64 – The Truth Revealed (2)
[I’m sorry. Trying to save me…]
The memory began with the first meeting between Dagran and Raina.
The relationship between the two began when Reina was injured while trying to save Dagran, who was in danger.
Everyone in the audience was able to experience the deep emotions and subtle changes in relationships as the memories flowed.
This is because the techniques of ‘illusion’ and ‘extra sense’ connect you to feel the emotions contained in your memories.
[No matter what happens, I will make you smile!!!]
The memories flowed like that, and Dagran and Reina’s cohabitation began to replay.
Dagran tries hard day and night to help Raina feel emotions, while Raina maintains a skeptical attitude.
At first glance, Dagran’s efforts seemed meaningless.
How could they fix her, as she was born with a design that prevented her from feeling her emotions?
But Dagran did not give up.
Raina, who thought she couldn’t have emotions, created a ‘device that allows her to see emotions with her eyes’ to prove that she also has emotions. I created the holy sword ‘Emotion Guide’ so that I could change it into a form and radiate it.
And when Reina swung the sword imbued with her own emotions, she could see that she also had strong emotions.
She just can’t express it, but it proves that she has such strong emotions.
[···I guess I love you.]
In this way, Raina came to understand her feelings of love.
This strong feeling of wanting to protect this dwarf who saved him for the rest of his life.
This strange feeling: when he is in pain, you are in pain, and when he is happy, you are happy.
He finally acknowledged it as love and began dating Dagran.

“Ah…”
And the dwarves who saw this entire process began to wipe their tears.
This is because the love story between the dwarf and the human female knight they loved most stimulated their nostalgia.
[If you hurt… I hurt too.]
[Can you see my heart?]
A golden haze emanating from Raina’s body.
Everyone was immersed in Raina’s memories.
Her love for Dagran was sincere.
As a result, the dwarves began to feel affection for Rayna.
This is because that beautiful human woman truly loved the next dwarven leader whom they cherished and respected the most.
Dagran was clearly happy to receive her sincere love.
[This is a large-scale monster attack!]
But as the day began, everyone’s expressions turned cold.
The day that ruined the perfect love between these two.
The memories of that day were finally revived.
-Paaat!
But at that moment.
The screen suddenly froze.
Memory replay has stopped.
As the dwarves, who were fully immersed, started muttering with puzzled faces, Ed came up on stage and began to explain.
“Yes. Are you embarrassed when you suddenly stop remembering? But this is to show the ‘truth’ in more detail.”
Ed said that and pointed to a seat in the audience.
There was Croto and the others frozen in place with unfocused eyes.
It’s because I fell victim to Elena’s magic.
Currently, their entire bodies were paralyzed and their ‘memories’ were being pulled out.
A memory that contains the truth of that day.
While everyone was looking at Croto and the others, Ed opened his mouth.
“In order to reveal the whole truth, I will edit Rayna’s memories and their memories chronologically. “Chief professor.”
When Edgar called Elena, she nodded her head.
Eventually, she put the specific memories extracted from Croto and the others into her magic sphere and handed them to Ed.
And when Ed connected the magic ball to the memory regeneration device, Croto’s memories began to regenerate.
[Ugh!!!]
The beginning of my memories was a large-scale attack by monsters.
The fierce and cruel scene was vividly replayed.
[Pour oil! Load fire arrows!]
However, the border guards did not back down.
Under Dagran’s command, they bravely stood their ground and blocked the monsters.
[Kkieee─!]
However, when Ekayan, the most powerful magical beast of the Shadow Forest combined with evil spirits, appeared, the situation rapidly began to turn unfavorable.
The moment you are hit by this guy’s acid, parasites burrow into your brain and turn you into a zombie. The zombie symptoms spread rapidly and chaos ensued.
[Retreat to the third defense line!]
In the end, Dagran had no choice but to retreat to the third defense line.
However, he said he could not let Ekayan into the kingdom as it would cause massive casualties, and announced to everyone his desperate will to commit suicide with him here.
