629.

 

Kuguuuuuuuu-!

 

The earth’s axis shook.

 

Joroa, her entire body clad in rock armor, charged toward Raina.

 

Whiriririk-!

 

Raina’s sword moved gracefully.

 

Hwaryureuk-!

 

Following the trajectory of the swung sword, flames embroidered the void.

 

The sparks scattered in the void without dispersing were compressed and settled into the blade in an instant.

 

The crimson burning blade of Flame Storm.

 

Raina’s sharp gaze turned toward Joroa who had reached right before her.

 

Sgak-! Jjeok-!

 

With a heavy sound, Raina’s sword failed to cut Joroa and was deflected.

 

Gritting her teeth, Raina used the recoil to rotate her body and deflect Joroa’s attack.

 

Kwagagagagagang-!

 

A tremendous shockwave resonated along the straight line where Joroa had charged.

 

Raina gritted her teeth at the tingling sensation traveling up her right hand holding the sword.

 

‘It’s broken.’

 

Her wrist had been damaged from the collision just now.

 

[Hey! Raina Flobe! This is really the limit now!]

 

Ista spoke urgently to Raina who was gritting her teeth.

 

Already, Raina’s body was covered with large and small wounds everywhere.

 

Many of her bones were also broken.

 

Literally, she was barely avoiding only fatal injuries and forcing herself to continue the fight.

 

She forced her unmoving body to move using flames.

 

But continuing the fight in such a manner had also reached an impossible point.

 

[When the body collapses, the mind collapses too! Soon my flames will devour you!]

 

Raina put strength into her hand.

 

[You’re amazing enough! More heroic than any Hero I’ve ever seen!]

 

Ista was desperate to somehow stop Raina.

 

[You’ve done enough!]

 

“No.”

 

Raina forcibly aimed her sword at Joroa.

 

“I can still fight more.”

 

She had already surpassed her limits several times.

 

Moreover, her opponent was already weakened from the battle with Leo.

 

Even so, the difference in power was clear.

 

There are certainly things in this world that cannot be achieved by will alone.

 

Joroa before her eyes was such an existence.

 

Raina could never defeat Joroa.

 

“I have something to pass on to future generations.”

 

But Raina did not give up.

 

“Flames bloom most brilliantly at their final moment.”

 

If she retreated here, the future generation who would follow in her footsteps would die.

 

Raina glanced at Selia.

 

“I haven’t passed on everything I have yet.”

 

At the very least, she had to pass on what she could.

 

With that thought, Raina burned her will.

 

“So lend me your power.”

 

[Ugh! Stubborn! Then do as you wish!]

 

Kwaaaaaa-!

 

The flames grew even stronger.

 

Firepower so intense that even Raina’s mind became dizzy for a moment.

 

In the pain of burning her entire body, Raina focused her mind even more.

 

‘Just a little! Just hold on a little more!’

 

“Damn persistent woman!”

 

Joroa’s murderous voice echoed.

 

If she could have maintained even a little composure, she might have ended the fight long ago based on the various abilities she had stolen.

 

But thanks to being thoroughly toyed with by Leo and struggling even against Raina, whom she was certain was weaker than herself, Joroa gradually lost her reason.

 

That’s why she chose the method of simply pushing forward with overwhelming force.

 

The difference in power was clear.

 

But Joroa, who prided herself on controlling her power, was merely being swept away by her own strength.

 

Joroa could not handle her abilities to the extreme.

 

It was the limitation of one who had stolen others’ power.

 

“This ends it!”

 

Kuguuuuuuuu-!

 

Joroa, wrapped in earth aura that was the opposite attribute to flames, charged toward Raina at tremendous speed.

 

Power imbued with such tremendous physical force that even a graze would leave no trace.

 

Raina took a deep breath.

 

The heat grew even more intense.

 

The pain burning her entire body and the intense heat that made her mind dizzy.

 

But Raina did not lose consciousness.

 

‘Focus.’

 

She concentrated the flames to a single point.

 

‘Follow her with your eyes.’

 

Raina’s red eyes captured Joroa.

