88. The remaining one semester is (3)
The system screen appeared before my eyes.
That system that made me think I had possessed the game “Demon King Slayer.” Even with all my memories back, the system was still functioning.
‘It was originally a divine spell from the ancient empire, activated by my mother’s divine power.’
A divine spell. Strictly speaking, this system, which my mother implanted in me through a spell, is a lost technology from the ancient empire.
The Earth where I lived in my past life. Even the Earth, with its advanced scientific civilization that I thought was modern, was just a part of the ancient empire’s long history.
The ancient empire, or rather, the term ancient civilization might be more fitting.
A distant past, beyond the ability to estimate the time.
There was a civilization with extremely advanced science and technology. But that science and technology destroyed humanity itself. And humanity was reborn based on that science and technology. But again, they faced extinction.
In that long cycle of extinction and rebirth. Finally, a super-consciousness transcending humans began to be created.
That existence was none other than Jedin of Light and Yunir of Darkness.
Through the memories of my past life, faintly revived by my mother’s spell, and the memories of the ancient empire that my mother left in the Rosario. I was able to recognize even a little bit about the truth of the ancient empire.
[You are qualified to approach that truth.]
And Erti, a sacred object from the ancient empire era, specifically the late ancient empire era, also gave me some memories of that truth.
But even Erti does not have all the records of that long period. Because of the providence of God, which is extinction, only a small part of the records of the previous generation remained.
[Even that is mostly from the late ancient empire. After the distortion called the Voice broke into this world, most of the records were lost.]
Erti continued.
The holy sword Ciertia was created when the ancient empire was destroyed. But the holy sword that Jedin left for the future of Islen, its ego was not created quickly.
The self called Ciertia, after the fall of the ancient empire. It was only in the dark ages when the conflict between humans and demons in Islen reached its peak that it awakened.
[The truth that I remember is…]
The late ancient empire.
An era when different races such as dragons and high elves existed. And special humans with qualities that transcended human limits, such as Reinhardtgana, Aschterik, and Orhainga, existed as races.
At the end of that era, the existence of chaos, the Voice, appeared. Those beings from another world, now called monsters. In the great chaos created by those beings from another dimension. Yunir, who was the main god, disappeared.
Erti told me that fact.
I slowly read the screen that appeared on the system.

「Official Student of the Pantheon of the Holy Academy」

: The clues are given to you. Get closer to the truth of the Pantheon.
——-
The last quest the system provides me. Top student of the Pantheon of the Holy Academy.
And I examined the words written in the quest reward more carefully.
‘The truth of the Pantheon of the Holy Academy.’
And along with that sentence, Yunir’s Star was written. I don’t know what it is.
What is certain is that Yunir, the main god who is higher than the demon dukes. If an object that might be a sacred object of Yunir is the reward for this quest.
It meant that it could be a sure blow against the demon dukes who do not recognize me.
‘This must be the last thing I have to do in this Pantheon.’
And as explained in Sub Quest 2. It was explained that the clues to the truth were given to me.
I had been thinking about the meaning of this quest for quite some time since it was activated. In fact, the answer was simple.
After all my memories came back.
I realized that among the heroines around me, there was the most heterogeneous existence. Through my mother’s foresight and divine spells, I thought of the heroine as another playable character in Demon King Slayer.
‘Lucia.’
Erti also agreed with that thought.
[Leister, who is with me in the ring. She told me something. Do you want to hear it?]
Leister spent his childhood with Lucia in the slums. I focused on the words that Erti conveyed through his will.
Several days passed. A letter came from Carmen.
It contained the information that Cardinal Grius’s rebellion would take place next week. Mid-June. A week from now.
The place where I am now is Cecilia’s workshop. I folded the letter back and said to the two people who were drinking tea together.
“How are the lectures at the Art and Technology Orders?”
At those words, Aylin and Cecilia looked at me.
“There are many students who do not participate in the reserve squad in the Art Order, so the lectures are proceeding normally, Doryeon-nim.”
Cecilia also continued.
“The Technology Order seems to be busier than usual. Weapon orders are endless without even thinking about taking a leave of absence… The professors are still enthusiastic.”
Like those words, the atmosphere of the two orders that did not participate in the reserve squad was quite different from the other orders. So the two of them. They were able to diligently spend their lives as students of the academy, even belatedly.
‘But this will be the last semester for both of them.’
Both are precious people I will take as my wives. So I was thinking of taking both of them to Essenmund when the first semester ends.
‘I want them to enjoy academy life for at least a year. But that would be impossible.’
Demon King Slayer, so the future that my mother’s foresight predicted is quite different now. The Nest raid, which was originally scheduled for October, has already become vague.
But the news coming from the Bangrius faction guards stationed on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital was unusual.
According to what Lilia heard, that Nest, which was scheduled to be raided. It was said that it was growing much faster.
‘I don’t have time after all.’
When that Nest fully awakens, the fifth Chaotic Gate that my parents risked their lives to seal will open.
Duke Pedro must also be aware of the meaning of that Nest. But I wasn’t impatient.
‘I’ve been preparing everything. A sure weapon.’
The imperial sword that Cecilia made was a great success even in the last magic battle.
But my body has already exceeded its limits due to dragonification. The imperial sword was already broken due to the final blow that caught Leister.
After all, to prevent the predicted destruction. A new weapon that can defy that fate was needed.
