“Yes, it might be absurd from your perspective. You must have felt that the time you suffered unfairly was in vain. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have had to go through this.”
Ryan smiled faintly.
“But today is the end. It’s liberation! So enjoy this festival.”
“… The sight that will unfold seems like hell to enjoy.”
Letao could see Ryan’s smile deepen at the words he had spoken.
The sight was so ferocious that it resembled a ferocious beast, and Letao’s shoulders shrank involuntarily.
‘This kind of person-‘
Can that human win?
Last week.
I haven’t heard from him at all.
indeed-
‘Can I trust that person?’
I had that question.
Because even though Letao knew of the hell that was unfolding, he wasn’t sure how to stop it.
“Hell – that’s a good expression, Letao.”
Crazy guy.
Letao cursed Ryan inwardly.
The countless creatures that will gather in the square today.
All of them, the Suin tribe, will die.
You will be pushed into a pit set up on the stage square.
You won’t be able to run away.
Because while all the families come out to watch, Ryan’s soldiers and his men will force them to die.
That would be a terrible sight.
Even if you want to run away, running away from Ryan means only death.
“Letao. But isn’t that hell not your hell?”
“!”
At that moment, Letao was overcome with anger.
‘You are going to offer me up as a sacrifice!’
I plan to offer my daughter as well!
And then what?
Not my hell?
This bastard is going to die!
Woof-
Mana began to sway around Letao without me knowing.
The matter of my daughter.
But there is no contact from the other party.
Moreover, he was in a weaker situation than Ryan and could not easily do anything.
Above all, I couldn’t find my daughter.
“Letao.”
At that moment, Letao stopped at the sound of Ryan’s soft voice.
“You have such a kind heart. That must be why you are so angry at the deaths of those insignificant things.”
The smile on Ryan’s lips disappeared.
“But, it would be difficult if you stood in front of me.”
Letao avoided Ryan’s murderous gaze.
“… I couldn’t control my emotions at that moment.”
Letao was ashamed, but he had to say the words.
“Yeah. As expected, you’re a man of common sense.”
Ryan smiled again and spoke softly to Letao.
“Help me until the end. Okay?”
The underlying meaning of those words was clearly heard by Letao.
‘You must help me till the end, even at the cost of your life and that of your daughter.’
Nevertheless, Letao nodded without saying anything and said.
“Okay. I always keep my promises.”
“of course.”
With those words, Letao left Ryan’s room.
The reason was that Ryan had personal business to attend to.
Click.
He came out of the door and headed to his room.
A watchman followed along the road.
Letao felt suffocated.
‘What do we do?’
I thought I was going crazy.
What should I do?
I collected as much information as possible just in case, but I had no idea how to use it.
“Haha. See you later.”
The watchman was an old wizard.
He greeted Letao in front of the room assigned to him, and Letao came into his room with a sigh and without answering.
bang!

And closed the door.
A room without any proper furniture, just a bed and a wardrobe.
He sat on the bed and shut his eyes tightly.
‘Should I go on a rampage?’
Then, wouldn’t there be a way to at least save my daughter and escape?
All kinds of thoughts were running through my head.
‘If only I could use magic!’
If that were the case, I would have found that person somewhere and sent him the information!
smart.
‘Nothing works!’
smart.
“… … .”
Letao paused.
He raised his head.
I looked out the window.
smart.
Someone is knocking on the window.
But there is nothing.
‘no!’
What do you see?
Something like a little snowflake!
Letao jumped up and opened the window.
Wheeing—
A gust of wind came into the room.
It’s not magic.
So it doesn’t fall under surveillance.
But the wind was unusual.
Wheeing–
Hovered around him.
“ah!”
It’s a spirit!
Letao immediately held out his palm.
The white snowflakes were pieces of paper.
I unfolded the small folded piece of paper.
“ha ha ha-”
There are only two hours left.
You want me to tell you the information now?
“but.”
There’s only one piece of information they need.
‘stage.’
You might be asking what that stage is.
He looked at the blank space on the paper.
‘Pen-‘
I looked around.
“There isn’t any.”
There is nothing useful.
However, it was a situation where magic could not be used.
Crack.
Letao bit my finger and hurt it.
Blood flowed out.
He began to write with the blood.
