Laplace, who was an extraordinary witch from birth, had thought deeply about the interesting topic of ‘knowledge’.
“My faithful servant. It’s Horetta. Have you ever thought about it? “Why was a fragile species called humans able to stand at the pinnacle of ecology?”
In response to Laplace’s question, Horetta, who looked like a young boy, shook his head with a charming smile typical of an incubus.
“That’s a difficult question. Still, although humans are weak, don’t they have a unique power of unity?”
“… … Hmm, unity. It’s Horetta. “In the dimension I lived in, there was a colony of giant ants.”
Bug-type monsters did not only exist in Laplace’s dimension. A level 4 boss in the form of a bee was discovered on Earth, and Spirit Walkers, undead who share the ‘spirit’, also appeared.
“The ants, which were bigger than bears, moved as one body according to the queen ant’s hormones. No matter how good the unity of humans is, can it be compared to that? “If unity was everything, my dimension would become a world of ants.”
“Oh, my thoughts were short. “Then isn’t it also knowledge?”
“I see we have come to a similar answer. However, if knowledge was everything, humans with short lives would not be able to follow immortal witches and elves like me.”
As Laplace said, learning takes time. How can a human’s short life compare to an elf with a lifespan of over a thousand years and an immortal witch?
Horetta, holding her chin cutely, made a hmm sound and pondered. Although she looks young, Horetta is an incubus who has lived for over 100 years. It was a time when an ordinary person’s life would have come to an end.
Just doing Horetta right now will give you this much time. How was it possible for humanity to become the pinnacle of the species in so many dimensions in its short life?
“Aren’t humans far more numerous than elves? So there will be a lot of knowledge you can gain.”
“It’s still a half-answer. “No matter how many humans there are, will they be able to compare to the orcs, who have excellent reproductive capabilities?”
After hearing Laplace’s words, Horetta couldn’t understand them even more.
“Listening to what the master said, it is clear that humans have no strengths… “It seems like a species that is lacking in some way.”
Finally, after a long period of deliberation, Horetta expressed her impressions, and Laplace solemnly nodded.
“okay. You were right. “That deficiency is the strength of humanity.”
And that sentiment was correct.
“Humans are weaker than other races, so they made weapons and honed their skills to survive in order to survive.”
As Laplace said, humanity has never had an outstanding history at any level from the beginning.
To make up for his lack of combat power, he honed his sword skills and mana, which was considered the exclusive property of dragons, and became a wizard.
So what about knowledge?
“I dedicate my life to exploring the lack of knowledge. “I will leave this knowledge to future generations so that it does not disappear when I reach the end of my short life.”
They don’t have a huge lifespan like elves.
Although they are not born with advanced knowledge like dragons, they burn with passion and accumulate knowledge during their short lives, and when the flame goes out, they spread the spark to the next generation.
“As time passes, that knowledge is spread to countless people, and each time it is passed on, it is transformed and reborn. “It spreads out on the same branch, but no one knows what will bloom at the end.”
Because there is a deficiency.
Because we lack it, we crave it even more.
“The strength of humanity is a deficiency, and it is the result of the desire to become better from that deficiency. “That greed decapitates a mighty dragon and even destroys the witch’s fortress-like castle.”
He was a powerful boss who classified all witches, including Laplace, the witch of plague, and the witch of winter, as level 7.
It was a being with tremendous combat power that could not even be seen except from the upper floors of the tower.
“I’m only a part-timer, but I remember it clearly. “How my head fell off.”
Who would have imagined?
Witches met death at the hands of humans whom they thought were mere creatures.
“Witches, including me, realized this the moment they were about to die. “We were arrogant.”
The knight of destruction was a hero of the continent. He was born with the greatest talent among mankind and absorbed all of the Holy King’s skills and knowledge over a period of ten years.
“Do you understand? “Human potential is truly infinite.”
No matter what level it is, as long as humanity has deficiencies and the desire to improve remains alive, such monsters are bound to be born.
“As expected, you are the master. This Horetta. Although it is only a short insight, I completely understand what the master said.”
Horetta was Laplace’s favorite incubus because he was smart but humble.
“Horetta. You are a smart kid. “Then it’s the last question.”
The fact that Laplace so kindly explained it himself was proof that he recognized Horetta that much.
However, it was not easy to infer the correct answer from the clues given so far.
“… … Then the more you block it, the more you block it. To keep humanity under my feet forever, growing stronger as deficiencies arise. What method did Morgan choose?”
No matter how clever Horetta was as an incubus, the last problem was especially difficult.
Morgan, a dreamy witch whose life was stolen by humans, began to dream.
He wanted to forever conquer humanity, which has infinite potential, which the more it lacks, the more it desires, and the more it is oppressed, the more strongly it rebels.
I wanted to achieve now the dream that I could not achieve even after communicating with the demons.
So what is the method?
“As is the case with history at any level… … . “Isn’t eternity impossible, since a tyrant is bound to collapse under the backlash of a stronger traitor?”
“Then what if you do it without anyone knowing? If you don’t know if you are oppressed or if you don’t know if you are dominated. There will be no lack and there will be no desire. Just a fake day. “I guess I’ll just happily continue living a lie.”
