Episode 171
Elizaru Pinus.
As the mother of Allen and Julius and the heir of the Rupinus family, she was able to obtain numerous materials with the help of the family.
From fields related to soul and space to throws that Allen couldn’t save.
Eliza, who looked at all of them, drew results even though she did not attempt magic herself based on her knowledge of the room gathered by the Rupinus family and her brilliant brain.
‘It is impossible to find Julius with the current technology.’
No, even if they tried to find the soul of Julius, it was also difficult to restore it back to its original body.
That was her conclusion.
All the materials Allen saw in the Rupinus family were also part of the investigation.
However, she couldn’t give up.
Julius was the son of his own stomach.
A stranger robbed him of his body, but where are his parents to see him?
But magic, necromancy, and even demonic contracts.
There was no guarantee that anything would completely bring Julius back. All of them have side effects and are full of vague methods.
So while she was conducting research with her old friends and the power of her family, an idea came to mind.
‘If it is impossible by human artificial means:
What are the miracles that God has wrought?
Would that be impossible?
Her next story began with this question.
“•••Is it a miracle?”
“Yeah, a miracle. Some call it divine power:’
divine power.
The principle of operation is unknown, and it is the power used in the temple before the Great Fall, and it is a power that can only be used if you believe in God.
“Now that no one can use that power? You’re asking for an opinion on that power.”
Arcandus and Sonned shook their heads at her question.
“•••Sorry, but I never thought about it.”
“I’ve heard from Allen-sama about Julius-sama…but only Prince Allen knows the way Eliza-sama said.”
They knew that Julius had been taken over by the devil, but they did not think of any way to get him back.
Eliza continued explaining as if it was okay.
“Then how about anything else?”
She turned her head to them, not paying any attention to the cloth covering my eyes.
“Now think about it. Spirits, magic, and auras. All those powers have a source.”
Magic copied from dragon magic and an auror that started from dragon pierce.
Spirit magic that deals with spirits born naturally, and magic that borrows the power of other beings and artificial conditions.
“Then where did prana come from?”
“•••I know that it comes from feelings such as desire or longing for oneself, aspiration and belief.”
In response to Arcandus’ principled answer, she questioned.
“Then what about divine power?”
“The divine power is also based on faith in God, as I just said.”
“If those two are based on beliefs, what’s the difference between them in the end?”
He opened his mouth to answer Eliza’s repeated questions as much as possible.
“If prana is a belief in oneself and some purpose, then divine power is a belief in some absolute being.”
“Then, assuming that there is a being close to God, can belief in him create divine power?”
“That… I don’t know.”
Arcanthus’s reply was interrupted.
But Eliza’s questions continued.
“If what the believer believes is a living creature or a non-existent fiction, if the divine power is maintained.”
What she asked was something Arcanthus had never thought about.
“Doesn’t that divine power come from humans, not Gods?”
Arcandus shut his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
Sonned felt that Arcanthus’ actions were taken for granted.
How long has it been since the Holy Power disappeared after the Great Fall? Occasionally, people called paladins or priests roamed around outside, but in the end, the power they used was magic or prana.
How many people think deeply about such a divine power?
Arcandus closed his eyes, organized his thoughts, and answered with a face of uncertainty.
“•••If what Eliza-sama said is true, it can be said that both prana and divine power are derived from human belief. Am I correct in my understanding?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Divine power can come from humans.
‘if so… .’
Is it possible for humans to perform divine miracles?
Eliza’s eyes looked at Arcanthus and Sonned. Something else was reflected in her eyes, which were covered with a cloth.
white light.
Each of them had a different brilliance shining from their bodies.
The intensity of the light was different, but it was clear that it was related to the divine power.
Eliza recently gained a special eye while studying divine powers. However, perhaps because of that side effect, the light flashed from his eyes when he looked at others, so he had no choice but to cover his eyes.
This ability was too demanding for Eliza to handle.
Well, it won’t take long to get used to.
“The reason for this explanation is simple: to inform Allen about my research and to seek cooperation.”
“•••Okay. In that case, what do you need?”
Her research came to a standstill with that hypothesis.
This is because the prerequisites for proving that theory were difficult.
“You don’t have to do anything… you just have to tell Allen. I want to borrow Linbell for a while.”
“••• Linbell, yes. Let me tell you that for now.”
Eliza thought about what to say, and then said with a playful smile.
“Say you want to borrow the power of the Apostle.”
“Just tell me that, and Allen will understand.”
Arcanthus noticed that he was connected to one of the many secrets Allen was hiding.
As the conversation seemed to be over, Arcandus spoke again.
“Then we’ll see if we can.”
“Thanks for helping me escape from the forest.”
The conversation is over.
Sonned thought so, and Arcandus was no different.
None of her stories were useless. When their tension was so relaxed, Eliza opened her mouth.
When they stopped and turned around, she asked, pointing to the window in the room.
