It was not my complacency, I have been through a lot as a human and as a seraph. From the moment I was rescued and raised by mercenaries as orphans, and later became assassins when they got into trouble, and then became the leader of the organization. The leader of a regular caravan on the surface, but a the assassination organization behind.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAAWJzMKY6hq
Do you think this is the end of my life? No, that's just the beginning.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAtgObfsxUM7
After that, I met Princess Alisha of Hyland and Shepherd Sorey by chance because of an assassination commission. They are very strange, they are not people who act for their own selfish desires, so unusual that I once thought they were pretending to deceive the people. But After a few observations, I found that they were idiots who really wanted to help others. By chance, I teamed up with Sorey, just at the time when the princess and Sorey parted ways, and I became his second squire.
Along the way, I saw the world I've never seen, and wanting to protect these new things that suddenly caught my eye, I share the same goal with Sorey. At the end of my journey with him, he chose to leave me alone and kill the Lord of Calamity, and purify Maotelus with his own slumber. I inherited his dream to be the next Shepherd.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAvar7yvGWRy
'Inheriting his dream' may be too great, I just think it can make the world a better place and have a chance to make a lot of money. After all, the business environment of prosperity in the world needs a peaceful environment to build.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA1r3uHedsMG
The Hyland Princess is a bit naive, but her ideals and consciousness are real. After the Lord of Calamity fell and the two states reached a peace agreement. She understood Sorey's dream. She fights not only for her own country and citizens, but also for world peace. She has the same wish as ours, and then becomes our companion. She decides to live as a Shepherd’s squire, a knight, and a queen at the same time. We do our best for peace and prosperity in order to establish an environment for human peace and the coexistence of humans and the seraphim.
We explored the ruins to find records of the prosperity of seraphim and Humankind in the past, as well as artifacts that I could steal and sell.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAfJWyaOT6vZ
We found the records of the Shepherd Artorius era, the record was very lacking and full of loopholes, it is only clear that an organization called ‘Abbey’ was established in this era, and the people and the seraphim together fought the daemon, and the era returned into chaos with the Shepherd and Lord of Calamity perished together.
Although we didn’t understand the principle and process, we imitated the establishment of the common organization of human beings and the seraphim, and strived to realize the vision.
Under the enthusiasm, we did not realize that time flies, and we did not realize that we were already old. It is just that the beat resounding in our hearts has not slowed down or stopped, we wanted to continue to finish unfinished things even if we are no longer human, we wanted to see Sorey wake up and see the world.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAiaSiu3aaTA
When we realize it, we are already infected with his enthusiasm.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAPuaYFjwrw7
We sacrificed our souls, as the study in Artorius’s record saying method to reincarnate as seraphim, and continued to develop this place. Everything is not the end, but another beginning. Because of such a complex experience, we have become the leaders of this place, looking forward to the future of human beings and seraphim.
Yet, for the view like Ragnarok for the first time I see now, and I hope this is the last.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAZbKsOofP7I
Thinking of this, I start to show battle clips with CROW's flying camera shoots the parts that the masses need to know, and stabilizes their hearts that may collapse at any time. They will see the battle on the front lines, and see that there is only one dragon left, but I can't let them see the corpses stacked behind them. If Alisha knew this, I would definitely be blamed , but in order to stabilize people's emotions, I have no other way. A local government will control news and stabilize people's emotions. I used to hate this kind of practice, but I didn't expect that I would make the same decision today. However, I have to do it. Neither humans nor seraphim can afford to be attacked from behind, nor can I allow hellionize to happen.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA9Qa3RPXNle
The soldiers on the front line are gradually accumulating physical and mental exhaustion , we have no advantage since the beginning of this battle, and now the good situation is over, the vitality is severely damaged, and I really have no good plan to support. At this time, I gave Alisha the full command and took Ophelia and Rokuro to seek assistance . Unlike Ophelia, a free woman, Rokuro is one of the commanders of the front line. Even so, I still let him go with him without hesitating to instruct the troops to rest. In order to show my sincerity – if I can't ask the other side for assistance, then we will lose this battle. Even if Velvet and Sorey defeat each other, our town will be destroyed long ago, and the soldiers will be buried with them.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAIhbQNKzHMx
Before being a seraph, I was a human, and I know that we cannot rely on our own strength when we are weak. To survive, intelligence and knowledge are our important weapons and assets.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAm5SIFOnKJ2
After meeting with Sorey and the others, and the war came to an end, this is the third time we have gone to ask her for assistance.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA7GsVdnGzK0
We knocked on the door of her house, and this time Grimoirh came out to greet us.
"....Anyway, let's come and have a cup of tea." She looked a little helpless at our arrival and let us in.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAmIMTXn8eyk
"You have asked many times, but I'm just a weakling Normin, I can't help you. I just want to continue living here quietly." Grimoirh expressed her opinion straight to the point, she had no intention of helping.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA4VfacJEAoe
"Please forgive me for interrupting you life many times, even though the people are in dire straits now. We still want to seek your assistance."
At this moment, I no longer have any bargaining chips to trade, and I make a move of 'Dogeza’ to beg her. …It would be the last resort to do this, I I know better than anyone that the success rate of such negotiations is extremely low. But Grimoirh is not a person who cares about interests, and she likes people who are sincere.
28Please respect copyright.PENANASli6aE5A4X
"...Please get up, what do you want from me?"
"We're running out of time, so let's get straight to the point, we're going to face a situation where our whole army will be destroyed. I want your wisdom, the wisdom that can lead the weak to survive, You have read thousands of years of knowledge from books. I am sure you can show us a way to survive."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAlum1RsU0Ty
"I beg for your help too, Grimoirh. Please help as I have been your escort for a while! I promise to return your favor." Rokurou also ‘Dogeza’ with me. The reason why I brought him here was not only to create a last-ditch situation, but also because he was familiar with Grimoirh. She could be moved by a request from acquaintance.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dn9JqizAA
"Really, both of you ‘Dogeza’, It looks like I 'm not sincere if I don’t follow. Miss Grimoirh, Rose pulled Rokurou the battlefield that he was fighting, and asked you to come out to assist. Please help us." Ophelia confessed everything, and ‘Dogeza’ with me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAbvsnKTc1j1
"And I say, please get up, don't be like this in my house." Grimoirh felt embarrassed at our wholeheartedly attitude of requesting.
Facing the two acquaintances who voted total trust, no one can easily refuse, which is exactly what I want.
"If you don't agree, we won't get up!" Ophelia decided our action without permission, but I was planning to do so too.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA5nsjgBFJbM
"Meaning if I don't agree, So all the people who died in the city are counted on my head?" Grimoirh said the message we were implying, and she saw through it that made her feel guilty. But it was what I expected, actually I have other reasons to make her help us.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAUuhyvIjsgR
"I don't mean it, it's the result of my poor leadership, that's why I need your advice, maybe your aid will stain you with disgust. Even so, I still hope that you can help us for the hope of coexistence between humans and the seraphim, and for the sake of Maotelus."
Layer upon layer, Maotelus' trump card was revealed at the end. Facing her beloved student, as a teacher, she is impossible to remain indifferent.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8JbSC5rXV
Grimoirh sighed deeply and finally agreed: "Maotelus is also struggling, and I, as his teacher, can't just sit by and watch. Well, I'll go out and help you."

Sorey and Velvet side
SOREY POV
28Please respect copyright.PENANAX9hFqWZ9fP
" Only how the world has become has nothing to do with me anymore ."
As the person who protected the world, this is Vermillion last thought .
Countless civilizations buried in the desert, the world we saw before coming here is not only her state of mind, but also her experience, and more importantly, what the future will look like - if Tartarus' purpose is achieved.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAWmLVqv7409
She had nothing and passed away alone, like a fire burning to ashes, unable to even leave a trace of her own truth.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA6iEGWakkuk
Vermillion, the original saintess, I have seen part of her story. That was the history recorded in an ancient Fire Empyrean ruins, and the Earthen Historia placed on the destroyed Pedestal in the ruins where I went to find Lailah recorded part of the history. It was a sad story, and I even felt a bit of a reproachful tone from the narrative. Just because the Seraph who guides the Shepherd is a very important position, its burden is enough to overwhelm anyone, but no one pays attention to the mood of the bearer, just like a part supporting the world's operation. She made an effort to resist evil that no one can do, and failed countless times. After being consumed by time and running away, she was finally accused of being one of the sinners who made the Dark Ages constitute. This is the image of the Seraph named Vermillion in the only surviving historical records--the one who supports the advancement of civilization's reincarnation, the one who finally escaped and abandoned human beings.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAiOYYfvyJnJ
Perhaps compared with the dragon's memory, In the end, she also gave up on human beings, but it seems to me that she saved human beings from the dark age in the end and gave up her job when human beings were prosperous again. She actually completed all her jobs before she escaped, but no one could record it, so even "after death" was recorded as a "sinner", fulfilling her "duties" to appease human beings. The sad history seems to have never changed.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAiOdsUR6sOg
This made me think of the possibility of the source of the "Lord of Calamity". Before Velvet, there have always been existences like "Lord of Calamity", such as Meliodas is also one of them, Velvet is only the first one Those who have been given this title by the Shepherd. Maybe they are all people who bring chaos to the world because of their own desires, and this title also gives them the responsibility to bear the sins and the resentment of the people. From the descriptions of the relevant people I vaguely know the reason why Velvet became the "Lord of Calamity" at that time. From Velvet's point of view, she was focused on the road of revenge, and when she noticed, she has been called "Lord of Calamity". There are actually more factors, such a special title will not be born for no reason.
"As long as you blame others for your faults, you will be fine, and you will be relieved."
Artorius, the Shepherd at the time, saw through the essence of human beings. He felt desperate to human beings, and cooperated with the ability of the Innominat to control the total amount of malevolence in the world. In desperation, he agreed to all of Melchior's dehumanizing proposals, including the despair of Velvet to constitute the key to finally release the seal of the Innominat. Imperceptibly making Velvet bear the title of "Lord of Calamity" is one of the steps, making her feel the enormity of her sins and at the same time concentrating the resentment of the people, becoming the scapegoat for all the sins of the people and his so-called righteous evil deeds.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA6fWXL9nV8b
This title is a curse that imposes the burden of iniquity and the resentment of the people, and that bearer dies carrying all these sins. When the "Lord of Calamity" dies carrying "all the evils of the world", it will be populace’ hope.
