Episode 370: Southern Grave (4)
The leader of the dark elves.
Darkan felt very confused now.
According to legend passed down from generation to generation, there was only one case of a doppelganger self-destructing.
‘Could it be that he couldn’t handle Roman Dmitri’s power?’
I was shocked.
This was impossible.
Regardless of the fact that Roman Dmitry had a certain reputation, the doppelganger could not be judged by modern standards in the first place.
It is different from ordinary living things.
The Dark Elf’s records say that they once captured a demonic creature that fell from a dimensional rift, and it turned out to be a doppelganger.
A creature from the demon world.
It was a monster.
The problem is that this monster is a being that exerts considerable influence in the demon world.
‘Doppelgangers are beings who have been exiled from the demon world. Their greed led to their extinction.’
A long time ago.
Doppelgangers made mistakes they shouldn’t have made.
In the demon world, demons are nothing more than lowly beings, but the problem began when a doppelganger absorbed the demon’s power.
I learned how to think for myself. gained great power.
Starting with the first doppelganger, they absorbed the power of the demons one by one, trying to become beings beyond the status of demons.
As a result.
They were annihilated.
To be exact, some of them escaped through a dimensional crack, and ended up falling into the realm of the Dark Elves and becoming their slaves.
It was the truth about the doppelganger that the people of this world could not know.
Therefore, unlike people who were simply surprised, Darkan’s shock could not help but increase.
‘… … The doppelganger, who even accepted the power of a demon, could not handle the power of Roman Dmitri, a human, and collapsed.’
It was clear.
It was the collapse of a doppelganger.
The Dark Elves conducted various experiments with captured doppelgängers, but they appeared to collapse when they accepted power they could not handle.
What does that mean?
This meant that the doppelganger, who accepted even the power of a demon, could not handle the power of Roman Dmitri, who was just a human.
I was mesmerized.
I couldn’t believe it.
I knew that I was a being blessed with the blessings of the World Tree, but I never thought that a person like this existed in the world.
It was shocking. Darkan looked at Roman Dmitri blankly, and when his eyes met his, he hastily bowed his head.
“Savior. The doppelganger self-destructed because it could not handle the power of the savior. You have passed the test. “No one will be able to dispute this result.”
Okay.
The dark elves opened the way.
The trials of the mirror.
It was proof that it had been passed in a legitimate manner.
Roman Dmitry turned his head and looked at the warriors of Valhalla who had not yet grasped the situation.
“I will now enter the grave of the South. “Those who have doubts about these results should come forward now.”
No one.
Didn’t come forward.
They saw it clearly too.
Roman Dmitry defeated numerous challengers with overwhelming force, and even the final mirror trial had the shocking result of the opponent’s self-destruction. Good
There was no need for an explanation from this dark elf.
Even just looking at the current situation, Roman Dmitry has proven himself worthy of looking into the truth of Valhalla.
I turned my head.
The competition was meaningless anymore.
Roman Dmitry walks inside.
As soon as Roman Dmitry and his soldiers passed by, the dark elves blocked the road as if they could no longer enter or leave.
* * *
Grave of the South.
It was in the basement of the test stage.
Darkan was in charge of guidance.
Upon reaching a certain area, Darkan spoke to the soldiers who followed Roman Dmitri.
“From here, only qualified people can enter.”
“Wait here.”
The order was accepted.
This trip to Valhalla was accompanied only by Chris, Kevin, and some of the private soldiers.
They did not respond to Darkan’s orders, but when Roman Dmitri spoke, they formed a line and became alert to the surroundings.
I started walking again.
yet.
Arrived at destination.
Darkan said while looking at the space filled with darkness.
“I hope the Savior gets what he wants.”
“Good work.”
I went inside.

Moment.
I felt a magical energy flowing through my body.
Roman Dmitry tried to stop it by raising Mana, but he immediately realized that the Southern Tomb was a process to identify himself.
The tombs of the South are not in hidden places.
