Episode 718: For the Last End (3)
Helia and Arkenis, who were attacked by Salesin, fell onto the fortress.
Surna approached Helia with unsteady steps.
I wanted to head to where Arkenis was, but I decided to leave that to Ludger and Catherine.
When we finally arrived, Helia was lying on the ground with her back against the wreckage.
There was a large hole in her side, and blood continued to flow from the wound.
In a murky background where not even light falls.
Helia’s limp body covered in dust already looked like a corpse.
“Helia.”
At the time Surna muttered that, the wounded Helia smiled and disappeared as if melting in thin air.
Helia appeared next to him, looking fine as usual.
“braided! surprised?”
Helia said with a playful smile.
“It’s a lie!”
“you… … .”
Surna looked at Helia and was about to say something, but closed her mouth.
His only remaining eye was fixed on the wreckage where Helia had fallen moments ago.
Tuk-tuk.
Helia hit Surna on the shoulder.
“what. Did you come here because you were worried about me? I’m fine, so go take care of your girlfriend. “It looked like he was hurt a lot.”
“What about a girlfriend?”
“You’re funny too. “Why are you so embarrassed by coming all the way here?”
“… … I just don’t think I even deserve it. “It wasn’t even that kind of relationship to begin with.”
“Oh my, you were such a sweetheart. That’s enough, let’s go. Do you have time to fool around here? “After I recover, I’ll go back to pat that cheeky Seonghwang’s nose, so hurry up.”
“… … okay. I get it.”
When Surna nodded and answered, Helia was slightly confused.
“reel? Normally, I would have added something, but what makes you agree like that?”
“Because like you said, it’s not the time.”
“okay. “I’m glad you understand.”
“I am going. Helia.”
“okay. Good luck.”
Helia waved her hand at Surna.
As Surna walked past Helia, he stopped and looked at her.
“It was a pleasure being together so far. Bye. “My old friend.”
“… … .”
With those words, Surna took a precarious step again.
Helia continued to wave her hand at Surna’s back.
When Surna’s appearance became invisible, Helia’s image melted like watercolor.
And Helia, who had collapsed with serious wounds, reappeared.
The posture of leaning against the wreckage was the same one Surna had seen for the first time, covered in wounds.
Red blood was spreading further and further down Helia’s body.
“fool. “What if you say something like that on the way?”
Helia chuckled as she remembered Surna’s last greeting.
“iced coffee. Originally, I didn’t want to die. “This makes me want to live more.”
Helia raised her head and let out a sigh mixed with a smile.
The surroundings shook with a rumbling sound.
Soon a shadow appeared over Helia’s head.
Helia quietly closed her eyes as if sensing her fate.
Kwaaaaang!
A large piece of debris fell on Helia’s head and engulfed the surrounding area.

Ludger and Catherine checked Arkenis’ condition.
Although she was caught in Salesin’s attack and fell from a high place, there were no injuries on her body.
“Do not worry. “I’m fine.”
“But most of that power has now been lost.”
The last thing that protected Arkenis was the last remnants of her strength.
The brilliantly burning candle finally went out.
Now Arkenis does not even have a part of its original power.
The eyes beyond the fluttering corners of the eyes were brown.
The judgment eye that had been present since birth disappeared, and the original pupils were revealed.
“I’m not really sorry. Rather, thanks to this, I was able to buy time. Ah, but maybe I should have held on a little longer.”
“The saint has endured enough.”
Arkenis smiled faintly at Ludger’s words.
“Please don’t call me that. Because I have lost my strength now. “I am no longer a saint or anything.”
As if to prove that statement, Arkenis’ hair color was also changing.
They were brown like his own eyes.
Looking at her like this, she looks like a pretty country girl.
Considering the era in which she lived, this would not be wrong.
He must have been born somewhere, in a small but peaceful village.
He is a good child who follows his mother at work, helps her cook, and takes care of her siblings.
If she hadn’t had the decision, she would have definitely lived a normal life.
But the fate given to her was not like that.
Even under pressure that would have caused anyone else to break down a hundred or a thousand times, Arkenis has persevered.
