Lord of the Skill

Life.

Tsk... tsk... tsk...

Tadahak...

There are traces of a large hole in the battlefield, as if a meteorite had fallen.

Inside, you see numerous small holes, like a honeycomb.

It was a section of the tunnel that was all connected.

“This... is literally a seizure. ”

Choi Hyuk-soo looks at the underground passageway that has been dug out like a giant's fist.

“The Lord did this alone? ”

“Yes.”

“ ……. ”

In his words, Chang was silent as if he had lost his words.

At the Devil's Front, the ravens moved to the Elven Front and the band led by the Stone of Power moved to the Horse Front.

At the time of the military's disappearance, additional troops were soldiers from the Northern Seven Kingdoms.

Although Sue was only a few million troops, they were virtually helpless against the demons, consisting of only indigenous people.

Furthermore, the only remaining troops on the front line were the Southern tribes led by Ordo Chang, making the situation worse.

Ordo Chang, who held the line, was suspicious of sudden troop movements, but expected a reason to confirm that Hyuk-soo Choi directly participated in the Demon Front.

But…….

I never imagined it would come to this.

“What about the Demons?”

“The tunnels were all destroyed before the core was completed, so we should consider them virtually extinct. ”

“I have won……" ”

“That's right.”

I didn't feel any joy in their conversation. Even though the wire that caused so many casualties collapsed and the enemy disappeared.

“Ordo, how long has the Northern Five been on the front lines? ”

“It's been about two months on the front lines, but it's been about a month since the tunnels were created and the real battles started. ”

There was another man by his side.

Benquis Bernstein, the leader of the Seven Kingdoms in the North.

“Damage?”

“About 70,000 soldiers died. The wounded will be over 200,000. ”

“That was before the outsiders got out. ”

“Of course.”

Ordo's spear turns its head.

Why are you asking me that?

Benquis Bernstein looks down at the giant pit and shakes his head.

“It's only been a week since the foreign troops moved and we've been deployed. The forces of the Seven Kingdoms in the North lost 50,000 men in that short time. ”

He shrugs lightly.

“Despite the lack of outsider support, it was devastating. ”

“So? Death in war is natural. I didn't know the leader of a country could get mixed up in something like that. ”

“That's not what I meant. ”

Ordo Chang says so, but I can see what Benquiz is trying to say.

“Funny, isn't it? 70,000 to the south and 50,000 to the north. More than 100,000 troops have been lost and more than a hundred ships have been wounded and not a single tunnel has been breached. ”

“ ……. ”

“The wedges you received were only fitted properly after the forced heat. It would have taken more than three times the sacrifice without him. ”

He points to a large hole.

“Only one man ended such a battle. The balance of power, the balance of war, is something to be completely ignored. ”

They were silent.

“We marched here ready to lay down our lives. He did something with my life that I couldn't even live with. ”

Benquist Bernstein robs his hands and says,

“I find our angles ridiculing. ”

“Don't be stupid. ”

It was then.

Choi Hyuk-soo, who was listening to him, finally opened his mouth.

“…… what? ”

“I don't know what you mean by that. The battle for your life ended in vain with the appearance of the commander? ”

Benquist Bernstein's eyebrows twitch at his words.

“Or do you resent me for making you fight here without any outsiders? ”

“…… That's not what I meant. ”

Choi Hyuk-soo said to him.

“It's all for a reason. I'm not trying to drive you to your death. Without the Seven Kingdoms in the North, the Humans would not be able to win the war, not in this battle. ”

“ ……. ”

“Ravens are needed to carry out a mission to get the Elves out of the Node, and the Red Flame, one of the Four Horsemen, cannot strike unless it is the power of the Stone of Stones. It was imperative that the two units move. ”

Despite his description, Benquist Bernstein still had an unfavorable look in his eyes.

After all, what was left of him who had to carry tens of thousands of lives as the head of his country, as Hyuk-soo said, was death.

“Then what is this place? You told us to fight the devil's army. If you want to paint a big picture of victory in the War of the Races like you said...... Have you given up fighting the Demons? Or are we shields for outsiders? ”

Hyuk-soo Choi slightly raises his mouth in Benquis Bernstein's question. It's because he finally revealed what he was hiding inside.

“You're a good chief. ”

It wasn't a compliment for the elderly, but Hyuk-soo nodded, looking at him.

“Ordo Chang, you would know the nature of the commander. Do you think the commander will make an indigenous person his shield? ”

“No.”

