Chapter 317 – 317. The Door of Severance (5)
=========================
As the Yetzirah Council accepted all of Ardena’s proposals, they returned to Maherit.
Yushin and Allen left to explore the air fortifications threatening Maherit’s palace, and Ardena nursed Ilayna, who was in a coma, at close range.
As I put my hand on the elf girl’s forehead,
She brushed back her hair that was covering her white forehead.
‘Maybe it’s because my body was startled by the sudden pain… , You have a slight fever.’
White bed sheets and white curtains that sway whenever a gentle breeze blows.
Marigolds in a mint colored vase.
Various ornaments were displayed on the desk.
As the best medical facility used by the high elf family, it boasts the highest quality bedding and clean environment, and it became a peaceful haven for the elf girl who had to traverse her harsh environment.
“They said they were hospitalized under a fake priest in the hospital room.”
“Until now, she had believed and relied on the reincarnation of the first priest…. How has she been able to stay so shameless so far?”
“Shh. The Ardena warrior commander will listen.”
From the wall and beyond the wall,
The voices of the elven medical staff were heard.
It was the sound of disparaging the elf girl lying on the bed in a coma.
At that, Ardena sighed as she let out a deep sigh inside her. Because it wasn’t wrong.
Ilaina herself was also in a position to be deceived by the priests’ lies, but from the point of view of the elves who had devoted their loyalty and faith to the priestess as a living god, of course, Ilaina was worthy of hatred.
‘The choice to return to Maherit was to protect Director Shin, who was threatened by the demon king of explosions, and to prepare a place for her to stay, for Director Shin, who was tired of her fatigue… I don’t know if I was right.’
Ardena, feeling her hostility toward Reina, felt anxious about whether her choice was right.
On the contrary, by entering a space full of malice, wouldn’t the head priest suffer even greater pain?
Ardena feared that the silver-haired little girl would be put in a harsh situation again.
“Are your injuries okay, Liana Warriors Commander?”
“I am okay.
The silver-haired elf girl, drooping as if she had fallen into a deep sleep, was hospitalized in the hospital palace.
In the hospital room Yushin was in,
The elf princess, who had fallen asleep, lay motionless on the bed.
Ardena looked at Il Reina’s emaciated complexion and let out a sigh while putting on a sad expression.
“I should have stopped Corte somehow…. If it had been a little stronger, the priest would never have been injured.”
As she let out a guilt-laden murmur, Ilayna grabbed her tiny hand.
No rough calluses,
It was the hand of a girl who had never held her weapon before.
Holding her hand, as thin as her fern, Ardena felt the warm warmth of her touch, and swore that if Corté ever again sought her priest, she would face her without a moment’s hesitation. Did.
‘Corte dos Liberia is no longer the priest. She is just a traitor who betrayed her compatriots and fell into a demon….’
Maybe there was some hesitation about my sword.
Because of her hidden hesitation,
Although she learned the perfect sword from her master, she could not use it perfectly.
If he had used all of the original power of El Cid’s swordsmanship, he wouldn’t have been caught off guard by Corte, nor would the priest and Liana have been hurt. Ardena must have felt the deep pain in her heart for not being able to protect what she was meant to protect due to her own immaturity.
‘If we meet again next time, I’ll definitely do it.’
Abandoning hesitation and hesitation,
With the blade of heartlessness, she punishes the demon king who betrayed her compatriots.
Ardena, who held Ileina’s hand, vowed that she would take all the karma on her behalf so that her victims would no longer increase.
“Allone.”
“Yes, sister.”
Alone answered her sister’s call with a nod of her head.
“I know it’s a sorry request, but… Keep the high priest by your side.”
“Yes, of course not!”
It wasn’t that important to Alone that Ileina wasn’t the reincarnation of the first priest.
At first, she wasn’t particularly interested.
It was because she had only thought of it as a story far from herself.
“I am also a daughter of the same Valencian family as her sister. Isn’t it the duty of a swordsman to protect people in difficult situations? I don’t know about difficult things… , I think people who are in danger must be protected.”
Alone said with a bashful laugh.
Seeing her sister’s sense of justice, Ardena smiled bitterly and nodded her head.
A straight sense of justice without a single hesitation.
Ardena must have realized something about her through Alone’s appearance, and she showed a sharp weapon in her emerald eyes.
“Then I… Let’s go to face the enemy’s fort that is threatening Maherit’s palace.”
“Go safely.”
“Okay.”
In response to her sister’s greeting, Ardena nodded her head as she struggled to smile.
“Thank you, Alone. With you, I think I can fight in peace.”
“Su, embarrassing… !”
At her repeated expressions of gratitude, Alone turned her head away as her white face blushed.

Maherit, the capital of the elves, has been a region that boasts a mild climate regardless of the passage of time.
But why
A white snow wind began to blow in the sky above Maherit.
The blizzard of eerie ominous whistle blew wildly, turning Maherit into a pure white world. The elves who witnessed the falling snowflakes feared it, saying it was a sign of bad luck.
“It is a simple eye that is harmless even in contact with the skin.”
The dark elf woman reached out and touched her crotch eyes.
Snow melted instantly.
After confirming that the water quickly melted in the warm body temperature, Kalen explained that the snowstorm that began to fall due to the influence of the floating fortress floating high in the sky was nothing more than harmless moisture to the body.
