Sword Pilgrim - C.278

Episode 278

The faded sky.

A world turned gray.

Today, in a world where the whole world has turned gray, the life that lives and breathes below has faded. The man walking slowly through the lightless world he had castrated looked around as if he were savoring the sights around him.

He is the king of the lost world.

The cloak that Colius had draped over the collapsed ruins.

Unlike the cloak that skimmed the footsteps of the stroller, his gaze looked up to the sky.

The faded sky is in its infancy.

The source that is shaking as if an egg is about to break is a pillar of light soaring in the distance.

Divinities of various gods gathered and were knocking on the sky.

But is it still not enough?

The faded sky was imperfectly swaying and turbulent, but still tightly closed.

“Are you saying you still need more?”

Is it a deity that is gluttonous?

Or is it the faded sky that wants God?

[Sheath of swords.]

Just in time, Isabelle’s voice was heard.

thud!

Looking at the boy who was tied up with a thread and fell, it was probably him.

“Radon in the mace.”

It was radon on the mace.

I couldn’t see Kunta’s figure, but I didn’t panic. I commanded God to take hold of me.

No matter how much he runs away, Radon is the god of mace.

The fact that they were not easily caught, of course, made them consume a lot of energy.

Kunta has already returned to ashes.

It will take quite a while until resummoning.

But it didn’t matter.

[Damn it. I can’t believe they are gods, but they stick to him!] He

has a youthful appearance on the outside, but his words are unstoppable.

However, Isabelle stood in front of Colliers as if she was not interested.

Even the blush blushed as if he was expecting it.

[promise. Watch.]

“I do.”

Callius grabbed Isabel by the shoulder.

Then, ash slowly spread from his grasp and covered Isabelle’s body.

slip.

Isabelle’s toes all turned to ashes, and her existence disappeared in an instant.

[It’s all crazy. Crazy!!]

“Did he run away because he wasn’t crazy?”

[I’m going to die anyway, so why don’t you just run away for a bit. What’s wrong with taking a moment to look back on my life?]

With Isabelle gone, the threads that bound radon lost their will and loosened.

But radon did not escape.

Although he could have run away, he did not.

Callius rather asked him in an attitude that seemed to be quietly waiting for treatment.

“Why don’t you run away?”

[Because it’s meaningless now.]

When I looked at him as if asking me to say more, Radon threw his mace away nervously.

Kwajik!

[All that remains is the sword. The spear that blocks the sword is dead, so it’s over now. The sword will kill us all and disappear into a new sky. There is no hope in this world, and we will meet our end together with this place. But what if I ran away more? It is better to die than to suffer a terrible death.]

Callius nodded his head, feeling the pillar of light he was looking at and the faint divinity in the half-destroyed building.

But nothing more was said.

just slow

I only took one step towards the place where the pillar of light was shooting.

[Are you not taking my divinity?]

“I told them to bring you, but that’s not to take your divinity.”

[What?]

Radon felt the greatest humiliation at Colius’ brusque attitude.

[Are you saying that it’s not worth taking the coward’s divinity!!]

Then, the scabbard in Colius’ hand suddenly became blurry.

Puck!

[evil! What is it!]

Radon did not understand for a moment.

However, he soon realized and burst into anger.

[Did you dare to hit me in the head just now?! With that clumsy scabbard!?]

“He slapped me for saying something less clumsy than this scabbard. The reason I asked to bring you was because I just wanted to see your face. Divinity beyond this has no great meaning to me. You would know.”

Radon stroked my hair and bit his lip. It looked like an adolescent boy being scolded, so Callius smiled for a moment.

[Why are you laughing?]

Callius laughed even more when he growled.

He didn’t even cover his mouth with his hand.

[This guy!!]

“No, just. It reminds me of the old days.”

The sudden flash of memory made Colius laugh.

– How about tweaking the radon a bit to make it look like an adolescent boy?

– Why?

– My cousin is in puberty, and he has a troublesome personality, but he is also cute.

Memories that can only be remembered now.

But that’s why it was so affectionate and missed.

“Follow me. Rather than silently accepting death, I should struggle at least.”

[Wasn’t that what you were thinking?]

“There is, but I don’t know what will happen.”

[I’m not desperate.]

“Because it’s self-employed.”

It wasn’t his own intention that the gods made this decision.

To be honest, “The Pilgrim’s Road” left Colius’ hands right away.

However, there is still a sense of debt.

It is because they have the awareness that the world is born from their fingertips.

[What are you talking about?]

“You don’t have to know. kid.”

[Who said I was a kid! I’ve lived a few thousand years longer than you!!]

I ignored the radon that shouted loudly.

and went forward

Every step I take to where he is is heavy.

faded sky.

However, only this place still retains its own color.

It was also said that he was outside the influence of the sanctuary that Colius had spread.

But I wasn’t afraid.

It was also a dead-end road at the end.

If you turn away, you can turn away.

But if that happens, the sky will fall.

the world will perish

I couldn’t let it go.

Callius stepped out.

The landscape changed rapidly.

