-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The space where Legion Commander Obilio was cracked apart.
“Professor Stella! Please take care of Dean Andrian!”
Even in the midst of battle with the demonic legion commander.
He couldn’t just let Dean Sirims Andrian die like this.
Professor Stella Cloud, understanding Davian's intention, nodded.
"Got it! I'll be right back!"
Stella Cloud slung Dean Sirims Andrian over her shoulder and began to run back.
She had to break through the demons alone to the defense line and hand him over to a healer.
It wasn't an easy task, but Stella Cloud didn't hesitate for a moment.
She couldn't lose the spiritual pillar of all the mages of Alkancia like this.
The remaining three party members stood, glaring at the legion commander.
Davian Naone, Hugo Molton, and Leo Martiang.
The first to lunge was Dean Leo Martiang of the Swordsmanship Department.
Slash!
Leo Martiang's sword, imbued with deep blue aura, was swung.
Swish.
The legion commander's form disappeared, and Leo Martiang's sword cut through empty air.
There wasn't even a ripple in space, like when demonic centurions or chiliarchs moved.
Swish.
The disappeared legion commander appeared behind Leo Martiang.
Thwack!
Legion Commander Obilio's mana struck Leo Martiang's back directly.
"Ugh!"
Leo Martiang's body, which had risen into the air to attack the legion commander, was sent flying far away and slammed into the ground.
Thwack!
This time, Hugo Molton's mana sword was fired towards Obilio.
Black mana flowed from Obilio's body, forming a shield-like shape.
Clang!
The mana sword and the mana-made shield collided violently.
Crack!
Legion Commander Obilio's shield shattered completely.
But it wasn't just the mana shield that shattered.
The mana sword that Hugo Molton had fired also lost its power and dissipated futilely.
'Strong!'
He was on a different level from the demons they had met so far.
He slammed the dean of the Swordsmanship Department into the ground and blocked the president's mana sword with sheer power.
'He's completely different from Legion Commanders Jedicus or Javier.'
Woosh!
Davian fired flames covered with the Fire Wave skill.
Sensing that something was amiss, Legion Commander Obilio didn't take it head-on this time, disappearing again.
Then, he appeared behind Hugo Molton and fired mana.
Clang!
Hugo Molton, who had been prepared, blocked the mana with the side of his sword.
If it had been an ordinary sword, it would have shattered immediately.
But it was a sword that manifested the aura of the man called the best swordsman on the continent.
He was pushed back a little, but he stably blocked the mana.
In the meantime, Davian stabbed in with an ice sword.
A movement imbued with 10-star internal energy and the skill Shadow Assimilation.
Thunk!
The sword Davian stabbed in pierced straight into Legion Commander Obilio's side.
'What?'
He clearly felt the sensation of stabbing through his palm, but.
Fwoosh.
The legion commander's body, pierced by the sword, turned into black smoke and disappeared.
'It wasn't his real body?'
Thwack!
Powerful mana poured down from the sky.
It was the mana fired by Legion Commander Obilio, who was now floating in the air.
Shwaa!
Davian hurriedly deployed an ice wall, protecting himself and President Hugo Molton together.
Thwack!
The mana and the ice wall collided, and a strong shock reverberated.
Crack, crack.
Cracks began to form in the ice wall.
But this was enough.
Davian and President Hugo Molton quickly moved to escape the influence of the mana.
"Davian! Simultaneously!"
"Yes!"
He was not an easy opponent.
"I'm going too!"
Dean Leo Martiang of the Swordsmanship Department, who had already gotten up, shouted.
The three men leaped towards the legion commander floating in the air.
The battle between the three men and the legion commander continued fiercely.
A look of increasing bewilderment began to appear on Legion Commander Obilio's face.
He hadn't been able to kill any of the three humans yet.
And his body was accumulating more and more wounds.
'It's all because of that young human.'
He had had an opportunity to completely eliminate one of them.
But the young human had sacrificed himself to save the others.
Until then, he had thought it didn't matter.
It didn't change the fact that he had dealt with one of the three.
The point at which the battle with the three had reached a balance.
A situation in which victory would tilt towards Legion Commander Obilio if he dealt with just one of them first.
But.
Slurp, slurp.
The young human's body was regenerating quickly.
Before he knew it, he had gotten up and was fighting three-on-one again.
It was also that young human who was unleashing the most powerful attacks.
And the living flame that young human had created was also quite unnerving.
It was virtually a four-on-one situation.
'I shouldn't have sent the centurions first.'
Thwack!
Legion Commander Obilio, who had blocked the mana sword with his mana, shook his head.
Regret only leaves behind attachment.
It was his choice, so it was his responsibility.
'I didn't know humans were this strong.'
The biggest mistake was thinking that sending six centurions would be enough.
He should have brought the six centurions and fought alongside them himself.
'If I had, I would have killed those three humans and gone to catch the dragon long ago.'
It couldn't be helped now.
He could see that the humans were getting tired little by little.
But it was Legion Commander Obilio who was becoming increasingly disadvantaged.
Especially that young human, who didn't get tired and just kept stirring things up more and more.
'It's a disgrace to die like this. It's a disgrace to return to the demon world alive. Then I'd rather…….'
He came to the conclusion that it would be better to kill them all and die himself.
Mana Grand Discharge.
A technique that releases the mana accumulated over a long, long time all at once.
Originally, the used mana would be quickly replenished.
But this technique releases such a high density of mana in such a short time that it directly leads to mana loss.
