After slowly recollecting the previous and current images in my mind and linking them together, I became more and more certain of Hilder's final goal. I see. So that was exactly what Hilder was trying to do. The "Reconstruction of Terra." In the ancient books of Pandemonium and from the legends I have collected, I have seen or heard the story of the "Destruction of the Terra Civilization" countless times. There was no doubt that these two were linked, and Hilder's plot to revive Terra's brilliance was almost completely exposed. To achieve this goal, it required the sacrifice of the Apostles and the destruction of the entire world; because only through death, can it be reborn!

In ancient times, Terra passed on a book called, "New Genesis," which I studied when I collected materials. It specifically describes the destruction of the planet Terra and the process of its reconstruction. Much of the book has been lost, but some chapters have been preserved:

At the time Bakal arrived in the heavenly realm, he was a fugitive. However, there were no opponents who could match his power; thus allowing the King of Dragons to easily become the ruler of the heavens. As long as Luke did not tell the other Apostles about the location of the Castle of the Dead, Bakal knew very well that his rule would go unchallenged .

Upon settling down as its new ruler, Bakal quickly gathered all the basic information of the world. After some understanding, he learned that the place he now lived in was called [Empyrean]. Below it was a large Arad continent, which was connected via a tower in the sky, named [Sky Tower]. Above Empyrean was space and the upside down world of Pandemonium. For the past several decades, Pandemonium never moved, and Luke used this opportunity to secretly build "the Castle of the Dead" to connect Pandemonium to the planet. This world is undoubtedly the final key in Hilder's plan.

