Episode 198
“Nine… … is it?”
Nahash asks with a suspicious gaze.
I smiled and put my hand on his shoulder.
“So, who did you think it was?”
“no… … The atmosphere has changed considerably… … .”
Nahash gave me a suspicious look.
The embarrassment shown by this normally straightforward guy was quite refreshing.
but.
Even for me, it feels refreshing, but in the eyes of others, it will feel much bigger.
“Are you feeling better now?”
“I feel much more relieved. Rather… … .”
I passed by a confused Nahash.
At the same time, he and Elina.
And the surroundings of the unconscious Ruin were cut off and isolated.
“Wait here. “I’ll do it myself from now on.”
After saying that, I left them behind and approached Yuri.
The land around Yuri was a mess from the gathered magic.
Yuri, who has unlocked all of her power as a source.
Her appearance was already changing into something that could hardly be called human.
“glass.”
I called out to Yuri, who transformed into a magical giant.
– … … Nine?
Yuri flinched and stopped changing and looked back at me.
I had to look up thanks to the size that had grown significantly.
– That atmosphere… … Have you finally realized it?
Yuri asks with wide eyes.
At that question, I burst out laughing.
Her unique way of speaking, which was at odds with her transcendent atmosphere, did not suit her very well.
“as you see.”
I shrugged and passed Yuri.
“I’ll do it myself from now on. “Thank you for protecting people.”
– Is that possible? No matter how much you are, Swallow is a formidable opponent. To deal with you who has just awakened… … .
“do not worry.”
I calmly accepted Yuri’s words full of worry.
Awakening.
Yuri is right about simple awakening, but what I achieved was not awakening.
There is no need to use the grand word ‘awakening’ in the first place.
I just remembered who I am.
– … … If that’s the case.
Yuri, who instantly returned to human form, looked at me.
It was a look in my eyes that was a mixture of anxiety about whether I could deal with Swallow and relief that I didn’t have to unleash the power of the source.
“What do you plan to do?”
I shrugged my shoulders in response to Yuri’s question as he came up next to me.
“What should I do? What should I do?” “You have to do what you do.”
I answered briefly and unfolded the source.
With a strong gust of wind, the source of existence took control of the area.
Yuri, embarrassed by the momentary change, grabbed my shoulder.
“what are you doing? There are some people who haven’t been able to evacuate yet… … .”
“don’t worry.”
I answered in a relaxed manner.
I know very well what she is worried about.
Because opening up power as a source in this world would be ruining the world.
But for me now, I don’t have to worry about that.
The reason why the world is being destroyed is because they cannot control their own power.
This was something that did not apply to me, who fully realized my existence just before extinction.
Like Balkan and Kreia.
“You will find out soon enough.”
“What is that… … .”
“Just watch. Oh, and.”
As I spoke, I placed my hand on Yuri’s shoulder.
Yuri, who was suddenly looking at me as if asking why, flinched and trembled.
“Let me borrow this.”
“you… … .”
I turned my head away without listening to what Yuri said.
Swallow’s appearance was reflected in the changed field of vision.
This guy is struggling not to be crushed by the source I emit.
I walked towards that guy at a leisurely pace and said,
“Swallow.”
The guy, startled by the voice calling him, turned his attention to me.
The shaking gaze is full of disbelief.
That disbelief soon turned into anger and poured out on me.
-How come you are here!
A harsh cry rang in my ears.
I answered, playing with my ears with my hands.
“Can’t you see it? It was a failure. “Barkan.”
– failure? Failure?
Swallow shouted in a very agitated manner.
– lie! It’s a lie! It took 500 years to catch you! I made it so that I could never escape… … .
The guy who was yelling suddenly looked like he realized something.
– Right. You are Balkan! This is a plan to absorb existence and dispose of me as I have become useless! Give it a try! Unlike other guys, I won’t be defeated easily!
The guy who screamed like he was crazy raised all his strength.
The resistance was so fierce that the source that was suppressing him began to be pushed away.
I didn’t do my best to subdue him, so it was a natural result.
“I knew you would react that way.”
I smiled and looked straight at Swallow.
Since I was one of the main culprits in the incident, it must be surprising that I am okay.
Clearly, what Barkan did was enormous.
Because it was a design that continued from the previous world.
Well, even if he didn’t believe it, nothing would change.
Balkan failed and I know everything.
“Come to think of it. “You were a guy who liked to eat.”
I looked at Swallow and opened my power.
The pressure he put on him before was simply a demonstration of his power as a source.
The real thing started now.
– Ugh! Does not matter! I’ll eat it all up!
The enraged Swallow spread its shadow in all directions.
The toothy shadow grew bigger and bigger as it ate my source.
I had no intention of stopping it.
It was the last meal.
I guess it’s okay to just enjoy it as much as you can.
– What… … Why is it not decreasing? Even though I have eaten so much, why is it not decreasing at all?
The guy who had been eating the source for a while shouted in a panicked voice.
As he said, the source has not diminished.
In fact, it was growing at a faster rate than it was eating.
Due to the pressure felt from all directions, the size of the Swallow has decreased significantly.
“Swallow, a predator that can eat even concepts.”
