As Kate left for the underground temple, I slowly organized the content for the next volume and side story.
The next book tells the story of what happens after the war, Lily’s deteriorating condition, and Jin and his colleagues struggling to somehow cure him.
Diabols, the Great Evil, pierced Lilly with a wedge and the vessel was destroyed as a last resort, and the wedge is still embedded in the heart, making it difficult for even the gods to solve it.
It is difficult to solve here, but the solution itself is possible. The problem is that Lily’s death is inevitably included in the middle process.
Since the vessel is already contaminated and there is no answer, only the soul is taken out and stored, and then the soul is delivered to the newly born child.
However, the unfortunate situation arises that all memories are lost. So, I decided to save it somehow, but even this didn’t work.
First of all, if you leave Lily as it is, her entire body will be polluted and she will become a demon. The birth of demons took place in this process, and it was a corruption that even the world tree could not withstand.
Above all, is it right to control people’s lives recklessly, even if they can save people’s lives?
If all the memories disappear just because they have the same soul, can they really be called the same person?
It was a matter that had many problems both realistically and philosophically, so Jin and his colleagues had no choice but to fall into deep anguish.
To save Lily, paradoxically, she has no choice but to kill her. But when you do that, you become a completely different person, not Lily.
They fought to save people, but in the end they had to kill their comrades.

Naturally, in this tragic reality, the main characters started fighting with each other. Zeno gave up halfway, while Jin raised his voice saying that he had to save his life somehow.
In a situation where there is no proper solution, time passes endlessly, and Jin protects Lily, who is lying down without sleeping.
However, as time goes by, Lily’s body gradually turns black, starting from the heart, and Jin makes a big decision.
Without even dreaming that it would be the prelude to another tragedy.
‘If it wasn’t for the fall, I would have been able to preserve my memories.’
A question may arise here. Right now, I can keep the memories of my previous life, so why can’t Lily?
The reason is simple. I didn’t need to cleanse, and Lily’s corruption is in progress, so cleansing is essential.
Purification is the act of purifying the soul so that no dust remains. In other words, it makes it blank.
Of course, the fact that I came to this place was an accident, and there are some things that cannot be helped.
As Luminus told me before, the earth gods protested fiercely. They say that the order of the earth is completely ruined and they are suffering.
To be honest, it would be very unfair to the gods of this world. It wasn’t them, but the demon worshipers, who caused a major accident, and they only ate a lot of swear words.
So, if Clark hadn’t twisted the summoning ritual, the Demon War would have started, and it would have been an unfair situation in many ways.
‘The story has all been established until the end, and all that’s left is…’
The abduction for insurance, and the abduction that came to mind recently. these are two As an insurance gaiden is literally close to an IF rather than an affair, it doesn’t matter if you think about it slowly.
However, there are quite a lot of things to think about with the recently recollected side story, that is, Clarke as a motif. The most important thing here is the protagonist and time setting.
The end of the main character was planned in advance. A confrontation between the protagonist, who struggles to somehow leave hope, and the Seven Sins, who, on the other hand, lose all hope and want the world to be ruined.
The difficult thing here is which of the Seven Deadly Sins to meet. First of all, the candidates are anger and jealousy.
These two are people who want to lose precious things in an instant and the world will be ruined. Conversely, the main character is a person who strives to somehow leave a handful of hope.
‘Would you rather have both appear?’
It’s not bad either. It’s not going to win, but it’s enough to appeal to the strength of the main character of the side story.
What’s interesting here is that Clark alone killed the top executives of the Demon Worshiper. In many ways, it can be said that he is more of a person than a novel.
Of course, it’s very likely that the underground temples didn’t power it as much as it was important to the demon worshipers as well. But that should not devalue his power.
First of all, I will figure out the overall composition.
I know that he was a hero who passed away, and that he had given up on his duty as a hero, but other than that, I was curious about the person itself.
“You were a terrible bum.”
And the father replied calmly. I opened my eyes and asked again in a puzzled voice.
