Episode 306. Into the Secret (8)
The wind that cuts through your flesh,
The endless fields of snow,
I can’t see anything.
As if it never happened from the beginning.
“Kill the owner of the holy sword and stop their plan. “If this had really come true, a different order might have been established in the world today.”
All I can see is the owner of the holy sword whose neck I stabbed and killed.
Before I knew it, the blood that had covered my face had been completely wiped away.
“But the past that has already passed does not change. I can’t get rid of it. So, you must accept it with a solemn heart.”
“Why did you show me this?”
“Would you say it’s to enlighten you? Even if you find out God’s secret, nothing will change.”
Anastasia made a big gesture toward the air.
Then, a different scene unfolded around the area covered with a black curtain.
It was another place in Pruina where a familiar snowstorm raged.
There were dark elves everywhere, and in the center of it all was Kayram, bleeding and gasping for breath.
And in front of that,
“This is a real memory of the past.”
Another Anastasia was aiming the holy sword at Kayram.
In perfect condition, without any scratches.
-deeply
Soon, the holy sword’s merciless strike pierced Kayram’s heart.
Kayram let out a single scream and fell helplessly, and Anastasia glared at her in front of her.
It was a very unpleasant sight for me.
-Whoa!
Then suddenly a strong gust of wind blew across the sky.
At the center of the gust of wind was a pure white dragon with its wings wide open.
It was Marian, Pruina’s guardian dragon.
“I wonder if the bitter cold will freeze everything… … .”
When she recited the spell, a huge vortex of magical power appeared in an instant, creating an even stronger snowstorm.
The blizzard soon spread rapidly throughout the surrounding area, freezing everything.
The scope included the dark elves and the owner of the holy sword.
They froze helplessly, unable to resist, and were soon buried in the snow.
“If those dark elves had spread throughout the human world, there would definitely have been great chaos. But I didn’t. “What do you think was the reason?”
As soon as she asked the question, the surrounding scene changed again.
An unfamiliar temple with dazzling brilliance above the white clouds.
There were two familiar beings inside.
Lumendel, the god of light.
and Aer, the god of black fog.
They were facing each other with a small table between them.
“I will step down.”
Aer was the first to speak.
“Are you serious?”
“I didn’t come to you to make jokes. Either establish order for yourself or expel me from the God Realm, do as you please. “I won’t mind.”
Rummendel narrowed his eyes as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Why have you changed your mind now?”
“Of course it’s because of you. It is an immutable law that you and I cannot coexist. But there is no reason for humans to suffer because of that.”
“So, aren’t they creatures? If it weren’t for us, they wouldn’t have existed in the first place. You sacrifice yourself just to protect creation. “How foolish, Aer.”
“It is not a creature. “He’s human.”
Aer’s eyes were firm.
“The only difference between us is that we have more power. You see humans simply as beings to dominate. However, I feel a sense of kinship with humans.”
“This is why I can’t be with you, Aer.”
Rummendel shook his head with an expression of disgust.
“I’m not saying I’m just going to back down.”
Aer paid no heed and continued speaking calmly.
“Are you willing to put any conditions on it?”
“Yes. It is good to define myself as an evil being in a world centered around you. However, erase from the minds of humans everything that you and I have done before.”
Rummendel’s eyebrows narrowed again.
“Are you asking me to seal the memories of creatures?”
“Yes.”
“Why should I do such a bothersome thing? Honestly, I have absolutely no reason to do business with you right now. Even if you don’t lower your tail like this, I’ve already prepared to destroy everything you have.”
“That’s why I’m proposing it. “Finish it here before anything more troublesome happens.”
Aer’s eyes filled with venom for a moment.
“I think they were planning to use the existence of the Dark Elf to cause chaos in the human world and point out me as the instigator, but I will not stand by and watch that happen.”
“Dark elf? What is that? “I don’t know anything about that.”
Rummendel raised the corners of his mouth and held out his flippers.
“okay? Then it wouldn’t matter if I let other gods know about those beings, right?”
“… … “It’s none of my business.”
He didn’t answer right away, but paused for about a second.

“I’m glad it doesn’t concern you. She had already asked the goddess Aquanis to take care of them. They would all be buried under the Pruinae ice cap by now. Including the holy sword and its owner.”
-bang!
Rummendel, who had been silent, suddenly kicked off the table and stood up.
“Why are you so excited? “Didn’t I say it had nothing to do with you?”
“… … !”
“Pruina is a land protected by a dragon that has received the grace of the water goddess. The land is being polluted by an unknown entity, so isn’t it right for her to clean it up? By the way, my child was also there.”
When it comes to his child, you probably mean Kayram.
Unlike before, when he was relaxed, Rumendel’s face was full of anger.
“I won’t say more, Rumendel. “End it here.”
“Aer… … !”
“You want to completely erase me from this world. But to do that, you too will have to take fatal damage! “I will hold on to you until the end, and on the day I disappear, you too will not be whole!”
The two gods stared at each other in silence for a long time.
While Rummendel gritted his teeth as if he was going to explode at any moment, Aer maintained a restrained expression.
