Rest (4)
I die because of a woman.
I was completely taken aback by the sound that came out of nowhere.
“No, what… yes? Me?”
“yes.”
“No… Yes? Me?”
“That’s right.”
Schooled answered me with a grin as I foolishly repeated my words.
“No, how…”
“I just said what I saw. It’s just one of Corin’s future possibilities, so don’t pay too much attention to it.”
“How can you not care…”
Above all, I will die because of a woman? This is a ridiculous possibility!
“They’re all good kids. There’s no way they could kill me…”
“Since ancient times, there have been many cases where heroes met their end because of women.”
Schooled added, as if telling me not to worry as my face turned white.
“Don’t worry. In the end, Corin, I will personally cut off your head so that you can go to Valhalla.”
“There’s no need! This is the problem with you guys! Even when I try to be friendly, they always come at my throat?!”
These sisters have a tendency to competitively try to kill a hero they can approve of! Aren’t the women from the future one of these women?
“W-Who are you?”
Skuld shakes his head in response to my question.
“I couldn’t see his face, but I could guess what he was like.”
“how?”
“I am a Norn who predicts fate. For me to not even be able to identify your face, you must be of a higher rank than me.”
“······Well, what do you mean?”
“The opponent must be a goddess or someone with the power to shake the world.”
Even though it is a very, very rare condition, there are more people than you might think.
First of all, Master… I can’t even imagine a future where you kill me, but first of all, you are a living goddess of this era.
Estelle… A cult leader aiming to become the next earth goddess. Because she truly achieved divine status, she was able to aim for the position of goddess.
Oh, sh*t.
Come to think of it, Marie, Alisha, and Hwaran are also in danger. The three were gifted with the power of the three goddesses of war, Maha, Nevan, and Morian.
Should this also be considered God’s hierarchy? No, the power of the main body alone was enough to shake the world.
“Don’t worry too much. Life is something you never know what will happen.”
I got goosebumps when Schooled said that if I die, wouldn’t it be a happy ending?
“Why on earth is this happening…?”
There was nothing like this in the previous episode… I was alone on Earth from birth, so why did I face this ordeal…
I left Schooled’s tent with a bloodshot expression on my face.
Until the end, she did not lose interest in my life, saying, ‘If you think you are about to be poisoned or killed by your spouse, please come to me first.’
* * * *
I die by a woman.
Damn, these words didn’t last long.
The reason is believed to be highly likely to be a political issue.
Having a woman with a full stomach means that I chose someone, and someone who couldn’t bear to see that happened tried to kill me… Well, there is a high probability that it will be such a scary future!
So who? Who’s killing me?
It only creates a sense of suspicion for no reason.
“Corin? What are you doing if you’re not even eating the soup?”
“······Sir. Whose blood was the blood of Seonjit Soup made from?”
-Hot!
Marie’s cheeks trembled at my sudden question, but she held a baked potato in her hand and moved it to her mouth as if she were calm.
“W-I don’t know what you’re talking about…? Should I make the seed out of cowhide? What should I make it out of?”
I know. If you pour in a certain amount of that Seonjit Soup, even a wizard with high anti-magic power can turn into a vampire or ghoul.
‘Could it be Marie?’
No, no. Marie is so kind… Our Marie can’t be like that!
Then… Arisha?
I looked closely at Alisha, who stretched out her arms, defenselessly exposing her armpits.
‘He was eliminated. And he openly asks to marry several people.’
Because of his twisted personality, if I were to marry someone, he would attack me along with my sister. No, this is still a problem…
‘Then Estelle?’
Estelle was very devoted to me and had an unknown faith that even tried to make me into a god.
No, are you still going to try to kill me? I don’t think so either. He is the one who will kill my wife rather than me.
‘Master…’
Out of topic. He is living justice and embodiment. This is not the kind of person who would kill someone in a passionate fight!
Master, I am cancer! Oh, I’m sure of it!
then······.
“Will you make dinner tonight? Do you want me to help you?”
I take a peek and try to make contact with anger. Hwa and Ran. Although they both have quiet personalities, they are very blind to me.
-widely!
“huh?”
The hand that was reaching out to Hwa as usual tapped! and jumped out. artist? You say you like me? “Haven’t we become a lot of friends?”
When I stared at her with a puzzled expression, Hwa frowned as if she had seen something dirty.
“It’s unclean.”
“Eh?”
Why did I wash it every day?
slap! I looked puzzled as I stood up and left the restaurant.
“Is it puberty?”
“”···············.””
Everyone remained silent in response to my questions.
·········
······
···
Even after the meal was over, I thought about it carefully. But no matter how much I think about it, I can’t think of anyone who would make the extreme choices that Schooled saw.
As I was walking down the street while continuing to worry, I ran into someone.
“Lord Corrin?”
“Ah, Princess Miriam.”
Wearing a more frugal dress than usual and fur and leather clothes, she looks like a small boa constrictor.
From noble mtl dot com
“······Call me Mir.”
“Sure, whatever.”
“······.”
Mir asked me to call him by his nickname, and when I treated him comfortably, he made a pouty face again.
To some, the eyes look fierce, like an angry evil woman, but to me, that’s how much emotional changes I read. Because she was my ex-wife, whatever.
“Is military integration going well?”
“Okay. There’s a lot of opposition from wild people, but thanks to Skade Mer, we’re flexible.”
I think it was a really good decision to include the Valkyries. If the command system is messed up, even a war that could be won is lost.
“By the way, our master has many women here and there.”
“Kuhm… no, what…”
I tried to say, “Once again,” but it was such a trashy remark that I quit.
“Hmm~ You’re not denying it?”
Mir slithered like a snake and suddenly grabbed me by the collar and dragged me down.
“You’ve done everything you need to do in the future, right?”