It soon became blurry, churned up like a ball of spider web, and then stopped.

All you can see are all kinds of machinery.

A place like a research lab that was so complex that even Colius’ head couldn’t follow it.

A huge door at its center and a being sitting on the floor with his head bowed in front of the door.

A man with silver hair hanging down and a straight sword without a scabbard.

A woman called the God of Swords.

“Sword God Balterus.”

Then she opened her eyes and looked at Callius.

Her silver eyes, which seemed to see through everything, were transparent.

It is so transparent that it is heterogeneous.

– Waited.

“Did you wait for me?”

– What should I say first when I meet you? I was always worried. But somehow I ended up saying that I waited.

Balterus spoke as if he had been waiting for him for a very long time.

Callius’ eyes narrowed.

– Was radon still alive?

[Fate hasn’t abandoned me yet.]

As he smirked, Balterus asked back.

-Radon You’ve been a god for quite a long time, haven’t you felt something strange?

[That’s a nonsense. What are you talking about?]

At the sudden question, Radon did not understand the question itself.

But Colius seemed to know what Balterus meant. free𝑤ebnovel.com

-About why our world has a god of innocence but no god of nature. Have you ever thought about it?

There is no god who formed the earth and cultivated the sea.

Balterus was puzzled by that. The beginning would have started with that.

Originally, the first thing humans worship as a god is Mother Nature itself.

Nevertheless, the only thing that existed above the gods were the weapons.

[…You’re asking something very strange. It doesn’t exist, so why should

I think about it?] -I couldn’t help but question it. Our world was moving as if someone had made it from the beginning.

“…”

-Then, where did the water come from, where did the earth come from, and what is the sky like?

[That’s it… It must have come about on its own.]

Balterus shook his head.

He stood up and answered.

-I am also like you. The work of nature was simply dismissed as something created by nature. However, as time passed, the goal of the doubt gradually deepened as the years passed.

[You’re insane.]

-Radon Can you tell him about the responsibility that God has to bear?

[Why do you do that to me…]

Radon swallowed.

Balterus’s condition was strange.

It seemed that I was not sane.

In my mind, I wanted to hit the head with a mace right away, but before I could do that, I felt like I was going to have my own throat cut off.

[We were confined in a narrow cave. I couldn’t stand on the ground because I became a god, and I had no choice but to look at the ground from what I thought was somewhere in the sky.]

It was the fate of those who became gods.

In a place called the New Realm, the gods were suppressed in their freedom and shouldered with duties.

But who made the caves called the divine realm and why do they exist?

Why do they have to be locked up here and shoulder the duty they don’t know who gave them.

the gods don’t know

-I didn’t know. But I had to know. A trace of someone’s intentions.

It is impossible not to know if you do not know the traces of his hand that determined the direction of God.

The mounting doubts and the footsteps of someone who stood above the gods kept lingering in Balterus’s mind.

He pondered persistently and constantly cried out for its existence.

Then one day.

-I obtained the knowledge of the goblins.

They achieved a high level of technology impossible even by common sense.

Even the gods were amazed at the knowledge they created by deriving incomprehensible theories and calculations.

But the gods called it disrespectful and destroyed them, calling it disrespectful.

cursed

Not a single god hesitated.

Normally, I would fight, quarrel, deny, and turn away. As if it was made for granted.

He tried to exterminate them without raising even a single doubt about the goblins’ actions.

– messed with their knowledge. And I got an amazing fact.

Balterus, speaking clearly while looking at Colius, smiled faintly.

-That their knowledge was not something they had worked for, that they had brought from somewhere.

I was lucky.

After digging through the goblin’s head, I got a piece of undeleted data.

Just by looking at the fragment, Balterus realized that his world had been created for the first time.

-I didn’t believe it for a long time even after realizing it. I was grateful for your existence, but at the same time I couldn’t help but despair.

Watching Balterus use honorifics while staring at only Colius, Radon felt a perfectly understandable confusion.

her attitude is

Because it was like someone who saw God.

– But I soon changed my mind. I wanted to meet God. A god who created a real world, not a fake one like ours. I have been looking for a way for a long time, and I finally found it and faced God. No, I met someone I thought was God.

“…no way.”

-It was a time when I was still immature and unable to calm down the confusion. It’s embarrassing.

“Did you kill her?”

– I asked her several things. At first, they thought it was some kind of bug that someone sent me as a joke. Thanks to you, I was able to find out a lot. It was fortunate for me that I met her for the first time.

“Why did you kill him?”

Seruk.

The expression in her eyes changed in an instant. The silver pupils contracted and expanded repeatedly.

– It was accidental. At that time, I was still immature about the truth of the world…

“I asked why you killed him.”

Dragging! The corner of Balterus’s mouth slowly went up as he saw Colius, who was spewing out an enormous killing force for a moment.

-After learning about my true identity, he was delighted as if it were my job. He said that although it was a product of a bug, it could still be like this, and he took care of me like his own child and said that it was okay to call himself a mother.

But soon, Balterus’s smile went cold.

– A girl who doesn’t even know the subject.
