People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

So much so that Platon Shanks once again joined the battlefield to help the human side eliminate the star beasts.

The dazzling beams of light swept across the earth, leaving behind patches of scorched earth.

"Damn it, it never ends!"

Ashmi waved the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood and barely managed to kill an Esti, but looking at the empty space in the sky, her face was full of sorrow.

The replica teardrop was originally created to inherit the existence of King Elden.

But now, even she felt exhausted.

Since she arrived at the battlefield, she has no idea how many star beasts she has killed, but she can never see the end, let alone the hope of victory.

"Roar--!"

At this moment, an Esti came from nowhere and fell from the sky, with its huge claws covering her head.

However, before it landed, a blazing sword light flashed by.

Esti's arm was cut off and blood spilled from the sky.

Esti, feeling pain, looked at the attacker and immediately used gravity magic to flash away into the distance.

"Ms. Ashmi, please don't be distracted. The battle is not over yet."

The girl who instantly cut off Esti's arm fell from the sky and landed right in front of Ashmi.

Ariana was so elegant. Even though the sword in her hand had become tattered and her body was covered in the blood of star beasts, it still couldn't conceal her unique aristocratic temperament.

"Ah... I know, I know~"

Ashimi responded with an annoyed look on his face.

Her long silver hair was messed up by her, and she was almost driven crazy by these star beasts.

However, the next second, she suddenly noticed something strange.

"—?!"

A chill ran down my spine.

What special thing happened?

it's not true.

There was just a cold chill on her back, not something as simple as cold air, but an unpleasant feeling as if the destined death was caressing her back.

However, it was not only Ashmi who felt this chill, but also Fia, Aliana, Fia, Selene, Torina, Marlenya, Platon Shanks and even Lenarra, almost affecting everyone on the battlefield.

At that moment, the battlefield calmed down with this sudden change.

The star beasts, who were caught in a desperate situation by the lava and pyroxene magic, stopped attacking and even dispersed the gravity magic that had just been condensed. They knelt on the ground and headed towards the location of the royal capital.

"...What was that just now?"

Se Lian looked in the direction where the star beasts were kneeling, but there was nothing there except a burning golden tree.

Nothing happened either.

But the chill she felt in that instant deprived her of all her ability to think and act.

Neither felt hostile nor overpowered.

Incomprehensible.

It was an unknown feeling that brought people a sense of fear, just like a beast at the top of the food chain taking a quick glimpse of a weak creature.

And this feeling made her feel very familiar, just like the unique emptiness and fear she felt when she first peeked into the origin.

“What on earth… just happened…?!”

When he noticed it, Se Lian discovered that his palms were already soaked with sweat, and crystal beads of sweat were slowly sliding down his neck.

Although she was not good at fighting, she had experienced many storms, big and small, but now she felt an indescribable threat.

This feeling is chilling.

The breath emanated from the depths of the Royal City of Rodel, at the foot of the burning golden tree.

The unseen weight and presence that dominates the Yatan Plateau is—

"...The Supreme Will has finally been willing to show up."

Reinhardt's murmur revealed the answer.

At this moment, he was looking up at the burning treetops... no, to be exact, the sky behind him.

Sky?!

Torina, who was closest to Reinhardt, was the first to notice Reinhardt's abnormality. Then one person told ten people, and ten people told a hundred people, and everyone looked up at the sky above their heads.

But everyone was also stunned.

The knights dropped their swords and shields to the ground casually, staring blankly at the sky.

what is that?

No one can understand.

Among all the people present, only the strong ones could understand what kind of existence appeared in the sky at this moment.

I saw that the empty space that originally covered the sky had disappeared, replaced by rolling clouds and flashing thunder.

The dark clouds pressed the sky very low, making it a little breathless.

The culprit behind all this was right under the dark clouds, with no intention of hiding himself.

It was a human being, a man to be exact.

The golden pupils that seemed to illuminate the night sky like an evil star swept over everything below indifferently. There was no emotion in the man's eyes at all.

There was no sense of biological function from the man's body. He was like a sculpture, yet so real. Moreover, there was a highly mysterious and sublime feeling about the man, forcing all the creatures below to want to bow down to him in worship.

Although he was only about three meters tall, his indescribable sense of oppression surpassed that of an ancient dragon.

Even Platon Shanks couldn't match it.

However, the most crucial thing is that in the flash of lightning just now, the people below saw the man's face clearly.

"Goo-"

The moment they saw the man's face, Lenara, Lani, Latan, Torina, and Malenia felt as if their fate was strangled by the neck, and they couldn't utter a word even after opening their mouths for a long time.

