Part 2, Episode 254.
That was not only the forces of the Arnis Empire.
—–!
Waaahhhhh!
The legions of Sargis and Fratel, who were besieging the east and west respectively, also let out a roar and were deployed to the battlefield.
[The Great Holy Magic ‘Day of Judgment’ is activated.]
[The Rope of Judgment confirms the target’s evil deeds.]
[14,241 wrongdoings have been confirmed.]
[The refereeing will proceed.]
“What terrible evil deeds are these… Was the hero truly right?”
Show the power of the Knights of Lair!
“Help your benefactor!”
Even the priests of Brion and the Knights of Lair were joining the formation.
Among them, the first to draw a sword was none other than Sir Leved.
—!
As he delivered a blow that split the tidal wave,
A beam of light flashed, and a slash flew through the air, splitting the front in half.
Overwhelming swordsmanship befitting someone called Jun Chilgang.
“Lord Leved! Why on earth would you…!”
“I can overlook the others, but you’re a Paladin! You serve the god Lair, so how dare you betray him!?”
“……I have never betrayed anyone. I am merely fulfilling the promise made when I gave you the feather card.”
Toward the users protesting their sense of injustice, Leved simply rebuked them with an indifferent gaze.
Rioru opens the inauguration.
Following this, as Sir Leved made his first appearance, reports of his exploits began to spread from all corners, as if determined not to be outdone.
[The White Tower Master deploys Magic Engineering-style Weaponry – White Calculation Cannon Squad.]
[Magic bullets generated from the multi-layered computational circle change their trajectories and pierce enemies from all directions.]
“Oh, so this is how it activates. There might be a few areas that need further refinement… Now, there is much to experiment with, so please hold out for a long time, Apostles.”
“You f***ing b****! This isn’t right!”
“You said the Executioner would win. You said he would win no matter what!! You said the Executioner was the favorite!”
The White Tower Master who wields magic utilizing all sorts of unique magical engineering, and
Flash-! Whoosh!
“His Majesty Lior has opened the way!”
“Follow His Majesty!”
The leadership stemming from the unstoppable vanguard breakthrough of Lior, who has boasted outstanding martial prowess since his days as the First Prince, and the overwhelming military power of a ten-million-strong army.
It was a truly formidable display of power, proving that he was not called the Emperor of the Empire for nothing.
However, Dohyeon’s gaze was drawn even more to another place.
Strictly speaking, we do not constitute a significant military force. However, we can secure the most advantageous formation. We will assist the Empire in fighting with the utmost advantage.
“Yes, Lord!”
“Alright, let’s begin. For Sargis’s benefactor, Lord Kaiser!”
“For!”
Objectively assessing their own strengths and accurately identifying tasks to be done to issue orders.
It was a masterful display of leadership that was unbelievable for the previously inexperienced Jay Ruddell.
After Jay Ruddel revealed that he was the Lord of the castle.
I heard that Sargis had a bloodbath and made quite a lot of progress…
Wink.
Dohyeon let out a chuckle involuntarily at the sight of Jay Ruddell lightly winking as their eyes met.
For some reason, I felt like I was becoming like my uncle, Jean Ruddell.
But the most surprising thing is, as expected… … .
[Gilberun, the Holy Lord of Fratel, deploys the ‘Great Heavenly Star Ring of Light’.]
[A massive magic circle imbued with the energy of the night sky covers the battlefield.]
“My God… this is a magic circle?”
“What kind of magic circle is this size!? It stretches out for over 100 meters!”
“What an astonishing amount of magical power…! To think a human body can wield a massive magic circle of this magnitude all by itself!?”
It was Gilberun, the benevolent ruler of Fratel.
A king born with vast magical power, but who met a tragic end because he could not control the unmanageable amount of magic.
Having finally set everything right, he was now controlling his magical powers with unparalleled brilliance.
-Hoho, that is an amount of magical power comparable to a dragon.
Even Drakar, who was casting Dragon Language, paused for a moment in admiration.
