MEMORIZE Chapter 866

00866 D-Day, Five. ————————————————– ———————-=

Leave the Blue Palace and walk down the street.

In the end, a decision, no. Unable to make a choice, I was heading to the temple called Eldora. As my consciousness became clearer, the confusion felt even greater, and thanks to this, the noise on the street did not interfere with my thoughts in any way.

I still don’t know if this is really right or wrong. Still not sure.

Apart from this, the reason for walking is solid. For the sake of individuals, for humans, and even for the entire southern continent. The justification is so clear that it cannot be faulted. okay. I know that what I am doing now is reasonable.

But why does it feel like I keep falling down the wrong path?

The reason I’m not sure is because I can’t find the answer on my own, so I’m relying on and hoping for someone else. Of course, you can rationalize that it is inevitable, but this process itself creates unexpected anxiety. I had a strong feeling that something was wrong from somewhere.

… However, there was no turning back now.

Suddenly the wind blew. As if to feel this flow, Eldora tilts her chin back and quietly closes her eyes. The wind was chilly, but it cooled her boiling brain.

When I opened my eyes again, there was a white temple in front of me, revealing its majesty. Just before she sighed and started up her stairs, Eldora’s eyes looked down at her. Her white bag is carried with the end of her strap hanging diagonally from her right shoulder.

At that moment, for a brief moment, the light of conflict flashed by.

But worry for a moment. Eldora soon puts one hand into her bag, her determined eyes shining. She rummaged around for a while as if she was looking for something, and then she pulled out her tightly clenched fist and raised it to the top of her head.

What he was holding in his hand was none other than a headdress. It is studded with bluish-black beads the size of fingernails. The number is exactly ten. Eldora tied her blond hair tightly with a gesture that could have been thought to be solemn, and only then climbed her stairs.

After climbing the stairs and entering the temple, I finally saw the portal. After standing right in front of you, take a few deep breaths to calm your pounding heart. And then I quietly buried myself in the gently undulating sea of ​​light.

The next place we reached was,

“Welcome. “Eldora.”

It was a very heavy and strange space, all gray in color.

“It’s a little late. “Everyone is already gathered.”

It’s a beautiful, but at the same time, creepy, emotionless voice. As Eldora calmly bowed her head, the angel slowly stood up from the altar.

“Well, it’s not too late, so it doesn’t matter. Then, we will guide you directly to the meeting place… .”

It was then. The angel who was just about to wave his hand suddenly opened his eyes slightly. It seems that Eldora’s whereabouts have finally been confirmed. He slowly looked up and down as if scanning, then smiled slightly.

“Come to think of it, this is my first time seeing my hair tied up like that. Did you pay special attention to this meeting? Hehehe.”

“yes?”

“I’m telling you to relax. “Your face is so stiff.”

“… Is that so.”

Eldora tried to touch her headdress, but quickly lowered her hand and caressed her face. And just as she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Why are you carrying a bag?”

The angel suddenly asked a question.

Her breath stopped for a moment, but Eldora opened her mouth reflexively and as she had prepared.

“It’s a monster summoning box.”

“yes. It seems so. But why are you here… ?”

A thought crossed my mind, “Did I know?”, but I tried to control my expression and continued speaking.

“I received a call right before I left with my clan members.”

“Are you going out?”

“I heard that you don’t know which monster will be summoned.”

“Oh~. “Then you probably want to go back quickly, right?”

The angel nodded in understanding and chuckled.

“Don’t worry. “I’ll be able to go back soon.”

Eventually, when the angel waved his hand, brilliant light fluttered and a new portal was created.

“Because Eldora is wise.”

Eldora looked quietly at the angel who entered as if telling him to follow after leaving a single word. And when he was completely hidden in the light, he said something wise and slowly headed towards the portal.

Meanwhile, Eldora was walking towards another portal.

“Eldora?”

“I checked that your hair was tied in front of the entrance.”

In a corner outside the temple, two users were talking.

“good. then… .”

“It is finally the beginning of D-Day. “I’ll see you later.”

