Episode 219. The Classics of Incitement (3)
There were more than a few people who benefited from the great sages of the past.
It is almost certain that if it weren’t for her, this peaceful Divine Empire would never have existed in the first place.
It was she who protected the continent from the ancient evil gods that threatened humanity.
She was known to not stay still if she saw someone in trouble as she passed by, so most paintings depicting her are portrayed as an angel.
Her death, in which she sacrificed herself for the Empire and, by extension, the world, is remembered as the saddest day in the Empire.
How many people have been brainwashed into calling her a devil, forgetting the grace she sacrificed for them?
But humanity is not that corrupt.
Her fame was revived in an instant by the unity of those who had benefited from her.
As the anniversary of her death approaches, the so-called Magic Banquet has become a sort of holiday.
Even now, there are many people who enjoy the festival from afar.
-Zodiac Cross Divine.
-The city of Seonghwangdo Kreuz.
– Chain Silver’s Dukedom Silver Town.
-The small kingdom of Papyrus.
– A snowy village in the northern part of the empire, located near the Sword Society.
– A border town on the western front line.
The situation at the magic banquet could be broadcast live from all parts of the empire.
Today in particular, many people came to appreciate the 5th day of tactical training.
A magical tool that allows one to see sights from a long distance using a giant crystal ball.
This incredible technology was also a product of the great sage Dantia, and beyond the screen was the town of Alighieri.
Then the screen suddenly changes and a strange scene comes into view.
[Then there is only one place you should go! I will send you to hell just like your father and brother!]
There, the saintess of the church, Nevia Cromag, and the emperor of the empire, Carmine, were shining.
Here, the people were shocked by the mutated appearance of Emperor Carmine.
[Are you going crazy? No one is coming to save you here!]
Teeth that jut out so frighteningly that they are reminiscent of a shark, and sharp horns that sprout from its head.
Wings sprouting from the skin on its back and bloodshot eyes.
That demon-like figure was undoubtedly the emperor.
Holy King Carmine Fried Divine.
A bomb-like silence fell over him as he looked like that.
The entire empire was left cold.
* * * * *
Three minutes passed as silence fell over Alighieri Town.
It was only then that people began to break the silence, one by one, opening their mouths.
A wave of confusion swept through both the defending and attacking sides.
Naturally, all eyes had to turn to the person who brought up that screen.
“That human… was he alive?”
Professor Radian was greatly surprised to see Elder Enviel standing on top of the building.
After the Gumiho incident, news of her disappearance spread widely.
It wasn’t impossible for him to appear like that, since it wasn’t specifically revealed that he was dead.
But no matter how much I racked my brain, all I could find was something strange.
`He was clearly a human who brought out the nine-tailed fox and tried to destroy the academy and awaken the evil spirit.`
There are more than one or two subtle points to note, as he always seems to take this side.
It wasn’t convincing at all.
It feels like watching a story unfolding in an action novel where the main character meets his enemy and, at the moment when he is about to wrap things up, he sympathizes with his enemy’s words, “We have the same mother’s name,” and they both laugh.
I wonder if something happened while he was missing.
Even if we give in a hundred times and say that the person has changed, I don’t think a psychopath who was trying to destroy the world just a year ago would do something like that.
“Is that really Elder Enviel?”
“I don’t know either.”
Assistant Adela came and asked, but no one knew the truth.
Currently, Saint Angela, Ruska, and Jenny were lying next to him, either exhausted or injured.
Even the people who brought Jenny here from the mountainside were the Vladimir School members who had just attacked us.
They even took care of the enemy troops who were attacking with the intent to kill at the word of Elder Enviel. Without a single doubt.
It’s scary to see just how much brainwashing Envy has done.
“Is Elder Enviel really that kind of person? Everyone has stopped fighting.”
“What I mean is…”
There were a lot of things to be suspicious of, but the power and magic I felt from him were real.
Even if you suspect it’s fake, his strong aura supports everything.
My instincts told me that it was ‘real’.
“Don’t make me laugh!”
The atmosphere that had been lightened by someone’s shout became heavy again.
“Are you really an Enviel elder? If so, show me the proof!”
It’s not just one person, but several people who are interfering and selling out Envel.
They consisted of four people, each holding a high position in some organization.
However, their true form, hidden behind a veil, was the Seven Links of Doomsday.
Excluding Enviel, Demora number 7 has died, and Grisha number 4 is not seen in that spot.
The remaining four suspected Enviel.
“Kekekekeke, I wondered who this was. It’s been quite a while. Number 2 is Katusia, number 3 is Clarke, number 5 is Benjamin, number 6 is Drake.”
Enviel looked down at them leisurely and recited their names.
Then, Katusia, number 2, revealed her hostility by releasing her magical power.
“You’re Envil? No way! If you were really our number one, there’s no way you would do something like this!”
“If you think about it, the answer is obvious. We’ve worshipped the devil and had blood on our hands countless times. We’ve attacked Alighieri several times in the process. But it doesn’t make sense to take the enemy’s side now!”
3. Clarke also strongly refuted Envy’s actions.
The power felt from him was certain, but it was difficult to prove that he was real with that power alone.
“Can you not believe it?”
Enviel smiled and spread his palms.
The magical power drawn in the form of a picture above it drew a large sign in the air.
It was the signature of the 7-star number 1, which no member of Doomsday could not have missed.
“So, does this mean I’m fake?”
“That’s…”
“Or should I tell you one by one how I first met you?”
