chapter 6
6 – no guess.(1)
People say.
In other words, the magic of the Tower of Dawn’s owner, the Midnight Witch, has reached divine heights.
It was a truly sacred and inviolable area that was taboo even for those who transcended the category of human beings to casually mention the divine name, but nevertheless, she was already revered by people all over the world as a living god.
One day, when the gods from the other world suddenly arrived, the sky opened and the ground turned upside down, and tens of thousands of monsters rained down from there.
In the aftermath alone, ‘Twilight’, one of the seven magic towers on the continent, which was said to be closest to the other world, collapsed, and when they stood on the ground and formed an army in earnest, the human empire, which seemed to be eternal and immortal, was split into dozens and divided into four parts. .
As the humans, who are called the rulers of the continent, collapsed, the heterogeneous tribes living in the periphery would be horrified. Some species were completely extinct, and even if they did survive, there were a lot of people who barely survived.
But that was not the end of this continent.
Who is it that unites the survivors on the earth, where only despair remains, and even though the world is perishing, it gathers the transcendentalists who are still infants and independents in the heavens and under the heavens and resists the foreign press?
Who is it that clears the abyss you see when you look up after the sky opens and brings light back to the world?
Who the hell is the hero who achieved the feat of killing a god by completely destroying the body that was impossible to even touch by bringing the god down from the sky?
The sun that never sets and the tower of dawn. ‘The Midnight Witch’ Elena Edelweiss.
There was not a single person on this continent who did not know the name of this hero who accomplished all these feats.
When she saved the world from destruction, people worshiped her as a hero, and when she destroyed the god of the other world that caused all situations in front of everyone, she was worshiped as a god. Even the gods they believed in couldn’t achieve it, but if she proved it in front of everyone’s eyes, what on earth could she be if she wasn’t a god?
All the surviving transcendents knelt before her, and among them there were those who believed in her as a god.
Could it be because of their beliefs? Or was her karma really rising to the divine position? She finally overturned the principle of heaven that no gods could touch.

“Miss Elena, wake up. We’re almost there.”
“Ughhhhh?”
Guided by a familiar voice somewhere, the consciousness locked in the darkness begins to emerge. Lady is a title I haven’t heard in a long time. Although she maintains her youthful beauty, now that she is well over 100 years old, no one calls her by such an unfamiliar title.
Even the comrades who were on the battlefield together looked at him and said God God God, needless to say about the others. Then, who is it that calls me so warmly now?
When I opened my closed eyes, I saw a familiar face. Although she lived a long life of more than 100 years, her memories were clearer than anyone else’s, and her brilliant intelligence quickly rescued the girl in front of her eyes from the sea of memories.
“Hey, illy…?”
“Yes. I am the maid in charge of the lady and the cutie Haley of the Merohim. More than that, the lady seems to have not yet woken up. How can you sleep so soundly in a rocking carriage like this? But now you need to wake up! Your fiance will soon When you meet a person, you can’t meet him with a blurry face full of eye mucus like this!!”
“what?”
I couldn’t come to my senses from Hailey’s rapid-fire words, but in the meantime, one thing clearly came to my ears.
Upon hearing that, Elena immediately looked out of the carriage window. Sunny spring sunshine. Birds big and small were flying to and fro over the well-tended city. As the carriage turns a corner, a beautiful castle begins to appear in the distance.
Towering spiers and strong fortress walls. He knows where this place is.
As soon as she saw it, she could tell that all these things she was seeing were things that had already entered her memory once.
“You’re really back…”
Originally, all the buildings that should have been ruined and broken remain intact.
The person who died in front of his eyes was alive with a smile on his face, and the world retained the vitality it had before it perished.
I just made it thinking it was just a futile wish that couldn’t come true, but I never thought it would come true. It was like a miracle. All the magic formulas remained in my head, but it is still full of things I don’t understand.
That incomprehensible half formula was proving that the ‘regression’ that happened to him now was a product of coincidence.
“Yes? What did you say, lady?”
“No. Nothing.”
“Ah, you’re lying. You suddenly make that face. It’s nothing. You’re sure it’s because of your fiancé? I knew that, so I prepared everything in advance. As a result of my research, Prince Damian, the lady’s fiancée, is in the vicinity. He’s famous for being kind. He has a very handsome face! Oh, you’ve already seen the portrait…”
“Haley. Quiet.”
Hailey, at Elena’s cold reply, shut her mouth.
As soon as I heard that name, mana flowed out of me. Even for him, it was only a long time ago, but the scars he left at that time still remained.
‘Elena. Oh my beautiful Elena. you are mine It’s my own.’
‘Why are you looking elsewhere? Your eyes are only looking at me. It means not paying attention to others. If that happens again, I’ll gouge out those eyes.’
