Chapter 316: Storna’s Message
Three harvesters, praised for their high status among the harvesters, gathered together.
The prophet Tarunem said:
“Iron Fist has died.”
“what?”
The lightning keeper, Cresak, asked in surprise.
“Ha, it hasn’t been that long since I invited him to be my training partner.”
“You did something like that? No, what kind of outrage is this, taking such a talented person away from the front lines and using him as your training partner?”
“It was necessary.”
“If you put it that way, it might be more necessary for me to use the archmages?”
The thunderbolt Cresak made a displeased expression at the growl of the predator Beshra.
Tarunem intervened before he could explode.
“This matter also concerns the Duke of Cresac. The one who killed Ironfist was Mord the Soulstealer.”
“I thought so. We lost such a valuable talent. He must have been a talented person who had become careless in his previous life, so he must have had a fiery desire to improve and genius… … .”
Cresac sighed.
Beshirra touched her forehead.
“Ah, it really is getting more and more amazing the more I go. Shouldn’t we do something about the soul stealer? The fall of Heilongpo proved that he is hopeless in the face of numerical violence, and it is even more so now that Jin-eun’s whale shark is gone.”
“That Jin-eun’s whale shark’s name is Rotendar.”
Tarunem intervened.
“Rotendar? Wasn’t that… the name of the apostle of Pesceita?”
Beshra was well-versed in both the Southern and Eastern Continent myths, so she knew the name of Rotendar.
Tarunem nodded.
“Yes, Rotendar was the weapon that Pesceita had entrusted to them.”
“I see. So that’s why it was so powerful? Well, it had to be at least that powerful to hunt my overlord.”
Beshra smiled, showing his teeth. As a weapons developer, his blood was boiling.
“Anyway… I think now that Rotendar is gone is their chance. They are certainly strong, but they have their limits.”
“Have you forgotten how he went on a rampage right after losing that Rotendar?”
“Of course I know. You, Cresac, came forward as if you were a master, and then you were destroyed and even lost your sanctuary. A harvester without a sanctuary. Oh, how pitiful.”
“… … .”
A huge energy began to stir from Cresac’s body.
But Beshir just looked down at him arrogantly as if to tell him to do whatever he wanted.
“Oh, you two, please stop. My servants put a lot of effort into the drawing room, so wouldn’t it be sad if it ended up like this?”
When Tarunem tried to stop him, Besira shrugged and backed away. However, even if he could suppress his anger and disgust, he couldn’t suppress his curiosity and asked a question.
“But why on earth did you call Iron Fist as your training partner? You’re a lightning-quick guy.”
“What does that have to do with me being a lightning bolt?”
“The spirits of the past Lightning Guardians are inside you, right? And in the Lightning Guardians’ inner world, they are no different from real people. So, wouldn’t just training against them inside you be far more effective than training against weak opponents in reality?”
“… … .”
Cresak glared at her, for Besira knew the secret of the Lightning Keeper all too well.
She shrugged.
“The Flame Keeper and Water Keeper of Ulthuan and the Lightning Keeper of Kurum have the same origin. Naturally, if you know about the Flame Keeper, you will also know about the Lightning Keeper.”
“You’re not even a member of the Ulthuan gods… … .”
“When it comes to pursuing the truth, origin or affiliation has no bearing.”
“Ha, I really don’t like you, but I like what you say.”
“Crashak said with a laugh.
“Yes, I have the legendary Lightning Strikers inside me and I can train with them. But the problem is that they are old-timers.”
“Aha. Since they are fixed in the past and cannot develop, they need to get new stimulation from other external beings?”
“Yes.”
Cresak was annoyed by Beshirra’s quick understanding.
But he didn’t tell the whole truth.
‘Because even in a fully-fledged state, training experience is necessary.’
When you become a complete being with all of the past Lightning Guardians integrated into one, you cannot train against the spirits within you.
You need to find a training partner who can be a sufficient stimulus even when fighting against a complete group from outside. If not, you have no choice but to face them in a real match… … .
‘I’m sure. Mord, he’s used to dealing with the masters of Arta-Mare. Maybe even more experienced than I am.’
I don’t know how that’s possible.
However, he reached the level of Arta-Mare at the age of nineteen, and became a being of hope to all gods.
It wouldn’t be strange if we could accomplish something impossible.
‘It really hurts to lose Iron Fist. No one I could ask could have let me experience the extremes of unarmed combat like that… … .’
It was the experience I needed to deal with Mord, but I lost it forever.
Cresac clicked his tongue in regret at that fact.

The onslaught of the condemned was slowly suffocating Buknuri.
Prince Hanul, who had just unified the Southwest Province, was not even aware of the situation in the South, let alone the situation in the North.
If Prince Hanul had known all of this when he met Mord, he might not have been able to confidently say that he would unify Namnuri and rebuild Onnuri.
The situation was that desperate.
The northern front, connected to the continent by land, continues to be pushed back.
In the West Sea, some coastal cities have fallen into the hands of the condemned, and attacks from inland continue.
From the easternmost tip of the continent, jutting out further east than the Saebyeok Peninsula, the navy of the Condemned continues its offensive targeting the East Sea of Buknuri.
For reference, the three kingdoms of the Eagle Archipelago were also almost eaten by the Condemns and turned into sea bases for them to attack the North in three dimensions.
I don’t know if this will end there, but the problem became more serious after the West Sea Navy collapsed and the criminals took over the western coast of Namnuri.
This was because the condemned people, advancing inland from the west coast, were almost completing a grand strategy of physically severing the northern and southern regions.
The situation in Buknuri was truly dire.
“… That’s strange.”
The Emperor of the North, Iretisha Ha-eum, frowned.
“How did the Red Dragon survive this offensive?”
