Immediately after King Hispenril and Marquis Recandro shouted, auras, divine powers, and magical powers swept across the land.
A fiercer battle resumed outside the city hall than before.
<Useless... ... .>
<Death to the intruders... ... .>
Contrary to their stern voices, the demons mercilessly attacked the punitive force.
No matter how much the continent’s strongmen displayed their skills, there was no way to deal with the endless barrage of demons rising from the ground.
Furthermore, infiltrating the center of the enemy’s territory inevitably meant being prepared for a siege.
The punitive force also suffered heavy casualties as they responded while at a tactical disadvantage.
“Eww!”
“Lord Elmen!”
“Priest, danger...! Keuk!”
“Lee, Lord Linden? Lord Linden! Open your eyes, Lord Linden!”
“Damn it!”
As each of their comrades fell, the knight’s sword grew sharper, the priest’s prayers grew more earnest, and the magician’s flames grew more blazing.
No one retreated in fear.
From the beginning, all of the punitive force were here, prepared to shed blood on behalf of their families, friends, and lovers.
However, despite their brave and noble resolve, the battle showed no end. The punitive force’s injuries increased and their stamina waned.
‘This can’t go on.’
Marquis Lekandro, who was cutting down demons not far from Tesilid, felt the need for a decision. That’s why he shouted.
“Your Majesty! If this continues, it will only become a war of attrition!”
She was not the only one who realized the seriousness of the situation. The continent’s powerful forces had moved in to exchange opinions.
Fligel, who had landed after grabbing the giant goat’s throat, also spoke.
“It’s impossible to move all together. It would be better to break through with only a few elites.”
“If it’s a few elites, it would be me, the Fligel Army, the Marquis, the Duke, and the Master of the Holy Sword?”
“Yes, Lord Morifis.”
Duke Hispenril let out a sigh as he pulled out the Grim Reaper Lord’s spine with his bare hands.
“There’s no other way.......”
The reason the Holy Spirit Army can hold out now is because the continent’s strong players are active.
If the elites leave here, the damage to our allies will be severe.
However, we can’t fight like this, wasting time and energy.
It was a time when the commander in chief needed a bold decision. So all four of them stopped fighting and turned around.
“Your Highness, make a decision!”
“Granddaughter-in-law! We’ll share the responsibility!”
But.
“Your Highness......?”
“Granddaughter-in-law......?”
Just a moment ago, Tesilid, who had been scattering the light of the sacred aura like a lighthouse near Marquis Lekandro and was acting like a savage, was nowhere to be seen.
“Huh? Where did the master of the holy sword go?”
“......How could this be.”
“Fligel-kun?”
“Look over there.”
The silver-haired knight was turning his back and moving away from the direction pointed by the first-class assassin’s fingertips.
“No?!”
It was a surprising sight.
The demons that rushed as if they would annihilate all the intruding humans were different for Tesilid.
They were giving him a narrow side road as if they dared not approach him.
Thanks to that, the silver-haired knight was leisurely crossing the middle of the hell of the ten thousand demons without any obstruction.
“Your Highness the Prince!”
“Granddaughter-in-law!”
The call of Marquis Recandro and King Hispenril stopped his straight back from moving away.
Tesilid, who looked back over his shoulder, opened his mouth with an expression and tone that was unparalleled in beauty.
“It’s dangerous from here. I’ll go and take care of it, so please take care of your allies.”
“......!”
There was no time to reply. The demons poured out again and covered the path Tesilid had taken.
The four strong men lost sight of Tesilid.
Marquis Recandro belatedly expressed his anger and Fligel sighed.
“No, what is he talking about! It’s dangerous, so we should go together, Your Highness!”
“...... It seems that the Holy Sword’s subordinate and the owner of the Holy Sword are a perfect match.”
It was a meeting of two identical beings.
King Hispenril coughed in vain, cleaned up the surroundings with his aura, and spoke sternly.
“Let’s chase after this place as soon as it’s cleared up!”
Those who exchanged nods began to focus on the battle in the courtyard again.
“.......”
Meanwhile, Tesilid had finished the end of the courtyard and had already entered the Seonghwangcheong building.
Step, step... ... .
His measured steps echoed on the cold, dry marble floor.
The corridors, filled with darkness and silence, had already completely transformed into a demonic realm, having left the realm of the human world.
The air of corruption overflowed throughout the space, infiltrating everything he could see.
The stained glass, sacred art murals, and marble statues were dyed black and became a hideout for demons.
The goat demons hiding in the glass mosaics snorted, the naked demons in the murals revealed their fangs and claws, and the angels pretending to be statues spread their wings.
They glared at the silver-haired intruder crossing the hallway.
