The wise man returns

Churrarak! Churrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!

The red tentacle-like flesh erupted from around the gem that appeared to be solid.

Phew! Phew!

The tentacles push away the dark red flesh around the gem.

At that time, red blood splattered around the trough, drenching the Pope and his fallen vase.

“Here we go! Harder! Harder! ”

“Yes!”

Shhh.

The tentacles that pushed away the flesh now start to make their own flesh and livestock.

What appeared in between was something white.

Watching this for a moment, Balin firmly fixed his face as soon as he noticed the white identity.

Bones! Bones and flesh! That's bone, muscle, flesh! ’

Gooooo.

The moment I couldn't help but be amazed by the surprising fact, the members of the clergy began to move with light.

Balin rests on the floor to avoid reactions.

Then I felt a huge amount of divine power move through the area I reached.

It was the first time I'd seen this much power, except for fighting the Demon King, which is almost a class nine.

"Heave! ’

Even though I did not know it, Valine's eyes did not leave the Pope.

Pa-bak! Chuuak!

The light of the gemstone has long since vanished to cover its shape and grow in flesh.

But it was hard to even recognize the light coming from the floor because it was so big.

“Why did I fail before? ”

“Lack of cohesion. It was so cloudy.”

“Then let's focus a little more on that this time. ”

Even as the flesh grew, the two continued to exchange opinions.

As the sacred power moved, Valine kept that moment in her head.

The next moment, someone who appeared as a shadow between them slammed his sword at the fleshlump.

* * *

Scholar!

Blood has already spilled a lot, but hot blood has spilled on it once more.

As the blood on the white blade burns, Valine looks at the newcomer.

‘White armor, massive build, and that must be the Black Creed. ’

The third man who appeared was a noticeable orb.

When I saw the divine power rising from my body, it was clear that it was a paladin, but I didn't know what else it was.

Balin opens his eyes, looking at the paladin a little more.

The weapon he was holding was surprisingly neither Mace nor Spear nor Hammer.

"Sculpting Knife? That's a Sculpting Knife, by the way! ’

While Valine held her breath in a confused mood, the Pope and his successor, Nemrod, stretched out the flesh that was in his hand.

“You're just in time. ”

“Well, please. ”

The man in white armor nods silently and makes fun of the carving knife.

Each time, his flesh, muscles and even bones began to bounce off.

It looked like it was chopping meat at a butcher's shop.

However, knowing that the target is the Pope, the Prefect, and the paladin, it feels very frustrating.

"I never thought this would happen in the crypt of the Holy See..."

Balin dramatically revised the assessment of the Holy See that he had been thinking about.

Adding what I just saw, the Holy See might be the third enemy to be defeated with the Demon Lord and the North Tra Empire.

"What the hell is that? ’

Balin approaches and examines the scene of the slaughter.

The Pope and Nemrod's chancellor were created, and the process of slashing the paladin with a carving knife was increasingly apparent.

He opened his eyes for a moment as he watched the shape being made for a moment.

That's... a human figure! What are they making? ’

The contours of the sliced flesh are surprisingly human in shape.

It was also a child that looked five to seven years old, not a fetus.

I was making fingers and toes with no hair or eyes, but what I've seen so far was enough to specify something.

“... It's over. ”

The paladin swings his carving sword in a daze and opens his mouth quietly.

Both the Pope and Nemrod's successors were exhausted due to their tremendous divine power.

Even though the Pope was at the highest level of Divine Power, it was more difficult than that to move this kind of magic camp.

“I see. That's it for today...”

The Pope looking at the finished form raised his mouth tail, and carefully pushed the flesh into the trough like a newborn.

Fast forward.

The three of you finish your work, and you fall down as if you were leaving at the same time. The Balin I was watching was exhausted as well.

“I knew it. Holy Father, I never thought Dragon Heart would be this hard. ”

“I can't help it. You knew it the first time you heard it. ”

The Pope and Nemrod didn't even know there was an outsider, and spoke frankly.

On the other side of the tank, Balin was lying facedown, unable to breathe and focused on remembering their words.

Dragon Heart? So the gem that protrudes from its flesh... "

“Yes, I was getting ready. Long ago.”

“I'm sorry for you. You're failing again and again. ”

“... No. ”

The Pope and Nemrod's chancellor slowly stood up as they calmed down for some time.

Around this time, the saints who were shining the light returned like the first time.

The three who got up from their seats exchanged their eyes, and together they turned and walked toward the entrance.

“We're done here, so we'll just have to check in later. ”

“You will definitely succeed this time. ”

“Thank you for saying that. ”

My voice became distant and I was completely cut off. However, Valine did not cry immediately.

Instead, he counted slowly from one to a thousand. Even after counting three times, I didn't feel any other skills than what I felt in the underground square.

“Whoa...”

Only then did Valine unravel the blockade magic and reveal herself.

It's been a long time since I first came to the underground square.

I was smelling blood all the time, and my head was dizzy by itself.

If it had been a previous body, I wouldn't have opened my eyes like this.

Valine was a dreadful Grand Wizard back then! Although he had pioneered the new landscape of Mado and earned his title as a sage, he was like a living natural disaster after the war.

