At the end of the tunnel was a huge hall.
Numerous large pillars support the ceiling. Complex yet beautiful patterns are carved on each wall, and dazzling magic lights are installed on each ceiling to illuminate the interior. Asleil muttered while looking around.
“It’s like an audience hall in a royal palace.”
“Except that the scale is enormous.”
As Carol said, the hall was over 40 meters high and over 200 meters in diameter. Each pillar supporting the ceiling is as high as the 6th floor of an ordinary building. It was a huge space to the point of getting bored, but Leppenhardt and his group were annoyed.
In the meantime, I was tired of seeing such huge spaces as hangars, laboratories, and research institutes. Now is the time to really admire the size.
Marceline shouted excitedly.
“joy! Is the Grand Forge central square as good as this? There is nothing to be surprised about now!”
“by the way… … .”
Suddenly, Reppenhardt looked back at Carol and Asreil.
“Can you guys fight?”
This was said about the ancient weapons the two had, the Eldril Gigantus and Baphomet suits.
Thanks to the desperate struggle here, those powerful ancient artifacts have already become nothing more than rags. No matter how injured the other party members are, they will be healed if they drink some ground Atilca(?), but the artifact does not recover that quickly. It’s so broken down here and there that you don’t know when it will stop working.
But I have no intention of backing down after coming this far.
“I can still fight, Your Majesty!”
“Don’t worry. “I won’t hold other people back.”
Asreil and Carol both burned their fighting spirit. It was truly a trustworthy figure that was not afraid of death. Well, Reppenhardt didn’t look impressed at all.
“Isn’t it true that you can’t get your ankle caught because you don’t want to get caught? “If you’re weak, you’ll get caught.”
Grumbling, Reppenhardt applied magic detection to the two men’s armor. I pour magical energy into the half-destroyed Eldril Gigantus and Baphomet suits and check their condition.
‘It’s broken a lot. ‘You went into emergency battle mode, right?’
Magic and aura amplification power are extremely low, and most of the output built into the artifact is focused on defense to protect the user’s life. Defense power has dropped to about 80% of its original level, and attack power has dropped to less than 20%.
“Still, it can act as a shield.”
In any case, what I wanted from them was not attack power, but only the role of a shield to take the enemy’s attacks instead. If I had wanted attack power, I wouldn’t have sent Starla or other Auror users away.
“Don’t complain even if you die.”
Reppenhardt’s permission was granted. Asreil shouted happily.
“I could die smiling for Antares!”
Carol also laughed.
“I don’t care if I die, but if I lose, I will resent it. So make sure you win.”
Taking steps like that, Leppenhardt and his party continued to move inside the hall.
Eventually, in the distance, I saw a large throne located at the end of the hall. A man with blue hair was waiting for them, sitting on a steel throne connected to numerous pipelines with complex mechanical devices.
It was Sayer, the god of mankind.
☆ ☆ ☆
The heart of Sayre Temple Underground, the Silver Hall.
A group of men and women were gathered in this huge hall that boasted the greatest grandeur on earth.
All of them, regardless of gender and age, were some of the strongest people on the continent.
Reppenhardt, the legendary demon king who almost destroyed the world, and the contemporary successor to Jim Unbreakable, with a body of steel that can never be broken.
Iniya, the Snow Queen, the strongest elf swordsman who is said to be able to freeze even souls with a single sword.
Atilka, the blood god, a troll shaman with an immortal body and infinite power of nature.
Cilan Phil Marsis, a priest of Philanense who is said to have been blessed by the goddess.
And so on and so forth and so on… … .
‘There are too many numbers to point out one by one.’
Leppenhardt smiled bitterly as he looked around at the group. There are a whopping nine of his colleagues here, almost twice the number of Alex’s group in his previous life. It really feels like we managed to get this far without losing anyone.
‘It would have been impossible without Carol.’
Anyway, I feel strange. Is this a situation where you can feel the return of fate?
In his previous life, the Demon King Reppenhardt stood on the opposite side and fought against the mighty powers of the continent. And now they are with themselves. Sword Saint Cyrus became Russ, the Knight of Betrayal, and Thesron became his own body. Elin has disappeared and her father, Silan, is here. Of course, there is no light mage Jade, but… … .
‘I don’t need a guy like that.’
The Four Heavenly Kings of his past life are also alive and well. Siris, Atilca, Marqueline, Tashid. Although our relationship has changed a bit, we have come to this point together as still reliable colleagues.
A new relationship in this life was also created. Iniya, Karl, Asreil. Everyone was precious and valuable colleagues.
‘Indeed, a lot has changed.’
No, maybe not much has changed. If it weren’t for the relationship with Reppenhardt, they might have still walked the same path and lived the life of their previous life.
‘Yes, I guess what has really changed is myself.’
Now, if you just take one last step, your long-held wish will come true. Trying to control his excitement, Reppenhardt looked up at the podium.
Sayre, the god of mankind.
He was looking down at the group with his legs crossed and his chin resting in an arrogant posture. Although the connection with divinity must have been lost due to the silence of the Akashic Drive, he shows no signs of being disturbed at all.
