The flower petals that touched the ground quickly withered and dried.
A clear ominous sign.
“......!”
Aviciis turned his head with a jerk and looked straight ahead.
A change was occurring on the map displayed through the clairvoyance of conquest.
A dot that had been marked red changed to white.
Up until this point, it could have been like that. But about a minute later.
“Huh?”
A foolish sound that had lost its dignity came out of Aviciis’ mouth.
Because another dot next to it had changed color to white. And then another minute later.
“Huh?”
One more.
“Huh?!”
And another one.
“No......?!”
And then, in less than 30 seconds, it gushed!
“W-what the hell is going on!”
Aviciis was greatly embarrassed.
The church strongholds in the northeast that had been dyed red returned to white dots one by one.
It looked like dominoes lined up in a row were collapsing.
Of course, what actually collapsed was much more massive than dominoes.
“Wait, this is! The border of the magician’s country?!”
As the demon’s siege collapsed, the area that had been blackened and polluted regained its original color.
The Ragnape Magic Republic returned to the land of humans. From the demon’s perspective, it was as if they had suddenly lost 20% of their occupied territory.
Only then did Avicinis realize. The attack on the three city churches was nothing more than a distraction.
In the meantime, the cunning humans had clearly deployed a large number of troops to the border of Ragnape and launched a simultaneous suppression operation.
Yes. Judging from the way the border siege collapsed, there was almost no time difference.
It is impossible to judge that they organized a punitive force equal to the number of churches and moved at once.
‘They had the capacity to launch a massive offensive against the ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) humans!’
They had let their guard down since they had swept through the Holy Palace from the start and almost annihilated all the awakened divine powers above the 6th level.
The large-scale counterattack was shocking, but there was something else that was more important to Avicinis right now.
The humans recaptured the churches on the border at once and reclaimed the Ragnape Magic Republic.
This was a strategic move that followed the rules of Armageddon exactly.
The implications of this fact were clear.
“No way.......”
Avicinis’ purple eyes trembled slightly.
“Am I saying that among the human commanders, there is someone with the ability of ‘Conquest’s Clairvoyance’?” ✠ About 10 minutes ago.
The Hegelix Mountains that form the border of the Ragnape Magic Republic. There is a small mountain village surrounded by the winding ridge.
Greenwall Village.
It was the starting stage of the original work, where the ‘Sculptor’s Atelier’ dungeon burst.
As soon as the tutorial period ended, Aylet teleported here and evacuated all the villagers into the church.
Then and now, the church was barely used.
The priest in charge had long since fled, saying he didn’t want a village that smelled like goat poop, and the Seonghwangcheong didn’t send a new priest to the remote mountainous area.
The church had been left unattended for years without any services, and the villagers didn’t visit, so it eventually became nothing more than a junk warehouse.
Knock. Knock.
And so, the church became like an abandoned house, with rain leaking through the hole in the ceiling and spiderwebs everywhere.
In terms of size and appearance, it looked like a place that wasn’t much to look at.
However, since it was a strategic point in Armageddon, Avicinis sent a considerable demon here.
<Ugh. I, a spider prince, am being demoted.>
A handsome young man with long white hair and red eyes sighed as he spun the thread.
In fact, he looked a bit odd for a young man.
His half-naked upper body was as beautiful as a plaster statue, but his lower body had the form of a pure white spider with four pairs of legs.
A spider prince with a double-digit rank in the demon world, Arachnon.
He was a male arthropod demon reminiscent of an albino spider.
He was the archbishop of the Chaos Evil Grand Temple, but sadly he was put in charge of a nameless abandoned church.
It was originally an unused church, so he had not seen a single human figure since he was transferred.
So Arachnon is currently in a pitiful state, quietly spinning a spider web without being able to relieve his inner desire to kill.
Thanks to this, the abandoned church became even more gloomy with spider webs.
<I envy the goat demon Tezrihal and the archangel Helbreon.>
He was jealous of the other bishops who each had a large church. Arachnon himself wanted to run wild on a spacious stage.
He paralyzes humans with venom, turns them into cocoons, and hangs them to slowly extract and savor the fear of death.
Just imagining it was so thrilling that Arachnon's red eyes were about to open in ecstasy.
Thump!
A dull vibration was transmitted from not far away.
Arachnon had a feeling.
<An intruder!>
His hazy eyes flashed with madness, and his instinct to kill boiled over.
Just then, a loud noise could be heard from the hallway outside the chapel where he was.
“Is this where we should start?”
“Yes. It’s not adjacent to Lagnap, but Greenwall Village is secretly the center of the four countries.”
“Yes.”
“Oh, by the way, Agnes needs an explanation. Terry, do you want to do it?”
