797.
Shh …
It rained.
Time is a tricky thing.
Happy and joyful.
Sad and unfortunate things.
Most things fade over time.
But there are feelings and memories that do not change with time.
For Leah, the rain that was falling now was like that.
Just before closing his eyes as King Lisinas of Wisdom.
Black rain was falling from the sky just like it was now.
“Unpleasant.”
Leah muttered softly.
Everything was unpleasant now.
Black rain that falls from the sky and devours life.
The Giant King has shown up again.
And most importantly, the thought of Erebos in the guise of Kyle was the most unpleasant.
“Leah! Geass has appeared again! What should I do?!”
“Surely even if I kill the Giant King, he will keep coming back to life?!”
Karwa and Balhar asked urgently.
The King of Giants who appears infinitely.
Common sense tells you that this is impossible.
But Karwa and Balhar could not help but keep that impossible task in mind.
The opponent is none other than the primordial evil known as the Flame of Disaster.
He is the main culprit who brought the world to the brink of destruction.
Literally the worst enemy since the world existed.
These two people know better than anyone that there is a being that will bring disaster beyond anything you can imagine.
Because they were crushed by that disaster, they had no choice but to close their eyes and pass the burden on to their close friend.
Leah said in response to the two people’s questions.
“If you look at the state of Geass… … . That’s Geass during the Battle of Guardsron.”
Karthus and Balhar grimaced at Leah’s words.
Guardsron Battle.
At that time, while the King of Wisdom, the Progenitor of the Nebula, and the Hero of the Beginning were away from Gadthrone, the Giant King Giath led his legions and invaded on a large scale.
At that time, Dweno and Aron, who were guarding the Garthron, succeeded in repelling the Giant King’s army.
Guardsron also suffered considerable damage, but considering their power at the time, Guardsron’s victory was nothing short of a miracle.
“It wouldn’t be difficult to defeat the Geass of that era.”
Balhar narrowed his eyes.
The legion commander is a completed being.
If we look at it purely in terms of power, the Geass of that time that had the power may have been more powerful than the one now.
‘But fighting power is not determined by pure strength alone.’
Just as great heroes have gone through countless experiences during times of disaster and sublimated them into their own strength.
The same goes for legion commanders.
They too must have had countless experiences as fearful disasters, not only during the Age of Disaster but also during the Age of Heroes that followed.
What was in the past is just what was in the past.
These are great heroes who already know the strategy to defeat past Geass.
Therefore, it was not difficult for the great heroes to defeat an enemy they had defeated once again.
‘Besides, I’m not even leading the legion right now, and there are three of us.’
but…….
“I clearly knocked it down earlier, but why did it come back to life?”
Leah said in response to Kar’s question.
“Hero Records.”
“what?”
“It seems that the Erebos ideology has summoned the past Giant King from the Hero Records.”
“Is that possible?”
“This phenomenon must have occurred because it was possible. The only link between the past and the present here is the Hero Record that he’s holding.”
That was the wisdom of the one who had the title of King of Wisdom.
“Although he is called the primordial evil, Erebos is an evil god. In essence, he is no different from a god.”
Leah’s eyes narrowed.
“Hero Records are objects created by the gods, so it wouldn’t be strange if we could exert influence over them.”
“So, is this saying that Erebos is modifying the Hero Records to summon his past subordinates?”
“I don’t know. Is it a modified Hero Record… … or is it the original Hero Record’s ability?”
Leah fiddled with her hands.
“But one thing is certain. If we defeat that Giant King, Erebos’s ideology will no longer be able to summon Geass.”
“Why?”
“The bastard’s power is weaker than before I summoned Giath.”
“Huh?”
“It’s clear that pulling out past legion commanders from the hero records is a huge drain on power.”
“Karga said with a cool and accurate understanding of the situation.

“Wow… … . It was just like the old Risinas.”
Leah gave a stinging look.
“Leah, not Lisinas.”
“bout.”
Karga covered his mouth urgently.
“You’re definitely like your old self. That somewhat absent-minded look has completely disappeared.”
Balhar slung Battle Axe over his shoulder.
“Is it because it’s related to Kyle?”
“… … I absolutely cannot tolerate that.”
“You’re not the only one who can’t tolerate it.”
Balhar looked at the thought of Erebos in the form of Kyle with a cold expression.
“That guy insulting Kyle is something neither I nor Kardo can tolerate.”
Gooooooooo-
Golden flames flowed from Balhar’s body.
Leah opened her eyes wide when she saw that.
“Let me handle that myself.”
Balhar descended to the ground.
Along with that, the golden flames that Balhar was spewing out became even more intense.
“Foot… … Har?”
Leah looked at Balhar’s back with surprised eyes.
Even stronger flames erupted from Balhar’s body as he landed on the ground.
‘In my previous life, I hardly ever liked myself.’
Because of the power that I couldn’t handle as a child.
Because I couldn’t keep anything after that.
Because of my weakness, I can’t do anything but pass it on at the last moment.
The dwarf named Dweno could not love himself like that.
‘You’re the first person to hate yourself more than I do, Kyle.’
At least Dwenno loved this world.
I took care of myself because I loved this world.
That’s why I risked everything to protect this world.
But Kyle, whose life itself had already become ashen, could not understand why he had endured hardships and tried to protect the world.
‘I still can’t understand you. What made you so unyielding?’
Thump- thump-
Whoosh whoosh-
‘But I know this one fact.’
The king of wisdom saved the world for the people.
A person chosen by fate.
He was the savior who would save the world in a time of crisis.
The progenitor of the nebula saved the world while dreaming of endless possibilities.
Because this world was a possibility in itself for her.
