Chapter 185 - Two Persons (3)



 

<I’m the one that eliminated your curse .  Despite this fact, there are two reasons why you slept for a long time . >

First, Carlos eliminated the curse after Azell fell asleep for over 100 years .  Until that moment, Azell had been using his hibernation to resist against the curse, and he had been persistent in hanging onto his life .

Secondly, the damage he had taken from the curse had put him close to death .  It took a long time for Azell to recover from it .

“I woke up with my Rings of Life missing not because of the long sleep… . . . ”

<The curse ate away at it .  If it wasn’t for your Rings of Life, you would have died before I was able to circumvent the curse . >

“So that's how it was…… . ”

Azell was astonished .  He knew something had gone awry, but he hadn’t expected this .

“What was the true identity of the curse?”

Albatan had revealed that Atein’s curse hadn’t been placed there only to kill Azell . Albatan had revealed that there was some profound intent behind the curse .

Carlos spoke .

<Dragon Demon General . >

“What are you saying?”

<Atein planned on making you the new Dragon Demon general, Azell . >

“What?”

Azell couldn’t hide the shock he was feeling .  

What nonsense was he saying?

However, Carlos was serious .

<Let’s look at our current situation .  All the Dragon weapons of the Dragon Demon generals had been preserved .  Reygus’ corpse had been destroyed, yet he was brought back as a special breed of Undead .  How was he revived as this special Undead?  Moreover, Almarick was able to come fully back to life, because his corpse had been recovered .  How was this all possible?>

“What’s worse is that Atein is trying to revive himself too .  Laura surmised that this was all possible thanks to the Great Darkness…… . ”

<That i s correct .  They stored their essence within the Great Darkness, and this allows them to be revived . >

“What is the Great Darkness?  How can it bring about such miracles?”

<If I try to explain it in a concise manner… . .  Hmmm .  Yes .  Let us say there are beings that had gained transcendent power .  It is the graveyard for those that had reached for immortality . >



“A graveyard?”

<There were beings that couldn’t die, and those that were dead that still wanted to live forever .  It’s a graveyard that promised eternal sleep for these beings . >

“…you are explaining in a prose that magicians love to use .  I have no idea what you are trying to say . ”

<Ha ha ha .  If I start getting into the specifics, the explanation will become endless .  However, I’ll tell you about a figure you have to know .  There was a being named Belrun from a long time ago . >

“What did he do?”

<He was called the King of Death .  He was the original black magician . >

“That’s a very grandiose title .  I don’t think I’ve heard about him before… . . . ”

<He was a figure buried in legends .  However, he once pushed the world to the brink of its demise .  He was the first amongst the numerous creatures of this world to defy death .  He became an Undead .  He also used his experience of becoming an Undead to create summoning techniques that taunted death . >

It was the same story told by Reygus to Chanes .

‘A living being feels pain, because one is alive .  That is why I will make everyone into an Undead .  Everyone will transcend the cycle of life and death .  This will free everyone from the the pain caused by the four phases of life!’

Belrun was a madman that had tried to bring his ambition into reality .  

The problem was the fact that Belrun had the enough power to bring his ambition into fruition .  He was the first to defy death, and he shook the foundation of the world by causing all kinds of disasters .  He caused countless deaths .

<In the end, he was defeated at the hands of Atein, Almarick and Reygus . >

“So they were once heroes, who saved the world . ”

<That isn’t the entire story, but it is part of it . >

However, even Atein was unable to kill Belrun .  Belrun had transcended death, and it was more apt to say that he was a god-like figure .

<Atein put Belrun in a sleep that he couldn’t wake up from .  Then Atein sealed him .  The method he used to bring about this result was the Great Darkness . >

Belrun wasn’t the only one trapped within the Great Darkness .  He wasn’t the first nor would he be the last .

There were beings that the world couldn’t handle .  These transcendent beings threatened the balance of the world through their madness .  Atein methodically defeated these beings, and he had sealed them within the Great Darkness .

It was odd .  These were beings that transcended the mysteries of the world .  They had become immortals, and every single one of them had gone mad .

They couldn’t accept the world that was in front of them, so they tried to change the world into their image .  Every time such an event occurred, Atein and his comrades fought to defend the world .

<…moreover, the power of the sealed beings became the basis for creating the Great Darkness .  This is my guess, but Atein probably hadn’t expected such a result to occur .  Atein had realized that it was impossible to indefinitely seal the power of these near immortal beings . This was why he further developed the Great Darkness . >

These were beings that could not perish .  How could one seal beings that continuously regenerated?

It was impossible .



Atein put them to sleep, and he created a method where their power was being continuously consumed .

Atein used the power generated by these beings as pillar to a feedback structure that encompassed the world .  It was a system that continuously sealed them using their own power, and it continuously inflicted loss on their power .

The Great Darkness possessed immense possibility, and when the power of these beings mixed with the Great Darkness, the Great Darkness started to change .

