[So you were there. That’s fortunate......]
“Huh? Whoaah?”
[Ugh, I thought I’d have a little more ti, but any more is.....]
“Huuuh!?”
[Yu IlHan, soon, my]
And the voice disconnected there. Yu IlHan stood there in confusion and tapped his cheeks. Mystic asked.
[What are you doing, master?]
“So you couldn’t hear that.”
[I did, it was definitely the voice of that angel that was with you before.]
If he heard it alone, he might have treated it as his own illusion due to his longing, but it seed like even Orochi heard that.
[There was another angel?]
“Well, yes. There was.”
There was no doubt about it. The calm and cold voice definitely belonged to Erta. He couldn’t forget that voice. The hearty...... actually, not so hearty, but still good – ally had been with him from the beginning of the Great Cataclysm until just a few years ago!
The problem was how her voice could be transmitted to the Yu IlHan who was inside the barrier made by the Hourglass of Eternity.
“A recorded file?”
[It was live.]
Orochi imdiately retorted to Yu IlHan’s words. However, he only pouted and replied.
“But unless she’s inside the barrier, that is impossible. The ti inside the Hourglass of Eternity cannot be recognized outside the barrier. No, actually, there is a trace that Erta left within the Hourglass of Eternity, did she use that?”
[Nothing would co out of asking .]
Yu IlHan thought about that, but nothing ca out of it. He did not know the reason she could transmit her voice to him, nor did he know the reason she did so, but once the barrier dispels and he went outside, he would probably find out.
“Good, let’s finish it off quick and find out what’s happening outside.”
[So everything ends in work?]
In any case, he felt a little better after hearing Erta’s voice. He shouldn’t judge from the voice alone, but it seed that she was still doing well. Moreover, since she sought Yu IlHan out first, he would be able to et her sooner or later. Thinking about that, he subconsciously smiled.
[So, what was that just now?]
Mystic was full of questions, but no one answered her. Yu IlHan only took out new 4th class magic stones. Tens of them.
“Good, I should add so functionalities while I’m at it.”
[Master has it good, enjoying such a life. A certain soone died imdiately after birth.]
“To set an alarm function on the entirety of the formation......”
Ti would flow rapidly when Yu IlHan was absorbed in sothing. One hundred 4th class magic stones disappeared, one thousand more disappeared, and ten thousand more disappeared. In that ti, the magic formation was being changed from the very foundation.
“It’ll beco a ss once the barrier opens.”
“Yeah, they would imdiately realize at that mont. They wouldn’t be able to do anything, though. The ancient elves were quite capable.”
“And you’re even better?”
“Of course.”
Replied Yu IlHan while feeling the presence of Liera behind his back. Of course, one of his hands was still on the ground and the other was pulling out the mana out of the magic stone.
“And the battle training?”
“I finished it for now and let them rest. But why are they so good? Especially the elves. They had trendously high skills for their level.”
“It’s because they struggled to survive amidst dragons until now...... But finished? Why did you finish it?”
Liera gave a smack on the back of Yu IlHan’s head since he never turned around even though she was here, before speaking.
“There’s only a day left before the barrier dissipates. They can only go against higher existences if they recover their full conditions!”
“It’s already that ti?”
“You really are sothing. You were like that this entire ti?”
“I didn’t even feel the flow of ti honestly......”
Yu IlHan finally realized that he was in contact with the magic formation for quite a long ti. He checked on the magic formation for now, and it seed that he would be able to finish within the allocated ti.
“Okay, then you go rest too, Liera. I’ll finish this off.”
“......Shouldn’t you be saying that you want to rest with ?”
“I’m sorry about that.”
Of course, as long as Yu IlHan had work remaining, Liera had to give up on the short romantic night before the battle. It was her own fault for falling for him despite knowing that. However, she was also past the point of no return, since she thought that that his such figure was still cool.
“I’m going to rest. You shall regret missing this opportunity.”
