“How long are you going to keep running away?”

There was no one around, but Torkunta grumbled .  

Then, despite receiving no response, she grit her teeth .

“Didn’t I tell you? I have no intention of accompanying you on your suicide quest . Understand? You’re the only one that’s gonna die . ”

There was silence again before Torkunta’s expression became even more grim .

“You’re so young . ”

Torkunta, who seemed so upset she would vomit, suddenly sighed .

“You’re afraid of dying, yet you claim to want to sacrifice yourself . It’s not even for your own satisfaction . Hmph . ”

“…”

“Then do it yourself . I’m letting go of the reins . But I should warn you . You didn’t forget your promise, did you?”

Torkunta bit her lips before saying one more thing .

“Stupid bitch . ”

Hot winds blew across the desert .  

Frey narrowed his eyes as he looked ahead . The half-hidden sun was tinting the golden earth scarlet .  

It was an incredibly beautiful sight, but unfortunately, he didn’t have the time to admire it .

Cairo looked at Frey and said .

“I’m sorry . I wish I could help you, but…”

“No . ”

Frey shook his head .

It was already enough for him to warp them there .  

The only reason he’d asked Cairo for help in the first place was because he didn’t know Silkid’s coordinates .

Paragon was still busy with its own business .

Cairo nodded .

“There is a warrior from Paragon in Rnei . He and Nora are acquainted, and he should be able to tell you about the situation in Silkid . ”

Cairo left with those words .

Frey then turned around to look at the ones who’d gone to Silkid with him .

Snow, Nora, and Beniang .

Anastasia didn’t come .

Frey remembered what she’d said before they parted .

“I need time . ”

“What do you mean by time?”

“Time to get used to this body . I don’t think I can use it to fight the way I used to . ”

Frey nodded .

Although the Golem’s body could control mana, it was a body that was more suited for a Magic Warrior than a Wizard .

So like it or not, she would have to learn to fight with her body from now on instead of with magic . Because it was more efficient .

To do that, she would need to get rid of all the stereotypical combat methods and habits that she’d developed as a Wizard .

“You want to train here?”

“I think it’s a good place . ”

“That’s true, but how will you get to Silkid?”

He didn’t think Anastasia’s body could use Warp .

Anastasia laughed .

“There’s a way . ”

She tapped on her earrings that hadn’t been there when they first came to the mountains .

“That’s?”

“I brought it out of the dungeon . And this is for you . ”

Then she handed him a ring .

“Keep it on . It’ll tell me where you are . ”

Both were magic items .  

Frey nodded and put the ring on .

“Understood . ”

“As soon as I get used to my body, I’ll head over . ”

“Keeping my word is one of my ironclad rules . ”

Anastasia nodded .

Thus, Anastasia’s arrival would be a bit delayed .

“The entire desert is covered in divine power . Even when seeing it for myself, I find it hard to believe . I can’t believe the Demigods are revealing themselves like this . ”

Nora spoke in a calm voice, and Frey agreed with her .

Divine power indeed covered the entire desert . It was like a beast deliberately marking its territory with its scent .

‘Considering the size of Silkid, it couldn’t be just one . ’

This meant that they wouldn’t be able to tell how many Demigods were staying in the desert .  

Naturally, this meant that they had to move as stealthily as possible .

Frey took out a map from his bag and looked at it .

“Rnei . It’s close . We’ll go there to obtain information first . ”

Cairo must have brought them this close on purpose . Frey was once again grateful for his consideration .

Then Snow spoke .

“Wasn’t it said that creatures swept all the cities in the country? I don’t think he would still be there . ”

“Hmm . ”

That made sense .

“I’ll still check it out first . ”

He then flew up into the sky using Fly . When he got high enough, he was able to see the blurry image of Rnei .  

From what he could see, the buildings were not destroyed, so from the outside, it still looked fine .

‘I don’t know if a Demigod is there or not . ’

With all the divine power scattered across the desert, it was impossible for him to determine a specific source .

‘It’s a good thing that they can’t find us easily either . ’

Frey then pointed to Rnei and said .

“Let’s walk . It’ll take a couple of hours to get there . ”

Using Warp would be too conspicuous .

“I’m so glad it’s not midday~ It’s less hot . ”

Snow spoke in a relaxed tone as the party headed to Rnei with a rapid pace .

Frey looked at the desolate desert before turning to Nora .

“Who exactly is the Paragon member in Rnei?”

“A warrior . ”

Nora thought that answer was not enough, so she continued .

“He was once a Great Warrior who was spoken about in history . ”

“Great Warrior?”

“It is one of the highest honours one can receive in Silkid . ”

It was Snow who answered .

Frey then turned to her and said suspiciously .

“You know quite a lot about a country that’s on the opposite side of the continent . ”

Just as he’d said, Silkid and the Great Forest were indeed on opposite sides of the continent .  

Snow put on a triumphant expression at his words .

“Hoohoo! It was this queen’s dream to travel around the continent and challenge the strong! The strongest fighters in every region on the continent . ”

After saying that, she tilted her head .

“Mm . But in the last ten years, there hasn’t been a Great Warrior in Silkid . ”

“It is a title that can only be given to one person . But lately, many outstanding warriors have appeared . Guarus the Berserker, Heildek the Grappler, Twin Blade Urha… if the Demigods hadn’t destroyed Talhadun, there definitely would have been the most spectacular martial arts competition in history . ”

“Hmmm . ”

“Urha is the Paragon member . He’s a swordsman who uses the Fire and Ice Swords . ”

Twin Blades .

