Chapter 170
“Forbidden magic? Are you talking about necromancy?”
Arwen questioned with a puzzled expression on the ‘forbidden magic’ that Pyren had in his mouth. There are various types of magic in the world, and some of them are so terrible that they are forbidden to use.
Among them, ‘Necromancer’ is the most representative example. Necromancer is a magic that resurrects the dead as ‘undead’, and in the past, demons were mainly used in demon wars.
In particular, the higher the proficiency of necromancy, the stronger the ability of the resurrected undead target, and it may also give a great psychological pressure. In addition, due to the characteristics of the undead, they can engage in endless warfare, and while the opponent’s power is reduced, the power of the undead increases day by day.
Fortunately, it was repulsed with difficulty due to the existence of ‘Sacred Power’ and ‘World Tree’, but the remnants of it remain in this world. The biggest example is demons.
As demons possess ‘black mana’, they can also use necromancy. However, they are also a race that has suffered great damage from demons, so if you don’t know anything else, necromancy is strictly prohibited.
Recently, traces of demon worshipers secretly using necromancy are appearing everywhere, and it is mentioned in Zeno’s biography before that. Even in Xenon’s biography, necromancy is considered a magic that should never be attempted.
In addition to this, black magic that obtains power through human sacrifices or spreads terrible curses or plagues is also prohibited. In the first place, necromancer was included in black magic, so in fact, it is right to view black magic itself as forbidden magic.
“It’s not a black magic like necromancy. It’s the purest magic, but it’s forbidden because it causes terrible devastation.”
“Um… it’s hard to understand just by listening.”
Hearing Arwen’s Firen’s answer, he looked at the 14th volume of Xenon’s biography with a mysterious expression. It is not easy to predict how Pyren would do that because of how the development progressed.
If it’s not black magic like necromancy, what kind of magic is it? Moreover, there is something else that I do not understand the most.
That is, in Xenon’s biography, magic is activated without a proper explanation. So, it doesn’t teach the detailed principle, only the description that some kind of magic has been activated.
If there is a criticism in Zeno’s biography, it is the poor description of magic, but this is largely unavoidable because Isaac is not a wizard. Besides, magic is not well-established among humans.
If so, in what form is the forbidden magic narrated that Florence is doing that? Arwen glanced at Pyren, who was still waiting with a hard expression on his face, and then opened the book.
I don’t think it would be bad to read the 14th volume of Zeno’s biography and understand what happened at the same time.
‘After all, Elvenheim has been completely occupied.’
The World Tree was completely neutralized by pride and Lucifer’s wicked scheme, and Elvenheim was invaded by demons. Naturally, the warriors of Elvenheim repeatedly resisted the war, but it was difficult to stop the demons coming like a tidal wave.
If the warriors of Elvenheim defeated the 5 demons, the demons sent 10 troops, and if they were able to block that, they sent an additional 20 troops.
The polluted world tree was recognized as a kind of coordinates and became a gate, and furthermore, it became a nutrient for Diabols, so the situation can be said to be the worst of the worst. The remaining elf warriors were fighting as one, but Elvenheim was virtually destroyed.
Xenon and the others faced the demons in Elvenheim together with the Dark Elf they met by chance, but it was a fact that they retreated due to the existence of the Seven Deadly Sins.
‘The council… they were all annihilated. That’s really cool.’
The council, which can be said to be the Senate in Zeno’s biography, rejects Zeno and his party, and even tries to imprison Jin for being a demon. In many ways, it was evaluated that the bad points of the elves were expressed to the extreme.
After Kair’s death, he ran the government on behalf of Elisha, who had become half-dead, but drove Zenon and the others out of Elvenheim under the pretext of investigating. Among them, there is even a war captain named ‘Luden’, who was usually a thorn in the eyes of the parliament.
However, the council could not even properly fight the devil, and the head was cut off. Furthermore, until he was resurrected as an undead and sagged with Zenon and his party until the end.
This alone is enough reason for the Senate to be furious, but this is not enough. There is still a long way to go until the page that Perrin mentioned in the first place.
‘But what will happen if Diabols is resurrected? Isn’t it just over?’
If it goes on like this, the Great Evil Diabols will be resurrected. The World Tree has nutrients that can resurrect even the Great Evil, so they invaded Elvenheim first.
And Diabols had a very powerful force in the setting. If you can’t destroy a mountain range with a single gesture, you can even reverse the sky, so you’ll get a rough idea.
Arwen was about to immerse himself in the increasingly serious situation, but he glanced up to see Pyren. He is still waiting with a hardened face.
Slowly he arrives at the page he was referring to, but what kind of magic is there? Arwen turned the page with a deeper immersion.
‘…Eir is also joining?’

Eir is one of the representatives and warriors of the Dark Elves who appeared in Volume 13. A warrior with a ‘dark guide’, a position given to the most outstanding warriors within the dark elves.
In other words, it can be said that he had a force equal to that of Luden, the warlord. But these warriors started fighting to protect Elvenheim.
