91 – Life as a Mirror

Damn, why is that thing out there?

You said it was definitely sealed… !

Air… No, I was quite shocked by the sight of a magical beast flying underwater.

An eel-like monster is slowly entangling itself around the barrier outside the Dragon Palace.

Kuddeuddeuk… !!!

Slowly… The monster surrounds the dome with its body like a snake hunting, putting pressure on the dome with the intention of destroying it.

It is a barrier strong enough to block water pressure, but if it continues with that force, it will break and water will flow out.

“What does this mean? Ivan!”

The monster made such a loud noise that people who were hanging out at the bar came out gasping.

I pointed to Tina at the monster above her head.

Tina looked up over her head, following my hand on her, and she got so scared that she fell backwards and landed on her butt.

“That…” Leviathan… ?”

Yes, Leviathan.

The name of that inevitable demon beast.

There were rumors everywhere that it was definitely sealed, so why is it still walking around like that? ?

Every single hand is shaking like an aspen tree.

The fear of an overwhelming existence touches my survival instinct and causes fear.

I tightened my grip.

‘I’ve seen something bigger than that so many times, so what’s scary about it?’ Wake… ‘

I’m scared, but I’m not the type to break down over something like that.

I held out my hand to Tina who had fallen.

“Thank you… Amel, Amelia is okay… ?”

Tina is so frightened by Leviathan’s appearance that she can’t even speak.

But what about the saint? Are you okay, saint?

I hurriedly checked the saint’s condition.

Fortunately, the saint is asleep, stretched out on an outdoor table.

“You fell asleep. “She appears to be completely intoxicated.”

“Yes, yes. I’m glad… But Ivan… Well, that thing I’m looking at isn’t just because I’m drunk… ?”

“Yes… but… “I also want to believe that it’s just a drunken illusion.”

There is a commotion in the area.

Pedestrians scream in horror, and mermaids lose their minds in fear.

It is worth it.

Everyone would be terrified if they knew how much that monster tormented the mermaids.

Leviathan is the one who sank the southern continent, the home of the mermaids, and sank Riye beneath the sea.

The mermaids were unable to overcome Leviathan’s strength, so they borrowed the empire’s power as a condition for them to join the empire, and together with the empire, they managed to seal Leviathan.

A legendary beast that destroyed all of the imperial ships that went on the hunt in the process.

That is the fear of Leviathan.

“Let’s run away, Ivan…” ! If you leave the Dragon Palace even now… !”

“Unfortunately, I don’t think it will work. See it over there? “Leviathan surrounds the entire dome.”

From Noble mtl dot com

Leviathan has already wrapped the dome of the Dragon Palace with his own body.

The surroundings became dark due to the pitch-black body blocking the light, and the only place where light came was the small circle on the ceiling where Leviathan’s head was located.

In other words, there is no place to escape.

“Then what should I do! Are you telling me to die here without moving?!”

“…We should expect the higher-ups to solve the problem. That… “Because it’s not something that one individual can do.”

There is nothing we can do against that monster right now.

Whether the Empire comes to support us or the Dragon King shows up, we will be able to remove that monster from the dome.

I could solve it if I used the hand mirror and pendant I have… They are not for use now.

Right now, we can only hope that someone will save us.

Still, the Empire is quick to react, so if you hold out just a little longer, you will be rescued.

What a disaster…

When Leviathan puts pressure on the dome, it cracks and water pours out.

Hmm… I don’t know if the transparent dome will hold up until then.

Mermaids wouldn’t mind if the dome was full of water, but an ordinary human like me would drown.

I don’t want my end to be a miserable one where I die while struggling in the water.

Dom, please hold on until rescue comes…

I prayed earnestly with that hope.

Sure enough, as if my prayers had reached the sky, soldiers appeared, pushing away the terrified people.

All of the soldiers were carrying hard-looking shells.

Why is the Tetrion I met a few hours ago carrying around… The turtle shell.

“That’s Byeolju-gun!!!”

A drunkard nearby said in surprise.

Unlike the Byeolju Army and the Imperial Army, these are soldiers who were trained independently at the Dragon Palace.

Usually, to become a soldier in an empire, you have to go to military service and undergo various training and education, but it is said that Byeoljugun receives instructions from the Dragon King and learns special strategies and tactics.

