Chapter 20 – 20. Spreading Wings and Leaving the Nest (2)
The story after obtaining information from Solias about a ‘holy object’ to heal Elizabeth, one of the survivors of the hero party.
Nevertheless, in the name of the world, the noble nobleman advanced to the Demon King’s Castle, revealing his aspiration to personally defeat the Demon King as a nobleman in order to realize noblesse oblige.
In the end, she succeeded in eliminating the last of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King by using a heavy duty talisman to waste time to open the way for the remaining warriors, but she was in an unconscious state, in a vegetative state, and was practically dead. And was sent to Frisia.
I remember her sacrifice, and of course, in order to successfully complete the journey to kill the Demon King, she freely wields her power, her power specializing in large-scale massacres, and supports her master in defeating the last of the Four Heavenly Kings. He was an entity that bought time for the remaining warriors by cutting down the monsters that were rushing towards him.
If she was still alive, I wanted to repay her for her sacrifice.
She was a strong member of the party along with Gawain, and at the same time, she was a colleague with whom he would want to buy a drink and talk when they met separately someday.
-Geumtaeyang, after this party is over, come to Freesia. Would you like to have a drink together? Of course, you buy it.
-Damn it, why me?
-That’s because I’m pretty! It’s natural for a pretty girl to get drunk! Ohhhhh~
…It’s true that she wields an incredibly large sword and is a beautiful woman, so I can’t say anything about it. Of course, if it weren’t for that ridiculously large sword and a patient with princess disease.
Above all, with a voice so loud that it hurts your ears.
The princess knight, a voluptuous woman who speaks loudly enough for anyone to hear, can be easily heard even if she speaks loudly…
…
She had crumbled like that.
That’s why I wanted to save him.
Although he was hateful, he was a comrade in arms who was not really hateful.
It was a question, nothing more or less than that, and fortunately, the information about the treatment for it was quite reliable.
No, rather than saying it was a cure, I heard a story about a sacred relic from the Age of God that was used to help people be reborn.
The name is ‘Rebirth Ark’
Naturally, it was a divine relic that was said to completely reconstruct and resurrect the object in question, and the materials for making it and the conditions for operating it were mentioned in detail. And I was comforted by the fact that most of the ingredients were available.
About the last ingredient.
A mandrake that doesn’t cry.
Something about Mandrake.
Mandrake, which naturally screams when pulled, doesn’t scream.
Where on earth should I get this?
Of course, Gilgamesh said.
“Originally, the holy relics of the Age of Gods are full of strange things. If the material is suitable for it, the holy relics will react. Everything that that snail says is the truth.”
“Champi!!! Gilgamesh, are you saying that too!?”
And whether Solias screams or not, Gilgamesh doesn’t care. As always, just give it a cool look.
To be honest, what can I do if I can’t answer even this? It would be a lie if I said I didn’t think that way. She was already so scared that she couldn’t even think of lying to me. It was so pathetic that I thought, “Champi, this is a true goddess.”
Of course, only about 0.1g.
To begin with, everyone is so self-absorbed, and on top of that, they immediately criticize him as soon as they see him, so I don’t have much sympathy for him.
Of course, as I say this, this is…
-I am God! I am God!!! The Goddess of Creation!! He was the oldest and original master of this world!! Aaaaa why? This guy or that guy! Is everyone treating me like this?!
…
There really is no such thing as champi.
Naturally, when would one be humiliated like this by a mortal?
If Dick, his older sister, or Gilgamesh had directly harassed him, he could at least mentally console himself by saying that he was destroyed by the same god. Of course, what would he really do if he was humiliated like this by a useless magician and a bastard named Geumtaeyang?
Naturally, he was criticized for being incompetent and not omnipotent and not a god, so it seems that the accumulated sadness eventually exploded.
From what I heard, it’s already been over 3,000 years since I was tricked into becoming that way.
As a bonus, the demon gods were also killed and sealed, so if you think about how the disaster brought about by the original owner was brought about by the snowball, the gods here and now are originally beings who left their own world.
They are beings called ‘Elder Gods’, and they turned all the demons in this world into idiots, took away Solias’s power, and sealed him away.
And these are the strongest transcendents in order to prevent transcendents who can oppose them from appearing.
