The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 78: The Battle of Tylant (1)

Rubia hurriedly composed her expression and looked around.

The visibility, once obscured by the blizzard, cleared up entirely.

The scene of the street, which had been invisible just moments ago, was now fully visible.

Hundreds of people could be seen.

The blizzard, which had intensified overnight, had caused many disappearances.

Though they were referred to as "missing," most were as good as dead.

These were the people who had gathered to search for the missing.

Adventurers with notable reputations.

Knights recognized by the Empire and revered by the citizens.

While it seemed excessive to deploy such a large force just to search for missing persons, these individuals silently carried out their duties.

They searched for the missing and confirmed the deaths.

Having checked about half of the hastily compiled list...

The blizzard stopped.

No, it came to a halt.

“L-Rubia-nim!”

Rubia, caught in the chaos, heard her name urgently called by one of her subordinates. She steadied her shaking voice.

“...Yes.”

“This... this is the first time for you too, right?”

Rubia was familiar with the blizzards that came to Ursphere.

The white disaster, the wrath of Tylant.

The blizzard, known by this ominous title, was something she had experienced before.

It always arrived suddenly, bringing not only the missing but also the dead.

But this time...

It hadn't just stopped. It had ceased completely.

“I... I’m not sure either.”

“Ugh... What is happening?”

Rubia couldn’t comprehend what was unfolding.

But as the person responsible for Ursphere, Rubia checked her emotions and her expression.

“Anyway, it’s a good thing. Let’s finish this. Just like we’ve been doing. Find the remaining missing persons, and gather the bodies of the dead. Vekan, please prioritize finding Hephaestus.”

“Yes. Understood.”

The man who had been standing beside Rubia reluctantly nodded and moved away.

As Rubia was about to move to find Hephaestus herself...

The blizzard that had once frozen in the air started swirling again.

No, it wasn’t just swirling... it was flowing.

The direction of the flow was constant.

The speed was also constant.

Rubia’s gaze followed the flow.

The summit of Karahan.

A magic circle of an unimaginable size, along with a small orb, could be seen.

The blizzard was flowing towards it.

It flowed, gathered, and the orb began to grow in size.

The murmurs of the people ceased.

The sounds stopped.

It was as if time itself had come to a halt.

Everyone stood still, staring at the summit of Karahan.

The orb’s size grew exponentially.

The color of the magic circle gradually began to shift.

And then...

The blizzard that had spread throughout Ursphere vanished, gathering at the summit of Karahan.

The orb slowly began to expand.

It expanded and expanded.

Under the sky, another sky blossomed.

Not a blue sky, but a murky, white sky.

A sky made of snow, covering the heavens.

Soon...

The shape of the magic circle changed.

It flipped over.

Twisted, shattered, and reformed.

It depicted the form of a black sun.

And then...

“Huh...?”

The sky collapsed.

It poured and flowed.

An avalanche, large enough to cover the Karahan mountain range, occurred.

Natural disaster.

The catastrophe that swallowed everything as it approached crushed the hearts of the people.

It gave them despair.

It stole away their hope.

No matter how strong one was, no matter how wise, no matter how revered by everyone, no matter how rich or experienced...

Whether they were good or evil...

In the end, humanity was reminded that they were mere mortals.

There were no screams in Ursphere.

No laments.

No sorrow.

Only the overwhelming disaster crushed everything.

And all they could do was stare at the coming death.

Rubia looked on, contemplating.

Can we escape?

No, we cannot.

Can we stop it?

Absolutely not.

Evacuating the citizens?

Impossible.

The only ones who could survive...

At best, the Masters.

If this had been a regular avalanche, perhaps other adventurers and knights would have survived.

But this was no ordinary avalanche.

An unnatural disaster filled with a will to destroy everything.

There was no escaping, no stopping it, no surviving.

All that was left was to wait for death, like a worthless mortal under the sky.

But still, Rubia tried to struggle.

With trembling hands, she gripped her staff.

She whipped her legs, which were on the verge of collapsing, to force herself to stand.

She clenched her teeth so hard they made a sharp sound, fighting off the nausea.

She tightened her robe and took a step forward.

Towards the entrance.

She didn’t need to persuade other adventurers.

She didn’t because she couldn’t bear the responsibility.

She simply walked, silently, following her own path.

If she was going to die, she didn’t want to do so disgracefully.

Perhaps her actions stirred something in the other adventurers.

Some of them, who had been trembling in place, began to follow her.

“You’re going to die. Definitely.”

Rubia forced herself to speak in a calm voice.

“Yes. I know.”

Vekan, representing those who followed, answered.

“I can’t take responsibility.”

“Does it matter?”

“Well, at least the Empire or the guilds will recognize us.”

“As long as the pension keeps coming to our families, I don’t care.”

Vekan shrugged and laughed.

“Maybe we’ll end up stopping it. If we do, we’ll be heroes and rich.”

