Chapter 129 - The end of a war

Cavallior turned his gaze directly towards Venerable Lotus Flower Venerable Jihao Yuxuan, as he recalled his previous words.

"Mark my words, the price you have to pay is your soul. "You'd better choose carefully."

Venerable Lotus Flower Venerable Jihao Yuxuan's tone of voice was calm as he looked at him.

Cavlior spoke indifferently, his strength had been completely restored, and his body had been treated, which prevented him from concentrating on Venerable Lotus Venerable Jihao Yuxuan's words.

"No, in order to win I will do anything."

However, he had no choice but to feel sorry for his words, because in the end, he was the one who agreed to the terms of the loan from the beginning.

The lotus flowers were covering his entire body very quickly, leaving him helpless to do anything; He was losing his ability to move and use his strength, which was completely exhausted to cover part of the loan.

Lotus flowers cover his entire body, forming a beautiful cocoon made of lotus flowers.

"Fourteen withered lotus flowers remained. After this idiot, there will only be eleven flowers left. "Absolutely wonderful."

Venerable Lotus Flower Venerable Jihao Yuxuan spoke contentedly.

He turned his gaze towards the place where the Venerable and Venerable Blessed Heaven Elizabeth was standing, but he found no trace of her.

He decided to direct his gaze towards the cocoon again, with calm features, before it turned into a giant black dragon that smelled of death, as if death itself was embodied in it.

The Orc Lord and the Goblins devoured Cafleur in one mouthful, ending the war that had lasted nearly nine hours.

Then he returns to his original form, while looking at the lotus flower.

\[Power is being transferred to the Heavenly Lotus Pavilion\]

Venerable Lotus Flower Venerable Jihao Yuxuan kept looking at her for several seconds before disappearing; His work has been completed, and the fruits have been fully reaped.

Even though the Nagazis Snake Lord escaped from his hands, he did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort, but rather a slight smile appeared on his face, as if he had witnessed something impressive that he had not expected to see.

On the ground, the students and professors in charge were resting, while Seok tended to their injuries, anger burning within him.

He couldn't kill those who killed Suho, but they didn't participate in the battle against the Goblin Lord Cavelior.

On the other side, Yoruichi and Gray were resting while taking healing potions, given the severity of their injuries and draining Seok's energy so quickly; That's why they decided to rely on themselves.

"War flags are flying declaring our victory!" Ha-ha-ha-ha! We suffered many losses against the weakest among them. How pathetic we really are! However, the fighting lasted only three hours."

Gray spoke happily, looking at the students resting, while the healing energy was doing its work.

Yoruichi looked at him, while drawing an exhausted smile on his face; He had exhausted all his energy, and it took some time for healing potions to take effect when the damage was severe.

"You're right, it was a fierce battle. "Many students, mercenaries and soldiers died in a ridiculous way."

A deep sigh escaped his mouth as he tried to stand up, relying on his sword.

He finds the healers collecting the corpses of students, soldiers and mercenaries. The appearance of the corpses was so disfigured and hideous, that some of them were placed in pottery jars the size of a car tire, due to their severe crushing, so as not to allow the general public to see them. Most of the owners of these bodies were soldiers and mercenaries who fought at the beginning of the battle.

This war was not a place to make friends, but a place to survive; Where the strongest live, and every point of Kuno can change the course of an entire battle if it falls into the hands of a genius.

Yoruichi spoke coldly, as he looked at the bodies of soldiers and mercenaries being transported to Yospeakers City for burial; Resuscitating them will cost them a lot of money in rehabilitation and rehabilitation centres.

"A dirty government, and people die like livestock in wars here and there. Death adorns them with a mask of courage. What a bunch of fools we are!"

Yoruichi couldn't stand any longer due to exhaustion, so he fell to the ground and fainted. The same was true for Gray; The Alpha skill was draining an enormous amount of power beyond their capacity.

As for Jian Yi, who was resting with Tom several meters away from the location of the Goblin Lord Cavliore's body, the body had turned into a golden mist some time ago that had disappeared into the air.

Their faces were very tired; They fought an opponent stronger than them. If it were not for Seok, who was constantly supporting and treating them, and the plan drawn up by the responsible teachers, and Gowther being a Boundless, and Jeya, who became stronger than him after using her power, and Inuyasha, who was terrorizing Cavaliore's heart, preventing him from using his power fully, they would have died from the beginning of the fight.

To give Tom Jian Yi a cold drink, while he drinks his own.

Jian Yi looked at him in surprise, this was the first time he had seen something like this.

Tom, however, showed no interest; The drink had been stored in his storage ring since he was in Myung Hee's world. He wasn't worried about it getting spoilt, because the storage ring kept anything from getting damaged no matter how long it stayed inside it.

