It reminded of that ti.
I rembered when Sir Geens attacked to kill and the small bird opened up the ark to protect .
This
But this ti, everything was completely different other than Percys appearance.
The golem, which had attempted to regenerate dozens of tis already, floated in the air piece by piece as if ti had stopped.
I was holding the still unconscious Duchess Blanquer and flying in the air while covered by her blood.
Dust fell from my body each ti Percy flapped his wings.
However, everything in front of was so full of light that I could not pay attention to anything else.
I squinted and looked at the ground. The first person I saw was Christelle.
She was looking down at her body with an extrely shocked look on her face.
Blue light was coming out of the main characters body as she created a water drop.
Paaaaat!
Da Christelle!
Vice Captain lisabeth ran over to her in shock.
The light coming out of Christelle pierced through the center of space in between the setting blood-like sun and the rising white moon.
Her two feet floated up from the ground and then slumped. The strange actions did not stop there.
Ooooooong!
The Imperial Crown Princes Sword of Wisdom, which was releasing a light from its red jewel, shot a red light toward the heavens as if following Christelle.
Crown prince Cdric scowled and looked down at his sword.
The young Countess urgently caught Christelle but she seed unconscious.
I stomped my foot to go down, but
Shaaaaa!
Ugh!
The jewel at the wing joint of the Ark of the Wind Deity shot out a light purple colored ray of light.
I staggered after being pushed back from the recoil.
Percys ray of light shot out brightly toward the sa spot in the sky.
Last was the divine item of the east, the Sacred Bow of the Tree of Life.
Wiiiiiiiiiiing!
The green jewel at the center of the tree released a magnificent ray of light.
This erald-colored ray of light shot out toward the sa location as the other three divine items.
Four magical rays of light were gathering at the extrely tall and endless zenith in the sky.
This beautiful yet chilling sight was visible throughout the continent.
However, what happened next was sothing that everybody, including , and perhaps even the author of QNW, would have never expected.
Thump.
Eek.
My heart beat wildly. No, maybe it stopped.
I gasped as my heart suddenly tightened and my mind was turning white.
My stiff body repeatedly heated up as hot as lava before getting as cold as a glacier.
Ha, ugh, oo
I placed a hand on my chest instead of my neck and flailed in pain.
I couldnt breathe but my instincts were telling this was different from suffocation.
It felt as if I was not supposed to be there, as if my soul was being repulsed by the world for not belonging here.
My jaw dropped from an instinctual fear of sothing being wrong and my lips were shaking.
The ark beca perplexed at my flailing and flew lower. That was a relief.
Plop!
Eek!
I placed Duchess Blanquer on the ground with shaking arms before slowly crawling away from her.
It didnt matter where I ended up. This was an extrely dangerous developnt.
My instincts were telling that I ended up as an extrely ominous existence.
I needed to go sowhere without people. Veins were visible on my temples and my eyes felt as if they would burst out.
Ooo, ugh
Your highness! Prince Jesse!
Vice Captain lisabeth, who was on the ground holding Christelle, shouted.
Her voice sounded extrely anxious.
I wanted to tell her that I was okay but I didnt even have the strength to turn my head.
My hips felt weak and I felt as if I might fall at any mont. As I dangerously staggered
Tap
Ugh
What is it?
My gaze was forced up.
My vision was blurry and I couldnt see the mans face very well, but I could tell his orange eyes that looked as if garnets had been embedded in there.
He pushed my chin up even higher with the tip of his scabbard.
My vision cleared up for a bit before becoming blurry again.
State the issue.
way.
Properly.
un,awa
Tsk. He bent down and used rough movents to rummage through my bag.
Painkillers, other dicine, as well as nurous tools that I urgently packed all fell to the ground.
The crown prince peeked at my condition before picking up a magic tool flare.
He couldnt just feed any dicine so he probably thought that it would be faster to call for reinforcent.
My stomach was churning but I still gasped and shook my head. Hey idiot, thats not it
U Gasp.
