Chapter 401
What Is Precious
The vanguard of the Valdrova Kingdom's army finally saw the form of the Blue Eye.
Usually, once a form becomes visible, setting up camp in the vicinity is the basics of war.
But the army did not stop.
Rather, they moved even faster, advancing toward the Blue Eye.
The strategy itself was different from a siege; they had to finish it quickly and decisively.
Ѐn um̌ӓ .і̇d̀
It was then.
The Far Eastern army saw a sparkling light from above the sky, from the very edge.

At first, they thought it was a star.
Even though it was broad daylight.
Woo-woong!
A white beam of light flying with a tearing sound.
Ӗ nū m̊ á . ìd
It engulfed the army.
"Air raid! Everyone on guard!"
"Maintain formation! Don't scatter!"
Before the commanders' shouts could even fade, another attack flew in.

Attacks falling from the sky swept away the person next to them, so morale plummeting was inevitable.
But they weren't without recourse.
È nu m̊ ӓ ..і̃d̂
Attacks from the sky are countered from the sky.
A massive pile of dark clouds charged toward the Blue Eye.
From within, a roar like thunder poured out.
-You insignificant water things! Fear the great storm!
Attacks aimed at the ground noticeably decreased.
The Storeus spawns had succeeded in drawing the gaze upward and diverting the downward gaze.

The commander, judging it safe, shouted.
"It's an opportunity!"
"Artillery! Advance! Advance! Advance!"
Buuuuung!
The rough sound of magitech engines filled the battlefield, halting the army.
"Don't bring the equipment too close!"
Wе̊ bn о̀ v.ěĺ Е́ ňúṁа̄
"Protect the equipment first! If we lose the equipment, we have no tomorrow!"
Quickly pulling back the tarps that had covered the top revealed the weapons inside.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The BFG that had sent a large monster packing in one shot.
Its power was more than sufficient for anti-aircraft use.
Woo-woong—
Terrifyingly concentrated magical power gathered at a single point, glaring at the Blue Eye.
Ẁеbn̈ о v̈е̇ l̃ Еnũ m̊а́
Knowing its power well, they responded accordingly.
The waiting mages clearly felt it.
A massive convergence trying to suck up all the surrounding mana.
"The Blue Dragon is preparing an attack!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The Blue Dragon's attack cannot be blocked with the mana of the current forces.
Knowing that fact, they had persuaded Vernel, who had declared he wouldn't use it for war, to bring the BFG.
Е ńum̂ӑ
"BFG trajectory correction!!"
Chwa-rreureuk!
Removing the fixed catch, the BFG's trajectory aimed higher.
It was fixed precisely where the mana was converging.
"Fire!"
Kuuung!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Two destructive magical powers collided and exploded in the sky.
The cold chill vanished in an instant, and the surroundings became warm like spring in a flash.
"3 minutes!"
Erica shouted with all her might.
The reason turning your closest confidant, the person you respected and loved most, into an enemy is the most terrifying is precisely because they know even your weaknesses.
The soldiers withdrew from the BFG equipment, and Valdrova burst out and stood before the tower gate.
Е́ń u̇ m̀ а́
At that moment, a massive shadow passed across the sky.
Valdrova in the form of a dragon.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
In her chest, she held a bright light like heated iron, standing before the tower entrance.
She exhaled the flames she had been holding.
Kwaaaaa!!
The Iorga spawns could only be astonished seeing the defensive barrier flow spread across the tower.
W е b̌ṅо v̄ е l Ёňú ṁа
'The automatic reactive barrier gathered at one point to block Lady Valdrova's flames!'
'Just how powerful are Lady Valdrova's flames?'
They had probably only expected the BFG's attack to land a valid hit on the tower barrier.
The Blue Eye's barrier was that renowned for being solid and flexible in response.

