Chapter 618
Since we had no interest in camping among corpses and wounded, we left the self-proclaimed elite army of Rudra in the forest and attempted a night flight. There was no problem because I became a body that did not feel tired from not sleeping one night anyway, and that was because Sa-nyeom-nim was the same.
Of course, it did not include the opinion of the private car, which had to suffer the most.
If you twist it, you should have been born as a human, not a beast that can’t speak. Or do you have a talent for communicating like Leica? In the middle of the painful flight of the two of them, and only one of them, Sa-nyeom, who was looking at our (old) camp that was moving away, slowly opened his mouth.
“You didn’t hesitate to deal with the same race.”
In order to prepare for any unexpected danger, I was flying as if I was holding Sa-Nyeom from behind, so I could hear Sa-Nyeom’s voice clearly even though I didn’t make a particularly loud noise.
I wanted to understand his intentions, but since he was a person who did not change his emotions, it was difficult to infer the inner meaning with only his voice and the crown of his head. I couldn’t find anything to say, so I was silent, but then I looked forward again and continued my conversation naturally.
“Even many heroes and warriors who have left their names in history have had a hard time from time to time. Because of that, even though they made great achievements, they died in vain at the hands of the same people.”
Saying, “It’s a relief that you don’t seem to be like that,” Sa-Nyeom nodded as if he understood something, and quietly stared at the dark night sky.
I didn’t know if those words were spoken to convince myself, or if they were mere sentiments. Based on Sa-Nyeom’s actions I’ve seen so far, it seemed closer to the latter than the former.
“Should we finish talking about what we were talking about before being interrupted by them?”
After that, even after a short delay, since he was silent, I decided to finish the story I was talking about before being interrupted by Rudra’s army rather than worrying about my unknown intentions.
“You mean the story of the price the demon king is paying?”
“Yes. Compared to what you said earlier, it seems that your expression wasn’t that bright.”
Sa-nyeom responded to my question as if he had come up with it belatedly, answering calmly as if it were something insignificant…
“Ah, I was thinking about how the Demon King could turn back time.”
What came out of Sa-nyeom-nim’s mouth was a calm ‘Ah, I see.’ It was not something to be skipped over. I had already concluded that the return of the demon king would have been based on the power of the evil spirit, but it sounded as if the premise was denied.
“Are you saying it might not have been reversed by using the power of an evil spirit?”
Although it was a hypothesis I came up with alone, Sa-Nyeom-nim also decided that it would be difficult to exert such an influence on anyone other than the evil god after much consideration. It is normal that there should be no reason to worry like that now.
Possibly such emotions were contained in her voice, and she spoke in a trembling tone without even realizing it. I added an explanation along with the facial expression.
“The explanation wasn’t enough. What I was worried about was not about the tools the demon lord used, but about how he would have known how to use them.”
“…a tool?”
Unexpectedly, wondering what this meant, I met Sa-Nye-nim’s eyes, and fortunately, a comment was attached.
“Like using an ax to cut down trees, a tool called the power of the evil god was used to turn back time. There’s nothing strange about that, but… Whether it’s a knife or an axe, in the end, a person who knows how to use a tool should use it as a proper power. How to exert power. Even things made by humans are like that, but what about the power of a god?”
“Ah…”
“I can’t use it the way I want without any advice or teaching. That’s what I was thinking about.”
After hearing the explanation, I understood. She questioned the part that I had thought simple until now, that there must be some means of control, such as the magic tools they use that contain the remnants of evil spirits.
And the question was valid. They are the guys who can’t perfectly control what they want even to spread a similarity close to a degraded copyboard and turn a normal person into a monster. On such a subject, the fact that it is possible to send an entire world back to the past seems inconsistent.
In the world before regression, wouldn’t research have progressed enough to make that possible? I also think that such research will not end in 10 or 20 years, and there is no way that other species have been sucking their fingers in the meantime, so I wonder if their heads were broken right away.
