Chapter 19: The Hunter's Readiness (1)
"Hey, inspiration? What are you talking about?"
Isis looked at the sinner and Jamie alternately with a bewildered look.
Guess the sinner couldn't hear her, he just looked at Jamie and said again.
"It's weird. His soul is still in the primordial darkness, how can you be here?"
" ."
"Nothing can escape from the darkness of the beginning. If it's a realm where even the 12 gods can't interfere, what trick did you use?
Jamie didn't answer.
It wasn't that I didn't want to do it.
It is because the mind of the sinner is complicated by the words.
'Aren't you reincarnated? You mean he wasn't dead? But my memories are those of a previous life. There are obviously empty parts, but... .'
As she thought about it, Jamie's eyes widened slightly.
Certainly, there were quite a few empty memories in the present self.
I don't know why the memory is empty, but I thought it was about the aftermath of reincarnation.
But empty memories were added one by one each time the remnants of the past were realized.
'Even if something hasn't been added.'
It was because I remembered it from the beginning.
When he acquired new powers, Leviathan, etc., the forgotten memories revived.
I never thought carefully about why.
He took it for granted, because he did not think that his soul would still be in the darkness of the beginning.
But listening to the sinners, they were not taken for granted.
'It doesn't make sense to get something and bring back my memories.'
I don't know if it's the feeling of seeing and remembering things that you've forgotten.
As she regained her memory, Jamie felt as if she had gone back to that time herself.
Does it feel like someone is putting back a lost memory?
'I took it for granted.'
So I didn't realize it at all.
Because I didn't think of it as an incomplete reincarnation.
Because I didn't even know that such a thing was possible.
It was natural.
Because it was my first time doing reincarnation.
It was impossible to feel strange in the yard that did not know how reincarnation was structured.
If you feel puzzled about reincarnation itself, I don't know.
So, Jamie asked the sinner.
"What do you see me as?"
" you.
The criminal narrowed his eyes like a person with presbyopia and drew his neck long forward.
As if trying to get a closer look at Jamie.
In that position, the sinner said nothing for a while.
Only Isis, standing in the middle of the two, is restless.
said the sinner.
It's confusing, it's amazing, it's odd, it's mysterious.
what?
"Though the soul is not yours, it is made of you. Should this be considered reincarnation? However, there is no soul that escaped from the darkness of the beginning... ."
"I have a question."
"A question?"
"A space of aeons where I was sealed. So, is it possible for a soul to escape from the darkness of the beginning?"
that is ."
The sinner was trying to answer right away, but he could not speak because he had a thorn in his neck.
Jamie was puzzled.
The space in which he was sealed was a world of nothingness, in which no light penetrated and nothing existed.
It wasn't that he didn't even try to escape.
In a nutshell, it was an impeccable space.
It was a structure that could only be opened from the outside and could never be escaped from the inside.
'Then... Is it possible to reincarnate just because I died in it?'
But standing here was Jamie Welton, who had a previous life called Diablo Volfir.
That fact did not waver at all.
It is absurd to doubt one's own identity.
This memory contained in his head is entirely his own, and is not so lax as to be copied by a third party.
So there was no such thing as a thought that it was made.
This could be asserted because he was the greatest wizard since the beginning of time.
'Someone may have intervened in the reincarnation.'
Maybe Diablo's followers planned it, and if not, Jormungand.
Maybe it's her plan.
One thing is certain, no matter what this body has become, it has only one purpose.
"It doesn't really matter."
"Jamie Welton?"
At Jamie's outrageous remark, Isis looked at him.
Jamie walked over to the sinner and said,
"No matter what I am made of, I am a man with a previous life, Diablo Volfir. I'm just running to achieve what I haven't been able to achieve in the past. Yes. I exist to destroy the twelve gods."
The criminal's eyes widened.
Without hesitation, he spit out words that could not be brought out of his mouth.
"So, it doesn't matter what the facts were. Real or fake, no matter what I become, my wishes will not change."
Right. That was it."
A twinkle flashed in the criminal's eyes.
After spending countless years here, he gradually ceased to linger in the eyes of sinners.
But it was different now.
The sinner opened his mouth with the eyes of a time when he was not a sinner.
"Is it will? Did the strong will to destroy the 12 gods summon Gaia?"
" Gaia?"
"Gaia the creator. It is the being who actually created the present world. He is now in a deep sleep."
Does such an existence exist?
In fact, Jamie didn't know much about the Old Gods.
During the time he was moving, the old gods were defeated by the 12 gods and all disappeared.
12 How many traces of them did you go to oppose the gods?
However, the only thing he found was a temple that was left after the old god had disappeared, and a holy relic that had lost its power.
'But the old god is now before my eyes.'
All of Diablo Volfir's search for the Old Gods had failed.
No, even if I had found it, it wouldn't have meant much.
'If you are in the same situation as interest.'
Anyway, now, Gaia, the creation god, was important.
"You mean Gaia was involved in my reincarnation?"
"There is nothing certain about you. However, your resurrection is not impossible if she is involved."
Looking at her, Gaia seemed to be a goddess.
"Is that real, inspiration?"
Isis's eyes lit up.
Gaia's involvement means she's still there somewhere.
It will be a great help for future plans if it is the God of Creation in any form.
The criminal shook his head.