Dark elves in real life also suffered a terrible civil war long ago and were exiled, but their fondness remains strong. Albenheim is the hometown in my heart that God gave me to take root.
Therefore, it is not at all strange that the dark elves in Xenon’s biography fight for Elvenheim. And even if conflicts between ethnic groups persist, ‘Luden’ and ‘Eir’ became one for Elvenheim.
And the place to which the united hearts are heading is the polluted World Tree. Originally it was a gift from God, but now it is a giant tree that must be destroyed.
If we go back like this, Diabols will be resurrected and the world will go down the road to destruction. The two heroes, who knew this better than anyone else, had only one option left.
‘But it must be difficult to break through the Seven Deadly Sins…’

Even Lucifer alone would not be able to escape the struggle, but there are other Seven Deadly Sins as well. The other elves are helping them break through, but they know it’s impossible.
So there is only one option left. ‘Cooperation’.
It is not a combination of the two to produce a power of 2, but a power of 10 to burn down the polluted world tree.
The elf heroes, Luden and the dark elf heroes, Eir also knew that, so they made the final choice.
‘Combined…’? What ability is this again?’
The ability to become ‘one’ in the true sense, ‘unity’.
It transforms the mana, knowledge, divine powers, and finally the ego accumulated over hundreds of years into pure energy.
Using the body as firewood, Manara changes it so that it can burn fiercely.
Luden, who follows the God of Light, and Eir, who follows the God of Darkness. It may be dangerous because they have different personalities, but the ‘root’ is the same species.
[Subject to overwhelming power!]

Eventually, the two heroes, transformed into one gigantic energy body, begin to march towards the polluted world tree. Neither Luden nor Eir, the energy body advanced forward with a voice that was a mixture of the two voices.
With one light gesture, even high-ranking demons were consumed by the powerful energy and annihilated, not to mention the demons below them.
If the limit of the output that the human body can produce is 100, a pure energy body is more than that. Moreover, when all energy is lost, it naturally disappears, so it has the property of absorbing all the surrounding energy.
And that energy was supplied by absorbing the surrounding demons. Even the black mana inhabited by the devil was regarded as only ‘energy’ and it was not unreasonable to move forward.
The problem is, that ability does not discriminate against peers. According to the description, there was an explanation that even the elf warriors who supported the surroundings were sucked in.
When even the Seven Deadly Sins are embarrassed and unable to act in a completely unexpected situation, the energy body has reached the World Tree.
Diabols, feeling a sense of crisis, hurriedly gave orders to the Seven Deadly Sins, but the energy body was one step faster. Then they, or he, stretched out his hand towards the tainted world tree, and murmured softly.
[For Elvenheim.]
The appearance of the energy body ended here. After that, the perspective shifted to Zenon’s group.
Xenon and the party, who were evacuating the remaining residents of Elvenheim, moved their gaze to the place when a huge flow of mana was sensed from the side of the World Tree.
And what caught their eyes was a huge explosion that covered the entire world tree. For an instant, a bright flash of blinding light burst out, then gradually faded away.
As the light fades, the World Tree, which has been firmly in place for 3,000 years, has disappeared, leaving only a huge mushroom cloud. Due to the noble sacrifices of the two heroes, the resurrection of the Great Devil was delayed slightly.
“… …”
Arwen blinked his gray eyes as the episode ended. Like Zeno’s biography, once I fell in love with it, I read it without realizing the passage of time.
However, it must not deviate from its original purpose. She took her eyes off her book and looked in front of her.
“Have you read them all?”
Florence asked in a characteristic old-fashioned voice if he noticed that Arwen had read the important part. Arwen was embarrassed that he had read Zeno’s biography frantically, but for a moment, answered with a cough.
“I have read everything you said. The scene where Luden and Eir become pure energy and destroy the World Tree is impressive. But is this a problem?”
“…Queen. 3000 years is a very long time for our elves. When the water dries up in the upper part of the river, the lower part also exposes the bottom, so it is the same with history and tradition. Nothing is conveyed.”
Pyren explained to Arwen with a metaphor that even strangers could understand. Arwen gave a strange expression to his explanation, but immediately realized what he meant.
The fact that it has been blocked since the time of King Seonjo means that the record was intentionally made to disappear. In fact, most of the records of the civil war with the Dark Elves have been lost, but some are kept in the Holy Land.
However, the fact that the record itself was completely destroyed means that the ancestors decided it was a very serious matter. Arwen showed Pyren the 14 books and asked urgently.
“So, does this mean that what is written here is magic that has been lost in the past?”
“Yes. The name of the magic described as fusion is ‘unification’. That magic was also used in the demon wars 3,000 years ago. It transforms people into pure energy bodies, and combines those energies to create huge creatures. Only humans have become energy bodies, but in reality, multiple people are possible.”
“then…”
Arwen was stunned and couldn’t speak. At the same time, I had a question.
Is Isaac really a prophet or future man, who knows even the lost magic? And how did Pyren know that this magic existed and that it was forbidden?
