Episode 445: Heavenly Destiny (4)
Isabel.
The people of the Salamander Continent did not know her story.
Who she is, how she lives, and what the being called a saint is doing in the chaos of the continent. Everything was a mystery.
She made a brief appearance during the war with Kronos and was deeply troubled immediately after confirming the destruction of Odelia.
that day.
After praying for a while, she accepted the reality that she had to walk down a thorny path.
‘The evil group is revealing its evil intentions. In the not-too-distant future, the passage to the Demon World will be opened, and demons from the Demon World, who have lost their restrictions due to Alexandre, will attack this world. This fact is proven by the fact that Alexandre, who was only a minion, used magic enough to destroy the capital of Odelia. The time is coming. God spoke to me about the dark times when the survival of this world depends on it.’
The corners of my eyes were trembling.
She looked into the truth.
Because we know what kind of danger lurks in the world, we have done whatever it takes to prevent it.
But I couldn’t defy fate. The malice that I had barely suppressed came out in all directions.
The things that Alexandre, the Demon King of the Demon World, did to devour this world were suffocating him.
The oracle said:
[God said, at some point, someone who will represent God’s will will appear and solve the problems of this world. But if you miss that time, the world will never be able to escape from the abyss of despair.]
One who represents God’s will.
It was a reality he had to deal with.
Unable to impose the harsh reality on those who do not know the truth, Isabel had to make a decision to solve the conspiracy that was at hand.
In fact, even she couldn’t think of a way to solve the problem.
Even though she was blessed by God, her power was weak, and the darkness that threatened the world was too strong for humans to handle.
I raised my head.
Looking at God, she said to herself.
“From the moment I was born, I accepted it as my calling to live for this world. I once believed I could solve all the world’s problems, but now I don’t think so. Your species is nothing but a weak human being. It is impossible for me alone to prevent the despair that will come. That’s why I want to leave for the demon world. “I will risk my life to keep the spark of hope alive so that people entangled in war and chaos can buy time to reorganize their forces.”
I knew it myself.
This choice.
It was no different from suicide.
The moment you cross over to the demon world, it will be impossible to return to the earthly world, and the soldiers who follow you will not survive either.
However, it was my duty to accept the truth even after knowing it.
Isabel, who had been called a saint from the moment she was born, could not think of a better way.
No answer came back.
And Isabel knew from past experience that this was God’s will.
To move forward correctly.
God was silent.
Just by granting her special powers, God placed many restrictions on her, and Isabelle tried to understand God’s will as much as possible.
There was no time to delay.
She, who had been spending a long time in the place blessed by God, stood up and faced the people watching her.
among them.
There was Leo, the leader of the Royal Knights.
The man who had always been with me throughout the past years approached me and spoke with a worried face.
“… … Queen. How about going back to Arcadia? “The oracle demands the queen’s sacrifice every time, but now that the Kronos Empire has declared a truce, there is no reason to remain here.”
“No, you can’t do that.”
I shook my head.
Mandate of Heaven was accepted.
It was a choice that forced sacrifice on those who followed her, but Isabel had no choice but to tell them the reality.
“In the process of destroying the capital of Odelia, Alexander used 9th Circle magic, which is a forbidden area. That means that the restrictions have been lifted, and that is probably why we launched a continental war even though we knew that we would go forward. I don’t have time anymore. “The moment they achieve their desired goal through human death, there is no way to prevent the darkness that will come to the continent, even if we borrow the power of God.”
that day.
The soldiers, including Isabel, left.
A noble sacrifice that no one will recognize.
The people of the Salamander Continent are unaware of Isabelle’s dedication, but she had to set out on her way.
* * *
A lot has happened in the world.
The collapse of Arcadia, the Second Continental War, the death of Alexander, etc.
While time passed so quickly, Isabelle and her soldiers who entered the demon world forgot the concept of time.
Kill.
Killed and killed again.
From the moment she entered the demon world, monsters rushed at her, and Isabel unleashed her divine power and slaughtered them.
In order to connect the demon world and the earthly world, several conditions are necessary.
In a situation where most conditions were met, such as a passage connecting the two worlds, a collapse of the dimension, and chaos in the earthly world, Isabel’s divine power prevented the passage from forming.
It was covered in blood.
The number of soldiers was decreasing day by day, and Isabelle was soaked in blood and felt like her life was draining away.
‘Oh God.’
I found God.
I hoped for the strength to endure.
God gave her infinite strength to break through the magic of darkness, and thanks to this, she was able to endure until the end despite the attacks of monsters.
But even that reached its limit at some point.
As the 3rd Corps commander moved in earnest, his tail was stepped on, and the bloody battle was repeated every day to the point where he could not even sleep properly.
at last.
We lost all our soldiers.

Leo and I continued the fight together, and although we tried not to lose hope, we ended up facing a moment of despair.
“Cough.”
Leo spit out blood.
The corpses of monsters were piled up in a heap around him, but rather than focusing on how many enemies were dead, the focus was on the gruesome wounds that tore Leo’s body.
Isabelle felt suffocated. The fact that even Leo was like this made him unable to suppress his emotional agitation this time.
“… … This is not it. “You shouldn’t die like this.”
As a saint.
I always wanted to be resolute.
Since people did not see themselves as the same human being, I hoped that I would be the same as what they wanted me to be.
however.
She couldn’t be a saint now.
Leo was in a relationship for a long time.
From the moment Isabelle’s life began until now, Leo has never left her side.
