On the sa day that we reunited with Phelena, we received a ssage on one of the voice crystals from Durinhold, the Dwarven Kingdom.
In the ssage, one of the dwarven engineers who had been staying inside the world titan spoke excitedly about its awakening, and it took a few seconds to grasp what he was saying.
lina and I gathered all the core pieces for the world titan to work, but I honestly never expected the massive robot to co to life.
The dwarven engineers were learning how to control the machine, and they asked for three days to prepare, which worked for us since we were waiting for the other nations’ armies to get closer to us.
There were large ships with thousands of soldiers from every single nation we had ever visited, and they were all traveling to the shores of the Northern Empire, the Sephyr Kingdom, and Kyotora.
Since those three countries were the closest to the devil’s continent, they believed it would be better for our forces to advance from there and surround the massive island.
I didn’t know much about war tactics, but I did gather so experience during the war in the Beast Kingdom of Kalusia. I an—this war was different as it was much larger, and it also took place in the sea while the war in Kalusia took place in the scorching desert. The tactics wouldn’t be a 1:1 comparison, but I assud they could work just as well.
While we waited for the dwarves to study the titan and for the soldiers to get to their respective positions, lina and I kept fixing up the capital in the north.
After we were done with the castle’s repairs, we decided to build a small hut in the city for lina and ... and our familiars, of course. The new emperor, Thorgest, insisted that we could stay in the castle for as long as we wanted, but we politely declined as we just wanted a bit more privacy.
One night, lina and I were walking back to the hut with a tray full of food. We had been distributing food and potions to the people who needed it, and after a day of hard work, we returned to get so sleep.
As we got closer to the hut, we spotted Arashi and Frost, the two dragons, sitting on top of the roof with Ovi, their new younger sibling.
I still wasn’t sure what was the deal with the baby dragon, as the mana that ca from his body was almost exactly the sa as Fuego’s, but I assud that was normal, considering it was his egg, and he infused his own magic into it nurous tis.
Ovi’s body could fit on my palm. His tail was long enough to reach my arm, but he was still so small that it was almost scary to hold him as I felt I could hurt him by mistake.
lina approached the dragons first and took out a few pieces of chocolate that she had in her void pocket before sitting beside them.
It was clear that the dragons were grieving the loss of their older brother, and it was completely normal to feel that way. I felt pretty terrible about it, and I had only known Fuego for a few weeks.
When we sat down with the dragons and had a small talk with them, Arashi revealed that her brother’s "will" kept on living inside Ovi.
"His desires, his objectives... I can feel them—they are all in there..." Arashi comnted as she gently patted Ovi’s head.

After three days had passed, we were receiving ssages from the captains of the armies all over the world, stating that they had reached their destinations and were awaiting further orders to advance to the lost continent.
The ssage from the dwarves was one of the last we received, and when they told us that they managed to make the massive titan walk, I didn’t know if I should take that as good or bad news.
The World Titan was literally the size of a mountain, so having that massive thing walking around couldn’t have been a peaceful sight.
Still, when the dwarves said they were starting to move to the lost continent, I passed the order around to the other armies for them to prepare.
Since Durinhold was located on the southern tip of the eastern continent, they had quite a trip to make to reach the devil’s territory, so all of the armies were placed on standby, waiting for the titan to get closer to the destination.
Only two days later, the dwarves sent a ssage saying that they were passing the country of Eldariel, so they had gotten pretty close, which prompted us to make our move as well and board the large boats filled with Vikings.
The soldiers from the Guanghua Kingdom, Lotus, and Eldariel departed from Kyotora.
The mages from the tower at Balinesia were moving with the army of Vista, and the dwarves from Durinhold were all inside the world titan—well, not all, but there were at least fifty dwarves manning the machine.
The Droman Empire, Aridonia, and Kalusia departed from the Sephyr Kingdom towards the lost continent. From the north where we were, the Vikings and one knight’s order from Sephyr took off.
It only took us two hours to see the massive obsidian wall made of stone in the middle of the sea, which protected the entire devil’s continent from outsiders.
I knew that there was supposed to be a whole country of people living there before the devils took over, so I asked Jackson how those people managed to leave their country with such a big wall preventing them.
According to him, the obsidian wall had always been there. However, it used to be completely underwater, and a powerful devil raised it higher after they conquered the continent.
"So... It can be lowered back down with magic?" I wondered aloud, prompting Jackson to gaze at with a curious look.
