episode_0132

Two wolves ran on a green meadow.

There was a demonic spirit inside their brave eyes.

The van heading to the Great Forest was attacked by a demonic beast and was in danger.

An imminent situation where the sharp fangs of a demonic beast are about to pierce a human.

Fortunately, the demon beast could not taste human blood.

“Crraaaa!”

One of the wolves quickly bit the human’s back and escaped the spot, while the other bit the beast’s neck.

The wolves perfectly executed the rescue and counterattack.

The wolf, which had completed the rescue one after another, also joined in and severed the beast’s right ankles with its claws.

As part of the legs that supported the body disappeared, the beast’s center of gravity was disturbed.

Even so, his body tilted as the weight of the wolf that was clinging to him from the other side and biting his neck was added.

The wolves took advantage of the gradual collapse to the right and separated the beast’s body and neck.

The evil beast’s impure black blood was scattered, but not even the wolves’ fur or teeth were stained with blood.

Twin wolves protected by the goddess of purity and the moon.

It was showing a noble appearance as a spirit creature that protected the Moon Temple and the Great Forest.

“It was a great time… … .”

While Rian was quietly watching the twin wolves in action, he turned his head when he heard a voice coming from behind him.

A woman with slender features, yellow short hair, and a white dress reminiscent of moonlight was coming down from the sky.

She fell slowly, ignoring gravity, and lightly touched the ground.

“Are you the moon goddess?”

“I never thought I could recognize it at a glance. You’re quite quick-witted, aren’t you?”

“A world created by the sacred objects enshrined in the Temple of the Moon. If you have the power to create the world, it has to be at least the power of God.”

“Your brain is so sharp. You’re right. I am Diana, the moon goddess who brought you here.”

“Do you mind if I ask why you called me?”

Even when faced with God, Rian skips the introduction and goes straight to the main topic.

Diana grinned as if to say, ‘Have you seen such a bold guy?’

However, there were limits to God’s power as it held on to the time of reality.

It was an implicit consideration given the realization that it could not last long.

“I came here to pay off my debt.”

“Do you mean debt?”

Lian’s face, which had maintained its composure the whole time, took on a look of confusion.

This was my first time meeting Diana, and I had no connection with the Moon believer, but when she brought up the story of her debt, I couldn’t help but be puzzled.

However, it was not possible to argue disrespectfully in front of God.

“Isn’t it absurd? It’s natural. Because it’s a debt that your wolf friend had to pay, not you.”

“… … Are you talking about debt from my past life?”

“As expected, I remembered my past life. Well, otherwise there would be no way you would set foot in my territory.”

“Can we regard the twin wolves as a debt owed to the goddess?”

“Accurate. He watched over children who couldn’t tell what was right or wrong, and gave them all kinds of blessings, allowing them to live out the rest of their lives happily. Am I the only god in the world who has raised children like this?”

“You want to be rewarded for raising children.”

Diana smiled brightly and nodded in affirmation.

From Ryan’s perspective, it was difficult in many ways.

Even if it’s not him, anyone is bound to be embarrassed if they are asked to repay the debts of their past life.

There is a way to refuse with a valid reason, but I was reluctant to do so.

Because rejection meant denying the relationship between oneself and the twins.

“Good. Please tell me how I can pay off my debt.”

“I won’t ask you to do anything too difficult. Because I also received a lot of gratitude from the twins. Like the scene just shown, he made a name for himself by protecting the guests who came to the Temple of the Moon.”

“It was definitely quite strong for a wolf.”

“It’s thanks to me giving you a lot of blessings. But after the twins passed away… … .”

“The temple’s downfall has begun.”

“If I were to be honest like that, even if I were a goddess, it would hurt, right?”

“Sorry.”

“That’s okay, I miss those days, but I’m not so stupid that I’m still obsessed with the past.”

Diana shrugged her shoulders and seemed unconcerned.

Saying that your heart hurts is empty… At least half of it is a joke.

I was shaking off the past and looking toward the future.

“Anyway, there is only one thing I want you to do. All you have to do is rebuild my temple.”

“Are you saying to revive a religion that has already declined?”

“I am not asking you to build a country like Praana. A few of my followers can stay at the temple. Just like before.”

“Faith comes only when it is rewarded.”

“Of course, I plan to bestow numerous blessings on my followers! You don’t have to worry about that part, just recruit hopeful believers!”

“When is the deadline? I have something to do right now.”

“It doesn’t really matter. Just do it until you die.”

“Umm… … .”

Diana narrowed her brows as she looked as if she was troubled in many ways.

“Did I ask such a difficult request? It’s not dangerous, and it’s just a matter of gathering a few believers to follow me, right?”

“It’s not a very difficult request.”

“Then why did you react so reluctantly? Depending on your answer, I may have to place a curse on you.”

“I didn’t have any profane thoughts. I’m just concerned that the road ahead of me is close to death.”

“What does that mean?”

“The decisive battle with the Demon King is approaching.”

“… … .”

As soon as she heard Lian’s words, Diana’s eyes widened.

I wanted to threaten him by asking if he was lying to God, but the sincere look in his eyes made me keep my mouth shut.

“Why do you want to walk yourself into death? It’s not like I was cursed by the devil like I was when I was a wolf.”

