Episode 145
For hundreds of years.
Falling asleep in the same spot.
Open your eyes in the same spot.
doing the same thing
A being who must have thought the same thing.
Kinggram, the ancient ogre.
Now, how does he feel when he is told to leave his beloved academy and return to his hometown, Sky Mountain?
It’s completely unpredictable.
One thing is certain.
“… … Is it spiritual power? “I remember hearing it from Draka.”
“yes. you’re right.”
It was said that his expression had changed into a very excited expression that did not suit the grim ogre’s face.
Look at this.
A blush appeared on your face?
“I thought this day might come someday, but it never really felt like it.”
Kinggram’s cheeks were red, and he had been there for eons… … .
I reminisced about the time before history.
Before human history was written.
When the ogre of Sky Mountain was the master of this land.
The time when Draka self-destructed and human history began to be written.
finally.
I see your eyebrows twitching,
It seemed like he was remembering the day when he was defeated by the human archmage Froyan Ignit and turned into an artifact.
However, he still had a flushed expression.
“Did you say you could release me?”
“yes. I haven’t tried it, but it might be possible. Because it is ‘power.’”
“If you break the pact between me and Froyan Ignit, that blue Ignit won’t stay still.”
The bright blue Ignit guy.
Well, for someone who has lived for eons, the Dean would not be at the level of a newborn.
I said with a grin.
“If you say so, Dean, I just received permission and am on my way.”
“Did he obediently allow it?”
” yes.”
Kinggram’s gaze turned behind me.
“okay. When you die, you will hear something from your ancestors. The Ogre that I barely caught was turned into a pale blue descendant.
“They let me go freely.”
I looked back.
Behind me, the dean was standing.
The Dean said, bowing his head in front of Kinggram.
“As a descendant, I must be responsible for the karma.”
“I spent hundreds of years trapped in this narrow underground space because of my oath with your ancestors. Damn oath… … . By the way, is this oath something that can be released as you please?”
“If I can cut it off, yes. it’s okay. “My ancestors’ mistakes will also be the karma I have to bear.”
“… … It’s vain. “It’s so vain.”
Kinggram raised his heavy body.
Two very familiar substances flowing from his body.
Power, and mana.
His every action overflowed with power, and his eyes were filled with deep mana.
“Goodbye to this damn paratainum figurine.”
Kinggram’s eyes turned to me.
“Luin, are you sure you can do this?”
Breaking the oath.
Any covenant is destroyed.
I nodded slightly without saying a word.
Then Kinggram quietly closed his eyes and muttered.
“okay. “Let’s go back home.”
In his voice, I could hear excitement and trembling at the same time.
How does he feel now?
《The oath breaking is activated.》
When I activated the skill, the world began to appear in two colors.
The whole world turned into a mixture of black and white.
Among this black and white, a dark purple chain caught my eye.
This chain bound Kinggram’s heart… … .
What’s very interesting is that the same chain can be seen in the dean’s heart.
Instead, the color was very pale.
Because they are descendants of the blood of ‘Froyan Ignit’, their color is pale, but they are bound by the chains of an oath.
“I’ll try.”
I take my hand to Kinggram’s heart
I covered everything.
Then, the heart chain began to shake.
《Sharing Kinggram’s memories.》
At the same time, it felt like something was grabbing my hair and pulling me upwards.
It felt like I was being sucked into somewhere.
My perspective has changed.
The place that unfolded before my eyes was a completely different world.
Perhaps it is Kinggram’s memory.
In memory.
A man covered in a pure white robe is standing in front of me.
-It is an oath. Kinggram.
And, the ogre lying bleeding in front of him.
I knew right away who they were.
Dean Tyrion Ignit’s distant ancestor.
Rhedian Kingdom, the first Archmage Froyan Ignit.
Around him, mana similar to a tsunami was flowing.
He was mana itself.
-You will never see the sun again. I will never see my compatriots again, and I will never be able to walk on this earth with my own two legs again.
The archmage’s eyes were filled with pure white cold.
-But, I promise you this one thing. Your people on Sky Mountain will be safe.
Kinggram’s pupils shook greatly.
-until when?
In response to Kinggram’s question, Archmage Froy Jan Ignit spoke with his white eyes flashing.
-Until the day the covenant between you and me is broken.
It was a kind of death sentence.
It was an endless wait, and an irresponsible promise.
Unlike ancient ogres, humans cannot live for eons.
Soon you will die.
The day when the covenant is broken may never come.
However, Kinggram did not hesitate.
His shaking pupils glowed purple, and he raised the corners of his mouth.
– I agree.
A shackle was created that bound Kinggram’s heart.
This is a pledge.
A mere cosmetic promise that has been kept unilaterally for hundreds of years.
My vision turns upside down again.
“… … Ruin County. “Are you okay?”
“Ah yes. it’s okay.”
At the same time, the world returned to its original light, and Kinggram and the Dean were still standing before my eyes.
But what has changed… … .
The shackles that bound Kinggram’s heart were suddenly on my hands.
I held the shackles very lightly.
OK.
Tuk… … !
And the chain broke.
《The covenant that existed between Froyan Ignit and Kinggram is destroyed.》
It’s over.
Now, let’s go home.
