CH 83

: Binding (3)

Sears stroked the sleeping daughter's hair and looked out the window as the darkness lifted.

I couldn't sleep, but I couldn't sleep.

My heart was still beating painfully, and disturbing thoughts clung to my head.

Her beautiful appearance faded during the dawn, and dark shadows were formed under her eyes.

"Jamie."

her son, who is still young.

I heard that Jamie had returned from Myrine Woods with Beiryl.

Overjoyed, the soldier who brought the news told them that Beiryl, Jamie, and Marquis Bell had left immediately to rescue the goddess's messenger from peril.

Her son is headed to a dangerous place again.

"Why are you ."

She grabbed her skirt.

It's not a place for children to go. All you have to do is sleep peacefully next to your parents. until everything goes smoothly.

"God, please ."

Sears placed her hands on her head and pleaded earnestly to her god.

"Please return my child safely."

The most lovable and cherished alter ego of himself. If something big happened to Jamie, it didn't seem like he would be able to survive in the world.

"I will never scold you even if you come back, so please stay safe . Please, please."

That was then.

Light started streaming in from outside the window.

Did the direction of the rising sun coincide with the direction in which she sat?

Sears covered her eyes with her hand and looked out the window.

'It's not sunlight.'

The sunlight was too strong.

After a while, the light gradually faded.

Sears rubbed his hazy eyes and looked ahead.

Someone was standing It was a woman wearing a familiar dress.

who please?

A woman who appeared with the light.

Sears had a gut feeling that she was unusual.

However, his face was still difficult to see due to the blurry vision.

a woman came

Sears flinched slightly, but there was no feeling of hostility in her.

just follow it

The approaching footsteps, the hand towards Sarah's head.

The hand that gently stroked the sleeping Sarah was trying to keep the child from waking up, so she was very careful.

Sears felt his hand familiar.

'Childhood.'

I remember sleeping on someone's lap under the shade of a large tree on a sunny day.

A pleasant touch that gently sweeps the forehead and hair.

The dress she was wearing at that time was a blue dress embroidered with pretty spring flowers.

Just like the dress the woman in front of you is wearing right now.

Sears' eyes trembled. He lifted his head and looked at the woman's face.

My vision was no longer blurry. The woman who looked at Sarah with a happy smile now turned to her daughter.

Mom.

Sears jumped up from his seat.

A young and beautiful mother who passed away from a chronic disease when she was young.

She caressed her daughter's cheek and opened her mouth.

He couldn't hear her, but he seemed to understand what she was saying.

- Everything is fine. So don't worry.

At the same time, it was scattered into the air with the light.

Sears stared blankly at the scene, but his legs became weak and he fell to the floor.

Then he started crying like a child.

Sara woke up to the sound of her mother crying, and cried with Sears in her arms.

It was the moment that coincided with the moment when everything was over.

* * *

Jamie stood still for a moment, slowly opening her eyes.

'What happened?'

The last scene he remembered before he lost consciousness was Sable, who had shunned Lars and raised his sword to kill him.

'Where did Sable go?'

was not visible

Seeing that he was still alive, it seemed that something had happened.

Or maybe this is the afterlife.

'The whole forest wasn't moved to the afterlife, and that's nonsense.'

Jamie was in the same place he was before he lost consciousness.

My heart was still beating.

Once I got up from my seat, I decided to look around.

I don't know how long I've been doing this, but my body aches all over.

"Are you awake?"

Then, Lars appeared from the bushes.

"Where have you been?"

"I came to search the area to see if he had run away, but I can't find it anywhere. What happened to that?"

Yeah? How is it going?"

"You don't remember?"

Lars asked, squinting one eye, but Jamie's expression was unsure of what he was talking about.

"Is it short-term amnesia?"

"What happened?"

"A great light came from you."

light?

What is the large joint light?

All he had to do was squeeze out all his power to create the spear of the last thunderbolt and blow it away.

After that, I couldn't lift a finger and waited for death.

"It was a huge light that covered the entire forest, but after the light disappeared, Sable disappeared. I was searching the forest to see if he had escaped with even a fatal wound."

" ."

"It's strange when you think about it. It was a very warm light. Never likely to harm anyone... ."

Hearing that, I immediately remembered.

The moment Sable fired his sword to kill himself, a light burst out of the necklace.

After that, someone appeared, but I can't remember exactly.

Jamie hurriedly pulled out the necklace.

The blue jewel on the necklace had turned gray.

Jamie narrowed her eyes.

What is it?

Jamie couldn't answer Lars' question for a while.

This necklace did something.

I don't know exactly what it is, but the important thing is that it saved his life.

'He helped me.'

It became as Marquis Bell said.

What exactly is this necklace that made it possible to survive from the Sword Master?