Considering that he was at the level of a Grand Mage despite having only recently begun to properly wield magical power, it was indeed a quality befitting one born with the most vast magical power in all of recorded history.
Hana Gilberun simply closed her eyes and calmly completed the magic circle.
[Gilberun, the benevolent ruler of Fratel, has activated the ‘Great Heavenly Star Ring Formation’.]
[‘Baptism of Starlight’ rains down across the entire enemy territory.]
[Unleashes a baptism imbued with star energy upon all enemies in the area, dealing massive damage.]
[The effect of Heavenly Light Wheel Grand Formation, ‘Blessing of the Holy Lord,’ rests upon the entire allied force.]
[While the area is maintained, the opponents’ magical power and physical abilities increase significantly.]
Gilberun, having finished forming, slowly opened his eyes.
Waaahhhhh-!!
“……Angela, are you watching?”
Watching the warriors fighting valiantly, he muttered in a low voice.
“The day has finally come to repay your kindness. So please… I hope you will watch over me.”
The various emotions in the eyes were fleeting.
He is now the King leading Fratel and one of only three Archmages on the continent.
As Gilberun prepared to cast a spell once again, his gaze had transformed into the wise and firm eyes of a great mage.
Kugugugugu- Kuung-!
It was then that the giants, who had been staying still all along, began to step forward.
– Yo, Jotunheim joins the battle!
Damn it… …!
-So, in the end, they are stepping forward… … .
At this, some of the other races could not hide their fear and sighed.
Bahargon and Jotunheim.
As a race that knew about the owners of the two thrones, they had no choice but to be terrified.
The reason Bahargon was called the Lord of Magic rather than the strongest creature, despite his massive size and powerful breath, was simple.
-For Jotunheim—!
… … Because in terms of pure military power, Jotunheim is the strongest.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!!
It is not as if anything significant was done.
They simply brought down the war maces they held in their hands in unison.
A tremendous roar spread, and the ground split open and surged as if the destruction of the world were being reenacted.
Boom.
A giant walked the path that caused disaster with a single blow.
His exposed upper body is covered in scars, and his muscles, bulging out like lightning, are massive, looking as if a mountain range had been forcibly molded into a human form.
Each scar etched into the bronze skin remained like a medal from an ancient battlefield.
The two eyes revealed beneath his disheveled white hair held not ferocity, but the majesty of a king who crushes and subjugates everything.
Boom- Thump-
With every step he takes, the earth screams.
Gulp.
The sight of him walking across the collapsed ground looked less like a warrior and more like war itself taking form and walking toward him.
That much of an overwhelming presence.
[Encountered the owner of the second throne, the Giant King ‘Grotan Jotunheim’.]
[The giants of Jotunheim join the war.]
Thank you for waking me from my long slumber, warrior.
“…….”
As we accept you as a member of Jotunheim, the spirits of the great ancestors will be with you.
Giant King, Grotan Jotunheim.
The giant, whom everyone feared in ancient times and whom even the gods were wary of, awakened from a long slumber and joined the war.
The first to react to that was none other than Cardium.
-What on earth is this… … .
“Do I still look like I’m at a disadvantage? To me, it looks the opposite.”
-… … .
It was confusing.
My mind raced so fast that I couldn’t even respond to Dohyeon’s sarcasm.
It was fine up to Bahargon.
The number of them themselves wasn’t large, and there was the variable of the powerful beings of the abyss.
Even if it wasn’t them, it was clear that eventually, as time passed, the other side would be the one losing.
Because there was an absolute difference in power.
However, if Jotunheim has also intervened… … I can no longer be certain.
The giants of Jotunheim are warriors, each possessing overwhelming power.
The individual’s strength surpasses that old man who was called the King of Fists among humans.
Then, what about the Giant King?
[The mighty of the abyss, ‘Lord of Destruction’ clashes with the Giant King Grotan Jotunheim.]
– You filthy one who sold your soul to the abyss, kneel before Jotunheim.
