The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

He knew that Lenn was forcibly refining his magic in a strange way, reversing his own destiny to return to his best state in order to fight the Chaos God in the final battle!

But the result of doing so is that, perhaps in half an hour, or perhaps only a few minutes, Lenn's body and soul will turn to ashes and never exist again.

“My old friend… In the end, it’s always the two of us fighting side by side.”

Dekan's voice was calm, devoid of joy or sorrow, only filled with a sense of nostalgia and reflection.

Upon hearing Dekan's words, Lenn pondered for a moment, though he didn't know why Dolois would say "every time."

This should have been his first time fighting alongside Delois and facing the enemy head-on.

But since Delois said so, Lenn wouldn't question it.

For what has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again!

Even in the next cycle of reincarnation, under the guidance of the goddess Tike, they will meet again and become partners once more!

"This time, we will not give you any chance to escape. The sins that could not be settled 24 years ago will be settled here and now!"

Lenn's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like a majestic bell from a temple, causing the entire illusory space to tremble.

Sinna herself was also taken aback.

If someone else were to say something like "let go".

Scissina would definitely think he was crazy, or that he should just ignore him and not bother with the stupid arrogance of a lower race!

But this one, Lunn, whom she had to treat with utmost care back then, has returned to his peak once again!

They're even several points stronger than they were back then!

This is what Lenn should have possessed in different eras: peak physical abilities, peak magical accumulation, and peak fighting spirit.

This is also the strongest state that Lenn can reach only once in his life!

Lenn's previously cloudy eyes had become incredibly bright.

In the end, the decaying figure disappeared, replaced by a vibrant young body.

That was truly a divine and majestic figure, transcending the world.

The Holy Kingdom's hero, Lunn, who was once full of vigor on the battlefield!

"Old friend, let's go together."

Dekan smiled, already prepared to push the battle to its final stage.

Next, they don't need to think about anything else; they just need to use all their strength to unleash the opponent's [Chaos Release]!

As for why Dekan called Len Crantes an old friend.

The answer is simple.

Because when Lenn was young, he looked exactly like Chloeux!

******

Author's Note:

Xi tried her best and even went through the night to maintain a low sleep schedule, but still failed to reach the 10,000-word mark. However, she will continue to work hard until the end!

I'm a little worried that when I wake up tomorrow morning, I'll see many people asking in the comments why Lenn is Chloix, so I'll explain in advance. Actually, there were many subtle foreshadowing elements. First, both Chloix and Lenn are once-in-a-millennium magical geniuses, possessing "monster-like magical power" and "exquisitely refined magical manipulation techniques." Second, their personalities are very similar—gentle and kind. As for Lenn's initial 100% trust in Chloix in the fifth Shadow World, it also hints at the inseparable relationship between Chloix and Lenn. Only towards oneself would one unconditionally reach 100% absolute trust from the start. Of course, since a seventh-tier Chloix cannot replace Lenn's powerful role at the ninth tier, and Chloix's unconditional trust in Dekan doesn't align with Lenn's still somewhat reserved trust in Dekan at that time, Chloix's role in that Shadow World was arranged as a steward who could only assist Dekan to a certain extent in the lord's mansion. In that actual cinematic world, Chloeux repeatedly violated Len's principles, secretly helping Dekan. This signifies that Len was beginning to turn a blind eye to Doloice's actions in real history, and that he "wanted to believe in Doloice." Additionally, both Chloeux and Len have brown hair, although the chapter gap is so large that it might go unnoticed.

375 The End of the Journey to the Holy Kingdom of Dekan

As Dekan finished speaking, the battle between the fully-powered Lunn and the Chaos Goddess Sisina was about to erupt.

Forced into Lenn's illusory space, Sissina finally became certain that the other party was not only going all in, but also had no intention of giving her any chance to retreat.

Even though she has not yet revealed her trump card, the terrifying obsession emanating from these humans and demons makes her feel uneasy.

They seemed determined to settle the score with the enemy here, regardless of the outcome of today's battle.

Even if they are facing gods who have been completely freed from their constraints!

Without further exchange, the two beings who stood at the pinnacle of the ninth rank began to fight!

……

At this moment, even though it seemed like there was another world between them, the Holy City, which was connected to the illusory barrier, was already swirling with dark clouds, constantly pressing down with the lightning, as if it could fall down at any moment.

The closer they got to the palace, the heavier the air became, making it hard for Ludwig, who was aware of the upheaval in the palace and was rushing over, to breathe.

She realized that Len had used a void barrier to imprison the powerful enemy in order to protect the Holy City, and she also guessed that this terrifying collision was Len's desperate battle where he burned his life force.

