Chapter 879
## Chapter 879
**Preemptive Strike.**
Sure, conducting individual combat is something any superhuman can do, but the Alliance still doesn’t know the exact combat power and special abilities of the demons from the True Demon World.
Therefore, they needed a martial artist who had an especially high probability of escaping any “sudden unforeseen situations” that might arise from the enemy’s side. Unless it was Zito himself who came down.
Jin, Murakan, Vallas, Alpen, Tasha, Luna, Luntia, Tuben, Heijin, Vanessa, Zed, Bale, Hedo, Dante, Owal, Yona, Talaris.
Around that amount of superhumans met the mission requirements.
Among them, Jin and Murakan were the Commander-in-Chief and the last line of defense, so it was right for them to stay at the command center as much as possible. The former patriarchs, the Black Knights, and Zed should protect Hufester.
Bale was the core of the defensive wall along with the golden ship, and Dante couldn’t leave the Empire, of course. Owal and Yona were always on infiltration and reconnaissance missions, and Talaris-nim was still watching Zito’s eye.
Therefore, the three people who can move flexibly were Luna, Luntia, and Hedo. Even so, the constant mission of “clearing fractures” was a common task for all superhumans, so there was no room for complacency.
“Fractures continue to form throughout the Alliance, and our troops and superhumans continue to fight accordingly. The world is chaotic, so we cannot exclude the possibility of the enemy suddenly breaking the ceasefire and attacking our side.”
“Yes, we cannot guarantee that those guys will continue to defend forever. Besides, Ayula mentioned that the former God of Battle of the Red Legend Tribe, Luke, will soon begin his activities in the human world.”
“Luke, the decision the sect of the Sun God Religion will make when he appears in the human world is also crucial. Whether they will stick closer to Zipple or eventually separate… Either way, they are still enemies we have to defeat.”
Jin and his companions exchanged opinions for a while to select the main characters of this counterattack against the True Demon World.
“Elder Sister Luna seems like a good choice.”
“Yes, it seems better to send the strongest of the three.”
“Unanimous agreement.”
It’s a self-proclaimed fact that Luna was someone who had the potential to “win” in any situation. Even the strongest of the previous generation, including Cyron, Kelliark, Ron, and Talaris-nim, agreed with this.
The mission assigned to Luna was the annihilation and exhaustion of Zito’s flesh. Based on Jin’s personal experience, the only person who could exhaust Zito’s flesh alone and still receive the least damage was Luna.
The strategy for the counterattack was simple.
Luna would infiltrate the enemy territory alone to engage in battle, and when necessary, the other waiting superhumans would join her.
Luntia and Hedo would most likely provide support, but depending on the situation on various battlefields, all of the Alliance’s superhumans, including Jin, could join.
Of course, the best scenario would be for Luna to solve everything without needing support. And Jin trusted Luna.
After the decision was made, Jin immediately communicated the situation to the Garden of Swords.
{Yes, young patriarch. This is the Chief Butler. Understood, I will immediately send the First Flagbearer. Should I coordinate with the little master[1] of the Hidden Palace, or should I send the Red Owl?} ([1]: As Talaris-nim is now healed, Siris is no longer acting as the master of the Hidden Palace. Since she’s the next in line as Jin, she’s the little master of the Hidden Palace. I’m not using the word “young” as in “young patriarch” because “young master” will become confusing. )
“It’s better to coordinate with the little master of the Hidden Palace.”
{The younger ones… Oh no, young patriarch! Is this a solo mission? That’s great. It turns out I’ve finished clearing the fractures in my assigned area. Oh, Chief Butler. Can I casually speak? It’s uncomfortable every time. I feel like I’m trying to please you every time I speak.}
{The First Flagbearer must uphold the integrity of the clan by protecting the Law. Hm, well… if it’s uncomfortable for you. Outside of official ceremonies, you can speak more casually. Of course, with the permission of the young patriarch. And in places with many eyes, you must maintain proper etiquette.}
{Oh, thank you! It seems you’re not always so rigid, Chief Butler. Will you allow it, young patriarch?}
“She has my permission, Chief Butler. Then I’ll contact you again. Take care, Elder Sister.”
{[Well, don’t worry. Go and destroy Zito’s flesh or whatever. I’ll bring a couple of bottles of good wine when you come back.]}
{[Hey, wait a second, Chief Butler! When I made the same request as Luna, you flatly refused!? Where are you going, Chief Butler? Chief Butler!]}
{[It seems the head of the Black Sword Association has time to discuss with me. I’m going to review the documents. Would you like to come, or are you heading to the newly reported fracture area?]}
{[Ugh, I’ll head to the fracture area! These demon bastards, they keep coming out endlessly like cockroaches. Anyway, can I speak more casually with the young patriarch when we’re not in official meetings? Oh, boy. You know this? This great-grandpa bet with Sir Alpen again about clearing the fracture and I won again. It seems he really wants to beat me at least once. Hahaha!]}
Jin laughed at the commotion he heard through the communication device. The vibrant sights of his family and comrades always served as a great source of strength.
