Chapter 392 – 392. Dimensional Gate (1)
After the battle with the three ancient demons, the situation in the plains was serious.
Grass and trees that were severely damaged by melting here and there due to the hydra’s poison and eroding the inside, or turned into stones by Gorgon’s demonic eye.
And the land that had been cracked by the Cyclops’ riot was showing the horrors of the disaster that had occurred here.
Reverse summoning Otto Golem and her army of dolls, and taking the left Emilia with her, Eunhyun moved her steps towards the elves.
Her unwavering step, holding her with both hands so that Illyana, who is sleeping soundly in her own arms, will not wake up, is Eun-hyeon’s consideration for her wife, who played her biggest role in this fight.
“Regina.”
“Teacher. You worked hard.”
At the voice of her Eun-Hyun calling her name, Regina bowed her head to her Eun-Hyun and conveyed her thanks.
Among the three ancient Witchbeasts, the reason why the Elves were able to do their best against the Cyclops was because Eunhyeon took full responsibility for the other two Witchbeasts.
Without Eun-hyeon, his wife, and the doll girl, the elf race, their home, and the world tree might have perished.
“Are you okay. Because I just did what I had to do.”
The destruction of the World Tree is a serious matter that may soon lead to a threat from the underworld.
Eun-hyeon, who was given a mission by the goddess and had to use her strength to maintain the world, could never leave this matter unattended.
“And… It’s not over yet.”
“… Yes?”
Regina asked back with a puzzled look at Eunhyun’s words, which hardened her expression and hinted that the incident was not over yet.
“There’s no way that an ancient witch who reigns as a higher predator in the Pandemonium has crossed over to the lower world all of a sudden without any sign or reason.”
“…”
Even one of them would be enough to be called a disaster, but not one, but three.
Just as high-level demons cannot enter the lower world through the void from the demon world, this rule exists for high-level demons as well.
The restrictions imposed on it were weaker than those of the demons, but the situation that had passed to the underworld was obviously strange.
“There is. Someone who orchestrated this situation.”
The existence of someone hidden behind the creation of a certain ’cause’ and ‘process’ in order to create the ‘result’ of ‘the three ancient demons were summoned in the underworld.’
After hearing Eunhyun’s story, Regina recognized the seriousness of her situation and hardened her face.
If his story is true, it means that if certain conditions and means are met, it is possible to summon the ancient witch beast, which is no different from a disaster, back here.
“Emilia.”
“Yes.”
“Take care of Illyana.”
“I accept your order.”
Emilia received Illyana’s body from Eunhyun, who had fallen asleep due to her extreme mental exhaustion.
The sight of a doll girl barely taller than Eun-hyeon’s waist lightly hugging a grown-up witch is very foreign.
“Great job. Regina. Take Illyana and Emilia to the forest.”
“Teacher?”
Regina stopped Eunhyun, who was about to move right away.
“… Where are you going?”
“To find the person who orchestrated this situation.”
“I will follow.”
“No. Regina. I will go here alone.”
Eunhyun shook her head.
“But…”
“You are the queen who has to lead these elves.”
“…”
As long as she had the position and responsibility to represent her tribe, Regina’s unilateral actions could not be permitted.
“I will lead the rest.”
After hearing the circumstances, the two elves approached Eunhyeon and Regina and talked to them.
The two elves who are the former and current search leader of the Elven Guard.
It was Derkin and another elf.
“Derkin?”
“Would you please give me the position of leader of the Elven Guard search team once more?”
“I would also like to ask.”
Although they said that they had left the forest and spent a considerable amount of time outside, the members of the Elven Guard did not forget the face of Derkin, who had led and led them before, and recognized all of them.
In the first place, less than a year since Derkin and his wife and daughter followed Eunhyeon and started living in the forest is a very short moment for the elves.
The former and current head of the Elven Guard had come together and expressed their intention to lead the Elven Guard and the elven soldiers in place of Queen Regina.
“The Queen, please do as the Queen wishes.”
“… Teacher.”
As the pace of her subordinate elves fell, Regina became more and more determined to accompany her.
“I can’t leave everything to the teacher to finish.”
I have already received too much help.
The subjugation of the ancient demons 300 years ago, the fight between the dark elves and elves twice, and the resurrection of the World Tree.