Envyel, who reveals that there is no flaw in his being ‘real’.
If you can see the power and the sign that can be clearly sensed, there is no shortage of proof that you are the real Envyel.
but…
“Yes, I can understand why people think you’re real. But the sign you just made is a secret that no one but us Doomsdays know about.”
“ah…”
Enviel was surprised by those words and sank into silence for a moment. It was an expression of belated realization that he had made a mistake.
In reality, there is a distinction between public signs and external expense signs.
Enviel pondered the difference, confused.
“That’s right, that’s right!”
Enviel, who had dug into his own head, only then realized this, opened his eyes wide and clapped his hands.
One mistake put him in danger of having his very existence denied.
But still, Envyel was still smiling.
“Hahahahahaha!”
“What’s so funny!”
“Reveal your identity quickly!”
Number 5 Benjamin and number 6 Drake chastised him.
“I really hate people who are quick-witted like you.”
“uh…?”
“omg!”
Enviel, who was standing on the roof of the building, disappeared. At the same time, Enviel’s voice whispered from behind.
Sensing a major crisis, the two quickly deployed their magical powers.
Kwakjik!-
Push!-
But it was too late.
Enviel, who had already demonstrated incredible agility, had created a blade with wind and metal magic and pierced the upper bodies of the two.
“uh…?”
When the two died, Katusia No. 2 and Clarke No. 3 opened their eyes wide in shock.
Maybe they were foolish.
Having spent time close to Enviel, I know everything about his power.
Enviel is an entity that even if all of the seven constellations except himself were to attack, they would never be able to defeat him.
Considering that he has that power, he has no chance of winning.
Even if you counter it with logic, it will be of no use.
This is because they are the ones who have been covering it up, making unreasonable claims, and brainwashing others until now.
If we were to imitate NBL, which was at the forefront of that steep activity, what kind of stance would be appropriate?
“Oh, oh my god!”
“Run away quickly…”
Benjamin and Drake raised their wind magic to its maximum and floated up.
They were the ones who tried to run away quickly due to the tremendous wind speed.
Crunch-
But their necks were cut off before they could even fly.
Their necks rolled like balls, splattering red blood on the floor. Their necks had been cut by a small thread that had come out from Enviel’s bosom.
“….”
“….”
Everyone, from the academic side to the scholar side, was shocked to see them die in an instant.
It is a sufficiently suspicious action at the point where an ally is killed.
However, Envyel… no, the man disguised as Envyel had a plan to control the flow of the situation.
“I apologize for the inconvenience I have caused you all so far. And I am ashamed of myself before my disciples of the Vladimir School, who are like my children.”
Word of Enviel was spreading throughout the village.
He used a magic spell to make his voice louder so that everyone could hear it.
“Are you kidding me?”
Radian stuck out his tongue when he heard that sound.
He and the other bachelor’s students were all dumbfounded.
Their reaction is no different from Chilyeonseong’s a little while ago.
I’m just watching because his actions are unexpected. If not, I would have attacked him right now.
“Why are you apologizing, Elder!”
“Yes! We are sorry that we could not find you for so long!”
“Please forgive us!”
The scholars were truly blind from beginning to end.
The more I looked at it, the more I couldn’t help but laugh.
They arrested all the Suin and Elf tribes that had formed an alliance after hearing only one word from Enviel.
The foreign races were helpless in the face of the sudden attack, and the scholars watching the scene doubted whether this was a comedy novel or reality.
“No, I have been deceiving you all this time. In fact, my purpose was not to overthrow Alighieri or revive the evil spirit… That was it!”
Enviel pointed to the giant screen floating above the village.
There stood the Demon King, still at a loss in the dire situation.
The Demon King’s legs trembled and he broke out in a cold sweat at the fact that the truth he had kept hidden for so long had been revealed.
My breath became short and my face turned pale, as if I was breathing a hundred times a second.
“In fact, I have always had doubts about the Emperor’s true identity. He was certainly the greatest contributor to the revival of the Empire, recovering from the damage caused by the war 30 years ago. However! I noticed that the Emperor had changed since then.”
[Erosion rate decline: … .]
[+… Credits]
[Your credits have exceeded their limit.]
As Enviel spoke, a window appeared before his eyes.
He chuckled to himself for a moment before continuing.
“But it wasn’t easy to reveal my identity while doing external activities. So I immersed myself in the darkness. When I approached the emperor with that darkness, he flatly accepted it.”
“Darkness? Could that be…”
“What do you think I was doing forming a fanatic organization like Doomsday?”
Originally, the purpose was to revive the evil spirit.
In this way, he spread fear in the world, destroyed Alighieri, and plundered the archives.
It was an organization that brainwashed the people below it and slowly brought about salvation from destruction.
“Worship of demons? Stealing archives? In fact, all of that was… just a pretext to uncover the identity of that emperor!”
Some of the simple people were very surprised, while the rest of the people with brains were very dumbfounded.
If you’re going to do such a good thing, why have you killed so many people up until now?
However, Enviel ignored the question and continued speaking.
“Of course, the author’s body is definitely that of Emperor Kamine, the Holy King. The Demon King’s soul must have inhabited his body.”
Enviel opened his mouth to speak into the crystal ball.
“Can you hear me, Demon King?”
The Demon King on the screen was startled by Enviel’s voice coming from within.
“You’ve finally revealed your ugliness.”
The Demon King became so angry that he lost his senses when he heard Enviel’s words.
This is the very essence of agitation.
