Before he knew it, the traces of battle were scattered all around him. Even after five hundred spirits had been reverse-summoned, his body still felt stiff.

Though it once resembled the decorative sword dances nobles - [5986-chapter-947](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5986-chapter-947/) - “This place supposedly has the best bead ice cream on the continent.” A black-haired youth, clearly a swordsman of Zieghart, winked at the blonde woman walking beside him. Whether it was a date or not, a warm and gentle atmosphere flowed between the two. “Really?” The blonde woman widened her eyes in surprise. “Considering how - [5985-chapter-946](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5985-chapter-946/) - “The Chamber of Self, huh….” Glenn narrowed his eyes as he looked at Raon. “I haven’t checked recently, but no one’s entered since Karoon, so you should be able to go in now.” He nodded, saying enough time had passed for the Chamber of Self to recover its power. “But why now, all of a - [5984-chapter-320](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5984-chapter-320/) - Morning broke once again on the same day. Encrid was repeating today all over again. The chain of foreboding that had surpassed his [Perception of Evasion] still bound his body. His limbs were stiff; he could not move. And once again, all he could do was watch his comrades die. By evening, Encrid said what - [5983-chapter-319](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5983-chapter-319/) - Encrid’s eyes instinctively swept over the man before him. Legs set at a casual distance, arms hanging loose, messy brown hair and dull eyes without any sense of individuality, plain and worn clothes that belonged neither to an enemy nor an ally. Several questions struck him at once. First—how had this man gotten here? Second—just - [5982-chapter-318](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5982-chapter-318/) - When I got up, my head spun. It was from lying down too long. I staggered for a moment but quickly regained balance. The senses honed from countless repetitions of today adjusted for the subtle differences and stabilized my stance. ‘Not bad.’ A familiar feeling washed over me again. Standing up, I turned my head - [5981-chapter-317](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5981-chapter-317/) - While Encrid was roasting in pain and repeating yet another day, Dunbakel and Sinar moved swiftly, clashing violently with the pursuing enemy cavalry.

The commander at the very front couldn’t speak. Seeing that, his deputy spoke beside him. “We lost him.” It couldn’t be helped. They threw a rope as a last resort, caught him, and yet he broke it apart with sheer force and escaped. Superhuman strength. And that wasn’t even the - [5979-ch-180](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5979-ch-180/) - A small problem came up. The field was a bit larger than I’d expected. About 1,298 times larger, to be exact. It stretched all the way to the horizon. I was standing in the middle of what looked like an endless sea of farmland, and apparently, 'all' of it was the field in question. Damn. - [5978-ch-179](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5978-ch-179/) - “Hmm.” No matter how hard I thought about it, I still couldn’t figure out what Ash had meant. Clearly, this was a job for Rai. That guy was annoyingly objective—he’d probably figure it out in seconds. Too bad I’d already sentenced him to temporary confinement myself. I glared at Ash’s retreating back, still fuming with - [5977-ch-178](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5977-ch-178/) - Even if my attack speed and reflexes were faster than most mages, they were nothing compared to swordsmen who trained their entire lives around that. Rai’s overwhelming defense helped, sure, but there were times I couldn’t bring him out, and times when I couldn’t use him publicly. So I needed countermeasures. Down with Rovenin! Swordsmanship - [5976-ch-177](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5976-ch-177/) - I clutched my stomach and rolled once across the grass, laughing. Lil looked rather upset, but her big childish dream really did make me laugh. “Ah, my stomach… I’ll root for you. But since becoming a Spirit Mage isn’t an option, better have a backup plan.” “Why can’t I be a Spirit Mage?” “You can’t - [5975-ch-176](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5975-ch-176/) - So this is what it means when a good deed brings another good deed. Finding that brooch got us a place to stay and horses, which turned into a reward of rain. Still, I can’t help but feel uneasy, like I’ve somehow gotten caught in Ash’s schemes. I have this weird condition where doing something - [5974-chapter-195](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5974-chapter-195/) - Reading the report Dora handed her, Nerys murmured thoughtfully. “Twenty years ago. No other absences since then?” “Yes, Your Grace. Other than that, she’s always appeared at social gatherings in the capital every few days without fail. They say that’s also when she began taking the medicine.” That meant that among the Marquis of Lykeandros’s - [5973-chapter-194](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5973-chapter-194/) - “No, not exactly. She said it was for restorative medicine—she was being rather picky about what suited her body and what didn’t. Some of the ingredients are hard to find these days, so I mentioned that, and she said she was willing to pay extra. She didn’t look well at all, though. She also asked - [5972-chapter-193](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5972-chapter-193/) - The young host of the classical poetry salon greeted the Grand Duchess and her husband with great delight. “It’s the greatest honor to have both Your Graces here today!” It was understandable.

The half-collapsed wall, the blackened ground. The wide field showing traces of a terrible fire was where the Duke of Elandria’s mansion once stood. Now, not a single brick remained intact. “……This is…….” She had indeed seen flames and smoke rising - [5970-chapter-191](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5970-chapter-191/) - It began with the back of her hand. Nerys’s slender wrists were caught in Cledwyn’s large grasp. She felt trapped, unable to move—both because of his hold and the way his persistent, intent gaze bound her just as tightly.

