Helmut: The Forsaken Child - H.F.C Chapter 479 (Part 2):

The Demon King was mistaken. Darien was not one to appeal to sympathy and bend himself at any moment.

If tempted by that, it would disgrace the Sword Saint Darien.

‘Thank you.’

For letting me see him again. Helmut swung his sword down as is. Containing all his realms.

One time was enough.

His Vis cleaved the air, and soon cut down the space ahead itself.

Kwa-jijijik!

As the illusion collapsed, the Demon King who had reached close was seen.

The Demon King’s form pushing in with full power, breaking the protective barrier.

And in the middle, a long straight line appeared. A huge scar like a cliff split in two divided the Demon King into two.

Kieeeeee!

With a bizarre sound, the halved Demon King twisted while spewing black smoke.

Only then did the pressure disappear, and Alea and Heike, who had barely been supporting the golem, breathed a sigh of relief.

Helmut lightly stepped back. Next was her turn.

Levina’s steps moved, who had been watching with a firm expression.

Already, bright light was rising from her body.

What was in her both hands was Lumen’s sacred artifact.

Using the sacred artifact as a medium, pour all power to burn the Demon King.

The halved Demon King emitted angry magi. He was neutralized, but not dead.

If the demon world opens, he will recover quickly as if nothing happened. Now was the chance. The chance that each one of them created to reach here.

And now it was Levina’s turn.

Levina looked up and murmured.

“O Lumen.”

What she was looking at was not the Demon King.

Beyond that, in the sky that the Demon King had his back to, the Sacred Barrier, which is Lumen’s true form, was shining.

Lumen was looking down. The god she had served her whole life. Walking into his embrace would be the greatest honor for a High Priest.

Levina’s body floated up gently. A faint smile passed her lips.

The light pouring from her body was becoming brighter and brighter. As if another sun had risen. So bright that it was dazzling.

She was becoming the sun herself, heading toward the source of light. It was an ignition that burned even the body. Truly pouring all Holy Power.

Guaaaa!

The Demon King made a bizarre sound like a seizure, trying to push her away.

But Holy Power is the natural enemy of demonic energy. The Demon King’s power dissipated as it reached her.

And soon, collision. It was the majesty of light burning darkness.

Overwhelming light, as if seeing the birth of the world, dominated the vision.

It was brilliance that could blind the eyes. No one could look properly.

Guoooooo!

Letting out a death cry, the Demon King’s body scattered with black smoke.

Even the fringes of magi like smoke were crushed and extinguished by the Sacred Barrier that began functioning again.

And finally, Levina’s body, having fulfilled all duties, melted and disappeared in the light.

What remained was only dust of light floating in the air.

She lived as a High Priest, was human for a moment, and met her end as a High Priest.

Yes, she probably wanted to be human, even for a moment. At the end of her life.

The light swirling in the air soon flickered and condensed into one. And after the instant of burning the last darkness, it exploded.

Guuuung!

The sound wasn’t great, but a tremendous gust arose.

Ku-gung!

At that wave, the bird’s body lost power and bent downward. Everyone was hit the same. For a moment, everyone held their breath.

Along with that, the upper sky reached a complete vacuum of power. That meant the loss of magic effects.

The problem was that they were floating in the high sky.

Kiiiiiii!

With a whooshing sound, the bird that stopped functioning began to fall.

They all fell toward the far below like small meteors.

Helmut narrowed his eyes against the wind resistance.

Already separated from the golem, he was thrown into the air.

They had just defeated the Demon King, yet they were in danger of dying from falling.

However, Helmut was not worried. Although his power was exhausted, there was remaining power.

“Helmut!”

With a short cry, Alea grabbed his hand. While falling downward, escaping the power vacuum, she could use magic.

Their hands strongly overlapped in the sky.

Helmut reached out and grabbed her shoulder. However, Alea exclaimed with a bewildered look.

“The magic isn’t working well!”

It was the first time seeing such an anxious expression from her. She had exhausted her magic above.

In the Forest of Roots, it’s originally difficult to use magic, and the atmosphere was chaotic. How much harder to use magic while falling.

The ground was approaching rapidly. Eardrums tingled, and blade-like wind pierced all soft parts of the skin. Speed where it’s hard even to open eyes.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung!

The golem that fell first raised dust on the ground with a tremendous sound.

A sandstorm rushed up from that wave.

Fortunately, Alea succeeded in casting the magic. Helmut and Alea’s speed was decreasing.

But as if affected by the impact from above, the magic’s effect was weak.

At this rate, they would collide. They couldn’t avoid serious injury.

“Be careful!”

Helmut exclaimed while embracing Alea. A movement that was both instinctive and calculated.

His body is sturdy, and if Alea is fine, she can heal with magic.

However, that thought came later, and his body moved first.

But in the end, the collision did not occur. Their bodies floated gently just before impact and then landed.

“I am an archmage, after all.”

Heike smiled as she slowly descended from the air. They all landed lightly together.

Alea opened her mouth. Uncharacteristically embarrassed.

“Heike.”

“You two are sticking together well without paying attention to surroundings. No need to worry.”

At those words, both had nothing to say. Because both had forgotten Heike’s existence for a moment.

In any case, they succeeded. Although they were four, now three.

Finally, one gate remained.

Their gazes moved to one place. It was the direction where the entrance to the demon world was.
