Chapter 393 – 111. Unir, Goddess of Darkness (3)
The will, not the upbringing, resonated in my head.
Ruiril and Erti also conveyed their will instead of words. The feeling was quite different.
‘A saint of fate? Obviously, he told me that.’
These are words spoken by God himself.
I was a black-haired woman who instinctively got down on one knee and appeared here. I paid my respects to Unir, the goddess of darkness.
“Your creature greets you.”
At the same time as I said, the other party members knelt together.
Even if she wasn’t a demon, the woman who appeared in front of her right now was an existence that transcended humans. There was no way my friends didn’t know either.
Unir, nodding lightly at her party, spoke through her will.
[The rest of darkness will bless you.]
After saying that, Yunir’s gaze turned to another person this time.
[And you are the star for the future I have been waiting for with the saint of destiny.]
Everyone’s eyes turned to Lucia. Although the hair color is different. Surprisingly, Yunir’s face resembled Lucia’s.
She called Lucia a star for the future.
‘Could it be Unir’s star?’
At that moment, many thoughts ran through my head. I decided not to rush. Because this was the moment to receive the dark goddess who had been missing for a long time.
It was then.
In this hall, which seems to be the Great Hall. A terrible scream rang out.
Kyaaaaa
“What about that sound?”
Chloe exclaimed. It sounds like a woman’s scream. It was a scream that resembled a demon’s roar.
Unir moved his black wings and looked back for a moment. Her expression hardened.
[As expected, there is not much time left.]
Her gaze went further down. Beyond the hall. There was a staircase that seemed to lead down to this hall.
[The fact that you guys have arrived at the Great Central Temple must mean that you have seen all the memories of the past. There is no time now On the verge of destroying even the final seal held by these six temples…]
Unir with folded wings came down and stood in front of me.
[If even the current seal is destroyed, Knoia will be resurrected. The power of that terrible chaos that even I couldn’t stop. So you, saint of destiny.]
Unir gently cupped her palms on my cheeks.
[Please destroy my contaminated body.]
A deep sorrow, and a determination to protect her creation nonetheless. Unir’s firm will has been transmitted to me.
She turned around and stood in front of Lucia.
[And you, Star of Unir. You will protect my last remaining will.]
At the same time, Yunir’s wings wrapped around Lucia. Then Unir’s appearance became blurred, and Unir’s spiritual body permeated Lucia as if possessed.
“Miss Lucia!”
At that moment, I held up Lucia’s body as she was about to fall unconscious.
Lillia hurriedly approached and confirmed her Lucia’s condition.
“Lucia-sama is fine. He seems to have accepted God’s will and temporarily lost consciousness.”
“God’s will? Then Lucia…”
“Yes. Perhaps like I am the saint of Jedin. Lucia-sama seems to have a special body that can accept Unir’s will as it is.”
Lucia was not a demon, but I felt suspicious for a moment.
Sooner or later, Lucia’s lineage, Orha. She came up with a rumor that demon blood was mixed in that family.
“And unlike me, who borrows Jedin’s divine power, Lucia directly accepted Unir’s will manifested on the ground. So, the current Lucia-sama has temporarily become Unir’s holy body.”
“Does that mean Lucia-san’s body was borrowed by Unir?”
At Chloe’s words, Lilia nodded her head.
“Perhaps he lost consciousness for a moment while assimilating with Unir’s will. So that Lucia can calm her down…”
For a second, Rosette flew away on a magic wand, and then he brought a blanket from somewhere.
“I had a room nearby!”
As much as before. It is likely that there was a bed for the priests to bind. After about an hour had passed since I laid Lucia down like that.
Lucia opened her eyes again.
***
Lucia’s eyes were hazy.
It was the same expression as the moment she was in charge of guiding her in the underground 6 temple. I approached her side of Lucia and asked her.
“Lucia. Is her body okay?”
But Lucia didn’t answer. And after a while Surprisingly, she has the same color as her eyes and hair. She turned black.
And she opened her mouth and said
“I’m sorry, Lucia. It’s like I took her body for a while.”
That moment. I noticed that the woman in front of me was Unir, not Lucia.
“Goddess…”
“There is no need to look for courtesy. Saint Now, the time I can borrow Lucia’s body like this isn’t long. Hour is in a hurry. So everyone here, listen to me.”
Everyone paid attention to Unir.
“As you already guessed. These 6 underground temples are the seals to suppress Knoia’s magical power that was sealed in my body. And it is the last of the five seals left by Jedin and his six gods.”
A brief explanation followed.
Already through Lilia, she knew that Unir, who had sealed Knoia directly into her own body, had cut her into 5 parts.
“Jedin, along with his apostles, created a seal in the same form as the current 6 temples.”
And although the humans who followed Jedin’s will managed the five temples scattered throughout Island.
With the fall of the old empire, the temple was forgotten from human memory.
“And the four Keatic Gates that appeared after the seal of the temple was destroyed…”
Unir nodded at Lillia’s words.
“That means the power Knoia had when she defeated me. It means that I have already regained 80% of that evil god’s power. Only here. Although the final six shrines left one seal behind. Now even the power of that seal has reached its limit.”
Zodiac Teria is a place called Saint Teria in the past. Before the great war with the demons, the holy land’s sacred power maintained the power of the seal.