Is that all? He did more than that.
After a young man who was native to the Earth and had no dating experience learned the taste of a woman’s flesh, he lusted for it like he was addicted to it.
“It’s insidious..”
“Even if you say that…”
Does this person…do he intend to be with me in this life as well? Without political reasons?
In the midst of such doubt, she smiled and gave a venomous smile.
“That’s right. I don’t share what’s mine with others. If it doesn’t belong to me, I’ll tear it to shreds.”
“Ugh…!”
no way? You were the target of the prophecy?!
I got chills.
Can I survive and reach the ending?
* * * *
Regardless of Skuld’s prophecy, I meditated in anticipation of the upcoming decisive battle.
This was because training my body or magical power was no longer meaningful to me, so I needed to gain as much ‘enlightenment’ as possible.
『Corin Locke (Hero)』
Auror – { Special (20,130) }
mana – { Special (18,920) }
Paranormal Abilities – {Regeneration of a tenacious warrior, pain resistance, domain understanding, triple core, demonic energy release, monstrous strength, rune amplification, swallow sense, ether understanding, war rider}
Strength: 373
Agility: 305
Stamina: 300
Auror: 314
mana: 314
Originally, even if only one were specially upgraded, the highest tier Aura and magic power would each be special.
It is no exaggeration to say that my current strength is at least 4 to 5 times stronger than the original player who played according to the rules.
And it’s not just this.
According to the precept 『I do not perceive spirits』, if it is a material object, an additional advantage of 50% is gained──
『I Save the World』 gives me at least twice as much power.
My strength is already far beyond that of the player. Considering the precepts buff, even the player party might be able to win.
And with these specs, he can even defeat Tates Balthazar by soloing.
‘But Park Si-hoo didn’t win.’
He was a being called a demon god.
A sorceress so powerful that she can be called a god.
It was a cheating munchkin raised using a lot of cheats to stop the world, destroy the terrain, and change the climate with magic.
Nevertheless, Park Si-hoo lost. In the end, I lost and the baton was passed to me.
At first, I wanted to question why he lost even with that much power, but strangely enough, I came to understand why he lost.
The enemy who wishes for the destruction of the world, Tates Balthazar, is someone who cannot be defeated through strength alone.
“You have an unusual talent.”
This is what Runia once said. It may be in the eastern part now, but many powerful people other than her said similar things.
“Corin, you have an unusual talent.”
“You are similar to me. If I had pursued the sword, I could have reached the Heavenly Sword.”
Unlike the easily understandable external talents of aura and magical power, something invisible.
Something about it creates an incomprehensible distinction.
“Damn, it’s hard to tell because everyone speaks so vaguely.”
They may not be noble people, but when they explain things, they talk like a veteran martial arts expert.
In the end, there is only one thing I can do.
“only one. Think about only one thing. Contain the image, area, and logic of your goal. When the mind, energy, and body unite and the thoughts, forces, and principles unite, the ultimate is reached.”
eventuality.
I’ve already reached that.
“Well, I wonder how it will turn out in real life.”
Pick up the spear. Put logic into that spear and throw it out.
-Gwaaa—!
The sky opens and the clouds part. Although it is small compared to Geomje’s magic show, it feels like an imitation.
“In the end, there’s only one thing you can do: destroy it with all your might.”
Just do your best.
That was always the only option I was given.
* * * *
The daily life spent for relaxation was not boring.
It was a fun day, and I wanted it to continue.
But this too is a dream that must end. In order to get to tomorrow, you have to get past today.
“Corrin’s younger brother… that….”
It was so huge that it could be seen even from the center of an army numbering tens of thousands.
“World Tree Yggdrasil.”
The huge ash tree that extends into ‘space’ becomes clearer as you get closer to the secret scenery of Tates Balthazar.
Although I explained it to her in advance, Estelle looked shocked when she actually saw it.
“I thought, how could a tree destroy the world?”
They believed a story that others would not have believed if it had been told to them by others.
“It’s grown more than I thought. As expected, ‘this time’ is different.”
“this time?”
That was when Estelle questioned my words.
“excuse me!”
“Something is coming!”
A murmur coming from the front. There is no need to check its authenticity. Running through the air, it came into everyone’s sight.
“I am Gankan. “I am a messenger from a great being.”
“······Durahan.”
It is an Unseelie Fairy that is considered one of the highest level monsters in ＜The Legend of Arhan Heroes＞.
It is a monster that forms the two great mountains of Banshee, a top-level demon spirit that can be ignored thanks to the precept that I do not recognize spirits.
Soon, Dullahan’s gloomy voice modulates.
“We’ve finally arrived, to the final act of the stage.”
“······!”
I understood it right away. A voice heard only once in both the previous and current episodes. A strong presence that cannot be forgotten after just one encounter.
Tates Balthazar. He is watching us from beyond.
“I waited too long. “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you?”
It was a strange statement. I realized that it was instinctively heading towards me, but I could feel excitement, intoxication, and even joy in his voice.
Why? There’s no way he doesn’t know how unfavorable this situation is for him, right?
“Now, this is the beginning of the true creation myth. The stage is set up, and the roles are a bit lacking, but the quality is good…”
And from afar… I feel a strange energy. The people who felt this energy were people like me… who had divine powers.
“Korin, younger brother Corrin. Now… is this a little different from what you said?”
“······.”
I do not know. I don’t know anything like this.
Was something like this in the original?
Did this happen in the previous episode as well?
how······.
“Your false god said this. “The world was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. Then the Lord said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”
The spreading divine power that would cover the world centered around the World Tree… was a pattern I had never seen before.
“So I’m going to make a declaration. ‘Let there be no light.’”
Next moment.

i turned on the dark mode as soon as he said this..
