*****On a certain wall of the Royal Capital of Rosemona*****
Time goes back a little, before Nas and the others exit the maze, and the perspective switches to Valkyrie who used the teleportation array to reach the royal capital.
Through the teleportation array, she successfully arrived at Valkyrie on a certain wall of the royal capital. After confirming that all 200 of her subordinates had arrived at the unguarded city wall, she confirmed the nearby situation and After seeing the situation in the royal capital, Valkyrie hid the teleportation array with some kind of magic and began to carry out the tasks assigned to her by Zhang Youji.
While moving quickly and stealthily, choosing a route with fewer enemies, while defeating the enemies that were running rampant on the road and obstructing the movement, while looking up at the sky full of lower-level demons and certain monsters flying, Valkyrie felt a little nostalgic. Yes, I remembered the past.
That was when the [Vicious Demon King] who first became the [Third Generation Demon King] was defeated. Since his birth in the [God Realm], Valkyrie has been assigned to achieve perfection no matter what the situation. She has always lived a life of pure heart and abstinence from desires and devoted herself to spiritual practice.
Until about 50 years ago, she suddenly heard the [Oracle] from the highest [God], asking her to come to a certain human country to guide the people from other worlds called braves there, and fight side by side with them. Defeat one of the [Third Generation Demon Lords] who are becoming increasingly threatening.
Then, Valkyrie, who took over the task of defeating the Demon King and had a certain sense of mission, immediately obeyed the voices of prayer and belief in people's hearts and arrived at the ceremony site of a certain country. He was warmly received by the people there. The welcome and very luxurious hospitality made Valkyrie, who had never been exposed to such a thing, feel a little uncomfortable.
However, when he thought that it was natural for human beings to be powerless weaklings who would unconditionally worship and welcome strong men who helped them, Valkyrie's previous uncomfortable feeling disappeared in an instant.
Valkyrie, who came to the [Human World], has been worshiped by many people, including the heroes, since that celebration feast. Although I don’t know what other gods would do at this time, Valkyrie I just want to train the few brave men from another world to the point where they can fight against the Demon King as quickly as possible, and defeat the Demon King as quickly as possible to complete the mission. Valkyrie is just dealing with other things.
After that, Valkyrie accompanied the heroes who had fully grown up and participated in the war between humans and the demon king that had already begun. As the war progressed, Valkyrie participated.
Experience the brilliance of humanity in war.
I saw the miracles that people caused during the war.
With the help of himself and many kind-hearted beings, he witnessed the heroes who matured little by little, experienced various hardships, and finally defeated the Demon King.
As a result, Valkyrie's view of human beings was completely changed. After defeating the Demon King and confirming that the country had returned to peace, he bid farewell to the people there and the brave men he had trained with his own hands, and was satisfied. After returning to the [God Realm] and reporting the completion of the mission to the highest level [God], she returned to the divine court where she lived, recalled the important things she gained in that war, and unconsciously revealed Smiling and thinking about the people at that time, who had obviously not been apart for long.
After that, Valkyrie, who lived a life of ascetic cultivation in the [God Realm], became interested in humans, and gradually became bored. He also began to hesitate whether to choose among humans like other gods. Bring out your own [God's Chosen One], give your [Blessing] to that character, [observe] and [guide] that character, and make him a great person, thereby gaining [Faith], and making that God The ascetic life became busy and lively.
However, Valkyrie quickly gave up that idea, because her identity is [Valkyrie]. Although she has a lot of free time like other gods, her identity represents [God]. Sword of the Realm], one of the many [Gods of War] and [Gods of Fighting] who will be immediately sent to fight if someone who is an enemy of the [God Realm] appears.
Therefore, Valkyrie, who gave up quickly but did not want to give up at the same time and continued to practice, never thought that about 50 years later, a random summon suddenly changed from [grey] to [blue]. The formation actually appeared in front of her.
(At that time, I didn’t actually plan to respond to the summons. I just wanted to treat it as an accidental ignore. However, the magic quality is the brilliance of the soul. Looking at the summoning array that gradually changes from gray to blue, even if it is Even the light emitted by the brave cannot be compared to the pure light... I think no matter which god he is, he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to see the summoner, yes, even those arrogant and delicate gods of beauty , also definitely)
[Lord Valkyrie, I'm very sorry to disturb your thoughts. We have arrived at the first designated location. Moreover, Lord Hyohwa and Zim have also followed the operations and caused chaos among the enemies in the royal capital. 】
While Valkyrie was thinking about something contentedly and without a trace of regret, a subordinate's voice reminded her near her. Therefore, after Valkyrie came back to her senses, she confirmed that they Having already arrived under the walls of the Royal Capital and the Royal City, and seeing in the distance the scene of [Bing Hua] in the form of a [Three-Headed Dragon], ravaging the demons and monsters flying in the air, I thought that the enemy was now When all attention should have been attracted by [Bing Hua] and [Zim], Valkyrie began to prepare to carry out the mission of rescuing people.
