After Daria passed over to the Empire and rumors spread that I was friendly with the crown prince, there was no force that threatened him anymore, no royal family.

So, as long as he made up his mind, there was no case in which his work was blocked unless the king openly interfered.

And it was the same this time too.

My request was fulfilled in less than a day.

“Raymond.”

“Yes.”

“I heard that you applied for this unit selection.”

“Yes. It seems to have happened.”

“you… .”

Count Millennium stops talking and shuts up.

I asked as I looked at him sighing heavily.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Yes. A lot.”

A face that says a lot but doesn’t say anything.

It seemed like he knew what he wanted to say.

I guess I didn’t like what I was doing.

To be honest, I haven’t asked him for his opinion much of what I’ve done so far.

Instead of asking him, there were many things I decided on my own or did secretly.

I didn’t even have to ask.

I’m not a child, I’m an adult, so there’s no reason to ask him.

“There is no need to worry. There are things I have done so far.”

“worry? me, you? I need someone to do it. Do you suspect me of being crazy?”

I shrugged my shoulders when he said that it would be much more beneficial to study magic at that time.

Having been with me for a long time, he knew very well that I was not one to listen.

“There must be a reason why you go to war, and I don’t think you will die anywhere. Until this point, you have never been to a place where you would die.”

“Yes, what. Yes.”

“It will be the same this time. And you are not alone in this war.”

“… ?”

Millennium Earl did not answer my questions.

He says he will find out more details when he goes there, and tells him to go and see it then.

I shook my head, but didn’t ask him more.

Time passed again like that, and I was called out to the castle.

Knights gathered.

Five hundred soldiers and twenty knights.

It may seem a bit meager to see it as a reinforcement sent by Serion, who is said to be the second strongest after the Empire, but if you look at it from the inside, you can’t help but feel dissatisfaction.

‘Two masters attended, so everything was said.’

Arjuna basically participated, and mysteriously, Hamilton applied for the unit.

It was not requested by the royal family, but they participated voluntarily.

More precisely, he decided to lead the mercenaries separately and participate in the war.

Of course, he would get paid, but considering that the mercenary king was in charge, there was almost no difference between working for no pay.

It was to move the Master, but there was no way that could be possible with a small amount of money.

‘What the hell are you going to check?’

The reason why the mercenary king moved even though there was no benefit was purely me.

To know the reason why I came down from the South suddenly strong.

I was just embarrassed.

To him, it looked like I had gone down to the south and crossed the master’s threshold in half a year.

In half a year, which is not too long, I gained a lot of opportunities that other knights couldn’t get even in their lifetime.

It’s good to have questions because I came back with all the things I couldn’t get even if I lived a lifetime.

But he got the wrong number.

I think I get a chance wherever I go, but in reality it wasn’t.

It just happened that way by accident.

In other words, you’re very lucky.

To be honest, if I were told to do it again in that situation, I would not have the confidence to do it again.

Far from regaining the senses of that time, I wondered if I would not be able to withstand properly as an opponent of the chief and lose my neck.

‘Of course, if it was me then, the situation would be different now.’

The me then and the me now are different in many ways.

In terms of quantity and quality of Auras and sword skills, the current me was overwhelming.

It had no choice but to do so, now I had crossed the master’s threshold.

It wasn’t completely over, but I opened the door and took a step in.

Now, with the other foot inside, you can become a full master, and it was only a matter of time.

It was something I could easily achieve if I was prepared enough.

‘Arjuna didn’t reveal that she was a master, and if you go there, you can get help from Mahol.’

Against Ahar, I did everything I could to prepare.

It’s a pity that I can’t get help from Count Millennium and Bane, but I’m still with the three Masters.

And it’s not just us.

One master from another kingdom, and two masters and one archmage from the empire decided to support with all their might.

As many as 6 Masters participated in the war.

Unless the entire continent started a war, it would be difficult for so many Masters to gather together.

Even if it was an empire, it was difficult to deal with this many Masters, and it was impossible to collect them.

Each of the masters had the potential of a one-man army, and each of them had a strong sense of pride, so they couldn’t recklessly command or move.

“I’ll see you soon.”

I can’t help but worry about Daria, who was sent to the empire with Mahol.

Like a bird trapped in a cage in the kingdom, she had never left the royal villa and went to a foreign country for the first time in her life.

You may be afraid.

