New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!



Zenith immediately worked and opened a portal for Leon and Grandpa Andi to escape from Lord Raven's attacking range. 

"Master!" Randel who was still occupied with Rachana could not help but be worried. 

He and Leon were not only the people shaken by the sudden turn of events, even Kazimir and Antoine, the vice captains and the rest of the soldiers were also stunned and worried. 

"Get a grip of yourselves! Do not get distracted!!!" But just as they were about to succumb to the spiral of distress, Grandpa Reuben's stern voice rang in the entire battlefield, jolting everyone awake from their senses. 

Grandpa Reuben's eyes swept over the field with his eyes bloodshot and his body trembling, "You get distracted your life would be gone! Once our lives crumble here, then our world is no more! Do you understand?!" 

"... y-yes Grandmaster…" Leon lowered his head, as he stared at Grandpa Andi's body. 

His head was ringing as he could no longer think straight. 

"... Young Prince, g–get a grip… this old man would not die with just this injury… Remember, Little Han and the young generation's lives are at stake at this moment…" Grandpa Andi, who was breathing heavily with red blood flowing out of his mouth spoke with struggle.

"But this injury…" He looked at Grandpa Andi's body. 

His limbs, from his shoulders, down to his hands were long and no longer to be seen, his ears were also torn apart. 

As he rushed to rescue the distracted Leon, He jumped and used his dwarven body, which is only three-fourths of Leon's height to stop Lord Raven. 

At first, he used his war hammer to block Lord Raven's hands from penetrating Leon's chest. But what could a mere lump of the hardest metal in the world do to someone who is not from this world?

And so the war hammer appeared to be like jelly in Lord Raven's eyes as it continued to penetrate Leon. 

Grandpa Andi moved fast and used both of his hands to stop Lord Raven's attack. 

He used all of his devourer's mana and hugged Lord Raven's hands with all his might. 

Stopping it with all his strength, his limbs were torn, separating them from his body. Because of that, his body which now does not have any limbs could only freefall Leon's side following the momentum of Lord Raven's attack. 

Luckily, at that moment, Zenith was able to pull Leon and Grandpa Andi away from Lord Raven's attacking range, leaving him stabbing an empty space and with the great grandmaster's hands clinging desperately to his arm. 

With that, Grandpa Andi was totally incapacitated, unable to wield his weapon in the fight. 

"It's because of me…" Leon was devastated. Leon's lips trembled as his eyes reddened in tears. "H-how could this be…" 

A great wave of guilt and self-blame swelled in his heart, it was so painful that he wanted to dig out his heart to stop himself from ever feeling the pain once more. 

He knew how much Eli adored Grandpa Andi, he was the first person whom Eli befriended when she descended in Prasinos. 

He was also the one who took her in genuinely and treated her like a real granddaughter. As he lived with Eli, he too also had the same affection as hers. 

He had long treated him the same as his late grandfather and respected him from the bottom of his heart. 

But now, he was in this state because of him. 

Very soon, droplets of tears flowed from his crystal blue eyes as it fell on Grandpa Andi's bloody aged face. 

"Young man… I tell you… to get a grip… You can't stay like that…" Grandpa Andi looked at Leon without any blame as he flashed a weak smile. If he had limbs at the moment, he could have stretched out his hands and wiped the Prince's tears. 

Alas, he couldn't…

He knew his body well, with this severe damage and so much blood loss, even if there was a lot of mana around, he could no longer recover. Even if a miracle happened, he could only leave without his arms. 

"I…" Leon was still trembling, he was losing his strength as he felt that the burden he was holding was too much for him to bear. 

"GET YOURSELF TOGETHER LEON!" Kayden, whose eyes were equally red and tearful at the moment shouted with all his might. 

He knew what Leon was feeling, but they could not really afford for him to break his spirit as well. 

With his angry shout, Leon seemed to have come back to his senses and looked around. 

"What should I do?" He mumbled helplessly. 

In front of him was the enemy watching him make a fool of himself. Behind him were the people who were still fighting desperately for everyone's survival.

"Third Prince, would you let the Grandmaster down here? I'll take care of him." Yelena, who was still carefully guarding and healing Eli also called Leon's attention. 

Leon looked at Yelena and Eli, then at Grandmaster Andi who also gave him an affirming gaze. 

In the end, he personally went down and placed Grandmaster Andi on Yelena's side. Cornelius also tried to escape to go to Yelena's side to see Grandpa Andi's situation.

The blood loss made Grandpa Andi's complexion pale and his gaze was slowly fading away. 

"We'll do our best, Third Prince. You should go back." Cornelius gently patted Leon's shoulder trying to let him clear his muddled mind. 

Although Leon nodded, he was still in a daze when he went back to the battlefield. 

"Still going to face me after that?" Lord Raven raised his hand, which was carrying Grandpa Andi's severed hands like it was his trophy. 

Everyone's eyes became bloodshot. Deep anger and humiliation sprang up to their hearts as they saw how the enemy treated Grandpa Andi's hands like it was a plaything!

Those hands were not only capable of protecting hundreds of lives in Prasinos all these years, but it was also the same hands who crafted and designed a lot of marvelous things that made the people of Prasinos thrive and progress in living!

Magical tools and weapons, simple machinery, carriages, and many more. They were all designed and invented by those hands. 

Now someone in front of them was treating it like it was a prize. Such disrespect made their hearts burn with anger and indignance. 

Unfortunately, Lord Raven did not seem to take their anger seriously. After all, the grandmasters and even the Third Prince could not even do anything to him. 

"What, angry now? Hahaha! Come and try to speed up your deaths already. I am really getting bored as you can see." Lord Raven lazily threw Grandpa Andi's hands away not even looking where it would drop. 

Randel's eyes flashed quickly and hurried to catch the hands, he would never allow it to be thrown like that disgracefully. 

Fortunately, Lord Raven did not notice him as Grand Master Reuben also took that time to distract him with his attacks. 

Leon also sprang up in the action as he could no longer bear to do the same mistakes again. 

While he was fighting, he was praying. 

"Heavens, could there really be no change for us to save our land from the hands of the evil one?" 

"Could there be really no hope for us to defeat the enemy before us?"

"If so, why give this strength in the first place? If it could not protect lives at the crucial moment?" 

"Why did you give me the power so overwhelming for other people, yet utterly useless to this evil one in front of me?" 

This was the question he was asking as he talked to the heavens in pleading. Leon smiled bitterly, it seems that he really was destined to fail at this moment. 

He stared at the skies for a while and his heart uttered, 

"Oh, Great Creator… 

It does not matter to me if I was not the hero destined to overcome this moment. 

I know that you will not allow your people to perish…

And so I confess my complete trust in you, even if it means that I fall at the moment. 

For I know you will bring forth someone to defeat this enemy in front of me!"

As soon as he uttered this prayer, the skies suddenly changed. 

Though it was daytime, the purple aura of evil had long enveloped the skies during these seven days. 

But this time, everyone saw that the clouds seemed to have parted above where they all stood, clearing the ominous purple gloom.

Rumble!!!

The next moment, the clouds and the sky suddenly roared as a shot of bright light immediately came down.

"Heavens!" The entire army was so shocked that they almost dropped their weapons on the ground. 

Lord Raven's face changed, "Oh… so you've decided to intervene? You really cannot take away your love for these puny creations if yours are you, Overseer?" 

He looked at the skies and talked as if he knew who had caused such commotions. 

"Are you going to finally go this time and deal with one of your 'unruly' subordinates?" He asked without an ounce of respect.
