M E M O R I Z E

Leave the Blue Palace and walk the streets.

At the end of the day, no. Eldora is heading to the temple without making a choice. As the consciousness was clear, the chaos felt large in one layer, and the roaring of the streets did not disturb the reflection.

We still don't know if this is really right or wrong. I'm still not sure.

Apart from this, the reason for walking is solid. For the sake of the individual, for the sake of man, and furthermore for the entire South. The cause is impeccable. Yeah, I know what you're doing is reasonable.

Then why do I keep feeling like I'm going down the wrong path?

Uncertainty comes from not being able to find the answer on your own, leaning on and hoping for someone. Of course, it can be rationalized that there is no choice, but this process itself creates a sense of anxiety. I felt strongly wrong from somewhere.

… However, there is no turning back now.

The wind blows. As if trying to feel this flow, Eldora bends her chin and closes her eyes quietly. The wind is cold, but it cools the boiling head.

When I opened my eyes again, the White Temple was revealing its magnificent glory before my eyes. Immediately before sighing and going up the stairs, Eldora's eyes look down. A white bag is carried along the end of the rope that drops obliquely from your right shoulder.

At that moment, a light of conflict struck me.

But worry for a moment. Eldora flashes a determined glare and stabs one hand into her bag. I look back for a long time as if I'm looking for something, then I pull my fist out and lift it to the top of my head.

What I was holding in my hand was a hair ornament. The egg is decorated with a bead of nails with a dark blue glow. That's exactly ten. Eldora tied her blonde hair with a handkerchief that she thought was splenic, and then she climbed the stairs.

At the end of the climb up the stairs and into the temple, you see the portal. Standing right in front of you, you stroke the beating heart with a few deep breaths. Then I buried myself quietly in a sea of quietly rippling light.

And then another place.

“Welcome. Eldora.”

It was a very heavy and awkward place with gray colors.

“You're a little late. They're already all here. ”

It's beautiful, but on the one hand, it's an eerie voice. Eldora bows boldly, and the angel slowly rises from the altar.

“It doesn't matter if it's not too late. Then take me straight to the meeting place.... ”

At that moment, the angel, who was just about to shake his hand, suddenly raises his eyes slightly. I see you've found Eldora's whereabouts. He looks up and down slowly as if he were scanning, then smiles slightly.

“By the way, I've never seen you tie your hair like that. Are you here because you care specifically about meetings? Hehe.”

“Yes?”

“Relax. Your face is so stiff. ”

“… is that right? ”

Eldora tries to touch the hair ornament, then quickly lowers her hand to touch her face. And secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Why did you carry your bag? ”

The angel asked a sudden question.

She paused for a moment, but Eldora reflected and opened her mouth as she had prepared.

“A monster summon box. ”

“Yes, I think so. But why are you here...? ”

I thought I knew, but I tried to manage my face.

“I got a call just before I left with the clan. ”

“Leaving?”

“I heard that you don't know which monster to summon. ”

“Ahh. So you want to go back? ”

The angel nods as if he understood, and smiles in relief.

“Don't worry. We'll be back in a minute. ”

Soon, as the angel shakes his hand, a bright light streams down and a new portal is created.

“Eldora, she's wise. ”

Eldora glances quietly at the angel who appears to be asking her to leave a note and follow. By the time he had completely hidden himself in the light, he returned to his mouth the word wise, then slowly headed to the portal.

Meanwhile, while Eldora is walking to another portal.

“Eldora?”

“I saw you tying your head in front of the entrance. ”

In the corner of the temple, two users were talking.

“Good. Then... ”

“Finally, the beginning of D-Day. I'll see you after.”

Ian was the one who pressed down the hood and turned away. And Melinus, who was left alone, looked up at the sky with tense eyes for some reason.

Popot!

Soon after a long time, it suddenly bursts with the sound of a flash.

“Huh? Didn't you hear something? ”

“I heard. Uh, what is that? ”

“What? What? ”

“Ha, in the sky... ”

It was never a small noise, so the users who were walking the street turned their heads one by one. Wherever I looked up, the light blue light was slowly spreading like a mixture of paint in the clear sky.

The thing that gradually took shape was the video. Translucent landscapes begin to emerge, as seen by analogous communication beads.

The important thing is that there is more than one swarm of light in the sky. Images appear from all over the city. There are about ten of them.

- So, Eldora?

Before I had any doubts, a murky voice echoed through the air.

- I believe you know why you're here today.

