＜Chapter 98＞

ruins cave.

It is an unfriendly space as a lodging or resting place, but when you think of it as a place for training, the words are different.

It is a place where almost all distractions such as noise and light that disturb the magician’s image are blocked.

The smell of damp moss was a bit annoying, but other than that, it was a near-perfect training space.

So Ruin decided to use the ruins cave more actively.

Ruin stopped by the academy’s shop and bought magic lanterns, soft cushions, a simple desk, snacks, and water.

Returning to the Ruins Cave, he was searching for a suitable space when he heard Gyrobel’s voice.

– No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand.

Ruin, who was installing magic lanterns on the wall of the ruins cave, opened his mouth.

“What else?”

-The mage Schlater who created this place doesn’t seem to be human at all.

“hmm… … .”

In fact, that was the part that Ruin was also suspicious of.

Due to Louise’s work, Ruin inspected the ruins cave more closely.

Surprisingly, this cave was a kind of artifact that worked like a huge barrier.

However, the most important element of the artifact, the nucleus, did not exist.

In order for the barrier to be maintained, the core that supplies mana is indispensable.

It was the same reason that a giant airline needed magic crystals to float in the air.

However, no matter how much I looked into the cave, there was no magic path supplied from the nucleus, that is, a nucleus amplifying circuit.

Even so, this ruins cave had maintained Schlater’s remaining magic and will for over a thousand years.

That would be impossible even for Ruin in his prime.

Mages’ magical powers often have very unique properties, so even if the residual magical power was aside, the remaining will, or thought, was different.

that it left a lasting impression.

If so, it means that the mage Schlater is a transcendent.

However, his stature in history was not to that extent.

That’s a level that overwhelms the fear of darkness called the Great Mage.

It was the level of Sahol, the first Lion King, who treated the descendant body of the demon god Gyrobel like a child.

“Why are you assuming that you are not human? Could it be that he is an introverted mage like Heirodos? A mage who is obsessed with research results without revealing her true abilities to the world.”

-It is too outstanding an achievement to be regarded as a human research achievement. Isn’t that Louise’s growth very abnormal? Even in the Demon Realm, such rapid growth is not possible.

“hmm… … .”

-Is it possible to inject the wisdom and magic accumulated over a lifetime into others as if carving a spell? Why didn’t the Demon Realm, which had been evolving for eons, come up with such a method? If such a method existed, I would not have to worry about a successor right now. You must have already passed on a part of me to your offspring.

Although he was arguing with Gyrobel, this was what Ruin was most curious about.

If it was possible to pass on a magician’s magic in that way, there would be no need for a mage tower or magic society in this world.

-Coming to think of it, this kingdom itself is very unique. As well as the fact that the two ancient dragons, Besquiah and Bisherisma, intervened in the birth of a mere human kingdom… … .

– Founding king So Roo and first lion king Sahol are transcendent people who were born only a few times in human history. In addition, Rencia, who inherits the lineage of the Titans, who are said to be children of the gods? A first mage with such an absurd succession ability? Do you really think this is normal?

“There I am too.”

-… … .

Perhaps the most bizarre incident in this kingdom is the fear of darkness that has inherited the ability of a demon god.

-Even if all of this is a coincidence, the most bizarre thing is that the kingdom, which started out with that level of history, shrank to the point where it was barely trying to survive in the gap between the northern kingdoms. To the point where I can’t quite comprehend it.

“What is the conclusion?”

-Aren’t you already thinking the same thing as me?

A dark aura froze in Ruin’s eyes.

“Do you also see some kind of connection between the future destruction I experienced and the kingdom of Lemadel?”

– It’s a feeling, but it is. I’m sure that evil emperor is now in the kingdom of Lemadel. His plan probably started from this kingdom.

“… … .”

Intervention and disappearance of two ancient dragons.

The birth of two transcendents and their sudden death.

Gyrobel, who was drunk with the Titans.

This time, even the mage Schlater, who left unpredictable magic.

Even if you look at each one, it was an event that can compete for the top of the events that have appeared in the history of mankind.

Until now, Ruin could not be sure of the induction that penetrates these events, but Gyrobel insisted on one of the assumptions.

“So, is that the Rencia family?”

-Isn’t that the only hole in your memory? You remember all the general situation and history of this kingdom, but you know little about Renciaga. It means information that was controlled in your previous life. It is the result of collective intentions intervening.

“Only one family is trying to monopolize power and resources more than necessary. It is siphoning all the excellent powers of this kingdom.”

– Not that much. What if the power of this kingdom was deliberately stimulated? What if everything was burned and only ashes were left?

“… … .”

-it serves him right. Aren’t you already sure in your heart?

Ruin’s eyes were burning with anger.

own past life.

What if someone’s intention was to complete the demon’s black magic?

What if Louise’s power, which even the evil emperor’s corps commanders were afraid of, was the result of being arranged in advance?

What if the powers of the agent of wind and the swordsman and saint were all directed by someone’s intention?

It meant that the ‘Human Union’, the gathering of all human capabilities scattered around the world, was the wrong way from the beginning.

perfect for cooking.

A gathering born of someone’s intention to strike a blow.

Thinking that all of the miserable lives of his colleagues might have been the intention of the evil emperor, his emotions were crushed to the extent that he could not control his mind.