 +
The military system of Empyrean was more complicated that it seemed.
 +
 +
Empyrean was made up of several islands, each with its own headquarters. Not so long ago, each of these command centers were created to govern their respective island, with Ghent Command, which managed the entirety of the Imperial Army, in charge of all of them.
 +
 +
Although the military system had been reorganized under the era of former Archpriest Beldron, issues still remained. In addition to the series of regulations that were created by the various regional headquarters, there were also Special Forces such as the Imperial Princess Garden, the Ghent Royal Garrison, and the Coast Guard which followed separate rules. For the sake of convenience, they also borrowed the rank names of Brigadier General and Major, but they didn't correspond with the ranking system of the Command. The reason there were so many organizations was due to the fact Empyrean had long existed in a peaceful and isolated environment; there was no reason to bother with such unnecessary changes.
 +
 +
However, imperfect systems often lead to confusion. That being said, as time passed, it became more difficult to reorganize a system that had been grounded over a period of years. Moreover, the Special Forces have long since grown into independent organizations, and Ghent Command had no right to reorganize them. Only the Archpriest, the current Imperial Princess, had this authority.
 +
 +
However, this situation did not faze the majesty of the Commander-in-Chief of Ghent Command, Jackter the Eagle Eye.
 +
 +
Only the highest commanders of each command center were appointed as generals, and it being an honorary position, every command center had a multiple of them. However, there was only one general who was appointed by the Imperial Princess, and that was Jackter. Each of the Special Forces respected him and followed his advice. For that very reason, Jackter the Eagle Eye not only commanded the Imperial Army, but also was the Commander-in-Chief of the entire Empyrean Army.
 +
 +
The legendary Jackter the Eagle Eye, the man who came from the Lawless District and became the first Commander-in-Chief in the Empyrean Army. From his talents alone, he was invited to Ghent and made remarkable contributions, including the subjugation of Anton. He became a national hero that won the hearts of many and the trust of the Imperial Princess. It is said that when he adorns all the medals he had won on his chest, his clothes would glisten like a radiant armor...
 +
 +
With his silver hair combed back behind his ear, Jackter sat in the Commander's Office cutting his nails. But due to having carelessly cut into the flesh, he put his finger in his mouth to suck the blood.
 +
 +
"As you get older, slip ups like this become inevitable."
 +
 +
"I see."
 +
 +
Although he did not like abusing his authority to appear pretentious, there were some times when seen by his subordinates that would make him feel embarrassed. Jackter coughed a few times, and accepted the documents from his adjutant. Since it was often necessary to send the documents to the Nobility, most of the documents were handwritten. Despite Empyrean's level of science and technology that astonished the Arad people, the Nobility valued tradition, still preferring the documents be written by hand. Of course they did not hand write all the documents, but in the face of Jackter, there was always an extra emphasis on taste.
 +
 +
Satisfied upon looking at the handwriting that resembled a neat machine-like print, Jackter put down the document.
 +
 +
"Good work!"
 +
 +
"You haven't finished reading it."
 +
 +
"Shouldn't be a problem."
 +
 +
Woon tilted his head.
 +
 +
"Do you need reading glasses?"
 +
 +
"Damn it. I wouldn't go that far... Anyway, I've read the draft already; the content inside shouldn't have changed that much."
 +
 +
"I added a few more private documents. Please check pages 82 to 84."
 +
 +
Jackter rummaged through the contents as he complained that his diligent subordinate put himself through too much trouble. At first, he just nodded casually, but as he turned to the last page, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
 +
 +
"...This content, have you verified it?"
 +
 +
Woon didn't answer, and handed over the documents to Jackter. Jacker's movements as he flipped through the material became a lot more cautious. Given the pile of information consisting of a stack of internal reports, photographs, and leaked confidential documents, it verified the authenticity of the content submitted by Woon. Jackter repeatedly pondered over every last word, and finally leaned back against his chair.
 +
 +
"Those dumb bastards. I don't know if they're our friends or our enemies..."
 +
 +
"..."
 +
 +
"Is that why they stopped the military from building a hospital? Every day they complain that there's not enough money, and that they don't want to pay taxes. And now they secretly built a treatment center behind our backs to treat our patients for free? And that all the medical supplies were provided by the Empire? Those Northpiece idiots; all they do is bring us food that is completely burnt. Do you think the food brought by the Empire tasted any better? Because I distinctly remember last time the Empire brought a virus, and we were forced to slaughter 50,000 livestock."
 +
 +
"The Nobles said that it was a gift of tribute from the Empire, and that its poor quality should be accepted with leniency."
 +
 +
"Bullshit! The Empire has always been desperately searching for our weaknesses. They are a notorious force in Arad. You see, they don't even provide their supplies free of charge. Just the price of shipping is astronomical, how could they possibly give us that large amount of supplies for free?!
 +
 +
"But the call for vigilance against the Empire is not a priority. Most people think the Empire's weapons are archaic, and that we could subdue them without breaking a sweat."
 +
 +
Jackter sighed as he scratched his hair, and finally spat out a few curse words and threw the documents on the table.
 +
 +
"Do you remember Walshuted?"
 +
 +
"You mean the head of the Imperial Knights, Vaughn Walshuted?"
 +
 +
"Those men were not mere barbarians who only used sticks as weapons. They knew how to use strange skills that I don't know whether it's magic or qigong. Even then, the Knight Master was desperately studying us, and we completely disregarded their skills, just viewing it as some sort of cheap trick.
 +
 +
"Are you saying that if war breaks out, we might not be able to beat them?"
 +
 +
"We'll win, at least for now, but our opponent's military forces and materials are very abundant. We lost half our population, and have no experience in war or diplomacy. We've been isolated for so long that we didn't have the opportunity to prepare."
 +
 +
"Did we not just experience a war?"
 +
 +
Upon hearing such a low-pitched question, Jackter looked up at his adjutant. Although his adjutant always had the same straight face, Jackter could still see in it a sense of naiveté. At that moment, the adjutant's face was void of any emotion, but Jackter recollected to when they first met; the adjutant was beaten black and blue, and had a thinner appearance than that of his peers.
 +
 +
"That was not a war."
 +
 +
"Oh."
 +
 +
"That so-called war... that's just the perspective of the other side. Even if the entire city of Northpiece got involved, it would have been the same. The Kartel only kept its power by killing the weak; that was nothing more than a massacre.
 +
 +
"But in the latter part, many civilians also got involved."
 +
 +
"Those individuals merely noticed a good situation, and took advantage of the opportunity. As Varracht said, by the time he left the organization, the Kartel had already devolved into a pure band of criminals. And what's more is that in Northpiece, the opposition against the Kartel is very high, isn't it? That includes you too..."
 +
 +
Jackter glanced at an old pocket watch on the table.
 +
 +
"... And remember, we cannot ensure victory by merely relying on our own strength. We cannot justify our behavior under the assumption that our defenses would have been impenetrable 'If Anton didn't show up'. Colonel, Empyrean is a country of many problems. We were able to experience many years of peace simply because we haven't encountered any enemies. I understood that a little upon seeing Anton and the Empire. We must be on our guard against them, and the world below. They settled an issue I've been worrying about a long time ago, and are advancing constantly through the means of mass communication. Do not underestimate the progress they've made through the passage of time. We are called Empyrean because of our elevation, not because we are gods."
 +
 +
"Understood."
 +
 +
"Anyway, it's too late for us to be focused on expanding the military. We are already at a numbers disadvantage when compared to the Imperial Army. At this point, enforcing an entry restriction upon them is just all bark and no bite. That damned 'military is useless' ideology is causing our soldiers to gradually become even estranged by their loved ones, and just become a means to vent frustration, but Jurgen doesn't even bat an eye. Although he may have expected this in the end, our soldiers..."
 +
 +
The thought about the soldiers being discharged from the army with just a woefully small amount of retirement money caused even Jackter to really want to throw explosives into the houses of the Nobles. After much effort, he had just managed to get a meal subsidy for the soldiers, but what is food in comparison to the trauma inflicted to the body and mind? Jackter poured himself a mouthful of water in an attempt to extinguish the fire surging in his heart.
 +
 +
"Colonel, do you know what happens when a person dedicates himself to his country only to be betrayed in the end? Anger, only anger remains. And this anger is bound to inevitably exceed that of those who hated the country from the beginning."
 +
 +
Jackter put down his cup and let out a long sigh. He looked at his watch and found that time had flown by considerably. As the meeting time with the Nobility approached, a sense of frustration and helplessness began to wreak havoc in his heart. He was not a politician; he was a soldier who swore to defend his country; moreover, politics did not conform with his nature. And Jurgen, a man whom he originally believed he could count on, has yet to hand over his seal as regent. Jackter was very disappointed with his public pressure on the Imperial Princess. Although he has never completely trusted him as a person, he always believed that Jurgen would be the least likely to cause trouble if the country were in turmoil. But he never considered Jurgen to even have accepted a title from the Empire... His behavior completely subverted Jackter's expectations. Perhaps Jurgen as a politician, thought it was right to his advantage, but Jackter didn't want to understand his position.
 +
 +
Jackter slammed his fist on the table.
  
