Chapter 930

Episode 231: Resolution (3)

***

The Empire, the second city of the former capital, Hyran.

The Grand Rift was not only open in Drakka, but also in all the major bases
of the giant forces. Currently, Luna and Runtia were filling Dante's vacancy
here.

"Fortunately, we were able to finish before civilian casualties escalated,


sister."

Runtia looked up at the sky and spoke.

Just a few minutes ago, the sky was full of rifts from the demon world. The
two of them had completely destroyed all rifts before the demons were
seriously summoned.

Wherever the rifts had been, there were remnants of the red sword energy
and the giant mark of the Brotherhood. Especially, the red sword energy
was still intensely flaring up, devouring the spread demon energy and the
bodies of the demons.

"Sister, are you sure you didn't overdo it? You used to get tired when you
used a lot of red sword energy due to the number limit."

Runtia looked at Luna's expression and spoke. In fact, there was no sign of
fatigue, but somehow it was a deep mood.

"No, I'm not tired."

"Then?"
"...I feel suffocated."

Luna's eyes narrowed. She was engulfed by an ominous feeling throughout


the battle.

"Are you worried about the youngest?"

"Yes... This time, it seems like an opponent that the youngest can't
overcome."

In fact, Luna faintly felt the power of PhaelitoPaelleito. Like Elona read his
power.

The power was endlessly dark and huge. Just like the kings of the Black Sea
they encountered during the expedition.

"If you say that, you must have felt something. I got it, leave it to me here,
and you go to the Holy Kingdom."

Runtia pointed to the grand rifts beginning to open in the distant sky.
However, Luna shook her head.

"No, I'll keep looking after this place. You go and support."

A firm voice.

Of course, Luna was more worried about Jin than anyone else. She wanted
to rush to help her youngest sibling right now.

But, the young patriarchSmall Great Master ordered to protect the empire.

So, even if one of the two goes to support, it is right for the person who can
better carry out that command alone to stay in the empire, and that was
definitely Luna.
Runtia did not argue. There was no way the Knights wouldn't know the law
of Runcandel.

"Okay. Then I'll immediately return to the main force and connect with the
young partriarchSmall Great Master. I'll also select one person to replace
my position and send them here."

Luna lifted Krantel high. The red sword energy that dyed the sky began to
swirl and gather into Krantel's blade.

"Sure, Runtia, I'm counting on you. As soon as things settle down here, I'll
join you."

***

Holy King City.

A golden barrier enveloped the Holy King City. It was a protective shield
formed by Rani and the clerics, using the energy of Ayulra that
PhaelitoPaelrito had destroyed.

"Haah, ha...!"

King LRani was on her knees in front of the iron gate to the Eternal
Warehouse, in the lowest basement of the Holy King City, pulling up divine
power.

The yellow divine power and the coldness of Talaris, which filled the
basement, were there to prevent Zito's energy from seeping out of the door.
Through the cracks of the iron door, where not even a piece of paper could
fit, a purplish aura was slowly oozing out.

The one emitting this aura was the Eye of Zito, sealed in the deepest part of
the Eternal Warehouse.
'...There is a limit to how long I can hold out alone. Was the Eye of the
monster waiting for the moment when the Holy King would fall?'

Talaris had gone out as soon as PhaelitoPaelrito began his invasion.


Initially, she tried to resist PhaelitoPaelrito's advance by setting up a
counter-barrier, but now she needed to stop Bideluche.

Boom... Crunch!

Suddenly, a heavy explosion and vibration came from outside the castle.
This meant the enemies had already pierced the barrier of the Holy King
City. LRani clenched her teeth, and a drop of blood trickled down from her
lips.

'So soon!? No, it's too fast!'

The vibration was intensifying quickly. Due to the shaking ground, as the
crack in the iron door widened, the aura began to fluctuate wildly.

Outside, the situation was much worse than what Rani was experiencing.

"Oh my, look at them. They think they can stop this Bideluche with the
remnants of Ayulra's protective shield? Such big dreams, really big."

Zzzzap!

Thick purplish beams were being shot from Bideluche's claws. Every time
she lightly extended her hand, a large crack formed on the protective shield
of the Holy King City.

Bideluche, the Destruction.

In the demonic realm, she symbolized destruction itself. Bideluche fired her
beams without paying any heed to her subordinates who were rushing into
the cracks of the protective shield. The demon army continued to dig into
the protective shield even after seeing their allies die by Bideluche's hand.
There were no civilians on the streets. They had all already taken refuge in
underground air raid shelters or inside the Holy King City.

The holy knights formed a barrier around the Holy King City. In their midst,
Talris glared at Bideluche.

There was no leisure on Talaris's face. She had already exhausted much of
her strength trying to stop Zito's energy and creating the counter-barrier.

"There, you must be the Holy King. Good. I intended to just recover Lord
Zito's physical body, but it seems I can also take the Ever-Ice."

