98 – I’ll give you the honorable end you’ve always wanted

A gigantic forest, Kanna, where countless trees grow.

This place, where countless trees grow, where even the exact number is unknown, has been a place where countless creatures have been living their lives in their own way, and has been a place where various kinds of natural resources such as wood, fruits, and herbs can be obtained, and for a long time, the continent has bestowed the grace of nature on the lives of

As such, the Khanna Forest, which is a treasure trove of nature and at the same time serves as a living and breathing solid fortress for the elves of the elven kingdom, has been a sanctuary designated by the gods for thousands of years, not only to elves but also to countless people on the continent. It has been accepted as an object of respect and grace.

But.

this moment right now.

In the minds of a group of soldiers who appeared deep in the forest, none of that fact existed.

“Is this Kanna Forest? I heard a lot of stories, but surprisingly nothing special.”

“No matter what you do, this place is still a forest. Isn’t it natural that there is nothing to see right now except for the trees and insects?”

The words of Cassandra, one of the 3 knights of the Empire, speaking in a low voice.

The adjutant next to him gave an appropriate answer as always,

Hearing this, Cassandra put to death her undesirable feelings for now, and immediately began to act.

“Well, that would be too. Anyway, then we will start the operation from now on.”

“Yes, General.”

As soon as Cassandra’s instructions were given, the soldiers immediately began to act.

this moment,

All of them had something like a black bottle in their hands. Inside was an oval sphere the size of a small quail egg.

At first glance, something that gives off an unusual feeling.

and,

Holding the same thing in her hand, Cassandra stared at it for a moment, lost in thought.

‘Achilles… I feel it every time, but this time I came up with a very dirty thing. As expected, in order to achieve our family’s long-cherished wish, we must first kill that man… ‘

at that time…

“!”

In an instant, a sharp sign passed through Cassandra’s mind.

In response, she jumped up from her seat and used the shield she was holding to create a huge barrier.

Right after that…

-Quaguaguagwang!!!!

Rays of light with a green glow that flew and crashed into her barrier.

Immediately after that, a cold smile began to form on Cassandra’s lips.

“Oh my, isn’t this a teacher? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”

“Cassandra… I felt a familiar presence, but after all, was it four years?”

A male elf wearing green armor appeared in front of her with a handful of elven soldiers.

A middle-aged person with a black eyepatch on one eye.

Sulla had Cassandra Incliment of the Falcon Empire in front of him…

no,

To be precise.

Looking at the young paladin who was once a proud disciple of Sulla, he began to show a cold expression.

“I really didn’t expect to see you again in a place like this. To be honest, I’d like to have a warm conversation between the priests and the priests, but I’m a bit busy right now, so I don’t think it’s possible.”

“noisy! I don’t have anything to talk about with you bitch, so get away! Don’t you dare think of doing anything suspicious in this sacred Kanna Forest!”

Contrary to Cassandra, who is not losing her composure, Sulla is showing a sharp edge.

In response, Cassandra gave a light smile and spoke to her old mentor.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t. Even if it seems like this, I have to move a little busily to give it to the will of His Majesty the former emperor.”

“! that… I hope that.”

Cassandra speaks while looking at the bottle in her hand.

Right after that, Sulla began to show a hardened expression at the black bottle in front of him.

“Your boy… Do you know what you are about to do?”

“Of course, sir. I am about to clear this pesky obstacle for the victory of the Empire.”

“You bastard!”

Sulla leaps from the tree and stands in front of Cassandra with a face full of rage.

Right after that, he held the sword that seemed to be made of green light in his hand and aimed it at Cassandra.

Even at a glance, it seemed as if he would kill Cassandra directly, regardless of any further dialogue or willingness to compromise.

Seeing this, Cassandra also pulled out her shield and sword, and began to cover them by discharging magical energy.

“It’s been quite a while, but your personality is still the same, Miss Sulla. what good Something that should have been normal at some point anyway. Let’s end this by cutting the head of the teacher.”

With those words, Cassandra charged towards the opponent in front of her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Sulla swung his sword of green light and slashed his teeth at her.

– Pakan!!