“I’m sure it wasn’t designed to give Maherit’s elves a winter viewing…. Isn’t there some kind of ulterior motive?”
At Yushin’s question, Kalen nodded her head.
“Yes, so I’m sending spirits around the floating fortress to find out certain information.”
As time passed, the wind seemed to grow stronger.
If at first it was just snowing,
Snowflakes as thick as the heavy snow that now falls in the middle of winter began to blow across Maherit on strong winds.
“Ugh! Can’t we just move that fucking fortress somewhere else?”
Allen, who was stomping on her feet while spitting out her pure white breath, opened her mouth.
Whether her sudden blizzard was very disturbing,
She was glaring at the flying fortress, the one responsible for causing the snowstorm.
‘It’s a floating fortress made of snow and ice….’
Yooshin murmured as he watched the floating fortress hanging upside down as if gravity were acting in reverse.
The floating fortress in the sky above Maherit is a building with a central castle centered on high spiers and castles, and overall it is similar to the architectural style of the Valois kingdom.
But if there’s anything else….
It was pure white snow and ice that covered the main building, the spire, and the castle. Oddly enough, the floating fortress had a bizarre shape covered in snow and ice.
“Why don’t we blow up that fort without a trace?”
Rosta asked.
Yushin shrugged her shoulders.
“It’s not a sword, it’s a realm of magic.”
If he had enough strength and powers to blow away every single cornerstone of a huge fortress, he would have wiped out the six demon lords in one fell swoop.
Is it really possible with a sword?
I don’t know if it’s possible if it’s Master.
Yushin tried to refrain from rushing out as much as possible, saying that if he clumsily touched the fortress and fell to the ground, a major disaster might occur.
“Can you move that to another location?”
Yushin asked Kalen.
The idea was to slowly push the flying fortress out of the sky above Maherit and then drop it into an uninhabited area.
At that, Kalen shook her head.
“A strong anti-gravity is acting around that aerial fortress. I tried sending out spirits to put pressure on the fortress, but none of the spirits could reach the fortress. It must be the same with other magic.”
Perhaps even Kalen couldn’t stand the cold of the blizzard, and her body trembled weakly as she breathed into her frozen hands.
Yushin took off his coat and put it directly on Kalen’s shoulder.
Were you surprised by his kindness,
The dark elf woman smiled shyly with her blush on her slim face.
“Thanks….”
“It’s okay.”
Yushin, holding the hilt, gazed at the vaguely visible aerial fortress in the white snowstorm, and was alerted that the demon king of explosions might return again, taking advantage of Maherit’s confusion.
What the hell is that aerial fortress?
If it was a war weapon of Dope Kingdom, it would surely boast tremendous killing power.
Even so, the aerial fortress only spewed out the bitter cold and fierce blizzards, and did not emit any direct killing power.
There was no way to attack the fortress because it was a situation where detailed information or effective countermeasures were not devised.
“I’m cold too.”
“Why, then, take off your underwear?”
Yushin shrugged her shoulders at Allen’s stare at her with her hatchet eyes raised.
“Ruler.”
Yushin stretched out her arms.
Then, as if she had been waiting for the time when she lived here with her blue hair, she was embraced.

Just as the sanctuary where the World Tree, which supplied vitality to the Liberia Peninsula, existed, remained within a barrier completely cut off from the outside world, so was the behind-the-scenes scene with priests who assisted the first priest and established the country of the elves. .
An independent space completely cut off from the outside world.
For absolute defense, I cut off the connection with the outside world.
In order to go behind the scenes of the monsters who have been living a tenacious life for a thousand years, very special conditions were required, with only priests.
“She’s like a stupid bitch….”
“If he had continued to accept the role of a puppet, he would have been able to enjoy the glory of reigning as a living god for a long time.”
“As with the invitation, he might have been able to join us if he had done a good job as a puppet.”
A barren ruin cluttered with green vines and moss.
The elves behind the scenes appeared.
Surprisingly, they did not look like old people stained with wrinkles and age spots, but had youthful and beautiful appearances with firm skin and white faces.
“This is not the time to be easygoing! Doesn’t that bitch know where we are and how to get through behind the scenes!”
Cried the blonde elf woman.
An elf woman in decadent attire, barely covering her voluptuous body with a white veil, let out a loud cry, revealing her alertness.
Corte dos Liberia, who has fallen into the Demon King of Explosives.
She is clearly seeking revenge.
It was clear that they would be grinding their teeth for revenge against those who had murdered all of her family, including her father.
“Don’t be rash, Eldtai.”
“I should have already revoked her qualifications given to Corte.”
“The Demon King of Explosive Slaughter can never open the way to the back end. As long as I don’t twist the whole space where this behind the scenes is hidden….”
The last time I spoke to a blonde elf named Eldtai,
I heard something cracking.
Boom, blah!
So, so, so, so——!!
A gap that has begun to crack.
Cold air flowed from the tiny gap.
A white blizzard began to rush in from the gap where the cold air flowed.
Sensing the cold that enveloped them and the blizzard that was blowing with the intent of harming their bodies, the elves behind the scenes uttered their voices in amazement as to where the composure they had shown until now had gone.
A gap forced open.
In an independent space, outside forces intervened behind the scenes.
The door of severance that the priests had created so that outside forces could never intervene behind the scenes began to be eroded by the white snowstorm.