“Can you tell me what that sky looks like? It’s because I don’t know what the weather is like right now.”
Arcandus replied as if nothing could be done.
“The sky is clear. There is a blue sky and there is not a single cloud. It looks like the sun will start to set in a little while.”
“That’s all? Nothing else?”
“The other thing… The wind is cold, so you should be careful when opening the window:’
“•••okay?”
Eliza stared silently at Arcanthus’s face as he said that, and said with a smile.
“Speak to Gardel who is waiting outside and he will take you to the upper branch.”
She looked out the window at the sky as they heard their footsteps leaving.
The sky that came into Eliza’s eyes.
Down in the dark sky without a single starlight.
It was a scene in which two lights, black and white, sparkled.
“•••This is the seventh time.”
Heizel drew the magic circle he had prepared in advance on the bottom floor of the ruins.
There were no mistakes because I had already practiced several times. It didn’t matter if there was a mistake.
It didn’t matter how many more failures I had because Psyche promised me a lot of support. Of course, it was better to draw them all at once if possible.
The door on the lowest floor was all smashed.” The treasure inside will also come to be retrieved by other demons in a little while.
Unless it was a huge ruin like a super-large ruin, there was no difficulty in attacking a small scale alone.
As he finished his work and exited the ruins, there was Inyeong waving to him.
“Julius, have you done everything I entrusted to you?”
“Of course I did.”
Heizel, who was approaching him, frowned for a moment at the scent of blood felt in Julius’ body.
It was not the kind of blood that was the guardian of the ruins, such as biological weapons, monsters, or monsters. It was the smell of human blood that I had been tired of smelling.
“••• Didn’t I tell you to stay out of sight as much as possible?”
“There’s no need to hide it if you die anyway.”
“If those who attack the ruins suddenly disappear, there may be people who find them suspicious, don’t you think?”
Heizel told Julius to set up a magic circle on the bottom floor of the ruins.
I was told to proceed as secretly as possible. However, Julius did the work within less than a day after doing it separately.
“I risk my life and die, isn’t it? I’m going to die with blood anyway, but it doesn’t change anything.”
Heizel looked at Julius for a moment without saying a word.
‘••• Already stained,
It is difficult to go back to that state. As if he had fought like crazy with the hero until the Great Downfall. It was close to a curse from which you could not escape once you fell into it.
Having experienced it, he understood Julius’s condition.
‘It wouldn’t have been that far a few days ago… .’
What was the trigger?
If you still want to resist, it wouldn’t be impossible.
When Heisel fell in thought while looking at Julius, Julius also looked at the window that appeared in front of him.
[Kill Lilith, the man who ruined the original ending. time limit
: 8 : 11 : 1
[Reward: Fragment of Truth (that??) x2]
‘Should I kill you?’
But if you kill him, Heisel will run rampant like the original.
So, doesn’t it just repeat the same ending even if you kill him?
[Kill Lilith before Heisel’s feelings deepen. Time limit: 8：11：08]
[Reward: Fragments of Truth???) x 2]
No, it will still be fine. Because Heisel had only been with Lilith for a few months.
It’s not like they spent more than 10 years together like the original. So it might be ok.
‘No, but Heisel must have been with Lilith before reincarnation… .’
[Kill Lilith before the new Demon Lord descends. Time limit: 8:11:05]
But what if a new demon lord descends?
The original has already changed, and Estodor is also moving faster than the original.
What if something bigger happens than letting Lilith go and betraying her?
‘Still, Heisel is the main character in the original story… .’
[It’s my ██████. Kill Lilith. Time limit: 8:11:01]
Lilith… .
[You must kill Lilith. Time limit : 8 : 11 : 0
‘You must kill Lilith.’
The rainbow magic eyes flashed in Julius’ eyes for a moment and then disappeared.
Yes, Heisel will understand anyway. How would he know if he secretly killed him when he opened the portal for the demons without needing to tell them?
Originally, she would not be able to go to the new Demon King’s Bukhara Demon Realm, but even if she disappears as it is right now, Heizel will have no choice but to convince her that she has returned to the Demon Realm.
Woojin Kim opened the quest window.
I had to check how much time was left on the quest.
[Kill Lilith, the man who ruined the original ending. Time limit：8：10：55]
[Reward: Fragments of Truth???)x2]
‘8 days… .’
For a moment, he felt dizzy.
However, when the mental defense skills, including passive skills, did not activate, they dismissed it as just a coincidence.
“Heisel, let’s go back first. We’ve taken care of all the surrounding ruins, so why not just wait until the magic circle’s magic power is charged?”
Heisel saw him frowned while laughing to himself, but he shut his mouth as he thought that he could bear it for a while.
If you succeed in opening the portal after a week… This time we will be heading to the sea.
Without getting caught up in your ankles elsewhere.
‘•••It wouldn’t be bad to go with Lilith.’
they moved on
The final rest came before their plans were put into effect.
