758.

Crackle-

The ground was freezing over.

It started from Central Retin.

An ice column that rose from the ruined Palace of Purification.

The officials working at Letin’s Government Office sensed the abnormal situation and quickly evacuated.

Crackle-

As if targeting them.

The cold air rapidly swept over them, freezing the ground.

“Kyaaaah?!”

“H-hurry and run!”

It was literally like a tsunami of bitter cold.

The bitter cold tsunami soon began threatening the surrounding area beyond the government office.

Citizens passing by the government office screamed and fled.

Thud-

At that moment, a middle-aged man who was running stumbled and fell.

“D-Dad!”

The girl who had been running ahead screamed with a pale face.

“Don’t worry about me and run! Hurry!”

The middle-aged man shouted urgently.

The bitter cold tsunami that had approached was just about to engulf the middle-aged man.

“Dad!”

“You fool!”

The girl ran back crying and helped her father up.

The middle-aged man bit his lips tightly.

‘Too late!’

As he squeezed his eyes shut and embraced his daughter.

Whoooosh-! Boooom-!

Flames that flew from somewhere blew away the bitter cold tsunami.

Hissssss-!

The powerful heat and cold air met, creating thick steam.

The middle-aged man and his daughter cautiously opened their eyes.

Step step-

A girl with red hair approached through the steam.

“Are you alright?”

Runia extended her hand and helped the middle-aged man up.

“Th-thank you! Thank you so much!”

“We’re alive thanks to you, Elf! How can we ever repay this kindness…!”

Watching the father and daughter tearfully expressing their gratitude, Runia smiled gently.

“I only did what I had to do.”

At that gentle smile, the father and daughter felt their anxiety melt away like snow.

How beautiful and noble this girl was!

The daughter who was looking at Runia soon gasped!

“C-could you be Runia El Runda, the one who chases Astral Stream?”

“That’s right.”

As Runia nodded.

Whoooosh-!

The cold air that had been pushed back by Runia’s flames came rushing again.

“Please step back quickly.”

“Y-yes.”

The father and daughter ran toward where the people had fled.

While glancing back at Runia.

Runia was a hero beautiful enough to captivate people’s eyes.

Continuously looking back was almost instinctual.

Then.

A giant appeared before the father and daughter.

An expressionless face that seemed to feel no emotion and a rock-like body.

Most importantly, his impression was menacing.

The middle-aged man froze and the girl hiccupped involuntarily.

Woreden spread his palm.

Whoooosh-!

“You’re in the way, so disappear quickly.”

“S-sorry!”

The father and daughter hastily left the area.

Woreden, who had summoned a fire spirit, controlled the spirit to draw a magic formula.

And… Boooooom-!

A massive explosion erupted in front of Runia.

The bitter cold tsunami that had been approaching was pushed back once again.

But that wasn’t the end.

Whoooooosh-!

The swirling flames began to coil around Runia.

“Hup!”

Runia took a deep breath and raised both hands.

Runia’s red eyes were directed toward beyond the bitter cold tsunami.

Sparks flew from Runia’s red eyes for an instant.

The spirit flames that Woreden had released began to be absorbed into Runia’s flames.

‘Flame Wave!’

At that moment, Runia unleashed Star Magic.

A crimson wave of flames surged high and pierced through the bitter cold tsunami.

Whoosh-!

All the cold air was blown away.

Woreden felt his skin burning as he approached Runia.

The endlessly advancing bitter cold tsunami had vanished without a trace.

Whoosh-!

Runia, who had withdrawn her flames, glanced up at Woreden.

“Was it necessary to go that far?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Those father and daughter earlier. They would have escaped fine if left alone, so was there a need to scare them?”

“It was true that they were in the way. Also, they were sluggish because they were giving you their attention.”

Woreden continued in an emotionless voice.

“They probably forgot the situation because you reassured them too much.”

“Isn’t it better to gain courage than to be paralyzed by fear and unable to do anything? You seem to need to practice smiling more.”

Runia used one finger to lift the corner of her mouth to make a smile.

The great hero Luna, who reassured people with her gentle smile.

That image was like Runia’s ideal.

“I’m not good at putting on airs like you.”

“Huh? Putting on airs?”

Just as Runia was making a fierce expression.

Whooooooo-!

A terrible cold air rushed from where the bitter cold tsunami had disappeared.

Runia spread her palm to create flames, and Woreden also summoned spirits.

Thud- creak- thud- creak

The sound of footsteps could be heard.

Seeing the figure that revealed itself along with those sounds, Runia furrowed her brow.

“A woman?”

It was a woman with pale blue skin.

A beautiful face.

However, her blue eyes without whites were enough to give viewers an eerie feeling.

“Is she a demon?”

“It’s a demon I’ve never seen before.”

The demons of Tartaros are largely divided into four forms.

Monster type, undead type, giant type, human type.

Each has their own characteristics.

However, the demon with the characteristics before their eyes was a type the two had never seen before.

The demon that revealed herself put her hands together, then knelt down.

“Ahh… The great master of Styx, Nix, has been resurrected… By his grace, residents of Styx, arise!”

Creak-

The ground around the woman began to freeze.

Crack!

A hand burst through that frozen ground.

Seeing this, Runia muttered.

“This… is quite a bizarre sight.”

“Prepare yourself. They’re coming.”

