Chapter 515 – Yandel

I had to admit it.

That we are weaker than a noble ruler.

Obviously, our growth rate was amazing, but we were running out of time. If a little more time had been given, this battle would have definitely been a lot different.

I don’t know for sure about Iris and Iona, but Carla and Elisha would have reached the level of great wizards, and Helena, like previous saints, would have been able to perfectly handle the powers given to her.

If he had received equipment with a Philosopher’s Stone embedded in it from Fei, who had fully awakened to become a great alchemist, he certainly wouldn’t have been pushed back like this.

But in the end, this is just a what if. We had to stand in front of a lofty reign without having fully grown up yet.

Rahim, who burned his last life and weakened his noble reign, is dead, and Rebecca is unconscious.

Until now, it was only a vague expectation, but after hearing the story of the noble reign, it became clear.

Fafnir succeeded in simulating the future of this world before his remaining lifespan expired, and succeeded in contacting other worlds and kidnapping my soul.

The system had more power than Fafnir had planned, and I was lucky enough to break through whenever a dangerous situation came up.

Even if dangerous side effects occurred, the system alleviated them in a timely manner… And now, like this, Elisha has gained her enlightenment during the battle and has become a high-level wizard.

It must all be thanks to the help of someone beyond the system.

Of course, this does not mean that our efforts were meaningless. The only thing we could do in the upper world was to push our backs, and in the end, it was our responsibility to get to the wall and fight with our will.

However, this means that the difficulties that have been overcome have been overcome to this point.

Gogohan Reign was clearly aware of the existence of a helper that even we were not aware of, and he was too strong of an enemy to be overcome with just a slight push.

Okay. I had to admit it.

That we are weaker than a noble ruler.

… And this also means that our death is not far away.

Every time I repel its attack, I feel a specific sense of malice from the divine power coming through the wound.

It’s aimed at my women, not me, and I throw my body at it and try my best to stop it, but the reality is becoming more and more difficult.

And at some point, your tired and injured body will no longer be able to fulfill its role and you will have to watch someone die right in front of your eyes.

One person. Another one. In the end, the evil will of the noble reign will not stop until everyone falls and I despair.

Even at this moment, the greed inside me whispers. Do not forgive anyone who dares touch my treasure.

This may be a dragon’s instinct, my innate temperament, or maybe it’s because of the twisted relationship from the first moment I met the Lady of Fallen as her master or savior.

Until now, I never thought this was a bad thing. Although he may be a bit possessive, isn’t the relationship basically based on trust and affection?

If I really couldn’t handle my own greed, I wouldn’t have released Elisha and Iris’s slave contract in the first place, and I would have pledged Fay’s debt, Iona’s blood, and Helena’s faith.

But if people die one by one before your eyes… At that time, I didn’t know what would happen to me.

Just by imagining it for a moment, I began to understand Rahim. I, too, will surely roll my eyes, curse my own helplessness, and become an evil spirit at the hands of the noble ruler after such despair.

There is a problem as to how I can ascend to the status of a god when I have not yet reached transcendence… There are plenty of ways to solve the problem for the noble ruler.

This guy had so much accumulated malice that he was rotting to the point of blackness, and his divinity was so enlarged that it was incomparable to other gods.

Above all, if we lose this battle, Solari will either die or take equivalent damage and become helpless. It would be perfect to make up for the lack of godhood.

Unlike the body, which was constantly moving and fighting, the mind was imagining an ominous future.

Perhaps it was because I was exposed to the attacks of the noble ruler that his terrible divine power penetrated my mental resistance and polluted me.

Even if that were the case, nothing would change the situation.

My whole body is already in tatters, and Helena’s healing speed cannot keep up with Gohan Reign’s attacks.

How long can she endure? That was the moment I thought about it.

Elisha’s clear voice echoed throughout the battlefield.

“You… ! “Don’t worry about this and fight properly!”

Elisha stands in front of her and shouts, as if protecting her fae.

Her eyes, shining with five colors, showed strong trust.

Elisha believes that if it were me, I would solve even this hopeless situation. As always, this time too… And you will continue to believe in me.

As soon as my thoughts reached that point, my thoughts that had been sinking became clearer.

-Haha…

Okay. Why did you dig into the ground and fall asleep? In the end, there was only one thing I had to do and one thing I could do from the beginning.

Belated realization. As her mind calmed down, a gentle voice naturally flowed from her mouth.

-Thank you.

Elisha was startled as if she had noticed something, but her magic was still sweeping the surrounding area and keeping the power of the noble reign in check.

Thanks to this, I have some time to focus.

Perhaps the miracles granted to us have run out. Maybe this is our final stop.

But.

-That’s not the case now.

We are weaker than a noble ruler. Once I acknowledged this, a new path appeared.

Thoroughly from the point of view of the weak, we seek ways to overthrow the tyrannical reign. And it was easier to find than I thought.

-… Ah.

Haven’t there already been attempts before and successful cases?

Self-sacrifice spell.

Clara alone blocked the endless army of evil spirits. Thus, she forcibly restored the collapsing war situation.

Flora burned herself against a noble, reigning opponent who boasted overwhelming majesty. That’s how her colleagues survived and were able to plan the future.

In the past, many saints and saints would have sacrificed themselves for the cause.

No, sacrifice is not their exclusive domain.

Although he eventually went crazy, Rahim sacrificed himself to seal his noble reign. Thanks to this, the world has received a 300-year grace period to reach the present.

Fafnir gave everything he had to protect the continent of Aurelia. She sold the treasure she cherished so much, robbed the legacy of her people, and ultimately succeeded in summoning a savior named me by exchanging her own body and soul.

