Chapter 777  : Final Battle (Part 2)

imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

Leona was a Chaos Girl whose identity was already exposed. She was also one of the rare weaklings among the Chaos Girls… Actually, her power level wasn’t that bad, but when compared to her seniors who were several centuries old, along with the Chaos Girls who had survived the previous, two previous, or countless previous Holy Wars, Leona was indeed far too weak.

It was likely that even her ancestor who was a God wouldn’t be able to protect her from Karwenz. The God of Sword and Thunder was just a newborn Low God, after all. He was far weaker than a Main God. Thus, I had scammed and kidnapped Leona to Bardi also as a way of protecting her.

Since Leona was a critical chess piece who could influence the fate of the world itself, other higher-ups and factions wouldn’t be as “kind” as I was. Once Leona was in Bardi’s hands, even though Bardi didn’t imprison her out of respect for me, their protection and restrictions on Leona had far exceeded those for the ruler of any country.

No ordinary king would have five Level 4 individuals as his bodyguards. There were also more than a dozen “volunteers” hidden in the shadows.

In a way, this was something that I tacitly accepted and even expected. I had indeed scammed Leona since I had promised to take her to find Karwenz, and then ran into him on that floating airship afterwards, but never told her about the truth.

Everyone knew that Leona wanted revenge on Karwenz, but when considering the power level difference between them, it would be nothing more than suicide.

Still, Leona would see me as nothing more than a shameless person who betrayed her.

Yet, would anyone really think that I cared about what she thought?

I glanced outside my room. I didn’t have the free time to care about such matters right now.

The fires of war would only keep burning ever fiercer until the final piece of grass fuel was used up. Both sides of the war would also serve as more fuel for the fire.

Even though it was now dawn, the western battle showed no signs of ending. Instead, as the mages successfully landed, they activated more and more war puppets as the mages entered the battle, making the fighting even fiercer than before.

At such a time, talking about something like love and peace would be nothing more than a joke. Our human alliance had invested so much all for the sake of completely eliminating the devils and undead here, along with destroying the Dimensional Doors and completely reclaiming this area of land.

“Did you guys have a mage use Memory Rewind to check what happened?”

“Yes, we did, but the answer we received was truly inconceivable.”

The messenger then handed me a report that was indeed quite inconceivable.

“You’re saying that Leona walked out by herself? And that she even easily killed two Level 4 individuals who tried to stop her?”

I had quite an exaggerated expression, just as if I had read a fairy tale. How could something so ridiculous occur? But then, I said…

“Okay, I understand. Just tell them that I understand.”

My reply was actually quite calm. According to my understanding, something that sounded so “ridiculous” was actually really believable.magic

Many thoughts and facts flashed through my mind as I analyzed various possibilities. I used logic to eliminate the impossible and to weed out false information. Sometimes, the more ridiculous a matter, the greater the possibility that I could find the “truth” that I needed.

I then faintly thought of a certain possibility that seemed more and more likely the more I thought about it. I was now regretting things…

“…Honestly, I truly should have directly killed Leona back then. I never thought that Leona would be a truly important chess piece in the grand scheme of things.”

However, regret was probably more useless than anything in this world. At the very least, that nearby large black devil who was more than 30 meters tall would probably think the same thing right now.

This large devil suddenly appeared probably because he was unable to take the “weak insects” that he was used to looking down on forcing their way ever closer. This powerful devil started using his powers which were far superior to those of ordinary humans to slaughter as he pleased. And then…

Well, seven high-circle magic spells simultaneously landed direct hits on him. I could only successfully identify a misfortune spell from prophecy magic and a meteor spell. I had previously tried to secretly learn the first spell for myself, and meteor spells were simply far too easy to identify, especially since this unfortunate devil was crushed to death by it.

“As expected, idiots who casually show their ultimate abilities on the battlefield are always destined to die fast.”

I quite proudly continued to wait in hiding, until an unexpected situation forced me onto the battlefield, making me into the idiot that I just talked about.
