Chapter 386 – 109. Memory of the Six Temples (4)
The other party, who did not know the meaning of the text, just watched the screen in silence.
After a while A view of the earth unfolded on a giant screen.
“So many demons…”
Like Lillia said. There was not the slightest trace of other humans on the screen. Earth was already a world ruled by demons.
“Looks like you’ve gotten a lot stronger than those Mahones we just encountered.”
I said that and looked at the screen. The appearance was quite different from the demons who clumsily resembled witches and monsters.
Although it is not possible to accurately confirm the magic power on the screen. A gigantic size that far surpasses that of a human. Reptile-like integument. Red eyes.
100 years after the last humans became extinct. It seems that the old man who turned into a monster went through his own evolutionary process.
‘If that’s enough, even with the current Witch Beast…’
But that was the moment.
Gyyyying-
Among those thousands of demons. Suddenly, a huge light shone with a roar.
“Is that…?”
Everyone paid more attention to the screen. An intense light exploded as if a bomb had exploded. And where the light disappeared, only the body of the demon remained.
“That sounds like Jedin’s Divine Spell. A great spell of light…”
Lillia was right. Although it was like an attack through missiles. The light spread across the screen more like the manifestation of a divine spell than the explosion of a fire weapon.
‘I don’t think Genesis is…’
A scene similar to the one before continued on the screen.
A bombardment of missiles attacking those monsters. I was able to intuit that the bombardment started from that obelisk now, an artificial intelligence machine.
In an instant, light green divine power shone again from Lillia’s body.
“Jedine’s will is shining. The holy light to purify the earth from the malice of those old humans who turned into demonic beasts…”
Perhaps for 100 years, the system called Jedin has created a means of attack to exterminate that demon from the ground.
I heard that artificial intelligence identified the existence of mana.
Improve the remaining legacy of earth science technology and the use of mana yourself. It seems that they have created a new weapon.
‘The power that will later be called divine power.’
And the attack on the Witchbeast wasn’t the only one. Another bombardment followed.
“Could that be Unir’s power…?”
The darkness created by bombing.
The darkness covered the sky like dark clouds. The darkness thus created covered the sun and froze the ground.
‘The power of Unir. That jet-black mana must be drunk.’
I could see the demons who couldn’t stand the cold and were dying. The time and date quickly moved up on the screen as if they had turned their speed up. Several decades passed on the screen.
“It’s like watching an endless day and night together.”
Like Chloe said. The place where Jedin’s bombing takes place is eternal day. Eternal night continued where Unir’s bombardment took place.
The following white night and polar night. Either way, there was no place for the witch to stand.
Thus, the two artificial intelligences, Jedin and Unir, erased the demons from the ground.
“The Genesis of the Two Lords. The creation of the world began with the purification of the world polluted by demons.”
With that said, it seemed to me now that I knew exactly why Jedin and Unir had the words Genesis displayed on the screen.
‘It must have been judged that there is no future for the earth with humans who have become witches.’
In the first place, mana, the power of the bounded world, would not have been for the old people. Even if humanity could have used that power. Energy that should have been developed under control after identifying its principles, like nuclear power.
However, the Old Man-ryu recklessly used that mana as a weapon.
There was no way that the old man had a good mana affinity. Rather, it seems that he was exposed to that mana and eventually became a demonic beast.
The divine punishment against those demons was unfolding before my eyes.
“An evil creature that slaughter and devour even its own people in order to increase its own strength… The two gods could no longer watch it.”
Erin said so.
As the saying goes, the end of the old human race chosen by the two artificial intelligences is extinction. The time when I kept watching the scene where the beasts were being punished.
The eyes of the companions suddenly changed.
“Wait, what about that one?”
I also focused on the screen.
The magic beasts who were helplessly attacked by Jedin and Unir. Those demonic beasts, who were probably the last ones left, created something.
“Is that a gate?”
I nodded my head at Chloe’s words. The door to that dimension that must have looked like a gate. And the monsters were escaping beyond that gate.
“To avoid divine punishment, the demon beasts eventually found a last resort.”
“Then, does that mean that the divine punishment of the two gods… The annihilation of the Demon Beast was not completely successful?”
At my words, Lilia nodded her head.
“Even though all of those evil beings were annihilated on earth. Some escaped the ground just like that. Those few monsters must be the seeds of anxiety left behind by future generations…”
After saying that, Lilia went and stood in front of the obelisk.
“This is Genesis, the end of the first act.”
In the meantime, the time recorded on the giant screen has passed thousands of years.
I turned her head towards Lilia. All eyes were on the two obelisks, Jedin and Unir.
During that time, the appearance of the obelisk was also different from the first time. Between the two obelisks. Suddenly, a huge incubator was in place.
“And the two gods conceived a new life.”
Incubator with blue liquid. And there was something in it.
“That’s… Two baby dragons?”
At Chloe’s words, Lilia nodded her head.
“Yes. Those two dragons are the origins of the new human race created by Jedin and Unir. In other words…”
Everyone then held their breath and waited. Lilia continued.
“He is the ancestor of all mankind living in Island.”
And the scenery around him soon changed.
***
The party entered another space from the previous building.
I learned to some extent the truth of the beginning left behind by the memories of the 6 temples. Even the source of the witchcraft. But still many mysteries remain.
“Where else is this?”