“It may or may not be a path to death.”

“No, if you fight the Demon King, you will definitely die. He… … .”

Diana closed her eyes tightly and hesitated for a moment.

Even though he was deep in thought, he finally opened his mouth and revealed the shocking truth.

“Because he was once a god like me.”

“Shin… ?”

“Okay. The incarnation of evil who created demons and beasts for the purpose of creating a world full of chaos, and the Demigod who was expelled from the divine world and reigned as the demon king. That is the identity of the demon king.”

This time, Lian was quite shocked.

I knew that, unlike other kings, the Demon King was not a succession, but was continued by a single absolute figure.

However, I could never imagine that the Demon King was a god in the distant past.

The fact that he was a demigod even after losing his godhood was even more shocking.

Although not an omnipotent god, Demigod is also clearly immortal.

It was an opponent for whom the fight itself was not established.

“You know the difference in case, right? So don’t do anything pointless and live peacefully. At least the Demon King won’t invade the human world directly!”

“Unfortunately, that is not possible.”

“Why!”

“Because the Demon King recognized me as his opponent and invited me to the castle.”

“That crazy guy invited you?”

“Perhaps it’s because I’m the reincarnation of the first warrior, God’s representative.”

“… … You also have a very strange fate.”

“It’s a pity that it’s not the fate I hoped for.”

A fate full of painful hardships and harsh trials.

Although it was fate that one could achieve great achievements by overcoming hardships, it was also accompanied by pain.

Although Ryan hoped for an easy path, he could not escape his fate.

The same goes for the decisive battle with the Demon King. Even if there was a way to ignore the Demon King’s invitation and hide, it was clear that fate would inevitably bring him out into the world.

The only thing left was to overcome fate on my own and not break the cycle of suffering.

“Unless I defeat the Demon King, there is no future for me. Even if there is a next chance, you will just follow the same steps as before and end up with the same ending.”

Running away is leaving my work to myself in the next life.

Looking back on my past life, I could see that my next life would also meet a terrible end.

So, Rian thought that now was the time when the best conditions were met and made up his mind.

“Reckless.”

“Even if it is reckless, I intend to fight. If you just bite and suck your fingers and be afraid, nothing will change.”

“… … Ugh, I can’t help it. I have no choice but to do my best to collect my old debt.”

Cold, clean energy flowed from Diana’s hand to Lian.

The divine power of Diana began to newly inhabit the divine power of Praana obtained from Alaina.

It is said that two divine sources cannot coexist.

However, that was only used by believers.

There is a main deity that one believes in and follows, but worshiping other deities is an act of blasphemy and is subject to divine punishment.

However, in the case of Rian, although he was chosen by God, he was not a devout believer.

Since it was an agent for punishing evil, religious beliefs were not very important.

Therefore, even if the divine powers of different gods were mixed, there was no problem.

“I handed over most of my strength. So don’t die arbitrarily, but survive and pay my debt.”

“Thank you!”

“In addition, among the swords you have, is there one named after a star?”

“Are you talking about Stella?”

“Yes, as the goddess of the moon, I am very close to the stars. So, there is a power that was requested from the stars to be handed over to your sword.”

“Is it your blessing?”

“different. Because the power entrusted to the stars is part of the origin.”

“If it is the source, it is not divine protection… … .”

“It’s a transfer of authority.”

Diana, who received Stella from Lian, tightened her grip on the sword and injected it with mysterious energy.

The red and blue energies were seeping into Stella without mixing.

The red star and the blue star are polar opposites.

The two forces swirled around like a whirlpool and were sucked in.

“It’s over, take it.”

“Thank you!”

“There is no need to be thankful in this case. Because you will have to handle what happens from now on.”

“Yes?”

“It was not a gift of divine protection, but rather the power itself was transferred to the sword. But there’s no way something won’t happen.”

“Can you possibly know in advance what will happen?”

“If you don’t release even a little bit of the overflowing power, that sword will self-destruct and disappear. So you must help them unleash their power.”

In real time, Stella’s sword body turned red and then blue.

Seeing the swords turning into a jumbled mess, Lian felt something was wrong.

“Can I just shoot out sword energy?”

“That’s just letting it go little by little. You have to explode it all at once and release it.”

“Then, with the greatest power I can manifest… … .”

“Don’t do that, just surrender yourself to the sword and it will take care of it.”

Leave your body to the sword.

Listen to the sound of the sword and follow the doctor.

However, after entering Diana’s territory, no sound of swords was heard.

‘Will I really be able to listen to Stella’s opinion?’

Lian closed his eyes and focused his mind on Stella.

The moment when I went into a trance to hear the sword’s intention.

Stella’s voice, however faint, reached Lian’s head.

“… S… crab… Uh.”

“Sgere… ?”

“… S… crab… Oh!”

“What on earth are you talking about?”

I had to understand Stella’s intention through incomplete words.

At that time, Rian, who had no clue, was expressing his confusion. There was a hand forcefully pushing him away.

Lian suddenly lies down on the floor. A woman climbed on top of him and made him feel the feel and weight of her soft buttocks.

“Take it off sexily!”

It really meant surrendering oneself to the sword.
