I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN)
207 Black Cat Tribe and Goddess
After the goddess left, we were back under Lumina.
"Safe, looks like you've evolved..."
I'm not equipped with evolutionary cover right now. Lumina seems to feel the evolution of clarity and franc.
"Mm-hmm. Thanks."
"Nevertheless, this is-"
Lumina suddenly pushes silently and stares at Fran. There was not only joy in its face, but surprise.
"No way - I didn't know it was going to go to Black Heavenly Tiger!
Well, Fran evolved into a Black Heavenly Tiger. I don't really feel it, but it must have been a legendary race for the Beast Man. Even Lumina is a black tiger.
Lumina has a strange face, staring at Fran. There seemed to be something like respect for Fran on his face. Becoming a Black Tian Tiger seems more serious than I think.
"What are the conditions for being a Black Tian Tiger?
"Hmm? Apparently, Fran's evolution has made the restrictions no longer applicable. I can talk."
The goddess said that, too.
"Being able to use thunderbolt magic and having more than a certain amount of agility and magic. This is the condition to evolve into a Black Titan Tiger."
Fran is filled. If you had equipped me, though. No, because skill-sharing is, as its name suggests, a skill you share with Fran. I guess my skills are treated like Fran's.
"I didn't expect to meet the conditions. No, I had heard of the master's abilities, but I didn't think that would satisfy the conditions. Isn't that the first time you've reached Black Heavenly Tiger outside the royal family?
"Is that it?"
"Mm-hmm. It's a real miracle to Fran that we met the Lord."
"The goddess said something similar."
"Told? Hello, you've met the goddess!
Lumina stuffed Fran with a stunned look. This was also faint to me, but for Lumina and the others, the gods are objects of faith. Besides, Lumina is a dungeon master. Exactly the family of the goddess of chaos.
"It's not me. My master spoke."
"And, master! What's this all about?
When I tell her that I met the goddess of chaos, she asks me what Lumina talked about in excitement. Surprisingly, I can't feel any ill feelings from those eyes.
But isn't God the hateful opponent who cursed the Black Cats? He should be the one who, besides the guilty royal family, has been involved in joint responsibility and has created a cut to discredit that status for more than 500 years.
That's what I asked, and Lumina spoke with a complicated face.
"Not that I don't have anything to think about... Because it was God's decision not to."
It seems that there is also a god in God who is fundamentally different from men, like a natural god, who does not give any consideration to things such as individuals. Do you think that the punishment inflicted by these gods is unreasonable to humans?
Even the Earth has many similar myths. Not to mention the world where God actually exists. I guess you know other similar stories. And it seemed to be a late renunciation, although I understand that referring to God is an incomprehensible, terribly irrational being of men.
"Besides, the goddess of chaos is a human goddess."
What's that supposed to mean?
"It was the goddess of chaos who erased the record on the evolution of the Black Cat Nation and took its memory from the rest of the species"
"That just seems like God's harassment?
"No, the other way around"
The stripping of memories and records seems to be the result of concessions drawn by man gods such as the Goddess of Chaos against gods who insist on destroying all Black Cat tribes. Only the severance of the species was prevented by giving them a tough test.
"I tend to be mistaken for that, but only from other races did God take away my memory. Only a few of them, the black-cat tribes spared the divine punishment, and the other beasts naturally knew the conditions for evolution? Besides, the Black Cats had literature left behind."
'So, what's not telling the Black Cats at all now?
"The records and literature that remained were erased after being taken away by the newly raised new-beast royalty and the Blue Cat clan, and many Black Cat clans were enslaved. And I was forbidden to even talk about the conditions for evolution. As a result, the conditions of evolution are not passed on to the new generation, and even the fact that they can only evolve has been forgotten."
'I see. I naturally can't forgive the Beast Royal Family or the Blue Cat Clan, but by the way, the divine punishment triggered it, right? The Black Cats have been enslaved for 500 years. You really don't resent God?
"I don't know."
For Fran, I just found out why he couldn't evolve. But what about Lumina?
"It is a miracle that the Black Cats, who freed themselves from the evil gods sealed by God and put other races at risk, were not allowed to cut off their races. To say that you have freed the evil gods is to say that you have almost destroyed the world. More like 500 years."
