Into the Creations 1313

Chapter 1313 – 1313. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into A Baron’S Family

With the necromancer gone, the situation was over.

The rampaging undead disappeared, and the mansion, which had turned into a labyrinth, returned to its original state. The invisible wall that had blocked the mansion from the outside due to the labyrinth transformation also vanished. The broken parts of the mansion were also perfectly restored, as if time had been reversed.

However, the human corpses scattered throughout the mansion did not disappear.

“Master. I’m sorry, but I need to go to my father. I need to check the extent of the damage and reassure the knights and soldiers.”

She would become the Archduchess of Archen today. To secure the loyalty of her vassals and soldiers, she needed to actively step forward and resolve the situation.

“Go ahead. Are you hurt anywhere?”

“My clothes are a bit scorched. A lich is a lich, after all. Honestly, if more time had passed, it would have been dangerous. Oh, can I take that guy with me?”

Melissa pointed to the man lying on the shelter. He was the one whose limbs had been cut off and was being gnawed at by insects. He had lost consciousness, but he was still breathing, so he was alive. It was uncertain how long he could last.

“Do as you please. But I don’t think you’ll get much information from him.”

“Why do you think so? He might have very important information. For example, information about the weaknesses of the Pantheon.”

“Well, it would be good if we got additional information. But it doesn’t really matter. I already know most of the information anyway.”

“If Master says so… Hmm. I guess I’ll interrogate him a bit and then execute him. Executing him in front of people will stir up their desire for revenge.”

“……”

“Master. You seem to be deep in thought. Are you bothered by what the necromancer said?”

“The necromancer, though a fake created by the power of a demon, was a parallel version of me based on this world and me. There’s credibility in what he said.”

The necromancer was a manifestation of another possibility of me that might exist.

More than anything, the reason I believed him was that he knew about the Leisure Life App. In this world, there is only one person besides me who knows about my ability, the Leisure Life App.

Yuria.

There was no way she would have gone around blabbing about my ability.

Melissa seemed to have an idea about my ability, but there was a clear difference between being certain and having an idea. And she would never reveal such important information to anyone.

“I honestly don’t trust it.”

“That’s unexpected. I thought you would believe what that guy said.”

“My lady. That’s why it’s not credible, starting with Yuria’s death. I find it hard to imagine her being defeated and killed, even if the opponent is a Demon King.”

“Well, me too. But… if the opponent is a Demon King, there’s a good chance.”

“I see. I understand. I’ll leave the necromancer to you, Master. I should take this guy with me now. The wind is quite chilly. Don’t stay outside too long.”

Melissa grabbed the demon contractor’s head and headed towards the main building.

“Melissa.”

“Yes?”

“I can’t sleep without a woman. You know that, right?”

“Haha. Of course. I’ll be back to serve you before midnight, so wait for me.”

Melissa left, and I was left alone in the lily garden. It was quiet all around.

The image of the dead Yuria wouldn’t disappear from my mind. Her dead appearance, which I had never imagined, was quite shocking.

‘I have [Resurrection of the Dead] and [Life and Death Authority], so I can revive Yuria even if she dies. But can I revive her even if her soul is annihilated…?’

I don’t know.

In most creative works, there are many settings where resurrection magic or items don’t work if the soul is annihilated.

‘I don’t know if that applies to the Leisure Life App. And it’s not something I can easily experiment with….’

When you’re not sure, it’s best to be careful.

Of course, even if resurrection is possible, I have no intention of letting Yuria die.

‘First, I need to inform Yuria of this information and prevent her from acting recklessly. It’s still too early to conclude that the Demon King is in the human realm. It’s best to be cautious, considering it as a possibility.’

The goal of the Demon Society, the Pantheon, is to summon the Demon King to the human realm. If the Pantheon had already achieved its goal, there would be no reason for them to join hands with Dulibard. They wouldn’t have tried to kill me and Melissa either.

‘The Pantheon might not know that the Demon King is in the human realm.’

I don’t trust the original story’s development. I’ve come too far to believe in the original story. Didn’t the necromancer say it too? Not to blindly believe the information from the original story.

‘But there are things I can trust. The original settings. The basic settings that Yuria is the greatest genius in the world and that Kyle is a reincarnator haven’t changed. So, the Demon King’s abilities will also be as set.’

If he is the Demon King, he would be able to cross over to the human realm using his power. However, it is highly likely that he lost his power as a price. So, he is not acting openly and is hiding his appearance while recovering his power. This hypothesis was quite plausible.

‘…The labyrinth city of Lavitra…. I should go there carefully later. I also need to get the Shadow Chain Glaive.’

The conclusion was one thing. To check it myself. That was the fastest and easiest way.

‘Full recovery.’

[Using Full Recovery.]

The wound on my side and the fatigue accumulated in my body disappeared completely.

My lightened body felt refreshed. My mood improved as my condition improved.

The war with Dulibard would begin tomorrow. I’ll think about the Demon King later.