Of course, there are interests and expectations, but it was not difficult to adapt in a foreign country.

Even more so, if it was the imperial family full of strife, it would not be easy to endure.

No matter how outstanding her talent is, the beginning is the same as others.

‘Although Mahol did his part… Still, it’s a result beyond imagination.’

She did a better job than I expected.

No matter how much Mahol protected her, the rest of the work had to be done by herself.

Mahol was just protecting her from the dark struggle, but he couldn’t or did nothing on her behalf.

To be honest, he didn’t even like following her to the Empire.

He wanted to remain in the Millennium Earldom and spend the rest of his life with his sister.

It was right that I couldn’t get out of that area because I was worried about my younger brother who wouldn’t hurt even if I put it in my eyes.

Nevertheless, the reason he followed her was purely on my orders.

Because I told him to guard Daria.

he had told me

He promised to give all his allegiance in return for saving himself and his sister.

I will not hesitate to die for my sake.

As long as he wasn’t a swindler who feeds on lies, he faithfully fulfilled his oath.

If it was my order, Gu could not tell how reassuring his appearance was as if he would jump to his death.

‘I made the 3rd prince the crown prince, so it’s only a matter of time after that.’

Mahol’s virtues were there, but her efforts were clearly expressed.

The 3rd Prince, how hard he tried to make Baan, now the crown prince, the emperor.

Now, it was a matter of waiting for the emperor to step down, and literally everything would come true with time.

She perfectly achieved what she wanted.

The hidden power that manipulates the emperor.

Is there anything more she wants and can achieve?

If she wanted to, if she had enough strength, she could even aim for continental unification.

Of course, you’ll have to ask for my permission before doing that.

And I had no intention of allowing that.

She had no intention of destroying the peace she had made so far because of her personal desires.

‘This time is the end.’

I clenched my fist.

The justification, the situation, and the power are sufficient.

Never before, and never in the future, the timing couldn’t have been better.

If not now, the future would not exist.

In this war, our allies will surely suffer great damage.

However, if Ahar is not killed, the fate of the continent and the fate of mankind can be said to have ended with that.

Ahar devoured a lot of talent and became stronger as he grew stronger, but his allies suffered irreversible damage.

It’s a terrible situation to even think about, and that’s why we shouldn’t allow it to happen.

“Everything is decided by this war.”

So I will win

No matter what method, no matter what means, I will definitely kill him.

***

Monsters were gathered.

Hundreds of different types of monsters formed an endless army.

From goblins to ogres.

Wyverns, griffins, and even werewolves.

From small to large, from bottom to top of the food chain.

We could never get together. If they gathered, it was normal to create a scene where they would attack each other and eat and be eaten.

But the monsters didn’t.

As if this should never happen, the monsters stood still without pointing their teeth at each other.

The monsters were looking straight ahead.

There was a man there.

The monsters were staring at the man with waving gray hair and staring straight ahead with red eyes like burning flames.

Humans and monsters cannot coexist.

Each other kills each other, and the monsters think of humans as prey.

It’s an existence that symbiosis is impossible, but I didn’t feel that at all in the current look.

Rather, the monsters were feeling fear from the man.

I was afraid to look at the man.

Even the smallest gestures of the man were quietly watched carefully.

“Sigh… .”

The man takes a deep breath.

Hot heat gushes out of his mouth.

“The time has come.”

His voice echoed quietly around him.

Heat surges from the man’s body.

Thousands, no, tens of thousands of monsters emit enough force to crush them all.

The monsters show this and growl.

Monsters respond to the man’s voice.

“It is time.”

The monsters raised their voices as the man’s voice became increasingly rough.

“The end of man is near. As of today, humanity will be erased from the continent.”

A man opens his arms and looks up at the sky.

A madness that can’t be hidden spreads across his face as he takes a deep breath.

“Go, go and kill everyone. Fill the world with your screams, moisten the ground with your blood, and fill your belly with your flesh.”

The man lowers his arms, exposing his teeth, and shouts.

“Kill it. Tear down the contemptible scum of the world.”

The monsters move at the man’s hand gesture. Run past the man and run forward.

I could see the humans who were watching it in front of me screaming and starting a game.

The man looked at the scene and smiled brightly and cruelly.

“It is the beginning of a war.”

The ground cries.

The monsters run out all at once. It ran towards the humans to carry out the man’s orders.

The beginning of the war between mankind and monsters has risen.
