Can I kill you?

May it be written in the scriptures of the Church of Roden,

It is said that the creator, Roden, created the planet and filled it with living things one by one over a long period of time. And finally, Roden, who created humans, the most ideal beings similar to himself, is said to have created a race to protect Roden from other worlds, and that is the dragon.

Of course, it is only our claim that humans are the most similar to God.

Other tribes also have their own myths that only they believe in.

We humans aren’t the only ones who can communicate with God, and just as we have saints, elves have high elves and dwarves have deep dwarves.

In this way, numerous myths were created according to tribes and beliefs.

However, similarly, there are commonalities among different myths.

One of them is that dragons are a powerful race that is incomparable to any other race.

It is known that dragons continue to grow stronger from the moment they are born until they return to nature after the end of their average lifespan of 10,000 years.

Since dragons were created for the purpose of protecting the world, they are inevitably strong beings.

In fact, it is not easy to actually see dragons now. It is mainly studied through artifacts from the mythical age.

Scholars explain why dragons disappeared.

As we went from the anxious mythical age to the ancient age, which gradually entered the stable period, the dragon’s activity decreased a lot, and in the present age, the dragon’s activity has stopped because it has become completely stable enough that there is no need to step out.

That’s why I’m so fascinated by the dragon in front of me right now, and I wonder why she’s looking for me.

It’s a situation where you can’t help but be curious.

After looking at me with a smile for a while, she closed her eyes, and the pressure that had been constricting her body disappeared in an instant.

As I was breathing lightly, she asked me.

“Seeing as you noticed that I am a dragon, you must have known about ‘fear’?”

“I know what is going on in the world.”

“Actually, if it’s a peer, everyone in our species has it. But I was born with an overwhelming ‘peer’ among them. It was to the extent that ‘Peer’ was expressed as a talent, so I said everything. They say that even in the hundreds of thousands of years of dragon history, I am the first. Well, thanks to you, I’ve always lived with my eyes closed. Especially when I’m like this, I can’t control myself.”

It is said that it is an exceptional ‘peer’ among dragons, so I can understand the fear I felt earlier.

Am I a weak human being?

“Are there still many dragons in the world?”

“It has decreased a lot compared to before. The purpose of our existence was slowly disappearing.”

Because there was, la… … .

Why is the nuance a bit ominous?

“You mean not now?”

“You know better than I do, right? You even saw ‘it’ and defeated it.”

He seems to know that I met Morton, the four-horned demon.

Well, he knew that I was going to send Huifer to the Kadar Mountains, but he doesn’t seem to know that he met the devil.

Beings from another dimension like demons are originally the ones that dragons have to deal with, not us.

“you… … .”

“My name is Arias. Those who know me because I use the power of the earth call me the Queen of the Earth.”

Queen, I guess that’s what it meant.

“Arias, does your father know that you are a dragon?”

“I never said it, but you know? What kind of person is he?”

“I see.”

“Pedro is such a wonderful person. I’ve lived quite a long time by human standards, but I’ve only seen three people as good as him.”

“Is that so?”

three people… … .

Considering her lightly referring to 1,000 years, it is an extremely small number.

My father is a man recognized even by dragons!

“Actually, Pedro is popular with other races as well. He has good manners, he knows honor, he’s handsome, and he’s talented. It would be correct to say that it cannot be popular.”

Arias’s face seemed to blush the longer he talked about his father.

Is this maybe?

‘Well, it must be because of my mood… … .’

Anyway, I was in a very good mood, so I nodded, and she suddenly pointed at my chest.

“Do you know that Keshin is a dragon?”

Are you embarrassed to change the subject?

once answered.

“yes.”

“I am the daughter of that Keshin. Incidentally, I was there when Keshin made the elemental armor you are wearing now.”

That she was Keshin’s daughter!

I was genuinely surprised.

‘But why didn’t Arin tell me anything?’

I quickly checked Arin’s condition.

And soon I could feel a slight but deep fear in her.

‘Arin, why are you shaking so much? Is it because of that dragon?’

[I’m… it’s okay. Let’s talk first.]

‘How are you talking about your condition? i just have to go I’ll talk later when you’re gone.’

[You can’t do that! That Arias is a dragon who inherited Lord’s blood. He is someone who will be as helpful to Master as cheering in the future. I never want to do anything that disturbs the Master.]

‘scale… … .’

Arin’s sincerity is transmitted through the string connected by the soul.

I had no choice but to follow her advice.

But I couldn’t help but be impressed.

“What the hell did you do to Arin?”

“scale… It’s a fitting name.”

Arias, who had called Arin’s name out loud a few times, lowered his head and said.

“Arin is originally a spirit. It was also an incredibly outstanding spirit.”

I didn’t know.

It seems that even Arin himself did not know. It’s such a surprise to see it.

No, should I say I forgot in this case?

“So?”

“Kesin tried to fuse the spirits with Arin to make spirit armor, and he succeeded in the end.”

“That’s it.”

“Yes, the pain Arin felt during the process of making the armor must have been beyond words. Because it was about dealing with the soul. Rather, it’s amazing that the ego hasn’t disappeared. If it was a spirit other than Arin, I might not have been able to withstand it.”

