453 449. "Dragon extermination".txt (2/2)

I'm not going to be the only one who has been able to get rid of it.

If the story is just about eliminating the 'villain', the 'hero' has tasted it many times.

Because all the battles are already over, the 'hero' does not choose the sword to slay the dragon.

The magic that was entrusted to him by his loved ones was in his hands.

With that magic that makes everyone happy, he will break the 'curse' of that sad, evil dragon--

Seldora, who was unable to move, listened to my recitation.

I'm not ready to give up, and she seems to believe that there is a clue to the attack on ”The One Who Stole the Reason of the Dimension” in the story.

It's because we are fighting against the 'truth stealer' that we are looking for a breakthrough through conversation.

'This is ......, has The Dimension penetrated all over the world? ....... So it will be as you read the book ......?　You mean all the information in The Future Vision is in there?

That's not true. The magic of futurism only allows you to see a myriad of branching possibilities. Even if it could, it's only capable of bringing about a slightly better future.

'So ......!　Out of its myriad futures, you choose the one you want, and space it just the way you want it!　I guess you can control this dimension!　That's the magic power of your Dimension Graduate 'Realize'!

'My failure magic isn't that good. It's unfinished, so it's always up to me to do my best to get my ideal future in hand. ...... It's not so different from living a normal life.

'No!　Now you're 'acting' and 'writing' and lying!　The look on your face!　You've already got a face that thinks you can do anything you want depending on how hard you try!

The same thing as the former 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Light' Nosfi, 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Nothingness' Serdra said. Come to think of it, I think the id also said something close.

Apparently it's easy to get that feeling when fighting me.

As for me, I don't have any sense of omnipotence, that I can do anything I want.

I can see a lot of futures, but they are all ”fun (...)” stories.

I'm 'writing' a little bit of that, hoping that I can choose a better future and somehow get it right: .......

'Sure, maybe Seldra and the others are right: ....... I simply have the 'magic' that allows me to make everything the way I want it to be anymore: ......

So far, that brush has never been stalled.

The ”present” has never come to me, except as written in this book.

I finally admit it when I'm pushed back.

I thought I could do it that way, and it never fails to work out that way.

Nowadays, ”as hard as you can” and ”as far as you can” and ”as far as you can reach” of ”the one who steals the reason for the dimension” (・・・・・)

--and that's the heart of it.

That's why it's remarkable that it can't be reached only by 'Rustyala'.

I continue to be assaulted by a sense of inevitable helplessness.

You can reach everywhere, but you won't have the strength to stand up.

I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it. I want to do everything ......, as I want it all. In fact, I want to do .......

............!

The moment he spilled his true intentions, Serdra's expression changed.

She struggled out to tear off ”Purple Thread”, ”Invisible Iceroom”, and ”Midwinter in the Overcrowded Dimension (Di Overwinter)”.

'--It's okay (...), Serdra. Indeed, I could feel your seriousness. So, I'll use magic for real too. The magic that was created by everyone working together is not foul. It's not a shortcut. It's not a bad thing either. The ”Reading Shift” is the magic that will save those who ”steal the truth”. It's the magic that will end all painful and painful 'trials'. ......!

The preliminaries of the magic power have already been dispersed.

If I'm in the deep sea surrounded by the Purple Mirror, I can not only perfectly handle the past and future vision screenings, I can reach a higher dimension than ever before. With that confidence, I say the name of the magic.

It's called ”Reading Shift”.

Distorted.

The deep sea with me and Serdra, space, dimensions.

Transformed into something else.

I roll up the pages of the book. I move from the page labeled ”Bottom of the Deep Sea in the Original World, Year 3032 A.D.” to the page labeled ”Between the Mountains in the Other World, Year 22 A.D.

--The scene of the story has changed.

Before we knew it, we were able to breathe air.

Our lungs are filled with oxygen and a freshness rushes down our throats.

We are free from the murderous water pressure of the deep sea.

My feet are on the hard ground and I no longer feel floating.

The pile of water in front of my eyeballs disappears and my vision of rawness expands.

--I was standing atop a high hill.

A pale mountain range, crowned with black clouds, rose in a circle around us.

The air was cold and the oxygen was thin.

From the rocky valleys and the grass and flowers underfoot, one could infer that it was at a considerable altitude.

The dark clouds in the sky were so close that they could almost be touched if you reached out to them.

And mixed in with the huge dark clouds, there were shadows that seemed to be birds - no, there were many dragons flying around.

Obviously, they were different in size from the birds.

What covered their bodies were not feathers, but hard-looking scales.

