Chapter 273 – Legacy of House Ellenen (14)
*
As if nothing existed from the beginning, the guy who had just been fighting disappeared without a trace.
A half-broken sword was stuck in front of me in the broken, cracked, messed up space.
“It is over.”
After so many attempts that even the passage of time was lost, the duel with him was finally over.
It was a hellish time to imitate the skills he used.
Do all the warriors who will save the world have that level of skill?
If I had only had one chance, I could bet I would never have beaten him.
Adding to that, when I thought that it wouldn’t be the power of my body, I could understand how much of a monster a guy named Calis was.
And, how strong were the demons who dealt with that guy?
What if those guys came over to our world?
‘That’s going to be a real problem.’
While I was lost in thought for a moment, the same entrance as when I first entered appeared in front of my eyes.
I couldn’t just stand here all the time, so I headed for the gate.
The moment I crossed the gate, my body staggered with a sudden sense of heterogeneity. At that moment, a special force seized her body.
“… ?”
“No surprise. Because that space is special.”
I turned my head to see a woman I had never seen before.
Probably Matilda, the owner of this space. All I could tell was that she was a woman, but a strange energy enveloped her body, as if she had no intention of showing me her face.
“Isn’t that Matilda?”
“Looks like she told me.”
He didn’t seem particularly surprised that I knew his name. She seemed convinced that Freya had called me.
“That’s right.”
“While I was asleep, the world seems to have gone awry.”
I quietly nodded my head at the somewhat lonely-looking voice.
Is that why he was still alive? I don’t know if it’s because of some kind of special power, but I don’t think I’m very old if I look at the atmosphere.
Well, I don’t know what it is like because I can’t see my real face, but from my experience, I feel like I have a top-notch appearance.
“I want to hear what happened. Can you tell me?”
“For a moment..”
Although I am a third party, the reason why Freya could not actively step forward was because of restrictions.
Since I entered this world with her power, there was no way my actions wouldn’t affect her.
‘Is it okay if I tell you?’
Since she did not know how the world worked, Freya could suffer enormous damage if she made fun of her mouth.
[“This space might be fine. Please ask her to keep her secret.” ]
Unlike usual, Freya’s voice became somewhat calmer.
I told them to signal me if there were any problems, and then I started relaying what had happened.
From the story of the establishment of the Cult of Eternal Life by devil worshipers, to the cracks created by Proto’s intervention.
From the time I was told I was from another dimension, she seemed to be organizing her thoughts without any answer.
[“I don’t think you should convey that I’m repeating the world.” ]
‘That’s about it.’
To be honest, I could say that I was fully compensated for just learning this level of arcane swordsmanship with Danjeon.
Can you grant me that kind of request?
“It feels like looking into the abyss of the world.”
Even though it would be difficult for others to believe, she calmly accepted it.
“Do you believe what I said?”
“Even demons are from another dimension. Crack… A crack.”
With her complex expression on her face, she raised a staff that was taller than her own and brandished it in the air at her.
“If you go over there… You’ll find something you want.”
“I mean, is that the end? Anything you want to ask…”
“Doesn’t exist. It’s been a while since I woke up, so I’m in a dizzy situation in my head too.”
I felt uncomfortable, but what can I do when the person concerned has nothing to say? I started walking toward the portal Matilda created.
“Apostle.”
“Apostle?”
“Didn’t you say it was the deepest darkness? We call them apostles here.”
Well, calling a guy like that an apostle doesn’t seem that special, but if there’s a problem.
“There are many more apostles besides him. Each of them has a different personality.. And has strong powers.”
They’re very nasty guys.
“… “
“I’m not sure how much their presence will affect your plane, but if anything is certain, this is just the beginning.”
After muttering that, Matilda raises her hand to say goodbye.
“I have a feeling I will see you again. So, I will wait for the day we meet again.”
It would be best not to see them again, but Matilda muttered that and disappeared.
“It’s bland.”
I looked at her seat where she was and went inside her gate.
Kim Si-woo disappeared inside the gate, and Matilda, who had disappeared, appeared.
“Whoa… “
After confirming that Siwoo Kim had disappeared, Matilda let out a big sigh.
A man who somehow resembles Callis, although of course he is far inferior to Callis’ talent.
Wouldn’t that determination and determination be more than that of Kalis?
The appearance of moving forward without breaking in the face of any hardships and adversity resembled the hero Calis.
It was hard to control my emotions because I kept thinking of Calis.
“Kim Si-woo.. You said Kim Si-woo, right?”
It felt like it would take a long time to suppress this feeling that hadn’t been felt in a long time.
“We will meet again.”
