The history of modern humans is that even the records of the Great Migration 343,000 years ago are not complete. Moreover, virtually nothing is known about the history of the era that preceded it by a thousand years.
But even so, there was a story that had been handed down like a folktale from ancient times.
– The red-eyed devil catches young children who do not listen well.
Similar stories were told both on the eastern end of the continent and on the western end of the continent, as parents say this to scare a disobedient child.
The majority of historians said it was a word that explained the threat of monsters rampant in the world, but some historians thought differently.
– In ancient times, there existed a monster, or rather a ruler, who snatched children from across the continent. A ruler with red eyes.
It was a story that was not told in the McLane family, where red eyes are inherited, so I was shocked when I first heard the story.
Why did that story come to mind now?
“Were the sacrifices to ascend to the divine throne human beings? Even children?”
King Seonjo could not answer the question that was inadvertently raised.
But that silence was enough.
“Ha….”
– The emergence of someone who has become a great person among humans will lead to the development of all mankind. It was a sacrifice for the greater good.
“It’s probably not God, it’s the devil.”
– …No matter how my descendants are, they cannot accept such insults.
“I see that you take that as an insult, so I guess there’s nothing more to say.”
The great hero who protected the human race was no longer there.
What remains in that shell, or soul, is simply the embodiment of egoism that does not care at all about the lives of innocent people for the sake of one’s own desires.
It certainly took strength to save his family and country, but he had no desire to become a devil who might sacrifice them all for that desire.
‘And that’s without becoming someone other than myself.’
Logan tried to turn around.
however.
“Ugh!?”
My body didn’t move.
– We waited for nearly 2,000 years. Do you think I’m going to give up the ‘body’ that I just got!
Zibrik Cassel’s spirit, which suddenly became clear again, screamed with a distorted expression.
There was no longer any sweet temptation in it.
Grumbling.
Logan barely turned his head with all his strength and glared at the soul of his ancestor.
“The hero who saved humanity has become too corrupt. Aren’t you ashamed!?”
– In this era where mana is disappearing, the probability that a descendant will reach the level of a great mage or appear with a body equivalent to that level. And the probability that those descendants will obtain my inheritance. Can you guess how much that will be!? I can’t give up! You can never give up!
These are words that are not suitable as an answer to the question of whether you are embarrassed.
– I will endure the loss of divinity. If you don’t agree, the only way is to take it by force!
With that shout, the soul turned into pure white light and disappeared, and the space where Logan was standing collapsed as if pouring all over his body.
– Give it to me! My body!
In a field of vision filled with white light, the only thing that can be seen is the flashing red eyes.
It no longer looked human-like.
That’s it.
“There is no way to guess!!”
Ugh.
The force that was continuously amplified in my heart resisted the enormous force that was tightening my entire body.
However, no matter how hard he tried to resist, he could not easily overcome the pressure that seemed to be pressing down on him from the world itself.
While Logan was resisting with all his might.
The pure white fragments of the shattered space slowly began to seep into his body.
It was very easy to guess what it was.
‘Oh, no!’
At that moment, an unexpected situation ensued.
– What is this!?
For some reason, the pure white spirit of the ancestor that entered his body screamed.
As I concentrated my mind, I saw a golden force crushing the white energy that had penetrated my body. Fortunately, the conflicting reactions that appeared among the followers of the Kassel Tower seemed to have responded to the source as well.
And the unexpected situation seemed to have been unexpected even by the great ancient hero.
– What about this?
A clear look of embarrassment.
I don’t know?
As expected, the divine sword vision has nothing to do with this ancestor…
– How can you gain the power of the source!?
…What do you mean?
– Do you think I’ll give up just because of that?
The white energy that came with more force along with the ancestor’s voice whose meaning was unknown began to push his force again.
In nature, the power of pushing is replaced by quantity.
And unfortunately for Logan, it definitely worked. I once again felt very regretful about half the power I had used up in the ruins.
‘then.’
Crack.
The moment the decision was made, the characteristic ‘up’ was activated, and Logan’s force, which was amplified more than twice in an instant, neutralized the pure white energy that was once again digging in.
But even so, it wasn’t enough.
– No way!
Along with the evil voice ringing in his mind, an enormous amount of energy poured out and began to pressure Logan’s force little by little again.
Even though the trait has been activated, you are slowly being pushed back.
‘Damn it…’
Logan gritted his teeth in desperation without realizing it, and suddenly a strange memory began to come to mind.
– I will definitely do it. Just wait and see! Those of you who despised me will be placed under my feet!
A man shouting while looking at the sky.
It was definitely a sight that was not his memory.
Nevertheless, Logan was able to fully feel the humiliation, self-destruction, and anger that the man felt at the time.
So Logan was angry.
‘It’s not mine!’
It’s a completely different feeling than when I observed Gibrik Cassel’s life from the side. The feeling of being buried by him increased my sense of crisis.
But regardless of the sense of crisis, the assimilation process continued.
– I meet the greatest person under heaven.
under the sky.
The word itself was annoying.
– The only absolute ruler of the Holy Empire. 9 Meet the representative of the Minister.
deputy.
I am not like that.
The anger in the man’s chest began to eat away at Logan’s soul.
– Ouch!
– Please save me. Ugh.
– Oh mom!
The voices of dying children above the huge magic circle sounded like screams.
And from the top of the altar, I saw a vague image of myself looking down at the tragedy.
At that moment, Logan suddenly came to his senses.
Crack.
‘I’m not!!’
My self came back in an instant.
And in the memories of Gibrik Cassel, who was almost buried, Logan found a piece of possibility.
