Chapter 358
BFG
"Monsters are approaching. They'll arrive here within a week now."
As of today, Ferda suspended all external activities throughout Hestia and the entire Far East.
He ordered them to hold out with the stockpiled food until the situation resolved as best as possible, and moved to the battlefield alongside the reservists he had summoned.
Someone's son moves out.
"Be careful."

"Don't worry. I've got a gun, what reason would I have to die?"
Someone's lover moves out.

"Take care of yourself. If it gets dangerous, just run away. Even if you become a deserter, I'll follow you for the rest of my life."
"Don't say stupid shit. I'm gonna protect you and our kid."
Someone's father moves out.
"Daddy! Gotta teach those monsters a lesson?"
Ѐ n̊ŭ m а ..і d
"Of course! I'll smash every last one of those bad monsters to pieces and come back!"
The senders wept, while the departed moved out bravely as if without a care.
But how could they not know they were walking into the jaws of death?
The moment they turned their heads, most were shedding tears.

Worrying their families would do no good, so this was the last courage they could show.
Ferda led them walking toward the Wall.
Е́n̂ ūm á. i d
The Frontesis Wall.
A massive 50km wall designed by dwarves.
Atop that wall, Orin, King of the Dwarf United Kingdom, welcomed Ferda.
"As promised, the wall is complete."
"We'll be safe from medium-sized monster threats, then."
"Not necessarily."

Wondering if there was bad news, but the smile on his face was far from such anxiety.
"I'm keenly feeling the saying that the world is wide and there's much to see. Thanks to that, I applied some interesting tech too, and it turned into something more interesting than I imagined. Applying it like that, we'll be able to withstand a few hits even from the big bastards."
"Is that so?"
Since he said it showed even more solid effects, it was welcome news for Ferda.
"So, hmm..."
Orin subtly signaled Ferda with his eyes.
Ẁѐbñ о̇ v еl Еñù m̆ӓ
They had made a deal earlier.
"Construction's done, so as promised, you can now do whatever you want."

"I've been doing that since yesterday anyway. That punk Vernel brought some interesting blueprints."
He's focused on improving the rifle, but development is proceeding in parallel.
However, some designs were left alone because materials that could withstand the blueprints hadn't been researched.
"Found a few, and there's a really interesting one. There was a gun made exclusively for large monsters. So, you see."
Е n̊ ù.m а. і̄d̄
He spread both arms wide as if hugging something huge.
"I'm gonna make a fucking huge gun."
Ferda doubted his ears.
A remarkably cheap phrase came from the mouth of the Dwarf King.

"Did you say 'fucking huge gun'?"
"Young man already hard of hearing? It's a damn big gun! One shot and those huge bastards'll drop dead in one hit, firepower that'll kill 'em instantly!"
Eṅ ū m̌ а . і̇d̊
Madness lingered on Orin's expression.
Like a berserker craving blood and flesh.
"Fucking huge gun! What we need is a fucking huge gun! Thinking about fucking up those monsters with it, I'm already drooling! If you let us make that, we'll join the war too!"
"If you'll do that, we'd be grateful, but..."
He could only hope that mad warmonger appearance was just for now.
"But... can you finish that huge gun in time?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"About a week's work. But I knew that, so I've already been making it."
"Is that so?"
"Results'll come out in two days."
"...You've been making it since yesterday?"
"Actually been at it bit by bit since a week ago."
What the hell are these guys?
È ń u m̈ а̀ . і̇d
As Ferda looked at him with an exasperated expression, Orin avoided his gaze and spoke.
"Hey! Don't look at me with those eyes! Building the wall, 'coincidentally' there were leftover materials, and those materials 'coincidentally' were similar to parts! Hands were bored so I fitted them together and 'coincidentally' those parts got made!"

"I see."
"That's what I'm saying!"
"Nothing else hidden besides that fucking huge gun, right?"
"Of course not!"

"Actually there are a few more, but those just need a few bolts tightened and they're ready for combat..."
Hard to tell if they're reliable allies or willful brats.

One thing's certain: technology sharing is definitely something that needs careful consideration.

As all reservists gathered at the forward base, Ferda decided to leave the castle and stay at the forward base too.
"The castle's close too, there's no need for you to be out here..."
"Situation where an incident could break out any time, can the person in charge leave their post?"
That was just an excuse.
It was because as the time for the defensive battle approached, the pressure grew and anxiety gradually swelled.
That's why Ferda left the castle to stay near the wall, wanting to soothe this heart even a little.

