149. Side Story – A Tale of the Past – 2

“Ah, those were the days.”

My apologies.

Kirke’s voice was tinged with embarrassment.

Listening to her, he moved his hand.

The baby’s hand moved, healing the woman’s wound.

“Ah… ugh… ah…?”

The hole where blood gushed out was filled, and the bleeding stopped.

Having saved her, he flew to the woman and tapped her face.

“Hey. Wake up.”

“Ah… baby…?”

“Yeah. Your baby.”

“Gasp….”

The witch was surprised that the baby could talk.

He grinned at her.

“I don’t know where the story that a witch giving birth to a boy means the reincarnation of Keltued came from… but it seems to be true.”

“…Baby…? My baby… what did you do to my baby…!”

“You seem to be misunderstanding something. Your baby probably… died in the womb. The soul itself couldn’t settle. Did something happen during the pregnancy?”

The baby floating in the air was speaking very naturally.

The woman, staring blankly at the baby she had given birth to in pain, covered her face.

“Ah… because of the witch hunt… I was hunted… maybe… maybe then.”

“Ah. I see.”

She must have miscarried while being chased in the witch hunt.

But the witch’s magic must have prevented her miscarriage.

“Even if you had given birth as it was, a dead baby would have come out.”

He spoke coldly, and the woman finally burst into tears.

Patting her, he continued calmly.

“Cheer up. I’m saying this in case you misunderstand, but I didn’t kill it.”

“Sniff… sob. Sniff….”

“Comfort doesn’t work.”

A mother who has lost her child is always like that.

The best thing is to make her lose her memory.

To completely cut off the memory of having a child.

And to let her live a peaceful life.

When Kirke suggested a method, he shook his head.

“You only do that after getting the other person’s consent.”

Understood.

“Now. I’ll ask you. Do you want revenge on those who made you like this? If you want power, I’ll give you power.”

But the woman just cried.

She despaired in too much pain and gave up on getting up.

Looking at her with pity, he sighed.

“Is that so? If that’s your choice, I can’t help it.”

“I… I… I….”

“Go back. Live peacefully.”

-Crack!

The baby’s body floating in the air twisted.

The woman was startled the moment she heard it.

The newborn baby is changing.

The baby’s time was flowing quickly, and he was growing.

In an instant, he grew into a boy who looked about 8 years old, and he took the woman’s hand.

“If you want, I can erase your memories.”

“…It’s okay…. But. But are you really the Sage Keltued… ?”

“Yes.”

“Then….”

She clenched her fist tightly.

“Please save the witches. Please save the witches who have become enemies of the world. I beg you….”

Looking down at her, Keltued chuckled.

“I was going to do that anyway.”

The woman who gave birth to Keltued eventually left.

She said it would be okay to go together, but she said she would only be a hindrance.

As she left with a tired face without receiving anything from him, Keltued was alone again.

But I’m here.

“That’s right. Hmm. How many years have passed since I left here?”

Connecting to the truth.

717 years have passed.

“It’s been quite a while. By the way, a god. Kirke. Is there a god in this world? I think I erased it last time.”

There is no god in this world.

“Then it’s the same as humans creating gods as they please. They wouldn’t be using divine power.”

Yes.

After the disappearance of Seraphias, humans wanted a god.

And they came to the conclusion that in order to revive that god, all the witches who had brought down the god had to be eliminated.

“Why did they come to that conclusion?”

Fanatics are always like that.

“I guess so.”

That’s why it became the age of witch hunts.

Connecting to the truth, she told him the results that had occurred in this era.

Keltued nodded and stretched out his hand into the air.

In this era.

Things that had been stored in this place where he used to live were taken out of the subspace.

Wearing the robe of a sage, he pondered and asked.

“But what about Woof Woof? He’s a dragon, so he should have quite a bit of lifespan left, right?”

He remains as the ruler of the Great Forest.

“I should go see him first.”

The Great Forest.

The place where the Sage Keltued and the Great Witch Kirke once lived had become a demon realm.

A place where no one could enter.

A place where only witches could live according to the sage’s will.

In the past, it was a place where those who wanted to gain knowledge gathered, but now it was different.

“Defeat the Beast King who protects the witches and revive our god!!”

An army holding Seraphias’ Divine Mark gathered in front of the Great Forest.

It was an army of tens of thousands.

As the heavily armed men glared at the forest, a black aura rippled in the forest.

“The Beast King’s forces are moving!!”

“Fight! Fight!!”

“Catch the witches and summon the god again!!”

The allied forces drafted from each country pointed their weapons at the forest.

Just as the war was about to begin.

Suddenly, a child appeared in front of the army.

It was a black-haired child wearing a white robe.

The leaders of the army felt a moment of embarrassment at the appearance of a child who should not be in this battlefield.

“What… is that.”

“Is it an envoy of the Beast King?!

“He suddenly appeared out of nowhere!! He’s a servant of the witch!!”

Madness to summon the god soared.

Vague hatred poured out towards the child who was not holding any weapons.

“I am King Keon III of the Oregon Kingdom and a follower of the light!! Who are you!! Are you truly a minion of the witch?!”

He asked in an arrogant tone, taking out a brilliant treasure sword.

The boy in the white robe stared at him and chuckled.

