Chapter 129 – 8. Prometheus (26)
Er and Tondef searched through the mountains and found several more new cobblestones.
The first three mountains and two trees I found. And I found a few more stones with an eagle on them, besides a sword and a sword with a round shield on it. Two big mountains. An illustration of a bent flower.
“The sword and the round shield symbolize the kingdom. The two mountains, uhm, I don’t know. But the broken flower…”
“Ah, Mister… Oh, isn’t it? Couldn’t that be it?”
“…No, I guess that’s right”
Er’s daylight became very dark.
“What the hell… Why are the fates of Unni and Roa so odd?”
“I mean”
First of all, it seemed almost an established fact that Loa was in the kingdom.
So what do the two big mountains mean?
It seems almost certain that the broken flower means that he has been violated…
“Mister. Come to think of it, why do the three mountains mean the empire?”
“Precisely, the picture with a large mountain in the middle of two small mountains symbolizes an empire. It means a nation that stands tall among all nations…”
At that moment, something went through Tone Def’s head.
“Middle ground…”
“Mister?”
“The middle ground between the Kingdom of Grina and the Kingdom of Gashu… Does it mean towards the Kingdom of Grina rather than just between the borders?”
If what you mean by empire is a big mountain between two small mountains. The two small mountains would represent the two kingdoms, and then the two mountains would represent Gryna and Gash.
For a moment. Then, this cut flower is…
“Anyway, Loa seems to be located in an area bordered by the three countries of Greena, Gash, and the Sorby Empire.”
“Eh?”
“Broken flowers… This looks like this when you look at the way the borders of the Sorby Empire, Gryna, and Gash Kingdoms are connected.”
“!!”
Then let’s go right now!! Er shouted, but Tondef dissuaded Er.
“Why!?”
“For now, we’ll go back. It’s not something we can do alone right now.”
“But!!”
“It’s related to the empire. Big things can happen if you’re wrong. And more than anything, this is the reason.”
On the other stone, countless monsters were drawn under the two trees.
However, rather than going towards the tree, it seemed as if monsters were coming out of the tree.
On another stone, two large trees were crushing the three mountains that symbolized the empire, and it seemed that they were crushing the countless small mountains below.
“This…”
“This is already a national incident.
Er groaned softly, but in the end, as if he understood, he quickly moved on despite his disapproving expression.
“Then let’s go back quickly! We shouldn’t have to tell everyone that we found the loa and plan a strategy.”
“Yes. Let’s go back.”
Ton Def sneaked the stone he found and kept it in his arms, not showing it to Er.
Broken flowers, tears, broken hearts…
According to the words carved into the stone, the loa’s heart had reached its limit by now.
* * * * *
“Heh-uh… Heh-uh…”
Exhaling her breath, holding two kukri with black rotten blood dripping down, Yuria somehow conjured an aura that could not be expressed properly anymore and flew into the sky.
“How the hell… How can you survive like this?”
Although the state of each individual is different, the only difference is how close they are to black, which rots alive.
There was no way that an ordinary creature could survive even after becoming such a mold.
If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to rot like this.
My head was not feeling well, so I thought that I was thinking about it for nothing, shaking my head and shaking my head to shake off unnecessary thoughts, but I thought that maybe it was possible.
Even the built-in functions didn’t function properly, so I thought about the days when I was barely maintaining my life while driving resources, and I wondered if it was something similar.
‘Something… There’s something that makes this possible’
There must have been something that made it possible to move alive even after being in this terrible shape.
But where?
How the hell am I supposed to find it?
Fortunately, even in the midst of enormous sacrifices, the villagers moved faster than those monsters, so they were slowly shaking off those monsters.
‘A little bit… A little further… ‘
After a while, the number of people who came out of the village fell by almost half, and the wagons were only about a third left, but somehow they managed to escape from the grip of those living zombies.
But I couldn’t rest yet.
Because those zombies were still chasing them.
My shoulder felt like it was about to fall off, and the aura that ran through my body was empty, and pain ran through my body as if all my blood vessels had dried up.
“Tsk… Come here. One more person should be able to ride.”
Perhaps feeling sorry for YuRia, who was panting and staggering, a villager reached out her hand.
“Right now, everyone may be grumbling about why they couldn’t save us sooner, but after a while, they’ll calm down and come to their senses. Who was it that threw themselves into a dangerous situation to save us from the beginning?”
“…”
“And if you’re so exhausted, you can’t find anyone to save you, so hurry up and get on cheap. If you feel really guilty, it’ll be helpful to recover quickly and kill even one more person.”
At those words, Yuria couldn’t help but climb into her wagon, which was slowly moving forward, and she sat astride as if she was almost collapsing.
“Haha…”
As the middle-aged man said, the villagers began to make complex expressions one by one.
Even though she is not something Yuria should complain about, since she is facing such a big deal right now, she needs someone to blame her for, and it seems that it has become Yuria.
But then, as if she became bad herself, she blamed everything on YuRia, not herself.