“Now, let’s get to work too. Jet, check the battle reports from various fronts and organize them. Miss Quikantel and Enya, move to the defensive wall.”
“Understood.”
“Yes, Lord Jin!”
Qwaul and Valeria had requested that Quikantel and Enya join them on the defensive wall formation mission.
The Dragon Fire Blocking Barrier and the Power of Time.
With the application of these two powers through Qwaul’s inventions and Valeria’s knowledge, they believed it would significantly reinforce the entire defensive wall.
While Jet reviewed the reports, Jin briefly visited Murakan’s room. There, Murakan lay in bed with a half-dead expression, his head resting on Gilly’s lap.
“Young master, you’re here? Oh, this… Well, don’t misunderstand. It’s just that Lord Murakan said that doing this might help him recover faster.”
“Hey, Murakan. You’re keeping Gilly quite busy.”
“Shh, go away. You’re bothering my rest. Ugh, strawberry pie. This time, I’ve really suffered a lot… Ugh, it hurts, uhh, ugh…”
“Yes, since he returned from the enemy territory with half his face gone, I’m really worried… It seems there might be some problems with his tongue too. What should I do…”
Unable to stand it, Jin silently closed the door. After a moment, he heard the click of the latch, and for some reason, a shiver ran down his spine.
‘Murakan, he is suffering, but it’s not that serious. Is he exaggerating to get Gilly’s attention, and Gilly has no idea? Or could it be that maybe she knows and enjoys it? I don’t know, I really don’t know…’
Jin returned to his office, alternating his gaze between the reports Jet brought and the communication device.
The first report on the operation would arrive from Luna in 30 minutes or an hour.
‘I shouldn’t worry too much because it’s Elder Sister Luna we’re talking about. But it takes a bit of the crimson aura. While facing the demons, she might not use it, but against the large fractures or Zito’s flesh, she might have no choice but to use the crimson aura. I don’t know how much she has left.’
What if my Elder Sister completely exhausts her crimson aura?
Suddenly, that doubt crossed his mind. However, Jin concluded that there wouldn’t be a significant problem.
‘If it were a serious problem, Father would have surely given her a stronger warning. But when he sent my Elder Sister back, he simply advised her to be as careful as possible. So she should be fine.’

At that moment, a white dimensional portal opened on a plain of the “Kingdom of Kikaro” located in the southernmost part of Hufester.
[Booong!]
“Lady Siris, thank you again this time.”
“I never imagined that I would be transporting martial artists to the battlefield this way after becoming the little master of the Hidden Palace.”
Siris sighed and spoke.
She was aware of the crucial role she and Mort were playing in the war, but she couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of shame for moving martial artists instead of leading the battlefield as the little master of the Hidden Palace.
“Guilt can serve as a good springboard for development if used wisely. Right now, you are a little weaker than me, Lady Siris, but from what I can see, you have the same potential as mine. Besides, you are incredibly strong despite your age.”
A little weaker? The same potential? Siris was about to respond that way, but she shrugged. Luna wasn’t just speaking empty words.
“Besides, wouldn’t it cause greater losses if Lady Siris and Mort were missing from the battlefield compared to me? So don’t be too discouraged and continue waiting for the Full Ice more calmly and dedicate yourself to it. The day will come when all your accumulated experiences will explode.”
“I will keep that in mind. By the way, this place is already… messed up. I’ve had some training sessions on this plain when I was younger, but now it seems completely like the land of the True Demon World.”
Siris looked around.
In all directions, there were fortresses and buildings of the True Demon World, and purple energy swirled. Especially, a castle that stood ominously in the middle of the plain displayed such a massive scale that it reminded her of the former imperial palace.
Luna laughed and lightly lifted Krantel, who had clung to her back.
“After fighting them, it turns out these guys are nothing special, but they act unnecessarily as if they’re tough. This time, I don’t have to protect anyone, so I can destroy them thoroughly on my own. Lady Siris, you’re not so weak that I need to protect you, right?”
“I will be waiting nearby with Mort.”
“If there’s anyone who could serve as excellent food for your growth, I’ll select some and send them. Is that okay?”
“Oh, I’m glad to hear that. I look forward to it.”
Soon, Luna descended from Mort and concentrated energy on Krantel. The castles of the True Demon World immediately detected the power and activated their defensive magic and equipment. Luna contemplated the attack spells and bombardments heading towards her with an expressionless face.
“Let’s start by demolishing the castles first.”
Runcandel’s Final Movement 1
Skybreaker – Luna Runcandel
As soon as Luna plunged Krantel into the ground, a violent earthquake erupted, as if she were flipping the entire plain.