The faint - [5969-chapter-176](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5969-chapter-176/) - “He opened his eyes!” The one shouting desperately for Kang-hyuk was, of course, Jang-mi. Beside her stood Jaewon, Gyeongwon, Captain Lee Dong-joo, and Internal Medicine Director Yoon Jae-ho. Only Kang-hyuk hadn’t entered yet. It wasn’t because he was slacking off. “Hey, you’re all healed already.” He was busy ruffling a young boy’s hair. Next to - [5968-chapter-175](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5968-chapter-175/) - “He really is something else.” Assemblyman Park Sung-min muttered as he flipped through the newspaper clippings his secretary had organized that morning. Everyone lived busy lives, but for the floor leader of the main opposition party, it was an endless race with no time to breathe. Still, that didn’t mean he could ignore new issues. - [5967-chapter-174](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5967-chapter-174/) - “The Commissioner?” “Yes.” “What’s that man doing here…” Kang-hyuk frowned deeply as the memory resurfaced—how he once lost a patient because of that very man whose face and name he hadn’t even known. His impression of the Commissioner wasn’t good, and it was the same for Jang-mi and Jaewon. They all wore similar expressions. “Ah, - [5966-chapter-145](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5966-chapter-145/) - All doubts began to melt away like snow—but at the same time, confusion grew even stronger.

The Ten-Tailed Fox was the god of foxes. Had he revealed that from - [5965-chapter-144](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5965-chapter-144/) - The moment Cheon-ryeong was reverse-summoned—in the realm of the final trial— …the Gumiho, 'Aurum', lifted his gaze toward the sky.

Even if he was under her charm, other foxes could use their powers as well. Especially 'Aurum', who, like her, was a Gumiho. ‘If by any chance Park Chan-woo falls under Aurum’s charm, I’ll have no way to stop it.’ As - [5962-chapter-141](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5962-chapter-141/) - The moment the name 'Ten-Tailed Fox' was mentioned, a crack formed in Gumiho Yoo Jin-seo’s expression. ‘…I can become the Ten-Tailed Fox?’ It was every fox’s dream, their ultimate aspiration. In short, it was the 'god' of foxes—an ultimate being lost to time. When the Ten-Tailed Fox still existed, even the demons of the Abyss - [5961-chapter-305](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5961-chapter-305/) - The students of Lumene entered the banquet hall dressed in their finest. Inside, the second-year students of Damienne were already waiting, lined up neatly in their well-fitted uniforms, just like on the first day. “That’s the guy?” “He’s the one who got Master Dweno’s alchemy tome as a conquest reward, right?” The Damienne students’ eyes - [5960-chapter-304](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5960-chapter-304/) - “Wow, it’s absolute chaos.

The Fool’s Valley was enveloped by a barrier that prohibited spatial travel. Anyone attempting teleportation without knowing the exact coordinates would have their body disintegrated instantly.

It was said - [5846-chapter-132](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5846-chapter-132/) - …Master of the Void. The phrase itself was contradictory. The void meant nonexistence, emptiness. How could there be a master of what does not exist? And yet, Park Chan-woo felt it. The tension in the Destroyer Cygnus’s tone. More precisely… the trembling of its soul. ‘It recognized waves as souls.’ There was another surprising fact. - [5845-chapter-131](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5845-chapter-131/) - I had certainly experienced a similar situation before.

When Leo returned home, he found his party members in utter disarray and shook his head. “I can guess what happened… but I’ll ask anyway.

It pushed back the domains of Paragup and Keboruak, creating Taesan’s own sacred ground. [Don’t be ridiculous!] Keboruak resisted fiercely. His domain rose up, trying to suppress the divinity.

No matter how powerful the Thousand-Year Spider was, in the end it was still a spider.

That was the answer to a question about his condition. Graham, lying in bed, only lifted his head to look at Encrid. He had been pierced through the back and couldn't move properly. In other words, the standing forces of the Border Guards had lost their commander. They now had to fight a - [5808-chapter-301](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5808-chapter-301/) - Waaaaaaaah! As soon as they entered the Border Guards, the roar of the crowd pounded their ears. His whole body tingled. Everyone—without exception—rushed out and screamed, so of course it did.

Maybe even now, it still is. “Geenie.” “I’m sorry.” As annoying as it is to admit, I’m not the apologizing type. Serious talk like this?

All because she had volunteered for the task. ‘Same age as - [5800-chapter-179](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5800-chapter-179/) - Aidalia greeted Nerys with excessive politeness. "Hello, Nerys. It's been a while." "I didn't know you were here, Aidalia." Nerys responded curtly.

Fortunately, Assemblyman Park had already been briefed well beyond the HIRA documents. He also knew exactly how Kang-hyuk usually spoke and acted.

He’d long dreamed - [5794-chapter-163](https://webnoveltranslations.com/chapter_text_content/5794-chapter-163/) - Captain Lee Hyun-jong’s condition was visibly improving day by day.
