“Arel. What are you thinking about?”
Allel felt like she was dreaming.
on top of a small hill. She was lying in the flower field on top of the garden, blown by the gentle wind.
“You······.”
“What, have you forgotten my name? Galatine. He’s your friend.”
“Galatine…?”
Galatine. This is also a familiar name.
But it was a sword. Not the person in front of you. The name of the spirit sword that I have been carrying around like a family ever since I remembered.
Unlike her dark elf, the human girl smiled like sunlight and stroked Arel’s hair.
“idiot. Why are you so unable to memorize my name?”
“Galatine… de Debaron.”
“Oh, why a full name?”
memory is back
The girl’s name is Galatin de Debaron.
A boy with short hair like a man and pure white skin.
In the family, the girl was being raised like a boy.
Is that why?
Galatin was envious of Arell’s long hair. He always brushed Arel’s hair and braided it.
“envy. I wanted to grow my hair before becoming a sword.”
“Spirit Sword…?”
“It’s already tomorrow! If it becomes a sword, it will be able to kill the dragon that destroyed our family. The day when humanity will triumph is not far away. So, Arell, you use me.”
Spirit swords are made with special human beings.
The sword is quenched based on human vitality, and ‘artificial epic’ is applied on top of it to make it have the same power as authority.
Thus, the spirit sword can slash even dragons.
However, Arel was confused.
Spirit weapons were created more than a thousand years ago.
But why do memories of being together before Galatine became a spirit sword exist?
In the first place, it was a fact that no one had been able to discover that the material of the spirit sword was human. Any magician, even any intellectual, had sharply divided opinions on the main ingredient.
Why such knowledge?
“Become the spirit king. If it’s you… if you’re the ‘Valkyria’ of the ‘Asir’, it’s definitely possible.”
Asher tribe.
It is a word that means dark elf.
A race that was created by God, but betrayed God and came down to earth.
It is said that it fell from the sky and turned its skin black.
They are hunters who slay dragons and demons using divine knowledge and great power.
And Arel was an exceptional ‘Valkyria’ among them.
A weapon without emotion.
“do not worry. When the war is over, you can come back as a human. Then the people in my family will treat me as a hero, right?”
no.
The war ends with the defeat of mankind.
The spirit sword, all spirit weapons, will spend over a thousand years being discarded like garbage.
Far from returning to human form, most swords forget their original existence.
Time goes by.
The next day, the girl became a sword.
Arel, a Valkyria, went to the battlefield with a sword.
There, he met the strongest dragon, an existence called the ‘absolute one’.
“A Valkyria with emotions. It’s the first time I’ve seen it in an eternity.”
A hundred Valkyrias were dead around the dragon.
It’s a failure.
Even though the white Valkyria and the white spirit sword rushed to kill the most powerful dragon.
However, the dragon did not immediately kill the fallen Arel.
All the other Valkyrias were killed, but only Arel was spared.
“It’s already the twelfth. I’m sick of it now.”
He seemed tired of war.
different from other dragons. It was a clear contrast to the slaughter and the dragons who somehow tried to destroy the world.
“I knew from the beginning that God was an imperfect being, so I deliberately didn’t accomplish the ‘great feat’… Valkyria with emotions, I ask you.”
The Absolute spoke again.
“Is erasing humans beneficial? Or is it beneficial to erase God?”
Arell looked up at the sky.
“Even you, ‘Singularity’, do you think it’s right to erase them? then.”
The absolute laughed.
As if you’re sure you’re not wrong.
in a confident voice.
“I will build an ’empire’. Even if it takes time, I will make those who inherit my blood kill God. At that time, this in my head will also wake up from a long slumber.”
The absolute laughed.
“And you are the proof. When the one with the thickest blood of mine wakes up with ‘this’, you too will wake up and become a living witness.”
The smile of the absolute grew thicker, saying that it would be very interesting if singularities and singularities met.
At that moment, Allel fell asleep.
with Galatine.
I fell into a long, long sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, a cool breeze greeted Arel.
The body is heavy, but this is reality.
Arel opened his eyes and looked around.
The wyvern was flapping its wings.
“Are you awake?”
In front of him… was Reinhardt.
He was looking at himself with soft eyes with Hella.
“here is······?”
“Don’t worry, we’ll be arriving at the Palmonto workshop soon.”
I left Ageus’ territory.
And this direction was the way to the Palmonto Workshop.
Allel’s eyes shook.
The memory that suddenly came to mind is also a memory, but before that, he had no idea how he had woken up.
It is not clear what happened after taking the medicine.
“sorry. I don’t know what I said… Maybe I told you about Your Highness.”
medicine of truth.
The drug is a drug powerful enough to puncture the brain.
No matter how strong-willed a person is, he makes the truth blow.
It would be a big deal if you told Jasmine about Reinhardt. Since the crown prince of the empire was involved with the devil’s cult, he didn’t know what he was going to do.
However, Reinhardt shook his head.
“I don’t care.”
“Yes······?”
don’t you care
Are you thinking of skipping over such a major issue?
If the truth is known, the Holy Church will protest. Even the empire can never be free from the backlash.
