Chapter 586 – The Final Chapter. To Julian’s Future (14)
Meanwhile, when the battle between Julian and Pedro continued.
The entire region of Iceland, including the border of the ecliptic, was in the middle of a festival.
There were still people fighting to keep the festival fire.
“Leaf! Are you safe?”
A knight with blonde hair and dark skin.
Fabian quickly approached Leaf’s side.
“Well, this is nothing special. “I’ve cut more fruit than I’ve ever cut in my entire life.”
As Leaf said.
His exterior looked fine.
Although the revived World Tree directly guards the festival site.
High-ranking magicians are attacking those loose gaps in real time.
That fine appearance spoke of Leaf’s skills as a knight.
Fabian must have been proud of his classmate, so he hurried over and patted him on the back.
“As expected, you are a reliable friend. Now the other knights of the midnight sun will also acknowledge us.”
Like Fabian said.
The three people who motivated Julian to end the battle.
Fabian and Leaf. And Eric.
Although they joined as apprentice knights of the midnight sun.
After several months of actual combat, he had made outstanding achievements and was already moving beyond the average knight level to becoming a high knight.
In addition, he was highly evaluated within the midnight sun in aspects other than his ability.
Although it was all known that those three were the same class as Julian.
Even though they have great academic ties, they are proving their skills at the bottom.
Among them, Eric, and even his older brother, was Julian’s personal coachman.
Gugung-
Lately, Eric also joined them.
At the same time, on the plains beyond the outskirts.
A huge earthquake was heard.
“Be prepared for the shock wave!”
And there were people who quickly approached the three people.
That outfit is something you can’t find in the empire.
The pointed ears were clearly not human either.
They are the Demon Lord’s army under Julian. They were knights of the Agriel Empire.
“Thank you!”
Fabian shouted at them.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-
And the knights of the Demon King’s army created a magical shield to block the shock wave that soon approached.
Leaf said as he witnessed the scene.
“It’s a huge shock wave. “What kind of fight are you fighting, my lord?”
Not only that, but the knights of the Demon King’s army also could not keep their mouths shut.
The battle between Julian and Pedro.
It was similar to the battle of the gods that appears in the creation myth.
The heavens and the earth were literally shaking.
Fabian looked beyond again and shouted.
“Your Majesty has already entered the realm of god! His is a state that even the Grand Masters cannot reach! “We are the privileged ones here to witness the myth firsthand!”
Fabian always made a fuss when it came to things about Julian.
Now everyone gathered here agrees with those words.
So much so that it wouldn’t be strange if Fabian, a human knight and not a demon, used the title “Your Majesty” To Julian.
Surely, once the battle with the demon god is over.
What Julian has done here will become a legend in the empire, and indeed in Iceland.
“All the nearby demonic beasts have been eliminated. For now, let’s return to our base.”
And the elf knight of the Royal Knight, a member of the Demon King’s army, spoke.
When all three of them first met the demons, it was very awkward.
It was different now.
The drivers here also drank together last night.
And in the atmosphere of the festival, for a moment, humans and demons become each other. I was even able to forget that I was an enemy with whom I had been feuding for so long.
Of course, now that the end is approaching.
What made that festival of unity possible. It was thanks to Julian, who was writing a mythical saga against that Pedro.
Fabian and his companions returned to the main camp.
And the demon knights who joined a while ago. We had a drinking party with the Royal Knights from early in the day.
“That’s what I swore! The proud High Night of the midnight sun! I, Fabian, as the right-hand man of His Majesty Julian, will never forget your death and will avenge your death! Then, he was able to close his eyes with peace of mind.”
“That’s a really great story. We, the Royal Knights, have also been with His Majesty Julian since the beginning of the advance of the Western Demon King’s army… And from the beginning of the fight against Aquarite. To be the right-hand man of the great Majesty… Sir Fabian is truly amazing.”
Sure enough, Leaf and Eric chuckled when they saw Fabian telling a braggadocious tale of adventure to the demon knights.
“That Fabian guy. It’s not all wrong, but it’s too much of an exaggeration. “I heard that as a right-hand man, he just ran errands for Lord Yulian during the Pantheon days.”
“Well, because of that friendly nature, the Imperial Army and the Demon King’s Army were able to quickly become integrated at this festival. “It’s not that bad.”
As Leaf said.
Fabian is a guy who judges everything related to Julian to be right.
So, even though he was a southerner, he had no disregard or prejudice against the demons.