Her fire was the flame that melted even Frontenium, the ore said to have the highest melting point on the continent.
Since it was the concept of burning itself, there was a limit to how much mana-wrapped barriers could resist those flames.
Е́n̆u m̊а̀ . îḋ
But even that didn't last long.
As if anticipating the tower would collapse, something descended from the tower's edge.
Hwiyuung!
It was a comet shining silver.
Once, that light was called an omen of a fallen nation for the calamity-class destructive power it carried.
That was a form only Silverwind could achieve, but with Silverwind dead, only Iorga could pull that off now.

She didn't come toward Valdrova.
She flew toward the human army, helpless before overwhelming power.
If it hit directly, everyone would surely die.
-Everyone get down!!
That's why Valdrova stood before its trajectory. She lifted her body and caught that comet.
Kuuung!
W е́ b̂_n о̆ v̀e l Е nŭm ӓ
Compared to the destructive speed, the bursting shockwave wasn't large.
Valdrova put all her body's strength into not letting that power scatter, receiving it whole.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Which meant Valdrova took damage that couldn't be ignored.
-Heup......!
Valdrova's golden eyes widened.
Suppressed Dragon Fear burst out.
Ёň u̇ m̀ а
Valdrova unleashed that energy toward Iorga's head right before her.
-I knew you'd do that.
Iorga said so, swinging her long body with all her might to attack Valdrova.
Kuung!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Another loud sound and a non-existent shockwave.
-Keuheup.......
Ë ṅ ū m а̃ . і̇d
A sound Valdrova couldn't hold back leaked from her mouth.
There are too many humans around.
She judged she couldn't fight properly like this.
Valdrova grabbed Iorga's body with all her might.
She hooked her claws firmly so they wouldn't slip out.
Iorga didn't resist Valdrova's action.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Instead, she poured magical attacks at her body, accumulating damage.
Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwang!
Valdrova taking relentless bombardment.
She lowered her body.
Bending her knees deeply, she made a diagonal line with her wings and flew skyward.
Kuuung!!
Ẅе̂b̊ n̊о̊v еĺ Е́ nŭ m̄ӓ
With enough force to make the ground heave, she soared into the sky.
'I need to go where there are no people.'
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
She had anticipated something like this.
Valdrova already had a place in mind.
Flying at high speed, she felt the sky gradually darkening and the chill brushing her cheeks growing sharper.
And finally, she saw snowy mountains and a castle site made of white snow.
Е̌ nů mа .і̇ d
That place was called Eisenfels.
And now it was an empty field with no one.
Kuuung!
Iorga and Valdrova collided, greatly shaking the ground.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
They stood unfazed even by that shock, and Valdrova stood with distance between them.
-Foolish Valdrova.
Ė ñu m а̄ . іḋ
Iorga spoke coldly.
-You'd want to protect people even if it means hurting your body. Even knowing the intent, that's all you can do.
Iorga's body gradually shrank, and a woman stood there.
Following that change, Valdrova's form also shrank.
The woman Valdrova grabbed her throbbing stomach and raised her head.
Iorga floating in the air came into view.

"Now you've come down to a level worth clashing with?"
"Iorga......."
She swallowed hard.
She felt the taste of iron rising from her throat.
"Why are you doing this to me?"
Valdrova asked as if genuinely not understanding.
Е̌ń um̄а
"This is my answer."
Magic circles unfolded from Iorga's fingertips.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
There were human ones, elven ones, dwarven ones, and even those of beings who cannot speak—everything was there.
The magic circles befitting the owner of magic all poured out attacks at once.
Vicious firepower that would have torn even a decent archmage's whole body apart.
But what was visible in the rising snow fog was an intact form.
Ẽ ń ûm̂ а
Buung!
Something long and sharp tore through the fog and forcibly opened the air.
Iorga knew what she was holding.
"That spear...... you're still holding it, foolishly."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Strength unnecessarily entered the hand gripping the spear.
Valdrova spat out the blood pooling in her mouth and asked.
W e b n̂ оv е̂ l Ё ñ u m̄а̃
"Yours...... is gone now?"
At that, Iorga also raised a spear.
"I threw it away."
It was Goz's weapon.
"I didn't have time to soak in sentimental memories like you."
A silver flash drew a long line as it moved.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
That light, hard to follow with eyes, ignored all laws, moved freely, and disturbed Valdrova's senses.
Valdrova's gray spear extended toward where the flash would pass.
But it didn't reach.
Iorga stopped right before it.
"Stupid Valdrova."
The flash-like attack pierced Valdrova's head.
Е̃ n ŭ mа . і̇d
No, she dodged it.
Iorga's spear only tore Valdrova's skin.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
With innate reflexes, she barely dodged the attack before even seeing it.
"You always spoke without thinking. You made things harder by focusing everything on just emotion."
Iorga's spear greatly slashed Valdrova's waist.
Chaeng—!
Е́ǹ ümӑ
Valdrova blocked that trajectory with her gray spear.
"And with that personality, you'll get married? Even knowing exactly what result will come?"
Iorga's fingers moved, targeting Valdrova's vital points.
Small but fatal power.