I slowly approached him.
“But no matter how much you are, eating up the world is not easy.”
I had different energy in both hands.
In your right hand, the source of existence.
In my left hand, I hold the source of magical energy borrowed from Yuri.
The surroundings began to tremble due to the waves of power created by the two energies.
– Ugh! Wow!
The closer the Swallow got to me, the more it screamed in pain.
I stopped right in front of him.
Swallow has now completely changed into human form.
His shadow, which was devouring the world with its majestic appearance, was only writhing under the pressure of the source I was emitting.
“You ate a lot, so you won’t have any regrets, right? Now… … .”
Swallow raised his head with difficulty in response to my question.
The eyes of someone who was faced with a force beyond his control looked at me.
I looked straight into those eyes and said.
“Get out of my world.”
Light exploded from the energy in both hands.
* * *
The pure white light disappeared.
Yuri slowly opened his closed eyes.
The scene became chaos.
The ruins left behind by the Swallow were still there.
However, there was no sign of Swallow, the main culprit of this incident, anywhere.
Yuri slowly turned his head and looked at Nine standing alone.
Nine stood there as if nothing had happened even after getting rid of a monarch who had been toying with the world for a long time.
Is he really the person he knew until now?
“Nine.”
Yuri cautiously called his name.
I wanted to sing like usual, but my voice trembled due to an unknown anxiety.
Because the atmosphere was so different, I wondered if it was someone I knew.
“… … .”
Nine slowly turned around at his call.
Finally, Nine completely turned around.
“ah.”
Yuri realized that his worries were simply illusions.
Sharp impression.
Yet, the small smile on her lips was the same as the Nine she knew.
“What happened?”
A relieved Yuri approached Nine and asked.
There were many things I wanted to ask.
How was it possible to escape from Balkan?
How was it possible to defeat Swallow so easily?
“I’ll tell you about that later. “Because there are many people who need to listen besides you.”
After saying that, Nine put his hand on his shoulder and walked away.
Yuri narrowed her eyes at the warmth remaining on her shoulder.
It’s clear that it’s me.
It was different somewhere.
I feel like I’ve become more mature… … .
“Oh, before that, let me ask you a favor.”
Nine, who was walking, suddenly stopped.
He pointed to the ruined manor.
“Can you please restore it?”
“… … what?”
It was absurd.
After all the hard work we did to help them, they even asked us to restore the village.
As Yuri narrowed his eyes and glared, Nine smiled awkwardly and said.
“What if it’s hard? “I’ll ask the dragons.”
* * *
The battle with Swallow was very damaging.
All areas of the Istar domain were destroyed except the lord castle and forest.
There were many people who died or went missing in the process.
Since his disappearance was actually eaten by Swallow, he had to be considered dead.
The good news is that dragons are here.
At my request, they set out to restore the destroyed territory.
Even if we can’t return the lost family, shouldn’t we at least return their home?
After leaving everything about the village to the dragon, I headed straight to the forest.
There were people brought by Yuri in the forest.
Vicente and Eve.
Kreia and Yuri, etc.
Everyone related to the source was gathered and waiting for me.
“What about Ruin?”
The first thing I did was ask Elina about Ruin’s condition.
The curse of loss awakened the power of Istar in his veins, and he was in a very dangerous state.
This is because the power of the source was not a power allowed to humans in the first place.
“Luckily it’s not that bad. “I may need treatment for a bit longer.”
Elina, who said that, also informed Ferdin’s condition.
Ferdin lost an arm in the Battle of Swallow, but thanks to Vicente’s healing, he had no problems.
Thanks to the power of the source of life, even the severed arm became fine.
“Thank goodness.”
I said hello to Elina and walked away.
Now I had to talk to the most important people.
“Everyone pay attention.”
Everyone’s attention was focused on my words.
I looked at each of them and said.
A fact that no one except Kreia knows.
I explained my findings to them in detail.
The longer I spoke, the more the listeners’ expressions became hard.
It was worth it.
For them, what they are hearing now may be different from what they knew before.
“therefore… … “Are you saying I am you?”
When all stories are over.
Yuri asked with a dumb expression.
I let out a ridiculous laugh.
“What did you hear me say?”
“no. “That’s what I’ve said so far.”
“I said that the origins were separate from one being, but I did not say that you were me.”
“That’s it.”
okay.
It doesn’t matter how you understand it.
The important thing is from now on.
“Kreia.”
I stopped paying attention to Yuri and turned my attention to Kreia.
Purple eyes blink slightly.
He seemed to know what I was going to say.
After receiving her gaze, I turned to the others and said.
“Barkan would have already absorbed the two sources. “Maybe three.”
The guy’s memories obtained while absorbing Balkan’s alter ego.
He had unstable deaths, including his own.
In addition, since it failed to absorb me, it will also absorb the source of the captured time.
Therefore, it was more correct to believe that it absorbed three sources.
“Three sources… … .”
Vicente said in a hollow voice.
That wasn’t all.
Most of the people here had the same eyes.
“That’s what I’m saying.”
Balkan already possesses three sources.
There was only one way to defeat him.
I told my companions how to do it.
“Give me your origins.”