Perhaps the concept of the "Lord of Calamity" was coined in this way, and the concept is still in use today, allowing the Shepherd to more effectively remove malevolence. Therefore, Lailah told be he was the source of the malevolence, things could be solved if he is defeated, this concept has indeed been circulated as a solution to the problem, and it can also control the Shepherd's mind. And Velvet is indeed carrying all and "died" to make the world feel hopeful, but the price is that she lives in the shadow of this title all her life. This curse still poisons Velvet's thinking, it makes her feel that she is doing bad things for granted, Take it for granted that it is not her fault, take the ending of death for granted, and then let her carry the idea of "unforgivable" forever, let her see herself as a disaster, maybe the effects gradually lessened now because everyone is around her, but such a curse must not be completely eliminated so easily, and it is even harder to separate it when Velvet has fully accepted it, this curse. Because the human mind is very fragile, it is necessary to have someone like Vermillion and Velvet having such a "duty" to be blamed like this. It makes me sad and angry when I think about it , the whole world is twisted.

Those who wrote "The History of Vermillion" did not know that Vermillion was just an ordinary girl before being taken to the heavenly realm. Even the seraph is just an ordinary person who is invisible to ordinary people and may occasionally prank people. The original name has long been washed away by the torrent of memories after thousands of years of calamity, and she only has two identities of Vermillion and Alice left. As Vermillion, she insisted on working hard to realize her dream for her savior, the Fire Empyrean, to save her 'continuity' by abandoning her companions, and lived countless years until she lost everything.
As Alice, she originally observed quietly, and then worked hard to help her friends , and finally embarked on the old path of the guardian, this time she did not abandon her companions, but watched her friends drift away and twisted away, watched her friends feel hopeless for human beings, watched her friends betrayed by those who received the favor to be saved and guarded, and then again her friend died to save others. She felt powerless over everything, and at last she was alone, wandering in despair until reason drowned in malevolence.
Such an ending. . . So sad.
This history is full of longing, and the darkness behind it makes people feel so helpless. That is exactly what the historical records will not record, and it wants people to always see the bright side and move forward. However, in the future formed by all the sacrifices, human beings still keep repeating the same mistakes.
Although I also saw the bad side of human beings during my journey, those are only the tip of the iceberg.
The historical stories that once supported my dream are now In the fairy tale of bubbles, the age of glory is nothing but light that has been redacted and accomplished.
And the human beings and the world I want to save....Does it have the value of being redeemed? This question, which I thought had already been answered, made me question my past self again.

Edna and Eleanor side
28Please respect copyright.PENANAY9vmvtjsUB
Humans have a habit of clustering together, and the people around me are no exception. After all, they are all weirdos and idiots, and even the new ones are equally weird. And I have to keep up with this kind of place in order to catch some weirdo who hates herself. Whether that was in her plan, I don't know. I'm just struggling to come up with a punishment that effectively punishes her.
But Velvet wanted to punish herself too much, feeling that none of the methods could really be effective. On the contrary, being happy will make her feel miserable. It's ironic as a way of punishment, but it's the best way to punish her without hurting her.
28Please respect copyright.PENANANcYbaEwjXn
It just so happened that the idiot was reading memories with Sorey, leaving Eleanor by my side. I can get to know their past well.
28Please respect copyright.PENANANi0IgBSFF0
Eleanor, like Sorey, is a complete eccentric, a idiot who always helped people when she was a human, and asked for nothing in return. I didn't know her very well, and I didn't talk much, but I still remember her as a selfless Shepherd. I must have disbelieved that such a person should be a companion of Calamity, but now I may understand the reason.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA4oirbBZWIC
When they were at the lost ruin in the abyss, Sorey, Mibo and Velvet went to the ruins search traps, and the rest were responsible for keeping Tartarus busy. She was the one who accomplished this task best, and was undoubtedly a ruthless character. She was so strong that she originally planned to watch Sorey and Velvet while they are watching memories, but if she faced Tartarus alone, she would also be knocked down, I couldn't be left her alone to do such a reckless act.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA5nyeDWXTJL
"You said you wanted to chat with me, wouldn't you be waiting for me to bring up the topic?"
I stayed with her for the reason of being bored, but no matter how quiet the atmosphere continued, I was afraid that I would die of boredom too.
28Please respect copyright.PENANArEnEwn2E0P
"Oh no! Well, if you don't mind. Please tell me how did you meet Sorey?"
Eleanor asked me about my encounter with Sorey, but it would be boring to answer her outright
“Are you curious?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAbebXWrVUX9
"Yes, when I met you before, you never left that mountain. But the tone of your conversation sounds like you've traveled together. After all, it's impossible to stay in one place all the time as a Shepherd. "
28Please respect copyright.PENANAvpJjxWXvgh
Because it's too boring, let's add some seasoning.
"Oh, you know very well. You can't guess what the old-fashioned reason he used to kidnap me."
"Kidnap?!"
"I like him quite a bit, so it's not an exaggeration to say that he stole my heart?"
"Oh... oh?!"
"Oh, your expression is like 'what kind of love triangle is this?'. No, Don't get me wrong, I didn't plan to find a human being as a lover, orelse it can be considered a four-cornered love."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAXZuxpyXVjs
"Eh?!"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAxOYvaVA9Ic
Come on, the more confusing the better, I'll see your overwhelmed reaction.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA4YgvU9VtGt
"If you count Velvet's side, at least ‘Twelve-Star Brawl’, after all, my brother also likes Velvet."
I counted Sorey/Mikleo or Lailah or me or Rose or Alisha and Velvet/Eleanor or Eizen or Rokurou or Maotelus or Magilou... It's really a 12-star fight.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA2aKC1Wnqt7
"Are you counting all your teammates?"
"Yes, both males and females are counted, after all, her ‘boyfriend-energy’ is very powerful."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAGXSqEuHuUE
"Wait Wait, no, you're making this statement on the assumption that Velvet likes Sorey. Before I said anything, you started talking about a love triangle and it turned into a brawl, so weird.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAX54SmbqAaE
Oh my, what a counter, she has overturned my remarks from the ground up. It seems that she hadn't noticed it yet, no wonder when Mibo asked her like if This is also important to her, she didn't particularly respond. Unlike Mibo, Eleanor is also a bit dull like Sorey, she didn't realize that Velvet seemed to like Sorey.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAd60BYS9V8c
"I thought this was our consensus, and it seems I was wrong. So in your opinion, what is the relationship between the two of them?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAo6SuQLO6Gb
"Mmm? Like…Sorey is someone important to her, and she wants to help him."
"And these statements are also applicable to love." After all, a lover is an important person.
"I thought she treated you two as family..."
"After becoming a couple, they are a family."
"...Eh? That----- "It went to the point of being a couple all of a sudden, which made her cannot come up with anything for a while. Well Velvet and Sorey didn't go that far either.
" No reason to refute, right? Then you can list why you don't think she has any special interest in Sorey."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAD01MN4ASQQ
"This... She has no special emotional expression, right?"
No emotional expression? Did I hear it wrong, she really didn't notice Velvet's a little abnormal performance in the Earthpulse before. But it's reasonable to think about it, after all Velvet's micro-expressions It's like if there is no text description, others will not find that it is a special expression, and she is particularly hiding, or denying this feeling, I am surprised that she does not accumulate malevolence like this.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAga9fIm494K
"... Do you know the same Velvet know? Velvet doesn't show her emotions easily, and even when she's shy, she acts very twisted."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAOFTwGgmEfE
"... She told Tartarus that Sorey was a good friend! "
Isn't it reasonable to say that she is a 'good friend' when she denies this relationship and the relationship has not been established? And she always keep a low profile. When she expresses her trust as a friend frankly, it actually means good progress, she's not an outspoken person after all.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAhDZfY5RZgC
"What's the point of being completely honest with an enemy? And showing off to a bachelor that you have a good man is a naked provocation. But I think it's probably her didn't realize it either. Or like she didn't let herself notice it on purpose."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAxvnOO5nJsl
28Please respect copyright.PENANABHVXrxnMWc
"...This is indeed very likely!! She can afford her life for you guys, so the level of attention to you and Sorey should be the same."
28Please respect copyright.PENANApnI60bKM4m
"Although there are reasons like attaching importance to us, it seemed to me that she was just looking for a meaningful way to die... This is the first time I have ever met such a human being who is selfless, gentle to others and always wants to die."
Thinking of this I feel angry, but she already knows that she is valued.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAtaXZgI9UdM
28Please respect copyright.PENANAK6k9AUifCe
"...You mean she is still..." Eleanor, who is easy to sympathize with others, is really easy to worry about Velvet's negative thoughts, but now she can have a little more confidence in Velvet.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA1uHMrnyerm
"No, it seems that my 'love slap' and your 'love preaching' worked well for her, and now she at least is not intending to die."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAtpuc7fumQ4
"...that's great."
Ah, this kid is too serious, she doesn't even complain about my words.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA8ceZeuYJjO
“So, isn't the fact that she can afford her life for Sorey enough to show that she has special feelings for him? They didn't know each other for a few months."
"...She...I… I don't know."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAtIEfncVOsU
"...Why on earth are you trying to find a reason to refute? Isn't it a good thing that she likes Sorey? ...... Let me guess, do you like Sorey too? You 've only known each other for a while but already fell in love with him? It seems that my Shepherd is really sinful~"
I joked, but Sorey can really make people around him like him quickly, after all, even the seraph like me, who hates humans so much, likes him.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAwenYZ1c18q
"No !...I just think it's unbelievable so far... That Velvet will have someone she likes, she doesn't look like someone who is interested in love. I thought she wasn't interested in men."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAdfAU09YVAB
"Why do you think so? Could it be that you are interested in her?" I asked meaningfully, although I was actually joking, but I felt that her closeness to Velvet was beyond the scope of ordinary friends.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAekNYBvMWPa
"No! She always wanted revenge before, and she revolved around revenge in everything she did. Later, it became softer and softer, but she didn't seem to show the side of love."
