Make Dark Fantasy Great Again

"Ah! If you're talking about the Archdemons, I've taken care of some." -... -... Yesterday I ate bread. It was such a casual tone, as if talking about everyday things. Lindal and Lu-Rach's thoughts completely lost their balance. In Lindal's case, he even staggered in place while clutching his forehead. It was a reflexive action despite having long ago shed his physical body. He didn't have confidence to handle the current confusion with just his mind alone. -To have taken care of the Archdemons...- -...So, does that mean you drove them somewhere? The two beings who had been exchanging glances for a while reached a reasonable conclusion. The extraordinary aspects Risir had shown so far! With that, even the unrealistic situation of a mortal being driving away numerous Archdemons could be explained. "Ah, so- how do I explain this." Risir also fell into thought at the bewildered reactions of the two beings. His eyes moved back and forth between the upper left and upper right. His hands moved busily as if assembling something in the air. "Ah." Soon Risir came up with an exclamation mark above his head. An intuitive expression had come to mind that even the two transcendent beings detached from the mundane world could immediately understand. "Think of it like catching animals and cooking them. So, I dismantled and destroyed them piece by piece. Making revival and recovery impossible-" -... -... Yesterday I ate bread. And I also cooked some Archdemons. At Risir's overly intuitive expression, they once again felt severe cognitive dissonance. -Did you use the power of the True Sacred Sword...? After a moment. Lu-Rach spoke with a trembling voice. Lindal observed Risir's expression with trembling eyes. It was a natural reaction for them. Only this moment. They had been dreaming of only this moment for a very long time. The entirety of the Great Will that would split the immortal darkness and open the path of light. The moment when the True Sacred Sword was born- Because they believed without doubt that it was the only way. "Of course. It's something I couldn't have accomplished with my power alone." Risir said while raising the True Sacred Sword held in his left hand. "The subjugation of the Archdemons. That is, undoubtedly- something I accomplished together with the Sacred Sword." -...! -...! Ah. Deep sighs flowed from their mouths. How deep the emotions contained within- It was the kind of sigh that could not even be fathomed. Lindal covering his face with his palms. Lu-Rach looking upward. Soon, they began to laugh. It was a sound that could be heard as sobbing at first glance. Thud. Thud thud. Thud thud thud- "Ah." The sensation of colliding water droplets. Risir looked up at the sky. Rain was falling from the sky. Tap. Tap. Before touching the ground, water droplets that hit something somewhat early created sounds. When he lowered his head again, a tombstone came into Risir's view. The surface of the tombstone gleamed as if it had just been erected. The surrounding grass and flowers were well-maintained as if they formed a harmony in themselves. The butterflies circling around the tombstone seemed to comfort the owner of the tombstone by carrying the fragrant scent of flowers. Whoooosh- The grass and flowers swayed in the blowing wind. It became like a touch that guided Risir's gaze. "Ah." Risir's gaze ran along with the wind. The endlessly spread field there- Passing by and brushing against the tombstones filling every corner of it. Around the tombstones, different grasses and flowers were growing. The butterflies and insects that comforted them also differed in color and form. Thud thud. Thud thud. The rain fell continuously. Every tombstone was soaked through without exception. The sound of raindrops bouncing off the tombstones. The sound of them forming and flowing down. The field was filled with their tones. In the midst of this, Lindal was still laughing. Risir unconsciously closed his eyes. Thud thud. Thud thud. Then, laughter similar to Lindal's seemed to be heard from all directions. Sobbing, intense, yet undoubtedly happy laughter- Thud thud. Thud thud. There were too many voices to remember one by one. They were names, existences, and faces. In reality, the world cannot remember most of them. It cannot remember their will and sacrifice of burning their own bodies to kindle weak flames. Thud thud. But they are here. Thud thud. Clearly remembered and sharing this moment together. As part of the Great Will- At the end of the Great Will- -The lights that had faded now gather as one to illuminate the world... Lindal's gaze turned toward the void. The field that spread to the far side of his vision seemed to be completely captured within his pupils. -Now you will always be with us by our side... Thud thud. Thud thud. Thud- Thud. The rain stopped. Now what filled the field was the warm sunlight that cut through the clouds and shone down. *** -Risir. It was a voice that reached him as he gazed at that scene in a daze. Risir looked at Lindal. -... Lindal had initially called Risir with an excited expression, but his mouth slowly closed in the end. He couldn't bring himself to express his current emotions in words. -Could you tell me a bit more in detail? So Lindal pointlessly changed the subject. -The moment when the Sacred Sword cut through the darkness. "Ah, gladly." Lindal listened intently to Risir's story. Lu-Rach approached beside them- Then, the other Sacred Swords also joined them. Risir was feeling the same emotions as them. He became elated and began to explain the process of that time in detail. "...-So, I had a Sacred Sword in one hand. And-" -And? Are you saying you were holding something else besides the Sacred Sword? "Yes? Ah. Yes. I was holding Magic Swords in the other hand. One Sacred Sword and three Magic Swords-... Ah." Risir's mouth stopped as he had been calmly talking about the situation at that time. An awkward silence descended upon the place. "You... do you remember me and my brothers without forgetting us..." The woman in black who had been standing somewhat apart while reading the mood expressed her emotion with hesitant hands. "So what I'm saying is, the Sacred Sword of Advancement 1, 2, and 3-" Risir sweated profusely as he struggled to protect everyone's world. *** [Title: So what do we do now??????] Content: Even the True Sacred Sword Without Miracle's Blessing, what can I do???? -: How about doing laundry first? -: Food waste on the way out -: Or at least stir-fry some pork -: What to do Now I have to seal Archdemon fragments ㅇㅇ Shouldn't you buy time for the True Sacred Sword to appear? -[Author]: No, then is this really Really the end?

