Episode 1157
Jane and Israfil walked to the center of the Cave of Beginnings.
After washing my hands thoroughly under running spring water, I stood in front of the stone chalice. The chalice was filled with clean water.
“This contains a scroll with the names of the four Rune League battlefields.”
An elderly man who appeared to be a high-ranking official from the neutral zone opened his mouth.
“The Dragon’s Corridor, the Temple of Silence, the Sword Rock Tomb, and even the Lake Forest of Underling.”
He opened his palm.
“You two will choose one representing each faction.”
The two women put their hands into the chalice without hesitation.
Jane closed her eyes.
‘The difference between the compatibility between jet black and divine is clear, but there are countless ways for a necromancer to defeat a priest. ‘Team competitions are better than individual competitions, and spacious venues are more advantageous than narrow ones.’
Jane had already looked through the records of the past Rune League over and over again. She had one place on her mind.
‘It would be best to choose the Temple of Silence.’
Meanwhile, Israfil on the other side was also putting his hand into the Holy Grail. He was lightly sweeping the scrolls around on the stone floor.
‘The departure of Fabric #8, who was responsible for teamwork, was honestly painful.’
In the Rune League, where communication crystal balls cannot be used, Fabric had the advantage of being able to use blessings related to team communication, and was like a lubricant for the team, who was kind to everyone and got along with everyone without hesitation.
‘If there is no fabric, an individual match would be better than a team match. And since we want to reduce variables and utilize the compatibility of divinity to the fullest to achieve strength versus strength, the narrow Dragon’s Corridor is the perfect battlefield for this rune league.’
After thinking about it, the two women finally selected the scrolls placed in the Holy Grail one by one and took them out of the water. The excited gasps of people who were sitting in their seats and watching this whole scene rang out.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
At that moment, flames swirled around the water-filled chalice, burning the remaining scroll. Surprised gasps came from all over the audience, but Jane and Israfil, who were strong-willed, did not even flinch their eyebrows.
“Now then, let’s discuss which scroll you will choose from among the scrolls each of you chose… … .”
Before he could finish his words, Israfil relaxed his grip and threw his scroll into the fire. Then he held out his palm to Jane with a bright smile.
Jane smiled crookedly and opened her scroll.
“The results are in!”
The old man raised his voice.
Even without the use of a loudspeaker, his voice resonated exceptionally loudly in the cave.
“The battlefield for this Rune League is ‘Underling’s Lake Forest’!”
Loud cheers and applause poured in from everywhere. Isra Phil still had his eyes closed and a faint smile on his lips.
“Now you can’t even make excuses if you lose, right?”
“That’s what we’re going to do.”
Jane handed the scroll to the old man and then turned his back.
“It’s good to be able to block excuses about the battlefield in advance.” * * *
Somewhere in another dimension.
Place name ‘??????’.
“… … .”
A man wearing a hood was sitting in a place that resembled an extremely old hall. In this place, where a ray of light was streaming through the ceiling, the man moved his fingers calmly.
Hwareuk. Hwareuk. Hwareuk Hwareuk. Hwareuk.
Candles were lit up all over the empty seats. The man looked around and spoke quietly.
“Are there seven in total?”
He slowly leaned back on the rock chair. The accumulated dust dispersed like smoke, temporarily darkening the surroundings.
“I guess I’ll be grateful.”
Candles were swinging everywhere. Some candles burned fiercely, while others swayed precariously in the wind. The man who was quietly watching the scene opened his mouth.
“I, Cai Lo Benzen Ujat, once again convey the Elder’s instructions to the saviors.”
His low, cold voice rang out.
“Until the Rune League taking place on the continent ends. “All saviors, stop the offensive and stand by.”
While several candles are burning quietly, the candle at the end suddenly bursts into flames! The flames moved as if in opposition.
[Why? Kai.]
Eventually, a creepy-looking figure with eyes appeared above the candlelight.
[The number of saviors is decreasing, and the Ghost Palace has lost Laura. If the place called Rune League is full of our opponents, leading them to destruction is the way to reach the salvation we seek.]
The man called Kai did not answer right away but looked at the candle.
A heavy silence fell over the hall.
“The Rune League is a trap.”
Kai finally opened his mouth.
“We lack information.”
[We have a portal! We can control the point of view!]
The voice coming from the candlelight was seething, as if suppressing anger.
[There are at most six places where the Rune League is held, so just research them all! Even if it’s a trap, I can take down the Rune League!]
At that time, a candle flamed brightly, and a sideways curved eye like a woman’s eye was revealed.
[It looks like he was very upset because Laura died. Hieromir.]
[Shut up!]
The voice that was called Hieromir became more and more excited.
[There are guys there. If you remain silent, I will come and end everything!]
Good luck!
With those words, the candle went out and the image of the eye disappeared.
It felt as if he had retreated in a fit of anger.
Kai closed his eyes.
“Today’s meeting ends here.”
Hwareuk. Hwareuk. Hwareuk.

As the candles were going out one by one, Kai suddenly spoke.
“Ciel.”
The extinguished candle burned blue again, and the eyes of the woman from earlier appeared.
[why?]
“You go and stop Hieromir.”
The woman’s eyes narrowed as if she did not like the instructions.
[I don’t even know what dimension I’m in?]
“Eventually, it will appear on the continent where the Rune League is held.”
[If it’s an order, there’s nothing I can do.]
Hwareuk.
The candle flickered and one eye slowly closed.
[What if Hieromir goes on a rampage before you can stop it?]
Kai answered calmly.
“Kill it.” * * *
Time passed in an instant.
