ㄴHeavenlyDemon) I couldn’t help but smile while watching them.

ㄴSwordmaster) Every home needs a Wonmo.

ㄴWhat if he drives you into bankruptcy?

ㄴSwordmaster) I have a lot of money, so it’s fine lol.

ㄴA rich unemployed person, damn.

ㄴThe most enviable job in the world.

ㄴDoes she have more money than Flying Dark Elf?

ㄴSwordmaster) Not that much ;;

ㄴIs this the effect of the Celestial Whale’s ambergris?

ㄴThey said they turned it into perfume. Besides, we don’t even know if that’s the only effect.

ㄴWho knows. Maybe if you bury it, the whole area will start floating through the sky lmao.

ㄴHonestly, that would be hilarious lol.

‘They’re having fun.’

The Heroine, Asella, smiled with satisfaction as she looked at Grills’s post.

Lately, the gallery’s posts couldn’t exactly be called pleasant.

Politics related to Eldorado, the Blood Cult, and even real-life confrontations.

She was already busy running away, and having all those problems erupt one after another was exhausting.

To make matters worse, even the Moderator and HeavenlyDemon had ended up involved in the real-life confrontation incident, so proper management couldn’t be expected.

‘I wish there were posts like this every day.’

Although the gallery was filled with human desires, from time to time there were also posts that warmed the heart.

Photos and videos of pets.

Children growing up healthy and strong.

All kinds of heartwarming stories.

They were like flowers blooming in a garbage dump, which made them all the more precious.

‘I wish the situation in Eldorado could be resolved peacefully too…’

Asella lowered her gaze to her hands.

She was holding a newspaper.

[The protests are becoming increasingly violent. What is the Pope’s position?]

[The Pope’s faction claims this is manipulation by the Mage King, Kadir…]

[Citizens respond by demanding the Pope’s resignation…]

The newspaper described the incident that had recently shaken not only Eldorado but the entire world.

It also explained why it had become so difficult for Asella to fulfill her duties as a Moderator lately.

Looking at the newspaper, she fell into deep thought.

‘Why would they say something like that…?’

The Pope’s faction comparing people to dogs and pigs had deeply shocked Asella.

It wasn’t a rumor born in the gallery.

It was something revealed directly by Kadir, the Mage King.

The Pope’s faction insisted the video had been manipulated, but.

Was Kadir the type of person who would do such a thing?

Not at all.

He was known as eccentric, but he wasn’t foolish enough to provoke something like that without reason.

‘The Goddess asked us to build a better world before she departed. So why is this happening…?’

The Pope was not a simple position.

He was the representative of the Goddess.

And the Hero wasn’t an empty title either.

She was the Goddess’s sword, not a blade forged to harm the innocent.

But the current Pope had forgotten his role and was incapable of fulfilling it properly.

Then, as the Goddess’s sword.

What was she supposed to do in a situation like this?

Should she point her sword at the Pope in accordance with the will of the people?

Or should she wait patiently for him to regain his senses on his own?

‘I don’t know that much.’

Pointing her sword at the Pope meant rebellion.

Nothing like that had ever happened in all of Eldorado’s history.

But from another perspective, merely considering an unprecedented rebellion meant that those at the top had become deeply corrupted.

What was rotten had to be cut away.

And to cut it away, a sharp sword was needed.

The sharpest sword of all.

‘…But it doesn’t have to be me.’

Asella pushed the thought aside.

After all, she already carried the stigma of a traitor.

Would it really be wise for her to step forward in a situation like this?

She didn’t think so.

Just a little longer.

She would wait a little longer.

If she kept waiting, an opportunity would come someday.

An opportunity filled with hope to set everything right.

“Excuse me.”

Hearing that voice, Asella turned her head.

For a moment she thought the pursuers had finally found her, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

If it were a pursuit unit, they would be wearing armor openly.

The person in front of her wore a hooded robe.

While Asella remained puzzled, she kept her guard up and spoke.

Without forgetting to discreetly search for an escape route.

“What do you want?”

