Chapter 793,
Chapter 196. Big Snake Ameris (2)
When Jin suddenly lowered his head and bowed, Ameris cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed for a moment. Hedo followed Jin and bowed his head to Ameris.
[Hmmmm yes. Also, my eyes weren’t wrong. They are not of very poor quality.]
“I will formally introduce myself again. I am Jin Runkandel, the head of the Barmal Union and the minor head of the 59th Runkandel.”
“I’m a member of the Bamal Union… Executive? Jin Am I an executive?”
“If Sir Hedo is not an officer, who else would be an officer?”
“but. yes. What is the correct job title?”
“Well, to the extent of being the chief of staff.”
“It’s okay. I am Hedo, the chief of staff of the Barmal Union and the butler serving Lady Sandra. As I said before, there is no last name.”
Ameris smiled as if the two were cute.
[Sandra seems to be pointing to one of the kids outside the pit. A somewhat eccentric child and a calm child. Which of the two is it? Surely it’s not a cat?]
She was accurately aware of the existence of Valeria’s group, who were stationed ten miles away.
“The former.”
[It must have been a lot of trouble. However, thanks to that child, you didn’t fall even though you had that kind of power.]
Hedo couldn’t figure out the meaning of the words, but just nodded.
A moment of silence passed. Ameris seemed lost in thought, retracing her own vague memories.
[…Then you should tell me who this body is. It took me a while to recall my memories. This body is an immortal born with the unfortunate fate of Ameris. When I was awake, mortals called me a big snake.]
“You’re not a dragon.”
[Not very unrelated to dragons. They are like distant descendants of me.]
“…Did you say distant descendants?”
No one knows exactly when dragons appeared in the world. Even the dragons did not know their beginnings. They only know that ‘they were created by their own gods’.
According to Ameris, Jin and Hedo just learned an old secret of the world.
[Yes. Now that we’ve introduced each other, I’d like to ask you a question. You said you were in a position to block the resurrection of the sun god, but why did you covet the underworld protected by this body?
We’re at odds with them, and we recently learned that there may be a gate to the Pandemonium here. Can I explain the situation you are in right now?”
[Let’s listen.]
For a while, Jin told Ameris about royalties.
It was about the ‘monster’ that started appearing in the Geomhwang Temple. After the disappearance of Gleec, an explanation of the Sun God, which is presumed to be behind the incident of the birth of the Goddess, followed. Naturally, the composition of the great powers was also included.
Ameris groaned, occasionally experiencing severe headaches as she listened attentively to Jin’s story. It was a headache caused by repeated memories coming up, sinking, jumbled together.
“…and excavation was only to confirm the reality. There was too little information about the sun god, so I thought I would be able to respond more flexibly to enemies if I knew something. To be honest, I didn’t expect it at all, but this is how I met Ameris-nim.”
After the explanation, Ameris slowly nodded.
[I see… I roughly understood your position. It’s nothing compared to before this body falls asleep, but the ground is in a pretty dizzy situation.]
“When did you fall asleep?”
[I don’t remember the exact time. However, earlier you said that the year is now 1803, and that the Myungwang clan, which made great contributions to defeating the evil spirits, perished 50,000 years ago. Solderlet managed to seal the 77 and keep them alive.]
“That’s right.”
[It is clear that I fell asleep much earlier than 50,000 years ago. When this world was divided into two halves, I received the fate of guarding the boundary and fell asleep while fighting.]
The ‘fate of guarding the boundary’ that Ameris spoke of was not just about blocking those who seek the underworld.
Her destiny was to keep the underground and the surface from mixing.
[It was after the death of Kingelo, the sun god, that this world was divided into above and below ground. At that time, the ones you call demons were sent to the underground, and the humans and other creatures were sent to the ground.]
“Why shouldn’t those two mix?”
[Because that is the new order. The sun god died and the perfect world he presided over disappeared.]
The perfect world.
The Sun Gods that Jin had seen so far had the belief that the world would become perfect once the Sun God was resurrected. Jin and Hedo thought about that and continued to listen to Ameris.
[However, there were those who could not bear the sense of loss given by the world that had passed from perfection to imperfection. Naturally, they couldn’t accept the new order. The old order that goes astray the more you try to restore the damage to the causal law caused by beings who escape the given destiny of birth and death. because of those factors. Such people naturally gathered together and began to pray for the resurrection of the sun god.]
