0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 176
A new life bloomed, and the wasteland became thickly forested, reminiscent of the Amazon jungle.
Eltihi, Mier, and my men who were next to me all witnessed the scene in amazement.
‘What, what is it? This.’
I was equally surprised.
Because I didn’t know that the power of creation could be this much.
“Ah. Dear Rahal.”
Then Mier suddenly knelt down in front of me and bowed his head.
“How dare I doubt you.”
“…?”
“At first, when I heard that Rahal had appeared, I did not believe it. Because I thought you couldn’t come in a human body. But making life blossom and controlling it is something that only you, Rahal, can do. Only now will this servant see you.”
Then, one by one, my men bowed in awe.
“Didn’t I tell you? Aslan is Rahal.”
“Queen Eltihi! What disrespect to you!”
“What, what?”
“That is Rahal. I mean your creator. Raise your words.”
“…”
Eltihi stared at Mier as if he was dumbfounded.
“There is no need to make a fuss about it. Now that Jim has brought the forest back together, its life force will spread far and wide. Don’t let the forest disappear again due to demonic power, Mier.”
“My people always follow your orders. I will risk my life to protect the forest.”
I nodded slowly.
Then, all of a sudden, I had this idea.
If this life force is what gives life to other things, wouldn’t it be possible to breathe life into something like a giant statue?
* * *
Dump-!
“Mo, Moderus. You bastard…”
Moderus let out a deep breath.
It was a fierce battle.
Of course.
It was a fight to the death with Babylon.
Even this guy had a separate legion.
“It is a tenacious instrument. How many times have I not told you that this is for Remegeton-sama?”
“Shut up! You’re just crazy Aren’t you the one hunting our Babylon for the non-existent Remegeton? Rather, don’t you want to kill us and become Lemegeton?”
Moderus frowned and slapped his opponent in the face with his foot.
“Look smart. There Lemegeton is waiting for you.”
“…!”
When Remegeton looked at the sealed coffin, something like a black stalk rose out of it and consumed Babylon in an instant.
Seeing the now familiar sight, Moderus turned around, pressing down on Babylon’s parched corpse with his feet.
“With this, all Babylon has been sacrificed to Lord Remegeton.”
“Yes. You worked hard.”
“So, is Remegeton resurrecting now?”
“Um- not yet.”
“What?”
Moderus raised his voice.
“Didn’t I say that Remegeton could be resurrected if we captured all of Babylon?”
“Yes. You’re right.”
“But why…!”
“It is as you just said. ‘All’ Babylon must be dedicated to Remegeton.”
“What is that…”
Moderus stopped what he was saying and looked at Tercana.
Isn’t Moderus also a member of Babylon?
In other words, the meaning of everything included Moderus.
“Me, offer me as a sacrifice?”
“Yes. You are dedicating yourself to the resurrection of Remegeton-sama, which you so much desire.”
Moderus grabbed Tercana by the neck and lifted her up.
“Was this your intention from the beginning? Are you trying to kill me?”
“I was just telling you how to resurrect Remegeton. I’ve never lied to you. To resurrect Remegeton, you too must be sacrificed.”
“This guy-!”
Tercana looked at Moderus and sneered at her.
“Khehehehe. When she sacrificed her comrades, she showed no hesitation, all loyalty. Do you feel regretful that you are about to throw yourself?”
“This guy-!!”
Quaang-!!
Moderus pinned Tercana to the ground and crushed her bastard’s head with her foot, knocking it out in one blow.
“Whoa- Whoa-”
It happened so quickly that Tercana did not dare to resist.
It was when she looked down at Tercana’s corpse, her head exploding as she breathed heavily.
“You don’t have to be so angry.”
Tercana’s voice came from behind.
Even though she apparently just killed her with her own hands.
“You······.”
“Whoops. I already knew that one day you would kill me. Unfortunately, I’m not someone you can kill so easily.”
“Tercana.”
“With this, your will has been clearly conveyed to Remegeton-nim. You had no intention of sacrificing yourself for Remegeton-sama from the beginning.”
“!?”
Moderus clenched his fists and ran to Terrcana once more.
But-
Chow-!
Something grabbed his body.
No. To be precise, he began to wrap himself around himself.
Just as he did with the other Babylonians.
“This, this!”
“Please be Remegeton’s last sacrifice, Lady Moderus.”
“Do you think I’m going to get hit by something like this!”
Moderus growled and cut off his stems.
However, new stems continued to appear and wrapped around him, until he was unable to move his entire body.
“We know that you fought a fierce battle with the Babylon you captured earlier. Even Lemegeton knows about it.”
“What, what?”
“If it was your original strength, you could have pruned these stems, but now it seems difficult.”
“Te, Tercana! All right, release this right now! If I die, Remegeton’s cause cannot be accomplished!”