“I’ve heard rumors that a traitorous Heroine is here.”

“……”

Asella’s eyes narrowed.

This was definitely someone who had come after her.

Her appearance was far too distinctive to conceal with a mere robe.

Beyond how suspicious she looked, her hair was a rare orange color that barely existed in the world.

Everyone knew the Heroine had orange hair, which made tracking her much easier.

Moreover, the sheath of the Holy Sword, Revolution, stood out quite a bit compared to her humble clothing.

For those reasons, no matter how hard Asella tried to hide, rumors of her whereabouts inevitably spread.

‘They’ve already reached this place…? Though I suppose I’ve managed to hold out for quite a long time.’

The chaos in Eldorado had temporarily reduced the intensity of the pursuit, but it seemed that wouldn’t last forever.

Asella prepared to flee at any moment and took a step back.

Then the hooded person spoke with complete certainty.

“You are Asella, right?”

“…?”

Asella tilted her head.

That voice sounded familiar.

It was a woman’s voice, but with a husky tone that gave it a unique charm.

Fwoosh.

The stranger pulled off her robe in one motion.

Her appearance was completely revealed.

The moment she saw her, Asella’s eyes widened.

Short brown hair.

Slightly upturned cat-like eyes.

She gave off a cynical impression, but her extraordinary beauty was impossible to hide.

“S-Sister Reis?”

“Yes, brat. It’s me, your sister. Have you been doing well all this time?”

It was someone she had been very close to before being expelled.

For Asella, who had no family, she was practically a real older sister.

For a brief moment, Asella smiled brightly at the sight of such a familiar face.

But then a question crossed her mind.

“H-How did you know where I was, Sister?”

“I followed the trail of the Paladins chasing you. Right now, I’m ahead of them.”

“That means…”

“They’re in this city.”

That was not good news.

They would have to leave this place as soon as possible.

“Then shouldn’t we run immediately?”

“Yes. Do you have anywhere in mind?”

“Yes. Let’s think about it while we’re heading there.”

Asella and Reis decided to shake off their pursuers first.

As they traveled, they also made sure to catch up on everything that had happened.

What had become of Ludwig.

Whether she knew the situation in Eldorado.

How the Pope was responding.

And many other things.

“That damned Pope. Even with things reaching this point, he still refuses to resign. He keeps saying he can’t abandon the position the Goddess entrusted to him or something like that.”

“……”

“He even purged the Master and now does whatever he wants. If this ends up causing bloodshed…”

It seemed the situation in Eldorado was more serious than Asella had imagined.

She fell into thought.

There were many people protesting, but there was no central figure to unite them.

If a leader appeared, they could probably drive out the Pope.

“……”

“……”

“Asella!”

“Huh? Ah?! What?!”

Asella, who had been lost in thought, flinched.

When she turned her head with a dazed expression, she saw Reis looking at her.

“What are you thinking about? I called you several times and you didn’t even react.”

“Ah… It was nothing. I’m just tired…”

“Tired? Ah, well. I suppose that’s normal. Let’s find somewhere we can rest for a bit.”

“Yes…”

Asella replied quietly while looking at Reis’s face.

It seemed she hadn’t been able to wash properly all this time either.

Her face was quite dirty.

When you were being hunted, taking a bath was a luxury among luxuries.

‘Why does even my sister have to suffer because of this?’

If Ludwig hadn’t sacrificed himself, she would have ended up in the Forest of Four Seasons as well, with no way to avoid it.

Ludwig was somehow still alive, but Reis had surely gone through many hardships.

‘This… can’t continue.’

She couldn’t allow more innocent people to be harmed.

The Pope wasn’t truly serving the Goddess.

He was simply using the blessings she had granted him to cling to power.

And as Asella’s heart slowly began to change.

Shhhhhh—

The Holy Sword, Revolution, also began to emit a faint glow.

***

“Hmm hmm hmm~ Hmm hmm~”

Lately, AllFather, Kadir, had been in an excellent mood.

And for good reason.

He had obtained a new subject of research.

