Chapter 86 – 86. Reunion, and Farewell (5)

“When did you and Elizabeth meet?”

I asked her.

If it wasn’t now, she wouldn’t be able to hear her story.

I had to ask her.

“… I fell from the heavens, and with only death left for me, I landed on this eastern border. And I was noticed by Elizabeth, who was here with the knights, and I was barely able to save her life. .”

Surprisingly, Minerva listens to Minerva’s story as she calmly tells her story without being picky.

Afterwards, the injuries to her body are severe and as a result of her rebellion against her father, Jupiter, her vessel of divinity is broken.

Naturally, she is in a state where death is inevitable.

When Elizabeth saved Minerva who had fallen from heaven to earth, what she said was very impressive.

-Let it be known with honor. Hehe, helping people in trouble is also a noble’s duty. I have saved you, as is my noble duty, and will ensure your safety. So serve me, goddess.

“…Crazy bitch.”

Of course, after hearing that story, all I could say was that I was really crazy.

Probably the Church of Jupiter or Minerva, no, it is said that even the Church of Minerva has almost disappeared now.

After all, she rebelled against her father. How could Jupiter possibly leave the church alone?

And I’m almost glad I didn’t get angry for saying something like that and being disrespectful.

In any case, if priests from other churches listen, this blasphemous person!

Wouldn’t there have been an uproar?

“…I wondered if there were all these crazy mortals in the world. At the same time, I also knew that it was sincere. Of course…I was in no condition to refuse it.”

As time went by, I realized how despairing I felt after realizing that I was no longer immortal, that I was a god in name only, and that I was gradually losing my godly power.

-Do you have time to despair? You have to fight to leave something behind in the world. You are God. Yes?

-…You’re so carelessly saying that your bitch has a pierced mouth. You don’t know what pain this is!

-Of course I don’t know. Is it possible for this body to know the circumstances of God? However, I cannot tolerate seeing people acting as if they are going to die without doing anything.

Come to think of it, it was like that even during the expedition.

There was a lot of a strict person who absolutely hated doing nothing.

I thought she was a patient with loud-voiced princess disease, but while I was on guard duty, I closed my eyes and was conducting a search with Wizard Eye, and suddenly I was tapped on the shoulder and asked if I was sleeping. As a result, the Wizard Eye I was using was canceled, my concentration was interrupted, and I suffered some internal injuries.

-You crazy bitch, I’m looking at you with Wizard Eyes, why are you fucking bothering me? Cough…Ah fuck.

-Now, wait! Clark why are you bleeding?

-Oh shit…It’s just an internal injury so don’t worry about it. If you do that one more time, I’ll hit you real hard.

Of course, I said that, but in terms of physical strength, I can’t believe I was beating up a woman who was much older than me. Crazy talk.

One more thing to say as a side note to the story about being on watch, I said that I could just cast a warning spell with magic, but in the end there was this crazy Kampf bitch who was begging me to stay on watch.

In fact, while I was on watch, I noticed that the enemy was attacking with a security spell that I had cast just in case. As a bonus, I found Kanf sleeping in the middle of it.

I’m not kidding, I almost hit his head with a hammer at that time.

Naturally, I was so excited to see myself sleeping while thinking about keeping the wizard on guard.

Of course, I also stood there after that.

While also setting up that Canf Bitch.

Instead, every time I sleep, I tell myself to be prepared if it catches my eye.

As I kept doing that, it got tiresome so I just told you to grow up and I will set the boundaries. There was also a time when I cast a spell while doing so.

“I said you couldn’t just disappear without doing anything. And, I asked you to teach me the martial arts of the Goddess of War.”

“…I’m telling you, the great sword he uses doesn’t match your fighting style at all, does it?”

“That’s right. It took a long time to learn everything, but that’s it. I only taught you how to deal with it, and after learning it, I couldn’t touch Elizabeth, even a single hair on her.”

While they were talking, Gawain also came to their side. She asks Minerva as she watches Elizabeth begin to recover in front of the equipment I created.

“… Indeed, that is why she is so strong. She is the martial art of the Goddess of War. If I get the chance someday, I would like to gain insight into it…”

Tdu-duk-duk-

Her right arm is torn off and begins to fall apart.