 +
"I was going to kill Anton and retire! Take a leisure fishing trip and start enjoying life. But now I have to go to work tomorrow, and the day that! Even if nobody wants me to leave, even I want to take the initiative to take a load off! Those bastards, even they ran off one by one during the war..."
 +
 +
Woon squatted down to pick up the pieces of paper that fell from the table, but upon hearing this remark, he turned his head.
 +
 +
"Do you want to fill out a retirement application?"
 +
 +
The Commander-in-Chief of the Empyrean Army uttered a groan.

'How long is this person going to keep following me?...'
+
(How long does he intend on following me?...)
  
<i>It started about a week ago. Upon viewing its physique and tattered garb, at first I thought it was human. But upon closer inspection, I realized she wore an unusually long glove that covered past her left elbow, possessed sharp glowing eyes, and had long, pointed ears akin to that of a Dark Elf. Nevertheless, this unknown Dark Elf has been following me without end for a week now.

<i>Someone's been following me for a week now.

Judging by his physique, which was dressed to the teeth with an old, faded garb, it was far too well-balanced to be considered human. Particularly, what drew my attention were his unusually long glove that came up to his left elbow, his sharp, gleaming eyes and his dark-toned, long, pointed ears.
 +
I see. So it was this mysterious Dark Elf who's been trailing me for the past week.
  
It's strange though; Dark Elves are usually not this obvious. Moreover, finding one wielding a half-sword is even more rare. But, even while facing a Dark Elf, one must never let down his guard. As soon as a person gains a hint of curiosity or caves to chivalry and gives them an upper hand, he may never live to hold a sword ever again.</i>

It's strange though; Dark Elves normally aren't this approachable. Moreover, finding one wielding a sword instead of a bow is even more rare. But, even while facing a Dark Elf, one must never let down his guard.

<Can you see it? That hidden, yet fatal beauty!>
  
<i>Regardless, the rumors in Arad about them are not without merit. Dark Elves encountered by Arad's strongest are said to be the most harsh and ferocious assassins in all of the Underworld; it is not unreasonable to be wary of them. They always examine their unwitting opponents first, searching for an opening on their backs or their weaknesses, before going in for the kill.

