Chapter 1218
Right after Raon began building the tower in Heaven, Evelyn condensed blue mana over her purple hair. As she moved her fingers delicately like playing piano, the mana flow twisted and two dimensions opened simultaneously.
[Ehehehe! Is this that delicious new lemon candy... Hiek!]
The person who appeared in the first dimension was Archmage Chamber of Eternal Flame. She was about to stuff her mouth full of yellow candy when she saw Evelyn's face and gasped sharply.
[What, what! Why are you here!]
Chamber jumped up from her chair as if her rabbit-like cute appearance wasn't just for decoration, spitting out all the candy she had in her mouth.
[Now I can finally sleep... Kkeuh!]
The one appearing in the second dimension was naturally Mage Tower Master Larian. She too opened her half-closed eyes wide at Evelyn's sudden appearance.
[How, how did you open this dimension...]
Larian trembled her fingers with all sleepiness gone from her face, as if she was shocked that Evelyn had intruded into her space.
"Sisters. It's been a long time!"
Evelyn waved both hands vigorously at the flustered Chamber and Larian, greeting them warmly.
“S-sister? Am I your sister? No, more importantly, it's dawn right now...”
"Hey! It hasn't been that long!"
Chamber pushed the awkwardly greeting Larian aside and shouted.
"What do you think you're doing! Why did you sneak in through the back door instead of using the official communication network!"
She frowned, asking why she had dug a new back door to contact them instead of using the front door.
"Something very important has happened. If we get caught, my man might die."
Evelyn said she had no choice and clasped her hands together.
"Your man? Don't tell me it's Raon?"
Chamber looked at Evelyn with narrowed eyes.
"Why is Raon your man! No, more importantly, why is he in danger?"
She spread her hands as if telling her to speak quickly.
"Raon is currently on a secret mission."
Evelyn raised her finger and placed it on her red lips.
"As you know, we don't know where Derus Robert's spies might be hiding. That's why I contacted you this way."
She slightly lowered her shoulders, asking them to understand just this once.
"S-secret mission?"
Larian seemed interested in the word "secret" and pushed her face forward toward the dimension.
"Yes. To put it simply..."
Evelyn briefly explained the current situation Raon was facing.
"So you're saying you need to teleport hundreds of people to a place you've never been to and whose location is hard to properly identify?"
Chamber let out a hollow laugh as if she couldn't believe it.
"And it's a place covered with divine power rather than mana, guarded by Angels 24 hours a day."
Larian also lowered her eyebrows deeply, saying the difficulty was too high.
"That's right. It's not an easy task. No, it's nearly impossible."
Evelyn quickly nodded, saying that's exactly why she came to find the two of them.
"Something like that..."
Chamber glared at Evelyn with furrowed brows.
"Why are you only telling us now! This is too good!"
She clenched her small fist as if the closer it was to impossible, the better it was.
"Yes! This will be fun!"
Larian kindled flames in her sleepy eyes and nodded.
"Using mana to pierce through divine power is so exciting!"
She revealed her rough personality like when in battle, excited about attempting something new as a mage.
"I knew you two would say you'd help!"
Evelyn smiled broadly as if she had expected this result.
"It's not about helping. I want to do this!"
"If we research how to pierce divine power, it will help in the war a year from now!"
Chamber and Larian nodded with even more enthusiasm than Evelyn.
"Let's start right away!"
"Where are you looking at right now and how?"
The two forgot that their rest time had been interrupted and licked their lips, eager to start work immediately. Though they had different personalities, at times like this they looked exactly like sisters.
"Good."
Evelyn clapped her hands and floated the materials she had gathered above Chamber and Larian's heads.
"Let's start right away. Ah! But before that..."
She floated Derus Robert's face above the data about the Land of Clouds and Heaven, drawing a chilling smile.
"There's one most important request that Raon mentioned."
***
“W-wait, an Archangel is already descending? It won't be easy to get the timing just right.”
Archmage Chamber of Eternal Flame bit her lip slightly while refining the Magic Circle.
"Huuu..."
Mage Tower Master Larian breathed quietly, focusing all her mental energy on magic without even speaking.
"We can do it."
Evelyn smiled broadly while delicately manipulating mana, saying they could definitely succeed with these two together. The wills of the three mages who had reached Transcendence combined, and a blue Dimensional Gate was rising in front of Zieghart's Lord's Manor.
"Huuuu, now we have to fight Angels too..."
Dorian swallowed dry saliva as he saw the Tower of Babel that Raon had built reflected in the blue dimensional gate.
"What's so special about Angels? Just cut their necks and they all die!"
Krein said whether they were Angels or humans, they'd die all the same, placing his hand on his sword.
"Our stupid Krein said something right for once!"
Martha draped her arm over Krein's shoulder and grinned.
"That's right! Angels aren't anything special!"
She nodded, saying the current Light Wind Palace could definitely win.
"We shouldn't be arrogant before we even fight."
Burren calmly waved his hand.
"Of course, we've been training all this time, so we can have confidence."
He nodded heavily, telling them to remember the training they had experienced with their bodies.
"We did train harder than when the Palace Master was here."
Trevin whistled lightly, saying he almost died during training.
"..."
Runaan said nothing and looked at the ever-growing dimensional gate.
"Raon..."
She held the Heavenly Drive and Wooden Ring Sword that Raon had entrusted to her tightly in her arms, with frost-like energy surrounding her usual vacant eyes.
"It will begin soon."
Rector stood before the dimensional gate that had risen to the point of opening and nodded his chin.
"Indeed."
Glenn stood beside Rector and calmly closed his eyes then opened them.
"That boy Raon always seems to throw himself into danger first."
Rector clicked his tongue as he saw Raon's face reflected in the dimensional gate.
