The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

"..."

After descending some distance in the pitch-black underground, the elevator stopped with a loud bang.

Pace turned around and found himself facing a long and narrow stone corridor. As he turned around, the torches on both sides of the corridor lit up one by one and stopped in front of a door.

"call--"

A slightly dry and hot wind blew, and the temperature in the stone corridor was not cold at all, but even a little hot.

Pace walked through the stone corridor and came to a door: on the door was a snow-carved head of the Monarch family, which looked solemn and sacred.

Here are some things left by my father...

Carl Monarch, the [King] who suddenly abdicated from Snow Peak, his secret may be hidden here.

What will it be like? A place filled with gold and silver? Or a cold and heartless prison?

"..."

After a brief silence, Pace stretched out his hands and pushed open the stone door.

"Rumble..."

When the interior of the room appeared in front of Pace, his eyes narrowed slightly——

——What appeared before me was a study.

A study built of dark red wood appeared in front of Pace. There was no gold or silver treasure here, but it was decorated with surrounding bookshelves.

There were a few half-opened books scattered on the desk in the middle of the room. If the fireplace had not been extinguished, one would even think that the owner of the study was just tired of reading and was taking a rest.

Extra) "Until the top of the snowy peak" (Part 14)

Pace slowly walked into Carl Monarch's bunker, and for a moment, his father's face seemed to flash before his eyes.

The meticulous middle-aged man was always strict and kind to Pace. When he was young, Pace liked to sit on his father's knees and listen to him tell the ancient stories that had been passed down on Wanren Mountain since the time of the ancestors by the firelight of the fireplace.

It has been more than ten years since that fireplace went out.

"..."

Pace walked slowly to the fireplace in the study, and with the help of his silver hand, he simply lit the remaining firewood.

The atmosphere in the study suddenly became warmer, and for some reason, Pace felt his eyes getting hot.

He slowly walked to the desk, pulled out a chair, sat down, grabbed the half-opened notebook, and turned to the first page.

Then, Carl Monarch's handwriting came into view:

"...Lianna likes dancing very much recently. I found the best teacher for her in Wanren Mountain. The little girl was so happy that she kissed my cheek..."

"...Vance has been a bit naughty lately. He fell off a cedar a few days ago. He didn't catch the squirrel, but his butt hurt for a few days..."

"...Pace has grown into a man. I gave him the key to the bunker. Will he find this place? What will he think when he knows what his father really looks like?"

Seeing his own name, Pace turned the pages wordlessly and came to the next page:

"...I finally made a decision to seal [Essence of the Gods] and [Svarog] together in the bunker. There is no need for flames to burn among the mountain folks anymore, and the leader of Thebite should not be a half-human, half-god monster, absolutely not..."

"...[God Essence] is a substance that Ivar Sekepas obtained from the Hafurgard tribe during his journey to the other side. He gave the Essence to Mikhail, and Mikhail used it as the basis for negotiation and made a request to me..."

"...Either...I will abdicate the throne of Snow Peak and hand over the leadership of Thebit to him, or he will inject all of his [God Essence] and fight me to the death..."

"...I am not afraid of him. Svarog is more than capable of killing him, monster or not. But this battle will be disastrous, and I don't want to see any more fighting between mountain folk..."

"...The Academy War has ended, and the Federation has gained dominance over the world. If we fight again at this time, the mountain people may become the second victim after the Kingdom of Grau Yad..."

"...Since he wants to do it, let him do it, but I must keep the [God Essence]..."

"...Thebite must be led by mountain men, not monsters..."

"..."

Seeing this, Pace was a little shocked by the huge amount of information, so much so that his mouth opened slightly.

[Essence of the Gods] and [Svarog]? What are these?

Judging from the description... [God Essence] seems to be the solid power of Hafgard? As long as it is injected, it can gain powerful power?

I heard from Evans that something similar was also taken away from Perlis after the [Competition]...

It was precisely because Mikhail possessed this substance that Dad was afraid of causing too much damage to the mountain people in the event of a full-scale war that he finally chose to compromise... and resolved the dispute peacefully...

He did not hand over all power, but made the best choice he thought in that position...

But... he is dead... died under the purge of the Iron Lord's regime.

"..."

Pace turned the page again, and what came into view were the last words left by his father:

"...Pace Monarch, if you have found this place as I expected and read this line, please consider the consequences of all your choices..."

"...I don't know what your situation is, nor do I know what you are going to do, but I believe you can make the most appropriate judgment..."

"...Because you are my son, and your bloodline inherits the purest qualities of the mountain people..."

"...Roar with the Blizzard, son, and Dad loves you..."

"..."

......

Loton-Thebite Alliance

"The convoy was intercepted? He was the only one there?"

"Yes, it is..."

On a rainy night, on the streets of Lorton, Aloi looked at the mess in front of him in silence, not knowing what to say for a moment.

