Episode 717: For the Last End (2)
“So, Demon King. “What’s your next goal?”
Helia asked Ludgar, and Ludger answered without hesitation.
“More reinforcements are needed.”
“Reinforcements? “How do we need more reinforcements here?”
Helia shot Ludger a look as if he was making sense.
Moreover, if someone with mediocre skills comes, they will be captured by the power of Salesin or die.
That is an increase in meaningless sacrifices.
Above all, the method was also an issue.
How on earth could people come to such a remote, high-altitude place?
Not everyone can fly in the sky.
“Have someone bring me?”
“You don’t have to worry about that part.”
Ludger answered easily, as if he had known from the beginning that Helia would make such a comment.
“Seeing as this is what happened, the smart kid knows what to do.”
Catherine also nodded in understanding.
Helia snorted happily, as if she didn’t feel very good about the fact that she was the only one missing out on something.
“Anyway, I have to go help that old saint. “Because I’m the only one who has the power to move right now.”
Helia looked up at the sky.
White light exploded one after another beyond the dark clouds.
Although they both used the same sacred power, their atmospheres were clearly different.
While Archenis’ divine power was warm and cozy, Salesine’s divine power was fearful and destructive.
The purpose was different.
Because Archenis, who protects someone, and Salesin, who dominates and punishes someone, were completely opposite.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
The pure white lines scattered and came together repeatedly.
The speed was so fast and explosive that the surrounding dark clouds began to be torn apart by the light.
Helia summoned a monster that resembled a pterodactyl and flew up on its back.
“Ah. “It’s really not my style to do this.”
Helia whined to herself as she watched the melee getting closer and closer.
In the first place, she did not prefer such scary and rough fights.
Even in a fight, when one side had an overwhelming advantage, I liked to press down on the other side.
But now the situation was clearly contrary to her wishes.
Salesin and Archenis.
The power each of them possessed was more than that of the apostle Helia.
Even if it is not a shrimp that fights with a whale, if any other creature gets involved, its back will explode.
Even Helia was no exception.
Nevertheless, he came forward.
‘Well, it can’t be helped! Now, I can’t say that I enjoyed my time with that idiot!’
Helia thought of Surna, who was in complete disrepair.
The reason she came this far and stayed until the end was only because of Surna.
It’s not a feeling like love.
In fact, it would be closer to friendship.
Because now, the only two apostles left are Surna and myself.
‘know. Even though we are called the same apostles, Surna and I are different from the beginning.’
Helia was the only blood relative and daughter of Heliodor, the ancient dragon.
Because she was the daughter of the Dragon King, she was called the Dragon Princess, and countless dragons blessed her birth and cherished and loved her as if she were their own child.
I still remember the sights of that day.
A time when all life lived peacefully and happily in a large forest in full bloom.
When I rolled around on the grass with my small, chubby body, there were my uncles who watched the scene with joy.
When my wings were too small to fly, I would climb on top of my uncle’s head and enjoy the high air of the sky.
I touched the clouds with my hands and exchanged glances with the birds at eye level.
And I looked down on the world for the first time from a high place.
The place is vast and spread out.
It was so beautiful.
Helia never forgot that memory.
But the happiness did not last long.
The world shook and the sky split open.
Through the cracks, Rumensis, who had killed or imprisoned other gods, tried to show off his power.
[No matter how much he is a god, he cannot arbitrarily intervene in the laws of this world! Because we won’t make it like that!]
Father Heliodor flew into the sky with his clan uncles.
Each dragon is at least 100 meters long.
The sight of a thousand dragons flying at the same time, covering the sky, was so overwhelming that it took my breath away just to see it.
The dragons let out their breath towards the crack, and a being peering down at the dragons through the crack widened its eyes.
It looked more like a bead of light than an eye.
And dozens of such beads looked at the dragons at the same time, and countless lights shooting out from there swept the dragons.
No matter how strong their scales and muscles were, they were helpless in front of the light.
A dragon that was hit had its body pierced and its upper and lower bodies were separated or completely destroyed.

The battle continued for 10 days and nights.
The rift was finally closed, but Heliodor, the dragon who closed the rift last, lost his strength and fell.
The heart of a forest that was once full of life but is now in ruins.
What young Helia saw there was the corpses of countless uncles and the figure of her father slowly laying the bodies on the ground.
My father closed his eyes and never opened them again.
-dad. wake up. huh? Why are you lying down? Uncles. Where has everyone gone? Why is there no one?
like that.
The princess became the only survivor of her clan.
Dark clouds formed in the sky and torrential rain fell.
Helia cried sadly for the first time.
And at the same time, I made a promise.
He said he would survive.
And that this crying will be the last.
It was a time of enduring like that.
As the only survivor of her clan, Helia could not hope for anyone’s sympathy.
Even if you knew someone, it was just a thin shell covering the emptiness.
Trying to smile and pretend to be friendly or mischievous was nothing more than a superficial act of not wanting to reveal his true feelings.
Helia wondered if she could gain some kind of bond from the apostles, but it was no use.
Even if they were the same apostles, their personalities, abilities, and actions were all different.
In the end, they are people who blindly believe in their own god.
She was fundamentally different from the one who became the clan’s apostle following in the footsteps of her father, who should have been an apostle originally.
-They’re all just boring guys.
What caught Helia’s eyes was Surna, who did not stand out much at the time.
I don’t know why. My eyes just fell on Surna.
The sight of him sinking deep and deep, not even thinking about suppressing the boiling hatred, just bristling his thorns.
I felt a sense of kinship, that it somehow resembled me.
-Are you Surna?
So, after watching him with interest a few times, I couldn’t resist and spoke to him first. This was their first meeting.
Many things happened after that.
Surna, who only thought about revenge, did not particularly try to become close to Helia, and Helia at the time did not mind that.
