Chapter 242: 242

It was an opportunity to attack.

“Hertana is also seriously injured, and many High-Class Demons have died. Now, I think we can capture Alin without much damage.”

“Hertana?”

Amiletta asked.

‘If she was in critical condition, Kyrad must have come too.’

Kyrad was a typical father who was very cruel to the Demons under his command but was a fool in front of his daughter.

If she was in critical condition, he would be with her.

“I will go with you.”

Amiletta stood up.

“Mother as well?”

“Yeah, maybe Kyrad is there.”

What if Kyrad came as expected? He will do great damage.

It is better to go together to prevent that damage.

“Let’s go.”

Amiletta told Cranosson after she grabbed her weapon and left the room.

_________

“Amiletta guys?”

Kyrad frowned when he heard the report while watching over Hertana.

“Yeah, they are right in front of us now. I think they will be here in 20 minutes.”

“Sigh”

At Eshtar’s report, Kirad let out a deep sigh.

“It’s a surprise attack.”

It was late at night.

“The wicked bastard.”

Kyrad thought of Amiletta. It was a war that had already been decided. They did not even have to conduct a surprise attack.

“They will try to reduce the damage as much as possible.”

A surprise attack at night meant that the faction’s damage would be reduced as much as possible.

“I can’t let them do that.”

Kyrad smiled with anger in his eyes. It was a murderous smile.

“Maros.”

He then called for Maros, who was standing behind Eshtar.

“Yes, Kyrad-sama!”

Maros quickly stepped forward and answered the call.

*Swish*

Kyrad said, pulling a green stone out of his arms.

“Take Hertana to the capital. And give this to Ashul.”

“All right.”

After hearing Maros’ answer, Kyrad stood up.

“Dismissed.”

Eshtar, who had a surprised expression on his face, asked.

“Kyrad sama.”

“What?”

“The stone…”

Eshtar frowned. A green stone that Kyrad gave to Maros.

It is not a special stone. It was just a green stone.

Nevertheless, Eshtar was surprised to see the stone because of the meaning contained in the stone.

“I want Hertana to survive.”

At Eshtar’s words, Kyrad opened his mouth with a bitter expression.

__________

“It is said that everyone from Area A to Area H is ready.”

Amiletta nodded her head at Emming’s report. She then asked Emming.

“What about Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung?”

“I don’t know where they went, but they don’t seem to be in the castle.”

Amiletta stood up at Eming’s answer. Then came out of the tent and looked ahead. There was Alin’s wall.

“I never thought it would end like this…”

Amiletta murmured as she looked at it.

She thought that as it always had been, there would be a cease-fire at the right time after continuing a war of attrition.

It felt strange that the war ended so quickly and without much damage.

‘But where are they?’

Amiletta was looking at Alin searching for Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung.

They went on a reconnaissance of Alin. But now that she arrived in Alin, she couldn’t see them.

‘They’re not inside.’

Soo Hyuk has her mark. Had he been in Alin she would have felt it.

It was then that she heard a loud shot.

– Amilettaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It was a familiar voice. Amiletta looked at where the voice was coming from.

A small dot appeared in front of the castle gate.

Amiletta strengthened her sight through magi and was able to find out the identity of the small dot.

‘Kyrad!’

It was Kyrad.

‘You were here too.’

As expected, Kyrad was in Alin.

‘Is that what happened?’

Amiletta recalled Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung again. Kyrad is in Alin. What if they were attacked by him?

‘No, it can’t be.’

She shook her head. Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung were strong.

Even Amiletta would have a hard time doing what they did. And they were killed by Kyrad?

It doesn’t make sense, Amiletta then headed towards the wall. She was followed by her Demons, but Amiletta signaled them not to interfere. Soon she stopped talking when she was close enough to talk with Kyrad.

“Kyrad.”

She called.

“You’re a coward for bringing in the humans.”

Kyrad said through clenched teeth.

“A coward?”

Amiletta grinned at Kyrad’s words and said.

“Says the one who secretly started the war.”

Kyrad was secretly preparing for war. What if Soo Hyuk hadn’t brought that information?

It would have been a catastrophe.

“Huh.”

At Amiletta’s words, Kyrad snorted and said.

“Do you want to take off the pretenses in this situation? Weren’t you the one who ordered humans to attack our villages first?”

“?”

Amiletta tilted her head. Attacking the village of the Kyrad faction first?

‘Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung?’

It was clear that the human beings Kyrad spoke of were related to them.

However, Amiletta knew that the only places Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung attacked were villages and outposts built by the spies.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I don’t think that is very important in the current situation?”

Amiletta said.

The war has already begun. And the end is near. The conversation they’re having now has been of no use at all.

“Haha, that’s right.”

Kyrad laughed and nodded his head. And the moment he stopped nodding. He sped up and flew to Amiletta.

Amiletta flew to Kyrad as well, wielding her sword.

