Chapter 277 – Throwing Off the Arrogance (4)

“Who are you?”

It took me a really long time to come up with this question. Seriously, my whole body trembles even now, even after I said it out of my mouth.

The fact that Do-jin might not be human had been guessed from the beginning. It is impossible for mere humans to endure the blessings bestowed by God.

So, this question was a question that could destroy all relationships with Dojin. Do-jin is actually a god who came down to earth because he was bored with heavenly work, and he could return to heaven again saying that his true identity his was discovered.

“Suddenly, what are you talking about again?”

“I realized that Dojin-nim is not an ordinary human being. That he would not be the one who originally lived on this land….”

“… How?”

Surprisingly, the saintess’ guess was correct. She felt her heart break. She struggles to swallow her tears as she realizes that now that she has destroyed her relationship with her with her own hands, she has no right to be sad because of that.

Trembling so much, the saintess bowed her head and greeted someone who was not on earth.

“I salute you again. She is said to be Iris, who was loved by Arcana and was chosen as her saint. Perhaps, could I ask for a name that is known on earth?”

“…… What?”

Only at this time Do-jin realized that she misunderstood something about her. Seeing her so misunderstood, but seeing her so timid, makes her want to play a joke.

She did Dojin smiled and grabbed Iris by the waist and pulled.

“It is my name.”
“Yes… It’s embarrassing.”
“It’s Dojin.”
“Dojin-nim… Uh, yes?”
“I came to meet you from that planet.”

When I recited the line that I had secretly heard in a drama, Iris asked about Dojin’s identity his.

“Aren’t you the one who came down from heaven?”
“It looks like it came from outer space.”
“It is not God.”
“He is a man with a beating heart.”
“… Won’t you leave me?”

Dojin hugged her without saying anything and kissed her on the lips. As the startled saintess made her dumbfounded expression, she opened her mouth quietly.

“Where are you leaving this pretty saintess?”

Iris finally burst into tears.
Do-jin thought her own lines were poor and started to stump her.

* * *

After a long time had passed, the saintess sobbed and wiped away the tears.

“I, I must have thought that Dojin-nim was a god who came down to play….”

“Why not?”

“You just said that, you are not from this land….”

At those words, Dojin remembered what he had said. I wondered if that could be interpreted that way.

After thinking about her for a while, Do-jin finally decided to tell her about his secret her.

“I am from another world.”
“Another world… Are you a person?”

While the saintess tilted her head as if asking what that was, Do-jin explained in detail what it meant for her to be a person from another world.

She told me that there is another world called Earth, and that she came from there.

She didn’t understand that it was Earth, or that there were other worlds other than this world. Iris quietly nodded her head.

“This is an interesting story. Can you tell me a little bit more?”
“Of course.”
“Well, I’d like to hear it alone, if possible…….”

Saying that, Iris looked at the other two. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to talk today.

It was because she had come to hear about the god she met in the dungeon.

So Do-jin, who made a separate appointment later, turned to Iris and asked if she knew anything about dungeons.

“Well, the history books say it’s something that happened naturally…….”
“Natural Occurrence? That’s not even funny.”

And Athanasius, who had heard that, intervened in the conversation beside her, bursting into laughter.

What kind of cosmic mysteries are needed to naturally generate underground dungeons with monsters holding magical stones in their bodies?

And why does it grow just by entering and exiting the dungeon and killing monsters?

“You are lucky.”
“Are you lucky?”
“It is bliss to be here at leisure.”

As Athanasius said, she spread her hands wide. A huge magic circle enveloped them, and soon it began to glow as if it were about to explode.

“Now, look. This is history, this is the truth.”

After a while, light enveloped them.

* * *

When he came to his senses his, Do-jin realized that he was floating in the sky. It was a very familiar situation.

When he is extremely concentrated, when he reaches ecstasy. When the body and mind are separated due to out-of-body.

Now was just such a case.

─Kyaaaaagh!?

When I looked around, I saw the saintess who was unable to control her body and began to spin around in a ghost state, and Charlotte, who struggled to maintain her composure but could not see the floor and was trembling.

─Tsk tsk, what are you afraid of? It’s all hallucinations. Hallucination.

Athanasius said so and she bruised the two of them. However, even if she knew it was fake, it was a very difficult thing to tell her not to tremble at the sight of real hallucinations, since it is human beings that she is afraid of.

Eventually, Athanasius gave them bodies. While she muttered that it was a useless waste of magical power.

“Oh, okay. Now I can step on the ground…”
“Saint?”
“Char, Charles! Why are you naked!?”
“… I’m not the only one naked.”