[Everyone, Binghua and Zim should have successfully attracted the enemy's attention at this moment. Now it's our turn. We must summon the Lord's childhood sweetheart, Ye Lianmeng, and the magician who took care of the Summoner, Jie Li. These two People's safety is the top priority! There are three target locations for rescue, so we will be divided into three groups to carry out the mission. 】
[Lord Valkyrie, can I use the kind of range attack that destroys houses and streets? 】
[···, in a crisis situation, I allow you to use all your strength, without worrying about the surroundings, and just follow the orders given to us by the summoning Lord before we set off. Next, we will be divided into 3 teams, and the 20 people in the first team will be led by me. He personally leads the team with the goal of rescuing Ye Lianmeng and Jieli from the Wangcheng Prison. Teams 2 and 3 each have 90 people, and the captains are chosen by pre-determined candidates. The goals are to rescue the people imprisoned near Jieli's home and to rescue them respectively. The people in the Kimberley family mansion that became a makeshift prison, above! If there are no more questions, leave immediately to carry out the operation! 】
When Valkyrie looked at the gradually chaotic scene in the distance, issued a mission, answered some questions from her subordinates, and asked them to start executing the mission, she felt a sense of mission on her face when her subordinates left. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, then he straightened his expression immediately, led the 20 subordinates left behind, and went to the prisons in the royal capital and the royal city to rescue people.
As for the reason for Valkyrie's bitter smile, in fact, the magic weapons and generals under her were very opposed to Valkyrie offering her [Oath] and [Loyalty] to Zhang Youji.
For this reason, Valkyrie spent several days of patient persuasion before he reluctantly made them agree to this matter. He could return to the [God Realm] at any time. If he didn't like it, he could also resign from the Valkyrie Guards and go to other gods. The conditions brought these magical soldiers and generals of the escort team into Zhang Youji's [Maze], allowing them to see a completely different world than they had seen before.
After that, although the divine soldiers and generals did not fully recognize Zhang Youji, they did understand the reason why Valkyrie would recognize him. After seeing Zhang Youji’s experience and understanding his After the [despair] and the [never-ending] [prayers], now, they have fully recognized Zhang Youji and want to help him realize his very [ordinary], but at the same time very [pure] [pure] dream. Pray].
And after seeing the useless appearance of the highest [Celestial God], the divine soldiers and generals even completely regarded Zhang Youji as their master, and secretly vowed to follow Valkyrie and protect him with their own lives. Zhang Youji, and the things that Zhang Youji wanted to protect, with the determination to never let anyone destroy the things that Zhang Youji wanted to protect, the divine soldiers and generals took steps toward their goals.
*****On the third floor of a tight underground prison in the royal capital of Rosemona****
The perspective shifts to Jie Li, who is imprisoned in the Royal City Prison on the third underground floor.
In order to protect Liya, the king and the hero and others and escape from the pursuit of the devil, he sacrificed his life to resist the sword hero Yan Haoyan who took refuge with the devil, as well as some of the elites of the devil's men. In the end, he was defeated by Yan Haoyan and was caught and sent to a prison cell. Jie Li.
At this moment, she was seriously injured and wearing several pairs of shackles. She lay in tatters and miserably on the straw pile in the cell. Her eyes were blankly staring at the ceiling of the cell, thinking desperately about her fate. And some things that can no longer be done.
(...It seems that I can only go here. My body is completely unable to move, and my consciousness seems to be disappearing....Lianmeng, are you still alive? It would be great if you are still alive... ·If possible, I really want to go and see Yuji with Lianmeng. I haven’t even thanked Yuji for rescuing me from the transfer trap in the maze... Ah, I can’t do it anymore, consciousness want···.)
[Really, I heard your wish. Since you want to thank the Summoning Lord, then please go to the Summoning Lord in person and say what you want to say, but I think the Summoning Lord will definitely answer, don’t mind, etc. words, so in order to hear that answer, you cannot die now. If you die, the summoning Lord will be troubled. 】
(······, I think, is anyone here?···My eyes are already...,...I always feel, so warm...)
Just when Jieli had given up hope of survival, she suddenly heard a very awe-inspiring female voice. However, Jieli, who was on the verge of death and couldn't even open her eyes, wanted to know who was following her. She spoke, but just as she was thinking about these things, her consciousness was about to disappear. The last thing Jieli felt before her consciousness disappeared was some kind of very warm feeling.
