Chapter 12: When the Seeds of Apocalypse are Sown
“WITCHES, huh? They never came up in Eternal Nations.”
“No, they didn’t, King Takuto. This encounter reaffirms my belief that this isn’t the world of Eternal Nations. Parts of the game system may have carried over, but we should view the mechanics as being completely different.”
Takuto and Atou had gathered lots of information since arriving in this new world. From it, they drew the conclusion this world was different from Eternal Nations. They based their conclusion on what they’d learned about the surrounding empires.
Neither the Holy Kingdom of Qualia nor the El-Nah Alliance of Elementals existed in Eternal Nations. Additionally, both empires became powerful with the help of units called Saints. This was news to Takuto and Atou.
One night, they caught hold of the legend-loving Emle and listened to all sorts of stories from morning until night. Every legend and folktale, including the stories about the Saints, differed from what they knew about Eternal Nations, shocking them both.
Е.n̄ um̃ ӑ
Various other factors also proved this world ran by separate rules.
Makes me think of all the isekai stories I’ve read… Takuto recalled the fantasy genre that’d spiked in popularity during his last lifetime.

“Your opinion didn’t change even after you parsed the memories you took from that Paladin, right?”
“Yes. I could only see the parts he felt strongly about before death, but I was able to grasp a certain extent of it. It seems the two empires lived in relative peace without engaging in any large-scale conflicts until recently. I couldn’t confirm the existence of any strong commanders, but if I was to grade them in terms of player levels, both would be absolute noobs.”
“The Northern Disturbance is the real concern, right?”
Atou had the unique skill of claiming a defeated unit’s abilities as her own. This also gave her the ability to view what her victim felt about the strongest at death—something she didn’t know was possible until coming to this world.
W̄éb̄ n̄ о.v́ е̂l Еńu ṁа
This mechanic, which was never a part of the game, was both convenient and anxiety-inducing. It proved their knowledge of the game and its rules might not apply to this world, potentially shattering any bearing the game settings might have.
Takuto had this niggling feeling the world was telling him this was reality, not a game, but he ignored it and turned his attention toward other things. He preferred to think about Qualia’s Northern Disturbance and the Witches said to be causing it. Those two things should be given priority.
How will this uncertain event affect our country? And if Qualia should fall, isn’t it our turn next? And before that happens, is there really no chance Qualia won’t set its sights on us when their scouts don’t come back?
Various concerns flooded Takuto’s thoughts and jumbled together.

“We’re fortunate Qualia’s military is preoccupied fending off the mayhem in their Northern Province,” Atou said. “It lessens the chances of them sending a large army this far south.”
“They only sent two black sheep Paladins to investigate with the hopes of snuffing them out if there really was something here…huh?”
Еñ u m а̂
“I would say so…”
“It’s crippling when you have just as many enemies on the inside, isn’t it?”
The information Paladin Verdel had was quite useful, albeit scarce.
It turned out that because their empire had a provincial system, there was fierce competition between provinces, and they constantly tried to outshine each other. Furthermore, they had a slow decision-making process brought about by the complicated political systems often found in bloated governments.
The Saint’s prophecy predicted an omen of apocalypse in the Accursed Lands. Still, Qualia didn’t want to take it seriously because if they actually confirmed it was true, the nation would fall into chaos trying to handle it. Hence they carried out the investigation in secret.
I don’t know who made that decision, but it was criminally stupid.

Takuto was exasperated by the flaws in their organizational system, but he shook his head, realizing it must have been unavoidable in order to maintain such a huge empire.
“We are all united by our loyalty to you, King Takuto. You needn’t worry about similar problems arising in our empire.”
“Thanks.”
It was also true that the existence of the Witches and the other problems Qualia had put Mynoghra in a favorable position. By devoting its manpower to the Northern Province turmoil, Qualia gave Mynoghra more time to grow.
Perhaps they should be grateful for that.
It was disturbing that the other good civilization, the El-Nah Alliance of Elementals, was keeping quiet, but at least their unwillingness to move unless moved against also worked in Takuto’s favor.
Ѐ n̂.u̇ ḿа
He had a lot of concerns for the future, but Takuto felt it was better to have killed the reconnaissance team than to allow them safe passage after botched peace negotiations.
The longer they stayed hidden, the greater the advantage they had. He hoped they could avoid being detected until he could make at least one more Hero.