“Your Majesty, I am ashamed to say this, but shouldn’t you praise the bravery of the soldiers who defended Jeokryongpo?”
“Ah, it was Jim’s mistake. It is true. I will reward those who have done well.”
In response to his subordinate’s suggestion, Ha-eum instructed that each and every one of those who had made meritorious contributions be mentioned in the report and that they be rewarded.
The other ministers retreated, and only one, a handsome draconian man with a sharp expression, spoke again.
“But it’s really strange. I wasn’t supposed to make it past this month.”
“I knew it.”
His name is Lee Yeon-woo, and he has dark green shiny, curved dragon horns and green eyes.
He was a descendant of a famous noble family during the Onnuri Empire and a great sorcerer who was respected even by the emperor, a mythical being.
Ha-eum asked.
“What happened?”
“Their pressure has eased. This is limited to the west coast, though… … .”
Lee Yeon-woo was dispatched to Jeokryongpo, a port city on the west coast, because it was expected to collapse soon.
His mission was to turn the empty Red Dragon Cannon into a death trap while evacuating people, causing massive damage to the Convicts.
However, just by taking up a position in Jeokryongpo, he succeeded in defeating the condemned forces and reorganizing the defensive barrier there.
I would have been delighted if this had been a better outcome than expected.
But I was more embarrassed than happy because something happened that I had judged to have zero chance of happening and had not even expected.
“Wasn’t it foreseen?”
“There wasn’t. No, there might have been some fragments of the future with a very slim chance. But it would have been a waste to look into it that far… … .”
Ha-eum muttered with a serious expression.
This is the first time this has happened. Are you anxious because of an overly good result?
“I don’t know what the hell happened to those guys. The northern offensive is still going strong, but why has the western offensive slowed down?”
“I think we need to look into the situation in the South. Perhaps… there has been some change in the South?”
“It’s the south… … .”
There was a possibility.
“After defeating the Great Overlord Baekgyeong, they headed south.”
The North Nuri side knew that Mord’s party had entered the peninsula at dawn and headed to the South Nuri.
However, we do not have any specific information about their subsequent activities. This is because as the offensive against Buknuri intensified, there was no time to look into Namnuri.
Lee Yeon-woo asked.
“But won’t the intelligence start arriving soon?”
It’s not like the North Korean side is completely ignoring the situation in the South Korean side. They are sending spies to gather information.
However, from a certain point in time, it became extremely difficult to receive information from spies. This was due to the great suppression strategy of the condemned.
However, since this grand strategy of breaking up the wall between the East and the West has not been completed, spies will still be able to get through it somehow, even if they cannot send out illusions or information spirits. It just takes a long time.
“I hope so. But we can’t just wait for them to contact us, so try contacting the West Sea Dragon King Palace.”
The West Sea Dragon King Palace does not recognize Buknuri.
That is why their cooperation has been focused on the West Sea Navy, which has chosen to protect Namnuri so far.
There are also sea people living in the West Sea of Bukrnuri, so it’s not that they don’t cooperate at all, but their attitude is extremely cold.
If it’s something that happens in the West Sea of Buknuri, you might not know, but if you ask for information about the South, you’ll likely be ignored.
“All right.”
Still, it was something I couldn’t give up on without even trying.
Ha-eum’s gaze, which had been looking at him with his head down for a moment, suddenly turned to space. His pupils became unfocused as if he was dreaming.
“ah…….”
“your majesty?”
When Lee Yeon-woo was surprised and called out to him, Ha-eum raised her hand to stop him from approaching.
Lee Yeon-woo, who had been watching Ha-eum close her eyes for a moment and calm her mind, asked.
“Have you seen the prophecy?”
The more excellent a person’s foresight is, the more he or she can control his or her foresight to the area he or she desires.
However, no matter how excellent a precognitive person is, it is impossible to completely control the precognitive ability, so cases like this often occur unexpectedly.
“… It seems like a prophecy related to you.”
“yes?”
“It will be confirmed once we see it in detail again in Stargazing… but it seems that what I just saw is your blood relative.”
“That, that can’t be. Are you saying that there is anyone among my blood relatives who survived?”
Lee Yeon-woo, who was always cool and calm, lost his composure and stuttered.
It couldn’t be otherwise. His family was a prominent family in the capital city of Saekyungnare, and so when the previous Dragon Emperor, O-Yul, passed away, they were caught up in the disaster and were annihilated.
The reason Lee Yeon-woo survived the disaster was because he had been appointed as a local government official several years before and had been away from Saebyeoknarae.
He searched everywhere for decades after that, but was left in despair after discovering that his family was all dead.
“At least that’s what Jim has seen so far… … .”
“your majesty!”
Lee Yeon-woo bowed deeply and earnestly requested.
“I know that I should not ask for personal favors in a situation where the fate of the nation is at stake. However, I will sacrifice my life to achieve greater achievements, so please, please make the foresight you have just seen come true through Stargazing!”
“… … .”
Ha-eum looked at Lee Yeon-woo with eyes filled with regret.
As a great sorcerer, he is an indispensable talent to the North. This is especially true since Barenshien Seorim, who had crossed over to the Western Continent on an important mission, died, and one of his precious great sorcerers was lost.
Still, granting this request was not an easy task.
The North Nuri is feeling the approaching apocalypse firsthand, and Ha-eum’s foresight is a strategic resource to prevent the apocalypse.
Using the Stargazer to concretize one’s prophecy was like using a strategic weapon, so using it for personal reasons could be a huge problem.
Nevertheless, Ha-eum nodded.
“I will grant your request, Your Majesty.”
“Excuse me, is this true?”
“But as you know, it’s difficult right now. Until the opportunity comes, do something that everyone can nod their heads to.”
Lee Yeon-woo’s eyes were filled with a desperate determination.
“I understand. Even if it costs me my life.”
