209

“Block them!”

“Don’t let the legion break through the defense line!”

The Hero’s Alliance screamed desperately as they tried to stop the legion’s advance.

Silatuna, who had won the battle against the Sword Saint, was slowly approaching.

The city wall that Sedjen had created was also reaching its limit due to the continuous attacks.

“It’s impossible to hold them off any longer! How about retreating to Seirun’s city wall?”

One of Seirun’s teachers said to Hallind.

At those words, Hallind looked at the Monster Queen slowly approaching.

“Then that thing will join forces with the unidentified legion commander inside Seirun.”

At those words, the Seirun teacher swallowed hard.

“Are you confident you can stop that?”

Hallind was right.

If the two legion commanders joined forces, that would truly be the end.

A dilemma.

The word ‘despair’ began to vividly assault the minds of the Hero’s Alliance.

Whoosh-! Thud-!

At that moment, someone revealed themselves from the sky.

“Who are you?”

One of Seirun’s heroes shouted at the gray-haired young man who had appeared before him.

At that shout, the young man, Leo, glanced at the elf.

“Reinforcements.”

“What?”

At that brief answer, the elf hero showed a bewildered expression.

That’s when it happened.

Zing-!

A massive magic circle was created above Silatuna’s head.

The magic circle, emitting a dark red light, unleashed a flash imbued with destructive power.

Flash-!

“Dodge!”

“Everyone fall back!”

Silatuna’s terrifying dark magic destroys everything.

Those who had witnessed the battle between the Monster Queen and the Sword Saint from afar knew all too well how powerful Silatuna’s attack was.

As the Hero’s Alliance retreated, Leo drew his sword.

Whooom-!

Gray aura gathered at the tip of Leo’s sword.

“What are you doing!”

“Get away!”

Seeing Leo trying to take Silatuna’s attack head-on, everyone showed expressions of shock.

‘He’s going to die!’

Everyone who witnessed Leo’s actions thought so.

As everyone froze, anticipating Leo would be incinerated without even leaving a corpse behind.

Flash-!

A gray sword strike cut Silatuna’s magic in half.

Kwaaaaang-!

It caused a massive explosion in mid-air and swept through the legion.

All members of the Hero’s Alliance looked at Leo’s back.

Whoooooosh-!

As the heavy rain continued to fall.

Leo opened his mouth.

“How long are you going to stay scared?”

A quiet voice.

But through his aura, that voice reached the ears of everyone in the Hero’s Alliance.

“You’re heroes, aren’t you.”

Leo turned around.

“Didn’t you earn the title of hero because you accomplished feats recognized by the gods?”

“Who exactly are you…?”

Sedjen asked in surprise.

That single sword strike from before.

‘A powerful sword strike that rivals the Headmaster… no, surpasses the Headmaster.’

“Who are you?”

At Sedjen’s question, Leo lowered his sword and said calmly.

“My name is Kail.”

Leo’s gaze turned forward.

“I am the one you call the Hero of the Beginning.”

“What?”

“The Hero of the Beginning?”

“That’s impossible…!”

A being who had long been treated as a non-existent fictional great hero.

A mysterious great hero whose existence had only recently been revealed.

The Hero’s Alliance couldn’t easily believe Leo’s claim that he was the Hero of the Beginning.

But Leo didn’t care.

Whether they believed in his existence or not.

That wasn’t important.

What was important now was defeating Silatuna before his eyes.

“If you’re heroes, then prove it.”

Leo said to the frozen heroes with cold eyes.

“If you’re heroes recognized by the gods, then show me your courage.”

The voice of the young man calling himself a great hero echoed in the heroes’ ears.

“The Monster Queen will be defeated here today.”

Leo raised his sword upward.

Flash-!

Kwaaaaang-!

Lightning struck down onto his sword.

“Lightning Storm.”

With Leo’s incantation, a storm of lightning raged.

Crackle-!

“He’s using magic of that level of power?”

“Wasn’t he a knight?”

The heroes were shocked by the magical power that far exceeded what any decent archmage could cast.

Ain clenched his fist.

“Could it be… really the Hero of the Beginning?”

According to legend, the Hero of the Beginning was all-class.

If that man was truly the Hero of the Beginning, it wouldn’t be strange for him to handle both powerful aura and magic simultaneously.

Silatuna’s legion was electrocuted by the lightning.

-Impossible. Impossible. Impossible!

Silatuna’s face hardened as she watched from a distance away from the city wall.

This couldn’t be happening.

Why was that bastard who disappeared 5000 years ago here now?

‘Jerdiak’s resurrection in this world was thanks to Lord Erebos’s power!’

Thanks to that, he escaped the Heroes’ World and crossed over to the present world.

Since Jerdiak had crossed over, theoretically there would be nothing strange about Kail crossing over to the present world as well.

But….

‘The gods vanished from the earthly realm long ago!’

There was no one who would lend the divine power needed to summon a great hero to the present world.