Rubia swallowed a hollow laugh at his nonsense.

Stopping that disaster.

Ridiculous.

But she didn’t bother correcting him.

“Heh, it’s... not a bad idea.”

And Rubia, too, smiled slightly as she approached death.

When they reached the entrance...

The adventurers, who had seemed ready to relax and joke, fell silent.

They couldn’t help but.

What they saw was a disaster like no other.

Though they hadn’t even passed halfway up Karahan yet...

Though its shape was still unclear...

The impulse to flee right away surged within them.

The terror was so overwhelming that even tears couldn’t fall. Their bodies shook uncontrollably, then froze in place.

Rubia, too, thought she had seen her fair share of danger and survived countless life-threatening situations.

But this disaster was different from anything else.

With a bitter smile, she drove her staff into the ground.

Charlotte and Yuria. Rubia and Noah...

And even the missing Hephaestus.

She didn’t know where they were.

But she hoped they survived.

She believed they were the ones who would bring light to this world, a world without it.

She couldn’t be the core of it all, but...

She could at least stay by their side.

She decided to try her best.

The disaster's shape became clearer.

The snowflakes all turned into saw blades, tearing everything apart as they rushed forward.

And amidst them, thousands of monsters lurked.

Could they stop even one second of it?

She didn’t know.

How could a mere human block the sky?

Still, she raised her magic.

Driving her staff into the ground, she created a wall in midair.

Layer after layer, she built up walls, drawing every last bit of her magic.

And then, when other wizards raised their own walls...

Boom!

With a sound like a mountain range collapsing, the disaster reached the entrance.

Ah, this can’t be stopped.

There’s no way.

They’re going to die.

They are dead.

There’s no escaping.

Pure terror soaked her body.

She barely managed to keep herself upright, leaning on her staff.

Unconsciously, tears fell.

Within a minute, they would all be dead.

In two minutes, Ursphere would be destroyed.

Listening to the cries soaked in despair from behind...

Rubia tried to close her eyes.

At that moment...

The disaster split.

It split and tore apart.

It scattered and broke apart.

“Well, at least... you guys are better than the idiots who ran away.”

From the point where a young girl stood...

The disaster shattered.

“Stop daydreaming and go back to clean up the mobs.”

She slaughtered thousands of monsters.

She had destroyed the Karpen.

The Master and the cultist.

The adventurer, Noah, had cut down the disaster.

“What... what is that... What... No... What’s going on... Huh...?”

Rubia, who had witnessed it but couldn’t form coherent thoughts, muttered incomprehensibly...

And finally, collapsed.

“Nice.”

Rubia, who had fainted, was carried away by the adventurers, and as she rubbed her sore eyes, she felt the various energies swirling inside her body.

First, there were two types of elixirs: a complete elixir and a defective one with side effects.

It must have been from Yuria.

I’ll try to control it as much as I can until the end. However, with my height shrinking... and my intelligence slightly decreasing, there’s nothing I can do.

My intelligence is already at rock bottom... It can't get any worse.

Next, there’s Rubia’s divine power.

Thanks to this, I’ve gained an opportunity.

I don't know why it's now, or what the intention behind it is... but following her wishes seems to be the right thing to do.

And third, there’s my own magic.

My disordered magic is rampaging wildly inside my body.

This... will be troublesome, but I’ll need to sort it out before my consciousness fades.

With a click of my tongue, I looked up at the summit of Karahan.

I could feel the murderous intent of the white disaster.

I embraced it with my whole body and let out a faint smile.

That arrogant Cola Bear.

After being slaughtered by me and turned into a coat, now it's spewing out more killing intent?

Of course, it won’t remember, but it's still so damn arrogant.

Unlike last time, though, Rubia is with me now.

I’ll have to make a coat for her too.

Then... we’ll be a couple.

Though it’s a bit disappointing... still, imagining Rubia’s joy made me smile.

I planted my greatsword into the ground and stretched.

Stretching my body, I completed the movement.

I headed toward the summit.

I had about a day’s time.

I would finish it in half a day.

The remaining time...

I’d spend it on a date with Rubia.

Thinking about what to do, I couldn't help but smile.

While walking with a smile on my face, I felt another seal being released.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Four times.

In the past, I had faced Tylant, who had four seals broken.

Half.

And now, with four more seals broken, all eight of them were undone.

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--!!]

All the seals ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ that had bound Tylant were undone.

At the summit of Karahan.

Tylant rose to its feet.

A chilling aura spread, making my body shiver.

And then, it leapt into the air.

It passed me.

It leapt toward Ursphere.

Why?

To kill the challenger?

Could it be because I’m no longer a worthy opponent?

I don’t know.

Maybe Lilith got involved again.

“Ah, damn...”

Gritting my teeth, I ran toward Ursphere.

Yuria is in danger.

This time, I’ll definitely save her.
