What looks close turns out to require more energy and effort to reach. Plus, with a hungry stomach.Mathias could only refrain from swearing and continued eastward.It wasn't until the sun was on its highest throne, that the man arrived in front of a large cave mouth."I found you at last!" he smiled with satisfaction even though he felt his legs were sore.From his position, the cave looked quite bright, and he could even feel the breeze blowing from inside to outside.There was probably another cave mouth somewhere, he thought.However, the moment Mathias had just stepped into the cave, he could immediately feel a very strong pressure."Wh-What kind of aura is this?" he gulped with a frown.I told you, didn't I?"Oh, damn old man," Mathias snorted warily. Step by step he forced his way into the great cave. "You just said 'if', nothing more!"At least, I warned you."This feels very oppressive," he said, occasionally looking to the right and left. "It's only natural that no living cr
Mathias was silent in his steps.However, he was aware of the change within him. Not in the immense magical power he had gained, nor in the fact that his right hand, which had once been stumped, was now whole again.But, it was his attitude and his passionate desire to find everyone involved in his sister's suffering and death. And avenge his sister's death in the most sadistic way he could think of.Mathias?"I don't know..."Then he saw the light ahead and the breeze that seemed to greet him.He smiled and stepped faster."This is..."There were no words for Mathias when he arrived at the end of the path directly connected to a giant space.The underground room was huge with giant pillars supporting the roof.He was even more astonished when he looked down."Is it all gold?"He didn't need to wait for an answer from anyone. He didn't need to ask because what he saw wasn't a hallucination.Oh, be careful, young man!“I know...”Mathias gulped as he watched the heaping piles of gold i
A century ago, monsters emerged from the Western Sea that we call the Demon Army, becoming the first wave of a massive attack on humanity. No one knew the cause of their appearance, nor the horrific attack itself.And since then, this magical world has never been the same.Phastyna, Uttara, both continents have been turned into hells. No humans lived there anymore... Yeah, except for those who became slaves or whatever was imposed on those who were captured.The Knights, Swordsmen, Archers, and Mages... they are all now concentrating in Svarnabhumi.And if, if... this central continent also eventually falls under the onslaught of the Demon Army, then the Dakhsina Continent as well as the Purbha where we live now is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.It would only be a bedtime story."Mathias!"A man at the age of 27 raised his face. "Y-Yes, Mr. Sami?"The middle-aged man stared intently at Mathias. "What do you think will happen after that, hmm?"Mathias shrugged. "Nothing!
"It's no use," Cindy said with a long sigh. "You haven't mastered a single magic, honey. As for Ryvel, he's already mastered second-level magic."Cindy accompanied Mathias as they left the Art Building where the Sami taught the younger generation the skills to become a knight, swordsman, archer, or mage."Thank you," Mathias tried to bring his lips to Cindy's.However, the girl did not seem to be in a good mood and moved away from his lips. The man sighed softly."Try harder," Cindy sighed deeply.The next second, the carriage moved under the watchful eye of a coachman, carrying Cindy away from Mathias' presence."Trust me, sweetheart," Mathias murmured. "I've tried as well and as hard as I could...""Mathias!" an 18-year-old girl ran out of the house. "You're home!"Mathias smiled widely. The bruises on his face he didn't care about at all. He welcomed the hug of the girl who was his sister.And that girl was the only reason why Mathias didn't want to leave the Land of Purbha forever
The fireball hit the ground, just a step behind Mathias who was hugging his sister, then exploded and created a hole in the ground.The explosion also threw Mathias and Alicia into the air and returned to the ground with a loud thud.Mathias was in excruciating pain all over his body, most notably, his burnt back.In the midst of it all, he still maintained some semblance of consciousness to find his little sister.He screamed her name but he could not hear because his hearing was ringing so loudly that it was almost deafening.When he found where Alicia had crashed, he tried to crawl over to her.However, several hands came to grab him and force him to stand up, then lifted him and carried him to one place.He still saw his little sister, albeit faintly, screaming again with her arms outstretched. He saw other people also lifting Alicia who seemed to be motionless.Then the cavalry and hundreds of other people came as if to prevent the Demon Army from moving further.The last thing M
"Sir," Mathias gulped. "But I―""No excuses, rookie!" the Knight scolded as he grabbed Mathias by the shoulders, forcing him to move. "Gather with the others, go!"Mathias' dazed steps amid his confusion, also worrying about his sister's condition, were drowned out by the steps of many others who were about to exit the great hall."Move, idiot!" someone pushed Mathias roughly. "You lousy rookie!""Get out!" someone shouted. "This building won't last much longer! Hurry up!""Hey, hey!" Mathias tried to keep up with the other rookies. "Hey, what's going on?"The young man in question frowned. "Where have you been?""No, I was just―""Don't you see?" said the youth. "The Demon Army has reached here. If you still want to stay inside this hall, be my guest! I don't want to die buried inside this hall!""Hey, did you see―" Mathias widened his eyes and stopped his steps.Some people were annoyed by Mathias deliberately stopping in the middle of the flow of people who were trying to find safe
But he didn't want to give up so easily. He continued to struggle and try his hardest until he was finally able to grab the tip of the spear with the clasp of his legs.With all his strength, he pulled out the spear and made the wyvern roar again, then quickly passed the spear to his free left hand."Die, you bastard!" he shouted. "Go to Hell!"Stab! Stab!Once, twice, and five times Mathias stabbed the wyvern in the stomach. The sixth stab accidentally hit the creature's chin as it tried to grab Mathias' spear with its jaws.Stab!The wyvern's blood was pouring out and with the spear embedded in its chin, it lost consciousness.And Mathias knew there was no way he would survive the fall from that height.Gravity took over as the wyvern no longer had the energy to flap its wings.Both of them fell very fast.Mathias screamed at the top of his lungs and the next moment, the wyvern was slammed hard into the side of a hill in the shape of a giant pillar. The farm boy was still lucky as h
The Archers lined up at the top of the great wall, aiming at every creature from the Demon Army they could find.Outside the wall, the Knights and Swordsmen worked together to bring down the monstrous creatures. They ranged from those the size of a full-grown buffalo to those dozens of times larger. From creatures with trunks and legs to creatures with no legs at all.As for the battle in the air, to intercept and repel enemies from the winged dragon race, it is the Mage who takes the role. With all their magic and abilities, they try to bring down the creatures that have the breath of fire.Not a few have become victims, both from the human side and from the Demon Army side. All lay lifeless on the ground, with their bodies intact or disjointed. With bodies pierced by arrows and other weapons or burned.The few warriors and soldiers who were still alive down there tried to crawl away and find shelter until the war was over.But it seemed the attacks of those ferocious creatures were