…He felt no pity whatsoever for those who’d died.
“Um, King Takuto—”
“Did you obtain any information on the Witches?”
Atou was about to ask him something when he cut her off. He was too absorbed in thought to hear her.
Ẃ е b̀ ñ o̊ v̄eľ Еn̂ ůma
Of course, Takuto always came first for her. If the King had a question, she had no reason not to answer it. Even if she wouldn’t get another opportunity to ask the question she’d struggled to work up the courage to ask him.
“Unfortunately, there was little information about the Witches…but I learned they’re causing wide-spread military-scale damage to the Qualian army and cities and the name of one of the two known to exist.”
“There’s two?”
According to the information obtained from the High Paladin, two Witches had been confirmed so far in the Holy Kingdom of Qualia. Takuto couldn’t help but be surprised that they’d already caused extensive damage, but he was more concerned about their identities.

What kind of beings were these Witches who were regarded in the same light as Atou?
Taking the information she gleaned from Paladin Verdel’s memories, Atou bitterly uttered the name of the one causing her king worry.
Ẅе̌ b n̂о̆v̆еl Е̄n̈ ùm̈ а̊
“Erakino the Slurping Witch is her name.”
What did her title imply?
Obviously, it represented the Witch’s abilities in some way, and it couldn’t mean anything good, that was certain. It also marked her as evil, which Takuto already assumed.
“There could be more people like us…”
The Northern Disturbance seemed to have started recently. In fact, there wasn’t even a hint of it before the Dark Elves were expelled from their country.
The timing overlapped with Takuto and Atou’s arrival.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
In other words, it strangely coincided with when Mynoghra came into this world.
Other forces had arrived when they did…
Apprehension crossed Atou’s face. After all, if her assumption was right, then they’d be in a terrible situation.
“How do you wish to proceed, my liege? They might be friendlier toward us if they’re also evil-aligned…”
“Hm… I get the feeling we won’t be able to get along,” Takuto calmly deduced while rubbing his chin.
“S-Same here…”
W̌ еb̆ ṅò v̈ еl̄ Éǹum а
Atou nodded uncomfortably; she had to agree with Takuto on that one. How could she not when all the evil beings they knew of held to ideologies that made it impossible for them to see eye to eye with anyone else?
“Evil beings are crazy, after all… And most of them want to end the world, right? What good comes of that?! It’s game over! Stop doing things without thinking about the consequences, evil!”

“D-Destroying themselves in the process is generally their reason for doing it.”
“I’m sick of hackneyed villains!”
“I couldn’t agree more…”
Evil beings don’t get along on a fundamental level. As a group, they lack cooperation and don’t care for others. Their subordinates and citizens are typically just pawns to achieve their goals, and other empires are their enemy regardless of alignment.
W̆ eb̀nо̃ ṽel̄ Е n um а
Sure, there might be exceptions to the rule, but they are few and far between.
In the end, whether they were good or evil, they’d become like water and oil with Mynoghra, who preferred more peaceful solutions.
“The question is: is it a civilization from Eternal Nations that’s controlling the Witch in the Northern Province?”
“Every civilization’s Heroes in Eternal Nations are a force to be reckoned with. If they enter the picture, the world will inevitably be plunged into chaos,” Atou said forebodingly.

“Even if it’s not them, it’s almost guaranteed these Witches have Hero-class combat skills… What a pain.”
“While there are various factors at play, she’s still a being capable of suppressing a large empire’s armed forces. Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable. I want us to have some more Heroes as soon as possible.”
W̆ е̂_b ň ȯ v̈ ѐl̊ Е̌nu̇m̃ а
They were going to butt heads eventually. Takuto was sure of it.
Our objective is to makeMynoghra prosper. I won’t make the first move. But there’s a chance they might force my hand.
It was only natural to assume outside forces with policies that clashed with his would come up against them.
They might not have much time.
Takuto heaved a heavy sigh over these unamusing world affairs.
“I guess I should start considering other Heroes aside from Isla too. Maybe we should go with a strong combat unit instead.”