In the past, Frey had once asked Lucid, who had countless legendary swords, why he insisted on using just one sword .

Then Lucid gave him one simple response .

[It’s not efficient . ]

There was nothing wrong with wearing many magical items . Of course, Frey avoided using them to avoid being dependent on them .

But it didn’t seem to be the same for swords .

Now that he thought about it, Riki also used just one sword .

Although he hid many small daggers in his pockets, when fighting, he only drew one sword .

[Then why are you collecting so many swords?]

Lucid’s answer to this question was spectacular .

[It’s my hobby . Please respect it . ]

[…]

Twin Blade Urha .

He should at least have had some skill since he was able to become a member of Paragon . But Frey wondered just how strong he was .

It was at that time that he noticed Beniang moving forward with an exceptionally stiff expression on her face .

“Master Beniang, you don’t have to be so tense . We’re not going to fight any Demigods yet . ”

“Ah, I see . Thank you . ”

Beniang smiled shyly and bowed her head .

Her Dragontongue would be a great help in battle against the Demigods .

Then Frey saw Snow turn to look at him .

“What is it?”

“It’s unfair . ”

“What is?”

“Why do you only use honorifics with that woman?”

“She’s my superior . ”

“…you used to use honorifics with this queen too . ”

“That was when you were still a queen . ”

“Mm…”

Snow pouted, clearly not convinced .

Then Nora asked .

“What about Hector?”

“There’s nothing to compare . He’s a Dragon . That alone makes him deserving of respect . ”

“…”

What a strange man .

Nora and Snow had this thought at the same time . All of them had lived for a sizable amount of time, yet they still got an archaic feeling from this young man who wasn’t even thirty .

Could this be called a generation gap?

Strangely enough, it was the girls who had the trendier way of thinking .

After all, it had been hundreds of years since the Dragons disappeared from the continent . Only stories of them could be heard from time to time, and even then, most of the stories were about them losing to the Demigods .

Nevertheless, Frey was extremely polite to Hector .  

This was something that was extremely strange when considering that he spoke informally to Cairo, Diablo, and the other Circle Masters .

It was almost as if he had seen the time period when Dragons ruled the continent in the past .

Him using honorifics to Beniang might not necessarily have been because she was his superior . It might just have been because she was Half-Dragon .

‘What kind of relationship does Frey have with the Dragons?’

They wanted to ask, but they didn’t think they would get an answer .  

Just as Snow clicked her tongue, they arrived at Rnei .

“Silkid is finished . ”

There wasn’t anyone who didn’t know that fact .  

But the power those words contained depended on who was saying them .

Take the man in front of him for example .

Sarman, the Warchief and guardian of Rnei, was not someone who should say such words .

Urha frowned, opening his mouth before reluctantly closing it again .

He was angry, but he couldn’t argue .

Sarman continued in a deep voice .

“Of 17 cities, 7 have already fallen and 4 have surrendered . There are only 6 cities left including Rnei . ”

“Are you going to surrender?”

Sarman shook his head at Urha’s words .

“I just got a report . What happened to the 7 cities… saying their fall is not appropriate . ”

“…”

“Entire cities vanished . They’re gone . All that was left were ashes that were blown by the desert winds . That’s when I realised . We cannot expect any mercy from these monsters . ”

To die or to surrender: those were the only two options .

“So you, a Warchief, plan to surrender . ”

Urha understood Sarman’s feelings, but that didn’t stop him from speaking in a sharp tone .

“Do you know the will of a warrior?”

“…it is to fight . ”

“So you do know . ”

Then Sarman continued with an empty voice .

“Against the Demigods, we cannot fight . ”

They had no chance of winning .

Sarman bit his lip .

The bitter taste of blood spread on his tongue, but the strength of his bite didn’t diminish at all .

How could he not be angry? His family, friends, and people had died . They were still dying even now .  

But they couldn’t talk to the Demigods . There was no negotiation .

They asked for one thing – surrender . Those who disobeyed would die .  

They would die regardless of sex or age .  

Even the term tyrannical could not express their attitudes . Their actions weren’t things that mortals could understand .  

Even a fly wouldn’t do so vainly .

“Have you heard the rumors of the Great Warrior?”

“…I have . ”

There was a warrior wandering around Silkid, gathering the other warriors together . It was said that his name was Ivan .

Given that this was the first time many were hearing his name, it was certain that he wasn’t someone who was famous before .

“I heard that he’s the Magic Warrior King’s Successor . ”

“…even if Kasajin himself returned, he would not be able to change this situation . ”

Sarman spoke cooly .

Then he added in a dejected tone .

“The number of warriors is still lacking . What we lack at the moment is troops . ”

They couldn’t fight the Demigods with warriors alone . Urha fell silent because he also knew that .

Then someone came into the tent .

“Urha, you have guests . ”

“Guests?”

“They say they’re from Paragon . ”

“…!”

He got up in a hurry .

Unexpected reinforcements had arrived .

‘Is it Diablo? No, even Cairo!’

9 star Wizards!

Any one of them would be able to convince Sarman .

Urha hurried out .  

The first person he saw was Nora . Because she was in front .  

Seeing him, Nora lifted her head and spoke in her signature, calm voice .

“It’s been a while, Urha . ”

“Ms . Nora, how have you been?”

Urha returned the greeting out of courtesy while looking around .

‘Ah…’

Neither Cairo nor Diablo were there .  

The only ones standing beside Nora were a woman with a mask, a timid looking green-haired girl, and a young man with an expressionless face .

He didn’t know any of them . This also meant that they weren’t helpers from Paragon .

Urha couldn’t help but sigh in disappointment .
