Chapter 282 – Horseman of Death (8)
【Unicorns must break their horns to leave the Holy Land.】
Unicorn Alice replied.
【I don’t know what Bicon is like, but for us to come to the Holy Land is to risk your life. It’s something you do with the determination to cut ties with the clan and never come back.]
Alice said that and kept her mouth shut. The talk is over.
I expected it, but it was a trivial answer, so I inadvertently made an impression.
【Is that all? Are you guys just coming out with a radish like a permit?]
【Yeah. Simply put, that’s how it works!]
Fuck.
Hey, I didn’t expect that there would be a connection between this stupid unicorn and that crazy warlock.
Still, I hoped that it would be an opportunity to find the warlock group 〈 Immortalis 〉. I asked while holding back a sigh.
【… When did Abidus leave the Holy Land? Do you have any idea what country that bastard first went to?]
【Yeah? Nope? That bastard never came out until the holy ground collapsed.]
【… Collapse? A holy place?】
Veronica was taken aback and came forward. Unbeknownst to her, her feet seemed to have moved. When I asked the question, I was also a bit perplexed.
I thought that the first place the Avidus cubs was 〈, IMoralis 〉 was the right to action.
Have you planted a carrot in your brain because of living as a refugee for a long time?
【How did that happen? The Prophet’s barrier cannot be broken that easily…】
【Who else is the prophet?】
Veronica and I became entangled in Alice’s blunt question.
This horse-headed bastard is innocent enough to have a brain. If you crack open her head and look at it, it looks like there are walnut cookies instead of brains.
‘Hey, didn’t you get kicked out of the Holy Land because your head wasn’t enough?’
I even heard that thought.
I am a human, but what about Veronica, a bicorn?
Veronica, a descendant of a prophet, a prophetess, was 30 years old, without a job, and saying that a rock band member didn’t know who the Beatles were.
Fighting our attendant.
【Mo, you don’t know? Are you saying you don’t know the Prophet? Astoria Magidora! Do you really not know?]
【Uh… Oh, Arturia? Yeah! I heard it!】
【Who else is Artoria, you big-headed little girl?】
It seemed that there was such a name among famous professors in England. At my words, Alice protested with a sigh.
【No, I know! That that! It’s him! The one who left the savior prophecy! Isn’t that the person who said salvation would come to the descendant of Shinma, right?!]
This time, me and Veronica lost her words.
That’s right, fuck. I should have told you that too. Alice, not noticing that we had shut her mouth, began to babble.
【I’ve never heard of the name of a prophet, but Astor… Acetone… Three, sepia tone? Anyway, I know that name! In my hometown, there was even a stone monument with his words!]
You left the words of the prophet as a stele?
‘I’m sure the prophet told me to pass on his words only through his oral tradition.’
Didn’t the prophet’s will be conveyed properly to the unicorns?
I ignored Alice’s words and frowned at the feeling that something was tickling the back of my head.
‘Fuck?’
Information and guesses are linked. My thoughts and reasoning, which were groundless delusions, were connected as one through pearls.
【It’s because I don’t like studying, even in my hometown, everyone says I’m smart?! I don’t know if they’re still alive, but—-
【Hey.】
I cut off the fruitless protest.
Alice, who seemed to be dissatisfied, looked at my expression and started to notice. That’s how much I was chewing on.
【… There’s not just one sacred place for unicorns, right? Right?】
【Yeah? Oh, what, right? If not, there must have been about 10 of them. I only know my hometown.]
【Did all of them perish? Did all the holy places record their knowledge?]
【Uh, maybe? I am Jeanne–I mean, I don’t know if the other holy places are ruined because I’m busy going out with Hi Romain. But I heard that when I was in my hometown, I installed all the stone monuments.]
【… Do you not know what destroyed it?]
After asking, I made up my mind not to be disappointed no matter what answer came out. Because this talker just said something absurd to the question I wanted him to answer.
【That… What do you say? Wear bust? La, life slow?]
As expected, Alice seemed to be spitting bullshit with her horse.
【Oh yeah! Werewolf!】
But the words that came out at the end of that stupid looking sound were what I wanted.
【Our Holy Land was destroyed by monsters called werewolves!】
***
In this world, werewolves are an endangered species.
In fact, it may already be extinct. There is a concept of a werewolf, but it’s been a long time since the sighting information was cut off.
If you capture it alive, you might be able to touch some money at the auction house.
But in fact, I had the experience of beating the legendary rare monster.
No, in this case is it bad luck? Anyway, it’s a fact that I fought with Tyrsi and killed one werewolf.