“Saint, this is a place we should occupy in case Abixinis finds out about our movements. If Abixinis reconstructs the siege to prevent us from breaking through to Lagnap, this will be our reference point. Of course, if Abixinis lets his guard down, it’s even better.”
“Yes, yes, Agnes. Yes, that’s right. I understand. If we recapture it, we’ll be banned from entering for two hours. We should use that time wisely.”
There were only two sounds and voices, but they were strange guys who pretended to talk to each other, but Arachnon was okay with the mental state of the prey.
‘The plaything is walking in on its own! Let’s have fun!’
Dadadadadak!
Arachnon’s four pairs of legs showed off their quick footwork.
He climbed the wall and clung to the ceiling, holding his breath and preparing a splendid welcome greeting.
The door finally opened and the sacrificial lambs stepped into the chapel.
‘This is the moment!’
The moment the hot venom drawn from inside his stomach was about to be sprayed on the heads of the two men and women.
Shoosh!
A pure white beam of light shot up vertically. The aura blade hit Arachnon’s abdomen squarely.
<Keuhuhuk!>
Instead of venom, the giant spider’s body groaned and fell to the floor.
The intruders said as if they knew it.
“As expected, spiders.”
“I like the ceiling.”
The pink-haired woman and the silver-haired man each drew their weapons. There was no need for a sword-like gesture.
Light formed in each hand, and a sickle and sword that shone as white as moonstone were created.
<You, you!>
Summoning weapons. That proved the identity of the two intruders to Arachnon.
<The Executor of Danak! And the Executor’s male!>
What returned the outburst was a joint attack by the two strong humans.
On the left, Tesilid raised the Holy Sword Libra diagonally.
The light of the sacred aura spread from the sword face held in his left hand. He lowered his posture and kicked the ground with both feet.
On the right, Aylet loosely held the Holy Sword Livli. Refined aura rose from the tip of the sickle blade.
The next moment, she also slashed at the enemy with lightning speed.
Slashes came from Arachnon's left and right.
Scream!
<... ... !>
The two weapons each cut through four legs. The target was the joints that formed the gaps in the solid outer shell.
It was cut off by the aura with incredible destructive power.
<Huh... ... ?>
Kuuung!
Arachnon collapsed. The four pairs of legs that supported his huge body were all destroyed and collapsed.
The enemy was immobile. Now it was time to finish him off.
Ailet, who had fallen behind Arachnon, snapped her fingers without looking back.
"Divine punishment."
The sky opened. Blue lightning split through the dark clouds and descended, completely destroying the ceiling of the church and striking the target of punishment.
Kwakwakwang!
The explosion engulfed the abandoned church. With the clean demolition, the spider prince disappeared into ashes.
The two who had summoned their weapons searched through their respective paladin uniforms.
“It took 1 minute and 32 seconds from arrival to processing.”
Tesilid checked the hands of his pocket watch.
“Now, speed is everything from now on. Let’s hurry.”
Ailet broke the space transfer stone.
The two moved to the next location. Another mountain village church appeared, occupied by the sign and emitting black energy.
Unlike the previous time when they had entered relatively leisurely, this time the two took the shortest route to the chapel.
<Purrrrrr! What are you guys?>
Black Unisus asked for an introduction, but what he returned was a blade of light that adorned his vision.
<Kkuuh-eok.>
The time it took to melt the beast-shaped demon with overwhelming firepower was... ... .
“1 minute and 19 seconds.”
“Okay, next!”
They moved to the next corrupted church. They ran to the church basement and destroyed the giant skull-shaped boss buried between other small skulls.
“48 seconds.”
“Next!”
They immediately destroyed the space transfer stone with the coordinates of the next church engraved on it. This time, they beat up the vicious giant rabbit-shaped boss in the backyard of the church.
“39 seconds. It’s taking longer to find the weaker ones because they’re coming out.”
“Let’s move more efficiently. How about we split up and go to three places from now on and meet up at Creco Village?”
“Okay, kid.”
The two who had been moving in pairs split up. Then, they each used their divine punishment and sacred auras to bombard the place before meeting again at the agreed upon location.
“We arrived almost at the same time.”
“That’s right.”
Ailet and Tesilid moved along the ridge of the Hegelix Mountains and recaptured the churches one by one.
Ailet had prepared the teleportation stone with coordinates engraved on it long ago.
Mobility was secured through precise spatial teleportation, and sufficient combat power was supported, so guerrilla warfare was possible.
Contrary to Avicinis’s expectations, there was no large-scale troop deployment. Those two were enough to carry out the strategy.
Even if they had known that Avicinis was attacking the border, they would not have had time to build a new siege line.
It was that fast.
And finally.
"That's it!"
