Tale of the Fake Hero - Chapter 283
Only Noblemtl
Season 3: Episode 91
“Open your eyes, Camilla.”
When I opened my eyes, my son-in-law was enveloped in black smoke.
What kind of fog is this?
It was thick and dense, almost like smoke, but there was no strange or stuffy feeling.
‘Rather, this is… … .’
Close to the morning fog, no, warmer, fresher, and more holy than the morning fog… … the mystery of creation.
“Where am I? Who are you?”
Beyond that area of fog, a light stood forming a shadow.
“Your calling, the light you are meant to carry, has not yet reached the mark.”
In what world is there such a warm light? Even the Setsunen of the Brain Fragrance couldn’t convey this much warmth.
“The light I have to carry… …?”
Until then, my mind was hazy, but memories from before I lost consciousness suddenly flowed into my mind.
that’s right…….
I am with Oukan… … .
What is the current situation? No, more than that, where am I? How did I get here? My memory suddenly came back to me.
Obviously… … .
The moment I sensed death, I was sure… … .
Ahh… … .
There was something that sounded like the snapping of fingers, or like the sound of a cane hitting the ground.
At that sound.
The noise of the world was cut off.
The torrent of lava that had been rushing up to my eyes had suddenly stopped.
‘Are you dreaming?’
I closed my eyes tightly in a daze and when I opened them I was here. So did I come to the afterlife?
“You are not dead. This is not the afterlife, it is just a realm I created in the moment.”
Suddenly, with a flick of the finger, the graphite cleared away and the horizon of this world was completely cleared away.
It is the horizon of light.
There were countless people standing on the horizon, and at the forefront were the backs of five warriors with gray hair.
‘Eldia… … ?’
Those following them had fluttering white hair, and judging by the swords they each carried on their backs, they appeared to be former Payqueriers.
No, it was certain.
At the end of the line were the modern-day payqueers, including the Master… … and behind them was himself.
“Your calling is to continue the light of creation. It is a fight to protect that light from going out, to keep its flame from dying out in the storm, and to pass it on to future generations.”
“… … ?”
“You are just swinging a feeble flame, relying on the dragon spirit, but there is one who will come at the end of your calling, who will swing the light of creation and end this war, this abyss.”
In an instant, a dazzling light shone from behind me. Even though I was standing with my back turned, it was so bright that it dazzled my eyes… … .
How can this light… … .
There can be a light this bright, this vast, and this powerful. I can’t even look back for fear of going blind…
‘What darkness can endure before this light… … .’
For some reason, tears flowed without me even realizing it, and my son-in-law’s face broke into a haze.
It was a shiver of sadness, longing, and joy coming from a distant future the girl did not yet know about.
Not knowing that, the girl simply thought that it was because of the realization that all those endless, endless deaths up until now had not been in vain.
– Alcaeus and Kaduel, the lineage of that dog death is passed down to you. You have been brainwashed by . Sacrifice is noble. Those who sacrifice for others are the great ones.
It’s not a dog’s death.
You didn’t die in vain.
All, all, they fought and died to protect the time when this final light would come, to prepare the way for this final light to come… … .
“Alma (01) is the beginning, and Omeq (06) is the end. In order for there to be a beginning and an end, there needs to be a line connecting the two points. That is the calling that the will of Creation has given you. Therefore, you are all Syalilion (those who prepare the way).”
The horizon of light begins to fade away, like a mirage.
Ah, I don’t like it.
Ah, I want to see more.
If only I had the skill to capture this in a drawing, if only I could take a photograph of it, I could show everyone this tearful scene.
“I am truly ashamed that I have placed such a large, heavy, and sad burden on you because of my shortcomings and because I have prioritized self-interest over the greater good.”
However, it was not Camilla’s voice that was filled with tears, but the light of that graphite.
“You will never forgive me.”
Counterattack Eve, High-altitude Infiltration in the Volcanic Zone (4)
The overwhelming amount of light condensed into the shape of a lightning bolt and pierced straight through the volcano’s blessing.
“!”
“!”
“!”
Unable to overcome the power of the sky and the light, Oukan’s knees buckled and he fell.
