167 < Trace of Adam in 166 (2) >

“Forgive my rudeness. ”

“That's fine, why don't you start by explaining? ”

“Yes.”

Illina starts explaining.

“The orb that I gave to my father is a family treasure called the 'Promise of the Great One'. ”

I looked at the orb I was holding. It exudes a brilliant green light.

“The Great Forest Father who appeared a thousand years ago during the crisis of Alvehem and saved us. It was left behind by a High Elf. ”

High Elves?

“And this‘ Great Man's Promise ’only reacts when it comes to the Great Father, the' High Elf. ’”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

That's why you call me the Great Father.

Understood.

But there's one more question.

“I knew why I was so sure I was a High Elf. But why did you try to test me with this orb? ”

He suspected I was a High Elf, so he must have tricked that bead into giving it to me.

What prompted you to doubt me as a High Elf?

“There are many things. First, a beautiful appearance, a clean scent that even makes me fascinated, and · · · · · · ·. ”

Illina looks at me with clear eyes.

“The power of the unknown end, even my eyes." ”

“· · · · · · · · ”

I did.

I was busy, so I forgot.

I heard that Ilena, Queen of Alvehem, was called the ‘Queen of Truth’ that penetrates the Maw of Men.

‘That is the eye that reads the opponent's system.' ’

Then it all makes sense.

It's similar to Hermite's. I was mistaken because I couldn't read my system.

‘· · · · · · · So you've been so kind from the start. ’

Somehow.

I was too kind to intruders.

“I can imagine why your great father would hide his identity and wander around the chaotic world of war. ”

Ilena stared at me desperately.

“You must be trying hard to finish this war. ”

Ilena approaches me and gently touches my body.

“How badly did you get hurt? ”

I don't have any right words from one to ten, so I don't have anything to argue with.

“I was rude to think of such a father as‘ The Promise of the Great One, ’because I couldn't help him quietly. Again, I'm very sorry. ”

Ilena lowers her waist to 90 degrees.

It was an irreverent sin.

I was lost in thought, looking down at Ilena's back head.

He chewed on what he said to me, organized the key words, and used them as information.

‘A world of confusion, war, rudeness, and forgiveness. ’

Insert raw knowledge information here · · · · · · · · · ·.

‘Roughly. ’

I know why she did what she did.

“Alveheim is in danger. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Ilena's body flutters noticeably, her head bowing.

“That's why the queen was patrolling the perimeter herself. We don't have enough men.”

Since it is the crisis of Alvehem, Illina has decided to hand over the 'Promise of the Great One’ to me.

Even though you knew she was being rude, you had no choice.

“Just raise your head. It's hard to say.”

“· · · · · · · Example. ”

Ilena raises her head slowly.

Both faces are red with shame. To think of me as the great father, the High Elf.

It would be a shame to announce that this is going down.

“I'm sorry, but I saved the great Father's country. ”

Bloodstains gushed from my tightly clenched lips. You must be so ashamed and angry.

“I'm fine.”

You're not sorry for me in the first place. I'm not a High Elf.

Of course, I couldn't say that, so I made excuses.

“It must have been hard for the first High Elves, who were my ancestors, to stop drinking now. ”

“· · · · · · · Example. ”

Ilena smiles bitterly.

That's how I see it.

As expected, drinking is a problem.

‘Then, as expected, this is the right time frame for the Great War of the First Races. ’

How old is it, roughly?

We need to be sure about the timeline right now.

We'll figure it out.

“Exactly how long has it been since Marcin's first raid? ”

“6 years 11 months 21 days · · · · · ·. It's going to be seven years. ”

“That's already happened. ”

In seven years, we have about three years until the end of the world.

· · · · · · Wait.

Year seven?

My pupils slowly expanded.

“Perhaps the crisis in Albheim is because the Demibeast is on the verge of extinction?" ”

“· · · · · · Yes. ”

“As expected · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Lena Beast Riperiel.

The day I bumped into her, I heard a lot of stories.

It was about what happened between the seven years immediately after the war and just before she was sealed.

Lena said.

― Alvehem, an allied nation, was spread out under the full support of the city, but was unable to stop the Drinking Army.

That's why Lena decided to flee to Albheim, on the Korean Peninsula.

Of course, Albheim wasn't safe, so he had to choose a seal to survive.

Lena was sealed up like that.

This is what I know about the seventh year of the war.

“What is the current situation in Reperiel, Demibeast?" ”

“· · · · · · · To be honest, the immediate destruction is not uncommon. ”

It's the worst.

