Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Sit back in Waldom's cell and tell him as much as you can about the conversation you had with Zaradi. Waldom listened quietly, but eventually closed his eyes and nodded.

"... Hmm. Well, come on. The man who is Vallos has only heard the story, but Beristio and Zaradi know it. I guess I even decided that what happened in this world deserved to be believed and entrusted to them... well, yes. I did more than I expected."

"... expected?

"That's right. After the rest was defeated, he wanted either a complete victory or a complete death for Beristio. I didn't hate him, I didn't hate him, I was worried about what would happen because of his ability traits."

A soul covenant with an allied lord, huh? Instead of becoming a demon, when something happens to the Alliance Lord, he will turn over the vessel.

But what about Waldom? Because I want to avoid being chosen as a vessel, if Beristio makes the choice to work together to protect himself after his resurrection... and more people contract to become demons, I may be more likely to be safe.

Or scratch your sleeping neck by pretending to cooperate ostensibly. If the goal is to annul the contract and find a means of avoiding your extinction, then I know that too.

So what if I lose?

The fact that I'm not interested in what follows is more consistent with the way of the independent demon... The oldest demon was a people of the moon, but the way of mind is also different, too?

Then what do you mean you want a complete victory or a complete death? What that means is...

"- Who doesn't want me to be chosen as a vessel?

Asking so, Waldom laughed only thinly for a moment. Then, put the expression back into something a little serious and continue the words.

"Those people call the rest the oldest demons. Now - well, I'm not a demon anymore. But if Zaradi told you, let's know. Those who deserved to be called that weren't the only ones left, they should be. There were those who admired Veristio and played an important role in adding demons as a seed."

If they had lived to this day, they would have likewise been called the oldest ginseng.

"Oh, I'm listening to the weak."

"So where did they go? After Beristio loses his battle with the Seven Wise Men, he loses as much as he can, and the Demon Man will be crushed once and for all. I don't know about the rest of it after it dropped... well, maybe... it was something similar everywhere."

Waldom closes his eyes and continues his words.

The weak of power perished in the wars… or could not withstand the transformation of the self into the cursed way or the wear and tear of the spirit caused by long life.

'... right. So I agree with the way the Underworld is today, and that's why we have to continue redeeming ourselves to sin'

That's what Beristio says, and Osgrave closes his eyes, too.

The demons lose and disappear in battle, or disappear at the end of a long period of spiritual wear. race to slow doom in a harsh way of life. This neighborhood... is something you should know.

I can also imagine that the weaker first generation was less tolerant than the second, the born demon. Because even Zevion and Luceriage were bored by the long raw.

Seriously, because I remember living as a person. Even if I transformed, I would have either given up or gained satisfaction - I guess I accepted the end. Abrasion is inevitable even through the war.

'But there were moments when we could laugh peacefully at each other as people, even among the transformed. Everything was a sin, not a tragedy… I think so'

"Yes... that's right"

To Osgrave's words, Grace also nods quietly across the crystal plate.

Has Osgrave seen them in hiding?

Grace is...... some of them seem to be layered on Maynard, the knight of the blood balls, or Erlich, my father.

"The rest are monsters who abandoned what they were and went ahead. But… there are many who fail or accept doom and disappear."

Therefore, only they remained the oldest demons.

"Did you push on with determination, or did you accept yourself as a monster and reopen it, or did you have a purpose to live? I don't know much about the others."

Waldom talks that way about the oldest demons left.

"But the way you spoke earlier, there's still the oldest demon we don't know," he said?

"Right. That's the rest of my worries, but from the occasional prayers I pass on... I saw that would have been so but would have removed it. Now that we can talk in person... I want to move forward so that unforeseen things don't happen."

That's what Waldom tells me about the place. The location is the south of Silvatoria. Is it the waters of the country where Elliot studied?

"If it's as Oberk confirmed, there must still be someone asleep there who could be a reason for the rest. Will you save him from the curse of eternity?"

That's what Waldom says, he's going to bow his head deep to me. To that appearance, Beristio and Osgrave had a slightly unexpected look on their faces. Did you not expect Waldom, who is said to have high pride, to come up with such a response?

But...... right. I think Waldom's situation must be consistent with my purpose.

"Sleep, is it?"

Elena also puts her hands on her chest and closes her eyes to see if there is any overlap in her situation.

"Talk about it - okay. That's a promise to me, too, so I promise I'll take you to the place, check the situation, and then I'll take care of it."

I can't make a cheap contract from within I don't even know the situation, but I want to deal with it exactly because there are promises in the area. Looking straight into its eyes and answering so, Waldom gave a momentary but calm grin.

"Right. Then at the bottom of the land, I expect good news to arrive. I am not thankful for my benevolence, but I promise to face my sins again and make amends. That's about all I can do now."

Really? The story rolled in an unexpected direction... but if Waldom is going to convince me of that, I guess it's a good thing.

"Of all the information we have, that's about all that still passes. The rest is only information from the past... well, let's tell them too"

"Oh. I'll be talking to Gardinis and Alverinde, so I was wondering if the information from the past would help."

"Phew... That's gonna break bones in there."

That's what Waldom shook his shoulder. Talk to Waldom and get information.

But... the intended person is asleep, right?

Waldom himself had fallen asleep with himself and his family in the seal of the Mother of Mercy... but if it was not an ability, but a result of the research of the ceremony and its application, well, that's something to be satisfied with. I suppose that's what it means to be sure that the seals left in this world will continue today if they are not untied by others.

Besides, as far as listening to the earlier story... I think I see another situation where I led the families instead of the demons. It may be that there were few demons suitable for self-specialty - underwater activities, but Waldom avoided such demons.

Whatever it is, Waldom and I have made promises. It will be after we return from the Underworld, but we have to proceed exactly in conjunction with the ritual around here.
