My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

"It's called the Desert of Chaos because it's where the Evil God was sealed by the Hero of Mankind, Luminus Troya, and the Demon Emperor, Amon Crimson."

Leon's eyes widen, and his heart races at her words. His gaze involuntarily dropped to the sand beneath him, and goosebumps spread across his skin.

"The Desert of Chaos is where the Evil God is sealed? Why didn't you tell me this, Miranda?" Leon asked, his voice stiff with disbelief.

"I'm sorry, master. I completely forgot to mention this," Miranda confessed regretfully.

Hearing that, the corner of Leon's mouth twitched. If he didn't know Miranda better, he might have suspected her of deliberately withholding such a significant secret.

Leon sighed softly, slowly regaining his composure. Yet the thought that the Evil God was sealed beneath his feet lingered, haunting him.

After all, the Evil God was a deity of unimaginable power. Even the Hero of Mankind, Luminus Troya, and the Demon Emperor, Amon Crimson, backed by the united forces of all races, had been unable to defeat him—only able to seal him away.

Although confident in his strength, Leon realized that, in the presence of a being as powerful as the Evil God, he might be no more than an ant.

Sensing his anxiety, Miranda's soothing voice echoed in his mind.

"You don't need to worry, Master. The seal that holds the Evil God is incredibly strong, and it's impossible for him to break free—at least not for now," Miranda reassured him gently.

Leon's anxiety eased, and a sigh escaped his lips.

"I know that," he replied before shifting the topic. "Then, can you tell me how to deal with these monsters?"

Suddenly, twenty monsters charged at him. Leon swiftly raised the Great Sword of Chaos, cutting through them in a single, fluid motion.

They were tall and menacing in appearance, yet their strength was negligible, allowing Leon to destroy them with a single, effortless strike.

"These monsters are born from the dead souls trapped in the Desert of Chaos, tainted by the Evil God's aura. They can't be fully destroyed unless you kill the Evil God," Miranda explained, causing Leon's face to stiffen.

"Kill the Evil God? Is that even possible?" Leon complained helplessly.

If the only way to eradicate all the monsters was to kill the Evil God, he would have to retreat with his army and return when fully prepared to defeat him.

However, by then, the Desert of Chaos—and perhaps even all the cities within the human and Demon territories—might already be overrun by the monsters.

"Is there no other way, Miranda?" Leon inquired, his voice tinged with hope.

Miranda hesitated, as if deep in thought. After a moment, her soft, delicate voice echoed in Leon's mind. "There is one more way, but you can't do it alone."

"Valen, attack the left flank. I'll handle the right," Luna commanded, her tone indifferent.

She drew the bowstring, and a blue arrow imbued with an icy aura materialized. With a swift motion, she released it, sending it hurtling toward the monsters.

*Whoosh!*

The arrow struck them all in one shot, freezing them instantly into ice sculptures. Cracks appeared on their frozen forms, and they shattered into pieces moments later.

On the left, Valen wiped out ten monsters with a single strike.

"

Tsk!

Pathetic," Valen sneered, his smile cold.

He swiftly rejoined Luna, standing beside her.

"Can you explain what's going on here?" he asked, surveying the battlefield now engulfed in chaos.

Originally, this battlefield was meant to be a place where the armies of humanity and the Demon race clashed. But now, it has become a battleground where humans and demons fight against strange monsters of unknown origin.

Luna's expression darkened at his question. She quickly explained, "Actually..."

A moment later, she finished, leaving Valen's face solemn.

"So, these monsters appeared just as the Demon Emperor was about to kill you, Jim, and Guren? And then, the Demon Emperor decided to eradicate them to prevent them from spreading to nearby towns?" Valen asked, his tone laced with skepticism.

He still found it hard to believe what Luna had just explained—particularly the part about the Demon Emperor ordering his army to fight the monsters to protect the nearby towns.

After all, those towns were inhabited by humans, and the Demon Emperor had no reason to care about their safety.

"It's hard to believe, I know," Luna replied with a soft sigh. "But that's the truth."

Like Valen, she initially questioned if she had misunderstood. But soon, she realized she hadn't—the Demon Emperor had truly said that.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared before them and quickly morphed into a man—Leon himself.

Luna and Valen were taken aback by his sudden appearance, instinctively adopting fighting stances, prepared for anything.

"What do you want? Are you here to fight us?" Valen asked icily, unsheathing the Soaring Dragon Holy Spear.

Leon glanced at Valen, whose body was still marked with the wounds from the earlier attack, and shook his head.

"I don't want to fight you. I need your help," Leon said flatly.

"Need our help?" Valen and Luna exchanged surprised glances.

Leon nodded, then explained, "As you've seen, these monsters are endless. Every time one falls, two more emerge from the sand. However, I know a way to stop them—but it will require your help, or more precisely, your holy weapons."

