The return of the Apostle God of Death
Sacrifice too great

The next day, out of all the Julian forces, only 12 men volunteered for Julian's suicide mission. They plan to take advantage of an impending storm to infiltrate the island of Kaifert. But suddenly arrived the scouts on the beach saw the demon attack for the second time. Julian immediately ordered his troops to prepare, as his troops were already in formation. There appeared a single demon figure that exuded an extremely powerful darkenergy from the kaifert island. Julian smiled at her because he felt that this battle would be a lot of fun. The battle began, two armies clashing against each other. The frontline of Julian's army was able to withstand the onslaught of the demons but suddenly appeared an orch general with his orc army came able to break through the front line. Reinald quickly shot his archery with a special arrow created by Damian. The arrow slid right into the eye of the orc and blew its head off with fire magic embedded in its arrows. A fierce battle ensued, Julian headed straight for the most troublesome Orc general among the others. Julian immediately changed himself to the apostle form. Julian flew up and slammed his sword into the orc general so hard that the surrounding demon army bounced and the ground cracked. But the orc general was able to hold it with his axe. Julian took out a soul binding chain and slashed the right hand of the orc general. With his relaxed orc general was able to regenerate the severed hand very quickly. Julian said with annoyance

“sial pigs this one will be very troublesome.”

Orc general retaliated by swinging his axe towards Julian, the hard swing was successfully held by Julian but still made julian retreat a few meters. Julian retaliated by banging the axe of the orc general and again cutting off his hand but this time the hellfire of black flames, julian's new ability was able to withstand the regeneration of the orc general. But the orc general deliberately ate the rest of his arm to eliminate the hellfire and regenerate again, the Orc general issued an ability similar to Julian but this time he was like bringing up tentacles that were able to swallow everything. Julian was able to avoid it but many of his troops were casualties. Julian also said.

“ahh I have to finish this soon.”

Julian took a deep breath and focused on performing one slash and defeating the Orc general with this one slash. Hellfire appeared on his sword, and he raised his wings. Julian flew and was able to split two general Orcs in a split second speed. But the threat is not over. Archdemon finally arrived on the ground and immediately launched a huge magic. Suddenly appeared an enormous ice golem able to withstand the attack but the golem was destroyed. It turns out that the witch queen came with reinforcements. The witch queen flew up and fought Archdemon alone and said.

“I'll hold it, I've heard your plan. I think it's a good time for your team to infiltrate Kaifert Island because now their forces are focused on our side.”

Julian immediately called all the 12 people who would come with him. A total of 13 people left for Kaifert island. Arriving there, they saw that the demons had begun to build supporting infrastructure for their stay on the island. Julian who remembers what Lucifer did first he will try to repeat it again. But this time he used a damian magic tool that will bring up a seal around the island and have the effect of cui magic, the one made from the church's sacred artifact that even a demon king would find difficult to destroy. But the artifact will only be active if the owner activates it, for now the one who keeps it is Reinald. They also tried to infiltrate the island of Kaifert but the deeper they even feel crowded because the dark energy that appears from somewhere appears very concentrated. Julian also discussed their plan to get to the middle of the island.

“because of the intense dark energy I will only bring Reinald with me I am able to give him protection with my strength but it will not last long because it also absorbs my mana. First you lure them to the end of the island I'll give you the help of one of Lucifer's former subordinates who is now my servant. He'll help fight and divert them and I'll be heading towards the middle of the island with Reinald. And make sure you've reached the beach when you see the seal has begun to circle the island. Otherwise you will be trapped forever inside and only the person who activates can freely enter and exit the seal.”

They also rested while waiting for daylight when the demon's strength weakened due to the sunlight. The sun is beginning to give itself a sign that the plan is about to begin. The diversion began, the demons began to be lured towards them. Julian gave protection to Reinald and immediately headed towards the center of the island while avoiding the demon army, but when he arrived in the middle of the demon Julian felt the presence of 3 other archdemons near a giant hole. Those with camouflage magic approached the hole and while trying to activate one of the archdemons realized their existence. Julian quickly confronted him and tried to fight back.

“Reinald resume your duty, I will hold it. Quickly before their help comes.”

“Necromancer it is very annoying. I'll kill him first, I'm Julian Hirowirzt Apostle The ancient one summon a dead soul, hereby I order you to kill the man who pointed his sword at me.”

Julian digs the dead spirit from hell and attacks the Necromancer and drags him to Julian's dimension. And now there are only 2 more archdemons left and there are still 400 other demons. Meanwhile, Reinald, who finally managed to turn on his seal, runs towards Julian and helps him, he shoots with a holy arrow and is able to penetrate the heart of one of the archdemons and kill him. From far away Reinald saw Julian fighting very hard in the midst of the demon horde but he heard Julian's loud laughter that he felt very happy to kill them all. Reinald also launched a beacon sign that the mission was over. Julian who still enjoyed the sensation of blood flowing in the sword and his hand was finally able to kill the last archdemon by cutting the body of the archdemon into 7 parts. They rushed to the diversion forces but when they got there, of the 10 people who became diversions only 3 of them remained. They all sacrificed themselves for the success of this mission. Julian who saw the head of his army that had not reconnected with his body could only mourn the sacrifice of his comrade. The sky lowered its waters like the sky was crying over what was happening. The moment they were about to come out of the seal of the island arrived Reinald who became the last person to be pierced through his chest by one demon disguised as their partner. It turns out that Lucifer's subordinate, Julian's accomplice, is betrayed. Reinald's severely wounded forced the rest of them to leave and he attempted to detonate his surroundings with a fire arrow that would explode if the tip was broken. Reinald also said.

“you killed me, but at least I'll make you remember who you killed by taking you with me. And Julian please apologize to Ivory for not being able to return.”

Julian and the rest of his team left and from a distance an explosion appeared. Arriving at the beach the troops cheered for their success but Julian returned to his tent with a deep sense of guilt and regret. Ivory came and asked.

“so you guys made it. But where is Reinald.”

Julian who was holding the reinald arrow gave it to ivory and said.

“sorry he can't come back, I'm the idiot here, and I'm the one guilty of all this.”

Ivory, who heard that, cried and hugged Reinald's arrow. Their forces returned and the imperial army replaced them to guard the border. Arriving at Athens Julian made a funeral for all his troops who had sacrificed themselves for them.

“for those who sacrifice their lives for them, we must be happy for them so that their efforts are not in vain. And for you Reinald, you're a good man, I hope we can have a drink and party together again someday.”