Ordo answered Choi Hyuk-soo's question without hesitation.

He replied naturally, but Benquis didn't seem to understand.

“…… how do I affirm that? ”

“No wonder you think that. It's not just my dictatorship. The commander consulted me before going to the Spirit Realm. ”

“Do you mean the plan of forced heat? ”

“Yes.”

Choi Hyuk-soo nodded.

“Mayhem. It was the commander's idea that he would not be able to end the race war if he persisted. ”

“No way…. ”

“Why do you think there is no support for outsiders? The war ended before any of the lines. There was an army more powerful than any army. ”

Benquist Bernstein loses his words to Hyuk-soo Choi.

The strongest enemy.

It was because I could understand who it meant at once without having to explain who it meant.

“The commander said to get the rest of the troops out of here because he's confident they'll be back. ”

At Hyuk-soo Choi's words, Benquis Bernstein stares at him, swallowing himself dry.

“And I came back as if to see. by being able to go beyond human space and even deal with disasters. ”

In fact, it was unexpected for Choi Hyuk as well.

I can't believe the heat I thought would return by simply gaining the power of two great deserts would absorb the power of disaster.

‘I wonder what happened in the Spirit Realm. How could you... ’

The nightmare in Trammel remained so vivid I didn't want to think about it.

One by one, I questioned whether he had reached the realm of God, not just to prevent a disaster called God's Judgment and Curse, but to control it.

“He thought this was the victory that would save the most people, not share the weight of their lives. ”

“ ……. ”

“You got here because you didn't distinguish between an indigenous and an outsider. Trust me a little bit. You'll find it harder than anyone else. ”

Benquist Bernstein was unable to deny Choi Hyuk-soo's words. At first, he was also envious of the enormous power of inferiority.

However, all power required responsibility and payment.

Because the power that had surpassed the limits that he could bear was no longer the object of envy, but the object of fear.

“Forced fever?”

“As soon as you wiped out the Demon army, you went to the Horse Front. Once this place is cleared up, we'll head that way, too. ”

Benquist Bernstein nods at his words.

“What are you going to do? ”

“…… I never said I wouldn't fight him. ”

He also knew that his words were merely a mouthful.

Just…….

Even though the power of the overpowering heat seemed to be unwavering, there was only one fear he felt after seeing it firsthand.

It's unlikely, but if his sword is directed at an ally instead of an enemy...... I feel anxious.

Benquist Bernstein thought he had to watch the struggle to see it firsthand.

He said in a loud voice.

“Let's go.”

* * *

“Kuhahahaha!! Push!! Push!! ”

You hear laughter on the battlefield.

Trobjon shouts, manipulating the golem army over the shoulder of his golem, Anderus.

Seeing the demons being pushed under his feet, he joyfully breathed smoke into the pipe on the door.

“Overwhelming. The horsemen, they're just sitting around as soon as their headquarters collapses." Haha, this is so easy, I have nothing to say. ”

He looks at his golem squad on the front and says with a confident look.

“What do you think? Not bad, huh? We've upgraded the core of the tunnel you acquired from the Devil Front. If it weren't for the Lord, I wouldn't have been able to make that. ”

The rest of the golems, with the exception of Anderus, have a black core embedded in their chest.

Every time you kill a demon, your core lights up strangely as if it's absorbing their power.

Trovyon, who was on the Devil's Front, says the battle of the Unsullied is still alive.

“Leave it to me when the Horse chieftain appears. I'm going to show you the power of this guy. ”

“ ……. ”

However, unlike the man described above, the feeble man standing on Anderus' shoulders looks at him quietly with his arms folded.

[You must have been confused in the fight with the Demons. That the War of Races doesn't just end with admitting defeat and surrendering.]

Diago's voice strikes the ear of infinity.

But he just stared at you with a stiff look, as if he couldn't hear anything.

[Only the death of the chief. It's the only way to end the race war. Foul play. The demons and the Nephilim held hands in the beginning, but they have been at each other's throats since the beginning. After all, if there were two factions left, they would have fought to kill themselves.]

“ ……. ”

So what are you going to do?]

Black smoke passes through the heatless body.

It was only the half-bodied energy in his eyes.

[Chief Ironbar, the only ally of the Humans, and your loyal volunteer. Does he know that you have TroBjorn's life, too?]

At Diago's words, the fever slowly turns its head.

“What's the matter? ”

TroBjorn stares helplessly at what seems strange.

“It's nothing. ”
