Seltan could not keep his mouth shut at the unfolding sight.

The traces from 500 years ago that I had longed to see.

Although it cannot be said to be all of them, I saw traces of old heroes.

How could I not be thrilled?

To see this, I traveled to many historic sites over countless years and overcame crises with my colleagues.

Although my colleagues no longer exist, I have inherited their aspirations and eventually succeeded in reaching this place.

“… ”

Seltan barely swallowed the tears that were welling up in his eyes.

Sera looked at Celtan in silence for a moment and then looked at the traces in front of her.

Traces of age can be seen at a glance by anyone.

However, the location was so clear that anyone who came could know where it was.

‘Four heroes.’

A saint, a wizard, a warrior, a warrior.

There are four statues erected.

In addition, the sword and various other items that appear to have been used by ancient warriors were clearly from 500 years ago.

Sera approached the standing statues of heroes.

Heroes that we have only seen in fairy tales.

When I was young, I vaguely thought that they were cool, I wanted to be like them, and I vaguely thought that heroes lived well.

As her head grew, she learned that this was not necessarily the case.

The world runs unfairly, and those who sacrificed themselves for the world would not necessarily be left with a happy ending.

Although we don’t know exactly how the heroes ended up.

It could be that the thought was simply an illusion and that they lived happily ever after.

But Sarah thought to herself.

I didn’t think their ending would be vaguely good, like a fairy tale.

The statues were clearly smiling, but they looked sad.

She looked solemnly at the statue and carefully closed her eyes. In that state, she quietly prayed. Although 500 years have passed, I hope you have a comfortable time in heaven.

Jeez.

It was that kind of time.

Seltan, who had been silently holding back tears, moved.

The time I was immersed in emotions was short.

He is a scholar who has a duty to inform the present about the heroes of the past.

I had to put my sadness behind me and investigate and interpret their traces.

“Sera. You too can help. And keep in mind: That you should never do anything roughly.”

“Yes.”

Although she was forced to leave, she was also a girl who admired heroes.

Even though their starting points were different, she wanted to make heroes better known to the world as much as Seltan, so she helped Seltan wholeheartedly.

***

Two huge blows.

The two seemingly unpredictable attacks ended in my victory.

In fact, if it is natural, it can be said to be a natural result.

The woman’s last attack was truly dangerous.

Although it was my victory in the end.

I saw a woman lying down.

Perhaps because he had used up all his strength, he couldn’t even move his body.

However, those eyes were still ferocious.

“The damn devil’s agent… ”

I shook my head, looking at her as if she would have rushed at me right now if she had been able to move.

‘Is it going to be a conversation?’

Looking at the situation, it was fortunate that we didn’t get scolded, let alone talk.

However, it couldn’t be like this, so I sat down in front of the fallen woman, made eye contact with her, and asked.

“Why do you think I’m the devil’s agent?”

“Ha. Are you really planning on pretending not to know? With such a disgusting smell of magic in the air.”

“First of all, about that. It smells like magic. Doesn’t it make sense based on common sense?”

I unleashed divine power.

Sparkling light instantly spreads throughout the space.

However, despite this, the woman’s eyes did not change one bit.

“Even after this, you still don’t believe me?”

“At least it was probably a trick.”

“Even with that level of dignity, you wouldn’t know whether I really cheated or not, right?”

“… ”

The woman just glared at me, as if she had nothing to say.

Didn’t say anything.

The woman probably knows too.

If I had really cheated, he would have found out.

In the first place, it was not an energy that could be deceived just because divine power could be deceived.

Especially if, as she said, I really am the Demon Lord’s henchman, it is not an energy that can be used as a trick.

But even though I knew that fact, my thoughts still seemed to have not changed.

While wondering what to do, I directly told her about her condition.

No matter how you look at it, the reason a woman of this size looks like she’s missing a screw is because her magical energy seems to have eroded.”

“Magi is not with me, it’s with you.”

“Bullshit.”

“Why don’t you check for yourself to see if it’s nonsense or not.”

Instead of speaking, I stretched out my hand.

The woman was wary of my actions, but she couldn’t move, so she just glared at me.

“I won’t harm you, so don’t worry.”

What I will do is separate her from the magic that has been consumed by her.

It was quite tricky as it was eroded into her soul, but with a little concentration it was quite possible.

‘If there is a problem, the rejection reaction shouldn’t be severe.’

Because it touches the soul, there must be strong trust between each other.

Even if there is no trust, it will be okay as long as you don’t resist.

There was no way the woman in front of me could remain still.

The disgust and hostility towards me is so strong. Is there any way not to offer any resistance?

Especially for transcendental beings, it was clear that they would not allow it because their souls are tens of thousands of times more important than their bodies.

‘But even so, I have no choice but to do it.’

Aside from simply wanting to show her.

If left like this, the woman’s soul will be further eroded by demonic energy and completely destroyed.

By that time, her original personality would no longer remain, but I couldn’t just watch that scene.

I said to the woman before I touched her.

“What I will do from now on is to separate the demon energy from you.”

“Even if you did, did you think I would allow that? And that too to you, the demon king’s henchman.”

The woman reacted violently, as I expected.

There was a readiness in her eyes to cause harm even if it meant throwing everything at her if she touched it at any moment.

I spoke to that woman.

“Of course you won’t believe it. Instead of thinking of yourself as possessing demonic power, you will think of me as the demon lord’s liaison. But I want you to know this much. I am not the devil’s liaison as you think. I just want to save you.”

“Saving enemies who were just fighting to kill each other? He’s truly crazy.”

“Well.”

If it were simply an enemy, I wouldn’t have done this either.

But the woman in front of him is not just an enemy.

I don’t know exactly what the circumstances are or what the problem is.

At least it was clear that the woman in front of him was definitely not an evil person.

That was the reason I saved the woman.

Also, I never recognized the woman in front of me as an enemy from the beginning, and there was also a reason why I couldn’t just watch in silence as she was consumed by demonic energy.

The woman won’t believe it.

“If I was going to touch your soul in the first place, I wouldn’t have given permission like this. I would have killed him a long time ago. But if you still don’t believe me, I’ll swear in the name of the Transcendent. How about it?”

The name of the transcendent.

It can be said that it is the definition of the transcendent himself.

Not just a name, but the essence of the Transcendent itself.

Therefore, no country could break the oath made in its name.

Because breaking those things is no different from denying myself.

The woman also knew this and showed some signs of conflict, but distrust still existed.

Then I closed my eyes and cried out.

“I, Yucheon, swear at this moment that I will not let any harm come to this woman. If you violate this, you will be immediately deprived of all status and disappear.”

A light appeared before my eyes.

It was a sign that an oath had been made.

I saw a woman.

A woman looking at me with eyes that seemed to make no sense.

The woman opened her mouth in bewilderment.

“Do you know what you did?”

“I don’t know why. I did it myself.”

“Even though you knew, you put your own status and extinction as a penalty?”

“Well, what do you think? Anyway, as I swore, I had no intention of causing any harm to you.”

If I could be trusted with this, I could say it was a profitable business.

This means that there is no resistance at all when the demon spirit and soul are separated.

The woman closed her eyes for a moment, probably thinking a lot.

It looks like a lot of worries are passing by.

Soon the woman opened her eyes.

Unlike before, it was full of determination.

“Good. I’ll trust you just this time.”

“Then let’s start right away.”

The situation is such that the woman’s permission has not been reached.

I stretched out my hand without further hesitation.
