Episode 79
“Lee Lee…”
A woman shuddered.
She was wearing a black goatskin, and her arms and legs were like those of a beast.
Puppet Merrill.
The culprit who hid in the dark and caused chaos in the kingdom until now.
His dark-shaded eyes trembled, and soon he vomited bright red blood.
“Cuck!”
Even if it was not the body, the punishment inflicted directly by the god was severe.
It’s like a counterattack after putting on too much overload.
After coughing up blood for a while, she managed to raise her head as if she had barely come to her senses.
“The barely gathered souls…”
A disastrous result.
For a very long time, she was intent on corrupting the kingdom.
He put his heart and soul into the kingdom little by little and even succeeded in intervening in the selection of warriors.
There haven’t been any major problems so far.
yes there.
But why the hell… ….
“Who the hell is that guy?”
Mikhail Walpurgis.
It appeared out of nowhere and completely ruined the plan in an instant.
The premise of her plans so far is the corruption of the Church.
However, that premise collapsed.
As if he expected it from the beginning, he sees through all the infiltrating demons, and besides… ….
‘Even a part of him was removed.’
Did you underestimate the things about Hekau too much?
The existence must have intervened.
No matter how smart and talented a mage is, it’s next to impossible to annihilate a part of a demon so easily.
‘…Details.’
she reached out
Suddenly, the huge sheep behind her opened its mouth.
Then, a demon fell from its mouth, covered in slime.
A pitch-black demon with no visible traits.
“Heh heh… …It
gasped and breathed heavily for a while before raising its head hastily.
“Up above, the great Mei…”
“Shut up.”
Mimic demon Lotus.
Originally, it should have been destroyed when Hekau descended from the temple.
However, Merrill stole it.
“Thank you. Thanks to a great man, my life… …”
“Spare your life?”
Mayril smirked in a nonsensical voice.
Does he know where he got his affection for his subordinates and stole them away?
“What is that….”
That moment.
Poo-wook.
“…Creepy?”
“Your memory is useful. Not worth destroying Your humble life is not important.”
Lotus looked at the harpoon that had pierced his chest with trembling eyes.
Because you know.
What does it mean for Meyril to take out ‘memories’?
Unable to live or die, it is literally dismantled minute by second and writhing in endless pain.
“Come on, have mercy! Please just… …! Please, please!”
“Your request is meaningless.”
I just want to go through my memory and analyze the things about Mikhail Walpurgis as soon as possible.
‘I’ll kill you next time.’
With only hostility and intent to kill, Mayril’s eyes flashed.
and after that.
“Ah ah ah ah!!”
Lotus’ screams of despair echoed endlessly in the darkness.
* * *
Once the case is closed.
“I plan to step down as a candidate for the hero.”
That night Siegfried suddenly came to me.
What the hell was he worrying about, he was a completely crippled moron.
“What the hell is wrong with you, so you’re like that?”
If excessive self-confidence was the problem before the regression, this time, self-esteem was excessively low.
what is this supposed to do
At my words, Siegfried giggled and covered his head.
“Hehehe…It has no choice but to be. I thought I barely knew what to do.”
“….”
“The past where I came this far. It’s all been denied. To become a hero No, before that… …Everything from the moment it was picked up by Archbishop Killian.”
“Your brother?”
“You didn’t see it. no.”
The boy stared blankly into space with his messy hair and said.
“…I didn’t see it.”
“is it.”
“I was wrong. Edda was right. That I was wrong to the point of despair… …I found out that I was a nuisance to that child, but what the hell did I have to worry about… …“
Then don’t look.”
I have no intention of saying anything more.
I’ll take care of it.
Anyway, with this opportunity, this guy was completely stripped of his qualifications as a hero.
It is certain that I will become a warrior.
If so, it would be safe to say that the possibility of this guy causing problems, like before the regression, has decreased considerably now.
“Then why did you come to me? Did you come here to make these useless complaints?”
“It’s a complaint… …Well, Sir, you don’t have good feelings for me. understand How can you have good feelings when such an idiot speaks up about his beliefs?”
There was no sign of sarcasm.
As much as my self-esteem was very strong before, the shock must be considerable.
‘It must have been too much to handle in a short period of time.’
how will we do it.
It doesn’t matter if you leave it as it is.
I remembered the countless tragedies that had been caused by him before returning.
either intentionally or unintentionally.
There’s no way it’s gone from my head.
But at the same time, am I being overly swayed by the memories before the regression?
To the point of forgetting even the most important things.
‘It’s changing.’
really everything.
If so, wouldn’t it be right for me to move in line with that change as well?
past future.
It may be impossible to forget, but all beings in this world except for me are different from before returning.
haha. It’s not even funny.
When I think of that, bitterness rises from the depths of my heart.
“Archbishop Cillian will spend the rest of his life in prison for aligning himself with the devil. I probably don’t have the mind to do that, but… …Originally, I should have done the same.”
“so?”