Ludgar knew how difficult it was, so he paid his respects to Archenis.
Arkenis looked up at the sky.
“What now?”
Through the open ceiling, I saw the figure of Salesin slowly descending, scattering light.
Salesin’s energy was shining as if he would destroy all life in this fortress at any moment.
“It’s late.”
“no. “It’s not too late.”
“What is that… … ah.”
Arkenis let out an exclamation.
A harpoon flew from somewhere and pierced Salesin.
Most attacks bounce off the high-density divine power flowing through his skin.
If the attack was weaker, it could actually be erased from the divine power.
But that harpoon was different.
It penetrated through the divine power and became lodged in Salesin’s solar plexus by more than an inch.
The force of the throw was so strong that Salesin’s body trembled like a dove hit by an arrow.
Arkenis widened her eyes in surprise.
It is not a sword, an arrow, a spear, magic, holy law, or power; it is just a harpoon.
Wasn’t that a tool for catching fish?
Not only did he throw it at a person, even at the Holy Emperor, but it even caused him some damage.
An even more surprising thing happened next.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Lose!
The huge anchor chain attached to the end of the harpoon seemed to stretch and become taut.
The person who pulled it was a beastman with white hair like a lion’s mane.
Salesin’s body, which had been pierced by the end of the harpoon, was also pulled together.
Wow!
The red-eyed monster appeared out of thin air, cutting through the dark clouds, and trampled on Salesin’s body as if it were chopping him down.
The body of Salesin, shining white, fell vertically and landed in the center of the clearing that was the Galaharad Fortress.
The attack was so strong that Salesin’s body broke the floor several times and continued to fall.
Hans and Pantos joined the fight.
The moment the two chased after Salesin and were about to inflict additional damage, light erupted from the floor in the center of the clearing and Salesin jumped out unharmed.
“How dare you bastards.”
Salesin was furious that he had been attacked.
In just a moment, the harpoon fired by Pantos pierced his solar plexus, and he was struck by Hans’ kick.
One was a lowly beastman, and the other was a beast born from the filth of the world.
Salesin sees even humans as insects, but they are beings worse than such insects.
Salesin stretched out his hand to punish the creatures who dared to touch his body.
The light flowing from his right arm became stronger and headed towards Pantos and Hans.
If this continues, I will pierce those two out of thin air and turn them into corpses.
However, Salesin’s intentions were not realized as desired.
This is because the light he extended was consumed by darkness and disappeared.
“darkness?”
Salesin stared into the shimmering darkness with disbelief.
Darkness that eats light.
That couldn’t have been possible.
Darkness had to be weak to light. Because light was the truth that dispels darkness and illuminates all things.
But that darkness ate its own light.
It is not just the light of a paladin or a priest, but the light of a saint.
The darkness parted and a woman appeared within it.
“Who are you?”
A black-haired woman wearing a pink-toned outfit stared at Salesin with red eyes.
“I am Selina, a professor in Ceorn.”
At Selina’s side was a spirit swaying in the darkness.
Spirit of darkness. And fairy tales.
Salesn narrowed his eyes.
‘Humans have learned spirit fairy tales? I thought it disappeared in a distant era and is now only used by a few elves.’
The story would have been easier if he had assimilated with another spirit.
Spirits like fire, water, wind, and earth.
However, even Salesin had never heard of a dark spirit.
In the first place, it was questionable whether something called ‘darkness’ existed in nature.
Isn’t darkness just the absence of light, and doesn’t it exist as a form in itself?
However, even if we try to deny reality, it is a clear fact that dark spirits exist now.
Its very existence could be said to be blasphemous.
And since he dared to swallow his own light, his sin was even heavier.
Puff puff!
At that time, when Salesin frowned, a blue magical bullet flew towards Salesin along with the sound of a naval gun from afar.
In the midst of the precise bombardment aimed at only one person, Salesin frowned and asked what was happening this time.
My body was fine, but I felt dirty.
“We are here to help!”
“Captain! Are you safe?”
The Golden Monarch appeared through the dark clouds.
