Chapter 525 – 524. Love and Peace (4)
Lunaus after Clark leaves. And Haemin.
Anyway, there is no big problem right now because Clark took care of Jonilles and destroyed it. And then, Runius saw Haemin.
A young human fighting against Joniles.
A mixed race of human and dragon. And at the same time, a wizard so talented that Clark caught his eye. And for the first time in my life, I hit a big [Wall], And that wall-
If he was the Joniles he knew, he would be nowhere near the level this kid is at right now. But still, Clark threw the kid in front of Joniles. It was also in a state where Clark had [Reinforced] It for a long time. It would have been difficult in his previous state, but Clark said he had already strengthened himself to more than three times his strength.
You’re not a wizard, but you only know that magic? No, in fact, I may only know magic. I passed by and saw Runius training-
-I put too much effort into the left side, and not enough strength into the right side. The sword must have equal strength in both hands, so it will be about 1.5 times more powerful than before.
-What do you know… Huh?
And, as a result, I broke the target that I had not been able to break just a moment ago.
I did it without thinking, and the sword, which had only left a trace until a moment ago, smashed the target.
-Look, that’s enough. Because the force was concentrated in the other direction, it became a diagonal line instead of a straight line.
-… So what next?
-You have to find it yourself, idiot. Am I spoon-feeding you that too?
It still wasn’t cheap, but if he cared this much, it was definitely worth it. And as expected. This guy is powerful enough to interest Clark.
However…
In terms of skill, it is still far behind Jonilles.
And if it’s natural, then it’s natural.
“If you can run away, run away.”
“… I was wondering what nonsense you were talking about. Do you think I can run away? Running away from that golden sun? While it’s on my palm?”
“Still, run away. You’ve already faced each other once, so you think you can win? That bastard is a monster, Joniles. That bastard… Because of his talent, he was reduced to slavery.”
“… I guess so.”
“Is that so?”
“No, it seemed like that. I was full of anger at the magic.”
Haemin knew.
I am full of resentment over magic.
If he felt resentment because he could not do anything and was manipulated, he felt resentment because he had to give in to his situation and situation even though he had power. What they have in common is that they are both in a state where something precious has been shattered, and they are clashing with that force because they have nothing to worry about anymore.
“Besides, I’m used to dying and coming back to life.”
“Familiar? What on earth are you-“
“You don’t know that guy, but he already died 13 times before I came here.”
Once before returning.
And after that, after regressing 12 times.
Naturally, it was a hellish time, and I gritted my teeth and ran to break my own limits. As the only wizard in a world where wizards do not exist, he has lived through hellish times to survive as a wizard in a world where there is no knowledge left other than what he has learned and [Realized].
“Well, that gentleman and I are [Exactly the same person]”
In fact, they are the same person.
Past, and present.
A timeline that is the past to him, but to him is the distant future.
This strange timeline.
Time travel.
And, in between those time travels, he said to himself.
-If you fly to that time, you will be trained to be even more Spartan.
-If you consider what they are doing now, how different is it?
-I knew you were an asshole, so I took it slow, but if you continue in that state, I will act very spartanly because I already know everything.
Well, it’s just as they say.
The first one was an awakening battle, and after the second one, he was really crazy. Perhaps because it was during his time in Leeds, he was a real idiot, and of course, seeing him calmly do things he wouldn’t do and quickly correct them, you could tell that he also had a period of extreme anger.
Above all, it was a time when even his [True wife] Was really going crazy, and even doing crazy things like taking him with him and raiding the alien’s stronghold.
“… I’m not bragging. But even so, I have work to do.”
“Is that something you have to do at the cost of your life and sanity?”
Well.
A story that cannot be told to anyone, a story that only oneself and [Him] Know.
Throwing yourself here, teaching you [Magic], And now throwing you this ordeal and acting Spartanly.
He says that helping him is a [Personal matter], And he also knows that there is a real cause, a cause that has made his life and his life a mess. Also, the object is closely related to [Him].
And, at least in order to give the target a good shot.
And-
For [Something precious] That I can’t remember anymore.
Developing strength for [Something] Paid in return.
I paid for that in order to come here in the first place, and in exchange for [Memories], I was able to run this far by giving myself another chance.
“Since I made a contract with the devil, I have no choice but to hang out with the devil to the level he wants, and until the devil gets sick of it. You might think I’m crazy, but it’s a contract like this, and I’m used to it. And, for that, I have to pay [Memories] In exchange. I paid.”
“…”
“It’s not a decision I take lightly, and if it’s that damned guy who stands in my way, I’ll just jump over it.”
“You’ve already died twice.”
“Yes. If you die, that’s the end of the story. But, I don’t want to live in frustration and be nothing, just alive.”
I think I’ve said everything I wanted to say.
There was a story I wanted to tell, so I waited long enough. If I was told to give up, I didn’t want to do it again. Because I lived a life of giving up, and because I ended up in such a miserable situation, I no longer wanted to give up, and I did not give up on the sense of accomplishment I gained by overcoming the trials.