All the knowledge learned from the Dragon King is confidential, so I don’t know what they are learning, but their skills are clear.

I understand that they solved many problems facing the empire and were also responsible for the sealing of Leviathan.

“I lived… Byeolju will save us….!”

Citizens cheered the appearance of Byeolju-gun.

They probably consider the Byeolju army to be an invincible army. You can tell the status of Byeoljugun in Yonggung just by looking at the praise promotional materials posted here and there in Yonggung.

What… You may really need to relax.

I don’t know their status or rumors, but it is true that they are veterans who went to war and achieved great results.

But the reason I can’t feel at ease is because I don’t know if Jodul is maintaining his normal condition.

After sealing Leviathan, the Byeolju Army participated in other battlefields to the point of unreasonableness.

No matter how much they are veterans, if they have experienced something big and have been left without a chance to properly rest, they will not be in the best condition.

“Everyone, raise the main guns and spears!”

Perhaps he sensed my anxiety, the person who appeared to be the leader of the Byeolju Army let out a loud roar.

The soldiers of Byeolju County then let out a shout.

I shook off all my anxiety with that momentum.

“hahahaha… “Isn’t that something I should worry about?”

The eyes and fighting spirit that seem to cut that eel into pieces at any moment.

It was momentary, but the momentum they showed surpassed the Leviathan surrounding the dome.

The Byeolju Army raised their weapons and aligned with Oh and began to advance toward Leviathan.

While I wait for Byeolju to defeat Leviathan, I should eat some popcorn…

I backed away, hoping that the situation would go away safely, but Tina grabbed my sleeve and pulled me down.

What is this person? I looked at it to see what that meant, and Tina slowly opened her mouth.

“Hey… Ivando, how about going with Byeolju to catch Leviathan?”

What?

What are you saying, this guy?

“Why me… ?”

I asked because I really didn’t know the English text.

Why am I, just a priest, next to those charismatic soldiers?

After making such a fuss, Tina begins to explain.

“No, Ivan said he served a lot on the front line… Obviously, many soldiers will be killed or injured to capture Leviathan, but wouldn’t the number of injuries be reduced if Ivan participates? Because I wanted to… ”

Hmm, are you worried about Byeolju-gun?

Well, Leviathan is not an ordinary monster, so it would take a lot of damage to subdue it.

With a small gesture, some people will turn into rat guns and die, and the contaminated magical energy radiating from their entire bodies will turn soldiers into mummies.

Young people who sacrificed their youth to become soldiers will die, and war heroes who traveled countless battlefields will die.

Ah… !

I tighten my head as my imagination overlaps with the nightmare I just had.

Do I have to watch someone die again?

Just because of incompetence… They don’t even come forward… ?

Don’t lie… I am capable.

Absolute values are very useful on the battlefield.

As long as you are alive, you can immediately treat the medical condition that is incapable of recovery.

Soldiers with the right mental strength can be immediately re-entered the battlefield.

With my abilities, I can save the humans who participated in the battlefield.

And yet… Was I trying to run away… ?

I received a big slap on the cheek.

“Are you okay, Ivan?!”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

“Then why did you slap yourself…” ?”

“I guess it’s a reflection of one’s own complacency.”

I am not the old me who only knew how to kill something but did not know how to save it.

Nevertheless, the sight of me trying to run away and give up again was so unpleasant that I hurt myself.

“Tina. “I have a favor to ask.”

“What?”

“Can you follow Byeolju-gun together? I think it would be a little more reassuring if Tina went with me… “

“Ivan… ! After all, you are a good guy! You don’t want to see soldiers getting hurt, right? Okay! “I will especially follow along with you.”

Surprisingly, Tina innocently decided to follow me.

Normally, I would have tried to run away for some reason… Am I so drunk that I can’t discern between right and wrong?

Well, I’m fine.

It looks like she’s dragging Tina to hell, but Tina will be carrying it with her sword, so there’s no need to worry about her getting hurt.

I looked at my face in a hand mirror before following Byeolju.

What is reflected in the mirror is a handsome young man with silver hair and black eyes.

Very… Ivan resembles Eve.

‘If you decide to live as a mirror, play Eve until the end. You… ‘Because I have to make my wish come true.’

After making my final resolution, I put the hand mirror in my arms.

Everything for the day to come.

For the day when I will purify and save the world with my own hands.

I am ready to burn my body.
