◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

The ramparts boasting impregnability collapsed, and the towering spires like old trees crumbled.

It was unbelievable.

Even seeing it with his own eyes, it was unbelievable.

The fight between the heroes who had led the Racial War to victory shook the Immortal Fortress.

The knights of the Boemon Kingdom, who had been watching the scene from beyond the ramparts, looked at the sight with eyes filled with wonder.

“I was wondering why you called me to such a dismal place… It was for this!”

“After all, a fitting stage is necessary to deceive the world.”

He understood.

Why Regnas had chosen the Immortal Fortress as the place for their reunion.

It was to inform the world.

The shocking truth that the Saintess Party, who had subjugated the Demon King, had betrayed humanity.

Through Regnas’ actions to sensationally amplify the situation, he guessed his intentions.

Edanant gritted his teeth and glared at Regnas, who was standing on a pile of debris.

“Fine, if that’s what you guys truly want…!”

The blade of Aldebaran was dyed in a brilliant golden light.

He unleashed the holy sword.

The brilliant golden radiance enveloping him was proving it.

Yes.

Applause requires both hands to clap together to make a sound.

Regnas, who had drawn out Edanant’s sincerity, smiled with a satisfied expression and raised the tip of his sword.

Then, with a fierce shockwave, crimson sword energy surged.

“…It reminds me of when we first met.”

“How could you forget?”

As soon as they finished speaking, gold and crimson clashed.

No more hesitation was necessary.

Thinking so, Edanant swung his sword at Regnas without hesitation.

“I won’t use my full power yet.”

He grasped the sword hilt with both hands.

The atmosphere changed.

And the air became even heavier.

The Sword Saint’s strike was coming.

The crimson sword energy swirling like a vortex around the blade.

Edanant, witnessing it, easily discerned Regnas’ attack.

Clang──!!

A heavy impact, like a battering ram striking down, was applied simultaneously as the sword strike was blocked.

At that, Edanant gracefully flowed his strength and took a step forward.

“As expected, you remember the parrying technique.”

“Because you taught me.”

Ominous slashes that seemed to cut off his neck at any moment poured in.

However, despite the imminent situation, Edanant and Regnas swung their swords while recalling past memories.

The precious comrade had now become an enemy.

That’s why their hearts became heavier with each swing of the sword.

Clash-! Clash──!!

Consecutive strikes followed.

Each time, the ramparts swept up in the sword dance continued to collapse.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Boemon Kingdom guarding the fortress had been withdrawn.

If the soldiers had been at their posts as usual, they would have become minced meat beyond recognition.

“Ugh…!”

“You haven’t rusted.”

If he hadn’t recalled his combat senses while facing the cult forces all this time, he would have shown an unsightly appearance and knelt before the Sword Saint.

The consecutive hardships had paid off.

Edanant smiled bitterly at the ironic situation and readjusted his grip on the sword hilt.

‘Still ferocious, the sword energy of Aldebaran…’

Regnas, who had been unleashing heavy slashes like a mountain, looked at his wrist, feeling a tingling pain.

On his wrist, there was a subtle scar, as if cut by paper.

If he hadn’t wrapped his entire body in mana like armor, the holiness of Aldebaran would have penetrated his body.

And the holiness that had successfully penetrated would have created a malignant tumor by endlessly stimulating regeneration.

He mustn’t let his guard down.

A momentary gap might lead to defeat.

Even after 3 years had passed, the Warmonger’s sword energy was still sharp.

“Where is Maximilian?”

“He’s probably waiting for the right moment.”

“That damn guy who threw the aftermath on me and ran away. If it were that notorious scoundrel, I would have cut off his head with a single stroke.”

“…Scary.”

Regnas, who had confirmed the brotherly bond, stepped back with a meaningful smile.

And as if he was about to say something, he opened his mouth but soon closed it.

Is there something he wants to say?

Edanant waited for Regnas’ response while calming his rough breathing.

“Actually, Max was supposed to step in. It’s a pity for Edan, who had been looking forward to a reunion with his brother.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?”

Is it a provocation to get on his nerves?

No,

The noble Sword Saint wouldn’t do such a thing.

Originally, Maximilian was supposed to be deployed to the Immortal Fortress.

Edanant pressed the iron mask covering his face as if expressing his displeasure at Regnas’ words.

“Our chat has been long. Let’s fight again.”

“……”

With the sound of a short inhale, the sword tips clashed.

They had talked enough.

From now on, they would fight until the other collapsed.

Gold and crimson flashed again.

