Chapter 1065: 16.111 First Red Star - Reunion and Departure.

During breakfast, Fenrir Skoll and Ca.s.sius Ambrosia have a brief conversation.

The circle mahogany table, polished to perfection and placed in the mansion's dining room, is now full of dishes. Fenrir Skoll and Ca.s.sius Ambrosia were happily eating breakfast when Ca.s.sius Ambrosia abruptly spoke up.

"Don't look into that man any longer; if you find him, you won't be able to harm him at all," Ca.s.sius Ambrosia advised.

Fenrir Skoll, perplexed, inquired, "Why, Ca.s.s? Do you not want me to catch that man?"

"Even if you catch him, it will be useless, so stop looking for him. Aren't you supposed to stay by my side? If so, stop thinking of another person!" Ca.s.sius Ambrosia exclaimed.

Fenrir Skoll was entertained by his beloved's reaction. This is the first time he has seen Ca.s.sius Ambrosia react in this manner. It was an act of possessiveness. Jealousy is felt when the person you love is preferred by someone else. Fenrir Skoll was overjoyed to see such a distinct emotion in his wife's silver eyes. It was a very familiar sensation. Jing'er, his beloved, is very possessive of himself. It's an obsession on par with his feelings for him.

Fenrir Skoll smiled heartily and quickly forgot about the man who had taken his wife from him while he slept. He can only see Ca.s.sius Ambrosia right now. This man is a vital component of his beloved's soul.

Smiling, "Okay. I will listen to you." Fenrir Skoll said.

The life of the couple is simple yet full of happiness and affection. They were completely detached from the ongoing war outside their own mansion.

Meanwhile, the battle between the undead and the living continues at Genus Academy. This time, high-ranking undeads infiltrated the battle. One of the undead took the form of a werewolf and attacked Conri Lycaon; his original target is Carnelian Dawn.

The second is an undead humanoid with a severed head. The rider is a dullahan on a black undead horse. His target is Asher Light, who was a.s.sisting Amber Dawn on the front lines.

Esther Dawn appeared to a.s.sist them in blocking. These two protagonists were more of a support warrior than a true fighter who could fight someone head-on.

The final one confronts Mayonaka Yoru, preventing him from a.s.sisting the others and keeping him occupied in the front. It's a little more difficult because Esther Dawn isn't there, but as a warrior with full battle experience, he's far stronger than Asher Light and Amber Dawn. However, it would be much easier if his lover was present.

Luciel Dawn noticed their situation and wanted to help, but the undead soldiers' movements began to become more coordinated, indicating that someone had taken control of them and was leading them. He noticed a slow-moving man in black armor with a pale face and emotionless expression not far away. He was dragging the ma.s.sive sword, leaving a ragged white line on the black land. Everyone, including him, was taken aback by the familiar face.

"This man is... Is he Cardinal Lemuel Elon?" Murmured Luciel Dawn.

I heard he turned undead and was personally turned into one by his younger brother, Kenan Light. There is no one stronger than Lemuel Elon, along with all the undead under the command of Kenan Light, who had become the devil. Luciel Dawn notices a significant difference in power between Lemuel Elon and the other three undead captains.

Luciel Dawn frowned and muttered, "He is in a cla.s.s of his own." He was about to issue a command to block this man when he suddenly vanished from their line of sight, catching everyone off guard.

A looming shadow appeared above their heads, and the Demon Lord who had vanished was standing there with a ma.s.sive sword poised to slice them from above. Luciel Dawn wore a solemn expression as his face turned white with fear. He immediately used all of his strength to form a barrier to stop the attack and even yelled a warning to those below.

Luciel Dawn shouted, "DODGE! LOOK OUT ABOVE!!!"

Those on his side moved to the side instinctively after hearing his voice. They were taken aback when a man in black armor with a clearly familiar face appeared out of nowhere. They were able to dodge, but the sword's force was so great that someone was bound to get hurt. Many of them had suffered, and some were so slow to flee that they lost a limb as a result of their carelessness.

AAAHHHH!

MY ARM! NO!! AGH! HELP ME... MY L-LEGS! NO, IT'S GONE... ARGH!!!

The disciples of the two former cardinals were astounded to learn that one of their masters had become undead and was now one of their greatest adversaries. The direct disciple of Lemuel Elon was overcome with emotion as he witnessed his Master's current state. White as blood, with black veins mapping on his skin, rigid and expressionless face, dead fish eyes with no emotional fluctuation, and merciless a.s.sault on his former family.

"M-Master!?"

"Stop! Don't go to him! He is no longer... No longer one of us!!!"

A few priests comforted one of their Senior Brothers. Who wouldn't be in pain seeing the person who sacrificed his life just to save him to be used like this even in his death?

"That devil didn't even let go of master after death! Ahh! I hate him. I hate him so much!!!"

"Don't just stop like that! Move! I will block him and pull away the injured ones!"

Luciel Dawn commanded but before he could attack Lemuel Elon, Miasma came out of his hand instantly capturing all those who were in the vicinity. He turned them instantly into an undead.

Grr~ growls~ Aarrrgg~

Luciel Dawn and the others in the area noticed the situation and thought everything was fine. The commander was forced to cast the Purification Spell, which instantly burned the newly burned undead to ashes. Unfortunately, this low-level Purification Spell barely burned the body of a Demon Lord like Lemuel Elon.

Despite the fact that the smoke and scent of something burning could be seen and smelled, Lemuel Elon became immobile under the effects of the spell and began attacking the other living beings in the area, forcing Luciel Dawn to block him one on one. The effects of the two's fight are far too powerful in comparison to the others. This fight caused chaos on the field, affecting both sides.

