Authentic Warrior (real warrior) Enuel Jere Charillion.
The fifth hero of the Holy Elmine Knights and the sword master of Sharillion, the true holy sword.
Legend has it that the true holy swords used by the Ascensions possessed omnipotent power, and their slashes cut mountains, slashed the sky, and split the seas.
For reference, the holy swords of Jin are legendary treasures that are the prototypes of all the holy swords currently used by the Paquorians.
The achievements made by Enuel, who is recorded as having wielded the ultimate force among the five warriors, appeared in the middle of 『Heroes’ Chronicles』, which recorded the ‘Tarhye Rondel War’ in detail, and continued until the end of the second half.
“And I knew about the stormtroopers that Enuel led, but… … I thought they were destroyed before the final battle.”
“It didn’t collapse. survived and left offspring. I was prepared for death and followed him, but he died alone, saving his ancestors… … .”
In the latter part of the war, when the Lord of the Deep, the Lord of the Bugs, the Lord of the Lizards, and the Lords of Time were sealed one after another among ＜The Forgotten Kings＞, the Spider Lord, driven by numerical inferiority, began a siege in the old capital of Harvadonia.
The Mountains of Madness were a natural fortress for the Spider Lord.
The abyss that covered Harvadonia was so overwhelming that it couldn’t even be compared to now. Criminals fell into the dead as soon as they stepped in, so it was impossible to dispatch general troops.
Even the ancestors of the beastmen, who gathered around Enuel one by one from the middle of the war and formed a unit called the assault force, could not advance forward into that overwhelming abyss.
Therefore, Tersia, the leader of ＜Things That Came＞, tried to lead only Alcaios and Enuel, the survivors of the Elmine Knights, to the Mountains of Madness… … .
“Our ancestors wanted to follow Enuel until the end. So I begged the gods. Please let us go too… … .”
“… … So, like this?”
“okay. In the end, Karenden, the black sun, blessed the ancestors. The body of a beast that can fight freely even in this extreme empire, and a strong mind that will not be eroded by any abyss.”
As a result, he lost his human form, but no one later regretted it.
Everyone had the pride of being Enuel’s assault force and just followed the owner to the north.
“It was written that those who were as brave as beasts followed the last warriors… … Could that be what you were referring to?”
“okay. They are our ancestors.”
After an endless bloody battle, Enuel, who occupied the fortress of the mountain range, deliberately dispersed the assault force around the area, climbed to the top with Alcaeus, defeated the spider lord, and sealed it.
In the process, the leader of the hero, Alcaios, died, and the last hero, Enuel, who pierced the spider lord’s heart with his sword, also died in Tersia’s arms.
If he had led the assault force up, he might have survived by using them like a shield. But Enuel didn’t.
“Amidst the echoes of our ancestors hitting the ground and weeping, dawn has finally dawned in the world and the age of the abyss is over.”
“… … .”
“When the ＜Things＞ still resided in the world, when the ＜Even Great Wall＞ was built on the border of Harvadonia, the ancestors could have returned to human bodies, but they said they did not.”
“Why?”
“To remain in this land of the abyss and protect the seals made with his blood. Therefore, this appearance is the loyalty and pride that our clan dedicates to Enuel from generation to generation.”
When Patriarch Bethuel finished his story, a faint silence fell over the tent.
The reason it was hard to see it as a lie is because I finally felt that the information gap that I had to question while reading books about the Age of the Gods was now completely filled.
And above all… … Don’t you know better than anyone in this era what those left behind can do for the departed?
“How did you feel?”
“How are you feeling?”
“There’s no way Enuel knows about their loyalty, since he’s already been killed… … But how did you feel when you knew that and kept your loyalty?”
Even at this moment, I was disillusioned with myself for asking selfish questions and smiled bitterly.
This was a question for me.
It was a question that could not be answered forever, being left alone in a world where all the colleagues who would ask this question had disappeared. So I didn’t even expect an answer.