“If you are kicked out of the human world, don’t install anything and live like a dead rat! On the day when you have other thoughts and try to confront me again… … .”
In the end, Rummendel, who spoke first,
“I will erase everything related to you!”
A final warning was delivered to Aer.
“As the God of the Black Mist, I swear.”
However, Aer did not give in to this and spoke with his lips twitching.
“At least I won’t have to go out myself.”
With those words, a black fog rose around Aer’s body, and soon he disappeared, engulfed in the fog.
“The memories end here!”
The area around the fierce voices and applause was once again colored by a black curtain.
“How do you feel after confirming God’s secret?”
It was so absurd that it made no sense.
I’m asking how you feel about that childish and ridiculous sight.
In the end, they made an ugly agreement in order to cause less damage to each other, and made it grandiosely a secret.
On the other hand, it may be that it is a secret.
Originally, secrets meant the dirty details of people that they did not want others to know.
“I guess you were too impressed? “You can’t speak?”
“What are you?”
“Me? There is nothing to say about it. “If I had to explain it, would you say it’s like a protection measure for intruders like you who come to reveal God’s secrets?”
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared from her body.
It was only a brief flash of light, but in that moment, Anastasia disappeared.
Instead, someone new appeared in that place.
“It was definitely inside the body of someone who looked like this.”
It was none other than Hastia.
Of course, it will not be the real Hastia, but a fake with the same exterior appearance.
But it was in her body?
The moment I heard those words, I immediately realized what this strange being was.
“You are the god’s protection.”
She just smiled broadly without answering.
I had no idea that he existed as a living person like this.
“I have only two missions given to me by the Supreme Being. First, it shows everything an intruder might be curious about! “It looks like you’ve done this successfully, right?”
Light emanated from her body again, blocking my vision once again.
I guess he changed his appearance again to stimulate me.
“This is the second one.”
“… … !”
I will admit it.
This time it really stimulated me.
The being standing before my eyes right now was neither a human nor an elf.
A devil in human form.
It was Eshel Wert.
“Lead the intruder into an abyss of despair from which he can never escape.”
-Wiggle
Suddenly, I felt something moving under my feet and being stepped on.
The moment I was startled and immediately took a step back,
-Sooook
Something unknown came out from below.
It was a hand.
It was very disgusting to see red blood stains everywhere.
“Sian Bert… … .”
Following the hand, someone’s face also came out.
Blood-red fluid ran down his entire face, as if he were watching melting candle wax.
But, this face.
It feels familiar somehow.
It’s definitely a face I know.
“Sian Bert!!!”
A monster covered in blood howled like crazy at me.
The cry was full of resentment and grief.
It’s definitely true.
This guy is Boris Lehelm.
He is the owner of the Bible whom I killed and sent to the bottom of the abyss.
-Sooook
Bloody hands and faces emerged one after another from other places as well.
They were never unfamiliar faces to me.
Knight Cecilia, Wizard Charon, Saint Nephrodite,
Besides that, many of the ghosts of hell that I had killed and executed were waving their arms around to grab me.
As if they were trying to drag me into the abyss they were in.
“Resist and struggle. But that won’t change anything.”
The guy with the devil’s face looked at me with satisfaction and said.
“Stop falling into the abyss. Sian Berth.”
* * *
(Do what you must, Hastia.)
(This is for the future of the clan!)
(I have to protect you all!)
Their voices ringing ceaselessly in my dizzy mind.
Hastia closed her eyes and ears in pain and ignored the sound.
But the more she did, the closer the voices came and tormented her.
‘stop! Please stop!’
Hastia pleaded for the interference to stop, but the voice did not stop and continued to harass her more persistently.
‘I don’t know.’
Still, I had doubts.
‘What is this for the clan?’
What on earth does he have to do for his clan?
What should I do and what should I not do?
‘I want to escape now!’
In a situation where everything was full of questions, she wanted to escape now.
– Jump up
‘… … !’
As soon as her closed eyes opened, Hastia took a deep breath.
For a moment, I lost my mind.
She quickly looked around and realized what was happening.
Right in front of Arbor, a tree dedicated to the gods.
Beside him, Cian, who had been caught in the light a moment ago, was lying down.
‘Sian!’
I shook his body hastily, but he didn’t wake up.
It seemed like I hadn’t gotten out of the memory yet.
‘Safe… … ‘Did you do it?’
Could it be that something wrong happened?
There was no sign of life on Xian’s face, as if it were a dead body.
Hastia’s heart naturally grew anxious.
-Kugugung
At that moment, a loud roar suddenly sounded and vibration occurred in the space.
Hastia, startled, turned her gaze to where the Arbor tree was.
-Whoa!
An Arbor tree that emits an unidentifiable golden light.
Hastia gazed deeply at the light of the tree, as if she were fascinated by it.
-Tap-tap-tap
At that time, a voice calling her rang out from behind along with the sound of multiple footsteps.
“Hastia!!”
Hastia, attracted by the sound, turned her head again.
When he quickly came to his senses and looked ahead, he saw a large group of elves coming towards him.
At the forefront was Elder Elfuris.