<i><p>As the battle raged on and the Heroine still would not fall, Blinde, enthralled with evil energy, unleashed his malicious power uncontrollably in every direction.</br>
 +
Sensing danger, the Heroine deftly avoided the tendrils of doom, then leapt forward while summoning spirits of her own.</br>
 +
The spirits of Fire, Ice, Iron, Earth, and Wind all orbited the Heroine, shielding her from harm while singing a song of the elements.</br>
 +
As soon as the pure, lifting melody reached Blinde's tarred body, he howled and writhed in pain, feeling as though he was being flayed alive.</br>
 +
Every clear note that rang out brought agony to Blinde, yet instilled strength and courage in the Adventurer and Heroine.
 +
The Adventurer, newly bolstered, charged forth with great speed towards Blinde.</br>
 +
Blinde crumpled under the Adventurer's final strike.</br>
 +
As the life faded from its host's body, the parasitic [Black Substance] wriggled free from Blinde.</br>
 +
Once the [Black Substance] escaped, clarity returned to Blinde's eyes. Blinde, struggling against eyelids that were growing too heavy, gazed at the Heroine before him.</br></i>
 +
"......"</br>
 +
<i>Blinde's lips parted, yet were too weak to impart words that could reach the Adventurer and Heroine's ears. Unheard words dissipated meaninglessly into the wind, and Blinde's life soon followed suit.</br>
 +
Blinde's lingering gaze upon the Heroine as his death approached kept coming to the Adventurer's mind. The gaze had been one of longing, of sadness.
 +

<b>Dark</b>
 +
 +
<i><p>As the battle dragged on, an enraged Blinde roared at the Heroine.</br></i>
 +
"Pathetic whelps! How dare you seal me away! The sheer nerve of you all... You shall all come to kneel before me!"</br>
 +
<i>Blinde raised his warhammer high above his head, then brought it crashing to the ground with a thunderous strike.</br>
 +
The Heroine and Adventurer could do little more than to hunker down and hold on for dear life as the earth shook and the walls heaved.</br></i>
 +
"Foolish girl, you know nothing! Are you certain you can be so trusting of your own memories? And yet, still you come here in the hopes of slaying me?"</br>
 +
<i>Blinde's fearsome laughter rang out through the air. The Heroine, who still had memories she could not recollect, seemed to waver for a moment at these words, but soon regained her poise and proceeded to speak to the Adventurer under her breath.</br></i>
 +
"Adventurer, we can't let this go on for much longer. If you can manage to distract Blinde for even just a moment, I am prepared to deliver the final blow."</br>
 +
<i>The Adventurer nodded curtly, then proceeded to promptly charge at Blinde.</br>
 +
As the Adventurer's efforts caught Blinde's attention, the Heroine wasted no time in striking Blinde with all the strength she could muster.</br>
 +
Blinde, distracted for a hair's breadth of a second, could not escape the blade blessed by the spirits that soon plunged deep into his heart.</br>
 +
With the last of his fading strength, Blinde tightly grasped the Heroine's wrist and whispered into her ear.</br></i>
 +
"Foolish warrior, your blade may have found its mark, but I know your eyes still waver with doubt whenever they behold me. I shall bequeath agony unto you from the grave, on the day your memories return and your doubt fades."</br>
 +
<i>Blinde's last words died along with his life, and thus his listless hand dropped to his side.

<i><p>As the battle dragged on, the Heroine spoke to the Adventurer under her breath.</br></i>
 +
"The [Black Substance] that's showing on his skin seems to be controlling Blinde. I will have to try and seal it away by absorbing it with the power of the spirits."</br>
 +
<i>The Adventurer, surprised by this revelation, gazed at the Heroine, seemingly forgetting the heat of battle.</br>
 +
Determination to banish the evil could be seen clearly in the Heroine's eyes.</br>
 +
The Adventurer turned back towards Blinde, and gave a curt nod. The Heroine, seeing the Adventurer's response, stepped forward and gave a great stab with her sword, both hands gripping the hilt tightly.</br>
 +
An incandescent rainbow of mysterious colors burst forth, pulsing and racing around the Heroine, presumably from the power of the spirits that she wielded.</br>
 +
The [Black Substance] that was feeding off of Blinde's body was soon sucked into the aurora of billowing energy.</br>
 +