Then how could the Hero of the Beginning reveal himself in the present world!

Silatuna raised her massive arm.

Crackle—!

Dark red sparks flew.

Along with that, a spear made of powerful dark magic formed in her hand.

—Disappear! Ghost of the past!

With a roar filled with killing intent, the spear of destruction flew toward where Kail’s power could be felt.

Crash—!

A collision of power against power.

Gray aura and dark red magic intertwined as a pillar of light shot up into the sky.

Whoosh—!

The rain clouds in the surrounding area were blown away in an instant.

The rain stopped and sunlight that had been hidden behind the dark clouds poured down.

Coincidentally, Leo stood in the spot where that sunlight was pouring down.

Silatuna’s face trembled violently.

—Kail!

Watching Silatuna spit out his name as if chewing it, Leo gripped his sword properly.

“I’ve come to sever the evil connection that has continued from the past. Monster Queen.”

At the same time as those words, three summoning circles appeared around Leo.

“Summoning magic?”

“Wait! This power is…!”

The summoners’ eyes widened.

Crimson red, pure white, and life-filled light green.

The summoners knew all too well what this meant.

Three spirit beasts revealed themselves through the summoning circles.

A massive winged phoenix perched on Leo’s forearm.

A small fairy on Leo’s shoulder.

Finally, a beautiful pegasus carried Leo.

[Chirp?]

[Huh? Who are you?]

[Are you really our master?]

Fiora, Kirran, and Ati showed bewildered reactions after confirming their pact maker.

Leo spoke to the three of them.

“I’ll explain the details later. Right now we need to fight against that thing.”

The three spirit beasts’ gazes turned toward Silatuna.

[What? What’s that ugly monster?]

[It’s the Monster Queen.]

[Chirp! Chirp!]

Kirran made a disgusted expression and Ati’s eyes sharpened.

Finally, Fiora flapped her wings aggressively.

“I need your power.”

Leo’s current power was his past strength temporarily summoned through divine power.

He could fight against Silatuna sufficiently alone, but he didn’t have enough power to defeat her by himself.

‘It’s not my power from my prime.’

Moreover, the current Leo had a time limit.

To completely defeat Silatuna, he needed to join forces with Luna.

But Luna was currently away defeating Jerdiak.

‘No matter how much he was revived by Erebos’s power, he’s a body that died once. So he won’t be in perfect condition.’

Until then, Leo needed to use all his power to stop Silatuna.

“Fiora, Kirran. Grant your blessings to the heroes.”

At those words, Fiora and Kirran flapped their wings and flew toward the city wall.

“Ati, you and I will face that thing.”

Saying that, Leo pulled the reins.

[This feeling! Ah! You really are our master!]

Ati let out a cry of joy at Leo’s touch.

And flew toward Silatuna at tremendous speed.

[How are you in the present world!]

“Jerdiak came to the present world too, so is there a law saying we can’t cross over?”

[Kuk!]

Leo sneered at Silatuna’s cry and swung his sword.

Flash—! Crash—!

Leo’s massive gray aura tried to cut Silatuna’s neck.

But the barrier that had been created around Silatuna activated.

[I’ll kill you again!]

The mass of flesh on Silatuna’s body transformed into the shape of a giant snake.

Like a hydra, the snake head with its mouth wide open flew toward Leo to devour him.

Leo pulled the reins and shot up into the sky at high speed.

And began chanting a spell.

The strongest magic Luna had created.

Whooom—!

A complex magical formula appeared above Leo’s palm.

Leo, who had completed the magic, chanted the spell.

“Terminus.”

Flash—!

Cold dawn starlight swirled.

Along with that, the giant snake monster Silatuna had created crumbled to dust and scattered.

[Kuk!]

Silatuna’s eyes bulged.

Looking down at Silatuna, Leo spoke.

“Monster Queen.”

Leo spoke to the legion commander as if pronouncing judgment.

“Your time ends today.”

Shing—!

Leo gripped his sword properly.

“Like your comrade Jerdiak over there, I’ll bury you as a calamity of the past.”

***

Step— Step—

With light footsteps unsuited to the urgent situation, Luna walked through the middle of the battlefield.

Everyone’s eyes widened at the sight of Luna.

There was no one who didn’t know Luna’s appearance.

From textbooks, from literature.

They had encountered that beautiful appearance countless times.

Everyone’s admiration.

The hope who brought peace to this world.

The greatest elf in this world.

Luna was such an existence.

Jerdiak’s legion, having lost their reason, charged from all directions.

But Luna didn’t even spare them a glance as she summoned her magical power.

Flash-!

Hundreds of magic circles rose with a golden glow.

This was Luna, called the strongest mage in history.

Though she didn’t possess the power of her prime right now, she wasn’t someone that a legion that had lost its reason could stop.

Kwagagagak-!

Needles of light formed around Luna and poured down like rain.

Swaaaaa-!

Luna looked at the rain that soaked her hair.