Suddenly, the scene of angels gathering enough to fill the video was truly spectacular. I was fascinated by the mysterious sights, and the gaze of the users immediately rushed to the sky.

And...

- …….

Only the head of Eldora, standing alone on the ground, gives a joyous aura. It was a very faint and hazy aura that I could not see if I didn't look closely.

*

Independent space connected to the chamber of the summoning of the former () within each continent, ‘Heaven’.

“For the past few days, a considerable number of users have entered and entered the Summoning Room. unprecedented over the last few years. ”

At the subtle top, a faint voice came down and echoed in my ears.

“Not one or two, but hundreds and hundreds of people have heard the same story. ”

“ ……. ”

“And they say the Odin Clan is the source of this rumor.... Is that correct?”

“ ……. ”

Silent. The opponent asks, but Eldora doesn't say anything but stares into the air.

“... I guess I am. ”

I sigh lightly. His voice was soft, but it sounded like a condemning tone as if he was doing something worthless.

However, Eldora's chest was completely submerged compared to when she first came in. If this number was looking down from all over, it would be awkward, but I was suddenly standing there with a bold face.

I was calm, but I was still feeling cold when I faced those difficult eyes to see as a favor.

“Why did you do that? ”

Eldora lowers her head slowly to the question that began.

Sometime soon, the invisible ceiling will be half in sight.

“Why?”

I opened my mouth quietly.

“Did I not ask the question? User Eldora.”

If the voice of the angel had been lowered a little, would it be a mistake?

No, it's not a mistake. I feel like my whole body is frozen as if the temperature around me had cooled down. But the more I did, the more I felt a little strength in Eldora's neck.

“First of all, Odin planned the Eastern Continent Conquest. ”

“So I see. So, why did we come up with a plan that didn't work? ”

Even before I finished talking, I lost my teeth.

“That's why you didn't ask. Can't I?”

“… Yes? ”

“Should we attack the Eastern Continent?" ”

“ ……. ”

At that moment, did he feel a challenging attitude? The space suddenly becomes silent.

Of course, the static didn't last long.

“Yes, I can't. ”

Eldora's eyes narrowed in cold notice.

“I don't understand. Why all of a sudden do you have a plan? ”

“I hear you've heard the rumors. That's where I stand. ”

“Hmmm. The competition around the center. ”

“That's right.”

As if he had already known, the angel immediately uncovered the key.

“Well, that was an interesting theory. … but are you sure? ”

“ ……? ”

“Just by symptom, you can't say it's the right basis, right? Any evidence of that? ”

“Nothing.”

When Eldora shakes her head, the angel smiles blankly,

“But there's no evidence that he won't. ”

Eldora calms down. The face of the angel became naturally stiff.

“Did I just hear that wrong? ”

“ ……. ”

“I didn't expect you to bring out the basics like this. Eldora? Eldora needs to know her place. ”

“Church?”

“Yes, Church. If Eldora was just a regular user, yes. I think he understood why he was thinking that. But isn't Eldora the guardian? Everything about being a guardian. ”

“I am not the protector of the East, I am the protector of the South. ”

At that moment, the angel's words were cut off, and I felt an unpleasant look on my face. However, there is no response in Eldora's eyes that stands on the ground.

“The point of this plan is to eliminate continents that could compete in the future. It's a path for the entire South. But why do you say that like it's against your job as a guardian? ”

“Eldora Cornelius! ”

At that time, the voice of the angel rose for the first time. For some reason, even a gentle pitch was mixed.

“Does this meeting look like a joke to you? ”

“Where are you going with this? ”

“W-what? ”

“Which part of what I'm saying is a pun? ”

Suddenly, Eldora's eyes start to glow.

“Let me be clear. I'm more serious now than ever. I know the importance of this meeting, and I have no idea what I'm talking about. ”

“So if you're trying to pass on my argument as a pun, I absolutely hate it this time. ”

Eldora spoke all these words in a very strong and clear voice. I even overlooked my resolve, as if I would never back down this day. Either he felt the will of Eldora or he was speechless. In the heavenly realm, there is once more heavy silence.

How long has it been?

“Absolutely.”

After a long silence, the angel opens his mouth.

“Amazing.”

Eldora's eyes open slightly. It was because the angel who was in the highest place in heaven was descending at some point.

So I came down to see my face with my bare eyes.

“I wonder if it's really Eldora I know. ”

At the mouth of the angel who stopped in midair, there was an astonishingly soft smile. While Eldora hesitates for a moment, the angel still opens his mouth with a smile.