And that process will not be an easy pain to endure, to say the least. It would be nonsense if the pain of your body collapsing and being shattered was not painful. And looking at that, Minerva smiled and said.

“…I guess that’s too much. Hero Gawain.”

“…”

“Still, it seems like she really was someone worthy of being chosen as a hero. Her comrades thought about finding her and saving her. And I saw someone who was the opposite of that today, and she actually experienced a lot of things before she died. It would have been fun if she could have continued to live. .”

Have fun.

Is the world happy now?

Is this a happy world?

“It would be better to be dead than alive.”

And when I answered that, Minerva shook her head.

“Please do not deny that we are alive. Please do not deny that people live, are born, die, and suffer.”

“…Even if it’s a world where there is nothing left but suffering, is there any meaning to living in it?”

“Of course.”

“…”

In my life, I thought I was fortunate to have my family and people around me. Of course, even in a life full of pain, I didn’t have a dark childhood because of them.

“So please do not deny it. A world without life, no matter how much the world collapses, no matter how much pain and despair there is, life and living must be repeated, and birth must continue. That is a wonderful thing, and it must not be cut off.”

…

“I don’t know what kind of being you are, or what kind of heart you have, and why you’re still alive. I don’t know, especially… Especially my father said that ‘Marcus’ should be killed.”

“Jupiter?”

“…A living being that should not be born will be born.”

That…

“She probably was with you, and Mira-Dunbringer. She was she.”

“If a minister like that wanted to do that, he could have done it, right?”

It’s just Jupiter.

He is a great minister who cannot be defeated even if he competes with Odin of the North and Thor. If such a being had tried to kill me, it would have been possible from the beginning. Why?

“…Ax.”

“?”

“A black hound with an axe. It was next to you. It bit you in a really bad place.”

Perhaps the reason we can’t talk about it right away is that if we do, someone will take action. Just as Solias said that the high elves of Elvenheim’s royal family are key ingredients in the Reverse Arc by referring to the mandrake that does not cry, she is saying the same thing.

And with the words ax and hound, I was able to immediately guess what happened to Jupiter and at the same time who did it.

…The dick cut off the dick.

“…Ah?”

Lying down on top of a hospital somewhere!!! Is it my imagination that reminds me of a video of a person with his face distorted while doing this?

Naturally, Minerva confirms and kills him next.

“I became a sexual cripple. I don’t have to tell you how much of a libertine my father was. And of course, he was losing his power after that, and Neptune and I rebelled to put an end to his ruthless reign…”

“Seeing as the results are here, it must have failed.”

Is this the result of being caught off guard and attacking a toothless lion?

Tsk.

It is the path you chose.

And Jupiter was the father of many heroes, just looking at what remains of him as a bookseller, and Alkeides the Great is also Jupiter’s child.

In fact, it would be enough to say that Jupiter went around raping numerous women in order to elect Alkeides.

And the reason he is the highest god despite his gangster behavior is because he is the strongest among the members.

Okay.

That power is the king.

So, even after all that gangsterism, no one was able to challenge Jupiter.

And the weaker you become, the more challenges you will face.

“.. Hehe, this is how I came here, Elizabeth…If I think about it, I knew you back then too.”

“Me?”

“Yes, at least if you were born as the child of a ruler of a famous family, you should be familiar with information from other countries. It’s natural.”

Come to think of it, I probably asked a stupid question.

I know all the influential people in other countries, so how could they not know me?

Of course, there was something I said when we first met.

-Nice to see you. The Golden Sun of Magia, I am Elizabeth – Pantalone. We are in awe of your great achievements and your path of exploration, and we sincerely welcome you to join the expedition.

Well, judging from what you said at the beginning, you must have known about me.

The problem is…

These were the words that followed.

-So, I ask you, Geumtaeyang. Can you become Pantalone’s vassal? Even if someone is as bad as you, I can completely accept it.

– No, he blatantly called me a jerk on our first meeting.

-? Blonde tanning bitch. You said it with your own mouth, right? If I had a bully like that next to me, I would be able to get rid of annoying men. I need you.