“Did you say you were in trouble?”
“Yeah. Even if the world is destroyed, he will smoke a cigarette and go.”
When I see that answer as soon as I ask a question, it seems that I was really troubled.
But in the dream, he calmly closed his eyes and went to the arms of God. Like the cliché in a movie, I didn’t enjoy sucking a single cigarette.
‘Didn’t you smoke then?’
I had an idea like this all of a sudden, but I quickly gave up. In any case, tobacco in this world is used as a treat, but it is also used as a treatment.
However, therapeutic cigarettes, like marijuana, must be managed by the temple, and more than that, they are punished as drugs.
In fact, a temple has been caught selling narcotic cigarettes. It happened before I was born and I know there was quite a stir.
How this is possible is because the temple only permits crimes that humans should not do, such as murder and rape.
The above crimes are directly condemned by God, but other crimes are made by mankind. So the gods tend to close their eyes.
“Did you say you didn’t smoke even when you were working as a knight?”
“Yes. I gave all the supplies to my subordinates.”
Tobacco is a very important luxury item for the military regardless of east and west. In fact, I said that there were cigarettes in the supplies.
Also, the decisive cause of the widespread prevalence of tobacco in the world was the tribal war and the subsequent Cold War.
In extreme circumstances, there is no other luxury item that calms the mind and body as much as cigarettes and alcohol.
Anyway, back to the present, cigarettes are a favorite among men and women, class, and finally, regardless of race.
Even that elf is a smoker, and even cigarettes made from dried leaves of the world tree exist.
I’ve heard that it is one of Albenheim’s main exports because it is used for treatment. Instead, it is highly addictive.
However, as the times are changing, there is no easy way to smoke cigarettes. There are only cigars and pipe cigarettes.
‘I heard there is a place like Cuba that specializes in cigar production. Where was it?’
I can’t remember where it is, but I’m sure it was there. Before Xenon, it was a luxury product that spread all over the world, so it has a diverse distribution network.
And if you do a side story, the sales of cigarettes will explode. A cigarette right before closing my eyes after keeping my last hope.
‘Or, like Grandpa, do I have to kill all my enemies and smoke it for the last time?’
It’s a difficult ending to choose. When this happens, jealousy or anger should be watched from a distance, and it is better to set enemies as enemies rather than them.
As I was contemplating the ending, my father, who was watching me attentively, quietly opened his mouth.
“Isaac.”
“yes?”
“Are you thinking of smoking too?”
It must have been a little deep in my mind. I blinked at my father’s question and shook my head.
I never smoked in my previous life, and I don’t intend to.
“No. It’s not like that. I was just asking because I was curious about what kind of person Grandpa was.”
“Hmm. I see.”
“Then, apart from the fact that your grandfather was a troublemaker, is there anything else? Personality or hobbies.”
“What’s your personality… I, as a son, are a bit of a nerd to say things like this, but he was a eccentric person. His hobby was writing a diary, surprisingly.”
“Diary?”
“Yeah. But before we leave, we burn everything and there’s nothing left. It was probably to erase as much of his traces as possible.”
I put on a look of surprise. People who usually keep a diary are mostly philosophical.
You can see what you’ve been through several times in your life, what mistakes you’ve made, and how you’ve grown through it.

Moreover, the diary itself is a record of what happened at the time, so it is of sufficient historical value.
It was a very disappointing part to burn such a diary, but thanks to that, I was able to get a rough idea of what kind of person Clarke was.
“It seems that he was a thoughtful person.”
“How do you know that?”
“Writing a diary is to record yourself. How annoying it is to keep a diary every day.”
“Hmm······”

My father listened to me and seemed to ponder, then looked at me. My face was reflected like a mirror in his golden eyes.
Then he smiled and gently stroked my hair with his thick hands.
I am already grown up, but in my father’s eyes, I only see him as the youngest son.
“I don’t think so. Even before he left, he left saying he was sorry that he wasn’t a good father.”
“·······”
“When I come back, I want to open up my mind once again. There are so many stories to tell.”
