After the dragon of the apocalypse disappeared.
The world was destroyed every day.
The ground was torn, the sea dried up, and all kinds of genius conditions and unusual climates constantly tormented people.
The population has declined rapidly.
In this cursed land, no new life was conceived, and no fruit was borne even by farming.
T r anslate d b y jpmt l .co m People worshiped the dragon of life Ertera to survive.
I built a temple for her, offered sacrifices on the altar, and prayed endlessly.
Help me.
Please, just save my life.
Ertera is willing to respond to their wishes.
He restored the animals and vegetables who were dying in a certain area around his temple.
“Reset.”
T r a n s lated b y jp mtl .com Paaaaaah!
Then, the tree that no longer bears fruit, and grass sprouted on the parched ground.
Even the dead animals showed up again.
It was a true miracle.
Since no new life was born, we have turned time back and restored a certain region to the time of life.
“Ah! The Dragon of Life! ”
“Thank you! Hertesea, Dragon of Life! ”
In her favor, people were greatly pleased and hurried to harvest their food.
It looked like the origin of the dungeon, so the rabbit felt a bit strange.
[No way...... I never thought all the dungeons and ruins I knew were for Hertia.]
The rabbit grunts by himself whenever he gets a chance.
[Ehhh. I don't know if the past has changed or if it was like this before.]
Erthea looked at the rabbit with a small smile.
“Rabbit, what does it matter? The important thing is that Uncle saved my life. ”
[And we can't remember how.]
Tra n sl ated by jpm tl.co m “Yes, but thanks to him, it's still in my heart. That's it. So let's make the most of this moment. No, a living man. ”
[…… makes it okay to talk like that. And don't smile like that. If you smile with the face of a dragon, you look like a hungry monster.]
“ ……. ”
Erthea is a little hurt.
The rabbit, who looked scared of that face again, suddenly turned around.
[Hmmm. But isn't it forbidden to reset? Is it okay to use it this often?]
“Yeah, I'm fine. The power I use is not against taboos, it's a bit of a beating. Ironically, I'm not very good at it. ”
The magic of the forbidden spell that brought him back from the dead to take possession of the body of Emperor Ba Boon was also written in the Book of Life.
However, the book of life, which is at an extreme disadvantage, could not be used in its perfect form.
“My ‘reset’ is just a level that uses life energy to recreate a region. This feels like a time lapse, too, but it's a little hazy. ”
[It's not illegal, it's illegal. Efficiency's a bitch.]
The rabbit kicked his tongue.
In the end, it was like the muscles were eating and living by recycling the remaining life energy in the world.
[It's like dying of metallurgy while saving as much food as possible. We have to do something.]
“Yeah. That's why we're working on it. There's got to be a way. There's no telling how to die. This is the lesson you left me. ”
Erthea insists. Tra n s lat e d b y jpm t l.com
Yes, it is.
The ultimate hope that ‘he’ left behind, who had always found a way to live joyfully and chattering in despair... ….
The rabbit bursts out a smile.
[It's the past. But he's not even born yet. Doesn't that make him look like he's dead? Alpha?]
“What? Don't stare without a reason. ”
[…….]
When the rabbit looks at himself, Alpha decisively refuses the rabbit's attention.
That rabbit doll was a strange creature.
Even though the doll spoke and flew around, I was still reluctant to pretend to be close to myself.
Moreover, I didn't like being around Erstea's official apostle all the time.
“Something very suspicious. I'll never let my guard down because I've been deceived by the look of a fool. ”
[, I think I made a mistake.]
“It wasn't a mistake. ”
[…… Aha?]
Tr anslat e d b y jpmt l .co m Ertera bursts into laughter.
“You two don't seem to be getting along. ”
“I'm sorry, Hertia. ”
Alpha reported to Erstea the progress of the hunt, ignoring the rabbit thoroughly.
“Again, most of them were lost when the witches suddenly disappeared. But now that I've found the trail, I will definitely find it and destroy it. ”
[Whoa. Take it easy. We have to get along well with each other.]
“ ……. ”
The rabbit flirts with the Alpha plant again, but the Alpha does not pretend to have heard.
After the battle with the dragons of the Apocalypse, strange beings began to roam the world.
White hair.
A expressionless face.
People who look like Humans, but are not like Humans.
People were afraid to call them "witches."
And they were born during the battle with the dragons of the Apocalypse.
Forest tribes and Doppelgängers born of Ertera.
They were completely separate beings who inherited all of the host's memories and abilities, but did not inherit personality and self.
In the beginning, 'personality’ was an expression that mattered to humans and was not suitable for them.
Doppelgängers, who were born as something other than humans, have participated in the battle against the dragons of the Apocalypse.
However, after surviving close to the end of the battle, I suddenly realized that their life span was only a day.
The moment they realized it, they instinctively began to put into practice a way to extend their lifespan.
Murder.
To be precise, finding and killing a human with Maple eggs was the only way to extend its lifespan.
‘Killing one person increases the life span of a day. ’
‘I don't know who Maple's egg is attached to, so I'll just have to kill him.' ’
‘So it's efficient to kill the weak first. ’
The Doppelgängers infiltrate the people in the forest in the form of the forest tribes and Ertera.
From then on, silent disasters began for those who struggled in the world that had been destroyed.
[Tsk, tsk. Solia probably didn't expect this either. I created the Doppelgängers to stop the apocalypse, but I can't believe the demons are turning the whole world into a shambles.]
