204

“Why aren’t you answering after calling me?”

Leo, who had been flustered, regained his composure at Luna’s words.

‘She’s recognizing me as Kail, isn’t she? Then this must be a possession-type world where the conqueror is recognized as one of the people who existed in the past?’

It seemed certain that he had possessed his past self.

Leo, who quickly finished assessing the situation, took a deep breath.

“Are you okay?”

Leo quickly acted as his past self.

If Leo’s memory wasn’t wrong, this was right in the middle of the battle with Jerdiak.

It wouldn’t be strange at all to ask such a question.

“Yeah. I’m fine. You protected me.”

Luna asked with a worried expression.

“What about you? You took a direct hit from Jerdiak’s attack just now.”

“I’m fine.”

‘Originally, I would have been battered by Jerdiak’s poison.’

But Leo had just entered the Heroes’ World.

“When did you develop such immunity to poison?”

Looking at the amazed Luna, Leo asked.

“More importantly, what about Jerdiak?”

At those words, Luna’s face hardened.

“That thing ran away.”

“What?”

Leo showed a surprised expression at Luna’s words.

‘That thing ran away?’

It was impossible.

Jerdiak was the one who spewed deadly poison to take Kail and Luna with him even until the moment of death.

That monster, more belligerent than even Silatuna, had fled?

‘Something is definitely strange.’

“Where did it go?”

“Over there.”

Leo looked in the direction Luna pointed and tried to pursue Jerdiak.

To conquer the Heroes’ World now, he had to defeat Jerdiak.

But Leo had no choice but to hesitate after checking Luna’s condition.

Luna’s hands were trembling faintly and cold sweat was flowing down her forehead.

“Luna, you… don’t tell me you faced that thing alone?”

At Leo’s question, Luna smiled with difficulty.

“Yeah, while you were unconscious for a moment…”

Suddenly Luna’s body swayed.

Leo hurriedly supported Luna.

The expedition force at this time was still in a period when they didn’t have enough power to defeat a legion commander alone.

In such a situation, it was natural for even Luna to take considerable damage after blocking Jerdiak single-handedly.

It was when Leo gritted his teeth.

“Kail…”

Luna opened her mouth with difficulty.

“While fighting Jerdiak… strange guys attacked.”

“What?”

“They were elves… they suddenly appeared and attacked me. Do you know anything about those guys?”

‘Elves?’

It was an absurd story.

At this time, there were no people around other than Kail and Luna.

But there were elves?

“They attacked you?”

“Yeah.”

Looking at Luna nodding with difficulty, Leo’s face hardened.

In fact, this Heroes’ World had more than one or two strange points.

‘The Hero Record I touched a few days ago activated now. And the point that the Heroes’ World starts right now when the battle with Jerdiak is in full swing. Lastly…’

Leo’s hand tightened.

‘The fact that Seirun students conquered this world.’

According to Nergzia, several Seirun students had already conquered this world.

But the final boss of this world was none other than a legion commander.

Moreover, Poison King Jerdiak, who was comparable to Hel Kaiser, Giant King, and Monster Queen.

It was a conquest difficulty that far exceeded the student level.

Yet there were those who had conquered it.

Tartaros was trying to erase the Hero Records of the Great Heroes.

They were preventing future heroes from inheriting the power of the Great Heroes.

‘What if the Seirun students who entered this world were traitors?’

The fact that the Jerdiak battle ended differently from actual history by fleeing instead of fighting to the end, and the existence of elves who suddenly appeared and attacked Luna.

If Seirun’s traitors had entered this world as conquerors, everything would be vaguely explained.

Leo’s hand tightened.

‘Then has that Overlord King been scheming all this time to destroy Luna’s Hero Record kept in Seirun?’

Swoooosh—

The detestable black rain continued to pour.

‘Anyway, recovering Luna is the priority now.’

“Let’s find a place to rest first.”

Leo, supporting Luna, stood up.

Looking at such Leo, Luna gritted her teeth.

“No, we need to quickly defeat Jerdiak…”

“If it fled, we’ll have time to reorganize for a moment.”

