Heavenly Saga - Chapter 278
After a few weeks of traveling, Kraftvoll and the two young ladies that accompanied her were able to reach the mansion of the governor of the Innere Territory. Governor Kristoper recommended that they rest first before their briefing but Kraftvoll wanted to do the otherwise.
With that, Governor Kristoper went and did as Kraftvoll wanted him to do. the governor’s face suddenly turned serious in the middle of his explaining.
He continued his explanation saying, “That was until something happened. For some reason, all of the pillars of the Holy Alliance decided to withdraw some of their elites. Seeing that move of ours as an opportunity, the higher-ups of the army of the Dark Alliance decided to attack viciously. Since some of the elites on our side were going back to do something, the Dark Alliance was able to do the unimaginable. They were able to move the scale of the war!”
‘This part is really my fault! If only I knew that I will not die at that moment! The only thing that I could do now is to make use of my power to help the Holy Alliance!’ Kraftvoll thought to himself after hearing the governor.
“As you know, all of the various seishin practitioners that were still training under all of the great academies throughout the Holy Alliance were all called upon. After all, the hidden experts of those academies were enough to help us turn the tide of the battle on to the equilibrium,” said Governor Kristoper.
There was a moment of silence right after the governor finished saying those words. After a few moments, the governor continued talking saying, “Thanks to the great efforts of the forces of the academies, our Holy Alliance was not in a disadvantaged spot anymore. But there is another problem that arose, the Dark Alliance decided to make the same move. They really wanted to settle the war once and for all for some reason.”
The three youth who were listening to the governor suddenly glanced among each other. A moment later, Kraftvoll decided to say a word to the governor.
“While we are on the topic, Sir Governor. “Where does the war between the sides of both great alliances take place, anyway?” he asked the governor.
“The three of you really want to go to that place as early as the three of you can, huh? Well, I’m going to tell you then. That wretched place is known as the ground zero of the land, Rote Linie! It is the place, where all of the wars including the present one, were taking place,” said the governor to answer Kraftvoll’s inquiry.
‘So Rote Linie is the place, huh? Well, I better get myself ready for this shit, then!’ Kraftvoll thought to himself.
After a few seconds, Kraftvoll showed a hint of a smile toward the governor. He said to him while he was smiling, “Thank you for all of the information, Sir Governor. Forgive me for my tone earlier. I am just tired because I’ve been traveling ever since I finished training inside the Central Valkyrie Forest. We’ll take our leave, now. Thank you for allotting some time to brief us!”
After saying those words, Kraftvoll and the other two young ladies beside him decided to exit the study of the governor.
While they were walking away from his study, the governor thought to himself, ‘Central Valkyrie Forest!? Isn’t that the place where the elite troops were going to be deployed? Is that mean that-!? All of the higher-ups really valued that boy! Why is he sent in the war like this if they valued him that much then?’
The governor could not help but wonder about that matter. Since he was unable to question the authority of the pillars, the only thing that he could do was sigh while he was by himself.
Kraftvoll and his two companions decided to go to the rooms of the princess to talk. Upon arriving, the three decided to make themselves comfortable so that they could talk about the situation.
As usual, Kraftvoll was the first one to give his opinion. He said to the two young ladies in front of him, “I am the reason why we are on this mess. If only I did not send that message, Master would not notify the army to withdraw some of the elite seishin practitioners on their ranks.”
Belle immediately hugged his dejected boyfriend while she was saying, “Don’t beat yourself too much, my love. Let’s get stronger together to bring back the glory of Holy Alliance so don’t be discouraged now!”
Princess Kyomi couldn’t help but be cringed at what she was seeing in front of her. Due to her temper about something like this, she said to the two lovely birds, “I told the two of you to stop flirting in front of him, right?”
After hearing her, the two stopped what they were doing together. A moment later, they glanced at each other and they laughed at the next moment.
“Come on! Don’t tease a single like me! ANYWAY, you don’t really have to beat yourself Kraftvoll because the adults know what they were doing. Don’t be dishearted about something like that, we are the next generation of the Holy Alliance so we can’t let ourselves be dispirited by something like that. After all, we are the future of the Holy Alliance,” said the princess of Walkiria Kingdom.
They continued that serious conversation until it slowly became more mellow as they talked among each other. And just like that, the evening came without them knowing it.
To be able to depart first thing in the morning, Kraftvoll and the two young ladies decided to call it a day.

Even before the sun rose through the horizon, Kraftvoll, Belle, and Princess Kyomi woke up to depart as early as they could. After saying their farewell to the governor, the three immediately departed the moment they reunited with their seishin beasts.
“Mr. driver, you can start driving now. We have to get to our destination as early as we could,” said Kraftvoll the moment the three of them were able to get comfortable inside the carriage.
Following Kraftvoll’s command, the driver immediately did his thing so that the horses could go on their way to start their journey. The four seishin beast partners of the three youth were soaring through the sky as they followed the carriage who was traveling through the land route.
Kraftvoll and his companions could not use them as their ride because it’s too much risk. After all, the three of them might be assassinated by the seishin practitioner that was assigned to spy on the territories of the Holy Alliance inside the Krieg Verwustet.
As usual, both Kraftvoll and Belle were changing roles of surveying the area in their vicinity to make sure of their safety. Kraftvoll decided to do this to make sure that the experience that he felt in the Central Valkyrie Forest would not repeat itself yet again.
After all, if that experience of his happened to them inside the Kried Verwuster, they would be killed without hesitation. Kraftvoll was just spared because the seishin beasts that he fought did not aim at killing him.

A week had passed even since Kraftvoll and the other departed from the mansion of the governor of the Innere Territory.
During this span of time of their journey, the three youth who was aiming to come to the Rote Linie, the battlefield for the Seventh Interracial Way, was able to reach the northernmost part of the Bauch Territory, the next place to the Innere Territory.
Kraftvoll and the two young ladies were just about to cross the border to the Halfte Territory when Kraftvoll was able to sense something that made him excited again.
“There are some group of people battling other people! The other side must be a group of a bandit! Thank goodness I have something to do. I am really boring myself out here conjuring Gale Survey seishin spell constantly!” said Kraftvoll as he jumped from the running carriage.
Before he could even fall to the ground, he shouted, “Sky Soar!”
With that shout of his, Kraftvoll’s inner seishin essences suddenly came out of his body at the next moment. A second before his body reached the ground, those inner seishin essences of his turned into a body of translucent air that helped him soar through the sky as much as he could.
“Here he goes again!” Princess Kyomi could only say after seeing Kraftvoll’s sudden move.
“That’s one of his charms, you know?” Belle nonchalantly said to Princess Kyomi who was sighing at Kraftvoll’s behavior.
Using his Sky Soar seishin spell, Kraftvoll soared to the place where he felt that there were fighting. After a few minutes, he was able to see the whole situation.
The moment he saw the side of the bandits, Kraftvoll decided to activate two of his seishin aura. At the next moment, he immediately started chanting, “Ye entities who represent the gloom and destruction of the world…”