It happened suddenly. Lindal's atmosphere changed abruptly. He opened his eyes wide and began looking around. -Lindal!? What's happening!? Lu-Rach had realized Lindal's true identity and was feeling distant from him- But even he forgot everything and called out his name. As such, Lindal's sudden change was not ordinary. -This is...! Lindal, who had been restlessly looking around for a while, finally got his bearings and swung his arm vigorously. The bright scene of the field faded- The familiar crystal revealed itself once again. "...!" Risir's group, standing on the crystal they were on- Fell into shock the moment they saw the state of the world that Lindal was showing them. In the place where no trace of darkness could be found until just moments before, new darkness was descending. Something so empty it could swallow even the darkness...pure void. "Lindal, has a new Archdemon appeared!? If you tell me the location, I'll go there immediately-" -No...! "!?" Lindal urgently cut off Risir's words. -This isn't something like that... Not a fragment of an Archdemon-... "It's not like fragments of Archdemons...?" The characteristic smile disappeared from Lindal's face. He muttered continuously with a rigidly hardened expression. Why? Hadn't they completely disappeared? Why did they appear again? After a moment. He suddenly came to his senses and said. -This is not the time to be doing this. Right now- we need to gather our strength and perform a large-scale ritual. Before it completely descends- Lindal's gaze turned toward a point on the crystal. The part that held the strongest light among all parts of the crystal- -The Religious Order. That name was mentioned from Lindal's mouth. He closed his eyes tightly. -Since it's come to this. We have no choice but to borrow their power...! Lindal steadied his breathing and gently closed his eyes. His hands neatly coming together. In an instant. His body began to emit bright light like the sun. "..." Risir, who was watching that scene right in front of him, let out an exclamation. At this very moment. He clearly realized where the power of Divinity originated from. Similar to what he had felt from the Saints he had met before- And he felt a more essential power from him. The Supreme God. It was clearly protecting its followers by their side. Within the capacity permitted to him- Risir momentarily forgot even his own situation and became excited. The believers he had met so far came to mind. Along with their devout faith. This feeling of realizing that their faith was directed toward the right place! It was truly like witnessing a miracle before his eyes. "...Huh?" It was then. Risir began looking around with a strange expression. *** -Lindal...? Lu-Rach cautiously called his name. The reason was none other. -... Because his face as he sensed the believers was gradually being tinted with shadow. -Lindal! What's wrong! As the shadow was about to cover his entire face- Lu-Rach finally couldn't hold back and raised his voice. -It's my fault... -What...? Lindal. He expressed despair with a trembling voice. -Because I am so weak... they have lost their faith in the light... Lindal broke the restrictions for the first time. By doing so, he shouldered a countless price and made direct contact with his followers. As the being they believed in and followed as the 'Supreme God'- He spoke to them. ...No response came back. What that meant was obvious. The Religious Order. Those who believed in the Great Will and the reality of light. They had lost their faith. -... Lu-Rach, who knew the Religious Order's devotion, was struck speechless. A suffocating silence flowed through the place. Meanwhile, the void within the crystal was expanding its territory moment by moment. "No." It was then that Risir spoke up. "They have not lost their faith." Lindal's gaze slowly turned to him. -Then why... doesn't my voice reach them...? Why can't they sense my existence...? In a way, it made no sense for the Great Will to seek such answers from a mortal. But for some reason- Lindal found himself seeking answers from him regardless. "...They didn't fail to sense your existence-" Risir scratched the back of his head irritably while speaking. A monologue spilled out with a sigh. Ha. How do I explain this. He barely steeled his resolve and continued speaking. "They clearly heard your voice and clearly responded to it." -...How do you know that? "Because I can hear it." -? At this very moment. Risir could feel the will of countless believers directed toward the Supreme God. The Saint. That will, condensed through her existence as the apostle of the Supreme God. -Why can you... "I'm sorry. I briefly impersonated the Supreme God before, so I think that's why." -...Impersonated the Supreme God? Lindal felt pure confusion. Impersonating the Supreme God. It was undoubtedly the most ridiculous sentence he had ever heard. -Why on earth- no, how... And it was even successful. (E/N: That's absolutely ridiculous. Risir did not 'impersonate' the Supreme God. The 'Supreme' God impersonated Risir!)