Sayer opened his mouth.
“You’ve come this far, human wizard.”
Repenhardt responded.
“It wasn’t that difficult. Sayer.”
In fact, he almost died because of Filena, but he tried to pretend to be Taeyeon. He can’t let the momentum slip in before he even fights.
Suddenly Sayer tilted his head.
“Your appearance has changed a lot?”
Clearly, Leffenhardt was no longer the face of Tethron before.
Calm black eyes shine beneath the dark brown hair, which is now completely black. Instead of a rugged look, the face has thick lines and an intelligent look. The image of the Demon King, the supreme wizard, is superimposed on the body of the King of Powers.
Leffenhardt also looked at Sayer with a similar expression.
“I don’t think that’s my body.”
Although her body and face were the same as in her previous life, Sayer’s hair was now a beautiful blue color. At least, it is a color that can never appear in humans. Her ears are also short and pointed. It is the body of the original race of Sayre, the original race.
Moreover, my body has also changed. Instead of having the skinny body of a wizard, his shoulders are broad and his whole body looks well-trained.
“Your body was taken by someone worthy. Do you regret your original body?”

“It would be a lie if I said I had no regrets at all… … .”
Leffenhardt shrugged his shoulders.
“I have no desire to go back to the way things were now.”
“Right.”
A calm conversation was going on, as if they had met after a long time and were asking how they were doing. However, it is just a tone of voice, and between the podium and the hall, a dark and murderous feeling swirls and grows.
“I will be honest with you, human wizard.”
Sayer suddenly took on a serious expression.
“I am amazed.”
The group’s complexions hardened. The god of mankind spoke quietly.
“I never thought it would come out like this. You have truly bound my strength wonderfully. “I almost want to praise you.”
Sayer stood up from the iron throne. Instead of his usual white robe, he was wearing a pure white long coat over the empire’s characteristic aristocratic attire. Although it is clearly fabric, the surface sparkles like metal and gives off a metallic shine.
“That’s why I want to ask you even more.”
Sayer slowly began to come down the stairs, the hem of his coat flying.
“Do you really believe this?”
With each step, a vast amount of magical power overflows and fills this wide silver hall. An overwhelming and absolute force weighs heavily on the shoulders of the group.
“With mere human power, it is possible to harm God?”
Everyone was shaken by the pressure of the formidable spirit.
“Tsk!”
“Damn, what kind of momentum is this… … .”
As expected, the opponent is the god of mankind. Even if he has no divinity, he is a being who can destroy the world with just magical power!
But Reppenhardt remained calm. A being that can destroy the world?
‘Is it possible for me in my past life to do that?’
Even now, it is not completely impossible. It just takes too long to prepare.
So he was able to confidently answer God’s questions.
“Of course, Sayer.”
Golden aura and purple aura flowed from both muscular shoulders. The other party members also entered a fighting stance.
Asleil and Carol stepped forward, wearing half-destroyed armor. Iniya, Russ, and Tashid lowered their knees slightly, ready to draw their swords at any moment. Siris and Atilca moved to the left and right, while Marqueline and Silan fell to the rear and took out their star symbols.
Leppenhardt scolded coldly as he raised his fist.
“I’m going to end it all now!”
A tense atmosphere spread everywhere. Sayer smiled softly as he looked around.
“Is that your will?”
The God of Mankind lightly pointed his finger.
“Then come, stand against God and unfold his will.”
3
Leffenhardt stepped forward. He activates the magic he had prepared in advance and speaks powerful words.
“AMP Shockwave!”
A fan-shaped blue wave spread as it struck Sayer. It was an improved local AMP Shockwave. Not only can you not carelessly waste magic power, but you cannot use the original wide-area AMP Shockwave because there are allies like Siris, Karl, and Asreil who have artifacts.
Of course, Sayer had enough power to avoid it… … .
“You are doing something useless.”
Sayer was hit by the blue wave. And he laughed.
“You just wasted magical power, human wizard. “Now I do not borrow the power of tools.”
If you don’t have the artifact, this spell is no different from just light. Of course, there is no reason to avoid it.
Also, no matter how much it is improved and the required magic power is reduced, 10 circles is 10 circles, and the magic power consumption is quite large. So there is no reason to interfere with Repenhardt’s magic. They say they will cut down on their own strength, so what can I do to stop them?
With a bitter smile, Reppenhardt stepped back.
“I expected that, but you can’t take risks, right?”
“I see, so is this really the beginning?”
Russ and Tarsid launched themselves as they crossed with Reppenhardt.
“Taaaat!”
“Go!”
Before the command was even given, the two quickly rushed to Sayer’s left and right. Even though they were busy, they practiced their tactics countless times, working together in preparation for the final battle. I also experienced a real fight against Sayer once. Even without giving instructions, he already knows perfectly well what role he should play in a situation.
“Awesome moonlight!”
“Throw down lightning!”
The blue and turquoise Blade Aura flashed its sword light. Iniya and Siris followed right behind.
“The blade of the frozen ground!”