Horetta was horrified when she heard Laplace’s words. Morgan is a dream witch who can control dreams. With her power, wouldn’t she be able to make everyone dream the same dream, a false dream?
“You, Horetta, the incubus, know the horror of dreams. “Dreams feel like a moment of sleep, but they are actually much deeper and deeper.”
If Morgan, the witch of dreams, wishes, one second of reality can become an eternity. Eternity here did not refer to one person’s life. It meant a lifetime in which all living beings would remain unaware for eternity.
An eternity where not even death or happiness is allowed under Morgan’s control.
“Control of dreams is more frightening than oppression of the body. “It is more cruel than the misery of reality.”
Since you don’t even know you’re dreaming, you can’t even wake up. He forgets who he is and just repeats the life that Morgan has set for him. Can we really call that life?
“… … Horetta. I do not agree with Morgan’s wishes. Eternity is a boring word. “Life is noble because there is death.”
Laplace is a plague witch who cycles life and death. How can we sympathize with Morgan’s idea of dreaming of eternity? As her own master declared in a firm voice: Horetta got down on her knees and nodded her head.
“That is the war that Laplace predicted. This Horetta. understand. Then, Sumire-sama uses the power lent to her by Laplace-sama to defeat Morgan… … .”
The power of the witch Laplace could easily be called the ultimate form of black magic. Of course, Sumire is not yet able to utilize all of that power, but that was also the case for Morgan.
No matter how much memory remained, there were many differences between Shin Hayun’s body and Morgan’s body.
That’s why Horetta thought.
If Sumire resembles Laplace so much, wouldn’t she be able to defeat Shin Hayun, the reincarnation who looks nothing like him?
But Laplace shook his head resolutely.
“Sumire can’t beat Shin Hayun. No… … “It would be more appropriate to say that I, Laplace, cannot defeat Morgan.”
Laplace did not underestimate Sumire. If Shin Hayoon really had Morgan’s memories, it was a problem of her innate personality.

“Morgan has the greatest needs and the strongest desires among the witches.”
To resolve that deficiency and be recognized. To be on top of everyone. In both his past life and his current life, Morgan never stopped.
“okay. Morgan is not a witch. She is close to human. “Until that desire comes true, Morgan’s flame will never go out.”
It was going to keep burning until it burned everything and reduced it to ashes.
“Then Sumire-sama… … .”
“You will be threatened. Because Sumire has me by her side who knows the truth. “If Morgan regains his strength, I will never remain silent.”
As Laplace said, this is the moment when Morgan’s plan comes true. Due to his personality, there was no way Morgan would leave the possibility of becoming dangerous. The next targets were clearly Sumire and Laplace.
“I’ll say it again, dreams are a scary force. Or leave you in an eternal dream. “It can pollute the mind.”
“Then we too… … .”
As Horetta said, Laplace was a part of Sumire’s body, and Horetta was a minion who embodied the power of that part.
If the spirit of Sumire, the body, was polluted, this peaceful castle life was like a sand castle on the beach that would collapse along with it.
“Are you saying that if Sumire-sama falls into danger, she could disappear together?”
As Horetta looked around the castle with a worried face, Laplace laughed helplessly.
“Are you afraid of disappearing? I’m sorry. I’m not worried about that. I am already just an illusion left behind by the original… … . “There is no difference whether you have it or not.”
Pot-
Laplace spread his fan and covered half of his face. Laplace’s eyes, revealed above the fan, were smiling, but his voice was quiet somewhere.
“But Sumire is different. Sumire’s life is a clear reality. “Even though she resembles my original, she is not a witch, just a girl, and she lives a very normal and happy life.”
Sumire, like Laplace, was not criticized as a plague witch as soon as she was born, and she did not drive death and destroy the continent.
I was living with a simple dream of just being with the person I like.
Maybe that’s it.
What Laplace so desperately wanted… … .
“… … “I hope that child achieves what he wants and continues to live a peaceful life.”
After speaking, Laplace folded his fan. Her expression, now revealed, was as relaxed as usual, but Horetta seemed to have seen a hidden side of Laplace.
“… … All right. master. “We will all prepare for war.”
grasp!
Horetta, who went to the window, opened the window and shouted loudly, as if she had become a warrior in battle.
“Let’s all strengthen ourselves for the coming war!”
Watching Horetta from below the castle are Sumire’s familiars, the undead army.
“of course! “It is our job to serve our master!”
Among them was Lilith, a succubus.
“Master, your enemy. kill… … .”
There was also a Death Knight who was reborn as a Dullahan.
“Ta, da, ta, just!”
“Grrrrr… … .”
There were skeletons that had been with us from the beginning and ghouls that had died and come back to life several times.
Tung-
The moment when everyone strengthened their resolve for Sumire. A new unknown creature has been summoned to this area, where only Sumire’s summons can enter.
Saaa-
A monster whose size is so enormous that it borders a castle, and whose mana cannot be compared to that of all other familiars combined.
Laplace, who was drinking tea with a happy expression, looked down with a bewildered expression upon the appearance of the Bone Dragon, who had been given a new name, [Evil Dragon Bahamut].
“What is that… … .”