"Like I said, nothing is certain. What is your name?"
"Now I am Jamie Welton."
"Have you accepted the life you have now? It wouldn't have been easy, but it's amazing.
It is really painful for a powerful being to be reborn as a baby with no power and to build up strength from zero.
No matter how many roads you have taken, going again is no different from penance.
"Your will is confirmed by me."
"Who are you?"
I ."
There was still life in the sinner's eyes.
"Osiris."
With a clear mind, he recalled his long-forgotten name.
And he said as if asking Jamie.
"Can you be a savior?"
At the end of those words, the vitality of both eyes disappeared, and consciousness was cut off like a lie.
Inspiration! Inspiration!
Isis shook Osiris, but it was unlikely that he would wake up immediately.
Osiris.
Jamie muttered his name.
For the first time, I learned the name of one of the old gods.
A being who can read the flow of souls.
Just knowing such a person was a great harvest.
'A secret about me.'
As a result, the purpose of killing the 12 gods will not change, but there must be a reason for his condition.
And, according to my intuition, something would change when I found out the secret.
I don't know what the change is, but I need to collect the traces of Diablo scattered around the world as soon as possible.
* * *
Isis sighed and escaped through the gap in space.
Jamie followed.
The gap in space was closed.
They were on an empty meadow.
Only the frontier executives knew, there was a passageway leading to the space where Osiris was sealed.
ha. I don't know what it is."
Isis sighed as if her head was complicated.
She had only wanted to introduce Jamie to Osiris.
But what
I discovered a secret I never could have imagined.
"Let's talk later. My head hurts a bit."
She waved her hand with a haggard face and disappeared.
Left alone, Jamie looked up at the sky.
The night sky was full of stars, and it seemed like they were going to fall to the ground at any moment.
It seemed that if I stretched out my hand right now, I would be able to hold a few stars.
"It was nice to be here."
At first, I thought it was a long story, but wasn't this ultimately the attraction of fate?
Jamie used the teleport to the lodging where he was staying.
When I arrived in front of the dormitory, someone large was standing leaning against the wall.
"Now you are here."
It was Hawks.
Why did he come at midnight?
"I thought it was tied, was it an owl or an owl? What is going on at this late hour?"
"Follow me."
The Hawks spread their wings and soared high into the sky without saying a word.
Jamie flew behind him without saying a word.
The two flew together without a word to some distance from Avalon.
The place they landed on was a wide meadow similar to where Osiris was sealed.
Since the area around Avalon was made up of vast grasslands, there was no way the terrain would change drastically just a little away.
"Can I take the reason I brought you here as a sign that we are going to have a fight now?"
Jamie took off his cloak and pulled out a staff member as he asked.
It would have been nice to have a sword, but the Red Dragon Kairos broke it.
Hawks, apparently, was equipped with a long spear in his right hand and a crossbow on the back of his left hand.
As he clenched a fist with his left hand, the crossbow was loaded.
It looked like a hand-operated crossbow.
"I thought there was no need to wait a few days. If you are tired, you can postpone it to a later date."
You're making a funny joke, bird head.
"I admit that I am strong for a human being, but after all humans are only human."
"Would you believe it if that human once went to the brink of bringing down the 12 gods?"
Hawks didn't answer.
It was just taking a fighting stance.
Jamie caused a lightning bolt in his hand to create a sword of lightning.
It's a pity compared to a real sword, but it's better than nothing.
He laughed provocatively.
"I'll show you now."
"Hando, Jindo, Beirildo. Not all of them were my opponents."
The Hawks are probably the strongest in Frontier after Isis and Ran, who was next to Isis.
That's enough to be considered one of the strongest in the human world.
To be honest, it won't be easy to beat him unless you're a mature 9th class player.
Since I have no intention of revealing black magic, the odds of winning will be lower.
It's okay though.
"You are out of luck, Hawks."
Strength is not something that can be acquired only through training and performance.
"Today's me is something you can't win today."
A cerulean flash of lightning flashed from Jamie's eyes.
The attribute he is most confident of after black magic.
[Thunder Spirit Magic]
The sword of lightning began to vibrate.
Class 9 lightning magic.
The power of disaster that destroys everything without leaving a trace.
On top of that, 'Sunggwang' overlaps.
[Magical Subjectivity: Convergence]
[Light disaster]
Tulle rumble-!!!!
The pure white thunderbolt burned the vast grassland to black in an instant.
The Hawks wore auras and fired crossbows, while simultaneously spearing.
His wings are folded, his body becomes one, and he breaks through the pure white brain.
Both eyes were dyed green.
Hawks unleashed his powers.
All of his feathers turned black and began to crystallize.
Its hardness exceeds that of diamonds.
[Power: Body of Diamond]
The power to increase the hardness of the body to the limit.
It's a trivial ability, but it's a different story if the user is Hawks.
He's a better hunter than anyone else, and a better auror user than anyone else.
The master class aura began to appear on every wing feather.
Hawks spread its wings as it was.
Wing feathers harder than diamonds were wrapped around the aurora, completely ripping apart the pure white brain.
The majesty of pushing away even class 9 magic with power.
It made me guess the strength of the Hawks.
But.
"Let there be light."
The opponent was a wizard.
Jamie teleported through space and placed a hand on Hawks' abdomen.
And, there was light.
