Episode 724: The wings of freedom flap (2)

“How have you been?”

Although they said so, in reality, there was no way they would have gotten along well.

One way or another, she had to live with her son gone.

“I had a good time.”

However, my mother was not an ordinary person either.

Ludger nodded slightly as she spoke casually with an expressionless face.

“Then it seems you have been doing it wrong.”

“… … Why do you think that?”

“Because I can see your arms. “I can tell that you really went through a lot of trouble to get here.”

“If it had been before, I wouldn’t have listened to you. “They probably ignored it, saying it was irrational, unscientific, and too abstract.”

Ludger calmly conveyed his thoughts to his mother.

“But now I know. Everything you said to me was really sincere advice. Same thing this time too. “You knew I was coming and you were waiting for me like this.”

“So, what did you come all the way here to say? You are no longer from here. “This means that he has absolutely nothing to do with me.”

Ludger took a moment to catch his breath and then bowed his head towards his mother.

“I’m sorry.”

“… … .”

“These four months happened because I disobeyed my mother and ignored the warnings she had given me several times. It’s not a pity that I died. But I know that as I leave, it is difficult to describe the longing and sadness I gave to those I left behind.”

The corners of the woman’s eyes fluttered.

Although she was trying to pretend to be strong and calm, the sadness of a mother who lost her child that day still remained in a corner of her heart.

Even though I knew that the child came back in a different form, the wounds left in the past did not heal easily.

“I came all the way here to tell you this.”

The reason why Ludger collected relics.

The reason why he broke the cage, defeated Lumensis, and gave people freedom.

It was not a desire to save them, a punishment for Lumensis, or a sense of justice to put this world back on track.

only.

The son who made his mother sad.

To convey that indescribable guilt.

That was all.

The origin of a major incident that shook the entire continent was a very selfish and personal goal.

Therefore, the moment Surna heard Ludger’s true purpose, she had no choice but to understand him.

Just as Ludger understood him.

“I was truly sorry.”

And now.

Ludger clearly conveyed his honest feelings to his mother.

To release all the tension that has accumulated over the years.

The foolish son who hid his true feelings and always made sharp remarks.

Finally, I was able to regret my mistakes and reveal my true heart.

Until then.

It took nearly 28 years.

“… … .”

Despite Ludger’s apology, she said nothing.

I had no idea how difficult my son had been through.

She could keenly feel the suffering he had been through.

That’s why I couldn’t speak out loud.

What Ludger was carrying was not so light that only a few words could comfort him.

Still, as a mother.

I wanted to say this one thing.

“It was a lot of hard work.”

“… … .”

one word.

Just that one word, surprisingly, relieved Ludger of the inner pain that had built up over the past decades.

Although it may not be everything, Ludger was saved just by the fact that the path he walked was not wrong.

“So, are you fully back now?”

“Not yet. This one was just for experimentation, so I have to go back. However, now that the road has been paved, next time we will be able to return faster than before.”

“I see.”

“Do not worry. “I won’t make you wait long.”

Ludger bowed his head and stood up.

“Who is the child outside?”

As expected from a brave fortune teller, the mother immediately recognized the presence of Rine waiting outside.

“He’s one of the students I teach. “He has exceptional talent and ability.”

“I thought my son, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, brought his daughter-in-law.”

It was a blunt tone like Ludger’s, but it was clearly a joke.

It was her own mature response to lighten the mood so as not to regret breaking up.

“Next time you come, you won’t be alone. There are people I would like to introduce separately. “If you ever meet me, you’ll probably find it quite interesting.”

Ludger opened the paper door and came out.

“Okay then, let’s go.”

“okay. “I’ll see you later.”

I didn’t say goodbye. Because if I say that, we will be separated forever again.

Ludger knew that too, so he nodded his head when asked to see him again.

When I came outside, Line, who had been waiting impatiently with her back against the wall, hurriedly followed me.

“Dae, what happened?”

“Let’s take a walk first.”

Liné, unaware of this situation, had no choice but to follow Ludger around.

Suddenly visiting a country with a culture and style she had never imagined was mentally exhausting for her.

Ludger and Line went to a quiet park where no one came and sat on a bench.

Even the children don’t have time to go to kindergarten. All I could see in the park were pigeons gathered in groups of twos and threes pecking the ground.

“As you may have noticed, this is where I used to live. “It’s a story before Heathcliff van Bretus was born.”

“Past life, is it the same?”

“okay. I died in an accident while living here, and was reborn as Heathcliff. Because of my constitution that was loved by the gods, my memories of the past were kept intact. “It was close to a curse, but thanks to it, I survived, so it’s really strange.”

Food duck.

The pigeons flapped their wings and took off in unison.

“When I fell into a well as a child, I accidentally discovered a fragment of a relic. “When I think about it now, I don’t know if it was a coincidence or fate, but it was definitely a turning point that would change my life.”

Beyond the bluish space the size of a hand mirror.

What unfolded there was the landscape of the 21st century Korea that he remembered.

Young Ludger could not take his eyes off the scene.

one’s hometown. He is a product of the past he remembered.

It unfolded before my eyes.

It’s at a distance that makes you feel like you can reach it just by stretching out your hand.

“Bah, but more than 20 years have passed since then, so how…?” … .”

“What surprised me when I first saw that scene was that at least seven years had passed since I died and the world had not changed at all.”

“Are you saying the flow of time was different?”

“okay. 10 years where we lived was 1 year here. In other words, in this world, not even three years have passed since I died in my previous life.”

