I was reincarnated as an all-time talented genius of a famous family Episode 71
36. Sacred Core (3)
“Whoa.”
I wiped away my sweat as I looked at the corpse of Saint Aimar, or rather, the undead, who had collapsed vertically from chest to head.
To be honest, I had a bit of trouble.
Who would have thought that he would use swordsmanship, Karnas, and even assassination techniques.
I thought the Flame of Karnas, or rather Ignis, would be enough for swordsmanship, but I didn’t expect that he would struggle so much in the end.
“I’ll have to be careful from now on.”
When Revenant is cornered, it causes a huge explosion.
I need to keep it firmly in my head.
If it weren’t for ‘Shadow Stealth’, which my mother taught me and which I first used in practice, I probably would have been seriously injured.
“What are you doing?”
At that time, Karnas stuck his head out.
“are you okay?”
“Kikreuk!”
Karnas was surprisingly fine.
Every time the Morning Star and the sword collided, a shock must have been felt.
However, it wasn’t easy to take it out and fight, so I kept it in my arms for now, and it didn’t even look like it was hurt or shocked.
“ah.”
I realized why.
“Kikreuk!” “Good luck!”
Karnas shook his neck proudly.
There were scales growing on his neck.
When I touched it, the scales were incredibly hard.
“You were a dragon… … .”
“Kikreuk!”
This absorbed the shock.
It’ll be okay for a while, right?
Anyway, whatever.
won
“Dane! Dane!”
The cry heard at that time.
It was Leila.
After a month, Leila came running, grabbed me, and looked at every part of my body.
“are you okay? “It’s okay, right?”
“huh. are you okay. Are you okay?”
“I-I’m fine! I thought you were dead! “I thought it was gone!”
Leila then lowered her head, clenched her fists, and trembled her arms.
You seem really worried.
“I’m really fine. So cry… … .”
“If you die, I’ll never be able to defeat you!”
“… … .”
This guy is full of winning spirit.
It was a time when I was dumbfounded.
“Dane! “Priscilla is unconscious!”
ah.
I ran quickly with Leila.
Priscilla collapsed and did not move.
“I’m breathing… … While protecting us earlier… … .”
While Ernest was crying, I checked Priscilla’s condition. Take a breath. But it looks dangerous.
Now, a sense of energy developed through ancient magic informed Priscilla that the divine power flowing throughout her body was being disturbed.
“Right now… … .”
Exploration is halted for now.
We have to save people first.
That was when I was about to lift Priscilla.
“The child will wake up.”
Suddenly, a heavy voice came from behind me. The voice continued without me realizing who it was.
“Blessing, light. “Please look after that child.”
In an instant, light burst out and the view of the dark hall became wide open.
Ugh!
A powerful and large ball of light flies here –
It went straight into Priscilla’s body.
“He will be fine now.”
Priscilla’s complexion visibly calmed down, and a soft breathing sound was heard. She looked as if she had fallen asleep.
I turn my head and see the owner of the voice.
therefore… … .
“You, the boy, set me free.”
I looked at Saint Aimar, who was standing as if he were alive, not as an undead person.

“boy. “I express my infinite gratitude to you.”
The image floating over the body I just threw away in two pieces looked similar… … .
I couldn’t stand it.
“Saint Aimar.”
“boy. I have received a great favor from you that is difficult to repay… … .”
“Perhaps a soul? Or resurrection?”
“… … .”
I’m the type of person who can’t stand being curious.
* * *
Very ‘fortunately’, Saint Aimar did not come back to life.
The divine power that had been altered after death returned, and thanks to this, he appeared before us in the form of a spirit body.
“Thanks to you, boy. “If it weren’t for you, I would have had no choice but to live as an undead forever.”
The spiritual body of Saint Aimar felt very sacred.
It was floating in the air, engulfed in light, and it was so dazzling that if it were placed in a ballroom, there would be no need for a chandelier at all.
The energy of necromancy had already dissipated, and the quiet hall seemed to have regained its former appearance.
Of course, thanks to the wreckage that had been destroyed during the battle, an ironic scene was unfolding that was bright but messy.
“It wasn’t a big deal.”
“Is that possible?”
Saint Aimar shook his head.
“I lived as a combat priest and participated in numerous battles. But I’ve never seen a warrior of your caliber at your age. The same goes for that talent.”
With something like that.
“Even a dragon… … “I thought it was a legendary creature.”
“Kikreuk!”
I think this is kind of amazing.
