100CIM - Chapter 271




"This person..."

The expressions on the soldiers' faces as they looked down at Anasis were a sight to behold.

This is because Orkan was so frightened that he shouted out loud, 'Anasis!'

It was an uncharacteristic mistake for Orkan, who was known for being cautious in any situation. But there was nothing he could do.

How could he have known that Simone bringing Anasis out meant she was half-dead and carrying her around?

You caught that traitor Anasis so easily?

“Is this possible..."

“That’s ridiculous...”

“So, is that really Anasis?”

“As simple as that...”

Simone snorted lightly as she looked at the bewildered soldiers.

It might seem simple from their perspective.

Simone had not slept properly for several days and had wasted all her strength and nerves on maintaining the curse.

It was never an easy catch.

'And I can't say I've got it completely figured out yet.'

Simone decided to keep Anasis alive for a while for Geneon's sake.

If the wizards of the Luan Empire fail to properly restrain Anasis, she will quickly recover and launch a counterattack as soon as she wakes up.

Simone glanced down at Geneon, but Geneon avoided her with a complicated expression and said nothing.

“Yes, hurry up.”

Simone pointed to Anasis as she looked at the still-terrified soldiers.

“Take her quickly and tie her up. You will need many wizards waiting in the castle. Please do not kill her.”

The soldiers hesitated to step forward even though Anasis was already unconscious.

It is natural for soldiers of the Luan Empire to react this way, having grown up hearing only scary stories about necromancers and Anasis since childhood.

They would probably be reluctant to touch Anasis's body even if they saw it.

Orkan, who was watching this, sighed deeply, approached, and put Anasis into his magical subspace.

“Who would want to touch a bloody sinner? Let’s go. I’ll have to be there to bind the interest.”

Then he headed towards the imperial palace with a few soldiers. Simone turned her gaze.

“Wow... Wow... really...”

“Your Highness! Are you alright?”

“Get up! The floor is dirty!”

Louis was sitting surrounded by nobles.

It seems like he was more surprised than anyone by Simone's sudden actions. Next to him, Geneon is lying down with the same expression on his face.

Simone chuckled.

She knows she shouldn't be laughing, but she can't help but find it cute when she sees the cat sitting there with a look of loss on its face.

Simone cleared her throat, tried to keep her expression straight, and asked before Louis could nag her.

“Has anything happened here lately?”

Then Louis ignored Simone's question and got up.

“Please. Couldn’t you tell me in advance if you’re going to do something unexpected? At least to me.”

“If you were here, I would have told you and gone in. I’m worried too.”

In fact, she didn't even know that he was listening. If Louis was there, he would have fully understood Simone's impulsive behavior, so if he was there, she would have really said something to Louis and taken action.

Louis exhaled deeply as if holding back his anger.

“I have received word that four more of the Demon King’s seals have been released.”

“So, does that mean a total of seven seals have been released?”

“Yes, judging by the speed, I predict that the Demon King will definitely be resurrected tonight.”

Huh?

“Isn’t it night now?”

She thought it was night while she was in the dark and distorted time zone?

Louis shook his head.

“It’s still daytime. There are some dark clouds...”

Louis looked up at the sky with a confused face.

“I don’t know why, but every time the seal was released, it got a little darker.”

Simone's expression also darkened.

Yes, there was a description in the novel that every time the seal was released, the world would become dark and a disaster would begin in stages.

There are eleven sealed Demon King bodies in total. Seven of them have already been released.

According to the novel, the first disaster that cannot be stopped even by thousands of wizards begins immediately after the seal on the eighth part is released.

This was a really serious situation.

While Simone was in the time warp, the number of soldiers waiting doubled, but well... will they be able to withstand the disaster?

“The good news is that the Serk Empire has provided military and necromancers. The necromancers who will soon arrive here will all follow Simone’s instructions.”

"...is it so."

What can I do if I can't endure it?