The brave man saved the world, dreaming of a peaceful world he had never seen before.
And he saved the world for a beautiful world.
‘The fact that you saved the world for us.’
And he is enjoying the world in which he has been saved.
‘So I decided to try to like myself.’
The golden flame was a curse to Dweno.
A symbol of destruction that burns everything.
He became obsessed with beauty because he hated his own existence, which only brought destruction.
Even until his death, Dwenno’s heart, which hated his own flame, did not change.
I just used it because I needed it.
‘I don’t plan on ever losing it.’
Whoosh whoosh-
‘This world you saved.’
Gooooooo-!
The flames spewed out by Dweno soon took the shape of a huge giant.
‘So I won’t look back on you, 5000 years ago.’
Accepted the past and myself as they were.
And I went forward without looking back.
I don’t do any wandering.
The hero of the beginning is no more.
Accept that fact and forge your own path.
Declaring himself the protector of the world.
‘Because that would be the way to protect you, the one who passed this world on to future generations.’
Dwenno reached out to areas he had not been able to reach in his previous life.
The giant made of golden flames grew bigger and bigger.
The body soon became larger than that of the Giant King.
Cheeeeeeek-!
The surroundings brightened as if the sun had risen in the dark night.
The black rain evaporates.
The fragments of the past brought about by Erebos’s thoughts influencing the Hero Records have disappeared without a trace.
“Fragments of the past can no longer stop me.”
Balhar raised his hand.
The giant raised his hand in response.
“5000 years ago, you burned me to death.”
A golden light flashed in Dwenno’s eyes.
“In this life… … . I will burn you to death.”
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
The Flame Giant’s fist struck Geass like a hammer.
The thoughts of Geass and Erebos evaporated without a trace.
Whoosh whoosh-
Golden flames scatter.
Balhar, with his arms crossed, glanced back at his friends who had surprised expressions on their faces.
‘It’s okay to wander. That’s natural.’
But that was only for a moment.
Balhar looked at Mount Erdienne.
‘But I won’t be waiting.’
Balhar looked ahead.
‘So follow me quickly.’
5000 years ago, he was the one who supported his friends from behind, but now it is different.
Just like Lisinas did 5000 years ago.
Now it’s your turn to lead.
Balhar muttered softly.
“Don’t get caught up in the past. It doesn’t suit you.”
***
“Ohhh… … . It’s really me. To think of such magic.”
Rune was amazed at the magic Leo had shown her.
On the desk were papers with countless magical recipes written on them.
Rune confirmed those spells at an incredible speed.
Leo, who was looking at the rune, said.
“you.”
“huh?”
“There was no development at all?”
Rune’s face turned bright red at Leo’s words.
“What! What! What!”
“No. It’s shocking. The world’s greatest Luna Rubinance has made no progress at all.”
Leo made a pitiful expression.
“Compared to our Runia and Eiran, their growth is slow.”
“Huh! If you’re so good at guiding, why don’t you just lead? Like Chelsea and Iliana.”
Leo said as Rune snorted.
“No. That won’t work.”
“huh?”
“That’s not my role. It’s your role.”
“… … .”
At Leo’s words, Rune put down her magic spell.
“Kyle.”
“why?”
“You… … are going back… … .”
bang-!
“Leo! Breaking news! Breaking news!”
Then the door opened and a knife came in.
The place where Leo and Rune are currently staying is a private room in an inn run by Karl.
Leo, an outsider, could not continue to stay in Lumerun, so he left Lumerun the morning after meeting Rune.
Rune followed Leo like that.
“what’s the matter?”
Rune looked at the sword with a fresh face.
The sword scratched the ball in response to such a rune.
“Um… … Did I interrupt your good time?”
“I don’t have anything to do with that playboy.”
Rune snorted.
“Why am I a womanizer?”
“I don’t know. A guy who goes around beating up women is an enemy of women.”
Leo clicked his tongue at the sharp rune’s reaction.
“So. What’s the breaking news?”
“Yeah! Something strange has happened in the kingdom of Delran in the western part of the continent!”
“… …Delran?”
Leo’s face hardened.
“Yes. It seems that a pillar of black flame was sighted in the territory of Marquis Plov of Delan!”
Rune’s face hardened at the sword’s words.
A pillar of black flames.
You can’t not know unless you know what it is.
Leo stood up from his seat.
‘A piece of Erebos was sealed in the Plov territory.’
The history of this world line is one in which one was not born.
‘The world line was split because other guys were reincarnated. The events that occurred were also distorted.’
The Demon Queen and the Giant King were not defeated.
Because the powerful restraining force of being a reincarnated great hero made their movements more cautious.
Berkia was not toyed with by the Commander King.
If Leo were alone, I wouldn’t know.
Knowing of the existence of the great heroes, it would have been difficult for the Commander to revive Berkia from the dead.
‘Summoning a hero like Berkia as a corpse would be a huge blow to the Lord of the Underworld.’
There is no way the Commander-in-Chief would do something that would only waste his strength without causing any damage.
‘And the fragments of Erebos were not resurrected.’
But this is a story of a different dimension from the one where one does not exist in the world line.
He conquered Erebos 5000 years ago.
After the first piece was resurrected 3000 years ago, two more pieces were resurrected during Leo’s time.
‘… … Are you opening your eyes now?’
Leo clicked his tongue.
“Let’s go, Rune.”
“I’ll get it ready right away.”
“No, I have to go right now.”
“huh?”
Rune’s eyes widened.
“The black flame pillars of the Plov domain are not simply a fragment of Erebos’ power.”
“then?”
“The second piece of Erebos has been resurrected.”
“what?”
Rune and Carl’s faces were filled with horror.