“Oh wait, Liera, Erta gave a ssage over the barrier, is that possible?”
“Erta did?”
Yu IlHan didn’t even let Liera put up her pride as a woman and changed topics. However, as his new topic was very unexpected Liera still obediently participated in it.
“Earth had already lost its connection to Heaven. But now that you’ve activated the Hourglass of Eternity here in Dareu, perhaps that was transmitted to Erta. If there is an artifact that activates the mont the Hourglass of Eternity does, then it’s not actually impossible........But.”
“Hm?”
Liera’s voice whispered into Yu IlHan’s ears.
“Did Erta say sothing to you? Be honest with .”
“Not much. She only said it’s fortunate or whatnot. Perhaps there’s a limit to the ssage, but it was soon disconnected.”
“Fortunate, fortunate, she said. Ufu, it won’t be so ‘fortunate’ soon.”
Liera’s face had a dark smile as if she was drawing a foreshadow. It was a smirk that did not fit her usual bright self!
“Fufu, it’s quite exciting to imagine Erta’s crying face.”
“Don’t bully her.”
“You’ll probably bully her the most though.”
“Why would I bully her?”
“Sothing like that. You’ll probably be in the dark for all of eternity.”
“I cannot understand what you’re saying.”
To the dense Yu IlHan, realizing the truth from that much clue was impossible. Liera did not speak anymore and went away.
Perhaps she was still not used to her lower existence body, and she had to rest after the two weeks of unending battle. In fact, even if Yu IlHan assaulted her first, she would have to refuse. Of course, not that this made Yu IlHan not bad......
“IlHan.”
“Yeah?”
Yu IlHan finally raised his head to see Liera. She approached him and kissed his lips like a bird pecking on food. He widened his eyes, but loosened them soon after.
“I feel energized now.”
“That’s good.”
Although it was not the passionate romance that she wanted, this was probably good in itself – as Liera beca happier with Yu IlHan’s smile, she decided to let him go for today.
Yu IlHan returned to work, and Liera went into the Flying fortress to let her tired body rest. And before a day went past, Yu IlHan finally finished modifying the magic formation.
18 minutes prior to the barrier’s dispelling ti.
“That was close.”
“If I had more ti and funds...... I’m frustrated.”
“You cramd in so many new functions, what else can there be!?”
The ancient elves did indeed install a magic formation difficult to find in any other world, and the ti that the magic formation had experienced bestowed it history and power to heighten it further.
However, the magic formation prior to Yu IlHan’s tinkering, compared to the magic formation after Yu IlHan’s modifications differed overwhelmingly. If the forr was the 3rd class Yu IlHan, the latter could be called the 4th class Yu IlHan!
First, the already fast activation ti was shortened even further, and the mana ripples in the activation sequence was reduced to the minimum to increase efficiency and secretiveness, and the magic formation additionally sensed any beings that were not allies that tried to co in contact with the formation, and told Yu IlHan the location. To top it off, he set a debuff to limit the activation of movent-class skills and magic.
To sum up, like how the Heaven’s Army or the Destruction Demon Army were trendously strong in their own territories and had easy ti defending against invaders, Yu IlHan had also acquired near complete control over Dareu!
“Although it’s still lacking...... I’ll be satisfied with this for now.”
“So you really don’t stop anywhere. Auh.”
“Don’t make weird moaning sounds and focus on control.”
“It’s not as easy as you say it is!”
Na YuNa, who now had to control two holy regions after the Guardian fortress was made into a holy region, had beco very sensitive. Even while receiving Liera’s glare, she did not let go of Yu IlHan’s hand. Though, she would have to since the barrier would be dispelled at any mont.
“Your Majesty, is everything over now?”
“The preparation for the beginning has ended.”
Yu IlHan lightly replied to Paté before looking around to the elves and wolfkin. He nodded lightly.
“From now is our turn. It will be our turn until the very end.”
“Understood!”
“We’ll make it happen!”