‘Why are you saying that? What nonsense you’re leaving me. you will never escape me!! Elena Edelweiss belongs to me, Damian Krause!!!!’
“Tsk.”

My teeth tremble when I think of the days I fell victim to his muddy obsession in the past. The monumental day of returning to the past is, of course, the day of meeting him for the first time. The more I think about it, the more I feel sick to my stomach, but how fortunate it is not after the engagement ceremony.
If you look at it now, it can’t be the best timing because you can break off the engagement without any complicated procedures.
‘Wait, Damian. As soon as we meet, I’ll blow off your chin.’
With such scary thoughts, Hailey was confused as to whether she was really the girl she knew when she saw her owner gazing out the window with burning eyes and untied her hands.
It didn’t take much time to reach the Krause family’s castle. When he woke up, he had already entered Sarham, and the lord’s castle was close enough to catch his eye.
The castle was large and splendid, appropriate for the dignity of the great lord of the south. It wasn’t the crumbling ruins of the last time I saw it, but it was like a work of art created by a great sculptor with all his heart and soul. The main gate of the castle is engraved with a dragon wearing a sword, the symbol of Count Krause, giving the impression that the dragon is guarding the gate.
Likewise, knights in uniforms with family patterns were guarding the entrance, and their spirit was high, befitting one of the best swordsmen in the empire.
Count Krause, the owner of the castle, is one of only five sword masters on the continent, so his family’s soldiers can’t be without their skills. Come to think of it, Damien is indeed a mutant. Count Krauss, as well as Damian’s younger brother Alphonse, were all outstanding warriors and personalities, but only Damian resembled his father in appearance, but everything else was a man full of flaws.
After confirming the wolf, which symbolizes the Edelweiss family, engraved on the carriage, Hayley showed the knights who approached her a platinum plaque to prove her identity, and they were able to enter the castle without further inspection.
“Lady, don’t be nervous. Just do what you normally do. Oh, but don’t be too discouraged. Prince Damian says he’s doing well, but why would only our lady do it? Of course, our lady is the best. The most beautiful woman in the north! No. Empire, the best on the continent!! Milky Elena!!!”
“Haley. You seem to be more nervous when you say that?”
“Ouch! Okay!! I’ll hold my breath until the story is over! Swallow!”
“Poop.. I’m kidding. And don’t worry too much, it’ll be over in an instant.”
I have no intention of having a conversation with him. The only thing controlling Elena’s head right now is hitting Damian with her own hand. Before the return, Damian was not only excommunicated from his family, but even if he tried to seek revenge belatedly, the destruction of the world was imminent and he could not care whether he was dead or alive.
However, this return in time gave him the opportunity to condemn him with his own hands. I had no intention of passing this off in vain. He hasn’t done anything wrong yet, but he’s a human who can’t be called trash anyway. If you’re going to break up your marriage, it’s better for your mental health to commit it hotly.
So, Damian’s good deeds that he heard from Haley’s mouth next to him were completely unpleasant for him, who knew his true nature.
For some reason, these were unfamiliar stories that I had never heard of in my previous life, but whatever it was, it must have been fabricated in reality. You don’t have to worry about it.
“Then, do your best, lady!”
Before I knew it, I arrived in front of Damian’s room. Haley clasped her hands to cheer me up, and I also clasped my hands and adjusted my airway.
Although I am a wizard, I have fought against those who reached the pinnacle of warriors. It may not have been a general samurai restraint, but I was sure that the lazy Damian would be able to be subdued with the simple self-defense technique of now.
The senses that had reached the divine area sensed the presence in the room.
Even if he wasn’t a sword master, he felt that there was a strong man who reached the level close to him. It’s not Damian, and if so, is it Ken, his exclusive butler? I hadn’t met him often before, so I didn’t know him well, but I didn’t know he was hiding this skill.
“Lady Elena Edelweiss has arrived.”
Hailey knocks on the door to let her know I’m here. Then I felt the momentum in the room grow stronger.
That was the starting point. As soon as Hailey opened the door, I even used 「Haste」 to prevent Ken from interfering and rushed at Damian and immediately thrust my magically enhanced fist into his chin.
Boom!
I heard a sound that I couldn’t believe that human bodies collided with each other. It was a fist that was raised while using magic, so even a trained soldier would have been shocked enough to break one place if he was hit with his bare body.
However, the results that appeared in front of my eyes were completely different from what I had imagined.
“What are you doing right now, Elena Edelweiss?”
Damian, who should have been lying down with his jaw broken, leisurely grabbed my fist and looked at me with golden eyes resembling the dragons unique to the Krause family.
That was my first encounter with ‘him’.