“If Riperiel is destroyed, Alvehem is practically destroyed. ”

“· · · · · · · Example. ”

Dwarf country.

China has long since been handed over to Drinkin. In such a situation, if the Demibeast reaches the Japanese archipelago, Alchemy will be completely isolated.

After that, you will naturally walk the path of destruction.

She's worried about it.

“I knew the situation. ”

“So · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Ilena looks at me with anxiety, restlessness, and anticipated eyes.

“Let me help you.”

“Ah, Gamma, thank you! ”

Ilena's expression brightens quickly.

“Can you heal your wounds now?" Even if I wanted to help, it's because I'm in this condition. ”

“Oh, sorry, sorry! I'll call a pharmacist right away! ”

Ilena leaps out of the room in an instant.

* * *

“· · · · · · So you decided to help this country? ”

“Yes.”

As soon as I returned to my room, I told my child what had just happened.

“Why?”

“Because I have to. ”

“I mean, what's the reason for that? ”

The child stares at me with a strangely mixed look of half the complaint half worried. It was a look that meant why I stood up and got into such a dangerous situation as war.

“Okay, I'll explain in turn. First of all, do you understand the situation we're in? ”

“· · · · · · · Example. I still don't believe it, but I've convinced myself it flew into the past 10,000 years ago. ”

The child opened his eyes.

“That's why I don't understand it any more. Now all we have to think about is finding a way back into the world, not changing the past. ”

The boy shot me.

“Haven't you seen any movies? If you change the past, you don't know what terrible things will happen in the future. ”

I think you're worried about the butterfly effect.

“Hardly ever. ”

“· · · · · · Why? ”

“The future of this time axis is‘ ruin ’. ”

“· · · · · · · Yes? ”

The world will be destroyed in three years.

The majority of the intellectuals are all ‘dead’, and all surviving intellectuals are hypnotized and sealed.

For 10,000 years.

“A new history begins when the world of these xenophiles is destroyed and a new species of humans emerges. ”

“? ”

He tilted his head with a look that he didn't understand well.

“I mean, history is cut off once in a while. No matter what you do to the front of the broken tape, there's no problem with the back. ”

“· · · · · · · ah ~”

I don't know, but it looks like Nuance knows.

“And even if we were to find a way back to the original timeline, it would be better to help Alvehem. ”

“· · · · · · · Why else? ”

“We need help. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

It's simple.

Finding a way for me and my two children to go back, and finding a way for the two countries to go back together, Albheim and Riperiel. What would be more efficient?

“Besides, you and I are the perfect heretic. I need a place to trust my body. ”

There won't be many places for heretics like us to live.

“Power balance is different from where we lived. ”

“In addition to all kinds of species that are superior to humans since birth, was it a time-speed during which all the main system functions, including the 'transcendence system’, were activated? ”

“I remember you very well. ”

After all these reasons, it turns out that helping Alveheim is far more beneficial.

We can't abandon Princess Lena.

“· · · · · · · Horses are so liquidated. I told you not to get involved with a man who can talk. ”

The child sighed.

“Okay, I'll follow your opinion. ”

“Thank you.”

The child seems convinced.

“So we have two big things to do. Help Alvehem and Riperiel stop their destruction and find a way back with their help. ”

“Plus, we'll have to search for any Unknowns, Maidens, and Hermites that might have flown into this world together. ”

“Oh, there it is. ”

And we still need to know about the Great War of the First Races, the decade of space.

This is the best I can do right now.

* * *

That night.

I was taking a shower in the assigned bathroom.

“· · · · · · It's no different than modern. ”

There are a few other things, such as the shape of a shower, but the contents are similar.

Thermal water control is possible and water pressure control is possible.

“Still a little warm. ”

As the water splashes, it seeps into the wounds that have not yet healed, and you feel mild pain.

“If I could just use the Divine Power, I'd just get better. ”

I sighed, gazing at the sign of the heavenly host shining in white.

“Not only divine power, but not all characteristics can be used. ”

I looked all over my body.

To be precise, he examined the remains of Adam all over his body.

“Everything is white." ”

Adam's stigmata, visible beyond the mirror, had all turned ‘white’.

It's the same as the Holy Spirit of Fire or the Holy Spirit of Heaven.

But not everything was the same.

“Most stigmata are the same shape as before · · · · · · Why did they only change the shape of the heavenly, Demibeast, and Spirit? ”

There are a few hypotheses that come to mind, but I can't argue with this just yet.

