“Everyone, stand back! ‘An earthquake is coming!’ Clear your place and evacuate!”
Upon hearing Louis's cries, the soldiers stopped fighting and began to evacuate in unison.
The people here were informed in advance of what Simone would do from now on.
When you hear the signal that says, 'An earthquake is coming,' stop all fighting and retreat.
Those were the only instructions Simone gave before the battle began.
“Oh, let’s go back to base quickly. There are too many casualties. We need to reorganize and replan the operation.”
“Damn...”
The eyes of the soldiers returning to base did not take their eyes off the Demon King's illusion.
The glimmer of hope that the heroes had gained by coming forward and eradicating the demons seemed to disappear completely when they saw that illusion.
No matter how strong Abel and Simone are, can they defeat something like that? Are they even beings that humans can deal with?
The Luan Empire is so huge that it can be completely trampled by a single gesture from the Demon King.
The monster bathed in red moonlight was merely an illusion, but it was emitting a ferocious aura and was looking down on humans.
“Your Highness, the Saint who serves the sun God from Serk and the students from the Necromancer Institute have arrived!”
“It is said that the power of the nations of the Continent of Atlantis has just begun teleporting.”
“Send the Saints to Lord Orkan, and the necromancers to the hero Simone. What is Lord Orkan doing now?”
“He is leading the wizards to set up a defensive line near the lake.”
“Tell the Saint to do his best to delay the Demon King’s resurrection. If he does, he can definitely do it.”
“Understood, Your Highness. Then Your Highness, please quickly escape!”
When the Knight Commander spoke with concern that the only Crown Prince of the empire might get hurt, Louis instead pointed to Abel, who was still fighting the demons, instead of answering.
“You should avoid it. It is impossible to leave the heroes alone on this battlefield.”
"Your Highness!"
The reason why the military was withdrawn was because it was judged that they had not yet adapted to Simone's immense power.
But Louis is different. He has spent more time with Simone than anyone else and has adapted well enough to cope with her power.
Above all, the fight continues with Bianchi, who guides Abel, Simone, Orkan, and the other continental imperial forces.
“My comrades are fighting.”
As their comrade, not as the Crown Prince of the empire, he cannot just watch them fight alone and worry from a safe place.
At that moment.
The ground began to shake violently.
“It’s started.”
Louis quickly pushed away the knight commander and ran in the direction of Abel.
Yes-
A golden aura flowed out from Louis' sword.
'Jace said he became El's disciple to help Simone.'
He heard the news a while ago. He did not come over to Serk with the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Illestone.
He wondered what the frail young master was going to do alone, and then he heard through Orkan that he had become El's disciple and started learning healing arts.
“Lady Simon said she was sorry for the absence of the healer staff. He must have been thinking about what he had heard when solving the curse of the Academy. Lord El said he was quite talented. Je can attract ghosts, and that sometimes even appears when he has divine powers.”
He wanted to remain by Simone's side somehow, so he gave up the pleasure of traveling with his benefactor and decided to develop his abilities.
Abel met his master to develop his abilities, and Orkan left all his honor behind to gain more knowledge and began his adventure with Abel's group.
What about Bianchi? He has become even more secretive and stronger, trying to keep up with his monstrous peers and become a proper man.
Few can surpass him in close combat these days.
So what has Crown Prince Louis been doing all this time?
Would he have been relieved that the curse on the royal family had been lifted and focused solely on his duties as Crown Prince?
Never.
'I am also unmanned.'
He is also a knight with a sword and an adventurer.
When he meets an enemy stronger than himself, he wants to win at all costs, and when he sees a swordsman showing off his flashy swordsmanship, he wants to learn anything and apply it to his own sword.
Louis realized his own helplessness many times while being with Simone. Watching Abel, he felt the limits of his talent that were beyond his reach.
However, as a result of training, reflection, and wandering to stand alongside them, Louis was also able to achieve meaningful results.
Kwajijijik!
A golden light flashed in Louis' eyes.
