Chapter 1251

Craaaaaaash!

Lunan’s blade extended with fluid grace, and from the sword’s edge, two white hawks wreathed in shimmering cyan light erupted forth. The white hawks blazed with eyes burning crimson as if thirsting for blood, diving straight toward Martha and Burren.

Roooooar!

Martha raised her blade overhead, its surface thick with Titan’s Aura. Despite the freezing cold seeping into her skin from the chill Lunan had unleashed, she stood firm in place, waiting for the white hawk to close the distance.
He stood waiting for the white hawk to approach.

Shwaaaaaaack!

The moment the white hawk drew near, Martha brought her raised blade crashing down. The Titan’s Aura, infused with the power of the earth, mercilessly shredded the hawk’s wings, which carried the essence of bitter frost.

“Hah.”

Burren exhaled slowly, his blade held back over his shoulder. Enduring air so cold it froze his very breath, he thrust his sword forward the moment the white hawk approached.

Schiiiing!

From Burren’s blade tip, a wind so sharp it could tear space itself bloomed forth, cleaving the white hawk Lunan had launched clean in two.

“Pretty, I’ll give it that….”

Martha gazed at the shattered frost hawk and curled her lips into a smirk.

“Nothing special. Not even a paper doll, and pathetically weak.”

She stomped on the remains left by the frost hawk and let out a scoff.

“Let’s go.”

Burren exhaled shortly, his blade lowered.

“There’s still time.”

He nodded in agreement, saying it was time to return.

“No. And….”

Lunan shook her head firmly and raised her sword again.

“It’s not over yet.”

The moment she spoke those words, echoing Burren’s sentiment that it wasn’t finished.

Whoooosh!

The white hawk that had been subdued by Burren and Martha’s sword strikes melted into the Battlefield, freezing their shoes and legs in place.

“This… this is….”
“Lunan!”

Burren and Martha furrowed their brows deeply as they stared at the frigid cold that had encased their ankles in pure white ice.

“If you try to force your feet free, your ankles will snap off.”

Lunan calmly shook her head, telling them not to move.

“I’ll be back soon.”

Lunan turned away from Burren and Martha, determined to capture the Eden Ghost without missing this opportunity. She lowered her stance to accelerate with full power.

“Hgh….”

The Eden Executive wearing the forest rabbit helmet hastily pulled the hood down and rose onto his toes to flee from Lunan.

“Not this time.”

As Lunan steadied her breathing and prepared to push off the ground with her footwork.

Crack!

Martha ignored Lunan’s warning and forcibly shattered the ice, moving her feet.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

She moved without a hint of pain, positioning herself directly in Lunan’s path.

“Martha….”

Lunan’s jaw trembled slightly, caught off guard by her sudden action. She immediately lowered her gaze to examine Martha’s ankle.

“Are you actually worried about my ankle?”

Martha laughed softly, meeting Lunan’s eyes.

“Don’t worry. It’s fine.”

She tapped her ankle lightly, demonstrating it was uninjured.

“How is that possible…?”

Lunan’s brow furrowed slightly in confusion.

“Because I’ve been through it once before.”

Martha chuckled, brushing the frost clinging to her clothes away.

“After that humiliation at the Training Ground, I couldn’t let it happen again.”

She smiled wryly, explaining that she had learned how to block the cold in preparation for Lunan freezing her entire body.

“I’m the same.”

Burren also demonstrated his readiness against Lunan’s cold, shattering the ice around him and lifting his leg.

“Your fight with her had such a shocking outcome that I’ve been preparing with wind techniques.”

He crushed the ice fragments beneath his feet and stepped back in front of Lunan.

“….”

Lunan’s eyes flickered with surprise at the unexpected turn of events, her gaze alternating between Martha and Burren.

“I’ll admit you’re strong. I’m still not in a position to defeat you easily. But….”

Martha rolled her right shoulder like a back-alley thug and lifted her chin defiantly.

“If you don’t understand why you’ve become so powerful, you won’t be able to fully unleash that strength.”

Her eyes narrowed to threads as if she were reading Lunan’s very condition.

“I don’t think I deserve to be a vice-captain anymore.”

Burren shook his head, blaming himself despite the situation’s urgency.

“Lunan. I knew your condition wasn’t good, yet I believed time would heal it. I even thought I should grow stronger to help you. But I was wrong.”

He bit his lip as he gazed at Lunan’s darkened eyes and pallid complexion.

“I should have forced my way through and pulled you out. I’m sorry.”

Burren lowered the spine he’d held so rigidly straight.

“So I can’t let you go now. No—I won’t let you go!”

His eyes blazed with an intense crimson fire, absolute in his refusal to yield.

“I wanted to keep you from being hurt….”

Lunan exhaled a short breath.

“There’s no helping it then.”

She exhaled a plume of crystalline breath, signaling she would fight with true intent now.

“You always ramble so slowly—it frustrated me. But now’s perfect. Keep doing that from now on.”

Martha smiled with satisfaction.

“All that’s left is to fix that arrogant attitude of yours.”

She beckoned with her finger, inviting him forward.

“You won’t pass through here so easily.”

Burren straightened his bent waist and looked down at Lunan.

“I must stand in for Raon now.”

He shook his head calmly and raised his sword, wind blazing across its blade.

“For Raon’s sake.”

Lunan clenched her teeth fiercely as she lifted Seolhwa.

“For Raon’s sake, I must kill every last one of them!”

White light erupted from the blade of Seolhwa in her grip, and a colossal blizzard descended from the heavens above.

