Side Story Chapter 310

Side Story Chapter 310

The one-sided battle changed with the sudden arrival of new allies, but that also perplexed the alliance forces.

“Isn’t that Swallow’s flag...?”

“Why in the world would they suddenly do this?”

“No way... Did Avalon and Swallow ally?”

The faces of the alliance’s troops brightened. On the other hand, Hubalt's forces couldn’t be more baffled. They were so close to winning the battle, but then Swallow's forces showed up, which put them back to square one!

“Let’s drive out Hubalt!”

“You crazy Swallow freaks! Do you really want to do this with us again?!”

“We should put an end to the bad blood between our countries!”

“You shameless sons of bitches! Your Grand Duke Lucifer was the one who betrayed Hubalt at Reinhardt!”

“Who cares? No one remembers that dusty relic!”

The knights from Swallow were throwing out the most taunts under instructions from Arash, the Fox Master and their strategist, because everyone was prone to mistakes when they lost their cool.

“...Your Majesty,” Arash said.

“Huh?”

“I believe this is the right time to tell you that I’ll be temporarily away to finish a job.”

Anna turned, shocked. “We’re in the middle of an important battle. Is it more important than this?”

“Yes. Unless I go now, the continent is doomed even if we win the war.”

Anna went quiet.

“I have to go to the mountain in north Avalon. Without the Marital God, there is no way we can stop that man.”

After pondering for a moment, Anna nodded. “...Okay. Take those Vaikals with you.”

“The Vaikals? But—”

“You’ll never get there in time with a horse. Vaikals are a lot quicker. Besides, you might get attacked on the way.”

Arash was still hesitant, so Anna quickly reassured her.

“I have those Vaikals that I lent to Kireua. They’re here too,” she reminded Arash.

“...Thank you for your concern.”

Anna smiled. “No problem. Bring the Martial God back and save the continent.”

Just then, a pool of light appeared nearby Anna and Arash, the unmistakable sign of a teleportation spell. Someone was coming. The nearby knights tensed up and surrounded Anna and Arash protectively.

“Whoa, whoa. Take it easy, it’s us. And you don’t need to go to the north.”

The voice came from a man floating in the air.

Anna gaped at the light. “Wh-When...?”

When the light disappeared, hundreds of mages were standing in its place.

“Does everyone have their spells ready?” Theta, the flying man, shouted.

“Yes, sir!”

“Good. Fire!”

Selim panted. His eyes were bloodshot.

He heard footsteps. It didn’t take long for Selim to recognize them.

“...Kireua.”

“...Are you okay?”

Selim rubbed his teary eyes. “How long has it been...since that fucking son of a bitch came here?”

“Thirty minutes at most. It’s less than an hour for sure,” Kireua answered as he wiped blood off his cheeks. “Half a day against that monster... Phew. I did think it was going to be tough, but this is too much.”

“...I’ll use my true mana.”

“What?” Kireua gave Selim a startled look.

“Our original plan didn’t work, so there’s no other choice.”

“...Hey, I’m a prince too. I’m not going to make you sacrifice yourself on your own.” Kireua looked at the fog where Bel was likely waiting. “I’ll risk my life too.”

Kireua’s eyes shifted to his half-destroyed death knights, battered as they were. The sturdy Vaikals which Anna had lent to him were also irreparably damaged. He had told his father that the Vaikals were treasures that his dear friend had entrusted him with, but they ended up in that mess...

‘...Anna is going to give me hell of a scolding for this.’

Kireua smiled bitterly and tightened his grip on his sword.

“Ah, I suddenly miss her,” Kireua muttered. The looming threat of death had brought Anna to his mind for some reason.

“What?”

“Hey, Selim.”

“...Yeah?”

“You’re certainly better than me at it, so you should lead Avalon for me.”

“...What?” Selim immediately turned to look at Kireua. “What do you mean—”

“And I’m the better man for this kind of job.”

Selim stiffened as the power of Kireua’s two Evil Sins spilled over the garden.

‘Coju and Wrath, let’s make a deal,’ Kireua brightly said.

-Huh?

‘My body, my soul... I’ll give you two everything you want.’

The fog slowly subsided, revealing Bel, who was stretching his neck.

‘In return, help me get rid of that guy.’

Kireua’s eyes gleamed sharply.

“Ugh!” Selim slowly stumbled backward, unable to withstand the demonic power that Kireua unleashed.

Coju, a black cotton ball, jumped up and down like a child, but the expression it wore was quite peculiar. On the other hand, the power of Wrath manifested in the form of a demon, smiling from ear to ear.

-The deal

-has been made.

Kireua’s demonic power concentrated at one point and then exploded.

“...Oh.” Kireua had managed to draw Bel’s interest for the first time. “I thought there was only one entrée in this fight, but there’s one more.”
