Chapter 120 – The Hero Runs (1)
Episode 120: The Hero Escapes (1)
“You don’t have to talk to me anymore. Don’t you remember the day you received the oracle again, you asked me not to look for me?”
After her regression, at the time she received the oracle again, Retina was in a state of exhaustion due to her infinite memories.
I wanted to go somewhere and rest.
The hero repeatedly asked the saintess who trusted him.
The saintess was considerate of the confused hero, and she hid the fact that she had received an oracle.
“Well, the high priest must have been in a hurry, so he tried various ways to bring me to the battlefield, but he ignored them all. Hero, hero, it was so annoying.”
Around the time the war was nearing its end, the High Priestess, who knew this, spread rumors in a hurry.
And with the help of the countries that signed the agreement using the power of the church, they were in a hurry to find the resting hero.
Of course, Retina ignored it.
She struggled to ward off the subordinates of the High Priestess who came to her somehow.
“I still trusted you. At least you respected my wishes.”
After, Retina blew on her fingernails.
As the dust blows away from her, he fidgets and then grabs her hand.
“I was a fool for being naive. Unlike before, I would openly stand on the side of the devil. Lesilia, let’s ask honestly.”
Retina stands up slowly.
He brushes off the dirt from her ass and puts her hand on her waist.
A slightly crooked gaze.
Lesilia, who gathered her hands together near her belly button as if praying, quietly looked at her.
“Did you also return?”
Lesilia lowered her eyes and stared into space as if lost in her thoughts.
White dust floats in the middle of the beam of light that escapes through the iron bars.
The moment the moonlight rose over the shadowed eyelids, the blue eyes suddenly took on a different color.
“Does the hero have any reason to think so?”
“I thought it was a little strange from the time I received the oracle from you.
I’m quite used to dealing with a returning hero, a hero with a different gender but with all the memories.”
“You are the warrior Goddess Gaia chose.
Even if the appearance is different, the soul is the same, so of course you can’t help but recognize it.”
“You know I didn’t mean it that way. Lesilia.”
Retina took a step closer.
She was half a span taller than Lesilia, and her eyes naturally went down.
From the beginning of her memory until now, Lesilia has had the same appearance.
Hair that looks like it has been beautifully woven into platinum-colored skeins.
Neat and elegant features.
When the neat eyelids that cover the innocent pupils lift and curve.
She made the hearts of many men flutter.
After going through the exhausting and exhausting ascetic road, go to the temple.
The saintess in her memory always welcomed her with a soft smile.
“You seemed to know the situation I was in beforehand.”
The Lesilia in front of her was completely different in her behavior, even though her body and face, and the holy aura surrounding her body, were the same as before.
“And you were the one who mentioned the root of the World Tree.”
“… “
“How much do you know?”
It was the saintess who properly informed the hero of the legend of the root of the World Tree, just as she was fleeing after receiving the oracle.
Although she didn’t suspect it at the time.
Along with rumors that she had surrendered herself to the demon king, she was astonished at the fact that she had made herself her slave.
If she was a saint the hero knew, there was absolutely no way she would do something like that.
She was Lesilia who was more sincere than anyone else in her mission to protect and protect the human world.
Defeat of the human world means destruction soon.
The saintess could not be unaware of this.
“If she didn’t regress, did she have something else?”
Retina was suspicious of the suspicious saintess’ movements.
Despite knowing that in the end she would be branded as a traitor in the human world, Lesilia acted like an ally of the Demon King.
“… “
But Lesilia chose her silence.
For some reason, she didn’t ask any more because she expected that he wouldn’t answer.
Retina’s real interest wasn’t that one.
‘When are Nancy and Olivia coming?’
Retina, with her arms crossed, glances over her shoulder as she taps her fingertips.
A mud wall with nothing on it. If the warp zone is over there, you must wait at the temple with your colleagues.
‘Three minutes. All plans must be finished within three minutes.’
Before that, Nancy must unlock her restraining sphere with the magic key she found, but her body is free.
Retina slowly turned her wrist to check her presence.
Still, Nancy and Olivia hadn’t even come close.
“How far do you know… Well. I am just a creature created by the Creator. But…”
The moment she opens her mouth, her powerful holy power spreads like her roots centered on her chest.
Retina hesitated and took a backward step at the holy air current that seemed like it would be purified just by touching it.
“I know the beginning and end of this world.”
After uttering her meaningful words, Lesilia put her hands together.
A pure white spell was drawn over her head.
Holy law
It was a technique of those who could use it once they reached the maximum level of holy power.
Aside from empathizing with the pain and suffering of others, her heart to protect and protect creates noble strength.
“… !!”
Holy power entered the confinement room like a wave.
Brilliant lumps of light flutter around the room like butterflies.
It wasn’t beautiful, but it was a scene where admiration came out naturally.
Retina quickly noticed what the saintess was doing.
“Lesilia!”
“The communication magic engraved on your body and the soon-to-be-appearing warp zone have all been nullified.”
“Uh, how… That!”
“The owner told me.”
Retina hurriedly scanned the lobe of her ear.
The subtle mana was gone.
The main weapon of the Holy Law was neither destruction nor eradication, but nullification.
Even when I tried to solve her spell, it was cumbersome and difficult unlike magic.
Retina pressed her lower lip and quickly judged the situation.
