Chapter 846
Episode 210. Memories of the Past – Murakan (5)
Waking up and losing consciousness several times a day.
Those days continued. Occasionally Diana and other colleagues visited the hospital bed, but Murakan barely communicated with them.
January 1, 800.
Runkandel and Zipple officially announced the end of the war to the world.
The people of the world guessed that the reason why the overwhelmingly advantageous Ziple suddenly ended the war was because of Temar’s return.
It is said that the end of the war was possible because he sacrificed his life to kill Elona Ziple.
However, in the memory of the world, the names of Temar and Elona were quickly forgotten. The Tower of Story was easily changing the perception of ordinary people who had no power of existence and no resistance to manipulation.
However, Runcandel and the members of Zipple remembered the two.
“It’s just a fake end. Murakan, Ziple is still frantic trying to find the body of the family head. It’s like when he humiliates us by proposing the terms of acceptance of surrender, and he’s strangely obsessed with the body of the head of the family.”
As Rokia said that, Murakan barely opened his eyes and looked at her.
“Loki… … .”
“They keep raiding areas that are supposed to be the tombs of the family heads. Actually, we don’t know where the family head is buried. So we are always moving later than they are.”
Murakan didn’t answer for a while, thinking about Temar’s death. He was finally accepting that he was dead.
However, the reality that Murakan had to accept did not end there.
“Diana… … Diana.”
“Dead. I was trying to protect the grave of the family head yesterday. To be precise, I didn’t mean to guard the tomb. Like I just said, we don’t even know where the tomb is. However, after checking the movement of Zipple’s troops, a battle broke out. A guy who wasn’t even in good shape did too much.”
Rokia said in a calm voice. Now I see that she too has significant injuries all over her body.
“The ones who survived… … with you… … who else is there?”
“It is difficult to ascertain whether he is alive or dead. The most likely one is Lucy.”
“Huh.”
Rokia raised magic in her palm and wiped away the muddy aura that flowed from Murakan’s mouth.
“… … In this way, there was not much left to use mana. Ziffle and his gods cursed Runcandel. We can no longer use magic.”
“Lord Rokia, I’m afraid of giving too much of a shock to Mr. Murakan. I’ll let you know later.”
“okay? Kin. It’s a shock… … Not bad. Because Murakan will pay the price.”
“Sir Rokia!”
“In the last battle of the household, if only this guy woke up and fought together, we wouldn’t have ended up like this. The façade of the end of the war, the curse in the name of an oath, and the defeated soldiers fighting to protect the body of the family leader even if they were scattered. I’m sick of it, I can’t stand it.”
“Murakan-nim did nothing wrong. We lost because of the fabrication of history, not anyone’s fault.”
“You guys who are still blind don’t know, but I don’t think so.”
“Now that the whereabouts of the head butler and the teenage knights are uncertain, it is Lord Rokia who must lead the family.”
“Yes, it will be mine now. But I will leave the family and retire as soon as Lucina, the other living one, returns.”
“What do you mean? You’re going to throw away your family… … ?”
“Now, not a single bit of my utopia remains in this family. Hey Keen, we lost a lot fighting for Runkandel. Are you still going to tell me to fight more? What right do you have?”
Keen couldn’t answer.
“Thank you for not leaving right away. I’m just postponing my retirement because I don’t want to see my family disappear without a trace.”
Rokia left. Murakan fell asleep again, wrapped in a new shell of sorrow.
But even if I run away into sleep every time.
The moment when he had no choice but to kill his colleagues was vivid enough to give goosebumps. Even though Temar performed a miracle, the miserable reality of Runcandel did not disappear.
Eventually, Murakan started exhibiting erratic behavior.
From one day, he suddenly got up from his bed as if he had sleepwalking and wandered around the stormy area. He sometimes walked the corridors in human form, and there were times he flew in his true form.
no one could stop him He tried to dry it off once, because he had a runaway reaction.
Half a year passed like that. Rokia left the family, and the invisible war between Runcandel and Ziple continued.
Murakan’s strange behavior was also continuing.
He went farther and farther and returned again and again. He gets out of bed for a few hours when it’s short and days when it’s long.
“I don’t know if Murakan-nim is really okay. If I end up getting attacked by the assassins from the Zipline side, I’ll be worried and go crazy.”
“Kin-nim, so are we. There’s no reason for Ziffle to leave Murakan alone. On the day when they’re going to get into the grand air network… … I heard that you are only able to fly now, but in fact, you have almost no combat capability.”
“I can’t even ask for help because I won’t be able to afford it anymore. Is there no choice but to wait like this?”
As the worries of Kin and his family grow, Murakan’s return has passed for the first time in over a month.
“Didn’t you come back today? After, how is the atmosphere on the Zipline side?”
