147.

Kuguugugugugugu-!

The earth’s axis shook.

Grwaaaaaaaar!

At the same time, a mass of corpses roaring burst through the ground.

“Oh my.”

Seeing this, Elena took out a handkerchief from her bosom and covered her nose and mouth.

“How vulgar.”

At the same time, fragments of light flew toward the mass of corpses.

Pababababak-!

Like giant glass shards, Elena’s magic mercilessly crushed the mass of corpses.

Dark red blood splattered and chunks of flesh from the corpse mass scattered everywhere.

Flash-

In an instant, yellowish eyes turned toward Elena.

“Hmm.”

Elena narrowed her eyes.

“It’s useless! Such crude attacks!”

Kekekeke-! Bursting into laughter, Viner unleashed dark magic.

Squelch-!

The corpse mass summoned by Viner, the corpse golem, tore off chunks of flesh attached to its body and threw them at Elena.

Elena dodged the chunks of flesh being hurled at tremendous speed.

Elena, who had deployed fly magic, was flying freely through the air.

‘She wouldn’t use such pathetic attacks.’

Kuguugugugu-

At the same time as Elena’s thought, a pitch-black hole opened right behind her.

Along with it, the chunks of flesh that Elena had dodged came bursting out.

Seeing this, Elena immediately deployed shield magic.

Splat-

Elena frowned at the chunks of flesh that stuck to the barrier.

At the same time, the flesh stuck to the barrier began to swell.

Kwang-!

Flesh and bone scattered in all directions.

A mist of dark red blood spread everywhere.

Elena, who revealed herself, laughed with a “Hmm-“

“This hurts a bit.”

‘The attack power has increased incomparably to before.’

Elena narrowed her eyes and looked at the black flames surrounding Viner’s body.

‘Is that the power of a god… Erebos’s power?’

Elena, who had narrowed her eyes, looked around.

From Elena’s position floating in the air, the scenery of Barharlun was clearly visible.

The elves on the streets screamed and fled upon seeing the corpse golem.

The entire city fell into chaos.

But…

‘They’re disappearing.’

Elena could see the city’s residents disappearing as fragments of light.

‘Just like Merin before.’

As if the Heroes’ World had been conquered, the residents of this world were disappearing.

‘But they’re not disappearing because it was conquered.’

The world was collapsing.

Elena, who had experienced many Heroes’ Worlds, instinctively realized this fact.

Then light shot up from the center of the city.

‘Signal flare magic? Leo and Runia?’

Hadin also noticed it.

The face of Viner, who had become a hideous monster, crumpled mercilessly upon seeing the signal flare.

“Sid, that damn bastard! Why are those fucking Hero Candidates there!”

At Viner’s hysterical outcry, Elena narrowed her eyes.

‘Sid?’

It was the name of a famous demon.

A Demon Summoner who had devoured Hero Candidates time and again.

‘Can Leo and Runia handle that guy?’

No matter how much they were grade representatives, he was a demon too difficult for first-year level students to face.

Elena landed beside Hadin.

“Elena.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll handle this place.”

At those words, Elena glanced at Hadin and said.

“Will you be okay alone? That demon has gotten quite strong.”

“It’s enough. You go support Runia and Leo.”

“Understood. Then I’m counting on you.”

Elena smiled brightly and tried to head toward the World Tree.

Kwang-!

A giant mass of flesh blocked Elena’s path.

Viner’s giant arm had stretched out to block Elena.

“You damn bitch. Where are you running to?”

Looking at Viner who wore a cold smile, Elena grinned.

“I’d recommend removing that filthy arm while I’m being nice.”

“Ha! Arrogant bitch! Keep being so cocky…”

Flash-! Crack!

“Kuhek!”

A fragment of light created by Elena pierced Viner’s face.

“You seem to be seriously mistaken about something.”

Thud! Crack! Thwack-!

“Kkeuk?”

“I’m not running away because I’m scared of you.”

The fragments of light created by Elena mercilessly pierced Viner’s body according to her will.

Looking at Viner who appeared to be covered in glass shards, Elena raised her delicate arm.

