Episode 387: Even if you shake it again and again (6)

“But what is the reason why you were used as expendable goods? Did it happen simply because it was a failure?”

At that time, Berserk, who was stroking the head of the girl leaning in his arms, asked. The displeased face proves that he has no interest in the topic that has been discussed so far.

Well, thanks to that, we were able to catch something that we might have missed.

“...It must have been quite unexpected for Oman that I inherited his memories. “It also means that I don’t have any power over such topics.”

After thinking for a while, Kyemyung quietly thought of an answer. If she had truly inherited Oman’s memories, this was an inference that would most likely be correct.

“There is no need to kill him right away, but there is no reason to hire him. “The knowledge I have is also available to him, and my level of force is just something he can obtain if he wants.”

It’s good to be able to learn information about the Great Devil of Arrogance through him, but is it really a good thing only for the people involved in the commandment? For a moment, I wondered if her disposition was because she had been remembered. It was a meaningless thought.

“So I was sent to Münmund. “Because it was the only place where I could be used the best at the time.”

Well, I don’t want sympathy myself, so it would be rude of me to think like this.

From earlier, I corrected the feeling that had been falling into empathy.

Even if I am not the victim, they are quite the murderer too. When I thought of that, my heart felt a little chilled and I felt a little uncomfortable.

It was just the right sense of distance, and it was a sense I needed to maintain in the future.

“is it.”

But oh, that devil is also kind of funny. You inherited your knowledge, but are you just using it as a consumable?

Even if Gye Myung doesn’t have the mana to use magic, the judgment is the same. When I looked at this case, it seemed like even if I couldn’t write the commandments myself, I could have someone else do it for me.

“Your arrogance is foolish. “Your value does not necessarily lie in knowledge.”

Even if we put all that aside, Gye Myung still has the ability to use his body and his excellent swordsmanship. It is said that she has the skills to deal with two human chief knights at the same time.

So, I think there must have been a better way to use it than using it like this...

Or is it that if it’s an ability outside of the standard, it’s meaningless in war? So you only planted it as a dagger to destroy a city?

“...Is it just a fortunate thing on our part? “I still don’t defend your actions, but I would much rather not meet you as an enemy.”

Now that I think about it, I think I used my arrogance as much as I could. It is true that the commandments are strong, but they are not at a level that will change the course of the war.

If I were to use the game as a reason, what about elite mobs? Rather than using something like that as a soldier, it would be more efficient to bury it in the enemy’s heart and use it as a dagger when necessary. Originally, exchange fees would not be possible, but special circumstances may make it possible.

However, due to Abel’s arrangement, the situation changed and we came to this point. It was an extremely painful event for Oman, but it was incredible luck for us.

“...But why does everyone look at me like that?”

“No... I thought you were close.”

Are you close? I? With him? why?

“...nonsense.”

While I was dumbfounded by the Deathbringer’s words, I also started denying the commandments. His voice was a little subdued and he seemed quite upset. As expected, it was clear that he was offended by being told that he was close.

“Oh, that’s right.”

In times like this, it’s best to change the subject. I also remembered that I had to ask.

“Do you have any guesses about the magic circle that Commandment Oman could try in the current situation?”

“exactly.”

“God warned me. “The magic circle of arrogance has been completed.”

“Yes?!”

“Are you sure?”

“If it’s something that God warns about, it’s probably not normal. So, if you have any expectations, can you tell me?”

I asked her about the ‘Magic Circle of Arrogance’. Gye-myung raised his hand and lightly touched the tip of his chin. I thought this was a question that was quite troubling to her as well.

“There are quite a few things I expected, but nothing is exactly right.”

“is it?”

“One... If he developed a new magic, I think we can guess what intention and purpose he had when creating it.”

“...Developing magic?”

“He is a being called the lord of magic. Have you forgotten that the humans here first started dealing with magic by imitating demons?”

No, how do I know that? I only memorized Korean history in detail.

“...It’s surprising, but I don’t think it’s something we’re going to delve into now. So, guess what?”

“A magic circle of human sacrifice drawn across the entire continent.”

However, before I could continue complaining, the commandment said something shocking.