The user who put on his hood and turned to leave was none other than Ian. And Melina Nus, who was left alone, looked up at the sky with her nervous eyes for some reason.

Papat!

Before long, a flash suddenly exploded and exploded.

“huh? “Didn’t you hear something just now?”

“I heard. “Uh, what is that?”

“What? what?”

“Ha, in the sky… .”

It was not a small sound at all, so people walking down the street tilted their heads one by one. When I looked up, a light blue light was slowly spreading like paint mixed into the clear sky.

What was gradually taking shape was a video. As if seen through a communication bead, a translucent landscape begins to reveal itself.

The important thing is that the cluster of lights in the sky is not one. Videos are popping up all over the city, and at a rough estimate, there seem to be as many as ten.

– So, Eldora?

Before I could question it, a loud voice rang through the air.

– I believe you know why we have prepared this event today.

At first glance, the scene where angels gathered to fill the entire video was truly spectacular. As if they were mesmerized by the mysterious sight, the users’ eyes instantly turned to the sky.

and.

– … … .

A dark energy rises quietly from the top of Eldora, who stands alone on the ground. It was a very faint and vague aura that you couldn’t notice unless you looked closely.

*

‘Heaven’, an independent space connected to all summoning rooms within each continent.

“A significant number of users have been coming in and out of the summoning room over the past few days. “It’s unprecedented in recent years.”

From a distant peak that I couldn’t even see, a clear voice came down and rang in my ears.

“I heard the same story from not just one or two people, but dozens or hundreds of people.”

“… … .”

“And it is said that the source of this rumor is the Odin Clan… . Is that right?”

“… … .”

No answer. The other person asked, but Eldora said nothing and just stared into space.

“… “I guess that’s right.”

A light sigh flows. His voice was soft, but it also sounded like he was reprimanding, as if asking why he was doing something so useless.

However, compared to when she first came in, Eldora’s heart was completely sunken. She would have felt intimidated to have this many people looking down at her from all directions, but she stood there with a calm face.

Although I was quiet, I felt like I was cooling down as I faced gazes that could hardly be considered friendly.

“Why did you do that?”

At the question that finally began, Eldora slowly lowered her head.

Eventually, the sky with no end in sight was about halfway in sight.

“Why?”

I quietly opened my mouth.

“Didn’t I ask the question? User Eldora.”

If the angel’s voice has become a little lower, is it really an illusion?

no. It’s not an illusion. It feels like my whole body is freezing, as if the temperature around me has dropped. However, the more it happened, the more strength was gradually gained in Eldora’s neck.

“First of all, let me admit it. “Odin was the one who planned the conquest of the Eastern Continent.”

“As expected, it was like that. So, why did you make a plan that didn’t work?”

When I was cut off before I could even finish speaking, I automatically gritted my teeth.

“So you didn’t ask? “Why not?”

“… yes?”

“What I’m saying is, can’t we attack the eastern continent?”

“… … .”

At that moment, did you sense a rather challenging tone? The space suddenly becomes quiet.

Of course, the silence did not last long.

“yes. No.”

Eldora’s eyes narrow at the resolutely cold notice.

“I don’t understand. “Why did you suddenly have such an idea and plan?”

“I heard you already heard the rumor. “That is my position.”

“Hmm. “You mean the competitive structure surrounding the center?”

“That’s right.”

As if he already knew it, the angel got straight to the point.

“Well, it was quite an interesting theory. … By the way, are you sure?”

“… … ?”

“Just suspicion alone can’t be considered proper evidence, right? “Any proof that that’s really going to happen?”

“doesn’t exist.”

Eldora shook her head, and just as the angel was about to smile,

“But there’s no evidence to suggest that won’t happen.”

Eldora continues speaking calmly. The angel’s face naturally hardened.

“Did I just mishear?”

“… … .”

“I never thought I would bring up something so basic. Eldora? “Eldora must know her situation well.”

“situation?”

“That’s right, Sir. If Eldora was just an average user, then yes. He would understand why he thought that way. But isn’t Eldora a guardian? “He is a guardian.”

