How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 73



Only Noblemtl

Episode 73. Lina and Lisa (1).

The race of rest, dark elves.

The only dark elves who survived in this world until now were Laina and Raisa.

Of course, it wasn’t just the two of them from the beginning.

As more and more people began to call the Dark Elves the Race of Death or the Race that Brings Death, rather than the Race of Rest, the Dark Elves began to be increasingly ostracized by other races.

Death, not rest. And the race that feared the Dark Elves, who were nothing less than symbols of death, the most was the shortest-lived and most numerous race, humans.

“Kill the Dark Elves!!! If we kill those who bring death, we will not die!!!”

Their fear of death grew into a twisted, blind belief that they could escape death by killing the dark elves.

Not long after, the one-sided slaughter of humans began, and the number of dark elves began to decline rapidly.

The reason why dark elves, who had a longer lifespan than humans and were born with a talent for black magic, were massacred by humans… no, the reason they were massacred was very simple.

Because they are a race of rest that no one knows about now. The power that the god of death gave them was for rest, not for killing anyone.

“Mother, are we going to live here now?”

“Really? Mom, is what you said true?”

“That’s right. These cuties!”

The number of dark elves remaining was barely in the double digits. Even those who were scattered were those with children and those who were tired of being chased and running away, so they built a village in the forest where humans had not set foot, and this was the village of rest, ‘Shabbat’.

Lina and Lisa. Their parents belonged to the former.

The longer a race lives, the less fertile they are, and even among dark elves with an average lifespan of over a thousand years, most do not have children. That is why the only dark elves in Shabat Village who did not reach adulthood were Laina and Raisa.

The number of dark elves in Shabat Village was less than 20, and they had set up various traps, including dark magic and inner mirrors, in the forest around the village to prepare for human invasion.

“Is it right to maintain the magic?”

“It’s right to keep it. Haven’t you seen any humans coming into the forest lately?”

Sometimes, people of other races would lose their lives after taking the wrong path by chance. The dark elves of Shabat Village, who felt sorry for their deaths and continued to worry about whether to cancel their magic, ultimately decided not to cancel their black magic.

Even if it was a place where no human footsteps had set foot, humans were the most numerous species. That was because it would not be strange to set foot here at any time.

Although I made sure they didn’t actually set foot here with the intention of killing themselves. The frequency was increasing. It couldn’t hurt to be careful.

However, they could not ignore the fate given to them, and so they guided the wandering souls in the forest to rest.

“Raina, Lisa. You must never, ever go outside the forest. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Mother.”

“If you don’t go out, I won’t go out either!”

At first, the twins thought their parents were simply keeping them from going out of the forest because they were young and not yet adults.

Perhaps it was because they had experienced being chased by humans since childhood. The twins, who had never wanted to leave the peaceful village, began to feel something strange after the two dark elves became adults.

“Our beautiful daughters! Daddy and Mommy have to go out for ‘rest’ with the other elves, so you can’t cry even if you miss them.”

“Father, you too…! Lisa and I are both adults now. Don’t worry and go.”

“Can’t we go with you? We want to help our father and mother too….”

In order to guide the souls wandering the forest, unable to find rest, to rest, Lina and Raisa came out to see their parents off before they headed out.

Her older sister, Laina, saw her off as usual, but her younger sister, Raisa, wanted to go out that day.

“Lisa, I always say this….”

“It’s dangerous outside the village, you know? I know that. But… My sister and I are adults now. We want to help you too.”

“…Does Lina want to go out too?”

A sad expression flashed across her mother’s face as she asked about her feelings at Raisa’s stubborn words. Raisa, who saw that expression, neither confirmed nor denied it.

But silence was answer enough, and Mother asked if they could wait for them in the village this time, as she had something to tell them when she returned from this rest.

Lina and Lisa agreed, and the next day, when their parents returned from guiding their souls to rest, they called the twins over and sat them down.

“Raina. Raisa. You know that the God of Death has disappeared, right?”

From those words, a somewhat shocking story began for the twins.

After the god of death disappeared.

The Dark Elves feared that their descendants would be born without the powers bestowed upon them by the God of Death.

If the children born after this do not have the ability to rest, it will be certain that the God of Death has truly departed.

“But we so desperately wanted a child who resembled each other, and our daughters came to us.”

Fortunately, the twins born from their parents’ love were beautiful and born with the ability to rest. However, that ability was imperfect.

To lead the soul to rest, three powers were needed.

Recognize, confirm and communicate.

The power to perceive, see, and bring rest to lost souls who are unable to find rest.

