Chapter 324

As a witch, Laplace, who was extraordinary from birth, had been pondering the interesting topic of ‘knowledge’.

“My faithful servant. It’s Horetta. have you ever thought Why was a fragile species called human being able to stand tall at the pinnacle of ecology?”

At Laplace’s question, Horetta, who looked like a young boy, shook his head with an enchanting smile typical of an incubus.

“That is a difficult question. Still, humans are weak, but don’t they have a unique unity?”

“...Hmm, unity. It’s Horetta. There was a colony of giant ants in the dimension I lived in.”

Bug-type monsters weren’t limited to Laplace’s dimension. A 4th grade boss in the form of a bee has been found on Earth, and Spirit Walkers, an undead that shares a ‘spirit’, have also appeared.

“The ants, bigger than bears, moved as one body according to the hormones of the queen ant. No matter how good human unity is, can it compare to that? If solidarity were everything, my dimension would have become a world of ants.”

“Ah, my thoughts were short. Wouldn’t that also be knowledge?”

“You have come close to the answer. However, if only knowledge is all there is, short-lived humans will not be able to follow the immortal witches and elves like me.”

As Laplace said, learning takes time. How could a human’s short life span compare with an elf and an immortal witch with a lifespan of over a thousand years?

Holding her chin cutely, Horetta pondered with a hmm sound. Although she looks young, Horetta is an incubus who has lived for over 100 years. It was a time when a person’s life would have ended sufficiently for an ordinary human being.

Even if you just do Horetta right away, you will be given so much time. How could mankind have become the apex of the species on so many dimensions in such a short life span?

“Aren’t humans vastly outnumbered by elves? So there will be a lot of knowledge to gain.”

“It is still only half the answer. No matter how many humans there are, can they be compared to Orcs with excellent fertility?”

After hearing Laplace’s words, Horetta couldn’t understand even more.

“Listening to Master’s words, humans certainly seem to be a species lacking in strength... somewhere.”

Eventually, after long consideration, when Horetta gave his opinion, Laplace solemnly nodded.

“okay. you were right That deficiency is the very strength of mankind.”

And that impression was correct.

“Humans are weaker than other races, so they made weapons and honed their skills to survive.”

As Laplace said, mankind has never had an outstanding history from the beginning in any dimension.

To make up for his lack of fighting power, he sharpened his swordsmanship and became a wizard by polishing mana, which had been treated as the exclusive property of dragons.

So what about knowledge?

“Dedicate your life to exploring the lack of knowledge. At the end of my life with a short lifespan, I will leave that knowledge to future generations so that it does not disappear.”

They don’t have a huge lifespan like elves.

Although they are not born with advanced knowledge like dragons, they build up knowledge by burning passion during their short life, and spread the spark to the next generation when the flame goes out.

“As time goes by, that knowledge spreads to countless people and is transformed and reborn every time it is passed on. It spreads out on the same branch, but no one knows what will bloom at the end.”

because of the lack of

It is more greedy because it is lacking.

“Humanity’s strength is deficiency, and the result of that deficiency is the desire to become better. That greed drops the head of a mighty dragon and even destroys a fortress-like witch’s castle.”

It was a powerful boss that classified all witches, including Laplace, the witch of plague, and the witch of winter, into 7th grade.

It was an existence with tremendous fighting power that could not even be seen except in the upper floors of the tower.

“I am only a fragment, but I remember it clearly. How my neck fell off.”

who would have imagined?

Witches met death at the hands of humans whom they thought were mere creatures.

“Then, Sumire-sama...”

“He must be threatened. Because I, who knows the truth, is by my side. If Morgan regains his power, he will never stand still.”

As Laplace said, the moment Morgan comes up with a plan. By nature, Morgan could not leave the possibility of becoming a danger. The next targets were obviously Sumire and Laplace.

“Again, dreams are a terrifying force. Or fall into an eternal dream. It can contaminate the mind.”

“Then we too...”

As Horetta said, Laplace was a piece of Sumire’s body, and Horetta was a minion embodied by the power of that piece.

If the mind of Sumire, the body, was polluted, this peaceful castle life was a sandcastle on the beach that would collapse together.

“Are you saying that if Sumire-sama falls into danger, we can disappear together?”

When Horetta looked around the castle with a worried face, Laplace laughed weakly.

“Are you afraid of disappearing? I’m sorry. I’m not worried about that. Already, I am just an illusion left by the original... There is no difference even if I exist or not.”

Pat-

Laplace spread his fan, half covering his face. Laplace’s eyes above the fan were smiling, but his voice was somehow hushed.

“But Sumire is different. Sumire’s life is an obvious reality. Despite resembling my original, I live a very ordinary and happy life as a girl, not a witch.”

Like Laplace, Sumire was not pointed at as a witch of plague right after she was born, and she did not destroy the continent by driving death.

I was living with a simple dream of just wanting to be with someone I liked.

maybe that

What Laplace wanted so much...

“...I hope that child achieves what he wants and continues to live a peaceful life.”

After speaking, Laplace folded his fan. Her expression, which was finally revealed, was as relaxed as usual, but Horetta seemed to see Laplace’s hidden side.

“...All right. master. We will all prepare for war.”

grasp!

Horetta, who went out to the window, opened the window and shouted fiercely as if she had become a warrior in the battle.

“Let’s all build up our strength for the coming war!”

Watching Horetta from under the castle is Sumire’s familiar, the undead army.

“of course! Serving the master is our job!”

Among them was Lilith, a succubus.

“My master’s enemy. Kill it...”

There was also a Death Knight who was reborn as a Dyurahan.

“Ta shut!”

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...”

There were also skeletons and ghouls who had been with them from the beginning and died several times.

Tung-

The moment when everyone made up their minds for Sumire. An unknown creature has been newly summoned to this realm where only Sumire’s summons can enter.

Saaa –

A monster with enormous mana that can’t be compared with all other familiars, with a size that is so enormous that it rivals a castle.

Laplace, who was drinking tea with a happy expression at the appearance of the new dragon, who had been given a new name, [Evil Dragon Bahamut], looked down with a bewildered expression.

“What is that...”