“There is still no news that Murakan has been seen in the Lutero Federation.”
“Has anyone seen it on our side or in the Empire?”
“yes… … . There has been no report from anywhere.”
It was no different that the story of seeing Murakan was not heard anywhere in the world.
Black Sea.
At that time, Murakan was walking on the Black Sea. From the first time he got out of bed and started to move, his unconscious mind was directed towards the Black Sea.
And finally Murakan was able to face a man somewhere on the Black Sea.
[Murakan… … You managed to reach here alive.]
Witch Heluram.
She looked down on Murakan from atop a tower over the Black Sea.
[Your body will never be able to handle the monsters and debris here.]
Heluram looked back and forth between Murakan and the depths of the Black Sea behind him several times as if it were truly curious.
Indeed, Murakan, with his heart destroyed, safely entered the Black Sea and estimated how likely it would be to meet him.
It was infinitely close to impossible.
[Whether it was someone’s blessing, or whether your will was that transcendent… … It’s something worth paying for. Yeah, what made you come to me so desperately?]
“memory… … .”
[memory?]
“My memories… … erase it… … .”

so that I won’t give up
When Murakan continued talking behind her back, the witch widened her eyes in surprise and smiled.
[I am asking you to erase the memories you have already forgotten yourself. Wouldn’t it be a waste to ask me?]
Murakan nodded without hesitation.
[Okay, listen.]
Hearing Helluram’s voice, he opened his eyes again and found himself in a hospital bed in a storm.
Murakan remembered what he had to do as he watched Kin and his family hurriedly enter the hospital room.
I repeated my promise that I had to somehow recover my heart as much as possible until the thousand-year contractor appeared.
Whoa… … .
Suddenly, like ashes, spiritual energy was scattered, and the scene from a thousand years ago was coming to an end.
Jin couldn’t say anything for a while, so he stared at Murakan and the teenage knights. Mura Khan stretched his hands out in the air, sobbing in his distraught mind.
What he was trying to catch was the teenage knights he killed at the time. Dranax, Violo, and Frey from a thousand years ago filled Murakan’s field of vision.
But you can’t hold on to illusions caused by delirium. His arms were just floundering in the air.
“I was wrong, forgive me… … .”
At Murakan’s hoarse voice, the teenage knights who were formed as guardians lowered their heads for a moment. The hour of annihilation is imminent. Their bodies also disappeared little by little, and aura particles were scattered.
“damn. You bastard, why do you make people cry like this, damn it, damn it. Now that it is disappearing, should I weave it? Whoops, whoops!”
“Yeah, oh, I don’t like this. Whoa! Huh!”
As Dranax and Violo spoke, Frey hugged Murakan from behind. Dranax and Violo also burst into tears as they hugged Frey and Murakan.
“Murakan.”
“Frey… … ? Freya?”
“Yes, it is me. Frey.”
“Fray, forgive me.”
“We must ask for forgiveness. You protected us like that, but we didn’t know that and resented you.”
“Forgiveness is black, what kind of forgiveness is that, you bastard!”
“Yes, you bastard!”
“Dranax… … Violo.”
Soon after, Murakan looked back and was able to face the two crying and the smiling Frey.
I almost forgot my headache with that bright smile. Seeing her friends crying close to her was like a dream, and she blinked her eyes several times.
Murakan also hugged them. Their voices, their tremors, their heartbeats, their body temperature beat all over. The chains that had plagued Murakan for a thousand years were breaking piece by piece. I was finally able to face them face to face.
But I couldn’t just get drunk with joy.
“Guys, don’t go. Where are you going?”
The disappearance of the teenage knights was accelerating. Each time aura particles escaped, their bodies visibly dimmed.
“We are not disappearing, we are going into your memory.”
don’t do that, just stay
Murakan tried to answer, but his throat choked and no words came out.
“Murakan, these words sound a little strange to me. From now on, in your memories, we will all watch over you and fight together.”
“It was us then that lost, not you and Runkandel now. Hey Jean! please this guy I don’t know about thousand-year contracts or what, but I really like you. If it’s you, I can put my mind at ease.”
Murakan felt the presence of his friends fading away.
And Frey brushed the hair of Murakan, who was trying to deny the breakup somehow, and lightly kissed his lips.
“I am proud to have loved you. Murakan, you’ve had a hard time keeping us, and you’ve had a hard time finding us. So, without falling into sadness again, live courageously. Nod your head just once. That way, I think I can comfortably become your memory.”
Murakan nodded.
It was because if he couldn’t nod his head now, he would never be able to do so in the future.
It also made me smile. It was because if she couldn’t show her smile now, she couldn’t show it in the future.
“Hello, Murakan.”
With Frey’s voice at the end, Katam’s drawing was over.
