Chapter 1292
Evangeline had contemplated participating when the news of war reached her. After all, she had a dark history of running away from home as a child, claiming she wanted to become a hero.
Though it was true that she'd gained Swordmaster-level enlightenment through that experience, thinking about it now, she’d really done all kinds of ridiculous things. Still, her innate nature hadn’t changed. With such a catastrophe erupting in Tionis, and with her mother and others moving across the continent to suppress the war, she felt she had to lend her strength as well.
However, surprisingly enough, Illyna, Perserque, and even Aeria all strongly opposed her joining the war.
Their reason was rather simple, thinking she still didn’t understand how brutal war truly was. They said it was too soon for her to witness such carnage.
Yet, that was all nonsense to her. She couldn’t agree with them this time. She might be young, but she had gone through a different kind of growth compared to humans. She’d already seen plenty of blood, and the number of monsters she had killed with her sword alone was staggering.
She couldn’t understand why her mother or father wouldn’t believe in her. That’s why, despite the objections, she followed Abel there to lend a hand however she could.
She wanted to see for herself why they kept telling her to not participate.
‘Mom told me to stay out of large-scale wars like this one, especially.’
Yet, for her, war was war. No different from one another. Just like with every other conflict she had experienced, if she had the strength and there were people suffering, she was willing to step in.
Abel called out, “Sis.”
“What?”
“You’ll regret it,”Abel warned her with a grim face as they moved to where the enemy was expected to appear.
