Episode 229
Jeron slowly glanced at Luna. She looked different in many ways from when she descended as a saint. First of all, the saint lacked volume. What I meant was that it was poor. But now, it was truly rich(?), like the darkness that replaced the daytime sun and embraced everything in a benevolent and warm way.
Luna said with a white smile.
“I have a big heart.”
“Hmm. “You can read my thoughts.”
“The Sanctuary is the border between Middle Earth and Astral. It is a space where beings like me can descend a part of themselves without having to resort to the power of an avatar or medium. However, that does not mean that it is possible to read the thoughts of a special being with divinity like Xeron. In fact, the being called God is not a perfect being. Rather, they are imperfect like mortals such as humans, dwarves, orcs, and elves.”
“Hmm. therefore… … “Are you saying you didn’t read my mind?”
“that’s right.”
“Then how did you know?”
“You could see it on your face.”
Luna pointed to her face with her finger.
Jeron, unable to bear the overwhelming sense of shame, covered his face with his palms.
“are you okay. Because beings like me also have emotions and sexual desires. For example, in Middle Earth, the dream demon succubus or incubus, born from the remnants of beings called devils, has sexual desire among the fundamental desires of devils… … .”
“I understand what you mean, so please stop talking.”
Jeron shook his head, still covering his face with his palms.
“Hehe. “Jeron is pure.”
“… … “Let’s get to the point.”
Luna was still smiling, nodded and snapped her fingers. There was a chair for Jeron to sit on. He said, erasing her smile as he sat down.
“I asked my child to call Jeron to give him some warnings.”
“warning?”
“yes. “Danger is coming to Middle Earth.”
“Is it okay if I tell you that?”
“As the cursed land disappeared, the border between Middle Earth and Astral narrowed. As a result, my power to interfere with Middle Earth has increased. So it’s okay. “If it had been before, there would have been a big problem.”
Jeron understood Luna’s words. He also noticed that the ‘cursed land’ was a land of barbarism. He had to first resolve the question before listening to the warning.
“Why did the cursed land disappear?”
“The corrupted guardian absorbed the source of the earth to regain his lost old power. As a result, the land that lost its origin disappeared.”
“Corrupted Guardian? “What is that?”
“I’m talking about Dragon. “It is also the main culprit of all the chaos going on in Middle Earth.”
“… … !”
I remembered Einhortaha saying he was the mastermind. Also, at that time, Jeron felt that the bastard was different from humans. It was a moment when I clearly realized the reason.
‘For some reason, it didn’t look like a human, but it turned out to be a dragon.’
But there was still something I didn’t understand.
“What exactly does a guardian do?”
“It is a kind of guardian that exists to stop any threat that comes to Middle Earth. If the threat was a god or a devil, it also played a role in destroying that entity. On the other hand, if humans harmed gods or demons, they would stop them.”
“Then why did you become corrupted?”
“This is because the Age of Myth came to an end, the boundary between Middle Earth and Astral was created, and the reason for the Guardians’ existence disappeared. The guardians of Middle-earth were originally supposed to leave for Astral. Like the witches with Jeron. But he didn’t leave for Astral. No, he couldn’t leave. He was in hibernation for a long time due to the wounds he received in the last war of the Mythical Age and missed the opportunity to make a choice. The moment he woke up from hibernation, the shackles of being the guardian of Middle Earth were lifted, and from then on, ‘he’ began to deteriorate little by little. “It’s not about protecting the peace of Middle-Earth, but it’s about hatred that wants to destroy Middle-Earth.”
“I don’t understand.”
Jeron said with narrowed eyebrows.
If he were Einhortaha, he would not cause chaos like this, but would rule behind the scenes and make people slander and eat each other.
Of course, those with awake thoughts and wise eyes would not remain still, but a dragon that is said to live for eternity would have the patience and ability to do so.
“It has to be that way. The reason he was wounded in the war and fell into hibernation was because of ‘someone’s’ conspiracy. Actually, I think his corruption was the work of ‘someone’. “It was hundreds of years ago that we even noticed his existence.”
“Then why didn’t you stop him hundreds of years ago?”
“If we step forward, ‘they’ won’t stay silent either.”
‘They’ refers to demons who want to take control of Middle Earth, including Behemoth.
Jeron noticed that fact.
“The source of the cursed land contains a power that firmly supports the boundary between Astral and Middle Earth. That power was protected and protected in the hands of the druids, who were called barbarians in Middle Earth. However, a long time ago, due to the intervention of ‘someone’, the cursed land turned into a terrible environment and the druids’ powers became evil.”
“Something is getting complicated.”
“that’s right.”
“Hmm. First of all, if you summarize Luna’s story, it means that there is a dark side controlling Einhortaha. Right?”
“that’s right. At first I thought I was one of ‘them’. But now… … .”
“You think it might be Solar?”
Behemoth descended as Solar’s avatar.
Even if the sacrifice was made by a demon magician, it would be impossible without Solar’s permission.
“… … that’s right.”
“Isn’t Solar the god of the sun and humans? Why does such a thing exist? “For what reason does he do that?”
“Immortals and mortals have different perspectives. What I mean is… … .”
“It means that immortal time and mortal time do not flow the same way.”
“… … “It’s accurate.”
Luna looked at Jeron with slightly surprised eyes. It was as if she was asking, ‘How did you know?’
“Under the assumption that Solar is truly a shadowy figure… … From the perspective of an immortal, manipulating Einhortaha and causing chaos on the continent would have a positive influence on Middle Earth.”
“… … .”
Luna was about to say something, but she closed her lips and smiled bitterly.
Jeron asked a question while staring at Luna.
“Luna, do you feel the same way?”
“Do you remember what I said earlier?”
“You said we were imperfect, like mortals. “I remember.”
It was a conversation that was close to a Zen question, but Jeron understood.