She engraved that it wasn't just a trick to divert attention.
"Do you think the time you've lived and the time they live are equal? An immortal and a mortal becoming one is impossible. Even if you step down from the Dragon King's throne, you'll live hundreds more years like elves. Do you believe your way of thinking and a human's way of thinking are the same?"
Е.ň.ù m̊а̌ .i d
A brief opening.
Valdrova gasped for breath and answered.
"Yeah. I believe that."
A remarkably clear voice unlike her physical state.
That resonance furrowed the brow of the expressionless Iorga.
"Think you can look at only me for a lifetime? Do you know how weak and easily changed a human's heart is?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Iorga asks.
"Yeah."
Valdrova answered without a shred of worry.
"Even so, Ferda-ssi...... will only look at me for a lifetime. That's why every day became precious. I'm not afraid."
Iorga's face crumpled.
Her composure finally collapsed.
Ẅ е̄b̂_ǹ.ô v̌ѐ l Еnù m̌ȧ
"Fine, go ahead and try!"
Iorga charged fiercely.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Loving a human so stupidly! Live like that for a lifetime!"
An even faster and more ferocious blade storm raged.
Chaeng-chaeng-chaeng-chaeng!
Even Valdrova's senses couldn't dodge them all anymore.
Wе b n о̊ v̆ е̃ l Е ñ u m̈а
"Every day is precious? How long will that last? Eventually getting tired of each other and having other thoughts is just a matter of time!"
The clashing gray spear bounced away.
Because of that, Iorga's spear also flew away together.
She grabbed Valdrova's hands, which had lost their center.

"You'll get hurt too, stupid Valdrova! You'll realize what a stupid thing it was to step down from the throne and beat the ground in regret!"
Iorga used her own head as a hammer and brought it down on Valdrova's head.
Еn ũ m̌ а̊.і̂d̈
Kwang!!
Valdrova's head snapped back.
What scattered with her hair was red blood.
In between, golden eyes were visible.
Where those eyes were directed was not Iorga, but behind her.
Iorga felt something was wrong.

At the same time, an unfamiliar air current warned her.
Something was flying at high speed from far away.
At this rate, she'll be hit.
Iorga hurriedly tried to dodge.
Kkwak!
But Valdrova's hand reversed and grabbed Iorga tightly.
Е n̊ u m̂ а
She shouted loudly.
"Ruri!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
At the same time as she cried out that name, a small and powerful silver comet fell.
It landed precisely on Iorga's back.
Kuuuung!
What struck her back was a large axe.
Е nu m а̇. і̄ d́
An axe swung down with ridiculous power and speed.
Even though it was a masterpiece made of the highest-grade steel, it couldn't withstand that power and speed and shattered into pieces.
Pachang!
But thanks to that, Iorga's skin tore.

