Chapter 912
## Chapter 912
Â
A tone clearly closer to an order than a warning.
Â
Kun stared at Luna without hiding his displeasure. Even within Zipple, aside from Beradin and Elona, there was no one else who could speak to him with such impoliteness.
Â
‘What’s with the commanding tone? So what if you’re White Whale?’
Â
Luna remained expressionless in the face of Kun’s hostile gaze.
Â
‘….. No, listening to what you just said, even your side should avoid conflict with us as much as possible? So why are you looking for a fight like this?’
Â
With each passing moment, Kun had a multitude of thoughts running through his head.
Â
‘What is this, if I don’t back down, are we really going to fight? Geez, that’s a big burden. It goes against the Patriarch’s orders… and, most importantly, can I really win if we fight? When I heard the rumors, it seemed feasible, but now that I’ve met her in person… She’s quite formidable. Isn’t she really the Genesis Knight?’
Â
It’s a burden. Kun was starting to regret his staring contest with Luna. Instead of provoking her, he should have calmly ordered his troops to withdraw. Now, if he backed down, it would be a matter of honor.
Â
“Hey, Kun. Didn’t you hear what the First Flagbearer said? Should I remind you?”
Â
As soon as Luntia spoke, Kun almost showed an expression of surprise.
Â
Unlike Luna, Luntia exuded a sharp killing intent from her entire body, as if she could tear Kun apart at this very moment. The protective shield of the Zipple fleet even vibrated in response to this killing intent.
Â
Kun calmed his startled heart and lowered his head.
Â
“Hmm! Geez, you’re not even a hooligan, but I’m scared to death. Anyway, until we kill the public enemy, there’s nothing good about fighting like this without manners.”
Â
“Runcandel and Zipple aren’t exactly known for their manners. Both of you are hooligans. Isn’t that right, little master?”
Â
“… That’s right, Third Flagbearer. The First Flagbearer only gave Zipple a chance to preserve their fleet, but it seems like you’re overdoing it.”
Â
“Ugh! Fine, you win. You win. I guess the more reasonable side has to give in. Zipple fleet, retreat. We’ll regroup after the front is settled.”
Â
In the end, Kun issued the order. Cold sweat dripped down his back. As soon as the fleet retreated, Luna smiled at him.
Â
“A wise decision. I’ll remember this, Kun.”
Â
Kun didn’t respond and returned to the bridge of his flagship.
Â
“Well done, Commander of the Magical Golem Corps,” said the water dragon Thiel as he stood beside Kun.
Â
“Whew, at least since the White Whale turned fifteen, we’ve had this saying among our Zipple clan. Never fight Luna Runcandel unless she makes a fatal mistake.”
Â
As soon as Thiel finished speaking, hundreds of meteor showers rained down from the sky beyond the bridge. The purple protective shield that surrounded the entire right defensive line shattered like glass, and most of the demons who came to counterattack were swept away by the meteor shower and blast waves, vanishing without a trace.
Â
“Oh my God… What is this? For once, I thought it was Lady Elona? She’s crazy, absolutely crazy.”
Â
“Don’t feel ashamed about that. It’s actually commendable that you made a proper retreat against the White Whale.”
Â
As if the meteor shower wasn’t enough, Luna demonstrated overwhelming power with Heaven Shatterer and completely shattered the demons’ protective shields.
Â
In just over ten seconds, she completely destroyed the front line of the right defensive line. Of course, the massive blast waves were still hitting Zipple’s protective shield far behind.
Â
It was clear to Kun that if he had let his pride get the better of him and hadn’t ordered his fleet to retreat, things could have taken a different turn.
Â
“Since Ms. Thiel said that, I feel a little relieved. Well, she said they would take care of the annoying things first, so there was no need to object.”
Â
“That’s right, Commander of the Magical Golem Corps. The bear takes the honey, and we show off our skill… No, it’s the other way around. The bear shows off its skill, and we take the honey. We just need to do our part and secure the biggest share when the time is right.”
Â
Kun and Thiel laughed like fools, clapping each other on the back. However, every now and then, they would flinch and stop laughing when they felt a strong shock from Luna’s direction.
Â
“Clear the way. You little ones can’t stop us anyway.”
Â
Luntia shouted as she released the energy of her sword. The True Demon World battleship was split in half by the energy of her sword, and the explosion of its energy sources engulfed nearby demons in flames.
Â
The battle continued with Luna and Luntia breaking through each side, unleashing a one-sided massacre.
Â
Syris, along with Mort, positioned themselves behind Luna and Luntia, tirelessly creating the ice foothold for them to step on. Sometimes, she would create snowstorms to bind the enemies in one place, making it easier for the Flagbearers to kill them.