“Child, we have a saying that funerals are not for the departed, but for those left behind.”
“For those left behind… … ?”
“Think for yourself what this means. And why don’t you know? How do you know what’s going to happen in this world full of miracles of the gods. What if, thanks to the grace of the gods, Enuel-sama returns and learns about the ancestors’ actions?”
At that question, as if stabbed by a knife, a sharp pain pierced my heart.
“You might call me stupid, but in my heart, wouldn’t you be proud of my subordinates?”
“… … .”
“Thinking about it gives me strength. So do we. When I was young, I used to picture the moment I explained the life of my ancestors to Enuel, who had returned.”
I lowered my head amidst the pain, not knowing whether to call it sadness or joy.
I wonder if
Maybe those guys did too?
Did you draw such a pleasant dream while waiting for me who promised to come back? … As I look back on your lives now and dream.
Somewhere in the depths of my heart, I felt something hard and shattering, melting and coming out with tears.
Since returning to this world, no one has been able to take this question so seriously. Someone who can give you an honest answer.
The Bedouel in front of me right now wasn’t my colleagues, but it felt like those idiots hugged me and said that, so my heart kept feeling unbearably full.
“thank you for telling me… … .”
Varzen couldn’t help but look at such a boy in bewilderment, but he would be like that too… … .
Because this kid in front of me was the first person who listened to their story so seriously and even shed tears.
For a moment, I felt my heart pounding, but then I shook my head resolutely and gathered my heart.
“Hey, stop pretending to shed tears because it’s over now.”
“… … ?”
“The years of keeping loyalty are over. When we were good, you should have been good too, now all that remains is to kill and kill each other.”
what the hell is that… … As the boy hurriedly wiped away his tears and raised his head, Chief Bethuel let out a deep sigh.
“There is a cloud of war in this land right now. I repeatedly warned the wolves that the Seal of the Spider Lord was gradually weakening… … .”
“Those motherf*ckers didn’t even listen.”
“How is that possible? There’s no way Gwangryong didn’t know… … .”
“This is the land of the abyss, so Gwangryong’s eyes can’t reach it.”
As if not giving a chance to be shocked by the chieftain’s words, Varlzen continued to make shocking noises.
“Anyway, they treated us like animals and didn’t even listen to us. I can’t keep the seal anymore.”
“That means… … ?”
“The Spider Lord, or his minions, are about to be unsealed. You know it when you see ancient beings appear leading a blizzard.”
Like that, how did this happen?
It’s a different story than when the lizard lord was unsealed 300 years ago. That’s what the warlocks were forcibly freed from, and now this… … .
“How can I stop it? If I leave it like this, really big things will happen, right?”
“Sheesh, if we could stop that, would we be warriors or prisoners? We can’t stop it with our own strength. So we have no choice but to run under the barrier.”
“But as far as I know, the white wolves must be blocking the beastmen from passing through the barrier.”
“The fake wolves have to mess around to break through by force.”
Lane looked blankly at Barlzen.
It’s not that I don’t know what that means. It was because I was curious about what kind of situation Barlzen had just uttered and whether he knew the weight of his actions.
However, the chief must have interpreted the meaning of the boy’s gaze as the former, and the chief spoke in a sighing voice.
“Ralquen’s son, Gryfion, is gathering all the tribes. To break down the barrier and get down below it.”
* * *
The abyss has the property of eroding the world. If left unattended, even an abyss the size of a speck of dust will one day multiply to the point of swallowing the entire world.
＜Seolryeongjangseong＞ was built by the White Dragon Corps under the guidance of the gods to block the expansion of the abyss.
Even the gods could not completely purify Harvadonia, which was the home of the old abyss, so they built a barrier of light on the border to block the threat of the abyss toward the civilized world.
‘To destroy such a place… … .’
Could this situation be seen as a precursor to destruction? I couldn’t understand how the situation had come to this.
