Chapter 346

[ Episode 346. Destruction level episode ]

“Congratulations on your safe return!”

Bahat, surrounded by a crowd of people, nodded with a sullen face and walked. It was a bothersome hospitality because he had been to the imperial palace to testify about what had happened in Fortion.

“you!”

“father!”

However, even such Bahat had no choice but to melt in front of his family.

“What a relief. I’m really glad you’re okay.”

“Dad, let’s go in now.”

“okay.”

Returning to the family, Bahat looked much older. In fact, there was a reason he had no choice but to grow old, so he sat down with a tired face.

“I just heard the story. I’m really glad you’re okay.”

“I will say it. It’s fortunate that the family is safe. I never imagined that it would turn into such a mess.”

“It’s a bit embarrassing to say this, but thanks to my father’s absence, I was able to avoid the tide of war a little bit.”

While the two were talking, there was a commotion outside, and someone violently opened the door and entered.

“dad!”

“Diane!”

After three years, Diene has grown more mature, but in front of Bahat, whom she has not seen in a while, she looks like a child.

“Aren’t you hurt anywhere? Are you feeling well? Where are you sick?”

“I’m okay. More than that, I’m really glad you look okay too.”

The families, who shared their regards for a while again, soon moved on to the next story after confirming that each other was safe.

“It is fiercer than I thought. Superhumans have not directly collided with each other yet, but they are hitting and hitting the marginal line every now and then.”

At the words of his son, Carlos, Bahat narrowed his eyes.

“I felt it too. It wasn’t even a fuss. In the meantime, I felt that everyone had been forging. The only question is the Holy Kingdom. Why are you trying to enmity us?”

“We are still figuring it out, but I wonder if they are simply trying to jump on board with the current.”

“Well, it’s just a holy country, but it’s a place where there’s no sacred part...”

It was an empire that was attacked from all sides.

In addition, as Morheim’s rebellion, which was evaluated as one of the four flags, occurred inside, the war situation was forced to become tense.

“Looks like Minus has been properly prepared.”

“That’s right. The Empire tried to be the first to deal with the civil war, but the situation was stuck with unexpected difficulties. In addition, the Confederacy is already in the territory of the Empire, so it seems that they are closely connected with each other.”

While talking with Carlos, Bahat soon noticed Diene hesitating next to him.

“Why?”

“yes yes?”

“Adrias is fine. Rather, you’re finer than me, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Diene struggled to shake her head at Bahat, who said with a face that she noticed her inner thoughts.

“I never cared.”

“Lucia Everlast is also safe. You should have returned to Hollington by now. Come to think of it, which side was Hollington on?”

“Well... Hollington tried to side with the Empire, but the Emperor refused. It was because the family had already been in close contact with Morhaime and Cromwell, so they could not be trusted.”

“I must have joined the other side by crying and eating mustard.”

“you’re right. It’s a bit unfortunate.”

Bahat, lost in thought for a moment, fell silent, and silence fell in the room. Everyone didn’t say anything, but they realized that since Bahat had returned, they were one step closer to the vortex of confusion.

“We’ll have to make a decision too.”

Bahat finally opened his mouth, but Carlos questioned his words.

“Decision......Are you saying?”

“okay.”

“Are you saying you’re deciding who to deal with?”

“well.”

A tense atmosphere enveloped Bahat’s words.

It was unknown whether it was the Confederacy, the rebels, or the eastern kingdoms looking for a chance to decide who to fight against.

“I’d rather deal with the Confederacy...”

Bahat tilted his head as Diene cautiously offered his opinion.

“Southern?”

“yes. Putting down the rebellion is not beneficial in many ways. Wouldn’t it be better to deal with the South and get Confederate land or goods?”

“It must have been a misunderstanding.”

Bahat ate and laughed and continued.

“It was a matter of timing when I said I was making a decision. The opponent has already been decided.”

“You mean you’ve already decided where you’re going to play? Where, by any chance...?”

“Don’t tell me that soon. For now, I’ll take a break. If someone comes from the imperial palace or another family, politely decline and send them back.”

“huh.”

Anyway, physically, there was no problem at all.

There were some side effects from the wings he used while fighting Louis, but it wasn’t a problem if he didn’t sleep for a day or so.

‘It was fortunate that Louis became an Aura Master without my help.’

In fact, if he hadn’t used his corrupted wings, it would have been difficult to defeat Lewis with just his sword.

Playable’s aura draw changed every time depending on what experience they had in the game.

‘I’ve played Lewis the most, but I’ve only been able to get the Hwa’an Gold Medal once.’

From what I’ve experienced, it was an ability that I think is the best among all the aura biggies I’ve ever gotten with Lewis.

“Wait a minute.”

“yes.”

As soon as I reached the front of my room, Vivian hurriedly disappeared somewhere, asking me to wait for a while. After a while, he appeared with something in his hand.

“Let’s go in.”

“What is that?”

“......snack.”

snack?

It was a fleeting moment for me thanks to Bahat I saw after three years, but Vivian seemed to have changed something.

“Did you like sweets?”

“no.”

what then

Anyway, when we entered the room, the cool air greeted us. It was a room that didn’t feel warm, probably because it had been cleaned without anyone using it.

Click-

As soon as I entered the room, Vivian touched the cutlery on one side of the room and started brewing tea.

“Does Vivian’s tea know us?”

“I learned.”

3 years is really a long time.

Even if Vivian is cold, she’ll be with us.

I opened the bag of sweets she brought just when I was surprised by something different.

“Can I eat this?”

“......huh.”

As he put the bite-sized cookie into his mouth, he thought of Luna. I feel like Luna would like it.

“how is it?”

I thoughtlessly nodded to Vivian, who brought the tea.

“It is delicious. Snacks like this would be sold in the capital......”

I stopped talking because something was wrong.

It’s ridiculous to buy snacks from the capital now that the war is over.

“Where did you get it?”

“I made it.”

“yes? Who?”

“I.”

No, what the hell have you been doing for 3 years?

As the unexpected answers kept coming, I was at a loss for words in embarrassment.

Then Vivian came up to my face and touched my scar.

“I will never lose again.”

It sounded a bit scary, but knowing that she was worried, he smiled lightly and held her hand.

“yes.”

“Eat more sweets.”

Vivian grabbed a handful of cookies and brought them to my mouth. Seeing that scene made me feel like I was really back home, and I smiled without realizing it.

“There are too many.”

Watching Vivian hurriedly put down the cookies and pick up one, I felt it again.

The reason I want to protect this world from destruction.

And what needs to be done right now.

‘I’ll have to find Hegel first.’

One of the destruction-level episodes that I learned about through the work of Portrion this time. That was Hegel.

It’s a fact that I didn’t know while playing the game, but I was able to guess it by seeing that Luna was called to Portion and that a war broke out as soon as the case of Portion happened.

It may be too late, but finding him now will make things a little easier.

The destruction-level episode following the chaos episode was the 4th Knight of the Apocalypse.
