＜ 12 : Apostle, Euthenia High Lost (2) ＞
First Apostle, Eutenia High Lost.
That was the new name given to her.
“Is that so. I, for you…”
Accepting the new fate given to her, Yutenia closed her eyes and smiled.
Enormous magical powers from a transcendent being flowed into Utenia.
It was an amount that could not even be compared with the dust-like magic that an individual could possess.
An overwhelming power that transcends cognition.
Facing it, Yutenia felt a sense of wonder.
Just by taking over the power, he is feeling a tremendous sense of omnipotence.
If so, how great is the existence that gives her this power?
“If you have this kind of power, it can definitely be of help to you.”
Yet she hoped that she would be a help to the great One’s plans.
Because that was the only milestone left for her today.
tuk.
A book fell in front of Euthenia, who was indulging in the faith she held in her heart.
Yutenia looked down at her feet at the sound from right in front of her.
“book……?”
Yutenia picked up the black-covered book placed in front of her.
The book in Yutenia’s hand was tied in a thin chain with colorful decorations.
The book was quite light in contrast to the thickness that seemed heavy.
shudder.
After untying the chain, Yutenia turned over the cover.
The first page, which appeared beyond the cover, had strange characters written on it for the first time.
I can’t read, but I can understand.
The book that Euthenia had contained contradictory contents.
“Greemore. Is this the name of this book?”
Holy shit, Grimore.
It was a book that contained fragments of the great man she served.
At the same time as realizing the true name of this book, Yutenia was able to intuit that it was made just for her.
size. touch. Texture when touched.
All of that was for Euthenia.
Even the powers within it.
“Shadow Touch. I have that ability.”
If you are a true owner, you will realize its value just by touching it.
It was the same with Yutenia holding the Grimore.
Yutenia stroked the grimore she was holding and raised the power that was sleeping inside.
shadow touch.
Grimour’s ability to return the poured magical power to physical power was activated.
Countless hands reach out from her shadow and begin to scrutinize the things around her.
“……”
wobbly.
A nearby tree was cut in half in an instant.
Quang!
The place where the shadow’s hand had passed was dented.
Each time Euthenia waved her hand into the air, a hand reaching out from beneath her shadow casts a force of force.
The terrain changes according to the command of Utenia.
A mighty power that is merely borrowed makes this possible for her.
Yutenia’s eyes gleamed with overwhelming power.
“Ah, really…”
It is truly a beautiful grace.
A voice was heard once again in Yutenia’s ears, who had such thoughts.
A majestic voice that resounds heavily in my ears.
It was the same voice that had just called her an apostle.
– “Apostle. Make an offering.”
“A sacrifice…?”
At the voice calling for her, Yutenia looked up at the sky again.
it’s a sacrifice All she had now was her own body, which made a living on baguettes.
There was nothing worth sacrificing to Euthenia locked in the mountains.
As Yutenia’s puzzled gaze turned to the sky, this time, another content flowed into her ear.
– “I will return the previously cast magic.”
“Ah… do you want a magic book?”
– “Offer a sacrifice. Offer me a token of your oath.”
nod.
Yutenia nodded, moving her head, and lowered the Grimore to the floor.
Then, he reached out towards the magic book he had placed nearby.
A spell book in which the magic of the barrier is written.
It was something she had received from a great being some time ago.
“I’ve been indebted to you a lot.”
Yutenia’s hand passed through the cover of the spell book.
This item was, to the last, an item that had been downloaded from her master.
As it was a borrowed item, it was also an item that had to be returned to the owner someday.
Yutenia’s gaze, who was about to return the spell book she had been given as a gift, turned to Grimore.
When I tried to return the item, one more difficulty arose.
“But how do we offer this?”
Even Yutenia knows what it feels like to be an offering.
However, she did not even know the ritual of offering sacrifices for her master.
It was the grimoire given to her that helped Euthenia’s curiosity.
The hand that rose from the shadow of Euthenia grabbed Grimoire, then turned the page and unfolded a page.
What unfolded before her eyes was the content of the ritual of offering.
The right place with the necessary supplies.
In addition to the spells required for the ritual.
Euthenia’s eyes swept through the contents of the Grimore that unfolded in front of her.
“It’s really helpful.”
When you need power, it lends you great power.
