Present. South Field of Crossroad. Under Night Bringer’s feet. “…” Lucas, having heard that I am now a mix of the fake Ash and the real Ash… of ‘Prince’ and ‘Lord’, hesitated, unsure of how to react. Maybe it was the side effect of beastification and using the cursed sword, but his expression was off….

The last memory I had was the moment my chest was pierced for the second time by Night Bringer. Dusk Bringar calmly explained what had happened after that. With her support, I stood up and looked around blankly. “…So, you came all the way here to find me yourself?” A world within the ice. Inside…

24 hours ago. Nameless, Dusk Bringar, and Ash had just fought a decisive battle against Night Bringer. “Hah, hah, hah!” Nameless breathed heavily. She shot all the light remaining in her soul at Night Bringer. It was a strike with all her might, but Night Bringer barely twisted his body to avoid it. Even though…

Lucas couldn’t move. In fact, he hadn’t come here expecting to win from the start. He never thought he could defeat this mighty foe. He just wanted to pierce this monster’s heart with his sword and inflict as much pain as possible. Just as his master had bled, he wanted this monster to experience the…

A little while ago. Southwest of Crossroad. Observation Tower. “Thank goodness, we blocked the breath attack…” Damien let out a sigh of relief. He had watched the breath defense process with extreme tension, and fortunately, Crossroad had endured safely. Damien had also continuously attempted long-range sniping to block the breath attack, but the distance was…

The initial reason Scalian took an interest in Violet was simple. Among the humans who participated in the Last War of the Mortal Realm, this great expedition, she was the most ‘unsuited for this war.’ Illusionist Violet. True to her title as a magician who dealt with illusions, she was essentially a liar. To herself,…

The breath attack struck directly against the shield. Kwooooosh! The iron frame and nails holding the shield in place melted away in an instant, and Torkel clung desperately to the shield’s handle with both hands. “Aaaaaaah-!” Although there was no damage due to the activation of his ultimate skill, the pain was vivid.

Southwest of Crossroad. Newly assigned to the observation tower, Damien frowned as he climbed the stairs toward the top of the tower. “Hmm?” A flash of light flickered far to the south, shrouded in damp darkness. ‘Light?’ Damien squinted and examined the area.