It wasn’t the detestable black rain.

Clear, pure rain.

For Lumern and Seirun, this rain was like the arrival of disaster.

Silatuna’s existence that changed the climate by her very being.

But to Luna, this rain was incredibly welcome.

‘How many years has it been… since I’ve seen clear rain.’

The moment she thought that.

Flash-!

A pillar of light shot up from far away, blowing away the rain clouds.

Along with it, sunlight that had been hidden by the clouds poured down.

Luna looked up at the sky.

The clear, pure sky entered her large golden eyes.

Grip-

Luna’s hand holding Polium tightened.

‘We… really did save the world.’

She felt like tears might flow.

How much had she despaired?

Fighting against Erebos and Tartaros, she had comforted people saying there was hope.

But even while saying that, she had trembled with fear.

She had been broken countless times by the thought that they might not be able to save the world.

Though she had said she would die.

That she wouldn’t be able to see the peaceful world with her own eyes.

That’s why this sky was special to Luna.

It felt like she was being compensated for all the pain and despair up until now.

Thud-!

Luna stopped walking.

‘The time I can remain in this place isn’t much.’

She could feel her divine power diminishing the more she used her strength.

The permitted time was extremely short.

But she could do many things during that short time.

Luna looked at the old elf using star magic.

She was amazed to see an elf she’d never met before using star magic as if he had learned magic from her.

It was when she realized anew from that sight that this place was the future.

Crack-!

Jerdiak opened his mouth.

Along with it, poisonous breath spewed forth.

“Kuk!”

Benet squeezed out his magical power trying to block the attack.

Seeing this, Luna gripped Polium.

Flash-! Kwagagagagagagak-!

A barrier of light deflected the breath.

“…!”

The gazes of the heroes fighting against Jerdiak all focused on Luna at once.

And they opened their eyes wide.

“Do not despair.”

Luna smiled gently.

“I hope this light won’t be taken away again.”

Woong-!

Luna’s enormous magical power began to writhe.

Gugugugugugugu-!

The ground began to shake due to Luna’s magical power.

“Don’t repeat the same misfortune as us.”

A hexagram magic circle rose above Luna’s palm.

Benet’s hand trembled.

Called the Progenitor of the First Star, he knew what this magic was.

He had used this magic himself.

But… it couldn’t even compare to his own.

‘The original.’

Benet looked at the elf emanating golden magical power and called that name with a trembling voice.

“Lady Luna?”

As if responding to that call, Luna smiled brightly and completed her incantation.

“Star Light.”

Starlight poured from her hand and struck Jerdiak.

-Kiaaaaaaak!

Jerdiak’s body, having lost his reason, was torn apart as he writhed in pain.

‘He died once by Kail’s hand and came back to life. Jerdiak isn’t in perfect condition.’

Moreover, he had even lost his reason and had taken considerable damage from the heroes just now.

The Jerdiak reflected in Luna’s eyes wasn’t a legion commander.

Just a monster consumed by the instinct of destruction.

Jerdiak’s eyes flashed as he summoned his massive greatsword, Venom.

-Kuooooooo!

Thud thud thud thud!

He roared and charged toward Luna.

Benet urgently deployed magic.

“Chain Stella!”

Kwajijijijijing-!

Chains of light extending from the magic circle wrapped around Jerdiak’s body.

Kuwoong-!

Kugugugugugu!

Jerdiak’s muscles writhed as he was stopped by the chains of light.

“Beings of the past shouldn’t exist in the present world.”

Luna aimed Polium at Jerdiak.

“Because they only bring chaos.”

Woong-!

A massive magic circle was created.

“So disappear now.”

Flash!

“Stella Radius.”

Magic that left no name in history.

A flash of starlight that even Leo’s Bible couldn’t contain, something only Luna could use, burst forth from Polium.

Kwagagagagang-!

The flash of starlight that shot out with momentum that seemed like it would pierce the sky soon disappeared above into the heavens.

Jerdiak’s body, with its upper half blown away, began to collapse.

Saaaaaaa-!

It crumbled into powder like sand and disappeared.

The legion summoned by Jerdiak met the same fate.

Luna, who had lowered her staff, looked around her surroundings.

Students from Lumern and Seirun gathered around.

“Progenitor… sir?”

One elf asked with an expression of disbelief.

Luna didn’t answer that question and simply smiled.

“Progenitor!”

“Ah! Great Progenitor of the Starry Skies!”

The Seirun students knelt down and bowed their heads.

It wasn’t just the Seirun students.

Even among the Lumern students, there were those who showed the respect due to a great hero toward Luna.

“Lady Luna.”

Benet approached with a trembling voice.

Looking at Benet, Luna spoke.

“Sorry, but there’s no time.”

“Pardon?”

Woong-!

Luna used magic to open a Warp Gate.

“I have to go.”

“Where are you going?”

When Ellen asked urgently, Luna smiled as if it were obvious.

“To Kail.”
