Chapter 740: 740
After finishing the idea of a super amplified magic circle, Luke moved to Brandon city using a large-teleport gate .
And immediately started the production process .
After selecting the area to install a large magic circle, the necessary materials, resources, manpower, and Gigants were brought in .
Although the work to build the magic circle was going ahead, the problems which weren’t thought out were appearing one after another .
“Your Majesty, people are refusing to evict from the temple which is located in the area where the magic circle is being built . ”
“Her Holiness has given the permission, so take the relics and evacuate the people . If we don’t push ahead, the hero-level Gigant which needs to be placed there will be worthless, and this plan won’t work . ”
“We have already said it to them, they are saying that they believe in God Mars, and cannot obey the orders of el Kassel church . ”
It seemed like the priests changed a lot from the past, however, that didn’t seem to be the case .
The priests who were living in the cities were relatively shifting with the changing world, however, it didn’t seem like everyone did .
Those priests who lived in villages and rural areas didn’t .
And the Mars temple seemed like such a place .
But Luke didn’t have the time to delay the work .
“Forcefully pull them out, and demolish the temple . And tell them that we will rebuild the temple . ”
“Yes, Your Majesty . ”
The same day, the temple was demolished as they heard that it was the King’s direct order .
The priests constantly cursed as the act, saying that those who brought down the temple would die .
Nevertheless, nothing happened .
‘Uh, Does God Mars have the patience to listen to the prayers of those who don’t understand the importance of work, just because they are priests?’

Not just the God of War, no God would ever listen to such a prayer .
“And the relay tower?”
When Luke asked, Meister Mute of Katarina Magic tower responded with fluster .
“The relay tower which will be made on the northern mountain peak has a rough terrain, and the material transportation is getting delayed . ”
“How can that happen? Don’t you remember the things used to defeat the Grenada Navy in the last war?”
“I will contact Marquis Volant, who is in charge of the Navy . ”
Mute immediately sent the magic communication of Marquis Volant .
And after some time, the machines with dust all over them flew in from the Lamer city to help in carrying the materials .
Not just the northwest front of the nation, which the Gram brothers were in charge of, but the situation of other nations too were reported .
“The Volga Republic is evacuating all the residents with Ankara river as their final stop . ”
At the report from Prime Minister Hans, Luke asked .
“The Ankara river is the largest flowing river in the western Volga, right?”
“Yes, Your Majesty . During this time, it has a very high flow, but it seems that they are planning to use that point to prevent the Undead from crossing the river . ”
The Navarre Duchy, as Luke had advised, took refuge in the Veron Mountains .
People, who couldn’t enter the underground city, crossed the border and headed for Volga Republic .
“The 2 million undead who have entered the Baroque are being blocked by the Holy Empire and allied forces of Castia Kingdom at the Noirban forest . ”
“Noirban forest… the Baroque has turned into an Undead hunting ground . ”
The Noirban forest was a large forest which was counted as one of the Empire’s lands .
In addition, it was the hunting ground for the Imperial family only, the logging of trees was prohibited .

The dense trees and vines all over the forest was an excellent barrier .
“We can use the chemicals…”
“Don’t you want to use chemicals, Your Majesty?”
Asked Hans, seeing a bitter expression in Luke’s tone .
“The ones who have turned into Undead, not a single one in them have volunteered to turn into an Undead . ”
“That is true . ”
The Undead got destroyed when burnt .
No matter how outstanding Reina’s divine power was, she didn’t have the talent to revive the dead from ashes .
The opportunity to purify and turn them back to humans will disappear forever .
“But in reality, it is difficult without using the chemicals . ”
“Yes, if it helps in preventing more damage, we shouldn’t back out . ”
For that reason, the Symphonia troops in the Verange Castle too were preparing to use chemicals .
Of course, their reasoning was to stop and not annihilate .
It was practically impossible to produce large scale chemical engineering .
‘Anyway, we need to hurry up with the finishing of the super large magic circle . ’
That was the only thing in Luke’s mind .
A messenger rushed towards Luke to report .
“Majesty! The one enemy Undead unit is said to have crossed into the Pamire mountains!”
“Already!?”
He thought that it would take some time as the mountain was steep, but the Undead moved faster .
Due to the nature of the Undead, he knew that they would advance without even taking a single break .
However, he never thought that they would pass the roads and traps placed .
“According to the scouts, the undead were used to fill the gap and then passed . ”
“I am tired from just hearing the words . ”
Luke could imagine what happened from the report given by the messenger .
‘Well, there will be a battle soon enough . We might not have been extremely prepared, but I hope they do their best and endure it . ’
Looking down at the map, Luke prayed for the allies who were in the Verange castle .
He had no intention of just standing there and praying for them .
Once the construction of the magic circles was done to a satisfiable extent, he was thinking of running to Verange Castle .

Gather all and I will tell you a story! A story of how a champion was summoned into the doomed realm of Ortho. Of how instead of a champion, they got a woman old enough to be your mother. And what happened after that? I will tell you how the champion traveled into the Felorn Woods with her friends, in search of her lost youth. And how instead of youth, what she found was Hell itself. You don't believe me? Then go on and see for yourself. But don't come crying to me if it was too much! * * * This is the second part of A Hero Past the 25th Part 1 | Part 3 | Part 4-7
8 199Spiko's Journey
This is a Story of Spiko. An once normal cat, now a cat-girl. Which found herself in a new world. Searching for her home and anything that can hold her attention long enough. Join Spiko on her travels, in a world that is as unforgiving as it is breath taking. Be warned. This is a somewhat slow burn story. I expect that I will need a few chapters to get the rough outlines out there. General Info: -I really do this mostly, cause i need to freshen up my grammar and stuff. So, I will go over these chapters a lot, if I find errors (or you find them). I will mark revised chapters and what I changed in them ( if it is of importance to the story). I'm sorry for anything i might unleash onto the world. -There will be a little of everything in this. But I will never do harem stuff. Or horror just for the sake of it being horrific. No needless bad popes, bandits that rape villagers. Just for a hero to save the day. No stupid tropes. No OP Powers that can call forth doom to anyone. Spiko has Plot Armor as thick as any MC that you can't really kill off for good. But no Demon Lord will trip over a pebble, onto a peel of any fruit of choice and then die in a comedic way. When she needs saving. She's a tough cookie, which will find ways to get out of trouble (or into it). -Yes, the picture shows Spiko in her true glory. Before a lot of other stuff happened to her. And yes, Spiko is a weird Name for a cat. I'm weird. -Thoughts of Spiko are in Cursive = Why is that flower blue? -Descriptions and passive observational stuff that is coming from 3rd person view is in normal = There stood a blue flower, as Spiko shifted her wary gaze. -Distinct sounds are in bold = Swish (goes the cat paw on that blue flower!) -Talking is as always in "Hey, stop that!" -System stuff will be in tables = [Stat gain Stuff and so on] -There will be light GameLit stuff. I won't overdo it and if i do anything GameLit, it will have a reason and explanation. Do excuse the table formatting. I'm not great with word processor programs. -I'm crazy. Updates: Saturdays + whenever I feel like it (atm about 2~4 chapters a weekend + maybe weekdays. I guess?).