One that would probably appear only once in a lifetime.

“It truly is a beautiful sight.”

He murmured while observing a golden stone preserved inside a translucent membrane.

The true identity of that golden stone was none other than the Celestial Whale excrement that Grills had given him for research.

The mere existence of a Celestial Whale was already enough to turn the academic world upside down.

And this was a residue left behind by that creature.

Ambergris was already an extremely rare object by itself.

But ambergris from a Celestial Whale?

It was such a valuable material that calculating its price was impossible.

‘This ambergris can make living beings float through the sky. And it doesn’t even need to be ingested; simply burning it is enough.’

Information he had discovered thanks to Grills and SunForEver.

Using Celestial Whale ambergris as nothing more than bait or perfume.

Frankly, Kadir wasn’t very fond of that idea.

Not only was it dangerous.

It was also an enormous waste.

Still, he had at least obtained valuable information.

‘I’m certain the secret of the Celestial Whale is hidden within this ambergris.’

The Celestial Whale was a mythical creature that completely ignored known biology.

A sea creature, without wings, flying through the sky?

It was something far more absurd than even the giraffes Grills had mentioned.

‘I’d like to ask Grills to obtain more samples, but…’

The piece of ambergris he had received was roughly the size of an adult’s fist.

It was already enormous.

But human greed had no limits.

And from the perspective of a researcher like Kadir, it still felt insufficient.

‘But still, who could complain? Besides, Grills said he’d give me more if he ended up considering it useless.’

Without a doubt, the ambergris possessed extraordinary value.

But if one asked whether it helped with survival.

The answer would be questionable.

Flying was a fantastic ability, but the process required to obtain it was complicated.

And knowing Grills, Kadir highly doubted he would be willing to abandon his human dignity to eat a pile of excrement.

Knock, knock.

[Kadir. The meeting about the Celestial Whale is about to begin.]

Just as he was considering what experiments to perform with the ambergris.

A mage spoke to him from outside.

The existence of the Celestial Whale had caused an enormous impact on the academic world.

And since the Magic Tower was filled with fanatics of strange phenomena, interest in the Celestial Whale was greater there than anywhere else.

“I’ll be right there.”

Kadir shared that enthusiasm.

He set aside his regret and began preparing for the meeting.

Of course, he would hide the fact that he possessed ambergris.

But he trusted that he would gain new ideas during the discussion.

Before leaving, he cast one final affectionate glance at the ambergris.

And exited the laboratory.

Clack.

Silence once again took hold of the room.

A laboratory filled with instruments and research materials.

And among them all, the object that stood out the most was the ambergris.

That piece protected by a translucent membrane, which Kadir treasured like a priceless possession.

Flash!

Suddenly, it began to emit light.

One might think a stone glowing wasn’t a big deal.

But what happened next surpassed anything imaginable.

RUMBLEEEEE!!!

The entire Magic Tower began to shake.

The earthquake caught everyone by surprise.

Even Kadir.

He had lived his entire life in the Magic Tower and had never experienced a real earthquake.

He had felt vibrations caused by experiments.

But this was completely different.

“W-What the hell?!”

“I-Is it an earthquake?”

The people outside the tower reacted in a similar manner.

The tremor seemed to originate from the tower itself.

But what happened next was even more shocking.

Craaaash!!!

“T-T-There!”

“W-What?!”

One person pointed at the Magic Tower.

The others turned their heads.

And then they witnessed a scene so incredible that it bordered on horrifying.

The Magic Tower had always been famous for its immense height.

But now.

It was still rising.

Higher and higher.

As if the entire land beneath it were ascending into the sky.

Slowly, but inexorably.

“T-The Magic Tower…!”

“It’s flying?!”

“B-By Aragorn…”

The Magic Tower had begun floating in the sky.

***

“Wow. This is so much fun. Wonmo, shall we fly again?”

“Kyuu!”

“Okay, okay. But only one more time.”

“I don’t want to!”

“I wasn’t asking for your opinion.”

Once you got used to it.

This was actually pretty fun too.