And wiggled her thin, delicate fingers.

Whoosh-!

The fragments of light soared high into the sky according to Elena’s will.

Accordingly, Viner, with fragments of light deeply embedded in her body, also flew up into the sky.

“Then I’m counting on you for the rest, Hadin.”

Elena, who smiled brightly and waved her hand, headed toward the World Tree.

Whiiiiiiing-!

At the same time, Viner’s heavy body began to fall vertically above Hadin’s head.

Seeing this, Hadin sighed and lowered his sword.

Whoooo-!

A wind of aura swirled around Hadin.

Looking up at the sky, Hadin swung his sword toward Viner approaching his field of vision.

Flash-!

As a silver flash gleamed, a giant blade of wind split Viner’s body in half.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaah!”

Viner’s scream filled with agony.

Crash! Crash!

Viner’s body was slammed into the ground as flesh scattered in all directions.

Viner’s body writhed and clumped together as it recovered.

“D-damn bitch, to the very end…!”

Slash-!

Viner, who had been glaring toward where Elena went with flashing eyes, suddenly felt her vision flip.

“What?”

“This isn’t the time to be worrying about Elena, is it?”

Thud-!

Viner’s head rolled and fell to the ground.

Looking down at such Viner, Hadin spoke.

“Your opponent is me.”

“Ha! How arrogant…! You think a bastard like you can stop me?”

Watching the bristling Viner, Hadin spoke calmly.

“I may be insufficient, but I’d like you to be satisfied with me.”

“Grr! These damn brats…!”

Murderous intent rippled across Viner’s face.

Reaching out to grab her head, Viner brought her head to her neck and said.

“I’ll chew you up ali…”

Slice-!

Once again, her vision flipped.

When Viner realized it, her head had rolled to the ground again.

‘When did he cut me?’

Viner’s face was colored with shock.

There had been no sign of him swinging his sword.

‘Did he swing his sword at a speed I couldn’t perceive? No! This brat didn’t swing his sword!’

Yet her neck had been cut.

Watching Viner’s shocked expression, Hadin spoke.

“You never know where the wind will blow from.”

Hadin calmly raised his sword.

Slice-!

This time Viner’s arm flew off.

Viner’s body recovered.

Slash! Slice-!

Her body began to be sliced apart at an even faster rate.

When half her body had been blown away, Viner realized.

‘He’s dominating this space with aura?’

Viner’s face was colored with shock.

Just as she suspected, Hadin was perfectly controlling the wind in the surrounding area.

The blowing wind became his sword and cut down Viner.

‘What kind of monster is this bastard…!’

Viner’s face turned pale.

Seeing such Viner’s face, Hadin spoke with an expressionless face.

“You were going to fight Elena while being surprised by this much?”

“What?”

“That woman is incomparably stronger than this.”

Slash-!

Viner’s face was severed.

In her shifting vision, she could see Hadin making a cold expression.

“I don’t know what schemes you’re plotting in the Progenitor’s World… but things will never go the way you bastards want.”

***

Luna’s gaze followed the white hair.

Speed that was difficult to follow with the eyes.

The young boy’s flashing red eyes seemed to embroider the air.

‘What exactly is this child?’

It was a young boy she had met for the first time today.

Moreover, he was a human, not even an elf who could be called her kin.

For Luna, this was the first human she had ever met in her life.

But the young boy treated her familiarly as if they had known each other for a long time.

Though she wasn’t particularly shy, even so, the familiarity she felt from the young boy made Luna feel bewildered.

The young boy’s familiarity. The way the young boy treated her felt like he knew her too well.

It was the same now.

Leo accurately avoided Luna’s magic trajectories while driving the enemies back.

When using magic, there was no need to worry about Leo’s movements at all.

All Luna had to do was comfortably chant her spells.

It was as if they had been coordinating for a long time.

‘Amazing.’

The flow of Luna’s mana became more lively.

There was no hesitation in chanting spells.

She could concentrate everything solely on her spells.

It was the same for Leo as well.