‘Kill Dulibard and rescue Priscilla. It won’t be too late to look for the Demon King after that. …Maybe.’

The necromancer’s last appearance came to mind.

My appearance, hugging the dead Yuria’s corpse and disappearing.

I will never become like that.

•••

The capital of the Cobalt Kingdom is visible in the distance. The capital of the Cobalt Kingdom, towering under a clear sky without a single cloud, was magnificent and beautiful.

However, from the perspective of someone who had to attack that city… it was more nauseating than beautiful.

“What’s with the city walls being over 20 meters high?”

Scarlett, who was beside me, heard my small grumble. She had recently become my vassal and was in a relationship with Marquis Leona Daykerd.

“According to the information, the walls weren’t originally this high. According to the reports from the spies we planted, King Dulibard had mages build the walls… But even with magic, it’s impossible to build such elaborate walls in just a few days. It must be the power of the demon Cloudden of the fortress.”

“That damn demon bastard. He tripped me up when I first advanced, and now he’s being a nuisance here too.”

“There’s no need to feel impatient. Time is on our side. Melissa… no, Archduchess Archen has successfully carried out the rebellion. Thanks to that, we’ve completely cut off the supply lines connected to the Cobalt Royal Castle and have it surrounded as it is now.”

Currently, the Cobalt Royal Castle was surrounded. In front of the castle was the army I had led, and at the back gate was the rebel army led by Melissa.

“Our army has 250,000 soldiers. On the other hand, the Cobalt Royal Army is estimated to be 50,000. That’s a five-fold difference. No matter how high and strong the enemy’s walls are, the difference of 200,000 is absolute.”

“The problem is that there are guys who can change that absolute.”

“You mean the demons.”

“Yes. They’re cornered, so they’ll use their power without holding back. And if they use their power…”

“They will target me, the commander, first. I have prepared for that, so don’t worry.”

“In the worst case, a Red Dragon might appear and breathe fire on the army.”

“In that case, I will use a space teleportation scroll to escape.”

Scarlett said firmly. The cold-blooded her had no noble intention of dying gloriously with the army.

“Scarlett. We must win this war.”

“Yes. I know. This will probably be the last continental war. After this war, there won’t be any large-scale wars for 20 years. It’s a shame.”

“We have to win as brutally as possible. I wish the losses of our army were more than 70%.”

“The plan is already set. If it goes according to plan… more than 80% of our soldiers will die. I will be remembered as a terrible commander. No, since we will win, I won’t be remembered as a terrible commander.”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. I’ve never wanted fame. And I’ve already enjoyed myself enough under my lord. And I will continue to enjoy myself in the future. Because war will never disappear from this world.”

Scarlett smiled brightly. There was not a hint of falsehood in that smile.

Some time passed. Scarlett checked her wristwatch and said to me.

“My lord. It’s time. Please give the order as commander.”

I went up onto the prepared platform. I drew my sword from my waist and pointed it at the royal castle.

“All troops, charge!!!”

I shouted, putting strength into my abdomen. My voice was amplified by mana and spread in all directions.

“Waaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!”

With a roar that filled the sky, the soldiers charged towards the enemy’s walls. Of course, they didn’t charge without anything. The prepared siege weapons began to work, and the tall siege towers advanced towards the walls.

I watched the scene from the platform and was impressed. It was spectacular. It was like watching a scene from a movie.

“Ah, ah, ah….”

Scarlett was trembling. She looked at the charging army with a blissful expression.

“How can it be so lovely….”

Drip, drip.

My sensitive hearing picked up the sound of water dripping. It was the sound coming from under Scarlett’s feet. It was definitely her vaginal fluid. I decided to stay still, out of consideration for Scarlett. From now on, she would be extremely busy.

“Oh?”

Something was flying in a straight line from the royal castle. It was aimed directly at my head. I deflected it with my sword. It was a steel arrow.

“An arrow flying accurately here from over 3km away… Technology? Relic? Magic? Demonic power? I don’t know which it is, but there’s an unusual guy. Just as I expected.”

If you receive something, it’s only right to return the favor.

I summoned Stormbreaker from my inventory and held it in my hand. The spearhead of Stormbreaker, which had a magnificent appearance, shone sharply.

Thunder Heaven Style (雷天流) Ten Thousand Thunders (卍雷).

Lightning rotated and compressed at the tip of the spear. I focused my concentration and compressed the lightning to the limit. Looking at the tip of the spear, I felt a sense of regret.

‘I feel like I could do something more….’

Crack.

The compressed lightning was about to be released. I focused my concentration again and threw the spear.

The spear tore through the air and hit the wall. At the same time, the compressed lightning was released. Lightning swirled around the spear, sweeping in all directions. Three enemy soldiers on the wall were electrocuted and fell to the ground. That was all.

“…It’s not an ordinary wall. If it were an ordinary wall, it would have collapsed.”

“It’s a wall made by a demon. It would be stranger if it were easily breached.”

Scarlett was right. It would be stranger if the wall collapsed with just one spear throw.
