Chapter 121 – The Hero Runs (2)
Episode 121: The Hero Escapes (2)
“… Being a saint isn’t much different than I thought… “
In the place where the hero disappeared, there was only light mana.
Under the silent moonlight.
Lesilia muttered as if she was grumbling, sat down as if her strength was exhausted, and put her hands together.
“In the end, I hurt the hero… “
At the time of her confrontation with the hero, the cold and indifferent atmosphere of her saintess changed at once.
I crossed her name to calm her down. Her fingertips trembled as she felt guilty for hurting her unconsciously.
“It’s okay to talk about the principles of the world now. In the past, I couldn’t even utter the word protagonist.”
Lesilia held her slender neck.
Every time she mentioned the principles of the world to the warrior who received the oracle, her lips stuck together like glue.
In severe cases, an unknown energy choked her and threatened her life.
‘The main protagonist here is the hero, but other protagonists also exist.’
Their scenarios always went through Saint Lesilia.
But the center of the world revolved around the warrior. He was also the person who had the greatest contact with the saintess.
Even when Retina was hiding her body, Lesilia had no choice but to keep an eye on her person.
Even if the main character has changed, originally this world was for Retina.
I didn’t know what variables would come if the main character refused to follow the planned path.
“… Fool… You expected this to happen in the first place.”
There was a truth that Retina couldn’t tell anymore.
From a certain moment on, she was the first to learn about the recurring world.
In a dream that showed various endings, such as the warrior defeating the demon king, or the demon king who won the war cutting off the head of the saintess.
A terribly long and realistic dream, but a dream you don’t even remember when you wake up.
After that dream, an oracle came down.
‘She didn’t know from the start. I dismissed it as a mere dream. Because every time the oracle came down, I saw the hero’s face for the first time.’
The contents of the dream, blurry like dark clouds, gradually became clearer enough to awaken the senses.
She once had a longing mixed with her affection for the hero Rex, so Lesilia wanted to tell her her future.
However, the world did not allow this.
One day, while having a dream in which various endings in the world were repeated in each episode, a meaningful oracle came down.
[The order of Artis’ world will be greatly modified (patched)]
[Start update, 0.7%… 15%… ]
From then on, the course of the demon king Ikarut changed drastically.
The time of the Great War was suddenly brought forward.
The hero’s death ahead of schedule.
The first thing I noticed was Saint Lesilia.
“I hoped… She didn’t know that he would really come here… “
Lesilia pressed her chest hard.
The saintess dreamed twice while trying to realize her dream.
The first is a dream related to the world of Artis.
The second is about a man.
“I was amazed that you always liked me, even though I was nothing.”
The person I saw every day in a dream that I wouldn’t even remember when I opened my eyes.
Objects and paintings that resembled him were scattered throughout the mysterious room.
When she talked about herself, she was delighted with a nonchalant expression.
And most of all, she helped move the world where there are warriors, demon kings, and saints.
‘From the moment I met the Demon King for the first time, I was sure it was him.’
Although I saw her in her dreams, her face was foggy.
His habit of tapping his fingers when he is in trouble, the way he leisurely drinks tea in front of a huge lump of scrap metal, and his generous heart toward a poisonous saint, etc.
As I compared his various aspects, my thoughts became stronger.
He is the person I saw in my dreams.
“If he is, he will save the world of Artis.”
After Retina, the hero of this generation, received an oracle, another oracle came down shortly after.
[The manager of Artis, the goddess Gaia, checks the order of the world]
[During the maintenance, the final end of the Atis world, the end of the world, is declared by the Creator’s decision]
.
.
.
[After today, stop loop function]
[Stop strengthening the gates governing the rifts in each world]
[…Stop]
.
.
.
‘The world is about to end… ?’
Several transparent windows were lined up in front of my eyes.
Unlike usual, where only one or two appeared, there were many.
All of them were hopeless.
[The original stranger is actively intervening in the world’s scenario]
[Goddess Gaia, who was watching with interest, redesigns the order centering on strangers]
[This may change the content of the end]
In an instant, the contents of the oracle appeared that caught Lesilia’s eyes.
The original stranger. Order redesign.
And when I heard that the contents of the apocalypse would change, I instantly felt hope.
“We can prevent destruction… “
I saw the end of the world endlessly in my dream. Whatever the end, the world itself did not perish.
“Even if I can’t be of much help, I might be of some help to him.”
He was able to save everyone through his ending.