<The Great Darkness was something that transcended magic .  Atein had created it, but it had become part of the world .  This caused a huge wound to be formed on this world . >

“So they were able to use the power of Belrun to revive themselves?”

<It is part of the reason .  The power to make the Undead allowed him to make the special Undead .  However, that power couldn’t wholly bring someone back to life .  Reygus was a result that was achieved using Belrun’s power . >

“Hmm .  It seems we’ve strayed off topic . … What about the part where he was trying to make me a Dragon General?”

<I need to tell you this story .  If not, you won’t be able to understand the conclusion .  Atein targeted you with the curse, because he wanted to make you part of the Great Darkness . >

“Mmm?”

<It means you would have been a subordinate to the Great Darkness like Almarick and Reygus . >


“That…… . ”

Azell stopped breathing for a moment .

If he had died by Atein’s curse, would he have been reborn in this era like Almarick?

<Yes, you would have become the new Dragon Demon general .  You would have had to obey Atein . >

“…… . ”

Azell became chilled with fright .  He never expected such a plot from Atein .

His attempt failed .  I was barely able to find out the true nature of the curse, and I was able to eliminate it . >

“By this time, you’ve been asleep for well over 100 years… . . . ”

Azell felt an ominous feeling as he queried Carlos .

“Were you in this state?  Or were you still your former self?”

<No . >

“So how were you able to accomplish it?”

Carlos couldn’t exit this place .  It had been the same at the time .

The Guardian Shadows were created at a later date .  Basically, he didn’t have any subordinates that could have helped him take care of his business .  That was what Azell surmised .

<As expected, you are quite sharp .  I… . . >

Carlos spoke with a bitterness in his voice .

<I became part of the Great Darkness . >

While Azell and Carlos were conversing, the other party members were walking down a tunnel created within the mountain peak of Laus .  They felt a chill .  Kairen spoke using the Whispering technique .

-It is creepy here .  Is everyone an Undead here?

There were countless stone cases, clothes and armor filled with darkness lining the tunnel .  It seemed they were all vessels containing an Undead .

Yuren spoke .

-I guess so .  They are all very powerful Undead .  They feel similar to the Guardian Shadows…… . .

They felt similar to the ‘Sleepless Guardians’, who had accompanied the Keepers of the Prophecy .  They felt distinct from the normal Undead, and they seemed to possess more power .

Kairen posed a question .

-Why won’t they mobilize them onto the field?  With this amount of troops, the ongoing fight would be resolved much easier……

The Sleepless Guardians were powerful beings .  However, they had possessed a limitation .  They had been tied to the Keepers of Prophecy .  However, if there were more beings like them, they would be able to further restrict the activities of the Dragon Demon king worshippers .

‘It is an unsatisfying situation . ’

The party reached their destination .  There was a space along the tunnel that had been widened, and the items for the party had be readied there .

The Undead spoke .

<Please look on top of the stone altar engraved with your name . >

It was as he said .  The space contained wide stone pillars that had the name of Kairen, Laura, Leticia and Yuren engraved on it .  On top of these altars, there were items that were infused with powerful magic .

“It seems they really prepared items that are tailored to each of us . ”

Kairen expressed his amazement .  There was a sword that looked similar to his Dragon Sword, and there was a set of armor that looked similar to the one he wore in the past .  These items didn’t contain any Dragon Demon magic, but one could tell that they were powerful magical weapons .  Leticia received a new spear and armor .  Laura received a magic tome that contained Carlos’ knowledge, and a coat that was infused with magic .  They also received accessories that were complementary to the gears they received .

“Why do I only get this?”

Yuren sounded as if he was about to cry .  It was to be expected… . .

“You only received that?”

Kairen was taken aback .

Yuren was given an iron box that was the size of his fist .  Yuren furrowed his brows .

“Wow .  Since he is my ancestor, my hopes were high .  How can this be?”

“It seems you just look like him .  You might not be his descendant… . ”

“That’s not possible .  You heard what Azell and Almarick said, right?”

Yuren grumbled as he looked over the box .  It didn’t look special, but a change occurred when he inserted his magical energy into the box .

-To my descendant Yuren Rizester .

When he inserted his magical energy, he heard the voice of Carlos within his head .

-This is the Box of Hope .

‘Box of Hope?’

-If you open this box, you will be greeted by an irrevocable destruction .

The name and the description didn’t match up .

-I promise you this .  In return, you will be able to overcome any danger using this .

‘It is used for suicide bombing . ’

Yuren grumbled .  Basically, he would have to sacrifice his life to obtain enormous power .

However, the explanation hadn’t ended yet .

-Then you will find out the truth .

‘Truth?’

-This is a truth you must know . The miracle is the price for this truth .  The choice is up to you, my descendant .

Carlos’ explanation ended there .  However, Yuren dumbfoundedly stared at the box for a long time .

‘Truth? What truth is he talking about? Is he perhaps talking about the identity of the Guide?’

He had a lot of guesses, but he was leery at the fact that he couldn’t pinpoint what Carlos was talking about .  Yuren furrowed his brows .
