Episode 467
Episode 152. Prepared by God for Human Fight⑴ It took about 10 days to reach the Southern Continent on the Tulka, but as always it took longer than expected.
It was because of the refugees who could not get out of the southern continent.
No, it’s not because of refugees, but because of humans who are like animals.
“Okay, I was wrong. Help me!”
“Please save me!”
Three or four people were lying face down on the side of the road, asking Yuma for forgiveness. They were the ones who did not deliberately leave the refuge and remained in the South, but they were enemies.
robbery, murder, robbery, etc.
They had no hesitation in harming others, and no hesitation in realizing their own desires.
It was 10 minutes ago when Yuma found them. They were holding a group of abandoned children, and Yuma had just heard the full story.
“Huh, I didn’t know you’d come to the south and be the first to kill humans.”
Seek!
Ascalon drew a trajectory, the heads of the thieves fell and rolled on the road. Yuma left their corpses and walked towards Tulka and the children.
“Thank you…
It was a voice that seemed to have drained its soul.
And no matter what Yuma does, the child who answered like that will soon die and begin reincarnation as a soul. Unless the world perishes.
A total of five children.
All of them were children abandoned by parents who fled because they were unfavorable to survival. They were born and raised in different cities, but by chance five of them came together to form a group.
‘At times like this, I think I know why other races hate humans.’
It was already the eighth bandit he had encountered. It wasn’t that I was looking for these people on purpose, but I couldn’t just pass by because I kept seeing them.
Is it because the rumor that the world is heading towards the end is widely spread even among common people?
Originally, it was strange that Yuma often encountered bandits, but the ones he had recently cut down were just so vicious that they couldn’t be considered human at all.
Parents who abandoned their children or thieves targeting them.
Yuma couldn’t help but feel miserable. How could you do something like this when the world could end?
“Take the Tulka children and go. If you encounter a dragon or an evacuation procession, drop it off.”
Kreuk.
Tulka bit the children one by one and tossed them onto his back.
However, the children did not look very happy. While he was abandoned by his parents and was living on the road, his heart was already broken and exploded here and there.
Now, it’s just an expression that says it’s okay. It just wasn’t suitable for six or seven year olds.
It is the adult’s responsibility to create that expression, not the children.
And Yuma, as an adult and as a god, felt his heart break as he watched the children he saved.
‘After this fight, I must make a better world than this one.’
After the fight, I tried to rest while training my swordsmanship.
However, seeing you as the world was spinning, it seemed that there would be a lot of work to do even after the final battle was over.
The world shouldn’t be filled with such harsh things, even considering Mio, who has just been born, and the child he will have with Natalie.
“Crazy guys.”
Talking to herself, Yuma began to trudge. It would take at least a day’s walk before Tulka dropped off the children and returned.
It was fortunate that there was still time before the start of the war.
After walking for some time, a forest road opened up.
When I raised my own aura and sharpened my senses, I could clearly feel the whole forest as if it had been assimilated into my body.
Even the movement of an insect crawling on a tree hundreds of meters ahead could be heard, and Yuma suddenly realized that he had become a god.
And now Yuma knew.
The process from the death of the insect hundreds of meters in front of you to its new birth and coming out of the world again.
In the same context, he could understand that the child he had just saved had no choice but to go through the cycle of reincarnation.
After usurping the seat of power in the underworld, Yuma came to possess a divine sense different from the power of the underworld.
‘Yunhoera.’
Reincarnation, like death, was not intuitive.
It was the god of death’s job to tie up the souls that escaped from them at the end of their lives.
It required enormous power to control the power of the soul, but in essence, controlling death was easier than governing a country.
However, the god of reincarnation was not like that. Reincarnation had a stronger feeling that God was not directly managing it, but simply watching.
It is the god of reincarnation’s job to just observe whether reincarnation is going well, whether it is not going astray, and whether it is going through the proper reincarnation.
If you had the power of death, you could kill the other person at will, but if you had the power of reincarnation, you could not reborn the target at will.
In other words, the god of reincarnation had to respect all the dead souls in the world. The chain of reincarnation was also more like a tool to catch stray souls, rather than a great god’s weapon like Amulla.
‘So maybe Sekmeira’s attachment to the world was stronger than Amanzo’s.’
To Amanzo, the world was just an object of conquest. He didn’t even know the truth about Rizol, and greedily tried to devour the royalties to gain faith and power.
Sekmeira, on the other hand, was a bit different.
In his previous life, he was a demon who was infamous enough to be incomparable to Amanzo, but he had a strong desire to maintain the ‘color’ itself of Sek Mei, which he had experienced in a few days of fighting.
