Episode 217 – Princess, Ariana Crowfield 30 –

​

​

​

An answer I didn’t expect came out of Ygrasil’s mouth.

I asked again.

​

​

“You don’t like it?”

​

“Uh. Giggling.”

​

“Why?”

​

“Do you really need to ask that?”

​

uh. I think that’s how I know.

I thought I knew very well about Ygrasil.

​

I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when I was rejected for this reason.

Look at that.

​

The princess behind her is also extremely embarrassed.

Of course, it seems like we just vaguely know what type of person they are and just draw it out.

​

​

“The reason is simple, giggle. Are you a duke in the first place? If you attack the Duke’s house, of course you’ll be tracked down, right? What if the duke and heir are fine? If you ask the Seonghwangcheong there, it will be revealed!”

​

what. Was he a person with that much sense of self-interest?

weird? If WFS had this much sense of self-interest, there’s no way they would have done something like that, right?

​

Even if it was true that he attacked the Sword Saint right away.

Even after being revived, they attack you again.

​

A man who killed a nobleman who tried to take him under his wing just because he wanted to.

You’re just refusing because you’re afraid of being pursued by Seonghwangcheong?

​

A person who can’t even control his madness because of his natural instinct?

Something was strange.

​

‘What on earth is the problem?’

​

Think about it.

What was different from before that caused this to happen?

​

Find out what’s different from the past.

​

​

There must be a cause for the result.

This is especially true if the results have changed.

​

Ygrasil has changed.

There is definitely a reason for that.

​

What exactly is it?

​

‘ah. There is. ‘Suggle.’

​

When I thought about it deeply, there was a difference.

​

One thing has changed.

A variable that changes the past and distorts the future.

​

That’s it…

​

​

​

​

‘me : yes… It’s sad… ‘

​

It was me.

​

​

It wasn’t anything unusual.

Because I, a human being, created an infinite number of stars to compress time.

​

WFS’s Igrasil was a human being whose judgment was normal, but who could not be properly controlled due to his mortal nature.

So, I thought that after the resurrection, I would live my life appropriately relieving my natural instincts.

​

But it was wrong.

​

He was living his life with more control over his nature than before.

I really don’t know what method they used.

​

​

‘There is something to be expected… ‘

​

Because I wasn’t sure.

I just decided to think of another way.

​

​

“Good. You also had an idea. Honestly, I thought it didn’t exist, but if you’re worried about that, you can’t do it.”

​

“What is it? Giggling. Do you want to die?”

​

“If you kill us here, we will be torn apart by your swordsman. I don’t know, but the person behind me is not normal.”

​

“You mean to report it? Giggling. I guess you don’t know the word killer planthopper? She seems to be the daughter of a high-ranking noble family. Giggling.”

​

“No. Even if you are a member of the royal family and have simply gone missing, the Holy Imperial Office will mobilize even saints to find the person responsible. Even if you are just a scoundrel, the Sword Saint will personally come and scold you.”

​

This was the truth without any lies.

Kidnapping or assassinating a member of the royal family is a serious crime.

​

Of course, if the culprit is discovered, a person of the rank of Sword Saint will personally execute him.

​

Besides, I can’t send him away alive.

If you are a princess, you can just use your power to attack Igrasil.

​

It was a dilemma.

​

Bang~

​

Ygrasil hit the seat hard and glared at me.

There was anger on his face.

​

It was a normal response.

Of course it was right to be angry.

​

Because ‘he’ Ygrasil was threatened.

He is none other than the Sword Saint, who from his point of view is the worst enemy.

​

​

“You… Are you sane?”

​

“Don’t glare at me so fiercely. I have no intention of threatening you with the princess.”

​

“How can you believe that? huh? It only looks like your intention is to threaten me? huh? No matter how much you think about it, that’s it, right? Are you threatening me? huh? it is not so?

If you were planning to placate me based on common sense, you wouldn’t have brought the princess, wouldn’t have revealed that she was the princess, or wouldn’t have brought up the name Geomseong at all, right? is not it? Huh?”

​

You are the one who doesn’t understand common sense.

You actually put common sense into your mouth.

He was truly a funny person.

​

He said that being human was a normal thing to say for once.

It’s not about being a person with common sense.

​

Of course, I understand his position.

It’s almost 500 years.

​

There was a time when he was trapped in the demonic realm around his neck and could not escape.

​

Even if he didn’t have a strong will due to his unique mania.

