754.

Hel Kaiser, the Commander-in-Chief, gazed upon the Land of Death.

The land he ruled was a place where ordinary living beings could not survive.

The most terrible Land of Death that existed on the earthly realm.

The land ruled by Hel Kaiser was still the Land of Death.

However, it was not a land filled with the morale of the dead and the resentment of the deceased as usual.

Now the Land of Death had become a place where living beings could not survive in a different sense.

The Overlord King gazed at the coldly frozen land with his dark red eyes flashing.

Crack-

As he moved his body, ice fragments fell off with a rustling sound.

The battle with the fragment of Erebos… no, the ancient evil god that seemed like it would never end.

The Overlord King who used the power of Erebos’s fragment failed to devour the forgotten ancient evil god again.

Of course, the ancient evil god had failed as well.

“My lord, Overlord King.”

Duke Atkan of Jangsong appeared beside Hel Kaiser.

Worry was cast over Atkan’s face, who usually did not show emotions.

“What on earth was that?”

It was an abnormal situation that even Atkan, who had existed since before the Age of Calamity, could not have imagined.

Ice that opposed the Calamity Flame that burns everything and never goes out.

Moreover, what had attacked the Overlord King was clearly a fragment of a god by anyone’s standards.

If the Overlord King had not been able to block that existence using Erebos’s fragment.

The Overlord King’s legion would have been unable to avoid destruction.

“Nix… a being that desires eternal immutability.”

“Nix?”

“Yes. It would be a name you cannot know. And it’s not just you.”

The Overlord King spoke as if it were nothing special.

“Even my perished brethren do not know of this existence.”

A being that even the legion commanders from 5000 years ago did not know.

It was an existence known only to the Overlord King, Erebos’s most trusted confidant and oldest legion commander.

“What is the identity of this being called Nix?”

“A forgotten ancient evil god.”

“Ancient… god?”

“Yes. In the distant past. One of the various evil gods that our lord devoured.”

Atkan showed a surprised expression at this story he was hearing for the first time.

The Overlord King curled up the corners of his mouth.

“Just as the great Calamity Flame dreamed of this world burning away without a trace. Nix also had an aspiration.”

“What was that aspiration?”

“An eternally immortal world.”

“…Their ideology is completely different from ours.”

“The big picture is the same.”

“What do you mean by the same…?”

“Because what Nix wanted was eternal immutability.”

Everything in the world is bound to change as long as it is subject to time.

However, Nix did not want that.

“Nix dreamed of a world where everything in the world would freeze and stop eternally.”

That was another form of destruction.

Atkan’s face, who heard Hel Kaiser’s words, was covered with disgust.

“It would be a worthless world where everything has died.”

“Yes.”

Hel Kaiser, the Overlord King, is a demon who rules over death.

His subordinate Atkan is the same.

However, they are merely beings who defy and insult the truth of death.

They are not death itself.

A world that has stopped eternally and become death itself.

For those who believe in the Calamity Flame that dreams of destruction where everything burns and not even ashes remain, there was nothing more disgusting than that.

It is not beautiful.

Duke Atkan of Jangsong truly thought so.

The big picture of wanting destruction is the same.

But the methods are polar opposites.

Atkan realized that for them, Nix, the ice of death, was a being they could never understand or walk the same path with.

“Isn’t it dangerous that such a being has been resurrected?”

Currently, Tartaros has lost its god.

In the midst of this, another ancient evil god has been resurrected.

His lord, the Overlord King, certainly has a fragment of god and can draw out that power.

However, it is still true that god is absent from Tartaros.

In contrast, Nix has been resurrected.

“Does Nix also have followers who follow him?”

“Yes. In the distant past. Followers who were imprisoned underground.”

The Overlord King spoke in a leisurely voice.

“…Will it be alright?”

If Nix gains the same military force as Tartaros.

Would Tartaros really be able to stop them?

Unlike themselves, since Nix has been resurrected, they would certainly become stronger as time passes.

“What are you worried about?”

“Pardon?”

“Aren’t there two others who are more urgent than us?”

Hel Kaiser smiled cunningly.

“The surviving Heroes and the foolish one.”

At those words, Atkan let out an exclamation.

“The reason our lord opposes Nix is merely a difference of opinion on whose method should be used to destroy the world.”

Of course, there was no intention of compromise.

“But to them, it’s all the same. They are in a position where they must prevent destruction.”

Hel Kaiser took a step.

As he returned to his castle, he said.

“Whoever wins will suffer great damage. Then we can have the advantage.”

Even if Nix were to be defeated, it didn’t matter.

Nix had awakened as a completely separate being, not a fragment of Erebos.

Rather than opposing them, it would be more beneficial for Tartaros if he caused great damage to the world and disappeared.

“This should be worth watching.”

Hel Kaiser laughed sinisterly.

Whatever the outcome, Nix, the ice of death, would taste hell.

‘They are well-versed in hunting evil gods and hunting demons.’

Thinking of the hateful Great Heroes, Hel Kaiser, the Overlord King, returned to his castle.