At the bow of the ship, Ambella stood majestically with her arms crossed.
Beyond that were the Monarch mercenaries and the Dream School wizards.
“under. “Those idiots.”
Caroline, who was struggling to get up from the rubble, laughed.
I told them to run away just in case, but those idiots came all the way here to help me.
And even Ambella Burke.
Caroline expressed her gratitude to Ambella with her eyes.
Ambella shook her head as if it was no big deal.
“Can I join in here too?”
With a voice full of leisure, a golden aura stabbed Salesin between the eyes.
Salesin immediately created a spear of light and targeted the opponent for a surprise attack, but the opponent noticed it right away and jumped lightly in the air, escaping like a rat.
The one who landed in the clearing, adjusting the fluttering cloak, was 1st Princess Eileen’s knight, Pacius.
“hmm. Everyone looks in bad shape. “Am I too late?”
Pacius muttered as he looked at the people scattered around the clearing.
Clinton and Luthus were also seen among them.
But I wasn’t worried. Because they too had come to their senses and were waking up.
“wake up?”
Salesin thought there was something strange about the people waking up one by one.
No matter how much Surna threw his body to stop it, there was no way it could have happened like that.
Salesin’s divinely powerful eyes immediately figured out the reason.
“The vitality of the world tree. Right. “Is this something the elves did again?”
Salesin did not like the World Tree very much.
The enormous vitality it possessed always created variables that were different from expectations.
So, 500 years ago, when the kingdom that was the predecessor to the empire learned that they were trying to cultivate a new world tree underground, didn’t they immediately send an army?
But the power of the World Tree on an island like this.
Salesin’s gaze followed the traces of power and turned to its source.
There was a brown-haired girl there.
The ears that appeared at first glance were longer than those of a human and shorter than those of an elf.
“Half elf.”
The child of a human and an elf.
However, that girl was also a contractor for the World Tree and a green wizard who controlled its power.
Sedina’s brown hair grew long.
The stretched part is not brown, but almost translucent silver.
The silver hair seeped into the ground and reacted with the plant seeds, causing them to quickly germinate.
Countless herbs grew, and Velaruna harvested them and used them to heal the wounds of the fallen.
Before we knew it, the people who had come to their senses were glaring at Salesin as one.
Salesin’s lips twitched.
Did they gain momentum just because a lot of bugs gathered together?
“Yes, it’s no use.”
But what is annoying is annoying.
To get rid of the most annoying bugs first, Salesin glared at Sedina.
“What are you trying to do?”
Ludger took the initiative and swung a sword stick imbued with magic towards Salesin.
“Your opponent is me.”
“You weak guy!”
Salesin drew the sword of light and countered Ludger’s sword stick. Ludger was thrown back due to the difference in strength.
The sword masters of the empire rushed towards Salesin.
The princess’s shadow, Fasius.
Guardian of the Empire, Terina Lionhowl.
Watcher of the North, Reinhard Kimbell.
Johann Okeas, ruler of the ocean.
The four sword masters who support the empire drew out their respective auror blades.
“You annoying bastards!”
Salesin slashed the sword of light horizontally.
A circle formed around him and the four masters flew away.
Alex and Pantos took the vacancy and attempted to kill Salesin.
The connection continues without giving you time to breathe.
Salesin this time created a shield of light in his other hand.
As the shield was raised, a large wave of light spread out, pushing Alex and Pantos away.
“Hahaha! “This is another interesting situation!”
At that time, Hwiron appeared with a loud laugh and threw his fist.
The fist-shaped magic power touched Salesin’s body and caused a series of explosions.
“I’ll help too!”
Royna Pavlini also arrived at the scene and fired magic, and Loteron, who had taken off his mask, also joined the battle.
Arkenis, who saw the scene, muttered as if she was surprised.
“Reinforcements have arrived? “How?”
The moment I stare at Ludger, wondering how this happened.
In the empty air, Rine appeared, leaping through space.
“brother! I brought more people! I think I brought everyone I needed to bring… … !”
Line noticed Arkenis and Catherine near Ludger and flinched.
“ah.”