Ice humans that broke through the ground roared and charged toward Runia and Woreden.

***

Similar situations were occurring frequently around the ice columns.

Crack-!

Lil used her battle hammer to smash the head of an ice human charging at her.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh-

Lil began spinning the battle hammer with her finger.

Soon, with the power of wind spirits added, the battle hammer began rotating at tremendous speed.

Lil’s feet, spinning the battle hammer, lifted slightly off the ground.

Then she brightened her eyes and thrust forward the hand rotating the battle hammer.

Whoooooooosh-!

At the same time, Lil with the battle hammer moved forward at tremendous speed.

Crash crash crash crash crash-!

Lil advanced while pulverizing all the ice humans before her.

Seeing this, Rea’s mouth fell open.

“Do, do all the Spirit Mages of Lumern fight like that?”

“How could that be? She’s the weird one.”

Elena shook her head vigorously.

“Anyway, she should use more human-like techniques so she won’t be called a monster.”

Lil had created many original techniques based on faithful spirit magic skills and excellent physical abilities.

The problem was that those original techniques all looked like extraordinary things that seemed beyond human.

Even now, the sight of her using the battle hammer as propulsion to pulverize ice humans looked bizarre enough.

Elena, who had been watching Lil for a moment, narrowed her eyes and looked at the woman summoning ice humans.

The woman with pale blue skin was praying with her hands together, kneeling like a devout believer.

From her mouth flowed endless praise for the being called Nix.

“You said your name was Rea?”

“Yes.”

“Could you go check how the battle situation is in other places?”

Currently, the group was divided into three teams.

Elena and Lil.

Chloe and Ruka.

Runia and Woreden.

Rea was assigned the messenger role of going between the three teams to assess and relay the situation.

It was Elena’s command.

Click- click-

Elena approached the praying woman.

“Lil. Cover me.”

Leaving those words, Elena curled up the corners of her mouth and pointed at the woman with her fingertip.

Swoosh- crash crash crash crash-!

With a light flick of her finger, a massive pillar of flames shot up from beneath the woman’s feet.

Kyaaaaaaah!

When the woman was attacked, the ice humans screamed and charged at Elena.

Lil began swinging her battle hammer to smash those ice humans.

Elena didn’t stop walking.

The flames cleared.

There, the woman could be seen praying in the same posture as before, unchanged.

Seeing this, Elena tilted her head.

“I wonder if she can stay calm through this too?”

Then with a brightly smiling face, she snapped her finger.

Crash crash crash crash-!

This time, lava erupted from the ground.

Dozens of lava snakes.

The lava opened its mouth wide like a living giant snake and charged toward the woman.

Splash! Freeze freeze freeze-!

Before the lava snake could reach the woman, the snake froze solid.

Seeing this, Elena nodded.

“Now I’m certain.”

“Did you discover something?”

“Yeah. But it’s not good news.”

Elena said while looking at the woman.

“That woman. She’s a Legion Commander-level demon.”

At those words, Lil’s face hardened.

***

Leo and Risinass quickly approached the ice column.

Meanwhile, Risinass summoned spirits.

A thousand lower-grade spirits were summoned simultaneously.

Even if they were lower-grade spirits, summoning a thousand spirits at once was something ordinary Spirit Mages couldn’t even attempt.

However, Risinass accomplished it without difficulty.

Even after summoning them, properly controlling them was even more difficult.

“Everyone.”

At Risinass’s words, the spirits of various attributes who had been chatting among themselves all stood at attention.

“Could you help evacuate the people?”

When he spoke with a gentle smile, the spirits all saluted in unison and began to scatter.

“It’s amazing every time I see it.”

“You can do it too, Kail.”

“Summoning multiple spirits simultaneously just doesn’t suit my constitution.”

It was when Risinass was giggling while watching Leo click his tongue.

Whooooooo-!

A snowstorm raged before their eyes.

Leo and Risinass stopped walking.

Crackle-crackle-crackle-

A massive ice gate began to form.

Grrrrrr- Thud-!

The ice gate opened and heavily armed knights began pouring out from within.

Knights with pale blue skin.

Leo’s eyes narrowed as he saw them.

‘Each and every one of them is a high-ranking demon.’

The one at the very front was a High-Ranking Demon comparable to Duke Atkan of Jangsong.

Clop- Clop-

The High-Ranking Demon mounted on an ice horse looked down at Leo and Risinass with cold eyes and spoke.

“Foolish mortals. You have been granted an audience with the great goddess who governs death! The second saint of Nix! The Knights of Ameriol’s Rest. Quickly kneel and pay homage…”

Slash-!

Before the High-Ranking Demon could finish speaking.

A flash of light flickered.

Thud-! Roll-roll-roll-

The demon’s severed head fell to the ground and rolled toward Leo.

Stomp-!

Leo stepped on the demon’s head.

“You… A mere mortal…!”

“What are you going on about when you’re not even at Legion Commander level?”

Leo applied pressure to the foot stepping on the head.

Crack-! Crunch-

Cracks began to form on the High-Ranking Demon’s head.

“You should be the ones kneeling and paying homage.”

Crack! Shatter-!

Finally, the demon’s head was smashed to pieces.

Seeing this, Leo let out a cold sneer.

“What stands before you are the Great Heroes who will put an end to you forever.”