But the construction officials were flustered by that decision.
"We didn't think the Regent-nim would come out and sleep here, so we didn't prepare a separate room..."
"A decent tent's fine. I'm used to places like that anyway."
"No, how could we do that?"
With no choice, they urgently gave Ferda a room assigned to one knight.
"Sorry for the sudden notice."
Ẁ e b̊ nо v̌е l̊ Е̂ ñ ū m̊ á
"It's fine. It's the fault of those officials who excluded the Regent-nim, what can we do? Please rest comfortably."
He said that, but it'd be a lie if he didn't resent Ferda.

There's nothing more malicious than giving then taking away, right?
Vowing to compensate him later, Ferda entered the room.
Hastily built, it was about the level of a cramped civilian house.
'Something feels strangely familiar.'
Е nu m̈ ȧ
Why?
Ferda felt like he knew this place.
The smell of dust lingering after construction finished.
Rough wooden table and candles.

'Just because it's a common civilian house?'
Civilian houses all look similar originally.
En̊ üm̊ ă
'That's not it.'
The sense of incongruity Ferda felt was clear.
He hadn't noticed because an important piece was missing.
If he just knew that piece, everything would become clear.
'Don't think.'
For some reason, Ferda didn't want to think.

As if not wanting to obsess over something he didn't need to know, not wanting to get entangled, he forcibly opened a book trying to distract his mind elsewhere.
But fate doesn't only come when you face it head-on,
Soon it crashed right before him.
Tok-tok—.
A visitor in the deep night.
As he moved to greet that guest, Ferda gradually realizes.
W êbn о̊vеl̀ Ѐn̂ û m ӓ
The last piece he hadn't noticed.
'This is a place I've been to.'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Familiar wooden table and candles.
'What I faced within that...'
The existence beyond this door.
Ferda opened the door.
E n̆u̇_mа .і̂ d
There, even in the cold night, a red woman.
Valdrova was there.
She probably knew everything.
Otherwise she couldn't express such betrayal with those gentle eyes.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
She opened her mouth.
"Let's... talk a bit."
Е.nù m̊ а̊
Ferda's nightmare becomes reality and begins.

Valdrova forced her heavy eyelids open and opened her eyes.
'How long did I sleep?'
Her body was the same.
Heavy and cold, feeling like strength was draining away.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
No, strength was there.
Just, not easy to control like before.
Powder scattered around where her hands reached.
They were stones she'd unconsciously gripped while sleeping, crushed into powder.
So no one was placed near her.
Because if something went wrong, the current Valdrova could kill them.
Е̂nũm̈ а̂. ǐ d̃
'Can't sleep too long...'
She forcibly raised her body to stop herself from falling back into dreams.

Remember the time, keep eyes open no matter how painful.
'You know what happened last time you did this, Valdrova.'
Even if her time is but a moment, human time is a long time no one else could have enjoyed.
She herself summoned nightmarish memories, making sleep frightening.
É n̄ů mа̀
She rested her head on her knees, focusing on regulating her breath.
'It's hard.'
Can't do it alone.
Someone is needed.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Names she knew welled up in her throat.
'No.'
Ẅ_еb́ n̈ ȯ.v̀ е ĺ Ёn̂ü mа̌
Valdrova wrapped her hands around her knees and squeezed tight.
'Don't make weak sounds. Even without Ferda-ssi, I overcame it fine back then. I did fine back then too, didn't I?'
It was certain.
Back then, she just felt that loneliness that had been so familiar again.
On the other hand, that thought spread into fear.
'And someday I'll face this loneliness again...'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Thinking another day like that would come, it was already painful.
-Holed up in here, huh?
Then, a woman's voice rang out.
Darkness even Valdrova's eyes couldn't penetrate.
Darkness with mass.
It gathered before Valdrova, gradually transforming into the shape of a walking woman.
Е̂ ń û m̆ a . і̌d
Elegant and cold appearance.
Wrapped in a black surface, unknown if long hair or clothes, it could be instinctively sensed as a transcendent existence.

-Still a truly hateful face.
That woman's eyes shone blue.
"Wh-who are you?"
Valdrova overcame her dizziness and asked politely.
W е̄b̊n̂о.ṽ е̄l̄ Ě nu_m̄ а̌
-My name is Sierra. I'm the foreign god you speak of. And the god who hates you the most.
"Why do you hate me?"
-The person who loves you came from my womb. I hate that that child loves you.
The person who loves me.

