Chapter 1210

—And the Mad Woman?

Wrath’s eyes widened in alarm as he darted his gaze frantically around.

—W-where! Where is the Mad Woman!

He swallowed hard, preparing to flee at any moment.

—Huh?

Wrath scanned his surroundings but found no sign of anyone or anything resembling Evelyn, and his eyes blinked in confusion.

—There’s nothing! Absolutely nothing here!

He thrust his face forward, his nose wrinkling as he demanded why I had deceived him.

‘If she appeared as a person or animal here, she’d obviously be discovered.’

I waved my hand dismissively at Wrath.

—What nonsense! If she’s neither person nor animal, how could the Mad Woman possibly be here?

Wrath tilted his head, unable to comprehend.

‘She’s already here.’

I pointed to the grass swaying gently in the night breeze.

—Y-you don’t mean….

Wrath’s jaw trembled as he gazed at the wind shimmering through the verdant foliage.

—The Mad Woman is in this wind?

His voice rose in disbelief.

‘That’s right.’

I nodded with a faint smile.

‘I couldn’t disguise myself as a human, and possessing animals was being detected, so there was only one method left.’

I raised my finger and summoned a breeze that tickled my hair.

‘Nature.’

I curled my lips upward, green wind coiling around my long, delicate fingers.

‘Evelyn created a spell that embeds her soul within nature itself.’

Even though Evelyn’s animal possession spell—honed throughout her entire life—was detected,
she did not despair.
No, she was disappointed, but she did not stop there. Instead, she researched new magic and eventually reached the pinnacle of embedding her own soul within nature.

Though our paths of growth as a swordmaster and mage differed, I had always marveled at her effort and resolve.

-C-crazy….

Wrath grasped his head and bowed it low, as if seeing the wind that carried Evelyn’s laughter.

-She really is a mad woman! Such obsessive fanaticism!

He shrieked that Evelyn’s obsession was now something even Rust could not match.

‘But it’s still not perfect.’

I waved my hand with a smile.

‘Since nature is so vast,
there’s a risk that the soul itself could dissolve while being merged into it.’

Evelyn did not succeed in merging her soul into nature from the beginning.
She devised various methods and repeated countless failures before finally succeeding—the soul-opening spell she possesses now was born from that struggle. It was nothing short of magic created by her obsession, as Wrath said.
It was no different from magic created by her obsession, just as Wrath had said.

-How terrifying. It seems you’ll never escape that Mad Woman for the rest of your life.

Wrath’s fingertips trembled before he squeezed his eyes shut.

-But why wind? You have earth, and fire and cold that are familiar to you, don’t you?

He tilted his chin slightly, as if curious about that very question.

‘Apparently, only wind succeeded.’

I twirled my fingers in a circular motion.

‘Just as you said, I tried researching fire first—the element most familiar to me—and then frost, but they all failed. Only wind succeeded.’

I looked up at the sky and pointed to the wind shimmering with green light.

‘Only wind carrying the scent of the forest became possible. As if someone were helping me.’

Whenever I felt that green wind rising from the forest, I thought of that person, and a subtle smile crossed my face.

-Bah! It can’t be that guy anymore….

Even as Wrath said it wasn’t, he sighed without conviction.

-I really wish
he’d leave soon.
‘Right?’

I chuckled and nodded in agreement.

-Now go tell that Mad Woman about this place.

Wrath wagged his tail, satisfied that his curiosity had been fully answered.

‘Huh? I already did?’

I shrugged at Wrath.

-What, you did? When?

Wrath’s eyes widened as if he had no idea what I was talking about.

‘Like I said before, this magic isn’t perfect yet. The information I can convey is limited, and the duration is short. That’s why Evelyn only listened to the situation here and left immediately.’

I nodded, confirming that Evelyn had already departed.

‘She’ll use the information I gave her to find this place and research ways to breach the defenses.’

I laughed, saying I could trust Evelyn in matters like this.

-You foolish idiot!