I didn’t feel any pain.
Because the information that made it necessary for him to move was written in there.
Kale didn’t just sit still.
I had already released the wind spirit and gathered all the information I could, and was even looking for Letao’s daughter.
Knock, knock.
Blood flowed, but Letao didn’t care.
He wrote down all the information he had on paper.
He took in the last part of the note that Kale had delivered.
“ha ha ha-”
Letao’s eyes sparkled.
Hope sparkled in his eyes.
Yes, the hell that is about to unfold is not mine.
Ryan.
It will be yours.
***
And then it was 6 o’clock.
Residents who had been gathered since 5:30 were seated around the stage.
As the sun began to set, beautiful magical lights came on around the stage, creating a very atmospheric atmosphere.
Ryan was sitting on the podium behind the stage, in the highest position, looking down on the crowd.
And Letao, who was sitting slightly lower than Ryan and looking at the people, couldn’t see the sky and the sunset that were gradually turning red in the distance.
“…crazy……!”
Dragon Letao cursed without realizing it and stared blankly at one spot.
lalala—lalala—
Beautiful music rang out before the performance, but no one paid attention to it.
Boom! Boom!
Crunch, bang!
I just watch something huge approaching, destroying everything in its path.
The longest-living being on this earth, having lived as long as a dragon.
A being worthy of the name of a spirit being.
Ss …
A giant white snake, dozens of meters tall, stood with its back to the sunset, glaring at Ryan.
But Ryan didn’t pay attention to the white sand.
A blond haired man flying towards him.
“Where did you find a child with no morals to tease an elder?”
The old dragon Erhaven blurted out a word and waved his hand lightly.
Golden dust swirled around him, following his gestures.
Kwaaaa …
Instead of a performance on stage, a loud noise echoed.
1071
Wheeee—
The wind blew.
On the stage where the loud noise had disappeared, Dragon Lion was standing there.
The shield spread out in his hand blocked Erhaven’s attack.
Sigh.
The dragon Erhaven looked down at him and laughed.
Ryan took in Erhaven and the white snake Wisha beyond.
And I looked around.
The slightly excited atmosphere leading up to the festival performance was filled with confusion.
“My lord!”
He also read the anxiety in the urgent voice of his subordinate wizard.
Because the final execution, the unexpected variable that occurred before the great undertaking made me feel ominous.
Ryan’s mouth opened.
“More prey has come in.”
The worry disappeared from the old wizard’s eyes when he heard those words.
‘That’s right, that’s right!’
There is more prey.
As the number of offerings increases, Ryan will become a greater god.
‘You can’t miss that road!’
The old wizard realized what he had to do.
That wasn’t all.
Ryan’s closest aides acted as soon as they knew what to do.
“Catch that old snake right now!”
“Stop the white snake!”
The wizards and knights began to move.
But the action was not sloppy.
“He’s the guy the Paladins and the Inquisitors couldn’t catch!”
“Don’t let your guard down! That woman’s strength is greater than that of a few people!”
The troops that had been secretly deployed for the great undertaking moved in unison.
In particular, the wizards immediately took out their magic stones and formed a joint magic circle, preparing to face the White Snake.
Besides, they didn’t care about Baeksaman.
“quiet!”
“This sword will not leave the one who runs wild alone!”
“The situation will be sorted out soon! Wait at the spot we designated!”
The appearance of the white snake and the dragon.
The residents who were confused by this were immediately stopped from acting rashly.
The soldiers moved, followed by the knights.
Among those knights, the elf knight guarding the entrance to Ryan’s Lair and the underground also moved quickly and then stopped.
“what?”
His gaze turned to his back.
The subordinates’ movements were strangely slow, unlike the other knights.
The elf knight’s brow furrowed.
He approached his men.
“Do you guys want to die?”
He knew very well why his men did that.
“Don’t you want to fight the white snake?”
Many of his subordinates were of Suin tribe origin.
Although he was not good at using auras, his physical abilities were superior to those of ordinary people who could not use auras, making him suitable as a knight.
“You don’t want to point your sword at your own kind, do you? But if you do, you’ll die. And your family will die.”
He too was doing this work against his will to protect his hometown.
That’s why he put pressure on his subordinates.
“Move. I’m watching you from all sides right now.”
