When they first spotted that gigantic silhouette amidst the thickly descending clouds.
The children fell into despair, thinking another Myrmat had appeared.
Kwaaaaaah
but something was different.
Luke stared at it, circling through the air endlessly.
That roaring sound.
Every time the roar reached his ears, he felt as if he were standing alone in a field where thunderstorms raged fiercely with each lightning strike.
From the back of his neck to the soles of his feet, chills ran rampant.
It was markedly different from Myrmats sharp and irritable cries.
It was much more formidable.
Yussi, too, was stunned, frozen in place.
Even she, who had vanquished countless demons, had never heard a sound quite like this.
What in the world is that?
Everyone looked up at the sky with pale faces.
Hatred, murderous intent, warlike intent amidst the myriad emotions swirling around, one dominated alone.
Fear.
Could it be another dreadful creation prepared by the Demonic Church Leader?
I dont know.
Even discerning its exact appearance was difficult.
The dark surroundings and thick clouds posed problems, but its speed was so great that even those with keen eyesight found it hard to track with their eyes.
One thing was certain that monster was flying straight towards this ship.
It was evident from the constantly growing shadow.
Luke reflexively turned to his friends but hesitated.
What?
The face of Kalende, who moments ago had been poised to kill them, was now drained of color.
As they tried to examine more closely.
The enormous shadow swiftly engulfed them.
Kwaaaaaah!
Something unidentified swooped down and collided with Myrmat.
As if calculated meticulously, it surged forward suddenly, accelerating.
The Demonic Church executives near Myrmat all became mere bloodstains as they were flung dozens of meters into the air.
Aaaargh!
The speed was so fast that even Kalende, who had been watching it approach keenly, couldnt react.
The children reflexively braced for impact, but surprisingly, the shock inflicted upon the ship wasnt as great as expected.
That was because it had seized Myrmats neck with its claws and was soaring into the air.
It resembled a hawk snatching its prey.
Kiieee
Myrmat, struck by the unexpected attack, continued its desperate struggle.
Those on the ship forgot about fighting each other, gaping with mouths wide open, witnessing the spectacle of colossal creatures grappling dozens of meters in the air.
Its so huge.
Is that thing really a living being?
Even though it approached closely, they couldnt fathom the size of the newly emerged monster.
No, they couldnt even fit its entire body into view.
Its length was easily twice that of Myrmat, and its thickness showed even more disparity.
Perhaps because of this, despite Myrmats desperate struggles, it ascended into the air effortlessly.
Though it seemed unlikely, its movements appeared to be aimed at protecting the ship.
Kiieee!
Meanwhile, Myrmat continued its fierce resistance.
Wrapping its body around the monster like a snake, it thrashed with its claws and struck with its tail.
It even relentlessly bit with its teeth.
But it was all in vain.
Myrmats claws, which had torn the ship apart like sheets of paper, only skimmed vainly over its hard scales.
Familiar, bluish scales.
It was when a familiar voice resounded in their ears.
[Ouch! Ouch! That hurts! Stay still!]
?
Surprisingly, the monster was speaking in human language.
But the children were too preoccupied to pay attention to this anomaly.
That voice.
Surely not, right?New novel chapters are published on
The children looked at each other with trembling eyes.
Even Luke, doubting whether the medical staff had administered hallucinogens, pinched his own arm.
Ha, thank you so much for coming when I still have limbs.
Thank you.
The last ones were the frozen companions of the Demonic Church Leader.
All the Demonic Church Leaders were either dead or incapacitated.
The remaining ones were just a demon and Kalende.
They were in shock and despair, gazing alternately between the giant dragon and each other.
The demon didnt bother him much.
The Heros eyes were fixed on Kalendes gaunt face.
The strongest leader in history.
The possessor of the Zeros blessing and the one who had killed Dorempa.
Even if his body was in good condition, he couldnt guarantee victory.
Moreover, he had just fought a battle and didnt have enough stamina or mana.
Having children and comrades to protect behind him was just a bonus.
However, despite all these unfavorable conditions, the Heros expression remained as calm as usual.
In fact, he was thinking along these lines
Perhaps its fortunate to face it head-on at this moment.
He had protected the sanctuary while battling 500 demons and monsters in the harsh land of the north, and subdued a giant.
Since obtaining the Iris of Laplace, this was arguably his greatest achievement.
Naturally, the rewards had already been given long ago.
Confirming this while riding Cuculli was a relief.
In the freezing land, the firewood burns.
A flame that will not be extinguished.
Understanding of Ted Redymer deepens.
Understanding: 63/100 -> 70/100
Understanding of Cuculli Evans deepens.
Understanding: 40/100 -> 50/100
Salvation: Fourth Rite, Stellar Rift has been unlocked.
There were other minor rewards that followed, but the important ones were this.
As Teds understanding increased, his power also rose, and there was significant progress in Salvation rites.
Buk
The Hero walked slowly towards the Demonic Church Leader.
I never thought Id get Stellar Rift now.
From the Great Forest to the North.
It was truly a series of the worst timings and misalignments.
However, at this moment, luck seemed to be on his side.
The Stellar Rift was a Salvation rite developed to protect his comrades from formidable enemies and engage in unrestricted combat.
In the great battle, it was also the first Salvation rite Ted used against the Demonic King.
Oooooong
It was the moment when the Heros remaining mana flowed for the activation of the Fourth Rite.
[Kids, Waldiff, come behind me. Professor, Ill take care of the demons.]
Cucullis calm voice echoed in everyones ears.
The Hero looked at her with a surprised expression.
She must have gained strength, and it wouldnt be strange if she went wild and tore apart the archenemy of her father, the Demonic Church Leader.
Drrrr
Cucullis giant pupils turned towards the Demonic Church Leader before returning to her friends.
The Hero could read her inner thoughts.
Shes grown up.
Of course, it was true that she had gained tremendous power thanks to the baptism, but it was also true that she was slow to adapt to the power because Cucullis essence had not disappeared.
Perhaps it would be difficult to face the Demonic Church Leader right away.
It seemed that protecting her friends in poor condition from the demons was the right decision.
[Theres one more enemy.]
Alright.
The Hero briefly pushed aside the image of Ibar Waitanka that came to mind.
The traitor of the Dawn Knights, the culprit who made Ted die.
He was a deeply hated opponent, but now was the time to focus on the enemy in front of him.
Executing Salvation Rite 4: Stellar Rift
Eliminate the threat in the north and return to Rosenstark with the children.
The final stage had begun.
