Chapter 879

[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]

Preemptive strike.

Of course, performing individual combat itself is something that any superhuman can do, but the Alliance still doesn't know the exact combat power and special abilities of the demons from the True Demon World.

Therefore, they needed a martial artist who had an especially high chance of escaping from any "sudden unforeseen situation" that might arise from the enemy's side. Unless it was Zito himself coming down.

Jin, Murakan, Vallas, Alpen, Tasha, Luna, Luntia, Tuben, Heijin, Vanessa, Zed, Bale, Hedo, Dante, Owal, Yona, Talaris.

Around that number of superhumans fulfilled the requirements of the mission.

Among them, Jin and Murakan were the commander-in-chief and the last line of defense, so it was right for them to stay in the command center as much as possible. The former patriarchs, the Black Knights, and Zed should protect Huphester.

Bale was the core of the defensive wall along with the golden ship, and Dante couldn't leave the Empire, of course. Owal and Yona were always on infiltration and reconnaissance missions, and Talaris was still watching Zito's eye.

Therefore, the three people who can move flexibly were Luna, Luntia, and Hedo. Even so, the constant mission of "cleaning up fractures" was a common task for all superhumans, so there was no room for complacency.

"Fractures continue to form throughout the Alliance, and our troops and superhumans continue to fight accordingly. The world is chaotic, so we can't exclude the possibility that the enemy might suddenly break the ceasefire and attack our side."

"Yes, we can't guarantee that those guys will keep defending forever. Moreover, Ayula mentioned that the former battle god of the Plutonian Tribe, Luke, will soon start his activities in the human world."

"Luke, what choice the Sun God Religion sect makes when they appear in the human world is also crucial. Whether they will stick more closely with Zipfel or eventually part ways... Either way, they are still enemies we have to defeat."

Jin and his companions exchanged opinions for a while to select the main characters of this counterattack against the True Demon World.

"Elder sister Luna seems like a good choice."

"Yes, it seems best to send the strongest of the three."

"Agreed unanimously."

It is a self-proclaimed fact that Luna was someone who had the potential to "win" in any situation. Even the strongest of the previous generation, including Chiron, Kelliark, Ron, and Talaris agreed upon this.

Luna's assigned mission was annihilation and the depletion of Zito's flesh. Based on Jin's personal experience, the only person who could deplete Zito's flesh alone and still receive the least damage was Luna.

The strategy for the counterattack was simple.

Luna would infiltrate the enemy territory alone to engage in battle, and when necessary, the other superhumans on standby would join her.

Most likely, Luntia and Hedo would provide support, but depending on the situation on various battlefields, all the superhumans in the Alliance, including Jin, could join.

Of course, the best-case scenario would be Luna solving everything without needing support. And Jin believed in Luna.

After the decision was made, Jin immediately communicated the situation to the Garden of Swords.

{Yes, young patriarch. This is Head butler. Understood, I will immediately dispatch the 1st flagbearer. Should I coordinate with the little master[1] of the hidden palace, or should I send the Red Owl?}

"It's better to coordinate with the Little master of the hidden palace."

{The younges... Oh no, young patriarch! Is this a solo mission? That's great. It just so happens that I've finished cleaning up the fractures in my assigned area. Oh, Head butler. Can I just speak casually? It's uncomfortable every time. I feel like I'm straining to please you every time I talk.}

{The 1st flagbearer needs to uphold the clan's integrity by protecting the Law. Hm, well... if it's that uncomfortable for you. Outside of official ceremonies, you can speak more casually. Of course, with the young patriarch's permission. And in places with many eyes, you must still maintain proper etiquette.}

{Oh, thank you! It seems you're not always so stiff, Head butler. Will you permit it, young patriarch?}

"She has my permission, Head butler. Then I'll contact you again. Take care, elder sister."

{[Well, don't worry. Go and obliterate Zito's flesh or whatever it is. I will bring a couple of bottles of good wine when you return.]}

{[Hey, wait a second, Head butler! When I made the same request as Luna, you flatly refused!? Where are you going, Head butler? Head butler!]}

{[It seems the chief of Black Sword Association has time to argue with me. I'm on my way to check the documents. Would you like to come along, or are you heading to the newly reported fracture area?]}

{[Ugh, I will just head to the fracture area! These demon bastards, they keep pouring out without end like cockroaches. Anyway, can I speak more casually with the young patriarch when we're not at official meetings? Oh, Kid. Do you know this? This great grandfather once again made a bet with Sir Alpen about cleaning up the fracture and I won again. Looks like he really wants to beat me at least once. Hahaha!]}

Jin burst into laughter at the commotion heard through the communication device. The vibrant sights of his family and comrades always served as a great source of strength.

"Now, let's get to work as well. Jet, review the battle reports from various fronts and sort them out. Ms. Cuicantelle and Enya, move to the defensive wall."

