Chapter 777: Final Battle (Part 2)
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
Leona was a Chaos Girl whose identity was already exposed. She was also one of the rare weaklings among the Chaos Girls... Actually, her power level wasn’t that bad, but when compared to her seniors who were several centuries old, along with the Chaos Girls who had survived the previous, two previous, or countless previous Holy Wars, Leona was indeed far too weak.
It was likely that even her ancestor who was a God wouldn’t be able to protect her from Karwenz. The God of Sword and Thunder was just a newborn Low God, after all. He was far weaker than a Main God. Thus, I had scamd and kidnapped Leona to Bardi also as a way of protecting her.
Since Leona was a critical chess piece who could influence the fate of the world itself, other higher-ups and factions wouldn’t be as “kind” as I was. Once Leona was in Bardi’s hands, even though Bardi didn’t imprison her out of respect for , their protection and restrictions on Leona had far exceeded those for the ruler of any country.
No ordinary king would have five Level 4 individuals as his bodyguards. There were also more than a dozen “volunteers” hidden in the shadows.
In a way, this was sothing that I tacitly accepted and even expected. I had indeed scamd Leona since I had promised to take her to find Karwenz, and then ran into him on that floating airship afterwards, but never told her about the truth.
Everyone knew that Leona wanted revenge on Karwenz, but when considering the power level difference between them, it would be nothing more than suicide.
Still, Leona would see as nothing more than a shaless person who betrayed her.
Yet, would anyone really think that I cared about what she thought?
I glanced outside my room. I didn’t have the free ti to care about such matters right now.
The fires of war would only keep burning ever fiercer until the final piece of grass fuel was used up. Both sides of the war would also serve as more fuel for the fire.
Even though it was now dawn, the western battle showed no signs of ending. Instead, as the mages successfully landed, they activated more and more war puppets as the mages entered the battle, making the fighting even fiercer than before.
At such a ti, talking about sothing like love and peace would be nothing more than a joke. Our human alliance had invested so much all for the sake of completely eliminating the devils and undead here, along with destroying the Dinsional Doors and completely reclaiming this area of land.
Once this area of land was reclaid, then the Forest of Dreams, Mage Country, and Bardi would all beco interconnected with no internal obstacles. This three-way alliance would perhaps then beco the strongest faction in the mortal plane due to the montum from such a major victory.
This land reclamation battle was the first major action taken by the entire Hell Faction and mortal plane’s allied countries. This was the most important thing for us right now, so we wouldn’t possibly allow this to fail.
As for , even though nobody could force to do anything, just the requests from the others “above ” ant that I couldn’t possibly leave right now.
Even though the battles were quite vicious already on both the western and eastern battlefronts, the biggest obstacles had yet to appear. The Devil Lords, powerful Devil Nobles, Undead Emperors, and ancient Undead Lords were all individually powerful enough to influence the entire course of battle.
Ordinary people would only be slaughtered by them. That obviously wouldn’t do, so our own top-level individuals would likely end up fighting against the enemy’s top-level individuals.
In the past, human top-level individuals had always been weaker compared to those from other species, but this might not be the case anymore.
Many of my old acquaintances were lying in wait on the western battlefront with . They were mostly Truth-level archmages. anwhile, things on the eastern battlefront were left to the Immorial and Supre Immorial Dragons from Dragon City.
Dragons and mages. These were probably so of the strongest fighting forces in the mortal plane, and they were on our side. They wouldn’t be any weaker than the high-level devils and undead.
Now, it was a contest of who would be unable to take things anymore and act first. Anyone who acted first would expose their own position and abilities, naturally putting them into a more dangerous position.
As long as the battle continued, soone would definitely be unable to wait anymore and show themselves first. That person would then beco their enemy’s main target.
A royal knight ssenger from Bardi was anxiously waiting for my reply in front of right now. His slightly dark skinned face also had an awkward expression.
I had given Leona over to Bardi. No matter what happened, Bardi had lost her, so naturally Bardi was responsible. In a way, I was also fighting for the sake of Bardi right now, so this made things even more awkward.
However, I shook my head, indicating that I didn’t mind, and that I wasn’t going to say anything.
I had also reviewed the amount of defense and protection that Bardi could provide Leona with. Even I didn’t have a guarantee of being able to steal Leona away from everyone guarding her, nor was I capable of keeping so many powerful guards on her. Since Bardi was able to do much better than I could, yet they still failed to protect her, then there was no need for to regret anything.
“Did you guys have a mage use mory Rewind to check what happened?”
“Yes, we did, but the answer we received was truly inconceivable.”
The ssenger then handed a report that was indeed quite inconceivable.
“You’re saying that Leona walked out by herself? And that she even easily killed two Level 4 individuals who tried to stop her?”
I had quite an exaggerated expression, just as if I had read a fairy tale. How could sothing so ridiculous occur? But then, I said...
“Okay, I understand. Just tell them that I understand.”
My reply was actually quite calm. According to my understanding, sothing that sounded so “ridiculous” was actually really believable.
Many thoughts and facts flashed through my mind as I analyzed various possibilities. I used logic to eliminate the impossible and to weed out false information. Sotis, the more ridiculous a matter, the greater the possibility that I could find the “truth” that I needed.
I then faintly thought of a certain possibility that seed more and more likely the more I thought about it. I was now regretting things...
“...Honestly, I truly should have directly killed Leona back then. I never thought that Leona would be a truly important chess piece in the grand sche of things.”
However, regret was probably more useless than anything in this world. At the very least, that nearby large black devil who was more than 30 ters tall would probably think the sa thing right now.
This large devil suddenly appeared probably because he was unable to take the “weak insects” that he was used to looking down on forcing their way ever closer. This powerful devil started using his powers which were far superior to those of ordinary humans to slaughter as he pleased. And then...
Well, seven high-circle magic spells simultaneously landed direct hits on him. I could only successfully identify a misfortune spell from prophecy magic and a teor spell. I had previously tried to secretly learn the first spell for myself, and teor spells were simply far too easy to identify, especially since this unfortunate devil was crushed to death by it.
“As expected, idiots who casually show their ultimate abilities on the battlefield are always destined to die fast.”
I quite proudly continued to wait in hiding, until an unexpected situation forced onto the battlefield, making into the idiot that I just talked about.
