The crack mana stone is a purple crystal about two meters long, and looking inside, I felt as if I could hear people screaming.
"All I have to do is break this thing down.….”
"But Alsia. Something's fishy."
"Why don't we have any demons around us?”
At the suspicion of the elves, Farrow jumped and shook his hand.
-Different forces fight and fight in the horse world, but the purpose of expanding the territory to the middle is the same. Besides, Diaki is busy negotiating because Mana Stone, the first to succeed in breaking the breach, is here.
While listening to the story, Jae-ho suddenly wondered.
"Isn't the forest of Liesel directly connected to the world of horseback? But you don't have to insist on this place.”
- It was pierced by the king himself, and it is also geographically disadvantageous. Because the sea is everywhere.
"What?"
The Lieselan forest that I thought would be stuck in the corner of the continent until now.
Butde Island?
"That's right. The Liesel Forest is a huge island in the northwest of the continent."
The elves nodded at Jae-ho's expression demanding an explanation.
"There he was protecting the gods."
"Not at all...... I didn't know."
Only then did I realize why the demons failed to make proper inroads into the continent.
But at the same time, there was another question.
"Then the crack in the Blue Mountain Island doesn't mean much, does it?"
-Hmm?
bewildered Farrow's question
-This crack... ... Is it connected to the island?
Farrow seemed to have no idea.
"What? You really didn't know?"
Jae-ho said absurdly.
"You've been attacking steadily all this time, why don't you know that?”
-He, he's the only one on the attack, so...….
In addition, it was largely due to its ignorance of the goal of a place where instinctively strong sacredness and vitality can be felt.
-Then... even if we win, eventually...….
"You have to cross the sea."
Farrow was greatly staggered by the shocking fact.
Do you really think his main army knows this?
But there was no way to deliver this now.
Already he has dragged Jae-ho and his elves to the crack mana stone, and has chosen to be the head of a snake rather than the tail of a dragon.
"Oh, Farrow. I have another question.”
Before breaking the crack mana stone, Jae-ho asked him just in case.
"Is there any way to solve the curse imposed on the people of Blue Mountain Island?"
-Curses? Did Diaki get it himself?
"Yes. I wish I could handle that."
-It's impossible. It's Diaki's power. It's not something a mid- to low-level demon like me can do.
"Is there any chance that it will be resolved by asking for dialogue?”
―…….
"That's a little..."
"Hey, do you call that a horse?"
"You're coming to kill him, aren't you?
Except for the Elf, everyone had the same reaction.
"Well, I didn't expect it either."
Jae-ho neatly folded his lingering feelings.
Unfortunately, there was no real solution to the situation of the people on the island.
"And another. Do you know anything about Paira or Calito?"
-......of course. A demon aristocrat like my lord Diaki. Among them, they are called the Great Evil, the highest rank.
Naturally, classes were also divided among the devil aristocrats.
It was not much different from the aristocracy of the continent, and the usually spoken great demons all refer to the great demonic exploits.
And there was the devil king, king of all demons.
I understand, however, that the king has not been able to wake up until now after suffering a severe blow in the past from the battle against the divine tree.
In other words, the greatest powers that support the current world are the Grand Duke.
-My main forces are the Grand Duke of Natai, the Grand Duke of Calito is greedy, and the Grand Duke of Paira is arrogant. And... ...
"There must be four more."
Jae-ho said as if he was expecting it.
-You got it right.
And Farrow acknowledged it.
"But what the hell does sloth have to do with the curses he's using to the people of the island now?”
A curse that eats away at life seems to have nothing to do with laziness.
-Hmm? What a terrible idleness? It slowly dries to death what can be killed early.
“???”
The sound was totally incomprehensible by human standards.
-In addition to the cracks that are actually pierced now....I know the Lord is not very interested. I just think it's good for business.
"What? But why are you so madly changing your forces?"
-......it's......hmhmmmm......... the Lord is probably... You're the Grand Duke of laziness, so... I was so bored because you didn't have an accident...….
"......huh?"
-So the generals asked the Lord for permission... I'm just having fun.….
"......what, uh... Yeah. Okay."
Well, they'll come back to the middle world, and the dead demons will be revived.
"Well, that's enough about Diaki... Do you happen to have a calitone or a pie? Especially, is the place where Paira lives far from here? I have a little bad relationship with him."
-There's only a few Grand Dukes on the Continent, and the best of them was the Grand Duke of Paira. But when I met you, I was completely robbed.I've heard that all the bases for... have been lost.
It's funny to think about it, but Farrow even smiled.
-Princess Phaira's estate is closest to here. But you don't have to worry. You'll never know if you've come over to the world of witchcraft.
"He warned me he was coming for the weapon."
- Weapon?
To Parrow's question, Jae-ho took out the pyra's firework and showed it.
Then, Parrow's face turned pale in an instant.
-He,he,he,he,he,it!
He suddenly took out his weapon and started pounding on the crack mana stone in front of his eyes.
-Boo, break it!!! Break it down quickly!!!
"What is it? What's wrong?"
-You crazy bastard!! You should have told me earlier if you were holding that!!! Let's break it down and run!!! Otherwise, Paira will show up!!
Given this urgency, he seemed to be quite close.
"Hey, wait, wait! It's good to break it down, but if we break it down first, can we escape?”
Pagjak-
Finely cracked mana stone in the fierce attack of the parrot.
-Oh.
Then a sigh of Parrow came out one step later.
* * *
Fortunately, the crack mana stone was not completely broken.
However, the situation has weakened to the point where it can be broken when someone touches it.
"Well... power is a trade."