“Isn’t there a possibility that the evil spirit contained in the corpse of the evil god has already eaten away the demon lord in the previous world and spreads its own power?”
“If the corpse was a body, it could have been, but demons don’t weaken themselves in that way. The odds seem slim.”
“How about the possibility that you can return to the past at least once through a deal with the demon lord after finding consciousness like Mr. Sa-nyeom?”
“There are too many uncertain elements from the point of view of the evil god.
It is a force so great that the whole world can go back to the past without feeling any sense of incongruity. Even the gods didn’t even notice it, so they didn’t even mention it, so even the evil gods couldn’t repeat a return of this scale at their own pleasure.
After that, for a long time, I exchanged various hypotheses, and only unanswered worries continued, but I did not feel particularly depressed.
It was better than going on a boring night flight in silence. After talking all night, detailed information and speculation came to the conclusion of borrowing the kingdom and empire’s collective intelligence, and a destination began to emerge from the edge of our field of vision.
Even for me, seeing the outline of a city with extraordinary emotions made me feel like I was back in my hometown.
◈
Levien, who returned after a long absence, has changed a lot in the past few months.
Not only most of the repairs inside the city were finished, but people were also full of people, and above all, a flying dragon station was so large that its presence could be clearly felt even in the sky.
Thanks to that, I had to circle the sky for a while because I didn’t know where to land, thinking only of the flying dragon station I had temporarily set up in the military training ground. Fortunately, after a while, a separate signal came from the resistance and I was able to settle down safely.
I looked around, wondering if there might be a familiar face, but they were all new faces. Thanks to that, I was embarrassed for no reason, so I was quietly waiting for someone to take Mr. Sasyeom away, and then Sir Radnell Vandes appeared in person from afar.
It doesn’t look like the wrinkles on her face have increased. Rather, it’s not wrinkles, but it’s to the point where I wonder if it’s increased in size. It might just be misunderstanding because of the armor he was wearing.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Eldmia. Every time I hear about your achievements, I thought I should congratulate you the next time we meet. Do you know how many congratulations have accumulated?”
But people haven’t changed. It was a stark contrast to Ragnis, who showed a dramatic change. Well, I’m already a novice, so I wonder what’s going to change now.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Sir Radnellvandes. I’m relieved to see you’re still in good health.”
“What about health, I feel three times older because I am helping the Marquis of Levien.”
Sir Radnell Vandes, who looked at Mr. Sa-Nyeom with his sharp eyes while laughing with a smile that looked like a person, deliberately took an example to Sa-Nye-nim with a serious face.
“It’s an honor to meet you. My name is Radnell Vandes. Until we say otherwise, we’ll do our best to accommodate you without any inconvenience.”
“Thank you. I can’t properly introduce myself because I don’t know myself, so I’d like you to just call me Sa-nyeom.”
Lord Radnell Vandes’ gaze turned to me for an instant at Sa-nyeom’s calm reply, but I finished my answer with a short nod.
“Then I’ll go to the capital now. Sir Radnell Vandes, please take good care of Sa-nyeom.”
“Oh, are you going right away without even having time to relax? Do you want to have a cup of tea and rest?”
“Somehow, there is something to take care of in the capital city, so there is no time to rest yet. I will come back as soon as it is organized.”
I have to find out about the people of the Order on the Yan Tier side, check the by-products of the dragons, check how long it will take before I get new equipment, fix or clean up what I’m wearing, and so on. If I don’t show my achievements so far by showing my face to Master and Seneran for the first time in a while, a troublesome situation will unfold against Seneran, who rolls on the floor without dignity.
As soon as I arrived in the capital, I sorted out the things I had to deal with first, climbed into my car, and bowed lightly to the two of them.
“Thank you. See you later.”
It was a greeting that I often received on a regular basis, but this time I answered with sincerity rather than empty words.
“I just did what I had to do.”
It was too much gratitude to hear from God who sacrificed himself for love like Hahae.