It was almost like we won thanks to Karnas.
Even if we had used other things, we would have won, but if it wasn’t for the Flame of Karnas, it would have taken a very long time to find a solution.
“Boy, I haven’t even asked your name yet.”
I said I would let you know when I become undead.
“Dane Sogress. “He is the eldest son of Aken Sogres and the youngest son of the Count Sogres.”
“Sogress, ah.”
Saint Aimar had a smile on his face.
“In my memory 300 years ago, they were a fairly well-known family in the South, but it seems that things have changed now.”
“The largest family in the South. “Maybe it’s the second largest family in the empire.”
It sounds very good.
I heard the sound of Layla behind me raising her nose.
“Hehehe… … .”
Now, Saint Aimar must be feeling that times have come to an end.
“Great things happened while I was neither dead nor alive.”
At that time, Ernest came forward.
“Let me explain the major events that have occurred over the past 300 years… … .”
“Oh, who are you?”
“Ernest Dillon. “He is the eldest son of the Dillon family.”
“It’s Dylan… … “I’m sorry, but I haven’t heard of it.”
Ernest became sullen, but soon seemed eager to make the Dillon family known in some way, and began a history lecture.
Although it only lasted a few minutes, Saint Aimar was very happy.
“Hoo. War with the Drenik Empire?”
“It lasted as long as 50 years.”
“So, who won?”
“It ended in a truce with no winners.”
“It’s a shame. “It should have collapsed by now.”
There is no subject, but of course this is the Alteon Empire, right?
“You should remember that the Dillon family has a very extensive knowledge of history. “I don’t know who the head of the family is, but he raised his son very well.”
Ernest answered with a voice full of confidence.
“Extensive historical knowledge is knowledge, but I want to be remembered as an expert explorer.”
“Be sure to do so.”
Saint Aimar then pointed behind him.
“Ah, it looks like that priest friend is about to wake up.”
A rustling sound coming from behind.
Priscilla was waking up.
“Priscilla. are you okay?”
“Dane. I think I definitely did something, but I don’t remember… … Why does my body feel so refreshed? What is that light again… … oh my god!”
Priscilla woke up and immediately went berserk.
“Spiritual body! Holy crazy! I never thought I would be able to see a spirit in my lifetime! This is a huge, huge deal! I even wear the divine power of Saint Aimar! crazy! wow!”
Priscilla is still running around with her speaking habits that are unbecoming of a divinity student.
“Saint Aimar! It’s an honor to meet you! I am Priscilla Neriel, the abandoned child of the Neriel family… … Damn it, not this! “He is a child of God who lives in faithful and beautiful faith.”
“You’re a kid walking down the street.”
“Well, the person who saved my life was Saint Aimar… … “Is that correct?”
“Yes, that’s how it happened. “I’m sorry.”
“Are you sorry? Oh my goodness, I can’t believe I wear the holy power of Saint Aimar!”
Priscilla was at a loss.
Is it an idol or something?
Saint Aimar asked me gently.
“This guy has quite a bit of divinity.”
“Isn’t the empire’s future bright?”
“… … Personally, I wish it wasn’t that bright.”
Saint Aimar seemed to hate the empire so much.
“hmm. Let me guess. “Is that girl Termion’s daughter?”
“Huh, how did you know?”
The only one left, Leila, widened her eyes when her identity was revealed before she could be introduced.
“I know my Akzel Termion.”
“ah! “The 17th head of the family!”
“hmm. He was a good friend. “He helped me a lot.”
Leila was surprised, but still couldn’t erase her doubts.
“But what does that have to do with you recognizing me?”
“That’s because your sword pommel has the emblem of Termion.”
“ah.”
Leila lowered her head as if she was embarrassed.
Saint Aimar asked with a grin.
“How is Termion now?”
“This is the strongest family in the empire!”
“I knew it.”
good. This introduction is enough.
I got straight to the point.
“Saint Aimar. “I heard something bad happened to him.”
“okay. The emperor sent knights. They said it was treason. “They surrounded this hall and starved for three months. They said they would let us live if they came out, but how could that bastard emperor do that?”
This guy also has a big mouth.
Well, you can’t say good things about mentioning the person who killed you.
“When the food in the hall finally ran out, the people inside prepared for the final fight. For reference, we killed about 100 people. “Maybe he killed more?”
The scene where the spirit shrugs its shoulders proudly was truly rare.