And just like the treasure goblins spit rare items, the werewolves I created also gave a very large raid reward.
A phenomenon that makes me the only burning character in Magical Land. It means mana succession.
‘If 10% of my growth secret is hard work and 70% is thanks to beast return, the other 20% is definitely the mana inheritance that comes from beating the rune master.’
What is the reason why Nord, who was almost chased by bugs, was able to win even if he faced Ulster in 3 to 1 in half a year?
Mana in another world is the sum of MP and INT stats in terms of game.
Even if you only know low-level magic, if you have a lot of mana, you can somehow act as a wizard.
As an analogy, it is the same reason that the amount of ejaculation is a teaspoon, but the satisfaction of the wife is high when it is large.
‘The basis for me, who has less than 10 acquired magics, to be able to act as a magic kid magician is thanks to the rapid growth in mana.’
So I still remember that werewolf’s name.
I can hardly remember people’s names.
A werewolf pup who brought out a fragment of the Germanian myth in earnest in my life.
That werewolf’s name was——Tabula.
【… Now I understand.]
Even though the big question was answered, Veronica seemed not very happy.
[As expected, he is our master. This is his true character as the successor of the God of Wisdom. According to Master’s reasoning, the Prophet was wary of 〈 Compilation Battalion 〉, but his compatriots who failed to notice his intentions made a mistake.]
I hear the fucking unicorn eyes spinning. When we suddenly shut our mouths and our expressions became agitated, Alice knelt down.
Veronica said she was telepathic only at me so that Alice couldn’t hear her. She seemed to have a lot to say to Alice, but she seemed to be holding back.
‘I can’t help it. Word of mouth is always wrong.’
Just as the rumors spread in the army are inflated and distorted, the unicorns forgot the fact that ‘records should not be left in writing’ while passing down the words of the prophet.
It’s a little too much to say it’s wrong. Because even the prophet is responsible for not speaking clearly.
Anyway, so the unicorns left stone monuments in the holy ground or leaked records… I was discovered by 〈 Compilation Battalion 〉.
What’s next? Horse – It’s the Holocaust.
A massacre took place in the holy land of unicorns.
It also visits door to door and kindly Search and Destroy.
【Werewolf. Being a werewolf under. Right. It was like that.]
It was Veronica, sighing at her speechless words.
A side effect of Beast Return that causes body transformation.
Tabula became a werewolf through mutation magic.
The president of Tustas Sang, who had scales growing on his body.
The old mana they have.
All of these were hints to an answer.
【〈 Compilation Battalion 〉 released werewolves that had turned into beasts like Tabula and destroyed the sacred place of unicorns. Even if the barrier disappears and traces are revealed to the public, I will try not to reveal the crime.]
It’s like when we found out the whole story of the dye incident.
There are cubs who ruined the habitat of dyes by turning innocent wild mother bears into drug addicts.
Like them, and like the Nukelaby incident this time, 〈 Compilation Battalion 〉 released experimental subjects that became beasts through mutation magic in the large-scale erasure policy.
We want to create an invisible incident scene like humans did.
‘From Alice’s point of view, not all werewolves, but that doesn’t matter.’
The president of Tustars was also scales, not wolf hair.
There must be individual differences in what kind of animal a person turns into at the end of a mutation.
I’m sure the principle of mutation is different, so Juju has grown and ended, but it must be unfair to the pups who became victims of another world’s version of Beauty and the Beast (no beauty) while trying to get stronger.
Are you twisting? Then, earthlings, little peppers.
【Is it because her people were exterminated by humans? Surviving Abidus deserves to be a human hater.]
【Right. It is said that he was a heterogeneous exterminationist, so if he knew the existence of 〈 Compilation Battalion 〉, he would have thought that he should destroy the human race first.]
Avidus, who fled from the ruined holy land, found out the truth.
And maybe he became a unicorn warlock after being corrupted.
It’s the horn, it must have melted gently during black magic training.
[That bastard, when I met you, you already had your true self. He figured out how to return to his original form, and if he misunderstood the person who informed or implemented it as the ‘guide of the prophecy’… 】
〈 Immortalis 〉 deserves allegiance.
Aren’t they a group of black magicians who know humans as experimental materials? If you are recognized and saved by a group that you like, you will be told that you like Jihwaja.
He is literally a neo-Nazi who was saved by the KKK.
On the contrary, I couldn’t understand why Alice was so carefree.
Why is he so optimistic? Is it because I don’t know the circumstances?
What a professor in a similar situation would do——Wait a minute?
I opened my eyes at the thought that passed by casually.
【Wait? Elf, elf? Do those babies live long? Don’t they leave records or something?]
