CH 181

: the owner of the vacancy (2)

Siegfried stood in the wilderness.

Winter's wind blows from the dry land.

I just stood there for a moment, but I felt my lips tingle and my skin cracking.

Did such a rough land exist in the world?

It did not rain from the dark sky, but the occasional thunderstorm hinted at various ominous things.

'This is the memory of Confucius Jamie.'

A black army rushes into the winter wilderness where there is nothing.

From a distance, it was impossible to estimate its size.

But the closer I got, the bigger the earthquake was coming from.

It wasn't as big as a huge one around it, but a bunch of big and small things were coming towards this land.

Some are in the form of beasts, some are skeletons, some are half-rotted corpses, and others are knights who scatter darkness in black armor.

Siegfried opened his mouth slightly, unable to show any reaction.

'What are those !'

The closer you get, the more you feel it.

It was impossible to measure the strength of that huge army by its own level.

Even the Demon Dragon I had seen three days ago felt ordinary there.

Each object overwhelms itself.

A force that would have unified the continent if it had existed in this world.

Numerous undead and beasts with transcendent powers.

Siegfried knew the energy he felt in them.

'The black mana of Jamie Confucius is evident.'

That gigantic boom is Jamie Welton's.

But Jamie was nowhere to be seen.

'No. Since you said you were a reincarnation, the figure before reincarnation is obvious... .'

Siegfried raised his eyebrows and tried to find the real name of Diablo Volfir, Jamie, in his previous life.

But it was nowhere to be seen.

After all, finding a small animal like a human in such a crowded place was no different than finding a needle in the desert.

Then, the sky flashed once! Thousands of lightning bolts struck the ground.

Awkward Lalala!!

Siegfried flinched and looked up at the sky.

The black sky cleared and light poured in.

From there, a heavenly army with its pure white wings was coming down armed.

I couldn't open my eyes properly to the dazzling halo.

Even though it wasn't real, Siegfried didn't know how to deal with this situation.

'God's army.'

A large golden carriage descending surrounded by the heavenly army caught my eye.

A carriage pulled by four beautiful white horses, Pegasus, ran leisurely through the sky.

And someone stepped out of the wagon that stopped slowly in mid-air. It was a man with long indigo hair hanging down and wearing a navy blue toga.

It was just a memory, but Siegfried had a hard time even standing upright.

"Diablo Volfir!"

the man shouted

There was a strong power in his voice, and it felt like his soul would drain just by hearing it.

The man continued to speak.

"You bastard. You guys were defeated once. If I had managed to survive, I would be buried somewhere deep and dark, where I would hide until I die, with what guts did you appear before me!"

The black army stopped at the man's words.

In contrast to the sanctity of the heavenly armies, the gloom grows ever greater.

And a man appeared above the head of the great beast.

As soon as I saw it, I knew it was Diablo Volfir.

He couldn't see it from afar, but he was wearing a purple robe on his black hair, and he was holding a staff with strong magical powers in his hand.

Diablo Volfir, a man who was not unusual even by pretending, answered the man.

I.

A purple-black mana erupted around Diablo Volfir.

"I have returned to restore human dignity from you."

At that, Janice laughed.

bagatelle. Only when you struggle will the fate of man be decided."

"Human fate is not so trivial that a fake like you decides."

"Heh heh heh! How pitiful you are, Diablo Volfir. A man who once claimed to be the head of humankind has been abandoned by his own people, yet he still longs for the future of mankind! They are garbage! Bugs who don't even know grace! It's just a pest that needs to be cleaned up! And yet you are for them!"

"I understand their position."

Diablo Volfir floated into the air.

The morale that was rising in the dark army grew bigger and bigger, and it began to threaten the heavenly army.

Janice was also a bit confused, as if she had not expected such a situation.

Siegfried swallowed dry saliva and watched the two forces.

"So I ."

Diablo Volfir lifted his staff upwards.

