106 – Dark Dragon and Fire Dragon – 7
‘A goddess.’
I have known about the existence of God since long ago. The concept of divine power exists right away, and Laura also said that she had set up a demon god as a contrast to the goddess of light.
It’s because I don’t have a very good image of a goddess.
Isn’t he the one who caused the corruption of the Starlight Church by only giving him power and leaving the Church neglected? That alone was enough to throw the image to the ground.
However, I thought that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to accept a simple conversation request, so I calmly held the holy sword.
Leona had a smiling face, as if she was just happy that the goddess was paying attention to me as well.
ㅡCan you hear me…… ?
A voice that was more innocent and pitiful than I expected flowed into my head. It was quite unexpected. I thought the voice would be a little more overbearing, blunt, or steeped in a sense of authority.
It was the same with the use of honorifics, and with a bit of exaggeration, it was safe to say that the voice sounded like someone dying from an illness. However, since she did not feel weak, she wondered if she was a goddess after all.
“Yes. “I can hear you, Goddess.”
Ah…… What a relief. I’m so glad to have met you, at least in person, like this. I’ve watched you here over and over again.
Strangely enough, I felt like the emotion of the voice itself was flowing into my head. The emotion contained in the words just now was pure joy.
Although we must also suspect the possibility that this sense itself was manipulated. If you start doubting things one by one like that, there will be no end to it, but there is no harm in doubting until the purpose and intention become clear.
ㅡTrue. I should introduce myself first. I am the goddess of light. There is no other name, so you can call me whatever you want.
“I understand. Goddess. “What made you want to talk to me?”
Yes? Can we talk just a little bit more? There’s still plenty of time…… Please.
Then his voice became a little urgent. I also felt a little nervous. I wondered why. There would be no reason to be nervous if the conversation ended here.
“I don’t have that much time. “There’s someone I need to bring in before the dragon I just defeated dies.”
Now that I’ve said that, I thought I should contact you. She handed over the communication tool she was holding in her hand to Leona. Leona nodded and ran off somewhere.
-Well, you see…… All right. I’ll keep it short.
His voice became slightly sullen. He seemed to have sensed the uncomfortable feelings in my words.
I guess I saw it right. It’s true that I don’t have a very negative view of that side.
– Could you please help me?
“No.”
ㅡEh, eh?
I guess I hadn’t thought that he would reject me before even hearing the contents, but I felt very embarrassed from the voice ringing in my head.
“I don’t have such good feelings towards the goddess. Because she only gave them strength and did not interfere at all, the goddess’s followers openly committed all kinds of bad things. “If the Goddess had paid any attention to the earth, she would have taken divine power from those who were corrupted by human standards.”
ㅡ… ….
“Even by human standards, there were not only bad things. Did you know that the entire Starlight Church was corrupted by being possessed by a succubus? It seems to me that you didn’t know. Even after being possessed, everyone continued to use their divine powers without any problems. If this is not evidence that the Goddess has no interest in the earthly world, does that mean she is on the same side as the demons?”
ㅡThat’s not true! It’s too much to say that I’m on the same side as the demons!
The goddess, who had been quietly listening to me, refuted as if she were screaming. It seemed like he couldn’t bear to say that he was on the same side as the demons.
“Then you should have acted a long time ago before things happened like this. At least from what I can see, the goddess didn’t seem to have any interest in the earth at all. She or she thought that no matter what happened to humans, all they had to do was come to faith. Please tell me if there is anything wrong with what I said. However, if one of those two reasons is correct for leaving the church alone, I don’t think there is any reason for me to accept the goddess’s request.”
The Holy Sword became quiet. For now, I’ve finished what I had to say. What happens next is up to the goddess.
‘How are you going to react?’
If you get angry and get angry here, you won’t see anything more with that side, and if you apologize honestly, you may change your mind depending on the reason why you have neglected Ji Sang for so long.
Or give a shout out to Laura for setting up the goddess like that. Ultimately, the main thrust of the setting is the world created by Laura’s hands.
It would be foolish for me to say it first in a heated tone and expect a good response, but if you are talking about right and wrong, there is nothing much to say on that side either. The denomination was already ruined when it was allowed to rot like that.
ㅡEveryone…… That’s correct.
And, the goddess accepted it obediently.
‘Aren’t you a more stubborn person than I thought?’
If he were a god, he could have accepted the fact that his mistakes were pointed out by humans as an insult. I internally adjusted my evaluation slightly upward.
ㅡHa, but I couldn’t help it. Me too
Suddenly, the voice in my head suddenly stopped. As I was in the middle of speaking, just as I was wondering, the voice that had broken off came again.
ㅡI am very sorry for this matter. Mummy Crate.
Unlike the first time, he spoke in a very blunt and business-like tone.
The overall voice was the same, but the way he spoke was completely different. If their voices weren’t similar, I would have thought they were different people. The first thing that came to mind was something like this.
ㅡI understand your questions. But it was inevitable. This is because a part of me has been transplanted into the Holy Sword, and therefore the act of checking the ground is only possible through the Holy Sword. I really didn’t know anything about earthly things until now. This is because the Holy Sword did not choose a warrior for quite some time, and the part of me that resided in the Holy Sword could not awaken until today came.
“A part of it was transplanted into the Holy Sword?”
ㅡHowever, since it has been said that the church has become corrupted, I will take away all of my power that has taken root on the earth, except that of the warrior. Mira Krait, you can help the warrior chosen by the Holy Sword and share its power with new believers. That’s the most I can do.
