173. End of the World (2)

She was sitting curled up in the corner of the table.

A golden crown was worn over thin silver hair, and she was wearing a white silver dress.

I narrowed my eyes.

I’ve seen it several times. I couldn’t figure it out.

Until a few days ago, we met face to face.

‘Pria.’

Her appearance was very strange.

Tears welled up in his golden eyes, and he bit his lip hard enough to bleed.

what’s so embarrassing

“……ha.”

I sighed and put my butt in the empty seat.

I sat cross-legged and looked around slowly.

“Even though we were defeated, I have no regrets. Everyone did their best and each did what he could. We united beyond class and race differences and fought with one body and one mind.”

The young man’s speech continued.

Some people at the table were moved to tears.

“…”

A moan escaped Fria’s lips.

I moved my gaze across the table. Behind the throne without an owner, there were statues of twin goddesses made of marble. Two girls holding hands. The appearance of one of them is deeply etched in my mind.

I smiled.

Actually, his true identity is not obvious.

It was predictable and there was no need to sleep.

‘Did they say they are twin goddesses who rule the Taoni language?’

I knew from Nerissa.

The two goddesses are called ‘Tell’ and ‘Ikar’ respectively.

It was said that the saintess would directly receive the oracle from the goddess.

I crossed my arms.

The eyes of the goddess statue, which should have been nothing more than a decoration, are shining red.

But few seemed to notice.

Everyone was absorbed in the young man’s speech.

thud!

The whole palace shook greatly.

Pieces of stone fell from the ceiling and smashed part of the table.

“I don’t think I have much time…”

The young man laughed bitterly.

The knight standing next to the young man said.

“According to reports, they will come to the palace within an hour.”

“That means we have only so much time left.”

“I’m sorry.”

“No. We all did our best. Who’s to blame?”

When the young man stroked his shoulder, the knight bowed his head deeply as if thrilled.

Well, from the outside, it’s a heartwarming sight.

“It’s ugly.”

An insidious voice, as if scratching the inside of the ear.

I looked across the table. A place where no one used to be. Suddenly, the shadow wriggled and weaved a figure.

[SS▩SH黑⊙∈※ Lv.999]

“How about it, don’t you think so too?”

The girl with ebony hair looked at me and smiled.

In the low-saturation landscape, he exudes a definite presence.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen it in person like this. You’ve lived this far. You’re truly the master I’ve marked.”

Tell smiled softly.

“Why did you come out? I hate to see you.”

“I’m sorry. I barely made time while preparing for the event.”

“Go, little.”

Tell drank from a wine glass filled with a thick, tar-like liquid.

“Isn’t it ugly, Loki? They lost.

“…”

“Everyone except one is trash. Not worth saving.”

With a sensual gesture, Tell stroked the cheek of Freea, who was sitting next to him.

Freea crouched down as if she didn’t feel anything.

「Hehehehe… … .」

After a cool laugh, Tell’s body turned into a shadow and scattered.

I slumped my back in the chair. The young man’s words continued.

“Do you have anything to say? Anyone is welcome. If you have something to say…”

Freea raised her hand.

at the same time.

‘Hmm?’

Woo woo woo woo.

Bifrost began shaking violently.

As I grabbed the scabbard, the vibration stopped after a while.

“My precious little brother. You worked hard too.

“Your Highness the Prince.”

Fria spoke again and again.

“I don’t want to end here.”

The atmosphere in the crowd hardened.

bang!

“Listen everyone!”

Freea jumped up and slammed the desk.

“Have you been running with blood and sweat just for this end, for this end? “

“…”

“I’m not angry… I’m not angry!”

Freea screamed as if screaming.

The atmosphere at the table, which had been calm, changed to a chilly one.

The smiles disappeared from everyone’s faces.

“Look at the faces of the people behind you. They are afraid. They are afraid. But are those who lead them give up without letting go of their hands? Aren’t you ashamed of your ancestors!”

“This stern! How dare you say something safe! No matter how golden you are…!”

“Shut up!”

Freea was blown away.

“I don’t accept this ending. Let’s all enjoy dinner here and then finish it? Funny sound! Our warriors are still bleeding outside!”

“So… what are you going to do? Her Highness, the princess.”

The female mage wearing a purple robe laughed.

On the name tag above his head, the words ‘the family head of Stenberg’ appeared.

“It’s not that we weren’t indignant either. But no matter what method we tried, it didn’t work. In the end, it ended up like this. So, what does Her Highness want to do? Are you saying to cry and run wild?”

“I understand Her Highness’s feelings too. However, there were results that could not be helped. Sometimes, I think we need to accept it. That is our last remaining pride.”

“One… is there a way left?”

Fria, who had been silent, spoke.

His gaze turned to the church on the right side of the table.

“Saint, hasn’t the goddess’ oracle come down? I heard that there is an important clue to save the continent. But why are you keeping it a secret?”

The white-clad girl who was called a saint was silent.

The female knight next to me said.

“Your Highness the Princess, the saintess doesn’t carelessly hide the goddess’s oracle. You may be mistaken.”

Versace in a silver flash.

Yesterday, it was the woman I cut off with my own torso.

Freea shook her head at Versace’s words.

“I’m not mistaken. I heard clearly. The Goddess said she would give us one chance… a chance to start all over again.”

“Your Highness, what are you talking about?”

“It’s going back in time. Back a few years.”

