78 – Revenge (10)

aaa!

Yuna screamed.

Ben leaves as his vision blurs.

I couldn’t hear Syria’s voice screaming next to me. What little sense I had left was chasing Ben.

“Ben… Ben… Ugh… “

Is it karma?

Will all the time Ben has endured be returned as pain in an instant?

But it was unfair. All of that, not even this situation, was what he wanted.

Yuna also suffered from guilt her whole life and was unable to live a proper life.

It hurt so much to know that I was abandoned by him. It felt as if his disgusted gaze was piercing my heart.

What on earth did I do wrong to deserve this kind of punishment?

If there is any sin, it is simply ignorance. Each princess failed to recognize Helia and Ceramide’s betrayal and brought despair to Ben.

Is this a punishment that must be received as Helia and as a member of Helia?

But then why do I have to go through this terrible pain alone?

Why do I have to go through the feelings of losing a loved one and being abandoned by him alone?

Why on earth did I fall in love with him? Why did I have to lose him like that?

I felt resentful of everything.

He didn’t need the greatest talent in history, not even Helia’s throne.

Why did he have this power in the first place?

Why did I have to go up to a higher place because of this force and then fall endlessly like this?

… It was all a useless idea.

It was filled with only despair.

Paang-

The empire’s magic bullets fly from far away.

Even at first glance, it was not an ordinary size, and it was clear that it was flying towards me.

All time begins to pass slowly and fleetingly.

The feeling of the wind brushing against my cheek, the magic bullets getting closer, and the screams of soldiers on the battlefield.

Everything started to flow slowly and felt clear.

I hated it all.

I wanted to destroy everything and leave nothing behind.

Because all of this was meaningless now.

It didn’t matter if it all fell apart.

“all… “

Mana is boiling.

As if responding to an emotional state, mana that had been paused for a while flows through the circuit throughout the body.

I couldn’t feel the pain anymore. Of course, your body will be completely destroyed.

Maybe it was already too late and my body’s reaction had stopped.

“necessary… doesn’t exist… “

Before I knew it, the size of the magic bullet had grown larger.

That meant it was getting closer.

As Makan grew in size, Yuna’s mana began to be released without a single drop.

Biiiiiiiii-

There was no sound anymore.

The light also almost disappeared.

Suddenly, Syria next door comes to mind. What kind of expression is she making now?

I no longer resented her either. She too will die like this.

What went wrong first?

Now Yuna has given up thinking about everything.

A huge light covered the battlefield.

***

“To really reach that far… “

Makan ordered the firing of magic bullets and looked at the place where the signal flare went off.

Ben’s movement as he raced up the ridge looked like a dot.

He really penetrated those enemy forces and found out Yuna’s location.

I didn’t doubt him from the beginning.

Because the hatred he showed toward Helia was true.

However, if he was unable to stop Yuna’s magic and the imperial army was defeated because of it, it was inevitable that the blame would fall on him.

Because it was a major war in history, if you lost a gamble, you definitely needed someone to shift the blame to.

Maybe Ben also knew that, so he desperately searched for Yuna’s location.

From noble mtl dot com

Or maybe he just hated losing to her and not being able to complete his revenge.

In any case, from Macan’s perspective, all he had to do was win the war.

“… hmm?”

When the huge magic bullet that concentrated its firepower reached the location, something that should not have happened happened.

The magic bullet collided with something along with a huge flash of light at the location, causing a vibration so large that it could be felt even from this far away.

explosion.

It was an explosion. The magic bullet fired by the Empire collided with something and exploded, immediately spreading the damage to the surrounding area.

“no way… “Did they use magic in that location?”

Did they collide with more powerful magic to block the magic bullets?

But it was obvious what would happen then. Yuna will also be caught in the explosion and lose her life.

Or was he confident that he could even defend himself?

It was a shocking sight, and Macan was at a loss to give command.

This is because I couldn’t figure out what happened right away.

While everyone was staring blankly at the explosion, Makan was constantly imagining the possibilities in his head.

“ah… !”

But that thought quickly became useless.

“Oh, it’s an attack!”

This is because, along with the huge explosion spreading to the surrounding area, bombardment began at that location.

In other words, Yuuna was alive and started attacking again.

It was a stronger attack this time. It was a widespread meteorite attack, as if meteorites were raining from the sky.

“what… “Deploy the force field immediately!”

It was as large as ever.

Macan hurriedly ordered defense. No, I didn’t think that would work either.

“retreat! Order a retreat! Convert all magic tools to defense and retreat troops!”

No matter how much I tried to block it, I couldn’t survive in that rain.

First of all, the damage could be minimized by mobilizing the troops. It was not time to think about what would happen after that.

Because we were in immediate danger of annihilation.

“What… ?”

Macan stopped for a moment among the troops busily preparing to retreat.

And for a moment, I couldn’t figure out what was happening. He stared blankly at the rain of meteorites that decorated the battlefield.

“what… ”

Yuna’s magic was a disaster. It covered the battlefield like a disaster.

The important thing was that it wasn’t just the Imperial forces that the magic was attacking.

The rain of falling meteorites was devastating regardless of whether it was the Allied camp or the Imperial camp.

Everyone was dying, both allies and enemies.

fall. It just seemed like a scene of destruction.

It was a gigantic force that no single person or nation could resist.

***

“… “That’s all for today.”

Edric defeated all the ministers and fell down on the table.

It was such a difficult situation that I felt like my head would break.

“Why on earth is that like that…? “

It’s been about a week since the war between the Empire and the Allies ended like that.

As the king’s representative, Edric had to pull his hair out every day because of the things he had to deal with.

