816.

Whoooosh-

Nix gritted her teeth at the flames engulfing her from behind.

‘To cross over parallel worlds!’

She couldn’t have even imagined that such a result would occur.

Moreover, the power of Erebos that had crossed the barriers of parallel worlds was in a state far surpassing Nix.

Kugagagagagang-!

In an instant, a pillar of black flames struck down in front of Nix.

Seeing Erebos emerge through the black flames, Nix furrowed her brow.

“You got ahead of me. But what’s this? Taking on such a human appearance?”

At Nix’s words, Erebos spoke calmly.

“It’s the appearance of the Hero of the Beginning.”

“Have you now fallen to the level of mimicking human forms?”

“In any world line, you are truly consistent.”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Erebos’s mouth.

“It seems you’ve devoured me once again in that world line. But… how did you cross over to this world?”

Nix’s eyes narrowed.

Opening a path to parallel worlds.

That was her authority.

But even if a path was opened, crossing over was a matter of another dimension.

“I interpreted your power in my own way. And I discovered new possibilities.”

“You, a being that brings destruction, pursued possibilities? How ridiculous.”

“Yes. But thanks to that, I transcended my limits.”

Erebos smiled eerily.

Seeing that smile, Nix felt goosebumps rise all over her body.

“There’s nothing you can do in this era.”

Erebos pointed his sword at Nix.

“A loser should disappear into the back alleys of history like a loser.”

“Who exactly are you calling a loser…”

Crack-!

“…!”

Nix’s face hardened at the sword that pierced through her chest in an instant.

“Pathetic.”

Boredom settled on Erebos’s face as he thrust his sword into the void.

Erebos’s sword had torn through space and appeared behind Nix to stab her.

“To think you couldn’t even block such a low-level attack.”

The being before his eyes was an evil god who had been his equal.

Compared to the Great Heroes who were his nemeses, she was far too weak.

Except for being born with the immense power of an evil god, she was an infinitely insignificant existence.

As Erebos slowly approached Nix, her face gradually filled with terror.

‘I don’t want to go back.’

The moment Erebos raised his sword.

Zzzzzzzt-

Nix exhaled cold air.

When Erebos pushed away the cold air with flames, Nix had already vanished without a trace.

“Disgraceful.”

Erebos shook his head.

The place Nix headed to was where Styx, the demons who followed her, were located.

“You’re going to sacrifice Styx to try to escape from me?”

It was a meaningless struggle.

Nix couldn’t escape from him anyway.

If she had faced annihilation with dignity instead, she would have at least maintained her authority as an evil god.

Whoosh-

Erebos, who disappeared into the black flames, pursued Nix.

***

In the middle of the battlefield.

The advancing legions of Styx were being blocked by knight orders and mage corps led by Deviange’s heroes.

And the spirits summoned by Risinass stood in their way.

In the middle of that battlefield, the Black-haired Girl was raising her sword.

“Selia! You can’t go in too deep!”

Avad shouted urgently from the rear.

Though it was called the rear, given the scale of the battlefield, it was no different from the middle.

He was simply positioned in a place where enemy attacks relatively couldn’t reach.

Though not as much as Chelsea, Avad was a versatile mage with some insight into close combat, so he had pushed himself a bit to come forward.

And the reason was to maximize his coordination with Selia, who formed a combo with him.

“Ugh! We need one big hit to maintain the front line right now! I’ll somehow hold on, so prepare your magic!”

“Ugh!”

Anxiety was evident on both Selia and Avad’s faces.

The fighting on this battlefield wasn’t ordinary soldier versus soldier combat.

It was a situation of facing the transcendent monsters that were Styx’s demons and the ancient humans who followed them.

No matter how armed with excellent talent and effort, and equipped with experience through various Heroes’ Worlds, it wasn’t an easy battlefield for knights and mages.

They were intimidated and filled with fear by the killing intent the enemies emitted.

Just moments ago, even the city walls in the rear had collapsed.

No matter how many spirits Risinass had summoned, the enemy’s forces still held the advantage.

Because of this, Selia and Avad were overexerting themselves.

Then.

“Selia! Avad! Are you safe?!”

An urgent voice calling the two could be heard from the void.

Whiiiiiing! Kwagagagagagang-!

Something with tremendous physical force fell into the middle of the enemies.

Sand dust scattered.

Soon, breaking through the sand dust, Lil stood before Selia holding a massive battle hammer.

“You’re safe! You two have worked hard!”

“Senior Lil! Behind! Behind you!”

When Selia shouted urgently, Lil swung her battle hammer backward as she was.

Crack!

“Keeek?!”

The ancient human who had been targeting Lil’s back collapsed with his face caved in.

“I’ll take the front, so Selia and Avad please prepare area attacks!”

Leaving those words, Lil leaped into the battlefield like a wild beast.

“The more I see Senior Lil, the more amazing she is.”

Selia stuck out her tongue.

“Selia, let’s prepare.”

“Got it.”

As Avad prepared his magic, Selia also began generating a flame aura.

The fusion of fire and wind.

It was when the two were preparing their special large-scale attack.

Whoosh-!

Someone revealed themselves in the middle of the battlefield.

In that instant, Selia’s eyes met with that being.

That overwhelming presence made time seem to stop for a moment.

And at the same time….

Whoooosh-!

Crash-!

Black flames swept across the middle of the battlefield.

“Urgh?!”

Selia hurriedly blocked Avad’s front.

“Selia?!”

Selia, who barely managed to defend against the black flames with her flame aura, unknowingly collapsed with a thud.

