People who looked at the sky shattering and scattering like a broken mirror recalled a familiar fear. It was a fear of the devil rising as the ground collapsed and cracked. However, behind the intense fear, a small question arose. Why the word ‘sky’? Demons do not come from heaven.
The sky, which had been clear throughout the festival, turned dark blue. Strange phenomena that cannot be explained by laws occurred one after another. The collapsed sky revealed its insides as if peeling off its shell. The sky had lost its color and was as black as if it had been spread with coal. There is no sun or clouds. The sky, which was cloudier than night, could no longer be called sky. Even though I was outside, I felt like I was trapped in a back yard.
Patter!
Confusion and fear intensified.
A straight hole appeared as if it had been drilled out of the collapsed sky.
huge hole-
Humans remembered.
Bottomless pit.
But it was sky, not earth. The Nest of the Holy Sun was a place where demons should not live. The emperor wanted to sort out the confusion. The Imperial Knights and the National Army received orders and tried to control the situation, but they too seemed to be so overcome with fear that they forgot their duties.
“Oh God. “Please save us.”
In the midst of the chaos of screaming and shouting, someone’s prayer could be clearly heard.
The old man, who was repeatedly making the sign of the cross as if to overcome his fear, caught the sight of beings crawling out of the hole, and closed his eyes because he could no longer bear it. The joy of his victory and regained peace were fleeting. Foolish people cry out for destruction, and weak people only long for help.
Beyond the hole in the sky.
The beings crawling out from the black darkness were clearly hostile attackers. Those who created confusion knew their job as well as a blacksmith forges his weapons. A person who comes from a place other than here. The attackers who came down through the hole began hunting skillfully like raptors descending. Although they were wearing unique clothing that covered their entire bodies, their shapes were clearly human. However, the terrified people of the empire could not think of anyone other than the devil. Attackers from this world were faster than skilled knights. They rushed as if they were flying, chasing the fleeing prey. The attackers all had weapons in their hands. It was a weapon with a bizarre appearance that resembled a scythe.
The attacker wanted to slaughter the humans in front of him without any hesitation.
They also ‘don’t know’.
However, life and instinct were like that.
To the humans of this world, they are invaders.
It was a fair hunt for them.
“… … !”
The raiders shouted in a language that was not the language of any country.
Brave disciples of the Four Moon God Sect, on behalf of Sangje, inflict heavenly punishment on the devil!
Truth seekers and wizards understood language, but not the meaning.
Why do ‘devils’ cry for ‘divine punishment’?
People didn’t know.
The attackers’ true intention was not plunder but ‘justice’.
A security guard was stationed on the outskirts of the square where tens of thousands of people gathered, but most of them were guards who did not even have the skills of a quasi-knight. The young soldiers who were the first to confront the attackers raised their swords to fight back with bravery, but even as they were unable to accept the situation due to the sudden situation, they vaguely realized that they were an enemy they could never defeat.
“mother… … !”
When they finally clashed, I didn’t even know where the sword I was swinging was going.
Just before the blades of the attackers, who rushed at him more violently than wild beasts, decapitated him, the soldier looked for his mother, not God.
square-!
The young man, who had been a soldier for less than half a year, heard for the first time the sound of human flesh being cut off. He thought it wasn’t much different from the sound it made when a butcher cut a ham. And even though his head was cut off, he didn’t feel any pain. It was almost laughable that he was afraid of death. Where do I go? Will I be reborn as a human under the guidance of the three gods? No, since I couldn’t do anything, if I am reborn, I will be reborn as a livestock.
“Are you okay?”
“mother!”
The young man suddenly opened his eyes at the sound of a soft voice and was dumbfounded to see a brown-haired man standing in front of him. Slowly, the surrounding scene came into view. The devil in the sky who cut off his own head is now dead with his head cut off. The same was true for the raiders who came in like a tidal wave. Everyone was dead and lying around.
“Why don’t you mind your own business while you’re looking for mom? “Get people as far away from the ‘hole’ as possible.”
“mother… ah! you are!”
“Yes, I am the Pillar of Dawn. A savior. Now do your thing. “Be courageous.”
The soldier belatedly realized that not only did he live, but he was also saved. Yes. What is ‘God’? He just needs to find his mother when she’s dead, and find him when she’s alive. He thought it was a somewhat blasphemous idea, but the young man who survived took courage from it.
“I will obey your orders!”
The appearance of a savior instantly washed away fear and brought relief.
He will definitely save us!
Humans assume death too easily and are saved too easily. A pillar of dawn that blocks the devil in the sky. The cries of the survivors echoed around the area, and people who were in fear regained their cool and gathered courage to protect their lives. While the garrison was evacuating people, the Empire’s armed forces, including the Spiritual Knights, rushed to help the Pillars of Dawn.
However.
The Pillar of Dawn, which was confronting the invaders pouring out of the hole, ignored the enemy and turned its back. Kajuwea, who ran first, said in confusion.
“Huh? Captain, the enemies are still… … .”
“It’s over already.”
Polestar scratched his head and thought.
It certainly seems like something big has happened, but it’s a situation without any tension.
The drivers who arrived one after another looked at the plodding Polestar in confusion.
It was then.
Rain fell from the sky.
“uh?”
The knights who were shaking off the rainwater realized that their palms were stained red.
“f*ck! “It’s blood!”
Showers are blood, not rain.
It was the blood spattered from the exploded and dead attackers.
