Episode 314. The world he created (1)
“Um, what is that?”
Humans feel the greatest fear when they face an unknown fear that they have never encountered before.
That was exactly the feeling of the knights who had gathered to protect the northern walls of Jurn.
“Well, no matter who looks at you, you’re not a human, right? Is it an elf? Or a demon?”
“I guess I’m neither?”
“This is not the time to panic! Look at their eyes! Just by looking at it, you can see they’re aiming for this place!”
Currently, the empire’s princess, Arin Sebellus, is located in Jurun.
As he was the most important person in the empire, the approach of those unknown beings had to be prevented.

The dark elves finally left their seats and started running toward the castle gate.
“Oh, here it comes!”
The knights formed a defensive line with spears and shields in order to somehow stop them.
Then the dark elf in the lead suddenly stretched out his hand towards the knights,
-Wooow.
Following the mana manifestation, a small magic circle was created.
“They use magic!”
They tried to react late, but a large ice meteorite had already appeared above the knights’ heads.
“Everyone, avoid it!”
The ranks of the knights collapsed in an instant.
-thud!
Soon there was a tremendous roar, and waves of shock spread throughout the surroundings.
The knights who instinctively closed their eyes just before the shadow of death struck them soon realized that they were alive and carefully opened their eyes.
Above their heads was a flat sheet of blue ice, protecting them from the meteorite.
“I lived, I lived!”
For a moment I was relieved to have survived,
“Everyone, step back!”
When an urgent woman’s voice was heard from somewhere, the knights hurriedly evacuated from the ice meteorite.
Soon the curtain disappeared and the ice meteorite fell back to the ground.
-thud!
There was another roar and a wave of shock.
The dark elves all turned their attention towards the person who was interfering with their work.
“The wrath of the great sea will devour disaster!”
However, following the loud spell, a huge torrent rushed in front of their eyes.
The dark elves who were swept away by the water continued to resist, struggling to escape.
“Frozen!”
As freezing magic was cast one after another, the torrent instantly froze.
The effects of the freezing extended to the dark elves.
“… … ?”
The knights didn’t know what was going on, so they just blinked.
-dump
The woman, losing strength from the successive spells, collapsed to the floor.
“Please report the situation!”
Soon after hearing the urgent news from inside the castle gate, Princess Arin’s soldiers came running.
However, the situation was already over.
“Well, an unknown woman suddenly appeared and froze all of those deformed bodies!”
“woman?”
Arin turned her gaze to the direction the knights pointed to.
A woman with dark blue hair who can clearly feel the magic of water at a glance.
“Eh, Ellis?”
It was Ellis, the eldest daughter of Duke Berthe and Sian’s older sister.
* * *
News of the appearance of the dark elves was spread not only in Jurn but also in other cities of the empire adjacent to Pruina.
They all appeared in front of the castle gate and threatened, and knights tried to stop them, but none of the cities except Journ were able to stop the attack.
I don’t know why, but fortunately, after the incident in front of the castle gate, they all retreated without invading the inside.
It left behind a strange feeling that it would not end at this level next time.
We had to come up with measures to stop them as quickly as possible.
“So, are you saying that the extremely dangerous race called the dark elves are led by humans, not elves?”
“yes… … .”
‘Marian, will you be okay?’
“For now, all I can do is hope it’s okay. “But his miraculous spirit hasn’t completely disappeared yet, so I think he’ll be fine.”
Ellis comforted Hastia, who was anxious.
“Who the hell is this? “The human who leads the dark elves?”
Elise couldn’t answer Runab’s question right away, so she clenched her fists and hesitated slightly.
“Anastasia Spensia.”
“… … !”
At that moment, the magic book that Lunav was holding was shaking and reacting.
“I am the owner of another holy sword… … .”

Everyone’s expressions froze at that one word.
“The owner of the holy sword? “Are you saying that there was another owner of the Holy Sword besides Eshel Wert?”
“To be more precise, I should say he is the former owner of the Holy Sword. “I have tremendous holy power that cannot be compared to my brother, or even to Eshel.”
Ellis unconsciously wrapped her arms around her body.
As the memories of what happened to her came back, fear and fear rose up in me.
“You said you were coveting God’s secrets, and then, no wonder, that friend did something… … .”
In response, Remi Haram whispered next to Runab as if he was talking to himself.
“I guess you know who it is?”
“The most perfect human being. It was so perfect that even God was afraid… … .”
At the same time, he slowly turned his gaze to see what Kayram was thinking.
[…] … .]
Kairam was surprisingly unfazed and reacted calmly.
As if he had expected this situation.
Ellis looked at Sian, who had not yet woken up, with a sad gaze.
“She became one with Eshel, who was in my subspace, and absorbed all of his remaining holy power.”
“I did not know. I couldn’t believe that Ellis had that man with him… … .”
“I did it because I didn’t want any more blood on Sian’s hands. But in the end, I was complacent.”
“Elise, do you know about Xian’s secret?”
Ellis shook his head.
“He said he would tell me in person when he gets the chance, but I haven’t heard it yet.”
After hesitating for a moment, Arin soon told Ellis about Xian’s secret that she had heard from Brian a little while ago.
“That can’t be… … !”
Ellis, who learned the truth, reacted with the same disbelief.
But soon, he looked at Sian again with pitiful eyes.
“It must have been very difficult. Bearing my own pain that no one can understand… … .”
Now, I wanted to relieve Xian of that pain, but the world did not allow Xian to be happy yet.
“You say you’re a human just like us, so why on earth does that person named Anastasia do something like this?”
“I don’t know the exact reason yet. But there must be a draft for that reason. “She said she wanted to talk.”
“Conversation?”
“yes. They are probably trying to negotiate something regarding the draft. It might not be a very good deal for us… … .”