“Kail…. sir?”

And seeing the one who revealed himself along with the black flames, Selia made a shocked expression.

The battle reached a momentary lull.

Many of those standing on the battlefield began to murmur as they recognized Kail’s presence.

“The Hero of the Beginning?”

“Could it be….”

“D-did he appear to save us?”

Until now, the Great Heroes had miraculously appeared during every crisis situation.

The moment they thought such a miracle had happened again.

Selia felt Erebos, in Kail’s form, curl up the corners of his mouth.

Seeing that, Selia urgently shouted.

“Everyone get away!”

Crash-!

Whoooosh-!

Black flames swirled around Kail as the center.

“Did you think these could serve as shields? Nix?”

Erebos sneered as he pursued Nix who had hidden in the middle of the battlefield.

Just the act of Erebos chasing Nix threatened the lives of those around them.

Then.

Avad’s eyes widened as if they would tear.

“Selia!”

Selia blocked Avad’s front.

With the Calamity Flame at her back, Selia looked down at Avad and smiled with difficulty.

“Avad…. Fall back!”

“You have no reason to protect me!”

“I don’t…. But…. Protecting mages is one of a knight’s duties. I’m not particularly doing this to protect you.”

Selia gritted her teeth.

“I’m just fulfilling my duty.”

“I don’t need it! I’ll protect you…!”

“Avad! Right now we need to preserve our strength with even one person surviving! In this kind of battlefield, you’re more…!”

“Shut up!”

Avad yelled at Selia.

“Do you think I’d sacrifice someone I like?!”

“What?”

For a moment, Selia’s face went blank.

At that moment.

“Are you filming a romance on the battlefield? These brats are so cheeky.”

A somehow annoying voice was heard.

Along with that.

Swoosh-!

Someone wrapped Selia protectively in a cloak.

Bang-!

Crash-!

The black flames gathered in one place, then shot up to the sky and exploded.

Selia looked up at the man who saved her.

And muttered blankly.

“Kail… sir?”

When Selia muttered blankly.

“Huk?!”

Kail’s hand touched Selia’s back.

In tremendous agony, Selia unknowingly exhaled and gripped Kail’s clothes.

Wooong-!

Kail used healing magic.

Using Innocent, he blew away the Calamity Flame that had burned Selia’s back.

Selia’s face, who had been biting her lips tightly and enduring the pain while clinging to Kail’s body, gradually became more comfortable.

When the burn treatment was somewhat finished, Kail took off his cloak and wrapped it around Selia.

“Wear this.”

As the pain subsided, Selia urgently said.

“M-me? It looks like protective gear, but what about you, Kail sir?”

“I don’t need it. Your clothes are all burned anyway. It would be embarrassing to leave you like this.”

Having said that, Selia blankly looked up at Kail.

Kail, who stepped back one step, said to Avad.

“Hey, mage kid.”

“Yes.”

“It’s natural to risk your life protecting someone you like. But there are times when you can’t protect them even if you risk your life. Dying together at such times is what idiots do.”

“….”

Avad clenched his fists.

“Survive and get stronger. Revenge comes after that.”

“…Yes.”

“Well, it would be better if you became strong enough to protect the woman you like before that happens.”

Avad looked at Kail.

“It’s that kind of world, isn’t it?”

Having said that, Kail smiled.

“I suffered like hell…. But seeing guys like you makes me think I did well to save this world.”

Avad clenched his fists tightly.

Those words cut deep to the bone.

Selia also gripped Kail’s cloak tightly.

“Kail sir too…. You were able to defeat Erebos for Luna sir’s sake.”

“It wasn’t just for Luna. Well, in a way, I suppose that’s how it was.”

“As expected…. The power of love must be great. To be able to work so hard for your lover….”

“What nonsense are you talking?”

When Kail made an incredulous expression, Selia said.

“You and Luna sir were lovers.”

“No, we weren’t?”

“Huh?”

“I don’t know who spread such rumors, but don’t go around spreading such words carelessly.”

Leaving those words, Kail approached Erebos.

Watching his retreating figure, Selia muttered blankly.

“How can this be? Luna sir definitely loved Kail sir….”

“Let’s not think too deeply about it. By the way, Selia.”

“Hm?”

“Forget it.”

“Hm?”

Selia narrowed her eyes and smiled mischievously.

“Really? Should I forget? When the great Avad Rwallin likes me?”

“Sigh.”

As Avad covered his face with his hands and let out a small sigh, Selia giggled.

“Since it’s cowardly to only confirm your feelings, let me reveal mine. I don’t dislike you either.”

“So, does that mean you two are dating?”

“Kyaaaaaaah?!”

At Lil’s voice heard from behind, Selia screamed in shock.

***

The flames unleashed by Erebos completely burned all the enemies in the vicinity.

Everyone looked at Erebos with eyes filled with fear.

When no one dared to block his path.

Thud- Thud-

Someone blocked Erebos’s path.

Erebos’s eyes twitched as he saw someone with the exact same appearance as himself.

“You are…”

“This feels really disgusting.”

Kail smiled coldly.

“The bastard I tore to shreds and sealed just moments ago is strutting around right before my eyes.”

At those words, Erebos pointed his sword at Kail.

Kail also pointed his sword in the exact same stance.

“This time, I won’t seal you but completely annihilate you.”

“This time, you will be the one to fall.”

As soon as the words of the Hero of the Beginning and the Calamity Flame ended.

Boom-!

Sword clashed against sword.