-No, this is the first time you’ve tried to make me your vassal for that reason. That’s it, you crazy bitch! Why is my wife and daughter, who are fine in the first place, not getting married and living in poverty?

-This is my heart, Geumtaeyang. Are you flirting? It’s something I don’t want to do right now, and I’ll give you the money to do it, so would you please consider it?

Of course, I said that.

It was because my behavior itself was far from aristocratic in the first place.

Moreover, she was that crazy idiot who even wrote nested questions. Although she acted noble, she seemed to be missing something.

Tsk.

In the end, she got angry and told me to put it away, asking what kind of bullshit I was talking about. Of course, she said that because she knew that I really wasn’t that kind of bastard. I say this because the image I usually see is very similar.

Above all, she was the daughter of the Duke of Pantalone, received the title of Margrave, and was looked down upon by many idiots because she was a noblewoman of an influential family and a woman.

She always said that she was a sword to protect the country and the people, and had no intention of becoming the sword of any noble family.

You knew about me.

And Minerva continues talking.

“…They said there is such a person. There is a person who does not give in to the world and shines despite the persecution directed at him.”

And Minerva spoke to me.

“Geumtaeyang, that was you. And Elizabeth, she devoted herself even more to seeing you, and gave me strength by telling me your story.”

“…No, why am I even talking about it, just call it a bastard like me.”

“Not at all. You are a more upright person than I thought. When I think about your birth… I think the people around you hoped that even if you went astray, they would see beautiful things in this world and not deny them. “That’s why your ‘nature’ and your ‘reason’ are clashing violently.”

“…”

After all, God is God, right?

“You strangely want to see blood, want to kill… You must have been shaken by that.”

And Minerva looks at Solias.

After seeing her, she spoke to me.

“Solias. After all, the God of Creation who had no choice but to be deceived because she was pure… She is protecting you. And your sister too.”

“…I only do what I want to do. And I don’t let anyone else’s intentions or will get in the way.”

“I guess so. However, beings like ‘us’ are affected by it more than you might think. There’s someone around you too, right?”

“…”

“Watch out for him. The leash around his neck will one day be aimed at you. And me too.”

And-

-Recovery complete. Elizabeth – Pantalone’s recovery is complete. I’m going to open my eyes in a little while.

Finally.

With those words, Minerva places her hand into her own breast, and into that breast, pulls out her own shattering core.

“…!!”

Gawain is surprised, Solias next to him, and I are also surprised.

“…Hehe, hehe- Are you surprised? Yes, that’s right. My father, my father manipulated me… ‘Elizabeth – Pantalone’ is my friend in front of you. “I told you to steal my master’s body. That’s how you live.”

“You-“

“But now, I’m okay with that. I guess I like it… I’m okay with this.”

I’m going to fall in love!!!

Her thunderstorms are pouring down on her. And-

Gurgling-!!!

I throw the hammer where the lightning strikes.

And the dimensional block that appears through that place.

Blocking the thunderbolts pouring down from across dimensions –

Give it back as is.

-Aaaaah!!! You son of a bitch!!

What kind of philandering bastard who can’t use his dick come crawling in here just to get something to eat? Aren’t you doing such a shitty thing to your daughter?

And before lightning struck again.

Of course, after that, a sound from beyond that dimension.

The sound of a dog biting can be heard from there.

Of course, things happened outside of it. And what happens beyond that?

And of course, Minerva laughed and said, probably imagining what would happen later.

“…Ah, Mars. You need to come to your senses. Now, all this Phrygia needs is an endless struggle. Hehe…”

Mars.

Is this another god of war?

Then she completely rips out her own renal core, and slowly begins to fall apart.

“…Clarke, please take care of Elizabeth.”

And finally, her body began to completely collapse.

Only her shattered new core remained, and with that core remaining, only ashes remained.

-Elizabeth, Pantalone. Her recovery is complete. Because the specifications have changed, the changes…

Clink-

And then, breaking her glass coffin, Elizabeth’s gray eyes open her eyes.

And…

“…Clarke.”

Face me

Eyes that look somewhat bitter.

But then he saw me again.

And did I feel that there was something unusual about the way they were looking at me?