I'm staring at the stigmata.

‘Oh, we should check the stigmata on the back. ’

I realized that I had to check for dragon stigmata engraved on my back as well as elf stigmata and so on.

And the moment I checked my back.

“! ”

My pupils expanded in horror.

“· · · · · · · Black? ”

The elves' marks are stained black.

Elven stigmata that has changed its form even more luxuriously.

“What is this? ”

Convert black + shape.

This is a pattern I have never seen again.

“Ahh.”

My head aches.

* * *

The next morning.

Is it because there is no pure blood boiling? I could sleep for seven hours straight.

“· · · · · · Tired. ”

I'm tired even after seven hours of sleep. It's the tiredness that comes with it.

“Yawn.”

I howled and walked to the training ground guided by Illina yesterday.

I need to check my physical condition first.

‘There is no one. ’

The training ground was quiet.

This is an exhibition situation.

Because you don't have the time to spend training. Of course it is. You'll be busy here resting.

‘The manager must be having a hard time. ’

The interior of the training ground was well organized. Weapons were well on shelves of different kinds, and there were no fingerprints on the giant mirror that occupied the other half.

There are no common notches on the walls.

“At this point, why don't you just get some clamps? ”

It was clean enough to make me think that. I quietly approached the shelf. I can see more than a dozen weapons, roughly.

I was going through the shelves thinking about what to use.

“Huh?"

I see a sword in the corner.

A giant sword that occupies an entire shelf.

"I'm a great sword," he said. 'It was a sword that emitted an energy that seemed to insist.

‘· · · · · · · Is this an ancient artifact? ’

I think that's pretty good.

I slid toward you. I thought it was a good time.

I wanted to test my power with an ancient artifact.

But did the Elves use the Great Sword? ’

Hmm. Well, there must be elves like that.

Maybe if it was an elf from that goose they called Robin the other day.

I took my hand to the Great Sword, thinking not in bulk.

At that moment.

“Shhh!”

I felt an overwhelming pain in my thighs.

It is similar to the pain I felt yesterday when I held the Promise of the Great One in my hands.

If there's a difference, yesterday was pain like burns, and today is pain like wounds.

“Huff, huff. ”

It's even the same that the pain stopped quickly.

“Wow, seeds, seeds, seeds. ”

I thought you were going to die.

It was when I was picking a rough breath like that.

“· · · · · · · Huh? ”

My hand, holding the sword, caught my eye.

"Why have your muscles gotten so big? ’

Even my nails became sharper.

It's sharp enough to tell you to go away.

· · · · · · Wait, a change in your body?

“No way!”

There was a big mirror.

I quickly turned around in the direction of the mirror.

And the moment I saw myself in the mirror, I was dumbfounded.

“The ears of an animal · · · · · · · ·? ”

The head is equipped with the ears of a yellow beast that looks like the ears of a tiger.

It even has yellow hair.

The body that was sleek disappeared everywhere and became like a bulk up due to massive muscles.

“You're a Demibeast everywhere. ”

They're Homo, by the looks of it.

Yesterday I must have turned into an Elf. I looked down at the sword in my hand.

‘Yesterday, when I grabbed an Elven artifact, I turned into an Elf. ’

Does this mean that this artifact is an artifact of the Demibeast and that my ability to change is to transform into the form of the Demibeast when I take the artifact?

“· · · · · Then can we use all the characteristics of the species, not just the way they look? ”

Based on the muscle transformation, it looks more likely.

I think I need to try it out. I've empowered my whole body. The muscles swelled even more massively and repeatedly expanded and contracted.

“I've definitely gotten stronger. ”

It was then.

Shitty-

My clothes began to tear.

My clothes couldn't hold on to the massive inflated muscles.

“Oops · · ·. ”

The clothing branches were torn by the thighs and forearms, revealing the sagging muscles.

“· · · · · · · Huh? ”

And I was surprised.

I'm not surprised by the sheer shape of the muscles.

I was surprised because I saw the "stigma" engraved on my thigh muscles. A different sign of Demibeast.

“Black?”

Apparently, until last night, the remains of the Demibeast were turned black.

It was not only that I was frightened.

‘· · · · · · Wait, how many minutes have passed now? ’

I was too busy to check the time.

I quickly checked the time.

“2: 37? ”

Over two minutes have passed since I held the great sword, presumably a Demibeast relic.

Nevertheless, no sparks spatter.

“What's really going on · · ·? ”

My pupils shining in the mirror fluttered.