I have received so much help, but I am not able to repay the favor at all.
Eunhyun let out a small sigh.
Regina’s words and actions, which stubbornly reveal her intention to accompany her, remind her of the character of her predecessor, the Elf Queen, who entrusted Regina to Eun-hyeon 300 years ago.
“What happened, these things look exactly alike…”
“Her mother would probably laugh if she heard it.”
Regina smiled and hit back Eunhyun’s words.
“Okay. Okay.”
“Thank you.”
Finally, when she nodded her head to confirm her consent, Regina squeezed her own huge hornbeam and bowed her head respectfully to express her gratitude.
“Do not do that. You are a queen now.”
“But a teacher is a teacher.”
A situation in which Regina, who has grown up as the representative of a race and is fulfilling her duties as a queen, bows her head to Eun-hyeon, an individual, and shows her respect.
It is also connected to the meaning that all the elves under her respect that individual, Eun-hyeon.
The larger the scale, the greater the burden that must be borne.
Eunhyeon had to sigh as the burden on her was growing out of control.
“… Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
◆ ◆ ◆
The interior of a dark cave with no light at all.
What illuminates the view inside are dozens of candles.
Candles arranged at regular intervals on both sides and a large altar in the deepest place.
A woman sitting in her chair on the altar sensed two beings invading the barrier she had spread.
Resting her chin on her chin with her hand on her armrest, the woman tilted her head to the side of her chin and closed her eyes, and the woman opened her eyes slowly.
Without even trying to hide the fact of their intrusion, they approached the inside of the cave with dignified steps, and two beings appeared in front of the woman sitting on the chair at the altar.
“Long time no see.”
“…”
Eun-hyun, a man with silver hair, frowned at the woman’s words and actions as she greeted her with a smile, as if she were welcoming a good friend.
“I don’t think we’re close enough to chat like that.”
“Still, it’s pretty special, isn’t it? The man who stabbed me in the stomach and cut my throat.”
“…”
Regina, the elf woman who had accompanied Eunhyeon, hardened her impression and did not let go of her wariness.
She looked back and forth between Eun-hyeon and the woman sitting on her altar chair.
‘… Cut the throat?’
Even so, she sees the woman in front of her who is alive and well, and makes an expression of incomprehension.
Eunhyun finally opened her mouth.
“He didn’t die either.”
After confirming that Renat, a woman who had been working as a subordinate of Mediah with Marius, was in good shape, Eun-hyeon immediately summoned her sword in both her hands and put her magic into it.
She let out a vicious flesh so that at any moment he could run right in and decapitate her.
Even Regina, who was next to her, flinched and panicked with her dark and bloody intent to kill, which was far from the image of Eun-hyun, who always had room in some part.
Even though he was directly accepting the killing spree against everyone and everything related to Mediah, the queen of the dead that he hated and hated the most in the world, Renato only smiled.
“…”
Seeing this, Regina was just puzzled.
Eun-hyeon’s murderous intent and energy are so unusual that even Regina, who is with her, trembles.
Does it mean that her woman, who is confronting Eun-hyeon and herself, is strong enough to laugh at Eun-hyeon’s current appearance?
Or is she hiding some trump card?
As for Regina, she couldn’t see through Renat’s ulterior motives in front of her.
“Again, what kind of order did you receive from Mediah?”
“Unfortunately, this time it’s not at her instigation.”
“… What?”
“The reason he was interested in me and made me his servant was because of my abilities.”
Eunhyeon and Regina reflexively stared at the huge door floating in the air above her altar chair.
“… Door?”
Regina’s voice, which she hadn’t seen before, was mixed with bewilderment because the elf’s sensitive senses warned her about the mana of nature around her.
Like Eun-Hyun, she is different from others, but unlike Eun-Hyeon, she has a strong sense of foreboding, the kind that makes you feel very ominous and reluctant.
“I am a horse. By twisting the providence of this world, we can create a door that connects dimensions to dimensions.”
“… !”
“Well, although it requires a huge amount of souls in return.”
Eunhyeon and Regina’s expressions hardened in an instant when they heard Renat’s calmly revealing ability.
Because I could immediately understand what it meant.
