Solis without Leon seed to have lost its vitality. The royal palace was quiet, and even the expressions of the knights guarding the palace were not good. In that atmosphere, Leon’s light gathered in Arsilan once more.

There was no promise.

No Quest appeared either. However, countless Heroes and Arsilan residents began to gather in Solis. The lanterns they held dyed the night of Solis in a golden color.

Heroes and Arsilan residents.

All of them were citizens of the Sillion Kingdom.

So many citizens crowded in that dozens of spaces were created. It felt as though the emptiness of Solis without Leon had been filled just a little.

[Leon’s light descends upon the altar of the Solis Grand Temple.]

Leon’s light escaped from the lanterns and shot up into the sky. It rose as a golden star in the night sky, then headed toward the altar of the Grand Temple.

Whoosh!

Golden flas blazed up from the altar of the Grand Temple. They were flas of purification that erased all filth in the world.

That was when it happened.

[A Dinsion Gate has opened from the outside!]

“Huh?”

“That is….”

Space rippled in the sky over Solis and began to split apart.

Beyond the space, the cosmos could be seen. As if connecting to another world, starlight poured down, and a massive planet slowly approached.

“Arsilan?”

“Is that Arsilan? But sothing feels different.”

The terrain was familiar enough to recognize it as Arsilan. The difference was that, in addition to the reclaid lands, even more territory had been recovered, making it look like a complete planet.

The planet gradually enlarged, and then a city identical to where the Heroes were standing appeared.

Solis.

Beyond the split space, countless Heroes and Arsilan residents in Solis could be seen. They too were lifting their heads and looking at everyone.

They looked overwhelmingly strong, as if they had co from the future, and they were wearing equipnt no one had ever seen before.

[We have a Dinsion Gate too.]

[It is not sothing only you can use.]

[Hehehe, newbies are cute.]

Nurous voices rang out from the sky.

The worldline that had been saved by returning to the past had departed from the ti axis and beco the future. That future Arsilan had opened its Dinsion Gate and connected it to this very place.

All the Heroes and Arsilan residents in Solis stared up at the sky in a daze. They had only ever given help, never received it.

-You guys look really shocked?

-ㅋㅋㅋ This is what you call direction!

-When you receive help, you pay it back. That is what a Hero is.

-I want to go there myself, but since that is not possible, it is a bit of a sha.

Even their chat windows could be seen between the spaces.

Were they Episode 5? Or Episode 6?

[What happens next is…]

[I will tell you everything! Write it down!]

When those voices were heard, the Heroes who had been staring at the sky flinched and urgently spoke up.

“You crazy bastards! Do not spoil it!”

“Please be quiet!”

“We will handle it ourselves, so please refrain from spoilers.”

“Ah! At least tell us the lottery numbers first!”

“Give us so skyrocketing stock picks! Not FS Gas!”

At the Heroes’ words, they burst into loud laughter as if they had expected that reaction. For a mont, they looked at each other in silence. Though from different tis, they felt like reliable comrades. It was Arsilan, where everyone was moving forward together on the Path of Light.

[It will get more fun from now on.]

[You will probably be really surprised.]

[Take this. You do not have stuff like this, right?]

They all raised their hands toward the altar of Solis.

At that mont, the sky of Solis was dyed with light once again. The future Arsilan sent countless lights. The lights descended beautifully and settled upon the altar of the Grand Temple.

It was a sight like receiving a baptism of light.

Kwooooo!

The altar of the Grand Temple blazed with an even brighter light, then surged upward as if exploding. It erased the clouds in the sky and beca a pillar of light. With the addition of the future’s light, an overwhelmingly intense radiance gathered.

As if even the Grand Temple could not endure it, parts of it were damaged and it shook violently. The Clerics urgently deployed sacred techniques to protect the Grand Temple.

[Good luck.]

[We have done this much, so take care of the rest yourselves.]

[Then, goodbye!]

The connected space began to close.

Seeing such unnecessarily cheerful behavior felt like looking into a mirror. Everyone gathered in Solis rely let out small chuckles. When the space completely closed, a Quest Window appeared before everyone.

[Holy Sword] One Who Walks the Path of Light

‘The path you walk is hope itself and light.’

Not only did you return to the past and save countless tilines, but you also brought Leon’s light once again to save our Arsilan.