“I am not the guardian of the eastern continent, but the guardian of the southern continent.”

At that moment, the angel stopped speaking, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face. However, the reaction is not visible in Eldora’s eyes as she stands on the ground.

“The point of this plan is to eliminate continents that may compete in the future. In other words, it is a road for the entire southern continent. But why are you speaking as if it goes against your duties as a guardian?”

“Eldora Cornelius!”

At that time, the angel’s voice rose for the first time. For some reason, the voice was even filled with subtle anger.

“Does this meeting look like a place where you can dare to play with words?”

“Where is the pun?”

“W-what?”

“Which part of what I said was a pun?”

Suddenly, Eldora’s eyes begin to shine brightly.

“I will make this clear. I am more serious now than ever. “I understand the importance of this meeting, and I have no intention of playing with words.”

“So, if you’re trying to brush off my argument by dismissing it as a simple pun, I absolutely hate it this time.”

Eldora said all this in a very strong and clear voice. He even showed his determination, as if he would never back down today. Did El Dora feel her will or was she speechless? A heavy silence falls once again on ‘Heaven’.

How much time has passed?

“Heavily.”

After a long silence, the angel opened his mouth.

“That’s amazing.”

Eldora’s eyes opened slightly. This is because she was an angel who was at the highest point in heaven and was descending at some point.

By the time it had come down to the point where the face could be seen with the naked eye.

“It makes me doubt whether this is really the Eldora I know.”

A surprisingly gentle smile appeared on the lips of the angel who stopped in the air. While Eldora hesitated for a moment, the angel opened his mouth with a smile still on his face.

“Anyway, I was a little surprised… . Still, I understand. no. I decided to understand. Listening to El Dora’s words, I think she certainly could have thought that way. Regardless of whether she is right or wrong.”

The voice flowing through the space is very sweet and ecstatic. My ears are drawn to the gently soothing tone.

“But Eldora. It is very wrong to try to solve everything that happens in life with dichotomous thinking or black and white logic. I don’t know who put the idea in and for what purpose, but is attacking the eastern continent really that important right now? “I don’t know if it’s absolutely necessary, but Ragnarok hasn’t stabilized yet, right?”

But did the angel know?

“So, is it called mannerism in human language?”

The fireball in Eldora’s chest is already burning out of control.

“is it so. Eldora always acted rationally and always took the lead in his duties. This is something our angels know well and think highly of. And as a result, he achieved his long-cherished wish of conquering the Orc Castle… .”

Suddenly, the angel’s words gradually became blurred. That was probably because I saw the expression Eldora was currently making. A face that looks painful at first glance, but at the same time has a cold sneer on it.

“Why are you making that face?”

“… Didn’t I tell you? What I want is a clear answer, not something that can be glossed over with coaxing. “I don’t mean to play with words.”

Then, the gentle spring breeze on the angel’s face disappeared in an instant.

“So what are you going to do? Are you saying you won’t change your mind?”

“no. Maybe not, if you answer my question truthfully. Of course, it may change depending on the answer.”

The atmosphere surrounding you begins to change little by little. The angel’s face slowly frowned, as if his pride was hurt. Soon, he glares at Eldora with a very displeased face.

“great. “What kind of question is this?”

“It’s simple. “If you want to cancel this plan, just say so.”

“So that’s it.”

“We humans, no, the users. “Wouldn’t there be a need to compete over the center in the future?”

At that moment, a faint light passed over the angel’s face. However, Eldora did not end there and continued speaking once more.

“If you agree, I will cancel my plans as soon as I leave here.”

“Well, how can I guarantee that? “We are just helpers.”

“Of course, there is a good chance that war will break out. However, this means that there is no inevitable war, not an accidental accident.”

“Well, that is.”

When Eldora spoke strongly, the angel’s mouth fell shut. Then he moves his mouth for a moment, then clears his throat and continues speaking.

“Hmm. Unfortunately, that is a question that cannot be answered for sure. Users must find out information about the new continent on their own. “Common sense tells us that we can’t give preferential treatment only to the southern continent, right?”

