Chapter 823 – #6-39 Final Battle, Villain No. 13 vs. Snow White Fairy (1)
『Take it. This is the proof of your victory over me.』
『I swear by my blood and by my horn. From now on, I will never cause any harm to Hero No. 13 and his companions who defeated me.』
『As long as this horn is in your hand, this promise will continue forever.』
No. 13, who won the battle against Jeokhwa before her, received her broken horn from her.
The horn broken by the spade’s final blow. I heard that it is like the source of power for goblins.
『However, as I said, if you return this horn, the contract ends there. This promise has become something that never happened.』
『But if you give me back this horn.』
“Once. Just once. For you, I will lend you this strength to defeat your enemies.』
As a goblin, she made such a promise to No. 13.
All the combatants of the 13th and 7th divisions, all of whom are her strength, will cling to her and allow her to borrow the power of the goblin that she barely managed to subdue.
And No. 13 decided to receive the reward for that promise in this battlefield.
He returned her horn to Sim Cheong and promised her assistance in this fight.
Even with her help, it was still unclear whether it would be possible to subdue the fairy.

“【Blue Dragon, Suzaku, Yellow Book, Jinhu, Kirin, Black Ox, Blood and Soil, Yeonggyeon】.”
“【Everyone come out and protect me】.”
New spiritual creatures appear one after another around Snow White floating in the air.
These are spiritual creatures like the white tiger and Nokjon that appeared a little while ago. Even the green zone that was blown away after being hit by an enemy fire has now gathered itself and returned to its original place.
Then, Baekseol stretched out his hand, and the spirit creatures fell from the sky to the ground at once.
Mer and Jeokhwa respond to the falling spirits.
Two spirit creatures also rush towards No. 13.
Blood and soil and spirit dogs. As the name suggests, a bright red rabbit and a dog as black as a shadow and as big as a cow.
The spirit creatures that were rushing forward were forced to retreat by the waves of ice that rose up from the bottom. The small blood and soil were able to avoid the rising sharp crystal pillar, but the large Yeonggyeon was unable to avoid it and was pierced through. However, the pierced body slowly melted away and quickly returned to its original state as if nothing had happened.
“No. 13. Please step back a little further.”
“Okay. “Please do me a favor, Rahe.”
Needless to say, the person who summoned the ice was Rahe.
She is wearing a pure white shirt instead of a uniform, and is facing forward, holding her child’s sword in one hand.
After adjusting her stance, her blood and soil and her spirit dog rush to her again. Her blood and soil runs over the ice floor and crystal pillars with her light body, and the spirit swims under the ice, hiding in the shadows on the floor.
Rahe is calm in front of the two spirits that are approaching in an instant.
She plunged her sword in her hand straight into the floor. Along with that, a strange starlight flowed from her other hand.
“【Bloom, flower of ice】.”
The words of the chant.
With that, her magic power exploded from her.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa!!!
Only this time, a vicious ice wall that did not allow evasion was instantly summoned, a large ice wall made up of sharp crystal pillars.
“… “As expected, it’s amazing.”
Number 13, who was watching the scene from behind, muttered with a disgusted smile.
Rahe looked back at Number 13 for a moment, and then she ran off along the rough, slanted face of the ice wall.
At the end of the ice wall, there is a snow-white fairy standing in the air.
A large ice pick was pointed at her as well, but the tip of her ice pick was cut pointlessly.
“… A pure thing.”
Not only did she swat away the spirit creatures, but she also steadily attacked herself. In response to that curiosity, Baekseol adjusted the sword in her hand without even hiding her unpleasant smile.

『Three times.』
That’s what Dorothy and Bellflower said.
With the broken ‘cube piece’ in front of you.
『Probably, once used, each piece will lose its strength and turn into an ordinary stone block. So, there are only three opportunities to use it.』
The ‘cube’ cracked due to overuse during a previous battle with the Red Army.
Dorothy and Bellflower cheerfully split the cracked thing into three pieces.
Of course, the output decreases accordingly. Safety is better than when it was cracked, but it can’t be compared to when it’s completely one.
『So use it only at important moments. So that you don’t end up not being able to use it when you really need it.』
Dorothy warned that, but No. 13 told her not to worry.
The cube was split into three pieces, and I had already thought about where each piece would be used.

