Chapter 321: In the Name of Light (6)

Other people were no different.

Countless servants were all looking at the sky with their eyes wide open, as a huge demon could be seen in sight.

It was a monster, one which had an indescribable appearance.

When the demon, who seemed to be able to devour the city, opened his mouth, the sky cracked, and a dark red sphere of an incomprehensible size fell.

-Contractor, Jin Qing. What you want will come true!

I didn’t want to believe that all of this was real. With a sudden, unforeseen urban crisis, I was staring at the sky, speechless.

-Thank you! Thank you! Contractor!!

‘Jin Qing?’

I didn’t understand what the hell was going on.

All I knew was that I had to escape from this unrealistic scene, rather than thinking why the name of the Republican military was being mentioned by the monster itself.

‘All will die.’

If that kind of thing fell, countless people would end up getting killed. That was an inevitable fact.

That was, after all, the same dark red sphere magic that previously attacked the city.

The city’s protection magic, which was quickly reorganized, shattered quickly with a crackling sound.

‘Mother… father.’

This was a neutral country with a long history.

‘I have to protect it.’

Yes, father.

‘It’s not that you’re superior, Pristina. Only with the people around you can you exist.’

Yes, mother.

‘The royal family exists for the country, Pristina. You have to keep what our royal family values.’

Yes, father.

‘Don’t forget. Only with them, we exist. Don’t forget that, Pristina.’

Yes, mother.

“No.”

Everyone would end up dying.

“No… No!!”

All my loved ones would die.

My breathing suddenly became rough. I heard screams from all directions.

The wizards around me once again used their magic, but they soon began to vomit blood as they overexerted themselves.

“Ahh. Oh, God. Please… Please, save them. Please. I will do anything. I will do anything to protect Laios. Please, save them. Please.”

“Pristina, you must avoid it! Quickly!”

“Oh, God. Please… Please. Please.”

“Pristina!”

“Please!!”

Craaaacckkk.

Nevertheless, the huge sphere started to get closer and closer to the city.

‘It’s over.’

Everything was going to be over. However…

“Aaaaahhhh…”

Kaduuuummm!

Magic materialized out of nowhere, blocking the approaching red sphere.

“Uh…”

It was all so dazzling that I couldn’t even open my eyes properly.

“Ahhh… Oh, God.”

If Laios survived today, I would definitely tell everyone that a brilliant light had saved the country from utter destruction in the future.

* * *

‘The magic power color needs to be changed… the picture doesn’t look that good.’

I didn’t think it would be a good idea to use blocking magic that was the exact same color as the devil’s magic.

I wasn’t blaming Jung Hayan, but it was still a pity.

Of course, the biggest question was whether it could be prevented, but it would have been more satisfying if it had been a picture with a little bit than bigger light.

[Occurrence of a legendary-grade forced quest. Please hold her hand. Gnash (0/1)]

“What?”

[Take the hand of the human blessed with magical power. I’m telling you to hold Jung Hayan’s hand, trash. I won’t say it twice. Hold her hand, quickly (0/1)]

I once assumed that there was a subjective opinion in the overall review or the system quest window reflected by my Mind’s Eye, but I didn’t think it would really be like that.

Still, one thing was for sure.

‘Someone is indeed watching.’

Perhaps there was a possibility that it was the same person as the one who returned Kim Hyunsung.

This also explained that the Mind’s Eye’s seal was released when I swore allegiance to Kim Hyunsung, and that the system did not want Park Deokgu to fall behind.

Certainly, Hyunsung and I were being guided by a transcendental lifeform.

‘Lucky! Lucky! Yolo time!’

However, there was one thing that I still found a little questionable.

‘Is it possible to intervene directly like this?’

In the end, I had to forfeit the idea.

If this were possible on a daily basis, things wouldn’t have been so twisted. In other words, it was highly possible that even the transcendent being was going too far just by sending me on this quest.

Anyway, it had been a while since I had received a legendary quest.

Of course, I was sure that I would get a pretty good reward.

There was no choice but to hold onto Jung Hayan’s hand, who was busy casting magic. Hayan looked startled as I did so.

She must be delighted, however, as she flashed me a big smile. Considering the fact that I had proposed to her just moments before, her good mood was inevitable.

My heart pounded a little like a fool, seeing her smiling in such a pure manner.

Of course, the system’s voice made me even happier.

[Legendary-grade quest completed.]

