There was a scream of pain from the room below the stairs. Tobias guessed Gunnar had done something to them.
He and the spy woman began to walk closer to the stairs, looking down and witnessing the fight Gunnar was inevitably in.
"How many people are in this place?" Tobias asked.
"About six people, including our group leader," replied the woman beside Tobias.
The man quickly walked down the stairs. He walked right behind the spy woman, preventing her from escaping. The groans of agony were relentless, growing louder by the second.
Just as Tobias arrived at the basement, his eyes saw something horrifying yet tragic. Gunnar's military shirt was stained with the blood of the slain criminals, while Karin and Laura were trying to heal the people who had been kidnapped by this group.
"What's going on here?" asked Tobias.
Gunnar turned his head quickly to Tobias. Now, not only was his face red, but so were his eyes. Gunnar's

Divine Sword Art System Chapter 154. Valcke's Sycophant Confession
Tobias pulled a wooden chair over to the small prison, allowing the spy group leader Valcke to see him. He came with a cart of scrolls with blue ribbons, about to read and confirm it to the woman."So, the rumors of internal conflict in their kingdom turned out to be true," Tobias replied."It happened in the fifth month after they captured Atrea's territory. Two princes wanted to use the Atrea territory as different bases; the first wanted to use it as a production base, while the second used it as a military base," the woman replied. Tobias knew the name of the woman before him, Enzy."Is this why the dispute within the Valcke Kingdom is over the right to use Atrea's territory?" asked Tobias."More than that," Enzy replied.Enzy's words brought big attention from Tobias, his eyes squinted sharply with his gaze fixed on the woman."More? Is it because they both want power?" asked Tobias. Enzy nodded."The two Valcke princes are twins
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 155. Take Advantage
Tobias stepped out of the room inside the stone first. The air inside was stale and humid, unlike when he set foot outside the stone.From behind, Laura stepped out along with the soldier who came with her. Tobias looked back, checking on Enzy's condition."Burn the place down," Tobias said.Laura nodded. She turned around again, stretching her arms forward with a red magic circle appearing in the air. Ancient script adorned the magic runes that continued to spin clockwise.There was an intense burst of fire after Laura cast the fire magic spell. The inside began to burn quickly, as most furniture and items were wood.The fire burned quickly, spreading to every place until it created black smoke rising from inside. When it was enough, Laura stepped back as she deactivated her fire magic; the flames stopped.Enzy didn't react at all, considering Tobias had defeated her. She could only surrender her life to Tobias; whether he would let her die.The stone door was tightly closed. There w

***Two days later.The door of Tobias' temporary residence was knocked softly by some soldiers. He was still in his room, more precisely in front of the mirror, as he was getting ready."My apologies, Lord Tobias. They're ready," the soldier said, afraid to enter and only speaking directly from behind the door."Fine. I'll be there in a moment," Tobias replied firmly.The soldier nodded. Stepping away to return to his line. With one last touch, Tobias was fully prepared in his black military shirt, trousers, and signature white furry coat."I have to do it."Tobias turned around, his feet raised as he strode towards the doorway of his temporary residence. His right hand reached out to grab the doorknob and opened it firmly.The morning sunlight was warm, and the soldiers' faces were serious and eager.Laura and Edgar were seen outside Tobias' house, while Liam, Gunnar, Karin, and Adrian were elsewhere. Following the previously discussed strategy plan, Tobias, along with Laura and Edg
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 157. Seize the City
Hearing Tobias say this made the hearts of Valcke's troops begin to tremble in fear, their pale faces clearly visible before Tobias. The huge difference in strength between Tobias and them made the gulf of fear even more obvious to Valcke's soldiers.Screams of pain could be heard from every corner of the building; Tobias' troops had managed to find the mages. Because of Tobias' anti-magic power, they couldn't avoid physical attacks.Some of the mages were thrown from the high-floored building, their bodies crashing to the ground until some of their bodies were scattered everywhere; the sight further discouraged Valcke's troops.Not only were the screams of suffering heard at Tobias' location, but he also heard hundreds of screams from the right and left of his body. Tobias smiled widely, pleased to find Edgar and Laura doing the same as Tobias."Looks like they've got this one under control," Tobias replied."Attack them!" Tobias ordered.The troops who had been protecting Tobias beg