“That must be the beginning of the Sun God religion. Ameris-nim was to prevent such people from finding the underground.”
[Yes. But not all of me was like that. Some of the heads of this body dreamed of reviving the sun god.]
Ameris revealed that her head was originally nine. A great nine-headed snake A mysterious being that can often find similar elements in the mythology of any continent.
[I had to fight those heads too. I remember killing one out of a total of five, and one was killed by the Myungwang family. I don’t know about the other three. There has been no activity so far, so it must have already disappeared or it must be below this body, but I can’t feel any energy right now.] ”
Then, how about the rest of the heads who opposed the resurrection of the sun god…”
[Four heads, including me. This body is in front of you, and two of the other three were also killed by the Myungwang family at that time. I hope the one remaining head remains underground somewhere.]
From Ameris’ point of view, her head was sort of divided into good and evil. The five who want to resurrect the sun god are evil and the opposite is good. The head, whose death was not confirmed, was one of the three good in evil.
[What mortals call dragons was formed from the death of my heads. With that fragment, the newly born immortals at the time formed a dragon.]
“A newly born immortal? Wait, then Ameris-sama… has existed for a longer time than the beings now called gods?”
[Recite the names of the gods you know.]
When Jin said all the names of the gods he knew, Ameris shrugged.
[Except for Solderlet and Clam, all of them are immortals I don’t know about. However, since my memory is not perfect, there may be people who know me among them.]
“We woke up from that kind of Ameris-
sama….” . And to talk a little more about Solderlet, he is the immortal who taught me swordsmanship.] As
soon as Jin heard that, he realized why Ameris’s swordsmanship was oddly familiar.
As Solderlet’s contractor, she subconsciously sensed his traces. Looking at Ameris’ swordsmanship.
“Solderett taught himself swordsmanship… Were you close to him?”
[He was an immortal who conformed to the new order of the world. Of course he would have been very close to me. When he reminded me of the joy of the object called the sword, the memories of being very happy are clear. You said you were his contractor.]
“Yes.”
[Perhaps it is not a coincidence that you met this body today, but fate.]
“That would be nice. In the first place, Ameris-nim and we have the same intention, so in the future we will have to help each other. By the way, Miss Ameris.”
[Speak.]
“There is one part of what you said that is difficult to understand. It’s about the Myeongwang family.”
[Do you wonder why they murdered all my heads of different minds?]
“Yes.”
[Simple story. The Myungwang clan at the time… From your point of view, you can call them the ancient Myungwang clan. The ancient Myungwang clan, like all other mortals, was divided in power. Those who want to resurrect the sun god and those who want to stop it.]
“Of course it seemed like that.”
[The ancient Myeongwang family were the only beings who could cross the ground and the underground by their own will at the time. Of course, every time that happened, I had to endure a fierce battle with this body, but sometimes even I had to avoid the fight. They were mortals who were endowed with too much power.]
Ameris did not directly explain her inaction, but Jin clearly assumed that she in the past had powers that were on a different level than she is now. In the first place, even now, she only engaged in ‘swordsmanship sparring’ with Jin Hedo, but her true identity was not revealed.
“Give me… Is there someone else who shared power with the ancient Myungwang family?”
[Kingelo, the sun god. The reason why the ancient Myeongwang clan was so strong was because the sun god’s biggest thought dwelled in them. Because of this, they were divided into those who wanted to resurrect the sun god for greater power and those who wanted to accept the new world.]
That was a secret secret that even the Myeongwang family in Lapra Rosa did not know. There was a disconnected and obliterated history between the ancient Myeongwang clan, as Ameris said, and the current Myeongwang clan.
[Perhaps the Myungwang clan, who became brothers with you, are the descendants of the latter. If the electrons had remained so far, the ground would have already been reduced to ashes. Mortals imbued with the thoughts of the sun god naturally tend to destroy the earth. Hedo, there are beings like you who can withstand temptation without falling.]
“Ameris-nim. Are you saying that I also have the thoughts of the sun god?”
[Where did the monstrous strength you must have had from birth come from? If you grew up wrong, you would probably have become a great villain whose name will remain in the history of the earth. The sun god’s thoughts lead the target to the fate of falling into madness and destroying the ground. To find an altar in the underworld and beyond.]
