The cold never ceased throughout the year. Aurelia and the members of the first subjugation squad remained faithful to their commitment, standing where they were and guarding the Dragon. "....Are you tired Aurelia? It's been several months since we've been here. Isn't it okay if you take a break?" Daphne looked around. "Reinforcements from the town should also get back here soon. When they come, we'll be able to tell them of the situation." "....." Despite Daphne's words, Aurelia's…-

"Haa... Haaa..." Her breathing was rough and her entire body shook. "D-did we do it...?" Aurelia felt like her voice was hardly coming out. Looking at the enormous creature lying down in the distance, her breathing stopped. What should've been an easy expedition turned into a far more difficult one than they had anticipated. A monster of gigantic proportions showed up. It was powerful. To the point where it would leave one in despair. "G-guys?" Aurelia looked around her. The…

It was a cold day. Just like it usually was. Ellnor was a city located high above sea level. The cold weather was something that Aurelia was used to by now. "Here, wear this. It's getting cold." She had a younger brother. He was about to turn ten in just a few months. Aurelia herself was only fourteen, but she was talented in the field of magic. It was her talent that allowed for her and her brother to survive in the treacherous conditions. The two of them had no parents. They had died…

It all happened so fast that nobody even had the time to react. "Move! Move...!" "Fall back!" "Retreat...!" Seeing the incoming waves of undead, the cadets had no choice but to retreat. The same was true for Leon who hastily moved back. SHIIING--! With his sword, he slashed past everything that was in his way, helping some of the cadets along the way. Pfttt! "Let me help!" "Akh...!" They were a group comprised of fifteen cadets. The elites of Haven, and yet, they were all…

The air was tense. Feeling the necromancer's gaze, it felt as though I was on pins and needles. My skin crawled, and my legs felt like lead. Breathing alone became hard. "Huff." It felt as though a heavy truck was weighing down on our chest. "Haa... Haaa..." Thousands of eyes were locked onto us. "Hiek—!" A screech came out of the necromancer's mouth. It was hard to see its features, covered beneath the cloak, but the necromancer wasn't tall. From where I stood, it appeared to be…

Sometimes, all it took was one mutual interest for people to hit it up with each other suddenly. "....The fuck am I witnessing?" "This..." "I'm not seeing things wrong, am I?" "...." It was the next day. The expedition group had resumed their walk towards the necromancer. However, compared to the previous day, things appeared to be different. "Hahahah! You're good!" ".....Thank you." It was Julien and Professor Hollowe. Walking ahead of everyone, the two had been inseparable…

The more I stayed in the town the more apparent it became to me that what I had previously seen was just a facade. Walking around the cobblestone streets to head for the main entrance of the town, I could feel the gloom on the people's faces. It hadn't been obvious before, but it was clear now. "….." My steps halted as I spotted a figure in the distance. He was the captain. Currently taking care of the wounded, his face was pale as he ran around. "Someone get me some water! Heal him…

Thump! "Just a little longer! The sun is almost up!" Thump! "Don't give up now! We're almost there!" Thump! One by one, soldiers dropped down to the ground due to exhaustion. "Keep going! Just a little longer!" The captain's voice continued to echo throughout. He appeared to be the most tired of them all, but by sheer willpower, he kept himself standing as he continued to bark orders. Clank—! Clank—! The knights below were also on their last legs, struggling to contain the…

'....Is it possible?' The idea seemed feasible. However, I wasn't sure if I could actually do it. What if there was a limit to the second leaf? A limit that prevented me from using it on those who had died for far too long. What then...? Xiu! Xiu! The thunderous echoes of ballistae firing resonated in the distance as I stood atop the city walls, gazing down at the unfolding spectacle below. 'The goal of this expedition is to find the necromancer. So far, in the thirty years that the…

WHIII— "What's going on?" "What's happening? What is this sound...?" The blaring sound of the horn echoed throughout the air. It was loud, and as if a spell had been cast on the entire town, the atmosphere drastically changed. It suddenly became extremely tense. Cli Cla— The lights went out everywhere, and the shops closed, leaving everything deserted in an instant. Just as we were wondering about what was going on, Professor Bridgette entered the reception with Professor Hollowe…