It is possible that his intention to more fully build the capacity of human union is an act of playing into the hands of the evil one again.

-Your plan to rally your colleagues again is inevitable. I will never be able to deal with that evil emperor in the same way as in my previous life.

anger for a while.

The deepest and coldest feeling of his entire life so far wrapped up in Ruin’s brain.

The consciousness was deep like a lake.

‘… … .’

A question that has plagued him in his past life and until now.

Why is he trying to destroy the world?

He didn’t have the feelings of dignity that a human being should have.

If a human being pursues something, there must be a clear intention and purpose, but that thing did not exist for him.

No purpose, just blind malice.

Ruin persistently pursued the vague intentions of such evil.

The number of all cases that can be extended is drawn with the intuition of a great mage.

at that time.

“The immediate family of the Rencia family is the Titans… … .”

Ruin, who infinitely pursued the justification of malice toward humans, finally came up with an assumption.

Descendants of the Titans.

where their hatred is directed.

-Theamaras… … ?

A person who freed the Titans, descendants of God, from the world.

The history of that cruel extinction had enough justification.

– That makes sense.

“As you said, if the seeds of evil are growing in this Lemadel Kingdom, it must be Renciaga.”

-Hmm… … .

Contrary to Ruin, Gyrobel was seldom convinced.

they are a tribe of gods.

They were high-ranking beings with the ability to overwhelm humans with their own strength.

If Renciaga succeeded the Titans, there was no need to covet human power and capabilities.

However, Gyrobel was sure of one thing.

The mysterious things happening in the Lemadel Kingdom were obviously related to them.

“… … How strong are the adult titans?”

Ruin had never experienced the Titans. Therefore, to determine the direction of the plan, it was necessary to know their capabilities in detail.

– I can’t say it simply.

“Why?”

– Even among you humans, there are absolutes like you, but aren’t there also weak people who can’t catch a deer with their own hands?

Ruin, who was silently nodding his head, changed the question.

“What are the characteristics of the Titans that are distinctly different from humans?”

Gyrobel was silent for a long time.

– Emotions and ways of thinking.

“Specifically.”

-They have little emotion. By human standards, it would feel like an inanimate object.

“It is inanimate… … .”

-Also, they deny ‘existence’. No, it would be accurate to say that they consider themselves to be the only gods.

Luin couldn’t understand.

The descendants of the gods deny the Creator.

– What do other races look like in their eyes? To put it bluntly, it is nature such as animals and plants, rocks, and water. They think it’s part of their enjoyment. At one time, they even made humans their staple food.

“He ate people… … ?”

Occasionally, monsters that attacked humans could eat cannibals.

However, using it as a stock is a problem of a completely different dimension.

It was unimaginable that a civilization with the same intellect as the Titans had treated humans, the same intellect, as crops.

Above all, if such a tremendous event had occurred, it should remain as history, but as far as he knew, such a history did not exist.

-That’s why I said it was strange. The human world they see is as insignificant as an anthill. Would you be covetous of ant food?

All circumstances were pointing towards Rencia, but their due was once again fading.

There must be something that you haven’t figured out yet.

-They were the ones who assassinated the transcendents and killed the two old dragons. If you want to use the capability of armed force as a standard, isn’t there already a clear reference point?

A yard that surpasses the level of one’s previous life with just one sahole.

In the yard that didn’t even have the ability to deal with superhuman yet, if that was really the power Renciaga was hiding, it was too far away.

-Your friends are coming.

Bubbly.

Ruin’s thoughts came to an end when he heard footsteps in the distance.

A long line of cadets entering the cave was visible in a blur.

Shiron arrived and smiled broadly at the magic lamp installed on the wall.

“Oh oh! Magic lantern!”

“and! It’s a desk!”

The cadets, who were checking the items Ruin bought, carefully approach Ruin one by one.

“Yeah… … Are you Luin? I have a request… … .”

Severon’s forehead wrinkled at Daphne’s unusual snoring.

“Could that be cuteness right now?”

“Uh huh, shh.”

Severon raised his voice as if he couldn’t lose.

“Ruin! Lend me some money!”

＜Please lend me money too.＞

After hearing all about the reality of Airline Academy from the cadets, Ruin indifferently opened his mouth.

“good night. I’ll give you all the money you need.”

“Wow! really?”

“Cheuk! Also Ruin! There is only you!”

sh*t.

“Instead, there is one condition.”

“yes? what?”

“condition?”

Looking at the cadets’ uneasy eyes, Ruin said.

“Report regularly to me about the activities of the Yi Myung cadets sponsored by Rencia. Everything down to the smallest detail.”

for a moment.

It’s like actually commissioning a private detective job.

“Uh, that… … It’s a job, right?”

“Then it doesn’t seem to be that different from going out of the academy… … .”

An expressionless lune.

“I am not saying that you should take time out of training to gather information. It’s just the kind of information you can come across while doing activities as usual, such as cafeterias, dorms, and classes.”

Come to think of it, that wasn’t too much of a problem.

Naturally, all the cadets nodded happily.

“good! If that’s the case, no problem!”

“me too!”

When Ruin summoned Hellagea and handed out the money.

“It’s been quite a while. These ruins.”

Where the old voice came from.

The dean of Hedeian was stroking his long beard and smiling.