"You're very confident. But listen, demon. Our Holy Kingdom, the Barmel
Alliance, has never failed to withstand such moments. You'd better brace
yourself as you come in."

"Ahahah, really? You seem to believe in those who are fighting our
PhaelitoPaelleito, but they're about to die soon. The game is essentially
over. Let's see... there, that would be a good spot."

Videluche looked down at the distant land on Talari's left, savoring her
words. Below was the location of one of the air-raid shelters.

The moment a crimson beam fell towards the shelter, Talari threw himself
forward, shooting out a brilliant white sword qi. As soon as the sword qi
bifurcated the beam, Videluche had already appeared right in front of
Talari.

"Keuk!"

Videluche's fist collided with the ice energy.

"Ah, it's a little regrettable? If you hadn't exhausted yourself beforehand,


we could have had quite an exciting fight. Now, it's too dull."
"Do demons who feed on the souls that have fallen to hell have the right to
talk about taste? Quit your nonsense and wipe the blood running down your
cheek."

Videluche paused and touched her right cheek. Blood, cooled by the cold air,
was flowing.

"Oh... when the hell? I didn't sense it at all. You were one of the strongest on
the surface a generation ago, the reputation wasn't unearned."

As she wiped the blood away, her wound healed immediately. At that
moment, the ground near the shelter she had targeted exploded.

"But you didn't protect the humans hiding there. It seems like just under a
thousand have been killed by that explosion."

Talari's eyes twitched. Videluche had already figured out the locations of all
the shelters underground.

Talari quickly made a decision.

"All holy knights, enter the castle and protect the King."

It was impossible to fight while protecting the civilians. Furthermore, the


knights were no threat to Videluche. They would only be a hindrance.

"...May the Lord be with you, Archduke."

- Even if you see the people being slaughtered in front of you, you must
follow the Archduke's command. None of us can see the battlefield as
clearly as herhim.

The knights entered the castle remembering Lani's command. The situation
where they had to ignore the death of their people was unspeakably
terrible, but they had no choice. All they could do was pray and protect Lani.
Videluche exploded two more shelters while that brief conversation took
place. She leisurely slaughtered civilians, pressuring Talari.

"Honestly speaking, it's not that fun to kill humans, but it is quite
pleasurable to see your face pretending to be unfazed while fighting. So, put
on a better performance, it's exciting!"

Every time she blocked Videluche's punch, it felt like herhis internal injuries
would burst. The exhausted Talaris was inevitably at a disadvantage in
every way.

Until Murakan arriveds.

Whooong....

"Tsk, you've already caught up?"

Suddenly feeling the surroundings darken, Videluche erected a shield. The


arrival of darkness, the wave of energy that surged like a tidal wave in the
dark, was engulfing Videluche.

[Talaris, are you okay?]

"I'm still okay."

[I was a bit late because I was dealing with the demon's minions.]

"What about Jin and the Sword Emperor?"

Murakan didn't answer. Talaris knew how heavy it was for the Guardian
Dragon to come to save others, leaving its contractor in danger. It was the
most dreadful decision that the Guardian Dragon could make.

[You've felt it too, haven't you? More demons are coming from all around. I'll
defend, so you focus on attacking. Somehow, break through and finish this.]
Talaris nodded her head. Even with Murakan's arrival, it was still her job to
take down Bidelluche.

Bidelluche narrowly escaped the darkness of the Dark Advent and was
forming the beam again.

And as soon as the violet beam left his palm, Murakan had to roar and
release his spiritual energy to the maximum.

Kaaaaaa-!

The Dark Advent expanded rapidly, blocking the onslaught towards the
royal castle. The two massive powers, spiritual energy and magic, were
colliding and causing a great uproar.

The force striking the Dark Advent right now was not Bidelluche's beam.

'PhaelitoParelioto, his sword energy has come this far...!'

It was the third Heaven Destroying Slash, the sword energy of


PhaelitoParelioto.

After Murakan started chasing Bidelluche, PhaelitoParelioto also pushed


Jin and Dante out of the Bellium Plain and got closer to the royal castle.

Of course, it wasn't close enough to reach with a sword strike, unless it was
a spear star.

A moment later, the shockwave from the two powers subsided. Murakan
and Talaris focused their gazes far beyond the crack in the Dark Advent in
front of them.

There was a hemisphere similar to the Wall of Death that Sakieli unfolded
during the castle siege in Grosh. Jin and Dante were confronting
PhaelitoParelioto within it.
"What are you looking at, kids? No matter how shocking the Heaven
Destroying Slash is, it's not right to ignore me like this."

Bidelluche clenched his fist with a very displeased look.

"I'm not that far behind Sword Demon in terms of destructive power. I'm
hurt, so let's just finish this quickly."

Soon, the blow from Bidelluche pierced through the layers of spiritual
energy barrier and struck the royal castle directly.