The dean looked at me in astonishment, as if in disbelief, but he no longer doubted my abilities.
Just accept it.
I said with a grin towards Kinggram.
“Congratulations on your graduation.”
♦ * *
Kinggram’s body is here.
It could only exist in the underground artifact room.
He was blocked by the restrictions of the oath, but there were only two opportunities to get out of the academy.
My summons.
And the only case was that it was trapped inside the paratinum statue and turned into an artifact.
But, it’s different now.
“Oh my gosh!”
“That ogre… … . Could it be Kinggram?”
“I think so? “The dean is also by your side!”
thud! coup
Kingram came out of the basement with his body so large that his head touched the ceiling.
Rather than being trapped in a paratinum statue and riding on a cart being pulled by trainers… … .
Walk proudly on your own feet.
As he passed through the hallway and out of the campus, the scorching sun tickled Kinggram’s eyes.
How long has it been since I last saw the sun?
“Ugh… … . “It’s dazzling.”
Kinggram habitually used the ogre language, not the human language.
With Kinggram’s appearance, the quiet Academy was once again turned upside down.
“A crazy senior who came to my alma mater out of nowhere and disrupted class. Next time, will it be an ogre who goes out for the first time in hundreds of years… … . “Today’s class went well.”
me.
Next, Kinggram.
Professor Heidel playfully frowned at the class disruptors who appeared one after another… … .
He even smiled slightly, as if he was really looking forward to this situation.
It was such an unusual sight.
Two humans and one incarnation.
This strange sight of one ogre walking side by side.
“Waaah!”
The academy students cheered, and we headed straight to the spring garden.
The Dean stood on the podium in the Spring Garden.
The Dean nodded to Kinggram.
He bowed and showed respect, and at the same time, the entire academy became quiet.
The Dean opened his mouth with mana in his mouth.
“Then, let’s begin Kinggram’s graduation ceremony.”
Graduation ceremony for an ogre?
“… … huh? “Did I hear it wrong?”
“I thought you just said it was a graduation ceremony… …
It is not unreasonable for such a curious reaction to arise among students.
But I even prepared a very nice bouquet suitable for the graduation ceremony.
I snuck a few flowers out of the flower bed earlier, so I’m sure you’ll understand this, right?
“Hey, how many years has it been? Even though I only went there for 6 years, I felt strange about graduating… … . “How about Kinggram?”
In response to my question, Kinggram raised the corner of his mouth as he glanced around the academy building.
“I want to blow this place up right now.”
“yes?”
“I mean, it feels that good.”
Is this an ogre’s humor?
Well, anyway.
Several students sighed in relief, and I smiled and handed Kinggram a bouquet of flowers.
As soon as Kinggram accepted the bouquet, I applauded.
Then thunderous applause broke out.
A being who has shared the history of the Academy with us for over 500 years, since the year the Academy was founded.
Perhaps, a being trapped in an unfair covenant.
okay.
Although he is an ogre, he deserves respect from humans.
He deserves our congratulations.
The dean invited Kinggram to say something, and Kinggram said while facing the academy building.
He said this while facing the young juniors he had been teaching.
“Goodbye everyone.”
The corners of Kinggram’s mouth rose.
“You weak little brats.”
“Waaaaaa!”
As the vitriol erupted, the students cheered as if they had been waiting for it.
♦ ♦ ♦
The oath that bound Kinggram was broken.
He became free.
But the real problem was what happened next.
“Now, what do we do?”
“I have to go to Sky Mountain. Let’s go. “I want to see my hometown soon.”
“That’s right. But how?”
“How are you going to get there?”
First of all, I left the academy… … .
It would be an impossible journey for an ogre of this enormous size to reach Sky Mountain while avoiding the eyes of people.
Without having to go far from the academy,
As soon as you enter this village, the guards will try to kill Kingram.
Even if Kinggram simply defends, the guards will not be able to stop it, so knights will soon be dispatched from nearby territories.
However, the knights will not be able to capture Kinggram alive, and an emergency may occur throughout the kingdom.
‘A heartless murderous ogre that comes out of nowhere and mercilessly slaughters humans.’
Being called something like that.
It would be nice if I could at least use magic like Polymorph.
That is impossible because it is a magic that only dragons use.
You can change the face using reverse magic, but changing the ogre’s face will only result in a more ferocious ogre.
There is only one way.
“You have to take me. “I don’t know the way around here.”
After all, that’s the only way, right?”
Skill, summon dimension.
With the title Ogre Lord effect.
You can summon designated ogres to your location through the void of the portal.
A counter idea using this.
I put Kinggram in this ‘sub-space’ and ‘transport’ it myself.
It was then.
Tiring!
《Surprise Quest》
《The lost ogre misses his hometown.》
《The ancient ogre Kinggram must be returned to his hometown, ‘Sky Mountain.’ If you return King Gram, the son of the first tribal chief Kunkan, to Sky Mountain, the ogres will gift you a secret ‘elixir’.》
《Time limit: None》
《Reward: Special Ogre Tendon Elixir》
Special Ogre Tendon Elixir?
What is this again… … .
When I asked, Kinggram said as if it were ridiculous.
“It’s such a good thing for a male.”
So what is it?