Various questions circulated in my mind, but first, how did Pyren know this magic? She glanced at her book once, then asked Pyren in a low, subdued voice.
“…Then how do you know that this magic is forbidden magic? You must know why it was banned.”
“Of course. Before that, there is one more reason why I am convinced that Xenon is a prophet or a future person. It is the effect that occurred after becoming an energy body. A mass of energy without a body is destined to disappear one day. It consumes energy at random. You must have seen descriptions of demons as well as supporting warriors being sucked into the energy body.”
“Giant energy has the property of absorbing the energy around it… I’ve heard that theory before. And the Senate including you dismissed it as nonsense.”
“Because it wasn’t an absurd sound, it was the truth. Energy that can’t even be measured has the property of absorbing everything around it.”
“… …”
They lied because it was too dangerous a truth. Arwen’s expression hardened more and more.
“At the time of the Demon War, the situation was so urgent that we had no choice but to use Unity, but not after the war was over. Our ancestors came to realize that through Unity, we could use people as one huge mana. However, this fact Doesn’t even the Queen know very well what happens when this leaks out?”
“… …”
Use people as ‘mana’. The moment that fact spreads widely, there is a high probability that terrible human experiments will come and go under the water.
Not only this, but now, civilization is more advanced than at the time of the Demon War, and the population has increased several times that much. As Pyren explained, union, or union, is a magic that can be performed by several people, not just two people, as described in Zeno’s biography.
If a certain number of people execute it with nefarious intentions… it’s obvious that a horrific catastrophe has occurred. If there are things that can be called energy around them, they will not disappear and only move forward.
Since our ancestors were also expecting this, there is a very high probability that the records were completely destroyed. Arwen, who was in a more serious situation than he had expected, groaned inwardly and asked quietly.
“Before that, let me ask you one more time. How do you know about this forbidden magic?”
“My father, and my father to my grandfather, and my grandfather to my great-grandfather. Although the written records have disappeared, they have been passed down from mouth to mouth, telling us about the dangers.”
“Isn’t this really dangerous magic? Not an excuse to find Xenon?”
“If that’s the case, then why would I have been so rude to find the Queen? This book has already spread throughout the human world. It should be banned from publication as soon as possible, and furthermore, Xenon must be found.”
“Umm…”
It’s a very serious matter if you just listen to it. This magic of unity should not be known to the world, and you may end up crossing an irreversible river.
But that doesn’t mean he can’t bring Isaac. Arwen looked at the 14th volume of Xenon’s biography with worried eyes, and suddenly a question came to mind.
Could this union be used only by elves, or could other races also be able to use it? What if only elves can use it?
Then you can block it on your own line. Although some mindless people can conduct experiments without knowing anything, it is enough to punish them at that time.
Above all, if Zeno’s biography is really a ‘prophecy’, there is no big problem. It is explained that the union mentioned in Zeno’s biography is not something that dogs or cows can use, but that it is an ability that only warriors with noble mental powers can use.
Luden and Eir, described in Zeno’s biography, are heroes who choose to sacrifice to protect their hometown and furthermore to stop the resurrection of the Great Evil Diabols. Wouldn’t it be a problem if only such heroes could be united?
Of course, the theory that huge energy absorbs energy around it is dangerous. However, it is enough to control this through agreement with the leaders of each country.
‘There are still some gloomy corners…’
It was hard to believe it right away because the Senate used to do it. I could have used this as an excuse to bring Isaac.
Arwen quickly put his thoughts together, and then turned to Florence. Pyren is still waiting for her without releasing her expression.
“Pyrenees. One last question.”
“Yes, my queen.”
“Is the union you mentioned only usable by the elves, or can other races also use it?”
“It can only be used by elves who have been chosen by God. Our elves are the race with the purest mana.”
then no problem A few stupid humans might want to give it a try too, but there’s a good chance they’ll be stopped right away.
And to humans, wizards are very valuable assets. I wouldn’t do that because I’m crazy.
However, it will take some time for human testing. However, this is no different than a human sacrifice, so it should be strictly prohibited as ‘black magic’. If you violate it, you should be punished directly by Holy Church.
You don’t have to be in a hurry. Isaac didn’t write this because he wanted such a result, so you can visit him later and ask.
‘I should seriously ask if he is a real prophet.’
I’ve actually seen it, so maybe Isaac wrote it in his book. Arwen responded to Pyren, putting his weight on it.
“Then there will be no problem. If only the elves can use it, there will be no problem. As long as we control it ourselves.”
“Queen Haona. The mere fact that such forbidden magic is known will cause great trouble. Please consider it carefully. This is not a matter to be taken lightly.”
“Hmm. Why are you so anxious? Maybe you’re not confident? You who have ruled Alvenheim until now? Or…”
Arwen was speechless for a moment, then asked in a sensible voice.
“Is it because of the Dark Elf?”
Startle-
At that, Pyren frowned slightly. Arwen smiled inwardly at that reaction.
‘I knew I would.’