That era before Christ.
Just as Terbel’s brain spear finally pierced the core of the Lizard Lord, Neigalas.
Then, a lightning bolt of light explodes.
The light spreads throughout Oukan’s body like ripples and cracks. The light overflows from the cracks, reaching a saturation point, and finally incinerates the body.
“Sigh… … .”
Aydin fell to his knees, spitting blood out of his mouth.
Communication with the Creator, especially the words of punishment, were originally the subject of the Creator Gods, and thus placed a huge burden on the mortal body.
By now, several of your internal organs may have burst or been crushed.
[John: Father Aydin!]
Even the dawn thunder was one of the longest passages in the Holy Word.
This means that the power is the greatest, but this was also reduced by at least five times compared to what was just now.
It’s not all good.
The prayer time is too long, exposing vulnerabilities, and the target’s coordinates are not always fixed.
It had to be escorted by special forces, and even if it was successfully cast, it was difficult to guarantee a hit.
Now, the pressure from Lamine and Asher made the target’s movements simple, if not straight, so it was easy to succeed…
‘Still, still… … .’
I’m glad I wrote it even though it was a bit of a stretch.
If I hadn’t done this, I might have died in the helplessness of losing my comrades.
Me too, Lamine and Ashur too… … .
“Priest!”
“Priest!”
The surviving members of the Blood Horse Corps, who were in a state of near-annihilation, rushed to Aydin.
‘Aydin… … .’
Laminia, who had landed on the remains of Oukan that were still scattering in the saturation of the burning light, couldn’t even look in that direction.
I didn’t have the strength or the leeway to do that.
Now, no, I still have to continue on this path. On this path where I have lost the most precious thing, and will never hear that voice or see that smile again.
‘Should I take another disciple?’
With the sadness left behind by the being called Kami being this great, can anyone else be accepted into this space?
They say that when a child dies first, the parents bury that child in their hearts, not in the ground… … .
Her heart was nearly saturated with the death of her first disciple.
– Master.
– Master?
– Master!
Is it that there is still a part of you that doesn’t want to acknowledge that death?
I desperately held back my tears in the pain that pierced my heart and soul.
Aradmantel cried instead of the uncryable cry. High, thin, and sad… … No, this isn’t sadness, huh?
Slurp… … .
As I began to think that Aradmantel’s cries were not of sorrow but of joy at reunion, I heard the sound of the black fog dissipating.
What could it be? For a moment, I couldn’t accept my own five senses.
In the middle of where Oukan’s body had completely crumbled, there was fog that was similar in color to the volcanic ash, but its texture seemed different…
The fog was like a silkworm cocoon.
The fog was wrapping around something, and through the gaps in the fog that dispersed like unraveling threads, ‘it’ could be seen.
“uh……?”
The sight of a being that was so unbelievable that I thought I could only see it in my dreams.
Kami… … ?
Before the image was captured beyond the optic nerve and the interpretation information was transmitted to the brain, Laminea’s body was already running.
Running… … .
And run again… … .
Slide your body down onto your knees… … .
As the fog completely dissipated, I hugged the being that was falling from a height lower than an adult’s height with my whole body.
Is this a dream?
Is this an illusion?
Sight, touch, smell, everything was clearly proving the reality, but I still couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t be sure.
I hesitated.
I hesitated for a moment that felt like eternity.
It felt like an eternity. The moment before he tore off the gauntlet as if he was going to break it, and carefully placed his bare fingers on his disciple’s windpipe.
I can feel the trembling of the air.
There was breath, there was breathing.
The moment Laminea saw Ashur’s face distort… … the tears that had been welling up inside her… … finally burst out, and she couldn’t stop them.
He buried his face in his disciple’s chest.
And as if he would never let go of his disciple again, as if he would never let him fall into danger again, he tightened his grip on his disciple’s body.
“Camilla, is that you… …?”
Asher, who had approached her absentmindedly, hesitated for a while before placing his hand on Camilla’s head.
Same feel, same sensation… … .
As they laughed and chatted together, it was exactly the same feeling they had had for years… … Ashir’s vision also turned hazy.