“We almost have enough Mana to produce one more Hero… But the necessary Mana and Technology Level go up with every Hero. I also believe we should revisit our options.”
Various Resources, Mana, and a specific Technology Level are required to produce a Hero.
Takuto had found a way to prepare the necessary costs to create an additional Hero, but they needed a whole lot more time to add more than one to their ranks right now. In other words, they had to be prudent in choosing their next Hero.
Summoning Isla, a Hero who made life more convenient but lacked strength, could put them into an early game checkmate.
Takuto bitterly remembered the time he was playing the game when the large number of Larva produced by Isla was wiped out in a single turn by the enemy Hero’s magic.
Saints and Witches…

He needed to tread carefully.
So, he’d decided to make use of the preliminary measures he’d put in place to deal with various situations and to make big changes to those measures in the process.

“Let’s be flexible with our strategies. We should occasionally change our plans to meet the situation—and with that said, I want to make a slight alteration to one of our initial policies.”
“All right. What would you like altered?”
“My policy on allies. I want to make at least one ally in case things go south.”
“What?! You want allies? …Is that even possible for us?”
Ӗ ñǔḿа̄
Atou was right to be surprised.
It was a perfectly reasonable empire-management strategy, but not an easy one for Takuto to pull off with his inability to communicate. Not to mention the difficulties presented by Mynoghra being evil.
To be honest, she couldn’t see it working.
“It will if it benefits the other empire. Obviously, we’ll be limited to neutral nations…”

“Hmm, you mean the empire near our forest? I suppose their stance will have to change if the world around them is…”
“We won’t know unless we try.”
Еñŭm̄а
There was a Human city near the Cursed Sea of Trees. They needed to investigate them further, but they might be able to join forces if the situation called for it.
Mynoghra’s first impression wasn’t going to be pretty, but as long as they weren’t an empire dead set on hegemony, negotiations should be possible. Various Resources, Materials, and Goods could become available through trade with them as well. Mynoghra had things they could offer in return too.
If any emergencies came up, they could also cooperate in striking down their enemies together.
Takuto decided on his future policies while carefully analyzing his mind’s game map. His plan was a gamble that risked his negotiating partner becoming an enemy, but if they succeeded, they could better entrench themselves in this region.
It may be better to take a slightly aggressive stance here. That was Takuto’s call.
“Then I will summon the Dark Elves and urgently hammer out the details with them.”

Atou took action according to his orders. Following the rule of striking while the iron was hot, she took her leave from Takuto and headed to town.
After encouraging her, Takuto stared into empty space atop his stone throne, all alone in the Palace’s planned construction site. No emotion crossed his face as he sat in silence.

<The Holy Kingdom of Qualia, Northern Province Evacuated Region>
WIND violently blew and snow danced. Every exhalation came out in white puffs and the freezing air mercilessly robbed the body of heat.
Е̇ n u m а.іd̂
Mysterious cries echoed and drowned each other out in the distance.
Screams. Roars. Swears. Deranged laughter.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Saint Soalina of Blooming Burials quietly inquired of the situation as her superhuman hearing picked up on the sounds of the mad and deranged rioting in a distant city.
“Is there any movement from the Witch Erakino?”
“She settled in the city she conquered the other day and hasn’t moved since,” answered the High Paladin who served as her guard.
The Cardinal, who oversaw the Northern Province and carped on her actions, had already escaped far away.
Е n ü mӑ
Erakino the Slurping Witch’s campaign of terror grew in intensity with each day—as did the trouble they had with her slurped victims.
As she listened to the Paladin’s report, Soalina gnawed her lip, frustrated for having fallen behind while dealing with the Mabeasts and Demi-humans wreaking havoc in every section of the Northern Province to divide her armies.
“The Veiled Saint has deployed to the front lines. Her Miracle seems to be a good counter against the Witch, keeping them at a stalemate for the time being.”
Soalina thought of the Saint who always covered her face with a veil and kept her head down. She’d barely spoken to the girl whose background she didn’t know, but she had a greater affinity for her as a fellow Saint than she did for others. She offered a silent prayer of thanks and encouragement for her still being alive and for keeping the Witch at bay.

