Episode 201
An existence that does not know whether it is a human or a beast.
A spell created by a witch.
Bizarre chimeras with human heads and limbs attached to beasts.
The eyes of Colius and his party, who annihilated them and advanced, were filled with disgust.
“It’s because of these people that the empire pursued a policy of eradicating heterogeneous people.”
Due to the existence of demonic beasts, the different races are treated the same as them.
The different races usually have the appearance of a beast or have something similar to their strength, so to ordinary humans, they are no different from witches.
So the empire exterminates them.
“Anyway, the imperial bastards are filthy and uncivilized. The level of intelligence is still insufficient.”
“Because the empire is trying to conquer the continent by enshrining Lord Lactus as the sole god.”
The policy of eradicating heterogeneous people is like a side bridge for a great nation.
For the Empire, it was best to make external enemies in order to unite the nobility of various countries that had been merged in a short period of time.
Chew.
“I don’t know, I hate to hear it. such as the state of the empire. No, but that’s how I don’t understand. Why do you go and live in such a gloomy basement?”
Kwajik!
Esther and Ailee slash their heads with Junis, who presses down the beast with a shield.
And Colleas, who claimed to be the guide at the forefront, answered her question.
“You must have doubts.”
“question?”
“A question about God.”
“Ah, you mean you crawled here to avoid God’s eyes?”
Yes.
out of the eyes of God.
Fallen people resent God.
because it was abandoned.
When you witnessed the God you had longed for and devoted your whole life to.
They are saddened or angry at the attitude of a god different from their own.
It is very easy for faith to change to new death.
Because people want to be rewarded.
A warm word.
They wouldn’t have fallen if they had only been given a touch or a ray of light.
However, that is also not God’s will.
God wants them to fall.
“God wants you to fall… Colius. Please refrain from talking like that in front of other people. They will consider you betrayed.”
Startled, Esther widened her eyes, Junice laughed, and Callius silently nodded.
“Don’t let that happen.”
“How do you know that?”
“It won’t matter.”
Whether God wants to fall
Whether the fall hopes for God.
Colius is not interested in the love and hatred for the god he cannot let go of even after he has fallen.
What’s important is the owner and the princess here.
“Do you know about Beria?”
“I know what I know and I don’t know what I don’t know.”
“What do I know about?”
“Tell me.”
Junice glanced at Esther, let out a sneer, and answered.
“A witch who killed the prince of a country and became a criminal, but confined herself to the bottom of the basement even after making a great contribution to the country.”
“And a self-corrupted witch.”
When Ailee helped answer, Callius shook his head and Esther asked back.
“What does it mean to be corrupted by yourself?”
“What are the causes of the Fall?”
Let’s look at Esther and talk. she answers.
“It is the corruption of divinity.”
Corruption of divine power given by God.
Absence of faith that no longer believes in God.
that is the fall
“Normally.”
That’s common sense about the current fall.
Those who do not believe in God and deny Him.
Those who serve the devil and do evil.
But isn’t there something strange?
Whether you believe in God or not.
Even if you have faith, there are times when you inevitably do evil.
When you cut off the breath of a comrade who is in pain waiting for the day to die on the battlefield.
How many people can turn a blind eye to the screams of an old man suffering from illness and screaming to be killed?
Even if you commit killing for the sake of someone else, killing is killing.
Killing is judged as evil.
So are they evil too? Is it a fall?
no.
There is no perfect good or evil in this world.
It’s just a concept drawn by human standards.
If a lion bites and kills a rabbit, that would not be a legitimate killing.
Killing an enemy on the battlefield is just what you need for your own comfort.
I only used the means for the purpose.
Is there good or evil in it?
It’s just what you have to do.
Good and evil are determined by humans, not gods.
“Then self-corruption means…”
“Generally, the devil and corruption are equated. But if you look at it correctly, the two are different.”
The difference between the devil and the fall is divided into whether or not they have seen God.
Due to the difference, their power varies from several times to dozens of times.
This is a natural result.
“Because corruption is the weapon itself.”
They have a human-like appearance, but they are not human.
To be precise, it is a weapon.
A weapon abandoned by the gods.
that’s the fall
“But she has never seen God.”
“!”
So is it the devil? no.
Beria’s modifier is 『Whispering Corruption』
A witch who has fallen without even seeing God.
He deceived God and corrupted himself.
“If I meet Beria…”
Standing tall.
As soon as he finished speaking, his feet stopped.
[Calius von Zervan.]
A voice echoed throughout the catacombs.
A voice that is low for a woman’s timbre, but has its own light resonance.
A witch who appeared in the terrible darkness as if she were her own child, wearing a black robe from among the hideous monsters.
“Do you know me?”
[There’s no way I don’t know about the rumors of the idiots that have reached the catacombs.]
Are you saying that such a story is heard here as well? Laughter comes out of nowhere.
[Why did I set foot on my land?]
“Didn’t you call me?”
[I called?]
The witch tilted her head as if wondering.
“I looked at where the rain of demonic beasts were coming from, and they came from here. Isn’t that why you called me? The hospitality of guests is very generous.”
[…that’s not it. I also only responded to your wishes. I have never called.]
“My wish?”
[Didn’t you send it? A person who wants to fall.]
He was referring to Princess Rebecca.
Colius’ brow narrowed.
“Where is she?”
[Well, where did it go?]
“…Did you corrupt her.”
