The Tower of Blessing had collapsed, and Ka-Guanil was trampling Le-Ganel. Guanil’s roar burned the soldiers of Rock. No one could stop Guanil’s power. Tanya was lying collapsed at the top of Arok’s Tower. She spoke with a dying voice: ‘You’re too late, Kassel.’ Rock’s walls had also crumbled. In front of the fallen walls,…

Aranthia. A woman stood in the central tower of the White Gate. Her long brown hair fluttered in the morning breeze from the east. Occasionally when sunlight reflected off it, her hair changed to golden or red. Few people knew her hair color changed from time to time, and almost no one knew it was…

Tanya spoke with her eyes closed to the person standing outside the door. “Come in.” With her senses heightened to the extreme, Tanya could tell who was outside even though the door was still closed. It was Rependas, the chairman of Grand Rock. He opened the door slightly and spoke from outside. “Master Tanya, you…

“Don’t die, Rai…” After sending Rai off, Kassel ran through the forest. The dragon’s roar could no longer be heard. Rai was fighting. He was fighting against a dragon that no human except a sorcerer could touch, facing a dragon revered as a god by all Lemifs, with just a single sword. Even knowing it…

The Mozes, who had been moving since the previous evening, finally gathered north of the Tower of Blessing. Counting from when the news of Kassel’s death, who had left with Rai at dawn yesterday, was announced, it had been nearly twelve hours of movement. Lofin firmly declared that everything the Lord of the Undying said…

Kassel was riding on Rai’s back. With each flap of Rai’s large wings, his body swayed, and the wind blowing from the high altitude was cold despite it being summer. Although he had ridden a dragon before and climbed Arok’s Tower, he was still afraid of heights. Shortly after parting with Tanya, the two had…

Irine quietly spread the news that Kassel had left at dawn. It was better for the soldiers not to know. Ruenmus also groaned for a while after hearing the news, then agreed to keep it a secret. He even insisted that other council members didn’t need to know and that as few people as possible…

An emergency council meeting was held in Rock at midnight. The council members were surprisingly calm. Considering how they initially panicked at the mere thought of facing monsters and dragons coming down from the Sky Mountains, their current response was remarkable. This composure wasn’t limited to just the council members. The soldiers guarding the Tower…

Rai was sitting on the roof, watching the movement of people inside the Dragon Knights’ building. He actually wanted to wander around Rock’s downtown or sightsee elsewhere, but he couldn’t get his bearings here. Just as humans can’t navigate using trees, Lemifs find it difficult to use buildings or roads as landmarks. The same was…

The work related to Rock’s defense accelerated. Kassel thought the citizens’ fear of the coming war would be great, given that there had been a major war a few years ago and a big incident recently. However, the councilors persuaded them and made them work even harder. Even Tanya, who used to curse them as…