“I blew it a bit when I was alive. Everyone said so. I’m glad I became a priest. “If I hadn’t done that, I would have been tearing apart people’s bones in the back alley.”
I think I’ve seen this way of speaking a lot somewhere.
Well, I know it’s strong.
Because I’ve encountered it myself.
I think it would have been fun to fight him in his full body.
“I’m very sorry.”
“If only it weren’t for the emperor. Yes, that guy was madness itself. Because he firmly believed that he would recreate his former glory.”
“Old glory?”
“okay. Old glory. “I died because of Emon V’s ambition.”
I tilted my head.
“Didn’t the imperial family become afraid because their power grew so much that they framed them for rebellion?”
“Is it written that way in the history books?”
Saint Aimar had a bitter expression.
“So this is a no-go zone. It is also a place that no one can access. “It is said that he attempted a rebellion and that is why he left this place as a teacher.”
“haha… … .”
I think there’s a reason for this that I don’t know about.
I asked him.
“Or is there some reason unknown to the world?”
Saint Aimar looked at me blankly and suddenly asked:
“It’s a no-entry zone. “Then why are you three here?”
“To find treasure.”
Saint Aimar’s eyebrows twitched at the word treasure.
“… … treasure?”
“I deciphered the treasure map and came here. “Here, to find the treasure in the underground tomb.”
“haha… … .”
Saint Aimar laughed for a moment.
What is the reason?
“It’s a treasure. okay. It comes to mind again. “I died for that treasure.”
What does this mean… … .
ah.
no way.
“Did the emperor kill you for the treasure?”
Saint Aimar nodded with a more bitter expression than before.
“okay. They were falsely accused of rebellion and all, but it was actually because of the treasure. “Treasure hidden here in the underground tomb of the hall.”
History is written by the winners.
Therefore, the history and records about Saint Aimar that we knew were not true.
There is a treasure.
However, Saint Aimar died because of the treasure.
“It’s a rebellion. As it is now, the empire was prosperous and powerful even then. There were many poor people, but rebellion could not even be dreamed of. “I just gathered the poor, took care of them, and gave them food to avoid hunger.”
Simply put, there is no reason to touch it.
Of course, it might be annoying. The lives of the poor were suffering, and in the midst of this, a priest, not an empire, was saving them.
However, it would not have been a threat to the huge system called the empire.
In the end, it means that there was another reason.
“It was all okay until the existence of the treasure was discovered. However, the existence of a treasure obtained by chance… … “I ended everything.”
“Have you ever thought about passing it on? If that were the case, I don’t think I would have seen any blood. “I don’t know exactly.”
“no. “The emperor wanted no one but himself to know of the existence of the treasure.”
What does this mean?
“They wanted to monopolize the treasure. “Let only you know.”
It’s not like I’m buying it for money, I’m not trying to scare them away, I’m just trying to make myself aware of the existence of this treasure… … Killed them all?
“Dozens of people, including the poor people of the hall, the priests, and myself, were massacred in one day.”
“… … .”
The treasure was forgotten for a moment, and only a solemn atmosphere filled the hall.
“why… … Could it be that?”
At that time, Leila muttered.
“The emperor already had everything and was the master of the empire, so why on earth was he regretting it?”
Leila’s reasonable doubts were answered by Ernest.
“The emperor at that time was Emon V. The last years of my life were not good. After going crazy, he was eventually forcibly dethroned and committed suicide in his villa.”
Is it causal retribution?
At least I didn’t enjoy heaven.
Of course, one person’s opinion seemed to differ.
“… … It’s suicide. I went the most convenient way. “You damn bastard.”
Saint Aimar asked as if he was chewing.
“Is there a reason he went crazy?”
“It was written that he did not go crazy all at once, but went crazy gradually.”
“Why are you crazy?”
“I don’t know. “It’s just recorded as crazy.”
“Well, it’s a miracle that the empire records that their emperor is crazy.”
Saint Aimar then added:
“Well, I think I have a general idea of why you might go crazy.”
“What is that?”
Saint Aimar grinned.
“Treasure. “You said it was here on the map, right?”
“Accurately, when I deciphered it, the clues were gathered here.”
“okay. So why is it still there?”
ah.
We were missing an important fact.
In order to seize the treasure, the emperor defined a respected priest as a rebel and even murdered him.
But why is the treasure still here?
“Did the emperor not get the treasure in the end?”
“That’s right. For some reason, the emperor could not take the treasure.”
“… … .”
This is starting to smell like something I don’t know?