 

‘Don’t retreat! Don’t be afraid!’

 

She steadied herself.

 

‘I can cut her. Forward… advance!’

 

Jeobeok- Sgak-!

 

Raina moved forward and swung her sword.

 

Puhwak-!

 

At that moment, Joroa’s body, which had reached right before Raina, was severed in two.

 

Thud- Hwak-!

 

Raina collapsed to the ground.

 

The flames that had wrapped around Raina disappeared.

 

Thud-

 

Raina’s body fell forward.

 

“Aunt!”

 

Selia ran over with a pale face.

 

Breathing faintly, Raina smiled with difficulty.

 

“I succeeded… in cutting her, it seems…”

 

“Yes.”

 

Selia gritted her teeth and nodded.

 

“Selia, that sword just now… you mustn’t forget it. Understood?”

 

“Of course.”

 

Suppressing the tears that felt like they would burst, Selia answered firmly.

 

Selia also knew well what Raina was trying to pass on to her.

 

“This woman… to the very end…”

 

Terrifying murderous intent erupted from Joroa’s body, who had been killed by Raina once more.

 

“But now this is truly the end! I’ll turn you into a bloody pulp!”

 

Joroa shouted in a sinister voice as she raised her hand.

 

The moment Selia saw this and raised her aura.

 

Flash-!

 

“…!”

 

Pure white light burst forth from behind Joroa.

 

“Huh?”

 

Raina’s eyes widened greatly.

 

“This can’t be! Leo Flobe!”

 

Joroa turned her head and let out a cry of shock.

 

There stood Leo, bathed in pure white light as if dawn was breaking.

 

“Leo!”

 

Selia’s face brightened.

 

“Aunt! It’s Leo! Finally Leo has…!”

 

Selia, who had been trying to support Raina, made a puzzled expression.

 

“Aunt?”

 

Raina was now staring at Leo’s figure with vacant eyes.

 

Leo’s figure bathed in brilliant light looked familiar.

 

Long ago.

 

It overlapped with the figure of someone who had been in the brilliant sunlight that came to the dark world.

 

Raina unconsciously repeated that name.

 

“Hero of the Beginning….”

 

***

 

Leo’s eyes stirred as he rushed toward where he sensed Joroa’s presence.

 

He could see monsters using supernatural abilities.

 

Chelsea, who had been facing an Ogre, spotted Leo and brightened up.

 

“Leo!”

 

“What is that thing?”

 

“I don’t know the details! But it’s using supernatural abilities! And it’s highly intelligent!”

 

“Really?”

 

He had a hunch about what it was.

 

‘Legion’s World.’

 

When you conquer Heroes’ World, you’re given power as a conquest reward.

 

Legion’s World would likely be the same.

 

‘Are these guys traitors who conquered Legion’s World?’

 

The conquest reward seemed to be the power of monsters.

 

‘It’s more like a curse than a reward. Well, it suits the fate of traitors.’

 

Having thought that far, Leo looked at Jamua.

 

“Do you need help?”

 

At those words, Jamua curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

“Do I look like I need it? Hyaaaah!”

 

Bang-!

 

Jamua charged at the Ogre and body-slammed it directly.

 

The Ogre, receiving tremendous impact, was sent flying.

 

“Chelsea!”

 

“Yes!”

 

“That’s right! You’re spirited! Truly befitting the Knight Academy!”

 

“I’m from the Magic Studies Department!”

 

“But you take Knight Academy classes too!”

 

“That’s because I’m a Battle Mage, so I take it as a minor!”

 

‘Nothing to worry about.’

 

Watching the two bicker while coordinating well, Leo turned his head to the other side.

 

There, Ris and Avad were overwhelming a Gigantes.

 

In the air, Ulta was slaughtering magical beasts.

 

The others’ morale also rose with Leo’s appearance.

 

Just Leo’s appearance changed the flow of the battlefield.

 

Eventually, Leo arrived where Joroa was and raised his aura.

 

‘She was revived by the Overlord King’s authority and newly awakened her abilities, right?’