On the contrary, when he heard that the demon kings in the demon kingdom had accumulated numerous achievements together with Julian, he was very envious of that fact.
At the same time, he said that he was a subordinate who had sworn loyalty to Julian, and that the Demon King’s army was also a blood ally, so he created a natural drinking party like now.
‘Perhaps… This is the look that Lord Julian wanted. It must have been a scene like this.’
It was something unimaginable just a year ago.
Humans and demons.
Even though the two had a common enemy called the Demon Beast, they were divided and could not combine their powers.
But it was different now.
The blessing of the World Tree being played in real time.
The blessing protected both humans and demons alike.
And Julian, who is dealing with Pedro along with the World Tree.
Regardless of race, the current allied forces were directly referred to as the human army.
There was no longer any despair to be found in the appearance of the human army.
One of the elf knights who had been telling Fabian about Julian’s saga shouted again.
“If I survive this fight with the Demon God, I plan to ask her from her hometown to marry me! Let’s have a child in the new demon kingdom that His Majesty Julian will create!”
“Heh, heh. That’s something we should never say in the Knights of the White Night. Still, that’s a very good thing. “I also preach to the demon female knights every night about the importance of having children.”
Even though Fabian gave a shy answer to those touching words.
Leaf chuckled.
Those words contained the only word that Julian was shouting through the current festival.
‘Hope, Ira.’
It was like that.
People who had been discouraged by the immediate end began to talk about tomorrow again.
Julian’s performance protecting the imperial capital against Pedro.
It is said that it is being regenerated and spread throughout the continent in real time through the World Tree, which is taking root throughout Iceland.
Decline of the empire. And the attack of the demonic beast and the war that broke out in various parts of the empire.
The sign of the end that seemed to never end, the color of the darkness was fading.
“Lord Julian!! Lord Julian!!”
And the knights of the Demon King’s army, who had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, began to sing a military song.
Fabian too.
Even though we weren’t part of the Demon King’s Army at all, we were already singing along to that song together.
“Lord Julian!! Lord Julian!!”
Leaf and Eric also sang that song and drank together.
At the same time, the World Tree also began to resonate.
Julian’s name rang out as a song throughout Iceland.
The festival was approaching its peak.
***
The time became night.
The last night of the promised festival.
It is the third night.
The outskirts of the ecliptic. Although it was once a place full of thriving cities and roads.
A nameless plain that has now become a wasteland due to the Great War and the destruction of the Old Imperial Capital.
There I was still holding Siertia tightly in my hands.
“Julian von… Reinhardt!!”
And Pedro was glaring at me like he was disgusted.
“They both came down from heaven. Now is the time to begin the human-to-human competition. Isn’t that right, Pedro?”
I shouted at him in a calm but fighting voice.
Just like the saying.
God’s battle, which had been going on for the past three days and nights, was now coming to an end.
A godhead created for me.
Its divinity eventually surpassed that of Pedro.
That is the calling of all Icelanders.
As an apostle of chaos, it was Pedro who endlessly used the power of the demon god Knoia on earth.
In the end, I succeeded in even offsetting the power of that demon.
‘The people of Iceland… Are calling my name!’
Festival of the past three days.
What I ultimately hoped for through that festival was to rekindle the fire of hope.
As if to prove that, Island was shaking.
“Damn it!! The world tree…”
Therefore, the world capital was unable to grow its stem here due to being weighed down by the magical soul power created by Pedro.
The stems and leaves began to expand explosively around the spot where I was located.
And from that new world tree, my name was constantly ringing.
– Lord Julian!! Lord Julian!!
The name of that hope is my name.
Pedro’s expression was crumpled, as if he really didn’t want to hear that shout.
Not only that.
The infinite magical soul power provided by the demon god Knoia has been temporarily offset.
As the agent of that demon, the guy who exudes deep despair like an abyss has now lost his weight.
Now, he was standing in front of me as human Pedro de Orhain.
However, even Pedro’s magical soul power was offset.
The fact that he was the only Grand Master in the empire whose name was the same as that of his maternal grandfather did not change.
On the other hand, my godhood has now disappeared to offset his godhood.
I am a novice who only awakened mana 9 months ago.
The experience of pure nothingness was nothing compared to Pedro.
“Let’s get started. Pedro. Human fight.”
But, I had a hunch.
Reinhardt’s blood flowing inside me is more excited about the current match than ever.
In my head, all the shapes of the Lion Heart Sword began to flow.
