Chapter 414: I’m glad. Light Kiyoung has descended (5)

I nodded pleasantly at the moment unfolding before me.

In fact, I was a little nervous at first.

But as a result, a beautiful situation was being produced.

It was probably the most disgusting outcome for the Demon Summoner.

Honestly, if I were in his position, I would have thought about how I could reverse the situation.

‘He will have no answer.’

I finally put him on a checkmate.

It was like encountering the detectives while holding a weapon at the scene of a murder case.

It wasn’t that different from Laios.

All the evidence and circumstances pointed to him as the Demon Summoner, and the escape hole was completely blocked.

Of course, that wasn’t the end of the gift I prepared for him.

‘I admit it.’

Of course, I had to admit it.

He was an excellent military commander.

During the war, he was backstabbed several times, yet he remained vicious and dangerous.

executed. Most of them were spotted and debunked. He ended up having to walk into his trap with his own two feet.

If I had been in his position, I would have ripped off my hair again and again.

It was possible to say that he was in trouble to that extent.

Still, I could be sure.

He couldn’t reverse the situation.

The situation that was taking place then had nothing to do with the war.

It was illogical to think that he could use the numerous knowledge and strategies stored in his head in his situation.

The entire state of affairs was no longer under his control.

Waves of dialogue and consensus continued to transpire as everyone united. Humanity joined hands against the undead to drive them out of existence.

In that situation, they no longer cared about who’s in command and whose camp they were in.

There were only two options.

To look at the situation blankly. Or, like last time, do his best to run away.

Of course, he could only do the latter if he had the means to escape.

There was no need for voice amplification anymore.

There was no need to respond to his voice, nor did I need to heat up in anger. The only mission I had left was to be faithful to that situation and stick to my public role.

‘I have to finish it well.’

As we reached the climax, finalizing the picture was more important than anything else.

I could watch the situation safely from behind, but I didn’t want to do that.

To show that I was fighting harder than anyone else, I needed to hold up a spear.

I had to become a showy asshole, like what politicians often became right before elections.

It didn’t seem like much, but it certainly worked.

“For the continent!!!”

“For the light! For Goddess Benignore, Elune,

“Raise the flag! Let’s prove that the light is still alive on the continent! Benignore’s sons and daughters!”

“Don’t stop with the arrows!”

It could certainly be called a crisis.

However, the image of humanity constantly resisting was enough to give a hopeful message.

Perhaps I wasn’t the only one thinking of a bright future.

As I stood on the front line with the spear, I saw the hideous undead that I desperately didn’t want to face.

They seemed to have flinched when they looked at me, but they continued to fulfill their role faithfully.

The common soldiers struggling to stop the advance of the undead were worthy of being painted.

As time passed, my face became covered with sweat and dirt.

The picture was good enough.

Oh! Of course, scenes that made the surrounding people worry shouldn’t be left out.

“Honorary Cardinal! You have to go inside. It’s dangerous!”

“Sigh. Sigh. I can’t just look. I am okay.”

“Honorary Cardinal!”

“Everyone is fighting together- even the soldiers of the Republic. If I hide, many people will blame me. Phew. I have to play the role I have been given. I can also fight the undead.”

“But…”

“I will not listen anymore. We’re in an urgent situation. I hope you understand.”

“Yes, yes…”

“I can add even at least a little power. Everyone, stay strong!”

There were huge nuisances with me standing in the frontlines. Even if I said I was fine, those around me still worried.

They had no choice but to continue to move forward with me, to protect me, which limited their actions.

However, we couldn’t miss out on the free propaganda clips.

The Goddess’s Mirror was shining on our side as if it was playing along with me.

It hurt her to be unable to show a more dramatic look.

However, the way I continued to exude divine power was enough for me to be considered a messenger of God.

“The Honorary Cardinal is with you!”

“The Honorary Cardinal is with us! Raise your swords!”

My presence alone was enough to raise the morale of our troops effectively.

It’s upsetting that I had to be among the disgusting undead legion, but I could endure it.

When I thought I needed a new spark, a huge corpse started running over towards me.

I knew he couldn’t hurt me, but it still gave me chills.

‘I can play with this bastard a little…’

Although I smiled too widely at the thought of creating an emotional situation that would take all tears and make them have a runny nose, I could see the ally troops surrounding him instantly.

It looked like they didn’t want to see me in danger.

Without Kim Ye-ri, Ahn Ki-mo, and Park Deokgu, I realized again how hard it was to stage an emotional moment.

‘Manipulation is not easy.’

I had to approach it a little more realistically.

If it were finished in a halfhearted way, it would leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Kim Hyunsung could be convinced by giving him the impression that not only the ally troops but all of humanity were in danger.

Looking at the Goddess’s Mirror, I could see the lovely returner’s face stiffening.

Taking an even closer look, he seemed quite tired.

‘It’s understandable.’

I knew that he was safe, but his whole body was covered in scars. He also seemed to have run out of magic power. I felt sad.

He could even rest a little, but I can still see his nervousness.

It seems to me that he’s still anxious since it’s a situation he already expected.

‘I wonder if it’s similar to what happened.’