If it’s an impassable wall or a cliff, you can just break it and get over it.
“… Did you know that? An elf with his ear cut off has a distorted sense of balance.”
“So?”
“I’ve finished what I had to say. Jonileth, he was my brother’s friend, and he was my friend too. So I know how strong he is. At your level, he’ll die next time too.”
“I don’t think he’s stronger than I.”
These bastards really.
Of course that is true. And both Clark from the past and the kid in front of me now are stronger than Lunaus. But-
“I told you everything I could. Anyway, even if I tried to find his weakness, I couldn’t find it. If you want to keep fighting, just remember that one thing. And… Even if you overcome that weakness, there will always be a loophole.”〈 Br〉
“Is this an experience?”
That’s right.
After losing my right eye, I lived feeling that my body’s senses were distorted and misaligned.
One Eyes Wolf.
I was called the Elven Warrior, also known as the One-Eyed Wolf, but lately I’ve been feeling a little less confident when I’m around these monsters, but at least I was able to talk about this one thing.
“I’m more used to this side now, so it would probably be more awkward if I suddenly gained eyes. Well, it’s been over 50 years since I lost my eyes.”
“… Wow, you’ve lived longer than you look.”
“It’s natural because we’re elves. I thought I was a short-lived species like you guys… Oh, that’s right.”
This guy is a half dragon.
Of course, he knew he had made a mistake, but Haemin said it didn’t matter.
If you live in a place where pad lip service is a daily routine, that’s nothing.
In a world of people who blatantly discriminate against people based on their skin color and insult them with eye-slitting gestures, what’s wrong with being mixed race?
Even living in a place where people discriminate and hate each other for being men or women, and living in a place where you never know when you might get stabbed in the back, that’s a mistake.
Besides, unlike her brothers and sisters, she was just like a human.
“Cook, what are you talking about? You are outright a bastard, a loveless bastard! Among those who go around saying things like this, that is not even considered a slip of the tongue. Keep it in, keep it in. And well… We are of the same race, can I tell you about that?”
“If you fail, I will be the enemy you have to deal with.”
I see.
Even though the elf in front of him is rotten, he is still the captain of the royal guard, and he is the closest aide to Queen Carnesia Elvenguard. And of course, he is an opponent who wants the destruction of Elven Haim. That’s why he is the one who will eventually confront Joniles.
“… Isn’t it more difficult for you than for me?”
“What about you, having to fight that guy four times?”
That too.
“Life feels like shit.”
It’s such a true education after being thrust into it without any hesitation. They say it’s always been like that, but when I go back, I probably won’t be kicked in the blanket and stuffed with black history.
“… In the end, the second battle was lost as well.”
“Do you care?”
“Is it strange that I care? This is the elves’ business. The Jonyles are my kingdom’s subjects after all, and now… They are trying to rebel.”
Dinner with Carcia.
Well, step by step, I’m stepping on the guys below, and I’m stuck here.
The Demon King Castle is also taking this situation seriously.
Sure enough, it is said that the demon king himself is coming out to attack the demon king castle and the anti-demon king faction members who were hiding here and there are coming out to attack them. Of course, they are trying to shake up the ruling system, but on top of that, they tried to kidnap my student and my daughter, so I made them especially angry today.
“It’s treason. Well, actually, I’d be glad if it ended with just that.”
“… Ha.”
I’m sorry.
However, it is something that must be faced in the end.
Because Karsia knows that, she doesn’t say anything.
And she calms down for a moment by drinking the tea that Phyllis gave her.
“… I’m glad I have tea. I want to grow this tea someday.”
“Unfortunately, it is a variety that cannot be obtained naturally, so there will be no commercially available varieties.”
Phyllis responds to Karcia’s words, and Karcia asks Phyllis if she suddenly had a good idea.
“Then what about sharing this breed with plant-based monsters?”
“… It should be possible, but I can’t guarantee how the varieties that left my hands will mutate. Even if they respond, there will be differences in taste and efficacy. Above all, the formulation also depends on the formulation.”
That she was her apothecary, and that she was even capable of curing the hydra’s poison. Therefore, it was a possible breed improvement and the emergence of new products, and Carsia still seems to be disappointing.
Unfortunately, it is possible to produce a variety by handing it to the plant monsters, but they will have to figure out the taste, combination, and efficacy.
“Giving the recipe… Wouldn’t work, right?”
“You will get a reward, hehe… But only one person can pay that fee.”
That means that no one else will give it to me. Well, of course, Phyllis’ gaze towards me, and Carcia’s somewhat stinging gaze.
“… I definitely remember her having a husband.”
“Well, there were such lowly [Males].”
“…?”
Huh. I really need to tell you this before anyone misunderstands.
“He’s already dead. And you were there too, Carcia.”