When you need knowledge, you lend it.
It was truly an item worthy of an apostle who followed a great being.
Yutenia, who scanned the contents of Grimore, stood up with a magic book.
Then he moved the shadow’s hands and started drawing on the floor.
“——Life. Build stairs.”
The floor is dug up and all kinds of geometric patterns begin to be drawn on the floor.
one. triangle. one. Square.
Unreadable characters were written around the sequentially drawn figures.
Its contents are words of endless praise to the great master.
It was the only link given to those who longed for a sky they could not look up to.
“——One way to glory.”
In the middle of the figure drawn on the floor, Yutenia put the magic book down.
The magic book placed in the place of the sacrifice soaked in the light.
The mouth of Yutenia, who placed the magic book, continued to mutter the incantations.
Altars and offerings. And it was only when the incantations were united that the ceremony of offering was completed.
“——One road to death.”
Tub. Tub.
Euthenia, who had left the sacrifice, took a step back.
The Grimore, who had floated around her, also retreated.
A mighty magical energy swept through the huge altar where Yutenia and Grimore existed.
“——Respect it. Respect it. Make an offering.”
——Sing the hymn of life.
When the endless spell of Utenia ended.
The light that rose from the center of the altar faded.
The magic book she had placed in the middle of the altar also completely disappeared from the seat.
Yutenia’s eyes scanned the appearance of the altar where the magic book had disappeared.
The magic book that was occupying its place had disappeared without a trace, as if it had been truly dedicated to the gods.
“Is this the tribute?”
He handed something to a great being with his own hands.
Even if it wasn’t his original thing, it was true that it felt strange.
Yutenia’s cheeks lit up as she looked at the altar where the offering had been completed.
When the offering was over, I felt a little excited.
Eutenia, feeling good, smiled and hugged Grimore into her arms.
“It feels good.”

Holy Land, Crossbridge.
This place, overflowing with all kinds of pilgrims every day, was full of priests who worshiped the six temples.
The priests of Crossbridge were aware of the existence of other gods, but they did not even acknowledge their worship.
To worship other gods than the six gods was heresy for them.
Except for the six great gods, they are evil and minor gods.
That was the only way and truth allowed to the priests of Crossbridge.
And it was the elite soldiers of the Holy Land called the Heretic Inquisitors who moved to investigate those who rejected the simple truth.
“Is it a letter from Huss?”
Evan Allamere.
As a heretic interrogator, he muttered as he looked at the letter sent to him.
The sender of the letter is the Imperial Hus Alamere.
He was Evan’s brother and at the same time Cloud’s second-level investigator.
Upon receiving Huss’s letter, Evan opened the seal and began to examine the contents.
“Hmm…”
What Evan received from his brother wasn’t just a greeting.
The disappearance of an investigator who was chasing the existence of evil spirits.
The villagers suddenly disappeared.
As Evan’s gaze went down the letter, Evan’s face began to harden.
When the gaze that had been directed downwards went down to the last line of the letter.
Ethan put down the letter and couldn’t help but sigh.
“…the evil spirits. You’re thinking dangerous thoughts.”
evil spirit.
It was a term used to refer to those who entice people to create confusion even in other disciplines other than the six gods.
The actions of evil spirits are usually harmful to people.
indiscriminate destruction. human sacrifice. A witchcraft that sacrifices people.
Either way, they were out of order and justice.
Nevertheless, they could not be easily stopped because they were essentially beings beyond human beings.
“The hero hasn’t appeared yet.”
Where there is darkness, there is light.
The existence of evil spirits that threatened the peace of the continent inevitably brought about the emergence of heroes.
However, no oracle has yet come down from any temple about the appearance of a hero.
It was a story that the existence of evil spirits itself was a lie, or that it was not at a level that could be a danger to the continent.
It was something that any heretical inquisitor would laugh at and pass by.
Evan, too, would have ignored the content of the letter if it had not been for Heath.
‘But it would be better to visit it first. Because there is a possibility that it is heresy.’
However, he could not casually ignore the letter the brother had sent.
When Huss asks for help like this, it means that something needs help.
Evan, who was worried, opened the drawer and took out a sheet of paper.
Then, he began to write down the documents for going out with all his heart.
It was preparations to visit his brother in the Empire.