28Please respect copyright.PENANADDd26pdaRK
"I heard that her little brother was the reason why she wanted revenge, and there was nothing left except revenge. Of course, such a person would not want to fall in love, the relationship will be very in the way, and it will also hurt others. Although she has hurt a lot of people, it is not intentional emotionally hurting each other. But since she was an Avenger before, why did you join her team?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAdQryyCFzF1
Enough of the joke, I turned the topic to the direction I really wanted to ask, after all, my knowledge of Velvet's past is all based on my brother Letters.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAdVPIlLnfWu
"You're right... I was actually forced to be her Servant at first, and as a spy. Just following her on the journey I've seen a lot of things that I know well, and the hidden truth of the world. , Knowing another untold side of the Abbey I follow and knowing her human side. I no longer blindly believe in the knowledge of the Abbey where I was before, but I am determined to pursue what I believe, what I want to achieve. Although Velvet was not completely right, she was still thinking and worrying as she moved forward, insisting on fighting against the distorted Abbey, I believe it is right to follow her, so I follow her until the end..."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAbg8vsYivjW
"Thank you for your serious explanation in such a detailed way that you even answered the part that I didn't ask. I'll answer your original question too.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA2gUtK1448B
"Huh?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAOE1F3GFmPa
"Why, have you forgotten? Then I don't have to answer. "
28Please respect copyright.PENANAHHoaisYqXB
"No! I'm just surprised that you still remember! Then please tell me how you met Sorey!"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAWZdoGLFHmx
"At that time, my brother was still alive, but turned into a dragon. My brother and I have been living in Spiritcrest. My brother would kill the humans who approached me on the mountain, forming the legend of a dragon on the mountain. Not long after Sorey became a Shepherd, he came to the mountains with Mibo and Lailah to find me. They met my brother, and after escaping him, they sought my help, which I refused and planned to stay on the mountain. But he said it would be too dangerous if I stay by the dragon's side alone, and took me away from there to find a way to save the seraphim who turned into a dragon with me. "
28Please respect copyright.PENANAbCRzYdd9FP
"Edna lives with Eizen who turned into a dragon...it's hard to imagine what that was like, but Sorey was really nice to have you away, it's just too dangerous to stay on the mountain....with Sorey After the trip, do you accept the answer he finally got? "What
she was referring to was of course killing Eizen.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA6kiyeqsLW8
"Of course, I knew at first that there was no other way, and killing him was the only way. After following Sorey to find and communicate with Zaveid, he discovered a method that might be able to save his brother. It was a method that presupposes sacrificing his life. We must first save Maotelus, and we can't come up with a way to keep Eizen in place without harming the surroundings. So in the end, he was killed according to his brother's original wishes. Compared to being killed by someone I didn't know, it was more acceptable, at least Sorey decided to find a way. "
28Please respect copyright.PENANALlk839NCdQ
28Please respect copyright.PENANArsTk0jq15s
"Well, this is the ending that Eizen hopes, after all, he and Zaveid made that agreement. But it's really nice of you to let it go. "
28Please respect copyright.PENANAxJysiKtcsH
"I was unwilling to have to kill my brother to stop Zaveid from killing him, but after searching for a way with Sorey, I have become more accepting of killing him." Sorey always wants to help others and will feel sad about other people's affairs. In fact, I don't think such a gentle weirdo can be a good shepherd. Shepherds can't help everyone freely. But given the circumstances at the time, he was indeed the single most suitable person, and he tried his best to do his duty. It took him a long time to accept that if he was unable to save, death was a redemption for the other party. I know that he must really want to save his brother, and he can only make the decision to kill him under the struggle. " In the face of her sincere attitude, I did not consciously reveal more information. Maybe there is a reason why she is very similar to Sorey, and she may also be one of the reasons why Velvet can quickly have a good impression of Sorey.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAUE3u9CSgCP
"I see. . Sorey is not suitable to be a Shepherd huh.....Velvet is very much in line with the characteristics of the Lord of Calamity, and she always wants to kill the Shepherd. Even so, she is also a gentle, selfish and selfless savior. "
28Please respect copyright.PENANA5nWJLOsfG1
"After all, anyone can become a 'Lord of Calamity', it's just a daemon who is responsible for taking up all the charges and being wiped out. Anyone can be a Calamity, and it doesn't have to be anyone. After Velvet accepted this title, she tended to do "the world expects" to become a person who leads the Calamity, consciously or unintentionally, and acts in line with "Lord of Calamity". This curse is with her."

When she mentioned 'Lord of Calamity', I think of how annoying the crowd of humans really is, I've always hated humans, but I'm willing to help the humans I love to live a normal life again.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA2XrXtY79tb
"...Fortunately, Maotelus made her is herself again..."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAwvEFkyKbiM
"How much of herself is back in her? People will always change, and it all depends on the choices she will make in the future."
Thinking about it now, even Velvet who traveled with my brother is also a weak human being, she will become distorted under great exclusion, and I can't have too much confidence in her. She will leave me one day as I know her, and human beings are fickle. The she I know will become unfamiliar one day.
28Please respect copyright.PENANARB0vt5AYIm
No, I believe in her strength made of pain, and also believe in her inner weakness, even if she hates herself so much, she will not betray me
28Please respect copyright.PENANA0iDv73PvWa
... The inside of this malevolence also made my thinking become negative.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAZdjlVwDOMi
"...I didn't intend to talk about such a heavy topic, and there was no strange movement around, so I went to look around. "I interrupted the conversation abruptly and left, I thought I should calm down.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAcgl48AWQec
I walked over to Sorey and Velvet to observe the two of them, Velvet still had a poker face, while Srey had a sad expression. I can probably imagine that must not be a good memory. What the first-generation saintess saw must be the central axis closest to the changes of the times, that is, the memory of Shepherd and Calamity. This means that Sorey continuously observes the splendor and ugliness of human history seen by the saintess. Even if he made the decision to kill, his heart is still pure, which is the "correct" he has come to after thinking about it. Can such a pure person remain pure after witnessing a lot of ugly things? No matter how powerful a human being is There will be times of collapse, but it should be fine with Velvet around, right? As someone who has climbed the abyss, she can naturally prevent people from sinking into despair, and it is impossible for Sorey to despair in front of her. There was only a sense of silence around, nothing unusual.

"Miss Edna, so you're here...I've been looking for you for a long time----what do you mean?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANA2cuqmLvD12
I turned my head to look at Eleanor, who was bound by the chain I released. Now, she looked at me with a puzzled face.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAhywjIccvlY
Miss Edna? Although she basically treated me like a stranger, she didn't use this kind of alienation. And I left her not long ago, and the direction of walking was obvious. , She can't take a long time to come to me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAP0bPQVAhDt
It's so fake to see her innocent expression.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAyCNtpjEWs7
"Have you been alone for too long? You even forgot the basic homework you need to do to lie to people~" I mocked him with a smirk.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAizwIo0xuWR
A while after, Eleanor came with a frightened face, maybe she was horrified when she saw that ‘she’ was bound by chains.
I didn’t expect that the faker didn't notice her existence. It seems that this world is not his world. He can't freely control or detect people and things in this world. Just knowing this is very reassuring.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAKmFsBTXANP
“Are you secretly stalking me? "I asked Eleanor with a smile.
"Well, I don't think you look very good, and it's too scary to be alone in this kind of place, and it's easy to take advantage of it, so I followed you. . . . "As she spoke, her voice became thinner and quieter. It seemed that she knew that stalking was a bad behavior, and she felt guilty after I found out.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAr2rvRXmDtN
" . . I'm sorry I didn't mean to, please don't tie me up!"
She begged for mercy at the end, and the honest person's reaction was really interesting.
28Please respect copyright.PENANARZNp3YFigv
"Are you imagining something strange, or do you just want to be tied up?" I mean a lot for any possible special personal interest as I asked.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAk3baXqf3IL
“No I don’t!”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAiJ9be9Ym1i
"Okay, let's stop joking, let's get rid of this impostor together. "
28Please respect copyright.PENANAa5IZrQap2A
After, the fake Eleanor has become a man, not someone else, but Tartarus.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAYSkyiyOLUy
" It's rare that I treat you with such respect, but you are actually toasting and not taking the favor, and you want to oppose me. "
28Please respect copyright.PENANAkn4ISuysDE
I didn't respond, I just thought what he said was too funny, and responded directly with an attack. Eleanor cleverly followed my attack and attacked him. The strength of the combo made him fly a few feet away from Sorey's range. This time we can fight with all our strength, but I have reservations about the outcome of the fight, the opponent is a strong enemy after all. All we can do is try to delay time, so I hope the 2 idiots in the back Don't indulge in their "personal world" for too long.

Alisha pov
28Please respect copyright.PENANArlOfwa3o4h
Since the monsters attacked the battlefield without a moment of rest. The soldiers gradually lost their energy, their accuracy decreased, and they had no physical strength to fight. Under this disadvantage, Rose suddenly abandoned the command, handed over the command to me, and left the position to ask for help. She said: "There is no other way."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAmnvTwQ92Cb
At that moment I really didn't understand what she was thinking - to leave her position at such an important time of life and death.
28Please respect copyright.PENANADDGeMJdSbh
"I want to find someone to help, without her we can only wait to die. So I'm sorry, Alisha, please hold the ground here no matter what."
28Please respect copyright.PENANARHQotw6o76
"Yes, I won't give up no matter what."
Then Rose brought Normin Grimoirh and ordered everyone to follow the normin's instructions. As a result, the soldiers were unwilling to obey the Normin commander who has never been on the battlefield, what's more, most Normin gives a sense of not being serious and too happy, which makes the soldiers feel that she is unreliable.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAjFFJ8VQcha
Rose is a little distressed about this, she really wants everyone to obey in this urgent situation, to obey the normin commander who has no commanding or military experience.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA8VfKxCAVKU
Grimoirh's instructions are to disperse troops to different locations while maintaining the offensive here. For soldiers who know they're at a disadvantage, their morale is low, and they're exhausted, it's like telling them to die, they refuse to follow the instructions.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAS8zuqAhL6R
Likewise, I also don't understand what Rose is thinking, what is the purpose of Grimoirh's instructions, but I know that these two people are not the ones who will harm us, so I can only let the soldiers listen to the order.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA4OnQZ0rYKS
"Everyone listen to me, Rosewill not harm us. Follow Grimoirh's orders, and I will be responsible for all consequences. "I trust Rose, so I will help her achieve her goals. She must have her own reasons. I can only take the lives of everyone and their families and make them feel at least a little at ease. The soldiers are still somewhat being suspicious, and everyone becomes selfish in critical situations.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA1Emj9A8NX0
"Don't push yourself too hard, Alisha, you can't do without me when dealing with strong enemies."
In this impatience, a calm and sophisticated voice interjected into the conversation, and I turned my head to see the battle-hardened Yaksha who had returned.
"Rokurou, are you back?"
"Oh, after all, this is a very important battle formation. I'll come back here after I finish my work." The appearance of Rokurou eased the atmosphere a lot, and as a strong man and commander, he was also trusted by the soldiers, so everyone felt a lot more at ease.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA78UVtvalOH
"For the soldiers who are too tired, go to Ophelia, and for one who may keep going, continue to attack."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAxz2cJ6ivRe
The soldiers obeyed the order, and I was a little ashamed of my lack of appeal, but I was so incompetent as the vice-chairman.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAUQeXH7Ibrw
"Water seraphim, Fire seraphim, come here, tired people come here~ Earth seraphim and Wind seraphim come here"
Ophelia successively instructed the seraphim of different attributes and their partners to the designated teleportation glyph. The two neatly directed the soldiers to scatter into 3 'retreat' teams, and headed to the 3 teleportation glyphs of different colors behind her respectively. It seems to be a special division of labor.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAxS7hwu7JYk
"Then in order for them to retreat safely, we will try our best to maintain our constant aggression, come on~" Rokurou smiled and instructed some difficult actions. Now there are only a quarter of the front line left, but to perform the attack that all the people on the front line have to work together with all their strength. The attack sounds like a fool's errand.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAj2RAOc5chB
"Don't worry, Ophelia will use illusion to make up for what seems to be lacking."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAmQ0VzHvyHr
"Bastard, why did you increase my workload without authorization."