[You… … I will kill you… … Legion, destroy him… … !]
At the very least, a powerful being of the Abyss… … .
Among them, when considering only pure power, he was going head-to-head with the most powerful Master of Destruction and was by no means being pushed back.
Boom!
… … No, on the contrary, I am pushing forward.
Whenever the Master of Destruction’s mace and the Giant King’s exclusive weapon, the Giant Spirit Overlord Staff, clashed, a deafening roar echoed.
[Ugh… … Hurry and help me… … .]
The more that happens, the more clearly it is visible that the Master of Destruction is struggling.
These damn bastards… … !!
Was the betrayal by the people I trusted without a doubt such a big blow?
Cardium shed the dignity he had maintained all along and, unable to contain his anger, spat out a curse.
[Kuh-huh… Hahaha! The aura of death couldn’t be stronger. Things are getting quite amusing, Cardium!]
Shut up! You filthy dregs of the abyss.
[Hehe… You’ve lost your composure. Are you impatient, fallen god?]
-Disgusting things, filthy things. How dare these despicable things… insult me… me?
Cardium, who had expressed his emotions several more times at the immortal master’s sarcasm, let out a long sigh and tried hard to calm himself down, then spoke.
However, his darkened eyes were fixed solely on Dohyeon.
-… … Immortal Master. I propose an alliance.
[Hoho, this is surprising… You, who wouldn’t join hands with us even at the cost of losing the divine throne, are forming an alliance?]
The author must never be allowed to live. He is someone who will hinder my grand goals at any moment.
[Hmm… … .]
So, now. We will definitely snatch the fragments, reclaim the divine throne… and… summon the gods.
[Heh heh… I suppose it doesn’t matter. Fine, but my target is that bastard’s sword itself, which has completed the Vessel of Godslayer… When I am convinced that the completed vessel can kill me… I cancel the alliance.]
… … So that it may be.
It was then that Dohyun let out a hollow laugh as he listened to the conversation between the two.
-… … Are you laughing? Have you lost your mind?
Dohyeon did not stop laughing, even at Cardium’s displeased reaction, which was as if he were looking at an idiot who couldn’t grasp the situation.
Dohyeon stopped only after laughing for a long time and slowly scanned the guys.
There was no fear or tension to be felt in that indifferent gaze.
“I think you’re mistaken. It wasn’t you guys I was constantly worried about.”
It’s embarrassing to even call it certainty…
It was the look of someone spouting an extremely obvious fact.
“It was a difference in the unfavorable forces. All the opponents can’t be defeated before I kill you, can they?”
Dohyeon’s main objective would be to protect the fragments of fate, though.
Ultimately, if you lose the war, the Great War main quest will be recorded as a defeat.
Because Dohyun can’t win against all of them alone.
But what about now?
“Anyone can see that we are the ones winning, not you guys.”
Now, all that matters is focusing on these two.
That wasn’t a very difficult task.
Their strength has already been determined from the clash with them.
-… … How dare you show off.
[O Vessel… … Even if you have perfected your own God-Slaying Sword… … That is impossible. You seem to be too arrogant.]
Did his pride get hurt?
Even the immortal master shows no trace of a smile.
However, for Dohyeon, it was neither arrogance nor a failure to make an objective judgment.
The reason it was difficult in the 2:1 situation until just now is because it is the ‘current’ Dohyeon.

Descent of the Black Dragon
The forbidden technique that originally could not endure even a moment without the Tears of God.

… … .
-What is this… … .
I feel an overwhelming power, as if I have become a different person.
Shocked by this, Cardium forgot his dignity and gaped.
[… … Even so, I am an immortal being. Not even that peculiar sword of yours can kill me… … .]
[The Book of Defiance is reading the narratives intertwined with the caster and the target to search for the appropriate power.]

[Completely ignores immune cells.]
“I think I could kill him?”
[… … .]
The immortal master, who had been crying out for death all along, fell silent.
I felt the incomparably vivid aura of death right before my eyes.
