It was a fleeting moment, and there was only one chance. Fernando gritted his teeth and even exploded his innate energy.
Rumble.
It was a flow of aura. His aura, which had been suppressed while he accepted Roman Dmitry’s teachings, erupted at once and caused a tremendous explosion.
Sven looked embarrassed. He intuitively knew that even the body of a shadow couldn’t handle the overflowing aura that seemed as if it were going to stain the entire world. But he couldn’t stop.
Henderson clenched his sword with red eyes.
“Come out… Cough. Let’s do it!”
Puak!
The sword penetrated Henderson’s body further. Henderson raised his aura and embraced the sword, and although he couldn’t hold it for a long time, he was able to create a momentary gap.
Henderson grinned with his bloodied face. The difference was just one second. In exchange for Henderson’s sacrifice, Sven retrieved the sword a step slower than he expected.
Puak.
Blood splashed. The moment Henderson collapsed with unfocused eyes, Fernando’s aura also exploded.
Kwang!
Kwakwakwang!
This huge shock occurred. Sven was engulfed in the powerful aura storm, and Sven’s eyes widened as his body was torn.
This was an unexpected situation. In the absence of Roman Dmitry, he had no idea that a 6-star aura swordsman like him would end up like this.
People said that starting at the 6-star level, one was beyond the state of the heavens. Against these basic ones, he couldn’t collapse like this.
“Kwaaaak!”
Rumble.
Dark aura rose. Sven’s body disintegrated into smoke, and he tried to vanish. It was possible because he didn’t have a normal human body.
Sven showed this demon-like expression as he overcame Fernando’s swirling aura and stepped forward. Even if this attack failed, Sven and Fernando knew that Dmitry’s side had no chance of winning.
But this was Dmitry, and Sven was alone.
“Explosion!”
Roar!
Knox’s presence flared up. After using Burning, he assimilated as one with the fire and used 6-circle magic to help Fernando’s attack.
It was a fatal blow, and Sven’s body staggered. The dark aura, which had erupted violently just now, seeped into his body, and he looked shocked.
A gap was revealed, and there were many beings who had been waiting for this opportunity.
Puak!
Puak!
McBurney moved to stab him in the stomach. Dmitry’s swordsmen came running from all sides like a pack of wolves.
Some ended up taking damage, but they didn’t care about their safety and stubbornly saved the chance they had obtained.
It was an attack that could work on the shadow. Hearing the terrifying sounds, Sven dropped the sword he was holding and fell to his knees.
At that moment…
Thud.
Sven’s throat was blown off. When they finally secured their victory, Fernando once again raised his aura and cut his throat.
It was over. The opponent had lost his head and collapsed.
Fernando, without even looking at the body, ran for Henderson.
Kevin and Henderson’s conditions were miserable. Kevin was unconscious the moment Fernando arrived, and the blood continued to flow from his open wounds. Meanwhile, Henderson’s condition was so bad that Kevin’s wounds looked normal.
At the wound that had been cut so badly that bones were exposed, Henderson looked pale and seemed out of breath.
“Endure it. Hold on until the end. Do not die here!”
Fernando shouted in anger.
Tak.
He opened up a potion. It was the best potion worth thousands of gold, and without another thought, he poured it onto him. Its effect was surely great.
The wound healed quickly, causing the blood to stop flowing out, but Henderson coughed up blood, and his body wouldn’t stop shaking.
“Bring more potions! Bring me more! More!”
Then everyone began running. They brought out everything they had on them for the sake of an emergency and continued pouring it on him despite knowing the effects wouldn’t be what they wanted.
Cough!
Dmitry. It hadn’t been a long time since it happened. Fernando was just getting to know people, and he couldn’t forget what Henderson did for him.
In Dmitry, Henderson was the most normal one. He approached Fernando with a friendly smile, like a friend next door, and took great care of the man.
He didn’t know how much a man named Henderson was worth in Dmitry.
Among the people who followed Roman Dmitry, each had their own strengths, such as swordsmanship for Chris, melee for Kevin, and tactics for McBurney… but when asked who was the best, everyone would say Henderson.
Henderson was such a good presence. The cogwheel formed a huge group, and in the process of dealing with a powerful enemy called Sven, this small cogwheel was in charge of making it happen.
He couldn’t die like this. He didn’t want Henderson to die.
“….s-stop.”
It was Henderson who came to his senses. As he looked at Fernando with a pale face, holding his breath, he said,
“Th-the war is not done yet. So… now, let each one do their parts.”
Beyond this place, there was a war happening. Even while holding on to Henderson like this, Dmitry’s soldiers were outside dying.
Henderson shuddered. At the borderline of life and death, like Kevin, he spoke of the purpose of their existence and not their comfort.
Just like Kevin met Roman in the slums, the sight of Roman Dmitry killing the Blood Fangs in the square was like fate for Henderson.
He accepted it too. Even if he died, he would accept it with a smile.
“…I understand.”
Kevin and Henderson. They were foolish people. If they had tried to take care of their own comfort, they would surely have found a way to survive.
So Fernando got up from his place. Minimal first aid was done. From now on, their lives depended on heaven, and at least in order to not make their sacrifice in vain, they had to lead the war against the Kronos Empire to victory.
