The Rebirth of the Hero’s Party’s Archmage Chapter 142

Episode 142

It was my first time meeting the water dragon Yeriserika (penetrating eyes), one of the three divine dragons, the guardian of the World Tree. To be more precise, I should say welcome.

Did you say that Yericelica’s body cannot move because it has to protect the World Tree?

Although it was an illusion, Jerry Serika’s serious yet gentle tone and sincere benevolence in her eyes created an atmosphere of wisdom that could not be dared to be crossed.

No one had ordered me to do so, but when I came to my senses, not only me but everyone else was kneeling and worshiping the divine dragon.

“Wake up, you who have returned. “It is I, Jerry Serika, who should express my gratitude by listing all the things you have accomplished.”

I heard those words, but I didn’t dare open my knees in indescribable awe.

“What were the final moments of Alakish?”

For a moment, my eyes grew hot as I remembered the back of Alakish, who was turning around after leaving Aki in my care.

“As a descendant of a fire dragon… … “He died great and noble, sealing the abyss until the end.”

As each white dragon made a sighing sound, heartbreaking echoes of sadness filled the wetland.

At that time, Akirea, who had woken up, stretched out her hand to Jericelica as if curious, and Yericelica had such sad eyes that a ripple of sadness rose in my heart.

“Come closer, child of Alakish. “It’s so lovely, just like its mother.”

What a surprise… … For the first time, Aki left my arms on her own and started crawling towards Jerry Serika.

No, I thought so, but he suddenly turned around again and came back to me, pulling on my pants and begging me to hug him.

The white dragons were more surprised than me at the sight, and since all dragons, regardless of the corps they belong to, worship divine dragons as their parents, they must have been perplexed by Aki’s choice.

“Indeed, are you already trying to live a life worthy of the name Akiraea (freedom)? “Do as you wish.”

However, Jericelica smiled brightly, as if she knew this result.

Then a miracle… … Clear water began to fill the wetland area, which had been filled with foul odor amid corruption, and fresh greenery sprouted here and there.

While all the mortals were staring blankly, Jericelica began to sum up the situation in a solemn tone.

“I, Jerry Serica, will take the prisoners. “I saw a future in which the whole earth would be overflowing with blood when humanity did not yet have the courage to connect with the beastmen and recklessly tried to unite the beastmen with humanity.”

Jericelica’s judgment was absolute. Just as no one would dare protest against the emperor, he was not one who would rebel against the judgment of God.

Jericelica had a ‘white dream’ while protecting the World Tree. In those dreams she could observe fragments of the past and fragments of the future.

It was originally the responsibility and power of the light dragon Haraderi to look closely at the current situation, but now the light dragon was sick and dying, so there was a gap in the area of ​​observation.

At that moment, the magician Sagan suddenly opened his mouth.

“I dare not say this, but if the water dragon says so now, it must mean that the beast people are truly innocent… … .”

So what did my brother die for? His head was cut off for treason… … That was when I was about to say that.

“Don’t worry, your flesh and blood are safe.”

Sagan blinked, wondering if he could even read my mind. Lane was also surprised.

‘Kiran… … ?’

‘He didn’t die… … ?’

It was a hard story to believe, but unlike humans, God does not tell lies.

According to Yericelica’s explanation, just before the beheading, a flying dragon from the White Dragon Corps arrived at and took control of the situation.

Jericelica realized the severity of the situation north of the Wall when Alakish’s presence disappeared, and immediately intervened in the situation by seeing the future south of the Wall through a white dream.

“… … ?!”

It must have been around that time.

Suddenly, the flow of time slowed down and all my senses became less realistic, like a dream… … Suddenly, a strange lake appeared before my eyes.

It was a lake so clear and white that I could see even its deepest skin, and there were hundreds of me reflected on its surface, as if I was looking into countless mirrors at the same time.

And in the center of the lake, the goddess of Cheongseong greeted me, fluttering her sleeves gracefully.

“I invited you to my dream of Jerry Serica to have a long conversation. “The era has come when we don’t know where the Eye of the Abyss is.”

The noble hair, pure eyes, elegant dragon horns, and elegant silk clothes were all the color of the cold, clear sea. In human terms, he looked like he was in his mid-60s.

“Are you Jerry Serika?”

“Anyway, then who would it be?”

Jericelica approached me with a gait of perfect elegance and authority that reminded me of Shar’kas, looked me up and down, and smiled kindly.

“Indeed, the texture of the soul is indeed similar. “He had some understanding of what he saw in choosing you.”

“Who do you look like?”

“Unfortunately, his intelligence is considered to be inferior to his.”

Then, in the mirrors that filled the lake, my faces showed different reactions. Some people blinked, some tilted their heads, and some asked questions.

What is that?

However, rather than exchanging questions and answers that I didn’t know the meaning of ‘the real me’, I wanted to ask what I couldn’t say because I was embarrassed earlier.

“Where are you taking the prisoners?”

“I think what you need to ask and worry about is not the beastmen, but your own future.”

“yes?”

“Do you know what the current situation on the continent is like and why he had to send you beyond the wall?”

“to be honest… … “I don’t know.”

I answered briefly, but I could feel my gaze shaking unsteadily. I wonder what it is, this time too, countless people were showing various reactions.

“In this pure white dream, all human images are revealed. Everything in this lake is you. “You made different choices in your life.”

“… … ?”

“To tell you one truth, I only see one future for you. To be exact, the future where I arrive at the South Pole with Akirea.”