 

What was newly awakened was the ability to replenish life with stolen supernatural powers.

 

‘Killing her multiple times is bothersome. In that case.’

 

Leo’s red eyes flashed.

 

‘I’ll destroy the authority itself.’

 

The Overlord King’s authority was power obtained through Erebos’s blessing.

 

The Overlord King, who obtained a fragment of Erebos, gained more powerful authority than 5,000 years ago.

 

But if that was authority derived from Erebos’s power….

 

‘I should be able to destroy it with the power of purity.’

 

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

 

The gray aura soon began to change into pure white light.

 

Along with it, bright light burst forth as if dawn had arrived.

 

Pure aura.

 

The power Leo had obtained through endless training in this life.

 

Leo looked at Raina, who was confronting Joroa.

 

‘She borrowed Ista’s power….’

 

Leo let out a bitter laugh.

 

‘How reckless.’

 

But if it was typical of Raina, then it was typical of Raina.

 

Raina sometimes had childlike aspects.

 

But….

 

‘She’s a respectable adult… and a respectable mother.’

 

Leo took a step forward.

 

Whoosh-!

 

Leo, who reached Joroa’s front in an instant, spoke.

 

“I told you, didn’t I?”

 

What was contained in Leo’s mouth was clear mockery.

 

“You’re just letting the power you stole rot away.”

 

Leo smiled coldly and slashed Joroa directly.

 

Slash-!

 

“Gaaah!”

 

Joroa’s body collapsed.

 

Leo lightly shook off his sword and sheathed it.

 

Step- Step-

 

Then he walked toward Raina without even glancing at Joroa.

 

“Just! I only died once!”

 

At that moment, Joroa rose from her spot, screaming desperately.

 

Before they knew it, Joroa had taken on Raina’s appearance.

 

But soon her flesh began to melt away.

 

“What?”

 

From within, Torua revealed himself.

 

“What is this…!”

 

Even when he changed into countless other forms, those forms soon melted away.

 

“This can’t be! I’m going to die!”

 

Joroa’s face turned pale as she understood the situation that had befallen her.

 

“N-no! I am perfect! I was meant to become a perfect being! I am a man who will become a god! But! To die so meaninglessly like this!”

 

Thud-!

 

“Aaaaah!”

 

Joroa, who had become a skeleton before anyone knew it, fell to her knees.

 

She frantically groped at her own face.

 

“I can’t die like this…”

 

Whoooosh-!

 

Joroa’s body, which had been denying her own death, soon crumbled to dust and disappeared.

 

***

 

Step- Step-

 

Raina, supported by Selia, silently watched Leo who had walked up to her.

 

“Are you alright?”

 

At Leo’s indifferent question, Raina smiled and nodded.

 

“Of course.”

 

“That’s a relief.”

 

At Leo’s dry response, Raina pouted her lips.

 

And said as if sulking.

 

“Aren’t you going to tell me not to do that again?”

 

“Would mother listen even if I told you not to?”

 

Watching Leo chuckle, Raina grumbled quietly.

 

“What an uncharming kid. Does he act like that with other kids too usually?”

 

“Pretty much.”

 

Selia smiled bitterly.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

-Ahem! Lie down here!

 

Kirran appeared in front of Raina.

 

-Leo told me! To heal auntie somehow!

 

Fairies can use powerful healing magic.

 

-Lady Raina. I’m called Elsi. Leo is very worried about Lady Raina. Do you need anything?

 

Chirp- Chirp-

 

Even Elsi and Fiora stuck close to Raina, showing worried reactions.

 

“…”

 

Raina let out a hollow laugh.

 

“That kid hasn’t changed since he was little?”

 

“In what way?”

 

“On the surface he’s indifferent and sharp-tongued.”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“But behind the scenes he takes really good care of people?”

 

“Ah.”

 

Selia nodded as if she understood.

 

Leo certainly had that side to him.

 

Raina looked at Leo standing far away with his back turned and clicked her tongue.

 

“I’m not saying this because he’s my son, but there must be a lot of girls who’ve fallen for that kid.”