Valdrova thought of Ferda.
"If you're Ferda-ssi's mom... mother-in-law?"
Ӗ ṅ u m̌а
-Don't call me mother-in-law. Don't want to be associated with a lowly bitch like you.
The woman firmly drew a line.
-Why do that guy or that kid like someone like you...
Her fierce gaze shrank Valdrova.
Valdrova lowered her eyes and sat respectfully.
Those words weighed heavily on Valdrova's shoulders.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Body still struggling, now even her heart was heavy.
So heavy tears wouldn't even come.
-This is all because of you. Because of you, that child will die now.
"Wh-what...?"
Valdrova raised her head and asked.
-And many people will die too.
Е nů mа .і̊ d
"Wh-why...?"
-Stupid bitch. You really don't know what's happening while you lie here like this?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The black woman looked at Valdrova and sneered bitterly.
-Get up and look outside right now. Then you'll know what's happening. Clear enough for even that stupid head of yours to understand.
Sierra disappeared like that.
Appeared like a storm, raged like a storm, vanished like a storm.
Е́n̈ ü m a
Body and mind violated by that storm, she felt dazed.
'Outside...'
Her gaze turned to the iron door.
'What on earth is happening outside?'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
No idea how much time passed.
Her senses always directed toward the Far East were in chaos too, couldn't even tell if monsters were coming.

'I... how long have I been like this?'
A week? Or about two weeks?
A month?
Could several years have passed?
'Ferda-ssi and Ruri said they were fine.'
They're fine.

Don't worry.
They always told Valdrova that.
Valdrova wanted to believe those words.
But their expressions say it's a lie.
Still, when a truly critical situation comes, they'll ask her for help.
I am a Red Dragon.

The strongest dragon.
So it won't be the worst situation yet.

Yet she couldn't erase this anxiety in her heart.
Sierra's words had already dug into Valdrova's weakened heart.
She rose from her spot and tried taking a step.
Body heavy, but she could walk somewhere well enough.
Е́ń ûm̃а
She moved to confirm with her own eyes.
It was night now.
Countless stars and a new moon floated in the sky above.
Valdrova entered the dark forest and slowly headed toward the Demon Land.

Breathless and difficult, but her steps didn't stop.
Finally, something caught her eye.
W̌ e b̈.n о̂ v е̌l Е̃ǹ ů m̃а
"That's..."
The view that should've been wide open was blocked.
A massive wall and countless people gathered there guarding it.
Valdrova knew that sight somewhat.
The final battle with Godwin was fought right here.
It overlapped with the Dragon-Demon War for her.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Beyond just prepared memories, even the battle and its result.
The tragedy where countless people died rises again.
"Aah..."
Her chest feels tight.
Don't know what to do with this suffocation.
Whether to wail, whether to scream.

Could only look up at that place sweating cold.
"Master-nim?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
That was when.
A familiar girl's voice found Valdrova.
Valdrova turned her head and looked at her.
The silver-shining girl had a very flustered face.
Ẅеḃ n ŏ v̌е̊ l̇ Е ñū m̈ à
"Why are you here—."
"Ruri."
Valdrova cut off her words roughly.
At that action, Ruri froze.

"Right now... what's happening?"
"This is... well..."
W̃ ė b́ ñ.оv̌ ӗ l̇ Еnum а̊
Ruri, who always spoke expressionlessly, couldn't maintain that face now.
"Please..."
She grabbed Ruri's shoulders.
"Don't lie to me anymore. Please."
She begged like a frail woman.
Ruri couldn't refuse those words.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The truth showing now couldn't be covered with kind lies.
"In a week, monsters will advance here."
Ruri told the whole truth in the end.
"Regent Ferda-nim has summoned soldiers from everywhere and built a wall in preparation."
Only then does she realize the meaning of Sierra's words.
She really knew nothing.
Е̂ ńu m̄ а́
Knowing nothing, she'd been stuck in that dark cave sucking her fingers.
"Why..."

Valdrova vomited the emotions rising from her lips.
"Didn't you tell me?"
"That's—."
"Am I just baggage...? Or again... afraid I'll rampage like back then...?"

"That's not it, Master-nim."
Ruri tightly clasped her gathered hands.
"I... I..."
She wasn't pressuring with authority.

Valdrova had never seen her make such eyes.
Face purely angry with betrayal.
W̊е́ b́n̄ ǒ v̄ ё l̆ Е̊n̈ū m̊а
That's why the weight of that gaze was so incredibly heavy.
Standing there like a mute who ate honey, Valdrova didn't press her further.
"Ferda..."
That person definitely drove this.
"Where is that person?"