A person who has reached the peak of another path called magic.
– Young lives with potential. The power of that life….
One very small piece of the knowledge he had prepared for his ascension became Logan’s stepping stone.
A stepping stone sufficient to overcome the low wall that remained until the level of advancement.
Wooooow.
Under a flash of inspiration, the heart’s force core spewed out another core. At the same time, the power that was lacking exploded like an explosion.
The white energy that had spread widely to encroach on Logan’s body suddenly rushed into his mind.
‘late.’
Flashing.
In an instant, the amplified power drove away all of Gibrik Cassel’s energy.
– Oh, no!
“Okay!”
For the first time, my voice came out of my mouth.
And at that moment, Logan realized that he had definitely regained control of his body.
Ugh.
In addition, I could clearly feel the seven cores vibrating in my heart, but right now I was not in a situation where I could fully appreciate the joy of gratuitousness that had elevated my existence.
Because in the pure white space that was breaking up before my eyes, Gibrik Cassel’s soul began to vaguely take shape again.
– This can’t be happening. How could this be…
That vain expression felt disgusting.
“You have become so ugly, ancestor. Please follow the natural course and leave now.
There is no doubt that he is a hero who saved the human race from near extinction.
Logan tried to maintain courtesy until the end.
I wonder if that stimulated the ancestor’s spirit.
A devastated expression . The light of Izzy returned to the eyes of Gibrick Cassel, who was muttering.
He looked at Logan and suddenly asked.
– Let me ask you one last question.
“Hmm?”
– How could the force change?
“There is also a vision that you don’t know about. That is. There are infinite possibilities in the power of the Force that you ignored.”
Even though he knew the vision of the divine sword, he did not recognize it.
That is how Logan accepted Jibrik Cassel’s mistake.
In fact, the human knights who began using the Force in the ancient times when he existed were not like that. Because I saw in his memories that he didn’t have much power.
But
– Don’t be funny! It’s a vision, and it doesn’t make sense to change one’s essence!
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Logan was just genuinely confused. –
Does it make sense that the person involved does not know? The power of life has changed! The
burning heat in the red eyes of the fading soul has become more intense.
– You originally used the force of yellow light with the aptitude of an earth spirit. It wasn’t this golden force! It means the essence has changed! What on earth have you done!?
Ha?
‘It’s not the divine sword vision, it’s the color of the force?’
Logan was just taken aback by the unexpected and outrageous explanation.
As he returned, he felt that his Force was a little brighter than before, but he didn’t think the change was that important.
The fact that the color of the Force had nothing to do with its power. It has already been proven over a long period of time.
I had similar thoughts when I heard about the theory of the Cassel Magic Tower being a reflection of ‘talent’ through Victor. The reason
I am almost unaffected by the magic of the Cassel Magic Tower is thanks to the divine sword vision, and it is thanks to the vision of the divine sword that Viktor and Ronnie The reason Ahn was affected was because his level was lower than his.
But now, isn’t the spirit of the ancestor telling a completely different story?
“Are you saying that it was the power of the Force itself that resisted your power? “Isn’t it because of the divine sword vision?”
Even though the word “divine sword vision” was mentioned for the first time, the spirit of the ancestor did not react.
No, rather, it ignored it.
– Vision? Hmph! Trivial force techniques are out of the question! It’s a matter of essence. ! How can ordinary force resist divinity?… Ha!? You? You really don’t know anything!
A bewildered expression.
I couldn’t agree with the statement that the divine sword vision was insignificant, but at least the person concerned seemed serious about his soul. It was the most sincere expression since they had met face-to-face.
Seeing that appearance, a fundamental doubt arose in Logan’s heart.
But
– what kind of people could get their hands on my work…
For now, dealing with this person comes first.
Logan’s heart sank coldly again as he looked at himself and got angry while talking about his work.
Wow.
“My descendants will look after you on the way.”
As his level increased, the side effects of using the trait were alleviated.
According to Logan’s will. The golden aura accelerated the collapse of the pure white space,
a destruction that truly proved that the auror user’s understanding of the highest level of space had become perfect. As a result, Gibrik Kassel’s soul began to fade rapidly.
– I will never give up like this…
“Get out of here, ancestor.”
Wajangchang.
At the end of Logan’s words, the white space disappeared along with the feeling that everything was exploding.
Soon, a gray square appeared before Logan’s eyes again.
And that moment.
Crispy!
A sword stuck upside down on the altar.
The shining bead on the pommel of the holy sword Vanitas shattered with a small noise.
At the same time, Logan could clearly see that the divine energy that the holy sword was emitting from his entire body was rapidly disappearing.
“Vanitas… ha, that’s what it meant.”
An ancient word meaning false vanity.
I felt like I finally understood the meaning of a name that was too strange to be given to a holy sword.
“Now…”
The question still remained.
Questions about Shingeom’s vision and that the essence of what Gibrik Cassel said has changed.
However, both of them are only light problems compared to the gravity of the reality that must be solved in the future. In any case, resolving that question doesn’t mean we can win the war against the empire.
‘Kassel Magic Tower. ‘Do they even know?’
Of course, I couldn’t let go of that uncomfortable feeling right away.
But for now.
“You have to focus on reality.”
Fortunately, I stepped into the highest level more easily than I thought. Aside from my teacher, I now had the confidence to deal with that sword spirit, Tris Hornsby.
Aside from the proud sense of accomplishment, the feeling that the power to stop the empire was gradually building up was reassuring.
But something to think about right now.
“What should I do with that sword?”
A holy sword whose sacred power has disappeared.
Seeing this, Logan’s eyes calmed down again.