When Charlotte pointed that out, Iris immediately looked down at her body. She was also naked. She then glared at her eyes as she found Dojin standing there naked as well as herself.

Seeing her husband’s naked body for the first time. It was so irritating that blood rushed to her face. Did the big thing down there embody his penis as it is?

It’s way too big for what it looks like. I am worried about whether I will be able to enter her virgin body….

“… What, why are you all naked?”

Do-jin, who confirmed that his body had returned belatedly, realized that everyone here was naked and asked why.

Upon hearing that question, Athanasius frowned and asked again.

“Hero, if you ask a question just because you want to look stupid— that’s great. You had the ability to control a woman’s thoughts with just words.”

“No… I really didn’t know, so I asked.”

“Tsk, making a body is a waste of magic, so why bother making clothes?”

Although Athanasius had said so, in fact, a little of her sexuality was added to this act.

If you make a body, there is no need to reproduce it with the same body as the real body. There is no reason to perfectly embody the naked body that would not have been hidden by clothes.

The fact that she created a body that perfectly embodied her nakedness was a projection of her desire her to stand naked in front of Dojin.

“Anyway – see. That one.”

In case that fact was discovered, Atanasia quickly pointed down there.

Do-jin turned her head downward and looked down at her ground her with a serious expression.

Giants hundreds of meters in size, dragons that fly and breathe in the sky, humans that run dozens of meters in an instant, and monsters that destroy the ground.

There was a continuous fight so fierce that he could promise that if he fell on that battlefield, he would die without lasting even a minute.

“I don’t remember exactly, but…… It was tens of thousands of years ago.”
“… Memories from tens of thousands of years ago?”
“Okay.”

It was a time of war. An era in which countless monsters and superhumans, divine beasts and demon beasts, and gods and demon kings compete for supremacy.

Unsurprisingly, the endless battle puts a great burden on both sides as well as on the world.

The gods with the greatest power believed that it was necessary to defeat the demon king in order to stop this fight.

“At this time, the gods gathered their strength and attacked the demon king.”

The Demon King was a very powerful being. A being that would dominate all monsters, stand above all monsters, and destroy everything.

And, the gods who gathered their strength to defeat the demon king cut the body of the demon king into pieces.

They took out their hearts, pulled out their brains, severed their limbs and sealed them in various places.

The gods built an endless dungeon above the sealed body of the demon king, and imprisoned the monsters who followed the demon king in it.

Then, he instructed the humans who followed him to prevent monsters from escaping from the dungeon.

Humans obeyed God’s command and entered the dungeon and repeated the hunt.

Then one day, the hunting humans realized two things.
First, the fact that magic stones come from monsters.
Second, people who hunt like that become superhumans who surpass ordinary humans.

“That…….”
“Yeah- you know that well.”

When Do-jin realized the identity and looked at Atanasia, she smiled and told him the identity of her.

“It’s a dungeon.”

The identity of the dungeon he had been hunting so hard was actually the corpse of a demon king who died a long time ago.

It was Do-jin who realized the truth that was not left in the history books, but honestly, I didn’t feel much.

Even if it was the corpse of a god, not the demon king, he wouldn’t have cared.

But the other two were not. Two people who are close to God and therefore know a few secrets of the world.

“… The dungeon is the corpse of the demon king?”

“Okay.”

“No, then why did the gods hide this fact?”

“Hiding?”

“We have to announce the fact that the dungeon is the Demon Lord and block access from the general public to seal it… !”

“Tens of thousands of years. Stupid Couldn’t there have been someone like Jeong Park who thought the same way as you?”

Athanasius said so and turned back time. Thousands of years accelerate. As the saintess said, a force appears that monopolizes the dungeon and maintains the seal.

At this time, since the gods had already ascended to the heavens, they would not have been able to use their hands directly.

Thus, the Demon King got a chance to break the seal without any hindrance.

─עולם חזרתילהרוס!

The demon king who released the seal was resurrected and made the world shake, and the mantra he shot went beyond the world and went beyond the universe.

“At that time, thanks to the resurrected demon king, all the dragons and giants who remained on the ground died.”

“… Then why is there only humanity left on earth?”

“All the guys who wanted to be a little stronger died at that time.”

The saintess said that and nodded her head. She realized she didn’t leave the dungeon alone because God was stupid.

Do-jin pondered something as he watched the demon king below grabbing the dragon’s head and ripping off the giant’s arm.

Match-!

“So far.”

But even thinking about it for a while, Athanasius clapped his hands and broke the magic.

After returning to reality, they silently chewed on the truth of history they had just seen.