"I'm just fighting with you guys. For our, human future. So die, Janice."

The darkness exploded.

"Cut off his limbs and command him before me!"

Zenith ordered, and the heavenly army rushed.

Diablo Volfir did not command the army.

He was only moving toward the heavenly army alone, with a purple glare in his eyes.

The army of darkness followed the master silently.

not recorded in history.

The prelude to the great war that took place in the distant past unfolded before Siegfried's eyes.

Great light and darkness intertwined, creating chaos.

The great chaos was hard to look straight at. Siegfried reached there. I'd like to watch some more. I want to check the outcome of the war.

But as if not to allow any more, Siegfried's body was moved somewhere.

"Here ."

the world is on fire

Twelve lights were floating in the sky, and the blood-stained Diablo Volfir was lying on the burning ground.

Twelve lights intertwined and besieged Diablo Volfir.

- It's over, Diablo Volfir.

I heard a neutral voice that I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.

Diablo, who fell on the floor, raised his head hard. Half of his face was covered in blood, but he was still smiling.

"Kukkuk. "Yeah, it ended up like this."

-Don't even think about messing around! Did I? you will eventually lose

Janice's angsty voice mocked Diablo.

Diablo laughed at him.

"How many times have you been hiding behind other gods and talking about a subject that almost killed me? You're ugly, Janice. Very ugly."

- You damn bastard!

- Get there.

As Janice was about to step out, the first voice interrupted her.

- Sheesh.

Perhaps because of the higher rank in the voice, Janice just licked her tongue.

Diablo bit Zenith like that and didn't let go.

"You are just Ra's hound. No, hounds are too much. Do you want a very small dog?"

- Shut up!

- Diablo, don't taunt me. Nothing changes as long as you are evil.

Blocking Zenith from raging again, the voice warned Diablo.

The other gods were silently watching the situation.

Diablo, with both hands on the ground, struggled to get up somehow.

However, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he could not stand his trembling arms and fell over.

- You fought well. Stop falling into a deep sleep.

The voice pierced him.

Diablo became a disgraceful face. He deserved sympathy from the enemy, and also from the foe he hated terribly.

The voice spoke again.

- I will seal you up.

Diablo laughed at that.

"I couldn't do anything alone, so even though they came in a group, they couldn't just kill me."

With dark flesh in his purple eyes, he stared at the 12 gods terribly.

OK. seal it up But when I wake up again!"

The warlock smiled even more sullenly, voicing out all his wrath, warning.

"Your dazzling light will die black, and you will not die in despair, but beg for death!"

The voice spoke up.

- don't expect

The light of the seal that started from the 12 gods struck Diablo Volfir.

No!

Siegfried instinctively reached out to block the light. However, it was impossible for him, who belongs to reality, to intervene in the scene in his memory.

Light covered the world, and Siegfried could not open his eyes, so he covered his face with his arms.

* * *

And.

"Elder."

Ah.

Siegfried returned to reality.

He paused for a moment, then stared into space.

After seeing such a shocking sight, he could not come to his senses even after returning to reality.

Did it really happen, the sight you just saw?

I saw Jamie.

A frail little child who cannot lift a single finger now.

In an instant, the face of Diablo Volfir, with dark hair and purple eyes, appeared overlaid with that little one.

"Did you come to see me?"

" Was that really Confucius?"

There was no doubt that he was manipulating his memories.

Jamie's memory was to bring something deep down to the surface.

It is impossible for even a master of mind-manipulating magic to interfere with deep memory.

'no. Diablo Volfir, it is possible with his ability.'

Although I only saw a part of it, the power he showed me was a huge shock to Siegfried.

In particular, the overwhelming power that was not pushed by the 12 gods was unbelievable that it was the same wizard.

How did such a powerful person exist in the world?

It was a shock just to face the 12 gods, but the presence of the 12 gods was rather buried because of the impression of Diablo Volfir.

