Chapter 497
There was a time when even the gods had no names. Those who only knew that some kind of power existed in the world, each believed in something.
Among them, those who worship the moon prayed for a long time with the wish of immortality.
That’s why they were blessed under the moonlight, but they became beings who couldn’t live under the sun’s light.
The gods lend their strength to what they believe in.
If you believe that it is a demon god, it seems to lend you unholy power.
Since they believed in God hoping for immortality, it must have meant that immortality was granted.
It’s just that I was cursed by the sun, which I didn’t expect.
“There must have been people who were willing to do such an immortality, and there must have been people who weren’t.”
“There must have been some people who struggled in despair because they would never be able to walk in the sun again, and there would have been people who were grateful to be able to live forever, even under the moonlight.”
“Monday and all vampires starting with Monday were beasts of the night.”
“As time passed, some of Mondays must have thought that way around the time when Buddha was sick of it.”
“I want to walk in the sun once again.”
“Once again, I want to see the world in the bright sunlight.”
“Isn’t it natural that beings who live only in the dark get tired of the dark?”
“They said they tried to overcome the sun.”
“Monday’s clan wanted to overcome the sun by force by receiving stronger powers.”
“Some people had other ideas.”
“There were those who wanted to stand in the light of the sun once more by asking forgiveness from the sun.”
“Vampires who worship the sun, they became sundays.”
“Those who have been forgiven by the sun.”
“Rather than seeking the sun’s forgiveness, those who want to become stronger and stand under the sunlight with strength.”
“After a very long time, both clans were able to face the sun, albeit in pain.”
“That’s the vampire who overcame the sun.”
“It was a road vampire.”
Luna sees me.
All have overcome the sun, but in different ways.
Vampires originated from ancient beliefs, and in a way they were divine beings.
It is just a strange existence that has been blessed by some gods and cursed by others.
“But, in the end, this is also half the same, isn’t it?”
They are able to face the sunlight, but as I have seen, most Lord Vampires can walk in the sunlight but feel great pain.
just not complaining.
“Time passed and passed, and as time passed for an eternity, another lineage of Lord Vampires was created while the origins of true vampires were forgotten.”
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Eventually, starting from Monday, it differentiated into Sunday, and through another differentiation, Lord Vampire families arose.
I didn’t know how long Luna was talking about, but I could tell that it was talking a very long time.
“Monday and Sunday, the oldest of the Lord Vampires, had an inevitable affair.”
“Inevitable… … . Wind?”
“okay.”
Luna sees me.
“I enjoyed everything as an immortal, but the lack that came about because of that. I wanted to solve it.”
“Pain in the Sunlight.”
“And the longing for life.”
“They wanted to become human again.”
“Stand under the sun.”
“To conceive a new life.”
“They wanted to take back what they had already abandoned.”
“You said you would devote all your remaining life to serving the moon and sun.”
“Promising to the gods that if only they would get their lives back as living beings, they would devote all their remaining lives to the worship of the gods.”
“They wanted to return to being human.”
Immortal life, in the end, is bound to arouse a longing for the things that immortality has taken away. She puts one hand on each of the sculptures of the moon and sun in front of her eyes.
“Monday and Sunday vampires prayed for a long time to return to being human again.”
“They prayed together.”
“I prayed to the moon and the sun at the same time.”
“Mercy to the sun, forgiveness to the moon.”
“I prayed for an immeasurably long time.”
“I prayed for so long that even the gods couldn’t turn away.”
“The miserable group of people who gave it down because they wished for immortality, but in the end, like a grumbling child, cried out for it to be taken back.”
“I wanted to turn away, but I couldn’t.”
Luna looks at me.
“I forgave them.”
The words seemed to freeze my head.
It was a word that overturned all the assumptions I had made from Luna’s words I had heard so far.
not forgiven
did you forgive
“what… … . now what… … . sound… … ?”
Luna looks at me quietly.
“Ilwoldang are the descendants of Monday and Sunday, vampires who returned to human form. I am the lord of the Sun Moon Dang, their manager.”

The owner of Ilwoldang.
Not one of them, but the one who leads them.
Luna Artorius.
She looks at me and says, placing one hand on the moon and one on the sun.
“The will of the gods and their messenger sent down to the world by the gods of the moon and sun.”
not forgiven
was the one who forgave
“I am the incarnation of the moon and sun.”
She was more transcendent than I thought.
* * *
incarnation of the gods.
That meant that she was God herself, and that she wasn’t.
“Ilwoldang is the oldest religious group in the world. It is a group that is not allowed to do anything but worship the moon and the sun, and I have lived for many years as their protector and watcher.”
Was that the reason why Luna had no choice but to be special even within Ilwoldang?
It would be unfathomable how long Luna had existed.
Ilwoldang is a religious group.
In exchange for returning to human form, Sunday and Monday vowed to serve the gods for the rest of their lives.