Where has Sable gone?

Hey. Jamie?"

Ah yes. Ah. Think about something else for a second... ."

"But where did he go?"

Lars also had a face that he did not understand.

"There was no way he was dead."

Sable was a sword master of considerable skill and a monster that even handled the divinity of Zenith at the level of an Archbishop.

I did not think that such a guy would have been removed with the power of the necklace alone.

It would have been nice to know the material of the blue jewel, but it seemed impossible to know since the necklace had lost its power.

I decided to ask the Marquis as soon as I got back.

"Let's go too. I don't think he'll show up any more.

"Let's do it. But where did the others go?"

While Sable was blocking Gremia's beam, Jamie teleported to everyone except Lars.

"A safe place to be found."

"Where is it?"

"It's faster to go right away than to come up with an explanation. It's not that far away."

Jamie grabbed Lars and teleported.

* * *

that time-

The scorching sun that seemed to ripen the skin and the long stretch of golden land.

Sable frowned as he looked at the vast expanse of the desert.

"Hey, where the hell are you!"

A little while ago, he had been in a forest built on top of a high cliff.

And he was wielding a sword to kill Jamie.

But when I came to my senses, it was here.

Are you dreaming right now?

For some reason, I thought that if it was Jamie, I could put myself to sleep at that moment.

However, it soon came to the conclusion that it was absurd.

The little boy who had exhausted all his powers wasn't even an archmage, how did he do such a thing against himself?

But does the situation make sense now?

It's a desert in a forest. Who can accept the fact that he has traveled an unfathomable distance in the blink of an eye!

" ."

I've been living here for over 50 years, but this is the first time this has happened.

A long time ago, a wizard may have hidden warp magic somewhere in the forest.

" it's a desert desert.

The continent where humans live is divided into five zones.

Central Continent ; Haron , Eastern Continent ; Kariren , Western Continent ; Arisha , Northern Continent ; Olvia , Southern Continent ; Brion .

The desert existed only in ; Brion .

The kingdom of Seldam where Apton was located was located to the north of Olvia.

In other words, he who was at the northernmost point was moved to the south of the continent.

It was more than 10,000 km at an estimated distance, so my mind was dizzy.

this this ."

Sable looked at his trembling hands and raised his voice in an evil way.

"Oh my god, ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The Sword Master's roar shook the entire desert.

So much anger erupted.

It was an opportunity to end it all.

There was no means left for them to resist, and if they all were killed, the Pyro would naturally self-destruct.

It would not happen that the Zenith Church would be in trouble.

But everything went wrong.

He still didn't know what had happened to him, but one thing was certain.

"You have to go back. I have to go back!!"

The longer the absence, the worse the situation at Zenith.

It's not because of the contract with the demons.

It didn't matter that much in the rapidly changing world of the future.

A great war centered around the Zenith Church.

In the battlefield surrounding world supremacy, demons are only minor occasions.

Most of the preparations have already been completed, and the alliance has been firmly established.

It was planned to start with the Pyro Church.

However, he was moved to the other side of the continent by an unknown force.

'There is no way the war will run properly without me.'

Sable was the head of the Seven Knights, the sword master, and the archbishop of the Zenith Church.

It was on an equal footing with the Pope, and it was not enough to call it a one-man corps by force alone.

And it was the center of the upcoming holy war.

If such a center disappears, can a proper war be waged?

Even if the first surprise was successful, it would be a different story if the superhumans of the enemy camp entered the war.

There are superhumans on the side of the allies as well, but it is impossible to expect a level comparable to that of Sable.

In the end, it would be repeatedly defeated in terms of quality.

This was the result of running the denomination's war simulation, so it could not be denied.

'If we postpone the war... .'

impossible.

When the contract with the demons becomes known, many forces will come to investigate.

The Zenith Church, which was under intense political pressure, eventually resorted to the means of "war" and almost caused a crusade.

as originally planned.

"I don't have time for this."

I had to get out of the desert.

As if walking on plain ground, Sable began to run rapidly over the immersive sand.

'War is also war, but it is also important to quickly and sneak out of the southern continent.'

The strongest denomination that has ruled the southern continent ; Brion alone for thousands of years.

Their power was strong enough to be recognized by Sable, who had brought 'Ra', the god of gods, symbolizing the sun and light.

And now, it was also a denomination that had a bad relationship with the Zenith Church.

'If you get caught by them, it will be difficult.'

If you find out that you are here, the terrible monster will appear in front of you.

Although he overpowered even Beiril, the same sword master, he never wanted to face Ra's monster.

It will not be too late to face each other after completely occupying the north and the center.

'How did I ever become like this !'

Jamie.

I will never forget that dastardly little boy.

Sable made that determination and accelerated.