The Crystal traveled throughout the Holy Federation and performed simple missions.
Now, the students who confirmed their participation in the Rune League as regular members had 200% passion, so they did whatever it took. In particular, Jules and Claudia, whose faces were flushed throughout, showed amazing performances. Meanwhile, conditions were improving, with new technologies being developed.
Jamie, who became a reserve member, and Malcolm and Fitzgerald, who became leavers, also worked hard to assist other students.
In particular, Fitzgerald seemed to think that he needed to help as a tactic, so he told the regular members about confirmed information about the students of the Holy Federation and talked about strategies.
“There are six definite regular members of the Holy Federation.”
Fitzgerald said, pushing up his glasses. The regular members were talking around Fitzgerald.
“Their movements can be guessed to some extent because their majors and positions are determined, but this guy is the surprising pick.”
Tuk.
Fitzgerald moved his fingertips.
A female student wearing an Epnel school uniform was visible in the blurry photo.
“Arendia Orvalo. Estimated to be number 9 or 10, he is a priest who specializes in building structures such as fortresses, castle walls, and towers by handling sacred metal.”
“Well, that’s definitely strange.”
Maylin continued speaking while brushing the hair below her ear.
“It seems better to add one more person who majored in healing or blessing studies to the team. There may be a risk that a fortress master like Arendia may not be able to be effective depending on the battlefield. “Why did you bring me here?”
Camivarez, who was listening to the story, widened his eyes.
“Now that I think about it, Meilin! How is the battlefield of the Rune League determined?”
In response to that question, Meilin spread her index finger and explained.
“When the Rune League is imminent, representatives of each faction make a selection. There are about 10 of them, but the most powerful one is definitely… … .”
“Dragon’s Corridor, Temple of Silence, Sword Rock Tomb, Underling’s Lake Forest.”
Fitzgerald stepped in as if he had been waiting.
“The strategy we plan will vary depending on the battlefield. “The Holy Federation may want to fight with strength versus strength, but it is advantageous for us to fight by analyzing them and targeting their weaknesses.”
Elisa, who was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed and listening to the explanation, brought her eyebrows together.
“Hmph, I know they have good defense, but I guess we won’t be pushed back that much with strength versus strength?”
Simon clapped his hands with a smile.
“Of course, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a strategy. “There are many ways to attack the Priest, but the most important one is ‘faith.’”
At the word faith, everyone’s eyes focused on Simon.
Simon gave several examples.
Guardianship majors have powerful defensive skills to protect their colleagues. However, if even one of my colleagues gets hurt, my belief that the goddess is watching over me will be shaken, and a huge hole will be created in that strong defense.
This example was vivid because I heard it directly from a professor at the Shinsung Federation when I went up to Sky Island. Everyone listened to the story with their eyes shining.
Fitzgerald pushed up his glasses.
“therefore… … .”
“ah!”
At that time, Camivarez opened his eyes and spoke.
“Chatel!”
Everyone looked back. Châtelmaère, who was always resting in her room, excluded from all her duties, was up on her deck.
Everyone rushed to Chatel. Fitzgerald smiled faintly, ate his appetite, and followed them.
“For making you worry. sorry.”
Chatel said this and looked around at her colleagues. Simon said.
“How do you feel?”
“It’s incomparable to the first time. “I recovered.”
Chatel smiled, rarely.
“Until the Rune League starts. I will prepare. “We can fight now.”
Everyone’s faces brightened. Meirin and Kami Barez held hands and laughed, and Ezel gave her thumbs up. Jules lightly tapped Chatel with the back of her hand and walked past.
“f*ck you, damn you.”
Everyone frowned and turned their heads at the sudden voice.
Craig, who had been drunk since broad daylight, was sitting on a sunbed in the distance, giggling with his middle finger out.
“Rune League is a mess! Anyway, it’s a game between Keygen and Afnel! Everything that has happened like this is ruined! ha ha ha!”
The students frowned, but showed no further reaction. Even in the early days of the training camp, I had reacted sensitively to each and every one of Craig’s checks, but seeing people break down to that level was just pathetic.
Still, Meilin seemed to be worried and spoke to Simon in a whisper.
“Simon, can’t we just leave him behind?”
Simon laughed and scratched the back of his head.
“But I can’t do that because I’m here as a representative of the Dark Alliance.”
“ruler! everyone!”
Then Meadow came up on deck.
“In a few hours, we will arrive at the ‘Cave of Beginnings’ where the Rune League will be held!”
Everyone’s eyes lit up with expectant expressions.
“Before that, let’s make some simple preparations!”
“?”
The students were called to Meadows.
And after a while.
“Wow!”
Everyone changed into the Dark Alliance uniform and combat uniform.
The team combat uniform, reminiscent of a black suit, was a deep, dark black with strong gold lines and decorative straps, and a badge symbolizing the Dark Alliance was hung on the chest.
Although it looked like a uniform, it was a combat uniform, so it was easier to move and be more active than the Kizen uniform. Camivarez approached, flapping his wings.
“Simon! “The combat uniform is cool!”
“Kami is pretty too.”
“Ehehe.”
From this moment on, I will be competing on behalf of the entire Dark Alliance, not just Keygen.
The first time I measured my body size was to be able to wear this combat uniform. After seeing them in combat uniform, Craig felt even more upset and went down to the guest room.
The rest are looking in the mirror or organizing their clothes with excited faces.
“Uh, over there.”
Claudia pointed ahead.
“A ship from the representative of the Holy Federation also arrived.”
Everyone turned their heads.
Ahead of the horizon, a ship with the Holy Federation flag was approaching.
