You call this magic?

Its effect can pull the target into the past that the target misses most at that time, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, this magic must invade the nervous system through the human right eye, so as long as the right eye is blind, one can miraculously become immune to this magic.

After triggering the trap, Minus was immediately pulled into the dream of the past and fell into a deep sleep without any resistance.

At the same time, the little golem in the treasure chest touched Minus's head with its hand and activated the [Soul Transfer Magic].

So, from that moment on, Minus was no longer Minus, but a nameless demon sealed in the golem.

The real Minus' soul was forced into a specially made golem. Apart from the [Soul Transfer Magic], this golem could not cast any other magic.

Of course, Minus could try to exchange it back. After all, she had successfully learned this magic. However, for the short-legged golem, it was almost impossible to touch the forehead of the "Great Magician Minus".

Minus easily figured out the connection between this magic trap from the mythological era.

The magic seal on the treasure chest is to screen out strong people who can break the seal. The internal traps and restrictions of the golem are to ensure that the soul in the golem can be smoothly transferred to the body of the strong person who can break the seal.

This is an elaborately designed trap, and its purpose is not difficult to guess. It is to hide itself from those well-known strong men in the mythological era, and then linger on until the future when no one knows the truth, and then take over another body and be reborn.

It is obvious that the soul hidden in the little golem is an extremely despicable existence.

But who is Minus? He is one of the three great magicians and is definitely not someone who will sit and wait for death.

Because of his great trust in the magical restrictions of the little golem, the demon completely ignored all of Minus's actions, which also gave Minus the opportunity to play freely.

It took a long time for Minus to reverse analyze the design of the golem and found a loophole in it.

That is, as long as she can disguise other magic as [Soul Transfer Magic], she can release it.

It took another period of time for Minus to study [Past Dream Magic] and [Soul Transfer Magic] day and night. Not only did she develop the magic to crack [Past Dream Magic], she also successfully disguised it as [Soul Transfer Magic] and engraved it into her holy staff certificate.

Similarly, in order to select strong people who can fight against her former self, she also made certain restrictions on the box where the Holy Staff Certificate was stored. If the Holy Staff Certificate was directly handed over to an ordinary person, it would be meaningless if it could only break the [Past Dream Magic]. Therefore, at least the magic power must reach the standard she recognized.

During this time, she had seen countless beings trying to defeat Minus, but only a few were able to come to her and possess the magic power she recognized.

Until Ethan arrived after the demons pushed their front line into the city.

From the first moment she saw him, she decided to trust this boy.

Because she smelled the aura of a powerful elf on Ethan, the person who taught him magic must be an elf magician.

As for Levi, the sight of her being a Magic Empire person gave off an air of untrustworthiness, so she never appeared in Levi's sight.

In the end, Ethan did not disappoint her expectations.

The demon was successfully killed, and she could have taken the opportunity to leave and choose another human body to survive, but she didn't.

Even if there is only one person, she wants to let the other person know the truth. She is not a "rebellious witch" and the elf who destroyed half of the southern countries is not her at all.

As long as someone still remembers her and knows that she is not a bad person, she can go to heaven with peace of mind.

Having committed murder with her physical body, she knew that she should die now.

[As for me, I no longer have the right to live.] Minusi had a bright smile on her face.

But if you ask whether she is afraid of death, of course she is.

There is no one who is not afraid of death, not even elves.

Relief, guilt, and fear intertwined together, Minus's face showed a vulnerability that no one had ever seen except herself and Ethan who was standing there.

I'm sorry, everyone. I'm sorry... I'm sorry to everyone who was killed by these hands. I'm sorry. I hurt you all. I'm sorry...

Her soul was crying.

Sadness, pain, regret, shame.

Everyone says that elves are emotionally indifferent, but they simply haven't learned how to express themselves, or perhaps it's because they've experienced too much. If they don't hide their feelings, how painful their lives will be.

[It looks like time is almost up.] Minus put her hands behind her back and approached Ethan boldly, gently standing on tiptoe.

He placed a kiss of thanks on Ethan's face.

"Thank you, my dear human. Thank you... for killing me."

He felt nothing, but the emotion was transmitted from the depths of his soul that was about to dissipate.

Ethan lowered his head, staring intently at the motionless little golem.

The lines on it are now clearly visible.

……

Fulilian opened her eyes, stared at the ceiling for a while, turned over habitually, and prepared to take a nap.

Three seconds later.

She sat up again.

"wrong."

As she woke up, her mind finally recalled the memories before she fell asleep.

"Ethan?!"

At this moment, Fulilian's mind was fully awake. She immediately got up from the bed and picked up the wand and box beside the bed.

'No, I didn't take off my clothes?'

Fulilian realized again that she was fully dressed.

'Where is this?'

Looking around, she found that she seemed to be in a hotel room she had never seen before, and it seemed to be a single room.

'That magic...' Frillian's expression was quite ugly. She had recognized the true identity of [Dream Magic of the Past] at the first moment. It was magic from the mythological period. She had only heard of it from Flame. It was a terrible magic that even Celie didn't like very much.

Minus, do you even know this magic?

Fulilian opened the door with a heavy heart, intending to find out what was going on, and most importantly, where had Ethan gone? Was he in the room next to her?

However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Haita who was about to knock on the door.

"...Haita? You're here?"

"Calculating the time, you should be waking up soon, so I came... It seems just in time." Haita had a rather generous smile on his face. "Do you know that Ethan did something earth-shattering this time?"

"?"

PS: Happy New Year everyone

PS2: The information I wrote down suddenly disappeared. Oh my god, I clearly didn’t touch the computer!