And all the dwarves began to join his will and burn their will.
“Ah…!.”
“Dagran!”
“As expected, you…”
The dwarves who witnessed Dagran’s bravery began to shed tears.
Because that is the true appearance of Dagran that they remembered.
[Sssss!! I am a knight of the empire!! Why am I protecting your kingdom!?]
But it wasn’t Croto.
This despicable human knight, who had abandoned his mission before and ran away, was contemplating to run away again.
[Aren’t you knights? Your job is to protect us. Fight until the end.]
In response, Dagran ordered to fight until the end with a solemn look.
He was instructed to fight like a warrior if he was a warrior, and like a knight if he was a knight.
[Shibaal! I can’t be killed here!]
But that became the root of the problem.
They pretended to follow Dagran’s orders, but secretly plotted a conspiracy behind his back.
[If that pudgy bastard’s suicide mission succeeds, we will all die! It must be stopped!]
So, the Croto trio took advantage of the intensifying battle and destroyed the ‘explosion technique’, the core of the explosion operation.
After killing the dwarf in charge of operating the spell, he escaped through the only exit.
In addition, they did not hesitate to commit the evil act of blocking the exit so that they could not be questioned.
“That vile!”
“Oh, how! “How could you do such a terrible thing!”
“I must tear you to death right away!”
At this, the dwarves began to get angry.
Everyone stood up with their weapons, saying that Croto and his party, who had ruined Dagran’s noble sacrifice, should be torn apart.
-Paaat!
At that time, the speaker in the video was reversed.
It was converted to Raina.
[Oh, no… Dagran… My Dagran… I can’t do it without you─ Ugh!]
Reina received Dagran’s letter saying he would meet his end here and was on his way to rescue him.
However, she was in her fourth month of pregnancy and her condition was terrible, and eventually she developed morning sickness and had no choice but to vomit on the floor.
There is no way I can save him with this body.
[uuu…]
Realizing that she had no choice but to follow her husband’s wishes, Reina began to sob.
The dwarves in the audience watching this shed tears as they felt her desperate emotions.
-Paaat!
But then, the screen changed again.
It was the Croto trio running at full speed towards the underground passage.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the underground passage, killed the dwarf sentry guarding it, and manipulated the entrance controller to open the entrance.
And to prevent anyone else from operating this controller, I struck it with my sword and broke it.
Once they entered the entrance passage, they manipulated the internal controller and closed the door.
So that no one can accuse them of their sins.
[Live, live! Sibaaal! I survived!]
A vivid memory of their dirty evil deeds.
The dwarves shook their fists as they looked at that memory.
Some dwarves were so angry that they hyperventilated and collapsed in their seats.
As expected, that underground passage was an underground passage that ordinary, powerless dwarves should use.
This is the passage through which the families that the dwarven border guards wanted to protect even at the cost of their own lives must take refuge.
-Paaat!
Just before the dwarves’ anger exploded, the screen changed once again.
It was Raina’s point of view.
[You scumbags!]
Reina was furious as she looked at the shattered entrance controller and the sentry’s stab wounds.
This is because I quickly realized who the people who committed such evil acts were.
[Kooooo!]
But there was no time to punish this.
This is because a group of monsters arrived after breaking through the defense line and rushed at the survivors.
However, among the monsters, there were surviving dwarven border guards.
And among them, Dagran was also there.
[Dagran!]
And so the two had a dramatic reunion.
If Croto and his party opened the underground passage even now, they could all come back alive.
[Never! Never open it! We will definitely be held accountable for our sins! The minimum death penalty!]
However, they did not open the door to protect their own safety.
Because of this, innocent civilian dwarves were torn to death by monsters, and most of them were turned into zombie dwarves by Ekayan’s acid.
And─
[Keueuuu!]
Dagran, who was trying to protect Rayna, was also hit by Ekayan’s acid.
[It is not your fault… I truly loved you.]
Just before becoming a zombie, Dagran stabbed himself in the neck with a dagger.