Jian Yi imitated Tom, who took off the lid of his drink, making him feel embarrassed; It was simple, but he made it seem impossible.

"So, what did you learn from this battle, Jian Yi?"

Tom spoke while looking at his drink with a calm expression.

Jian Yi remained silent for several seconds before answering his question with strange calmness.

"I've realized one thing in war: trying to save everyone is a bad joke. And you?".

Tom narrowed his eyes slightly, while smiling slightly, and spoke to himself with regret and remorse:

"I remembered the good old days..."

Tom's memories begin to return again, like a cold waterfall in his mind.

While Zhao Li and Emperor Rising Sun Zhao Yong were returning from a fruit and vegetable orchard, carrying baskets filled with different types of fruits and vegetables ripening within a spiritual realm.

While they were heading to their home, Emperor Zhao Yong of the Rising Sun turned his gaze towards the place where the war between the barbarians was taking place, only to find that it had ended, and that corpses were scattered everywhere.

Even though he was about fourteen kilometers away from the war site, he was able to clearly see everything that happened there; He inherited Zhao Li's power, because he and his sister Empress Desolate Moon Zhao Ming were born from his eyes, when Zhao Li tried to refine the One Void Gu after he removed them from his eyeballs, though he later regained his eyes thanks to his regeneration ability.

Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Li, with a look of confusion and astonishment.

"If they are going to die and not enjoy what they wanted to achieve, why are they fighting each other?"

Zhao Li remained silent, unable to utter a single word; Zhao Yong's question was surprising to him.

Humans fight endless wars, but no one enjoys riches. Soldiers fight and die, while those in power, who do not fight in the first place, receive ninety percent of the benefits.

However, they continue to fight and kill. What is even more ridiculous is that they take possession of things that do not belong to them in the first place, and then call it glory and honor.

What good is glory and honor when you die? Will a trivial flower or a simple bow bring you back to life? No, death remains the inevitable end of everything.

As for coming back from the dead and getting a second life, these are two things that only happen in the fairy tales and novels that you read, for example.

A deep sigh escaped from Zhao Li's mouth, as he looked at the Bright Sun Emperor, before carrying him in his arms.

"Entities, no matter how different their types and races, are similar in one thing: hatred, envy, greed, and vanity. "So, don't be surprised to see something like this."

Zhao Yong looked at him strangely for several seconds, before speaking in a voice filled with fear and anxiety:

"It seems that hate, envy, greed, and vanity will always lead to one's death. Will I become like them and die?

Zhao Li put him down, then gently stroked his hair, while putting a warm smile on his face.

"Just don't let vanity lead you, because it will take you to your end."

Tom returned to his thoughts, while looking at Jian Yi, who was waiting for his answer, to speak calmly while looking at the sun:

"I learned that we humans are just fools, we follow our instincts or follow what is dictated to us by those higher than us."

Jian Yi remained silent for several seconds, while sipping his drink; He was somewhat surprised, as he had not expected to hear this particular answer.

A slight smile appeared on his face after he understood what he meant.

"You are right, we are a group of useless fools. We cannot decide our fate on our own."

On the other hand, Lucy and Beatrice were eating some food, while resting to regain their strength.

Lucy laughed, looking at Beatrice, then her features turned serious.

"Beatrice, are you hiding your power from us or what? Your power level was equal to that of Jia Guilford, knowing that your power level is that of a supreme ruler, while Jia is the Mistress of the Rulers, and she is two full ranks stronger than you, yet you were equal to her in power."

Beatrice looked at her for several seconds with the same coldness she was accustomed to showing, and then spoke with no indifference or interest:

"Yes, I completely hide my power. 'But you had better keep quiet, Lady Lucy Kathaley.'

Lucy kept looking at her sharply, and Beatrice put her head in her lap, which made Lucy feel strange for several seconds, before she spoke with peace of mind:

"You are a vile scoundrel, and yet you are so kind. "Let's be honest, you kind of look like Tom in both your behavior and a lot of other things, and it's like you've been living with him for a very long time."

Beatrice remained silent for some time, while looking at the sky with calm features, and the same applied to Lucy.

The sun was very beautiful, the clock was 17:34, and the gentle breeze of the wind made them both feel at ease.

However, there were those who lived in another world, called the world of politicians and presidents.

In the operating room were the academy's director, Solliver, his deputy, Carter Pledgers, Yoshika Kyoto, Katherine Yosubara, Kaitoa Ishikawa, and the responsible or senior professors: Leo, Vanessa, Calista, and Julian.

With them were the heads of the Grand Duchies: Aster Guildford, Euchemaros McAteer, Belgurd Kathali, Reinhardt de Moliard, and finally the Sword Saint Azars Nawazaki.

They were looking at each other with calm expressions, even though the atmosphere was completely charged, until someone came and broke the silence.