And then, after the slightly inferior transcendental ones are born, when they become stronger to the desired level or become stronger than a dangerous level, they are immediately summoned and sent out in the name of catching the devil lord, and enjoy entertainment according to their own taste.
By publicly declaring and pushing the strongest Transcendents, they set the table against the remaining Transcendents and destroy them all. And then, ah! What a tragic ending! We laugh, talk and have fun while doing it.
…
And you don’t die?
And the answer to that.
Dick tells me what I’ve been going through over and over again.
“If that doesn’t kill him, he’ll try to kill him somehow. The stage is already over, and it’s time for the actor to leave the stage.”
In the end, the story is that he uses his strength one more time to somehow get himself kicked out because he was not kicked out. And after listening to it all, my sister looks at Dick and asks.
“…Then what is it? The hero and the demon lord? Clark said he was protecting the world and all, but it was all calculated to go out and protect his students. Since he didn’t die, he called assassins and tried to kill him. “Is that the only reason?”
And nods his head.
“To put it simply, from now on, you guys are going to kill each other. This is how it is done. You may not know it, but Nodence and the others were probably giggling and laughing as they watched you fight. And that’s the only reason. Gods get bored and get bored quickly. That’s why the same actors “They don’t want to keep watching, and new heroes keep coming out to make them ‘play’. Don’t try to understand the thoughts of crazy people who have turned around, sister.”
“…Aren’t you older than me?”
“She’s my friend’s older sister. I should call her sister.”
It doesn’t suit you, old man. Of course, when I was young, I thought he was the same age as me, but after I grew up and put all the facts together, I found out that he had known his father for a long time and had also known his mother.
And, as he was, the words Dick spoke next carried weight.
“Immortality is a disease that sickens the mind in many ways. That’s why they commit all kinds of eccentricities to appease their eternal life. And if they see a sprout that can resist their power, they kill it, and those that cannot resist are grabbed and held at will. They kill them by tearing off their legs, limbs, or other misfortunes. Just like young children grabbing dragonflies by their wings and tearing them off one by one, ripping off their legs… They naturally do crazy things like that. .”
Of course, it’s one of the pranks I did as a child.
Pouring water on ants’ nests, or catching dragonflies and tearing off their wings one by one to kill them. That such an act is overwhelming violence inflicted on small creatures.
After they grow up, most people realize how terrible it is and stop doing such things, but when you think about the fact that people who live for a long time and are wiser and more intelligent than humans do such things, it is absolutely terrible.
I live in a world where I can be rescued from their fishbowl and die at any time, and the mere fact that they are after me has created a relationship where coexistence with them is unacceptable.
If I think about my birth, my sister’s birth, and my sister’s true name, which I cannot yet call, the Elder Gods will somehow try to kill me and my sister.
After all, I’m in their fishbowl, and they’re after me too.
From the moment we were selected as a warrior party, our family was on their list of prey.
There is one more reason to kill.
In a world where you have to die just as God commands, it means killing the devil.
The Demon King was also a transcendent being, a powerful being who could stand up to the gods.
And the fact that even though the gods could kill the Demon King, they did not kill him, and instead made him send a party of other transcendental beings, and the fact that they were laughing and enjoying themselves while watching what was happening between them. And Gilgamesh also added about it.
“Warriors’ battles are a good snack to drink. Naturally, the bloodier and more brutal the battle, the more joyful the gods’ banquet becomes.”
“…Wait! Hound, Gilgamesh! Don’t say that! Not all gods are like that…!! Adramelech, the gods can’t be that corrupt-“
Of course, those two words could be biased. And Solias tried to defend himself by saying that not all gods were like that, but only Adramelech could not deny it at all.
Such a simple, ignorant muscle-brained angel cannot lie.
Among them, how could the muscle-brained Archangel, who is Max, be so loyal to Solias that he lied? He became a decisive witness proving that Dick and Gilgamesh’s words were not lies.
Solias calls Adramelech once again, but-
Adramelech could not deny it.
“Adramelech…?”
“…Solias, what they said…Is all true.”
“…No way-“
This goddess is mentally broken in many ways. The look on her face when she realized that the guests she had invited were playing with the people she cared so much for was more hurt than she had ever been mentally broken.
“But Dick, this is something I’m personally curious about… How much do you know about Cassandra?”