When they say you're about to destroy the world, you know the weight of sin as fast as you can. Well, it's a world of elves and stuff, and 500 years seems shorter than I think.
"Besides, the fact that the Black Cats have been enslaved and taken from the throne is, in a sense, the tail of tyrannical behavior until then. I would have laid down good governance and had the people loved me, other races would have helped me. I'm sorry we let our children carry our sins... I hardly feel like resenting God."
I'm not saying there isn't at all, but resentment of God seemed smaller than I thought. And he even seems to feel like he owes something to the goddess of chaos who prevented us from cutting off our species.
"So? What did the goddess say?
Well, there was no such thing as hiding against Lumina, and she hasn't told me not to talk. I wonder if I can talk to Lumina if it is.
However, since about half of the story was information Lumina also knew, the main story would be when the goddess featured her awakening. And then we're talking about evolution.
'It's just that we've defeated evil men of threat A before...'
I think Linford was definitely above threat A. Why didn't you evolve when you defeated him?
"Did you defeat it with the Lord alone?
"With other adventurers"
"Then it's because of that. The only way the curse can be freed by defeating the evil man of Threat A is if you defeat him personally."
Yes, the conditions for breaking the personal curse are personal - that is, do you have to meet them solo?
And shortly afterwards, Lumina suddenly bowed her head to Fran when she talked about the sins committed by the Black Cat Clan.
"Sorry."
"Hmm?"
"I was doing something like a royal counselor. In the end, however, the kings could not be stopped, and they were dismissed from their jobs because of their frustration. By the way, I lost myself to the adventurer, became a dungeon master in the land I came from, and only one survived."
"But it's not Lumina's fault"
"I was in a position where I might have been stopped!
Maybe he's been sick for 500 years. He said that if he had been able to stop the royalty, the Black Cats might never have been put in a predicament. Maybe I blame myself and the royalty of the day more than God.
That's why I cut myself. But I helped Fran evolve. Not just to say you liked Fran, but it must also mean redemption.
"Besides... your lords have put you in danger"
Looks like you listened to me and thought that in some cases Fran or I might have been touching God's wrath, too. Lumina had a blue face and bowed her head deep again.
"Lumina is nothing wrong"
"No, I didn't think enough"
The face is horribly serious.
"If it's just my disappearance, I don't mind. But if you even get involved with the Lord, even if you die, you will not die!
"Lumina. You can't die."
I look up at Lumina with Fran's uncut face. I think about when Lumina disappeared, and I feel sad.
"But this is the only thing you can do to our Lord..."
"I hope you didn't do anything for me"
"But..."
"Just stay, okay"
Fran whispered in a small voice, but clearly murmured so, hugging Lumina. It's a form that holds Lumina's torso down with both hands and buries her face in the valley of her chest.
Lumina, embraced by Fran from the front, looks down with a troubled face. But he gently turned his hand around Fran's back and stroked me gently.
"Chiara told me the same thing. I remember that."
"Mmm."
"After 50 years, nothing has changed."
We must have settled down with each other after a while. He had honeycombs in a bit of a light. Fran's not used to being sweet, and Lumina's not used to being sweet.
Lumina looked a little tired and kept a deep back on the back of the chair.
"With that said, Lumina, are you okay with your body?
The goddess also said that the lumina drains heavily. Maybe you can't, huh?
"I can quickly take my own fatigue. I've used up most of the power I've been putting in as a dungeon master... but I can handle it."
They said that the difficulty of the dungeon would decrease, but as long as Diaz had a mouthfeel, he didn't fear being crusaded because it was less valuable to use.
"Rather, I'm more worried about you lords. Evolution can be concealed thanks to the skills given by the goddess..."
'Anything else you're worried about?
"The master was imposed new restrictions on the goddess, but nothing in particular was done to Fran. Right?
"Oh, that's for sure"
"If so, can Fran teach others the conditions for the evolution of the Black Cat Clan?
"Does Lumina think so, too?
"Uhm."
'Just be forgiven? Fran didn't evolve in a normal way. "
I thought about it as a possibility. But I didn't know if God would allow it.
"There's no way the goddess could have missed that over this period. Didn't they even say anything in particular to forbid it?
"Oh."
"I don't know the logic of the gods, but if they hadn't told me explicitly to forbid them at this point, I should have seen them allowed to speak. At a time when we are able to talk about evolution, I think there is no mistake."
