Chapter 594 – 1,000 Years of Memory (4)
Equinox, who went outside, unfolded the feeling of a master class.
Magic moves according to precise rules, and the more elaborate it is, the easier it is for Equinox, who has reached the level of a great wizard, to notice it. More than distinguishing handwriting.
《Spirit Resonance──》
So, Equinox invoked magic to locate and restrain the elf so that he could not get out of here with space magic.
Then, he noticed the stares observing him and canceled his magic.
《… Indeed, a meticulous elf.”
Equinox half-opened his eyes. Her magic wasn’t loud enough to mark her outwardly, so her people moved up and down the street avoiding her standing in the middle of her path.
《Knowing that if the meeting fails, they will come after you to find out your affiliation, and you deliberately called in people called “Common enemies”… It’s very unpleasant because I feel like I’ve been taken advantage of.”
A girl ran beside her as she chanted.
It was a girl with light blue hair.
With a basket of herbs in her arms, she seemed to be heading to the Church of Hathor in one part of the city. Equinox suddenly forgot the situation and turned her head away because the smell of the herb was familiar.
〈──The possibility of reaching the divine seat is high.〉
Equinox, who turned around like that——and I saw a man standing in the direction where the young Nefertiti was running.
I don’t know how that looked to Equinox.
But at least to my eyes, the man standing in the street was only a shadow made of white flames. From the silhouette, it was barely distinguishable between being a man and holding a spear.
However, the silhouette was somehow familiar.
It was because it was similar to the incarnation of my old man’s mana that I borrowed from Odin when he spoke to me. As if I had been hit in the head, I wore a arrogance.
──This bastard, he looks just like Professor Slayer.
The moment the bundle of words turned into words, white and black mana clashed. Kwaaaaang——!!! At the feet of Equinox, who trampled on the ground, a huge number of undead sprang out like a door to the Underworld. It was her army she had amassed over the years. The white shadow leaping into the sky spread dozens of rune mandalas behind its back. Each of them spun with different magic and poured out magic along the tip of the spear. < 《Kyaaaaa!!! “Mom, Mom!” And naturally, those caught up in the merciless exchange of great magic faced death. Blood and flesh poured out on the battlefield where darkness and negative mana collided. A white shadow blew out a storm. The wind, transparent at first, entwined the rubble of stones in the road and the victims, turning it oozing red and pounding the temple of Hathor.
Woo woo woo… !!!
The humble statue of God collapsed. The citizens who died were resurrected as undead at the hands of Equinox, and suffered one more forced death as they were ground by magic.
It took less than three minutes for a large city to be engulfed in flames.
“Write… !!”
And I swear and ran through the phone.
They were holding hands, but Nefertiti suddenly disappeared from their side. It was as if she had let go of my hand first and disappeared.
The point of fall is certain. It is the moment Equinox kills Yerna’s alter ego and comes out, and the young Nefertiti passes by that bitch.
Could it be that Nefertiti was passing by right before the battle to burn this city?
Even if it was a joke of fate, it was too much of a fuck.
“Nefertiti!! Where are you, Nefertiti!!”
I ran, repeating the magic pouring down my head as a dream. The water-colored hair was caught in a corner of my field of vision as I ran.
He threw himself and reached out his hand, but his hand went through.
A girl with a lively face full of tears came into my field of vision as she swung around. Her light blue hair was correct, it was Nefertiti as a child.
Even the place where she stumbled was the basement stairs.
“Chew mom… !!”
As if I was throwing myself, I deliberately rolled one round.
Chow-! Landing with a neat fall, I tried to go up, but hesitated. It was because I saw the young Nefertiti running down the stairs.
“Brother!!”
The young Nefertiti ran to the man who was lying on the bottom of a pile of stones. Dark hair and dark eyes, like mine, but her features were native to the country.
“Brother, wake up! Brother!”
《Cool… Nefi… ? Why here… 》
He seemed to be a priest, but he was unable to restore his body, which had been crushed below his waist. The young Nefertiti wept bitterly as if overcome with emotion.
“Oh, my brother… Herbs, because I left them… 》
“Ah… I see. I forgot. Thank you, Nefi.”
Nefertiti’s brother stroked her hair with a large hand.
─Moon angle, moon angle.
It was then. During the battle, a skeleton that seemed to have fallen to this point rose from the corner.
Perhaps the reason I can see this memory is because that skeleton is connected to Equinox. In other words, it is an undead camera.