‘Solar and Luna have different meanings.’
Immortals are not flawless beings. They are beings with emotions and opinions like ordinary people. Just look at the Behemoth incident. Luna stopped Behemoth. However, if she had the same intentions as Solar, she would have no reason to stop Behemoth.
It was conclusive evidence that Solar and Luna had different opinions.
“… … But it is also difficult to conclude that it is solar.”
“Because there is no evidence?”
Luna nodded.
“I guess it’s not enough that Behemoth descended as Solar’s avatar. hmm. all right. Let’s skip that part for now. So what is the danger that is coming to Middle Earth?”
“Forgotten mythical beings will awaken.”
“I’ve said that before.”
Luna once told Jeron that a mythical being would appear in Middle Earth. She deduced that the mythical being was living in secret. But she never said those words out of her mouth.
Luna said exactly.
“different. I’m not saying it appears. “It means that sleeping, sealed beings are awakening.”
“Uh, um. “I know this.”
Jeron felt like a typical fantasy cliché.
“They are the ones called the Undead King or the Demon King, right?”
“that’s right. “More great tribulation and fear than any chaos that Xeron experienced will engulf Middle Earth.”
“… … “You’re asking me to stop that.”
“That’s accurate.”
It was a moment when Luna’s white smile felt sinister.

Jeron returned to the room where his companions were and shared the conversation he had with Luna.
Everyone was silent, with expressions on their faces as if they had heard something they shouldn’t have heard. When she refused, it was Ni Luna’s request.
Moreover, Logan seemed to be quite confused. Because the god he believed in was Solar. It was a natural reaction to hear that Sola might be a shadowy figure.
After being silent for a long time, he spoke.
“I want to know the meaning of Solar with my own eyes.”
Although it was difficult to say, it meant that we would act together. The other party members said they would follow Jeron to the central continent without even thinking about it. At Luna’s request, the meeting was held again, but the result did not change.
That night, Logan went to see his father, Cardinal Perdain. I don’t know what they talked about, but Logan’s expression became much more relaxed.
And, he left the Vatican the next day.

Giupetto stared out the window with a worried expression.
The seasons have changed and spring has arrived. But it was still winter.
I wasn’t talking about the weather.
This meant that the monster exodus was not over.
“… … .”
It was terribly ominous.
The events in the West Continent alone made the Central Continent noisy for a while. However, an incident in the North Continent that occurred a few months ago shook the entire continent.
It was questionable whether the impact had even reached the Central Continent.
Giupetto could not concentrate on his duties.
I let out a small sigh and left the office.
To clear my complicated mind, I went to the training center to sweat it out.
There, Solord Garn and Knight Yuhan were sparring.
The two people’s swords flashed sharply as they aimed at each other’s vital points. The moment Giupetto took a step into the training hall, the two people stopped their swords as if they were waiting. At the same time, I turned my gaze to look at Giupetto.
“See you, my lord.”
The two men put away their swords and bow. Giupetto realized his mistake, but it was too late.
“I am sorry.”
“no.”
Yuhan shook his head at Giupetto’s apology. Even so, sparring was heating up. Giupetto’s appearance was the perfect time to break the flow.
Garn wipes his sweat, tilts his head, and asks.
“Do you have any concerns?”
“The monster movement doesn’t stop. “This doesn’t happen often, but I don’t know how many times this year it has happened.”
“… … Come to think of it, I heard you dealt with an ogre a few days ago.”
“okay. “It was the first time an ogre appeared in Viscounty Perian.”
The existence of ogres is rare.
Although they are more common than the most dangerous Cyclops, they live in the forest as their territory, so they rarely approach cities or villages.
“I don’t know what kind of accident the youngest guy is having in the North Continent.”
“Jeron?”
“okay. “I heard there was a serious accident in the North Continent.”
Giupetto pictured his wife waiting for Jeron to return.
I immediately shook my head and quickly erased it from my memory.
It’s out of your hands.
If a shrimp gets involved in a whale fight, its back will burst.
‘I guess I should pray for his soul to rest in peace.’
Because the path you take must be peaceful.