Although the ti was short, they had experienced a training where they were squeezed to their limits, and their pressure was as if they wiped out several higher existences already. Yu IlHan laughed and turned around before taking a short breath.
Now, he really had to kill higher existences with them. He had the confidence to.
“You’re alright now too, are you not, Miss YuNa?’
“I can’t help it since there’s no ti. Tch.”
Na YuNa let go of Yu IlHan’s hand as if she couldn’t help it. It seems that she wasn’t lying when she said it was difficult, as she imdiately creased her brows, but the flow of mana in the Flying fortress and the Guardian fortress was still stable.
“Good, then.”
Although it had been so ti since he had acquired the Hourglass of Eternity, never was he as tense as this ti. Where was this nervousness coming from? Anxiety? Excitent? Fear? If not that, then expectation?
‘Good, I want to beco a higher existence by the end of this war.’
He had no plans to join the Heaven’s Army, or the Destruction Demon Army or the Garden of Sunset. Yu IlHan wanted to beco a higher existence independently, on his own, with his potential alone.
It’s probably nothing – even Chaos Will from Earth had done it, so there was no reason why Yu IlHan’ couldn’t. Yu IlHan dispelled the barrier after setting a grand objective that would put anyone to shock.
And ti started flowing again.
“......?”
“Your Majesty?”
The elves, who were waiting in fear, looked for him.
“Why is nothing changing?”
“I thought all of them would attack us, whether it’s the Destruction Demon Army or the Garden of Sunset.”
“What nonsense are you saying?”
Yu IlHan replied to them while finding an area where there were the least number of higher existences.
“Concealnt is casted over all of us. Not to ntion higher existences, even their grandpas won’t find us.”
“......”
“I said this is our turn, right? How long are you going to hide in fear? We’re going to be the ones invading this ti, and beating them up. Okay?”
“U, understood!”
Although he was still unsatisfied with their ntal education, but he couldn’t help it. They would be able to co to themselves once they actually fought higher existences, so he imdiately....
“Huh?”
However, Yu IlHan stopped mid way through the activation. Although it was very far, he could feel sothing that was moving in a straight line towards them.
As Yu IlHan had ntioned just now, they were under concealnt, so no one should be able to find their locations..... if there was one, there’s...
Erta.
He turned around to Liera, but now that she was no longer an angel, she didn’t seem to have found her yet. Yu IlHan thought about what to do for a mont, but decided to wait.
The wait was not long. As Dareu had ascended into the realm of higher worlds, any higher existences could utilize their full powers without holding back.
“Huh.”
Liera soon noticed and voiced out. Her face contained confusion.
“Sheesh, how hurried can she be!?”
“Perhaps the Heaven’s Army may already be here in Dareu. What we saw maybe just the tip of the iceberg.”
Erta soon showed herself below the clouds. Not accompanied by any other angels, she alone was flying here with a pair of white wings.
[Liera!]
Shouted Erta. Her expression was twisted like an orc that had its food taken away.
[I’ll kill you!]
“Dammit, she’s an enemy after all?”
He didn’t want to have Erta as his enemy! – Yu IlHan bit on his lips and when he was about to take out his spear, Liera shook her head.
“Nah, she’s on our side.”
“......Huh? She just said ‘I’ll kill you’, no?”
[Lieraaaaaaaaaaaaa!]
“......There’s sothing like that.”
Erta rage that seed to fill the world with anger and Liera’s bitter smile.
Yu IlHan only tilted his head in confusion.

Her rage is justified!
Translator’s notes
Y’know. This morning, I was like – “I’m finally clearing my debt today!” Then soti later, soone just threw an entire day’s worth of money of sponsored chapters....
There’s also an unwritten author note 2, which goes – “I won’t be doing two chapters tomorrow. I think that it’s better to focus on quality rather than pumping out chapters without quality.”..... But author has to consider the plot.... so guess what. there’s still $100 in queue!
