The Great Ancient Wizard, Enter Additional Scenarios (5)

  “From here on out, you have to follow mommy’s instructions. Okay?”


  “Yes!”


  “The air feels a little sweet. It’s weird…….”


  Elizabeth, Eir, and Rose were moving to the outskirts of the Demon Realm. As she approached the Demon Realm, Rose felt her fading memories return. When she was young, she was swayed by her instincts as a Mahwa. A time when she could only think about trampling the living, using that as a foothold to make the Mahwa race prosper.

  ‘Enemies who couldn’t even identify our shape trampled on us. But it was a strange thing. I’m sure I’ve confronted them directly.’


  More than 90% of demons were killed in the battle; it was a tragedy. Their abilities didn’t work on the invaders at all, nor did their pure powers, so Rose, then Queen Rose, retreated with the survivors. And she was trapped inside by opening a barrier that no one else could encounter.

  ‘But now that I think about it, it was a strange thing…Yeah, I didn’t have the strength to make up my mind when I was young.’


  Rose, of course, was born with great power as the Queen of the Mahwa Tribe. However, that didn’t mean she could protect the large land that housed the entire Tribe from the Demon King. Then, how did the decision unfold? How did she maintain it? How did she feel nothing strange in the process?

  ‘Now I know why.’


  It was because her future self interfered. If the battle happened now, she would have a decisive influence over the Demon Tribe. It was as easy to accomplish as manipulating memories and breathing. It was ridiculous.

  Rose smiled bitterly as she recalled the distant past. Seeing it, Eir tilted her head and asked her.

  “What’s wrong, Mom? Does it hurt? Do you want me to blow on it for you?”


  “Mommy’s fine, my baby.”


  Rose replied with a bitter smile at Eir’s appearance, although it was safe to say that she was already an adult. One of the characteristics of the Demons was that the inner and outer sides were inversely proportional. Her daughter’s transformation into a Demon was filled with half joy and half sorrow.

  ‘I’m also changed by Bernard and Illoin.’


  Due to the pride of being the Queen of the Mahwa Tribe, she used to bluff and insisted in front of them, but she didn’t anymore. That family was much more precious than the distinction between Demons.

  “If I find out about myself here, I may be ashamed to leave.”


  “Rose?”


  “Eir, little girl. Both of you, come this way.”


  As Eir and Elizabeth approached, Rose created a barrier with her power. Of course, it was with the determination not to be invaded by the Mahwa Tribe. No matter how strong the person is, it wasn’t easy to resist if the Mahwa Tribe wormed their way into their body. The two may overcome it without difficulty, but even so, she wanted to make them safer.

  “Come on; then I’ll go inside Eir’s head.”


  “Rose, are you hiding?”


  “Yes, I’m hiding from a shameful past.”


  It must have been a little difficult for Eir to understand what that meant. She grinned at Eir tilting her head and made her body smaller so she could crawl into Eir’s chest.

  “Then let’s go. Everything we encounter from now on is to be thoroughly destroyed unless I tell you not to.”


  “Yes!”


  “It’s nice that there are a lot of things to break here!”


  Eir held a two-handed gun and loaded it, while Elizabeth smiled brightly, taking complete control of the magic in the two Morningstars. When it came to the energy felt, they were two rare Demons who exceeded the ten strongest of the Demon Race.

  – It’s the energy of a Demon-

  I didn’t know the idiots would come on their own.

  – It’s a powerful energy. I want to give that body to my child.

  How far did they go? Even though they couldn’t see anything yet, such whispers began to come from all around.

  – The left one is mine-

  Then I want the right one.

  The constant murmur and the feeling of something getting closer. Elizabeth noticed the sweet air she had felt so far. There were such things in the dungeon, tempting with a sweet smell. They were all…like this!

  “Hey!”


  As soon as the rune of Surisaz glowed, the morningstar she wielded danced in the air with a beautiful rainbow curve. The invisible spores in the trajectory disintegrated and dissipated.

  “Wow!”


  Elizabeth let out an innocent exclamation.

  “There are microscopic enemies!”


  “They’re like germs, kid.”


  “Germs…?”


  “Yes.”


  Rose continued without noticing Elizabeth’s strange expression.

  “It hurts when it goes into our bodies. So, we’re going to get rid of them.”


  “Germs…are bad.”


  Elizabeth looked up. She now recalled the only painful moment in her life. If it weren’t for Evan, her life would have ended that day. Elizabeth didn’t forget the time when she made everyone cry.

  “We need to get rid of all the germs.”


  “Yes, Uhhm…but not all of them.”


  “We have to get rid of them all.”


  Elizabeth nodded and murmured, raising her weapons as she galloped forward.

  “We have to get rid of all the bad things like germs!”


  “So, if you get rid of everything, I’ll…little girl?”


  “Wow!”


  The destroyer’s race had begun. Although it was challenging to find the Mahwa Tribe spreading through the spores in the air, every time she swung a Morningstar, all the Mahwa Tribe’s spores within a specific range were popping.

  “Eir.”


  “Why, Rose?”


  “I think Eir needs to save mommy.”


  “I’ll try!”


  The disaster had begun. The Mahwa Tribe would remember it as the day of the kingdom’s collapse.

  [So, it won’t take too long to get back. I’m sorry to have worried you. You can’t force yourself to find me for no reason. If you wait, I’ll go back. I love you, Lua.]

  [So, it won’t take too long to get back. I’m sorry to have worried you. You can’t force yourself to find me for no reason. If you wait, I’ll go back. I love you, Lua.]

  “Oh, for how long are you going to keep listening to that!”


  “Stupid Shine, just shut up.”