Most importantly, their flight speed and magical power concentration were different.

A flock of dragons flying through the dark clouds on a spiritual mountain full of nature.

The time was a thousand years ago.

It was before the arrival of me and Yotaki's ”Gentiles”.

In ”The First Page” of Seldora's story.

A thousand years later, Seldora and I were standing, facing each other.

'............?!'

Surrounded by the magic 《Reading Shift》, Serdra's eyes widened.

No wonder he was stunned.

This is Seldora's 'first page', but at the same time, it is also the 'last page'.

””--this is where Seldra's life began.

A thousand years ago, this was a hidden village on the frontier of 'North'.

The 'Chiryuu no Sato', where the special 'Demon People', the Dragon People (Dragon Newt), lived, was a small village hiding at the base of a peak-high spiritual mountain, and a thick 'Demon Poison' wind was blowing around it--

I read on, bathed in the thick 'demonic poison' of the hilltop.

Naturally, Serdra shakes her head.

''Nichi, 'The Village of the Chiryu' ......?　No, we were in an 'alternate universe' a while ago: ......!　My hometown is long gone, long gone, and there are only memories left of it--

I looked from the top of the hill to the valley floor.

I could see the black stone roofs of the valley floor.

They were a bit large for human habitation and were built with an emphasis on sturdiness.

While Serdra was speaking, he continued.

”'--The race of Dragon Men (Dragon Newt) are the chosen creatures.

The reason why they are recognized as such by both themselves and others is because of the overwhelming strength they were born with.

And in ”Chiryuu no Sato”, the ”birthright difference” is carefully selected.

They will test the strength of the newborn children and give them a role and a name appropriate to their innate strength. They even choose the king of their own clan in their rituals. Nevertheless, it is not a rare custom to install the one who is born strong as the chief.

However, this ceremony in the Village of the Ji Long was clearly different from the others.

They had succeeded in 'trading' even though it was an era where there was no 'magic' or 'spellcraft'.

The 'Ancient Ritual' that had been going on for another thousand years before, had cursed the Dragon People (Dragon Newt) from birth, without any excess -

It was only a moment before they reached the village at the bottom of the valley.

The scene changed again and we moved to the center of the village.

Me and Serdra were still facing each other in the square, where there were no villagers to walk around.

Next, I turned my gaze to the largest house in the village.

A house that is even larger, jet-black, and more majestic than the heavy black stone houses that stand in the middle of the village.

Caught by me, Serdra looked at it too and moaned.

'Ah, ah, ......, this place is ......!

”--The children will be raised by the entire clan until they undergo the ritual.

The child's name would also be uniformly aligned with 'One Young Dragon of the Village (Cell Dragon)' as one of the members of the village. This was also a common custom in such a hidden village.

And because of this common custom, two more chosen ones were chosen this year among the chosen species, the Dragon Newt.

It was the blue-haired dragonborn (Dragon Newt) girl. The one who got the name ”King Dragon (Lord)” was a woman.

Even in the long history of Chiryuu no Sato, this was the first time there was a ”Queen”.

In addition, there was another person.

It was a boy, a black-haired dragonborn (Dragon Newt). The child was born stronger, smarter, tougher, greedier, and more vicious than anyone else.

At the age of three years, he murdered the adults in his care and tried to eat other children because of their hunger. On top of that, he was given the title of 'Fafner' for his constant sneering without any ill will.

In the Age of Clouds, he is a black, dark and evil dragonborn (Dragon Newt).

The birth of this too sinister name was celebrated with great pomp and circumstance by the people of the village.

If it were any other village, the child would have been punished or quarantined.

However, the adults in Chiryuu no Sato begin to raise the child with great care and respect...

A loud and boisterous cheer was heard from inside the majestic mansion.

The 'dragon's roar' caused a vibration that even penetrated the stone walls.

Just because the ceremony was over doesn't mean that this would happen. This is because the existence of the black-haired boy, even more than the ”King's Dragon (Lord)” as usual, was a long-cherished wish for the clan.

Serdra, who knew this better than anyone else, shuddered and I read on.

''My house ......, the house of 'Fillion' who has served the king of the clan for generations.'''

”--On this northern continent, there was a legend.

A long time ago, more than a thousand years ago.

Long ago, long ago, in a fairytale era, magic flew around and various races fought each other for the top spot in the world.

The fairy-tales always ended with the ”dragon race” being defeated and the ”winged race” being defeated. It was a common fairy tale that had been passed down from one place to another.

However, the ending of ”Ji Long's Village” was slightly different. Its content was richer and more accurate.