“【What you need is a boat to go on a trip】.”
“【Give me that boat, right now】.”
Along with participating in the battle from Jeokhwa and Mer to Lahe, No. 13 also completed his chanting of his magic.
“【Graciares Argo】.”
No. 13’s power is actually not very suitable for direct combat.
If he somehow applies that ability, he can display the power of a captain, but his true value lies in raising the strength of the weak and turning them into an elite corps. In addition, his true character is to further increase the power of the already strong.
So, this time, what he chants is the same as always, the spell to take out that golden boat.
However, after finishing the chant, what appeared in front of him was not the large golden ship Argo as he had expected, but a large golden sculpture.
What appeared was the characteristic head of the Argonauts. The leader, which can also be called a symbol, is meant to bless the journey of the ship and those who leave on the ship.
However, rather than having such a meaning, the leader summoned here is simply meant to replace the ship.
“Because it would be a huge waste to bring in the whole ship.”
There is no need to take out the entire boat. It’s not like I’m going to summon a ship and attack. Thankfully, thanks to the fairy changing the battlefield, there was no need to worry about that either.
Just by calling out this leader, some degree of assistance and correction will be provided to those he recognizes as allies within a wide area around him. Of course, it’s not as bad as bringing in the entire ship, but…
‘I don’t know how long this will last.’
Number 13 fiddled with the cube piece in his hand. The starlight emitted by the piece is noticeably weaker than before, and is shaking dangerously.
It is one of the cubes divided into three pieces. Of the three, another one was given to Rahe, who had not yet recovered her strength, and the remaining one was――
“No. 13. Then let’s begin.”
“Me too.”
“Yes, please take care of both of us.”
Asche and Olivia, who were waiting for their turn next to No. 13, speak respectively.
Magical power blooms from Asche’s hand, and then creates an illusion like a large clock on the lead created by No. 13.
Asche’s 【Time Magic】.
With a ticking sound, the leading time he called out stops. This reduces the magic attribute that No. 13 must consume to maintain the lead. Even if the magic power of the cube piece in your hand is broken, this lead will continue to be maintained.
Olivia is next to her, quickly writing something down in her notebook. The scrawled content praises his colleagues, including No. 13. In addition, new additional effects are listed and written in the leader called by No. 13.
Olivia’s magic [Real Story] Is currently in progress, strengthening everyone’s power. It removes any bad luck and brings about unexpected good luck. At the same time, the leader taken out by No. 13 also adds strength so that it can exert the same level of force as taking out a whole boat with just that leader.
That is, full power.
I scrape everything I have, right down to the bottom.
The power of a fairy who has lived for hundreds of years can never be guessed. Even in the previous battle, he had not been able to see the fairy’s power properly, so No. 13 decided to do the best he could, thinking that no matter how much he prepared, it would not be enough.
‘Please let it end like this, fairy.’
With a prayerful heart, No. 13 placed his hands on the golden spear erected next to him.

A spirit creature summoned by Baek Seol.
Two of them were defeated by Rahe, two are being dealt with by Mer, and the remaining six are being dealt with by Goblin Red Flower alone.
Each of the spirit creatures is a mysterious beast that has easily lived for over 100 to 200 years. Disasters that can destroy a city in one night.
In the case of the two that Rahe defeated, they were younger and their status as spirit creatures was lowered accordingly. However, the people Mer and Red Hwa are dealing with are not as soft as those two.
In particular, two of the six enemies that the enemy is fighting, the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger, are sacred creatures with a thousand-year history engraved on them… It will be that much more difficult to deal with.
In fact, there is chaos happening there, with fire and wind summoned by spirit creatures and lightning summoned by red fire striking and clashing here and there. The scene of a terrible disaster. If Baek Seol hadn’t changed the battlefield, there would have been an uproar in the world, saying the end of the world had come.
Anyway, Jeokhwa and Mer are fighting loudly in their respective battlefields.
Likewise, in the air, Baek Seol and Rahe clash with each other and engage in fierce sword fighting.
“… !”
A sword wrapped in cold and magic is swung. It was a blade that flashed like a flash of light, but the sword light flowed like water and was thrown away.
The sound heard was too gentle and soft to be the melody of swordplay occurring between blades.
Unlike Rahe, who charges at her with all her ferocious intent, Snow White’s eyes look at Rahe with a relaxed, bird’s-eye view – and skillfully put away her blade again.
Rahe’s sword flashes again along with the cold wind that bites her skin. 7 consecutive hits in an instant. However, as expected, Baek Seol defeats them all with his cultivated skills and experienced intuition. Next, increase the speed and power and perform 10 consecutive attacks. As expected, it was blocked. Everything is shed.
“Now that’s enough. Stop it. “I don’t want to hurt the body that will be mine from now on.”
Baek Seol speaks, as if showing his composure.
Unlike Rahe, who is ferocious and exudes sharp courage, Baekseol is as peaceful as a mountain or a forest.
“You would be happy to follow your superior’s orders, right? No matter how unfair the order, wasn’t it always followed? Isn’t that the wish of your constellation for order and justice?”
The sword is thrown away again. However, this time, he used the recoil to distance himself from Baek Seol.
With that, Rahe points the tip of the sword towards Baekseol.
“【Bloom, the flower of ice】.”
The words of the chant.
At the same time, a storm of cold swirled around Baekseol, and ice picks and pillars appeared in a place where there had been nothing.
It is like a prison or an instrument of execution, imprisoning Baek Seol and attacking him from all directions.
But as expected, it was no use.
“… Oh, my. Lahe, I didn’t know you were such a disobedient child. Is it because you have bad friends? This is why you have to be selective about the friends you make.”
Around her snow-white body, each of the ice chunks that were meant to attack her were cut, broken, or partially destroyed as if they had been eaten away… It became fragments and fell to the ground.
Even with that level of attack, Baek Seol didn’t suffer any injuries, and her breathing wasn’t disrupted either.
As expected, she is not easygoing. Rahe squeezed the cube in her hand again.
The starlight flowing from the sculpture was still brilliant, but compared to before, it seemed a little duller.