Even though she knew that Theodore Lindell Haidt would eventually die at the hands of her close friend, she still showed up for court. Although she could not stop the slave brother, she was able to save Carla’s life. She eventually got her own life back by my side.

Rokhan Jarnshad used his last life to complete Fae’s masterpiece. Although he survived thanks to the mercy of clashing steel, Rokhan willingly accepted death, and as a result, he was able to defeat the two evil incarnations and save the territory and his remaining family.

Rebecca Grimfield was willing to die with Rahim for us, for the dignity of those she loved, and for the world, as she had done 300 years ago. The fact that we won relatively well against Rahim was all possible because of Rebecca.

In addition, countless people would have sacrificed themselves to achieve something or protect someone.

Any world would have maintained and developed like that. We are standing here after overcoming countless sacrifices.

And now my turn has come. That’s just the story.

I took out her orb containing Tarla from my inventory and handed it over to Karla.

-Carla. Please take care of the rest.

“Yes? Master, what is that all of a sudden… ?”

Carla casts the next spell but first receives her orb. Starting with her embarrassed self, I looked around at the other women.

Thanks to them, I learned magic, learned to trust others completely, and learned to find pure affection in twisted relationships.

More than anything, it taught me that I can change the fate of this world.

Each and every one of them is a treasure that I don’t want to give up to anyone. I can do anything as long as I don’t give up on anything.

Even if it means giving up on yourself.

-Wizards all think they are smart, but in reality, they are stupider than anyone else.

A being that reaches out even though it knows it cannot be reached. A being that endlessly seeks to bring about miracles instead of praying for them.

However, after all these vain gestures, there were those who took hold of the miracle. We call them archmages.

I wanted to become that kind of grand wizard. It had to be.

Ugh-

Polymorph was cast. Yandel, who I think is most like me, returned and radiated a ray of magical power.

The magical power extending from the heart snatched a long sword.

A weapon that made Rahim a warrior and allowed him to seal away all evil spirits. The holy sword that I could not bear to hold a noble reign was in my hands.

Is it because they also have the divine protection of all gods? The holy sword flashed a few times, and then allowed itself to me without any resistance.

The noble ruler who saw that scene snorted and said.

“What does it mean even if I pick up the holy sword now? “You’re not as good at using a sword as Rahim.”

“That is correct. No matter how much I swing the holy sword, it won’t reach you. Even if it touches it, it won’t cause much damage.”

But it doesn’t matter. Because what this holy sword will pierce is not a noble reign.

I looked at the holy sword in my hand for a moment… I grabbed it back and stabbed it into my heart.

Phuuk-

“Master?!”
“Are you crazy?!”
“Lord, master… !”
“Portion… Potion…”

Women screaming and being frightened. I thought the surprised expression was a bit cute, so I burst out laughing out of context.

“Flaw…”

No. All that came out was a distorted mouth and vomiting blood.

A situation that can only be seen as self-inflicted harm to anyone. However, Helena and Solari’s complexions became pale, as if they had realized my intention.

“Brother! Stop!”
“It’s okay if you stop now! Yet… “You can still turn it back!”

A huge amount of mana poured out as the heart exploded. The power that has reached its mortal limit is tightly grasped and compressed, and the holy sword is… She stimulated the divine power of the good spirit filled within him.

“You… No way?”

The noble ruler’s face, which had been smirking, hardened, as if he thought he had simply chosen to commit suicide before I became corrupted.

I guess it was only then that I realized what I was aiming for.

“I won’t let that happen!!”

The noble ruler, who had been teasing us with some degree of strength, has begun to pour out his power in earnest.

Not the extremities of the guy’s body, but a bizarre lump of flesh bursting out from the black fog that spread in all directions.

The shape of a tentacle. However, the flesh was rotten and crumbling, dripping poison, and contrary to its soft appearance, it had world-class strength and durability.

Other women urgently try to stop the mass of flesh rushing toward me, but the power contained within is on a different level.

No magic or divine power could stop the noble reign. But.

“Huh?!”

A noble reign that suddenly squeezes its chest and spits out bright light. Thanks to this, the trajectory of the lump of flesh is disrupted and passes by my head.

“… Also. “I thought you were still there.”

Rahim is a warrior whose noble rule is admirable. No matter how evil he was, he wouldn’t have been able to digest it in such a short period of time.

According to the noble ruler’s words, Rahim will unleash madness along with his power. In that case, now that his power has been absorbed, his madness must have been absorbed as well.

I believed that if Rahim had come to his senses, he would come forward at this time.

“This… ! “On the subject of dead remains!!”

The noble ruler growled and trampled on the ball of light that was spewed out, causing it to explode. But in that short time, everything was already over.

Mana and divine power do not repel each other, but they do not mix either. If so, the precisely manipulated mana could attach to her divine power and make her move as she wishes.

It’s only theoretical, but I’ve already done similar things several times.

Grumbling.

An enormous amount of divine power contained within the holy sword. The power that would have caused the downfall of the good god who would have won the war began to burn along with my mana.

What becomes firewood is my soul. The spell of self-sacrifice recreated through magic instills immense power in me.

“Look carefully. “This is my first and last great magic.”

There is no need for special spells or magic circles.

The trajectory of my life so far. The decision of this moment. The love that will remain forever even after everything is over is in itself a spell and a magic circle.

All you need is determination.

A small light like a firefly appears before my eyes. A light that is small and fragile and seems like it will fade away without being able to become anything.

But this was my essence.

Exciting-

My heart, which was already broken, was beating strongly. Taking this as a signal, the light splits into two and dwells on my staff and dagger.

A memory that passes by like a flash of light. With a faint smile on his face, he crossed his staff and dagger and aimed them at the noble ruler.

And I said the starter word.

“Happy ending.”

My last wish dyed the world white.