"Haha, you're giving me too much credit," Tobias replied."But their words are based on the strength you showed earlier. No one else can do that except you," praised a woman, a medic soldier who was still in Tobias' tent."I'm human. I can bleed and dying just like you, for example, right now," Tobias said."Tell the others, start cutting the rumors. Even if you don't understand the risks, it might cause more trouble if more people believe it," Tobias continued.A witch clapped her hands once, her eyes crossed with her mouth open in an 'O' shape. The woman knew what Tobias meant."The founding of a new religion," the woman replied."That's right. That's what I'm afraid of. So, just act normal and pretend I'm someone who works hard so I can do something like that," Tobias said.The two women before Tobias nodded. They certainly didn't want anything bad to happen; the chaos caused by the new religion was far worse than a war between kin
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 159. Pathetic Wish
Hooktown was completely in Archibald's hands; the troops spread out to several places according to their groups. Some infantry soldiers were also on standby at places prone to attack, such as the border gate and forest edge.Tobias stopped riding, dismounted, and stepped closer to a wooden house where Heimer had stayed for a while. Laura and Edgar followed where Tobias went."You've chosen a nice house, My Lord," Laura replied, liking the taste of the house's furniture."Someone I know lived in it before the invasion. I quite like this house," Tobias said."Since there are three rooms, how about you stay with me? It's quite lonely if I live alone," Tobias pleaded."I have no problem with that, Lord Tobias," Edgar explained.Tobias smiled widely. The young man's eyes began to dart towards Laura, as did Edgar, standing next to the woman.Laura gasped, then smiled, "If you don't mind, I'll stay here.""Alright. You'd better start putting your gear away in your respective rooms," Tobias r
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 160. The Real Purpose
Gabriel, who heard Tobias' arrogant statement, began to walk closer to the man. The troops around Tobias began to alert, pulling out their swords and pointing them at Gabriel.The man's steps were stopped when several soldiers, more than the three, drew their weapons. Their gazes looked serious, defending Tobias' status, pride, and even life from dangerous people."They are from Equestria, born and raised there. What a pity you have to obey a man like him, a selfish man who only cares about his own interests!" groaned Gabriel.None of the soldiers near Tobias were fazed by Gabriel's words. Instead, they recalled the response from Equestria when Tobias asked for their help."We'd rather listen to someone like Tobias than follow cowards like you," said one of the soldiers, bringing a big smile to Tobias' face."WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" groaned Edgar Ludwig. He couldn't take it when someone called him a coward.The noble heir to the House of Ludwig

The city government office doors opened, the people in the meeting room immediately turned their eyes to the young man who just arrived. Tobias smiled, stepping inside and waving at them."Sorry, I'm late. There are a few things I need to do first," Tobias explained.Laura turned her body around, facing him fully, "Let me guess, you went to visit those three, right?""I've never doubted a sorcerer's guess," Tobias complimented, causing Laura to blush and giggle.The young man moved on until he reached his chair, the one in the center of the table. Edgar began to open the discussion, Laura, Tobias, and the squad's soldier leader began to listen."Now that we've taken the city, it wouldn't be a bad idea to start discussing the plan to attack Silkland," Edgar replied.He took a medium-sized scroll of paper from below, unfurling it on the meeting table where it was a map of the western region, Atrea. Tobias could see the map clearly, as well as

Chapter 255. The Everlasting Promises
Tobias looked faintly behind him, seeing thousands of human troops trying to chase Renna, who flew quickly to the east, back to the border area between the Forbidden Territory and the Human Territory.Tobias' right hand could be seen tightly grasped by Renna's left hand, while Aurora could be seen carried by the right. The two people left the place at high speed."I did exactly what you wanted. What's next?" asked Renna, curious.Renna continued flying with the help of her two black wings. Directed forward with the condition that she had left the troops of mankind.While flying freely, Renna occasionally glanced back, trying to ascertain Tobias' next plan.However, Tobias did not show any response, still silent, with both eyes directed forward to the rocky mountains rather than Renna's sights.As Renna flew over the rocky mountains, the lush green countryside with trees was clearly visible in Tobias' eyes. It indicated that Tobias was now in human territory."Where are you taking me,

Chapter 254. Guilt Atonement
Aerith did not hesitate to attack Tobias with all the power she had, with the mana capacity the woman had not so much anymore, the impact of the previous use of the palace's protective magic."Akihiko! Listen to me," Tobias insisted, asking Aerith to talk to him."You killed my husband! I won't forgive you," Aerith cried.With two magic circles appearing in front of Aerith's palms, dark black magic balls with a reddish-black color rushed towards Tobias' body.Tobias was able to deflect them easily, using his katana sword as if he was playing a game of baseball with Aerith. The magic balls flew in random directions, then exploded with a significant blast.Aurora looked terrified, taking cover behind Aerith's back with both Aurora's eyes closed. Tobias occasionally looked at Aurora, the little girl shouldn't be in a place like this."You shouldn't let Aurora see this fight," Tobias pleaded.Aerith stopped her attack on Tobias, looked back and saw Aurora who was trembling in fear with bo