Volume 1: The Fall of Fulilian (I): Chapter 39: I Must Speed ​​Up My Growth (Revised)

After confirming Minus's death, the sleeping citizens woke up one after another.

After this, the city, having lost its political center, will usher in a brief period of chaos, but now that there is no demonic threat, it is only a matter of time before order is restored.

The only ones who suffered heavy losses were probably the professionals with combat capabilities.

They were transformed into golems by Minus and had their original bodies destroyed. After Minus's death, their souls would go to a heaven whose existence is unknown.

Political representatives from all over the southern countries, as well as organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Adventurer's Guild, expressed their congratulations and provided all the resources and supplies the city currently needed to help it rebuild.

But the most crucial thing is that no one knows the identity of the hero who killed Minus.

Ethan did not publicize this matter in a big way, but asked the monks led by Haita to keep it strictly confidential.

In essence, Ethan did not defeat the real Minus, but a fake who hardly used magic, so he thought it would be harmful rather than beneficial to blow it out now.

The process by which the brave team defeated the Demon King was also the only route to kill the Demon King that they accidentally found among millions of possibilities.

In Fulilian's words, they have been experiencing "continuous miracles" since they entered the Demon King's Castle.

Ethan quite agreed with this. He couldn't even imagine what he would do if he met the real Minus. After thinking about it, it seemed that he could only respond to each move, and in the end it would still come down to a competition of magic.

In that case, it is still unknown what chances he has of winning against the real Minus.

Reality is not a game. You won’t start encountering level 50 monsters until you reach level 50.

You may encounter a level 10 enemy at level 1. This is the reality.

He must become stronger and stronger until he is strong enough to take on anyone's challenge.

……

After a brief mourning for the deceased, the city began a victory carnival. Even though they didn't know who the hero was, it didn't stop them from singing to their heart's content and expressing their most sincere gratitude to the hero who saved their lives.

Some say that the one who defeated Minus was the reincarnation of the brave man, while others say that the one who defeated Minus was a disciple she personally trained.

Anyway, people say all kinds of things, but no one would think that Ethan, who was walking on the side of the road, was the hero who saved them.

When people in the city began to party, Ethan avoided everyone and walked out of the city alone.

He has one thing to do.

"Where are you going, hero?"

As soon as he walked out of the city gate, Ethan met a person who surprised him.

"Lord Haita? Please don't spread rumors. I'm not a hero." Ethan said with a smile.

Haita just smiled slightly: "Would you like to take a walk with me, old man? I am old and not used to the overly lively environment anymore."

He looked like he wanted to say something, so Ethan nodded in agreement: "No problem... But, where's Master?"

"She's already dove headfirst into the magic shop, even though the manager's gone off to party... well, whatever. This is more in line with her personality."

"...Indeed." Ethan smiled helplessly.

Regarding Ethan's feat, Fulilian acted quite calmly. She smiled, gave him a thumbs-up and said "well done" which was all the praise she could give to Ethan this time.

That's right, Fulilian killed the Demon King, so it's reasonable for the apprentice to kill a great magician.

What the hell is reasonable!

Ethan was a little annoyed, but he quickly understood his master's mentality.

After all, for Frillian, since Minus is dead, the matter is over. No matter how big a fuss it makes now, in a hundred years or even a thousand years, this matter may just be a sentence in history books.

After the dark clouds dispersed, the sun shone across the earth. On the hills in the suburbs, birds were singing, flowers were blooming, and the air was fresh. It was a great place for an outing.

At least Haita looked very satisfied.

"Ethan, look, this is the perfect viewing spot I found in this city when I was young. Isn't it nice?" Haita casually found a stone to sit on when he reached a cliff. From this position, he could directly overlook the entire city. "But I didn't expect that since then, everything has changed when I came to this place again."

"It's really good." Ethan stood beside Haita.

"But thank you, Ethan, at least you let me, an old man, see this kind of scenery again."

“It’s a pity that the City Hall was bombed.”

Ethan's gaze rested on the destroyed city hall. From this angle, he noticed that a single cremation strike had such exaggerated destructive power.

Next time, don't use this trick in the city.

"It doesn't matter. No matter how much damage is done, as long as the people are still there, it will be rebuilt sooner or later. Haven't you seen it all along the way?"

"You're right."

The two of them admired the scenery in silence for a while before Haita broke the silence.

"I'm glad that you didn't let the victory so close blind you and made the right choice."

"Anyone with a little common sense knows that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind," Ethan said. "At least for me right now, becoming famous doesn't do me much good."

"But, that Imperial will probably report your intelligence, right?"

"Probably." Ethan also had a headache. The situation at that time did not allow him to make any choice. The demon Minus was about to be killed. If I gave up this opportunity and ran to chase my teammates, wouldn't that be a complete idiot?

I can only say that Levi is indeed very smart and the timing of his escape is just right, otherwise he might really stay here.

And to be honest, Ethan had no magic at the time, so it was still unknown who would win or lose.

"However, you can rest assured. As long as you remain in the center and the south, the Empire will be powerless to touch you. I swear this as the Bishop of the Holy Metropolis." Haita's face was serious. "Flillian currently has no plans to travel north. Take this opportunity to become as strong as you can. If you can become stronger than anyone else, not even the Empire will be able to do anything to you."

"Okay, let's stop talking about unhappy topics... Let's go back."

"Lord Haita, will you stay here?"

"It will probably go north. This city doesn't need our concern anymore. The cities to the north need our help more."

The two men smiled and stood up, but Ethan suddenly saw something with his sharp eyes.

This is the edge of a cliff, so naturally you can also see other cliff mouths not far away.

There seemed to be someone standing on the edge of the cliff, but because the distance was too far, Ethan couldn't see it clearly.
