272. see you when you come back
“All, you! Are you dead?!”
The Great Witch who smirks and laughs at my questions. She shrugged her shoulders and replied.
“It’s time to go, so you’re not here.”
“No, but it’s too sudden.”
I knew that the Great Witch had lived an uncountably long life compared to other witches, but I didn’t know that she would die in vain.
“You will be surprised to know how old I am. Originally, I was forced to live the life I had to let go, so it is no wonder that I come to this place.”
A great witch who uses magic while waving her hands as if it’s annoying. With each movement of her hand, a number of dolls were disappearing into light.
“Because I’m dead, my body is light. No back pain and clear vision. Had I known this would happen, I would have died sooner.
“Speaking lightly.”
In any case, thanks to the participation of the Great Witch, the aspect of the battle was changing rapidly. The battle, which was a simple and ignorant battle of physical strength, has changed to a state that this side can break through.
“Is this enough to be able to deal with the ancient beasts?”
To be honest, I was a little surprised.
Because I didn’t know that the Great Witch’s skills could be this great. Even if it was not at the level of Sharkal or Kulika, the top predators, it was likely to deal with the ancient beasts at the bottom.
“In the old days, there were many witches on the same level as the ancient beasts. But as the generations pass by locked in the forest, their magical skills are bound to decline.”
“Hmm.”
“And I.”
thud!
The continuous pouring of purple magic bullets did not end with just being fired. It was clinging to the path of light, blocking the advance of the enemy.
“Because of my age, my body couldn’t keep up, so I couldn’t use magic properly. How much does it cost to fire magic bullets without stiff shoulders?”
Laughing and laughing, the Great Witch continues to fire colorful magic. It was a bit of an enviable sight for me, who had enough mana.
At that moment, the goddess of death, who had been hiding far behind, hurriedly approached this way and shouted.
“you you! How are you conscious? Do all the dead lose consciousness?”
Seeing that, yes
As is known on the continent, the underworld was not a hell to pay the price for sins, or a place where people who had been separated were reunited.
A very desolate and lonely place.
A shelter that sleeps unconsciously and waits for the day to be reincarnated and return to the continent.
It was said that the Great Witch could not be so sharp and sorcery.
“The reason I have lived a life that transcends humans as a great witch is simple. Because I don’t want to die. After that, it was an unknown place.”
It wasn’t the same for the remaining witches. The Great Witch, as always, was extremely selfish.
“But three times. I have been killed three times.”
Continental Nightmare.
Twice for the earliest end, once for the end that follows.
Because the Great Witch had already experienced three deaths.
He snorts and responds in such a way as not to underestimate himself.
“I know what the consequences are after death. just endless nothing. A life that sleeps without anything. I’ve been trying for the past 3 years to tweak it. It was difficult, but it wasn’t much different from what I had been living my life for.”
“ah……”
“Thanks to you, I have come to understand the truth of the world. It is like experiencing the reincarnation of life and death.”
The goddess of death flashes and looks at me. I don’t know why it’s for me, but anyway, because it seemed like he wanted to grumble.
“I’m going to break through, so help me.”
I instructed the Grand Witch while ignoring it. She said it was not too difficult and started pouring out mana.
“It’s so nice to be able to use magic without resistance after a long time! How many times have you had fun using magic!”
Certainly, there was nothing like magic when fighting such a large army. The dolls, which were densely packed on the path of light, were being pushed back before I knew it, giving me an opportunity.
“How long are you going to stay there?”
Our eyes meet with the god of life at the end of the road. I started running straight up the road towards him.
“Then lose?”
With the sudden appearance of the great witch, the battle turned to this direction. Knowing that, the god of life looks at the archwitch in disgust and shouts.
“You guys are always invading my territory!”
“Hehe, you still remember this old woman.”
I wondered what she was talking about for a moment, but the goddess of death clapped her hands and jumped.
“ah! It was the God of Life who expelled the witches because of their prophecy ability.”
“Aha?”
So the Archwitch was helping with her teeth clenched like that? Somehow, I felt uncomfortable.
“The goddess of time you spent with us told me everything. That we witches suffered so much because of you. I thought I could give you a shot, so I came here dead.”
Witches originally had a vicious side.
So, in order to survive in the forest of the demon realm, he must have survived by struggling, enduring, and twisting like tenacity.