[That’s up to you. I’d love to hear what you think. would I have done that? Or did he curse at her for being cheeky and beat her to death? Or was it made into a demon? Did he turn into a demon? What is it?]
A voice as if playing a joke.
However, Callius was unaware of the blade contained within.
If you relax even for a moment, you will fall into her dazzle. Because the person who killed the Prince of Carpe with just a few words was right in front of his eyes.
“If the princess aroused your interest. You should have corrupted it.”
[Why do you think so?]
“It shouldn’t be that difficult. Because the witch’s sword is like that.”
witch’s sword.
When the rhyme was removed, Beria’s silence continued for quite some time.
Only the roaring sounds of the monsters knocking on the silence made us guess that time had not stopped.
[You sound like you know me quite well.]
“I only know that you are called mother. It is trivial.”
mother.
Demons and demons here.
And most depravity says she is their mother.
[…it’s trivial. The woman you sent gave up quite a bit just to know it, and you say it’s trivial. Did the one in your hand tell you?]
The iron lord in your hand.
mournful fall. It means Titeo.
“Well, because you’re such a blunt friend.”
[If you’ve been recognized for your sorrowful depravity, you’ll be more than qualified… Follow me.]
Suugh.
Hundreds of magical beasts parted ways as the witch turned her back.
“count.”
“Mr. Carliers.”
“Follow me, crazy? It could be a trap. Beria even lied to God.”
The moment you try to say it’s okay
[I didn’t say to come until the four years. Mares God watches over.]
“What is it? mare? Are you a bitch?”
“It seems to be sarcastic at chess pieces.”
[Rule Comparison. get rid of those bitches I’m going to die of noise.]
Kung! thump thump!!
giant physique. The weapons in each hand are different. The six arms attached to the six arms are all weapons made by gods.
“It’s the devil.”
A being that is neither human nor corrupted.
devil. Those who serve corruption, not gods.
“Come.”
“count! Callies!! Dangerous!”
“Okay.”
As he walked along, the beasts wrapped around and blocked the path he walked.
“Esther. You’d better worry about us now. Her favor seems to be limited to Colliers.”
“Even witches are bewitched by that top.”
Even the witch was possessed.
Esther’s lips burst into laughter at Junice’s words.
“Esther. Beria’s demon must have skills comparable to that of a master.”
“Let’s relax for the first time in a while.”
Woo-woo-woo-woo-deuk. Junice, who freed his head, charged straight ahead with his shield.
bang!
However, it was Junice who bounced back.
* * *
Swoop.
Darkness full of mist.
A witch walking alone in the center.
As I walked in her footsteps, the scenery around me changed before I knew it.
“It’s not like a graveyard.”
Ordinarily grown grass and grass.
The smell of trees and herbs abounds.
It was a space where even the illusion of being in an ordinary forest occurred.
Perhaps her own little groves and huts that she has built over hundreds of years.
[The Catacombs are just a laboratory for research. It’s not because my taste is unique.]
Seruk.
With the robe removed, her face was revealed.
Wavy dark blue hair, deep purple eyes and lips.
“What did the princess do?”
[Killed.]
Sweep.
In the direction he pointed, there was a woman’s body.
A corpse floated on top of a small pond.
Her face is pale and her lips are blue.
A sword was stuck in his chest.
The pond was stained red with her blood, and she was Princess Rebecca.
“He is dead.”
[Yes.]
“You must be meeting God by now.”
[Maybe.]
“What are you going to do by corrupting her?”
[Do you know why God corrupts us?]
“….”
[If you don’t like God, if you don’t want to stand by yourself, there’s no need to corrupt us and throw us from heaven to earth. It will be enough if it is destroyed.]
But God dares to throw it away.
Throws back the sword that was made for you for the rest of your life and drops it.
[First one]
Beria said while looking at her sword stuck in Rebecca.
[The first is for circulation.]
What will happen to this land if a saint for God falls?
They usually start slaughtering humans.
It is natural to unleash resentment and sadness toward God to everything around it.
The moment when all one’s life lived for God’s sake is denied.
The meaning of good and evil disappears from them, and only resentment against God is filled.
[The beings who were called saints like that are called corrupters and try hard to slaughter and kill humans who cry out to God.]
Beria pulled up her purple lips as if it was funny.
[Circulation. Humans do not settle for the mighty power of corruption, but cry out to God more and more and more yearn for God’s power. As a result, human strength grows over time. The power of the gods they worship.]
Isn’t it quite beneficial for the effect of a thrown sword?
[In the first place, the Dragon Demon War was just a slaughterhouse where corruption and dragons tried to kill humans. Do you know why the Balaur are trying to kill humans?]
“It’s because humans believe in God and then fall.”
[As expected.]
From the dragon’s point of view, which did not believe in God, humans themselves were an annoyance.
The slowly growing human power.
their strength. the existence of God. The scourge of corruption created by the gods would be irritating to dragons.
[The second one is…]
“It’s to make a weapon to fill yourself with. They’re just a sheath of swords.”
[Collection of swords…]
“Because they have to prove it.”
Like a blacksmith casting iron and beating it.
As if hitting and hitting harder.
They also deliberately quench the sword to make it stronger and sharper.
[…You take it for granted that I have devoted my whole life to finding out.]
Beria looked at him curiously and asked.
[Who are you?]
Looking at the invisible sky.
he replied.
“The person who asked the question.”