“That can’t be possible.”

“It’s a different dimension, so the flow of time may be different. However, this time, a passage has been created between the two worlds, albeit a weak one, thanks to me, so the time axes that were off will be aligned. “It won’t take that long for the two worlds to become the same.”

Line couldn’t say anything.

Considering what Ludger had done, his actual goals were absurdly simple.

“Isn’t it funny? “The goal of the Demon King who caused an uproar across the continent is to meet his mother.”

“no. “It’s not funny at all.”

Line shook her head resolutely.

“You’re going to see your family, right? “If I were in the same situation as my brother, I would definitely have made the same choice.”

“… … is it.”

Ludger stood up from the bench with a grin and stretched out his hand into the air.

“Now it’s time to go back.”

“Already?”

“I would like to see a little more of this world, but unfortunately the passage won’t last that long. The crystal corridor doesn’t last long. “If we don’t go back like this, the corridor will collapse and we will be lost forever.”

“If the coordinates of the original world that anchor us disappear, we will be trapped in an imaginary space that is neither here nor there.”

“If you teach one thing, you teach two. right. Imaginary space is an unknown world that cannot be grasped with human knowledge. “You and I, the two of us who control the power of space, were able to pass through that place. No one else would have even dared to try.”

Jiyiing.

The space reacted to Ludger’s magic and split, creating a blue gate in the air.

“Let’s go back.”

To where we live.

Ludger and Line walked through the crystal corridor created in imaginary space again.

As I walked, the walls of the Crystal Corridor reflected the person’s past as I walked.

That’s why this Crystal Corridor engraved the person’s life story on the wall in the exact order of time.

Line looked at herself.

My childhood self. The innocent days he spent with his mother.

Meet Heathcliff, meet Freuden, meet your uncle.

After living like that, he eventually lost his memory and learned magic under his disguised uncle, thinking he was his teacher.

I entered Seorn, which I had been looking forward to, and there I met a person named Ludger Chelisi for the first time.

A lot has happened since then.

At the end, the two walked down the crystal hallway in silence.

“There is.”

“Something.”

“If things go on like this, what will happen to us?”

“well. Even though the holy war is over, I will forever be remembered in the world as the Demon King. “Maybe he will be referred to an international court as a war criminal.”

“Well, is that so?”

“Rine. “What do you want to do?”

“I am… … I don’t know In the past, I would have still said I wanted to become a magic researcher, but now I am so different.”

Liné smoothed the corners of her eyes with her white, delicate hands.

“Judgment vision and spatial attribute magic power. To me, it’s both hateful and too much power. “Perhaps my number one goal should be to learn how to use this power.”

“If you know the way you should go, that is enough. What remains is the persistence to move forward without giving up. “I think you can do well.”

“lol. is that so?”

It was that moment when Line laughed heartily.

Rumbling.

The crystal corridor vibrated greatly, and broken crystal pieces fell from the ceiling.

Rine, who managed to maintain her balance and avoid falling, hurriedly looked around.

“Hey, what’s going on? Do earthquakes occur in imaginary space?!”

“no. This is no ordinary earthquake. “Look at that.”

Ludger pointed beyond the ceiling.

In the imaginary space revealed beyond the shattered crystal shards, a huge giant was glaring at me as if he were going to kill me.

“Lumensis!”

Lumensis, who was slowly dying with a hole in his heart, struck the crystal corridor with his huge arm.

“What a terrible guy. Is he trying to take us as companions while he is dying? “For a guy named God, his actions are truly disgusting.”

“Ji, now is not the time for this!”

“yes.”

Line and Ludger ran.

Lumensis, who saw this, roared in anger.

It was a silent shout. The entire imaginary space rang loudly.

Although he is said to be on the way to death, he is still the god of a world.

Just by his shouting filled with hatred, the entire space trembled and the collapse of the crystal corridor accelerated.

Crumbling.

Clink!

The crystal corridor shook, the walls cracked, the ceiling collapsed, and large pieces of debris fell.

Ludger and Linne had to keep running through the shaking corridor without falling.

“I can see the end over there!”

Woooooo!!

Lumensis raised his left arm and struck the crystal corridor with all his might.

Kwazijic!

Part of the crystal corridor collapsed and disappeared beyond imaginary space.

Lumensis’ left arm also could not withstand the force and turned into powder and scattered.

Due to overexertion with a punctured heart, Lumensis’ death also accelerated.

But Lumensis was persistent.

He raised his remaining right arm as if he would at least take Ludger, who had turned him into this situation, with him.

At the end of the broken corridor, Ludger and Rine could only stare at the scene.

That moment.

Sigh!

A large tentacle-like thing protruded from beyond imaginary space and grabbed Lumensis’ right arm.

That wasn’t all. Mechanical arms held his torso, and transparent glass arms held his legs.

“Well, that… … .”

“They are forgotten gods who were imprisoned by Lumensis.”

Ludger immediately realized who the owner of those arms was.

Since they were the ones who always whispered to him, it was impossible for him not to know.

“This is what is called causal justice.”

Sigh!

As the many arms holding Lumensis’ body gave strength, Lumensis’ body was torn apart.

In the past, the owner of these arms would not have even dared to think of opposing Lumensis, but it was different now that Lumensis was weakened.

Even as Lumensis’ body was torn apart and he fell into the same pit as the gods he had betrayed, he glared at Ludger with his beautiful eyes.

“The terrible relationship is over. Get down there.”

Ludger coldly declared to Lumensis.