It was a place that everyone could enter if they wanted to, and because of that, the ancestors of Valhalla had strong defenses in place to prevent anyone from entering.
If only there was a legitimate way to enter the Warrior’s Trial.
The Mana energy that had just identified Roman Dmitri confirmed the identity of the person entering and decided whether to eliminate him or not.
The result was, of course, passing.
As the energy of mana slowly disappeared, Roman Dmitry walked deeper into the interior.
The basement was quite deep.
After moving for a while, I was able to discover the huge gate blocking the road and the giant statues guarding the area.
The shape of the statue was menacing.
It seemed to be about 7 to 8 meters tall, and like the warriors of Valhalla, it had a muscular body and was holding a huge weapon commensurate with its size.
What if the primary gateway that checks entry and exit is magical power?
This place demonstrated the Valhalla Empire’s strong will to allow only those who were qualified to pass through physical force.
Squeak, squeal.
The statues turned their heads.
Red eyes turned to Roman Dmitry.
[…] … A person with impure intentions… … You can’t pass through this place.]
The voice rang out.
Roman Dmitri checked the energy rising from them in detail.
[…] … Eligibility confirmed… … I will open the way.]
Thump, thump.
The giant statue moved.
They grabbed the door handle and pulled it hard from side to side.
Rumbling.
The door opened.
at las.
It was the moment when I stepped into the hidden truth of Valhalla.
The interior was simpler than expected.
It was an underground cave carved out to suit its purpose, and the space was divided into two parts.
The charnel house where the remains of the Emperors of Valhalla are kept and a space where their traces are recorded.
Roman Dmitry had no reason to check the charnel house.
We went straight to the records room, and in a smaller space than expected, documents presumed to have been left behind by the emperors were placed on well-organized bookshelves, sorted by category.
among them.
Roman Dmitry chose one document.
[Canelas Valhalla]
First record.
He’s right.
He was the one who created the Southern Tomb, which made Valhalla leap into an empire.
* * *
Grave of the South.
The reason why that place was created had nothing to do with Sim Deuk.
The records left by Canelas Valhalla made its purpose clear from the beginning.
[I needed a space to leave the truth of Valhalla to future generations. The tomb in the south was built for that purpose, and unless you are of royal blood, you will not be able to enter it. The only exception is those who passed the test. As warriors of Valhalla, they determine that they are qualified to look into the truth, and will specifically share the truth that we will accumulate for generations.]
truth.
It was just as Carlos said.
He said that here is the history of Valhalla, the ugly truth of Valhalla.
[The real starting point for Valhalla being recognized as an empire was the war with the Kingdom of Hector. By overthrowing Hector, which was classified as a powerful nation at the time, people evaluated Valhalla as having a power comparable to that of the Kronos Empire. My thoughts were no different. We confined ourselves in the harsh environment of the southern jungle and believed that there was no country on the Salamander Continent that could defeat us. But soon my arrogance was shattered.]
It was strange.
Writing expresses the emotions of the person who wrote it, and Canelas Valhalla showed something like a strange fear.
[One day, the Kronos Empire sent someone. They showed ‘some’ of their power, and at that moment I knew that the power of Valhalla could not deal with the Kronos Empire. But strangely enough, the Kronos Empire did not wish for the destruction of Valhalla. They proposed to coexist in the future as the continent’s two major mountain ranges and hoped for a secret cooperative relationship that would not be revealed on the surface. I couldn’t refuse that offer. It is clear that the price of refusal will be the destruction of Valhalla. At a time when people were blessing the leap of the Valhalla Empire, we held Kronos’ dirty hands.]
It was a shocking truth.
The Emperor of Valhalla is now dead.
People claimed a connection between the previous emperor and the Kronos Empire, and according to Canelas Valhalla’s records, their relationship lasted for a very long time.
If this fact were revealed to the world, there would be an uproar.
Although it was said that it was forced on Valhalla, it was an undeniable truth that the Valhalla Empire, known as the two great mountain ranges of the continent, actually bowed to the Kronos Empire.