“I’m not saying I want to know the location. Is continental competition inevitable or not? I just want you to be clear about this part. Doesn’t this work too?”

“… … .”

“under.”

When the angel fell silent, a laughable sigh broke out.

“Then this is what it comes down to. I can’t tell you anything. “Just don’t do it.”

“Eh, Eldora.”

“This, this meeting… . Is this your position to control me? “As you wish?”

“No, I mean.”

“therefore?”

“… … .”

Silence, silence, silence, silence.

No matter how long I wait, I don’t hear an answer. However, the surrounding atmosphere tells us that it is an unspoken positivity.

In the end, Remiel looked away.

“I apologize if you felt that way.”

“I don’t want an apology.”

“no. Anyway, I can’t tell you the information you want. “Because we also have circumstances.”

“… circumstances?”

“stop. “I will not allow you to speak any further than this.”

“… … !”

That was the moment I heard those words.

Eldora felt as if something that had been barely connected so far was suddenly cut off. And for a split second, she thought Eldora’s face suddenly distorted.

“why… .”

He suddenly lowered his head.

“Then why don’t you think about our situation…?” ?”

As my tightly clenched fist trembles, a trembling voice comes out.

“Why aren’t you telling me… . Why do you keep trying to hide it? .”

“Just do what you’re told…” . That’s the situation you’re talking about… ?”

He was talking as if he was talking to himself, but he was speaking so bitterly that all the angels could hear him.

“okay… . Come to think of it, I’ve been like that before… .”

“Even when we first met… . Even when I was crying and crying and asking why she was summoned… .”

As if recalling old times, his voice becomes like the howling of an angry animal.

“why! “Why can’t you tell me?”

Now, it’s a cry that’s close to crying.

“Well… . That’s the way it is in the end… . The woman was right… .”

I don’t want to admit it, but I have no choice but to admit it.

“Eldora. What to say now… ?”

It was then.

The moment he asked the question, his bowed head suddenly lifted up, and the angel had a surprised expression on his face. Just like the day he was first summoned, he was staring with wide eyes as if he didn’t know what to do. Before I knew it, Eldora, standing here, was no longer a user, but just a weak girl.

“Really? “So you can’t tell me, or you won’t tell me?”

Eldora wiped her eyes with the back of her hand like a child and glared at the angel with terrifying eyes.

“Well, what… .”

A look of embarrassment spreads like a spider’s web on the stuttering angel’s face. However, the brakes that Eldora had endured had already been released a long time ago.

“agent… . saying.”

“agent… ?”

“They say I summoned you for a purpose.”

“Mo, what is the purpose? “What is that!”

It was that moment.

“They say it’s because of the zero code!”

The cry of Eldora that finally exploded not only resounded throughout the heavens, but also

– They say it’s because of zero code!

The video resonated throughout the city where it was being played.

At the same time, the angel

“… ah?”

I was shocked with my eyes wide open. She looked completely dumbfounded, as if she was at a loss for words.

After a while.

The heavens, which had been quiet until now no matter what happened, began to be filled with the bustle of angels. And the moment she checked the reactions of those around her, a confidence arose within Eldora.

“I heard, I heard. A protective device to protect the heavens, Zero Code… .”

“Eh, Eldora? Now, just wait a moment.”

“They said they summoned us to protect it. They said they were doing this to insert a ridiculous setting called the user and use it in the war against the hostile forces! no?”

“… … .”

The silence continued, but the angel’s reaction quickly changed.

I was surprised for a moment. He lightly waved his hand to make the commotion die down, and then looked down at the ground with cold eyes.

“why! Why should we, who have nothing to do with it, get caught up in your fight! Why on earth!”

“… “Who did you hear that from?”

“Does it matter now?”

“yes. It’s important. It’s very important. So tell the truth. “Who did you hear it from?”

It is a voice without even the slightest hint of emotion. Eldora twists her mouth as if she is truly sad.

I didn’t even want an apology.

I just hoped not.

no. Even if it was true, I hoped he would tell the truth.

But, but… .

