CHAPTER LIX
The Burden of Saving a City
Arc 3 – The Demon War
---
The battlefield roared.
---
Fire spread through the streets.
Demons clashed with soldiers.
Screams echoed in every direction.
---
And above all of it—
The red sky pulsed.
---
Xarge was watching.
---
Not attacking.
Not interfering.
---
Waiting.
---
The Realization
Kashihero stood in the middle of destruction.
His katana lowered.
His eyes scanning everything.
---
Not the demons.
Not the guards.
---
The civilians.
---
Running.
Dying.
Trapped.
---
"…This is inefficient."
---
Lucas appeared beside him in a burst of dark flame.
---
"…That's one way to say it."
---
Arin landed behind them.
Breathing heavy.
---
"…There are too many…"
---
Kashihero's voice remained calm.
---
"…We're not here to fight yet."
---
Lucas raised an eyebrow.
---
"…Then what?"
---
The Command
Kashihero turned slightly.
---
"…Evacuate the city."
---
Silence.
---
Lucas blinked once.
---
Then laughed.
---
"…You're serious?"
---
Kashihero didn't react.
---
"…Yes."
---
Arin stepped forward.
---
"…We can't fight Xarge while they're here…"
---
Lucas rubbed the back of his neck.
---
"…Yeah, I get that."
---
"…But there's a problem."
---
The Limitation
Lucas's expression shifted.
---
"…Teleporting an entire capital…"
"…I don't have that kind of spirit energy."
---
Arin's heart dropped slightly.
---
"…Then what do we do…?"
---
The Answer
Kashihero didn't hesitate.
---
"…Use hell energy."
---
Lucas froze.
---
For a moment—
Even he didn't respond.
---
Then—
"…You're joking."
---
Kashihero's eyes didn't change.
---
"…No."
---
The Truth of Lucas
Lucas's voice lowered.
---
"…In the underworld…"
"…that's easy."
---
"…But here?"
---
He clenched his fist slightly.
---
"…This isn't my true body."
---
"…This vessel can't handle that level of energy."
---
The Risk
Arin looked between them.
---
"…Then if you try…"
---
Lucas finished it.
---
"…I tear myself apart."
---
Silence.
---
The battlefield continued around them—
But for a moment—
Everything narrowed to this.
---
Kashihero's Decision
Kashihero stepped forward.
---
"…Then don't handle it alone."
---
Lucas frowned.
---
"…What?"
---
The System Opens
The system activated instantly.
---
[Soul Door — Full Authority Mode]
---
[System Access — Shared Override]
---
Kashihero's voice remained calm.
---
"…I'm giving you full access."
---
Lucas's eyes widened slightly.
---
"…You're serious…?"
---
The Expansion
A massive circle of light spread beneath them.
---
The Soul Door expanded.
---
Not just a link anymore—
---
A network.
---
The Distribution
Kashihero continued.
---
"…Channel the hell energy."
---
"…Distribute the load."
---
"…Through me."
"…Through Arin."
---
Arin's breath stopped.
---
"…Me too…?"
---
Kashihero nodded once.
---
"…You're part of the system now."
---
The Mechanism
The system updated rapidly.
---
[Energy Distribution Protocol Activated]
---
Sources:
Lucas — Hell Energy
Kashihero — Spirit Energy
Arin — Hybrid Stabilization
---
Output:
Mass Teleportation Field
---
---
Lucas exhaled slowly.
---
"…This is insane."
---
Kashihero answered—
---
"…So is the situation."
---
The Final Push
Lucas closed his eyes.
---
"…Fine."
---
Dark energy began to rise from his body.
---
Not like before.
---
This was deeper.
---
Heavier.
---
Colder.
---
Hell energy.
---
The Strain Begins
The moment it activated—
His body trembled.
---
Cracks of dark light spread across his arms.
---
"…It's too much…"
---
The Support
Kashihero stepped forward.
---
His hand touched Lucas's shoulder.
---
"…Now."
---
The Soul Door pulsed violently.
---
Energy flowed.
---
From Lucas—
Into Kashihero—
Into Arin—
---
Balanced.
---
Controlled.
---
Arin's Role
Arin felt it instantly.
---
The energy was overwhelming.
---
But he didn't reject it.
---
He stabilized it.
---
His body became the bridge.
---
The Veil Responds
Then—
Something unexpected happened.
---
The Veil Connection activated.
---
The space around them shifted slightly.
---
Distortion—
But controlled.
---
As if the Veil itself—
Was assisting.
---
System Update
---
[Veil Key Reaction Detected]
---
Spatial Manipulation Efficiency Increased
---
---
Kashihero's eyes narrowed slightly.
---
"…So you're helping."
---
The Teleportation Begins
Lucas raised his hand.
---
The sky above the capital distorted.
---
Massive circles of energy formed.
---
One—
Then ten—
Then hundreds.
---
The Citizens Lift
People froze.
---
Then—
One by one—
They began to disappear.
---
Pulled into the light.
---
Transported away.
---
The Cost Increases
Lucas's body shook violently.
---
"…Hurry…"
---
Arin gritted his teeth.
---
"…I'm holding it…!"
---
Kashihero remained still.
---
Controlling everything.
---
Perfect balance.
---
Perfect flow.
---
The City Empties
Within minutes—
Entire districts vanished.
---
Not destroyed—
Saved.
---
Moved beyond the battlefield.
---
The King Watches
Above—
Xarge's gaze deepened.
---
For the first time—
There was interest.
---
"…You interfere…"
---
The Final Moment
The last wave of citizens disappeared.
---
The teleportation circles collapsed.
---
The energy faded.
---
Lucas dropped to one knee.
---
"…That…"
"…was too much…"
---
Arin fell beside him.
---
"…We did it…"
---
The Calm Before Impact
Kashihero stood alone.
---
Looking up.
---
At the sky.
---
At Xarge.
---
The Final Line
The battlefield had changed.
---
No civilians.
No distractions.
---
Only war remained.
---
And now—
There was nothing left to hold back.
