Episode 65. Those Who Call for Death (1).
“Lars opened his eyes.
When he finally realized that his eyes were open, he began to wonder. It felt strange, as if he had just woken up from sleep.
‘Did I close my eyes?’
Clearly, he was walking with his companions to the center of the Black Forest for the second trial. The priest said that if he walked east, where the compass pointed, he would reach the place where the death-callers were, so he continued walking east.
As if to indicate that we were getting closer to the center, the surroundings became darker and darker, and we could barely walk by relying on the light created by Chloris’ magic.
Don’t even stop walking.
Don’t keep your eyes closed for too long.
I didn’t even sleep.
The moment Lars realized that fact, he realized that the light created by Cloris was gone, and that his companion who had been walking with him was gone.
“hello.”
Next to the recognition. He heard a familiar voice greeting him. His vision, which had been covered by darkness and had been invisible, opened up, and he was able to face himself, looking at himself, as if he were facing a mirror in front of his nose.
“I am Lars. I am you. You are me. Lars. Lars. That’s our name. I have something to ask you.”
“… … .”
‘Lars’ asked Lars, who was frozen in fear from the depths of his heart at seeing someone with the same appearance and voice as himself from head to toe.
“Was it really right for you to kill the greedy man?”
Become a handful of ashes.
In the original, Lars, who was heading to the center of the Black Forest for the second trial, is struck by an alien magic unleashed by those who bring death.
The true identity of those who call forth death is Dark Elves. They have special eyes that can see souls, and are also excellent warlocks.
Since there were white wizards like Cloris, it wasn’t at all strange to have black wizards.
Rather, it was a natural thing.
Death. And black magic.
These were indeed keywords that were easily rejected by the world.
Even if the other race has disappeared or is no longer visible, the records of their past existence have not disappeared.
But the dark elves were different.
The Dark Elves, once known as the Race of Rest, came to be called the Race of Death, and they and the dark magic they used were tabooed even among wizards, and began to disappear from this world.
“Black magic… It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”
Kael left Tariq floating in the air, having lost consciousness due to the Dark Elf’s magic, just like the three people in the original work. He checked his compass occasionally and walked toward the center, muttering.
This magic belongs to the mental magic.
It was one of the dark elves’ specialties, a magic called ‘Inner Mirror’. As the name suggests, if you are under this magic, you will lose your mind and face your inner self.
?I explained to you that if you have regrets or resentments in life, your soul will not be able to find peace and will wander as a soul without being able to return to God. The inner mirror is a magic that allows you to resolve, accept, and acknowledge the problems that are the source of your regrets or resentments.?
?Huh? What happens if you can’t solve the problem that’s inside you? Well, it’s cruel, but you’ll be locked up forever and never be able to come out.?
Several hundred years ago, when the Dark Elves remained in this world as a race of peace, Kael, who was wandering aimlessly, wanted to see the alien race that appeared in the original work, so he went to see them in person.
The one who wrote the book that I showed to Mabel, Tariq, and Lily at that time. He taught me black magic and helped me meet ‘Rim’, my first and last friend from a different race.
?Wow, human. Why is your soul like that? It’s not a soul that originally belongs to this world, and it’s so messed up that it seems like you’ve been reincarnated as easily as eating.?
Like other dark elves, Rim’s first impression was somewhat rude, as she had dark skin that shimmered slightly and pale blue eyes.
?You have about half a year left until you die.?
Would you mind telling me the day I die without hesitation?
?What world were you in before coming to this world??
?If you don’t want to talk about it, don’t. Your soul looks like it’s been through a lot. I don’t want to bring up your wounds.?
Although I was curious about the world of the previous life, I did not force an answer.
At that time, he had already mentioned his past life several times, and he had vowed never to tell anyone about his past life or the fact that he had been reincarnated. So whenever Rim was curious about his past life, he always chose to remain silent.
?Dark Elves are the ones who lead to rest. We do not speak of hope. That is an unspoken rule among our race, but still… still… . I want to speak of hope that rest will come to you. Farewell, my dear friend.?
But sometimes when I think of him.
Would things have been a little different if I had met him first?
With such belated doubts, I felt a faint regret that he might have been different from the people I had met, but at least I didn’t answer with silence.
“after….”
Kael sighed in the thick darkness where he could not see anything in front of him or his surroundings even though there was light.
If it’s gotten this dark, we must have arrived soon.
The moment I took a step forward with that thought, the curtains in the dark room were drawn back and sunlight poured in, revealing a bright light.
Kael, who had frowned and closed his eyes due to the sudden light, opened his eyes to see a changed scenery…
“Hey! There are new people here!”
“Welcome!!!”
A village of peace with countless people looking at you with smiles all over their faces.
Arrived at ‘Shabbat’.
* * *
Outside the Black Forest.
