The Heroine Who Was Taken Away by the Main Character Becomes Obsessed With Me After Returning

72. Relics. (3)

The field of view, beyond that, the world is bleached pure white.

In pure white, where nothing exists.

Nothing.

A space where such impressions can suddenly come to mind.

I tried to move my limbs unconsciously, but I couldn’t.

No. It would have been more accurate to say that there were no hands or feet to move.

It’s not just the hands and feet.

Arms and legs. Neck and body. Because there was nothing

So…… Like. The current state.

‘…… Is he dead?’

Such a question can’t help but come to mind.

But aside from that question.

For some reason, I didn’t feel any sense of danger.

Since we came to an unfamiliar space, there must have been some boundaries.

There are no boundaries.

Rather than that, if I had to describe this feeling in one word…….

‘…… Familiar?’

Rather, it feels like something familiar.

I’m used to a place I’ve never been to, a place I don’t even remember. It sounded funny, but…….

I draw it, but it was true.

Maybe because of my mood. I don’t know if it’s a characteristic of this unknown space.

I was so used to it.

…… As if you had been there before.

How did you get to this state?

My last memory right before this happened, for sure.

I stretched out my hand to receive the ancient god’s relic, the reward given to the winner at the awards ceremony of Mutuje…….

When I felt the hard touch of that crystal ball with my fingertips.

As I slowly traced back to cause and effect, the answer came.

A mysterious ability that even I, who have thick bones in my own way, have never heard of or seen.

Such an ability was activated when he touched the ‘Holy Relic’, a mysterious mass that has not yet been revealed much?

If you think about it carefully. Because there was only one answer.

‘Then this place… ….’

[Don’t try to move. Because this is not the space where your body is.]

Raise your head.

No, is it really correct to say raise your head?

Anyway, according to the will, the direction of looking changed, and a person was put in that field of view.

People…….

No, could ‘that’ really be called a person?

On the outside, he looks like a small boy.

With that face, he seemed not to be human himself.

Because human beings didn’t have the features that should have existed.

As if…… Okay. It looks like a mannequin.

At least a mannequin has a nose and a mouth.

There was no such thing as the boy in front of me.

If you are an ordinary human, his appearance alone is enough to cause fear.

However, this side also had its own immunity to such gore.

How long have I been dealing with demons? Now you can feel that level of fear.

‘What are you doing…… This. I can’t speak.’

I was about to ask a question, but I hesitated.

Unfortunately, now I have a neck sword. It seemed that even the smallest vocal organs were in a non-existent state.

There is no way I can make a sound.

But with that alone, it seemed like he knew my intentions.

The boy who smiled, or seemed to smile for some reason, continued.

[If it’s a word, it will be transmitted just by putting your will. It is a long-standing prejudice of the human species that you must use your body to communicate your thoughts.]

‘That…… Is that so?’

I don’t know if you can call that prejudice.

Anyway.

After a short conversation, I was sure he didn’t say anything in particular.

In the first place, an appearance that is difficult to see as a human.

A dignified way of speaking as if he had aged considerably, and a sacred atmosphere that radiates implicitly.

And even treating humans as a ‘species’.

…… The one in front of my eyes is definitely. Not human

Thousands of years ago.

In the past, people who stood as the world’s protagonists were not as human as they are now.

The age of gods, not the age of humans like now.

Those gods were the rulers of the continent.

Because humans were just servants and people who served them.

But now thousands of years have passed and they have finally collapsed.

In the end, a thousand years ago, the ‘Kaisha Empire’ was established, putting a complete end to the Age of Gods, which had continued for countless centuries.

And now, what is in front of my eyes is one of the protagonists who continued the era of the gods.

It has the most power in the world. At the same time, beings with the most secrets.

‘Why did the ancient god appear in front of me?’

[Why did I appear in front of you? Don’t you think the premise of the question itself is wrong? It must have been you who touched my holy relic.]

I didn’t appear in front of you.

You who touched the holy relic appeared before me.

Certainly, I touched the holy relic…… Undeniable fact.