"Don't be so rude, we have to make Grimoirh's plan work."
"That's right.... You're right~! Alas, why do I know someone like you..."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAcR5zE8jZNi
Although I don't know the whole picture, I know that the mission here is to feint, that is, to bluff, so Grimoirh really has her considerations, not let us die. My duty is to trust them and follow the instructions.
…………..
After continuing the feint for an unknown amount of time, I noticed that the scenery around was somewhat different.
First of all, the air above the dragon behind is shining, it is not too obvious and has no impact, so neither we nor the enemy noticed it. Maybe he noticed, but because there is no threat, he has been left unattended.
And the forest next to our town began to fog, not a magical fog barrier formed by arte, but naturally formed.
Because I didn't perceive the magic particles in it, I judged it this way.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAgXq2Q1E0S9
Although it was a natural phenomenon, it appeared at such a time that everyone was concerned, and the enemy was also wary of it.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA5hnzYz0Inj
I take advantage of this phenomenon, and ask Ophelia to create phantom fog in all directions, and I use the seraphic arte technique to summon the shooting stars at the dragon.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA7VI9vdZd2b
My strength is not that great compared to the dragon, but my task is to procrastinate, and I am confident that I can carry it out to the end.
Because this mission depends not on attack power, but on strategy.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA7rkNcAYniI
In the thick fog, I shot shooting stars from the east at one time, attacked from the west at one time, and then attacked from all directions at the same time, confusing the enemy's position, and attacking his weak point on the one hand.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAj83oJwuMtJ
The dragon was enraged, and angrily spit fire around him, intending to eliminate the fog.
I thought the fog would be blown away, but instead, the surrounding fog and clouds were condensed. Those are not composed of magic, but natural, as if nature is helping us.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAxFvpiBp8Ga
I looked at ophelia in puzzlement, but she shrugged her shoulders in the same unintelligible way, it really wasn't her trick.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAHhJHQWtECL
"It's working, he's cocooning himself, and we've managed to borrow the 'arrow'." Grimoirh said something I didn't understand.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAw8J42uhzxv
"What is all going on here?" I finally couldn't help but ask the mysterious new commander of normin.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAkMJ7DYwyzS
"It will take a long time to explain in detail, because the dragon is still there, I can only say that this is the embryonic body I want for a storm. In his angry roar just now, he spewed a lot of magical heat energy. With what we set in advance, the magic crystal absorbs a lot of magic power, and the heat and airflow of the jet flame accelerates the formation of initial cyclone, which is really thanks to you using the fog to feint him to provoke him."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAFTaDTs9Gr5
"Oh? I'll keep working hard!" Suddenly there was too much information for me to think about, but I understood that she was indeed using semi-artificial methods to create natural phenomena to create a favorable environment.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0JzsOOhXw
In fact, this phenomenon can be reproduced with the seraphic technique, but it requires a certain amount of knowledge and a lot of mana to reproduce. The form of seraphic technique will disappear after the attack is completed, because mana must be saved, and the phenomenon must be maintained with the mana is always provided, and once the magic power supply is stopped, the phenomenon will disappear, so it is a thankless thing to reproduce and maintain a weather with the seraphic technique.
28Please respect copyright.PENANABvMMhCVI95
"...So it is, you are creating the weather."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAhYAW5TBZmb
When I think of the word 'convection' from her words, I thought it was a word for knowledge of physics. The reason for dispersing the team in different places should be that she was using her scientific knowledge to let them recreate the big magic with the lowest consumption, to create Large-scale astronomical weather. I am afraid it is an important natural disaster grade weather, the power is similar to that of the great seraphic arte, but it has a longer duration.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAc0G2K2KzLo
All this is terrifying. The time Grimoirh has been in her library is not wasted time, she actually pays attention to the development of human beings in her way and learns the knowledge they have researched. These knowledge about meteorology are recent human beings Knowledge that has only been developed as science develops, and Grimoirh is here to help us with the formation of these meteorological principles, she is a powerful seraph.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAGdmhAcwc6N
"Ha... That's right. We have to take advantage of this situation and slowly consume the opponent's mana and physical strength until reinforcements arrive."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAuGyX1gS1bV
"Reinforcement?" Under such circumstances, it is difficult for me to imagine any reinforcements willing to come and have enough strength to support us.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAzaubSMCqvm
"Just you have to consume him and wait patiently."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAaVvhnesZth
"I know, I must try my best to delay the time."
Although I don't know what the reinforcements are, Grimoirh has shown me her incredible knowledge and wisdom, and I will trust her tactics until the very end.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAby2Phy049D
Wait and have hope.

Velvet POV
28Please respect copyright.PENANAb4OTEw598H
The blank world, come to my senses, is already in it, and I have no memory of it before I came here. This place, this situation, seems familiar. This is not the world that exists in reality, is it the world after death? I finally felt it was too peaceful for me and I shouldn't have come to this end.
28Please respect copyright.PENANASCNLkb8bTN
So I tried hard to think about the reason, and when I came back to my senses, a dragon suddenly appeared in front of me! Just now, there were clearly no traces of other creatures in the eyes, and a fantasy-like beast suddenly appeared in front of him.
I unconsciously wanted to fight back with my claws, knock the opponent down in one fell swoop, knock it to the ground, and eat it like a smooth flow, making it part of my power.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAZIREI5y3HC
I kept my claws open so I could stare.
I actually have a claw that is out of proportion to a human arm. It is the claw of a monster, but it is seamlessly connected to my left arm.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jk4g6swpa
Looking at the strange and discordant giant claw, I feel that it is naturally a part of me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAb4Dm75OLA0
This and the memory I have cannot be pieced together into a complete picture. The protagonist in the memory is the saintess who strives to bring order, and this claw is the incarnation of chaos. If the claws were to be forcibly connected to the memory, then the claws seemed to belong to the therion who cooperated with them to defeat the Lord of Daemon. He was full of anger and wanted to kill the Meliodas for revenge.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAGxB3XRbIr0
That therion and I have the same obsession, and I remembered that I was a monster. But that's still a long way from the reason I am here.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAqIqq60HJzM
Those were all sad memories but those memories didn't seem to belong to me, but I remembered that I turned into a monster for revenge.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA33yj4Gbn6o
That's right, as a monster, I pursues the future, longs to keep the current situation, and is nostalgic for the happiness of the past.
28Please respect copyright.PENANANe7ZbjoevV
So where do you want to go? The shadow that looks like myself asks.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA6kasKC8l9p
In front of my eyes again, it turned into a dragon out of thin air and suddenly launched towards me and took away my weird left arm. There were red light particles flying away from the broken arm, while the dragon disappeared into nothingness.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAli0DADI3gr
This may be called karma, pain and hatred firmly etched in my mind.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAhAEouERgkL
Mmm… the severe pain came from the broken arm, and familiar memories flashed in my mind, and those are all my memories.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAwos1wp875g
How could it be forgotten? Those happy, sweet times.
The time spent with my family then seemed to be the only time that reminded me of the human part of myself.
28Please respect copyright.PENANACwl32pJwFX
"No matter what the future is and what you become, I hope you can live well." Those were the words my sister entrusted me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAa3Wyrnt4rQ
"I wish you can have happiness too." That was Eleanor's sincere wish.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAuFwS1yM1ql
"I want to live with you." That was Soreyi's straightforward confession.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAXhDu1WYF3o
I recalled the expectations of the important people and sighed inwardly at their willfulness, and they are the reason I am here.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAI6MC9m4IGN
I have no expectations, I just know that I have to move forward and try to live, because I have lost the option of dying, because I have decided not to run away from the fear of living.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAjRPt5Ud6e9
My iniquity will burn with my life until it is extinguished, and if I want to live with my friends, I must find a way to defeat the mighty enemy.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAD1l7N42zII
I ignited the flame of purification, and the flame of silver enveloped me, instantly isolating "the intrusion of the world".
28Please respect copyright.PENANAWtTMciKBMO
I recalled that the last time I had the same situation in my spiritual world, when Eleanor used silver flames to recall my memories and self that were almost swallowed up and disappeared by the malevolence. She said try not to make too much imagination in other people's world to affect the scenery of the spiritual world, because that will constitute a real impact, and because of the impact, the spiritual world will feel that intruders exist. The intruders will be rejected, and it will also be strongly backlashed, which may be the case now. If you don't think about yourself, you will be assimilated by the world and be trapped here forever.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAEZjCcEEQ9y
28Please respect copyright.PENANAvNxKmu7DnF
Thinking back carefully, I seem to have been to a deeper spiritual world, there is a white world, Seres is always waiting there and talking to me, just like the guardian of my heart.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA8PXI8IPDm6
Then I finally remembered fighting with her against the invaders. It was one of the few times I actually fought with her. It was how I got the memory of an enemy of unknown origin and how I got the way to fight in this world. , so I am so familiar with the world.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAmxmfHRvqvA
Thinking about it,I am re-imagining my arm at the same time and restoring it.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAU7rKJptlsa
This is the depths of the spiritual world, the inner sea of the heart, at least that's what Eleanor calls it, and it's extremely complicated, and I don't want to go into it, I just need to know that this is the place where I can achieve my purpose. Breaking the connection between the dragon and Tartarus, if it can destroy Tartarus by the way, it is the ideal result. This should be the place where the spiritual core is, and when we touch a similar existence, a huge flood of memories floods our minds.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAP9jcUGDw0f
The lost history is presented one after another, and the long and growing process ends with a helpless and sad ending.
If the story just stopped at the time when the country was prosperous, it would have been a good ending, but the longevity of the seraphim forced them to see the ending of decline. . As the saintess who is at the center of it, all this must be very difficult.
In the huge whirlpool of history, the solid stone has also been ground into grains of sand and disappeared.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAUIxd256SHV
Heavy sadness, powerlessness, failure and guilt entangle me while looking at the memories. But these feelings are not strong enough for me to dominate my will, I only feel the annoyance like mosquitoes flying around, not much in reality. I even had to wonder if it wasn't normal for me not to feel like this.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAuBzIsPj6Mj
It's all due to my inability to play her role. I never acted to save the world. Not long ago, I still felt that the destruction of the world was not my business. If I was overwhelmed by her so-called sense of responsibility, I will not be the Lord of Calamity. If I were her, I wouldn't make choices like hers, and I wouldn't have feelings like hers. I don't sympathize with her pain, it's an insult to her giving up everything in pain to finish her job.
28Please respect copyright.PENANApMZcIgbWwc
Only one of them, similar in me and the saintess, is the feeling of confusion, which is so strong that I don't know why, and I can't tell whether it is my own or an illusion caused by reading memory.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA5NR36h5y4y
She gave up herself on the way forward, and has been giving up everything to move forward in this way, for the good ending of the world as a whole. But the end and decline are helpless things, and her way forward has no end. The end of giving up everything is that you gradually don’t know why you are moving forward, you can only hold on to the glory of your remaining duties and move on, and then finally give up even the remaining things and look for a burial place.