But now he had the body of a 16-year-old boy. Getting used to the smell of blood isn't the soul, it's what the body has to do. It was not necessary to go through consciousness.

“Ugh...”

Balin barely tolerates the coming vomiting, waits until the nausea subsides and heads for the trough.

If you vomit here, there will be vomit.

If those traces were seen by the Pope, something irreversible might have happened.

“By the way... is that the gem in here the Dragon Heart? ”

Balin rolls up her sleeves with a trembling voice.

Even if he hadn't seen it, he was a well-known item for dragon hearts.

The heart of extinct dragons in a barrel sealing the Demon King that appeared a thousand years ago!

They say they took Mana from the heart and used magic that reached God's throne, and that power was incredibly powerful for them.

But what's in this tank right now is their heart.

I was curious. The arms and legs were too fluttering and trembling.

“... where...”

Must've already rolled up the sleeves. Balin puts his hand into a bathtub full of red water.

Cheapskate.

A lump of dilute, sticky tissue is touched on your finger. It felt disgusting as if someone had just been butchered.

“... Ugh! ”

The soul has already experienced many things, but the past body's defense mechanisms have worked.

Balin makes fun of his hands without any more delay. At that time, the food I had eaten at dinner came up to my throat, but I endured it with superhuman patience.

A little later, something solid was touched between the fleshy, moving hands.

At that moment, Balin opened her mouth without even knowing it.

It was only after I learned how much power was contained in the Dragon Heart, which I thought was a simple jewel.

This, this is...

The identity of the power was not Mana, but Ether. Extremely densely refined ether.

The Dragon Heart was infested with an ether far more powerful than the one Valine had ever made.

If I use this power as it is, I can be terribly strong.

The mountains can be broken with a single gesture, and lightning will not come down.

God! I know how to use it, so I could be like God if I just wrote it down.

‘... should I take it? ’

The moment was intense desire.

With this one, you won't have to worry about the Demon Lord anymore.

With this power, I was not worried about the arrival of the Three Dukes or the Emperor of North Tra, except for the Demon King.

I was more confident that it was Balin who knew how to use ether well. This could have saved the world or destroyed it.

“... but! ”

Valine's emotions spit out her mouth without even knowing it.

In front of you, Leven comes to the inn believing in himself.

If you take this, you may not only be able to save the world, but also be able to purge evil with your own power.

But God, once lost, cannot recover with any powers.

“... Leven trusted me and brought the candidate nobles to the inn. ”

Unlike before, Balin reads with a sinking voice.

Even if I could infiltrate the Holy See, this was way out of range.

Uncomfortable, sometimes annoying. Sometimes he's overwhelmed.

He is, but at the same time, one of the most trustworthy people in this life.

In the face of his betrayal, Valine was unable to restrain his waving eyes.

At that moment, a voice in his mind whispered.

"Shouldn't you be here if you weren't going to betray Leven in the first place? Why are you hesitating now that you've already taken care of yourself? Grab it! Grab it and take it! Make it yours! ’

The voice continues to stir up Balin.

Armed with a logical persuasion of passages, it was now bringing to Balin her previous life's experience.

If you don't want to repeat your past life, take this power.

‘You trusted people. I thought they'd cooperate in the fight against the Darkness with a pure heart. What's the result? Your colleagues are all dead, and you have to come back to the past in the end! And yet you're going to do it again? ’

“... ”

Balin did not respond gracefully.

His voice was another self, and he had already seen through it.

No matter how much you talk to the mirror, it's useless. It was beneficial to wash one more time in that time.

Balin gazes quietly into the blood bath.

The world of my past life flashed on the red water.

As his voice said, he believed in man, and insisted on public law instead of one-sided law.

The result was to use the power of an uncertain god to return to an uncertain past and through an uncertain future.

For the rest of my life, I have cried so earnestly that I will destroy evil and protect the world.

But why would that betray those who have stood up for themselves?

Can we say that we will protect the world after we become dirty?

In front of the challenges that could not be answered, Valine took a slow breath.

The Dragonheart in front of you still shines.

It was fascinating as if it was tempting to take me away.

For a wizard, no. For all unauthorized people, this Dragonheart was more than just a charming beauty.

All you have to do is take it and write it down to reach the end of the unanswered world.

The fact alone is more beautiful than any beauty, and it is something sweeter than any sleep.

In front of the absolute temptation, Balin felt the strength of his fingers.

“... break faith and save the world with ease. Do you keep your faith and go the hard way? That's a problem in between. ”

It took me a long time to unwind my finger.

Either you pushed too hard or your fingers turned red almost as if they were broken.

But at the end of that pain, Valine was finally able to decide.

His deep breath pulls the Dragon Heart into his arms.

Thank you for reading, and I'm sorry. That's all for today's serial number.

I want to thank you again for seeing me today in my review comments.

Yesterday, an reader posted several comments, and as I looked at them, I sensed a lack of self-esteem.

So in the future, I am truly sorry that the hands-on work has been reduced on both sides, as I empowered myself not to be pointed out by such errors.

Tomorrow we will do our best to restore the condition and speed, both of which will be restored to the third softening face.

Then the flames grow green again. I'm sorry, and thank you.