It’s hard to imagine how much pain the dragon Arias must have felt.

“Even the mighty Keshin had trouble moving for quite some time after completing the armor. not… Since Keshin ripped out his own soul and attached it to it, must it have been worse than Arin? Anyway, I think Arin’s trauma that occurred at that time was expressed after meeting me.”

When I first tried to name Arin ‘Kesin’, I understood her reaction when she refused.

Arias slightly bowed her head towards my chest.

“Sorry. Even though I didn’t make the armor myself, Keshin was my escort while making it, so it’s no different than helping me. I apologize, Arin.”

Arin trembled.

The idea of forgiveness comes through.

But I didn’t dare say that out of my mouth.

Because I hated those who bullied Arin.

“Why did Keshin do that?”

“To help you.”

It is an answer that has no choice but to leave an impression.

“What am I doing, even doing that to help me?”

“Remember what I said about foreknowledge?”

“… I remember.”

I didn’t understand.

“Ordinary prophets observe an uncertain future. You see some kind of possibility. In that case, the prophecy can change depending on the actions of the person who heard the prophecy. That’s a prediction of an uncertain future. On the other hand, the saintess can also see a definite future. As a mortal, you see a future that cannot be changed no matter how hard you try.”

“A certain future… So if there is a future that won’t change no matter how hard you try, what’s the point of knowing that in advance?”

“Even though we cannot change the future, we can prepare for and prepare for the outcome. The saintess said that the end of our world has been confirmed.”

It reminds me of the message I saw before the regression.

『The destruction of the world of Roden is confirmed.

EX grade privileges are activated.』

That message also confirmed the destruction of Roden.

Maybe it was thanks to him that I was able to regress like this.

So I can be sure

‘There is no such thing as a fixed future.’

The mission given to me by God through the return is to change the fate of the world that is destined to perish.

And that already means that ‘determined’ can change as much as I want according to my efforts, and it is not something that can be practically expressed as ‘determined’.

– No one knows what the future holds. All humans live like that. isn’t it?

Even the god, or the star of awakening that is equivalent to a god, said that.

“We were preparing for the coming doom not too long ago. It is to keep as many individuals of the race alive as possible so that they can survive after the destruction. I thought there was nothing else I could do.”

I can say for sure.

The contrast that the saintess and the dragon made was a joke.

However, it seems that my thoughts were revealed on my face.

Arias said to me with a small smile.

“Your face is full of dissatisfaction?”

“Because I don’t agree with that.”

“As expected, you… … .”

As she tilted her head, not knowing what point she was admiring, she continued.

“I met the saintess yesterday. The child, who was always calm, said differently than usual with great excitement. A miracle happened.”

“miracle? Do you mean that the future is gone?”

“No, that future has changed to an uncertain future. It means that we may not perish depending on how we do it. You said it only changed about a week ago. It’s like a miracle.”

about a week ago

It roughly coincides with the time when I came back.

“I know it was around that time when you woke up.”

“you’re right.”

“Me, the saintess, and our species believe that you are the cause of the definite future turning into an indeterminate one. In fact, the saintess said she saw you many times in the changed future. I had a bit of trouble saying I wanted to see you but stopped trying to follow you.”

Curiosity rears its head.

In my previous life, the saintess referred to me as ‘the worst villain to destroy the world’. So I became the enemy of the world.

In reality, even if I died, it seems that the destruction continued.

But what kind of future did you see in this life?

“What was the future me she saw?”

“The future you said you had two tinnitus.”

“Two of them? What is it?”

Arias spread two fingers and folded one.

“Saints, and.”

He said while folding the other one.

“saver.”

‘A saint is very uncomfortable.’

Wasn’t I also called a saint in that illusion?

Arias opened her eyes.

Unlike before, even though I am making eye contact with her, I do not feel any fear.

She looked at me with starry eyes and smiled.

“You are no longer afraid of me.”

“Because we talked to a certain extent. I guess I’m used to it?”

“it is not so. My ‘peer’ is not something I can get used to. In fact, Cedric stayed with me for several days, and even though the saintess has been looking at me almost from the moment she was born, she still can’t make eye contact with me.”

She didn’t close her eyes anymore, and I didn’t look away from her either.

“Among the living humans, you are the second person who doesn’t mind making eye contact with me.”

“Who is the first?”

“Pedro. It’s one of the reasons I respect him. I think the relationship between the two is deep. I think that the father is the son.”

“… I think so too.”

Enemies who killed me and each other in my previous life.

now in poverty.

And in the illusion, as a priest.

I don’t think there will ever be a deeper relationship than this one.

I was embarrassed for some reason and changed the subject.

“Now tell me. What was the reason you came to me? I don’t think I’ve come to tell you this.”

And the answer I heard from her was something I could never have imagined.

“Like the warriors who saved the world in the past, you are special. So let me suggest. I know where there is a demon sealed away by a warrior in ancient times. Would you like to go and meet me?”

My thoughts jump out of my mouth without passing through my brain.

“Can I kill that demon?”