What does that mean… … At that time, all of a sudden, many of the ‘I’s’ that were vague like a nightmare but as vivid as reality began to disappear.

The only one left is really me… … .

As I looked around the lake in confusion, an eerie realization struck me and my hands and feet became cold of their own accord.

“The possibility of me reaching Antarctica… … Are you saying there is only one?”

When I asked cautiously, feeling an ominous premonition, Jericelica nodded gracefully.

“Rami Orbaden, the shadow of the abyss spreading across the continent… … According to my perception, it would be right for Yeri Serica to take Akirea and send him down to Antarctica with his legions, but he does not want that.”

“If it were him… … Are you really talking about Karenden? Why? “If I went down with the corps, it would be instantaneous.”

“Who knows the will of the gods? The gods bring trials to those they love. Darung on Durka, only the gods know the ways of man, and it appears that He intends to train you on those paths. To use it as fine gold.”

I was momentarily speechless.

When you say training, what do you mean, and how do you train it? They say there is only one path with a chance of success?

If I were to venture a guess, it would seem that if you make just one mistake among the big and small options, they will all fail.

“I can’t go down that dangerous path with Aki. I wouldn’t know if I were alone, but the child Alakish trusted me with… … “How could it not?”

Jerry Serica quietly shook her head at my plea.

“He believes in you. Neither you nor this Jericerica can change His will. “He loves you so much that he even exposes his sick body to the old gods for your sake.”

“… … !”

“You must make a choice, one whose name is Rin. “Will I finish the race of life according to His will, or will I let go of everything and live a meaningless life?”

Jericelica’s words rang heavily in my heart. The race of life according to Karenden’s will was so vague that I couldn’t even figure out what it was.

“Do you want to see the truth?”

At that moment, the worries swirling around in my head suddenly disappeared and I felt my hands and feet shaking slightly.

“Do you want to reconnect the chain of relationships that were broken in your past life?”

I was so overwhelmed by the simple yet profound question that followed that I couldn’t even breathe.

A connection from a past life?

Chain of fate?

What exactly did that mean? My doubts soared to the point that my breathing was rapid. That’s when I opened my mouth to ask that.

“In that case, go south with Alakish’s clone. On the way, look for the little ghost first.”

“What do you mean, a little ghost?”

“You will find out soon. He has prepared everything for that difficult and arduous road… … “Only for you.”

The truth, the fate of a past life… … Those words caused strong ripples in a series of emotions that had been sealed deep inside my heart.

Actually, I didn’t understand.

Actually, I didn’t even understand it.

Why do you want to walk down that dangerous path with Aki? … Yes, according to mortal perception, but if the Creator of Truth really said that there is truth at the end of the road.

“I will go.”

He had already died once, and Alakish also told Aki to show him his dream.

Not only Karenden, but also Alakish wanted me to take Aki, not anyone else… … For now, I have no choice but to follow their wishes.

No, it may seem like I am saying this reluctantly, but this was my will and my choice. I wanted to know more desperately. What is truth, and what is the chain of fate.

“From the moment you enter the continent, the abyss will search for you persistently, so do not delay at all and immediately leave for the south, leaving only a short greeting to your relatives.”

Jerry Serika looked up into the distant sky for a moment, and a sad, pitiful smile appeared on her face.

“And this too is His will.”

At that time, the pure white that dominated this illusory lake suddenly converged into one in Jericelica’s arms, forming a cute shape.

It was a sleeping baby.

Is he younger than Aki?

His hair color and eyebrows were so pure white that nothing on earth could imitate them. Cruel innocence like a lake on a winter day… … And transcendent presence.

“MirünGadia, the fifth child of I, Jerry Serica, whose name is ‘Seulgi.’”

Did he hesitate for a moment, or did he not want to let me go? … .

Jericelica looked down at the pure white incarnation lovingly for a while, stroking its hair carefully, and then suddenly placed it in my arms.

I was quite taken aback by that sudden action. Now, what is this? why?

“Drakyu Or Durben. The era of dragons is coming to an end. When all the dragons disappear, the abyss will arise, and this child is the child I have prepared for the end times.”

“… … !”

“The last days with the child of Alakish… … It means that we are the last dragon race that must live through that nightmare era.”

I couldn’t answer.

In the first place, I didn’t even know what this meant, so I just looked at the baby and Jerry Serika alternately and gaped.

Jericelica smiled lightly, and her body began to scatter into blue feathers of light.

“I leave it up to you according to His will. I hope you teach that child. This dazzling world created by the gods, and how to love it. Just like you learned.”

I thought dreams and fantasies were all tangled up again, but the sense of confusion disappeared in an instant and reality unfolded before my eyes again.

However, although both hands were thin, the weight pressing down harshly was the same. When I carefully lowered my head, there was a dragon egg there… … .

It was an egg with five jade-colored stripes on its pure white surface, and a mysterious pulsation could be felt inside.

“I want… … .”

In an instant, we had two children. There is a red child in the back, a white child in the front… … Is this responsibility without pleasure?

It was a joke that couldn’t be laughed at even as a joke. These children are dragons who will live in the last days, so you’re leaving them both in my care?

I don’t know what Karenden means, but if you trust me so much… … Okay, let’s give it a try.

“It’s the south… … .”

I raised my head and looked at the other side of the marsh.

The endless horizon was immersed in deep darkness, and the secretly blowing wind was as cold as a swinging blade cutting the skin.

That was the point where the first act of my life’s hundred-year journey ended and the second act began in earnest.