Luna and Valen were deeply shocked by Leon's explanation. They already knew the monsters they faced were unnervingly strange, their numbers seemingly endless.

Continuing the battle this way would only hasten the exhaustion of both them and the human army.

Even so, they remained skeptical of his claim—especially Valen, whose piercing gaze betrayed a deep hostility he struggled to conceal.

"Why should we trust you?" Valen asked in an indifferent tone.

After his humiliating defeat at Leon's hands earlier, combined with Leon's status as the Demon Emperor, Valen hated him to the core.

Despite Valen's condescending attitude, Leon remained calm, resisting the urge to strike him.

"I understand that this may be hard to believe, but I'm not here to joke. My troops are fighting those monsters, and I wouldn't risk their lives just to make a fool of you," Leon replied evenly.

Leon's reasonable words left Valen speechless, unable to counter. Just as Valen was about to speak, Luna raised her right hand to stop him.

"Alright, we agree to cooperate with you," Luna said suddenly, stunning Valen into silence.

He stared at her, disbelief written across his face. "Luna, how can you just agree to cooperate with him?"

Luna's expression remained flat as she shook her head. "Then tell me, how do you plan to solve the problem with these monsters?"

Valen opened his mouth but immediately closed it. He had no solution to offer.

But the thought of cooperating with a Demon—especially a Demon Emperor—made him deeply uncomfortable.

Luna glanced at the silent Valen, a slight smile lingering on her lips, before turning her gaze to Leon.

"Can you explain how we solve this? And what do you mean by needing help from our holy weapons?" Luna asked casually.

Leon nodded slightly and replied, "In short, my plan is to seal away all the monsters. I have the method, but I'll need your holy weapons to make it work."

Aside from directly defeating the Evil God, sealing the monsters was the only way to resolve the crisis they now faced—this was what Miranda had told him earlier.

Luna rubbed her chin as if deep in thought. After a moment, she snapped back to reality and nodded with firm resolve.

"Alright, let's do it," Luna said, determination in her voice.

"How is Sword Hero Guren's condition, Rain?" Jim asked, his voice filled with worry as he watched Rain attempt to heal Guren.

Rain's expression was grim as she slowly withdrew her hand from Guren's chest, the wound still severe.

"I'm sorry, Jim. Unfortunately, I can't heal him. The wounds Marquis Guren sustained are fatal, and my healing magic isn't working," Rain said, shaking her head.

Jim sighed helplessly, his hands clenched into tight fists.

"This is all my fault. I underestimated that Demon Emperor, and now look where we are," Jim muttered through gritted teeth.

Rain was taken aback by Jim's expression—so unlike his usual confident demeanor.

"Arghh!"

Suddenly, a monster lunged at Jim from behind.

Rain raised her magic staff, but before she could act, the monster's head was severed in an instant.

A moment later, a beautiful woman—none other than Natasya—approached them, her sword dripping with black blood.

"Is Marquis Guren unable to be healed?" Natasya asked.

Rain shook her head. "The wounds are fatal, and there's a strange force eating away at his body, preventing my magic from working."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Natasya narrowed her eyes and glanced at Jim, whose expression was crumpled with distress.

She opened her mouth as if to offer comforting words, but then thought better of it and swallowed them.

"Jim, are we still set on fighting these monsters?" Rain asked.

Jim took a slow breath to steady himself and nodded. "Yes, we need to clear all these monsters first. As absurd as it sounds, please instruct our army not to engage the Demon army."

Rain and Natasya nodded in understanding. Though they were hostile toward the Demon army, the current situation required them to cooperate.

Just then, the sound of footsteps reached their ears, and Luna's figure appeared before them.

She met their gazes with a calm expression and said, "Prime Minister Jim, I know how to solve the problem of these monsters, and I need your help."

Jim, Rain, and Natasya were taken aback by Luna's directness.

"You know a way to solve it? Can you tell me how?" Jim asked, his tone serious.

Luna shook her head. "I don't know the details, as it wasn't me who discovered it—but the Demon Emperor did."

At the mention of the "Demon Emperor," their expressions shifted, and they became instantly alert.

"Demon Emperor? Bow Hero Luna, are you...?" Natasya stared at her intently, but Luna's expression remained composed.

"You don't need to worry. Valen and I have learned a bit about his plan, and it's truly the only way to stop these endless monsters," Luna explained.

Natasya and Rain remained silent, turning to Jim to make the decision.

Jim narrowed his eyes, as if weighing his options before giving a slight nod.

"Alright, I agree. But make sure the Demon Emperor doesn't try anything underhanded. If he does, it could be very dangerous for us," Jim said cautiously.

"Of course," Luna replied confidently.

Jim folded his arms across his chest and spoke calmly, "Then tell me what kind of help is needed."
