〈 Episode 295 〉 Prophecy points to death (7)
* * *
Sarah sees the wizard in front of her.
A wizard with gray hair.
The wise man, Raniel van Trias.
Although his appearance had changed a lot, Sarah was confident that the person inside him, Raniel, would never change. That’s natural.
Because that wizard really never changes.
Because no matter what I see or what I experience, Raniel never changes. Because he is always upright. Didn’t he throw it away because he couldn’t bear that uprightness?
‘so···.’
Of course I thought he would refuse.
I expected them to ask me if I was crazy and to tell me to get off right away. If it were Raniel, he would have thought so, and Sara knew that it was the natural and correct reaction.
The saint is the representative of God.
A warrior is an apostle sent by God.
There is also an item in the church’s doctrine that they must represent God and bring salvation to the royal family. That is the duty and responsibility of warriors and saints. Even if you live your life with your eyes turned away from responsibility, that responsibility will not disappear.
This is Raniel, who lives by correct opinion.
My old colleague certainly thought it would be the same this time.
“I don’t force it. “Whether you run away or not is up to you.”
so that.
“Why are you forcing this guy who ran away because he didn’t want to die? I’m tired of that too. “What more can I expect from someone who won’t listen to me after yelling at him for years?”
At this moment, Sarah can’t believe her ears.
The girl in front of me is definitely Raniel.
However, he says something that Laniel would not say. Sarah discovers an unfamiliar side to the person he thought he knew enough to know. He doesn’t even have time to feel surprised by it.
“why. Is it strange?”
Raniel clenched his chin.
“Did you think they were going to tell you to f*ck off, grab Kyle by the collar, make him stand in front of you, and force him to hold a sword?”
Sarah nodded silently.
Because Raniel actually did that.
“Raise your sword.”
“Listen, you bastard.”
“Come on in. If you say I’m giving up here, what on earth will become of me? Who knows what I changed and drank to save you…”
After encountering the Demon King, Raniel and Kyle fought hard. Sarah didn’t dare to get involved in those countless fights.
“···Yes, I thought you would.”
So Sarah made up her mind.
If bowing my head once didn’t work, I came here prepared to follow him around for days.
‘But, so easily…’
I never imagined that my story would be listened to so easily. While Sarah was so confused, Raniel let out a long sigh and opened his mouth.
“It might have been like that not long ago.”
“···yes?”
“Just like that.”
Raniel nervously messed up his hair. She, too, has found some answers to the skepticism she has harbored over the years. It was Gala Hal’s death that gave her the definitive answer.
Risking your life to fight against disaster.
The end that came was beautiful, but it did not look that beautiful in Raniel’s eyes. He lived according to the ideals he cried out for, but the fate of Galahal, who died after achieving his ideals, made Raniel skeptical.
The end is indeed beautiful and sublime.
I don’t care if that happens to me.
Raniel truly thought so.
‘···If it’s a death like that, if it’s the end where I can achieve something and leave something behind, I can understand it.’
However, I have no intention of forcing that kind of life on others. Didn’t Galahal himself prove that it was a penance that required walking a rough and rough path?
“They say don’t force it.”
Raniel muttered.
“In a way, it is a will, but shouldn’t the deceased’s will be listened to?”
Even if I don’t feel like it, I’m going to give it a try.
It has already failed once. If you fail, you might have to look for another way. In fact, even Raniel himself doesn’t know how to deal with Kyle anymore.
I don’t think Kyle is right, ever.
What that son of a bitch did to me is something I can never forgive. Who is walking this path because of whom, and who is the only one who wants to get off this path? It is unacceptable. Without him, Raniel felt extremely betrayed by Kyle.
That will take several years.
I’m tired of even being angry now.
I even have doubts about what meaning there is in doing something like this. Maybe it was because he was looking for a replacement for Kyle, or maybe it was because he felt like he wasn’t quite right either.
I’m just tired now.
Because I was tired and left Kyle’s side.
“I just don’t want to worry about it.”
Raniel muttered helplessly.
In a way, that is Raniel’s true feelings. Raniel’s voice came out from the cracks of the mask that had been worn for so long that it was now almost like my own skin.
“I’ve been pecking at you for years, but what are you forcing me to do when you don’t listen? Just figure it out. “Don’t you remember what I said back then?”
Raniel chuckled.
“Eat well and live well without me. “I told you so.”
Raniel stood up.
“Whether you come or not is up to you. “I plan to answer on the premise that he doesn’t exist from the beginning.”
So, you do your job too.

That was the moment when Raniel was about to pass by Sara, muttering that. Sarah reached out her hand and grabbed Raniel’s wrist.
“···What?”
“Anyway, you’re going.”
Sarah sighed.
“If you go, Kyle goes too. “I don’t know why, but it always happens that way.”
Sighing, she looks back at Raniel.
“Raniel.”
“what.”
“Are you sure?”
“what.”
“That I can find the answer, and that I won’t run away from a fight to the death.”
Raniel blinked and quickly answered.
“uh.”
The answer is short. As always.
“Oh really···!”
Sarah ruffled my hair.
She sighed nervously and looked at Raniel with wide eyes.
“Do it. “I will do as I tell you.”
“suddenly? “Are you crazy?”
“Yes, it’s crazy. “You and Kyle have both gone crazy, but what can I do?”
Sarah stood up.
Sarah shot back, raising her index finger and pointing at Raniel.
“Ask me to do anything. Just like we did in the old days. To me, there doesn’t seem to be an answer, but you see something in your eyes. Yes?”
“I have a slightly broader perspective than you.”
“Wow, no cheesiness.”
Sarah let out a laugh as if she was tired now.
That smile doesn’t last long. Sarah stopped laughing and said with her eyes narrowed.