“Anyway, I was a little surprised... But I understand. I've decided to understand.I 'm pretty sure that's what Eldora said. leaving right and wrong. ”

The voice that flows through the space is very glamorous and fascinating. I pay attention to the gentle tone.

“But Eldora. Everything that happens in life is either bi-dimensional or black and white. I don't know who put the wind in there for what purpose, but is it so important to attack the Eastern Continent now? If we have to, we don't know when Ragnarok's stabilized yet, do we? ”

But did the angels know?

I said, "You know, in human language, it's called mannerism? ”

The ball of fire in Eldora's chest is already burning beyond measure.

“Yes. Eldora has always acted reasonably and has always been ahead of her duties. It's a bar we angels know very well, and it's a high-rise bar. And as a result of the raid on Orc Castle... ”

Suddenly, the angel's words gradually blurred. That's probably because he saw the look on Eldora's face. A face that looked agonizing, but on the other hand laughed coldly.

“Why are you making that face? ”

“… didn't I tell you? What I want is not just a rhetorical question, but a clear answer. It's not a pun. ”

Then the spring breeze that stood on the angel's face disappeared quickly.

“So what do you want me to do? You're not gonna change your mind? ”

“No, if you tell me the truth, I might not. although the answer could be different. ”

The surrounding atmosphere begins to change gradually. The angel's face slowly frowns to see if his ego is broken. Soon, I look at Eldora with a very unhappy face.

“Okay, what's the question? ”

“It's simple - if you want to cancel this plan, just say so. ”

“So that's it. ”

“We humans, not users. Don't you need to surround and compete in the future? ”

At that moment, a shivering light struck the angel's face. But Eldora did not end up here, but spoke again.

“If you're positive, we'll cancel your plans as soon as we leave. ”

“Well, how can I be sure? We're just helpers. ”

“Of course, there's a lot of possibility of war between us. But it's not an accident, it's inevitable that there will be a war. ”

“Well, that's... ”

Eldora speaks loudly, and the angel's mouth shuts. Then he pauses, clearing his throat and joins the conversation.

“Hmm. I'm afraid that's an unspeakable question. You have to figure out the information about the new continent yourself. It's not common sense to give a privilege only to the South, is it? ”

“I'm not saying I want to know where. Whether continental competition is mandatory. I'm just asking you to be clear about this. Can't you do this, too? ”

“ ……. ”

“Ha.”

When the angel was silent, he groaned that it was ridiculous.

“So that's what you're saying after all. I can't say anything. Just don't. ”

“Er, Eldora. ”

“This meeting... Is this a place to control me? What do you want?”

“No, I mean, ”

“So what?"

“ ……. ”

Silence, silence, silence, silence.

No matter how long I wait, I can't hear the answer. However, the surrounding atmosphere tells us that something is positive.

Eventually, Lemiel turns his eyes away.

“If you feel that way, I apologize. ”

“I don't want an apology. ”

“No, I can't give you the information I want anyway. We have our reasons. ”

“… Reason? ”

“Stop. I won't allow any more of this. ”

“ ……! ”

It was the moment I heard that.

Eldora felt like something had barely lasted. And for a moment, I thought Eldora's face felt a little distorted.

“Why…. ”

Suddenly, I bowed my head.

“Then why don't you think about our situation...? ”

His clenched fist trembles and a trembling voice leaks out.

“Why didn't you tell me.... Why do you keep trying to hide...? ”

“Just do as you're told... Is that what you're saying...? ”

I was talking to myself, but I could hear all the angels speaking so fluently.

“Yes... Come to think of it, that was before... ”

“Even when we first met.... Even when he cried and hung... ”

Like an angry beast, his voice turns into a cry.

“Why! Why can't you tell me?" ”

Now, a cry close to the mooing of the male.

“Oh my…. That's how it is... She's right... ”

I hate to admit it, but I have no choice but to admit it.

“Eldora. What are you saying...? ”

It was then.

At the same time, I heard a glance from my head, and the angel looked surprised. Like the day you were first summoned, you stare at me with your eyes wide as if you didn't know what to do. Suddenly, Eldora, who is standing here, is no longer a user, just a weak girl.

“Are you sure? Is that why you can't tell me, or won't you? ”

Eldora wipes her eyes with the back of her hand, like a child, and stares at the angel with frightening eyes.

“Well, what... ”

A bewildering light spreads like silk on the face of a stuttering angel. However, Eldora's brakes, which she had been patient with, had already been released a long time ago.

“Ahead... You said.”