"He's been like that since he was born."
Glenn smiled softly as he remembered Raon's childhood.
"Since that grandson has set the table, we should at least pick up the fork."
Rector said it was time to return what he had received from Raon and clenched his prosthetic fist.
"I agree. If Raon has done this much for us, we should handle the rest ourselves."
Glenn also nodded, saying he should use his strength properly.
"I'm grateful to my in-law too. Thanks to you, this arm feels like my own."
Rector grasped his prosthetic arm with his left hand and nodded heavily.
"Someone said family shouldn't talk like that."
Glenn waved his hand, remembering words he had heard from Raon once.
"That's right."
Rector chuckled softly as he remembered hearing those words too. When their conversation ended, the scene of Raon cutting the throat of the brilliantly descended Archangel Raphael was reflected in the dimensional gate.
"That's my grandson alright!"
"That's my grandson alright!"
Glenn and Rector both declared Raon as their grandson without any argument and raised their fists. Unlike before, the two looked at each other and smiled softly.
"G-grandfathers! I'm sorry for being late! You need to enter now!"
Evelyn bit her lip, saying they needed to enter immediately as soon as the dimensional gate opened to save Raon.
"Don't worry."
"We won't be late."
Glenn and Rector waved reassuringly at the flustered Evelyn and stood before the wavering dimensional gate.
"Let's go."
"Let's do it."
When the dimensional gate opened, the two bumped their fists together as if they had coordinated their whole lives and threw themselves into the blue light without any hesitation.
***
"Kahahahahaha! Sweep them all away!"
Balder burst into wild laughter as if excited by the war that had broken out after a long time, sweeping away the Angels and Derus's subordinates.
"I told you! Angels are nothing special!"
Martha unleashed Fighting Spirit that matched Balder's, striking down with her sword and crushing the Angels into red blood.
"R-right! They're weaker than I thought!"
Dorian still had a frightened expression, but his sword shot out sharply, cutting through Derus's Shadow.
"No! We're the ones who got stronger!"
Krein clicked his tongue, saying that through their training, all of the Light Wind Palace had grown stronger.
"So it's you all..."
Runaan called forth a storm of Frost with her sword as if to end all wars here and now, mercilessly tearing apart the Angels.
"Calm your excitement! The battle has just begun!"
Burren gave orders from the center of the battlefield befitting his position as Vice Palace Master of the Light Wind Palace, supporting the swordsmen.
"Huh."
Raon felt the Martial Prowess and Fighting Spirit of the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen had risen dramatically while he was away and let out a hollow laugh.
'Those guys suffered too.'
He thought he had it the hardest, having entered Derus's base alone, but it occurred to him that those who remained in Zieghart, suffering mentally and training, had it just as hard.
"R-reinforcements!"
"Finally, the Angel elites have arrived!"
"Fight to the end! We can win!"
"We'll bury Zieghart here!"
Derus's subordinates, who had been helplessly pushed back, saw the Angel elites descending to Heaven and reignited their Fighting Spirit, raising their weapons.
“The elite of the angels, you say.”
"Hmph!"
Glenn and Rector raised their swords toward the sky where the Angel elites were descending. The sword strikes unleashed by the two absolute swordsmen split the blue sky into four pieces. The bodies of the Angel elites caught between the sword paths split apart, and the blue sky turned red as if sunset had come.
With Glenn and Rector's single sword strikes, all the Angel elites descending to Heaven were cut down, and a shower of blood fell.
'Grandfather...'
Raon felt the affection and worry for him in Glenn and Rector's swords and pressed his lips tightly.
'Those two must have suffered greatly as well.'
The two had poured their pent-up emotions into their sword blades and literally burst apart the enemies present here.
"Uuugh..."
"N-no!"
"This can't be!"
"We can never win!"
"R-run!"
The Angels and Derus's subordinates, overwhelmed by the battle situation, turned pale and only retreated. As everyone fell back, the seriously injured Derus Robert ended up at the front.
"Huu..."
Derus Robert clutched his bleeding chest and let out a weak laugh.
"Raphael's death and Heaven being exposed - this is something I couldn't even imagine at this point."
He nodded as he spoke of the events that had occurred here.
"I put considerable effort into perfecting this body, but I didn't know it would be ruined like this. The loss is immense..."
Derus Robert frowned as if Priest Srude's body originally had other uses.
"If I try to act tough here, I'll just be putting on a show."
He chuckled and swept back his hair covering his forehead with his blood-soaked hand.
"I acknowledge it. You completely got me. Raon Zieghart."
Derus Robert readily acknowledged his defeat and spat black blood from his mouth.
"But the war hasn't started."
He raised his index finger with his left hand.
“Not you, but on the day I declared it, everything will begin!”
"What?"
Raon frowned as if asking what he meant.
"We'll meet again."
When Derus Robert flicked his finger, his body began to swell like bread in an oven.
"Get away!"
"Back!"
The moment Glenn and Rector stood in front of Derus Robert, his body exploded with light, creating an enormous shockwave. Fortunately, thanks to the two blocking it, the Zieghart swordsmen behind them suffered no damage.
-He exploded his Clone and escaped!
Wrath frowned deeply.
-What a filthy bastard!
He clicked his tongue, saying it seemed like Derus Robert had planned this from the beginning.
'I knew it.'
Raon looked at the blackened earth from the aftermath of Derus exploding Priest Srude's body and nodded calmly.
'That's why I made the request in advance.'
He turned around and looked at Evelyn.
"Yes! I'm ready!"
Evelyn gave a thumbs up as if to start immediately.
"You two will need to help as well."
Raon stood beside Glenn and Rector and bowed. As he slowly raised his head, golden heat blazed in his eyes.
"Let's catch that fleeing rat."