Kyrad stopped Amiletta’s sword with his left hand wrapped in magi and stretched out his right hand full of magi as well.

Amiletta moved to her side and quickly dodged the attack. Then she swung her sword once more.

Thus, Amiletta and Kyrad quickly exchanged attacks and continued the battle.

*Bam*

At one point, Kyrad’s magi flew towards the ground.

*Bang*

Magi that touched the ground exploded and a cloud of dust rose. Kyrad disappeared in the cloud of dust.

Amiletta quickly widened the distance when she missed him. She was vigilant in case any attack came from the cloud. But Kyrad’s attacks did not come anymore.

Soon the cloud of dust settled.

Like Amiletta, Kyrad kept his distance.

“Now let’s get started.”

Soon after he said that several Kyrad Demons appeared along the castle wall.

His battle with Amiletta was a greeting. Now it was time for the real battle to begin.

“I don’t know if I can last a few days.”

Kyrad knew very well that he could not win. There is nothing he can do though.

‘I have to buy time.’

By now, Hertana should have reached the capital. He had to provide her with enough time.

“I can’t wait to see how long you will last.”

Amiletta responded to his words and returned to the base.

Sometime later, at Amiletta headquarters. Demons of the Amiletta faction began to pour from all the bases. Their destination was Alin.

________

“What?”

Soo Hyuk asked in a bewildered voice.

“Are there really other people besides us? In the 10th Demon World? Users?”

Soo Hyuk asked questions one after the other.

-Yea.

Soon Yeon Jeung answered.

-They didn’t write down their area of activity, but they seem to be working in the Kyrad area.

Soo Hyuk thought about it.

‘Well, if we were active in the Amileta area, we wouldn’t have known about them.’

It is Yeon Jeung with Soo Hyuk, who already had a close relationship with Amiletta and Cranosson.

If other humans were active in the Amiletta area, Amiletta or Cranosson would have known and told them.

“But who is The Hunting King?”

Soo Hyuk asked after thinking about it.

-Well, nothing is known, so I do not know. The only thing is that he is the Guild Master of the Emperor’s Guild.

“The Guild Master of the Emperor’s Guild? The third son of the Emperor group?”

-Uh, that’s the only known thing. Oh, and he bought the armor.

“Alcandium?”

-Yea. Alcandium Armor Leggings. The 10th Demon World article was posted, and it came up shortly after. He already unlocked the first option.

“Oh, yes? What is it?”

Soo Hyuk asked curiously.

-Extra health

“Wow.”

So, Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung kept talking about a lot of stuff.

“See you in five minutes.”

_ Yea.

After a while, Soo Hyuk ended the call with Yeon Jeung then put down his cell phone and headed for his capsule.

He said he’ll see you in 5 minutes, but Soo Hyuk went in advance and thought about tidying up the surroundings.

Soon, Soo Hyuk connected to Pangea.

[You have completed the Quest ‘Reconnaissance of Alin’.]

[The contribution also increases by 1 million.]

[The reconnaissance rate is high.]

[Acquire additional rewards according to the scouting rate.]

[Contribution will also increase by 3 million.]

[Quest ‘Alin’ has been changed to ‘Battle of Alin’.]

Simultaneously with the connection, numerous messages appeared.

“.?”

Soo Hyuk’s face was full of doubt when he saw the messages.

‘Quest completed? Changed?’

Why was the quest ‘Alin Reconnaissance’ completed when he was offline?

In addition, the quest ‘Alin’ has been changed to ‘Battle of Alin’. Why the hell did it change?

Soo Hyuk first opened the quest window. And he confirmed the quest ‘Battle of Alin’.

{Battle of Alin}

A battle began between the Amiletta faction, who wanted to capture Alin, and the Kyrad faction, who wanted to protect it.

Drive out all the Demons of the Kyrad faction in Alin!

Quest Reward: Fall of Alin

“Ok”

Even after checking the quest, Soo Hyuk’s confusion was not resolved.

‘Battle? From Alin?’

The curiosity only increased.

‘Did it start in the morning?’

Until midnight, the quest had not changed. It seemed to have happened in the morning.

‘Why’

Soo Hyuk frowned.

‘Have they already entered the interior?’

This is a quest to drive out Demons. Could it be that the Demons of the Amiletta faction entered Alin? Are they already fighting in the city?

‘My contribution!’

He hasn’t reached 100 million in contributions yet.

Through the quest ‘Alin Reconnaissance’, the contribution increased by 4 million in total, but 7 million more were still needed.

It was then.

“What? Why are humans here?”

Soo Hyuk turned his head to see where this voice had come from.

Demons were seen, they belonged to the Kyrad faction.

‘Aren’t they here yet?’

He did’t know whether the Demons of the Amiletta entered Alin or not.

But one thing is certain, they did not enter the area Soo Hyuk is in. It is proven by the Kyrad Demons being in here.

“Flame.”

Soo Hyuk started casting spells.