《Kyaaaaa … !!》
Cradled by her brother, Nefertiti curled up over her, letting out a terrifying scream. Her brother, holding her sister, glared at her and clenched her fists.
“Be careful, you son of a bitch. These are the last moments of siblings!”
Dig-!!
The mana of light that burst from his fist shattered the skeleton’s torso. The skeleton rolled on the floor with only his head remaining.
《Cool, Cool! Big… !》
He vomited blood as if he had used the last of his strength with it. Blood spattered on young Nefertiti’s clothes.
“Hey, wait a minute! I have another priest… !!》
《… No, wait.”
As she rushed to call for help, the man stopped her by grabbing her shoulder.
Nefertiti, who had been holding back tears while biting her lips, collapsed from the force.
“Outside… No, I guess I should have asked. Yeah, it just went well.”
Is he as wise as his eyes on the outside? He shut his mouth as if he had guessed the situation on earth without asking Nefertiti.
Luckily, with his hand that was not crushed by the rock, he took out the statue that he usually carries around.
It was a lizard-shaped piece wrapped around a blue jewel.
“Receive. Have you always been begging to have one? It’s yours now.”
《… Brother? Why why?”
Nefertiti asked in a daze after seeing her brother’s arm drop. He murmured as if he had already lost his sight.
“There… I left a message. Find someone you can trust… If you’re a person with high psychic qualities like us, or if you start a family and give birth to a child… I can read your message… 》
“Sir, I hate it! I don’t need anything like this! Brother, don’t die! Brother!”
─Kurrureung!!
A sound louder than the girl’s cry shook the ground. Nefertiti’s brother muttered with blurry eyes.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t be by your side, Nefi…》
The basement ceiling collapsed. Buildings on the surface spilled onto the bodies of young Nefertiti and a man.
Keying-!!
In an instant, the statue’s shield magic saved Nefertiti from being crushed. It must have been a spell bestowed upon her by her brother.
I know the future behind me
The young Nefertiti survives unscathed.
In a few days, a rescue team will come from a nearby city, and they will detect signs of human presence and rescue a girl trapped underground.
And the girl would entrust her body to the Church of Hathor, following her brother.
《Huuuuu…》
And a few days until then.
In a dark space with only the light emitted from the shield magic, young Nefertiti would have had to stand by her brother’s corpse, who had lost her life.
All the emotions in the heart are enough time to turn them into sadness and pour them out in tears.
“… Pestilence.”
Watching this, I barely regained my senses.
It was hard to take her eyes off her right in front of her, but she wasn’t like this right now. That is a thing of the past. I couldn’t do anything about it now.
I was worried about the real Nefertiti.
After hesitating for a few more seconds, I ran up the stairs.
The ground was completely inferno. This place was closer to the hell I imagined than Niflheim, which was just cold.
Is the fight between Equinox and the white shadow over?
“Ah, fuck for real!!”
I had no choice but to manipulate my dream and soar into the sky.
Enveloped in her flames and fighting, it was thought that even her flight would not find her, but now there was little to block her sight.
Whoo oh oh!
It wasn’t hard to find the water-colored hair against the red-hot background.
Thank god. It was the car that I was thinking of erasing the dream altogether if I couldn’t find it. I flew near her and landed on the ground.
But I couldn’t speak easily.
Turning her back to me, she was standing at the beginning of a hill with a view of the burning city.
“… The only traces left in the collapsed city were darkness and negative mana.”
Nefertiti turned around and said.
“So, of course we thought ‘Immortalis’. After that, they were the most active black magicians. Neither I nor the others ever doubted that.”
“… …”
“But it wasn’t even if I killed a few people. It wasn’t the black storm that destroyed my brother’s temple. I haven’t been able to find the mana I felt then.”
Suddenly, memories of Niflheim came to me.
Unlike Optum, who liked that the end of revenge was near, Nefertiti seemed somehow calm. She didn’t calm the burning flesh, she just felt detached.
It was because she couldn’t find the mana she was looking for even against Equinox, which could be called the last Immortalis.
“Somewhere I don’t know, maybe he died at the hands of someone other than me. Or maybe she was just a warlock living in hiding and doing evil deeds. I just thought so.”
But no.
Narmer-Nile had the most warlocks, so he might have narrowed his field of vision.
“Even though a black magician strong enough to destroy a city——isn’t necessarily unique to this country.”
A white shadow stood at the top of the hill.
With the mana of darkness and negativity wrapped around his whole body.