"Sir, this is the list of dead and injured soldiers, students, mercenaries, and local residents in the city of Uspekers."

The soldier's tone was full of respect as he handed the document to Reinhardt.

Then he left the room without saying anything else.

\[Dead soldiers: 1.43 thousand fighters.

Infected: none.

Reason: All those who went into battle died without exception.

Surviving soldiers: 570 fighters.

Local and visiting mercenaries killed: 2.22 thousand.

Local and visiting mercenaries infected: none.

Surviving local and visiting mercenaries: 3.56 thousand.

Reason: All those who went into battle died without exception.

Locals and visitors killed: 2.34 thousand dead.

Locals and visitors injured: 345 injured.

Surviving locals and visitors: 34,000.

Dead students: 45 students.

Wounded students: 134 students.

Surviving students: 56 students.\]

However, Reinhardt's facial features did not change as he looked at the list of deaths, wounded and survivors, before directing his gaze towards the three-dimensional model of the ground on which the battle took place and the city of Uspeckers.

The bright red color indicated the residents of Uspeckers City who were currently receiving proper treatments.

As for the burgundy red, it referred to the people who visited the city of Euspikers, and they were being treated for the injuries they suffered due to the chaos that occurred inside the city.

The cold red indicates the residents of Uspeckers City who died due to the chaos that occurred.

As for the blood red, it referred to the soldiers protecting the city of Euspikers, who were gathered outside its walls; Their numbers had decreased greatly due to their killing by the Beast Lords and their followers.

The yellowish red indicates the soldiers and mercenaries who died during the battle against the monster ruler, although its shade was slightly lighter than the previous color.

As for the normal black one, he was referring to the remaining Versalkin Academy students from the regular class.

The dark black indicated the remaining Elite Class students, while the charcoal black belonged to the Academy's Versalkin students from the Legends Class, who were gathered on the ramparts waiting for instructions to arrive.

As for the dark charcoal black, it referred to the remaining Versalkin Academy students from the regular class who had died.

The dark black referred to the Elite Class students who died, while the charcoal black belonged to the Academy's Versalkin students from the Legends Class who were gathered on the ramparts awaiting instructions, and then died.

Reinhardt kept comparing the information on the map and the statement for several seconds, before sighing in relief.

On the other side, Yukimarus and Azaris Noazaki were talking together.

"I'll be honest with you, Sword Saint Azaris Nozaki. You acted maturely when you searched for the truth. "It was an act worthy of respect."

Yukimarus's tone of voice was calm, as he watched the professors and dukedom leaders resting after the previous battle.

Let Sword Saint Azaris Nozaki speak questioningly:

«How so? "I didn't say anything about what happened."

Yukimarus looked at him for several seconds, before speaking while patting him on the shoulder:

"I have my own ways of gathering information. After all, I am the head of the most dangerous intelligence and assassination organization in the ordinary world we live in."

Yukimarus left the place immediately without saying anything further; His time was up, and he disappeared from the place back to the Duchy of McTire Palace, ignoring the cold gaze of Sword Saint Azaris Noazaki.

Elsewhere, several kilometers away from Uspeckers City, Yuta, Gowther, Christian, Nicholas, Kazuhiro, Leon, and Inuyasha were standing in front of a giant runic portal that would transport them to their hometowns.

Gowther spoke in a calm tone:

"You left too. Before you left Michael Kaiser, Shadow, Ricardo, Haruto, Ryota, Sky Forest, and Yume. It seems that being the ruler of the Tree of Divine Existence is very tiring."

Inuyasha laughed lazily and annoyed as he spoke to him:

"You're right, being a ruler is difficult. "Power is good, but one has to take on too many responsibilities."

Nicholas, Christian, Kazuhiro, and Leon left the place without saying anything, as there was nothing to say in the first place.

Inuyasha then left, declaring that Yuta and Gowther would be left alone in this battle. However, neither of them was interested in picking a fight with the other, either in the presence of others or alone; It depended on them.

Yuta and Gowther return to Uspeckers City with calm looks.

At 20:30, the sun was setting, marking the end of the war between them and the Beast Lords, who surpassed them in power.

For Gree de Molière, Jurici de Molière, Lucie Cathali, Beatrice, Armin Siegmurt, Tom Fergelsen, Gia Guilford, Brevika, Aslahan, and Siok, this war was only one step out of hundreds they had to cross.

Every step they take leads them towards a world where their enemies are stronger, smarter and more dangerous. The world will not tolerate them; Rather, they must learn from the war they fought, if they want to survive instead of die.

Jigua Island showed them the cruelty of the world, and proved to them that they are not fairy tale heroes who win every battle.

As for the war against rulers, it taught them that the world will not always give them opponents at their level of power; Their enemy may be stronger than them.