Countless tilines responded to the miracle you created and sent even more powerful light. The enemy is overwhelmingly strong, and despair and frustration will always co, but as long as you walk the Path of Light, you are not alone.

Now, let us create the Holy Sword in which the true light of Arsilan dwells, and save the world that we will create together. Perhaps the Holy Sword you complete will now possess infinite possibilities beyond light itself.

Restriction: None

Reward: True Holy Sword

A Quest to create the True Holy Sword appeared.

At the sa ti, the thod for forging the Holy Sword ca to mind.

It was to engrave the blazing light of the Grand Temple into one’s soul. By newly filling the empty space and pouring it toward Leon, the incarnation of the Holy Sword, it might be possible to reverse Leon once again.

Everyone approached the front of the Grand Temple.

From the light blazing brightly and illuminating Arsilan, crystals of light were ford and settled into the souls of the Heroes. They filled the empty space left behind by Leon’s vanished light.

Light also settled into the Arsilan residents.

It felt as though their cold souls were lting, and they were being granted a true life that suited the present Arsilan. It was comforting enough to bring tears to their eyes.

[Please temper your own Holy Sword]

*The light dwelling within you will take your experience as nourishnt and attain a complete form.

The thod of creating the Holy Sword was simple.

There was no need for materials or blacksmithing skills. One simply had to distribute experience to the crystal of light dwelling in the soul. Then, where was the place that granted the most experience right now?

“We need to go to the Seoul Field.”

“It looks like they will invade there anyway….”

“Let’s go!”

All preparations were complete.

Now, only the decisive battle remained.

The aura of Erosion that had been heading toward the reversed Leon was also gradually weakening. The even more powerful reversed Leon would lead his legion and invade the Seoul Field.

Arsilan, imbued with light, began to gather at the Seoul Field once again.

“Huh? You guys, a notice just ca up?”

“What is it?”

A notice was posted on Arsilan Worlds.

[Title: Unauthorized External Access Has Been Confird.]

Hello, Hero!

An unknown external access to Arsilan Saga has currently been confird. We have identified access logs indicating a connection from two years in the future. It is presud to be an error, and fortunately, there has been no damage.

FS Gas is doing its utmost to ensure the security and safe operation of Arsilan Saga. Using this incident as a stepping stone, we will manage it even more thoroughly.

We apologize for causing concern due to this incident.

Anonymous1(KR): ㅋㅋㅋ It did co from the outside though.

Anonymous2(JP): Yeah, you should do better! Give compensation too.

└Anonymous3(US): That is a bit….

Comfortable: No, what is this notice?

HoHogamMan: I tried imagining myself increasing my own Affinity toward myself.

└Anonymous4(KR): The end of Affinity grinding is increasing Affinity toward oneself.

MintSeaweedSoup: Now they are even doing direction through notices.

The Creator God had reached the level of even doing direction through notices.

The Heroes greatly admired the new direction and began leaving many comnts.

***

It was no exaggeration to say that all the world’s attention was on Arsilan Saga. A battle involving enormous interests was approaching right before their eyes. Having a field added through a Dinsion Gate was no different from money falling from the sky.

Through SNS, various official institutions also cheered on the Heroes. It all began when a post uploaded by the Los Angeles Police Departnt beca a major topic.

[LA Police Departnt (Verified)]

Arsilan! Please save LA!

We would like to deploy as well, but unfortunately, we took an arrow to the knee….

We will cheer with all our might!

#ArsilanSaga #Hero #LA #ProtectLA!

Starting with the LA Police Departnt, the Governor of California, the Mayor of LA, and even the US Departnt of Defense left posts on SNS.

Just a few years ago, no one would have believed that the entire world would make such a fuss over a single ga. However, Arsilan Saga was already mainstream culture. The number of users was rapidly climbing toward 100 million, and the sold-out streak was still continuing.

Major dia outlets around the world had all converged on LA. The press crews covering Arsilan Saga wore armbands of the Golden Alliance on their arms. With technical support from FS Gas, they were able to capture the horrific scenes of the hidden world on cara.

They broadcast the reversed Leon sitting on the throne in real ti, and the situation in LA was also aired 24 hours a day. As unprecedented ratings were recorded, so dia companies even collaborated directly with FS Gas to create independent broadcasting stations.

