Heidilin Miriam Wols flew silently through the air, looking down at the city lights twinkling below. She seemed lost in thought... Yes, not the enemy's (duchy's) [army formation], but the enemy's (duchy's) city.
It's a city on the front lines... there are definitely troops stationed there.
However, a large number of civilians also lived there. Although there was martial law and a curfew, they were not evacuated. In this world and era, evacuating civilians was no different from killing them.
But it's still better than death, isn't it?
...
"Shala, you really know how to find good jobs..."
Heidi Lin muttered to herself helplessly as she looked at the enemy troops stationed in the distance, and at Shara, who was also flying in the sky... Shara had taken on the task of destroying the enemy, while she was responsible for destroying the Duchy's bridgehead.
However, the civilians in the city are unlikely to escape unscathed... The death trigger is not a force that can be easily controlled.
How should I put it? Hedy Lin did feel some guilt, and her identity inevitably made her feel sorry for the fate of those civilians... They were victims of war, this is war... this is war.
In this world, there are not many people who grieve for the death of ordinary people, but Heidirin is one of them... Her former kingdom did not really agree with the concept of "returning to the World Tree"... The reborn dead are no longer the original people.
At least that's what Hedy Lin thought.
Hedy Lin is not a native of the Empire, which can be seen from her first and last name... Generally speaking, Imperials usually include one or two "La" characters in their names.
This custom seems to originate from the empire's past worship of gods, and it is still in use today.
Hedyline was born in a small, war-torn country. The wars between these small nations filled her childhood with misfortune... Before she was forced into exile alone and wandered to the Empire, and was taken in as a disciple by Ira, she...
"boom!!!!!!"
While Heidi was still lost in her memories, a tremendous roar from the other side of the army broke her thoughts... She looked over there and realized that Shara had already made her move.
A dazzling, beautiful crack appeared above the duchy's army, a beautiful fissure that tore space itself apart, allowing one to easily see the dizzying brilliance within.
It was a color that did not exist in this world, a black that seemed to be multicolored, and the huge crack, though beautiful, was also clearly full of danger... Everything in its path seemed to be swallowed up by the crack.
The only thing left after the passage of time is air itself.
Moreover, the crack itself continued to expand until it reached a certain limit... Many duchy soldiers, while sleeping or on night watch, were completely swallowed up.
They probably lost about 90% of their army in one fell swoop...
That is Shara's [Death Trigger], something that is triggered at the moment of death—[something deeper than the Primordial Darkness, something deeper than the plane of the Lord, the extinguishing of nothingness, the gap of passing away], or simply [the Primordial Darkness Extinction Gap].
Similar to the well-known "Shadow Shark" death trigger by Marilla Elkaras, which is described as "using death as a trigger to awaken the beast of the Shadow Realm; swearing an oath to revive the Megalodon of the Abyss"...
At the moment of death, what is born will indiscriminately devour everything around it, and turn the devoured matter (life) into nourishment for resurrection.
Shara's death trigger stemmed from her talent [Void Exile], which she possessed before she became an Archon, while Marilla's death trigger came from her contracted creature in the Shadowlands.
Hedy Lin was certain that her Death Trigger did not originate from the Prime Material Plane, but she was also unsure of its exact origins... However, it ended the ongoing war and also brought an end to the two small nations themselves.
"Heydil! What are you doing? Hurry up... I'm going back first, so you don't accidentally hurt me."
Hearing Shara's reminder as she flew over, she looked at Shara who immediately flew away, then at the city below... Hedylin looked at the city in chaos due to the sudden situation and shook her head helplessly.
Then, very quickly and swiftly, he used the dagger in his hand to slit his own throat...
"Hiss~"
Blood gushed out rapidly, carrying the message that "Heidirin is dead" to the deepest place... This message, as it was constantly being interpreted, continued to transform into other meanings.
...
Hedy Lin is dead.
"Gurgle gurgle~"
...
In the pitch-black ocean dimension, bubbles surged and made sounds.
The contract is about to be fulfilled.
"Puff puff~"
...
Perhaps it's seawater, or some other liquid, or perhaps it's a front line built purely of "evil," or perhaps it's a little further away from the front line... something that has been sleeping awakens here.
In the deep ocean, a huge eye suddenly opened. It was an enormous eyeball, and although there was no reference point... in front of the owner of such an eyeball, a human would probably not be much bigger than an ant.
Then came the second... the third...
The densely packed pale yellow and orange-red eyes all belong to the same owner—[Family].
The sleeping kin awakens at this moment, and He will cherish this awakening, even though He knows He will fall asleep again soon.
because……
The time to feast has come!