However, because of the middle-aged man’s words a while ago, it seemed that he had become very complicated in a situation where he could not do that anymore.
“Uncle…”
“Me? I’m a bad guy. The reason why I’m a bad guy who did a very bad thing to his wife, who was innocent in the past. No matter how much it is because of the grandson of the previous village chief, it’s not that I didn’t have dark feelings for that beautiful body.”
At those words, YuRia gasped… And memories of her past came to mind.
I see…
Remembered then that day She was one of those present.
He was a lot older than I thought, so I didn’t recognize him, but he was the one who tortured himself, and that was sexual torture, a harassment and harassment that gave a very strong sense of sexual shame.
“I reflected a lot after that. But I couldn’t even go out to apologize. What if that child sees me in pain? Even dying feels like an escape, and even living doesn’t feel like living…”
“…”
“I just can’t ask you to forgive me for being able to do the only thing like this…”
Seeing that he couldn’t even ask for forgiveness because he knew he had done something wrong, YuRia quietly patted him on the shoulder.
“I’ll forgive you”
“Yeah… But the reason why her heart feels a little lighter now that she was forgiven by her husband…”
Yuria looked at him with a bitter expression.
No. I wanted to say that I am that person, but the one who knows that she is Yuria is with her family. And there were only people around him who were like his family.
* * *
“Once Allen did aerial reconnaissance, they’re still following us.”
“Are they following people? Or are they following us…”
If they drove these things to the place where people lived, a catastrophe could have happened.
Each one is obviously weak, but how many places can really handle those endless corpses?
“Of course, if it’s a big castle, those weak guys won’t be able to climb up the walls, so they’ll block it easily, but the closest one is the lord’s castle, and you have to pass through several villages with proper defenses before reaching the lord’s castle. If everyone evacuates, it’s like telling everyone to die.”
First of all, they catch and eat if they are of the same kind (?) Who can no longer move by themselves. If it was a creature other than that, they ate it alive.
I still can’t forget the sight of the villagers screaming and being eaten.
The appearance of the viscera bursting out and the viscera ripped out in all directions…
“How can I do?”
Hosea and Joshua seemed hesitant about something.
“Hey guys?”
“That, that’s…”
“Actually, if it’s us, the way is…”
YuRia firmly shook her head.
“No”
“Mom…?”
“My mother won’t allow it.”
“Yuria? What do you mean? Hosea and Joshua have a plan?”
“Not as much as that. I’m sure the world will try to kill my children too…”
At those words, Hosea and Joshua flinched and looked at YuRia.
You knew…
“But there is absolutely no way out of this situation, right?”
At that, Yuria moaned softly.
“My son… Mom, I’m sorry…”
“Mom?”
“E=mc²”
What did Hosea and Joshua hear? I tilted my head, and it turned into something incredibly frightening.
“Uh, Mom?”
“If the distance between atomic nuclei is narrowed, the strong nuclear force acts and the atomic nuclei can bond to each other. In this case, the combined atomic nucleus is smaller than the mass of the two atomic nuclei before bonding, and energy equal to the difference in mass is generated…”
YuRia closed her eyes and said.
“Finally, they’re following us, so they’re overcrowded in one place. The target to interfere is the tritium. The two of you, hold on to one side and collide with it right in the middle of those zombies.”
“Eh, is it really okay to do this? My mom told me not to do that…”
“It’s an emergency situation where I have to use this method at least.”
Cashwyn wondered what YuRia was talking about. I couldn’t understand why Hosea and Joshua were doing that.
Until I saw a huge, unbelievable sight that happened a moment later.
Flash -!!!!
Aaaaa!!!!! Deed deed deed deed deed deed deed deed deed… …
Coo gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg …
“Kyaaaaa!!”
“Hee, hee!!”
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Tremendous flash Earth-shocking tremor.
And everyone couldn’t come to their senses from the tremendous aftermath that made everyone fall down.
And after a while, when they came to their senses, the group opened their mouths wide at the huge mushroom-shaped cloud that was still cooing and cooing.
“What, what the hell… What the hell did you do?”
“Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds…”
Everyone looked at YuRia again at the unknown words that YuRia muttered.
“One of the key figures who created this terrible spectacle, quoting the words of a religious scripture, said: I am now death, the destroyer of worlds.”
YuRia tightly hugged her two sons, who were still bewildered by what they had done.
“Now do you understand? Why is this knowledge forbidden?”
“…”
“Oh, Mom…”
Cashwin couldn’t understand the words YuRia had muttered from start to finish, but he could tell that those words from a while ago were the theory that caused this scene.
Death itself. Power to destroy the world.
“You couldn’t write it before?”
“Even the forehead was held to a minimum and unfolded. I was able to do it because I was far enough away from them.
Only 1.4Kt from a nuclear fusion explosion. I don’t know if anyone who hears it will laugh at me saying I’m joking.
Even so, considering that the power of one normal nuclear backpack is about 1Kt, it is a higher level of power than that.
“Allen, I’ll ask you again.”