But a Saint is only one person. There’s only so much one person can do. And they took too long to act.
“Have they calculated the damages yet?”
Е̃ń u mа . і̌d̂
“Two Northern Province cities have been decimated, along with too many villages and small towns to count. Roughly 30,000 members of the Northern Army were annihilated by the Witch’s hand. Civilian casualties are too great to even estimate…”
Soalina silently closed her eyes and apologized to those she couldn’t save. They wouldn’t come back no matter how much she apologized. She had become a Saint because she wanted to save everyone, yet they all slipped through her fingers like water.
The shadows grew deeper on her pale face.
“What about the Dark Continent omen— No, never mind. We can’t afford to look away from our immediate crisis.”
A reconnaissance team had been sent to investigate the Dark Continent’s Accursed Lands based on her prophecy. Soalina had been informed that they hadn’t found anything. She was suspicious when the Cardinal dodged her request for more information. But she couldn’t let that distract her now.
Two Saints remained in the Holy Capital in case something went wrong. Soalina concentrated on the problem before her, determined to fulfill her duties.

“I want to leave subjugating the rest of the Mabeasts and Demi-humans scattered around the area to the Paladins. I will head to the front lines and aid the Veiled Saint. We may not be able to defeat the Witch, but we will force her from this land.”
“Please wait, Saint Soalina! You need the Cardinal’s permission to fight on the front lines—” the High Paladin hastily called after her as she stepped away.
The physical abilities of a Saint far exceed that of the High Paladins.
If she went alone, Soalina could run straight to the front lines in a few hours. Of course, she couldn’t bring anyone with her.
“No need. It’s my decision.”
A sudden strong gust whipped by, causing the High Paladin to stumble a few steps backward as a cloud of snow blinded him. By the time he shook the snow off and opened his eyes, there wasn’t even a shadow of the Saint left in sight.

<El-Nah Alliance of Elementals, Tetrarchy Council Meeting Chamber>
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
THE leaders of the various clans of the Elven alliance gravely surrounded a round table located in the chamber where they made the most important decisions.
An Elf read a report to the council with a grim face. He was a promising young man permitted there to gain experience for his role as a future clan chief.
“We have lost contact with Weiss-Nah, the chief city of the Toweiss clan. The ultimatum from that city is the same as the other fallen cities, and information from our Scouts proves it. They have changed sides.”
“AGAIN?! The entire Toweiss clan has joined the enemy now!” yelled the clan chief known for his short temper as he slammed his fist on the table.
W̊ ё b̌ n̂о̊ v́.е̊ l Е̊ň ŭ m a
Even if the others didn’t take it out on the furniture, they expressed the same feeling through groans, scowls, and crossed arms.
“If I may be so bold to offer a suggestion to you who have been blessed by the Elementals? How about we ask for aid from the Holy Kingdom of Qualia? You may take these as the words of a youngster who doesn’t know his place, but I believe this situation is beyond us…”
“Hogwash! I don’t care how long we’ve been allies with Qualia for, we can’t share the pathetic situation we find ourselves in with them!”
“Our many years as allies is exactly why we shouldn’t! Upon our pride as Elves blessed by the Elementals, we must solve this problem on our own.”

The words of each council member were absolute. They might hear you out, but their opinions weren’t easily changed.
The other chiefs seemed to be of the same mind as the first two to speak up.
Ė ň uṁ а. ï d̂
An Elf’s wisdom and power grows with age. That usually benefits their fellow Elves, but sometimes their pride becomes so bloated, it blinded them to the big picture.
The young Elf quietly hung his head and withdrew his suggestion.
“Besides, Qualia is currently occupied with the Witch who appeared in the North. It should be us who wrap up our stupid problems first and sends them aid! Either way, your suggestion won’t work.”
“Hear, hear! Just imagine what will happen if news leaks to the other nations! Historians will have a field day mocking our alliance in future history books! Dammit! Curse those evil cretins… Aahhh! Just talking about it makes me sick!”
“Deploy the Saints! And the Elemental Champions! We need to clean up this inferior problem now!”
The council meeting once more ended in a clamor of voices.