“…Kyung hates me. If it was the influence that they are currently spreading over the kingdom, it would have been possible to imprison me. But why the hell… …“
Why are you asking for mercy?
he saw me
I thought for a moment about how to answer.
“The essence of a hero is salvation.”
“…!”
“It just followed its essence.”
“ah.”
At my words, Siegfried’s eyes widened.
Then he slumped down in his seat.
“Ha ha ha, indeed it was. That’s why he’s an extraordinary hero.”
I looked at him and asked.
“Let me ask you one thing. Was Archbishop Killian all of your life?”
“that…That was not it.”
“Well, the old man’s breath must have caused you to make such a fuss about becoming a hero, but let’s look at it a little more fundamentally.”
Except for the warrior.
As an individual named Siegfried.
“What are you other than a hero?”
“…!”
“If you are not a hero, there is no meaning? That thought makes no more sense. Don’t look at me funny, kid. Shouldn’t it be a warrior? That is an insult to the people who are struggling to see you.”
In any case, the Holy Knights did not abandon this guy. He probably wouldn’t abandon the Holy Knights either.
Because he was such a character.
“Do it yourself. What happens to you in the future is none of my business.”
“….”
“Aren’t you pitiful for those who cling to making you human?”
At my words, Siegfried’s body trembled. If I knew what to do, I would do anything.
Set asked as he turned his back.
[Will it change to that one?]
“I don’t know.”
I don’t know exactly how it will change, but I think it’s probably not in a negative direction.
[How can you be sure of that?]
“Because there is a Hekau.”
Unlike before, if there is something abnormal, you can make it very clear.
“First of all, that guy is also a paladin, but if he hadn’t been rehabilitated, he wouldn’t have been struck by lightning and died.”
[…] ….]
At my words, Set looked at me quietly.
The expression that I want to say something, but I won’t.
what why
whatever.
* * *
Another week passed.
In the meantime, a lot of things happened.
Archbishop Killian’s faction has completely collapsed.
There were not a few reorganizations, and there were several more heresy trials.
The church went back busily.
The priests and archbishops who were separated in the process were not the only ones related to Archbishop Killian.
Even if it wasn’t related to him, there was a place where it rotted.
So many things have changed.
And the warrior selection ceremony.
As long as Siegfried gave up his qualifications as a hero, being selected as a hero is a definite matter.
The selection ceremony took place right away.
There was no reason to delay, so in that short time, the news was delivered to the surrounding countries and the capital of the country was decorated to match the selection ceremony.
[…] …Wow, that’s really fast.]
Seth stuck out his tongue and looked at the crowd in front of me.
Everyone was watching me, filling the vast plaza.
“You are welcome.”
The pope spoke while wearing a pure white robe with no blemishes.
“A lot of things happened. There were so many of them. The damned have finally revealed their teeth once again.”
At those words, the surroundings became agitated.
“In the future, the world will not be the same as before. There may be a lot of confusion and problems that shouldn’t happen.”
Listening to the Pope, I looked around. and clicked his tongue
‘…father.’
My father was looking at me with his arms crossed.
Hehe, my son is doing well.
As a magician, you did a great job feeding the kingdom!
It was obvious that he was saying something like that on the inside.
It’s been a while since I’ve been with the butler.
“…However, God did not stand by the tragedy that befell us and sent His representative.”
By then the pope’s speech was almost over.
“Mikhail Walpurgis.”
I quietly stepped forward.
Wearing the saint’s robe, which was the symbol of the first hero, and wearing the saint’s pendant around his neck.
Besides, a staff in one hand.
“Huh…“Wizards are warriors…”
…“
It’s probably a sight you’ve never seen before.
Until now, the hero was known as a knight, and he used a shining holy sword and shield.
“God has come upon you. Do you swear to do your duty as a warrior?”
“I swear.”
After that, formal promises to prove the qualifications of the warriors came and went.
after all that
The Pope reverently and slowly placed the crown on my head.
warrior’s crown.
Now, Kyoguk will become my absolute ally and support me.
at the same time.
Not even the kingdom alliances or even the empire will be able to completely ignore my request.
That’s how much a warrior is worth.
‘Before the return, Siegfried was here.’
I gently turned my head.
This time he was standing where I stood before.
The atmosphere changed a bit.
Maybe in the meantime, he might have found an answer in his own way.
I slowly got up and listened to the staff.
then that moment.
Hwaaak!
A bright light came down from the sky.
It’s like being prepared from the start.
God’s grace that strikes the depths of a person’s soul.
“Oh my God!”
“God bless you!”
The people wrapped in the light trembled with emotion.
[Hekau put a lot of effort into it. This level might still be a bit of a burden.]
“It’s a moment worth it.”
Isn’t it the moment that raises a person’s faith to the maximum?
Looking at the scene, I thought.
‘This is the beginning.’
Seeing the cheering people, I made up my mind once again.
…okay.
Now you have really taken one step towards your goal.
I was very happy with that fact.
Great mage who transcends by regression
