Book 1 Chapter 745

Leo and his group immediately used the warp gate to head to the battlefield, leaving Princess Treniconi behind.

The princess and her entourage were so overwhelmed by Elena that they couldn't utter a word until the Lumen students left.

Lumen's intervention was not to help Princess Treniconi, but to check Seirun from the start.

Therefore, there was no reason for them to curry favor with Princess Treniconi.

Upon arriving at the warp gate on the battlefield, Leo and his group immediately headed to the city that was the battlefield.

The city where the elves were confirmed to have appeared on the battlefield was Diviana.

Before leaving Lumen, they had heard news that the soldiers belonging to Treniconi had suffered a crushing defeat and were hastily retreating from Diviana.

When they arrived at their destination, a nobleman who appeared to be the city's commander was waiting.

Elena spoke without looking at the commander.

"I plan to go to the battlefield as soon as preparations are complete. Lil, you should hear the detailed war situation from the commander. Runba, you prepare the kids."

"Yes."

"Understood."

Lil, from a military family, spoke with the commander to understand the war situation.

Runba, on the other hand, prepared to go to the battlefield by leading the second and third-year students.

In front of the warp gate were Leo and Elena.

The two were left behind.

As Leo walked out of the warp gate building, Elena followed him like a puppy.

Diviana was the capital, located in the exact center of Devian, and was considered the second largest city after Deang.

The city was located in the north-central part of Devian.

Both in terms of size and geographical location, it was a crucial point in the current civil war situation.

Outside the warp gate, in such a large city, it was very splendid.

The first thing that caught the eye was a magnificent fountain.

Normally, water would have been gushing out, but currently, due to the urgent situation of the city being on the verge of being lost, it was not operating.

However, in contrast to the splendor, there were no people to be seen in the city.

It was clear that the troops had been deployed to defend the city walls at all costs.

Leo sat down on a nearby bench.

Then Elena sat next to Leo like a puppy.

As Leo tilted his head back and looked at the blue sky.

Elena tapped Leo's shoulder with her finger.

When he turned his head, Elena's eyes were sparkling.

"Hey, don't you have something to say? Huh? Huh?"

She pointed to her head with her finger and pulled her hips closer to Leo, clearly indicating her desire.

Leo stroked Elena's head as if pushing it away and said,

"Yes, you did well. But don't you think your character has changed a little?"

"Aren't you treating me like a child anyway? If so, shouldn't I take advantage of being younger?"

Elena smiled sweetly, and Leo clicked his tongue.

"You're too much like a sly fox, it's overwhelming."

Elena didn't even flinch at his words and enjoyed Leo's stroking.

Anyone else who saw it would have been astonished.

Everyone knew that Elena pampered Leo.

Even so, it was unimaginable to see the great Elena acting so childishly and flirtatiously towards someone.

Elena only showed this side of herself to Leo.

A naive and childlike appearance.

Although she had a somewhat shameless and mischievous side, and was prone to climbing on him whenever she had the chance,

She resembled a pretty princess commonly seen in fairy tales.

Elena, who had read many heroic tales as a child, admired princesses more than heroes.

And for Elena, Leo was like a hero she had seen in fairy tales.

'A hero who can save me in times of crisis.'

Although it was unlikely she would ever be in danger, Elena showed Leo the image she wanted to be.

And that was also a side of Elena that she had hidden.

"But did you have to go that far?"

Elena completely crushed Princess Freniconi's faction.

In response to Leo's question, Elena scoffed.

"Those who are born to be adored from birth have dark eyes when it comes to seeing the world."

Elena narrowed her eyes.

"They act as if they are noble without being noble, and as if they are great without being great. They brazenly take it for granted as if they were breathing."

Having said that, Elena gave a slight smile.

"Don't those who have such misconceptions fail to understand their place and try to match up with truly great people?"

"Can't you just let them be mistaken?"

"No. You can't."

Elena said firmly.

"The Age of Calamity and the current age are different. It's an era where those who don't understand their place can exert significant influence. I can never allow those pathetic beings to look down on my perfect hero."

Seeing Elena's serious expression, Leo scratched his cheek.

"In the first place, no student from Lumen would tolerate that. Leo, you are not alone. You are our leader."

Elena poked Leo's chest with her finger.

"Although sometimes it seems like you forget that."

"I'm not used to it yet."

Leo smiled bitterly, and Elena smiled sweetly.

"It's okay. Leo, your very existence is a powerful force. I'll take care of the flies that swarm around you. That's why I'm supporting you as the vice president."

Elena spread her chest wide and smiled brightly.

"Leo Flove making his name in history as a perfect hero. That's my goal."

"Why?"

"Because it's fun."

Elena stood up with a smile, looked at Leo, stepped backward, and slightly lifted her skirt.

"Then, my hero. This maiden will depart to help you prepare for the battlefield."

Saying that, she giggled and ran to Lil, who had come out of the warp gate.

"Cute."

Next to Leo, Lisinas appeared.