When she first summoned the corpse of her elder dragon in front of her, she could think that her ability, which had part of the ‘spirit of God’ like Belldandi, was not simply a ‘space movement’ type ability. .
According to Renat’s explanation, if the souls to be sacrificed are equipped, it is possible to create a gap on the other side of the void and create a passage connecting the underworld and the underworld.
It is the same as the story that the invasion of demons and beasts will begin again, and it means that what happened on Earth 400 years ago may happen again.
“… Say. Who is behind you?”
Mediah became a transcendent person who slaughtered a large number of humans and consumed their souls to break free from the human frame, but Renat’s ability was not obtained from Mediah.
Refining a part of her divine power, she was bestowed with authority.
Just as Eunhyeon trained a part of her soul and divine power to create her own authority as a ‘key’.
It was not thought that Renat, who still exists within the frame of a human, would have achieved that on his own.
Someone transferred some of that god’s power to Renat.
Realizing this possibility, Eunhyeon asked Belldandi to investigate in secret, saying that there might be a being among the gods who was doing tricks that could pose a danger to the underworld.
However, even in the divine realm, the existence of the traitor who secretly bestowed powers on Renat could not be found.
“Well. Am I under any obligation to say that?”
Laughing, Renat quietly rose from the chair.
As soon as Renat moved, Eunhyun immediately called Regina.
“… Regina.”
“… Yes.”
“That woman must be killed here.”
“All right.”
Regina nodded her head without hesitation at Eun-hyeon’s bloody order, revealing her intention to accept.
Her ability to build a passage connecting the underworld and the underworld, and bring the beings of the underworld to this place, is the very seed of danger that will undoubtedly lead to the destruction of the underworld.
I completely agree with Eunhyun’s opinion that Renat should be eliminated.
“I’m not going to be treated as lightly as I was back then…”
[Juhyeonseong Polar Plain]
[Lee Hyeong-hwan-wi (移形換位)]
Eun-hyeon, who was ready to attack at any time, disappeared in an instant like a fog.
Soon after, Eun-hyeon appeared from behind Renat and raised one of the two swords high.
[Siete Swordsmanship]
[Baek Gwang Il Island]
Although she had a history of slitting Renat’s throat once, she used the technique once again to decapitate Renat.
Kaaang!
“Kuh!?”
With a harsh metal sound as if it had hit a lump of metal, Eunhyeon’s sword could not pierce Renat’s flesh.
Eunhyeon immediately looked around Renat’s neck to find out the identity of ‘something’ that blocked her attack.
“… Scales?”
The red scales covering her neck were a visual that reminded her of reptile scales, but more than anything else, what made Eunhyeon frown was the scales’ hardness enough to block her own attacks.
And even though the scales are now extinct, they reminded her of something she had witnessed several times in the past.
“I can’t believe these scales…”
The moment Eunhyeon hesitated while muttering that was a very short moment, less than half a second.
Immediately, Renat swung her arm at Eun-hyeon, who had taken over her back, aiming for his side.
Eun-hyeon evaded Renat’s counterattack by resuming her thoughts, and opened up the distance.
Kwajik!
Soon after, Renat’s body begins to change abnormally.
His trembling arms and legs were covered with red scales and sharp claws sprouted, as appeared on his neck.
Kwajijik!
A pair of wings protruding from the flesh on its back fluttered wildly, showing off its presence.
Although she maintained her human form by maintaining both her arms and legs, her appearance was no longer human.
Eun-hyeon realized what she had done and hardened her face.
“… X year. To synthesize a dragon’s biological tissue and magical energy into his own body.”
“It should be this much, because I thought I might be able to kill you.”
Renat flapped his own wings, which were formed during ‘dragonization’.
Kwaaang!
I just flapped my wings, but the impact of the wings struck the cave, which began to collapse, and the ceiling began to collapse.
“Block it once.”
Renato took a deep breath.
“… ! Regina!”
Realizing what she was trying to do, Eun-hyeon hurriedly called Regina.
But as if she wanted to say that it was too late for her, Renat, who was holding her breath, laughed at Eun-hyeon.
She finally lets out her breath that she has been holding back as much as she can.
[Dragon Tribe Secret]
[Dragon Breath]
The breath of a huge heat wave that fills the collapsing cave hits Regina.
