Hero without Blood or Tear

[172] For freedom. (4)

That's why the struggling death of the cosmic existence is sealed in Likentiatus, one planet….

In fact, it was the most fundamental problem I had always thought about. But even the most intelligent self did not know the answer to the question. Not even the knowledge of Achievement of Mount Aquila.

“That's …. ”

I hesitated, and the man crouching in the grave raised his mouth.

“Of course I wouldn't know. The lowly pride must have concealed it. ”

Does that mean Aquila didn't tell you the truth? Suddenly, I felt betrayed. And I was confused whether I could trust him purely.

“Ballerstead. The slate of doom is a tribute to the nobles. And you're willing to risk everything believing that? Kuhahahaha!”

“Did you tell your priests to be like their chiefs? ”

“Yeah, it's probably the quickest way to look at it. ”

A man crouching in the grave suddenly appeared in front of me with a black slate as he flicked his finger. There are great names written all over it.

“It's a welcome but authentic replica. An object that looks like a stone and is called a slate, but is actually carved from the bones of a struggling death. It's one of the hardest materials in the universe. ”

The famous Dragonborn is as good as this.

“If you have eyes, read them. ”

The writing was in the language of the geeks. If it weren't for the knowledge of the Temple of Chilma, I wouldn't recognize it.

“The indescribable darkness... The struggling death... Crouching in the grave.... ”

On the slate of the Apocalypse were the three most famous names. Followed by the names of the other dark forces. The names of the priests were clustered at the bottom.

“What do you feel when you look at this? ”

I didn't want to admit it, but the answer was clear.

“… Sequence? ”

“Congratulations. Now you're one step closer to the truth. I love that look on your lip! ”

Pair, mate. Even.

The person crouching in the grave gives me a round of applause and arrogantly leans against the back of the chair.

“These are the identities. He's not as great as you think. From our point of view, it's humiliating. They were also born in the darkness of the universe, but they were the invention of your insects in the first place. compared to the great army of darkness. ”

The shocking words continue.

“You wonder why the names of the priests are below the slate? I had to in the first place. They were our mercenaries. ”

“Well…. ”

“I'll never hear of it. The priests would never have left such a shameful history. It's an unrecorded story. ”

Wouldn't the world's hottest punch be the truth? I was hit in a row, so I was choked. I feel like my head is messed up. But I have to listen.

“… I want to know the truth. ”

“Good. I wouldn't have told you otherwise, but I have a purpose now. I hope hearing this will clear your head of self-esteem. ”

First, the story begins with an explanation that there is a class among the Dark Legions.

“Humans have titles, too. The Dark Army, too. This body and the struggling death are emperors when struck by humans. But there are dark armies like barons and smokers. ”

If there is a cosmic existence, there is just one planet tied up.

“The weakest of the armies of darkness is only the incarnation of this body. But since they also have the ability to sponsor, the title of the Dark Army is fair. It's just the difference between strength and ability, and our essence is all the same. And originally, this planet was the home of only such sub forces of darkness. ”

The one crouching in the grave saw the birth of a human being 10,000 years ago.

“It was quite an interesting universal creature. But it was everywhere in the universe, and I didn't pay much attention. But unexpectedly, something happened that caught the eye of this body. It was a universal creature that invented the existence of identity and defeated all the forces of darkness that had stayed on the planet. ”

The person crouching in the grave is quite surprised. I had no choice but to raise an assessment of humans.

“But that was it. It was remarkable, but how can such a victory in space be only for Likentiatus? This body soon lost interest. In sum, the Liberation War that the priests have been using to stand up for themselves so far has been nothing but an act against a subordinate army of darkness. ”

In other words, there was a rebellion in the land ruled by the local baron. Goblins invaded and the baron was killed and turned into a monster den. However, the arrogant emperor who ruled the vast empire did not care about such trivial matters.

“The success of your 10,000 years of prosperity and glorious stature is merely a flower of absolute indifference. ”

“ ……. ”

“For us, it's a moment. It's like that, isn't it? A sturdy weed grown on a stone-paved road, that's where you come from, Likentiatus. And now it's time to pull out the weed. ”

The truth is so cruel.

“I know that after 10,000 years of peace, when the darkness reappeared, people thought they were fighting with power. And I was told that by Aquila's sacrifice, he had been suspended to the end. ”

“Kuhahahaha!”

When I told him what I knew, he crouched in his grave like he heard the funniest sound in the world. I even almost fell off the throne. I barely shed a tear on the throne.

“What? Is that propaganda you humans are doing? Do you know what they did then? They all ran away. They all ran away, abandoning you humans. At that time, the arrival of the brawling slaughter was the end of 10,000 years of peace that you praised. ”

The moment he appeared as a cosmic being, all of Likentiatus' temples fled in a bluish rage. Abandon a helpless human being like a child.

“They are parents who abandon their children. ”

There was nothing to say to the ridicule of the one crouching in the grave.

