"The Endless Paladin, Chapter Five: The Goddess of the Land of Sacraments."
Think about it.
- Why should we fear eternity?
"Question of the Immortal Stagnate"
◆
- When I went through the cave, it wasn't people's territory.
A deserted wilderness spreading abruptly.
I don't see the horizon. At the end of his gaze, something like white fog is glowing.
Beyond the fog, instantly the forest grew, the building stood side by side, and burned and collapsed and disappeared, seeming as if it were a mirage or something.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
…………
If you look up, there are no stars in the sprawling night sky.
Instead, there was a radiant giant swirl pattern in shades reminiscent of a rainbow, centered on a certain point in the north.
It's a sky that's going to suck your soul in unexpectedly. I even feel a psychedelic impression.
... If the memory of your previous life is certain, the starry sky shot at long exposure should look like this.
It is obvious that there is something wrong with the flow of time when we think of the mirage landscape in the distance.
Looking back, there was nowhere in the cave that was supposed to have passed until just now.
Though I was prepared, this still seems like a pretty good place.
... I decided to wait a little longer because I couldn't feel any sign of her (...) who was supposed to have dived in the cave with me.
In the meantime, gently check the equipment.
Instead of the mourned Moon, the Golden Spirit Sword, Called at Dawn, was re-tailored into a sword.
A life-sweeping Devil's Sword, "The Eating Up (Overeater)", once wielded by the Devils, inherited from Brad.
No way. Half a dozen oval-shaped lead bullets in two homemade stone throwing strings.
Sturdy dagger for both knives and work.
The protective gear worn over the thick garment is Dragon Scale Armor, Dragon Skyle Armor.
It is a hard-leather armor (hard leather armor) that has been poisoned and removed from the leather of the evil dragon Varakhiaka and extended to be simmered with fairy beeswax, sewn on the dragon scales of the poisoned Varakhiaka as well.
Fire resistance and corrosion resistance are as high as jokes, there is no burning when pressed against red-hot baking, and there is no slight loss when draped with curse poison or strong acids. In addition, there is resistance to magic.
This equipment is excellent for handling acrobatic motions, swimming, climbing, and situations that require long walks. This is the only way to come to this unprecedented area.
In addition, these boots are sturdy for leather gloves made from dragon leather - finger protection has to be dropped slightly because 'writing' magic becomes more difficult to use when you cover them with your hands up to your fingertips.
Large, pockety backpack with belt pouch. One pair of replacement boots.
A thin bunch of rope, stored in a handpan in a blanket, a water bag in a food, dressed in needles and threads, a clove of hand axe in a knife, ten fat nails in a single shake, some spices, some spirits, salt, and spices.
The hooded cape is equipped with a talisman bearing the Word of Guardianship on each side.
- With the exception of the equipment of the recently completed Evil Dragon material, it's roughly the same as when you're always on an adventure.
Inspect these repeatedly, move your hands and feet gently, and pray to God.
That was my usual routine before the adventure.
This custom was a source of courage and reassurance.
Many problems have been cut through together with these equipment, the technology acquired and the protection of God.
So I could tell myself that I would be able to do that again.
…………
But now I am disturbed by anxiety.
Check your gear.
Make sure your hands and feet move as usual.
But even with my hands together and my prayers, I can only feel a slight presence of God that should have been so familiar.
- Here (...), the presence of the god of lightning is too far away.
"……… of the lights, protect."
The usual sacrament of prayer.
More truthful than usual cage and whine.
- Please protect me.
And that's when.
From behind, there was a rustling sound.
Turning around, a raven with red eyes, like red balls, was about to descend slowly.
When I give him an unwillingly leather-handed arm, the raven tucks into my arm.
"Hey, hey, sorry I'm late. - Have you been waiting?
When the raven looked up at me, she put on her little neck and said something like that.
"You waited for me, I was bored."
"That's where I came from." But say it, Kimi.
"You blunt the Word when you lie, because you're a wizard."
"I can't get along, Holy Knight!
She laughs and squeals her mouth - Immortal Stagnate.
He is my foe, my god, the foe of Gracefield, the god of lightning, and my sister god.
"We were able to reach the edge safely."
"How much longer from here to your destination?
When I asked him that, Stagnate took a breath.
Quietly for a while - and tilted his neck.
"…… how long will it be?
"Why can't I understand you? So awesome!?
"There will be no choice, because something lifelike enters this realm is really rare."
Well, if it's moving on, we'll get there eventually, and so on and so forth.
I want you to give me a break.
"Whatever it is, it's The End of the Holy Knight. Let's celebrate our arrival first."
On my arm, she laughs and spreads her black wings wide.
Then the black raven disappeared like an illusion.
If you noticed, you had a long beauty in your arm.
Wavy, nagging brunette, similar to the god of lightning.
This thin purple dress embodies the shoulders and chest.
And most importantly, the strength of her temperament, her superb intelligence and her lovely naiveté lived together without contradiction, with her ruby-like eyes.
You look up at me and you come.
"-!?
He shakes his head in a hurry, scratches his head, and jumps away with his arms.
The sand in the wilderness was powerful enough to make jarring noises on the soles of his shoes.
"... you don't have to be so frightened, do you?
"Born, cowardly"
My heart is pounding in tension.
I'm really not alarmed.
"Ma, fine. It's a different case this time, let's leave it at that for later."
She said so, clapping her shoulders...
"…… O Living One, The Endless Sage. Welcome to the Mysterious Land of the Unseen and Immortal!
She had a really happy expression when she said that with a playful expression.
From afar, there are signs that the god of lightning is very worried.
... How did I end up in a place like this and with the Immortals?
The history goes back a few hours - on a summer solstice day night.