28Please respect copyright.PENANANxhmNAT0GK
At this point, I seem to see a shadow of myself.
After my sister passed away, I only have my brother-in-law and my only remaining younger brother, so I live with them as my possessions, and I do my best to protect and maintain my only remaining family. But the result is that they abandoned me, for the ideal world and to use up the value of their lives. I became nothing, and pinned everything on "revenge for my younger brother", and when I knew that my younger brother was sacrificed voluntarily, at one point I lost even the reason to live for revenge. Desperate for a time, but was pulled back by Phi. I carried out my revenge, to stop them from fighting to the end. Whether the revenge is successful or not, I have no idea that I will be able to come back and continue to live. In order to seal the Innominat, I will use my freedom and time as the price, and seal it with him in the interior of the world, as a small part atonement of the damage I caused on the road of revenge.
Vengeance is all I have, so once I have done it, I have nothing, I never think about the future - what I shouldn't have.
I didn't think about surviving because there was nothing left and I couldn't ignore all the sins I've committed.
The voices of the undead are always whispering beside me, telling the resentment of being killed and cursing my existence.
Anyway, people around me will be unfortunate, family, friends, villagers in the same village, and even the prison island in the future, all of them will die. It is very correct to say that I am the Lord of the manifestation of Calamity, then people like me better not survive. It was completely unexpected to wake up in this era, because I was rescued, and I had to linger on to repay my debts, and search for a place of burial, to find the most suitable destination for me.
But I failed, every time I didn't die, and I was pulled back from the gate of hell by the people around me, because they wanted me to live and thought I should live. I reluctantly found a decent target to live on, but as soon as Tartarus was defeated, my living target would also disappear. After this I still haven't thought about it, and the freedom to think about what I want to do is too much of a reward for a sinner like me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAVZZKP7eyZy
What should I do, how to live in the future, how to go on in this unknown era, how to face the people who value me, these are things I don't know how to deal with, maybe I just ignore it all the time I walked forward with this confusion, but at this moment, this confusion was aroused and magnified, and when I looked back, I realized that this unknown and the sudden happiness I have always feared.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAJat5Xt0H4K
I am the one who committed heinous sins, but in this era, no human being has been affected by my original actions. I can no longer redeem my sins to comfort the people I killed and affected. Any good deeds are just my self-satisfied hypocrisy.
The future I envision is full of bad possibilities, even in this day and age not many people remember my sins and want to kill me.
I am also convinced that retribution will come one day, but I am deeply afraid that nightmares will befall those around me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAw16ulqnzzp
Even now I don't feel like I should have a future.
28Please respect copyright.PENANARnWBcWDGPb
After reading the story, the world is completely white, and no one else is seen. It is a place more empty than the desert of the surface world.
Perhaps these all reflect that the saintess has always been empty and lonely, so she was broken in the final consciousness.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAlMfyEOKRqv
I searched around, and when I saw Sorey, my confused thoughts calmed down a little.
If the shepherd's job is to show the way for the lost lamb, will he show the way for me too?
28Please respect copyright.PENANAei8qZf5ERJ
"No matter where you are, I'll come to you."
The blunt confession that made me blush just thinking about it came to my mind again.
I shook my head, no doubt, he never really left me alone, he never betrayed me, and the fact that he was with him calmed the waves in my heart again.
If everyone was there, I felt like I could struggle a bit more.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAkHm2Vv9BV4
After calming down a bit, I thought about the reason for all of this, and there was no actual problem. My mood went up and down like a roller coaster. It wasn't normal, and it wasn't like my mood. Maybe this is what Eleanor calls mental erosion. The feelings and thoughts of the master of the world will invade our spirit, and even the character will be affected in severe cases.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAaHLT7CSZXG
Looking back on the long memory I just saw, it was an unexpected bonus to be able to see the memories related to Tartarus.
The female seraph who became a dragon is an ancient seraph with the same strength as Tartarus. She has a longing for Tartarus and a sense of indebtedness. They are similar to each other and go on completely different paths.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAV7ffM1wOpQ
If he simply hates everything in the world, I can't understand why Claudin considers him a friend, after all they are the exact opposite. Tartarus gave me my memory without mentioning any relevant records, but now I finally understand.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAwK996BR2WE
They have lived through difficult times, supported each other, and experienced adventures together. And he is also one of the heroes who helped the Hero King, and he was the swordsman master of the Hero king. In the face of others showing good intentions to him, even if he hates humans, he still chooses to repay them with good intentions, and he has no doubt that he also has normal human emotions.
The time they spent together was happy for him, and that's why he wanted to give up those memory. Tartarus wanted to forget this past, he thought his friend had betrayed him, and it was painful to have the happy time. Just like when my head was filled with revenge, I also wanted to forget the time I lived with Arthur, it was dull, hard work but happy. This happy time also turned into a pain because of the betrayal of two people, everything is like a lie .
28Please respect copyright.PENANAatjEF1TNCN
Living long enough to witness repeated partings, long enough for them to be consumed by negative emotions, long enough to see themselves as villains for a day.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAfPbxlmOGvD
A friend who once fought together denied what he was doing for the sake of mankind, and stopped him at all costs. From that moment on, he recalled the time when he was hated by everyone. He was thinking that even his friends wanted to kill him this time. He regards the other party as a betrayal and hates him to the core. Because from his point of view, human beings are hateful and not worth saving, and he who destroys the world for his friends is puzzled and angry at his friend's hostile behavior.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAIpx5CKtlhL
He thought that his friend had betrayed him, wanted to kill him, and let him have no worries about destroying the world and rebuilding it into a world that could accommodate him.
A world overflowing with malevolence and flowing to death, then there will be only chaos left, and in the end everything will be destroyed and only a terribly silent emptiness will be left.
Thinking about the world he looks forward to, I just feel sad, he thinks he is only suitable for such a world, maybe he is secretly and subconsciously hating himself and seeking death, but he wants everyone to be buried together.
Although the direction of thinking is different, I do resemble him in fundamental thinking.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAHCG3CfzPl9
But the most difference is that he is not alive, he has lived far longer than me, he is completely degenerate, at first he just wanted to live with his mother, that is he hated human beings but did not take the initiative to destroy them, and then was brought to the heavenly realm, the proud seraphim in the heavenly realm looked down on him as a half-blood. Then, when the human world was in chaos, he met the hero king and the saintess. They worked together for the same goal and supported each other. These days it should be his most precious, the most lively time. When he gave up his struggle and devoted himself to revenge, he was no longer alive, he gave up feeling and thinking, focused only on hatred, and did not want to lose or die until he achieved his goal.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAOvbZyV5Hc0
Even though mankind is not thanking the king with magical powers, but fears him, Claudin is still on the side of maintaining the happiness of mankind, and is against Tartarus, which makes him very angry and thinks it is a betrayal.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA6LF8g2iwO3
The ending is also sadly as Tartarus expected, humans betray Claudin. After guarding the future of mankind, mankind made Claudin lose his normal future.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAaEtGg73aH8
It was because he had obtained a moment of happiness that he felt betrayed when he stood on the opposite side of him. He will never allow opinions that differ from him.
28Please respect copyright.PENANASzpBcoGQUe
It may also have the influence of malevolence to some extent, malevolence will not make him a dragon, but it will still make him more easily occupied by negative emotions.
28Please respect copyright.PENANASpjy69bxTZ
Even knowing his story, I still don't know how to deal with him. I hate him, I understand his behavior but not sympathy, I still don't have a wave inside. Claudin wanted me to save him, but I fulfilled his wish only to defeat him, with hypocritical sympathy, with ineffective persuasion, who could I save in the end?
28Please respect copyright.PENANA8CX1KRytFR
After pondering for a while, I came to the conclusion that I couldn't get an answer just like that.
Sensing that Sorey didn't move, I felt a little strange, so I approached Sorey and looked at his expression.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAQp5zLQUQTN
28Please respect copyright.PENANANuCxCVAeM5
Sorey looks a little dejected, a little sad, even a little...desperate, I have seen this look from my brother-in-law, calm and gentle but like a dead silence in heart.
This history is probably the opposite of his perception. He once told the story of the Hero King, the story of how he led the seraphim and human beings to coexist on an equal footing. The history he speaks of is full of sanctity and worship. As a result, he saw the opposite history, the ending that was far from the ideal, the darkness behind the glory, all of which were against the story of the hero king he admired. Human beings as a group always have internal quarrels, have no good ending.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA58dmVl6qb7
He may also be affected by spiritual erosion, which is why he looks so lost at this moment.
This may be the first time I have seen his lost expression, he is always firm and optimistic in front of me, such a vulnerable moment is rare. Maybe he didn't show it in front of me on purpose. Boys like to show their strong side.
He just wouldn't leave anyone in need of help, not even me, who was so sinful. He had an unwavering belief and was always there for me when I needed it. He was such a fool to give for nothing in return. I owe him so much so when he was feeling down like he is now, I would stay by his side .
28Please respect copyright.PENANAwARBSlU6ss
"Sorey, are you alright?" I reached out and patted his shoulder, and he turned to look at me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAR8p3rIabb8
"Eh...well, it's fine, but all this is too different from the legend of the Hero King that I know." Sorey pretended to be strong and tried his best to show a smile, but there was only a helpless, wry smile, which was not suitable for the frank and honest Sorey at all. .
28Please respect copyright.PENANAOu80z2UAnC
"There's no one here, so don't pretend to be fine." I pointed out to him that Sorey stayed there for a moment, and his face lost his smile, which made me wonder if I did something wrong. Then I felt that his expression was as pure as a puppy who lost its owner, and it made people want to take good care of him. Is there something wrong with my brain when I had this idea? I shook my head and quickly let myself get rid of these thoughts.
28Please respect copyright.PENANABFdh5wwplK
I pointed to the seat next to him and asked if the seat next to him could sit, he nodded in agreement.
He was silent, and I was not a good talker, I chose to wait for him to speak and listen to the troubles he wanted to tell.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAcZiG1lJuX9
There were actually many difficulties along the way, but he always faced the problem straightly, trusted his companions, and moved forward together, and he never complained. As a person who is just holding on to this dream and moving forward, it is amazing to give everything for it.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA6laB07BS3R
If he is troubled, it is also about his dream. In this kind of Shepherd-like features, he is actually very similar to Arthur, and I don't want him to lose hope like Arthur and become a person who wants to destroy the world, destroy the world he tried so hard to protect.

The atmosphere maintained a somewhat awkward and serene state, as if it were just the two of us here.
No, it's really only us. With Edna's character, she should feel that watching these memories is unnecessary and annoying, and Eleanor will make protecting us the top priority.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA38ZTEtapQw
And so it's really just the two of us here, and I'm suddenly a little uncomfortable thinking about it.