Besides them, there were other knights and wizards. Ryan’s men were watching. If they did not act properly here, the aftermath would be death for his men, their families, and his village.
“Leader.”
At that moment, one of the Suin knights asked him with a stern face.
“…Do you know what happens underground?”
“…I do not know.”
He turned away from his subordinate’s face.
‘I bet they’re bringing the Suin people here and doing terrible things to them.’
Of the Suin tribe that had been dragged underground for a while, none returned.
I didn’t want to know any more than what had happened to them. I wanted to pretend I didn’t know.
That’s why he spoke coldly to his subordinate who was stirring it up.
“Don’t you guys already know to some extent?”
Some of his men were forced to become knights by order, in order to protect their families.
And there were others who took on this job to get under Ryan and take a seat.
Among them, the person who spoke to him just now was one of those who was forced to work.
He was the one who had been caught by an elf knight and given a warning after moving several times to find out what was happening to the water people who had gone down underground.
Because of this, this guy was often ignored or shunned by the Suin knights who wanted to look good to Ryan.
‘… That’s strange.’
But now that he was stepping forward, the knights of the Suin tribe on the other side were not saying anything.
No, rather, I was filled with fear and horror.
I didn’t know what I was afraid of.
“… Since you are in the same situation as me, I am showing you.”
“what?”
“Please look at this first and then decide.”
“Hey, Inma!”
He finally raised his voice.
“What is the situation right now? What kind of note do you want me to see-”
But the moment he read the first sentence of the unfolded note, he stopped.
There were two notes.
Below that, part of the note was also visible.
The note that came first was on the bottom, and the note on top was the note that came later.
The elf knight could not move.
‘Sacrifice? Ritual? Dead Mana?’
His mind went blank as information beyond what he had imagined and the truth he had been ignoring appeared before his eyes.
His subordinate’s voice came into his ear.
“Based on the way things are going, it seems like the contents of this note are true. But, Captain, is it over if we sacrifice our people to the two dragons?”
The elf knight slowly raised his head.
The surrounding scenery came into view.
And finally, I saw my face reflected in the subordinate’s eyes.
‘This is the last one!’
At that moment, the voice of the wind spirit, a close friend, was heard.
After working under Ryan, my friend, who had been very good at listening to my requests but had suddenly become very quiet, spoke softly.
‘This is your last chance!’
The elf felt his friend’s words sink deep into his heart.
And it wasn’t just the elves who heard that this was their last chance.
“Elder.”
The old man did not respond to the voice coming from beside him and instead looked at the note in his hand.
Born after a time of upheaval, he soon became the oldest member of his tribe.
His parents and ancestors were all hunted down and no one remained.
A half-tiger tribe, with only those who cannot properly use berserk.
Perhaps because of this, even though he was originally a tiger beast with a long lifespan, he had already aged and seemed to have little time left.
Maybe it was because I had suffered so much.
After all that suffering, he was finally forced to surrender to Ryan and live a life like a slave.
He thought that it would be better if he stayed that way, but he couldn’t sleep due to worry and anxiety about the tribesmen who had been taken away to Rare.
Still, I couldn’t tell.
‘Because I’m weak.’
I don’t care if my old life dies at any time, but I can’t let the tribesmen who settled here and lived like slaves without being chased out die.
‘That’s what happened-‘
I thought to myself in my old age that this might be the right answer.
When everyone was excited about the festival today, a note was delivered to him on the wind.
And then an hour later, new information was delivered.
Notes detailing everything that happens at Ryan’s Lair.
At the bottom of the last note that was delivered was this sentence:
The person who gave us the information did not tell us to blindly believe or follow it.
He asked me to think based on what I saw.
But nothing had happened by 6 o’clock, and the Tiger Clan chief could not easily make any judgments.
however-
“Elder Baek-sa-”
The last hope and pride of the remaining Suin tribe on this land was the Baeksa.
Everyone was keeping quiet, but as long as she was alive somewhere, as long as she was the oldest survivor, the Suin tribe would not be completely destroyed.
As expected, the white sand was huge.
The snake, with its gigantic body rivaling that of a dragon, was incredibly intimidating.
Even amidst the knights and soldiers attacking her, and the pouring magic, she was not even slightly disturbed.