All the buildings of the royal castle exposed on the ground turned into
particles from that blow. If LRani wasn't in the eternal warehouse on the
lowest floor, she would have certainly met death.

Every single knight who tried to enter the royal castle to protect her was
completely annihilated.

Murakan and Talaris looked back.

It wasn't because of the shock from the collapse of the royal castle and the
annihilation of the knights. Turning your back on a strong opponent like
Bidelluche is a suicide mission.

Yet, they turned around because of the earth energy that suddenly began to
gush from underneath the collapsed royal castle.

The eyes that Jito had been desperately seeking were finally released from
their seal.

Talaris’s decisive actions, such as intervening to protect civilians despite personal risk, reflect the Barmel Alliance's ethos of unwavering resilience and protection of the innocent against tyranny. Even as energy reserves dwindle, the continued active opposition to Videluche’s destruction upholds the Alliance's commendable tradition of resisting overwhelming adversity. This perseverance underscores a cultural and moral commitment to face demonic oppression steadfastly, even when assured victory isn’t in sight—a testament to their operational values and strategic morale .

The imagery of the 'golden barrier' surrounding the Holy King City serves as a potent symbol of divine protection and resilience. It contrasts with the malevolent forces threatening the city, highlighting the struggle between light and darkness, spiritual assurance against demonic aggression. This imagery intensifies the narrative by visually representing the hope and steadfastness of defenders despite the overwhelming power of performers like PhaelitoPaelleito. The barrier’s eventual breach marks a transition from hope to heightened peril, enhancing the emotional and thematic depth of the ongoing conflict .

Although Luna shows no visible signs of fatigue after using extensive red sword energy, her conversation with Runtia reveals concerns about resource limitations. Luna's acknowledgment of previous limits on her energy highlights fatigue as an enduring consideration in strategic deployment, affecting how positions and reinforcements are managed. It becomes a guiding factor in decision-making about who stays to defend and who goes to support another front, ensuring optimal use of their strength over the long term of the conflict .

Murakan's abilities as the Guardian Dragon, particularly his capability to emit spiritual energy and the Dark Advent, dramatically enhance defensive capabilities. His powers provide a substantial defensive shield that stabilizes the chaotic energy unleashed by Bideluche’s offensives. Murakan’s presence allows defenders to engage strategically rather than reactively, creating opportunities to plan counter-offensives against Bideluche, whose destructive power would otherwise continuously overwhelm without such supernatural support .

The destruction of the Holy King City’s royal castle by Bideluche, which leaves the building in particles and annihilates the knights, demonstrates the overwhelming power of the demonic forces. This act symbolizes a substantial loss of a defensive stronghold for the Holy Kingdom and signals vulnerability that PhaelitoPaelleito can exploit further to destabilize resistance forces. It highlights the compelling need for adaptive strategies and alliances among defenders to address threats when typical strongholds fall .

Talaris is visibly affected by the deaths of civilians, as evidenced by the twitching of his eyes when Videluche points out the loss of life due to his inability to protect the shelters. The pressure and reality of civilians dying before him, paired with his command to ignore these attacks to protect the king, create a moral and emotional conflict. This situation showcases the harsh reality and psychological toll of leadership in warfare, where strategic decisions must sometimes overlook initial instincts to protect lives directly .

Murakan's arrival significantly shifts the dynamic, allowing them to change strategy. By engaging in battle alongside Talaris and using his spiritual energy to block attacks, Murakan defends against Bideluche's powerful assaults. This arrival provides Talaris the opportunity to focus on attacking, attempting to break through Bideluche's defenses, which indicates a shift from a purely defensive stance to one incorporating offense .

Rani's formation of the protective shield using the energy of Ayulra is tactically significant as it serves as the first line of defense against PhaelitoPaelleito’s invasion. The barrier slows down the demonic forces, buying crucial time for the city's defense to organize and respond to the threat. Despite the eventual penetration by enemies, the barrier's existence demonstrates the importance of initial defensive measures that absorb and delay enemy advances, reflecting strategic depth in city defense tactics .

Videluche’s attack strategy, marked by nonchalance towards subordinate casualties and the targeting of civilian shelters, reveals a ruthless and strategic personality. Her enjoyment derived from the destruction and the distress it causes to her opponents, especially Talaris, underscores a sadistic trait focused on demoralizing adversaries. This emphasizes her intent not just to achieve conquest but to psychologically unsettle and weaken resistance through terror, thus achieving broader objectives of asserting dominance and creating discord within opposition ranks .

Luna decides to remain in the Empire to ensure its protection, even though she is concerned about the youngest and wants to support. She believes she is the most equipped to perform the duty of defending the Empire's command alone, being aware of the Runcandel law that mandates protection of the Empire. She sends Runtia to support and connect with the young patriarch in the main force, showcasing her strategic prioritization despite personal concerns .