Wrath shrieked and slashed his hand through the air.

-What nonsense are you spouting! That Mad Woman will never abandon you!

He shook his head frantically, as if asking whether I still didn’t understand Evelyn.

-She’s definitely watching you right now!

* * *

“Haaa….”

Evelyn exhaled hot breath with her eyes closed.

“Even like that, he’s so cool. He’s really something, Raon.”

She swayed her body left and right, her flushed cheeks cradled in her hands as if she were gazing upon something enchanting.

“Um.”

Burren approached Evelyn cautiously.

“It seems to be over now, so could you tell us something…?”

He licked his lips, asking her to share the information that Raon had investigated.

“I’m busy right now! It’s not over yet, so get out of the way!”

Evelyn shook her head with her eyes closed, saying the magic was still in progress.

“Ufufu! Look at those abs!”

Despite her words that the work wasn’t finished, she muttered something strange and let out an eerie laugh.

“The work isn’t finished, my foot!”
“Hmph….”

Martha and Lunan lifted their legs and kicked Evelyn’s back and buttocks.

“Aaah!”

Evelyn screamed at the sudden attack and tumbled forward.

“I’m in the middle of casting magic! What are you doing?!”

Evelyn sprang to her feet, her violet eyes wide open.

“It’s already done! Who did you think you were fooling?”
“You clearly said abs….”

Martha and Lunan wrinkled their noses, seeing right through Evelyn’s true intentions.

“Ugh, here we go again….”

Dorian, having witnessed this scene many times before, kept his mouth firmly shut and watched carefully.

“Tsk.”

Evelyn clicked her tongue, annoyed at being caught by Martha and Lunan.

“Anyway, setting us aside, there are others here too. Say something.”

Burren raised his hand and pointed behind him. At the tip of his finger stood Glen Zigheart, the Head of House of Zigheart, and Lectar, the master of the Holy Sword Association.

“There’s an earthquake happening right now, and thunder is striking from the sky!”

Burren trembled as he witnessed the eerie expressions on Lectar’s face, who was causing the earthquake, and Glen’s face, who was summoning the lightning. He cried out, unable to bear the pressure of their silent stares.

“Ah! That’s right!”

Evelyn’s furrowed expression brightened as she approached Glen and Lectar.

“Grandfathers! I’ve brought news of Raon!”

She smiled brightly, speaking of Raon’s story as if it were the news they had been waiting for so eagerly.

“Kehehehe!”
“At last we shall learn!”

Glen and Lectar had been waiting with bated breath for Raon’s news, yet their expressions remained composed as if it were nothing of consequence.

“First, that place called the Celestial Realm is a land sustained by human desires. Using divine power….”

Evelyn laid bare all the information about the Celestial Realm that she had heard from Raon.

“A life-and-death gamble of desires….”

Glen let out a hollow laugh as if he found it absurd.

“A method of wringing out human souls like rags. Truly, this bears the mark of Derus Robert.”

Lectar furrowed his brow, remarking that it was far uglier than he had imagined.

“That’s right. Most people in the Celestial Realm will likely find it difficult to survive long as their souls are consumed.”

Evelyn spoke of it as a perilous land, her smile turning cold.

“W-wait, doesn’t that mean Raon is in danger too?”

Dorian’s jaw trembled with concern for Raon.

“That’s not the case. Raon is no ordinary human.”

Evelyn waved her hand with a slight smile.

“Indeed. The magnitude of Raon’s soul far exceeds even my own.”

Lectar drew a faint smile, saying that my soul would likely be even larger than his own.

“Even if you poured out that entire Celestial Realm, it probably wouldn’t be able to contain your soul, so there’s no need to worry.”

Glen nodded calmly, as if agreeing with Lectar’s words.

“Then that’s a relief.”
“Phew….”

Martha and Lunan let out sighs of relief, reassured by Glen and Lectar’s certainty of my safety.

“S-so what preparations should we be making?”