Why in the end? At first I lived with him for a period of time in this era, and then I traveled with him, met different people, and there were people who traveled with him. Although it was not a long time, I had known him for a while. Now that I'm alone in the same room with him, I feel nervous and irritable, I think my head may really start to have problems.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAjsDUrNeuPp
"...I didn't expect Velvet to say that, haha." Sorey re-opened the conversation with a wry smile. When he said that, I could only smile back in embarrassment, feeling my cheeks rise temperature slightly. In response, because I'm the one who pushes the envelope the most, always pretend I am fine and that's something I can't change.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAf8RfEFDr2Z
28Please respect copyright.PENANAmTmkGNDtp1
"...I don't know how I should feel now...The ending of the story in memory is sad...The history I know is a huge lie... ..." Sorey tried his best to sort out what he wanted to say, brewing up a state where he could talk.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAupNrVpR7pE
28Please respect copyright.PENANANvWYmdb5qd
"...Even the 'after death' of Vermillion, who has been protecting mankind, is also recorded as a sinner who led to the emergence of the dark age. The recorded history is not complete. The concept of 'Lord of Calamity' is in your time, after it appeared, it has been inherited until now because human beings are too weak and need a scapegoat..." Hearing this reason that made him feel lost, I almost laughed bitterly, obviously the saintess never cared about this kind of thing. I didn't care about these things, but he was sad for our experience and reputation, so he was puzzled by the work of protecting the future of mankind. How gentle would he be to sympathize with people who have nothing to do with him?
28Please respect copyright.PENANA2c6ePPKb2w
"....as if everything I believed had turned out to be false...Even in your previous era, the coexistence of Seraphim and Humans was only recorded It's just a beautiful lie...and I've always grown up listening to this lie, even my dreams come from this lie....It's all so sad, I don't know what to believe."

"Sorey..." Sorey thought more than I imagined, he should have come into contact with the dark side of human beings. This memory directly affected his consciousness. In this situation, it can be said that the motivation to live has been taken away.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA2LDaRv6lkO
28Please respect copyright.PENANAHqUHI8RHGO
"Yes, because human beings are very weak, both human beings and the seraphim will lie, and even history has a chance to be false. In order to facilitate the manipulation of people's emotions, it is also so that there will be no public panic. I have defeated the Shepherd with madness that hopes to erase human emotions. The true history of the shepherds will also not be passed on, nor do I want it to be passed on. Only in this way can we leave hope and protect the weak hearts of human beings. We all lie for these purposes. Those who have dreams like that are probably one of the purposes of these lies." I murmured sarcastically, affirming Sorey's speculation, maybe he will despair but this is a fact he must accept.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAOJsoZUhE8F
"Maybe these lies are one of the cornerstones on which you built your dreams, but your dreams are your true thoughts and feelings, and what you've done for it won't become a lie."
28Please respect copyright.PENANA5icrEdS3AY
"Even if it stems from a lie...is it correct?"
"Is it correct? I can't tell, it's from a lie? Still care about that? Honestly, I don't think your dreams come from history like this."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAPDtCDEDbyK
"why?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAC9k7qGe0HI
"You have described your hometown to me, the people there are very gentle, you want others to know, just this reason is enough to support the dream, isn't it? ---Because the seraphim you know is real. "
28Please respect copyright.PENANA2yCKLm92Iq
"...!"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAQjIHRM3SsZ
"Is it correct....I can't answer and I'm not qualified to judge whether things like saving mankind are correct, but contributions don't always pay off." Especially emotional contributions, it's best not to Get rewarded as a prerequisite for contributing. I think back to myself a thousand years ago as a self who only cared about my family, and the answer like my brother-in-law and younger brother really made me indignant, but I still have no regrets for loving them.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAhQaJSjbgmU
"Claudin was betrayed by humans after saving them. However, at least when I heard Claudin tell his own story, I didn't feel any regrets from him. What you have done is amazing, but human beings don't know, and don't thank you, do you regret what you've done?"
I recall the look on Claudin's face when he told me the story, without a trace of remorse, which deeply made me feel that he was a great man of Shepherd. Sorey probably understood this in his heart, because I knew that he did not act to get thanks from anyone.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAlJxpO4qIKw
"No." He shook his head. "That's what I want to do."
28Please respect copyright.PENANArijQ9knPIO
"You, as a Shepherd, were led to do what people expected you to do, and you did what you wanted to do, so there's no need to regret it. It's enough to know that." Sorey returned some hope in his eyes.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAqWNZax7VMF

28Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7P8699yD0
Sorey seems to slowly absorb my words as he thought about it. Eventually, he gazed up and smiled sheepishly, said: ".......I see. You're right, Velvet. Somehow I arbitrarily feel sad about it, about how Claudin ended, how Vermillion ended and how Tartarus became, but there is only one thing we need to do.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAfmgO9dFn3F
“....I'm not saying that is a bad thing. In fact, that's an admirable trait.”
He heard and was surprised for a moment, returned a sheepish smile, scratched his head. I then realized it was the few moments I actually praised him directly and expressed my opinion.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAh81dyWa58x
“Even with sorrow, we have to move forward, right?” He smiled and responded, returning to be the cheerful boy I knew. He held traits that were similar to Claudin, that he doesn't get despair easily. I wonder if that reminded Tartarus of Claudin, he liked him, but the 'betrayal' turned this into hatred, turning him to hate Sorey.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAbhz9pNv0Zp
“.....Yeah…That's what we can do, for the dead and for ourselves. I am not sure what we should do now though.” I stared at the total empty space surrounding us.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAgqBwG9QC9j
He touched his chin and observed the space carefully around, stated his assumption eventually: " I've been to a similar place before, I guess this may be the deepest space in the mental world."
I was curious about the last mental world he had been to but now we should focus on this world.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAE2b723b65p
"I agree, and I wonder how I could cut their mental linkage now……." We ran all the way here to separate the linkage between Tartarus and the Dragon, but now, hardly I can relate something as linkage connecting the two to share power. This white space is literally empty, barely a thing present, we are the only impurity here.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAW9uEDPO98C
He lowered his head and started pondering, then he came up with something. Sounds like he got a theory, his curiosity always let him be keen enough to find ways in the unknown.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAc3jfcdN0nN
"Velvet, may I know what you actually did back then, when the ship realized with Eizen in the desert?. He probably c ame up an idea in mind and asking for the related information now.
28Please respect copyright.PENANABEvbt4gZS5
"I was memorizing and imagining the Van Eltia that traveled with me back in my time. However, I think that the overlapping of the memory and imagination of us 4 materialized the pirate's ship successfully at last."
I tried to give him a satisfying answer as I tried to remember the details, imagination was a blurry zoom.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA9qHzPvNdgX
"Indeed, I was recalling the knowledge of the ship at the moment it started materializing." I was not surprised when he added that, he like studying the structure of EVERYTHING to see how the mechanism works on it.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAJyBY2rMogB
With that being said, our own understanding contribute the elements in the illusion more than we thought, but why bring up it now at such moment?
28Please respect copyright.PENANAwSmZPSJHaU
"And I bet Edna was recalling Eizen when he was materialized on the ship at that time."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAG7qPI9DY5p
"Which was the reason for making the illusion like the actual one standing before us. The Eizen we saw was so real that I couldn't call him just an imaginary pres ence."
28Please respect copyright.PENANARU4xoolpK2
"I also have the same thought, after what he told us, more like his consciousness attached on the imaginary body there."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAKVqzJhYbYf
Eizen is a true Reaper now, there was no way he may enter our world easily if death doesn't happen, but it is different in a mental world, so I think he may be the real one before. Afterall, I don't think I know him deep enough to create a realistic illusion.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA2nvRQxrZ0K
"And maybe we could do the same thing here."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAlRnIBg8GcT
"What do you mean?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANA7xwtCzC9VB
"You and I imagine and memorize Vermillion here, see if this could summon her consciousness and eventually stop the linkage."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAX8n8tGSoeE
A dragon's consciousness is nearly lost even in Vermillion case, it would be hard for us to find her consiousness and in a whole piece, but with Sorey's suggestion, maybe we could gather possible fragmental spirits of her all at once.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAoWl2kmRJZ4
He never let me down, isn't he?
28Please respect copyright.PENANAB8RaRptNjI
"Good enough to give it a try."
Listening to Sorey's theory, I think it is very workable and we may perform it in this space by us two here.
So I started searching for her image from 'my memory', maybe I've been researching that memory from Tartarus over and over again in order to dance the right way. In that foreign memory, the outline of the saintess was unexpectedly clear.
In my memory, the fluttering scarlet hair and white dress made a deep impression on me. The white dress she wears has a lace edge, which portrays an elegant and airy feel to her clothes. The white color seems to blend into her snow-white complexion, bringing out her purity and constancy. Contrasting with the white is her vermilion hair, which dances in the air like an irregular tongue of flame, which is burning irregularly, continuing its own existence. She had golden eyes with firmness, gentleness and sadness, in which the flames that were already weak and unquenched were lodged. Noble and holy temperament surrounds her, showing her identity as a saintess. .
Then a beautiful and sacred body with sadness was born in this white space. Those golden eyes like jewels, calmly gazed at us, as if she was a doll.
In this way, the idea of the imagined shell is completed, as is the memory of what I saw of her.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAhHJc92a91w
Maybe it's the color of the eyes, she looks a bit like me. After reading the recollection, I have to agree with Eleanor's assumption that Tartarus has a good impression of the saintess, and he is very concerned that I looks a bit like her and is also experienced betrayal and blamed by humanity.
Just like human beings, it is easy to place emotions on objects that are similar to themselves and those around them.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAMvJEfhkuIt
On the surface, the saintess is very opposite to him, but a certain part of her heart is similar to him. And there is only the content to be filled, that is, the years and feelings she has experienced and accumulated~ the information scattered in the memory. This part is supposed to be the hardest to imagin, and even though we've all seen most of the memory, it doesn't mean we know exactly what she was like.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA447gBNCYQZ
Sorey and I looked at each other, nodded and recalled what we saw, filled with empty imaginations.
Build a personality, pour out her loyalty, admiration and longing for the Fire Lord, which is the starting point for everything she does.
Filling in the memories of the ups and downs of the human and seraph civilization, that is her hope and despair.
Relive her paranoia about responsibility and the guilt she carries, the sense of responsibility that has bound her life like a curse.
Reappear the powerlessness and confusion about herself, and form a strong but fragile heart with scars.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAHcoQnwzWmJ
Recalling the memories we see here, beyond dreams, forming imaginations────
28Please respect copyright.PENANAvaZBnQAfPC
The imaginary saintess in front of us didn't move, she just looked at us. still. ..like a doll.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAfnj4fplddC
"This isn't right, something is missing." I pondered to figure out what is missing.