The day of the last battle.

The indiscriminate bombing that suddenly started where Yuna was was engulfed everyone, both allies and enemies.

Naturally, the damage to the imperial army was severe, and in addition, the damage to the Allied Forces, including Helia, was also greater than expected.

The imperial army retreated. Rather than retreating, it was a situation that had no choice but to do so.

But the Allied forces could not chase after him.

Both the Imperial Army and the Allied Forces suffered damage that could be called annihilation, and it was impossible for both sides to continue the war.

If both sides continued the war, the very pillars of the nation could be shaken.

“Prince.”

In the end, the war ended with neither side gaining anything.

It just ended with an astronomical number of military losses.

What was even scarier was that all of that happened because of one person, Yuna.

Perhaps that was why the Magic Tower restricted the activities of wizards so much.

Of course, there is no wizard more powerful than Yuna.

“Ah, Eric. “Are you here?”

“How is the situation?”

“what… It’s difficult. “All the allied countries are criticizing Helia.”

It was Eric from the Magic Tower who came to find Edric, who was alone.

Although he had lost all influence over Helia after the completion of the Magic Tower, he still needed advice right now.

Perhaps, among the people remaining in Helia, he was the one who knew Yuna best, and he was also a wizard.

“It must be a big deal. Although there is nothing we can do to help.”

“Yes… That’s what a magic tower is in the first place. I realized this painfully because of this war. “Why does the Magic Tower restrict external activities so much?”

“what… There is probably no wizard who can produce such power as your highness. “Not everyone is like that.”

“but… But, well, that’s what it says.”

Edric wanted to meet him a long time ago, but there was so much work to do that he was only able to meet him after the war was over.

Fortunately, he also agreed to meet with Edric. Maybe it was because it was related to Yuuna, whom he served.

“I heard about the situation in advance.”

“… okay. “What do you think?”

“Hmm… Before that, I want to ask you something. Where is His Majesty’s bodyguard? “Your Majesty’s favorite bodyguard, Beryl.”

“He is dead. I don’t know the cause, but during the war, there was an incident where all the knights around His Majesty, who was bombarding the enemy, died. And after that, for several days, the Royal Highness was locked in the barracks and did not come out. And then His Majesty came out of the barracks again and shelled the enemy, and that was the end of the war.”

Eric had already heard about Yuna’s whereabouts during the war.

If there was any question, it was about Beryl, and although she cared for Beryl so much, she couldn’t see him or hear any news about him.

“he… “He died.”

Perhaps because of his death, Yuuna was so disappointed that she acted like that during the war.

Perhaps that was the most reasonable inference.

But the situation itself was so strange.

It was strange that the culprit who killed the knights was not even clear, and that only Yuuna was still alive and well.

You could say that Yuna was the only one protecting herself with magic, but there was no way she wouldn’t protect Beryl.

And Eric knew Beryl’s skills. He was much stronger than he showed.

In short, it is an unnatural situation.

From the fact that an imperial spy was next to the ever-vigilant Yuna, to the fact that he killed everyone and escaped leisurely through Yuuna’s magic and Beryl’s skills.

Moreover, if Beryl had died in front of Yuna, it would have been normal for Yuuna to have gone berserk at that moment.

It made more sense to say that he immediately became angry and fired magic indiscriminately to kill the man who killed Beryl.

The fact that he showed up a few days later and did something like that was so unnatural.

“Beryl… Can you see his body? Something must have been resolved. “If only all the dead knights were there.”

“I guess so. “Let’s wait a moment.”

Edric called a soldier and asked about the recovery of his body, and the soldier headed to the knights to find out.

And soon after, the soldier returned.

“Beryl… It is said that he, who was assigned as His Majesty’s bodyguard, is listed as missing. “Beryl’s body was not found at the scene at the time.”

“… what?”

“Hmm… also.”

Eric nodded at the soldier’s words, and Edric frowned.

Because there was so much work to be done, Edric did not even look at the status of each article.

Of course, it was the opposite of what he thought the body would have been recovered.

“It is truly unnatural. But what we can be sure of is that Your Highness’s rampage is related to Beryl.”

Since Yuna didn’t leave a word, those left behind had no choice but to have questions.

Rather, since it was Eric who had been watching her the longest, he was getting a little closer to the truth.

Of course, he couldn’t know everything.

“He’s probably alive. “He is definitely not a great person who will die easily.”

“… It’s a surprising fact, but the case is more important. “The news may not have reached the enemy country now, but it is obvious what will happen if this fact becomes known.”

“I guess so… ”

Eric was lost in thought.

What happened that day came with the news that the war was over.

Yuuna bombed indiscriminately without identifying enemies.

And after the bombing ended, the only place where Yuna was located was the Duke of Ceramide, who had collapsed unconscious.

Yuuna had disappeared completely without a trace or body.

Because the Helia military discovered the situation first, the fact that Yuna was missing was not known to other countries.

If that fact became known, they could take advantage of the weakened national power and try to devour Helia.

Since each country had already lost a lot, there may have been countries where there was nothing visible.

This would be especially true if it were an empire.

“first… Let’s meet Princess Ceramide. “I will find out personally.”

“… please.”

A situation that could perhaps be called a national crisis. loss of power.

Eric stood up. Where he was headed was decided.

“I don’t think he will die that easily, but don’t get your hopes up.”

He was confident that neither Yuuna nor Beryl were dead.

Although there was no evidence, his numerous experiences spoke volumes.

Of course, I couldn’t be sure about that. Considering the situation, it was reasonable to assume that he was dead.

“You are a disciple who is upset in many ways.”

He left the royal castle, leaving Edric behind.