Not getting involved in worldly affairs was a promise Ilwoldang made to the gods.
It was the truth of Ilwoldang that it had been passed down from generation to generation for an immeasurably long time.
And Luna was not a member of the Ilwoldang, but existed as their protector and watcher.
“for a moment… … . Then father… … .”
“Ronan is human.”
At this point, I don’t know if Luna is great or if Ronan, who married the incarnation of the gods, is great.
“Not only Ilwoldang, but also I am bound by the roles given by the gods. Do you know why I can’t meddle in the affairs of the world?”
It’s okay for Luna’s children to go out into the world, but Luna herself shouldn’t be like that.
Luna herself, as well as the descendants of Sunday and Monday, were no different from those who were paying the price of returning to humans.
“that… … . I hate to say this, but my mother tried to kill me.”
“If I had succeeded in that, I would have perished. You would have to pay the price for doing something you weren’t allowed to do.”
Did you risk not only my life, but your own extinction as well?
In a situation where she lost her son and now has to lose her daughter as well, Luna risked her existence and tried to kill me.
Because she gave up on that, Luna must still be able to exist.
“It’s just a story. Someone who has been watching humans for too long, is curious about what human life really is. In the end, I became a human because I wanted to live it… … . that… … . It’s nothing special.”
He watched humans for so long that he finally became a human.
When I said that she resembled Ellen not only in appearance but also in personality, I thought of Luna, who seemed surprised but somehow delighted with an overjoyed expression.
Luna is a god, but she is not a god, she is a strange being.
“It is over. There is nothing more to explain, nothing more you need to know.”
“How did you meet your father?”
“… … .”
At my words, Luna looked at me with her eyebrows narrowed.
“There is no reason to explain that to you.”
As if to stop scolding her, Luna pulled it off.
It’s time to go back.
I have to go back to what I have to face.
what was it like outside?
Maybe something irreversible has happened.
Luna quietly approaches me.
now to get me back.
“Lagann was lively and Ellen was calm, but both were obedient children.”
She stands in front of me and talks about her children.
“How fortunate it was that I wasn’t like you, a cheeky, arrogant child. I often thought of you when I saw you.”
“I think I heard you well.”
“Yeah, how fortunate I was that it wasn’t the children who said things I didn’t have to do… … .”
Luna smiled and put her hand on my shoulder.
“still… … . In the end, I thought that it wouldn’t have been bad if I had a son like you.”
“You still corrected it, but give birth to another one.”
“a little!”
-F*ck!
“Yuk!”
In the end, I had no choice but to stick to one.
How many times have you been hit by Hwashin so far, and how many more times have you been hit in the back?
There can be no other existence other than me who has the same experience as me.
At Lizaira, I went after only having a rare experience.
Not because this was a town controlled by the incarnations of the gods, but it was the first time I had ever lived in such a naturalistic environment.
Luna sighed heavily as she saw me earning money by saying one more word until the end.
“Close your eyes.”
Is it really time to go now?
I was told to close my eyes for a moment, so I closed them, and I was able to reach Lizaira.
Now, since you told me to close my eyes, I should be able to leave Lizira when I open them again.
“mother.”
“why.”
“Thank you.”
“… … .”
that was my sincerity
Now I know she hasn’t taught me anything.
If I immerse myself in Ilwoldang, I will be bound by the rules of Ilwoldang.
If I had learned the vision of Ilwoldang, it would have been a terrible disaster for me.
I now know that the reason I didn’t teach anything was because it was for me.
At my greeting, Luna is silent for a long time.
and.
“Reinhardt.”
“yes.”
she says goodbye
“to you.”
she quietly whispers
“There will be protection from the sun and moon.”
Something similar to what Arta said to me.
But, slightly different words.
She didn’t say anything to open her eyes.
The weight of the hand that had rested on my shoulder until now disappeared, and the air changed.
– Whii-yi-yi!
“Here… … .”
Fierce winds blowing through the mountains.
I was back at the top of a certain mountain long ago where I met Luna.
time is night.
“… … what?”
I felt a strange strange feeling.
The season is winter.
So in a windy place like this, you must feel the fierce cold that will tear your skin.
However, although the wind was fierce, I did not feel the brutal cold.
Also, no matter where I looked, there was no snow piled up in white.
and decisively.
“what… … ?”
The corpses of dead monsters were strewn about nearby.
It’s a memory from a long time ago, but I certainly haven’t forgotten it.
Crossing the Thren Mountains and searching for Lijaira, I had to fight many monsters.
One day, I got tired of fighting the monsters in this place and called Luna.
Then, as if responding to the call, Luna came to visit me, and I was able to enter Lizaira.
But the scenery is exactly the same as the moment I went to Lizaira.
The corpses of bloody monsters.
There is only one thing that can be inferred from it.
This time.
It barely flowed.
‘Trust me.’
What that really meant, I now know.