“That’s true. But, it seems like he did something bad. To the woman who had a husband, Geum Taeyang…”
Well, do women really have any sense for this kind of thing, or are they just poking at them all until they lose their senses? Whether it’s the former or the latter, those who are really on the receiving end are so shocked that they’re shocked. Really.
In the first place, there was an elf who came to me outright and asked to be made a slave.
“… No, isn’t that what Mr. So-and-so, who openly asked to be made a slave in the first place, would say?”
“W-Why is it coming out now? In order to save her subordinates at that time… That…”
“… I guess that wasn’t the only thing. Uhuhu-“
“No, you weren’t in that situation at the time!!”
Speaking of Phyllis, well, what happened on the eastern frontier at that time, what happened at Liz’s estate, and of course, how much pressure I felt when Liz turned on her double-mindedness towards me. And, Phyllis said about that.
“The queen has a female scent. So, she is attracted to strong males…”
“… Hey, are you going to invite me to a dinner party and keep telling me these silly jokes?”
And the fourth person here.
Of course, Carcia, Phyllis and me.
I even brought Tio Gransha, the staff member who was planning the overall strategy for this situation.
“It’s not like you’re not interested.”
“… Can I get up?”
When Tio asked while looking at me, I clicked my tongue and winked at Phyllis. Only then does Phyllis take a step back. In many ways, I wondered if I had moved on as I took turns attending to the royal family. This is not what is important.
“Anyway, in a situation where it is a mess, Tio, you are our enemy, the Demon God, the Holy Kingdom, Jonileth, other monsters, and Nyarlathotep. I would like to hear an overall prediction of the situation among these forces.”
“The 5th Force. Isn’t it too much to have a conscience, Clark?”
“You are the woman who has been blocking the day when the five forces united for five years to attack you. If it is within the range you expected, I will listen carefully. And, if an unexpected situation arises, if it is within the range I predicted, I will act accordingly. Please feel free to tell me the emergency rules that will guide your actions, and if it is unexpected, I will break through it at my discretion.”
“… That’s right. First, you attracted too much aggro, Clark. You know that, right?”
“Don’t know.”
“Depending on your actions, the position you are not in will be taken away. Whether you send reinforcements or not, the position you are not in will be taken away.”
Is it unconditional?
It is worth it.
How many divine beings are there?
Besides, he is an opponent who is trying to kick me, so of course he will attack me with the same force.
“So my opinion is-“
“Wait a minute.”
And I raised my hand.
Uninvited guests.
And, even illegal intrusion.
I look at Tio.
And then, look at the shadow underneath.
I speak quietly.
“If you come out quietly, they will show you mercy and listen to your story, and if you make a fuss, you can expect it.”
“…”
“Do you want me to pull you out, or do you want to come out yourself? [Julia].”
As expected.
After chewing it once, it comes to you on its own.
And as soon as he finished speaking, a red-eyed vampire with the appearance of an elf crawled out of Tio Gransha’s shadow. Black hair full of turbidity, red eyes. And…
A vampire wearing bondage-style high legs and long boots.
And Carcia recognizes it, and Julia also sees Carcia.
Even for a moment.
“… To the Great One, [Vampire Lord – Julia] Greets you. I have come to tell you something.”
Quad deuk!!!
Without even screaming, I see Julia bound by my arcane power and slammed into the wall. I will praise you for not screaming, but above all, I don’t particularly like [Bats].
“Now, our staff. What is the probability that this is a fake?”
“Above 80%, less than 90%. We recommend killing them immediately.”
“I see. Well, that’s how I am, too. But, I’d like to at least hear the story.”
Usually, at this point, he gives a reason to keep me alive, but I guess I can see him intuiting death and trying to accept it humbly.
Of course, this is also this.
There is also a possibility that it is a fake.
“Okay, what are you going to talk about?”
“… I came to surrender.”
“Why?”
“… I decided that it would be impossible to fight those [Monsters] That your daughter summoned, and you who can easily call and control such monsters. Even if my brother wins the fight against that half-dragon, the future This is because it was determined that does not exist.”
Cheongsan flow channel.
Naturally, Tio Gransha narrows his eyes. I don’t care either way, and I’ll leave it to Tio to decide whether this is false or true in the first place. No matter how the situation turns out, I can produce the results I want. Since it was her ability, I decided to give it to her in order to see her Tio Grand Shah’s ability.
I winked at Tio and then spoke.
“Your life will depend on our staff’s decision.”
And I wait for Tio Gransha’s answer.
“My conditions are…”
Naturally, the conditions that were put forth were quite interesting conditions.
As expected.
You’ve been blocking me for 5 years, and you’re not going anywhere.
I know better than anyone else what I can do and how far I can go.
“… I have told you all the conditions. If you do not do this, I will not accept your surrender. You may run away. You may run away, and you may go to Jonileth and talk to him.”
Well then.
It is possible to run away.
Then what is it?
If you try to run away, you will only die from exhaustion.
“The choice is yours.”
If it is not the right choice, there is only death.