"Understood."

"Yes, Lord Jin!"

Qwaul and Valeria had requested Cuicantelle and Enya to join them in the defensive wall formation mission.

The Dragon Fire Blocking Barrier and the Power of Time.

With the application of these two powers through Qwaul's inventions and Valeria's knowledge, they believed it would significantly bolster the entire defensive wall.

As Jet sifted through the reports, Jin briefly visited Murakan's room. There, Murakan lay on the bed with a half-dead expression, his head resting on Gilly's lap.

"Young master, you're here? Oh, this... Well, don't misunderstand. It's just that Lord Murakan said doing this might help him recover faster."

"Hey, Murakan. You're keeping Gilly quite busy."

"Shush, go away. You're disturbing my rest. Ugh, strawberry pie. This time, I've truly suffered a lot... Ugh, it hurts, uhh, ugh..."

"Yes, ever since he returned from the enemy territory with half your face missing, I am genuinely concerned... It looks like there might be some issues with his tongue too. What should I do..."

Unable to bear it, Jin quietly closed the door. After a moment, he heard the click of the lock, and for some reason, it sent a shiver down his spine.

'Murakan, he is indeed in pain, but it's not that severe. Is he exaggerating it for Gilly's attention, and Gilly is clueless? Or could it be, maybe she knows and is enjoying it? I don't know, I really don't know...'

Jin returned to his office, alternating his gaze between the reports Jet brought and the communication device.

The first report on the operation would come from Luna within 30 minutes or an hour.

'I shouldn't be too worried because it's elder sister Luna we are talking about. But it takes a little bit of the Crimson aura. While facing demons, she might not use it, but against large fractures or Zito's flesh, she might have no choice but to use the Crimson aura. I don't know how much she has left.'

What would happen if my elder sister completely exhausted her crimson aura?

Suddenly, that doubt crossed his mind. However, Jin concluded that there wouldn't be a significant problem.

'If it were a serious issue, Father would surely have given her a stronger warning. But when he sent my elder sister back, he simply advised her to be as careful as possible. So, it should be fine.'

***

At that moment, a white dimensional portal was opened in a plain of "Kikaro Kingdom" located at the southmost part of Huphester.

[Booong!]

"Lady Syris, thank you again this time."

"I never imagined that the day would come when I would transport the martial artists to the battlefield in this way after becoming the little master of the hidden palace."

Syris sighed and spoke.

She was aware of the crucial role she and Mort were playing in the war, but she couldn't help feeling a slight sense of embarrassment for moving the martial artists instead of leading the battlefield as the little master of the hidden palace.

"Guilt can serve as a good stepping stone for development if used wisely. Right now, you are a bit weaker than me, Lady Syris, but from what I can see, you have the same potential as mine. Besides, you are incredibly strong despite your age."

A bit weaker? Same potential? Syris was about to respond that way but shrugged her shoulders. Luna wasn't just speaking empty words.

"Furthermore, wouldn't it cause greater losses if Lady Syris and Mort were missing from the battlefield compared to me? So don't be too disappointed and continue to wait for the Myriad Ice more calmly and devote yourself to it. The day will come when all your accumulated experiences will explode."

"I'll keep that in mind. By the way, this place is already… mess. I've had a few training sessions on this plain when I was younger, but now it looks completely like True Demon World's land."

Syris looked around.

In all directions, there were fortresses and buildings of the True Demon World, and the purple energy was swirling. Especially, a castle towering eerily in the middle of the plain displayed such enormous scale that it was reminiscent of the former imperial palace.

Luna burst into laughter and lightly lifted Krantel, which had been clinging to her back.

"After fighting them, it turns out these guys aren't anything special, yet they're needlessly acting all tough. This time, I don't have to protect anyone, so I can thoroughly destroy them on my own. Lady Syris, you're not as weak as I need to protect you, right?"

"I'll be waiting nearby with Mort."

"If there's anyone who might serve as excellent nourishment for your growth, I'll select a few and send them over. Is that okay?"

"Oh, I am glad to hear that. I'll look forward to it."

Soon, Luna descended from Mort and concentrated energy on Krantel. The castles of the True Demon World immediately detected the power and activated defensive magic and equipment. Luna gazed at the attacking spells and bombardments coming her way with an expressionless face.

"Let's start by demolishing the castles first."

Runcandel 1st Decisive Killing Move

Heaven Shatterer - Luna Runcandel

As soon as Luna thrust Krantel into the ground, a violent earthquake erupted, as if flipping the entire plain upside down.

*******

[1]: As Talaris is now healed, Syris is no longer acting master of the Hidden Palace. As she is next in line like Jin, she is the little master of the hidden palace. I am not using the word "young" like "young patriarch" because "young master" will get confusing.