“The Dark Legion that has halted the invasion of Seoul.”

“LA shrouded in the on of war, what is its fate?”

Articles continued to pour out.

The Legion of Erosion had co to be called the Dark Legion after Leon absorbed the aura of Erosion.

Jinwoo resided within the reversed Leon and prepared the direction.

Through this direction, he planned to distribute the Holy Sword he had created to everyone. The True Holy Sword he had made did not weaken at all even after being shared with everyone in Arsilan. Moreover, he had prepared many things using True Magic Stones.

Tiris (Director): The Holy Sword has been connected to the Magic Tower. The energy is trendous. It feels as if we brought the sun itself.

Jinwoo (Reversed Leon): It has to be at least that much. I devised it for a hundred years.

For Jinwoo, it was no different from having carried out the Holy Sword creation Quest alone for a hundred years. It was not only a weapon to attack higher beings of Erosion but also sothing that could be utilized by the Magic Tower.

Until now, there had been many limitations on direction.

Using Magic Stones and True Magic Stones, it was possible to handle direction across all of Arsilan, but output amplification alone was not possible. To double the output required dozens of tis more energy.

From the mont the Holy Sword was completed, those limitations disappeared. He could raise the output to the point where the Magic Tower would lt and pour it into direction or the operation of Arsilan Saga.

The spectacle that unfolded in front of the Grand Temple could also be directed without any burden thanks to the Holy Sword. With overwhelming output, it was enough to grant even personality and individuality exactly as they were to each Hero created through Illusion Magic.

Jinwoo (Reversed Leon): Then let us begin.

The ashen currents that had stretched out from various cities gradually weakened and then were completely severed. The cities that had been drained of the aura of Erosion beca completely bleached, turning pure white. It looked as if they would all crumble into powder if even a breeze blew.

The Great Rift was the sa.

The aura of Erosion visible through the crack withered away entirely and began to fall as white snow.

A silence in which even sound had died.

The end of the world beyond horror had arrived. It was reported imdiately through Arsilan Worlds and various broadcasts and dia outlets.

Everyone realized at that mont.

A war that would decide the fate of not only LA but all cities was about to begin.

Jinwoo rose from the throne.

The throne disappeared into the floor as if sinking into shadow.

When Jinwoo stepped down onto the ground, the Dark Legion that had been quietly waiting lined up behind him as if they had been expecting it. The drastically increased output of the Magic Tower endlessly elevated the completeness of those reversed Heroes. It was believable that actual souls dwelled within them.

As Jinwoo began to move, everyone watching was startled and quickly sent out breaking news. Countless tourists had even set up tents nearby and had been watching the reversed Leon until now.

“Then, let us show them an upgraded Arsilan Saga.”

Jinwoo raised his head and looked ahead. Ruined buildings and structures obstructed the advance before his eyes. When Jinwoo extended his hand, dark currents began to gather. They swirled in front of his hand, and then

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

They surged forward, annihilating everything directly ahead. It was an overwhelming sight, like a tsunami sweeping through a city.

“…Crazy.”

“My God…”

Erased.

Everything that had been in front of Jinwoo disappeared.

Because LA had Soul Gates installed on a massive scale comparable to Seoul, the scene of part of the city being annihilated was broadcast to everyone.

Jinwoo drew his demonic sword and slowly swung it forward. Then space split from sky to ground and was torn wide open to the side.

Beyond the torn space, Seoul could be seen.

The Dark Legion drew their weapons with crazed smiles. The Dark Legion wore unified uniforms or armor. Even from the Heroes’ perspective, they looked quite impressive. There was a charm that surpassed the original.

“Kill everyone without leaving a single one.”

At last, Jinwoo’s order was given.

“For despair!”

“Let us build an empire!”

The Dark Legion advanced toward Seoul.

The Legion of Light in the Seoul Field also constructed defensive lines in response.

It was not on the scale of millions.

The number of Heroes alone reached tens of millions, and the number of Arsilan residents was comparable. Jinwoo adjusted the capacity and divided the space so that everyone could participate comfortably. With the setting of a hidden world, it also fit the plausibility.

The Dark Legion advancing toward the Legion of Light.

The Heroes staring into the darkness with grim resolve.

The Arsilan residents standing guard beside those Heroes.

It was an overwhelmingly magnificent sight, enough to make one’s heart burn just by watching.

