Subscriber of the Gods Chapter 367 - Beyond Common Sense

Kwagagagang-!

“It’s only a matter of time anyway. Break through with minimal damage!”

“Yes!”

“Any report from the prison side?”

“We haven’t received one yet, but the last report said it was only a matter of time there as well!”

“Perfect.”

Gorod, the elf leading the Migos, smirked.

For many years, the Migos had been pushed aside by the Yugos clan and couldn’t become the rulers of Asterian. But now it’s different.

“We’re finally taking that throne they’ve been deceiving us with under the name of tradition! No more elven rulers who only run away with idealistic words about living together with humans while moving lukewarmly!”

The dark elves listened intently to Gorod’s words.

Before them was the final line of defense created by the Yugos clan.

If they break through here, they can take the young World Tree. Without the World Tree, the Yugos clan is worthless.

They will kill all the Yugos and move towards a new Asterian.

“It’s ironic that we had to join hands with those disgusting humans, but they’ve been of great help to us. We must thoroughly use them just as they did to us.”

Although they joined hands with humans, it can be seen as even since humans were trying to use them as well.

Kwang-!

Hwararururuk-!

Black flames began to burn the defense line. The Yugos dark elves guarding the defense line lost their fighting spirit.

The elf who went out to check the situation in Asterian didn’t return, and the whereabouts of the missing Arean Windreaker were unknown.

“Is this the end…?”

Kwang-!

At that moment, the defense line collapsed with a thunderous sound.

“Enter! Secure the World Tree!”

As Gorod shouted, the dark elves responded with loud voices.

However, at the moment they tried to enter.

Kuung-!

A thunderous sound was heard from far away.

“…What’s that? There’s no way they could have brought reinforcements.”

They had already attached trackers to the Yugos elves who went to bring reinforcements.

Gorod immediately used magic. It was magic that enhanced the dark elves’ unique vision and allowed them to see far away.

“…?”

Someone was coming from far away.

Two people.

“Huh.”

One was an elf that Gorod knew very well.

“Arean, how did you…?”

How did Arean, who was locked up in prison, come here?

If that’s the real Arean, what about the report from the prison?

Gorod frowned.

“What’s that next to her? A human? Ha, it is a human.”

The one next to Arean was a human.

The situation started to make sense in Gorod’s mind.

“Did they succeed in calling for reinforcements? And that’s just one human? But the prison where we locked her up isn’t close to here. No matter how quickly they called for reinforcements, they couldn’t have rescued Arean this fast.”

“Lord Gorod.”

“Please give us orders.”

“Charge!”

Gorod gave the order.

“I have some business to attend to over there.”

“Yes! Understood!”

Gorod gave the order to advance and then strongly kicked off the ground.

With the power of the wind, he approached Arean and the human at high speed.

“Arean Windreaker! You should have stayed quietly in prison, to think you’d come back here! Look! Everything is already over! We, the Migos, now rule Asterian. The World Tree and this land are all ours.”

Gorod sneered as he raised his sword. He intended to pierce through and kill her right there.

At this point, there was no need to know how she escaped from prison.

Things like legitimacy and power transfer can be resolved with force.

“We should have done this from the beginning!”

However, Arean wasn’t looking at Gorod.

Shaaaaak-.

She continued to rush forward, disregarding Gorod’s appearance. It almost looked like she was trying to kill herself.

“Right, that would be easier for you!”

Gorod swung his sword without hesitation.

However, his sword didn’t even graze Arean’s clothes.

Chaaaaang-!

“You, you!”

It was Ethan who had drawn Frost Sword to block Gorod’s sword.

Parak-!

As she passed Gorod, Arean’s eyes were fixed on the burning defense line.

“You, who are you!”

“I’m a human who came to deliver good news.”

Ethan raised Frost Sword high and slashed Gorod diagonally.

“How dare you try to kill the elves who will become Moonforce’s followers.”

“Guk.”

With a dying groan, Gorod collapsed.

Ethan slowly followed behind Arean. For now, Arean needed to go first.

‘My role is to provide help at the crucial moment. That will make it easier to evangelize.’

Arean, who had rushed to the front of the defense line, shouted loudly.

“I have returned! So don’t lose courage, everyone!”

As Arean shouted loudly, life returned to the eyes of the Yugos clan who were being helplessly overwhelmed.

“Ah, Lady Arean…?”

“Lady Arean is alive!”

“Lady Arean has returned!”

On the other hand, the Migos dark elves frowned deeply.

“How? How is Arean here?”

“Lord Gorod…!”

Gorod, who was supposed to join from behind, was nowhere to be seen.

“Gorod is already dead! To treat fellow kin like this…”

The enraged Arean gripped her sword with both hands. As she raised it to the sky, powerful energy began to dwell in the sword.

Shaaaaak-.

It was the power of intense cold.

“As long as the Moon Goddess is with us… not a single one of you will escape Asterian alive.”

Ethan, who was watching from behind, opened his eyes wide.