In the meantime, he committed countless acts of inhumanity.
They must have something they want to say too.
“Finally, I can confidently return to the dead witches of the ancestors.”
The corners of the old woman’s mouth lifted slightly. An expression that seemed to have relieved the lifelong resentment he had had while forcing himself to live on.
Then, the goddess of death approaches while wiggling her fingers.
“there.”
“Well?”
The hesitant Goddess of Death whispers while avoiding her gaze. I’ve spent a lot of time with him in my own way, but it’s usually when I’m doing something I shouldn’t have to do if I act that way.
“All those witches were reincarnated.”
“……”
“Hey, I can’t say goodbye.”
“Kuhm.”
The Great Witch forcibly pretends not to hear and continues to shoot magic. also age. It is different from the ignorant woman who was locked up in the underworld and played chess alone.
“How come the gods are all missing screws?”
So is the goddess of time.
So is the goddess of death.
“So are you.”
Eye contact with the God of Life.
The guy slowly raised the spear forward, making a deep impression.
“I heard of death. You say that you are like brothers and sisters to each other. They say they get along well.”
“…you are talking nonsense.”
“Why did my eyes suddenly go back? You’ve never even thought of a place for God.”
“They are no longer gods.”
The flames boiling from the tip of the spear shoot straight at me. monotonous attack. I used the dolls as a shield and evaded them as I advanced.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have power. Foolish and defeated. It was all done under our fair mutual rules.”
“……?”
“In the process, a third person, not me, death, or time. So even though you, the human being, won, I didn’t care.”
That’s why he’s not destroying the continent even when he’s become a god by himself.
“However, we must never forget that we always carry the name of God.”
Deep emotions swirl.
I just had a gut feeling that those words were the reason the God of Life did this.
“Even if you lose your power, even if you break down and fall down! As gods, we should live like gods! How come you don’t know that! How can you become like a human!”
Quang!
finally.
My sword touched the god of life.
The soldiers in the crowd were being swept away and melted in the flames emitted by the god of life.
“I can’t leave it like that. time and death Before you become even more broken and become human.”
He swung his sword, but was blocked by the spear swung by the god of life, and his body floated backwards. Chills run down my spine from almost being pushed off the path of light.
“Now that I can still wear the name of God. I will give you a chance to die as a god.”
“…I honestly have nothing to say.”
It was an undeniable fact that the Goddess of Death changed while she was with me. He became more like a human than a god.
But there was one thing I wanted to correct.
“What’s wrong with that?”
“what?”
“What’s wrong with the guys who haven’t changed, starting to change after this incident?”
Also, I personally think so.
“And it’s not like a change.”
It’s growth.
At my words, the god of life built up a bloodbath and began to approach me. With every step he took, fireworks burst out of his surroundings.
‘Is it worse than the apocalypse that follows?’
At that time, Ares’ body was borrowed, and now it is the main body. He seemed to have touched the repulsion of the God of Life quite strongly.
“It was great for a human being. Yes, to be honest, I was afraid to fight with you.”
The scattered flames begin to clump together and form into a huge circle. The sun was rising in the dark sky of the underworld.
“With that body, you will not be able to fight an equal battle with me.”
“Have you noticed now?”
In fact, he was able to fight until now thanks to the fear of the god of life.
“There is no reincarnation of you. I will make it.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t reincarnate. And I am the one who wins.”
Space is twisted. A small hole was pierced in the underworld, which had begun to be distorted by the enormous mana.
A small crystal fell from there.
It started flying toward me naturally like a magnet. Through the sun of the god of life, through the darkness of the underworld.
reached me
I felt like something invisible was pulling me.
The limbs are stretched straight, and rapid growth is achieved.
Before I knew it, I wasn’t 10-year-old Daniel MacLean.
18 years old.
He had become Daniel MacLean, who was attending the academy.
I smile for no reason at the boiling power. I am surprised to the extent that I wonder if my body was originally like this, but I am accustomed to it.
“Now then…!”
“Are you ready for an excuse?”
I tried to tell the God of Life that we should fight each other with all our might. Hearing Rin’s horrifying voice, I involuntarily shrank and checked my surroundings.
“See you when you get back.”
A kind of warning that disappears like wind.
“……I’d rather lose.”
It was a thought-provoking moment.