If you defend Crown Prince Reinhardt, it’s only natural that war will break out.
Numerous kingdoms following the Holy Church would take advantage of this opportunity to seek the downfall of the empire.
“Shinsungism cannot touch me.”
But Reinhardt was confident.
That arrogant, arrogant look.
‘Absolute.’
It was like the absolute one who was said to have built an empire.
A being who was the strongest dragon a thousand years ago, and had countless opportunities to become a ‘god’, but kicked himself out.
The words that she, too, would wake up when the one who inherited the most of her blood would wake up in her ears.
Maybe it’s just a delusional illusion. It could literally have been a dream.
A Valkyria from a thousand years ago.
To say that Gallatin was actually a human being and a friend…
If so, isn’t Reinhardt the same as the predecessor of the Absolute?
“Get some more rest. I’ll wake you up when I arrive.”
She hasn’t recovered yet.
No, it could not be recovered.
Since he ate the most powerful poison used by the Holy Church, returning is impossible.
But how did he get himself back?
At that moment, Arel heard a strange sound.
“Nice to meet you. This is the supporter nanomachine ‘Zero Two’ that takes care of the user’s mind and body.』
『I, Zero Two, will wholeheartedly support you for the rest of my life so that you can be healthy.』
『Regenerate destroyed cells.』
『It transforms destroyed cells into a ‘material’ structure.』
·······.
…

One of the features that came up as the version of Zero went up.
It’s his clone, ‘Zero Two’.
However, it could not be reproduced randomly.
Only one.
It could only be created once, mimicking previous versions of Zero.
If you do that, you will be able to recover even if it is impossible to recover like me in the past.
Of course, its function would not be comparable to the perfect Zero, but… that was the only way to save Arel.
I quietly closed my eyes.
‘Shinseonggyo.’
Demon Cult?
The drugs they use are cute.
On the other hand, the medicine used by the Sacred Church under the pretext of destroying evil was so toxic that it would wipe out existence itself.
On such a topic, it is laughable that the Sinic Religion was defined as evil and punished.
‘I won’t get rid of it.’
There is no need for the Holy Church.
It’s not evil out of necessity, it’s just evil.
So I’ll step on it miserably and get rid of it.
Of course, Arel’s condition also played a part in making that decision.
The condition of Arel brought by Flick was miserable.
The medicine melted his skin, and one of his eyes melted.
His brain function almost stopped, so he was no different from a vegetative person.
There is no medicine that can reverse such a condition.
Even being called an elixir would not bring Arel back to its original state.
If there was a way, it was zero.
In order to restore the irreversible state, there was no other way than for Zero to enter Arel directly.
It was fortunate that the clone, Zero Two, functioned properly, but the second time it was impossible.
This is because it wasn’t just copying Zero’s data.
my vitality.
Many of my brain cells and heart cells were transplanted.
Zero Two had no choice but to wake up.
It was also a nutrient for Zero Two to continuously create energy.
As a result, Arel was resurrected, but there was a problem.
‘If Arel dies, I will die too.’
Conversely, even if I die, Arell will die.
‘It’s a community of destiny.’
It is like sharing a life.
community of destiny. Is there any other word more appropriate than this?
When we arrived at the island where the Palmonto Workshop was located, Palmonto came running to us looking haggard.
“Ahhh! You have arrived! I still have something to say about the ‘Bone Dragon’…!”
“Isn’t it finished yet?”
“It seems that the energy for creating life is a bit lacking.”
it’s lack of energy
After all, I did not think that creating life would be easy.
Especially making dragons. If it were easy, everyone would have done it.
“Let’s move from Arel and talk about it separately.”
“Ah… I see!”
Palmonto looked at the sleeping Arell and nodded.
*
This dragon is a great shell.
Copied Philosopher’s Stones were also excellent vehicles.
However, it is not enough.
It was lacking.
The power to give birth to life. Skills to create.
“The outside is complete… but it won’t wake up.”
said Palmonto, looking at the ‘dragon’.
The giant dragon’s shell is complete.
The flesh was attached to the skeleton. From the outside, it’s a flawless dragon.
The problem is life. doesn’t wake up
The calculation was perfect, but the energy was lacking. Energy for the creation of life does not come from simply grinding more magic stones.
We need a more intrinsic force, the energy that is life itself.
“We need the life energy of about 10,000 people.”
“It is life energy.”
It is impossible to use 10,000 living humans as a source of energy for that dragon.
I opened the subspace and took out an object.
Seeing this, Palmonto’s eyes widened.
“That, isn’t that a rune?!”
Runes. The life itself that demons in the underworld possess.
Finding a rune with your name on it is harder than picking stars from the sky.
In the first place, when a demon dies, it disappears along with the rune. The rune engraved with one’s name could only be handed over to others by one’s own will.
However, there were as many as 50 names written on this rune.
Even each one of them are demons that made the world go wild.
That energy would be comparable to the life energy of 10,000 people. maybe even higher.
pounding!
In that instant, the runes resonated.
It was resonating with the dragon.
“I guess I need this.”
