Capítulo 1028: Chapter 907: Sanctuary from the World
Outside the royal capital.
Just like yesterday, this place is still filled with lines of defense constructed by the Knight Order, and groups of refugees coming from all directions.
The figures of Refined Demons appear from ti to ti, so at any mont in certain corners outside the capital, you might hear the sounds of knights clashing with these demons.
The snow keeps falling, covering the ground in white, but soon so places are stained with startling red.
Today, like always, the royal capital spent the day in both preparation for battle and in defense against the Refined Demons, likely unchanged for the foreseeable future.
Except for a very few, no one knew that today, the Hero responsible for defending the royal capital left silently.
“Swish!”
With the faint sound of slicing through the air, Shane’s figure appeared in the outskirts a certain distance from the royal capital.
He turned his head and glanced at the capital.
“I hope that when I return, everything here will remain safe and sound.”
Shane thought silently.
The city now is no longer an unfamiliar place to him.
Inside reside many of his friends, acquaintances, and even his loved ones.
For this reason alone, Shane could not ignore its safety.
“If the from more than half a year ago, when I just ca to this world, knew about this situation, I would surely have complex feelings.”
Shane couldn’t help but smile wryly and reminisce.
Back then, just having arrived in this Otherworld, Shane was unfamiliar with everything, showed little interest in anything, and only wanted to quietly develop in the shadows, find an opportunity to assassinate the Demon King, fulfilling his summoned mission, and then hide his achievents and fa, starting a second life free from any constraints in this world.
Who would have thought that everything would unfold so unexpectedly?
He still rembers how complex his feelings were when he first learned that the Demon King had already been vanquished and that Heroes were no longer needed in this world.
But now, not only does he have attachnts in this world, he has also erged as a Hero, becoming renowned throughout the realm, known by all.
All of this has transpired in less than a year.
“Surely, no one else who has transmigrated to an Otherworld has managed to accomplish so much in just a year, right?”
Of course, if one must argue, a certain eternal elentary school student certainly qualifies for such prestige.
The series extends beyond a thousand episodes, yet the character remains in the fifth grade. This year seems so extended it’s enough to break through the dinsional wall.
However, he didn’t transmigrate to another world; he rely shrank in size, right?
There’s no comparison…
“Forget it. Why am I thinking so much?”
Shane shook his head, halting his habitual train of thought, and took one last look at the royal capital.
“With Lidas, Anima, Lilith, and Luoqi stationed here, coupled with the support of You Lin, rica, Tielle, and Vivian, even if new Primordial Demons launch a massive invasion, the capital will be safe and sound.”
Shane reassured himself, then turned his gaze north.
“I’ll go and fully do what I want to do.”
With that, Shane gave a carefree smile, no longer feeling lancholy or sentintal, and perford an instant movent, leaving the place.
His destination was clear, and not unfamiliar.
About half a year ago, he went there and brought Lilith back from there.
The seam of the world is at that place.
To the north of the royal capital, at the border city of the Duke Sterling’s domain, which borders the Ragna Empire—Cosmos.
That is Shane’s destination for this journey.
…
At the sa ti, in an unseen secret realm, a Beastman was walking along a sowhat chilly corridor.
The Beastman, clad in heavy, crude black armor, covered in fur, with only a single eye on his face, was exuding a presence that was less wild and more demonic.
Every step made by his iron boots heavily struck the floor, producing a weighty thudding sound, giving bystanders a sense of oppressive pressure.
The Beastman, however, was indifferent to this, wearing a reckless expression while striding through the cold corridor.
Finally, he arrived in front of a room.
“Bang!”
Without any hesitation or pause, the Beastman forcefully pushed open the door before him.
“Ugh…”
Inside the room, a startled sound suppressed into a whimper was heard from soone caught off guard.
The Beastman seed to relish this sound, entering the room with a reckless cold smile.
Inside, there was only one Beastman tribe girl, clad in a vestnt robe made of fur, with fox ears and tail.
“I’ve co to see you again, Holy Maiden.”
The Beastman looked at this Foxman girl before him, his tone softening.
Yet his expression remained fierce, combined with his chilling single eye, not only preventing anyone from feeling his tenderness but also sending shivers up their spine.
At least, that was how it felt for Iris.
The timid foxman girl, who was naturally quite frail, instinctively stood up from the bed and stepped back several paces as she watched the beastman king barging in unrestrainedly.