I don't know if that's systematically a good reason, or if it's the favor of the goddess of chaos. If it sucks, maybe it's to bring chaos to the world.
"The problem is more than the gods, the other beasts. If we were to say that we have spread the conditions of evolution, we might be able to see the Beast King and the Blue Cat Clan."
Maybe that's true. If so, it would be dangerous to teach no matter who he is. I want to teach only the Black Cat Clan to be kosori if I can. Or. Someone with a pipe in the Black Cats.
"Is there something like a community of Black Cats?
"You should have one if you go to the Beast Nation. It would be close to a slum or a slave village..."
Beast Nation? I'd like to meet a divine blacksmith too, and I'd like to go there once... The danger is too great.
"Did they tell you to meet the god blacksmiths of the Beast Nation? You gonna go?
"No, I'm not going to see you until I take the risk."
"But maybe you'll find out about the master"
'Cause it's just possible. Definitely not. I can't impersonate Fran for such uncertain information. "
"But!"
'I'm fine. That's not the only clue. There are other ways to spread the conditions for the evolution of the Black Cats. "
"Mmm..."
Well, it's not like there's no untrained at all, because it's too dangerous to go to the Beast Nation after all.
- I don't know what I thought, but things quickly turned out better. After the first round of this battle. It turns out the Beast King was not the enemy of the Black Cat Clan.
Instead, you could say the pro-Black Cat Clan. Solemnly cleansing the Blue Cat Clan and freeing the slaves.
When I told Lumina that Chiara was alive, she cried and didn't move for a while. I guess that's how much I regretted it.
Gabba hugged Fran pounding his shoulder, pressing his face against its washboard chest, killing his voice and crying.
A few minutes later, Lumina gets up with her face red.
I'm sorry, I'm a little overwhelmed.
"No, I'm glad you're happy."
"Best information. Thanks."
500 years of regret for the entire Black Cat clan will remain, but your regret for Chiara seems to have disappeared. Lumina is laughing with a good face.
"But isn't this also making it possible to spread the conditions for evolution?
"Mmm."
Actually, I've already taught Orrell. I was a little scared, but it didn't even make me angry when God showed up again.
No, actually, I was against teaching. Just in case it's hard to get God's wrath on. But I hear Fran couldn't stand it.
Fran's safety is paramount to me, but for Fran, the evolution of the clan is more important than his own. There was no time to stop.
I'm so glad there's nothing.
And he promised to spread the story of the Black Cats through a network of beastmen. Now you may think it will spread to the beasts of this continent.
"Besides, now you can wave a big hand to the Beast Nation"
'That's right. After that, whether or not the Beast Kings know about the god blacksmith. "
Normally, you wouldn't know, but they're legendary. There wouldn't be a zero chance that you live somewhere hidden either.
"Yes, but I have to get you through WW3."
"I'll take care of it. Win and listen to Chiara and all the black cat stories. And get permission to go to the Beast Nation"
"When I go, should I ask Chiara to take some souvenirs too?
"Let it be."
It's cheap.
Now you've decided to go for the land of the beasts altogether. Well, for now, after winning Game 3.
But I'm confident I'll win. Over the past few days, I've done various tests on awakening and realized how awesome it is.
Especially evolutionary and remembered intrinsic skills, Flash Hua Xun Thunder was tried in various situations and data was collected.
It's risky, as Lumina taught me, but the effect is amazing. At least, if it's just speed, you'll be able to stick with Rank A.
Plus, the power of black thunder is weak. While in use, black lightning is automatically imparted to every attack launched, unless it is consciously stopped, but its destructive and penetrating power was terrible.
It is only natural to ignore metallic armor as a characteristic of lightning, and even the strong skin of the Warcraft and the armor hardly diminish its power. And its power is the level that puts High Auga on the verge of dying in one blow.
Though it consumes magic and vitality, I don't even think there are things that can prevent a continuous attack by a franc in a black lightning imparted state.
Besides, I also worked out enough which skill levels should be raised in consultation with Lumina.
"Minimum goal is to break through WW3"
"But naturally, I want to..."
"Winner, of course!
"Whoa! Let's win anyway and tell us about Mr. Chiara with dignity."
"Mmm!"
