I Made a Game Featuring Constellations - Chapter 68



The Way Back to the Prison

The dark elf boy, Gaizerus, who seemed to have absorbed the charging monster and regained his memories.

The world around him and Legatia began to change rapidly.

From the scene where he knocked down and subdued the dark elves of the underground city, bringing them under his command.

To the scene where they broke through the blockade at the entrance and ascended to the surface.

When a clash with the surface elf army was about to occur, Saphira used her status to prevent the conflict.

With the precious time gained, Russ and Saphira persuaded the elves together.

Countless memories flashed by like a revolving lantern.

“I was reckless back then.”

The boy recalled with a wistful expression.

“If Saphira hadn’t been with me, and if there hadn’t been a rift among the high elves caused by Axila’s oppressive tyranny, we would have been in great danger.”

“Dark elf…”

In the illusion of memories, the boy gradually led more and more elves.

They couldn’t stop, even for the sake of avenging their mothers who were killed by Axila.

They garnered more and more support from the elves and eventually succeeded in rising to a level equal to Axila and his forces.

“From the beginning, elves were one. Whether high elves or dark elves, they are just different elves with their own strengths. The two elves developed by helping each other.”

Legatia recalled the current ruling system of the elves.

A system of harmony consisting of one dark elf and one high elf.

“In the distant past, the elves were divided due to disputes and conflicts over interests among the races, but our foundation was mutual cooperation.”

Leadership that leads the kin together with Saphira, not ruling alone.

More elves gathered around that ideal image.

Finally, as the balance tipped, even Axila’s subordinates turned their backs on her, accelerating her downfall.

“It was never an easy task, but we did it. We erased deep-rooted discrimination and united all the elves.”

Gaius in the memory growing from a boy to a young man, and him in reality.

When the time came, the boy and the girl led their followers and marched towards Axila.

It would have been better if they had more time, but they had to stop Axila, who had begun to massacre those who opposed her to prevent her downfall.

“We had to stop her. For our cause, and for the well-being of the elves.”

He looked up at the sky.

Where his gaze reached, two moons were meeting as one.

“The day when the two moons overlap happens only six times a year.”

The two moons passing through the celestial sphere of the continent of Leifania meet once every two months.

“The fifth day of those became our day of decisive battle.”

Now, the boy and the girl, who had become adult elves, touched their foreheads together late at night.

Their determined figures passed by, and the forces of both sides clashed.

The elves who were with them blocked Axila’s subordinates.

The two managed to break through the stern guards and reach Axila’s room.

The root of all evil and the enemy of their mother.

The fiercest enemy, the fight with Axila was intense.

Saphira and Gaizerus were both geniuses of historical renown, but Aksila was no different.

From noble mtl dot com

[But! Barely! To that extent!]

Even with the combined strength of the two elves, they could not withstand Aksila’s overwhelming force.

[Die, inferior species!]

[No, Rus!]

Thud!

The situation changed as Gaizerus blocked Aksila’s attack aimed at Saphira with his body.

[This power is…]

Through the trigger of sacrificing himself for an elf of another race, the power of the primordial elf awakened.

[That’s impossible!]

[Saphira.]

[Yes, Rus!]

When the boy and girl held hands, an immense power incomparable to before swirled around them.

[It can’t be! Inferior species can’t possibly wield such power!]

The power unleashed by the union of different elves.

That power succeeded in toppling the impregnable fortress of the half-blood elf who sought to become a superior species.

The beautiful light shining down from the overlapping moons seemed to show the hopeful unity of the races that followed.

A unity so beautiful that it warmed the heart of Legatia, who had been watching their journey through mere illusions.

“At that time, I thought everything was over.”

But his memory did not end there.

“Why did Axilla pursue such an impossible ideal, even at the cost of so much?”

Her attitude of treating all existing elves as inferior species, using them as a stepping stone to advance to a higher species.

It was strange that she, who had been accepted as a comrade by the members of the Balaclava organization, suddenly changed so drastically.

“Did she really carry out all those tyrannical acts, losing the people’s support, of her own volition?”

The things she did to rise to that position were all possible due to meticulously crafted plans, but the actions she took towards the end of her reign were too irrational to believe they were done by the same elf.