The honorary duke, who had been in prison with her, collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.

There were too many things she didn't understand, and she didn't even know whether she should approach the palace at this moment.

"Damn it...! If only my reconnaissance skills were even stronger..."

Ludwig gritted his teeth and blamed himself.

If she had the ability to conduct fully specialized reconnaissance, no matter how strong the opponent was, she could find them before they even arrived in the Holy Capital!

However, the magical system she had built for herself over the decades had no chance of changing.

Even now, she was still pondering the words the honorary duke had told her.

What is the real enemy they are facing?

Just how many more of these monsters are there that can drive Lenn to the brink of despair?!

"My lady goddess..."

"If I had another chance, please guide me to become an astrologer... I will never be an illusionist, whether in war or peace."

Ludwig frowned and muttered to himself resolutely.

……

The original coordinates were located within an illusory barrier atop the ruins of the royal palace.

Lenn and Sissina's attacks seemed casual, merely a contest of magic power using what appeared to be the simplest moves.

The battle, which is infinitely close to that of God, has long since returned to its original simplicity, reducing complexity to simplicity.

When Lunn's ninth-tier spell collided with the power surging forth from the Holy Grail of Sisina, an eerie silence descended!

There was no explosion, no booming sound of collision; it was as if two invisible beams of light collided.

The result was a strong distortion in the air.

A ripple appeared at the point of intersection, and then the ripples became increasingly violent under the impact of the two sides!

And this moment.

Lenn and Sisina froze in place like statues, as if locked in a struggle. This was no longer a simple clash of magic or power, but a replica of the chaotic battle of gods depicted in the temple murals! Order and chaos, fantasy and reality were all intertwined at this moment, as they drove their entire bodies, spirits, souls, and souls to collide and twist their respective rules together!

Finally, at this crucial moment, Dekan also used a forced-lock pain attack to interfere with Sissina for Lenn!

Just like a balanced scale, it will tilt with the slightest touch!

It was as if time and space had been strangely distorted, and sound and vision had become completely distorted.

After this scene had been playing for a long time, a "buzzing" sound finally came.

Suddenly, a wave of energy, seemingly caused by excessive compression, burst forth, unleashing cocoons of electricity that danced wildly like serpents of light! These then transformed into cracks that continued to extend!

The sound was severely delayed, and Lunn immediately retreated to cast layers of protective spells on Dekan.

Next, the cracks in the illusion seemed unable to withstand the energy that was approaching the tenth level, and they burst open!

A silent ripple spread outwards, then the crack suddenly shrank several times over, before violently expanding again... and finally...

Boom!! A deafening explosion.

Everything vanished into nothingness in the intense, dazzling light.

Finally, when the internal space of the illusory barrier stabilized again.

The spot where the crack exploded just now seemed to have a black hole that could not be repaired.

Meanwhile, fragments that shouldn't exist within the illusory barrier silently floated up, suggesting that some of the barrier's magic had become fragmented.

After the fragments dispersed.

"Delois, are you alright?"

Lenn seemed to be injured, but before he could even see Dekan clearly, he immediately cast a healing spell on him.

He had previously provided Dekan with several times more protection than he had provided for himself.

"Can't die."

Dekan wiped the blood from his face, his eyes fixed coldly on Sisina's direction.

If it weren't for Lenn's protection, he probably wouldn't have enough lives left to survive.

Looking at his own blood, Dekan couldn't help but recall his past battles. What his comrades always thought was the most futuristic thing about him was that after a battle, he would not be injured by the enemy's attacks, his clothes would not get dirty, and he would not even sweat.

Unexpectedly, he has finally gotten injured.

Even at his peak, when he was maintaining the illusory barrier and distracted by protecting Dekan, Lenn still couldn't overpower Sissina.

However, Lenn is not fighting alone!

He was carrying the strongest crutch in the world!

"Damn it, damn the Demon King..."

In the distance, Sisina stood up in a disheveled state.

The confrontation with Lunn was like walking a tightrope, but at the most dangerous moment, he was pushed hard by the Demon King's undefendable and unstoppable attack.

Even though she withstood most of the damage, the consumption of using the [Spirit Grail] to this extent caused her own strength to begin to decline!

She knew that she could not easily use her magic to deal with the current demon king, Delois!

Therefore, she relied on the fact that the [Spirit Grail] did not require mana to fight against Lenn from beginning to end.

But if this continues, she will soon become weaker than Lenn, and then she will have to start consuming her own magic power, and then be strangled by both Lenn and Dekan!

However, during this brief respite, she weighed the pros and cons of various countermeasures.

"Even if you run away today, you are not a threat."