In front of him, more than a dozen trucks were overturned by some huge force and fell all the way, and all the cargo on the trucks disappeared.

Countless investigators were cleaning up the battlefield that had been cleared by Evans Monarch, while scolding the citizens who were peeking around, telling them not to peek.

"What's being transported here?"

Aloi asked the investigator beside him, who looked evasive and hesitant:

"Lord Venia said... not to tell anyone..."

"Do you really know who you are talking to?" Aloi hissed, "I am Aloi Aziz. Do you know what the last name Aziz means?"

"I...I know..."

"Then tell me, tell me what this cargo is."

"...It's... the arms shipped from the Federation..."

When the investigator said this, Aloi's red-gold eyes froze for a moment, and then an elegant smile immediately appeared on his face.

He raised his head, covered his face with his hands, and laughed:

“Hahahaha…this is so funny…”

Yes, it's so funny. Venia actually colluded with the federals in secret and transported military resources into Thebes, trying to get rid of Wilkin's control.

What's even funnier is that this batch of resources happened to be intercepted by Evans Monarch.

The funniest thing is that Evans Monarch is a fucking scientist, and a mad scientist at that.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Aloi laughed for a long time, then lowered his head and looked at the investigator who was standing beside him with a fearful look on his face.

He had only been away from Wanren Mountain for two days, and Venia had already begun planning to wipe out the Wilkins' solid base in Thebeth?

Does that brat really think he is the Iron Lord?

"Ah..."

Prince Aloi suppressed his inner anger. He decided to speed up the search for Evans, and then return to Wanren Mountain to confront Venia in person.

He had to let that young boy know who allowed him to sit safely on the Iron Throne.

Once Aloi obtains the [God Essence] in Carl Monak's bunker, he will completely eliminate Venia and make him a puppet regime.

By that time, Wilkin's power will be unprecedentedly strong, even able to compete with the Federation.

The only obstacle at the moment is Evans Monarch's small [Blade of Babel].

Even if he got the arms that Venia had brought from the Federation, so what? Could it turn the world upside down?

Thinking of this, Aloi felt much better. He turned to the investigator beside him and asked with a smile:

"So, what kind of munitions are being carried on the vehicle?"

"ACD-982 missile launcher," the search officer said weakly, "and...several test missile heads..."

Aloi's smile disappeared.

......

Extra) "Until the top of the snowy peak" (Part 15)

At the desk by the fireplace, Pace closed his father's notebook and slowly stood up.

The warm stovelight cast a gloomy shadow on the young man's face. He stared at the table quietly, with firelight flickering in his dark eyes.

"..."

After a long time, Pace took out the [Divine Blood Compass] again and confirmed the direction of the pointer - another stone door at the end of the room.

After my father abdicated from Xuefeng, he hid his two most powerful weapons in there.

What kind of creature could make this monarch who once unified Wanren Mountain so taboo?

Pace had to see it for himself.

"..."

Walking slowly to the stone door, Pace felt the temperature around him rising.

The dry, scorching wind flowed out from the cracks in the stone door, mixed with a hint of sulfur, causing him to frown slightly.

He placed his hands on the stone door, took a deep breath, and pushed hard—

"Bang!"

The moment the door opened, a scorching storm accompanied by strong light swept in, and Pace subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it.

The books on the bookshelf were blown off, and the atmosphere in the entire bunker suddenly became hot due to the opening of this door, as if one had arrived in another world outside the Wanren Mountain.

When Pace's eyes adjusted to the bright light, he looked around and his black eyes slightly opened -

——Magma, magma with a red glow.

Inside the huge cave, a vast lake of magma spread out, seemingly a world away from the small study room before. Streams of red-glowing magma fell vertically from the top of the cave into the lake.

And in the center of the lava lake, Pace saw a throne: a throne engraved with snow-carved wings and glowing with black iron light.

That is the throne of the Monarch family, the Fire Throne.

Right in front of the throne, a giant sword engraved with intricate carvings stood quietly on the base. Between the lines on the sword, flickering flames seemed to be absorbing the temperature of the magma.

In an instant, Pace knew what the "Svarog" in his father's notebook was.

It was a huge sword, a huge sword of fire.

“…”

Pace walked into the magma chamber in the bunker. He crossed the road on the lava river and slowly walked to the giant sword.

This is the greatsword of Carl Monarch, and it is also the unknown side of it that he sealed himself.

Before he became a kind father, he was first a [King], the [King] who unified Wanren Mountain.

When he was young, Pace could not imagine that his kind father could achieve such a feat as "unifying Wanren Mountain". The middle-aged man was always very kind and did not look like someone who could fight.

And now, as he saw the fire between the steel grain of Svarog, he understood everything.

For the sake of the mountain people and his family, my father suppressed his most violent and barbaric side.

And here he came, facing his father and the most brutal nature of the Monarch family.