Jae-ho, who looked away at Farrow, quickly began to discuss it.
a situation in which a pyra may come in at any time
Last time, Jae-ho was beaten by Jae-ho as he tried to force his way into the middle world, and his power was greatly weakened.
But Farrow said.
No matter how weakened it was, the title of Grand Duke was not earned for nothing.….
His guess was that Piira, who wields power without any restrictions in the world of horse racing, would be much stronger than then.
Jae-ho also thought he had a point.
"In fact, he's one of the most powerful men in the world, and he can't be caught already.’
But the way to deal with the crack mana stone......it was one after all.
Someone must stay and sacrifice!
Suu-
Farrow is the one who draws everyone's attention.
―?
He retorted as if he were dumbfounded.
-You want me to be tortured here forever? Can you trust me to destroy the Mana Stone in the first place?
"Chet."
In that case, one of Jae-ho's party, or Lim Morelian, had to sacrifice.
I don't know what the resurrection point would be if he died.
'But it's better than sacrificing the Elves.’
The moment you decide and talk like that.
Tang--
StroAnn drew attention by hitting a shield on the floor.
"This is where the Church of Anabolic remains."
“?!!”
Not one, but the whole church?
"Based on all the stories we've heard so far, we have no choice but to negotiate with Diaki to save the innocent people on the island of Blue Mountain."
"You can't say..."?
They nodded heavily at embarrassed Jae-ho.
"That's like suicide. You don't even know how strong your opponent is. This is not the continent, it's the Magye, it's the enemy all over!"
Despite Jae-ho's dissuasion, they were adamant.
"Someone has to do it!"
"No... what are we going to be if you guys suddenly step up like this?….”
"Hoot. You don't have to feel guilty. That's what we wanted, and the continent still needs His Majesty Alsia. So don't worry and go!"
a determined voice
Chuck- Chuck-Chuck--
The priests of the Anabolic Church turned their backs on Jaeho in unison.
a determined back that he would not listen to any more stories
"......let's go."
Jae-ho eventually respected their choice.
And promised to repay their outstanding spirit of sacrifice and willpower.
"The first denomination to enter the garden of Elisia......I'll make it an anabolic."
* * *
Jae-ho and his party ran as fast as possible.
It was because the remaining Anabolic church promised to break the crack mana stone if it sent a signal just before the crack went out.
gu gu gu gu gu-gu-
"Hmm? Can't you hear anything?"
The sound of the earth crying.
Turning his head slightly, Jae-ho found a giant flame giant far beyond the horizon.
Somehow you look familiar...….
-Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Jae-ho turned his head and never looked again.
-You damn bastard!! I saw everything! I saw all the eye contact!
"He's calling me so desperately.”
"Pretend you didn't hear."
Jae-ho replied to the dakist's words.
It's a long way off anyway, and there's a chance...….
[Faira's immense anger shakes the earth.]
[You are now in the Witch.]
[Firea's influence increases tenfold.]
'Woman, ten times?!’
an enormous level of puffed rice
I had a strong feeling that I would be robbed if I fought with determination.
"Run!"
A crack in the distance.
Courr-
"Dear Alsia!!!"
“?!!”
Suddenly the surroundings brightened, and the elves called Jae-ho and warned him.
You can't turn away from me anymore.
"Huck?!!"
A flame ball that looks like the sun, made on the head of a pyra.
It was about to be thrown at Jae-ho and his party.
'It doesn't make sense to stop it! It's too big for that.…!’
Even the elves can't find a way to respond!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-
A beautiful and noble melody that suddenly resonates from the sky.
"Oh, the Anabolic Church...…!!”
Where they remain to guard.
The strong light that began there has become the figure of a giant almost as big as a pie.
Beautiful, holy, muscular upper body!
The faceless light giant showed off his biceps and reached out to the pyra's fireball.
I have witnessed the incarnation of God Anabolic!
[Witness at the scene of the great myth.]
[Anabolic's grace comes down.]
[Increases force by 50.]
[Increases stamina by 50.]
"Hwasin?"
I don't know what it is, but I know it's great.
The light giant, facing the huge fireball thrown by Paira, struggled for a long time and lifted it up and tore it apart.
-Ee, this energy......?! Anabolic!!! It's your Anabolic!!! How dare you know where we are!!!
"Mrs. Alcia! We have to go!!”
But I couldn't wait any longer.
At the urging of the elves, Jae-ho eventually turned his head and threw himself into a crack.
-Argh!!! You bastards!!!
beep-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-
And after the last Elf fired a flare, he left the world.
* * *
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The surrounding landscape that has changed again.
Jae-ho confirmed that he had returned safely to the island of Blue Mountain.
I can't believe it!
Soon after, the cracks were all twisted and then disappeared.
“…….”
For real... ...the Anabolic Church remained in the Magic Circle.
Can they really survive there safely?
The scene I saw just before the escape was certainly phenomenal, but it certainly wasn't possible the whole time.
'Still......'
Jae-ho closed his eyes and bowed his head.
one's own act to honor their noble sacrifice
Not only the team members, but also the elves who grind their teeth, paid silent tribute.
[Anabolic Church will find you.]
So the last alarm of the Anabolic Church came to mind and disappeared.
"......let's go."
Now I was going to go back to port and sail straight out.
Jae-ho and May were both absent, so it was better to return as soon as possible.
-Finished. It's all taken care of here.
-Huh? You're back already? You closed the crack?
-Yeah. You're still on the harbor side, right?
-Uh... ..yes, but...….
a somewhat awkward answer
-There's been some accident here.
-Accident?
-Now... Pudok and Lenium are running crazy.
