Book 20 Chapter 9

180th Episode

The Red Holy City, <Shuriganakus>.

At its center lies the Blood-Red Grand Plaza, the largest plaza in history, comparable in size to other small cities.

A very important reason was hidden behind the immense size of this plaza.

Because this place is a passage.

A passage leading to the city where evil ran rampant under Naigalas's rule in ancient times, beneath <Shuriganakus>… <City of 108 Pillars: Larien>.

<Shuriganakus> was built by the Blood-Red Sun Shurigan to seal that abyss.

There was a moonlight that descended, brilliantly piercing through the sand dust that vaguely covered such a grand plaza.

"Mu (04)."

Hejmana, the Emissary of Divine Punishment. Jumping down from the corpse of a yellow wyvern that had just breathed its last, the one who reached out a hand to her was… Kadyn Alma (01) Sarandis.

"The key?"

Hejmana took out the core extracted from the Ark and showed it.

"Bikhisa?"

"He sent me here and died."

"So that fool finally got his wish."

Sarandis, who had silently looked down at the core she received from Hejmana for a moment, handed it to her comrade.

"Now, it's our turn to fulfill our long-cherished wish. Hurry. We've received intelligence that the Red Dragon Legion is retreating and coming this way."

Kadyn Bete (02), Zhurak Kephel. As he manipulated the core, countless keypads and typesetting appeared in the air, and Zhurak operated all of them more skillfully than modern demi-humans.

*Chwa-reureureureureureureuk*… The grand plaza seemed to collapse at the core's command, but no!

"Is it done?"

The ground was rearranged in steps, in simpler terms, the entire ground of the grand plaza was transformed into stairs leading underground! Mystical!

"As expected, Bete (02), you're amazing… Alright, then let's head straight to the Blood-Red Grand Cathedral."

Unlike Mu (04), who immediately stepped onto the stairs, Alma (01) and Bete (02) remained in the grand plaza.

"What are you doing, not coming?"

"The north is noisy."

"Because they are coming through the north."

"So Mu (04), head underground by yourself. Leave it to us to stop the Dragonkin or the hero party."

"What?"

"You… are to fulfill His, and all of our aspirations. You are to set this twisted world right."

At that moment, a yellow dragon flew in and spat out lightning from above, but the magic cast by Zhurak shattered into countless crystals, completely dispersing the damage.

"Stop spouting nonsense and come down too! If the Dragonkin and your juniors join forces, it'll become incredibly troublesome. The Red Dragon Legion is retreating from the front lines and advancing north, right? They'll be here within a few hours! The Red Dragon Legion's power is completely different from that of the Yellow Dragon or White Dragon Legions!"

"Don't worry. We just need to defeat them one by one. We've already sent Del (03) and Omek (06) to the north."

"Can that unidentified duo really buy enough time?"

The yellow dragon, bisected by the holy sword, fell down the underground stairs. Sarandis landed between Bete (02) and Mu (04) and said.

"I can usually discern the strength of most opponents just by their presence, but I couldn't even discern Omek's true identity."

Even though she had just cut down a yellow dragon, she showed no sign of exertion and was rather composed, truly deserving of her title as the leader of Kadytpol.

Bete (02) said, "Both Del and Omek have personalities prone to rampage, but strangely, when they're together, they put a brake on each other and also enhance their synergy. So don't worry and go."

"You guys, really…!"

"You complete it, witness it clearly with your own two eyes, and then explain it to us later. The landscape of the world where our long-cherished wish has been fulfilled."

At Sarandis's command, Hejmana, who had been moving her lips, finally spun around towards the underground.

"You sons of Samigle, who never listen to anyone else's words…"

As her body was enveloped in moonlight and she seemed to suddenly depart, a voice leaked out before the pillar of light scattered into hundreds of particles.

"…If it was enjoyable, it was enjoyable. Now, go in peace."
