5. World’s End

“Moan, how old is Moan?”

“what?”

Moan flinched at Hoya’s sudden question.

“Hey, what’s that all of a sudden? You’re not asking a woman that kind of question!”

“Then, if it’s not about age, is it okay?”

“Ugh, yes, well.”

“Is Moan’s full name Moan Ensrai?”

Moan’s eyes widened at Hoya’s words.

Her face was as if she was saying how she knew, mixed with surprise.

Hoya explained what she had seen when she happened to go to the tower.

“I could be that person’s descendant, right?”

“She had no offspring of her to her.”

The only family in her family was Aaron Ensrai, the first horseman.

He was never married, so there can be no such thing as a descendant of him.

“……I see.”

Moan sighed a little.

Soon after, one of her magic circles shone at her feet, and her figure began to change gradually.

It was the woman depicted in the portrait of Moan En’s Lai who was present at the place where her magic circle disappeared.

Everything was the same, from her cotton candy-blue hair to her childish body.

“That’s right. My full name is Moan Ensrai. I’ve been a horseman before. I didn’t change my appearance to deceive you. It’s convenient in many ways to live my life.

“… that’s not her original figure, is it?”

“Huh?”

“As written in the book, Moan is now two hundred eight… Evil!”

“I’m not saying that exactly! And I was like this when I was over 100! Even now!”

Moan interrupted Hoya and threw a rocky chestnut on his head.

“So, have all your questions been answered?”

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Moan’s tenure as the chief of mato was very short compared to that of other matops.

The successive horse masters had reached a higher level of magic than anyone else.

Due to the effect, the aging of the body was slow, so most of the cases were at least 50 years sitting at the position of the chief of the mausoleum.

Even when she passed on the position of the chief of the horse tower to the next generation, she maintained her correct appearance.

Moan’s 24 year tenure was too short.

“Well, I have a lot of questions about it. Well, it’s not really a secret… I know it’s early, but I’ll tell you. Should I be punished?”

It was the first time that Moan’s bright smile felt frightening.

* * *

Moan fed Hoya one more chestnut instead of chestnut, and then walked out of town with him.

He actually flew through the sky using magic.

“Hoya, have you ever wondered why this place is the end of the earth?”

“No. Well, is it a metaphor?”

“No, this village is literally built on the edge of the earth.”

Moan, who flew with Hoya for a long time, landed with him on a wasteland.

“This is the end of the earth.”

“Yes?”

The place Moan pointed to was an endless wasteland.

Where do you see this is the end of the earth?

Moan, who immediately noticed Hoya’s question, continued.

“Follow me for now. Then you’ll know why this is the end of the earth.”

“Yes.”

“It’s dangerous, so don’t fall away from me.”

With the stick Moan was carrying, he hit the floor with beans.

Then, a magic circle about 3m in diameter appeared and surrounded the two with a wall of light.

After walking a few steps forward along Moan, Hoya felt a strange sensation.

It feels like something is passing the barrier.

There was obviously nothing, but it felt like I had passed the wall.

And immediately after receiving that feeling, Hoya’s vision changed to a completely different landscape.

At the bottom of the deep, deep cliff one step ahead, eerie dark energy gathered.

The gray-colored ground could be seen through the hole in which the black energy was slightly lifted.

swish.

When Hoya turned around, he saw the place where he and Moan had landed.

However, there was an invisible wall between it and Hoya.

There was an endless wall of countless magic circles that interlocked like cogs and rotated with a blue light.

As Hoya turned her head to her Moan as if asking for her explanation, she smiled and opened her mouth.

“It’s going to be a little old-fashioned.”

Before Initium opened yet.

So, a long time ago, known only as a record with no traces of players.

At that time, when the records of demons that do not even show any traces now remain, wizards gathered to build a tower to drive the demons out of the ground and protect the world.

That was the beginning of the tower.

Their first leader, the first horseman, Aaron Ensrai.

He was said to be the best wizard at the time and was Moan’s older brother who would later become a legend.

Aaron, who became the leader of the tower, continued his training and research on magic to drive the demons out of the ground.

He, on the one hand, educated wizards so that he would have the power to keep the world itself, even if he died.

Moan also belonged to one of the wizards being trained.

And the seeds of her talent planted in her grew faster and bigger than anyone else.

“Brother! Look at this! I can fly now!”

“Hahaha, did I tell you to call me Chief Ma’am in public?”

scary kid

He gave him only a few tricks, but in less than three days he made his floating magic completely his own.

When he saw Mo An using magic, he became a student rather than himself.

Aaron thought that he had grown to such a degree that he could trust and entrust his back.

Aaron wanted to have a serious conversation with Moan.

