Part 2 Episode 109
dragon and horse
To be known to the world until now.
Magic was originally a high-level technology that only dragons could use.
It is said that a human named ‘Prometheus’ received magic from the ‘original dragon’, and later the era of human magic began.
But that’s not the case.
It is humans who create magic.
Also Mervinger.
‘no… ‘Are our ancestors really human?’
If the information in this book is true, it was clear that the roots of magic came from witchcraft that was only used by a small group of people.
Content that completely contradicts existing common sense.
Elric couldn’t come to his senses.
If this content were presented as is at the Academy… .
‘I’ll be treated like a crazy person.’
‘I feel dizzy.’
Elric pressed his temples and took a long, deep breath.
Then, calming my excited mind, I continued reading the booklet.
「… “When magic was created, people’s opinions were divided.”
“One side wants to actively use this as knowledge, and the other side believes in magic and uses it as a greater power for domination.”
“The two factions had clearly different tendencies, but until then, there were only these differences of opinion between the two factions. “It wasn’t to the point where there was a big internal conflict.”
‘Two tendencies.’
This part particularly caught my eye.
This was because I could guess what form each one remained in today.
“After that, Mervinger continued to expand in size, and before we knew it, there was no place in the world that could compete with them.”
“It was Mervinger who pioneered the continent where there was nothing and filled it with humans.”
“In the process, it was Mervinger who became the master of the dragon and the king of the giants.”
“We speak of this time.”
“The Age of Myths.”
“… .”
Elric’s chest became increasingly heavy.
“A time when humans, who were only a small number of people on the continent, became the rulers of the continent.”
“An era when numerous myths and legends were born, and heroic stories and epics were developed.”
“Humans were the most honorable.”
“Humans were the most heartless.”
“Humanity was the most cruel.”
“A time when everything was contradictory.”
.
.
“As mythology developed, many things in life changed. Culture was created and civilization was born.”
“Civilization developed and faith in concepts arose. And as human beliefs gathered around the concept, it gained divinity and began to take on different forms.”
“Representative examples were Changcheon, which made it easy to offer up faith, and charity, which spoke of love.”
‘I guess this is why the Protestant Alliance reached out to me.’
Everything made sense by itself.
If the Mervingers were a group of prophets who led humanity, and because of this, the gods of the time began to be born one by one.
At this time when Mervinger is trying to stretch himself again in a new era, the gods have no choice but to come again.
‘It would also be the case that the God of Mercy and Heaven is kind to me. ‘It’s difficult.’
Palak!
Elric turned the pages of the book.
He did not stop and continued to seek new knowledge.
I felt like I needed to find more things.
however.
“… uh?”
His eyes stopped on one page.
「… Faith also brought belief in the seasons to those who farmed.”
“Nature itself is a mysterious and wonderful being. The four seasons, spring, summer, fall, and winter, were like that.”
“On the other hand, there are many dark concepts that bring pure fear. “It was orgy, madness and apocalypse.”
‘This is the true name of the Great Demon Lords, right? What are the four seasons in front?’
He checked the passage he had just seen again to see if it was true.
It wasn’t a mistake.
God and Ma.
Although they were clearly different beings, they had something in common.
as soon as.
‘Existences derived from human concepts.’
Just like a dragon and a demon have a mirror-faced relationship.
The two beings had a relationship like two sides of a coin.
If it is a ‘good’ that is beneficial to humans, then it is God.
If it is an ‘evil’ that is harmful to humans, do not.
The only difference is whether it is beneficial or harmful.

In the end, the essence is the same.
Perhaps the difference between beneficial and harmful may have differed depending on the era.
‘Come to think of it, Mephie said something similar.’
-joy! Do you think God is any different from us?
-Great demon kings like King Bon are beings who only become gods.
-Ignorance and obscurity, which are the basis of evil, ultimately originate from human notions.
-There is not much difference between you and the gods who cry like that.
At the time, I passed it off like nothing happened. It seemed like they were words filled with bones.
‘If the Protestant Alliance hears about this, there will be an uproar.’
Wouldn’t they be so angry that they would dare to put the holy gods and the plague-like demons on the same level?
It would be better if it just stopped there.
They had nothing to say even if they declared a holy war, saying they were tainted by heresy.
“ha… .”
Elric wiped his face with a somewhat tired expression.
How human civilization developed from the beginning of magic.
And even the relationship between God and the Great Demon Lords.
Everything was jumbled up in my head.
but.
Even now, it doesn’t feel real.
‘The truth is that it all started with Mervinger.’