When the rabbit kicked his tongue and looked at Alpha, I remembered the slightly bitter expression on the face of Alpha, who was from the same ‘witch’.
“Doppelgängers are not demons. Just like humans eat livestock to survive, Doppelgängers only kill humans to live. ”
Doppelgängers are not mortals, they are mere mortals.
Since they weren't the same race in the first place, they didn't hesitate to kill humans at all.
From a very human point of view, of course, they were just psychopathic serial killers.
And the Alpha standing here has been the same for the last few years.
Alpha said:
“When I was a witch, I also killed a lot of people. But there's no guilt about that. It is the same for humans to wage wars and kill in order to survive. ”
The alpha rises, his head bowing politely to Erstea.
“And if I had just committed myself to Erstea, I would not have killed her if I had known sooner that my life would be resolved." ”
Alpha was no less proud that he was an apostle of Erthea.
Doppelgänger's lifespan changes indefinitely as soon as he becomes the Dragon Apostle.
As long as Ertera shares the energy of life, he can live forever.
At first, neither Ertera nor the Doppelgängers were aware of this.
But a few years later, now everyone knows.
“That's why I know this clearly and cannot understand and forgive witches who refuse to become apostles. They're just homicidal maniacs. ”
[Patriotism sucks. She hates witches because she's from Witches.]
“So again... ”
Hmph.
The habitually stubborn rabbit had to keep his mouth shut to the gaze of Alpha looking at him.
“Don't call me a witch. This is your final warning."
[Yep. Maybe I'll call you Alpha...]
“Slurp.”
[Yep.]
The rabbit replies coldly and hides behind Ertera.
Erthea smiles awkwardly and turns back the mood.
“Alpha, what was the sign that you found it this time? ”
“Yes. I'll report it. It looks like the witches are building a hideout underground and living there. ”
The rabbit popped out suddenly and gave a strange color.
[Wow, you're making it sound like you've realized it all by yourself. I told you to keep digging! There's got to be a witch's house somewhere in the ground!]
“…… as the rabbit advised. I'll admit it.”
[Ahem. Of course.]
Alpha had to admit it this time.
Had I not listened to the advice of the rabbit beforehand, I would not have been able to imagine myself.
“I didn't think witches would build a hideout in the ground. And on top of that, it was like releasing chimeric Treants to collect materials for weapons and magic reagents. ”
[That's what I already told you.]
“So do you have a location? ”
To Erthea's question, Alpha bows his head.
“Found it. If you could just let me lead all the apostles.... ”
“No, I'm coming with you this time. ”
Erthea raises her head and spreads her golden wings as she cuts off Alpha's horse.
The alpha and rabbit looked surprised at her actions.
[You're going yourself?]
“Yes, I want to see it for myself. ”
Erthea was curious.
“No, I need to see. Why the children who inherited my memory are killing people. ”
[Hmm. You should know that by now. I think I already know.]
The rabbit shrugs and follows Ertera.
That's why you kill people. Half the Doppelgängers must have inherited Erthea's memory of being abandoned and criticized by everyone in the world, but their personality is different. Then it's not ruined?]
The alpha was also positive.
“All I have to think about is that anger. So we learned how to seal some of the memories ourselves. To avoid being consumed by other people's memories. ”
[Hoho? Even the nobles live a hard life...]
“Slurp.”
[Yep.]
They arrive at the hidden area of the Witch's house in no time.
Whew.
The natural disaster caused the rabbit to burst into amazement on a snowy mountain covered in pure white snow.
[Oh, there you are. I was always walking around the gate, and I didn't know how to get there. If so, I'm sure by now!]
The rabbit swiftly roams around, finding a small slate engraved with magic bars and bragging.
[Bam! I found Keystone here! With this, you can teleport into your home!]
“I knew there was nothing our rabbit didn't know. ”
[Ahem. I'm pretty good at this.]
“Then... let's go in. ”
Paaaaaah!
Ertera's determined gaze grows smaller and smaller as her enormous body is engulfed in light.
Reduced size to enter the witch's house.
But... it got too small.
The rabbit hugs Ertera, who has become smaller than itself.
[Wow, isn't it too small? You think you can fight because you're so cute? But don't worry. Whoever shows up, this bunny's gonna fix everything!]
“Rabbit, I'm not here to fight. I'm here to make amends. Be my apostle. ”
Ertera, a mini-sized dragon of life, makes a resolute expression on the rabbit's back.
Chuck.
At that moment, Alpha steps forward with his weapon and flashes.
Her white hair is blown away by the icy snowstorm.
“Erthea doesn't have to do this alone. If you don't want to be an apostle, waiting for them will only be death. ”
[Ah, Miss Alpha. My sister's force is a little...]
“Slurp.”
[Yep.]
Without hesitation, they use the Keystone to enter the witch's house.
And I met him shortly.
The existence of darkness that was brushing hard at the end of the cold corridor.
[Who dares to invade your home?!]
A servant of the witches.
King of the Ice Gremlins.
Rich Bahamut unleashes ferocity on the intruders.
As soon as I saw him, the rabbit smiled.
[I finally found it. My snowman.]
A smile I haven't seen in years.
I warned the Alpha who was spinning the weapon.
[Alpha, don't ever touch that Reach. I have to stay alive and tell him what I said.]
“What are you talking about? ”
[I'm here.]
Yeah, it is.
I'm still here.
Find me.
The rabbit smiles brightly at the Bahamut.