‘As expected. She already believed in Moonforce. Even though the name changed and the temple disappeared.’

If so, it’s even easier.

Ethan made a big leap and entered inside the defense line.

The dark elves were surprised and wary when a human suddenly appeared, but Ethan didn’t mind. Rather, he increased his speed to escape their sight.

‘This is it.’

They said it had sprouted, but the grown World Tree seemed to be well over 5 meters tall.

Ethan took out a small statue of Moonforce that he had prepared in advance and placed it in front of it.

“There are many of the goddess’s followers here. They seem to still believe in the goddess, even though they’ve forgotten her name and temple.”

Since Ethan officially became the leader, Moonforce’s response rate had increased significantly.

-The goddess Moonforce responds to your call.

Shaaaaak-.

-Moonforce’s temple opens in Asterian.

Kugugugugugung-!

The cold spread out and the ground shook greatly.

-The Ancient Temple has been opened!

A temple that existed here long ago rose above the ground. It was a much more proper and enormous temple than the one on the cliff.

“This is…”

As the temple appeared in front of the World Tree, the fighting Migos and Yugos clan temporarily stopped their battle.

“Lady Moonforce has not forgotten you all.”

“…Moonforce?”

Not everyone had forgotten Moonforce’s name.

A dark elf who remembered Moonforce’s name shouted in surprise.

“The Moon Goddess… has come to save us!”

“Our Moonforce has sent a messenger to help us!”

As one dark elf shouted, all the dark elves looked alternately at the temple and Ethan.

The prestige of the Moon Goddess who had protected Asterian for many years had an extraordinary influence.

“The, the Moon Goddess has come!”

“The messenger of the Moon Goddess has come!”

As one person shouted, as if infected, other dark elves began to frantically repeat those words.

“The goddess desires victory!”

Although the meaning became distorted in the middle, it was enough to greatly raise the morale of the fallen Yugos clan.

On the other hand, the Migos’ momentum was greatly dampened.

They were the only clan in this Asterian that did not believe in the Moon Goddess.

That turned out to be a big mistake.

Shaaaaak-.

-Moonforce bestows blessings upon her followers!

The Yugos clan, blessed by Moonforce, broke free from their exhausted state and began to pressure the Migos with tremendous momentum.

“Ugh!”

“Damn it! How has the situation turned out like this! Lord Gorod? Where is Lord Gorod!”

They were attacking the defense line according to Gorod’s orders, so they didn’t know what had happened behind them.

“And why is… the elven ruler here…”

Arean Windreaker clearly shouldn’t be here. She should have been locked up in prison forever.

Seo-geok!

Arean stood at the very front, pushing back the Migos.

The Migos also had tremendous strength because they had staked everything on this event.

However, with Moonforce’s blessing and the addition of the enraged Arean’s command, they had no choice but to be pushed back.

Moreover, for some reason, Arean’s movements were much more nimble than before.

Arean thought she was riding the momentum, but that wasn’t the case.

‘The effect of acupuncture is good.’

When detoxifying her, Ethan had simply inserted needles.

‘As expected of Heo Im’s Acupuncture.’

It was perfect for buff purposes.

Arean takes the lead and sweeps through, and the Yugos clan handles what’s left behind.

“No more mercy is needed. They are no longer part of Asterian like us.”

The enraged Arean swung her sword fiercely.

Unable to withstand the momentum, one of the Migos dark elves collapsed on the spot.

“The death of the previous elven ruler was all due to the Migos’ scheme. Not only did they kill my father by joining hands with those vicious humans, but they also tried to hand over the World Tree to them.”

“It wasn’t simply trying to take the World Tree from us…”

“You mean they were trying to hand it over to humans?”

“After handing over the previous elven ruler to humans and causing his death, and even kidnapping Lady Arean… These trash! They should become food for the trees!”

The Yugos clan joined in Arean’s anger.

“Damn it.”

“We should retreat for now. The situation is too strange.”

Kwang-!

At that moment, a thunderous sound was heard from the direction of the defense line.

The Yugos clan, who had broken through the defense line, looked at the entrance with surprised eyes.

“Shouldn’t everything that happened here be resolved here?”

Ethan was there.

“Human…!”

Ethan blocked the retreat path and looked at Arean. Arean smiled brightly at Ethan.

“This is the person who rescued and treated me when I was poisoned and locked up in prison! And as you just saw, he’s a trusted servant of the Moon Goddess!”

Arean didn’t know exactly what role Ethan had under Moonforce. But judging by the sudden appearance of the temple in front of the World Tree, she realized he must hold quite a high position.

“Our savior has come!”

“The savior sent by the goddess has blocked their retreat!”

“Let’s do what we need to do!”

Ethan at the retreat path.

And the Yugos clan in front.

The Migos, who had lost their leader Gorod, had nowhere left to run.

“For the goddess!”

As Arean shouted the name of the goddess, this fight instantly became a holy war.

-The number of Moonforce’s followers increases!

Ethan smiled contentedly at the flood of notifications.