Of course, that weapon is the holy sword Ciertia. The holy sword that wrote the legend of the Sword Empress Atlin. The revival of that Ciertia is now just around the corner.
The holy sword revival quest, the trials of the 6 temples. The trials that followed through the system have all been completed.
Two trials, the trials of the Art and Technology Orders, remained. But thanks to Aylin and Cecilia, those trials were already cleared naturally.
I checked Aylin’s quest first.
——-
* Main Quest 「Trials of the 6 Temples」
: Clear the trials of each order to acquire clues about the truth of the Pantheon Academy and revive the holy sword.
### Hesus’s Aesthetic Sense (Tier 1) – Completed
: The priest of Hesus, blessed with art, has opened his body and mind to you.
: The quest was completed early due to 「Artist of this Era Recognized for Commerciality」.
: The priest with the most outstanding aesthetic sense found a work of art to be dedicated to God. 「Yulian von Reinhardt」
——-
Like this, it was naturally broken only by the activities that Aylin had been doing. There were two reasons why the quest could be completed early.
I learned while learning art from Aylin. Aylin, who is from the Gloria Kingdom royal family, had a unique aesthetic sense.
In order to enter the Pantheon’s Art Order, even high-ranking nobles who had been learning art since childhood needed separate tutoring for the entrance exam.
But Aylin passed the practical exam very easily.
‘In fact, the professors were surprised to see the painting Aylin drew. And not only the professors…’
Even the picky Chloe had a contract with Aylin. Like the quest description, Aylin’s paintings are said to be selling very expensively among the nobles of the Imperial Capital.
It was natural for Hesus, the god of art, to recognize her who had entered the Pantheon.
“Um… Eylin Onee-san. Is it really okay for me to receive this?”
At that moment, I was checking the quest window for a moment. Aylin handed Cecilia a frame. I almost spewed out mint chocolate at the sight of the frame.
‘That’s a portrait of me.’
Cecilia held the frame preciously in her arms.
“It’s okay to give it to Cecil.”
Aylin smiled brightly. The two of them are on good terms. Before I knew it, the two of them had become even closer like real sisters.
Both of them know that I, the dragon man, am making a harem. The two of them had already peacefully agreed on the hierarchy between them like that.
The two of them didn’t seem to have any complaints about sharing me. No, they seemed to be satisfied.
‘No, even if that’s the case…’
The sentence ‘work of art dedicated to God’ in the last line of the quest description window. Next to it was my name. And it was another reason why the quest was completed early.
Aylin recognized me as a work of art created by Jedin himself.
“Oppa… You look so handsome even when I see you in a painting like this.”
Cecilia smiled brightly at me. I knew that my appearance, which resembled my elf father, was an appearance that women liked.
It felt strange again when Aylin, who was qualified as a priest of the Art Order, recognized it like that. No, actually, I was embarrassed.
‘Well… It doesn’t matter since the quest was completed quickly.’
I usually see my own appearance, so I don’t care that much. I checked Cecilia’s quest window this time to get rid of that embarrassing feeling.
——-
* Main Quest 「Trials of the 6 Temples」
### Endier’s Artisan (Tier 1) – Completed
: The priest of Endier, blessed with technology, has opened his body and mind to you.
: Met a sponsor who recognized the technology ahead of the times. 「Yulian von Reinhardt」
: The quest was completed early due to 「Popular Blacksmith Whose Hammering in the Workshop Never Stops」.
——-
Like Aylin, the trial was completed early. The fact that I highly valued Cecilia’s talent and became a sponsor.
And since signing a contract with Chloe’s Ithern Merchant Guild, Cecilia has always had endless orders.
‘Just looking at that, you can see how outstanding a craftsman Cecilia is.’
So it was rather natural for the quest to be completed early. All the trials were completed like this.
——-
* Main Quest 「Trials of the 6 Temples」
: The trials of the 6 temples have been completed. Ciertia can now be revived.
### Jedin’s Blessing (Tier 1)
: When Ciertia is crafted, the bodies and minds of the divine priests representing the trials will be actively opened.
——-
I could check it through the notification window like this.
And through all these trial notification windows. I realized that Lucia was the only heterogeneous heroine.
‘The trial of Roia was different from the other trials.’
Lilia, Rosette, and Chloe. And even Aylin and Cecilia now.
All of them cleared the quest themselves as the subject of the trial quest. But only one trial was different.
The first trial, the trial of the Combat Order, Roia’s trial. That trial did not belong to Lucia.
Before entering Roia’s trial. I thought Lucia contributed to the trial because of the fusion formula we created together.
‘But when I actually received Roia’s trial. Lucia wasn’t with me.’
And only belatedly did I know who the subject of the trial was.
‘The divine priest representing Roia was me.’
Even my mother Agnes was a divine priest of Roia. And the Reinhardt family is the family that even the god of combat blesses.
In other words, the trials of the 6 temples were not just trials for the heroines. In other words, the trial that even I was included as the subject was the trial of the 6 temples.
‘So Lucia’s role is.’
It must be different from the other heroines.
Beyond the main quest, the revival of Ciertia, the final main quest that will be in the Pantheon. There must be a role left for Lucia in that quest.
‘But I have to keep that fact a secret from Lucia.’
I organized my thoughts like that and said to the two of them.
“Now it’s time to revive the holy sword. Everyone should gather at the atelier. Starting from tonight.”
To craft Ciertia. Not only the two of them, but all the heroines are needed.
As evening came, the atelier was crowded.