“… … Queen. “No, Isabel.”
Leo’s face calmed down.
It was definitely not a positive sign.
Revolving light reflection.
Leo, who was about to die, burned his life force for the last time.
“The person named Isabel I remember was very delicate. She always tried to appear resolute even though she was at an age when her parents would have been embarrassed by the fact that people praised her as a saint and that she thought of her as her only hope. I thought you were so pitiful. “Even if you solved all the problems facing the people of Arcadia, you wouldn’t do it for yourself.”
I laughed.
All the soldiers, including myself.
I found out the truth about Isabel.
Because she was not a very strong person, no one opposed her decision to leave for the Demon World.
She once again tried to sacrifice herself as a saint.
Even though they knew that following her would mean inviting death, Leo and the soldiers wanted to protect Isabelle until the end.
It was loyalty.
I didn’t want to give her, who sacrificed herself for humanity, at least the miserable feeling of being alone.
“Wow.”
I spat out blood.
Leo’s complexion became pale again, and he looked at Isabelle with blurry eyes.
“Queen. I wanted you to be happy. Not as a saint, but as a human Isabel. I can’t fulfill that wish… … .”
I couldn’t say any more.
Leo, who was struggling to continue speaking, lowered his head without being able to finish saying he was sorry.
finished.
Everyone is dead.
Isabelle was left alone and had no way to live.
“I’m sorry everyone. But so that your sacrifice will not be in vain, she, as Saint Isabel, will not ignore reality.”
I stepped on the sword and stood up.
I wiped my blood-stained face.
will die
Even if I die, I will kill at least one more person.
Some may say it was foolish, but this was the life she chose as Saint Isabel.
* * *
And now.
I was cornered.
For the first time, the commander of the 3rd Corps appeared before my eyes, and was cornered by the monsters under his command.
Flash.
Crumbling.
“Keeeeeeek.”
“Keeek.”
The monsters were swept away in one go.
The divine power that pierced through the dark clouds was very powerful, but even after dealing with hundreds of monsters, more monsters filled the empty space.
I was out of breath.
His entire body was already in such disarray that it was difficult to find a safe place, and his blood-soaked hair had lost its original, brilliant color.
thud.
Thump, thump.
The world was shaken.
Seeing the 3rd Corps commander approaching, Isabel felt a tremendous amount of pressure that she had never felt before.
“Human bitch. I was able to survive for a while thanks to God’s favor, but this is a world where God’s intervention is not allowed. So accept reality. We will exterminate all humans on earth, including you, and the world you worked so hard to protect will be reduced to a pastime for us to enjoy.”
Dimensional discipline.
I didn’t care about that.
The phenomenon caused by the collapse of the dimension was actually the future they hoped for.
finished.
Looking at the huge monster stained in black light, Isabelle knew that she could not hold out any longer.
suddenly.
I remembered what Leo said.
That day, Leo said this to Isabel, who was having a hard time.
“Queen. Don’t try to carry everything. Even if the Queen were to lay down the heavy burden of being an oracle. “Humans will somehow find a new way, as proven by repeated history.”
I didn’t answer that.
I laughed without saying a word.
Leo thought that Isabel could not let go of her burden as a saint, but his true feelings were actually different.
One day.
Isabel heard about Roman Dmitry.
The life he has lived, the actions he shows, and a strength that is different from his own.
Looking at his refusal to back down from dealing with Alexander, Isabel felt that maybe she was not the main character of the oracle.
One who represents God’s will. You yourself do not have the power to achieve the goal desired by God.
However, it was possible for Roman Dmitry, who was born into a simple baronial family and achieved unbelievable achievements.
I looked at the sky.
I put my hands together and waited for an answer, but God didn’t say anything.
Then I realized.
That he was not the main character.
The fact that he might just be used to buy time until Roman Dmitri appears.
but.
He was also a thousand people.
Accepted God’s will.
Isabelle wanted people to be happy.
Even though he may not be the person that people want from the oracle, he wanted to be faithful to the life he had been living.
That was Isabel’s life.
She was called a saint from the moment she was born and was hailed as the savior of mankind, but a life where she selfishly thought about individuals was unthinkable.
Even though I know I’m not the main character.
I entered the demon world.
Even though she was bleeding and in pain, she believed that what she was doing was right.
It’s for humanity.
And when he fell, he was able to laugh at the fact that Roman Dmitry was behind him.
“… … “I’m going to kill you.”
Rumbling.
Raised divine power.
The demon world and the earthly world.
It is a separate dimension.
He knew that if he accepted the power of God more than this, his body would not be safe due to the rules of the dimension.
The rules of the dimension are not simply established by God. It was created by something in the beginning, and God took on the role of managing it.
“upstart.”
thud.
The 3rd Corps commander approached.
It had a huge body covered in muscle, and a monster-shaped face with red eyes.
He created magic.
The magic power that shimmered in the darkness was amplified explosively, and attempted to counter Isabel’s power head-on.
A situation of imminent action.
It was then.
Flash.
Rumbling.
A distance of dozens of steps.
With a tremendous roar, the border of the dimension was suddenly torn apart.
* * *
Moment.
The situation was not organized in my head.
Isabel forgot reality for a moment and looked at the space being torn apart as if a dimensional door had been opened.
And saw.
It shouldn’t appear here.
A situation I could never have imagined.
“How did you get here…” … .”
Jump and jump.
Beyond the dimensional rift.
Roman Dmitry appeared.