“You know you can’t do this alone, right? Support me.”

Martha gestured toward Burren. She smacked her lips, thinking it would be better to combine their strength.

“Hearing such words from your lips in succession today is rare indeed.”

Burren smiled faintly as he gazed into Martha’s desperate eyes.

“Very well. I’ll support you as you command today.”

He agreed to aid Martha, summoning a sharp wind that bolstered her from behind.

“You said for Raon’s sake. That fool doesn’t expect such things from us!”

Martha twisted her lips with welcome as the blizzard Lunan unleashed descended upon them.

“I’ll shatter your skull in Raon’s stead!”

She drew upon the Titan’s aura with all her might, engulfing her entire body in crimson light.

Whoooooosh!

Burren summoned noble winds, elevating Martha’s fierce aura to even greater heights.

Crackle, crackle, crackle!

The bitter frost storm unleashed by Lunan collided head-on with the earth’s wrath summoned by Martha and Burren, and the golden field where reeds had swayed dissolved without a trace.

Boom!

* * *

“Why….”

Lunan bit his lip as he watched Martha push back the frigid cold.

‘Why are you stopping me?’

I only want to kill the Eden Ghosts!

The Eden Ghosts had burned Budnew Village to ash and destroyed the village he loved.
They were pure evil that should never exist in this world. For Raon’s sake, for Zigheart’s sake. No, for everyone’s sake, they had to die.

‘That’s right. That village was definitely destroyed by those bastards… Wait. That village?’

Lunan furrowed his brow deeply as he parried Martha’s blade strike.

‘What village is that?’

The image of that village was surfacing in his mind, yet he couldn’t grasp what village it actually was.
Something vague was taking shape, but he couldn’t quite perceive what it was. It was a bizarre situation that made no sense even to himself.

‘Come to think of it….’

Lunan stepped back slightly and steadied his breathing.

‘Something’s wrong. Not the situation—me.’

Martha and Burren were right. The Eden Ghosts before him were blatantly luring him in.
Normally, he wouldn’t have been drawn in by such an obvious trap, but he had chased after them like a mouse drawn to cheese, never looking back. For anyone but Martha, such behavior would be completely out of character for him.

“What is this.”

Martha narrowed her eyes as she looked at Lunan.

“Have you come to your senses?”

She nodded, gesturing for him to lower his sword if he had regained control.

‘Martha….’

Lunan bit his lip as he saw the worry dwelling in Martha’s dark eyes.

‘That’s right. Until now, I wasn’t myself.’

Why am I like this?’

I pressed my temples, which throbbed with pain, and lifted my gaze.

‘Ever since I saw that creature’s eyes in Budnew Village… Ah!’

The moment I retraced my memories and recalled my first encounter with the Robed Figure in Budnew Village.

Whoooosh.

The Robed Figure shook a blood-soaked crown from within his robes as if he had been waiting for this moment.

Screeeech!

The instant I saw the blood-drenched crown, my heart plummeted. The thoughts I had been carefully organizing sank back into darkness, and only the murderous intent to kill that creature surged forth.

“Get out of the way!”

Lunan shouted for the first time, his feet moving with purpose. A terrifying killing intent bloomed unbidden as I wrapped it around my blade and unleashed a torrent of frost with all my strength.

Booooom!

Martha and Burren stood their ground without retreating an inch. Though they were being pushed back in raw power, they refused to yield in momentum, enduring the frigid blast to the very end.

“Move! That creature must die!”

It was the moment Lunan bit down so hard his gums bled, thrusting his blade toward Martha and Burren.

Crash!

From within the shattered shadows of frigid power, Eden Ghosts emerged and leveled cylindrical devices toward Martha and Burren.
As they pulled the triggers, hundreds of needles erupted from the cylinders, hurtling toward the two of them.

“Dodge!”
“What—what is this now?!”

Despite being fully committed to blocking Lunan’s assault, Martha and Burren swiftly retreated, evading the barrage of needles the Eden Ghosts unleashed.

Sizzle!

Where the needles struck instead of Martha and Burren, the
earth blackened as if rotting away, beginning to dissolve. It was a virulent poison—contact alone meant certain death.

“Could it be… wait! Lunan!”

The moment Martha swallowed hard at the sight of the dissolving ground, Lunan burst through the encirclement and surged forward.

“Wh—what?”

The Eden Ghost wearing the forest rabbit helmet tried to retreat from Lunan’s sudden charge, but an ice wall had already risen behind him, cutting off his escape.

“Not this time.”

Lunan sealed off the man’s escape route completely before unleashing Seolhwa.

Slash!

The man in the forest rabbit helmet could not evade Lunan’s blade this time, taking the full brunt of the strike.

Crack!

The forest rabbit helmet split in half, revealing the youthful face of a boy beneath.

“Gaaahhh!”

Blood sprayed crimson from his mouth as Lunan’s blade found the space between his shoulder and neck.

“L-Lunan… sister…?”

The boy called out her name with trembling hands, gently brushing away the moisture from her face.

“Huh…?”

Lunan shuddered violently across her entire body, as if awakening from a deep slumber, her eyes fixed upon the boy’s visage.

“You are…?”

It was then, as she released Seolhwa and contemplated memories of a boy who had never existed in reality, that the world shifted.

Whoooooosh!

Behind Lunan, a pitch-black magic circle materialized, and from within it emerged the one human she despised most in this world.

“At last, we meet!”

Siria Slion—the monster who had been slain by Raon, only to be resurrected, burning with an insatiable hunger for his bloodline—wore a pristine smile.

“My dear sister!”