It was only the beginning part.
I only checked some of it, but I thought I knew why Carlos said it was the ugly truth.
but.
The shocking truth was still only the introduction.
[Valhalla needed time. It’s time to gain the strength to stand against the Kronos Empire and defend ourselves against their threats. However, shortly after signing the agreement, the Kronos Empire made this proposal to Valhalla. Let’s create a system that systematically eliminates everyone except the two empires. It was bound to require the help of Valhalla, because it originated from the tradition of Valhalla.]
next.
[That’s how ranking was born.]
* * *
It was different from the truth that people knew.
People around the world think that rankings were born from the tradition of Valhalla, where people like to compete and record, but the truth is that the Kronos Empire’s proposal created a specific system.
In fact, Roman Dmitry once had doubts about this.
Ordinary people accept the existing system as is, but if you look at it in detail, there are bound to be questions about the birth of rankings.
It was a simple problem.
Think about it.
Which country benefits the most from rankings?
This is the Valhalla Empire.
As the Valhalla Empire manages rankings through temples, they have the opportunity to dominate talented players first.
In fact, Roman Dmitry also received an offer from the Valhalla Empire.
The problem is that the Kronos Empire is not aware of this fact, and they just stood by and allowed the rankings to take root.
No, I actually supported it.
By accepting the ranking system, they ranked themselves and revealed to the world the strongest of the empire.
[The Kronos Empire said that there are two benefits to the empire from the ranking system. The first is to indirectly reveal the power of the empire and tie up the kingdoms on the continent, and the second is to take advantage of the talented people born throughout the continent. We accepted their offer. A ranking was created by emphasizing Valhalla’s traditions, and the ranking quickly became a source of pride for Valhalla.]
Information obtained through rankings.
It was shared with Kronos.
This meant that not only did Valhalla benefit, but the Kronos Empire was also benefiting from the ranking system.
[Descendants of Valhalla will be disappointed by this record. They will be angry and despair that Valhalla actually originated from a shabby reality. However, the reason I am leaving this record is because only by knowing the truth can we oppose the ambitions of the Kronos Empire. At the time when it threatened Valhalla, the Kronos Empire already had the power to conquer the continent. However, they haven’t revealed their true power, and I think that has a clear purpose. Descendants of Valhalla. Although I have bowed to the power of Kronos, I hope that you will lead Valhalla in the right direction.]
With that.
Canelas Valhalla’s record is over.
* * *
It was a complicated truth.
Kronos intervened in the history of Valhalla.
And the truth is that Canelas Valhalla was worried about the future of Valhalla and created this southern tomb.
the problem is.
This alone did not completely resolve the question.
Roman Dmitry, the previous emperor of Valhalla, visited this place to find out why he died in vain in a rebellion.
‘After the death of Canelas Valhalla, there is a possibility that the Kronos Empire has completely taken over the Valhalla Imperial Court. According to his records, it is quite possible, but that alone cannot explain the death of the previous emperor.’
The death of the previous emperor.
The ancestors of Valhalla and the Kronos Empire.
No one benefited.
If the revival of Valhalla had been wanted, the previous emperor would not have ascended to the position of emperor in the first place, and even if it was the Cronos Empire’s intention, there was no reason to kill him.
The Valhalla Emperor was clearly hostile to Roman Dmitry.
If they abandoned him and installed Duke Vieto as emperor, the Kronos Empire could have faced the Valhalla and Dmitri alliances in the future.
Is there really a need for that?
If the puppet called Emperor Valhalla is managed well, the process of achieving their goals will become more convenient.
It was a series of questions.
Who elevated the 14th son to the position of emperor.
What is the reason for making him an emperor and then abandoning him?
It was clear that there was someone behind it.
Except for the existence behind the scenes, everything about the former Emperor of Valhalla could not be explained.
widely.
Picked up something.
That’s right.
‘Cortes Valhalla.’
Father of the previous emperor.
It was the record of the person closest to the truth, who made his 14th son emperor through a complex process of rebellion.
