Helmut: The Forsaken Child - H.F.C Chapter 479 (Part 1):

Helmut slowly closed and opened his eyes, then nodded. As if to say he understood.

It wasn’t about forgiveness. He did not forgive.

But separately from that, he accepted her apology. Because he seemed to understand why she was saying such things only now.

‘You are still better than my mother.’

She devoted herself as a High Priest, not sparing her life, and plunged into this Forest of Roots.

His mother merely lost the future where she would enjoy power as the Grand Duchess.

Levina calmly opened her mouth.

Helmut slowly closed and opened his eyes, then nodded. As if to say he understood.

It wasn’t about forgiveness. He did not forgive.

But separately from that, he accepted her apology. Because he seemed to understand why she was saying such things only now.

‘You are still better than my mother.’

She devoted herself as a High Priest, not sparing her life, and plunged into this Forest of Roots.

His mother merely lost the future where she would enjoy power as the Grand Duchess.

Levina calmly opened her mouth.

“If it becomes known that the Temple of Lumen can be wrong, in numerous urgent and critical moments, many people will hesitate. Under various pretexts.”

The Temple of Lumen stood tall above humans’ heads, leading them with powerful justifications and the merit of protecting the world.

The Temple of Lumen was an absolute that could not be defied, but since they were human, they became corrupt and decadent.

Thus, they faced difficulties.

But if they return with the merit of defeating the Demon King, their wrongs will be buried.

Ironically, this incident was beneficial to them. As long as it is resolved well.

Therefore, Levina had no reason to apologize. But she was apologizing.

It was the only opportunity to shake off anything that remained, even the slightest bit, in her heart.

“If you listen to many reasons, bet on hopeful possibilities, and compromise, in the end, you can’t do anything. Protecting the world will become even harder. Therefore, the Temple of Lumen must always be right.”

A subtle tremor appeared on Levina’s face as she spoke indifferently. Helmut replied with a still expressionless face.

“If the Demon King disappears, the Temple’s great justification will disappear.”

“How to walk the path ahead will be the responsibility of the new generation.”

In a world where the visible miracle called the Sacred Barrier disappears, the Temple of Lumen will face numerous challenges.

But Levina’s role ends here.

Finally, the preparation was complete.

The black pillar blurred and then flickered out. The supply of magi was cut off.

The Demon King’s gaze moved downward. Red eyes were looking at them from the sky.

The humans who had come right up to his nose!

Yes, they were humans. However, one among them… was he truly human?

The one carrying the Demon King’s power moved.

“I’ll go first.”

Helmut stood at the tip of the golem’s head.

Eeeeeeeng.

Tremendous pressure crushed them.

Heike and Alea poured all their magic to sustain the protective barrier.

If they let their guard down even a little, the bird would fall straight down to the ground.

Helmut was standing right in front of that barrier.

The Demon King was sticking his head out from the Sacred Barrier toward this side.

With the Sacred Barrier at his back, he was lowering his entire massive cloud-like body to attack the enemies.

The will of darkness descending from that high sky.

The abyss containing all shapes of evil, ferocity, and destruction shone red eyes from the void.

Truly a form worthy of being called the Demon King.

No one told him what to do. Helmut simply drew his sword.

Cut that thing. With all his might.

The Vis from his entire body condensed into one place. Vis rose from Helmut’s sword.

The Vis, resembling the flame of the soul, was ash-gray.

Under the Demon King’s gaze, the seal shattered. Faint demonic energy flickered in his sword as if resonating with the Demon King.

Also, the Seed of Darkness.

The Seed of Darkness wriggled as if controlled by the Demon King. However, that weak resistance was soon overwhelmed by the Vis.

Vis is the swordsman’s spirit. The Vis that fully contained Helmut’s realm was solely his.

It was powerful enough to control his entirety.

‘One clean cut.’

He would open the path, and Levina would deliver the final blow.

Helmut drew back his sword.

The Demon King bared beast-like teeth. The red eyes flashed like an instant.

[Helmut.]

Helmut flinched. That voice……. it was somehow familiar.

At that moment, darkness filled Helmut’s vision.

In the distorting vision, soon an image was captured.

In front of Helmut stood a man. A man who once felt as heavy as Mount Tai.

[Are you pointing your sword at me now?]

The low voice sternly rebuked him.

Darien’s face, which wasn’t even left in a portrait, that voice. The exact appearance.

As if carved directly from Helmut’s memory.

[The souls of those who died in the Forest of Roots cannot leave this place. I am your master!]

Darien looked at Helmut with eyes that seemed to appeal.

Are you going to cut me? Eyes asking that.

However, far from being shaken, chills rose, and his mind awakened.