Even now, when it was resurrected after 500 years.

​

I could have experienced something more terrible.

Death.

​

That’s possible because he threatens with such swordsmanship.

No, it’s strange that he’s so calm.

​

So I corrected that statement.

​

​

“Of course not. Would you threaten me with that in the first place? If we threaten you like that, you might just tip us off to the duke.

Since he did not win the competition for the throne, that statement will be fatal. I don’t necessarily want to involve you in such a ‘high-risk’ method.”

This is obvious.

If you force him into it, he might do something strange.

​

Therefore, negotiations with him must be conducted strictly according to his wishes.

Making a suggestion that he is begging for.

​

That was the key to victory.

​

​

“The reason you ultimately refused it was because of the threat. It’s not that I don’t like the suggestion. That means that in order to accept the offer, the conditions must be modified.”

​

“Why are you pretending that something obvious is some great realization? I want to kill you. Giggling.”

​

“Anyway. In the end, if you attack the Duke’s house, the problem will be tracking down the Holy Emperor who will follow you. In the end, you are in a position where you have to put an end to that Seonghwangcheong.”

​

“Yes.”

​

done.

asked.

​

Pakㅡ

​

On the spot, I took out the items I had prepared in advance.

​

​

‘I thought I’d write it, but… I thought it would be used to erase traces, but I didn’t think it would be used to persuade… ‘

​

Even if you go to Moro, you only have to go to Seoul.

It didn’t matter because I ended up going the right way.

​

“Now, let’s see!”

​

What I took out was a small potion.

The liquid contained within was shining slightly translucent.

​

The white, shining liquid seemed to contain holy divinity.

Actually, that sentiment was correct.

​

​

“That… Is it holy water?”

​

“You know very well.”

​

This is water infused with divine power.

A type of healing agent produced by Seonghwangcheong.

​

Because it was holy water.

​

​

“Holy water contains divine power. Divine power is truly the power of God. Therefore, although this power can be offset, it cannot be denied.”

​

Divine power is the power of God.

Denying this is close to impossible.

​

Although it can offset the healing by inflicting wounds.

This means that it is almost impossible to block healing itself.

​

​

“But if. If we could deny the power of God itself, the story would be different.”

​

That means that the stigmata of the saint are also denied.

​

As I continued speaking, the atmosphere changed.

Igrasil’s face brightened.

​

Originally, I would have thought it was bullshit.

I have already gifted him a dragon body that boasts as good a quality as his real body.

My credit is already very high.

​

​

Jjiik ㅡ

​

Aura-enhanced claws tear my other arm mercilessly.

My arm suffered long lacerations and was horribly mangled.

​

Taking advantage of that gap, the holy water cylinder with its open lid tilts.

Slurp~

​

As the holy water flows, it begins to burn my skin.

​

​

“What… Nothing much? Do you want to die? Giggling.”

​

However, the holy water restored my body without any problem.

Blood fills, flesh fills up, and the broken body is put back together.

​

In a scene where a miracle of God that cannot be realized through magic occurs.

Another miracle of God has descended on this land.

​

​

“What… ?”

​

“!!! Uh, how did you do it… !”

​

Even Alice was surprised by this one.

It wasn’t anything strange.

​

I didn’t explain it in detail to Alice either.

Because even love can be abandoned in the face of beliefs.

​

​

What I used is simple:

I’m taking over the Evil God Church.

​

I saved Alice.

What I got in return when I gained Alice’s favor.

​

It is the stigmata of evil spirits.

​

​

This power cancels out the power of the Heavenly God just by existing.

It prevents the power of God from functioning as the power of God.

​

So the results were visible on my arms.

​

“Seo, Seongsu… !”

​

Seongsu no longer healed the wound.

The black energy emanating from my body stained the holy water black.

​

The inspection that was made like that ended up being nothing.

It was just black colored water.

​

Two people who witnessed shocking results.

And I spoke to those two people.

​

​

“I have the power to nullify divine power.”

​

The evidence was shown.

The cause was told.

​

The choice is yours.

​

​

“Now I’ll ask you again. Do you want to join us?”

​

Humans are.

​

If the responsibilities you have to take on become less.

You do things you didn’t want to do.

​

I believe.

The immortality that must have settled inside him.

​

​

“The swordsman you resent so much. The empire he had protected his entire life. Don’t you want to screw over the duke family that forms the core of that country?”

​

So accept it.

Because it is time to fulfill the treaty I promised in advance.