“Hmm… .”

Eldora let out a sound that could not be either a sigh or a moan, and took a deep breath. Breathe several times until your pounding heart subsides and the tremors in your shoulders subside. And when she opened her eyes again, Eldora had returned from being a girl to a user again.

“… “I’ll go back.”

A hoarse voice came out from the mouth that was opened with difficulty.

“Unless there is a definite answer, there will be no cancellation of the plan to conquer the Eastern Continent. “We decide what is right and wrong.”

“Oh, that’s enough. “Anyway, who did you hear that from?”

“… And, as of today, I will quit being the Guardian of the Southern Continent. then.”

“L, do, la?”

A terrifying voice was heard, but Eldora turned around without paying attention. And without the slightest hesitation, she buries her body toward the swaying portal.

… no.

To be exact, that was the moment.

ping!

For a moment, a sound that tore the air sounded,

Pasasasa… .

Her tightly pulled-up blonde hair falls down in a futile manner. He simply brushed against something, and his headdress was shattered. Of course, Eldora’s steps also stopped abruptly.

“… Remiel.”

Eldora looks back in disbelief, as if she can’t believe it. The angel, or rather Remiel, is staring blankly with an expressionless face.

“I’m sorry, but I think it would be better to postpone our plans to go out today.”

“I said I would go back.”

“no? I can’t go back. Because I didn’t give permission.”

“… allow?”

Pap tteuk!

The noise of teeth grinding is eerie. But Remiel chuckled, clicked his tongue and stretched.

“Fuyu, I can’t blame Gabriel-sama like this. I wondered why the Northern Continent, managed by the Four Great Angels, was so swayed by Kim Soo-hyun… . Hehehe.”

“Kim Soohyun?”

“Oh, there is. He is a user active in the Northern Continent and is a bit of a funny person. “Just because we’re strong and have achieved some results, they look down on us?”

“… … .”

The angel smiled brightly, then narrowed his eyes and pointed at the other person.

“Exactly, just like you.”

“… what?”

Eldora’s eyebrows twitched. Eventually, the tightly tied white cloth loosens, revealing the majesty of Excalibur, emitting brilliant light. But Remiel just laughed as if it was absurd.

“Put the knife in. “In principle, we can’t harm you, but this situation is a little different.”

“I said I would go back.”

Perfect!

Suddenly, Remiel flicked his hand. Then, the portal that had been created a moment ago disappeared without a trace. The passage to the summoning room has disappeared.

“You keep saying the same thing. User, Eldora Cornelius? “You can’t go back.”

“What are you planning to do with me?”

Eldora asked in a slightly sad, yet hostile tone. Remiel shrugged her shoulders.

“Don’t worry. I just need to have a serious talk. You said that in principle we cannot intentionally harm you, right? When work is over, I will be able to return safely… . ah.”

And as if remembering what I heard earlier, he opens his mouth coldly.

“Of course, it may depend on your answer.”

Suddenly, Eldora almost burst into tears. However, she barely swallows and aims her tightly held Excalibur at her opponent. Remiel shook his head in awe.

“Didn’t I tell you to put the knife in? Please note, this is your final warning.”

“I, too, will speak for the last time.”

“Geez, I don’t plan on saying it again.”

“Use the portal right now… !”

At that time, Remiel suddenly stood up in the air, and Eldora felt an enormous force coming from all directions.

no. When he felt it, Excalibur had already left his hand, and his body was shaking greatly. In the end, he was unable to keep his balance and rolled over violently.

When he barely raised his upper body, he saw Remiel looking down at him from the air, holding Excalibur.

“I said the warning was the last, right?”

Eldora chewed her mouth to the point where blood came out in a mocking voice as if she were arrogant.

finished.

Now that we’ve come this far, there’s nothing more to look forward to.

He was truly a piece of chess and a puppet.

We are nothing more or less to them.

Eldora thought so,

“I am.”

Like a tragic heroine in a drama, she sat down and quietly opened her mouth.

“I hate you guys so much.”

For a split second, my arm stopped for just a moment.