  Through communication magic, Belois, who was listening to Evan’s message repeatedly, answered Shine’s tackle with her bright red eyes.

  “I’m teaching my child prenatally what their father’s voice sounds like.”


  “What kind of prenatal is that? It’s a pseudo-religion! The baby inside your stomach must be frightened, too.”


  Shine’s tackle was as accurate and unfriendly as ever. Belois stared at Shine with a look as if she were looking at the killer who murdered her parents and soon turned her head with a smile.

  “Hurry up and get out of here. Because it’s not good for my child.”


  “We found a fissure in the Spirit Realm.”


  “…So?”


  It was something that happened a lot these days. It was also said that more than ten cracks appeared in the Merdin Empire, which began to eat up three kingdoms, earning it the title of empire. But this crack was shown in the Silk Line.

  “It must have been so strong, and a lot of lives must’ve been lost. I think we should step up.”


  “Whoo.”


  She was expecting Evan’s fakes to appear because of the crack. Belois rose from her seat with a sigh of disappointment. Considering that even the pregnant woman came to help, the crack seemed to be quite formidable.

  “Why does the crack keep popping up when you’re not here?”


  “Because the Master exists in this world.”


  With Shine’s confession, Belois, wearing a witch’s cape over her casual clothes, took her Orb and answered back cynically.

  “The present and the past are connected through the Master. That’s why the Spirit Realm cracks are coming from ancient times.”


  “Then how likely is it that Master can go through there and come back?”


  “There’s a chance, but he won’t be back until he settles everything there.”


  If hearing Evan’s message thousands and tens of thousands of times made her realize something again, Evan is where he needed to be now…it seemed that he felt a sense of purpose to accomplish his mission.

  “As always, Master may be mistaken.”


  “What?”


  “But perhaps this world is built on master’s illusion.”


  “I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you’re saying.”


  “This world is a wonderful form of wrong answers written by the Master.”


  He couldn’t understand the story anymore. Shine looked at Belois with a look of wanting to hit her, but Belois took all her equipment and opened the door without looking back at him. She knocked on Arisha’s room nearby.

  “My Lady, Astray is on the move. There must be a serious crack in the Spirit Realm.”


  There was no answer. Belois knocked a few more times and went into the room. The window was covered with curtains, so it was very dark in the room, and it seemed to be quiet. The first thing she heard was Evan’s voice.

  [I believe Arisha will take good care of the members while I’m away. I love you.]

  [I believe Arisha will take good care of the members while I’m away. I love you.]

  [I believe Arisha will take good care of the members while I’m away. I love you.]

  [I believe Arisha will take good care of the members while I’m away. I love you.]

  [I believe Arisha will take good care of the members while I’m away. I love you.]

  [I believe Arisha will take good care of the members while I’m away. I love you.]

  [I believe Arisha will take good care of the members while I’m away. I love you.]

  “Is it the same here too?!”


  “What, Shine…? Belois?”


  Arisha came to her senses with Shine’s shouting and got up from her chair to look back at them. Her eyes soon returned, and she woke up to find her sanity and coughed in vain.

  “It’s just for a second. Just for a minute when I want to hear Evan’s voice…”


  “My Lady, it’s a crack. All members of the Astray Knights have been called. “


  “What about the Eternal Glacier?”


  “Paul is there right now.”


  “Oh, right. What about the rest…?”


  Arisha opened the curtain and tilted her head.

  “It was night a while ago…when did it become daytime?”


  “…Lady Arisha?”


  “I was just going to listen to Evan’s voice a little bit before I went to bed…”


  That was to say that she stayed up all night. Shine began to grow scared of these women.

  ‘I don’t know about Belois, but Arisha was pretty good at overcoming Evan, but why did this happen?’


  No, he knew the reason roughly.

  “But it’s okay. My level is uselessly high, so it doesn’t matter even if I don’t sleep for a few days.”


  “A few days? Did you just say a few days?”


  “Let’s go. I’ll take Serena with me.”


  Arisha quickly put on her armor and came out of the room. Shine was determined and found Serena with the two women, and fortunately, she wasn’t listening to Evan. Instead, she was squatting on a flower bed and touching the soil with her hands.

  “Your Highness, you didn’t regress to an infantile stage, did you…?”


  “I just remembered the first day I met Evan.”


  Feeling the three approaching, Serena stood up from her seat and smiled back. Lucy, running around near her, washed her dirty hands neatly as she stretched her hands forward.

  “Somehow, I felt like Oppa was thinking of me right now. The worm, he said I’d be able to tame it one day. It’s been a while since I tried it, but it’s not working. Hehe.”


  “Thank you for your impressive memories, Your Highness, but now we have to go to fight.”


  “You guys are so far from romantic.”


  Serena grumbled and flicked her finger. Over the Astray Knights headquarters building, a giant dragon spread its enormous wings and howled!

  [Qoooooooooooooooooo!]

  “How long have you been practicing that?”


  “Three days. Look, it’s perfect. All the kids are running out, right?”


  Indeed, Serena’s words weren’t wrong. What the hell was going on? The Astray Knights and the whole neighborhood were running out!

  “Use magic that makes your voice loud so that we can alert the others!”


  “All we need to do is to gather the kids together!”


  Serena pouted her lips and ran to Gnar. Shine sighed and gave a brief explanation of the situation to the members who ran out, and Arisha suddenly asked him a question.

  “So, Shine, did you hear which monster appeared?”


  “Oh, yes, I heard. I’m afraid it’s a lie, though.”


  Shine replied with a bitter smile.

  “Do you think that makes sense that it’s the right arm of a sealed demon?”