“You… You go!” Iris mustered her courage and shouted, “I don’t want to see you!”
After all, the beastman in front of her was not only a betrayer of the Human Race but also an insidious person who ambushed them when they ca to rescue the beastman tribe, capturing them all.
As expected, since he was insidious, he wouldn’t be intimidated by Iris’s shout.
“But I want to see you, Holy Maiden.” Gewura feigned innocence and said, “I specifically prepared this room for you so you could leave those dark, endless dungeons. No one else receives such treatnt; shouldn’t you be grateful to ?”
“Grateful to you?” Iris was furious, unable to hold back and shouted, “You’re the reason we ended up like this!”
“No!” Gewura grinned and said, “I am saving you, rescuing you foolish divine practitioners and believers from the hands of the Divine Race!”
This shaless claim made Iris’s whole body start trembling.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t find many words to refute.
It’s not that she didn’t want to refute; she just didn’t know how.
She knew that she and the other were people on parallel lines, destined never to intersect. No matter how much she said, the other would only dismiss it.
So, Iris could only use her own ans to weakly retaliate against Gewura.
“Don’t think you can keep being so smug!” Iris glared at Gewura and said, “By capturing us, capturing the beastman tribe, and opposing the world like this, you will be avenged eventually!”
“Is that so?” Gewura seed to ignore Iris’s glare; he even perversely glanced at her, his gaze full of greed as he said, “Unfortunately, before I face revenge, you’ll beco mine.”
“You…!” Iris felt a shiver in her heart, her body starting to turn cold.
It wasn’t the first ti she heard Gewura say sothing like this.
The reason Gewura treated her specially, allowing her to leave the dungeon and have her own room while enjoying good food and drink, was because she was his prey.
“I’ve been watching you for a long ti, Holy Maiden.”
Gewura slowly walked toward Iris.
“You are an exceptionally rare foxman within the beastman tribe, both an envoy of the Life Goddess and our beastman tribe’s Holy Daughter. Born into a high status, you are considered the number one beauty among our beastman tribe.”
“Many consider you a sacred existence that cannot be defiled. Even if all beastn longed for and admired you, they wouldn’t dare to openly pursue you.”
“Unfortunately, I am not among them.”
Gewura smirked.
“Even before seeing you, just hearing of your existence, I decided that one day I would have you beneath .”
“As the Life Goddess’s envoy and Holy Daughter of the beastman tribe’s priest group, conquering soone like you should be very gratifying, right?”
“Moreover, you are extraordinarily beautiful, and being a foxman, you qualify as my companion.”
“Not only would it be revenge against the high and mighty Goddess, but getting soone as beautiful as you, with such a special status, ans once you beco mine, the entire beastman tribe should obediently listen to and honor as king, right?”
“So, I’ve long been waiting for this day to co.”
As he spoke, Gewura stretched his hand toward Iris.
“Don’t co any closer!”
Iris had already retreated to the wall. Seeing Gewura’s hand reaching toward her, she finally let out a cry that sounded like she was about to break into tears.
At that instant, an anomaly occurred.
“Boom!”
The magic power around Iris suddenly beca chaotic.
This wasn’t Iris’s own magic power.
Iris’s magic power had been incapacitated and could no longer be assembled.
The chaotic force belonged to the magic power in the atmosphere.
The magic power in the atmosphere suddenly beca chaotic without any warning, unleashing an astonishing blast of shock waves that hit Gewura.
“Bang!”
Gewura was fiercely blasted away, crashing into the room’s wall, shattering the wall.
“Damn it! It’s this damn magic power again…!?”
Gewura let out a pained angry roar.
These days, it wasn’t the first ti Gewura attempted to lay hands on Iris, only to be blasted away by the sudden chaotic atmospheric magic power each ti.
“Why? Why is this happening? Clearly, this woman’s magic power has been bound! Her blessings should be suppressed by the environnt here!”
Gewura shouted crazily while freeing himself from the wall’s rubble.
He couldn’t understand why the atmospheric magic power here would protect Iris, the Life Goddess’s blessing bearer.
Isn’t this the world’s seam?
Isn’t this the wound left on the world by the Demon King?
Isn’t this supposed to suppress the Goddesses of all Divine Race here?
Then why does even this world turn against ?
Gewura’s face twisted with confusion that he couldn’t unravel.
Unbeknownst to Gewura, his inadvertent thought was actually correct.
This situation was indeed caused by the world turning against him.
