Chapter 130
“This is impossible…”
Yuria wondered if she might be dreaming.
The sight before her was so unbelievable.
Hundreds of wyverns filled the skies—a truly overwhelming scene.
Each wyvern had a jet-black hide, all of them Black Wyverns.
It wasn’t just the wyverns in the sky.
Though the sight of the wyverns grabbed attention, the ground was swarming with countless monsters.
Orcs, trolls, goblins, werewolves, and more.
Unlike the disorganized hordes from a few days ago, these monsters were not chaotic or scattered.
They stood in orderly formations, like well-trained soldiers, grouped neatly by species.
It was clear at a glance that this was a completely different force from what had attacked just days prior.
From the moment the orderly monster horde arrived, Yuria had sensed it, and Arte Flora’s subsequent words confirmed her suspicions.
Just as expected.
The resurrection of the Nameless Demon.
No, it seemed they could no longer call him the “Nameless Demon.”
Arte had declared the demon’s name to be “Satan.”
Gulp—
Yuria swallowed dryly as she stared blankly at the overwhelming army of monsters.
If this force attacked right now, could they possibly hold them back?
Yuria believed it would be practically impossible.
These monsters weren’t like the disorganized mobs from before.
And just by their appearance, they seemed far stronger.
Craaack—
“The barrier is breaking…!”
As Yuria predicted, the new monsters accompanying Arte were incomparably stronger than ordinary monsters.
It began with the massive wyvern releasing an energy blast resembling a breath attack.
A relentless barrage of attacks rained down on the barrier.
Soon, the barrier was completely destroyed.
Utterly and completely.
“The deadline is three days.”
With Arte’s final words, Yuria tightly shut her eyes.
***
For decades, the Arkaria Continent hadn’t seen such upheaval and commotion.
The news from the northern continent had thrown the entire continent into chaos.
The resurrection of the Nameless Demon, who was said to have been sealed by Emperor Crescent long ago.
The resurrected demon, Satan, issued a warning to humanity to surrender.
To demonstrate his might, Satan’s forces had effortlessly shattered the massive coalition barrier.
“Sigh.”
“This is the first time I’ve seen the continent in such turmoil. The entire continent, no less.”
Addy glanced regretfully at the documents in her hands before tossing them onto the desk, as if there was no point in reading them.
After the sudden confrontation with Satan in the Northern Mountains, returning to the coalition camp had been pure chaos.
While Ryu Yeong and Elaine were away, the monster army had launched an assault.
Introducing themselves as Satan’s army, they had destroyed the coalition barrier and promptly retreated.
Satan’s official declaration of resurrection seemed to have no silver lining at all.
The only somewhat positive outcome was the unprecedented speed at which the coalition leaders reached a consensus.
Previously, there had been opposition to spreading the news due to fears of causing widespread panic, but those individuals had quickly changed their stance.
In no time, news of Satan’s resurrection spread across the entire continent.
The majority of humans naturally resolved to fight against Satan.
Some nations had already begun sending large armies to the northern regions.
Foremost among them was the Crescent Empire.
In the name of the First Emperor, who had once sealed the resurrected Nameless Demon, the empire made it their utmost priority to stop Satan’s return.
As the continent’s most powerful nation mobilized, other countries followed suit, though they were clearly trembling in fear.
“What should we do?”
“We’ll fight alongside them.”
“I’m always in favor of fighting.”
Though Addy’s question seemed directed at Ryu Yeong, it was Erica and Jacqueline who answered first.
After the incident, the students in the north had been sent home immediately.
Since Ryu Yeong was technically still a student, he had to return as well.
Upon his return, he gathered with the Black Shadow Corps at their hideout to discuss their next steps.
“Satan isn’t an easy opponent.”
The general direction had already been decided.
Naturally, they would fight against Satan.
The main topic of discussion was how the Black Shadow Corps would operate going forward.
Until now, the Black Shadow Corps had worked in secrecy due to their less-than-stellar reputation.
But now, the situation was the opposite.
While Satan’s resurrection had diminished the significance of their efforts, the public believed the Black Shadow Corps had been secretly working to prevent his return.
This meant they could now operate openly without facing significant restrictions.
