Chapter 380 - The Attack 1 (1/2)
The work in the plateau was done, however, Luke and Zegal Moon couldn’t just head back to Angyong.
They said that they couldn’t just send back the men like that, and offered a tribute after a small celebration.
“Cheers to the Blue-eyed master!”
“Cheers to the Master! Cheers to Grace!”
Luke was made seated at the top, and at the side was Zegal Moon, with people coming in and offering food and alcohol in incomprehensible words.
“What are they saying?”
“It looks like the people were surprised with the miracle the grace of a god has done. They are calling you a Blue-eyed master, and are asking for your blessings on them.”
“Wha…”
Luke thought of it to be outrageous.
No matter how many people he had helped in the dire circumstance, to call a dark magic wielder as a God was a bit too weird.
“I can’t bear to get called as a God, nor am I great enough to be referred like that. There is someone else who needs to be treated like God.”
It was all thanks to Reina, who possessed the power of the Ancient Aether and Erwin, a genius who made the Green Crystal.
Without them, Luke would have been unable to achieve anything.
“You don’t need to feel too burdened. You may regard the God as someone absolute in the North, but not in here.”
“I too heard about that. The religion where humans can become as Gods after achieving enlightenment?” Asked Luke.
“You must be talking about Arahan? In the Southern part, it is referred to as Sejong denomination, and it is very popular. And those who believe in it, rather than wishing for enlightenment, wish to save the world by gaining the blessing of the God.” Said Zegal Moon.
‘Huh, humans live the same way irrespective of the place.’
Luke had no intention of speaking ill about the men who wanted to be favored by God.
It was because he had found God a long time back.
Luke had prayed to be made one with Katarina, his beloved lover, and prayed to not send her away, the only light in his gloomy life.
However, his faith was unfulfilled.
Because she had killed herself after being ravaged by the Baroque.
Luke, turned his back on the indifferent God and touched the power of darkness, seeking revenge.
‘But the God of Destiny didn’t allow me to take my revenge.’
At first, he seemed to be going well, but then fell at the hands of Rakan, who turned out to be the key enemy, and he couldn’t fulfill what he wanted.
But it didn’t end there.
Oddly enough, his soul got reincarnated into the body of Rakan’s descendant.
Of course, the reincarnation wasn’t that bad.
He got the chance to do things again, he met Reina, Katarina’s reincarnation.
Luke’s thoughts which were filled with old thoughts came back to reality.
“In fact, I am not much different. Even though I am a man of hope, I was stupid enough to pray to the famous temples after the Iron Core got taken down.”
“I was afraid that the God’s power wasn’t strong enough. Until I came here, I thought that the forest couldn’t be saved.” Said Luke.
“I too thought so at first, but… Looking back at it now, that doesn’t seem like the case. Because I received a prophecy.”
“A prophecy?”
Luke felt his curiosity at the word and asked immediately.
“Yes, it wasn’t like a direct prophecy from the God, but I heard it from a high priest who had just returned back from the North. ‘You will be blessed if you give help to the unwelcomed guest’.”
“Isn’t it common for those who say to have received the prophecy to talk so vaguely or act virtuously?”
In fact, there were several denominations in the Rhodesia continent which promoted themselves by saying that they received the prophecy from the God.
“Even then, Saint Nanda cannot be ignored. He had realized the physical pain which can be called as the God’s power.”
“Saint Nanda…”
What kind of a man was he to realize the God’s Power?
Seeing that Zegal Moon admired the man, Luke could assume him to be a nice person.
“He is currently staying at the temple. Please go and meet him. The enlightenment is nice and you will never regret meeting him.”