“Moan, do you know why this handsome and strong oppa gathered wizards to build a magic tower?”

“I don’t know my handsome and strong brother, but I do know why this genius wizard Moan’s brother built the tower. To drive the demons out of the ground and protect the world.”

“…Well, yes. It’s good to know you well.”

Aaron, who changed the mood while coughing, spoke with a serious voice to Moan.

“Moan, there are limits to even repeating subjugation of visible demons like now. So I will drive them to a place where people can’t reach, where people don’t even know they exist. Preparations are all over.”

“What do you mean all of a sudden?”

“By driving the demons into one place, dividing the world itself, putting a barrier there, others will distort and hide the surroundings so that neither the place nor the existence of it can be known.”

“Are you crazy, oppa? There’s no way that’s possible! To divide the world… If it were possible, how much money and magic would it take… Oppa?!”

Moan used magic to examine Aron’s body and dyed his eyes red as if he was about to cry.

The presence felt in Aaron was not that of a living person.

“Hahaha, I hid it by saying I hid it, but you found out. …don’t cry, Moan. The next 10 years. I hope that you will develop the strength to follow me and maintain the tower.”

“……”

Moan suppressed the anger and tears that were about to burst out.

He wanted to ask what world peace meant that he had to make such a choice.

Do you want to protect this world even when you are not human?

Is it okay if he doesn’t exist in the world he protects?

I wanted to shout like that.

Then I wanted to ask, what does that mean?

I wanted to say that each day I live with my family is more important than the world.

His body was already dead.

magic itself. He abandoned his human body.

Although he was close to a spirit, it was different from the spirit, whose natural magic awakens himself and breathes life.He was nothing more than a mass of forcibly gathered magic power.

Since there is no vessel called the human body, there is no limit, so you can accumulate magic without limits, but if you use all of the magical power you have gathered even once, the power you have gathered will be scattered and disappear.

“Please.”

He wanted to ask why he hadn’t told him beforehand, but the answer was obvious.

He probably didn’t tell himself because he would have prevented him from doing that if he had known beforehand.

Moan nodded at him without saying a word.

He couldn’t deny what Aaron was trying to achieve by giving himself up.

After that, Moan worked hard to become strong enough to be tenacious, subjugated the demons, and prepared to succeed Aaron, and prepare to succeed the position of chieftain.

The mage tower is the seat of the strongest wizard.

People recognized Moan as the second strongest wizard after Aaron.

The growth he had shown in recent years was judged to outweigh Aaron when he was the same age as when he built the tower, so there was no objection to Mo An’s position as the head of the tower.

Immediately after Moan took over the position of chief of the tower according to Aaron’s will, she has grown to an enormous size and mobilized all the magicians of the tower that have grown to the present day, subjugating the demons and driving them to one place and to the place Aaron said.

When the demons arrived, Aaron cast his final magic.

Aaron first divided a part of the world where the demons were clustered so that it was not this world.

And at the point connected to this world, he built a barrier made up of hundreds or tens of millions of small magic circles to block the entrance, distort the space around it, and prevent people from coming into contact with it.

Moan, the only one who knew exactly the place and could approach it, followed his will and managed and repaired the barrier.

The demons disappeared from the earth by Aaron’s power, but his achievements are not accurately recorded, and it is only recorded that he died in the last battle with his demons.

It was because of his will to prevent the wicked from knowing the existence of the demon world, the land of demons.

Mo-an is the only one who has come to know the truth.

After the demons disappeared from the land, Mo An did not want Aaron’s sacrifice to collapse, so she maintained her position as the chief of the tower and went to repair the barrier.

However, he soon decided that it would be unreasonable for him to continue in the position of the chief of the tower, so he passed the position of the chief of the tower to the next generation.

Moved by her noble sacrifice and her will in her Aaron and her mother, her 3rd turret chief made a promise and realized that her turret chiefs would help her from generation to generation.

Moan, based in the land where the entrance to the demon realm is located, in a place that Aaron cut off from the world, managed the barrier so that demons could not cross over whenever there was a gap.

And in order to maintain the world that was Aaron’s ideal, Moan gradually appeases his enmity and finds people who will give him strength and make them his own.

At first, he was an archer who shot powerful arrows of hundreds of feet.

Then there is the blacksmith who makes better weapons than anyone else.

And the explorer who said no place in the world did not set foot.

A paladin who was the guardian knight of the saint.

An upright fighter with a sense of justice.

A knight who was the best sword of his time.

The chef who created the best taste.

Gathering them, Moan made a small village in front of it.

For the world, for myself, to find a place to be.

For different reasons, they all became residents of Ordo.

Ordo, the village at the edge of the earth.

It is a village where legends left in history live.