Dorian swallowed hard, clearly worried about what needed to be done based on the information they now possessed.

“Well, naturally….”
“What are you asking! That’s….”
“From now on….”

Burren, Martha, and Lunan all opened their mouths simultaneously without hesitation.

“We have to destroy the Celestial Realm itself!”

* * *

As soon as dawn broke, I set out to find a tower comparable to my own height.

“Y-you’re starting from here?”

Charlie rolled his eyes, as if suggesting we could start from somewhere a bit lower.

“Hmm….”

I stroked my chin while crossing my arms, as if considering Charlie’s words.

“F-finally you’re listening to me!

Charlie clapped his hands loudly, believing that I was respecting his opinion.

“Excellent! I, Charlie, shall devote my full efforts to supporting Jilpen’s Tower so it may reach the heavens….”

He was nodding with a bright smile when it happened.

Whoooosh.

Raon approached the Tower and lifted his leg.

“W-wait, Jilpen? What are you doing right now….”

Charlie instinctively sensed something ominous and blinked rapidly.

“Provocation.”

Raon twisted his lips into a smirk and kicked the Tower with his raised leg.

BOOM!

The Tower, brimming with the desires of the Demon Lords, shook as though its roots were being torn from the earth, and a terrifying tremor erupted across the ground.

“C-crazy…. This guy is absolutely insane!”

Charlie’s jaw dropped—he had never imagined Raon would provoke so openly.

“Aaaahhhhh!”
“W-what’s happening!”
“An earthquake! There’s an earthquake in the Celestial Realm!”
“Run away from here!”

People around the Tower began screaming and scattering in all directions.

“Nooo! My Tower!”

But one man did not flee despite the earth twisting violently beneath him—instead, he rushed inward and grabbed the swaying Tower.

“You! It was you! You’re the one trying to destroy my Tower!”

The Tower’s owner realized Raon was the cause of this calamity and ground his teeth so hard they creaked.

“That’s right. It’s me.”

I walked forward with my hand on my waist and stood before the Tower Master.

“Let’s stake this tower and fight to the death.”

I spoke of fighting not with some half-hearted desire, but with my tower—everything I possessed—on the line, curling my lips into a smile.

“A, a death match with the tower at stake? You absolute madman!”

The Tower Master furrowed his brow as if the proposal made no sense.

“If you defeat me, twice the desire stacked on my tower will accumulate on yours. Then….”

I raised my hand slightly above the wavering tower before me.

“It should reach about that height.”

I pointed to a tower three times taller than the Tower Master’s tower standing right before me and grinned.

“H, how could you possibly….”

The Tower Master was drawn to my proposal, but he pressed his lips firmly together, unable to trust it.

“Strude Priest will guarantee it. After all, this proposal came from his mouth.”

I waved my hand dismissively, telling him to ask Strude Priest if he didn’t believe me.

“Y, yes, it’s true. Strude Priest told Jilpen yesterday.”

Charlie swallowed hard, confirming that he had heard those words himself.

“T, twice, you say?”
“Then isn’t it worth doing? If you win, your tower doubles!”
“Exactly. Even if the risk is high, the reward is too great!”
“I, I want to do it!”
“You have to do this! If you don’t, you’re a fool with no reason to be in this Celestial Realm!”

The people who had fled returned and gathered around, each throwing in their words. All of them fixed piercing gazes on the Tower Master as if he had no choice but to accept.

“Hmm….”

The Tower Master still seemed hesitant even at the mention of doubling,
moistening his parched lips with his forked tongue.

“You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.”

I smiled faintly and waved my hand at the Tower Master.

“There will be plenty of Tower Masters willing to fight me.”

Thanks to Strude Priest, I had gained an initiative that should never have existed in the first place. With only the reward of the Tower doubling in size, I could dominate this Celestial Realm’s situation.

“Say it yourself. Will you seize this opportunity, or….”

I tilted my chin arrogantly, watching the trembling Tower Master.

“Will you live as a coward for the rest of your life?”