“Ah- Clark…!!!”

“Wow!?”

Quadang!

And I just fall to the floor.

Elizabeth, if I were to be body tackled by this female knight who may have better physical abilities than Gawain, I would have no choice but to collapse.

No matter how good I am in close combat and physical skills –

Naturally, there is no way I can defeat this female knight by force.

Blue hair, traces of the fierce battle at that time, and traces of all of Elizabeth’s weapons being destroyed.

And it looked just like it did back then, before the blood even dried.

I sealed Elizabeth, and as a result, she was able to come back to life like this.

And at that moment, my eyes widened as her face got closer to mine and she covered my lips with her own.

Her gray eyes were looking at me with the utmost affection, and she was shedding her broken armor.

Coo!

That weight falling to the floor.

How on earth do you fight with those things on your body?

“Hey, crazy- what are you doing!”

“Clarke, don’t run away. We both died in the end, right? We fought until the end for a noble goal, but in the end we were defeated… But I am still so fortunate to have met you. Ah- really. “To meet you even after death… What kind of fate is this? Clark, don’t run away. I’ve been waiting for a man like you for a long time.”

No, you’re saying you’re using that crazy thing here?

Of course, this is-

Plus, the way people around her look at her.

The gaze looking at me is very stinging.

At the same time, instead of hearing her words, I pinched her stomach…

No, I’m really pinching myself, but is it true that I barely have any flab?

“Ugh?!”

And then, as if in pain, he was so startled that he fell towards me.

I told her.

“Shinjin, get over it, you crazy bitch. You didn’t die. I saved your life.”

“…To?”

And look around.

Gawain and her eyes meet, and she turns her head and avoids gaze as if she saw something Gawain couldn’t see, and I see the gazes of Anna, Lucy, and Nia focused on me.

Solias is also blushing and Adramelech looks at Elizabeth and yells at her.

“This blasphemous man!!! What on earth is he doing in front of the goddess!!!”

Yes, well said. Well said this time, Adramelech.

“Ah, ah, what is this… Clark? I’m not dead?”

“…I told you. I will definitely save you.”

And I laughed and laughed.

Are you finally coming to your senses?

Still, no, from her perspective, she just slept for a while and woke up, so her powers are still at their peak.

Naturally, I burst out laughing at her return and her helplessness in this exciting atmosphere.

Oh really.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in this loud atmosphere.

“…Welcome, Elizabeth. Welcome back.”

“…Clarke!”

“…But, it’s heavy, so can you get up quickly? Are you wearing that armor? It’s so heavy.”

“Oh!? I’m sorry Clark!!”

Okay.

She came back again

And…

One person comes back to life, and another being…

…

And I picked up the broken and cracked Shin Core that had fallen on the floor.

And the strength to get out of there.

Before that power turned to Solias-

Some of them…

It was dwelling on Elizabeth.

Was he so surprised by that that he looked at her body?

-… Some magic circuit grafting, the energy of the sanctuary. Originally, the power of the sanctuary had to be fully used, but it was replaced with magic power…

-Magic circuit settled. Reconstruction – Warning, under the influence of Master Clark’s ‘power’, the magic circuit becomes a ‘vessel’ and settles in the subject’s body.

-…Some confirmation of contact records with divinity. Therefore, if there is contact with the power and energy of the Gods, there is a high possibility of turning into a demigod.

-Possibility of fable due to the existence of a demi-god, approximately 90% or more.

And the voice from the Reverse Arc was explaining Elizabeth’s condition.

At the same time, Minerva’s sanctuary begins to seep into her body.

And in the same way, for Solias, her own power, which had been taken away from her before, was also flowing, and was now flowing into Elizabeth.

That…

“…Huh, why am I crying?”

And tears were flowing from her eyes.

Tears are flowing down my cheeks from my gray eyes.

And did you know where this power came from?

Elizabeth asks me.

“Bia, Bia…What happened?”

Elizabeth seemed to know who this belonged to.

I had no choice but to show Elizabeth the cruel truth about her, showing her the shattered core and pointing to the remains of Minerva, which had disappeared into ashes.

“…She’s dead.”