Estimates are coming in slowly.

I thought I knew why I was showing this scene.

He is telling the heroes the purpose of their mission.

‘then… … .’

Are the heroes to be promoted next to see a similar scene?

It was only natural that his attitude changed after the promotion. Of course, you’ll have to wait until the end to make a decision. It wasn’t enough to clear up the doubts that still piled up.

“Turn back time.”

The female mage’s eyes narrowed.

Freea looked around the crowd and continued.

“If we go back then, the outcome might be different. Isn’t it unfortunate to sit down like this? You mean to end it without knowing anything and not even knowing the identity of the enemy? I don’t understand. If there is a way even with a very low probability, shouldn’t we try it? .”

“Is that true?”

The beast king’s bewildered eyes turned to the saintess.

The saintess let out a deep sigh.

“It is true that the goddess gave such an oracle…”

“Why did you hide it?”

“that…….”

The saintess’ complexion turned pale.

Eventually, when the mouth was about to open again, Chijik.

My vision blurred with noise. However, the static disappeared within seconds, and the saintess spoke her words.

“Even if I start over, would that change the outcome?”

The saintess’ voice rang softly.

“Wouldn’t it be better to end it like this…?”

The saintess’ tone lowered.

“All the races of the Taoniers joined forces as one. But, and yet, just once! We couldn’t win just once… Are you going back?”

no one objected

Even the young man at the head of the table had his eyes closed.

“We’re tired now. We think it’s good to end here.”

“…”

Heavy air settled down.

I tried to organize the flow of the conversation with my pods on.

These are the guardians who tried to protect Taonier.

Humans, Monsters. Regardless of race, they gather in one place. We all fought together, but it seems that we couldn’t even use the side. And now, facing destruction, they gather in one place and await death.

‘It seems to be understandable.’

There is no major discrepancy.

If a 3-star hero comes in and watches, anyone will nod.

I said it was ugly

I chuckled.

It is.

Looking at the current video,

they are scared

“……dastardly.”

Fria murmured.

A fire broke out in his golden eyes.

“You think you can’t win? Let’s end it like this? Don’t be funny. Don’t be funny! Your people are watching! What the hell are you talking about!”

Freea kicked off her chair and stood up.

The white jade face turned red.

“At one time, I thought you were true heroes. I think I was mistaken. You were small people. There is no better small people! Aren’t you ashamed? You should be ashamed!”

Sreung!

Freea drew her sword.

“Why is no one standing up with me? Even if the probability is very low, even if it’s like a thread, if there is a way, shouldn’t I do it? Why is no one saying anything!”

“…”

No one opened their mouths.

“I will do it. I will do it. A hundred times, a thousand times! I will go back and change it.

hey

There are no heroes.

Freea looked at the goddess statue behind the throne with burning eyes.

The silver blade was aimed at the goddess statue.

“Goddess, if you are watching, respond! I, Priasis all Ragnar, will accept the offer. If no one else goes, I will go back alone!”

Whoops.

The twin goddess statues began to shake.

creak. The lips of the goddess made of marble parted, and a mysterious voice came out.

“The golden heir, Priasis.”

It wasn’t an unpleasant voice that irritated the eardrums.

It was a clean tone, like the wind blowing through the forest.

“At this moment, the contract has been established.”

“For them…”

Freea turned around the table with a cold expression.

“Give me the end befitting my vessel.”

“Now, wait! Her Highness, what are you talking about!”

Geek.

The faces of the twin goddesses turned toward the table.

A red light flashed from the pair of eyes.

“For those who do not deserve it, an appropriate curse.”

“Cheuk!”

A man sat down clutching his chest.

The man groaned in pain and spat out a handful of dark red blood. It started with that man. Those who did not make a sound at Freea’s screams collapsed one by one and began to vomit blood.

「Golden heir, I will give you the blessing of the goddess. Infinite opportunities will be given, and noble heroes will follow you.”

“…”

Freea closed her eyes.

Beneath it, countless humans and monsters were spread out, vomiting blood.

“Ph, Freea! Freea!”

The blond young man screamed, but Fria did not open her eyes.

and.

Koo Goo Goo.

The whole palace began to shake.

Pillars fell one by one and were smashed, and parts of the ceiling poured down.

precursor to collapse. The palace is about to collapse.

“Challenge. take it Conquer your destiny. The golden throne is yours.”

The palace was collapsing in the song of the goddess.

‘Hmm.’

did this happen

indeed.

‘There are only cowards.’

small fry.

Pria’s expression is appropriate.

You can’t call them heroes.

Some questions have been answered.

The reason why Freea is the main character in most of the missions.

More explicitly, Taonier revolves around that woman.

Heroes who went through this promotion ceremony will learn why they fight, and will burn their will to carry out their mission. It was a very exemplary morale booster.

‘okay.’

this,

if it’s true

I looked up and smiled.

“hey.”

Bifrost was shaking like crazy.

“Knock it down.”

Right before everything was buried, I pulled out my sword.

A dark light flashes from the blade of the sword. Yurnet said that this sword is the crystallization of interfering power with infinite possibilities. That seems right.

‘Give me.’

There is no need for a play like this.

bring it

‘The real thing.’

Woo woo woo.

I grabbed the bifrost that was burning black.

I held onto the hilt of my sword, took a posture, and cut down.

Clink!

What was blocking my eyes was shattered and scattered like glass.