Because that figure was too familiar to them.

Flowing red hair, a resolute face, and those golden eyes.

That dignity was so familiar to them that they couldn't be more familiar.

"...How is this possible?" Se Lian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The man who appeared in the sky was none other than Radagon, the former partner of Lenarra, the father of Lani, Latan, Michaela, and Marlenya, Marica's second husband, and the second-generation King of Elden.

"No, that's not Radagon." Reinhardt shook his head and said quietly, "Although it looks similar, it's just an empty shell. The inside is completely different."

The power brought by the Sun Law allowed him to see the true nature of Radagon.

That man is now just a driven shell, filled with an incomprehensible existence.

Moreover, the way of existence is different from possession. If I have to say it, it is a bit like the possession in the online novels I read in my previous life.

"Reinhardt... are you telling the truth? Has my father, Radagon, really been replaced?"

The dire situation caused Torina to change even the way she addressed him. She looked at Radagang in the sky again, and an indescribable emotion appeared in her eyes.

Do you hate? Dislike? Miss? Or something else?

Anyway, it's very complicated, as if countless emotions are intertwined.

She still has deep feelings for her father, Radagan.

However, Reinhardt couldn't answer her question, or perhaps he simply didn't have the time.

Because Radagan started moving again.

Rumbling--

Thunder roared from the sky again.

The being that was driving Radagon's body slowly fell from the sky under everyone's gaze.

At this moment, the earth suddenly shook.

Rumble-

The earth let out a mournful cry, but this vibration was completely different from before. It was not the vibration caused by the meteorite hitting the ground, but came from beneath the surface.

Is this a real earthquake?

Obviously not.

Although it came from underground, it was not an earthquake, because a huge snake head broke through the surface of the earth, and the huge snake body was moving across the ground like a long dragon.

"Be careful!!!"

The human army suddenly became chaotic.

The people who recovered from the shock of the sky helped their comrades to escape from the range of the giant python.

Those who were too late would be swallowed up by the bloody mouth along with the star beasts blocking the way, or crushed into meat paste by the huge body.

Finally, this giant world-devouring python that looked like Jörmungandr lay on the city wall, stood up with its huge body, raised its snake head and stared at the man above the sky, its scarlet eyes filled with human cruelty and hatred.

And above the giant python's head, a figure also appeared, wearing silver beast-gathering armor, holding a world-devouring scepter made in the image of a giant snake, standing facing the wind.

The short black hair tied into a ponytail swayed in the wind, and the dark pupils were full of vicissitudes of life.

"...Bernard?!"

Reinhardt recognized the man with a weathered face at a glance.

So, could this big snake under him be Tanis?

Did she succeed?

As if hearing his call, Bernal turned his head and looked down at him. He gave him a smile and then turned his head again. With a gloomy face, he looked at the man slowly falling from the sky, raising the World-Devouring Scepter in his hand.

"Tanis, our chance has come!"

"hiss--"

The giant python Tanis under him received Bernal's call, spit out its scarlet tongue, hissed, and suddenly rushed towards the sky.

The giant python attacked very quickly, and the distance between it and Radagon was getting closer and closer.

At the same time, he opened his bloody mouth again, which seemed to be able to swallow the sky and the sun, and a thick shadow covered Radagon's entire body.

Just then, Radagan made a move.

He slowly turned his head, his emotionless golden eyes staring indifferently at the giant python's mouth, and the hot air he exhaled blew his flaming red hair.

Then....

Boom——

The thunder flashed as if called, wrapping around Radagon.

The sky lit up by the flames of war suddenly became darker than before. The dark clouds covering the sky instantly dispersed, and the surging waves receded quickly like the tide, and as if evaporated, revealing the dry land.

All this was caused by a simple movement of Radagan, who was floating in the air, raising his hand.

At the same time, the giant python's huge body suddenly stopped, as if time had stopped, and its dragon-like body was frozen in mid-air.

A rocky grayish-white color appeared out of nowhere and began to spread over the giant snake.

In just a few seconds, the huge python's body, which was hundreds of meters long, turned gray and white, like an ancient dragon, but it slowly cracked under the gaze of everyone, and disappeared into ashes in the wind.

"Tannis!!!"

Bernard was furious, his eyes were bloodshot, and he watched helplessly as the ancient giant python gradually died, but he was powerless to do anything.

He couldn't help but think of the witch who sacrificed herself for him, who was exactly the same as now.

"Supreme Will..."

He raised his head and looked fiercely at the expressionless man in front of him, his teeth creaking and almost breaking.

"I will tear you to pieces!!!"