“Ahead...? ”

“You said it was summoned for a purpose. ”

“Mo, purpose? What the hell!”

It was that moment.

“You said it was the zero-code! ”

At last, the explosion of Eldora's cry was not only the King of Heaven.

- You said it was the zero-code!

It resonated throughout the city where the video was playing.

At the same time, an angel.

“… Ah? ”

I was frightened to tear my eyes open. He looked completely frozen as if he had lost his words.

After a while.

The heavens, which had never been calm, began to fill with the rumbling of angels. And as soon as I saw the reaction around me, I was convinced of one thing inside of Eldora.

“I heard, I heard. Guards to protect the heavenly world, zero-code…. ”

“Er, Eldora? Now, wait a minute. ”

“You said you summoned us to protect it. You said you wanted to incorporate these ridiculous user settings and use them for the war against the hostiles! Aren't you?”

“ ……. ”

The silence continues, but the reaction of the angel changes rapidly.

Surprised for a second. He shakes his hands lightly, causing the commotion to subside, then stares down at the ground with a dazed eye.

“Why! Why shouldn't we get involved in your fights?" What the hell! ”

“… Who told you that? ”

“Now, does that matter right now? ”

“Yes, it matters. It's very important, so let's be honest. Who told you that?”

It's an unbearable voice that can't be found even by a single eye. Eldora frowns as if she were truly sad.

I didn't even want an apology.

I just hope not.

No, even if I was right, I wanted you to tell me the truth.

By the way...

“Ugh... ”

After a sigh or groan, Eldora takes a deep breath. Breathe several times until the thumping chest sinks, until the shoulder trembles. And when I opened my eyes again, Eldo came back to the user from the girl.

“... I'll turn around and go. ”

A heavy voice comes out of your mouth.

“There is no cancellation of the Eastern Continent Penalty Plan unless confirmed. We judge right and wrong. ”

“Oh, that's okay. Who told you that, by the way? ”

“... And as of today, I will quit defending the southern continent. Sure."

“El, do, la? ”

You hear a terrifying voice, but Eldora turns away without a care. And without hesitation, he buries himself into a floating portal.

… No.

That's exactly what I was going to do.

Ping!

Suddenly, there was a ripping sound.

Pasta....

A firm twist of blonde hair flows down the vaultless cliff. I just touched something, and the hair ornament shatters. Of course, Eldora stopped.

“… Lemiel. ”

Eldora glances back in a daze, unbelievable. The angel, no, Remiel, is gazing back with a expressionless face.

“I'm sorry, but I'd better postpone this date. ”

“You said you were going back. ”

“No? I can't go back. because I wouldn't allow it. ”

“… Permission? ”

Let's go!

This grinding noise is creepy. However, Remiel smiles bloody and kicks his tongue and opens his base.

“Huye, I can't blame Gabriel for this. I thought the continent of North Korea, which is managed by angels, was so seduced by Kim Soo-hyun.... Hehe.”

“Soo-hyun Kim?”

“Oh, there is. He's a North Continental user. He's a little funny. He thinks we're a joke because he's strong and he's got some results. ”

“ ……. ”

The smiling angel opens her eyes and points at the target.

“Right, like you. ”

“… What? ”

Eldora's eyebrows twitch. Soon the clogged white cloth faded, revealing the splendor of Excalibur, emitting a brilliant light. However, Remiel only laughs as if it were a trifle.

“Put the knife in. The principle is we can't hurt you, but this is a little different. ”

“I said I'd go back. ”

Exactly!

Remiel flicks his hand. Then the portal that was created just before suddenly vanishes without a trace. The path to the Summoning Room is gone.

“You keep making me say the same thing. User, Eldora Cornelius? You can't go back. ”

“What are you going to do with me? ”

Eldora looks a little sad, but asks with a mixed voice from the enemy. Remiel shrugs.

“Don't worry. I just need to have a quick word. In principle, we can't intentionally hurt you, right? Once we're done, we can go back safely.... Ah.”

And then, like I heard earlier, I open my mouth coldly.

“Of course, it depends on your answer. ”

Suddenly, Eldora almost burst into tears. However, the user barely swallows and aims at the target with its full Excalibur. Lemiel shakes his head.

“Didn't I tell you to put the knife in? For the record, this is your last warning. ”

“I'll tell you one last time, too. ”

“Well, I don't want to say it four times. ”

“The portal now...! ”

At that moment, Lemiel suddenly stood up in the air and felt the overwhelming power of Eldora rushing in from everywhere.