Until now, Leo had been mindful of every situation while fighting.

Even when he had companions, he always prepared for unexpected situations.

He had never comfortably entrusted his back to anyone.

This wasn’t because he didn’t trust his companions.

In his previous life.

It was a habit formed from filling empty spots each time his close friends left one by one during that fierce and long battle.

But the current Leo was different.

As if filling an empty spot that had been vacant for a long time.

Leo entrusted his back to Luna.

Luna’s presence, which had reliably protected his back for so long, was like giving wings to Leo’s back.

Runia, watching this scene, felt goosebumps rising.

‘To think their coordination is this good.’

Both of them seemed like companions who had fought together for a long time.

Their coordination was so perfect that one might think they shared thoughts.

Slash-!

Leo, who had cut down the monster before him, glanced at Luna.

Luna’s eyes also met with Leo’s.

Unlike Leo, who knew the reason for their good coordination, Luna was bewildered by the perfect coordination with Leo.

Leo smiled and rushed toward the next enemy.

“Grr! Did he get even faster?!”

Runia exclaimed in shock while supporting Leo.

Luna watched Leo’s retreating figure and thought.

‘Leo Flobe, who are you?’

As if meeting the other half of her soul.

‘Why do you know me so well?’

The image of the young boy who had affirmed her dreams came to mind.

‘Why did I think I should help this child?’

Questions swirled, but there was no hesitation in Luna’s movements.

Then Polium emitted a gentle light.

A gray light different from before.

The rough yet warm light captured Luna’s gaze.

‘I guarantee it.’

Luna showed a surprised expression upon seeing Polium suddenly react.

The moment she saw that light, it felt as if someone’s beautiful and clear voice had swept through her mind.

‘This meeting will surely save the world.’

“Lady Luna?”

“Hm?”

“Why… are you crying?”

“What…?”

Luna tilted her head in confusion at the tears flowing down her cheeks.

“I wonder. Why am I crying?”

Runia showed a flustered expression as she watched Luna express doubt as if she didn’t know the reason.

Meanwhile, Leo didn’t stop.

He slaughtered the demons blocking his path like a madman.

‘Only low-level demons are blocking the way, how strange.’

Leo narrowed his eyes.

Sid, whom he had met earlier, was not a low-ranking demon.

‘If it’s a place where such a demon has been entrenched for a long time, there should normally be more dangerous things.’

While thinking this, a fork in the path appeared.

“Which way is the audience hall?”

“To the right!”

At Luna’s words, Leo ran without hesitation.

Shortly after, a large door with the World Tree drawn on it came into view.

“Is that it!”

Whoosh-!

Leo’s flames blazed even more fiercely.

“Stop.”

Then shadows surged up in front of Leo.

What emerged through the shadows was none other than Sid.

“How dare lowly beings like you come to a place like this…”

Crack-!

Before Sid could finish his furious outcry, his neck went flying through the air.

Leo, who had severed Sid’s neck without batting an eye, snorted.

“Why so much talking?”

“Eek! Ack!”

Sid’s face, which had rolled to the ground, was filled with rage.

Thud-!

Leo trampled on Sid’s head and spoke.

“That’s your true form, isn’t it? Vermin.”

Leo let out a mocking laugh.

Grooooo-!

Powerful dark magic erupted from Sid’s head.

Thwack-!

Leo kicked Sid’s head away.

Thwack-! Roll roll roll!

Sid’s head, which had been rolling on the ground, came to a complete stop.

Spider legs sprouted from the cross-section of the severed head.

Luna frowned upon seeing it.

“Ugh! What’s so disgusting?”

“A wench born with lowly blood sure talks a lot.”

“Just because you pretended to be a High Elf, do you think you’re really an elf?”

Leo smiled coldly.

Watching such Leo, Sid crawled with spider legs toward nearby demons and stabbed his spider legs into them.

Crack-!

As the spider legs dug into flesh, the demon’s body soon transformed into that of a human.

“You will never be able to enter this place.”

Whoooosh-!

Sid’s body was engulfed in black flames.

Along with that, his dark magic began to rise endlessly.