‘The rescue plan must have leaked through Nancy.’
Retina was convinced.
Because the hero who received her oracle was given the divine power to confront the demon world.
Neither the demon king’s brainwashing skill nor the injecting demonic energy could purify them, so they couldn’t make a binding contract.
“Now you have to surrender. Retina.”
“I will ask you one thing. Lesilia, why are you helping the fake demon lord?”
Ever since she heard from an expedition member that she was on the side of the Demon King, she was curious.
Retina knew right away that the demon king was not originally Ikarut.
The saintess also thought that there was no way she didn’t know this.
If she didn’t know, she was going to teach me the truth.
There’s a soul you don’t know about inside the body of Demon Lord Ikarut.
“… The wheel of fortune no longer guides you.”
“I heard it stuck in my ears, but it’s hard to understand. So can you tell me easily? Lesilia.”
Again, the wheel of fortune.
Retina already had a tired expression on her face.
Lumps of light shining brightly around and fluttering.
In the meantime, Lesilia, standing still, places her hand on her chest.
Retina, who was wary of her extremely holy figure, flinched in an instant.
“This world is a place that constantly repeats itself.
Because the world has always revolved around you.”
“Going back to my center… ? What does that mean?”
“Rex Etia. Originally, you were the main character of this world.”
Am I the main character of this world? So, the world revolves around me?
Retina’s doubts rather grew at the fact that she couldn’t believe at first.
“But not anymore. The Wheel of Fortune has been transferred to the demon king Ikarut.”
“What… ! Make it easy to understand!”
Her mind was confused.
Does the world I live in revolve around me?
The words themselves were unrealistic and difficult to accept.
“Don’t dazzle me with strange sounds. What is Lesilia up to?”
Retina, knowing that her saintess was confusing herself, raised her eyes.
The person who spat out the meaningful words puts his hands together.
Lesilia, putting her praying hand to her mouth, spoke softly.
“It means that you are no longer the main character of this world.”
Retina was not on the wheel of fortune, she said.
In other words, the main character of this world is Ikarut.
Retina, who wiped her forehead, burst into laughter.
“… Did you stand on that side just because the Demon King is the main character?”
No way.
For just that reason, I laughed out loud that I had gone to the Demon King.
Lesilia was a saint blessed by Goddess Gaia.
“There’s nothing special about being a saint. Lesilia, aren’t you crazy because you’re always by the demon lord’s side?”
“The hero must be feeling it too. The people who helped you and valued you remember them differently than before.”
Kuuk, Retina clenched her fists tightly.
She couldn’t argue with that.
As soon as she returned, somewhere in the world had a routine as if a tiara had been screwed into Rex.
Her beloved sister, Lucy, did not recognize Rex.
Memories of her native village also treated Rex as a distant person.
Even the colleagues who organized her expedition differed slightly in their behavior and memories.
“Under… So you want me to believe what you said?”
“I don’t care if you believe me or not. It is a fact that I came to know naturally after being born from Goddess Gaia.”
“Damn it, don’t be funny!”
Retina couldn’t stand it and finally screamed.
The world created by the Creator Goddess, as it turned out, was a world for warriors.
Now is the world for the devil? It was nonsensical bullshit.
“It doesn’t matter if the main character of this world is a fake demon king or whatever. I will get my body back, the memories of Lucy and the villagers back, and I will return to my daily life, not being a hero.”
Looking back at her regressive memories, I realized.
Rex Etia has never lived her life for herself.
She made only noble sacrifices for the cause and for the sake of others.
He burned her life and killed the monster.
She jumped alone into the battlefield and defeated the demon king and the army.
Some say
She said she was envious of being the target of many people’s envy.
At first, she was happy and proud, but as time passed, her futility came to her.
“Now you want to live for me!”
She wanted to live as Tia in Rex, not as a hero.
She did not want to make constant sacrifices, nor did she need great wealth and glory.
Even if she has wealth and glory, when she dies, she goes back to the beginning again.
It was futile. I hated living as a hero protecting the human world every day.
“Hero… “
“Don’t call me a warrior. Just hearing it makes me sick.”
Communication magic and the warp zone were also nullified.
I was a little reluctant to choose the next best option, but I couldn’t help it since the situation was like this.
The restraining sphere touched by the holy power is in a faded state.
It seemed that the restraining sphere would break if the mana was poured aggressively.
“In this world, the same thing repeats anyway, doesn’t it? Doesn’t that mean that even if the world perishes once, it will recover again?”
Thanks to the overflowing holy power, the tired body was quickly restored.
Retina took a deep breath and raised her mana.
Paper weave! Dismissed! Lightning-like sparks flew from the restraints, which gradually turned into powder.
“… !!”
Lesilia, as if realizing her seriousness, quickly unfolded her spell.
Before she could even reach her last name, she snapped off the restraining sphere.
Retina on her wall doing her back roll.
I get down on one knee, calming her agitated body, thanks to the doubled and tripled sensations in her whole body.
“See you in the next life. Lesilia.”
She opened her inventory in the air.
Then, he took out her teleport scroll and quickly tore it apart.
Pod!
At the same time, Retina disappeared after being warped.
What happened in just a few seconds.
The warrior ran away.
“… Ha… “
Lesilia’s eyes were very sad as she looked at her missing hero.