“First, we need all the captains to gather.”
“That Philippe guy? Why hasn’t he shown up even after we sent the summons?”
Among the four captains of the Black Shadow Corps, Philippe, the only male and leader of the 3rd Squad, was notably absent.
“This is quite an important meeting, so we really need Philippe to be here.”
“And we’ll need him when the war begins too.”
“Shouldn’t we decide on a direction before he arrives? We’ve received separate requests from the Crescent Empire and the O’Neill Kingdom, asking us to join their forces as reinforcements.”
“O’Neill too?”
“Yes. It seems your recent achievements have softened their attitude toward us.”
“Well, still, us working under someone else’s army doesn’t feel right.”
Erica chimed in during the conversation between Addy and me.
I agreed with Erica’s sentiment.
Whether it was Crescent or O’Neill, there was no need for us to join another nation’s army as reinforcements.
Nor did I have any desire to do so.
“I’m with Erica on this. We don’t need to.”
“Understood. I’ll let them know we’re declining. So, should we proceed to the north independently?”
“That seems like the best option.”
Thud—
As the discussion continued, the meeting room door opened.
All eyes turned toward the open door.
“Sorry for being late. Whew.”
The late arrival was Yuria, looking visibly exhausted.
It was no wonder; she must have led the coalition meeting before coming to ours.
With people from various nations gathered in the coalition, managing their opinions must have been a grueling task.
“It’s fine. At least you made it.”
“Ugh, I’m so tired.”
Without hesitation, Yuria made her way to the sofa and collapsed onto it.
She looked completely drained—not from battle, but from meetings.
“Too many people really does tire you out.”
Yuria’s arrival brought a brief change of mood to the room.
“How’s the coalition holding up?”
“Chaotic, but not bad. At least everyone has agreed to resist Satan.”
“That’s a relief.”
“Alongside Crescent and O’Neill, the Church has also decided to send troops. And… where else was it? Anyway, they’ll all gather within the three-day deadline Satan mentioned.”
Yuria spoke with a somewhat relieved expression.
“Well, at least that’s something. Sigh. What a mess this all is.”
“Hm. In that case, we should join the northern forces as soon as possible.”
Addy, who had been quietly listening to Yuria, added her thoughts.
Everyone seemed to agree, nodding without dissent.
“Shall we leave together once Philippe arrives?”
“Okay.”
“Sounds good.”
Erica and Yuria agreed with my suggestion almost simultaneously.
Jacqueline, meanwhile, nodded indifferently, as if anything was fine with her.
“I should make thorough preparations myself.”
Having faced Satan once, I knew he wasn’t an easy opponent.
Not only did his movements suggest he understood my Spatial Movement ability, but he also had a technique that transformed parts of his body into smoke to neutralize physical attacks.
“But Spatial Cutting definitely works.”
It had been the only attack of mine that had any effect on him.
It was a difficult technique, but I resolved to train so I could use it more frequently and with minimized risks.
***
“It’s tomorrow.”
“Yes, understood!”
Arte responded with a nod to Satan’s words.
Though it deviated from the original plan, Arte didn’t voice a single complaint.
The humans had been given a three-day deadline to surrender.
But Satan, having changed his mind, declared they would descend into human territory tomorrow—just two days later.
“You’re not going to ask why?”
“If it is Satan’s will, I shall follow without question!”
Arte answered Satan’s question sincerely.
As someone who had once been a princess embroiled in politics, Arte knew that such abrupt changes were far from ideal.
Politically, it could erode trust among the people and affect future actions.
But Arte understood perfectly well—this wasn’t politics.
The three-day deadline was merely Satan’s final act of mercy toward humanity.
The outcome would be the same regardless.
The entire continent would soon fall under Satan’s rule.
If the result was inevitable, why should the process matter?
“Good. Make the preparations.”
“Yes!”
Arte replied energetically, satisfied with Satan’s tone.
The monsters were already on standby.
With Arte’s command, they could immediately form ranks and march toward humanity.
“Fufufu.”
Riding atop her massive wyvern, Arte imagined herself standing at the forefront of the battlefield.
Tomorrow, all of humanity would witness the grandeur of Satan firsthand.