【Are you an elf? It is natural to leave it behind. Haven’t you heard of the relics of the fallen elven kingdom? I know what the archeology doctor said, but since he is the archeology doctor’s husband, why don’t you know?]
Damn I don’t know, I’m also a master’s bitch.
I was almost pissed off when Alice inadvertently pointed out the telepathy that was blown over the entire chat. Alice, however, only blinked to see if it was malicious.
It’s not that people who say that the guy who gave me a pick didn’t have a bad heart don’t feel like a dick, but I put up with it for now.
It’s not me and I didn’t ask because I didn’t know. In this world of twists and turns, I was not sure if my common sense was correct.
【Anyway, elves keep records too. Right?】
【Yes. I see what you mean. … Didn’t that woman also get attacked by a beast, lose her parents, and get kicked out of the forest?]
【That’s right. That’s right.】
This is it.
There is only this.
She said that she was of high elf lineage, but when she was a child, she was attacked by some kind of beast. It is said that she lost her mother in the burning forest and was picked up by Henir.
Maman, a high elf who gave birth to baby Hitler Jernavich.
Killing her, spying on her Yerna, and watching her Meg, the ‘beast’, Henir somehow burst out in anger toward her humans.
Why is that?
【──The “Beast” That attacked the forest of elves, and the beast that killed the unicorn holy ground. Those bastards must be of the same kind.]
It probably must have been.
Damn, if this is another criminal organization, then the other world must really perish.
How many criminals are hiding in the shadows, so every place you encounter is different!
Each country could have been divided into triads, yakuza mafia, and what, so that the K-villain designated group, Strawberry Seaweed Faction, would come out? The four of us went to the sauna, ate rice, eh?
What’s important is what follows.
If you think about it a little more, another reasoning arises.
【Yes. Come to think of it, Enril was such an idiot.]
He was no better than a child in terms of thinking or intelligence.
Being young and clumsy is a ridiculous excuse. Why? Even Lalilu, who is younger than Enrir, is smarter, kinder, and prudent than that idiot.
【When we met, Tabula was collecting sacrifices.】
The sacrifice was a one-armed young man and three children.
The one-armed young man was abducted by a circus troupe for a circus for the disabled.
What Tabula was aiming for was young children.
The kidnappers didn’t know that and kept everyone alive.
—A werewolf who takes a child as a sacrifice.
─A high fuckup who suspected me of being 〈 body 〉 but thought I was “Older” And thought no.
Combining this gives you the answer.
【〈 Compilation Battalion 〉 must have gathered young children to find an ‘experiment table’ with 〈 Human Body 〉’s aptitude.]
Maybe that’s why Yerna said something like an ‘experimental device’?
To summarize:
1. Gather the children who will be the “Sacrifices.”
2. Check aptitude and select.
3. Educate and brainwash to suit your taste.
4. Raising the new throne as a successor.
──And then, 〈 Human Body 〉 was created in this way.
Enrir was one of them.
【Then let me explain. Yeah fuck, I thought it was weird giving such an idiot too much power.]
Men want to play with drones or RC cars.
But, like giving food to a stray cat, a human George gives a missile launcher to a pup who will commit it without guilt?
A person who thinks he won’t have an accident is an asshole.
Why did you have to give it anyway?
[It was the opposite. A bastard with the aptitude to succeed Thor’s throne must have been such an asshole.]
That was the reason.
An idiot who ran rampant with a Chinese-made Mjolnir, got caught in my provocation, and gave me time to activate his ultimate.
The reason why even such an idiot was the last stone of 〈 human body 〉.
【… Dear At this point, can’t you imagine why Henir is trying to destroy humans?]
【Uh. Probably right.]
Henir is a god who survived after Ragnarok.
I don’t know how he survived, but I’m sure he was lucky enough to keep abreast of what humans were doing.
Because the guy I saw in my dream was disappointed in humans.
‘Disappointment. Disappointed. To be disappointed, you must first have expectations.’
If you have expectations, you will be disappointed.
If you don’t expect anything in the first place, you won’t be disappointed.
What did Henir expect?
What did he expect from the humans in this world and then get disappointed?
I had already heard this answer.
I heard it with the knowledge left by the person of that era.
【… The favorite of Chaos.]
The power unique to humans that can defy fate.
Odin believed it and died.
Believing that the world after Ragnarok would come to a world that was not ruled by fate, he left the arrangements behind and flirted.
But Henir, who had let his friends go and was left behind, saw it.
Killing bicorns, unicorns, elves, and dwarves.
The selfishness of the human race, which dominates the world or perishes while fighting among themselves.