Many things happened.
Other apostles died, the world turned into a human one, science developed, and tall buildings began to be built one by one.
It was a really long time.
The only person who shared those years with Helia was Surna.
okay.
Although I didn’t want to admit it out loud now.
She thought of Surna as her only friend.
“Help me. father.”
Helia activated her power.
The massive body of the great dragon Heliodor appeared in the air.
Heliodor looked down at Helia with warm eyes.
But Helia still did not look at Heliodor.
She knows too. Her father is dead.
What you are creating now is just an illusion. It was the embodiment of the warmth his father had shown him.
So Helia didn’t really like summoning Heliodor.
Because the painful memories of that day come back. So I tried not to call my uncles unless it was really important.
However, I used it twice today alone.
It was something that made me laugh out loud.
‘So since I’ve already called it like this.’
Helia’s wide eyes looked towards the two fighting beings beyond the clouds.
You will be swept away, but you will handle yourself.
“Wipe it away.”
Even though she was a being made of illusion, Heliodor was willing to breathe in to fulfill her daughter’s request.
Heliodor’s chest swelled to its limit.
Soon a wave of light pierced the clouds.
* * *
“Helia. you… … .”
Surna vaguely opened one eye and stared at Heliodor who appeared in the sky.
Surna also knew what Helia had been through because she had lived as an apostle for a long time.
She lost her clan and was left alone.
Heliodor was the most painful memory for Helia.
For Helia, summoning her father, the most powerful illusion, must have meant a lot of determination.
She, who always prioritized her own survival and safety, stepped forward and used it at a moment when there was no need to fight.
Surna was able to read Helia’s will with just that.
Surna smiled faintly.
“You had that much determination.”
* * *
Salesin felt a heat source approaching beneath his feet.
“Is this the breath of the great dragon?”
It was Salesin who inherited and accumulated through his soul the knowledge and experience of countless years.
Therefore, he immediately recognized the source of the power that was approaching him at high speed.
This should be avoided.
One bowl had already been completely destroyed because of Heathcliff.
The current body was a vessel prepared in advance, but it was brought in in a hurry and was not in very good condition.
It was enough to deal with Arkenis, but it wasn’t enough to block the breath of that great dragon.
The problem was that Archenis also knew Salesin’s inner thoughts.
“Are you trying to avoid it?”
Arkenis already knew.
During the fight, Helia’s attack came, and Salesin, feeling a sense of danger, tried to withdraw.
Because both her eyes were looking down.
“Arcenis! How dare you!”
Salesin exploded with anger at Arkenis’s actions in trying to forcefully hold him back.
Salesin, who was looking at Arkenis’ eyes with a hateful gaze, immediately curled the corners of his mouth.
“okay. But its power is not complete.”
Arkenis’ eyes, which seemed to capture the blue sky, were blinking.
Instead of closing and opening the eyes, the color of the pupils changed from light blue to brown.
She has already lost her power, [Judgment Eye].
Now, I just briefly got back the fragments that were left behind in the past after a long time.
As he used the decision while fighting Salesin, Arkenis’ power was rapidly draining in real time.
“Yes.”
Archenis did not deny Salesin’s words.
It wasn’t something that could be hidden anyway.
“But I could hold you longer.”
“you… … !”
Salesin felt a sense of crisis and tried to quickly escape, but Archenis was persistent.
A double or triple ring of light appeared behind her, and a pure white chain came out of the ring and bound Salesin’s body.
“Oh, of course I won’t fit. “I should at least say thank you to the devil who was so considerate and shot me.”
“Arkenisuuuu!”
A chain like this can be broken easily.
But the momentary gap created by cutting it off was unavoidable.
A pure white flash engulfed Salesin, who was bound in chains.
Before this, Heliodor’s breath burned the sky with flames.
But this one was different.
Its size was small and its range was narrow, but that made it even more powerful and powerful.
The breath soared high into the sky and lasted long enough to extend beyond the clouds, through the atmosphere, and into space.
It is so powerful that no matter who gets caught, it disappears without leaving a trace.
Helia looked beyond the clouds and clenched her fists with confidence.
I couldn’t see it with my eyes, but I could feel it with my instincts.
This is definitely in.
However, Helia could not help but widen her eyes.
This is because power began to emerge from the place where the dragon’s breath passed, and Salesin returned to his original form along with the light.
Now all I could do was laugh out loud in shock.
“This is too much.”
Salesin stretched out his hands towards Archenis and Helia respectively.
Flash!
A huge light that seemed to engulf the world exploded and swept over their bodies.
It was the light of destruction that brought everything to death.
Neither Arkenis nor Helia could respond to that power.
Salesin clicked his tongue as he watched the two beings fall with a faint puff of smoke.
‘I never thought a dish would break here again.’
Salesin played it this time as if it were natural, but his discomfort was beyond words.
What didn’t need to be broken was broken.
‘But I guess it doesn’t matter. ‘Now there’s no one who can stop me.’
Arkenis, who was the most annoying guy, broke away from the previous blow.
It was the same with Helia.
Salesin slowly descended below the clouds and stood on top of the Galaharad fortress.
Salesin muttered as he looked at it, which was so completely ruined that it could no longer be called a fortress.
“I have to finish it soon.”
Salesin’s body trembled as he muttered to himself.
Phew!
This was because a large ink-colored harpoon pierced his solar plexus.
Salesin vomited blood from his mouth and grabbed the harpoon. He tried to pull it straight out, but like his hook, the inside was bent in the opposite direction, so it wasn’t easy to pull out.
Even though you let your guard down, you hurt yourself?
Who on earth?
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The end of the harpoon was connected to a large anchor chain.
A large beastman came riding on the anchor chain and made eye contact with Salesin.
“You are a great hunter.”