It’s the deepest feelings of regret for Clark. I silently listened to my father.
Grandpa erased all traces for his father, but because of that, he couldn’t convey his sincerity.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
My father had guessed that Grandpa had a reason, but he couldn’t find any evidence of that, so he kept it in his heart.
It would be good if this opportunity could be used to resolve the conflict between the rich and the poor.
“There must be a reason. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have even trained him.”
“That’s right. Then, let’s go to training after talking.”
“Ah. I have to go down writing…”
“Haha. Do you think that excuse will work? Do you want to follow me without talking too much?”
In the end, I couldn’t write one day.
******
Around the time Isaac started receiving special training from Hawke. The underground temple where Clark is waiting has undergone some changes.
Originally, it was an investigation team that regarded Clark as a monster and attacked it, but as time passed, they were able to understand the situation a little.
This skeleton is so different from any other entity. Even if they attack first, they only end up stunned, but they don’t die.
His tone was a little harsh, but apart from that, his behavior itself was polite. No one could see him as an evil being.
Thanks to this, the investigation team was able to gradually calm their excitement and proceed with the ‘conversation’. It wasn’t a body conversation, it was the real conversation Clark had been waiting for.
[Is this Zeno’s biography?]
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Clark looked at the book on the floor, Xenon’s biography. It is said that he brought it because he was afraid he would be bored during a break.
For reference, the knight is still using it as a chair under him.
Originally, the knight should be released, but the act of rebellion is so disgusting that we leave it as it is.
The other investigation team wanted to rescue the knight, but they couldn’t. Clarke was incredibly strong, so I shouldn’t have gotten even the slightest bit of tantrum.
[Whoa.]
Clark, with a cigar in his mouth, picked up a copy of Xenon’s biography that the archaeologist had brought. Smoke rose and scattered in the air.
Without eyes, he could see, without ears he could hear, and without lungs he could breathe.
This is also true of the senses. Once inhaled, the noble taste of cigars penetrated deep into the lungs.
It is a situation where you can feel the five senses even if you do not know how it is in English. Clark leisurely smoked a cigarette, staring at the cover of Xenon’s biography.
[This should have happened when I was alive…]
Clark clicked his tongue out, and was genuinely sorry. He hasn’t read Zeno’s biography, but he does know how it changed the world.
He grabbed the head of the demon worshiper who was active under the water and forcibly pulled it up, and in addition to that, he made a breakthrough.
In particular, the part where he had to deal with the fallen cardinal was very refreshing for Clarke. Because of that one guy, the power he was holding was completely annihilated.
I never even imagined at the time that even the cardinal would have fallen. There was only a very commonsense thought of how the apostle of God would join hands with the devil.
The demon worshiper, however, was far more cunning and cautious than Clark had expected. Because of this, they had to collapse one after the other.
[Before I go back to the dirt, I’ll have to read all of this.]
Clark was about to start reading Zenon’s biography in earnest.

Murmur- murmur-
The underground temple suddenly began to roar. The investigation team resumed the investigation after they found out that Clark was quiet, but there must be a reason for the noise again.
Clark felt a presence at this and looked away from the book.
Then, he narrowed his eyes at the powerful energy he felt at the exit of the underground temple. To be precise, the golden light inside the eye socket was folded in half.
“You mustn’t fight. That skeleton is with other entities…”
“He’s against God’s rules. Besides, you said you wanted to meet Sir Isaac and Sir Hawk? He must have impure intentions.”
The voice of a woman full of hostility and the voice of a man struggling to stop her somehow.
Clark sighed and closed the book quietly. I had a strong feeling that there was going to be a commotion.
It doesn’t matter though. It’s flawed that the energy is a bit strong, but it’s enough to subdue it like everyone else.
therefore······
“Is that guy?”
“Yes, yes. Yes, but…”
God’s faithful apostle.
[hey. chair.]
“Yes, yes!”
[Go over there for a moment.]
The skeletons resurrected by God’s protection met each other.