“… Uh, uh…”
Perhaps it was because he had seen such an enormous sight, Allen gulped and swallowed, hesitated for a moment, then flew up into the sky again.
After flying for a while and looking around the bomb, Allen gulped and swallowed.
A charred bomb core and fallen trees all facing outward. As YuRia said, Allen, who had only glanced at them from afar without staying close to them, sighed as he looked at the zombies who were still groaning and grumbling from a distance away from the center of the explosion.
Everyone was a little relieved when Allen told her about the situation when she returned, but it wasn’t all over yet.
“What are you going to do?”
“For now, Nuri, like Delis, lead Elza, Liza, and the villagers to evacuate to another village.”
“…All right”
“And we?”
YuRia opened her mouth with a very determined expression, flicking her hand once.
“I’ll have to gather them all together and explode them one more time.”
“…”
“And this knowledge must be sealed with eternity from now on. The more you use it, the easier it will become to use.”
Seeing Yuria with a bitter expression on her face, Cashwyn sighed.
He wanted to make that forbidden knowledge his own, but it seemed difficult.
Seeing Yuria, who was having a hard time just because she had no choice but to use it, it didn’t seem like she would tell her.
More than anything, having her children use such forbidden knowledge was what made Yuria very difficult.
Actually… Hosea and Joshua also felt quite strongly that they seemed to be distraught over the scene they had committed.
As Cashwyn comforted the two children, she tried her best to placate them somehow.
Once in the future. Let’s try just one more time.
“Hey, can I do this again?”
“I’m sorry… Let’s really do it one more time. If her mother was fine, she wouldn’t have to do this to her sons…”
As she tried to soothe the two frightened children in shock, Yuria shed tears inwardly.
Kwagagagagagang!!! Coo coo coo coo coo… …
Oh oh oh oh oh…
Again, with a huge blinding flash and a deafening explosion, a huge mushroom cloud rose.
Shaking and rubbing her body against the vibration that seemed to tear the ground apart, Cashwin murmured softly.
“Are they all dead now?”
“Well… But even if I survived now, wouldn’t it be meaningless?”
No matter how indirectly, if you received the shock and heat of a nuclear explosion twice, can you say that you survived?
Most of them will have a hard time even moving properly.
“If this is the case, even if you come to another village, you will be able to respond without too much difficulty.”
Weakened as we weakened, and if we had suffered this far, there would have been less than 10,000 left.
“Let’s rest a little more, do our last reconnaissance, and let’s go to the next village.”
“Ehh… I’m a little scared to see that terrifying scene again.”
After a while, Allen, who flew through the sky again and looked around, should say as expected. For now, the zombie, which seems to be alive and moving, returns to her party in an invisible form.
* * * * *
“Under?”
It flashed and flashes filled the crystal ball, and soon the familiar died and the video was cut off.
And her own daughter, who was manipulating the Familia, collapsed onto her table, wailing from her mouth and spilling her blood.
“What the hell…?”
It’s so powerful that the falcon, which was watching the situation from a distance, would die instantly…
As a result of hastily ordering other children to reconvey, in fact, 9/9 of the troops evaporated, and even the remaining 1 penny remained intact and only a small number were left.
From the beginning, at the point where there were only these useless guys who were insignificant other than that number, they became useless bugs anymore.
“What the hell… What did you do…”
Seeing the two black giant pits, Krea couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
Indeed… Is this what the world fears?
But now, considering that her body has changed and she can hardly use her own powers, is this her children’s power now?
“That’s amazing…”
By the way, does this kind of child become a shackle to her? A child with this much power?
“I have to reorganize my plans in many ways.”
I used this enormous power twice in a row.
It must have consumed quite a bit of power.
A little more.
You will have to push a little harder.
“What’s the closest card you can pull out right now?”
It’s embarrassing that it takes too much time. As close as possible. I have to take out something that can be put in as quickly as possible so that I can push through now when I’m tired.
And Crea frowned.
All in all, why…
“This is difficult to write…”
This is a really solid lose.
However, it was a hand that should not be used now.
A trump card that should not be revealed to the world yet.
“No no no. This is not okay…”
Crea, who had been thinking for a while, sighed in relief at her.
“It can’t be helped. It’s a little early, but I need to encourage discord between kingdoms a little earlier.”
But the more she did this, the more anxious she started to become.
Even if it wasn’t so, it started to deviate from the original plan gradually, so I wondered if this was okay.
“Ha…”
A corner of her head was still shouting.
Treat Loa as just her baby stallion and don’t let her fall for it anymore.
Lua never said she could never like herself.
But at the same time, that sweet smile and her voice made her fall more and more into it.
Can’t you? She likes herself so much.
If there is no place for Lua to return to, this anxiety will disappear. Undoubtedly.
Crea quietly gave instructions to the leaders of the Lion Beasts and Eagle Beasts in the Gash Kingdom.
Get rid of YuRia no matter what excuse you have.
And through that incident, she said to make the relationship between Gache and Shelton as uncomfortable as possible.