They had, at last, decided to deploy El-Nah’s Saints. A single Saint with the strength to overpower a whole army would surely be able to overturn the loss of one clan’s capitulation.
But for some reason…the young future chief was worried that this problem might be the precursor to something bigger.

<The Dark Continent, Ancestral Spirit and Demi-human Empire of Phon’kaven>
PHON’KAVEN was a neutral nation existing on the Dark Continent. In this empire where various Beastmen, such as wolves, leopards, cows, and lizards lived, their forces were busy dealing with Barbarians who had invaded their territory for unknown reasons.
“Here comes an Ogre! Call for the Staff Holder!”
Ẃ е.bn̂o_v eľ Е nŭ.m̃а
“Saints! Just how many of ’em are there?! This is too much for the Self-defense Force to handle!”
An angry roar echoed as the Beastmen Soldiers complained.

Fending off today’s wave was an uphill fight even for Beastmen, who had more latent potential than ordinary Humans. They had already lost count of how many Barbarians they had slaughtered.
Initially, the Self-Defense Forces fought back the waves until they became overwhelmed and had to call in the empire’s dignitary and skilled Mage, the Staff Holder.
The moment the cudgel-wielding Ogre tried to charge their defenses, lightning had struck from the heavens and fried its giant body. The Beastmen howled cheers of victory after confirming the Ogre was reduced to a smoking pile of charred meat.
“Hell yeah! That’s what I’d expect of our great Staff Holder! Even ferocious monsters fall at your feet with a single spell!”
Ё ǹ ú ṁ а .і̊ d
The old woman with a cow head returned to the city without sticking around long to receive the Self-Defense Forces’ words of appreciation.
As he watched her go, an exhausted Wolfman complained to his comrades with a sigh.
“She looks like any other old hag, though. You gotta hate how she can look like that and still be ten times older and stronger than us.”
“Watch out, she’ll hear you! Anyway, let’s get to clearing away that Ogre corpse. It’ll only get worse if we leave it to rot.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Yeah, I know… Hm? What’s that?”
With the temporary reprieve from the Barbarian invasion, the Soldier thought he could finally relax for a moment, even on corpse cleanup duty. But then he saw something moving in the distance.
Е n̆u ḿ ӑ
“Oh Saints, gimme a break already…more Barbarians? No, wait! What the hell is with those numbers?! Call the messenger! We need to get news of this back fast!”
The few blurred dots in the distance rapidly multiplied. Eventually, it became clearly visible as a large army—a Barbarian Horde.
Did the other Soldiers notice too? Things suddenly got a whole lot rowdier.
The Wolfman had just finished complaining to his comrades about how it had been a nastily long day. But the day was far from over.
“…What the hell is goin’ on?”
A massive number of Barbarians had appeared as suddenly as fog rolling in over the hills. Eyes locked on the incoming threat, the Wolfman muttered more to himself than anyone in particular.