Then, as the warm feeling became stronger and stronger, Jieli's consciousness that was about to disappear gradually began to return. She now felt that her head seemed to be slightly raised by someone, and there was something like the mouth of a bottle. The thing was touching my lips. I subconsciously opened my mouth slightly and felt some kind of medicinal-flavored liquid flow into my mouth. The moment I tried to drink it, my body suddenly felt something. A feeling full of power.
[Woo..., is this here? ···, I remember that after I was defeated by Yan Haoyan, I was put into a cell, and then... 】
[After that, you almost died in this cell because of the serious injuries you suffered. It’s really great to catch up with you, Miss Jieli. 】
【? ! ? ! ? ! who is it! 】
Jieli propped herself up and sat up, covered her slightly aching head with her hands, and slowly opened her eyes. When she was thinking about certain things, she was suddenly struck by the awe-inspiring voice coming from beside her. The female voice frightened me, so I immediately jumped up from where I was and yelled.
[It seems there is no big problem anymore, Miss Jieli. 】
【······, judging from your appearance, are you a paladin of the Theocracy? 】
[No, in short, please treat me as a human-shaped summoned beast. The summoner is under your care, Miss Jieli. 】
【···Why? Summon a beast? Summon the Lord? What exactly are you? 】
[Miss Jieli, I’m sorry, can you please leave these questions for later? This is not a place where we can talk quietly. In short, let’s leave here now. I will answer your questions truthfully after I get to a safe place. 】
When Jie Li jumped up in panic and looked at the woman in front of her with platinum hair and eyes, a very dignified and beautiful appearance, wearing a skirt-shaped light armor, exuding a sacred aura, who was greeting her, Li thought this woman was a [Paladin] from the Theocracy, but the woman immediately denied Jie Li’s words, making Jie Li confused. But just when Jie Li wanted to continue asking questions, that woman The woman changed the topic and asked Jieli to subconsciously confirm the current situation.
The cell door was cut off, the devil guard fell to the ground, the sounds of fighting echoed around, and the shackles on her body were also removed. Although Jie Li had just recovered from the edge of death, Didn't notice these things.
However, the moment Jieli noticed this, she immediately tensed up her nerves, alerted her surroundings, and quickly judged that at least the woman in front of her was here to save her. Although she did not know who this woman was, she should not be an enemy. Therefore, Jieli decided to trust this woman for the time being, and silently followed her, starting to leave the three-story underground prison with her.
After that, Jieli followed the woman and met 20 subordinates who were very similar to her in dress and atmosphere. She heard that the people they wanted to save were not only herself, but also Ye Lianmeng, the first princess Lailei and the guardian knight. Although Kelt and Jie Li were very surprised when they saw that they had defeated the attacking demons with just one blow, Jie Li suppressed her surprise and prepared to wait until she was in a safe place. , I’m going to ask for clarification.
But it is a pity that Jieli, the woman and her subordinates searched the entire prison, but only found the unconscious guardian knight Celtic. There was no figure of the princess and Ye Lianmeng at all. To be more precise, for some reason, they were There are only two people imprisoned in this prison, Jie Li and Kelt. Except for some demon guards, there are no other humans at all.
Thinking that this was not the way to go, Jieli and her party took the unconscious Kelt and prepared to leave the prison. When they walked out of the prison, they discovered that there were about 1,000 demons surrounding the exit of the prison. Waiting for them.
When Jieli saw this scene, although she showed a very desperate expression and knelt on the ground, she was quickly helped up by the woman's subordinates. She looked at the woman who rescued her in confusion and looked towards A certain leading bear-shaped demon walked over, wondering what she was going to do, and began to stare blankly at the woman's back.
[Are you the commander here? 】
【good! I am the captain of this hunting team! If you want to beg for mercy, just take off your clothes and come again! What a lucky day today! I didn't expect to be able to hunt such a high-quality woman, and there were more than one, and the ones behind were also top-notch! 】
[Alas, I originally tried to follow the most basic etiquette before the war, but now it seems that I was too naive. 】
【Hey, woman! If you don't want to suffer,? Why? ·········. 】
When Jieli heard what the bear-shaped demon said and felt his pressure and was frightened, the woman standing in front of him just sighed and pulled out the very beautiful knife from her waist with a "buzz" sound. She swung her sword at the bear-shaped demon who was saying something and walking towards her. She swung the bear-shaped demon at a speed that Jie Li couldn't see clearly. The bear-shaped demon's head fell to the ground, causing the surrounding people to look at her with serious expressions. The demons were completely stunned.
And at this moment, Jieli suddenly felt an abnormal pressure around her that could almost stop her breathing. When Jieli noticed the source of this pressure, she discovered the man who was near her just now. The woman's subordinates, except for the two who were protecting her and carrying Kelte, had all arrived slightly behind the woman, stood in a row, and started fighting with thousands of demons. A confrontation.