Raina shed tears and tried to somehow cure Dagran, but in the end, she did not want to turn into a zombie and attack her loved ones, so she obeyed his wishes and let him go.
“Tear it to death… That vile bastard…”
“aaa…aaa…”
“Dagran… Dagran…”
That’s how the dwarves saw the truth of Dagran’s death.
He was not a coward who took his own life in despair over his wife going crazy, but a brave warrior and an honorable man who wanted to protect her until the end.
[hhhhh!!!! Haaa!!!! aaa…]
Reina screamed.
Fierce hatred and resentment whose depth could not be measured erupted from her body.
She did not become a madman after being attacked by a monster, but became a vengeful spirit who was enraged by the deaths of her husband and neighbors.
[aaah!!!]
After miscarrying her child and going completely crazy, she began fighting monsters using her endless hatred as an energy source.
She cut down thousands of monsters alone, and eventually avenged her husband by killing Kayan, who was too strong for even the Yen Sword Master to deal with.
[Krrr···Krrr···]
But the price was great.
She became a complete madman and lost her reason.
Originally, she should have immediately destroyed the underground passage and punished Croto and the others, but she was swallowed up by her anger and lost her senses.
[Khaaa!!]
In the end, her anger was directed at the fleeing monster.
It also turned to the zombie dwarves who were scattering in all directions due to Ekayan’s death.
“Re, Raina…”
The dwarves watching this were finally able to realize.
Reina did not slaughter innocent people of her own people, but simply gave rest to her people who had turned into ugly monsters.
As evidenced by her proof, even though she was powerful enough to cut down Kayan alone, she did not attack anyone when her salvation army stopped her.
She simply cried like crazy because she could not relieve her endless hatred, and then her life force ran out and she ended her life.
‘Dagran·····.’
As her life force ran out and her madness disappeared, she called out the name of her beloved husband in her dying moments.
All the emotions and memories she felt were conveyed to everyone, making us feel in our bones how deep her resentment was.
‘I’m sorry… For not being able to avenge your enemy.’
And this was her last monologue.
I am sorry for not being able to take revenge.
The burning hatred and a thousand years of regret were imbued in the holy sword and it became a demonic sword.
That’s how the video ended.
“······.”
There was silence.
All the dwarves were clenching their fists with hot, red eyes.
Immense anger that makes my skin tremble.
All that anger was directed at Croto and the others.
I will tear apart every single piece of their flesh and make them die in extreme pain.
“Please wait a moment.”
But as everyone was about to approach the Croto trio to punish them, Ed came up to the stage and opened his mouth.
From noble mtl dot com
He glanced at Isabella behind the stage and then spoke the following words.
“You do not have the right to take their lives.”
Ed said that and opened the glass tube.
After pulling out the holy sword that was stored inside the glass coffin, he knelt down on one knee and held the holy sword with both hands.
-Ttogak. Again.
Then, a woman behind the stage began to climb up to the podium.
All the dwarves who saw the woman’s appearance looked astonished and she froze in place like a stone.
Heavy gait and flowing blonde hair.
This was because Reina, who retained the nobility and beauty she had when she was alive, was on the stage.
Eventually, when Reina stood in front of her holy sword, Ed lifted the sword she was holding with both hands and she spoke.
“Reina Andriel, the time has come to reclaim lost honor and the truth hidden behind lies. “I dedicate this holy sword to administer justice to your old enemy.”
Reina stands in front of the holy sword wearing a knight’s uniform.
She held the handle of the holy sword offered by Ed, ‘Guide of Emotions’.
And then he lifted it up and handed it to Croto and the others.
-Whaaa!
Then, a brilliant golden haze began to emanate from her body.
The warm color that appeared when she wanted to protect her beloved husband overflowed throughout her body.
“Croto, eguwa, arjie. “I will punish your sins.”
And that appearance was the one that all dwarves praised.
It was the appearance of a noble female knight who cut down ‘Bayater’, the old nightmare of the snowy mountain.