Leo spoke about the situation coldly.

“Defeating it won’t be too late after your stamina recovers.”

At those words, Luna looked up at Leo and smiled with difficulty.

“Then Leo… let me sleep for just a bit…”

Luna, who was poisoned and had extreme mana exhaustion, leaned against Leo’s body.

Looking at Luna who had fallen asleep peacefully, Leo looked around the ruined castle ruins.

‘I need to find a place to avoid the rain first.’

Rumble—!

Lightning echoed through the gloomy sky.

At that moment…

Crack—

The sky began to crack.

But Leo, supporting Luna, didn’t know this fact.

***

Roooooooar!

A Gigantes armed with armor was roaring and charging toward the city wall.

Whoooosh—!

Black dark magic spewed from the Gigantes’ body.

Seeing this, Ris urgently shouted.

“Riennia!”

At those words, Riennia, who was positioned at the highest point of the city wall, pulled back her bowstring.

Creeeeak—!

Riennia’s great bow screamed out.

Thwang-! Whoosh-!

A massive arrow imbued with aura flew at terrifying speed.

Crack crack crack-! Crunch!

“Graaaaahhhhh!”

The arrow pierced the Gigantes’ eye, burrowed straight through, broke through the skull at the back of its head, and embedded into the ground.

But despite having its head pierced through, the Gigantes with its terrifying vitality did not die.

Instead, it clutched its face and began thrashing about madly.

The Gigantes’ indiscriminate attacks, not distinguishing between enemy and ally, swept away the legion’s forces.

Taking advantage of that opening, Ris descended below the city wall.

And upon landing on the ground, he severed the Gigantes’ ankle.

Slash! Slice!

Wobble- Crash-!

Shriek!

Groaaaar!

The Gigantes fell.

From the impact, the monsters around it were crushed under the Gigantes, letting out death cries as they died instantly.

Ris cleanly severed the neck of the fallen Gigantes as it struggled, then quickly returned to the top of the city wall.

Knight classes with high mobility quickly intercepted attacks from Gigantes or Demons that threatened the city wall in this manner.

The defensive line created by Sedjen was firmly withstanding the legion’s assault.

The Monster Queen, watching from a distance, narrowed her eyes.

“The resistance is quite fierce.”

It was only natural.

There were countless heroes who claimed to bring about world transformation.

No matter how much the Monster Queen’s legion was filled with monsters capable of destroying a nation single-handedly, this was not a city wall that could be easily overcome.

It was when Silatuna, resting her chin on her hand, wore a bored expression.

Flash-!

Fragments of light poured down above Silatuna’s head.

When Silatuna glanced up, the pouring light fragments stopped right in front of her nose.

“Perfect timing, I was just getting bored.”

Silatuna lightly flicked her finger.

Boom-!

The light fragments caused a tremendous explosion.

From the impact, the head of the Gigantes that Silatuna was riding disappeared without leaving a trace.

However, Silatuna stood in midair, appearing to have taken no damage whatsoever.

Silatuna’s eyes narrowed.

“The Sword Saint and the First Star. The Mage of the Arcane Eye, the masters of Runda and Rwallin. And one lizard… Are those the companions you’ve chosen for your journey to the afterlife?”

“Not companions for the afterlife, but members who will see off your final moments.”

At Kalian’s words, Silatuna smiled coldly.

Watching such Silatuna, Kalian lowered his stance.

Whoosh-!

Kalian’s body disappeared.

Silatuna’s gaze turned to the left.

Kalian, who had appeared at her left side before anyone knew it, was swinging his sword.

Flash-! Clang-!

Kalian’s sword was caught in Silatuna’s hand.

“Is this a sword made by that damn dwarf? How unpleasant.”

The Monster Queen swung her remaining arm to strike Kalian’s head.

Thud-!

The moment Kalian’s head snapped back.

Crash crash crash crash crash crash crash-!

Thud! Rumble rumble-!

Kalian, sent flying by Silatuna’s attack, crashed directly into the city wall created by Sedjen.