"It must be nice? Having so many people who blindly follow you."

"Nice?"

Lisinas sat next to Leo and stared intently at his face.

Then he smiled sweetly.

"That's a relief."

"What is?"

Leo looked at Lisinas with a puzzled expression.

To his question, Lisinas replied while looking at the blue sky.

"It's a relief that you were born in this era."

"What are you talking about all of a sudden?"

"I just thought that if it were me… or us, we wouldn't have been able to do as much as you."

Lisinas smiled sweetly.

"Kyle. In my eyes, you are already a perfect hero."

A hero who would save the world.

Perhaps that was a hero that even Lisinas had dreamed of.

"I think you guys would have done much better than me?"

"Is it possible to defeat Erebus without the power of purity?"

"Even without it, we would have found a way to find the answer."

Leo said calmly.

"If Arion had been resurrected, his sword would have truly reached the realm of the gods. Then, perhaps he would have reached a level where he could cut through Erebus's flames."

Last time.

In the battle against the fragment of Erebus, Arion's super senses truly glimpsed the future.

Arion, who had stepped into the realm of the gods, gained divinity thanks to that.

If Arion had been reincarnated, his sword might have truly reached the realm of the gods.

Then, it's impossible to know what miracles he might have performed.

"If Luna had been resurrected, she might have completed the White Flame."

A magic that could counter Erebus.

Although it remained unfinished, after 5000 years, that pure white flame was passed down to Lunia.

If Luna had been resurrected, she might have completed that magic.

"If it were Dwenno, he might have created a sword that could cut down Erebus."

Leo subtly brushed the Posteritas at his waist.

If it were Dwenno, it would have been possible.

"If it were you, you would have led the new heroes better."

What Leo was doing was, in the end, a imitation of Lisinas.

And even in his own eyes, he couldn't keep up with Lisinas.

Perhaps the talents of the hero candidates would have blossomed even more.

The time for Arion, Luna, Dwenno, and Lisinas was inevitably stopped.

Even if they reappeared on this land, unlike Leo, the four of them could not move forward.

If their friends, like him, were allowed the flow of time.

It was impossible to know what miracles they would perform.

"And what makes me a perfect hero? If that were the case, I wouldn't have raised the kids in the first place."

Leo scoffed.

"……"

At those words, Lisinas closed his eyes.

'Yes. Kyle is right.'

There is no such thing as a perfect hero.

'Kyle and I. And the other friends too.'

Didn't they all have flaws?

They pursued perfection by complementing each other's flaws.

'I want to live in the future with Kyle.'

This was his own lingering attachment.

A lingering attachment that could never be fulfilled.

Yet, a foolish lingering attachment that could not be given up.

Lisinas looked down at his palms.

'Let's pursue something else.'

He thought about what could be helpful to the current Kyle.

And then he remembered.

Lisinas stood up.

"I'm going to meet the children of Seirun."

"What? Why?"

Leo looked surprised.

"I just… I suddenly wanted to see them. Those children who are said to be Luna's descendants."

He had seen the Lumen students, the descendants of Kyle.

He had also met the dragons, his descendants.

They were all people who were not ashamed of the names "Hero of the Beginning" and "King of Wisdom."

So, naturally, he became curious.

What were the descendants of the progenitor of the constellations like?

'Although they might be a bit foolish like Luna.'

They would surely be children who shone brightly like Luna.

The children who would become allies of the hero of his choice, the hero of the beginning, Kyle. He was curious about what they would be like.

"I'll go and meet them."

Lisinas smiled sweetly and disappeared.

Watching him, Leo had a slightly worried expression.

'Lisinas tends to cause trouble when he gets overly enthusiastic.'

Although he was usually calm and composed, Lisinas had unexpected loopholes when he became emotional.

And his personality wasn't that great either.

It wasn't for nothing that Dwenno described Lisinas and Luna as having beautiful appearances but bad personalities and put them in the same category.

The only difference from Luna was that he hid his true nature well.

While Leo was thinking this.

The Lumen students, who had finished preparing to go to the battlefield, came out of the warp gate.

At that moment, Chen Xia approached Leo.

"Leo-doryeong. Do you know where Lisinas-nim went?"

To that question, Leo replied.

"He said he wanted to test the Seirun students, so he went?"

Chen Xia's eyes widened.

"Really?"

Seeing Chen Xia smiling brightly, Leo had a strange expression.

"Why do you seem to be in a good mood?"

"It's unfair if only we suffer!"

Chen Xia said as if it were obvious, and Leo clicked his tongue.

'He's secretly twisted, just like Bihard, pretending he's not.'

"By the way, I heard there's a female student among the Seirun students called the 'Witch of Corpses'."

At Chen Xia's words, Leo had a strange expression.

"What? What kind of epithet is that, like a subordinate of the Necromancer King?"

"I don't know? Apparently, she held onto the corpse of a dead knight and shook it wildly."

"What? What kind of crazy elf is that?"

Leo frowned.