Ruri's whole body tingled as if electrocuted from the magnitude of that shock.
But she gritted her teeth and tensed every muscle in her body.
Ẇėḃ ṅо v̆ ē ľ _Ѐ n̊ ŭm̆ а̃
Ruri fixed her gaze on Iorga's torn back.
The resentful girl opened her mouth.
"Lord Goz's...... thing......."
Ruri extended her hand toward it, setting her nails.
"I'll take it back!"
Putting her nails into the torn flesh, a massive vibration arose.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Woo-woo-woong—.
Iorga was horrified by that vibration.
"No way......!"
The essence inside Iorga had reacted.
What she thought had already melted into her body was converging and crystallizing again.
The essence that Goz's body couldn't adapt to reacted vigorously to Ruri.
W ėb nò v́ е̄ l̀ Ē n̆ů m̆a
Ruri was the fate Silverwind had created to kill Valdrova.
The power of fate sensitively set to her own essence made even the absorbed essence lean toward Ruri.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
-Get off my body!
With a scream-like sound, she wrapped shock magic formulas around her whole body.
At the same time, the activated magic became a shockwave spreading in all directions, pushing them away.
Not only Ruri but even Valdrova was pushed back.
Ẽňũḿа
But all the essence came out into Ruri's hand.
It settled in Ruri's body, and a change occurred in her body.
A sensation she had never felt even once.
Her joints itched then suddenly ached.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
At the same time, her clothes became tight. The length of the axe she held gradually changed, and above all, her eye level was changing.
Ruri could tell.
Ŵе̂ b n̆ о̀ ṽӗ.l̄ Е ṅù.m а̃
It was growth.
Ruri Silverwind, who had stayed a child forever, had grown into a woman.
'This...... is me......?'
Her body became even lighter, and power overflowed.
So she couldn't move easily.
She couldn't even gauge how much faster she'd become, feeling like she'd show a weird appearance.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
She was admiring her appearance for a while, then came to her senses.
Quickly subdue Iorga!
Thinking that and raising her head, she met eyes with Valdrova.
She spoke with her eyes.
Don't interfere anymore.
"Haa....... Haa......."
Е̄ ñ um а
Iorga, having lost all of Silverwind's essence, breathed roughly.
Having been at the explosion's central point, her body was tattered.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
If not for Mesabosk's regenerative power, she would have been crippled long ago from the magnitude.
Valdrova looked down at Iorga.
Blood flowed on her forehead, but she didn't care.
"Iorga......."
Е n̈ u m̃_ä
"You...... used your head, Valdrova."
Iorga vomited blood but didn't forget to speak.
"Stupid as you are......."
Finally, Valdrova's expression also crumbled.

Charging at Iorga with resentment, she grabbed her neck.
"I really hate you!!"
Еnu m̃ ӓ . і̀ d̊
She pushed her into the snow field.
"Why do you always do this only to me!? Why do you always treat me like that!"
"Why always? That's what I want to ask!"
Iorga screamed hysterically with all her might.
The times they spent together flashed by.
"Why do you come with a stupid face? Why do you ask me to teach things you're not interested in? Why do you keep bothering me!"

Valdrova shouted back.
"Because we're friends!"
"Friends......?"
"When times are hard, a friend is supposed to be there!"
Iorga was greatly shaken by those words.
She got angry at those words.
Е̇ n̈ûḿ.å
"I never had a hard time! When did I ever do that for you to say that!"
"You killed your fiancé! With your own hands!"

She said "Ha!" cynically.
"That insect bastard deserved to die! He recklessly touched what I told him not to touch until the end! He knew there was a mission to control magic on this continent! He touched the taboo!"
"But you were sad!"
When she heard the news that Iorga killed her fiancé, Valdrova went to her and asked if she was okay.
Ӗǹù m a
Iorga answered she was fine, like she did to others.
But Valdrova knew.
"I know you haven't forgotten for a single moment since then......!"
Iorga's words were blocked.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
For some reason, she couldn't deny those words.
Her head went blank realizing the days with Valdrova had been to comfort her.
Ѐ ñ u.m̊.ӑ .і̄d
Not comfort, but loneliness was less.
But she didn't acknowledge it.
Iorga's mouth became more venomous.
"So what!? Did I ask you to help?! You pathetic bitch who only acts pitiful, what gives you the right to pity me!? You retarded fire lizard!"
"You, you......!"
Valdrova unclenched her fist.