From the impact, part of the city wall crumbled down.

Everyone who saw this wore expressions of shock.

“P-Principal!”

“Lord Kalian!”

The Lumern professors urgently called out Kalian’s name and rushed toward the collapsed city wall.

Thud- Thud thud thud-

“Ugh- To treat an old man so roughly.”

But Kalian emerged from the ruins looking perfectly fine.

Those around who saw this trembled.

‘To survive taking such an attack head-on!’

‘As expected of the Sword Saint…!’

Everyone looked at Kalian with eyes full of awe.

“If I were just ten years younger, I wouldn’t have been sent flying this far.”

Kalian, clicking his tongue with a sigh, pointed his sword toward the Monster Queen who was watching him.

Swish-!

Kalian swung his sword.

That simple act became a slash that cut through the world.

An invisible massive slash cut through everything in a straight line between Kalian and Silatuna.

Demons spilling blood as they died.

Silatuna, seeing the slash that had reached right before her, swung her arm.

Crack crack crack-!

Silatuna’s hand bent as if broken for an instant.

Clang-!

And soon after, as if unable to withstand the force, she was sent flying.

Terrifying attacks poured down upon her.

The Fairy’s magic using the Arcane Eye.

The Phoenix’s mighty flames.

Wind that split the heavens.

The attacks of the heroes selected by Sword Saint Kalian to face Silatuna painted the sky.

Seeing that overwhelming firepower, those fighting against the legion’s assault on the city wall gaped in amazement.

Crash crash crash crash crash crash-!

When the attacks from Albi, Ellen, and Chaid struck directly, the earth shook violently.

The entire area where Silatuna had been standing was completely devastated without a trace.

Silatuna, who had taken the attack directly, was frozen with her body leaning backward.

“Did it work…!”

It was when one Seirun Student clenched his fist.

“Kek!”

Laughter could be heard from Silatuna’s mouth as she leaned her head back.

“Kekekekek! Kehihihi. Aha! Ahahahahahahaha!”

Silatuna’s eyes flashed as she burst into mad laughter.

“That actually hurt quite a bit?!”

Silatuna raised her hand.

Whoooosh! Crackle crackle-!

A massive black sphere was generated above Silatuna’s hand.

Seeing that chilling dark magic power, the faces of those defending the city wall turned pale.

The few who had boldly shouted to subjugate Silatuna just moments before realized.

A few of those who had boldly shouted to subjugate Silatuna just moments before came to a realization.

How foolish and delusional their voices had been.

And they came to realize.

The terror of the Legion Commander who had existed since before the Age of Calamity.

“Die! You vermin!”

Silatuna’s dark magic flew toward the city wall.

At that moment.

“Terminus.”

Flash—!

KRAAAAAAASH—!

Along with golden starlight, Silatuna’s magic exploded and vanished on the spot.

Silatuna looked at the elf who had used the strongest spell of Star Magic, Seirun’s headmaster, and smiled wickedly.

“That’s the magic I hate most.”

“I don’t know what your scheme is.”

Then Riben spoke to Silatuna.

“No matter how powerful a Legion Commander you are, you cannot cross this place. That’s why you three Legion Commanders have remained silent until now, isn’t it?”

Silatuna glanced at Riben and curled up the corners of her mouth.

“What do you want to ask, lizard?”

“What’s your scheme?”

“Would it be an answer if I said I came to greet an old comrade?”

“An old… comrade?”

Just as Riben’s expression hardened at those words.

Silatuna looked up at the sky.

Seeing Silatuna like that, Riben also looked up at the sky.

And his face stiffened.

There were cracks in the sky.

‘What… what is that?’

At that moment.

Crack—!

A grotesque arm revealed itself from the cracked sky.

As if it had broken through a wall.

The monster’s protruding arm carefully returned to where it should originally be.

At that moment…

Grrrrrr—

Riben thought he could hear a low growling sound in his ears.

And through the pierced hole, a chilling giant purple eye could be seen.

Riben felt a shiver run through his entire body.

‘Could it be… a Tartaros Legion Commander?’