He himself was now in Dmitry. Putting an end to the ridicule of being the 30th-ranked warrior, Fernando dedicated his existence to Dmitry.
“Make sure to endure.”
He turned his head, and then,
“From now on, I am going to wipe out the remnants of Kronos.”
With the face of a devil, Fernando headed for the castle wall.
Kronos’s plan was perfect. They surprisingly attacked the castle walls, made the shadows infiltrate the place, and then attempted to assassinate the head using Sven. And they never thought they would fail.
Dmitry would have to deal with too many things in this operation, and Mystic, who led it, was convinced that Dmitry’s walls wouldn’t last long.
But the truth was different. Until the reinforcements from the northeast arrived, he thought they had a clear advantage, but just less than an hour later, the situation was in full reverse.
Kiik.
Thud.
“Attack!”
“Destroy the Kronos Empire!”
Dmitry opened the gate. They thought they could wipe out Kronos with their current power before the reinforcements even arrived.
And so the melee fight began. Giving up the advantage of being on the wall, Dmitry’s army slaughtered Kronos’s soldiers with overwhelming force.
It wasn’t that they were too drunk on the advantage they had. Each of Dmitry’s soldiers possessed great strength and was capable of dealing with Kronos’s soldiers.
Moreover, there was the presence of a few figures. Fernando and Rodwell Dmitry took the lead, crashing relentlessly into the enemies.
Kwang!
Rumble!
It was now a massacre. In the hand-to-hand fight, Kronos’s troops were no match for Dmitry.
Goosebumps rose. Dmitry’s power was beyond what one could imagine. Even though they rated Dmitry as skilled from the start and mobilized enough troops to overwhelm them, even that didn’t work.
Due to Felix’s existence, their attack on the wall failed, and the shadows that infiltrated inside weren’t even able to hold on for thirty minutes and got annihilated.
And then Sven’s presence. They thought he would be the one who would bring the most results, but Mystic was shocked that he could no longer feel Sven’s presence.
“…is this the power of Dmitry?”
This place didn’t have Roman Dmitry. Kronos was wary of that one individual alone. He thought the difference here would be everything. However, the outcome here proved that Dmitry was strong as a nation.
Crack!
Rumble!
Fernando ran. He, who had become Dmitry’s gatekeeper, slashed the heads of Kronos’s soldiers and rushed for Mystic.
And Mystic raised his mana upon seeing him. Felix’s gaze was also fixed on him, and he raised his mana to nullify any magic being used.
This was the end. If he dragged it out any longer, his own life was at risk.
“Dmitry. Do not think that this is the end.”
Wheik.
The magic of darkness scattered, the space folded like a veil, and Mystic went into the darkness as he vanished.
Mystic escaped, and that was the moment when the fierce war came to an end.
Not far away, the veil of darkness opened up, and Mystic appeared. At that moment,
Flash.
Rumble.
Light flashed and exploded. Mystic instinctively raised the mana of darkness and blocked it, but then his expression changed. Someone appeared in front of him.
A being in pure white armor looked at him and said,
“I clearly made it clear. I told you not to get caught.”
“…damn it.”
Mystic looked nervous. There was a halo around the opponent. The being’s pure white armor and long blonde hair proved that they were one of the beings that Kronos was wary of.
People would know of their existence in the endless mountains. The protagonist of legendary rumors from the land beyond, and the dangerous being that Kronos was wary of.
All this time, there was a reason why the Kronos Empire suppressed its ambition to conquer the continent. Even though he wasn’t completely prepared, the existence in front of him interfered with the work of Kronos.
She raised her sword. Aiming it at Mystic, she raised her holy aura, which could be said to be conflicting energy with the devil of the abyss.
“Today, I will catch you and confirm the truth. Where is ‘that guy’?”
“That will not happen.”
Wheik.
Rumble.
Mystic’s magic exploded, and the two clashed.
There was this tremendous shock, as if the heavens and sky were cracking down. The war between Kronos and Dmitry.
For those who only remember that Mystic escaped, they didn’t know what was happening in this place.
In one war, Dmitry was blown away. At the same time that Dmitry and Cairo declared a state of war, the King of Cairo contacted the Hector Kingdom.
“Dmitry was attacked by Kronos. The attack happened while Roman Dmitry was away, and this is a plot against Roman Dmitry and Dmitry. Please move the troops of Hector. If something happens while Roman Dmitry is still crossing the border, the continent cannot stand against Kronos.”
They made a quick decision, and the attack on Roman Dmitry had already started. The problem was that the Kronos Empire, which had failed to capture Dmitry, could intensify its threat to Roman on the border.
It was an issue that Cairo could never stand by. The core of Cairo’s alliance with Dmitry was Roman Dmitry, and they knew that their kingdom could only survive with this person’s strength.
However, Hector’s answer was unexpected.
“I’ve already sent our troops. We also can’t accept Roman Dmitry’s death.”
They were enemies in the past. However, after receiving Dmitry’s aid, the Hector Kingdom considered Dmitry a confirmed ally.
And they were also contacted by Duke Dmitry. Dmitry’s Lord, who thought Roman was being pushed to the edge, declared that he would spare nothing if Hector supported them.
And because of that, Roman Dmitry was able to move to Dmitry using the Warp Gate of Hector.
Days after the incident.
Finally, Dmitry welcomed his long-awaited return.