[Please hold the human hand blessed with magic power. (1/1)]

[A new class has been opened as a quest reward. Please choose the class you think you need.]

[Class]

[Alchemist of Light (Semi-Mythic)]

[It is said that only those chosen by God can change class to Alchemist of Light. The magic power will have divine power. Magic power increases by +5. I’ll just say one thing, you’re a real son of a bitch. Disgusting bastard. Really, you are really irreparable piece of trash.]

‘Semi-Mythic-grade! Yolo, indeed!’

No wonder my eyes had widened upon this scene.

In fact, I didn’t even care about the curses that were written in the end. It was certainly disappointing that my magic power would only rise by 5, but it was still good.

I didn’t know what else had changed, but at least the color of my magic had indeed shifted. It was now a brilliant gold, one that would surely dazzle whoever would see it.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

‘Cheer up! Our existence! Jung Hayan!’

When I held her hand, Jung Hayan also gradually began to be colored with light.

I don’t know if it was due to my influence, or whether Jung Hayan magic had changed just because she held my hand, but more and more radiant light began to fill the city.

I couldn’t even open my eyes properly because I was the aforementioned emitter of light.

Even though the quest was necessary, the contract with the demon was also important.

‘Is it okay to block it? It… It wasn’t in terms of the contract…’

[It doesn’t matter. Just remember you can come to this side whenever you want, disgusting human. Since despite being surrounded by light, your trashiness does not go away, I’m getting greedier. How can a single human be so purely dirty…? I guess I know why she won’t let you go even by sacrificing herself so much.]

‘When you say she, do you mean…’

[The other being talking to you right now, human. Anyway, always remember, disgusting human. If you desperately want to… we can, anytime…]

[Forced heroic quest is activated. Don’t talk with the demon lord, you piece of trash. (0/1)]

[Isn’t this much okay…?]

[I told you not to talk to it.(0/1)]

[Ahem. Well, I think it’s okay to step back from this point. Anyway, it would be better to wrap up. Struggle with this situation, disgusting human. That’s all for the conversation.]

Of course, I didn’t understand what was going on.

Right now, I wasn’t sure what the system meant. However, one thing was for sure. Jung Hayan was doing her best to barricade the magic that was coming our way. It was apparent that she was struggling a little.

‘She can stop this, right?’

I thought I should add my weak magic power onto hers, but my magic just made her shine even brighter.

No, it actually seemed to be helpful. The brilliant golden light seemed to steadily drive away Belial’s energy.

“Eeeeek! Eeeeeek!”

I found it ironic that Jung Hayan, who tried to destroy the city just before, was trying to stop this somehow, but that was how life usually worked.

‘I think she can stop this.’

I didn’t know if Belial was reaping his magic power, but when I turned my magic power around Jung Hayan’s body, she seemed to have gained a little more energy.

Although it was weak, there was a possibility that it could have divine power as well.

I had to learn a little more about this “semi-mythic-grade” class.

Even so, Jung Hayan’s nose was bleeding. I was getting tired as well.

Of course, it was a scene too good to watch alone. Han Sora seemed to have come to her senses even in the midst of all this.

There was even no need to edit such a scene.

It was unfortunate that I could not prepare in advance, but video holograms began to emerge in some areas.

This scene would eventually be broadcasted throughout Lindel as well as the State.

‘I should’ve installed it in a large size in Laios as soon as I arrived…’

“I-I’m ready.”

“Okay. Send the sign.”

“Yes, Vice Guild Master.”

The broadcast began spreading throughout the country when Park Deokgu was protecting us frantically.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

When I thought of the people who would soon be watching Jung Hayan and me, brightly emitting light, I began to smile.

“The light will not lose, demon!”

-Kukkukku! If you want to come, come! Petty human! Contractor, unseal the rest of the seal! I’ll help this insignificant mortal realize what real fear is. What are you doing, Jin Qing?! Unseal this seal! I will listen to what you want. I’ll put the world in your hands! I will make you rich!

The demon was also backing me up.

The face of Jin Qing, who couldn’t even do anything about this situation, turned blue. He would be unable to escape from this situation unscathed.

“The light will burn the demon! Everyone! Please give me strength. Please give us the strength to stop this wicked demon!”

-You mere human! How dare you!

[I told you not to talk with him. (0/1)]

Someone seemed discontented, but it was undeniable that this was a near-perfect communication.
