Jinwoo- no, Leon, ran with the Heroes. This time, he wanted to completely immerse himself in being Leon. He wanted to bring the story heading toward its end to a perfect conclusion.

Helby’s breath swept away everything in front, making the path to the battlefield remarkably clear.

Saintess Airi and the clerics accompanied them.

This was because Helby was guarding the church, making it impossible for any Erosion soldiers to approach. Although many parts of the scenario had been skipped or altered, Leon could smile.

For Helby, who had lifted her head once more, still possessed the same greatness as when he had first seen her. A Magic Dragon with golden radiance could surely become even greater.

Swish!

Leon cut down every soldier of Erosion in sight. Even the Heroes fighting against the soldiers of Erosion joined Leon’s procession.

Thousands of Heroes followed behind Leon.

The black masses that had tainted the sky no longer flew. The atmosphere of the battlefield was changing. The roars and explosions heard from afar proved that.

“It seems the battle has already begun. If we continue at this pace, we’ll be late.”

He felt an urgent need to join quickly.

Leon fell into brief thought.

He still had a performance prepared at the Church that had not yet been executed. He had prepared it using great amounts of Magic Power and computational power, but because Helby had intervened and taken control of the situation, he hadn’t had the chance to use it.

Currently, Helby had handed over all her power to the Magic Tower.

‘At this level…’

It was more than enough.

When Leon came to a halt, the Heroes following him also stopped.

“Leon nim?”

“What’s the matter?”

In response to the Heroes’ questions, Leon drew the Holy Sword from within his robes. Even the blade of the Holy Sword, which had managed to hold on until now, had a large crack. It looked as if it might shatter at any moment.

“I will join the battlefield quickly. Please entrust all your strength to me.”

The Heroes nodded with determined expressions.

They could entrust everything to the Leon before them. The heroes could see that Leon's physical condition was not normal. Though he had received the Saintess's healing, his body still had stains on it.

There was a glimpse of an unstable appearance, like a broken plate forcibly glued together. It was cruel, but the heroes thought Leon's appearance resembled that broken Holy Sword.

Whoosh!

When Leon raised the Holy Sword, light flowed from beneath everyone's feet. As the light gathered into a shape, it transformed into a white, radiant horse. The bodies of the Heroes lifted into the air and landed upon the horses made of light.

“O-oh!”

“Horses?”

"Shi-shining horses!"

"Incredible!"

Each time the white horses stepped, waves of light rippled out like those on a lake.

Numerous Heroes stood in line behind Leon, mounted on white horses. Created by the power of the Holy Sword, the horses moved as one with the will of the Heroes.

“Leon nim, are you alright?”

"Your body...."

The excited Heroes quickly calmed down upon seeing Leon. For a moment, his figure had seemed to blur.

Was it the price of using the Holy Sword?

To such questions, Leon only smiled gently.

"Our comrades are waiting for our help on the battlefield."

Neigh!

The horse Leon was riding reared its front legs.

Then it turned and headed toward the battlefield.

“Now is the time to move forward.”

The Heroes suppressed their rising fervor and sharpened their resolve. Their eyes were already fixed on the battlefield beyond Evanth.

As golden will settled on the white horses, their white manes blazed golden. Each time the hooves struck the ground, golden waves rippled and erased traces of Erosion.

“We will go at full speed!”

Kwaaaah!

The golden cavalry charged toward the battlefield.
