[Whereabouts of the final puzzle (4)]
Allied forces By the ti the scout troops arrived in Cairo, the city had been reduced to ruins and no longer habitable.
“What is this…”
“What on earth ca out of the gate to make the city look like this…”
They couldn’t keep their mouths shut after seeing what the city looked like.
The entire city appears to have half lted and solidified.
The Allied scout troops realized that they had arrived too late as the scene was reminiscent of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible, which were destroyed by a shower of sulfur and fireballs.
But it wasn’t just the appearance of the city that was strange.
The scout troops entered the city cautiously.
“…Where are all the monsters?”
“No way, it has already spread to other cities…”
“I see many corpses that appear to have exploded or been burned.”
It was a ti when tension and anxiety appeared on their faces.
“There are survivors over there!”
One of the soldiers holding a telescope pointed his finger in a direction. Soon everyone’s heads turned in the sa direction.
People who survived the disaster huddled together inside the half-collapsed building.
“Ugh…”
“Soone please help …”
The number was dozens.
The survivors who discovered the approaching soldiers were startled and cowered even more.
“We are not enemies!”
The scout troops slowly approached them, making it known that they had no intention of harming them.
“…found a group of survivors. “We will begin rescue operations imdiately.”
Wang Gu-ho, the leader of the ergency scouting unit, reported to headquarters through an ear microphone.
After a while, the scouting unit rescued the survivors and divided the troops into parts to imdiately transport them to the rear.
“…let’s go a little further in.”
The first people to discover were not all of the survivors.
As the scouts entered the city, they discovered dozens more groups of survivors.
“help!”
“There is an injured person here!”
“O Allah! thank you Thank you…”
More people than expected survived in the destroyed city.
They hugged each other, shed tears, fell flat on the floor and prayed to God.
Wang Guho asked the survivors.
“What on earth happened here? “Where have all the monsters gone?”
As we gradually entered the city, we discovered more than a thousand survivors, but we did not find a single living demon or beast.
There were only explosion marks and burnt corpses everywhere.
“That’s strange. There appear to be at least tens of thousands of burnt corpses of unknown form… But why…” ‘
All the enemies are dead, so why are people still alive?’
It was a natural question, but Wang Guho could not bear to say it out loud.
As we entered the center of the city, testimonies from survivors poured in from all over.
“Monsters suddenly appeared…”
“I tried to run away, but sothing like a strange wall stopped .”
“Those guys with the gray hoods! Those guys with strange marks on their backs! “They are the ones who summoned the demons!”
“Suddenly the monsters started exploding. Like a hellfire burning the whole world….”
“It was definitely a woman. Beautiful like a goddess… no, she is definitely a goddess!”
“Don’t go inside. Because there is a devil there…”
However, even after collecting the testimonies of the survivors, the situation was not easily resolved.
We didn’t really see much because everyone was running away like crazy, and most of it was about monsters suddenly starting to explode.
‘Who on earth dealt with all these demons pouring out of the gate?’
According to observations from the Devil’s Castle, there are about 1,200 gates created in Cairo.
Compared to the number that occurred in the Great Basin Desert, it was less than half, but it was by no ans a number that could be dealt with in such a short ti.
‘There were almost no signs of collision on the way here. ‘It all exploded one way and there are only traces of fire.’
There was almost no sign of resistance from the charred or exploded corpses.
In other words, it was a one-sided fight.
‘Besides, they all have the sa cause of death, so there is only one person who caused these many monsters…’
“Ah. Nonsense.”
Wang Guhao shook his head as if his thoughts were nonsense.
‘Could it be possible if it were Lily?’
The most powerful fla-type ability he knew was Lily.
However, regardless of whether Lily could cause this level of destruction, Lily was now in another dinsion with Daein.
…Then who on earth is it?
After a while, Wang Guhao was able to find the traces she left behind.
“oh my god…!”
Wang Guhao stood at the edge of a crater hundreds of ters in diater and looked at the gigantic demon buried dozens of ters below.
[Whoa whoa…!]
The devil was not dead, but was alive and squirming.
There were wounds all over his body that looked like sword marks. There was a hole in the chest as if it had been pierced by a giant’s fist, and the limbs and wings looked as if they had been bitten off by a wild beast.
Grumbling…!
Not only that, the devil’s entire body was engulfed in flas and was burning slowly.
[Please kill …!]
The devil looked up at Wang Guho and said.
At that mont, Wang Guhao was startled and took a step back.
gulp.
‘It’s an incredibly strong demon.’
Now he is called one of the world’s top ten superhumans. Wang Guho was a superhuman who traveled all over the world and gained a lot of experience.
It was enough to gauge how strong the opponent was just by looking at them.
If that devil had been in a healthy state, even he wouldn’t have been able to withstand it for long.