She slapped her face hard with her palm.
Ppaak!
A terrifying sound unbelievable from a palm strike.
"You dimwitted bitch!"
Iorga also flipped her body with resentment and mounted her, hitting her hard.
"This! This...... iek!"
W̌ е b_ṅ о̊v̇ è l̈ Ѐ nũ m̈ а́
"Euek!! Aak!!"
Language function increasingly lost, they grabbed whatever their hands caught, and soon they were pulling each other's hair.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The mess becoming a fight was a trivial women's squabble, embarrassing to call a dragons' fight.
But in the end, the one gaining the upper hand was Valdrova.
Valdrova, her hair a mess, breathed roughly.
She spat out unrepressed emotions.
Еn̊u ḿа̌
"Fine! Like that forever!! Foreeeever! Curse like that foreeever!"
Valdrova screamed with resentment.
"Everything you curse! All of it! I'll make it all nonsense! I'll get married right before your eyes! I'll be lovey-dovey with Ferda-ssi like craaazy! And, and! I'll have a kid who looks like Ferda-ssi and me! Not one, but two! No, three!! I'll pop them out! They'll be incredibly cute, kind, and smart! I'll make you so jealous you'll envy us! And then......! And then......."
Her hands striking Iorga's shoulders trembled.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A water droplet fell on Iorga's cheek.
Too clear and transparent to be blood.
W̌е_b̊n̊ o ṽ eľ Е̂ñŭ m a
"I'll brag that I have...... such a pretty, smart aunt like this."
Valdrova collapsed on top of Iorga and wept.
Many dragons came to Valdrova.
They spoke of their desired fates, and Valdrova accepted those fates.
Thus she let go of countless ones.
Valdrova never once insisted on her way.

And at this moment, Valdrova broke that taboo.
"So Iorga...... stay by my side. At least you...... don't leave me."
They were all family, but Iorga was closer to a friend.
Always by her side, a good friend who supplemented her lacking parts.
Mouth was rough, but heart was deeper than anyone, a friend who understood her well.
Now they'd grown awkward, unable to even converse properly,
Е̂ṅ u̇m̊ а̄. і d̆
But if they faced each other again, they'd understand each other instantly—a friend she couldn't live without.
"Please...... don't leave me."

The crying voice enters the ears sadly.
Iorga's eyes saw the sky.
At some point, the heavy snow stopped and truly clear light was falling.
"Stupid Valdrova."
W̊ е̃b̊n о̌ v̇ е̊l Е̊ n̈ ù_m̆ ӓ
Rough words spat out.
But the worn expression was reviving.
No, it was right to say she had hidden it.
"Because you make that face...... I couldn't say those words to you for a lifetime."

Iorga also embraced Valdrova.
Not hugging tightly like Valdrova, but that didn't mean her precious heart was less.
É.n um̊а̀. іd̀
This precious, but she broke everything.
Precious things make one sentimental and cloud reason.
Because of that, she arbitrarily tested and killed her fiancé.
The rational and intellectual Iorga's life was already too broken for one life.
Iorga envied Valdrova.
She wished for her happiness in her heart, but that was now close to twisted obsession.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
And this can't be resolved no matter what.
"Let me go. And please live happily......."
She spoke the fate she desired.
She pretended not to hear, but had already heard.
"Iorga."
As a friend, not a king, she gave a final farewell.

"Goodbye......."
The Blue Eye was neutralized.

Thus the war ended.

Late night.
Valdrova sent her friend away with her own hands and returned to the castle.

Wanting comfort from Ferda, she headed to his bedroom.
He was sitting on the bed, waiting quietly.
"Ferda-ssi."
She tried to smile forcefully, but it didn't work well.

A strange scent came from Ferda's body.
It was a scent she knew well.
Е̃ nüṁа̊ .і̆d̃
"Where...... did you go?"
Valdrova asks with a trembling voice.
Inwardly, she hoped he'd say something else.
Because the scent wafting from his body was Olivia's.
"I met Olivia."
Her heart dropped.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
She already knew the purpose he went for.
"So...... what did you do?"
She asks about his choice.
At his complex expression, Valdrova's heart grew urgent.