“Whoops. Sorry. I dare not stand against Remegeton’s power. And aren’t you too proud? If Remegeton is resurrected, it is enough to create a new Babylon like you.”
“!?”
Moderus resisted to the end and tried his best not to be sucked into it.
But he couldn’t help it.
If only Ter Cana would cut off these stalks with her sword…!
“Te, Tercana. Buy, live I’ll give you anything you want!”
“This. You show the ugly side to the end. Still, I thought he had charisma as the leader of the Babylonians. Disappointing.”
“Tercana!!”
“And one more thing.”
Tercana crouched down in front of Moderus, who was slowly being sucked in, and spoke in a whisper.
“You can’t give me what I want. I want great power. Power enough to crush that cheeky Aslan.”
“…!”
Chow ah!!
“aaa!!”
Moderus screamed and was absorbed into Remegeton’s coffin.
After the meal, a red light leaked from Remegeton’s coffin, and soon a dull voice resounded from there.
[It was a long wait.]
“Dear Remegeton.”
[Are you the one who woke me up in this dirty and ugly place?]
“That’s right. You are the King of Darkness.”
[I will acknowledge your credit. After I go out into the world again and destroy the whole continent, I will build a new world on top of it.]
“May your will always be done.”
It was Tercana who knelt before him.
A sinister smile appeared on his bowed face.
Because he finally realized that the time he wanted had arrived.
‘Wait a minute, Aslan. I will tell you what despair is.’
* * *
“…”
“Your majesty. Why?”
“It is nothing.”
I think I got chills, maybe because of my mood.
Whew. I’m used to it now
Some other guys must be plotting to kill me behind my back.
Like Horace, the snarky man who holds all the power of the imperial palace.
“…?”
As I stared at him, Horace lowered his head in disbelief.
It’s like a snail’s inspiration.
“Your majesty. Welcome to Arentia, the city of artists.”
Arentia was a very strange place.
There is a long river that flows along the Jastra area, and in the middle of the very wide stem, there is a section that rises like an isolated island.
It was there that the Ren race settled and reached what it is today.
They are called the tribe of art, so great artworks are overflowing here.
Art pieces from Arentia are often sold at a fairly high price outside.
“I didn’t know that His Majesty would personally visit our city. Did you not like the gift we sent you? If so, let us show you the artworks we are most proud of.”
“No. No need to. I just came because I had something to check around here.”
Arentia was located deep in Jastra’s realm, so it was quite cumbersome to bring the knights all the way here.
That’s why they planted a portal here in advance.
That way you will be able to move very freely.
“Which one are you looking for…”
“You want to know a lot, Bruen.”
“I-I dare to disrespect Your Majesty…! Please spare my life.”
Anyone who sees it will know that I am a tyrant.
“I won’t kill my people with just that.”
“Yes. Thank you again.”
Perhaps because it was a country of art, their fighting skills were poor.
If it wasn’t for this wide river, it would have been plundered by other races and disappeared.
So when the Berak Empire reached out to Jastra, they suddenly asked for surrender.
It’s to protect yourself.
“Leave your legs. Jim will scout the surroundings with the Knights.”
“Yes. I will order the bridge to be built immediately.”
The reason I came here today was to find the door.
‘Really, this guy’s door makes people train mutts several times.’
It would be nice if it just came out at once.
This guy’s door wasn’t coming out easily.
So I had to come all the way here and explore the surroundings.
‘Ugh. I don’t like the Jastra area because there are too many bugs.’
I caught a lot of monsters that looked awful and ate them, but I still hated bugs.
It was the time when he was about to go out of Arentia with the Knights.
“Hmm?”
My eyes went to the huge stone statue in the center of the city here.
Then Bruen, who was playing the role of king here, said.
“This is a dragon statue that is the pride of our race. It is made of Asriltadium, and here it is called Caryldium, the Lord of the Sky.”
[The great statue, Caryldium.]
-A dragon statue made of the mysterious material Asriltodium.
-Even just looking at the majestic and majestic stone statue gives you the effect of restoring your physical strength.
It was the first time he had come to the information window so kindly just because he had seen the statue.
And if you just look at it, it even has the effect of recovering your physical strength.
But. Sometimes the great statues I see in the game have buffs.
“If Your Majesty speaks, I would like to build a new statue here in honor of your great achievement.”
“Then what about this dragon?”
“It would be okay to store it somewhere else, but since it’s not appropriate, we can break it down, melt it down, and use it again. Your Majesty is here, do you dare to occupy the center of the city with a dragon statue like this?”
Bruen lived with flattery on his lips.
It was like I was really trying to break this thing down and put my statue on top of it.
But it seems too wasteful to break this.
‘For a moment. Could this be…’
From noble mtl dot com
Suddenly, a brilliant idea came to my mind.
“If I don’t need this statue, will Jim take it?”
“······Yes?”
Bruen’s eyes began to shake violently.