Even though the opponent was the Sword Saint, he persisted in close combat until the end.

At that, Regnas unleashed several sharper sword strokes, urging Edanant to bring out his full power.

‘Damn it…! His sword speed is getting faster.’

If he were just a mediocre layman, he wouldn’t even be able to gauge the sword speed.

The thrusting sword speed increased.

The swinging sword speed was also proportionally increasing.

If they continued the exchange, he would eventually break the speed of sound.

Edanant skillfully blocked Regnas’ attacks, but his limits were clear.

It could be inferred from the distinct sword marks that appeared on the rusty iron mask and worn-out armor.

If he summoned the divine status of the Disaster God, he could instantly turn the disadvantageous situation around.

However, concerned about the mutually destructive situation, Edanant hesitated to manifest the divine status until the end.

Clang───!!!

Edanant tilted his head back and dodged the sword strike.

Having lost its target, the sword strike cut down the spire that had been standing firm despite the continuous impacts.

With a resounding boom, the spire collapsed to the ground like a doll with its strings cut.

“Bring out the Disaster God of War, Edan.”

“……”

“From now on, we are enemies. Yet you still have lingering attachments.”

“…Shut your mouth.”

Even while performing the dangerous feat of dodging and parrying the slashes that bisected the ramparts and spires, he didn’t break his stubbornness.

If he activated the divine status, one of them would inevitably die.

Hesitation is death.

Even knowing that, he kept getting caught up in lingering attachments.

If Maximilian had been present, he would have clicked his tongue and sneered.

He would have muttered, “A completely spineless guy,” while showing an ice-cold expression.

“Then I will bring out my full power first.”

“……”

The Sword Saint’s blade, which had boasted a vivid crimson color, darkened like a fierce flame.

It meant that he would now go all out.

Blood Shadow Sword.

It was the secret technique of the Sword Saint, who had slain numerous great demons of the Demon Realm.

Just by displaying the blood-colored sword energy, an overwhelming pressure was applied.

Edanant felt a fear as if his throat was being grabbed at the sight of Regnas, who had lowered the tip of the Blood Shadow Sword.

“…Still pathetic.”

When the Sword Saint grasped the sword hilt with a hesitant hand,

A sarcastic voice was heard.

At the same time, Regnas, who had been facing a tragic decision, was pushed back.

“This is why I said I would step in.”

A new figure appeared at the scene where the impregnable fortress had been devastated.

The man who had instantly taken Regnas’ back clicked his tongue and took a step forward.

Neatly combed black hair.

Golden eyes, similar to Edanant’s, shone sharply like a bird of prey.

Edanant’s face contorted messily upon seeing the man.

The young man who had suddenly appeared and stopped the imminent situation was the mortal enemy who had broken off his engagement with the Platinum Princess and brought the Hohenberc family to the brink of destruction.

As if to show that, Edanant spewed out his rage while raising the veins on his neck.

“Maximilian!!”

As soon as he let out a shout, he summoned the Disaster God of War.

Then, fine particles like black gunpowder surged upward, covering Edanant’s entire body.

The divine will of the Disaster God had descended.

Regnas looked at the pitch-black figure with perplexed eyes.

Edanant, who had been so reluctant to engage in an all-out war, withdrew his stubbornness as soon as Maximilian appeared.

The countless firearms deployed in the air announced the commencement of the all-out war.

Then, Maximilian maintained his stoic expression and drew one of the holy swords he had at his waist.

“I’m beside myself with such a warm welcome.”

“Shut up, you bastard!”

The main male protagonist of the romance fantasy novel “The Lady of White Blessings” and the companion who had promised to marry the female protagonist Beatrice.

The Hero.

Maximilian Argon Hohenberc.

The strongest hero who had granted eternal rest to the immortal Demon King appeared with a calm demeanor.

Edanant, confirming the brazen face like a shameless person, moved the firearms without a moment’s hesitation.

And he tried to unleash a barrage of attacks on all the space within 200 yards centered around Maximilian.

“I’ve been waiting for the moment to cremate you with my own hands!”

“…It seems my brother is so delighted to reunite with me after a long time.”

Thousands of guns and cannons of various types lit up like bright lanterns.

Firepower capable of instantly reducing human nations to the Stone Age was concentrated.

The punishment of the Disaster God was descending.

It evoked the unreasonable violence that war had inflicted upon humanity.

“……”

It was truly an astounding brotherly bond.

Regnas, who had been suddenly pushed to the back, sighed and looked at Maximilian.