“It was impossible to fight in the first place. Aquila was very strong among you. I admit it. I was incredibly powerful to rule such a small Planetary System. But that was it. Their deferral was just a coincidence that fell away from the political sphere of our absolutes. At the time, a series of monsters found this planet, starting with a sudden death. ”

And now there's a great war going on just like the end of the world. The statues of Likentiatus were mercenaries of the Dark Army to survive the chaos.

“The slate of doom in the beginning is like a truce to declare the end of such a great war. These stars' personalities fought, so they put their names into it. A humble mercenary at the bottom, of course, who can pay. ”

In the truth, there were no great devotions and sacrifices of the people. Those who ruled the system were astonished at the advent of a larger cosmic existence and had no idea what to do. Rather, I found a way to live as a servant of such giants.

“Now do you understand? Ballersted. This is what you get. The time of first prosperity and the time of subsequent suspension. It is all the result of our bankruptcy, regardless of your will. Of course, none of us cared about human survival. ”

“I suppose it didn't matter. ”

“Yes, you were just there. like weeds and weeds.”

Tsk, tsk.

At that time, I wiped it with my palm because something was dry, and it was cold sweat. Sweat was flowing like water. Even when I tried to stay sane, I felt like I was falling into a deep state of helplessness.

“It's a funny thing to say that the end is the beginning. The universe is infinitely large. If we fight, there 'll be a lot of stars falling. But it's just dust in the universe. ”

The more I listened, the clearer I understood. So I could understand right away.

“Is the end of the world an expression of convenience? No, from this narrow perspective.... ”

The man crouching in the grave smiles joyfully. Like a happy teacher.

“Brilliant. As expected, you're rarely useful. Yes, the apocalypse only speaks of the end of your system. It's just a tree that is cut down and collapsed. The forest is vast, but if a woodcutter did this, it would be the end of the forest. You humans and your stature are so flawless, yet one expression is so immense! Kuhahaha! It's a boat! ”

... suffocated. I didn't want to fight anymore. Originally, I heard that 'the end happened because of the defeat of my character’. But even that was just propaganda and lies.

“The identities were not even capable of implicating and involving this case as the end. ”

“Truly correct. Even they can't help but put the word" fatalistic "to the believers. They're cunning.”

So what was Aquila trying to do? If I wasn't bound to the fate of this world, like he said, would I be able to do something? Now they've all fallen into the reef of suspicion. Is he on the human side?

“Why did you come to Likentiatus to die? What happened after all those 10,000 years of prosperity? ”

Those who crouched in the grave to answer my desperate question were only smiling bloody.

“There's no reason to answer that. ”

“No!”

“That's enough to lose respect for your character. More to the point, my mouth hurts. ”

There's still too much to know, but the opposing Pokémon is cut off at once. It was also about whether the slate of termination really worked.

“Is it true you can banish the transcendent with the slate of the Apocalypse? ”

“There is no reason to answer that without a price. But if you'd listened to my demands, it would have been different. ”

The man crouching in the grave has offered a deal. But I didn't know what to do.

“What good is the deal if you can't save Likentiatus no matter what you do?" There's only one thing that's fucked up. ”

“No, what was the concept of saving Likentiatus in the first place? ”

The man crouching in the tomb rises from his throne and approaches.

“If you want to use the slate of the Apocalypse, it's obvious what you want. Banishing all named transcendents to create a world of their own? But you have to be suspicious. Like your specialty.”

He touched my head with his finger.

“Is it suspicious?”

“Yes, use your well-oiled head wisely. ”

The man crouching in the tomb gestures and brings the slate of Doom in front of him.

“Look, what's so special about this place? I'll give you 10 seconds. If you don't get it right in 10 seconds, I'll destroy you and your poor armor instantly." ”

That was no joke. If I don't find the answer in 10 seconds, I'm nothing but a worthless bug to trade with. If you die here, your soul will also be trapped in this Temen Ankee. You won't be able to tell me the secrets you heard today, so you'll break my heart.

“Ten, nine, eight…. ”

“Ugh!"

Time was too short. No. You want me to find out the secret to this mystical object in 10 seconds?

“Seven, six, oh.... ”

I can't even feel the answer, but time has passed without hesitation. Suddenly, my insides fluttered, shaking like a frown. I felt like I was going to throw up.

“Damn it, damn it! ”

I felt like my legs were going to sag.

“Kick-kick! Nice face. Four, three... ”

10 seconds would definitely be an intuitive part. What the hell is that? When I was troubled, I remembered one thing that was mentioned at that moment by the conman of Noumidia.

The old adage of fraudsters.

[Only the faithful are deceived.]

That's when I realized.

“Aquila's name is not on the slate. ”

The man crouching in the grave stopped counting because he was satisfied. And he taps my shoulder and says,

“Then who stands to gain the most after all the outcasts have been banished? ”