Â
It may seem like a trivial role, but it wasn’t. Predicting the speed and trajectories of the Runcandel Flagbearers and creating appropriate footholds at every moment required excellent vision to read the flow of battle.
Â
“Block them! Block them with your bodies to delay their entry for even a second!”
Â
The commander who gave that order met a swift death due to his own voice revealing his location. The Flagbearers didn’t indiscriminately massacre the enemies but prioritized eliminating those with commanding authority. This was to ensure that the enemy couldn’t issue tactical orders. Even if they had a large army, without proper leadership, they would be nothing more than a mess.
Â
Realizing this fact, the demon commanders hesitated to give orders. Even making a sound could result in their throats being slit or their bodies being torn apart.
Â
¡Sw-Swoosh-!
Â
As a result, the demons started using signal flares, but even that didn’t work.
Â
Before the signal flares could fire into the sky to transmit their message, the Flagbearers’ swords had already knocked them down.
Â
In a matter of seconds, hundreds of demons were being killed every second. Despite the chaotic battle with fresh troops constantly replacing the fallen, Luna and Luntia never lost the location of the signal flares.
Â
In other words, the demons gathered on the right front line couldn’t communicate with each other despite their large numbers. They felt like they were trapped not in a battlefield but in darkness.
Â
Furthermore, the right defensive line had relatively weaker demons deployed compared to the other defensive lines. This was because the main force of the Vamel Alliance, the Lutero Magical Federation, and Kinzelo were directly attacking other defensive lines.
Â
Although the demonic troops numbered in the billions, most of them still hadn’t come out of hell.
Â
In other words, with only this amount of troops on the surface, there will inevitably be a gap in the defenses of Grosch Castle.
Â
“You’ve been bothering us with your numbers and transfer fractures, and it seems like you’re finally revealing your weaknesses. Even though the forces of the human world have started to attack Grosch Castle directly, there’s no increase in fractures in our territory, so it’s clear.”
Â
Luna said as she landed a blow on the back of the fleeing demon commander. Her crimson sword aura pierced his flesh and tormented him.
Â
“¡Kraaaaah…!”
Â
“It seems like you’re more or less equivalent to a commander. But with so many subordinates, where were you planning to flee?”
Â
The demon commander couldn’t answer due to the unbearable pain caused by the crimson sword aura piercing his body. However, Luna didn’t expect or need an answer. She didn’t ask to hear his response.
Â
“What about Grosch Castle? You could try teleporting yourself to the castle with your fancy teleportation magic, but you’ll end up encountering me again sooner or later. Or your true underground headquarters? Even if you run there, you’ll eventually find me again.”
Â
“Khuuh…”
Â
“Whether on the surface or underground, there’s no land left in this world where you can run and survive. So, if possible, stand your ground and fight me honorably until you die. Wouldn’t it be a shame if your last memory before dying was nothing more than fleeing?”
Â
That deep voice instantly amplified and resonated across the entire battlefield. Not only the demons but also the Zipple fleet, which had started to cautiously move forward in the rear, were clearly listening.
Â
“Since none of you will seek mercy and surrender, you’ve already wasted the opportunity given by our young Patriarch. So, come at me with dignity, show me that there’s at least one among you who’s worthy of being taken down by Krantel.”
Â
Before the commander’s corpse had completely disintegrated due to the crimson aura, two more demon commanders were killed by the blows of Luna and Luntia, respectively.
Â
¡Suaaargh…!
Â
The expanding sword energy spread like a tidal wave, and countless infantry troops perished. Most of the demons couldn’t even recognize the swords of the Flagbearers who were killing them, only the voice of Luna was alive in their minds.
Â
Despite having massacred so many enemies, the two showed no signs of exhaustion. Not even their hair was wet, and their breathing remained calm.
Â
Within a radius of a thousand yards around them, there wasn’t a single demon alive. Only the corpses, burning or scattered into particles, flowed like a sandstorm.
Â
Even the demons several thousand yards away within their attack range were as good as dead, having already experienced death at the hands of the Flagbearers.
Â
The Flagbearers advanced forward, stepping on the ice foothold created by Syris. Every time they got closer, the demon soldiers on the defensive line retreated like frightened beasts.
Â
Before the Flagbearers even swung their swords, the ranks crumbled, and the commanders still couldn’t give orders.
Â
“Luntia.”
Â
“Yes, sister.”
Â
“Let’s pick up the pace from now on. It seems like the younger one is about to start breaking through the third defensive line, so we should speed up too. This defensive line is full of the weakest ones.”
Â
“It means not giving Zipple the chance to take any glory. Alright, we must be the protagonists of the story who conquered the True Demon World.”
Â
Luna and Luntia straightened their posture again with stoic expressions. As they began to raise their energy, the sea vibrated, and giant whirlpools formed around them.Â