At first glance, those words sounded like the right words with no holes in them.

Thinking about it again, there were many strange things.

‘Other people besides me must have touched this holy relic. I’ve never heard of anyone having direct contact with an Old God.’

In the first place, the holy relics of the ancient gods are things that the imperial family regards and keeps as very important.

It is illegal for civilians to possess items that contain sacred things.

If you discover it and don’t report it right away, it’s such a big problem that you’ll be sentenced to death without even going to trial.

It’s nothing else, it’s a reward given to the winner of the Mutujae.

The holy relic is given to those who are strong enough to hold on to the divinity embedded in the relic on the outside and not be bewitched by it…… It was rumored that

In the first place, the holy objects offered as prizes by the imperial family either have no use value, or the remaining sacred objects themselves are extremely insufficient.

Even if the ancient gods had other thoughts, they were so insignificant that they couldn’t do any harm to humans.

It can only play the role of an ordinary artifact. Stuff like that.

It’s a sacred thing to handle with such vigilance and vigilance.

A holy relic that allows you to contact the ancient gods just by touching them?

Is there any way you could have brought such a dangerous thing as a reward for Mutuje?

Of course, it is right to think that he has been in special contact only with me.

No, one more case…….

‘After coming into contact with those who touched the crystal, I could have erased their memories one by one.’

I didn’t think that the god in front of me would do such a troublesome thing.

Even with my own eyes, the divinity remaining in him is very insignificant…….

The divinity that was already brilliant like a burning flame has gone out, and what remains is ashes. In the meantime, it was a divinity that was barely surviving.

It was difficult to believe that there was enough divinity left in it to erase all memories of those it came in contact with.

[It’s a very, very interesting hypothesis. Let me tell you one thing. I don’t know of any other gods…… At least I won’t tell lies.]

‘How can I believe that?’

[God of wisdom and knowledge. I swear by the name of ‘Hakma’. …… It must have already been forgotten by the passage of time.]

…… As he said, it was a name he had never heard of.

In the first place, the imperial family treats information related to the ancient gods as top secret and incinerates all information.

If you’ve heard of it, that would have been odd.

It was the same as saying that the truth could not be questioned.

For some reason, I didn’t think he was lying.

‘…… Then, what is the reason for appearing in front of me?’

[Sorry, I am the god of wisdom. He is a god who tells people what they don’t know…… I don’t tell you what you already know. And you seem to already know the answer.]

‘…… ?’

What kind of bullsh*t is that?

I don’t know if I had any idea why he brought me here.

At least, if you summarize what goes on.

It’s like self-praise, but it’s funny to say it yourself. Is it because of my excellent swordsmanship?

If that’s not the case, because you’re a regressor?

If it weren’t for that, there wouldn’t be any elements that would have interested the ancient god who was quiet in the middle of the day.

[It’s close to the correct answer, but unfortunately it’s not.]

‘…… Are you kidding me?’

[All I can say is that the answer lies within you.]

Hakma shrugged as he said that.

What kind of bullsh*t is that?

Did it even spread that he was thinking that way? Or was it for some other reason?

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow.

[Oops. I guess it’s time to send this back. If this continues, the divinity will all disappear.]

‘…… Divinity disappears? Does that mean you will die?’

[No. God doesn’t die. Characteristics of all ‘gods’…… Immortality. It’s a basic element that anyone with divinity has. Perhaps you know this to some extent?]

The fact that God is an immortal being.

…… It was the first time I’d heard of it, but it wasn’t really the first time I’d heard of it.

An immortal creature.

Even if you die, you will not die.

Even if you manage to cut off its life, an enemy of the Empire that will resurrect someday.

‘The Five Plagues… ….’

Catastrophe. At the same time, they are also called evil gods by demons.

That their existence is an ancient god.

It was as if I had heard it through the mouth of the same old god.

That disaster is a kind of ancient god that has come down from ancient times.

It was a widely spread speculation in the academic world, but it was a hypothesis whose authenticity was not confirmed.

And.

Only then did I understand why the Empire was cracking down on sacredness like that.