By the time he felt it, Excalibur had already left his hand, and his body was shaking loudly. In the end, I did not get the center, and I rolled vigorously.

You barely raise your upper body, and you see Lemiel staring down at you from the air, holding Excalibur.

“You said the warning was your last? ”

Eldora chews her mouth to the point of bleeding in a mocking voice.

It's over.

As long as we're here, we have nothing to look forward to.

It was really an organ. It was a puppet.

We are neither more nor less for them.

That's what Eldora thought.

“I am.”

Like the heroine in the soap opera, she sat down and opened her mouth quietly.

“I don't want you to be creepy. ”

For a moment, my arm stopped for a moment.

However, the next moment, Eldora throws away the bag she was holding. Thrown with power, the contents of the bag burst out and roll the ground.

Thung, thung, thung, thung!

More precisely, several boxes were bouncing off the floor, rattling the entrance. That is, with the entrance to the impact open.

It was then.

“Huh? This... ”

When I checked earlier, it was just a normal monster summon box. It was a trivial object that felt no strange energy.

Yeah, I'm sure he did.

As Lemiel tilts his head and tries to reach out, dark energy emanates from each box.

Woof, woof, woof!

There was then no room for action, and an unusual stream spread out everywhere. Vibrations made the space noisy while occupying the heavens in a flash. Moreover, as the box begins to spin, a sudden gust of wind begins to sweep through the area.

“Yi, this! Uh, what's going on? ”

“This...! We have to stop it...! ”

“… Ah? Why does it work...? ”

“Wait. This power... ”

In the rumbling of the angels, Lemiel senses something and bursts into no-ho.

“Don't you dare! ”

However, before Lemiel could take action, a huge aura suddenly began to manifest. An enormous darkness that can be trampled under the power of angels. The moment I felt it, no one, not just Lemiel, could make a move.

And at the next moment, a total of three things were done sequentially, but with little or no gaps.

Woof, woof, woof!

The vibrations are getting deeper, and somewhere along the way, a giant black magic gin is emerging.

“Gaaaahhhh!”

Angels hovered on all sides, forcibly dragging them into the enchanted camp.

Shhhhhhhhh!

The black jeans absorb the angel and spit out the darkness once more.

“Woof!”

With its ominous power, Lemiel is instinctively nauseous and screams without knowing it. Things that were thought to be darkness merge into shape.

- Here you go.

- I don't think it's the summoning chamber Satan mentioned...

And then there's the big, dark conversation.

- But I think I can make it work.

- Then it's connected to the Summoning Room. Anyway, you did a really good job.

As soon as I heard the last conversation, Lemiel's mouth blanks.

Eldora is still staring at me with pitiful eyes. I don't see any fluctuations. I didn't want it to come to this, but I knew it would come to this.

As soon as we looked at each other, a family flashed past us.

“Eldora, no! ”

The angel's eyes grow like a flaming glass.

“Devil and hand...! ”

That was the end of Remiel.

Because.

Kuang!

The black hand flew in like a light somewhere, and the wings were ripped apart, so the mountain shattered my head.

Meanwhile, the same time.

“Heeheeheehee! Heeheeheeheehee! ”

In one of the rooms in the blue palace, a strange smile that could not be seen as a human being was bursting out.

“Hiic! Hiic! ”

If anyone saw the room, it would be a big surprise.

“Huff, huff? Hahahaha!”

In spite of the landscape being destroyed by a mess, everyone will feel terrified when they see a black-haired woman rolling like crazy on a dizzy floor.

Then.

“Kiheeheehee…. All right, all right! ”

A woman who slams her fist to make the ground sag, suddenly lies face down with a killer smile. The eyes looking up at the ceiling are glittering with indescribable frenzy.

“Is this what you want? Is this what you wanted? Huh?”

It's definitely a room with no one.

“Hey, that's funny. Yeah, like you said, it's definitely very funny. Kick, Kick, Kick! ”

But the woman, no. Tanatos spoke as if someone was next to him.

“You cheeky bastard. Well, your colleague... No, should I call my army now? Heeheeheeheehee!”

Suddenly, she looks like she's making fun of you. Immediately, the bitter tingling sensation intensifies, then immediately raises the user's jaw. I tear it so far that it reaches under my ears that the surrounding area laughs.

“Hahahahahahahaha!”

The expression of smiling and leaning breathlessly seems rash, but the strange feeling flows.

... so much that I can't see Satan anymore.

I did it...

It feels like it's been burning white for a really long time.

Anyway, episode five is finally over. T

Soo-hyun. I really missed you...