But now Jamie is not Diablo Volfir. Comparing him to him was embarrassingly weak.

I don't know if it's right to say that he's weak for the 7th class archmage, but Siegfried was very disappointed with his power right now.

'I don't know when that was, but there were a lot of terribly strong ones.'

Aside from the heavenly army, the dark army led by Diablo.

Each individual consisted only of monsters equal to or greater than his own.

I still wondered if I was dreaming.

"It's not a dream."

Jamie read Siegfried's expression and said.

"It actually happened on this earth 66666 years before I was born."

"The year 66666 ?"

"A distant past that cannot be grasped. Even the myth era known in the world today was treated as a myth."

Jamie forced herself to stand up.

Confucius!

"It's okay, it's okay."

While Siegfried was wandering through his memories, he used divine power and black mana to make his body move to some extent.

All I had to do was sit with a thick pillow against the wall.

"Whoa."

After a short breath, Jamie spoke again.

"It is a memory of a time when mankind fell into slavery to the 12 gods."

"Humans were slaves?"

"It is not in the past tense. Humans are still slaves of the 12 gods. Human beings who have built up civilizations many times by the 12 gods and then destroyed them and improved them to their own taste."

"What There are people like me who do not follow God."

"But I do know that God exists. That alone is the nourishment for their divinity. Humans today are designed that way."

That was a shocking statement.

Siegfried couldn't believe it, but the boy in front of him was the only human who faced the 12 gods in his previous life.

"They exist to seek eternity in this world. Humans are slaves to achieve their goals. No, they are just cattle."

then But don't the 12 gods do much for those who believe in and follow them?"

"Humans also feed livestock."

It felt like being hit in the head with a hammer.

When Siegfried couldn't say anything, Jamie continued.

"Above all, humans are already under surveillance."

" From the Church?"

"It is not wrong either. Humans do not believe in humans, and accusing each other of their sins to their gods can also be called monitoring and checking. But what I am talking about is the monitoring of power."

"Surveillance of power?"

Dragon. The priests of the dragon god Brahman. Their existence is a race created for the purpose of monitoring humans."

Jamie said, looking at Siegfried with purple eyes.

"They are holding on to the human leash. The problem is that I don't know the period of vacancy right after I was sealed until the current civilization enters the continent."

"Are you referring to the world from 10,000 years ago?"

Yeah. They said there was a ban. The moment they try to find out that part, they are discovered by the keywords set by the 12 gods and the dragon is said to come out."

"Is that true?"

At that moment, Count Simon appeared through the soundproofing magic.

He looked at Jamie with trembling eyes and asked again.

"I asked if that was true."

It was something I had to tell Simon anyway.

Jamie nodded in reply.

"Humans are surrounded by a huge fence called the continent and live under the supervision of dragons. Humans are weak, so they simply do not notice the supervision of the transcendent race of dragons."

Already, some large countries are secretly interacting with dragons.

Words are exchanges, and it will be a one-way transaction.

However, since it is an undisclosed fact, I did not mention that part.

Jamie looked at Simon.

With his head bowed and his clenched fists trembling, he immediately began to laugh.

"Kuk. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!"

He wasn't his usual Simon.

He smiled bizarrely over and over again, and looked at Jamie with wide open eyes.

Also. We were not wrong either."

" our thoughts?"

Siegfried looked at Simon with a frown in one eye, and Simon looked at him with delight.

"Elder Siegfried. Apologize for not approaching you because it's still hard to believe. But, it's gotten better now."

He looked at Jamie.

"Jamie Wellton."

Please speak.

"I have people to introduce myself to."

" Introduction?"

okay. These are the people who want to make humans the masters of this absurd world. That includes me."

Did humans already have access to the truth of the world?

And We've been watching you ever since.

"Me?"

He said, pointing to Jamie with a confident face.

"A being who appeared to save mankind. That's you, Jamie Welton.