Due to the great war with the demons, many priests were sacrificed.
“That great war was also the will of Knoia, which had already been freed… It was a war that was caused by the intervention of that will.”
And the seal of the 6 temples that loosened because of that, through that gap. Some of Knoia’s magical power leaked out.
“That’s why the magic power created the fifth Keiatic Gate in Guhwangdo.”
“Yes. Saint However, your parents sacrificed their lives to seal the door to that terrible magic power. So there is a grace period of 20 years. In addition, the sacred academy located above these 6 temples desperately suppressed the final seal…”
Unir’s expression darkened. Perhaps the situation was not good.
“Now even that seal is on the verge of being lifted.”
I hurriedly asked Unir.
“Then, how long until the seal is broken?”
“Seven minutes in mortal time.”
At those words, the faces of his companions hardened.
“That means, in 7 minutes, the Keiatic Gate will open in Guhwang Island…”
Unir shook her head at Lillia’s words.
“No. Things will happen on a completely different level from the gates of the demons that you have been through until now. To say that the five seals are broken. It means that Knoia will be completely resurrected as an evil spirit.”
“That means…”
“Like the empire, no, the old empire was destroyed. It means the end of the world is coming.”
Everyone’s expressions became serious. 7 minutes is too short a time.
Moreover, everyone in the party already knew from memory how dangerous Knoy, who had become an evil spirit, was.
Chloe’s white face grew even paler.
“How can such a terrible evil spirit be destroyed by human power…”
I raised my hand and stopped the others from speaking.
“It seems that Unir still has more to say. Everyone should calm down.”
Yunir nodded his head.
“My lord, you are right. Fortunately, this space is different from the present world and time. Until the seal is broken. It means there are still seven days left.”
And Yunir pointed his finger at himself.
“I sealed Knoia in my body. That’s why Knoia, who is sealed deep underground, is now borrowing my body.”
“That word. Does that mean that dealing with Knoia is like dealing with a goddess?”
“You are right. Knoia swallowed my body. Until a new gate was created with the magic power. I will have no choice but to use my body.”
I understood Yunir’s words. She said.
“So, how to deal with Knoia, who exists in this fifth seal. That means I, the original owner of that body, know better than anyone else.”
“So you’re saying Unir can stop that Knoia?”
Unir shook his head at Lillia’s words. And after looking around everyone. She said.
“No. Dealing with Knoia who was released from the seal. It is you.”
***
Only 7 days left.
After 7 days, the final seal will be released. The four seals released earlier are all Keiatic Gates.
Permafrost, one of the Chaotic Gates. Considering that the Empire’s elite, the Knights of the White Nights and the Essenmund Corps, are needed to stop the permafrost.
Seven days later, the enemy the party had to encounter. It was clear that no matter how many representatives of the Pantheon’s cadets, the party here was an opponent they could not bear to defend.
‘But Unir said only we could do it.’
The goddess of darkness, who borrowed Lucia’s body, said.
‘You are the ones chosen by Jedin and his 6 gods. So only you can deal with the fifth seal, the Corrupted Dwarf.’
And a part of Knoia that will be revealed right after the fifth seal is broken. The fifth seal, called the Corrupted Dwarf, said to borrow Yunir’s body.
Yunir stood before his party. She borrowed Lucia’s body. Unir drew Lucia’s sword, Akierin.
“So if you can deal with me now. You guys should be able to stop that corrupt dwarf star.”
Like Unir said. A monster that is a combination of Knoia and Unir. Although the other five also had their own roles. I was the one who dealt directly with that corrupted dwarf.
“There are only seven days left. I will throw all my remaining strength against you.”
I nodded. 7 days remaining. In order to deal with the Corrupted Dwarf, I decided to receive direct guidance from Yunir.
Now, before that full-scale training. Unir decided to check my skills.
I pulled Siertia out of the scabbard.
“A holy sword blessed by Jedin. Its brilliance can be said to be a famous sword honoring the gods. It’s still not enough to deal with the dwarf.”
Like Unir said. Here in the underground temple, Siertia also decided to go through the adjustment once again.
“But no matter what excellent sword you have. The perfection of a sword is made by the owner who uses it. Yulian, what level are you at?”
“Let the Goddess check it out for herself.”
The corners of Eunir’s mouth went up at those words.
“Pride is a blessing I bestowed upon the demons. Looking forward to it.”
And Unir’s mood changed. The suffocating Magi that I saw in my memory didn’t take out even a bit.
‘There are too many gaps… To the point of absurdity.’
There are so many gaps that you can’t even think of a prosecutor. Originally beautiful Lucia.
So Unir, who had a strange smile on her face, just like her face. Like a beautiful young lady from an aristocratic family playing with a sword. I didn’t feel like a competent prosecutor at all.
But my instincts were telling me. Opponent in front of you. It’s higher than any opponent I’ve ever faced.
“Then, saint. I will teach you the true way to use magic.”
Right at that moment. I feel like my throat is about to be cut. I felt the same sensation as Yeji.
‘What…’
Cacan-
Siertia managed to block Unir’s blow.
“Hmm? How did you stop it? Your throat should have been cut off.”
Unir said in a puzzled voice.