"Maybe we put too much emphasis on the fact that she is a saintess. Before becoming a saintess, she was an ordinary girl, just like me and you, before we became Shepherd and Calamity, we were just ordinary people." Sorey looked at it with a smile. With me, I accept this fact that we take for granted but are always ignored by us.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAcyCVChuNkv
"...Maybe." And he wanted me to accept the fact that I was human too. Maybe his eyes mean that, but maybe there's more to it, right? "So what do you want me to do?
28Please respect copyright.PENANAxcrIU1Olan
"Well . . . I think you gave her the idea of an ordinary girl. . . " He scratched his head and smirked embarrassedly, this request was strange no matter how you thought about it.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA1JAR8w757c
". . . . . do you really think I can do it?! . "
But why... does he seriously think I can do it?
28Please respect copyright.PENANAich7nFXWwE
"You can do it, no matter how I look at you, you are an ordinary girl."
He smiled like he always did, making sure I could do it, which made me feel weird, but I didn't hate it.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAHkUyHFFBJw
"...isn't your definition of ordinary too weird? But....well, I'll try."
28Please respect copyright.PENANANUk2w1mbjV
So, what is an ordinary girl like, why does he think I understand???
28Please respect copyright.PENANAPCt1mijoOZ
Well, I don't understand the thoughts of girls, but I do know the thoughts of ordinary people.
Then I put the simplest things on this imaginary doll
28Please respect copyright.PENANAccaiRG8VAt
"I just want to live an ordinary and peaceful life, and everything around me is fine"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAhzLCWkN3Z6
This is an idea that everyone should have, and I used to hope like this. It is the simplest wish, but it is a wish that is difficult to achieve. Even so, they continue to work hard for this wish.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAXwQJuYI5kF
In this spiritual world, we have interfered with our imagination many times, and the world should have sensed our existence. This is probably the last imagination we can make.
So, we filled Pandora's box with all kinds of gifts, plus this final fantasy, can we finally get hope?

ROSE POV
28Please respect copyright.PENANAXyIY5Dydsw
After several requests for visits, Grimoirh, in view of Maotelus' relationship, decided to help.
After giving her an overview of the current situation, she thought for a while and presented me with a series of strategies.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAqtctYtK52d
"According to your description, there is only one dragon left in the enemy, and the enemy and the dragon have merged, so the dragon is intelligent, and according to your observation, he is a very sensitive and very cunning person." Grimoirh organizes the information given.
28Please respect copyright.PENANABuNWpz9QMf
"yes."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAuelpKgLqyo
"Our personnel are poor, and both Shepherd and Calamity have entered the belly of the dragon."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAk8ZWNlpcIE
"yes."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAlAcKNAY4ko
"Velvet is probably trying to cut off the opponent's strength from the root. I don't think she is the one who thinking to win by force without a plan. Now that we know that the other party has intelligence, it is a good chance to win by strategy." Grimoirh reasoned and thought the way to win.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAUzuNdxxujk
"How to say?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAHp9kKQ6wLQ
"First of all, a frontal attack is absolutely not advisable. We can only win by surprise. Therefore, we need to secretly prepare a trump card. In addition, we need to call in reinforcements from outside."
28Please respect copyright.PENANA3dMW3MKuST
"I understand the reason for a surprise attack, but do we still have reinforcements we can rely on?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAq5IoIgzLiA
"Yes, as long as Maotelus calls, there will always be someone to answer. But if foreign forces are used, diplomacy is still needed, and it's up to you."
28Please respect copyright.PENANA3xzHohl898
"That's it, I understand, I'll try my best. What's the deal with secretly preparing a trump card?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAFUV9LfSlOq
"This is our main counterattack strategy. First of all, we must disperse our personnel to many places for secret preparations and feints, and then disperse them into caves, forests, seas, and city walls. In order to hide from the retreating troops, the soldiers who were originally defending the city walls must maintain the same power output to attack on surface with a small number of people. This is the first step: getting away like the cicada sloughing its skin(金蟬脫殼), cheat under cover of a diversion (暗渡陳倉): maintain the empty skin of the original formation, so that neither enemy or friend will act rashly, secretly transfer strength, and conceal the attack route, secretly detour to the enemy's rear to attack, let him be unprepared for it."
28Please respect copyright.PENANADjEyAqMQSg
"Before I say the next step, I need to make sure we have ore that can absorb and release mana?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAcBlpgOWhA6
"Yes, some people have stored a lot of these ores in order to make giant robots."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAM6A5uYykBJ
"Very well, before taking the first step, we must set up teleportation artes at the scattered locations, and set up magic ore on the city walls and in the sea. I need this special ore to absorb magic power and return it at a specific time, so it is stored in mana within, and create heat."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAOGCBqYGeH6
"We must create an environment that can confuse the enemy, and for this we should create natural fog and storms. The scattered parts are preparing for this, the troops in the sea are responsible for warming the water, and behind the dragons, they create invisible ice crystals and fine dust particles to a certain extent, and the troops in the forest are responsible for cooling the land rapidly, creating fine dust in the air and controlling airflow. In this way, the air above the sea surface is created to be warm and the air is cold, and the air near the land is icy, which controls the range of convection. This can quickly form fog on the land, plus the control of air flow and speed, plus the force brought by the ‘Earth's rotation’, can form the climate phenomenon of tropical cyclone. This is the second step - creating something out of nothing(無中生有), crossing the sky and the sea with no one notice(暪天過海): concealing the true intention with superficial false actions, making The enemy has let down his guard and is deluded, and we will take real action at the right moment."
28Please respect copyright.PENANApiVR9FdfGH
"When the fog rises, you can make a four-way feint, distract its attention, bluff, feint and mix into the real attack, and make it lose its sense of direction and attack its weakness. This is the third step: putting artificial flowers on trees( 樹上開花), and l ook one way and row another( 聲東擊西). When the plan is carried out to this step, it is hoping reinforcements have arrived, or we need to hold off until reinforcements arrive."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAA2HfjU0iIM
"I didn't expect you, Grimoirh, to use these deceitful tactics. I thought you would hate people to lie."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAmMvVGLeYv2
"It depends on the situation. Of course I like sincere people. Humans invent these tactics for survival and victory. Later generations will compile these wisdoms into a book. I just use the knowledge where I think it is right."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAtik4Ay9rhD
"A lie that is necessary to survive huh? A lie is a necessary evil in the world."
"Yes, in order to prevent human confusion and panic, we have also established a taboo that we cannot tell human beings the source of malevolence. Instead, we blame other false targets, such as the so-called ‘Lord of Calamity’, ‘daemonblight’, just so that human beings will not have a large-scale outbreak of malevolence just because they know the truth.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAbWxldVd85o
"Although those who are called ‘Lord of Calamity’ have done heinous things to human beings, but as long as they have emotions, people or seraphim may do such things when they are carried away by emotions. They all have reasons behind them, but no one understands them."
28Please respect copyright.PENANA3JdU8E4S2u
"This may have been a very unfair treatment for them, so if any of them have a chance to be redeemed, I also hope that Velvet will have a chance to live again. That's why Maotelus wants to make the world without shepherds and the Lord of Calamity. Seeing Velvet desperately fighting like this, it's really hard to feel that she is doing this just for herself, and now she never once intends to sacrifice her companions to achieve her goals. She cherishes the people around her, which is why, even if the new comrades should also cherish her."
28Please respect copyright.PENANA9MhRhhLmQd
"Yes, she has a charm that make people can’t look away. Knowing the value of her companions, she will also cherish her own when fighting, so I also believe that she is not going to die, but I don't know if we killed the dragon first. It's up to them to come out first."
28Please respect copyright.PENANA4AQMExr8ra
"This is unpredictable, we can only do what we can do. The topic goes back to my strategy. When the plan goes well, we can finally lead the enemy to fall into the sea and ice him then activate the last teleportation in the sea. Send him to the cave, let the troops in ambush and other parts launch a final attack on him."

"Sounds feasible, but the plan may not go smoothly..."
"It can only be adaptable, and I can't think of anything else for a while."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAAhvVSaXrEI
"I understand, I will do my best to implement this plan."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAB1ajYJsKgo
I promised Grimoirh, and I did my best to prepare for her plan, and let people set up teleportation artes and magic absorption ores at the corresponding locations. This is a gamble with no back-up plan. If the bet is lost, it is not as simple as heavy casualties.
28Please respect copyright.PENANACEAaDHPckG
To get things going, we went straight to talking to Maotelus.
28Please respect copyright.PENANASiERZEDTSA
"Hello, Maotelus."
"Hello, Miss Grimoirh. Why are you here?"
"Rose she asked me to help, so I came to help, but I also have something to ask you."
"what is it?"
"Please stop you from directly interfering in the battle."
"Wha—Why would you—?!"
"I know you must be angry to know that Velvet was eaten by the dragon, so you want to help kill the dragon directly. But you should stop, you are an Empyrean."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAKhTw8L4mGn
"But teacher, you also know that the situation is very desperate. If I don't help directly, it is impossible to survive this war."
"You should calm down, I guess Velvet didn't die, nor did she plan to die, but to cut off the source of the enemy's power, just like she did with Artorius."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAbaeilvoIze
Maotelus looked surprised and puzzled, wondering if he should believe Grimoirh's words.
"You can sense whether Eleanor is still alive. After all, she is the seraph that you reincarnated, and is a part of your power. It is easier than sensing two humans."
28Please respect copyright.PENANATwreJru6wi
Maotelus nodded suspiciously, then closed his eyes as if he was following the advice to sense Eleanor's presence.
"Eleanor is still alive! And still in the state of seraph!"
"Then you should be more rational and may you listen to me?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAKiZqgGO7H6
"Yes, sorry, my teacher, it was my gaffe."
"It doesn't matter, I know you're concerning about Velvet, after knowing her condition, this reaction is expected. But you can't continue to interfere in the battle. Your behavior violates the oath of the Empyrean, and I can already feel your blessing to the world is weakened, and if you lose your strength and you can't win, that's the biggest loss for us."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAo7gEXsHpR8
"Then what should I do, we are out of combat power."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAvILnT5RuWd
"Calling for help instead, please tell me, what is the duty of an Empyrean?"
"It is to watch over the world in which humans and seraphim live, maintain blessing, and listen to prayers."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAnzhjfNeXVJ
"One more thing, you have to lead and trust your followers."
28Please respect copyright.PENANATyWtfddYEy
Mao suddenly realized and agreed with her words.
28Please respect copyright.PENANATud2pS468R
"Your followers are all over the world, call on them to help you. Remember, this is a battle of humans and the seraphim, and the Empyrean should not interfere directly."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAsegYbF1XLC
"Okay, they'll be my hope."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAQyXUCqgnsO
In addition to relying on Grimoirh to persuade Maotelus, I also live-streamed negotiations with countries we have diplomatic relations with, hoping someone from them can lend a helping hand. But it is a pity that no country is willing to help, after all, most of the towns we have destroyed are of little value, and they do not believe what I say, whether it is the benefits they will get or what is happening now.