Arin, who closed her eyes and thought for a moment, suddenly stood up.
“Then I’ll go and talk to her.”
The eyes of everyone around opened brightly.
“You’re reckless, princess!”
Resimus jumped up and tried to stop him.
“If that person is truly the master of the holy sword, he will not try to harm us. But I think we need to at least figure out what her intentions are.”
What purpose are you trying to achieve through the dark elves?
Also, what kind of negotiations will they try to make over the draft?
Arin told everyone that they needed to find out his intentions.
“There is no need for others to follow. “I will go alone as a representative.”
“But princess… !”
“It’s my name, Resimus. “Don’t try to stop me any more.”
Resimus had no choice but to keep his mouth shut when he responded strongly, saying it was an imperial command that could not be disobeyed.
“Do not worry. “No matter what she asks, if it is harmful to her, she will not accept it.”
“Then I’ll go too.”
Runab, who couldn’t just sit still and watch, raised his hand and said.
“They say they’re going to have a conversation about something related to their senior, so I can’t not come along.”
Arin tried to stop him, but soon smiled.
Considering Lunav’s usual personality, I knew that no matter what I said, she wouldn’t listen.
In fact, I felt more secure with her around.
“Princess! “Please come outside for a moment!”
At that time, a driver waiting outside hurried in and shouted.
As everyone followed the knight’s instructions and came out, an unidentifiable golden light was seen rising into the sky from the hill beyond Journ’s castle gate.
The light was similar to the light emitted by the holy sword.
“What direction is that?”
“It’s Pruina’s side. “Maybe Anastasia she gave her signal.”
“Signal?”
“yes. He’s here, so it means you can come when you’re ready… … .”
Arin and Lunab clenched their fists at Ellis’ explanation.
Since there was no reason to hesitate, the two headed straight to the place where the light was rising.
* * *
On top of a hill blowing a bitter cold wind that could not be felt in the Usif Empire.
There, the owner of the other Holy Sword, who had called Arin and Lunav here, was there.
The two immediately realized that it was Anastasia and without hesitation, they climbed up the hill.
“Isn’t this a bit unexpected? “I knew dark men would come, but I never thought such beautiful ladies would come.”
Anastasia greeted the two with a genuine surprise.
“nice to meet you. “My name is Anastasia Spensia, and as you can see, I am the owner of the Holy Sword.”
Following her introduction, Arin and Lunav also introduced themselves.
“I am Arin Sebellus, princess of the Usif Empire.”
“I am Runab Rainriver, the representative of the Garam Kingdom Magic Society.”
Anastasia’s eyes widened at the unusual introduction.
“The imperial princess and the representative of the Magic Society? A truly incredible number of people came. “I don’t want it to look bad, right?”
At the same time, he appeared to hastily adjust his clothes.
“I heard that you were the one who sent hordes of dark elves throughout the empire. “What is the reason?”
“Let me apologize first for that. I needed to show it to you first. “What dangers will come to the people of the continent?”
At this, Lunav narrowed her eyebrows and asked.
“Do you want chaos on the continent?”
“Confusion? I am someone who protects the order of light. I don’t want such a scary future, even if it means peace. “In the end, you all came to me to stop that, right?”
They both responded with silence.
“So, I will ask you straight out. Sian Bert. “Just hand that guy over to me.”
“Cyan… … “What do you plan to do?”
When Arin asked her question seriously, Anastasia answered with a bright smile like a child.
“I will kill you.”
“… … !”
Runab instantly grabbed the Bible he was holding stronger.
“Or, you can kill him yourself and bring his head. “I just need to confirm that the man is dead.”
Arin controlled her rising emotions and spoke calmly again.
“Why are you trying to kill Xian?”
“Because of that man, the dark elf woke up.”
“What if we can’t give it to you?”
“This world will probably be filled with chaos, right?”
Anastasia continued her answer with a relaxed smile.
“Sian Berth is a felon who coveted God’s secrets. As a result, the dark elves who were sealed under the Pruina ice cap were resurrected. They will now spread not only to the empire, but also to all continents, wreaking havoc on the world. “There’s no reason to see such a tragic future, right?”
“Is making a mess of the world something the owner of the Holy Sword would do?”
Lunav asked back with his eyes narrowed.
Instead of answering right away, Anastasia snorted slightly.
“Now I see that you were the master of the magic book?”
Lunav did not answer.
“The princess of the empire is joining forces with the owner of the ugly magic book to protect the owner of the magic sword. “How wrong is this world?”
“Isn’t the decision that something was wrong ultimately based on your standards?”
Anastasia’s expression, which had always been smiling, was slightly crumpled.
“My will is God’s will. “If you think my will is wrong, it’s the same as going against the will of the creators of this world.”
“God didn’t create our world!”
Arin and Lunav shouted at the same time.
“It was Sian who created our world!”
This world they could live in because of Xian, because Xian created it.
For both of them, no, for many people in this land already,
Xian was no different from the creator who created a new world and life that had never existed before.
“… … .”
Anastasia looked at them both with a smile that had completely disappeared.
“I don’t think we need to talk further.”
Negotiations broke down.
Since it was a result they had already expected, the two didn’t really care.
“Try it once. How reckless and foolish it is to not follow the order of the majority… … .”
Anastasia turned around after saying those words.
Arin and Lunab looked at her back in silence, then turned their heads to the bottom of the hill where the sunset was setting.
“Don’t you regret it?”
“suddenly?”
“You acted unbecoming of a princess who has to protect the people of the empire.”
“Xian is also a citizen of the empire.”
Arin answered with a relaxed smile as if asking what was the problem.
“As much as Xian protected me, I should also protect Xian… … .”
Before her eyes, the image of Xian 10 years ago, when he faced the troll alone to protect himself, was vividly pictured.