Yeah. No matter what the circumstances, it's something that has to be done anyway.

Simone thought so and shook off her weak thoughts.

“The wizards who were delaying the release of the seal could no longer hold out. So we all retreated. We couldn’t let them die.”

“Good job. It would have been useless anyway.”

Louis nodded silently and glanced at Simone.

She becomes very calm in times of crisis.

He's not too worried because it means that she's calmly doing her job without being agitated...

'Your expression is very dark.'

Her calmness also meant that she was very nervous.

Louis is not a Geneon, so he cannot read her mind, but he is now able to distinguish between relaxation and tension in her otherwise calm expression.

“I hope that when this matter comes to a close, Lady Simone can truly rest in peace.”

Simone nodded with a small smile.

“Louis.”

I've been living a very busy life.

But after destroying the Demon King and dealing with Anasis, Simone's task will truly be over.

The curse of the Illestons will also evaporate if Anasis disappears completely.

Even though it ended safely.

“Oh, right. How did the favor I asked you to do go?”

“Of course, I took care of it as instructed by Simone.”

Louis also smiled and bowed his head slightly, following Simone.

“I’m sure it’ll be a good ending. Then I’ll go back and check the situation.”

When Louis left Simone's side, Abel and Bianchi quietly took his place.

"Hey."

Abel stood next to Simone and thrust his fist at her.

At first, she thought he was threatening her with his fist, but then she realized he meant to bump fists.

A kind of hand sign of friendship.

Simone hit Abel's fist with her own without much hesitation.

“Please take care of the rest.”

“Leave it to me...”

Oh, wait a minute. Simone hurriedly covered her mouth.

She wonders if she was assimilated into Abel's group. Simone almost blurted out, "Leave it to me!" like a passionate protagonist.

Simone cleared her throat for no reason and said.

“Just run forward without looking back. You just need to cut off the Demon King’s neck.”

“ ..What?”

“Why are you talking like a gangster all of a sudden?”

A villain who breaks away from the passionate protagonist. Seo Hyun-Jung is overdone again.

As Simone relaxed, thinking foolish thoughts, the stiff knight's shout was heard from afar.

“Your Highness! I have received word that the seal on the Tarian border has been lifted!”

“...Damn it! It came out faster than I thought. Each knight commander, get in line!”

"Yes!"

The Demon King's eighth seal has been released.

The dark clouds that had covered the entire sky began to move in the strong wind.

From now on, it will rain not only in the Luan Empire but throughout the entire continent.

Also, the ground began to shake.

The soldiers who were lining up on the Crown Prince's orders stumbled and staggered due to the earthquake, which was so strong that they had difficulty keeping their balance.

The earthquake here is only this much, but the Tarian border area that was just released from the seal must have been devastated by the earthquake.

From there, a gradually increasing earthquake spreads, and soon all the land in the world is turned upside down.

The world will suffer countless casualties from the relentless rain and earthquakes.

As expected, the disaster they actually encountered was extremely severe.

Amidst the confusion, another piece of bad news was quickly delivered.

“They say the seal of the Chendal Empire has been released!”

Before they could even begin to panic at the news that the ninth seal had been released, the next disaster began.

Dduk- Dduk-

The sky began to open with the sound of breaking glass.

The heavens open.

Is this really possible?

Everyone at the lake looked up at the sky with blank expressions.

Even if the rain poured down and the ground shook, it would not be as scary as the bizarre sight of the sky 'split open'.

After a while, a large number of demons began to descend in a swarm through the open sky.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, no, she dare not count them.

A crowd of demons, as numerous as raindrops, fell to the ground, covering the sky.

“Damn it!”

Abel hurried to where the demons had fallen, and soon a red aura poured down on them.

“The Demons dare to invade the human world! All forces, charge! We must stop them at all costs!”

At Louis' command, the soldiers charged toward the demons.

The second disaster, a war between demons and humans broke out.