‘Hmm.’

Jinwoo fell into thought for a mont.

Since the output of the Magic Tower had been dramatically increased anyway, he wanted to add more content.

‘Should I tease them a little?’

An interesting idea ca to mind.

Jinwoo drew a twisted smile at the corner of his lips and imdiately began the direction.

***

Darkness is coming!

They would drive away that darkness and save Leon. Each Hero, filled with a sense of duty, stared at the approaching Dark Legion.

“There are fucking many of them.”

“But we have a lot too.”

“That is true, but….”

-Supply units have departed!

-We will support from the rear.

Through the Broadcasting Bureau’s coverage, the scene was being live stread to Arsilan Worlds and the entire world. Heroes in charge of supplies or production in Arsilan turned on the broadcast and devoted themselves to their work.

“Ugh, this is nerve-wracking.”

“ too. This is my first ti with such large-scale content….”

“But after fighting in the Great War, I feel more confident.”

“Haha, I got on at the last mont too. I even got this helt there.”

“Oh….”

The Hero who had just shed their newbie status looked fairly composed.

Their weapon had been enhanced, and their armor newly fitted. They were now accustod to using skills. They were brimming with confidence that they could pull their own weight.

Before them, the nad Heroes, the vanguard, were holding firm like a wall.

“You are killing the mood.”

“This is war!”

“Let us finish quickly and go eat.”

The vanguard threw out slightly boastful remarks while looking at the Dark Legion advancing slowly. Hearing those remarks, the newbie Heroes chuckled softly and relaxed their tension.

“Y, you guys! Look at Arsilan Worlds!”

At that mont, a high-level Hero in front shouted out in shock. When everyone logged into Arsilan Worlds, the newbie Heroes also opened their information windows and entered Arsilan Worlds.

“Huh?”

Arsilan Worlds was changing.

As if being eroded by darkness, it was slowly dyed in darkness, and then the entirety of Arsilan Worlds flipped as if reversed.

Swoosh!

The existing posts were swallowed by darkness, and new posts surfaced.

‘Those bastards are fucking weak.’

‘Legion of Light this bullshit ㅋㅋ’

‘Look at the way they look. Let us kill them all.’

‘Those fakes seem to think they are the real ones?’

Posts with such titles were going up. Seeing that, the minds of all the Heroes went blank.

“N, no….”

“Why are you guys writing posts….”

Arsilan Worlds had been taken over!

Give us back our Arsilan Worlds!

At least one fortunate thing was that a small flickering light could be seen in the lower right corner. That place was becoming a temporary shelter. Only broadcast streams and best posts could barely be viewed.

There was sothing even more shocking.

Shouts of astonishnt could be heard from all around.

[Uncomfortable] Dark Bishop departing.

Viewers: 15.36 million

[Dark Haebyul] Invading the Seoul Field!

Viewers: 14.23 million

[SouthernGrandDuke] For the South!

Viewers: 7.31 million

[WristThief] I will collect wrists!

Viewers: 10,000

The reversed Heroes were even broadcasting.

The newbie Hero stared blankly at the titles, then entered Dark Haebyul’s broadcast.

Dark Haebyul was imitating a fox and coaxing donations. It was a fairly seductive dance.

-Kyah! This is it! This is Haebyul Fox!

-Wow! I think I am going to fall for her!

-Dark Haebyul noona....

-I enjoyed watching.

-I will donate.

The Dark Legion even chatted while watching the broadcast.

The newbie Heroes could only stare at the scene in a daze, unable to close their mouths.

“Kyaaaah! That crazy bitch!”

Haebyul’s curse could be heard from far away. It seed she had checked Dark Haebyul’s broadcast. Haebyul’s viewer count began to drop. They were moving over to Dark Haebyul’s broadcast.

-Haebyul, it is pretty nice here.

-Ohhh... look at those moves.

-Kyah! You cannot even compare her to the original.

-She has a lot to learn, it seems.

The viewers who had moved to Dark Haebyul’s broadcast even left such chats.

The newbie Heroes barely managed to collect themselves.

“D, direction….”

“This is insane.”

The newbie Heroes looked at each other and nodded.

Long live the Creator God!

As expected, Arsilan Saga was unpredictable.

In any case, the war that held everyone’s fate had begun!