Then, after the woman pointed the sword in her hand at the demons, the battle began. After the woman's subordinates rushed out, the screams of the demons echoed around them.
【what? ! These, ahem? ! 】
The panicked demons, some of whom had no time to react, were chopped into two pieces.
【Tsk! Aren't they...? ······． 】
Some ended their lives without even noticing that they had been cut.
【Separate them! Surround them and don't let them go? ! 】
Some gathered other demons nearby and started to form a group to fight back, but all of them were instantly penetrated by a certain magic and died painlessly.
Before the woman took action, she thought that the demons were getting timid, so she released even more powerful pressure and indescribable magic power, announced her name, and began to shake up the battle. .
[I am the blue summoner of the labyrinth, the second guardian of his banner, Valkyrie! No matter who is the enemy of the Summoning Lord, we will draw our swords from the sheath and destroy them completely! Be prepared, demons! 】
He unleashed such domineering energy that the earth began to crack.
Emitting a bright and blinding stream of light that borders on violence.
The Valkyrie wielding the divine sword joined the battle at this moment.
While the demons were being ravaged by a total of 18 divine soldiers and generals, they saw the magical power and pressure pouring out from the Valkyrie that made the space distorted, coming towards them with an overwhelming force. Seeing the scene, he immediately lost his will to fight completely and began to cry and beg to escape from the battle.
[Please, let it go, ugh? ! 】
[Don’t, don’t come here! Stop it, uhhhhh! ! ! 】
【No ah ah ah ah! ! ! 】
The Valkyrie's blow with the divine sword completely caused the dozens of demons in front who subconsciously resisted the attack and had carapace and other things to die painlessly immediately.
[Hurry, run away, hurry up,? ! ? ! ? ! 】
【Coming over? ! The aftermath of the attack is... 】
【Ahem? ! ? ! ? ! 】
The aftermath of the sword energy of the Valkyrie's attack with the divine sword caused several fast-moving demons who were trembling to escape, and were about to escape, to be cut into two pieces in an instant, and died in fear.
【Quickly contain! Use magic to contain that one, huh? ······． 】
[Damn, if this is the case, then...? ! ? ! ? ! 】
[Run quickly——! ! ! The root of what is being restrained, ah? ! ···. 】
The magic released by the Valkyrie caused the demons who were in what they thought were safe positions to completely disappear from the world without leaving even a trace in the light.
Jieli, who was sitting on the ground at some point, stared blankly at the scene in front of her, unable to say anything. A certain source of human beings was shouting, get out of here quickly, this is not the place for her. A place where powerless humans can stay. However, even if Jieli wanted to move now, her body was on the contrary. She was completely unable to move due to the extremely powerful sense of oppression coming from nearby.
Just when Jie Li forgot to even breathe, her vision began to turn black, and she was about to suffocate to death, her only movable eye was unfortunately facing the Valkyrie who was in fighting posture. As for noticing The Valkyrie, who was looking at Jie Li with a very panic expression, ignored the demons who had lost their will to fight, handed over the matter of exorcising the demons to her subordinates, and arrived at Jie Li in an instant. around.
[I'm very sorry, Miss Jieli, I seem to be a little too serious. Can you stand up? 】
【Ah,,,ah,,,,,,ah,,,. 】
[Miss Jieli, please try to regain your composure and take a deep breath. I will not use the level of coercion just now, at least in front of you. Those despicable demons have already begun to retreat. Let’s move now. Go to a safe place. Binghua and Zim have probably secured a safe base now. If you move there with us, you can have a good rest. 】
【···Ah,,, um, um. 】
Valkyrie looked at Jieli who was frightened and almost suffocated to death. Although he immediately stopped exuding coercion and magic power, he came to Jieli's side and began to greet her in a gentle voice as much as possible. To ease her out of her panic state, and in order to avoid putting Jieli into a state of extreme panic again during the battle with the enemies, Valkyrie made a look and asked the magic soldier who was guarding Jieli, He picked her up and began to move at a speed that would not scare Jie Li to a safe base in the capital.
But unfortunately, the moment Valkyrie walked out of the royal city, they saw in the sky above the royal capital, Hyouka, in the form of a [three-headed dragon], used some abnormal abilities to eliminate the royal city. The sight of all the other places being "frozen" made Jieli, who had calmed down a bit, pass out from complete suffocation this time.
At this time, Valkyrie, who had offered [Oath] and [Loyalty] to Zhang Youji, began to panic in a sense, and secretly swore that when this war is over and he returns to the maze, he must I am determined to thoroughly "educate" Hinghua and her family members who violated Zhang Yuji's "order" before the battle started.
In this way, Valkyrie and his subordinates rolled their eyes as they looked at the miserable scene surrounded by [ice], and silently looked towards what had become of the weather that had started to [snow]. Move forward to the predetermined safe base.