“By any chance… is he a demon lord?”
The identity of the devil was a corps commander under Baal and a devil count, but Wang Guho could not know its identity for the rest of his life.
[Please…]
The demon, which pleaded several more tis, was completely destroyed before the Allied main force arrived.
dump.
Srrrrrrr…
After confirming that the devil’s head was bent and the fla that was consuming its vitality had died down, Wang Guho slowly went down to the bottom of the crater.
“Everyone, don’t co down. “I will check it myself and co back.”
After a while, Wang Guhao saw that the demon was completely dead and breathed a sigh of relief.
He picked up the communication device he had brought with him and reported to headquarters.
“The situation is already over. We’ll search for more survivors here… Oh wait!”
It was then that I noticed a group of people tied to a pillar behind the devil.
***
The main Allied force arrived at the scene and imdiately began rescuing survivors.
More than 70% of Cairo’s population died.
In the destroyed city, the cries of survivors continued. The number of corpses was uncountable, and the city was destroyed to the point where it could not be repaired even after decades.
The Allied Command was depressed as they saw the devastation.
“…this is truly terrible.”
“If we don’t stop Hellgate, we don’t know how many tis this disaster will repeat itself.”
“Why is this happening…”
The Human Allied Forces, who were confident with only one victory, felt anger and fear at the sa ti as they looked at the city that might soon beco their future.
Then soone asked.
“But… when is he coming?”
When Daein arrived in the city, the main Allied forces were in the midst of rescuing survivors.
Jeeeeeeeeee!
A gate opened in the middle of the city, and Daein and Lily walked out of it.
“…Are you here?”
Cheon Mu-geuk greeted his disciple with a stern expression.
Due to the circumstances, I couldn’t warmly welco a student I hadn’t seen in a long ti.
So did other people.
“Great person. “It’s been a while.”
“It’s been a while.”
“You are still the sa.”
“Brother…”
Many people ca up to him and said hello, but since they had all witnessed the devastation of the city, they suppressed their joy and only exchanged simple greetings.
“It’s been a while, everyone.”
After briefly saying hello to them, Daein looked around the city.
‘okay. That friend must be the most shocked….’
‘He is the one who worked harder than anyone else to prevent this incident.’
People thought that Daein must have been greatly shocked.
But instead, the man had a calm expression.
Of course, he wasn’t angry, but he seed calm.
“Fortunately, it seems there was less damage than I thought.”
He was an adult who had already experienced Hell Gate once in his previous life.
The experience of facing the despair of destroyed cities and corpses was richer than that of anyone else in the world.
And he knew best how to deal with it.
“Before I ca, I received a brief report from the aid worker.”
There is no ti to be discouraged.
Also, we don’t know when and where Hell Gate will open.
Now was the ti to quickly suture the wound and co up with the next plan.
“So we brought so people to help us.”
Jump and jump.
Saints, priests, and holy knights of the Holy Kingdom of Arteria walked out of the gate that opened behind Dain.
“Ah…”
Just by their appearance, a refreshing energy spread around the area.
The silver-haired blind saint stepped forward and bowed her head gracefully.
“Greetings from Arman’s humble servant.”
Elites from the Kingdom of Arteria were selected in order of strength of faith and strength of divine power.
These were the people who would beco strong allies of the Allied Forces in the future.
“I heard that many people were injured. Please let our priests take care of it.”
The priests of the Kingdom of Arteria dispersed and approached the injured.
Paaaa…!
The pure white light that emanated from their hands healed the injured people’s bodies and even cald their minds.
“The wound…”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“mom! Are you okay now?”
There were so many injured that there wasn’t even a shortage of potions or even general dicine.
Hundreds of high-ranking priests brought by the Great Man completely filled the void.
“Thank you! Thank you for saving the children!”
“How can I receive this grace…”
The blind saint said with a kind smile to the people who kept shedding tears of gratitude.
“I am not the one who should be greeted.”
“yes? Then…”
“Arman’s son over there led us here.”
Even though she was blind, the saint’s finger pointed accurately at the great man.
A subtle halo was flowing from the great man’s body.
It was because of the four divine jewels he possessed.
But in the eyes of others, it seed like an incredible mystery and miracle.
“thank you! thank you!”
“Savior…”
“Just one hand…”
As the number of people suddenly bowing towards him increased, the great man waved his hand with a puzzled expression.
“Why are you doing this to ? “Isn’t that what it is?”
However, no matter how much he denied it, he could not stop the rumor from spreading through the mouths of people who had directly experienced the miracle.
“Ugh. Really…”
People who knew him looked on with laughter as Daein shook his head and sighed.
“also.”
“As soon as I co here, it changes the atmosphere of this place.”
Daein has now beco that kind of person to everyone.