Mabel looked around at the open space that was refreshingly empty, waiting for Lily to go inside the cottage to get a shovel.
Soon, Lily approached Mabel with a shovel.
“Miss! I brought you a shovel!”
“Yeah! This is where the sun shines the most….”
I’ve been looking for a seat.
Mabel looked back at Lily, pointing to the spot she had been looking at with her finger. Before she could finish what she was going to say, she opened her mouth ‘Uh-‘ when she saw the shovel the girl was holding in her arms. The shovel Lily had brought was not the small shovel Mabel had expected, but a large shovel, also called a field shovel.
“Can I dig here?”
“Ugh…!”
Lily, who saw where Mabel’s little finger was pointing, grabbed the shovel with a firm stance and dug it into the ground with a thud!
The shovel, which had been gently cutting through the seemingly hard ground, soon scooped up a handful of moist soil that had been hidden.
After repeating this a couple of times, it became deep enough to plant seeds.
“Miss. Is this okay?”
“Huh? Oh, yeah! This is enough!”
Lily twiddled her long silver hair with her finger as if embarrassed, as Mabel, who had been blankly watching herself dig the ground, came to her senses and answered.
“I learned from the gardener when I was busy decorating my own garden. I wanted to help you if you ever wanted to plant any plants yourself.”
Mabel, who finally realized why the girl was so good at using the shovel, let out a laugh.
Because it meant that he learned it on purpose for himself.
“Okay then. Should we plant it quickly?”
“good!”
Mabel placed the tree of rest seed that Kael had given her in a hole dug to an appropriate depth, and Lily covered it with soil again.
“Shall we go to the villa?”
She was about to return the shovel she had finished digging to the cottage. When Lily asked, Mabel shook her head at the sight of the soil where the seeds were planted, rising higher than the surrounding area.
“I want to stay out a little longer!”
“Aren’t you feeling hungry?”
Mabel answered the following question, saying that it had been quite some time since she had lunch at the Damie’s house before leaving, and that she was starting to feel hungry, perhaps because she hadn’t eaten the snack she usually had after lunch.
“little!”
“Then, can I bake you some hotcakes?”
“pancake?”
Mabel’s eyes lit up at the word hotcakes.
It was because the image of a warm, fluffy pancake with sweet syrup poured over it naturally came to mind.
“Yeah! Let’s grill it and eat it outside together!”
Lily replied with a soft smile that she would quickly make some pancakes, and as the girl entered the cottage, Mabel squatted down in front of the raised earthen hill.
“Didn’t the book say that only those loved by God can grow this tree?”
So does that mean that the tree of rest grows not from water but from divine power?
The book that Kael gave me said ‘who’ could raise it, but it didn’t give a detailed explanation of ‘how’ to raise it.
I didn’t even know if it was right to bury it in the ground like a normal plant. Mabel squatted down, made a calyx with both palms, rested her chin on it, and let out a deep sigh.
How much time has passed?
Mabel released the calyx, changed her position, and knelt on the ground.
For a moment, Mabel felt concerned about the dress touching the ground. But then she remembered that all of her dresses had a cleansing spell cast by Kael, and with a solemn expression, she looked down at the ground where the seeds were planted and shouted.
“Oh, I don’t know!”
No matter how much she thought about it, the only way she could come up with was to directly infuse divine power into it, so Mabel decided to use divine power on the spot where she had planted the seed. She placed both of her hands on the soil.
“Phew… .”
Ordinary plants would rot if given too much water, and would dry out and not sprout if given too little. Mabel pondered for a moment over how much divine power she should pour into them, then closed her eyes and let out a deep breath, slowly drawing up the divine power within her body.
A soft light began to linger in his small hand, and the light soon flowed into the soil it touched.
At first, it was like tasting it. The divine power that had been slowly being absorbed began to greedily devour the divine power that Mabel was pouring out, like desert sand absorbing water. Mabel, sensing something strange, tried to pull her hand away, but opened her eyes.
“uh…?”
The confused purple eyes shook.
The hand that was placed on the dirt did not lift.
I straightened my knees, put strength into the soles of my feet, and squeezed out all the strength I had to lift my palms.
It was as if my arm was glued to the dirt, but I couldn’t take my hand off the dirt, and it hurt so much that it felt like it was going to fall off.
Meanwhile, sweat began to form on Mabel’s forehead as her divine power continued to be exploited.
Just like the day I lifted Lily’s curse. My body began to reach its limit, my vision became blurry, my legs gave out and I collapsed, and my eyes gradually closed.
“My-!!!”
At that moment, a sharp cat-like cry was heard, and the hand that seemed unbreakable fell. Mabel tried to figure out what was causing the cry, but her body would not listen to her because her divine power was already exhausted, and her eyes closed.
– Slap.
The leaning body fell to the ground, and Mabel closed her eyes for the last time as she watched the black figure approaching her.
