“…”
Moderus was at a loss for words at the mushroom-shaped clouds that seemed to cover the sky.
The land he had worked so hard to create a new Babylon and a legion of demons was quickly swept away.
“Wait, how on earth is that kind of power possible?”
He stopped by to check if he was carrying out his mission, but it was Moderus who was standing at a distance and observing the situation as Aslan and the Imperial Army suddenly attacked.
Because of that thick Terishna, I thought that the Imperial Army would not be able to approach it recklessly.
Aslan didn’t care, he suddenly threw Meteor and wiped out all the demons there.
Thanks to that, the aftermath of the storm hit even Moderus.
If he hadn’t done his best to block it, his existence would have disappeared in an instant, just like them.
“It is indeed the power of God.”
It was Tercana’s horse behind him.
“Decades of our demons. No, it is Black Meteor that has been painstakingly made for hundreds of years. But Aslan made it so easily, and all at once. It was even more powerful than Black Meteor.”
“…”
I had nothing to say because it wasn’t wrong.
“That’s Rahal we have to deal with, Lord Moderus.”
“Okay. That kind of power is possible because it’s Rahal.”
At one time, I felt sorry for myself for thinking that I could defeat Aslan only with the power of Babylon. If you are a strong person who can use such power at will, Babylon and the power of the devil are not enough.
So,
“Moreover, Remegeton-sama must come back.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Whoops. You’re right.”
Tercana created a portal behind her back.
“But I can’t help but regret it. I’ve scattered a lot of magic stones here to create a demon army.”
It was heartbreaking.
How many resources are there?
It would take a considerable amount of time to demonize a land of this size.
“It’s okay though. This, too, will be resolved if Remegeton is resurrected.”
“I guess so.”
Moderus walked into the portal.
But Tercana did not follow him.
“Why aren’t you coming in?”
“Ah. Please go first. I have something to check.”
Tercana closed the portal Moderus entered and opened a new portal to enter.
She still has a sinister smile on her face.

Kwakkwakkwak-!!
“Lung, Your Majesty!!”
“His Majesty fell to the ground!!”
The knights were shouting urgently.
Fortunately, only the ground I was stepping on collapsed and the knights did not fall together.
Hee hee hee!
This foal had gone on a rampage, and it had happened for no reason.
But thanks to the flight skills on my cape, I was flying through the air after hooking and falling. So slowly, my horse and I were on our way back up to where we were.
“I almost fell behind because of you.”
Purr-!!
He should have shown signs of remorse at my scolding, but this cheeky guy came out with a red flag.
“Is this how it comes out?”
I got off the horse and tried to drop him down.
“Where to fly alone, then.”
Fu, purr-!!
Sensing that, the horse struggled and shook her head from side to side.
Then he looked up at me with the most pitiful expression in the world.
It’s like asking for forgiveness just once.
“Anyway, there are a lot of fears.”
Usually, he’s a guy who puts on all sorts of bluffs.
“If you fold it one more time, then there will be no soup. Got it?”
The horse nodded her head eagerly.
“It will be like that from the beginning.”
But wait.
I was so used to it from before that I couldn’t think of it well, but how could this guy understand everything I said?
I mean, he’s a very strange guy.
“Your majesty!”
“Your majesty!! Are you all right!”
As I casually climbed back up from the bottom, the knights swarmed around me.
“Don’t make a fuss.”
I fluttered my cloak excessively and lightly landed on the ground with the horse.
‘Is the land here now unstable because of Meteor?’
My heart was still beating because I didn’t know that the ground would suddenly go out.
‘But I think other places are fine.’
Only the ground I was stepping on collapsed.
That is,
‘What’s down here?’
Isn’t there such a reasonable doubt?
It dawned on me that maybe what I was looking for might be down here.
“Raphael.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Make a way down here. I need to know what lies down here.”
Raphael made his way down the pit with the Magic Troops.
I went down there with the knights.
‘It’s not as deep as I thought.’
It was about the height of a 5-story apartment building.
Dig-!
Thanks to Raphael and the magic corps manifesting magic, the dark interior was brightly lit.
“Your majesty. Look over there.”
Aaron, who had come down with me, pointed in front of me.
There was something that looked like the roots of a giant tree had landed there.
There are no trees up here.
As I got closer,
Squeak-.
As the thick stems moved, the path opened.
Something inside it was glowing with a green light.
However,
Chow ah-!!
The road that seemed to open suddenly closed and tree trunks rose in all directions.
In an instant, they blocked the entrance we came down from, and even broke the road made of magic.
As a result, only the knights who had not yet reached the bottom were tied up there.