Legatia also had doubts.

As far as she knew, the constellation of [Theft] died on the day Saphira and Axilla were defeated.

So she thought that Saphira had reformed the elf political system alone and deified the achievements of the deceased Gaizerus…

But now, in this memory, hadn’t he defeated Axilla without any issues?

“…No way.”

[Now you are the pinnacle of the elves!]

[Kill that annoying white thing!]

[Then you can become the king of the elves!]

When Axilla fell, a strange voice echoed in Gaizerus’s mind.

[…No.]

[No? What do you mean no! Tear and kill!]

[I will never…!]

Only then did the boy realize.

The Shadow Elves were not just legendary beings passed down through stories, but actual demons that had existed in the past.

The culprits that caused the elves to split and fight each other.

The evil that must be eradicated from this world.

The boy barely suppressed the escalating impulse with superhuman patience.

The rapidly spreading will of the demon began to take control of his body.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before the evil spirit completely took over his body.

If that happened, it was clear that the evil spirit would control his body like Aksila and harm other elves.

Even Saphira would not be able to escape the demon’s threat.

“At that moment, I had to make a decision. The fortunate thing was that it took time for the evil spirit to switch bodies, and if there were no dark elves around when the host died, it couldn’t escape.”

[Rus! We did it!]

Saphira ran towards the boy with a bright face, but the boy pushed her away with a stern expression.

[…Rus?]

[I’m sorry, Saphira.]

“My final mission. It is to erase the last seed of discord.”

[Rus, what are you…]

The boy struck the back of the girl’s neck, knocking her unconscious.

His body, which soared into the sky, was engulfed in flames.

“To seal myself and trap the demon within.”

In the single beam of light cast by the lone moon, the boy’s body burned alone.

Crack!

As the memory ended, the world of the story in the surrounding memory shattered like a glass cup.

Regatia found herself back between the boy and the archive bookshelves from earlier.

“So, you are…”

Only then did Legatia understand how things were unfolding.

This was an isolated space in the Archive.

The boy had sealed himself here, in Sector 21-5, continuing an eternal battle with demons and shadow elves.

Losing and regaining his memories repeatedly.

– – – — – – -!!!

From afar, a monster roared and began to charge towards them.

‘That’s the shadow elf.’

What the boy absorbed in the story was memories.

He was trapped in this prison of eternal struggle, repeatedly losing and regaining his memories because of the monster.

During that time, the monster tried to soothe, cajole, and threaten him in a desperate attempt to escape, but the boy forcibly erased his memories to resist the temptation and kept himself bound here.

‘He sacrificed himself to seal the demon that divided and would divide the elves.’

Not just losing his life, but in an endless cycle of death and pain.

Legatia couldn’t fathom the boy’s noble sacrifice.

“I’m sorry. You probably got swept in here.”

Gaizerus took a book from the shelf.

“I’ll send you back.”

“What? Wait a minute! Weren’t you explaining this to ask me to fight together?”

I was just getting ready to kill that demon!

Isn’t it boss fight time?

As he opened the book, the light that emanated from it engulfed her.

“Wait a moment!!!”

Flash

Her vision turned white with light.

When Legatia opened her eyes again, empty bookshelves stood tall before her.

21-5

The bookshelf she had been with the dark elf boy just moments ago, but unlike when it was filled with books, not a single book remained.

Legatia hurriedly ran to the adjacent bookshelf.

21-6

22-1

22-2

22-3

But no matter how far she went, the 21-5 bookshelf she had been with him did not repeat.

It felt like she had just woken from a dream.

She forgot that she was broadcasting, her mind went blank.

Was it a hallucination?

What on earth was I doing just a moment ago…?

Flap

At that moment, a note that had been stuffed in her pocket fluttered out.

As she discovered the crumpled paper, her mind snapped back to reality.

“No. It’s not a dream.”

Legatia snatched the paper.

He is fighting inside.

Sacrificing himself to trap that demon inside.

How could she leave him in there?

“In that case.”

She unfolded the note.

Earlier, she had skimmed through it, but now she needed any clue she could find.

A clue to re-enter that world.

“Found it.”

As she meticulously examined the note, she discovered a sentence and started running towards somewhere.