“I will do as you tell me, so promise me one thing.”
She said.
“Don’t let Kyle die.”
Please do whatever it takes.
“Please do me a favor.”
Sarah bowed her head and asked Raniel.
2.
Sarah did not leave for the battlefield right away. Sarah rented a church near the royal capital and stayed there all day, closing her eyes and dreaming. She spent most of her day kneeling before the statue of God.
Kneel down and half-bow your head.
She fell asleep like she was praying, and when she opened her eyes, Sarah spoke in a quiet voice.
“Write it down.”
As she said that, the priests waiting by her side moved their quills. Sarah embodied her prophecy without missing a single thing. The location, location, surroundings, and even the movement of the sword of death.
Sarah saw it all.
When I woke up, I dictated what I had seen.
The prophetic book compiled from her oral statements is extremely detailed. This is unprecedented in the history of the church, but considering Sarah’s talent, it is not strange.
A child born with unprecedented talent.
Sarada was even said to be a rare saint who would be responsible for the next hundreds of years of the Delohim Church. She immerses herself in her one topic with all her might. The result is truly amazing.
“······.”
A prophetic book that is updated every day.
After receiving it, Raniel begins to make a plan. He longs for a means to gather information, characterize and write down the terrain.
“Sir, I found related information.”
Next to it is Kalt.
The two stayed up all night extracting as much information as possible from the concrete prophecy. Raniel pronounced the specified location and time.
“26 days later, Northern Kennel Plain.”
The location overlaps with the first prophecy hundreds of years ago.
Raniel does not think it is a coincidence that the sword of death appears there. It has a clear purpose. What is its purpose?
Raniel looks at the map.
Although it is not properly marked on the map, Raniel knows what is nearby in Kenel Plain.
“The Holy Land of the North.”
Ganichalt van Galatric.
The place where the holy sword used by the first hero is placed.
Hundreds of years ago, Ganicalt targeted that place.
And, it was stopped by the first Grace. Now, hundreds of years later, Ganicalt is trying to set foot in the North once again.
‘To retrieve the holy sword?’
Is that really the purpose?
It is clear that there must be some connection. Raniel, who was worried, went to visit Cardi. Because I thought that the ancient elf would know something.
“My old comrades cannot cross the Demon Realm. “You probably know that fact, right?”
“okay. “I heard there was a contract.”
“Gani Kalt signed the strongest contract among them all. In fact, he is no different from the apostle of the shadows.”
Cardi unfolded the map.
said Cardi, pointing to the line that crosses the Kennel Plain.
“The sacred site is a kind of borderline. It is also proof of the contract. You won’t be able to get over it. “It shouldn’t be possible to overcome it, but…”
If he decides to do so.
If you decide to do so.
“If you want to get back the half of your body that you lost, the stars will try to close their eyes at least once. Ganicalt was favored by the stars more than anyone else.”
“···Does that make sense?”
“It’s a problem because it makes sense. “Hasn’t Gleria actually been given a few chances?”
Raniel bit his lip.
When he invaded the Night City, the apostate said this was his last chance. Was it really the permission of the stars?
“I’m really going to be amazed. “So there’s no weakening or anything like that?”
“That won’t happen.”
“···Then why didn’t you come look for me earlier?”
“Ganikalt wouldn’t have intended to do that.”
Cardi said.
“He failed, but he never forgot his pride. “I guess he didn’t think about taking back the sword he gave to his student.”
“Then now…”
“You probably want some shade. strongly.”
The black dragon’s head fell off.
Skebal is defeated every time.
Meanwhile, the apostate suffered fatal injuries and disappeared.
Abnormal phenomena that had not occurred for hundreds of years occurred one after another in the past few years. In the meantime, it would not be just speculation to say that the shadow is about to move.
“So what do you plan on doing?”
“We have to stop it. “What should I do?”
“Can you stop it?”
“First of all, you have to try everything you can.”
Cardi, who had been silent for a long time, opened her mouth.
“Don’t die, Raniel.”
Raniel laughed at those words.
“I can’t die yet. “There is so much to do.”
3.
In the North, there was a complete breakdown in relations with the denomination.
It was because of the cardinal’s atrocities, and the North did not want to listen to the words of the religious order. Naturally, the priests were denied entry to the North, and in the end, it was the people sent by the royal family who headed to the North.
“The leader of the Hounds, Guarder, is Kalt. I meet the master of the North.”
A person who rose to the position of swordsman.
Eryahl inwardly clicked his tongue at the state achieved by the person who bowed his head in front of him. She became a superhuman at a young age, and her eyes are extremely sharp.
“He’s a guy I like.”
Erijl smiled contentedly.
Kalt was treated well by the warriors and passed on information.
“A prophet appeared, and a prophecy came down.”
As Kalt explains the information of the prophecy, the warriors frown. In the North, the existence of God is almost an illusion. Feeling displeased with being associated with the church, the warriors’ eyes turn to Eryahl.
Should we shut that person up?
The warriors asked with their gazes, but Eryhal only quietly shook his head. Only after Kalt had finished speaking did Erya Hul open his mouth.
“I don’t believe what religious people say.”
But, added Erijl.
“We must not forget the words of our ancestors.”
“The day is coming when prophecy points to death.”
“Do not deny that day.”
An ancestral legacy passed down to those who carry on Grace’s blood. Eryahl did not forget Grace’s fate, which was announced the moment she ascended the throne.
“Death never forgets pride.”
“Grace must show pride in the face of death.”
“It is the last pact I made with my teacher.”
thud!
Eryahl struck down his beloved bottle.
The banquet hall of the White Night Castle resonates loudly.
That is nothing short of positive for the warriors.
Permission has been granted from Grace, the master of the North.
