The Branded Female Fencer

The opening of the war, the truth of the world in its 38th ~ ③ ~

"Does that mean that the world will perish?"

"Well, that's definite." I dare to call you Miko. How many more years do I have? "

“It's roughly 500 years old. It's been forecast for over 2,000 years, but it's not going to change anything.”

According to the words of his son, Polskaya cannot stand up.

The world is ruined--no, it's already ruined?

"From information from Lovantin." Once upon a time, the world was bigger, life was better than it is now, and civilization would develop even further. How developed was the structure so high that plans to migrate to another planet began? The earth is filled with creatures, and we must respect each other's positions, be friendly, and be grateful for the grace of the Spirit. There really was a time like that. "

"Of course, the perfect time didn't last long. I was born in the later days of the world, the Spirit Administrator. Would it be appropriate to speak of a certain law and a magic law? Normally, they don't speak the language, but they are responsible for communicating the words of nature and the Spirit to other creatures. I was born after the decisive event that destroyed the world.”

His son looked up to heaven as if he were nostalgic. And he talks in tears.

"--At that time, it was only knowledge and fragmentary footage. Even Levantin, the recording medium, has no accurate information left. After all, it seems like the continent was devastated until just before the collapse of the planet, so it's only natural that the record should be damaged. The continent used to be thousands of times larger than it is today, so what was the impact when it collapsed?"

"Thousands of times - is it true?"

“For example, at Lachia's speed, it would take about a month to get around the stars?”

Rakia can fly from edge to edge in half a day on the current continent. How big it is is going to be unimaginably large.

Polskaya thought about the question desperately as she opened her mouth.

"Who--who did that?"

"According to the records, the three angry goddesses -- I don't have any details of them, but the creatures from the previous continent resisted by any means, but it was in vain." The metaphor of all means -- yes. Do you think it's easy to understand that there are dozens of Levantines with all their abilities, hundreds of warriors wielding them, and yet they were destroyed in one day? The apostle I encountered at the ruins - I wonder what kind of goddess he was because he used a monster in a fully manifested state as a demon. "

"No, no, no, I can't imagine it." Nah, why hasn't this world disappeared without a trace? It's okay to be completely destroyed, right?

“I don't know. Maybe it was the result of desperate resistance, or maybe the goddess had run out of strength. It could be just a whim. However, the struggle using extraterrestrial forces caused a crustal fluctuation involving the stars, and most of the continents were either submerged under the sea or disappeared. This was supposed to be a paradise for the last living creature.”

Miko said. Seven powerful ancient species and seven capable races gathered in the last continent of paradise. Just because it survived, I don't know if it was really capable. Because once, both dragons and demons had the same abilities as the humans who lived in ancient times, and the humans used to have the same abilities as the humans who lived in the past.

The fact that even that bikezel was worth as much as a bio-cell for a human being once.

It's a living organism?

“Say, something like a highly efficient firewood - is that an analogy?”

"I understand that."

"Seriously?"

I couldn't imagine the opponent using time-saving magic was using firewood. Polskaya finally stopped thinking and fell asleep.

"I can't keep up, I don't want to go"

"I feel the same way. But keep going."

Of course.

Miko went on to say that. The race and seven creatures suddenly endowed with the role of leader of the continent from the treatment of Shimonoseki were puzzled. How do you maintain a world that even humans once destroyed? There is no right answer. They thought hard.

In the process, the fools began to contend. No one knows what happened and who started it, but the child repeats the manifestation and dormancy. Ukko and Akka may be the cause, but they are only one element. But when I realized it, even the rest of the world followed the path of destruction.

“I thought paradise would always be there. But when the crustal fluctuation augured, everyone began to say that doom was destiny. Those who insist on stopping the fluctuation of the earth's crust, those who give up and try to use the time to perish in a degenerate way, those who stop thinking, those who try to find a new heaven and earth. There was a lot to deal with, but Oranzebu's actions were realistic.”

"What the hell is that?"

I wonder if it would be better to say that the life of the continent is prolonged.

Miko's expression was loosened. It seemed like a welcome and a vision of surrender. If I were happy or sad, would I look like this?

"Noticing the depletion of spirits with the fluctuations, Oranzebul tried to increase the spirits of the continent itself. It was a ritual magic that involved the continent. Sacrifice too many other lives to enrich the continent and prevent its collapse. That's what Oranzebull thought."

"That is the truth of the world. With the completion of this ritual magic, Oranzebull intends to show the world the truth about the continent. Leave it alone and it will soon perish. And you're going to tell me what to do?”

"Don't be silly! Then why don't you ask for help honestly!?"

"Oranzebull didn't expect anything from anyone. Probably not just for myself, but also for the ancient dragon, the high elf, and the demon. Yes, of course, to humans."

Even the once-perfect man destroyed the world. What can we do to ourselves, who were inferior among them? When it comes to what we actually did, isn't it just what we fought for? As a result, most of the races were destroyed. And humans do the same thing all the time.

"That's what happens when you look at the results." I wonder what Oranzebull would have thought if he had watched it up close. The chiefs of the races who should be responsible for the next generation are Gwendorf, who is unconscious, Gora, who is only interested in training, the rampant bronze, and Yerasha, who is only capable of fighting. Even if I were in Oranzebull's shoes, it would be a burnout. "

What are you going to do with empathy?

"Levantin, who was watching everything, has no feelings." But that's what they're supposed to be based on. Isn't your son's feelings and impressions the same? "

"Because I am like a law, I have no such emotions as Levantin. But-"

When I tried to convey the words of the Spirit, it gradually began to manifest itself as a human from the ratio of the number of people. However, the human spirit was immature, and it took time to manifest it, or even if it manifested, the organ could not bear it and collapsed or went insane.

While repeating such a thing, few people can recognize their existence, and then--

"It looks like Oranzebull thinks I'm in the way now. In order to achieve his plan, he tried to eliminate or put under control unexpected factors with enough power to overturn them. I used astrology, predicted my authority, and sent you."

I see, it just happened to be Alpha Reese.

"Oranzebull's plan is roughly right. I think we're trying to buy some time, and in the meantime, gather the strength of a race that's on the verge of annihilation, and figure out what we can do about it. Or, if the crust fluctuates, another continent may rise in the meantime. It seems that there has been a small uplift of the earth, but--"

“It's not going to work,” Alphilees muttered in a small voice. The fact that Oranzebull took a large number of humans alive is probably a lie-down. But so was Alpha Reese, and the black magicians, the other Swendles, the Purifying White Club, and the Church of Olympus were already aware of it.

After all, unity is a matter of painting. Neither Polskaya nor his son could deny the words of Alphilees.