“Keltued.”

Keltued.

The embodiment of hatred who helped the witch and committed blasphemy.

Keon III was delighted that the enemy of God who had disappeared had reappeared in the world.

“Oh! The disappeared enemy of God has reappeared. Capture him and we can serve our god! Our master, Seraphias, again!!”

As he raised his treasure sword and shouted, everyone in the allied forces roared.

Horns blared and drums were beaten.

Keltued, watching them full of fighting spirit, raised his hand.

“Come. Woof Woof.”

-Boom!!

As he raised his hand, a black aura exploded in the sky.

While the horses, surprised by the power that shook the sky, were trembling, something flew up from the center of the Great Forest.

It was a huge dragon.

The Beast King Seth, full of hatred for humans, revealed himself to the world.

“It’s the Beast King!!”

“The Beast King has appeared… What.”

The army prepared to fight, anticipating the Beast King to attack.

But Seth did not attack.

Instead, he flew to the boy who identified himself as Keltued and simply lowered his huge head.

“Krrr… My master. You have finally returned. I have been waiting. I have been waiting. But… Kirke.”

“She’s with me. By the way, the situation seems unfavorable? It doesn’t seem like you’ve saved all the witches.”

“…I’m sorry. Krrr….”

As Seth apologized, exhaling through his nose, he shook his head.

“It’s okay. Anyway, I need to clean things up.”

Do you want to exclude humans from the components of this world?

‘Ah. Not that. Let’s just summon the Four Horsemen.’

Connecting to the world.

Proceeding with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse sequence.

Summoning of the Four Horsemen has been completed.

He pointed to the army.

“I only deal with those who want to resist me. I’m not interested in meaningless massacres.”

The moment he spoke.

The sky opened.

Something began to drip from the sky that opened with a black gap.

“H-Hik!”

“What?! What?!”

While those who were surprised by the bizarre phenomenon didn’t know what to do, Keltued flew into the sky.

“Now. I’ll make a suggestion. Those who want to fight, stay. But those who don’t want to die, run away.”

It was a calm voice, but everyone in the army could hear it.

Of course, there were those who were terrified by the fear created by the bizarre phenomenon.

Those who participated in the army according to orders, but valued their lives, were running away.

“I don’t fight with those who don’t want to fight. So I warn you for the last time.”

-Kwaa Kwakwaang!!

-Kyaaaa!

-Kkeuaaaa!!

A terrible sound was heard from the open sky.

As the fear was maximized, the army began to scatter.

“Krrr… As expected, you are my master….”

Those who were not afraid of his power and even the demon beasts were running away at Keltued’s words.

While Woof Woof was pleased with that, those who remained were screaming at the top of their lungs.

“Don’t run away!!”

“We have God behind us!!”

“Fight!! Fight!! If we catch Keltued, we win!!”

King Keon III shouted.

As those who had regained some morale with that strengthened their fighting spirit, Keltued looked around.

It seems like those who were going to leave have left.

“Then go.”

He lowered his raised hand.

At that moment, liquid fell from the sky. The moment the black liquid gathered and formed a pond.

It quickly began to change. It was a skeleton riding a white horse and holding a huge bow.

“White Rider.”

At the same time, a skeleton riding a red horse and holding a sword appeared from the pond.

“Red Rider.”

Behind the Red Rider, a skeleton riding a green horse and holding a scythe appeared.

“Green Rider.”

From the shadow created by the Green Rider’s green cloud, a skeleton riding a black horse and holding scales appears.

“Black Rider.”

The army of the Holy War Alliance trembled at their appearance.

They were instinctively afraid.

Because they knew that was death.

But Keltued did not stop.

“Start. Do not attack those who do not have the will to fight by confirming their hearts.”

The skeleton of the black horse with scales nodded.

Seeing that, he waved his hand, and a skeleton wearing a sacred robe appeared from the open sky.

With seven black wings, he raised the trumpet he was holding in his hand.

-Boo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo!!

The moment he blew the trumpet.

The four gathered riders moved.

And the tens of thousands of troops who were prepared for death were able to meet the death they desired in an instant.

The cleanup was quickly over.

The four riders who annihilated the army of the Holy War Alliance quickly spread out into the world.

To test and bring death to those who opposed the witch and wanted to revive Seraphias.

As they left, Keltued glanced at Seth.

“…Krrr… I’m sorry. Master. I made you use your power.”

“No. It’s easy to do this much since the collection of this world is over.”

Keltued, lightly putting his hand in his pocket, looked at the Great Forest.

“Is the house I lived in still there?”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s go.”

He headed home with Seth.

The old cabin had been maintained for over seven hundred years.

Sitting in the garden there, he raised his hand.

“Kirke. Are there still no worlds for me to go to??”

That’s right.

Currently, the seeds of the world are about to sprout.

Many worlds are always destroyed and newly created.

It was just a coincidence that the timing was right now.

“Then I’ll have some time left. Let’s go around and clean up the worlds we have until then.”

I will prepare.

As he sat cross-legged, Woof Woof spread his wings as if to protect him.

Woof Woof, covering him with his wings, body, and tail, closed his eyes.

Where would you like to go first?

“Hmm….”

He said calmly.

“Well. Should we do this randomly too?”
