Chapter 112: Kind of a fall (2)

...

During 3 months after Jaehwan left, a lot of things changed outside of <Chaos> also. As Carpediem grew in strength, there were forces that opposed Carpediem. These were the generals and underlings of the Lords of the <Great Lands>. Mino was shocked to hear this.

“…Isn’t that a problem? How can we beat them? They are at least 4th stage Adapters.”

“We can beat them now.”

Mino understood why Claire was so certain after she saw the ‘Tower of Awakeners’. That tower had the same name as the fortress. People were training day and night within the tower.

Most people of <Chaos> did not walk the path of becoming an Adapter anymore.

‘Awakening.’

It was the present that the King had left for <Chaos>.

“…And we can even fight 9th stage Adapters?”

“Yeah.”

She thought ones at the 5th or 6th level were untouchable, and now the 9th were considered like they were nothing. She couldn’t even guess what kind of power it was.

“We can’t defeat any Adapters though. The 9th is just a start. There are a lot of Generals who are over the 9th stage in <Great Lands>. Some are coming over even now.”

After Jaehwan killed hundreds of Generals, the 9th region was now in a fierce war, due to the destroyed power balance. There were hundreds and thousands of dead spirits transferring over to <Chaos>. Some were Great Generals.

“What stage are they? Great Generals?”

“10th or sometimes 11th stage.”

“…How strong are they?”

“I heard they can destroy a mountain in one strike.”

“God…”

Mino became pale.

“What if they attack this place? We can’t defeat them.”

“Yeah, at least the ‘humans’ can’t.”

Mino flinched. It seemed she was too calm for saying that it was impossible. Impossible for ‘humans.’ It seemed like someone other than humans was helping them. Then she realized something was off. It had been 3 months since Jaehwan left. It was enough time for those Generals to attack this place. But how was this fortress still safe?

“You know the place where the Generals are sent to when they die is different, right?”

“…A bit. I heard they are summoned into the Palace of Reincarnation.”

Higher stage Adapters were summoned to the palace so they could be revived quickly. Claire nodded.

“Right. You knew.”

“…What about it?”

“Well, the Overseers of Void Factory fixed it. The place that they get called into is different now.”

Was that something that could be changed? But..

“Where to?”

“Here.”

“…Huh?”

“Generals are called to Carpediem when they die.”

Mino screamed in shock. “…HERE?!”

“Yeah.”

“B-but…! We can’t fight them! They’re too strong!”

Mino became pale but Claire didn’t seem to be concerned at all.