Through oral tradition, the name of the individual who had become the 'Lord of the World' had been preserved.

The abominable name that was daring to even say it was 'Noi El Lieberrul'.

She is the sworn enemy of the 'Dragon Race' and the world's grudge enemy who enveloped this world in a dark cloud--

That's as far as I've read, and then I look at Seldra next to me.

Seldra wasn't looking at me, she was looking at the center of the square.

The time in the village had moved on significantly, and a dark-haired dragonborn (Dragon Newt) was wrestling with a group of adults.

Although he was young, his body was comparable to that of an adult. His growth rate was extraordinary, and he was ahead of the other children. Furthermore, not only his body, but also his strength and skill were tremendous, overwhelming multiple opponents and letting out a vulgar laugh.

”'-- All along, the 'dragon race' has been looking for it.

Someday, someone who is powerful enough to reach and destroy that 'Lord of the World'.

Someone who is not only strong, but also has the heart to kill an entire world of enemies without hesitation.

The one who has the innate difference to feel joy instead of loneliness, even if he or she has devoured all the races of this world and become the last one.

I've been waiting for this for a long time.

And finally, after more than a thousand years, he has been born in this year in this village.

The more adults who had learned the oral tradition well, the more they rejoiced.

Among them, the more respectful the blood and history of their clan, the more they let out a loud 'dragon's roar' -

The boy was an 'evil dragon' (Fafner) who was more evil than anyone else.

He takes pleasure in knocking others down, sipping blood, and above all, he loves to kill.

The people around them celebrated the ”Fafner” who lightly overwhelmed the adults.

They praised him, praised him, and rejoiced.

So even the boy was happy as a child and smiled.

He was proud of his own viciousness, saying that he was the chosen dragonborn (Dragon Newt).

”--”--The boy is given the name Fafner Fillion and is raised by the adults as an 'evil dragon' (Fafner) that eats the world.

-- immediately followed by a ritual to create all kinds of resistance.

It is too easy to starve, freeze and roast them with fire.

They poisoned them, crushed their bones, tore into their flesh, pierced their organs, and made them swim in the burning heat.

--They performed a ritual to know all manner of wickedness.

Let them experience the wickedness of the world, and then let them take advantage of it.

He made them cover all that was forbidden to man, including cannibalism.

--The rituals of knowing all the wickedness were performed.

We were taught that the Lord of the World is the Evil God who made the sky dark with clouds.

You're not going to be able to find a way to make a living out of it.

--The rituals of distorting the soul were carried out one after another.

Even if the world is destroyed, laugh.

Whoever it takes to enjoy it.

Go to the deepest part of the soul's cesspool, if only to eat alone.

The adults followed the ancient tradition.

Even if the boy hates them, hates them, and wants to kill them, they continue to teach him.

They hated the world, resented him, and wanted him to complete his mission with the intent to kill.

In this way, the soul of the evil dragon was refined for the pride of the thousands of years of the ”dragon race”. In the end, the boy became bigger than anyone else and stronger than all living things.

Every day, he flew higher than anyone else in the sky.

In the midst of the dark clouds filled with ”demonic poison”, he seemed to be enjoying life with a good feeling.

--he was born in 'heaven', the boy thought.

He looked down at the earth from the sky and observed the activities of life dwarfing his own.

He couldn't stop smiling high from the depths of his belly in amusement.

-- Seeing this, everyone in the village thought that The Evil Dragon (Fafner) was complete.

But that was not accurate.

In trying to protect the lore, no one could notice.

The boy's 'innate differences' alone made him warped to the point that he didn't need the ritual in the first place. That the 'curse' conferred by the rituals had begun to be altered by repeating the obvious education to the 'evil dragon (Fafner)' that had been perfected from the beginning--

With his feet on the square of the village, Serdra continued to follow the black shadow swimming in the dark clouds with his eyes.

It was completely taken in by the magic 《Reading Shift》 and was unable to move.

He was scrambling with so much determination, and his battle spirit was deflated.

If Seldora was a 'strong person', he could easily say, ”So, what's the matter? And he could have shaken it off. But he is 'the stealer of nothingness'. He is vulnerable to nostalgia and sentimentality, and once touched, he instinctively continues to chase after it.

The Stealers of Reason have always been walking towards the original landscape deep in their souls. Searching. Waiting. So it's over.

I confirm it.

'Is that Seldra ......?'

'Oh, oh ....... I'm laughing at the thought of being the 'most powerful' in this f*cking small laboratory. Here I am when everything in my life was still fun .......

Serdra looked at the sky and squinted her eyes, which had never dazzled her as a child.