<This looks like delicious prey! Let’s chew on it!>
<Keuk, I’ll take that stigmata-carried left arm. Kkeuk... ... .>
<I don’t need any stinky flesh! Instead, the scapula and iliac crest are mine!>
<Keeee! Eyeballs, I like those blue eyes! Give them to me! Keeee!>
Demons coveting the handsome man’s body swarmed from all sides.
However, they stopped just before reaching Tesilid. And then suddenly retreated.
<Hmph? No, this is... ... .>
<This isn’t prey... ... !>
<W-Wow... ... ?!>
<This guy... ... !>
The demons returned to their places, crouched, and trembled. No one dared to block Tesilid’s path.
“.......”
Tesilid continued walking past the corrupted artworks.
An unexpectedly convenient situation. A bitter thought settled in his mind.
There was no need to worry about strategies, such as the 88th or the 91st.
The 117th had a 117th strategy. Because he had passed the 100th... ... .
‘Because he is also a lead.’
The law of the Demon King’s Spirit, which corrupts existence, allowed him to enter without bloodshed.
As time passed, the shadow chasing him became distorted by the law of the Demon King’s Spirit.
Tesilid’s black silhouette, cast long across the walls and stained glass, depicted long hair.
The sound of a pipe organ was heard, as if to announce that the main chapel was approaching.
A heavy monotony of dissonance enough to drive a human mad. But it wasn’t enough to affect Tesilid.
His two legs soon reached the black door reminiscent of the entrance to the Manma Hall.
Kuuuung.
Tesilid pushed open the huge door with both hands, embossed with demons.
A gust of wind mixed with the petals of the sine quake blew and covered his vision.
Soon, as if the curtain was rising on a stage, the deep red petals ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) cleared away, revealing the entire grand chapel.
The main character was already standing on the stage.
A beautiful girl with blond hair that turned mint toward the end. Demon King Avicinis was performing an unknown ritual surrounded by a thousand candles.
She narrowed her eyes at Tesilid.
“What? A human has already reached this point?”
Confusion filled the walls, but it only lasted a moment.
As expected of a supreme Demon King, she stood up straight, showing off her powerful presence and majesty.
“Since we have some time left, I think it would be good to play around a little.”
Tesilid stretched his right arm out to the side.
Where his fingertips touched, a holy light formed the shape of a sword and soon materialized.
He aimed the holy sword and said.
“We don’t have time here, so let’s handle this quickly.”
The square jewel embedded in the sword’s hilt emitted two colors of light. Deep blue and deep red intersect in the intermittent flashes.
This is the realm of the Demon King who has become a demon world. He was no exception to the law that corrupts everything.✠ “It seems to have started over there.”
A languid low-pitched voice echoed through the air at the top of the snowy mountain.
His gaze was directed to the northeast. That was the direction where the Seonghwangcheong was.
The purple moonlight pillars were getting darker, and the swirling dark clouds that were floating low were getting faster.
It was a clear sign that the battle with Avicinis had begun.
“I see.”
I replied indifferently and looked away from them.
The moment I caught a glimpse of the Seonghwangcheong was enough to make me aware of the punitive force. More than that, now... ... .
“Are you focusing on me? I appreciate it.”
“If you appreciate it.”
I looked away, having lost my temper. Not far from Tesilid’s feet, I saw a flagpole-shaped artifact that was carelessly stuck in place.
“Would you like that?”
Establishing a holy place.
I needed it. Because it was the last artifact required by the ‘Synthesis Mystery Box’. [<Quest> ■■■■ Synthesis (Difficulty: Unknown)
What you need for your difficult wish is the ‘■■■■’ artifact. To synthesize it, you must put the following artifacts as materials into the Synthesis Mystery Box.

“Then will you come to me?”
Reed’s offer, which came back in return, cut off my thoughts.
“If you come to me, I’ll give you the whole world, but is this artifact worth it?”
“If you don’t want to give it to me, just say you don’t want to give it to me.”
“A refusal? I’m sorry.”
Reed raised his right hand. I instinctively tensed my whole body, but it was unnecessary.
Instead of causing destruction, his gesture created a chair made of snow and ice behind me.
“Shall we sit down and talk?”
He showed his intention to talk. If so.
“Okay.”
There was no reason to refuse.
I leaned my upper body deeply against the snow backrest and grabbed the ice armrest with my hands.
Reed had done something, but it wasn’t that cold.
The man who had treated me was sitting on the rough ice, looking at me.
“.......”
“.......”
The silence as we stared into each other’s eyes grew longer.
This time couldn’t last forever, so someone had to start a conversation. If anything, it would be my role.
“Reed.”
“Yes, Aylet Rodelin.”
He closed his eyes tightly as if he had woken up from a dream.
I said.
“I know what your purpose is.”