Jesse. Louder.
G, get lost!
Beeeeeeeeeep! My ears were ringing. Sothing ca up from my stomach.
Everything turned completely white and
Baaaaaaaang!
Sadie!
A golden light burst out of my body. The young Countesss shouting beca faint.
*
Clang!
Wake up, Herv.
Frdrique Riester had a tired smile on her face as she brushed her hair back.
The holy sword in her right hand, Durandal, was showing off its nimble appearance.
It was just another afternoon at the Riester Imperial Palace.
The interior training ground, which had shed all of its dirt and scars to be remade last June, was to the Empresss liking.
There was that annoying issue of her punk of a son and the little Sarnez girl half destroying the training ground, but she was satisfied because a luxurious onyx couch and silver table was brought in here after the renovations were finished.
Aurlie frowned but pretended not to see.
Ugh, your Majesty May I please have one minute to comply with that Imperial Decree?
You sure love to exaggerate. I will give you five seconds.
Ugh.
The Captain of the Imperial Guard, who was currently slamd against a corner of the training ground groaning, could not go against his masters order and struggled to lift his body up.
Herv Duhem was one of the Empires greatest mages who was confident about his large physique and quick speed, but unfortunately, he was no match for the Empress.
In fact, her being willing to spar with him like this was an extre honor and one of the few opportunities for him to grow stronger.
Frdrique, go easy on him. What if Herv gets too hurt to get off the bed for a while?
Then I will have to protect the Palace. That punk, lisabeth, isnt here either right now.
Ooooooooong! Her sword masters aura gathered at the tip of Durandals blade.
The Empress shrugged her shoulders and Aurlie shook her head as if she knew she couldnt stop her.
She took a sip of coffee before starting to speak again.
The children still havent contacted us. Didnt they say that they were coming back today?
They must have gotten too distracted with the dancing.
That might be true. Cdric is very good at the waltz.
I taught him.
The Empress, who didnt even know the definition of being humble, smiled as she answered.
Herv laughed out loud before he received her sharp gaze.
The Cardinal truly couldnt hold back a smile this ti.
It was fun waiting for the children who went to all corners of the Empire to cause trouble, save others, and grow.
However, resting with her long friend and soulmate was just as fun.
Lately, every day seed quite peaceful and warm.
Should we go to the regional portal to greet the kids?
Slam!
Soone disrespectfully slamd the training ground door open and entered.
The Empress and the Captain of the Imperial Guards gazes moved at the sa ti.
The Cardinals beige-colored eyes opened wide. The person was surprisingly the Chief of Staff, Laura.
There was only one other ti in the past few decades that Laura had acted like this.
That day, Frdrique and Aurlie had lost the most important man in their lives.
Laura? What happened?
The Cardinal urgently stood up.
Click! She was so anxious that she spilled her hot coffee but she could not pay any attention to it.
Frdrique quickly approached her, grabbed her wrist, and clicked her tongue.
Laura showed her respects and broke her silence.
Your Majesty, we received an urgent ssage from Sir Johann Geens. A golem has appeared on the east side of the Empire. In the Blanquer Duchy A golem is running wild right now.
What?
His Royal Highness and the others are working with Duchess Blanquer to fight against it, but the ssage says that it is not easy to take down as Dungeon 1 had opened right before it showed up.
Anxiety could be seen in her cherry-colored eyes. This was unbelievable news.
The last ti the appearance of a golem was recorded was 500, no, almost 600 years ago.
She was extrely shocked and bewildered but still made a quick judgnt.
That was the most important duty of a ruler.
Make an ergency summon for the Chambre des pairs. If the Pair de Riester themselves are currently absent from the Imperial Capital, make their heir participate. Send 3,000 soldiers and thirty knights at Grade 5 or higher to the Duchy imdiately. Have them wait at the boundary of the territory until the Duchess requests for their assistance.
As you command. And one more thing, your Majesty.
Theres more?