Kwak Kwa Kwak-!!
The stems, which blocked our retreat, attacked back and forth.
The knights hit by the stem were tied up and flying around, and the formation collapsed, causing a great uproar.
Kwajik-! Kwa-kwak-!!
My men raised their swords and slashed at the stems, cutting them off, but they continued to regenerate no matter how much they cut them.
And since the stems were attacking, I also blocked them with the shield of protection.
However,
Aww-!!
I wrapped the protective shield that was protecting my body, and these stems pulled me hard inside.
“Your majesty!!”
Aaron called me urgently, but I was already sucked deep inside.
To the extent that the voices of the knights could no longer be heard.
“…”
Purr…
I froze for a moment.
It was the same as my words.
The two of us looked around quietly.
Fortunately, it wasn’t dark thanks to that mysterious greenish sphere.
“As expected, you came here.”
At that time, it felt like my heart sank at the sound of someone’s voice.
Upon closer inspection, Tercana was there.
“I expected you to come here.”
Did you know I’d be here?
“Aren’t you here to take this life force?”
Life force?
I had no idea what it was.
“This power of life, the power that Rahal bestowed on you when you first created this Jastra realm. You put a lot of effort into this place to corrupt this power into demoniac, but in the end, you destroyed it all with your own hands.”
Tercana continued with a characteristic laugh.
“But you didn’t have to. No matter how strong this power you created is, no matter how much demonic energy you throw at it, it doesn’t budge. After all, it seems that the power of the demons is too small to exceed your power as the Creator.”
“…”
What.
Does this guy really think of me as Rahal?
Even this is the power that Rahal gave when he created the Jastra realm?
“The realm of Jastra is already overflowing with life. So this mystical power has been dormant for a long time. However, since you reappeared, it has been shining strongly. To return to the owner. I tried to take it, but Rahal, I could never touch it without you.”
While explaining so kindly, Tercana spoke to me.
“Hey Rahal. The Dark God will soon be resurrected. The day is not far off when Remegeton will once again spread its black wings and trample this continent.”
Remegeton makes your teeth tremble just by hearing its name.
When he was resurrected, the game was virtually over.
It’s because the developers created an event called Remegeton’s Resurrection with the intention of ending the real game.
In other words, with our own strength, we cannot stop Remegeton, the true god of darkness.
“Are you going to just leave it alone and watch it?”
So isn’t there anything I can do about it?
“But you can prevent his resurrection. Instead, you have to throw one thing away.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It is to give up the light and become darkness. If you absorb Remegeton, you will be able to become an eternal darkness that no one dares to touch. I will make it for you.”
Tercana.
It appears every time in the game, but its exact purpose has not been revealed in detail. He appears as a helper and sometimes as a hindrance, harassing the player.
However, in many endings, Tercana did not reveal what her true purpose was.
So, it was often said that there was a hidden quest about Tercana that users hadn’t discovered yet.
“Tercana.”
“Yes, Rahal.”
I wanted to find out what purpose he had and why he was suddenly here to seduce me.
“What trick is it?”
However, because of this guy’s bravado, the words didn’t go well.
“Do you dare to mock Jim with that cunning tongue?”
“It’s not like that. I want to give you a chance to have the power of Remegeton.”
The more he said that, the hotter my bravado burned.
“You are cheeky. Why should I have such power?”
“Oh, that kind of power? You mean Remegeton?”
“In the face of Jim’s power, Remegeton’s power is ultimately useless. But were you just trying to swindle your burden with something like that?”
“…”
“Whether Remegeton is resurrected or not, Jim doesn’t care. But this is one thing you should know.”
I could see Tercana slowly swallowing dry saliva.
“If Remegeton resurrects and appears in front of me without knowing his subject, then I will reap its power without hesitation. Forever, never to live again. Tell them not to refuse my last mercy.”
Tercana nodded and hit her back.
“No matter how strong you are, you cannot ignore Remegeton’s power.”
“Then bring him and see. I will trample that insignificant power mercilessly right in front of your eyes.”
“…”
So, without a word, Tercana rode her portal and disappeared.
Only then did I let out a sigh of relief.
“That gloomy bastard.”
Ter Cana is such a sneaky bastard that she’s the perfect place to get her back in the head if you mistrust her. So it was best to stay away from him as much as possible.
“You mean this is the power of life?”
I put my hand on the power shining brightly green.
“For a moment. Didn’t Tercana say that only Rahal could touch it?”
It was when I muttered,
Kwaaa-!!
The life force, which was a small sphere, gradually increased in size, and approached as if to swallow me.
