Chapter 197. 5,637 Regrets (3)
Since falling into this world, there have been two questions that have long remained unanswered.
Who is the Warrior?
And who is my character, 'Naless Ash'?
Viscount Pewin's survival, Tribus' death, the Outer Gods and Sacred Relics, and so on.
Even amidst the nurous changes of World Scenario 4.0, those two questions remained in a corner of my mind like an untied knot.
If anything, it was the first question whose outline beca a little clearer over ti.
‘The Warrior is the creator of the Outer Gods' Sacred Relics.’
In a secret chamber in Wolfskrig, the emperor on his deathbed had said so, fidgeting with 'Ding-Dong.'
‘The Sacred Relics are a kind of key. They are a key to communicate with the Outer Gods, but also a key to access the power of the Warrior.’
After mobilizing all sorts of intelligence networks to investigate, I was able to reconfirm the emperor's claim.
Regardless of historical materials, myths, or legends, they all said that the one who created the Sacred Relics and scattered them across this land was the 'Warrior.'
Of course, that in itself was not enough to be considered proof.
Because there were no specific descriptions or eyewitness accounts, which are usually present in the parts of folklore that tell the truth.
Everything was shrouded in a veil.
The appearance of the Warrior.
The mont the Sacred Relics were created.
The connection with the Outer Gods, and so on.
However, the reason I could not ignore those absurd legends was because there was another piece of evidence that only Sacred Relic wielders could know.
‘The more Sacred Relics you collect, the stronger the power of the Warrior becos, or you gain new powers.’
In the end, the information about the Warrior was narrowed down to the following three.
He created the Sacred Relics.
He has so connection with the Outer Gods, the source of the Sacred Relics.
And he is a being who has so sort of connection with my character, 'Naless Ash.'
‘But it was impossible to find out what that 'sort of connection' was.’
This information gap led to the second question.
What kind of hero character is 'Naless Ash'?
At first, I simply thought it was a hero who received a few new cheat-like traits as a special reward.
Not at all.
The special reward I received was not a simple cheat-like trait, but the 'power of the Warrior,' which could originally only be obtained through a Sacred Relic.
'Naless Ash' could imdiately use powerful abilities that would normally require collecting multiple Sacred Relics, just by eting a few conditions.
‘Maybe that's why Kkumteuli and the other Sacred Relics naturally called 'master'….’
Yes.
Kkumteuli and the other Sacred Relics did not have the sa relationship with all 'Sacred Relic Guardians.'
In fact, he said that there were many Guardians with whom they couldn't even communicate at all.
He also ntioned that I was different from the previous 'masters.'
Ti has passed, and the man before is claiming to be a being who has branched off from my past, and at the sa ti, the 'Warrior' who created the Sacred Relics.
According to his words, the one who created the Outer Gods and the Sacred Relics is ultimately ' from a multiverse tiline.'
The reason the Sacred Relics gave special treatnt is probably because they found a similarity between and that man.
Whether it originated from the original ',' or the influence of the character 'Naless Ash.'
“It's almost ti. Do you have any last questions?”
‘Outer Gods, Sacred Relics, Naless Ash. Why did you create them?’
“Ah, let correct one thing. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that I created 'Naless Ash.' It would be more accurate to say that I spread the Outer Gods and Sacred Relics to other tilines and indirectly influenced the creation of such a hero's position.”
‘Anyway, I'm asking why you made them.’
“For the sa reason as you now.”
He gave a bitter smile.
“Because I blew the chance to stop the world from ending with my own hands.”
It was a smile that seed to self-deprecatingly recall an old mory.
“I regretted, watching my own world that had already been destroyed, and the countless worlds that would be destroyed in the future. Just as you are now regretting not being able to protect your people.”
The 'Warrior' let out a deep sigh.
At that mont, for so reason, I felt as if I had glimpsed the shadow of a cosmic being, larger than the God of War who was striking with his palm.
At the sa ti, I felt a sense of crisis that if it weren't for the delicate consideration of that being, I would have gone mad and my soul would have been annihilated on the spot, regardless of [Lord's Unyielding Mind].
And I also vaguely knew that the emotion contained in that consideration was sadness.
“Yes. Because I regretted it.”
The smile disappeared from his lips.
Thus, the once-giant cosmic being beca a re human for a short while.
That appearance was exactly the sa as the one I had faced in the mirror in the old days, when my tears had dried up even though I wanted to cry.
***
Unfortunately, I couldn't imdiately hear what 'regret' he was talking about.
“As I said, this blank space we're talking in is not long. We'll talk about the details next ti. Until then, struggle with all your might one more ti. It would be even better if you could co back after winning, if possible.”
Snap!
He snapped his fingers and covered my eyes.
I was back again.
To the room like a vast outer space.
The third chance.
Clap. Clap. Clap.
The sound of applause is heard.
He greets .
We fought.
And were defeated.
There were two mistakes.
First, the Lur Legion was far stronger than the Vampire Archduchy.
Unlike the previous ti, I did not have the undead army of the Vampire Archduchy join the main force.
Instead, in the body of Tribus, I led the undead army out of the ambush site and counter-attacked the bewildered Lur Legion.
However, perhaps because the original is the original, even for the undead.
The Vampire Archduchy was helplessly pushed back.
Even though there were two level 10 necromancers on the Archduchy's side, the qualitative difference in the undead troops themselves was severe.
The second cause of defeat was that the firepower of the Church army was not as strong as I thought.
In fact, the priest's miracles themselves are a skill group focused on buffs and healing rather than attack.
In terms of potential, it's because Alina Pewin, who is no different from a saint, and the 'Bishop' Castro of the Imperial Secret Knight Order are exceptions.
Holy aura is an attack skill, but it is fundantally dependent on swordsmanship, so it tends to be lacking in range.
As a result, although the attacks of the Church army were fatal to the monsters, it was difficult to pour out explosive firepower over a wide area like fire-based spells.