'This is the result of my efforts.'
Louis raised his sword high into the sky and swung it down in one breath, sending the aura flying.
Kkwaddeuk-!
“Ugh!!!!!”
The demons' surprised faces disappeared as the aura poured down like lightning.
Louise struck down his sword countless times.
It was as if a baptism of light was pouring down on the demons. Louis completely burned the demons and then rushed forward in an instant to join Abel's battle.
'That's...'
Simone, who had been quietly continuing her casting a little distance away from them, looked at Louis with a slightly tired face.
Unlike Abel, that's definitely the Sword Master's aura.
Since Louis quickly resolved the royal curse and got out of the main story, she thought he wouldn't end up becoming a sword master like in the original.
But she guesses a person's fate doesn't change. How can someone develop such power without ever seeing it?
"Your Highness..."
“Your Highness... Commander, that power is clear.”
“Yes, Your Highness has acquired the qualifications of Auror and Sword Master.”
The knights of the empire were also talking in disbelief and with great joy in their voices.
Simone smiled faintly.
Everyone is doing their part faithfully.
'Then me too.'
Gugugugu-
The ground, which had been shaking since a while ago, began to shake even more violently.
Simone felt the cries of her subordinates writhing underground and looked at the number of demons that had increased in the meantime.
Simone spoke through the telegraph.
“Abel, Your Highness, leave the demons alone and go to the lake with your troops.”
"...Is that okay? There are a lot more of them than you can see from a distance."
"Hey, if we leave this behind, no one will be able to handle it. We should clean it up and leave..."
“That can’t be sorted out. The cracks in the void will disappear only when the Demon King is defeated.”
As long as the Demon King lives, cracks will continue to appear and demons will emerge from them.
It would be difficult if the main forces were exhausted from fighting the Demons.
Simone said forcefully.
“Abel, you have to kill him. You have to kill the Demon King.”
"...Shit."
“From now on, I’ll take care of all those little guys.”
Now everything is ready.
Abel muttered a curse and jumped into the lake, and Louis followed him, looking at Simone with a foolish look in his eyes.
"Lady Simone, Serk's necromancers have arrived. They will assist Lady Simone... Please take good care of us."
Soon, only the Demon and Simone remained on the battlefield.
Some knights objected to Simone's claim that she would fight the demons alone on this vast battlefield, and some even drew their swords, saying that they would rather fight together than leave her behind.
“This doesn’t make sense! No matter how strong you are, Simone, how can you let me fight those monsters alone?”
“It’s like using a young girl as a shield!”
“Do not disregard my chivalry! I cannot leave him behind, even if it is the order of His Highness the Crown Prince.”
But they didn't know why Simone insisted on staying alone on the battlefield.
Why did her expression become lighter?
Gugugugu-
Knock knock... Aduk...
At that moment.
"...Uh?"
The knights who had insisted that they could never leave Simone behind looked at the battlefield with astonished expressions.
The smell of the air vibrating from all sides, and the black smoke rising from under the swaying ground and dirt floor.
“What is that...?”
At a time when everyone was watching this with tension.
Kaddeuk-
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
please save me
I accept death
Corpses and skeletons began to rise from the floor, accompanied by numerous voices.
“Ugh, ugh! What is that!”
People fell from the battlefield in terror.
Simone, who had been sitting on the floor, finally got up with a refreshed expression.
Her face was covered in dark red mana, showing how much mana she had drawn out.
"Yes."
The technique Anasis used at the Academy and is the signature technique of the Necromancer: controlling skeletons and corpses.
For this purpose, she had asked Louis to bury the bodies brought from Serk in advance.
From now on, these will become immortal soldiers and fight against the demons.
Simone took a deep breath and turned around to look at the knights.
A hideous mana that grows like a stem on the face.
As the knights flinched and stepped back, Simone nodded with an indifferent expression.
“Aren’t you going to the lake?”
“Go, go!”
Only then did the stubborn knights start running towards the lake.