Mayonaka Yoru who was fighting another captain-cla.s.s undead noticed the effect of the fight between Luciel Dawn and Demon Lord Lemuel Elon.

"Old Man, leave the field! You are affecting the battle formation on our side!"

"Where are you looking, mutt!? Are you looking down on this lord!!" The undead knight attacks Mayonaka Yoru in his wolf form only to receive a kick from him.

Luciel Dawn has also noticed that his battle with Lemuel Elon is causing too much chaos in the war zone and is having a negative impact on his comrades in the area. The injured had greatly increased as a result of their exchange of moves. As a result, Asher Light had to concentrate his healing abilities while Amber Dawn protected him. Amber can heal people, but her ability is inferior to that of Asher Dawn, the holy son.

He can only conjure a chain around Lemuel Elon's neck, attempting to pull him away from the crowd, but who would have guessed that this man would suddenly throw away his large sword in the direction of Asher Light and the priests, who are staying with the injured one?

"NO!!!" Luciel Dawn screamed.

There's only a thin barrier of light around Asher Light and the Priests which was destroyed immediately the moment the blade pierced through it.

"As.h.!.+ NO! RUN!!!" screamed Amber Dawn.

"d.a.m.n it!"

Asher Light conjured some protection spells, but whenever that sword touched the barriers, they instantly broke, as if a mirror punched through them. Amber Dawn used her wood and dark element to try to stop the sword. But wood is too weak against metal, and darkness only amplifies the sword's effects. Before the sword could reach them, all priests formed a barrier in front of Asher Light. Their sacrifice would be worthwhile as long as the Holy Son is alive. Asher Light struggled to pull away his friends who were attempting to protect him with their own bodies, the corner of his eyes turning red in despair as he screamed like a lost child.

"Stop! No! Get away!!!" Asher Light is in despair as he can almost see his friends' bodies being stabbed by the huge sword before his eyes.

Who would have guessed that at the last moment, someone they hadn't expected to see would appear in front of him and the young priests, blocking the sword with his body? It was a man dressed as a beggar, but once his light blonde hair was revealed to the world, those who knew him and those who had seen him on the street before recognized him. This time, all the priests in the area had cried out in unison.

"N-No way! Master D-Darius!???"

Darius Rueden was the savior who was willing to give up his life to protect them. One of the former Cardinals who shared Lemuel Elon's strength. The man who had gone insane after losing his most important person. This man had longed to be ready to do this. He knew Lemuel Elon was imprisoned in his own body after learning that Kenan Light had turned him undead. Unable to reincarnate and unable to rest peacefully. The Holy Purification Spell is the only way to save an undead. This spell aids in the cleansing of both the body and the soul.

But Lemuel Elon was not just any ordinary undead. He had already attained the status of Demon Lord. Ordinary people can no longer kill him; the only way is for a hero or a saint to do so. There is no such thing as a hero in this world, but there is a saint. As a result, Darius Rueden turns around and smiles at his disciples before turning to face Asher Light.

"Your Highness... the holy son. This... servant pleads to... save us... both..." Darius Rueden begs Asher Light to kill him and Lemuel Elon. He was willing to die just to save the man who had been by his side since they were children.

Asher Light immediately recognized what the old man in front of him was pleading for. He can wield divinity for a brief moment as the Saint of this world. The Holy Sword of Judgement is a high-tier spell that defeats evil that can be used to kill a Demon Lord. This may not work against a Demon G.o.d like Kenan Light, but it is extremely useful against a Demon Lord like Lemuel Elon.

Asher Light made a serious decision at this time, his heart shook to its core. He nods his head, a helpless expression on his face, making the other priests cry even harder.

When he saw the holy son nod, Darius Rueden felt a wave of relief wash over him. He ignored their cries and simply smiled at them before drawing the sword that stabbed him through the body. Blood pours from his body like a waterfall, but his expression is calmer than before.

Darius Rueden murmured, "Thank you." He then cast wind elemental spells on himself and flew towards Lemuel Elon who was the Demon Lord.

Luciel Dawn had no idea what he was going to do, but he jumped away as soon as he saw Darius Rueden flying over. He noticed Asher Light emitting a strong aura of light and divinity when he saw him hug Lemuel Elon tightly. He immediately issued a command.

"Spread out!!"

As soon as he spoke those words, a ma.s.sive light sword appeared above Darius Rueden and Demon Lord Lemuel Elon. Everyone witnessed Darius Rueden's embrace of the Demon Lord.

He used his final visage and the Holy Chain on him and Lemuel Elon. He expected him to struggle to get away.

Darius Rueden said, "You are not going anywhere anymore, Lem! Just stay here with me!"

Surprisingly, the Demon Lord did not struggle. Instead, the imprisoned soul of Lemuel Elon finally broke free from Kenan Light's control when he saw his sword stabbed through Darius Rueden's body. With a peaceful smile, he trembled, reached out his hands, and drew Darius Rueden into his embrace.

He whispered, "Okay. I will stay with you. In this life and the next until the end."

"Stupid! You took too long to wake up." Darius Rueden said with a m.u.f.fled voice his face is full of tears as he cries.

"I'm sorry for everything."

"It's okay as long as you are back."

Noticing that Lemuel Elon awoke at the last possible moment. They hugged each other as if they were the only two people in the world. Everyone looks on as the Holy Sword of Judgement falls on the two and vanishes into nothingness.