Chloe said. The place where the party was located was not a building.
Somewhere outside. However, unlike previous memories, the surrounding scenery became familiar.
‘No. More than that, the atmospheric mana has returned as usual.’
My friends seem to feel it too.
“I can perceive mana as usual!”
Rosette exclaimed.
“The scenery nearby is also a strange world we saw… No, it’s different from the world where the old humans were.”
“Although it is run-down like a country corner. At least it seems to be similar to the landscape of Island.”
Like Chloe said. Looking around, it was like the inside of a castle.
And at the same time, the facial expressions of the party changed.
“I can feel the magic power!”
Lilia cried. And at that moment, the party was surrounded by demons.
‘Masu? How many?’
Nearly dozens of monsters attacked the party all at once. Chloe exclaimed.
“There are too many demon beasts!”
“Calm down! Because this side has enough power!”
But I wasn’t taken aback. If it’s the current couple. Even with non-combatants Eirin and Cecilia, there is no big problem.
‘Because all the students represent the order.’
Rather, those demons are more dangerous than us.
Also, without any instructions. The party hurriedly rushed into battle. In between. The castle guards also joined in and fought alongside us.
After an hour-long battle. The dozens of demons surrounding the party were finally dealt with.
“Phew. Most of them are like type 2 or higher monsters. To think that such a high-ranking monster would come at such a time. Is this the inside of a super-high-level dungeon that has become a kingdom?”
“It doesn’t look like a dungeon. If you see me.”
Looking around, I saw many dead bodies of civilians, not soldiers.
Civilians can’t live in dungeons. It seems that the monsters have broken through the castle’s defenses and entered.
Just then, a group of soldiers approached us. They were the ones who fought together a little while ago. They said
‘Yes? What do you mean?’
He looked at us as if he was surprised and shouted. I couldn’t hear that. No, I hear words that can be inferred to some extent.
Still, it was a completely different word from the imperial language currently used. And the composition of the soldiers was also unusual.
“Are those people elves? And there are dwarves too. Among human soldiers.”
Chloe was right.
Something that cannot be seen in the common sense of Ireland. A combination of humans and demons. And judging from the unified uniforms, it seemed that everyone was the guards of this castle.
I was puzzled by the words I couldn’t understand. At that time, Erti exclaimed excitedly.
[It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of the old imperial language! Julian, if you beg me, especially if I can translate…]
But Erti didn’t even have a chance to step out. Lilia joined Cecilia and started talking to her guards.
[I think it will be enough without Erti’s help.]
[Mo… It’s my turn to step out…]
Although Erti’s voice became hoarse. It didn’t matter to me.
Rather, I focused on Lilia and Cecilia. Like Erti said, the language used by the soldiers was called the ancient language.
‘Then where the party is…’
Perhaps the Old Empire. To the days of the Old Empire, which existed long before the Holy Ramir Empire. The companions seem to have entered.
‘Lilia and Cecilia can understand that. Maybe it’s the end of the Old Empire.’
The Old Empire is the ancestor of the current Islanders, not the old people.
So if it’s a language from the end of the Old Empire period. Unlike the Old Imperial language of the more ancient age. People who could use it to some extent also existed in the Empire.
‘I don’t know if it’s a rune, but if it’s a word at that point. It’s possible for Liliana or Cecilia.’
Both of them are knowledgeable enough to be incomparable to ordinary imperials. While I was talking to them.
Before entering this place. I briefly recalled the last scene I saw.
Jedin and Yunir. A giant obelisk of two artificial intelligences. The incubator and new life that existed in between. And what Lilia said.
‘The founder of the Irish.’
If so, a pair of baby dragons. It means the common ancestor of humans and demons.
‘It’s a story that would frighten the common sense of the people of the empire.’
In the Holy Ramir Empire, demons are creatures of evil that are reluctant to even mention. But in the end, it meant the same human race going back to the source.
Humanity started with a pair of dragons. Come to think of it, it wasn’t all that strange.
‘In the first place, my existence itself is of mixed human and demonic blood.’
Although their appearance and physical abilities are very different. Like my parents, I was able to mate and give birth to children. So, as a species, it means the same.
As if to prove that fact. The guards of the Old Empire in front of me were a mixture of humans and demons.
And the fact that the progenitor of the Irish was a dragon. I wanted to think a little more. Because I was also half a demonic dragon, half a dragon.
But then, Lilia and Cecilia turned towards the two of them. And the soldiers all bowed and greeted us.
“Those soldiers are very grateful to us. They say they see us and are the messengers of Jedin and Unir…”
Beside Lilia who said that, Cecilia was smiling. Cecilia was weak to praise like that.
I looked around. Suddenly, the inside of the castle was dark. It was night.
‘Is it because it is relatively close to the present day of Island? It seems that the sense of reality has increased.’
It seems that a little fatigue from the previous battle has accumulated. The faces of the companions were also a little drowsy.
Lillia looked at the reaction and said.
“They said they wanted to treat us at Yeongju-gwan! It’s nighttime, so why don’t we move there?”
At that, among the guards, I saw a man with more fancy armor. He was like the lord of this castle.
He once again bowed his head towards his party. I said to Lilia.
“I’d love to do that.”
The party moved to the Yeongju Hall. And before dinner. When I entered the room of the lodging that the lord gave me for a while.
Someone hurriedly opened the door to my room and came in.