But the next moment, Eldora suddenly threw away the bag she was carrying. As she threw it with all her might, the contents of the bag flew out and rolled on the ground.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

To be more precise, several boxes were bouncing around the entrance and bouncing around on the floor. That is, with the entrance open upon impact.

It was then.

“huh? This… .”

When I checked earlier, it was just an ordinary monster summoning box. It was just an insignificant object without any strange energy.

okay. I’m sure it was.

When Remiel tilted his head and tried to stretch out his hand, a dark energy suddenly erupted from each box.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Then, with no time to do anything, an unusual flow spread in all directions. The vibrations quickly took over the heavens and made the space noisy. As the box begins to spin, a strong wind suddenly arises and begins to sweep everywhere.

“Hey, this! Uh, what happened?”

“this… ! We have to stop it first… !”

“… ah? Why doesn’t it work… ?”

“for a moment. This power… .”

Amidst the angels’ murmuring, Remiel sensed something and roared.

“dare! “What nonsense!”

However, before Remiel can take any action, an enormous and unfathomable energy suddenly begins to materialize. A darkness so great that it can easily be trampled by the power of an angel. The moment I felt that, not only Remiel, but no one else could move carelessly.

And in the next moment, a total of three things happened sequentially but almost without a break.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The vibrations become more severe, and a huge black magic formation appears from somewhere.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Angels float in all directions and are forcibly drawn into the magic camp,

Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!

The black jinn that absorbed the angel spits out darkness once more, as if going berserk.

“Ouch!”

Remiel instinctively retched from that ominous power, but then without realizing it, he screamed. Things that were thought to be darkness slowly merge and take shape.

– here.

– well. I don’t think it’s the summoning room that Satan spoke of… .

And then I hear an insidious and dark conversation.

– Still, I think you can fully exert your power?

– Then it means that it is a space connected to the summoning room. Anyway, you did a really good job.

The moment he heard the last conversation, Remiel’s mouth opened blankly.

Eldora, still sitting down, just looks on with pitiful eyes. There is no sign of any disturbance. She didn’t want to do this, but it was like she knew it would happen.

The moment our eyes met, a hypothesis flashed through my mind.

“Eldora, no way!”

The angel’s eyes widen to the size of a flower lantern.

“Hands with the devil… !”

Those words were Remiel’s last words.

because.

Quang!

A black hand flew from somewhere like a beam of light, and not only tore off the wings, but also shattered the head.

Meanwhile, at the same time.

“Hehehe! Heeheeheehee!”

Inside a room in the Blue Palace, strange laughter that could not be considered human was constantly breaking out.

“Ugh, huh huh!”

If someone saw the room, they would probably be very surprised.

“Ugh, huh? Hahaha!”

Aside from the messily destroyed scenery, anyone who sees a black-haired woman rolling around frantically on the messy floor would feel an incredibly eerie feeling.

at that time.

“Kihihihi… . “It’s done, it’s done!”

The woman who was pounding her fists until the ground caved in suddenly giggled and lay down. As she looks up at the ceiling, her eyes flash with an indescribable madness.

“Is this what you wanted? Is this what you wanted? huh?”

It’s clearly an empty room.

“Hey, that’s fun. huh. As you said, it’s definitely a lot of fun. “Kikikik, kikikiki!”

However, the woman, or rather Thanatos, spoke in a friendly manner as if someone was next to her.

“You arrogant bastard. Well, your colleague… . no. Should I call it my army now? Heeheeheehee!”

The moment she spoke mockingly, the woman’s expression suddenly changed. For a moment, her bitter expression became evident, and then the corners of her mouth turned up. She laughs as the tears around her reach below her earlobes and leave her.

“Ahahahahahaha!”

The sight of him laughing as if he could barely breathe appears frivolous at first glance, but has a bizarre feel to it.

… To the point where it can no longer be considered Satan.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

I did it… .

It’s been a long time since I felt like I was completely white.

Anyway, Episode 5 is finally over. ㅜ.ㅠ

Soohyun. I really missed you… .

fantasy,