It doesn't mean that using this technique will kill you right away.
But losing the mana accumulated over a long time.
To a demon, especially to Obilio, who had risen to the position of legion commander, it was no different from death.
'It's my mistake. I'll have to wrap up the work here and pass the order on to the next legion commanders.'
Having sorted out his thoughts, Obilio turned his head and looked at the sky.
Kuwaaa.
He saw the black dragon flying around, spewing breath.
That dragon alone had blown away half of his legion so far.
'At this distance, you're going with me too. Black Dragon.'
Legion Commander Obilio began to rotate the mana within his body.
At that time.
Drip, drop.
From the clear sky.
Ice rain began to fall.
Drip, drop.
Ice rain fell on the wide field.
The demons who were still struggling to push into Elton City.
The humans who were trying to protect the defense line at all costs.
Even Insanis, the black dragon flying in the sky.
They raised their heads and looked at the sky.
A clear sky without a single cloud.
Davian faced his palm towards the sky and felt the ice rain.
"Glacier."
Drip, drop.
The ice rain came down more and more fiercely.
"You're back."
Clack, clack.
The sound of glass shoes, which didn't suit the battlefield where demons and humans were intertwined, rang out clearly.
"Davian, how have you been?"
Glacier, who was shining blue alone on the gray battlefield, approached Davian with elegant steps.
"Why are you so late?"
Glacier, who had come close, reached out and hugged Davian lightly.
"I missed you."
Davian felt the same way.
Especially in this situation.
Obilio, who was floating in the air and rotating his mana, looked at Davian and Glacier.
'What's that?'
It was a race that felt completely new.
'Can a spirit fully exert its power in the human realm? I thought they couldn't because they were bound by various contracts.'
It didn't matter.
Very soon.
All the races gathered here would die.
The same went for Obilio's legion subordinates.
The moment they joined the legion, they had sacrificed their lives to the legion commander, so they wouldn't have much to complain about.
He decided to resolve one last question.
After all, he still needed a little more time to fully rotate his mana.
"A spirit? You've appeared in the human realm at a bad time."
Glacier, who was enjoying her reunion with Davian with a light hug, turned her head.
"What is it? That drab thing."
Legion Commander Obilio's brow furrowed.
A drab thing?
It was a novel expression he had never heard before in his life.
"The price for saying whatever you want is death……."
At that time.
Glacier reached out her arm towards Legion Commander Obilio.
Crack, crack.
The legion commander's body, floating in the air, was covered in ice.
"Your voice is drab too."
Crack.
The sound of the ice becoming more and more solid rang out eerily.
"Get lost. I have a lot to talk about with Davian."
Crash!
The solid ice덩이가 exploded.
Of course.
Legion Commander Obilio's body also exploded along with it.
Glacier, who was looking down at her palm for a moment, turned her head towards Davian.
"What is it? Davian, how much stronger have you gotten in the meantime?"
The stronger Davian became, the greater the influence Glacier could have on the human realm.
Davian made a gesture of 'a little' with his thumb and forefinger.
"It's not a little, is it?"
Ting.
=====
[Quest 'Demonic Wave' Completed]
―Legion Commander Obilio has died, and the connection to the demon world has been closed.
―Reward: 200K Mana Points (x2)
=====
The Demonic Wave quest, which had driven Davian to death in the 3rd playthrough.
The Demonic Wave quest, which had become even more powerful in the 4th playthrough, ended with a single gesture from Glacier.
Glacier took Davian's hand.
"Let's go home. I have so much to tell you. I went to this place and that place……."
Kuwaaa.
The quest was over, but Insanis's anger was not over.
Glacier raised her head and looked at the sky.
The giant black dragon was spewing breath towards the demonic legion.
"It's Insanis?"
Davian asked.
"Do you know Insanis Uncle?"
"Ah, it's not like we know each other well, I just know he's a crazy dragon. Did his seal get released?"
Davian nodded.
"He's regained his sanity too."
Glacier tilted her head.
"Is he really sane? But why is he acting like that?"
Davian shrugged his shoulders.
"Maybe someone broke his lair's fence or something."
"Ah, is that so? Then it makes sense."
Hugo Molton and Leo Martiang knelt on one knee on the ground and paid their respects.
"We greet Glacier, the founding contributor of the nation."
Glacier lightly waved her hand.
"That was a long time ago. You don't need to show respect anymore. Anyway, can I leave the rest here to you? I have a lot to talk about with Davian. So many drab guys have invaded."
President Hugo Molton replied.
"We are greatly indebted to you, Glacier-nim. We will take care of the remaining demonic remnants."
Glacier shrugged her shoulders and pointed to the sky with her finger.
"It seems like he'll take care of everything if we leave it alone. Anyway, we're leaving. Let's go, Davian."
The next day morning.
Davian's accommodation.
"There's such a strong human?"
"Yeah. I completely lost this time."
"But he spared you, saying he'd fight you again later?"
"Yeah."
Glacier nodded with an interesting expression.
"That emperor guy is an interesting human."
"Interesting? He's a complete monster."
"Anyway, so those things happened. And yesterday, an entire demonic legion invaded?"
"Yeah."
"Davian was busy too."
Davian had to listen to Glacier's adventure stories from the dimensions she had visited all night long.
After the morning sun rose, he had to tell her about what he had experienced in return.
Bellus cautiously approached the two who were in the midst of a conversation.
"Um……."
