The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 130 - The Destruction of Herbras

Hellen was standing looking out. Nothing extraordinary happened to him. Although in fact he had just seen the army of Agapanthus with the King and the Cheltics of the Ravens departing for Ranunculus. Hellen's prayer was with them.

Previously James also went to Ranunculus first, while he could not find Valentina's whereabouts until now. Perhaps, Valentina was worried about the situation of her father and decided to join James.

Now Hellen is alone in Agapanthus. Although there were still a few servants accompanying him, this was a bit different. What Hellen wanted was the presence of Clara or her brother. He also started to miss his mother and father.

"How are they all doing? I hope they're okay - napa. I hope we get together again like before..."

Hellen clenched both hands in front of his chest. Closing his eyes, he sobbed - sobs. Keep mumbling the names of people he knows.

Unbeknownst to him, the sapphire gem necklace shone brightly. Yet only a blink of the jewel's eyes returned to how they were.

CRUST!

".....!"

Hellen was surprised not to play with the view presented outside the window. Some of the servants who were with him were surprised, some of them even screamed hysterically.

Slowly the surface of the ground outside the crack that creates a crack. Not a narrow gap, because the gap continues to widen. Even the lavender flowers planted by James can be devoured.

The black sky was getting more and more dense in color. Hellen was even astonished and started searching for a speck of light from the star that had not long ago appeared. The light continued to dim and disappeared covered in clouds.

Cracked soil does not just get there. It spreads in all directions in a short time. Hellen was getting scared to see it, he stepped back as far as possible. Worried that the crack was approaching the palace section.

"It was just an earthquake and now the ground has been cracked. Not to mention the morning never came. Is this the apocalypse?!" Shouted one of the servants.

Please save us, Lord.

...****...

The cracks in Agapanthus itself are from Ranunculus. Cracks of land not only spread to Agapanthus but other areas that are still within the scope of the Herbras Continent. So powerful, Hortensia even almost hit by a tsunami because a small part of the land is on the coastline.

Frightened, Cattleya searches for the whereabouts of her father who suddenly disappeared. When he opens every door, there is always no result. Cattleya began to cry because she felt abandoned by her father.

When some soldiers said to evacuate him. But Cattleya was reluctant to do so before she found Duke Nielsen. But his efforts continued to fail, there was no one else in Nielsen's house other than him who had not been evacuated.

"Dad...Where is Dad now?"

...****...

"Stand behind me. This man is still an enemy because this is a battlefield."

Rovers put up a hand shield to block Valentina from Edmond's hand. Because this man is on the opposition side and there is still a possibility of harm for Valentina.

Just now Rovers want to take Valentina further. But cracks that appear on the ground surface cause their movement to be restricted. The crack was straight splitting Edmond's side with Rovers and Valentina.

"What's this?" Edmond asked - asked. Even so, his gaze was not released from Valentina.

"The black magic is back at its owner." Mumbled Rovers.

Rovers turned to the opposite side of the palace. Where there's Hendrick, Vester and Count Cheltics there. From there, he could see the pitch-black smoke that had filled the air.

Someone absorbed black magic like Clara Scoleths did?

"Edmond Southbayern! Please watch Miss Harold for a moment. I have to check what's going on on the other side."

After saying so, Rovers rushed to the place where Hendrick should have been. Capably he made it through the cleaved ground whose depth could not yet be ascertained.

After Rovers. Edmond came down his horse and jumped over the huge gap that ran between him and Valentina.

"You okay?" Ask Edmond.

...****...

"Prince James!"

Rovers yelled at James who was not far from him. The man was still in enemy custody, soon Rovers helped him and was able to take down most of it.

When it felt safe, James immediately drooped limp and fell down. His hand trembled because it had not been used by him for a long time. In training he usually just swung his sword for ten minutes, after which there was a pause.

But in the state of war, his hands did not get any rest at all. Lucky Rovers came before he could fall.

"Thank you very much."

"No problem." The view of Rovers swept around. "Where's Duke Wayne? Or have you seen Clara Scoleths?"

James could only shake. He's honest here. Indeed, a moment ago he could still find the figure of Clara who was talking to Hendrick. But he had lost track of them for quite a while.

James could not find them because he himself was still preoccupied by the enemy who seemed to be uncontrollable, their numbers were also endless. Making James barely slam his own sword in annoyance with this unfinished war.

Plus there was an impromptu earthquake and now the ground is split - split with a terrible depth. Because he had thrown many enemies into there and now the gap has not been fulfilled by the corpse.

Everything feels terrible. In fifteen years of his life, he felt only now that he was so miserable. He has not even entered his adult age and he has experienced and followed the war.

It was really unexpected.

It is still good to be mentally healthy - just healthy.

Not knowing what would happen after he rose to the status of being a king. Just hope there won't be another war of this kind and his life could be calmer.

"Then I have to look for it"

Not a step Rovers walked, Vester ran towards the two of them in a hurry. He even carried a girl in his arms. Only now did Rovers see him close to the opposite sex.

But when he saw his familiar physique in the eyes of Rovers and James. For some reason, James' fatigue suddenly disappeared into the earth and rushed to Vester as fast as he could. Leaving Rovers in shock.

"Sister Rara! Brother Rara!"

Vester knelt down, he began to be overwhelmed withstanding the pain in his body. He was tired and now still had to lift weights.

James walked up to him while constantly shouting out worryingly. She held Clara's head, and the girl's mouth was covered with blood from the vomit. And on his chest was a huge hole that kept blood flowing.

James's hands trembled even more, and began to break out in cold sweat. There is nothing more terrifying than this. Though not long ago James bandaged Clara's wounds from a fight with King Willem. Now the wound is open wider.

"Sister Rara...?"

...****...

"What you're doing now is madness! Absorbing black magic with a grudge? There's not gonna be a good ending to it."

The furious Hendrick began to throw all the formalities away. To hell with the status of his opponent who was an emperor. This man has gone mad to his nerves.

But Meiger is not a respectful madman so he is not easily offended. Meiger continued to strike to every weak spot he saw from Hendrick.

Hendrick was not focused at all. His mind is not here. While the Meiger golden sword did not stop absorbing black magic.

He's getting swallowed up by the darkness.