Chapter 253. The Dangers of Sultur
"So, you want to get in my way?" asked Tobias, pointing his sword forward."No one is allowed to come near our King and Queen!" groaned one of the werewolves.It leapt powerfully forward, both hands and feet full of claws. Tobias parried each of the werewolf's claws with his katana, the monster's attacks were powerful enough, but not enough to defeat Tobias.Not only by itself, but the werewolf seemed to be assisted by several people, two representatives of the superior races in the Mythological Kingdom. A centaur walked over with his right hand pulling out a large sword, swinging at Tobias' head.Tobias was pushed back, the blade of his katana was blocking the attack of the monster's claws before him, so he had nothing to do but put his faith in the golden armor he wore. Tobias spun around, seemingly turning his back to the werewolf without changing the grip of the sword in his right hand. Tobias' left hand stretched out to the side, blocking the centaur's sword strike with the fing

Chapter 252. Battle Inside The Palace
Tobias was still seated on his horse, focusing both eyes forward to the Mythology Kingdom palace where Aerith and the other officials were taking refuge.Liam was now near Tobias, focusing equally on the palace. Liam's eyes narrowed, never before had he seen people from different races in the Forbidden Territory come together to fight humanity."Are we going to fight them all?" Liam asked."If we don't want the chain of hatred between the two sides to grow again, then we must fight them," Tobias said firmly.He dismounted, stepping closer to the palace gates that seemed to be protected by something. The people inside the palace were on alert, especially after seeing the man in golden armor walking closer.Tobias' hand stretched forward, trying to touch the magic barrier. Just as his fingers made contact, a spark of electricity and fire was created that startled Tobias.Tobias' eyes squinted hard, seeing the white smoke from his finger's contact with the magic wall."Are you okay?" ask

Chapter 251. Northern Gate Assault
Hearing Tobias' impassioned cry made all the soldiers flare up with excitement. They shouted loudly, raising their swords, bows and spears in the hope that the war would end in this battle.Gunnar led the troops that would attack at the center gate. Their main goal was not to penetrate that place, but rather to distract the Mythology Kingdom's troops from the north gate.Just as Edgar led the troops to attack the southern gate. In this battle, three armies of humanity will besiege the capital from three entry points: north, center, and south.Gunnar led the army with Adrian and Karin, while Edgar was alone with Laura. However, Tobias had asked Laura to use her illusion magic. He wanted the mythology troops to know that Tobias was in the troops attacking the southern gate.The focus of the Mythology Kingdom troops will be on Tobias, because only he can determine the course of this war. If Laura managed to display Tobias' projection at the southern gate, then it was certain that the Myt

Chapter 250. Rumbling War
Seeing that the banyan tree territory was completely controlled by the dwarves made Tobias' heart happy. The dwarves shouted with joy, some cried with emotion while hugging each other.One of the lead dwarves walked up to Tobias. He raised a hat similar to a magic cone and lowered it while bowing his head.Not only did he do this, but the other dwarves did the same. They paid their highest respects to Tobias, who was a human, in his attempt to reclaim the sacred place for them."Thank you, Mr. Tobias. We dwarves will always be indebted to humans," the dwarf replied.Tobias, who was still sitting upright on his mount, dismounted, stepped up to the dwarf and reached forward, asking both parties to shake hands."Welcome to your true home. Keep your promise not to participate in this war," Tobias said.The dwarf cast both eyes downward, looking at Tobias' right hand that was pointed forward. The dwarf in front of Tobias smiled widely with a nod of his head, shaking Tobias with both hands.

Chapter 249. Battle under Tree
In the end, Tobias agreed with the dwarves on a plan of attack. However, the dwarves wanted to give a special condition. They wanted when the attack on the Mythological Kingdom Capital happened, he wanted all the dwarves to have left their city.In short, they wanted Tobias to liberate the promised area immediately. Once the area was free of wild elves, then Tobias could freely attack the capital.Gunnar, who happened to still be beside Tobias, spontaneously asked about the requirement. Tobias turned his face to the side, staring intently at the man."We'll carry out the terms well," Tobias said."But with whom? It will take about half a day to mobilize the troops there," Gunnar replied.Tobias shook his head as his eyes star

Chapter 248. Negotiate with Dwarves
Tobias' head kept moving to the right and left, seeing how many Mythology troops were guarding the gate of the capital connected to the city of the dwarves.Not so much; there were probably only about 1000 people, in contrast to the gate in the center where there were probably about 5000 to 10,000 mythological troop soldiers.Liam and Gunnar did the same, looking around the surrounding area as Tobias had done. However, they were not paying attention to the soldiers above the gate but to the dwarves in that place."If the dwarves fight too, then we'll have a hard time," Liam replied softly."You're right. The dwarves are good at using magic. Their abilities are almost comparable to the elves," Renna added, turning her head to the side to look at Tobias.