<The Dark Continent, Mynoghra’s Palace Construction Site>
CONSTRUCTION of the different structures was steadily underway in the Accursed Lands. Most of the work was being done on Mynoghra’s Palace.
With enemies on the horizon, it was a problem if the symbolic building that showed the empire’s power remained a temporary shack. Moreover, the Palace provided various buffs and bonuses, so its construction took precedence, even from an empire-management viewpoint.
Completing the housing and Food Production facilities also allowed the Dark Elves to work day and night on it, rejoicing that they could finally create a place for their King to live.
Most of the foundation had been assembled, giving it shape. Every corner was decorated by the colorful floor coverings and wall hangings woven by the Dark Elf women, and it was expected to be a magnificent building once completed
En̈ũmâ.
Sitting on top of the same stone dais in his new throne room, Takuto quietly hummed, enjoying the tranquility of the night and the warm light of the torches.
“…King Takuto, may I have a moment of your time?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A voice suddenly spoke beside him. He glanced to his side, and his eyes met with his trusted confidant Atou.
I was only able to get this far because I had her. Because of Atou, we were able to make this empire proposer without any major issues.
Takuto answered her with a smile as he was flooded by emotion.
“Hm? What is it?”
En̊ùm a
“You were just an ordinary citizen before coming here, right?”
“About as ordinary as you can get! Well, my family had some money, but I was still an average Joe! Where did that question come from? You always ask funny things, Atou.”
Takuto more or less came from humble origins. He had commoner sensibilities and shared the same ethics as everyone else from his country. He suddenly came to another world and suffered the shocking fate of having to run an empire like a computer game, but he was like any other modern Earth man at his core—that was how he viewed himself.
Any normal person would be running around like a chicken with its head cut off in the same position. Aren’t I doing surprisingly well as king under these circumstances? He leaned into his self-evaluation with joy and excitement. But since Atou asked about my upbringing, does that mean I’m still lacking as king?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Takuto peered into Atou’s eyes, quietly seeking the answer.
Atou made up her mind to put the same question to him she had failed to ask the other day.
W ē b̀ n оv е̂ l̆ Еnüḿ а́
“Ah, no! It’s nothing like that! …Um, I was just wondering if I offended you in any way by killing those Paladins…”
“Why would that offend me?”
Atou didn’t have the answer to that question. She never expected him to ask her why.
Takuto could see the nitty-gritty details of the battle through their mental link. Everything that’d happened, from tearing them apart to crushing their bones to the moment she’d played with them before ending their lives.
Atou had prepared several excuses for why she’d enjoyed herself a little too much during battle. She had prepared her apologies for when he accused her of being inhumanely cruel.
But she didn’t anticipate being asked why it should bother him.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Takuto should’ve been a normal person before coming to this world. As such, he should have normal ethics, and Atou believed she’d inherited some of those ethics from him. That’s why she was even proud that she could walk the same path as Takuto despite being inherently evil.
But Takuto had just shattered that theory without realizing it.
He asked why he should be bothered in a situation where a normal person would at least be a little shaken, if not experiencing a total mental breakdown.
Atou felt like she was being consumed by the stare of a disturbing presence. She didn’t know right from wrong anymore.
She was tormented by the inexplicable fear that Takuto’s arrival in this world had changed his very nature. She was haunted by the horrifying thought that he was being affected by the traits granted to him as Mynoghra’s commander, and the nice boy who kindly talked to her through the screen was going to go away forever.
“Silly, Atou.”
W̆ е_b̆n_о v̄ е l̊ Ѐ n̄ ŭ m̈а
“Oh, I-I’m sorry…”
But then Atou realized those concerns were entirely her mistake. She remembered she knew nothing about Takuto Ira beyond their time together playing the game. She couldn’t continue to express her doubts anymore.

“Is something worrying you? Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help!”
“It’s all right. I seemed to have been under some kind of misunderstanding…”
“I see… Um, is it just me, or are you depressed? I don’t want to see you like that. I want you to always be your cheerful self.”
Takuto gently took hold of Atou’s hand and wrapped it in his own, like a parent trying to warm their child’s hands up. His hands felt warm. His smile was full of affection.
W ѐ bn_o̊v е̇l Е̇ num̌а̄
And yet his words almost sounded like an absolute order…
“C’mon, smile! Smile!”
“O-Okay!” Atou hastily responded.
She smiled awkwardly, forgetting that she was a Hero with the potential to destroy the world. Her smile was far from perfect as her lips twitched at the corners, but Takuto seemed pleased enough.

Relieved, Atou was trying to make peace with the indescribable fear welling up in her when a hand rested on her head. Of course, it was Takuto’s. He was looking at Atou with the kindest, most loving expression. His tender feelings were conveyed to her through it.
Happiness rushed through her, pushing out all worries and doubts and filling her with relief and trust. Before she knew it, Atou was resting her face on Takuto’s chest, and she quietly enjoyed its comfort.
Е̊n u̇ mа
The veil of darkness fell over them, and only the sound of the crackling torches could be heard.
My relationship with Takuto will have to be settled some day, Atou thought. Why did he come to this world? Why am I, a supposed game character, here with him?
The answers to those questions had yet to show themselves.
But if she could be permitted to wish it—
“I’m sure we have a lot of trouble ahead of us, but I know I can make it through if I’m with you. So please, stay with me.”
“Me too. I feel the same way as you, King Takuto.”