In this situation, the light dragon Haraderiman and the water dragon Jericha are wide-eyed, and even the real dragon named Alakish is dispatched to this place.
“Until about five hundred years ago, there were no problems. But at some point after that, the white wolves stopped even listening to me.”
With the contact between the light dragon and the water dragon cut off, Arakish waited only for the fire dragon’s call and continued to watch over the abyss while taking care of the beasts here.
He didn’t say anything, but I can’t help but say that Arakish’s no-nonsense, sincere personality also has some problems.
If he had detected such a serious change, he would have had to immediately report to the new dragons after accusing and condemning the wolves of the wall.
‘Yellow dragons like Yoshhar are good at this sort of thing… … .’
The Red Dragon Corps was like a warrior when compared to a human being, and in this way, everyone tended to be less talkative and devoted to the task given to them.
It’s worked as an advantage for a long history, but it works so badly here… … .
I had a hunch of something ominous.
I had the delusion that this situation, this situation that had reached the extreme, seemed to have been designed by someone over a long period of time.
From noble mtl dot com
‘After turning the heroic tales of beastmen into a story for discipline, they slowly spread the story that beastmen are really cursed creatures… … It separates humans from beastmen and amplifies the conflict until a war breaks out.’
And so that Gwangryong and Waterryong can’t see the north, accidents big and small happen on the continent. It can also be seen as a so-called disruptive operation.
If this is really their plan, and everything is going according to their intentions… … .
I suddenly remembered the destruction of the world that Karenden had shown me. And what he said to me.
“Our village is also preparing to join Grifion. I will leave in ten days.”
If the barrier collapses, the destruction of the world will accelerate. And it is also fatal for mankind that the beastmen turn into enemies.
We can’t let everything go the way the warlocks plan.
I tried to justify my actions by endlessly recalling these prudent calculations, but in fact, my true intention was embarrassingly simple.
“Can you help me solve this problem gently?”
I want to help.
Just wanted to help.
He might have seen the shadows of his fellow warrior party members in them, and he might have felt a arrogant affinity for the hero Enuel… … .
“What did you say now?”
If I had to come to a conclusion without being sloppy, as I said before, I just want to help.
“The chief said it. He said he was loyal to Enuel because he might return. But how would you feel if you heard that the beastmen broke down the barrier?”
“that… … But I have a duty to protect my family in the village. I can’t stand it any longer. If you stay here, you will be eaten by the abyss.”
“So the bottom line is that all you have to do is cross the barrier, right?”
“Damn it! If it was easy, who would be doing this now! It’s not something a kid like you can handle lightly!”
I waited for Barlzen to get angry, then put his hand on my chest and said confidently. It’s time to use the status of an aristocrat, which was so annoying.
“I am a noble with a fairly high rank in the Empire. If I were to say it, even the Baekrangdae might hear it.”
“You are laughing! Will they listen to your little boy? Are you the son of some emperor?”
“Well, he may not listen to me, but it’s different if he comes out.”
“What else is that kid?”
“She is the daughter of the Page family, with authority comparable to the Elector Count. They are descendants of the father of magic.”
At that shocking remark, the chieftain and Barlzen looked back at Cassena with surprised eyes.
“If it’s the founder of magic… … Emitsa?”
“The Black Sun treated me like my own daughter… … ?”
As expected, the name of Emmitsa, who was in charge of an axis of the ancient legend, seems to have spread widely even among beastmen.
For reference, Emitsa and Enuel are great people who lived in the same era. There was a clear difference in the size and battlefield of their active activities, but still (Emmett was a young girl at the time of the Tarhye Rondel War).
Perhaps he felt a sense of kinship with such great men as pillars, but the wariness in Barlzen’s eyes had visibly disappeared.
“When the gates open peacefully, there is no need to break down the barriers, right?”
“… … !”
“So please take us with you when you go to Griffion. I will convince him, and I will also convince the white wolves.”
