Chapter 659
In the heart of the battlefield, Olivia Lanche fought fiercely, clad in the armor of a holy knight. Standing atop a heap of monster corpses, she surveyed the chaos below.
The ground shook violently as hundreds—perhaps thousands—of meteors rained down from the torn sky. Massive flames and flashes of light tore through the waves of monsters.
“Reinhart...” she whispered.
The Immortals had disappeared, and the Demon King’s army had taken their place.
Everyone knew the Demon King’s forces were targeting the monsters, not humanity.
Was this the end of humanity’s misunderstanding? Or were they simply replacing one misconception with another?
The belief that the Demon King sought humanity’s destruction was now overshadowed by the notion that the Emperor had forsaken them. Reinhart hadn’t planned for things to turn out this way, but it was happening nonetheless.
Still, resolving one misunderstanding by creating another was a problem for the future. First, the Allied Forces needed to survive. Destroying all the warp gates and ensuring the survivors’ safety was crucial. If the Allied Forces were wiped out, they couldn’t return to humanity burdened with either truth or misunderstanding.
Survival was the top priority.
Reinhart had removed his mask, revealing himself as the Demon King. He had unleashed the Demon King’s magic, obliterating monsters and breaking through enemy lines.
His actions were meant to bolster the Allied Forces, who were on the brink of collapse.
The mask had to come off. Whatever power he wielded, it had to be formidable. Now that the Immortals were gone, everyone needed to know there was a powerful ally who would never back down.