Of course, I had to think that I did well at causing the undead chaos.

These undead were gifts for Jin Qing, but also Kim Hyunsung.

It was to help dispel his doubts that the masked garbage was going to fall too easily.

The question was if our lovely returner would be satisfied with that.

In the Demon Summoner’s case, it seemed to have been satisfactory enough, but Kim Hyunsung, who was still anxious, seemed to feel that there was more to come.

‘Is this not enough?’

I thought that it would be enough like how it was for the masked trash, but I thought that the wicked tricks that turned allies into undead were just a warm-up.

I really wanted to prepare something else, but I had neither ideas nor time.

‘Fuck.’

What I could do right then was to create a more dramatic situation.

Doing something more might cause side effects.

It could leave a bad taste in my mouth, but once the war was over, I could cover it up enough if I just glossed over it. No, I could erase the suspicion with the heavy blow I had prepared.

Naturally, I once again raised my spear.

The picture that I wanted was to resist the undead with as many troops as possible.

But there wasn’t enough sense of danger.

‘I think it will be more realistic if some of the dead here could rise…’

I didn’t know if she understood it, but as if it was waiting for my signal, the soldiers of the Republic began to rise.

Although they were all low-ranking undead, it would be enough to burden the exhausting troops.

“The enemy…”

“They’re all low-level undead! Don’t dismantle the frontline! Hold on as much you can!”

“Weary soldiers, go to the rear! Those who still have enough stamina to fight should take the lead!”

“Oh, Goddess Benignore!”

The undead who had received more and more momentum screamed and shrieked as they occupied as much land as they could.

As if they accepted the meaning of the need for support a little differently, Jung Hayan and Han Sora began to put their efforts in earnest.

It felt like a legendary-grade undead had popped out from somewhere.

As time passed, it wasn’t easy to get rid of the feeling that the frontline itself was being pushed back.

‘Fuck, is this one too strong? I guess it’ll be really hard to hold on…’

The formation was slowly collapsing.

The line maintained by physically exhausted soldiers began to show gaps, allowing the undead to squeeze into the ranks.

“Support! Support them with divine power!”

“But…”

“Fortify the side that is falling apart. Republic troops, help the State as much as possible.”

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

“Don’t lose! Hold on!!”

It felt like the ranks were collapsing faster than I thought.

I thought they would hold on a little longer, but it seemed that all of the troops couldn’t physically do that.

‘That much should’ve been obvious.’

The undead legion came while the State and the Republic were fighting earnestly against each other.

It was the same with Kim Hyunsung, but it was clear that the named people in each region were also feeling a tremendous burden.

Needless to say, the common soldiers were having an even tougher time.

It’s already a crisis, but I wasn’t sure if it’s the threat Kim Hyunsung was imagining.

The burden left on the troops was already too much for me to even think about adding more.

‘It’s getting more dramatic…’

“Damn it! Hold on!”

“Unit 13 collapsed! Support Unit 13! Priests!”

“The Republican troops… are by the undead unit.”

“They’re still alive. Build a unit right now and save them.”

“We can’t afford to do that.”

“Damn! Oh, God!”

“Goddess Benignore! Will you really abandon us? Goddess Benignore!”

‘When it gets even more dramatic…’

“Elune! Grant us the power to protect the continent!”

‘A little more, a little more…’

“Oh, Elune!”

The troops’ lines that made up the surrounding camps began to be broken through.

The undead who pushed through the narrow gap was starting to attack the priests and wizards.

Even some of the Republic’s troops were completely swept away by the lifeless foes.

It wasn’t strange to keep looking for God.

The moment I looked up to see the situation a little more, I saw Park Deokgu struggling through the Goddess’s Mirror.

The moment I saw the guy crushing the undead attacking the Republic’s soldiers with a shield, I naturally raised what was in my arms.

I could no longer withstand my heavy conscience.

voices coming from all over the place seemed to be swallowed for a moment.

The light spread all over me in an instant.

Whoooosshhh!

The world brightened.

The gazes focused on its source.

However, perhaps because of my heavy conscience, I couldn’t properly look into the soldiers’ eyes staring at me.

Short but impactful phrases echoed across the fields the moment I closed my eyes to avoid their vision as much as possible.

“It is a hierophany… a hierophany.”

“Goddess Benignore…has come.”

‘It’s this, right?!’

It was just as I calculated.

The second card, which I made just in case, was definitely fulfilling its role.

‘Benignore’s descent cosplay.’

It was the effect that came with the Bomb of Light potion.

‘I am Benignore itself, bastards!”

[Rare-grade forced quest is activated.]

[You… really, this bastard. Let go of me! Let go of me! Don’t stop me! Elune, you bastard, won’t you let go of me? Motherfuckers! That bastard has done it! I can’t stand it anymore! (0/1)]

[Due to an unknown reason, the rare-grade forced quest was canceled.]

A hopeless battle.

The dark forces were pushing the forces of light. The most divine brilliance appeared just as the darkness was about to devour the last glimmer of holiness.

‘The Goddess’s Descent.’

Of course, it’s nothing more than a simple bluff.

However, it was effective enough that I could feel my body being surrounded by the light.
