Chapter 91: Beyond The Gate
I’ve always felt that the boundary between humans and other races is far more fragile than it appears.
We’re more alike than we think. I once pictured elves as detached and almost inhumanly serene, but Ms. Rowena shattered that notion. Whether she’s unique or all elves are like this, it struck me how similar they are to us.
Fear doesn’t discriminate; it affects humans, elves, and all beings alike.

“From what we know, the Cidatel Republic is already beyond saving. Not even the Three Goddesses could rescue it now.”
The Demon King never appeared himself; he razed a nation with nothing more than a single, deadly bird.
It’s terrifying to think about. Everyone was aware that Grimudo could bring down a nation in an instant, yet no one truly trembled at his name. They believed that as long as he wasn’t provoked, he wouldn’t act.
But that belief has now been shattered.
What happened once can happen again. If he so effortlessly dismantle the Cidatel Republic, what stops him from doing the same to other nations?
“If he is truly mobilizing, then his next target will likely be...”
“The Empire?”