Grooooooo-!

A summoning circle formed in the air and demons began pouring out.

The terror of a high-level demon summoner was endlessly summoning terrifying demons.

Luna and Runia showed tense expressions upon seeing this.

“You absolutely cannot enter.”

Leo narrowed his eyes as he watched this scene.

“Strange.”

“What’s strange?”

“What you’re receiving now must be Erebos’s blessing.”

The magic power of demons who receive power from Erebos rises sharply.

Erebos’s very existence gives tremendous power to demons.

“Ho? You have good insight.”

Sid curled up the corners of his mouth.

“Then you must also know well how much stronger my power has become…”

“How much effect could a low-grade demon like you get from receiving a blessing?”

Leo spoke indifferently.

“What?”

Sid’s eyes filled with rage.

“What I’m curious about is why Erebos, who has enough power to bestow blessings, doesn’t directly deal with us himself?”

Leo curled up the corners of his mouth.

Watching such Leo, Sid’s face hardened slightly.

Just as Leo hated Erebos, Erebos would also hate Kail, now Leo, who had made him into that state.

The image of Erebos roaring while pouring out curses as he was divided into six pieces was still vivid in his eyes.

He could clearly feel Erebos’s presence beyond the door.

Yet despite Erebos being right in front of them, there was no reaction.

‘Even though I was reincarnated… Luna is also included among those he cursed.’

Such Luna was there.

Yet there was still no reaction.

“The thing inside there. Isn’t it just a shell?”

At Leo’s words, Sid’s face hardened completely.

“Looks like that’s the correct answer.”

Leo, who chuckled, unleashed his aura.

“It doesn’t matter. Just because you’ve seen through that fact doesn’t mean you can cross this door.”

Killing intent erupted from Sid’s body.

Whoooosh-!

Black flames blazed fiercely.

“You die here.”

Leo’s flames blazed even more fiercely.

Whoosh-!

The flames began to burn Leo’s body.

The Phoenix’s aura enhanced by the Hero’s Breath increased the fire’s intensity.

Crimson flames.

Though he hadn’t learned it formally, Leo had completed Jerdinger’s secret flame technique through self-study alone.

‘Crimson Flame. This isn’t enough.’

He gathered mana in his hand that wasn’t holding the sword.

Runia’s eyes widened greatly upon seeing Leo’s mana.

“Huh?”

Runia let out a bewildered exclamation.

Leo’s aura was very familiar to Runia.

It had to be.

Because it was the same Phoenix flame.

‘But… was his mana this similar too?’

The moment that question arose, Runia’s face was colored with shock.

‘No! That mana is…!’

Leo’s mana was similar to that of the Runda Family.

The mana formula weaving together with it.

Runia’s hands trembled.

It was magic she had shown Leo only once.

One of the Runda Family’s secret magic techniques.

The magic she had used in her duel with Leo.

‘Scorching Heat?’

Whoosh-!

Jerdinger’s Crimson Flame and Runda’s Scorching Heat fused together.

Whoooosh-!

Wings of flame were created.

Sid’s eyes bulged as he watched the blazing flames that looked like real Phoenix wings.

“How can a human wield Phoenix flames!”

“…Because I’m a Phoenix contractor.”

Leo, who had imbued his sword with flames, grinned wickedly.

“I did some research.”

Flash-!

The flames that blazed up in an instant burned everything before his eyes.

The purifying flames breathed by a Phoenix were a power of complete opposition to demonic beasts.

Sid’s body, swept up in that power, burned miserably.

“Kraaaaaaah!”

With a scream filled with agony, even the door disappeared without a trace.

For a moment, Leo saw the darkness of the abyss before his eyes.

Runia was overwhelmed by that darkness, but Leo didn’t even blink as he stepped into it.

Thud- Thud-

The inside of the audience hall was desolate.

In the midst of that, Leo raised his head.

Strength entered Leo’s hands.

The nemesis he had come to face after thousands of years had passed.

The calamity of black flames.

‘Erebos.’

Killing intent formed in Leo’s eyes.