***

Deviange, where snow began to fall.

Due to the mediation of Lumern and Seirun, the civil war met a temporary ceasefire.

The Second Prince, who had falsely drawn Seirun in, lost his honor publicly.

Drawing external forces into a civil war was something that should be condemned in the first place.

Even if it was Seirun, who had no interest in interests whatsoever.

Of course, that didn’t mean the First Princess faction’s situation had improved.

The reason was simple.

Because she had annoyed Elena, the Queen of Lumern.

Elena was originally famous for being a troublemaker.

But she had committed rudeness toward Leo, who could be called Lumern’s representative.

The focal point of the human race is Lumern.

Since she had committed a diplomatic discourtesy to that Lumern representative.

There was no way they would look upon her favorably from the outside.

Especially since Leo had become praised within Deviange for not taking a single life of the Second Prince’s soldiers.

While their own royalty and nobles pushed them toward the battlefield, a young and famous hero from within protected them.

The citizens of Deviange had no choice but to cheer for Leo.

In such a capital Deang, the 1st Princess and 2nd Prince each established themselves with their trusted followers.

It was to prepare mediation plans for ending the civil war.

With the urgent fire extinguished in this way, Deviange gradually regained stability.

Currently, the most urgent problem in Deviange was none other than the cold wave.

And ironically, those suffering most from that cold wave were.

“Achoo!”

None other than the students of Lumern and Seirun.

Selia sneezed while in the hot spring.

For Selia, who was a perfect honor student meticulous in everything, this was an extremely rare sight.

That was natural since Selia had always managed her condition perfectly.

As someone who pursued being a perfect honor student, Selia’s creed was to never show even the slightest gap in front of others.

Such a Selia had not only sneezed but was also hugging her body and trembling violently.

That was, in a way, natural.

The hot spring Selia was currently in was cold water that had lost its warmth, like an ice sheet itself.

There was even ice floating around.

Originally it had been a hot spring that became an ice sheet, but she had broken through that hot spring and forcibly entered.

Bubble bubble bubble.

Then bubbles began rising from beside Selia.

Splash-

Along with that, the red-haired elf Runia revealed herself.

Even Runia seemed helpless in the cold ice water as she was shivering.

The two soon embraced each other to feel even a little warmth.

Watching that scene, Risinass, the very person who created this icy hell, smiled slightly.

“No. The purpose of this training is to not feel even a bit of warmth.”

At those words, Runia and Selia made tearful faces and separated.

The reason the two were suffering in ice water while a cold wave raged was extremely simple.

The two used the power of Phoenix.

And Risinass was the last covenant holder of the Phoenix King.

To make these two grow even further, Risinass had prepared special training.

Of course, the two weren’t the only ones receiving training.

All the Lumern and Seirun students who came this time were training subjects.

“By the way.”

Risinass, who had been watching the two fighting against the terrible cold, furrowed his brow and stared intently at Selia and Runia’s attire.

“Swimsuits.”

Risinass grumbled with a displeased expression.

“What kind of immodest clothing is this. Aren’t you embarrassed to stand in front of others wearing such clothes?”

At Risinass’s criticism, Selia and Runia looked flustered.

“Huh?”

“That kind of thought… I haven’t really had it much.”

“I can’t understand kids these days at all. Isn’t this too open? Is this okay?”

Watching Risinass cross his arms with a serious expression, Selia thought.

‘If he saw a bikini at the beach, he’d completely faint.’

Of course, even Selia was embarrassed to wear that swimsuit.

But depending on the culture, there were quite a few who wore them without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Runia recalled what Luna had said before.

‘Risinass? He’s a total old-fashioned guy. Old-fashioned. He tells me about elf etiquette this and that. Blah blah. Ugh. Anyone would think he’s the elf, not me!’

Remembering Luna who had been grinding her teeth, Runia shivered.

‘Sometimes Leo feels old-fashioned too, but…’

It seemed he couldn’t compare to Risinass.

Having such thoughts, Runia realized that Risinass was staring intently at them.

“Selia… It seems like he wants us to go in and come out one more time?”

“…Yeah.”

Runia and Selia had been repeatedly entering and exiting the ice water without using even a bit of mana since earlier.

And with the previous round, today’s training had all ended.

Training to make mana react more easily to even small flames, as much as they usually used powerful flames.

And it was training to strengthen mental power.

But apparently the King of Wisdom wasn’t satisfied.

The two closed their eyes tightly and dove back into the ice water.

Seeing that, Risinass was momentarily flustered.

‘No, why are they going in again?’

They could rest now, but the two girls were overflowing with enthusiasm.

Risinass didn’t know it was a misunderstanding caused by him staring intently at the two.

He was just distracted by other thoughts.

‘If that kind of attire isn’t a big problem… that means it’s okay to dress like that in front of Kail?’

Risinass fell into serious thought.

He had shown himself without a thread of clothing when he obtained a physical body before, but that was an accident to the end.

‘If I wear those clothes and go, would that fool’s gaze toward me change a little?’