“Considering the recent over-the-top attack on the Great Hall, that may be the only tactic Oman can use.”

* * *

A throne room where a lake replaces the floor and a chandelier replaces the Milky Way. Abel stood there at the call.

[Why are you sighing so much?]

I can’t bear to be embarrassed in front of the kids. I wonder if I stood in the dark snowy field under the pretext of going for an early morning walk.

Suzaku flew in from one side, circled around me, and asked. Honestly, it was a question that made me want to answer, wondering if I really needed to ask that question.

“...I was wondering if there was hope for us.”

But isn’t that kind of answer a bit wrong?

I spoke anxiously. ‘Guys, we’re screwed.’ The words, which had somehow been purified, were spit out along with white breath.

The night turned into gray smoke and flew up into the sky.

[Well, you were a warrior’s companion... I guess you can’t help but worry about that.]

Seeing that makes me want a cigarette. I sighed again, remembering something I shouldn’t smoke. Although there was no nicotine, it gave off gray smoke that felt similar to burning a cigarette.

[But it’s not good to worry too much about something that has already happened.]

“I know that, but...”

Okay, even if I wrap my head around this, nothing will change. There isn’t any.

What should I do if I’m still worried? It’s sad that you can’t even get to the final boss and get cut by the boss right before it.

“I just want to save the child in front of me.”

Would it have been better to spend 9 years? But it turned out that it was an illusion from the beginning.

My eyelids closed and my mouth let out another sigh.

“Living in this world is really not easy....”

[I admit it. [The world is really tough.]

In the meantime, Suzaku keeps comforting me. I smiled faintly as I saw the being who was somehow responding and offering comfort.

“Now that I think about it, it’s not something I should say to someone who has been fighting for thousands of years.”

[What do you think? It is true that there are many short but difficult lives.]

“But there are probably few people who are as dedicated as you.”

[Dedication and dedication... I think I’m just doing my job. After all, if the world collapses, I’ll have no place to live, right?]

“Well. “I think they have a great heart for other living creatures, not just fighting for a place to live.”

[It’s natural to help kids who are weaker than me, right?]

“The devil inside me laughed at that, so I don’t think it’s natural.”

I slightly infused Ratel with magic and changed its appearance to resemble a staff. The ends were split into a T shape, so it was a perfect shape for Suzaku to sit on.

[This is okay.]

“It’s okay if it’s comfortable.”

After confirming that Suzaku was sitting on the staff, I walked slowly. If the cane shakes excessively, it will be uncomfortable to use the main skill, so of course I paid attention to that.

I swam in the air with a stick in my hand that was not used to support the ground but was only used as a resting place for the jujak.

“Suzaku.”

Then wait a moment. I looked at the black river next to me. From what I heard, it was evidence of a curse directed at the Nordeans.

“Will that disappear someday?”

Is it because the dragon hasn’t reaped it yet or hasn’t reaped it yet? That thing doesn’t disappear and remains firmly in place. I didn’t know when it would disappear. Because the person who placed the curse is still asleep.

[Are you talking about a curse?]

“Yes.”

However, what if the reason the curse did not go away was not because they forgot to reap it, but because they could not reap it? So do the Nordeans have to bear the curse forever for the mistakes of their ancestors?

At my question, Suzaku flapped his red wings once.

[then. This curse will be lifted someday. The dragon will definitely wake up, one of the dangers of the world has disappeared, and God has regained some power.]

The sparks flowing from the wings made of flame are like pieces of jewels. A faint light like a firefly and a soft light like a sky lantern obscured part of my vision and flew to the other side.

[So don’t worry too much.]

Then, from far beyond the pure white horizon, a ray of light began to seep in.

[Even if you don’t achieve it, the world will not be ruined, and even if it gets worse, it will get better again someday.]

It was a light that illuminated the world by driving out the darkness and adding the scarlet of hope to white.

[There is also evidence. What I have seen in my life is that, regardless of the era, at least one good and strong person like you has always appeared and changed the world.]

Ah, it is morning.

[So this world will be saved someday. Because of what you have done, someone will cheer you up again.]

It was a dazzlingly brilliant morning.

I watched the morning with Suzaku for a while.