It’s probably because of my mood that my body feels strangely hot.
She turned around to check her cracks.
*
“Chew!!!”
With a familiar voice, Canis ran into my arms.
Watching the animals rubbing their cheeks all over their bodies as if they were marking their territory made me feel at ease.
I don’t know, but it’s been a long time. It must be the feeling of someone welcoming you when you return home.
It was only now that I started to feel that it was over.
“Are you okay?”
“Did Siwoo fight with you too?”
Aria and Adela, who had been watching, approached and began to ask.
“Yes.”
“Listen! A guy who looked just like me appeared and copied my swordsmanship!”
From what others have said, it seems that they all fought against beings who used the same skills as themselves.
She said that her physical abilities felt like fighting a being that her doppelganger was stronger, so she couldn’t win.
It seems that they fought fiercely in a test that can only be passed by jumping over the wall called themselves.
Compared to that, I feel that the standard was too high.
This must be because I was learning arcane swordsmanship.
“I was really surprised when he died at first. I don’t even know how much time has passed… I really thought I was going to die.”
“Awesome.”
I didn’t know what it was, but I felt like he was asking for praise, so I gave Kanis a good match.
“That… Kim Si-woo?”
Arya, who was quietly watching her from behind, called me.
“I think the atmosphere has changed since the first time I saw you… Did you meet him too?”
She was sharper than she thought.
“Come to think of it. It feels like something has gotten stronger… “
It seems that something has changed since the power outage occurred. Well, compared to the first time, my body was much lighter.
“Well, it’s not me, but… Wouldn’t it be similar?”
“Wait!!..Did you really fight Kalis-sama?”
“Can you tell me what happened?”
Sister Aria and Canis, who had approached uncomfortably, looked equally excited.
“Well… She feels influenced by the swordsmanship she uses…”
“T-then did you really see his swordsmanship!?”
“What. Then, do legendary swordsmanship really exist?”
Both of them rushed at me with the momentum to eat them, and Arya, who is normally serious, seems to be very excited, and she grabs my arm and doesn’t seem to want to let go.
“Both of you calm down… “
“Tell me! What happened? Were you really as strong as in the story?!”
“Tell me too!!”
*
Hehe… So when I threw the sword away, he was taken aback.. Go for that opportunity…”
“What if I throw a sword there~ Are you an idiot?”
“Who are you calling an idiot?”
“So who won? Are you losing?”
“I lost. A knight is… “
“I don’t know~ I don’t know~ A swordsman must never let go of his sword.. Hiccup..”
“Ha.. Are you discussing the prosecutor with me now! Hiccup..”
“Don’t fight over there either… Haha.. Siwoo-nim, can you help me?”
Adela and I intervened to stop the drunk Canis and Arya from fighting.
“Calm down…”
“Did you forget you promised not to fight earlier?”
“But… Aria Siu…”
“Under! That guy called me an idiot first! Siwoo-kun, I didn’t do this first..”
“Okay, so calm down.”
After calming them down and putting them away, the two start drinking again.
Kanis likes to drink, so I knew he had a look like that, but Aria’s sister also refused at first, and then she started to get in a bit, so she looked a lot looser.
“I didn’t know that Arya could look like that.”
Adela muttered that and burst into a sly smile.
At first, I was thinking of getting out of here right away, but I found a luxurious drink among the treasures and the drinking party started.
Everyone didn’t show it, but they had been fighting for their lives dozens or hundreds of times.
No matter how strong a person is, it is impossible not to be stressed out.
I was almost at my limit, so I decided to take a break here and leave because it was a situation where there was nothing to say about other people.
It’s an atmosphere where everyone wants to rest, and I should say I want to rest a bit too.
The last time I drank alcohol, I said I would never drink again, but the alcohol here tasted good.
It must be said that it has its own flavor because it is not simply a drink made to get drunk.
“I didn’t know Siwoo was his messenger.”
“Well… That’s how it happened.”
It didn’t tell the whole story, but it roughly conveyed the fact that I had come here at Freya’s request.
Even if it was thanks to the uniqueness of this space, it wouldn’t be bad if there were more people who could convey Freya’s will.
“Thank you on behalf of Freya… “
Saying that, Adela began to doze off, and it seemed that she too had accumulated a lot of fatigue.
As I was about to find a suitable place to lay down the sleeping Adela and leave, someone pounced on my lips.
The smell of alcohol spread from the suddenly invaded tongue. The deep kiss that started like that.
“Puha… Is this… Is this how you do it?”
The sound of heavy breathing, the face red from drunkenness, and the face of the person who attacked me were strangely relaxed.
“Canis?”