The weapons of the two clashing with a sharp sound.

Cassandra’s shield, which was surrounded by blue light, was not just a tool for defense, but also bounced off Sulla’s sword with the feeling of a blunt weapon.

Cassandra then swung the sword in her arm and tried to attack Sulla.

However, right after that.

Her attack bounced back as if it were blocked by an invisible shield in midair.

-visor!

Immediately after exchanging a sum of money with each other, the two men wielded weapons once again.

Rather than simply pressing

Sula attacks Cassandra with a brisk swordsmanship.

However, despite its heavy weight, his attack was blocked by Cassandra’s shield, which moved too fast, or the flow was cut off in the middle, resulting in the attack being neutralized.

On the other hand,

Cassandra’s attack breaks through Sulla’s gap every moment.

Each time her attack was blocked by an invisible wall and didn’t have much effect, but Cassandra wasn’t nervous or disappointed about it at all.

Because at this moment, she already knew very well.

Unlike her, who uses a shield containing powerful power to defend herself without wavering.

The fact that Sulla’s defenses in front of him were weakening little by little every moment because they were purely relying on mana.

And as a result…

“!”

– Clink!

With a cracking sound, Sulla’s shield was shattered into pieces.

In response, Cassandra’s attack began to fly toward Sulla’s abdomen.

But.

“Chit!”

– Phat!

In an instant, the figure of Sulla disappeared as if it had evaporated right in front of his eyes.

A short clicking sound came from Cassandra’s mouth.

At the same time, Sulla reappeared about 10 meters away from where she was.

“Ugh… Ugh… ”

Sulla, who is breathing heavily, does not appear to be in very good condition at a glance.

Seeing this, Cassandra said to her old teacher with a look that still seemed relaxed.

“You’ve become very weak, there’s no way you’ve grown old since you’re an elf… Is it the problem of that chronic disease?”

“Kuh… .”

“As expected, this is really… I can’t believe that the strong teacher Sulla showed me this. As a disciple, it hurts my heart. In that respect.”

“!”

“As a disciple, I will give Master the honorable end he has always wanted.”

With those words, Cassandra put the sword back in and took out the black bottle she had kept in her bosom.

The moment he saw her like this, Sulla’s face began to harden as it was.

“this… This guy!”

“Goodbye Mr. Sulla!”

With that, Cassandra lightly broke her teeth and threw them somewhere.

However, this was not the place to be with Sulla in front of her.

It is.

A place where a handful of elven soldiers were brought by Sulla.

‘It’ that Cassandra threw at them, who could be identified as his disciples just by looking at them, flew away quickly.

immediately after that,

Sulla throws herself and blocks their way.

and…

– Kwakwagwagwang!!!!

A huge black explosion that just happened.

In it, Sulla’s body began to burn and disappear like a piece of paper thrown into a flame.

Sulla, a being who has trained numerous paladins over hundreds of years.

He fought to the end for the disciples he wanted all along and faced the end of death, but despite this, no words such as happiness or glory remained in his heart.

Spicy thoughts filled his dying head.

that…

The future that will inevitably come, starting with his death.

The elven kingdom… Furthermore, it was about a great cataclysmic whirlpool that would entwine the entire continent.

*

Elf paladin Octavia.

The last scene she saw while fighting with Sulla was her master trying to protect them by pouring out his remaining magical energy.

At the end of that, the figure of the master who was engulfed in black flames and died in front of his eyes.

However, without even feeling the sadness of that scene, Octavia couldn’t help but feel a deep fear of the enormous situation that started to occur from that point on.

The black flame that completely swallowed Sulla.

It quickly spread out in all directions, like a fuse, and began to swallow all over the forest in an instant.

The trees of the Kanna Forest have lived for hundreds and thousands of years and have the power to withstand quite a bit of fire.

but this moment.

The trees that had lived through that eternity of time were being swept away by an unknown black flame and were turning into charcoal in an instant.

A scene that seems to show a natural paradise being swallowed up by the flames of hell.

After that, Octavia passed out in the unbearable heat despite her teacher’s sacrifice.

At the last moment, with her eyes on the terrible images of her comrades collapsing around her…