From their point of view, the ancient gods are beings with the potential to be resurrected and become another disaster.

If all the ancient gods are those who embrace immortality like disaster…… The danger wouldn’t have been necessary to say it in words.

[Hmm. It seems that you are making a considerable misunderstanding. Unfortunately, there is no time left to tell you that.]

‘…… Misunderstanding?’

As if I was wondering what that misunderstanding was. I asked urgently.

Hakma just smiled as if he was in trouble.

‘…… Until you hear what the illusion is. I won’t go back What is that misunderstanding?’

[Well, then I should make you want to go back quickly.]

That could be it.

As he said, Hakma is the god of knowledge and wisdom.

The story is that he is not a divinity who can control other people’s emotions.

From noble mtl dot com

I won’t move no matter what I hear.

With that in mind, I drew on the power that existed in space and slowly formed a shape.

It wasn’t that difficult.

It wasn’t a very different feeling from moving mana.

I, who made the shape like that, crossed my arms.

As if he would never leave until he heard the right answer.

[Hmm. I would have said that it was only your spirit that came here. Aren’t you curious about what your body is doing right now?]

‘…… ?’

Awkward.

After hearing that, I suddenly felt goose bumps.

No. Even though he made a shape, he didn’t become a person, so he didn’t actually get goosebumps.

A sharp sense that corresponds to that.

[You seem to be curious, so I’ll tell you. What if you lose consciousness?]

That’s right, I’m going to collapse…… ?

He hesitated.

It was only then that I realized the true nature of that strong sensation and stiffened.

No way.

Did I collapse after touching the crystal ball?

‘…… Great, it’s a disaster.’

It is not a problem that it is a big event hosted by the emperor.

The orthodoxy of both commoners and aristocrats is that ‘Mutuje’ is the provision of holy relics to those who can handle the divinity of the ancient gods.

Ordinary people can be bewitched just by coming into contact with the holy relics of the ancient gods.

The point was that if a strong man had trained his mental power, he would be able to use that power without being possessed by the High Minister.

And I…….

That said, he collapsed after touching the relic of the ancient god.

Although they are all brown. Only a few members of the imperial family and a very small number of nobles knew that it was Gura.

As soon as he went outside, he was imprisoned in the basement of the imperial palace.

Before that, with the very last hope.

I asked after I spoke.

‘…… Perhaps, the time here flows differently from the time outside…… ?’

[I am not the god of time?]

Uh…… It was cooked

A chilly sensation passed by the back of my neck like a kaleidoscope passing by.

I kept my mouth shut.

‘…… I know, so give it back. Hurry!’

[This is an impatient personality. Okay. OK.]

Muttering that, he came over and tapped my forehead lightly.

And.

With the feeling that his vision is being bleached again, the God of Wisdom murmured briefly.

[I only have this much power left. The moment you need it most. This gift will bloom from you.]

You are human, but…… Because the essence is the same as mine.

With the world spreading in white again, the last words were not properly heard.

The blurred vision has returned.

* * *

‘Ugh… ….’

The bright sunlight shines brightly on the eye area even though the eyes are closed.

The limbs move at will, a feeling that is obviously familiar but strangely awkward in the meantime.

I returned to my body. It took less than a second to realize that.

I hurriedly opened my eyes that had been closed for a moment.

The situation reflected in those eyes was unexpected.

“What are you doing? Without holding a holy relic?”

“…… ?”

The situation reflected in front of my eyes…….

After I touched the holy relic, not even a second had passed.

I caught the crystal ball in an instant and lifted it into the sky.

“Waaa!”

Soon, a loud cheer came from the audience.

The madman of the Reinhardt family, a fraudulent victory.

There is no one who can deny that he was a martial artist who talked a lot and suffered a lot.

Either this or that…….

For now. It was the moment when the winner of the Mutu Festival received the royal reward.

And to the loud cheers that made his head thump, he belatedly realized that the accident had returned.

‘This damn god…… You say you don’t lie?’

…… That time hadn’t flowed at all right after meeting Hakma.