The Empress looked at her right hand woman.
Frdrique finally realized that Lauras wheat-colored hair had a few strands sticking out and that her sincere gaze was shaking so much.
The Chief of Staff continued to speak in a shaking voice.
Outside, on the eastern sky Sothing has happened. You need to co out and take a look, your Majesty.
What the hell
The Empress scowled and started walking. The Cardinal and the Captain of the Imperial Guard followed behind her.
Tang! Frdrique basically kicked the training ground door open and stepped out.
Fuck.
She then swore. The entire Imperial Palace was chaotic.
She could see soone fainted on the ground.
Everybody was looking at sothing with shock and fear that nobody even turned to see that the Empress had arrived.
Frdrique glared at the eastern sky that the gardeners, attendants, royal servants, and soldiers were all staring at with blank gazes on their faces.
She was certain that everything outside the palace was crazy right now.
Laura.
Yes, your Majesty.
Send the soldiers into alert imdiately. Contact Admiral Corleone as well.
She sounded as if she was ready to chew soone out. Aurlie closed her eyes.
She then mumbled the na of her one and only student.

Blood!
Baarf. Cough cough! Cough! Barf
Blood continued to pour out of my mouth nonstop. The fishy, salty, and disgusting taste filled my tongue and cheeks.
It was scary and dreadful but the thing that gave the chills was that I couldnt even rember how long I had been doing this for.
Plop. Holy stones fell like hail from my ripped shirt.
I blankly stared at the stones in the puddle of blood and coughed again.
Cough cough! Baaarf, haaaa.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaa
The holy stones started absorbing the blood.
I couldnt help but be surprised despite trying to catch my breath.
The holy stones sucked up my blood as if they were sponges and as if my red blood was like a water of life.
I got chills and moved back out of reflex. I could feel the rough ground as they pushed against the dirt.
Cough. For better or worse, it felt as if my bleeding and coughing was slowing down.
Haaa, mmph
I barely held myself back from barfing again and looked around.
The light was not there anymore. I could feel the ark on my back.
I could see Duchess Blanquer, who was still on the ground just as I left her, as well as the crown prince who was unconscious under a tree.
On the other side were the unconscious Christelle and Vice Captain lisabeth
Booboboboooooooooom
It sounded as if there was an earthquake in the sky.
I jerked my head up to see if there were any flying demonic beasts.
I needed to open my Holy Land to protect every-
What is that?
I blankly mumbled.
It looked like sothing out of a sci-fi movie.
The spot where the four rays of light had gathered was quickly growing in size.
The dot soon beca a screen before that almost instantly beca a large hole.
It looked as if so dangerous extraterrestrial creatures or a UFO would co through it.
The warning about not knowing what would happen when four divine items gathered together filled my head again.
No, I cant even tell after looking at it. I cant even tell if my body is normal. What the hell is going
Huff. Huu.
It was hard to breathe. My fingertips were shaking. I stood up as if I was possessed by sothing.
The thing that appeared through the large hole in the sky
Our house Thats our veranda.
Flap!
My two legs floated up. I felt everything go blurry as I flew higher.
It was sothing I could not mistakenly identify.
The place where the grass doll that Eunseo grew in middle school was planted in a pot.
The place where my brother would place a fishing chair and blow bubbles while coming up with ideas for the next chapter of his wuxia novel
I reached out with both hands like a crazy person.
Flap, flap!
This was an exit to go back ho.
Eunseo.
Pow!
A strong shock struck my body. I couldnt even groan.
Chhh, rustle! I brutally fell into a soft pile of maple leaves.
I could sll the thick stench of blood and the fragrance of flowers. I could also hear the man breathing heavily.
The man who slamd against with his body to break a wing, was looking down at with a gaze full of anger and a sense of betrayal.
His orange eyes were the last things I saw as I beca unconscious.
Sorry
I wasnt trying to hurt you. I whispered to him. Then everything beca dark.
Translators Comnts
Theres no place like ho.