As they awakened magic to humans and gave them power, the current environment was created.
To define it in one word.
The civilization of this world is ultimately the fruit that sprouted from the seeds sown by one’s own family.
“under!”
When I thought about it like that, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud because it was so absurd.
Why is it so vast and verbose?
All he wanted to do was rebuild his crumbling family and live happily with the people around him.
Doesn’t this only lead to a huge sense of responsibility?
‘This kind of thing… I thought it was just my grandfather who carried it.’
Can a selfish bastard like me really take over the family business?
Do I deserve it?
That thought came to me all the time.
On the one hand, I want to protest and say that I know nothing about what our ancestors did.
Also, his love for his family was too great to do that.
“… .”
Moreover, even though he was mentally unstable, he was able to understand the ‘heaviness’ that the Four Seasons sometimes displayed.
and.
There was just one thing that bothered me.
‘I know that the Four Worlds and the Great Demon Lords came from human notions… .’
The founder who created Mervinger as a family.
A demon god who is the origin of demons.
How on earth did these two come into being?
And one more thing.
‘Why is Mephi’s ‘original sin’ not visible?’
I’ve looked through a few books so far, but I’ve never found anything related to Mephisto mentioned.
Even when the true names of other Great Demon Lords are revealed.
Paralock!
Elric stayed up all night reading to solve his doubts.
In the end, I couldn’t find an answer to that.
* * *
“Whoa… “It’s not here either.”
Elric pushed the tattered booklet aside and leaned back in his chair.
When I unconsciously turned my head to the window, I saw that dawn was already breaking.
It seemed like he had been frantically reviewing the book all night.
The books piled up on the right had already moved to the other side.
As if that wasn’t enough, I felt like I’d read every book in the library at least once.
But the answer to the question still hasn’t been found.
Now there was only one thing left.
<The sin of greening>
‘Recording, recording… .’
A word meaning a bush or forest with green leaves.
When I remembered that Sijo means ‘Mother Nature,’ I realized that it was a very meaningful title.
That was when Elric reached into the last booklet to check its contents.
Coooooo!
A strong explosion sounded from below.
The desk shook violently, and the stacked books collapsed.
‘what? ‘Is it an attack?’
Elric’s expression became serious.
It seems that the man has returned with an army of dragons.
The problem was that I hadn’t even felt any sign of it until now.
He gathered his strength and hurriedly moved to the place where the explosion occurred.
and.
“… “What is that?”
I could see soldiers rolling on the floor, covered in dust.
If there is something a little different from what you expected.
The thing that attacked the soldiers was Shawn, not the dragon army.
“Who will be the next one to attack?”
He crossed his legs and waved his hands in a grumpy manner.
However, unlike his tone of voice, the energy he gave off was quite strong.
The soldiers waiting behind him trembled and avoided his eyes.
“ha… . They said they would train me, but they did something like this… .”
Elric placed his hand on his head.
The sight of him smiling was so funny that he said he wanted to die.
It must be a taste of beating up demons.
Looking at him like that, it certainly seemed like Sean was a Mervinger.
“Who’s next?”
Shawn waved the sword in both hands and urged the soldiers again.
They reacted to even the slightest movement of Sean by flinching.
Even though morale was boosted by Elric’s performance, the condition of all the soldiers was not that good.
However, I can’t help but cringe when I see him being coercive.
‘I have to catch the kids I’m going to catch.’
That was when Elric tried to stop Sean.
“You all know very well that we will not be able to stop the second offensive at this point.”
Before he knew it, King Yulho had stepped in front of Sean and was speaking to the soldiers.
A voice full of dignity.
Indeed, it was a majesty reminiscent of the king of a country that once terrorized the continent.
Some soldiers barely found the courage to say something.
“You might want to say that there is a devil, right? “The devil will protect you all.”
King Yulho cut off their words with a single sword.
“Don’t be funny. “There is a limit to how much the devil can protect you.”
“… .”
“… .”
“… .”
“Roll over. If you want to live. Hang in there. “If you want to protect your family.”
The soldiers were each shocked and busy looking at each other.
King Yulho’s words kept lingering in my mind.
-Aren’t you going to protect your family?
Who wouldn’t want to do that here, no, where would there be a demon?
This is the place where we finally arrived after being chased and chased by the vicious Mervinger.
If they lose this place, they lose their entire home.
Your family and yourself will all die.
“Be strong. “If you want to survive somehow and protect your family.”
“… !”
“… !”
“… !”
King Yulho’s voice resonated strongly in the hearts of the demons.
Wizard who swallowed talent