That is why he made the choice to leave for the New World with Resol.
‘Even in the previous life, there is a high possibility that Sekmeira came even a little closer to Lisol’s true identity, or that she sensed that Hwa’s second coming was approaching and was aiming for royalties.’
A lump of void spread like mold in front of Yuma, who stopped walking. Inadvertently reaching for it, Yuma flinched and picked up a stone from the floor.
Hoo-wook.
I lightly tossed a stone into it, but I didn’t hear it fall.
Even Yuma’s senses no longer sensed the existence of the stone. As soon as it entered the realm of emptiness, it completely disappeared.
Even if it was Seruka steel or a superhuman strong body, it was bound to become the same as the stone that just disappeared once it entered that black area.
Extinction for the sake of extinction. I suddenly felt that the power of the void was really overwhelming.
And thousands of such voids bloomed in this forest alone. It was to the point where he had to be careful with his steps, because even with the senses of God, the energy of emptiness could not be sensed.
However, Yuma had to follow the traces of a human who had already passed this road.
‘There are quite a few empty souls here too.’
Yuma thought as he saw different black masses lying on the forest path. It was a ghostly body whose soul had escaped, and of course it was a trace of Evan.
Evan was clearly facing south. That meant the same thing as going to Risol.
It is unknown whether it is because of the ‘mark of light’ that Rizol left for Evan to become his subordinate or for other reasons.
Yuma believed what Natalie said a few days ago, ‘I won’t be upset again’.
“Krurruk!”
At dawn, Tulka, who had dropped off the children, returned to Yuma. Just then, Yuma lit a fire with her unique aura and was performing her own ritual.
As a god who presides over the two worlds, it was a ceremony to pray for the safety of this world. It was also a ritual to hope that the next life of the child who had seen the shadow of reincarnation earlier would be better than that.
Since he himself was a god, there was no god he could pray to.
As Tulka approached, Yuma extinguished the flames and climbed onto his back again.
* * * Old Sennen Kingdom.
The central gathering point of the Eastern and Western forces that will gather in the southern continent.
After the last thief, fortunately, Yuma was able to arrive here safely without encountering any more such trash.
[Welcome, my lord!]
“Rakir welcomed Yuma as we entered the plain with a view of the Rakir Fortress. He had already arrived at Sennen and was waiting for Yuma while investigating Evan’s traces.
Yuma naturally stroked Rakir’s head and surveyed the view of the old Sennen Castle.
It was not as desolate as I had imagined.
Colorful dragons were embroidering the sky, scattering unknown magic, and troops from neighboring countries that had arrived in advance were moving busily, carrying supplies. Rather, it seemed more energetic than the capital city.
and barriers.
It was unbelievable that the space that was only a royal castle stretched all the way around the former Sennen Royal Castle. A barrier that seemed to reach the sky perfectly covered several cities and sites.
This formidable barrier was erected by the Balaur as soon as they confirmed that Risol was in the South. It was a barrier made up of various magics, so even Yuma and Duran’s decisive battle couldn’t penetrate it easily.
The humans here called this barrier the last line of deterrence for mankind.
After the fact that ogres appeared in the south was revealed, almost all humans left this place, but on the contrary, there were some who thought that it was safest here with Yuma and the dragons.
The nickname of the last line of deterrence was given to them.
[Master! The lizards seemed to have had a hard time making it. Kya Hak! Even I thought it was quite admirable.] “Didn’t you help me?”
[Ah, that’s it. I was trying to help Those guys’ magic and my magical power don’t match…]
“It’s just something I’ve tried. Why are you making such excuses? It’s not even a crime.”
[I’m afraid the lord will hit me.]
“Did I hit you often like Natalie did?”
[Kahak.]
“It seems like that. Any traces of Evan?”
[I found a lot. Where did you come when you came? If you go to the forest that leads over there, there are a lot of empty spirits!]
“I saw all of those on the way. Were there any other signs?”
[I haven’t found it yet. kyahak! It suddenly cuts off again from here.] “I see. Where is the ogre?”
[If you cross one sea over that barrier, you will be near the pole where the ogres are. I’m thinking maybe a kid named Evan went that way too.] “I think so. Was there any movement on the polar side?”
[That is still unconfirmed.
There is a strong barrier all over that side, so neither the lizards nor I can approach it. I think the lord should visit once.]
“I understand. I’ll have to see Kriesha-sama first.”
Yuma started advancing towards the citadel with Rakir.