Even if the human world is declared doomed, the order and ecosystem will only change.
It will not kill all living things.
All the while, she watched him in her dreams, so Lesilia had her faith.
She was the only saint who knew the oracle that the world would end.
“I’m used to being hated by someone.”
She declared defeat to the demon king early. She was stigmatized as a traitor by all nations and people, including the Order.
She was misunderstood bitterly by the warrior she longed for.
Had to eat hard on her heart.
The way to prevent the destruction of the world is dictated by his ending.
‘… Did you stand on that side just because the Demon King is the main character?’
The words that Retina uttered in anger put a dagger into her.
Being next to the demon king just because he’s the main character?
As soon as I heard this, I wanted to vehemently deny it. Angry, Retina didn’t give her a break and poured it all over.
“You shouldn’t know that I like you as much as Kang Han-nim likes me, who is lacking.”
Momentarily, Lesilia touched the leash that Icarut had attached to her, and put her lips on the connected chain.
As time passed, the dream related to the world became clearer.
Conversely, the man’s dreams were clouded.
She was afraid that she might forget.
Lesilia, who was in a bit of a hurry, tried everything she could to find him.
Kang Han Kwon.
The name she had barely found in her last dream.
As soon as she woke up that day, she picked up the paper prepared on the table and even wrote frantically with an ink pen.
“I’ll be by my side to help you, Master, to end the world.”
Lesilia, who had her eyes closed, lifted her tightly closed eyelids.
Her moonlight shone beautifully on the blue eyes she received.

“Tsk… I wonder why I can’t reach you.”
The great sage, Delphine, had secretly entered the castle.
Although she communicated hundreds of times with telecommunication magic. The expedition team remained silent.
“I deliberately increased the opening time of the warp zone… Still not coming.”
Delphine taps her finger between her brows and sighs.
From the moment I entered the castle, communication magic was disrupted.
She solved it easily, but she didn’t respond even when she contacted Olivia and Nancy.
The Retina side was not touched at all. Due to her divine and powerful aura blocking it, she eventually gave up on her communications.
“At least, it must be the work of the saintess. If the warp zone was also neutralized, the teleport scroll would have to be torn.”
But that would be impossible.
The hero was arrested and was in a confinement room. Even if he used magical powers, there was no way his body would be fine because of the strange function of the restraints.
“If it were a saint, I wouldn’t just watch it… “
There was no way the saintess who had sided with the demon king would easily let go of her hero.
Lesilia, who had learned her voice, was a sage with a high level of skill that even the greatest sages acknowledged.
Delphine had to make the most unpleasant choice of his conceived sub-optimal options.
“As expected, this body has to go in and save it.”
So anyway, that’s annoying.
Delphine, with her short tongue, brushes her bangs.
The great sage, who has been moving his feet stealthily, is wary of all directions and casts a cognitive decline magic.
‘This should be fine.’
She casts spells without chanting, though her magic effectiveness drops by 10%.
She was a great sage who reached the highest level of mana.
Standing close to her wall, Delphine sticks her head out.
‘Hmm… It must be much later than planned.’
Outside the demon castle, numerous soldiers were encamped.
In particular, the army of wizards made up the state, and was protecting the vicinity of the gate.
Delphine squeezed the cape of her cloak tightly and pulled something of her own into her inner pocket.
Wriggling… Wriggling…
A special type of nucleus with miniaturization magic.
Delphine researched, experimented with, and replicated for various purposes.
The Chokgae I just pulled out absorbs demonic energy, makes it my own, and adds an adsorption function so that I can attack twice as much.
Delphine naturally raised her mana.
“Oh, ♡ You have a good masturbation tool~? ♡ I have a good one too, would you like to share it? ♡”
“This is not a tool for self-defense… This!”
Quaang!
Delphine wields her wand loudly.
Arrows of fire rose as they cut through her.
Naturally, he follows her from behind and attacks.
“Heungheung~♡ What is it♡ Wasn’t it? Sheesh, no fun♡”
Lilith, a high-ranking demon succubus, easily avoided the attack.
“Tsk, the plan has gone a lot further than I thought.”
“Plan?♡ What is it? Did you make a lascivious plan?
“Like a vulgar succubus!”
“Thank you for the compliment♡”
Delphine, suddenly confronted by Lilith, the 7th high-ranking demon, prepares to attack again.
‘I don’t want to choose to risk my life if possible.’
Delphine vigorously spun the 9 mana circles around her heart.
