The Abyss Nest mutated rapidly, sprouting dozens of eyes and a city-swallowing mouth, transforming into a demon-spawning fortress of death. Commanders poised to attack as the sky split open and a pillar of white mist burst from within, piercing the heavens and illuminating the world. Reinhardt emerged unscathed from the disintegrating nest, rescuing the dazed Cecilia, leaving knights and commanders in awe of his overwhelming power.

Even coated in dust and traces of combat, the figure lurking behind Reinhardt emitted an innocent, regal presence that demanded attention.

All those except the Temple of Light members stood in shock.

"An elf? No... that presence... is she really?"

Was he truly serious and not merely jesting?

She refrained from probing his plans, fully aware of his intentions already.

Should the legends prove accurate, every danger faced would be justified.

Disturbed by the peculiar stares cast upon her, she attempted to conceal herself behind Reinhardt anew.

Erza waited not for his answer. Once she voiced her thoughts, she pivoted and strode toward the camp.

.

Having drilled his knights to the point of exhaustion, Reinhardt proceeded to his mansion.

His disclosure of Lunaris's collapse sent ripples of shock throughout the camp.

At this moment, the summit was doubtless proceeding at full throttle.

"The result should be out by this afternoon."

These artifacts proved challenging to craft, with scant supplies available, so even royalty owned mere handfuls.

Consequently, their fabrication had essentially halted entirely, heightening their rarity.

The transponder artifact allowed him to obtain the consensus from the kingdoms' leaders remotely, without attending in person.

Despite his utter faith in the Queen, events might not unfold precisely as he envisioned.

Lunaris's downfall presented the ideal opportunity to repeal the prohibition against entering the Tainted Lands past secure frontiers.

Why had demon operations dwindled in recent years?

What capabilities do they hold?

The trailblazers called the First and Second Arcanists.

Countless enigmas veiled this realm.

The path to unveiling them lay in rallying the allied knights and venturing into the Tainted Lands.

Throughout the day, he fulfilled his noble obligations while awaiting tidings from Windbloom City with patience.

Naturally, fresh recruits had filled the vacancies.

Reinhardt directed Ana to prepare a chamber for her.

Reinhardt himself contributed to this choice, anxious over her well-being.

Melissa, delivering her report, detected his distraction and questioned him.

After such prolonged absence from his domain, heaps of tasks piled up, particularly in the budding northern and southern city areas.

Though Melissa had persuaded them to commence building, advancement stalled absent his seal and endorsement.

"The other kingdoms are not idiots; surely they can see the threat leaving the demons to their devices would bring in the future."

Melissa, who had been perched on his armrest leaning against him to soothe him, swiftly tidied her garments and rose.

The sisters bound not by blood brimmed with relief and delight at their reunion.

Discovering Reinhardt's lack of bias toward humans and demi-humans left her stunned.

Could a human of this caliber truly exist?

Not to mention his staggering might.

No human of such prowess had ever crossed her path.

Elina inclined her head in a bow and shook it.

"I see; in that case, I would like you to continue teaching them."

Elina's availability proved a blessing.

Following their harrowing ordeal, predicting the elves' wary views of humans came easily.

Having saluted Elina, Reinhardt directed his gaze to Cecilia.

Her stiff bearing clearly indicated a newfound skill.

"H-How can that be? Lord Reinhardt is my savior."

"I-It’s good."

Reinhardt gave a subtle nod.

"They are... kind. A little... overwhelming, but kind."

"And your accommodations? Food? Anything you dislike?"

"No... everything is more than I expected."

Cecilia perceived it clearly as well.

At his armor.

At the warrior who plunged into infernal depths solely to save her.