“Have our daughters ever been aware of a soul?”

Lina and Lisa were unable to answer that question.

?The number of lost souls in the forest has increased.?

?There were three of us until yesterday… . We should get ready to go out soon.?

The twins remembered how the village adults were always quick to notice lost souls, which they themselves had never noticed.

“However… Laina can see spirits, and Laina can bring peace to spirits. If it were true, our daughters would have been able to bring peace to spirits as well.”

If it were original.

“Just as each elf has a different appearance and personality, each of us has different innate abilities. The God of Death has made another arrangement to make up for our lack of strength.”

Another arrangement from the God of Death.

That was the tree of rest.

The branches of the Tree of Rest made it easier to recognize the souls just by holding them, the light of rest from the flowers allowed them to see clearly, and the sound calmed their unstable minds, making it easier to convey rest.

However, the Dark Elves’ resting place, where the Tree of Rest was located, was destroyed by humans, and the Dark Elves were forced to flee the massacre without even being able to protect the seeds.

“Is there any tree of rest left… or at least no seeds?”

“It might still be there somewhere… but it’s not here.”

The answer, which was filled with regret but also came out firmly, filled Lina and Lisa’s eyes with tears.

When they became adults, they thought they too could help their parents and share the fate of dark elves. They had no doubt that they would be able to help the dark elves of this village who cared for them and always welcomed them warmly.

It’s just not the time yet.

They thought that the affectionate adults were only worried about their young selves. Someday… someday, they too would surely be able to lead their souls to peace.

After learning the truth, the twins locked themselves in the house. The dark elves were puzzled when they didn’t see the twins who always wandered around the village, and soon they found out why the twins didn’t come out.

“It’s a shame that the children give up already!”

“Yes! The Tree of Rest was not only planted in our tribe’s resting place, but also in other places, so it is too early to give up!”

“Learn how to lead to rest.”

The adults began to teach the twins to rest with one mind and one heart, and although Laina and Lisa stayed with the adults, they were gradually able to leave the village and wander around the forest.

Just like my parents told me.

Laina could see spirits, and Laina could communicate with spirits. Perhaps because she was born with only one of the three abilities, the two dark elves’ abilities were superior to those of any other dark elf.

“I heard there is a tree of rest. Let’s go and see.”

The adults, who felt sorry for the twins’ talent to help each other and lead more souls to rest than anyone else, if only they could recognize the souls, often took risks and went to places where there might be trees of rest.

Meanwhile, Laina and Lysa’s parents, who had heard from the dark elf who had gone out and returned that the seeds of the tree of rest were being traded, said without a moment’s hesitation that they would go there.

“They say it’s a place where humans do business… It’s too dangerous.”

“That’s right. Do you have to go?… .”

The twins tried to stop their parents because they were worried.

As parents, they knew the twins’ wishes better than anyone else, so the two parents headed out of town.

A day, a week passes… .

A month passed and my parents still didn’t come back.

The twins’ anxiety grew by the day, having heard that it was a bit far from the village of Shabat, but that they would be able to return within three weeks at the longest.

“It looks like it’s taking quite a while to trade.”

“It’s a big deal, so it could take up to a week. The Tree of Rest is considered precious even among humans, so it’s taking a while to arrive.”

The adults who remained in the village briefly calmed their anxiety. It was a month and three days since Lina and Raisa’s parents left the village of Shabbat.

I was suggested that the two of us go into the forest together.

“The two of us…?”

“Why all of a sudden?”

Even after they had theoretically learned to rest perfectly, the twins who had always gone into the forest with at least one adult were puzzled by the sudden invitation.

“You two need to work together to observe the souls, you know. You two have been feeling a bit down lately, huh?”

“Instead, you should not go astray, but return by the same path you always took.”

I was puzzled by the adults’ appearance, which seemed a little more urgent than usual, but perhaps it was because it had been quite some time since they had gone out for a rest after their parents had left the village.

The twins were excited to be able to go out for the first time in a long time, and to be able to go out alone together, so they readily accepted the adults’ invitation.

“Raina, Raisa.”

The twins turned around at the call of the adults who came out to see them off as they headed out.

“Do you remember the words of the God of Death?”

“It’s a very easy task to find out where the new souls are wandering and what race they are, so be careful!”

The will left behind by the god of death.

Since the god of death had disappeared, the newly born twins still had some abilities, even if they were unstable, so adults often said that the twins were nothing but a source of support.

What we are doing is not wrong.

This is proof that the god of death is still with us.

The twins laughed playfully, saying that the adults were acting more unusual today than usual, and headed out of the village into the forest.