‘No, no… … .’
This was not the time to be doing this.
He was the deputy commander of the Blood Demon Corps, and the corps was still on a mission.
[Eshir: Situation complete. Rail station secured. I repeat, Rail station secured.]
[Delfred: Headquarters, we’ve subdued the entire city, but as we check the enemy… …more are coming from under the peak. We desperately need reinforcements for the fortification operation.]
[Krawzan: Both corps have been very active. We have also received news that the Taesan and Black Rose corps are on the verge of success in their operations. End of communication.]
[Tars: Headquarters, this is Mt. Taishan. Suspension bridge and railroad secured. Combat Engineers, you may move.]
[Moslang: Confirmed, Taesan. Admiral, the combat engineers will move.]
[Halbaron: Okay.]
[Florette: Blood Horse, this is Black Rose. The garrison is currently opening the gates. You have 3 minutes to enter the interior of . Please check if the situation allows you to join. That’s it.]
Eshir whistled to call the cavalry and the men of the Legion. The Red Lotus Legion was coming to take over the defense of the railway station.
[Eshir: Black Rose, this is Blood Horse. I will go right now. Sharon is unconscious, so she cannot go, but don’t worry. Her life is not in danger.]
[Florette: Ashir, I understand. Thank you for the good news. You go in first, and when you arrive at , I will send you a message to where you need to go.]
[Tars: There is no danger on the suspension bridge. The combat engineers may transport His Majesty the Brain in the direction of 8-8-2. Carry out the operation to deploy the Brain Resonance Cult inside , that’s all.]
As Asher was about to join the army entering the city, someone approached him and grabbed his horse’s reins.
“Me too, please take me too.”
“No, Lolo. You are… … You are injured. Seriously injured! You have to stay here and take the first train to the rear.”
Roberis shook his head violently.
How, in this short and urgent time, I couldn’t explain it.
The Page family has precognitive dreams, and says that they have been having strange dreams recently. A dream where corpses are floating like stepping stones on a sea of blood, and the Master is standing at the end of the stepping stones.
and…….
He had a dream in which the Master was holding a torch and handing it over to him, smiling… … .
“Please send me only to the Master. I won’t go into the city.”
Asher bit his lip.
If I had been in the same situation, wouldn’t I have said the same thing?
And if I couldn’t keep up, I didn’t want this child to feel the sadness of losing the teacher in a place where we couldn’t be together, the pain of not being able to be together until the end…
[Eshir: Senior Tars, even though Loro lost his left arm, he wants to go to you. I will leave it up to your judgment.]
[Tars: Don’t come, Loro. Even if I say that, you’ll still come, right?]
[Roberis: I want to go.]
[Tars: Asher, I’m sorry for the trouble my disciple has caused. He’s always obedient, but sometimes he’s really disobedient. He still won’t let you go, right? Just let him go.]
Ashir immediately pulled Roberis back onto the saddle.
The sight of the arm wrapped in a bandage to stop the bleeding was a symbol of helplessness to Aeshir, so he couldn’t look at it.
He simply looked ahead and spurred his horse on. The men of the corps that had handed Aydin over to the Red Lotus Corps followed him.
[Krawzan: This is Command, inform the liaison unit. and the suspension bridge are under control. I repeat, all targets are under control. Light the signal fire and order the trains waiting at to depart. The withdrawal operation has entered phase 2. Taesan Corps and Hongryeon Corps must hold their positions.]
As the Blood Horse Riders galloped along the broken railroad of , the footsteps of the giants shaking the earth could be heard in the distance.
[Halvaron: Human Command, this is the 3rd Special Forces Group Commander. We are currently deploying a mobile artillery unit to the stronghold. Setting up the howitzer trajectory so that it can reach the interior of .]
Asher raised his head.
The sight of the red city of covered in volcanic ash and swirling black volcanic ash was eerie.
[Florette: This is Black Rose, informing headquarters. The railcar carrying His Majesty the Brain has now arrived, so Black Rose will enter and secure the gates and nearby railroad tracks. I repeat, we will enter .]