The holy sword shone brightly. I was dumbfounded. Was it possible for divine power to be collected so easily?
ㅡA request to help me is not a request that will make you feel unpleasant. You can help the hero deal with the demon. Unlike me, whose power is limited, the power of the Demon God continues to grow, and it is certain that one day it will become so great that it will even suppress my power.
It was something that had to be done someday. If that’s what you meant to ask for, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference if you accepted.
But was there a setting like that in the novel? Or, like the existence of a demon god, this may be a setting that Laura did not directly appear, but was added arbitrarily as it turned into reality.
ㅡThis is all I have to say. I look forward to seeing you again someday, Mira Krayt.
“Wait a minute. Why has your tone suddenly changed?”
ㅡ… ….
No answer came back. The voice that was ringing in my head disappeared. I tried talking to the goddess, but I felt like my curiosity only increased.
‘Is this also the aftermath of me changing the plot?’
She knows that the goddess in the original only told her to kill the demon king, but she never mentioned killing the demon god.

But now they are openly telling us to kill the demon god, not the demon lord, so I wondered if this was also the aftermath of me distorting the plot.
“I contacted the chairman. He said he would fly here as soon as possible. What? “Why are you looking like that?”
Leona, who was about to return her magic tool, tilted her head.
“Did you hear the goddess’s voice too?”
“Of course I heard it.”
“Can you explain what the goddess said?”
“Can you explain how she said it? Uh…… Should I say that even though she’s just super thin, it’s the kind of feeling that makes you know she’s a goddess as soon as you hear it? She can’t explain well. First of all, it felt like that. She was very kind, and as soon as I heard her, I thought she was a goddess! “I feel like I’m doing it.”
It seemed like it was probably the first time I had heard her speak. First of all, it seemed like he didn’t show that side of himself to Leona.
‘Should I ask Laura?’
Although she did not appear in the main story, she may have set up the goddess as a dual personality or twin. The myth that gods are twins or have siblings who rule over different areas is more common than you might think.
For now, I kept my doubts to myself and waited for the chairman to arrive. Not long after, a dragon of considerable size was seen flying from the direction of the Empire.
The chairman was also of a considerable size, although not as large as Mahbat, to the extent that one could see it at first glance. “Cow,” The dragon landed. The huge body slowly transformed into a human shape.
“Makhbat.”
The chairman, who had finally become the person I knew, growled as he looked at the writhing dragon lying on the floor.
He winked at Leona. Leona, realizing the meaning, walked away, and I followed behind. The chairman walked right in front of Mahbat and talked for a while.
ㅡ!!!!!!
What on earth did he just say? Mahbat became enraged and tried to get up. His front legs touched the ground and he seemed to exert strength, but eventually he was unable to get up and collapsed again.
Step by step, very slowly, the chairman approached Mach Bat’s chest and stopped right in front of Yeokrin. His fingers, grasping something tightly, penetrated the back and dug into it.
The chairman stood still for a very long time. How long had passed before Mahbat’s body began to disappear like smoke? In fact, it was such a surreal sight that I thought the dragon itself was an illusion.
When Mahbat’s large body finally disappeared, only the red crystal remained. The chairman approached, holding a red crystal in his hand.
“It’s done. Really…… Thank you so much. “With this, that child will find rest.”
The chairman bowed towards us with tears in his eyes.
“He was destined to die anyway. But that… ….”
“It’s part of Dragon Heart. Isn’t that something he doesn’t need anymore? I’ll get it. It’s yours. “It doesn’t matter how you treat it, so use it however you like.”
In the original work, it was said that the warrior took out part of the dragon heart after defeating Mahbat. I remember that the effect was quite amazing, but what was it?
Leona suddenly took the dragon heart that was handed to her, and after thinking about something, she held it out to me.
“Here. Take it, Mira.”
“Why?”
“I didn’t do anything in particular, right? Mira, you did it all. So just keep this for yourself. “It’s enough for me to hear a thank you from the chairman.”
“It’s enough. Just leave it there. “Because you’ve done enough.”
The reason I was able to finish that guy with one blow was thanks to Leona awakening her holy sword. I overpowered Leona and placed her dragon heart inside her uniform.
“It’s too much. “Even though I said I didn’t want to, they forced it open and shoved that big thing in.”
“Don’t say anything strange.”
I’ve been feeling less active these days, but it seems like my true nature isn’t going anywhere. Leona smiled with her mouth and pretended to cry with her eyes, and the chairman, who was looking at us like this, was actually blushing.
No, is he that old and ashamed of this?
“Mummy!”
When I returned to the academy, leaving behind the chairman who said there was still work left to do, Rosaria rushed over to me. She looked like she was wearing a normal school uniform, not a school uniform made of starlight thread like usual.
The buttons on her chest were all undone, as if the size wasn’t right.
“I’m in real trouble! Divine power-“
“Leona. “Could you please lend me a holy sword?”
“Okay. Here.”
Leona was not embarrassed and held out her holy sword out of reflex. Holding her holy sword, she lightly touched Rosaria’s shoulder with her side blade as she made a fuss. As soon as she did, her radiance radiated from Rosaria.
“…… What is this.”
“What?”
Rosaria, who had been making a fuss about her divine power disappearing, looked dumbfounded. I returned the holy sword and laughed lightly.
“It’s time for her to become a real saint.”
“Eck.”
Rosaria was disgusted.