Polestar glanced at the sky.
He was floating next to the hole.
‘It might be interesting.’
Lanistas do not fight the weak.
This was the reason why he was relatively ‘calm’ compared to the other twins.
But this incident was enough to attract his attention even if the opponent was the underdog.
He killed the swarming attackers with just his momentum.
He literally didn’t lift a hand. It was a funny story, but at that level, it was completely possible. It was possible to split steel just by slightly releasing the internal power it contained. Here, the twins were the only ones who felt the power radiating from Lanista. It was on a different level. His energy was so enormous that ordinary people could not even notice it. And in front of him, everyone was ordinary.
Polestar sighed as he felt Lanista’s slightly angry tone.
Is this a terrible nightmare coming back to life, haha?

I guessed it, but in the end.
‘Murimin. And then… … .’
‘Kim Chang-sik’ recalled how the Earth was destroyed.
* * *
The identity of the attackers was announced as demons.
It caused great confusion, but fortunately there were no casualties.
It is said that it was the brilliant performance of the Pillar of Dawn that caused the miracle.
There were many who considered it fortunate that it was a level of evil that could be sufficiently suppressed by the heroes of the empire. However, those who witnessed the bottomless pit in the sky, not on the ground, were quite embarrassed and continued to express questions. However, no one knew the reason, so it did not develop into a bigger problem. The situation was easily calmed down thanks to the leadership’s efforts to allay fears.
At least that’s what it was known to the outside world.
The imperial capital, the Imperial City, has become very busy since that day.
Emergency meetings were held several times a day, attended by important figures from the East and West continents.
It was because of one truth that could never be ignored.
At first, only the emperor, the allied corps commander Count Schwarzen, the Duke of Mateland, and the five powerful noble families, including the Duke of Solgar, knew this. However, Emperor Libera wanted to share the facts rather than hide them. Although the householders opposed it, the emperor’s beliefs were firm. The reason was that now that the pretender is gone, humanity must join forces.
“The devil… Are you saying no?”
The Chief of Staff of the Western Continent Kingdom Alliance, who belatedly participated in the meeting, was faced with an unbelievable and shocking truth. He could understand a devil. No, he had to be the devil. If the attackers who appeared in the sky were not demons, the order of this world would be disrupted. The wisdom and knowledge that mankind has accumulated will become useless. Humanity is not yet ready to face new threats.
“exactly.”
The emperor’s answer was dry but confident.
Most of the attackers died with their entire bodies blown apart, leaving no flesh behind, but there were a few corpses with their heads separated. After obtaining the body, the Empire secretly began an investigation. The emperor personally identified the body. Over and over again.
“I’m not a faker.”
It would have been better if he had been a disguiser.
“At the risk of being rude, I urge you to make sufficient efforts to prove the truth… … .”
Count Schwarzen shouted in anger at the chief of staff’s suspicious tone.
“You don’t trust the Emperor of Kunkan! Don’t foolishly try to ignore the truth. “If you don’t believe me, you can check for yourself.”
Because there were many people like the Chief of Staff.
The Empire preserved the raider’s body intact and made it available for identification if desired.
Even though the Chief of Staff was jealous of the Empire, the situation was so serious that he went to the morgue to check the body. As a victim of the Great War, he has seen the corpses of disguisers countless times. He repeatedly checked the corpse using a rosary imbued with anti-magic power. He didn’t care if he incurred God’s wrath. He even mutilated the body and hoped it was a disguise, but he realized that too.
The emperor spoke to the chief of staff, who returned with a white face.
“There are no more impersonators in this world.”
“Then, Emperor. Those are really… … .”
The attacker of the bottomless pit had to be the devil.
“Are you saying they are humans like us?”
They weren’t supposed to be human.
* * *
The talks continued until the truth was reached.
However, they will never know.
Those who knew the secret did not reveal the truth.
The four twins gathered at the top floor of the Magic Tower, in the fox’s office.
They knew the identity of the attackers.
“Nice to meet you, kekeke.”
Polestar swallowed his saliva at Lanista’s eerie smile.
‘Are you sure. ‘I’m planning to kill them wherever they come.’
I had already experienced it.
Even Earth’s powerless searchers.
Even a fox wandering about the truth.
Even angels who worship uprightness.
A deserted island driven by instinct.
A planet fused with a collapsed dimension.
“… So, this world I lived in… Are you saying it will be like Earth?”
Polestar wanted to cry.
* * *
How could I forget!
The world truly plummeted in an instant. The exchange rate crisis, disease epidemic, World War 3, etc. were not even comparable. Apocalypse, the era of destruction. What a sad life, rejoicing in just one canned food.
“Siiiiii… … .”
Days when death was taken for granted.
A future with a confirmed end, a glimmer of hope that was held on tenaciously even in despair.
“Baaaaaal.”
Collapse is a catastrophe.
Invasion of another world.
The only options are whether you want to be stabbed to death, eaten to death, or trampled to death… It’s just about how to die. It is said that that terrible and disgusting era of apocalypse will happen again in this world that has been given a second life. The end times that the devils were talking about really meant the same thing as the end of the Earth!
but.
There is a big difference.
First of all, ‘me’.
Different, a lot.
And ‘those guys’.
Those who were at the forefront of Earth’s destruction.
Now it has become a reliable ally to prevent destruction.
Well, they insist that they didn’t contribute to the destruction of the Earth, so I’ll give them some credit for now.
fantasy,