“Do you want to know?”
Naturally, Dick’s voice lowers. There didn’t seem to be any restrictions on this, but judging from Dick’s reaction, it seemed like it was a rather sensitive issue. As usual, the question is how much you know about Cassandra, who the warriors drove to death.
I asked because it was already in the past, but judging from Dick’s reaction,
And considering that Dick is older than you think, it’s definitely related for some reason.
Even when I said I was going to kill Cassandra,
He said he would kill me for me as long as I paid him.
Dick clearly knew how strong Cassandra was, and he also knew that I was not good enough to deal with her. And now, Cassandra died because she became friends with Gawain, and I barely survived like a dog and came back with my magic circuit broken until now.
Dick’s expression was smiling, but it wasn’t a very good expression.
“No, tell me when you want to.”
Of course, there are things I don’t want to tell Dick. After saying that, Dick smiled bitterly and answered what I said.
“…I’ll tell you about it in the near future. It’s not completely unrelated anyway. Whatever. Anyway, your business is done with this, right?”
“Okay, I have nothing to do with Solias anymore.”
For the sake of saving the world from the ‘Devil King’, there are a mountain of bastards that need to be eliminated, and it makes me cry to think that each and every one of them is worse than the Devil King. And then, Gilgamesh made me an offer.
“Ah, Clark. This is just my personal opinion, but you don’t have to listen to it, it’s a good story if you listen to it. Do you want to listen to it?”
“If you have that intention, wouldn’t it be better to just give the order? Magia the Infamous is a vassal of the Uruk Empire.”
“Cook, cluck, that’s not how I treat people. It’s only meaningful if you make that person follow you sincerely. As a bonus, you can give a blow to the Elder Gods who are oppressing the light. Would you like to hear it?”
“…Let’s just listen.”
“Take Solias with you. Along with Adramelech.”
“…”
And the older sister looks at Gilgamesh. Yellow golden eyes, sheep eyes turned to Gilgamesh, and Gilgamesh said while looking at his sister.
“Why are you doing this, mountain goat? Are what I said shocking?”
“…It’s surprising that you say such crazy things so confidently, ‘Your Majesty the Emperor.'”
“Ah~ This is not coercion. But, in the end, Solias is well aware of the power that the Elder Gods have. And if Solias absorbs that power and prevents them from moving around… And “If you can weaken the other Elder Gods, I don’t think it’s a bad offer for you since you were taken by them anyway, right?”
There is a point.
The Elder Gods are already watching me, and there are other beings besides the Elder Gods.
A scream heard in unconsciousness.
The voice of a being that wants to crawl towards me.
That creepy voice still lingers in my ears.
Those things exist, and there are also secrets that Dick doesn’t mention. From the moment I decided not to accept the position of consul in Magia and to deal with the gods, I had to use everything at my disposal.
As a result, I can still tolerate her presence because she has not yet shown any overt hostility towards me.
Just as she finds my presence itself unpleasant, I also find her physiologically unpleasant.
In the end, we are all on different wavelengths, and there is no reason why we cannot walk together as long as we are looking at the same goal and direction.
“You don’t need to listen, Clark. I will be your strength rather than a weightless burden like that.”
“Oh, Sanyang, are you trying to wrap a man in a skirt? Like I weakened Enkidu? That’s not possible. In the end, a man wrapped in a skirt cannot grow.”
“I said I would do that, but you’re going to stop me?“
“Stop.”
And I talk to my sister and hold her hand.
I know how much blood my sister had on her hands, how much she dipped all the way from southwestern Magia to Media for me, to see me, to save his father, to save me. I know my sister’s feelings and that she wants to protect me.
That’s why she couldn’t leave it to her older sister.
The world has already pointed at me, and I must act as its subject, not as its older sister.
“Like I told my sister, in the end, this is something I have to solve. If I don’t solve it, nothing can be done, and my father will just end up dead.”
“But-!!!“
“My father, he didn’t raise me to be a man who just wanted to be protected by my sister. He told me to protect the things I could reach and the things in my arms, he didn’t tell me to be protected.”
This is what my father told me when I was young.
And, if I do as my sister says, she will overdo it.
For none other than me.
So, in order to protect my sister, I do not follow my sister’s suggestion.