When I was about to worry, I was pleasantly surprised by a sudden communication from Beta.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAFOPFmgsPj8
"Hey, Rose." Her voice over there sounded a bit loud, it didn't sound like she was in a mechanical garage, and her sudden communication made me suspicious.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAYGJLGauUm3
"Beta?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANArd9SoRLaO3
"I am in Ladylake, where simply in chaos, and I went back to where I was before without hindrance, I went back to the fallen Lost tower."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAzqJVLortRg
"What, how did you get there?!"
Really, what did she do when I went to see Grimoirh, I just didn't watch her for a while and she got this far again. It's dangerous to be there at a time like this, not to mention after the whole town being blown up, Ladylake without government and police organization. I guess the situation over there is extremely chaotic - anarchy, transportation roads cut off, no other place to help because there is no benefit, people are busy with civil war for supplies, money It has also become a waste of paper without the normal operation of the business. There is no place to live. Beta's guild originally came from there to take refuge. She naturally knew that it was in a very chaotic state, but she left at this extraordinary time. In such a place, in my impression, she is heart-wrenchingly sensible, but now it makes me very worried.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAHzTjz61wDB
"There are a lot of spare ammunition we have hidden there. I can borrow it to you. I am entrusting someone to transport it. The fallen tower is pointing in the direction of the dragon. If I remodel it, it can become a sniper tower. It is already being remodeled. If you have a specific time, you can tell me, and I will cooperate."
Beta completely ignored my question and continued to say what she was saying, not intending to answer my question at all. And from what she described, she was not going there alone, which was a relief but also annoyed because she seemed to Calling GAIA's adjuster to help, that is, the person who is in charge of watching her is now being called to run together by her. Her mobility and social skills are so high that I am at a loss, which is completely an accidental factor. Fortunately, she is standing on my side.
From what she said, I knew that she was helping me in a way that she knew, and even though I told her that was enough, Maotelus had sealed her mana circuit, and all kinds of blocking were of no use to her, she still felt that she is debt to me, and she feels that what she has done is utterly inadequate.
To actually ask a child whose actual age is about 6 years old to work so hard to help me, this makes me, an adult, feel ashamed.
She is really sensible and heart-wrenching, I can't change her thinking, so I can only guide her to help me correctly.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAOIWpFThL8z
"I see. When you see the fog here, you will attack, and you have to wait until the time comes. I will send the link of the live broadcast to your mobile phone. You can observe the battle first and then judge."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAB27Ll8FuDS
I tried to negotiate with other cities. Under the pressure of the church, Lastonbell was willing to cooperate with us to fight the enemy. As a city that focuses on the development of arts and crafts, the industrial development is in good progress, and their mechanical development is also very vigorous. I I think the same goes for weapons, after all, if you have high technology, you must protect yourself with strength.
28Please respect copyright.PENANASoUckMMTQz
Fortunately, the leader of the Lastonbell is someone who can see the seraphim, and he is willing to believe what I say, which makes the negotiation a lot smoother.
At this point in the project, all the elements were gathered as Grimoirh expected.
No, things have gone far beyond what we expected, and thankfully, it's all on the upside.

Alice/Vermillion pov
I certify my savior as my master and follow him and follow his ideals.
I have built a kingdom with mankind and witnessed its demise.
I have abandoned my comrades just to survive and find the next chance to be reborn again.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAZCD7oDV5f0
I took all the responsibility and chose to flee, I thought it was the end of the world.
I once again fought against the tyrant, rebuilt my kingdom, and the era prospered while me witnessing betrayal.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAoxeG4ntqMu
I wish to abandon everything, forget everything, and go to a barren place, a place full of malevolence, where there will be a quiet paradise, my resting place.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA2CLQiUfgN2
In my long and forgetful sleep, where I should have ceased to exist, I should have become a dragon.
I don't regret it, but tears still come from my eyes, someone whispers pleading in my sleep, calling my name, calling my soul from the heart.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAIpUsRgXmKJ
Feeling that I must respond to this strange call, I once again turned back from the realm of lost souls to the caller.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA80zt8FdN43
I opened my eyes and came to a blank world, with two human beings standing in front of me, both with firm eyes, like the eyes of a hero who wants to save the world.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAOpEJB9OCla
"Are you calling me?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAMuFcfALYU5
"Yes, are you Vermillion?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANA6lchJpE2PQ
They don’t seem bad and I am sure they have a reason to call me, I will just hear them out.
The two were named Sorey and Velvet, and they were external invaders of this world. They dared to invade the spiritual world of dragons. The idea was really whimsical and daring, and they looked like they were going to leave alive.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAVCQYHSd0SA
These two people explained the ins and outs to me, begging me to sever my connection with Tartarus and convince Tartarus.
No one else, it was the Tartarus I knew who was a bit twisted but valued his friends, and in their descriptions I gotta know he seemed to be a total sinner who really wanted to destroy the world and hated Claudin terribly.
Even though he had saved the world with Claudin, he wants to destroy everything now, as he did then.
Even if I think it doesn't matter how the world has turned out, I want to stop him and get to know and face him as a friend.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAFCbDclrvc8
I secretly sighed for the arrangement of this fate, maybe this is my last redemption.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAKWzBjbpuip
I agree with their request, the process was so smooth, it even surprised them a bit. But after all, I am no different from dying, and this is an opportunity to make up for my regrets, and I can't think of any reason to refuse. Answering them like this, Velvet said, I really am a saintess.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAQPENSgDDQv
I smiled bitterly, a saintess would never abandon her responsibility and run away.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA1jTcR7qqoR
I led the two back to the inner spiritual world where their companions were, met their companions, and were fighting Tartarus.
They were surprised by our presence and they stopped fighting.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAx5atGG62sJ
"Velvet, Sorey, the two of you have been there for so long, so you two were making children? And your child has grown so old, it's really amazing." The blond female seraph with the umbrella said so.
28Please respect copyright.PENANALeeo4g0Ama
"You...what are you talking about....what the hell? No!" Velvet hurriedly denied it nervously, without the image of explaining it to me seriously and calmly, I could probably guess the blonde hair girl was messing with her.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAk8vmn9EnxO
"You guys were doing that kind of thing there? Why are we staying here for so long?!" Eleanor looked at us with disbelief.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAn3TE4PVzCy
"Eleanor?! Why do you believe her bullshit? It's obviously NOT."
28Please respect copyright.PENANA2Lari7d2oc
"So nothing happened to you two?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANA3Uumf7Md1K
"NO!"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAnz1HrdPVl2
"Oh, you guessed it, Edna." She turned to Edna in disappointment and said.
28Please respect copyright.PENANArxfhQg3HzX
"What are you two talking about when we're not around..."
Seeing that the humans and the seraphim joked about each other without any scruples, I feel at ease that these people are still present. The current era is probably a prosperous age where humans and seraphim can coexist. And these children want to live peace in this era. Sorey is right, the era we dream of has come, and although it will vanish one day, they say they will continue this moment as long as possible.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAkBFPlY22Bk
"Did nothing happen? Didn't you two make a child?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANABJFrBr8aVy
"I said--"
28Please respect copyright.PENANA5zTtVnE5W9
"A child? Kind of." Sorey answered which surprised Velvet.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA9HJVzbTtvG
"Eh–?!"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAqADv4QP8n9
"After all, it's what we imagined together, but it seems that the soul of the real saintess is attached to her."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAyCjnKFwGUY
"---What the hell did you guys do, why are you here, why is Alice here?" Tartarus seemed rather surprised by my presence, until now. After all, this is the dragon's spiritual space. During the time he was sealed, he naturally didn't know that I ended up becoming a dragon.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAvGjSX2NpbM
By accident, Tartarus found me who had turned into a dragon, bred 'I' into the most powerful dragon, and fused with me, so as to gain the power to destroy the world. The malevolence that 'I' absorbed was also because of the oath I was given as the guardian of Fire Empyrean. It was the oath I was given by the high priest before I descended from heaven realm. I didn't expect that even after I became a dragon, this oath would still provide me with strength. Perhaps it was also because of the effect of this oath that my consciousness did not completely dissipate.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAftPEjxWPOf
Velvet recovered to the seriousness from before, looked at me, gestured to give me full control of the conversation, and no one else intended to interfere, I nodded, and began to perform my final duties.
"Calm down Tartarus, they didn't do anything, they just came into the world to wake me up."
"Wake up? . . . how is that possible?"
He knew very well that there were two masters of this world, the dragon he found, and the one who gained control after fusion–that was him, but he obviously didn't know what kind of seraph the dragon's predecessor was. Hence the word 'wake' He clearly took the meaning with disobedience to his understanding.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAJYYwDw6fW9
"You guessed it right, I'm this dragon, no, the seraph before I became this dragon. First of all, I have to apologize to you, I'm sorry. Although you fought by my side, I never really got to know you, at the same time I betray you for my own purposes. I can't think of any solution other than helping Claudin to seal you."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAVcIEm8WIhY
"What can you solve say about this now? You're in front of me again, which means you're coming to stop me, don't you?" Tartarus looked at me with distrust in his eyes, no wonder He, after all I was a betrayal to him.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAUG1P4stjcu
"After sealing you, Claudin was betrayed by humans, Melchior became more and more twisted, and after Claudin died, I wanted to leave everything behind, no matter how the world became, wandering around looking for a burial place, and the last The ending is to become a dragon. As a dragon, I went destroying the world with you, so I have already sinned with you, and I am not qualified to stop you, nor have the ability to stop you. "
28Please respect copyright.PENANAFWbXKwlh1s
"...even if you say so..."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAxZg6rmR2WT
"I'm not blaming you, that's my own choice. In fact, I have always held the same despair as you but turned a blind eye to my true thought because of my duty."
28Please respect copyright.PENANA7G4y2sXsaj
"........."
28Please respect copyright.PENANACo4CtzmsnS
"I understand that we have left you, betrayed you, and I have not been able to face you properly. It has always been my regret. I am glad that I finally have the opportunity to talk to you."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAJU5taSbxw3
"You feel sorry for this, for such a mongrel as me?!"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAjvwjM81nc1
"Of course I will regret. You are my rare companion, a fellow who feels the same as me, a friend who listens to my troubles as an equal."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAzwAODa1ozk
"...is this what you've always thought of me?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANA0ksZdFhyy6
"Yes, you are one of my friends who helped me when I was most at a loss. You are an important person to me."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAzfLEJ7xFhm
"...!"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAH4PjpbngaW
"I can understand your anger at those who are not grateful, but please don't destroy the world we once saved together. The people you hate are all dead, and the seraphim you hate can't be reached, so why are you going on like this? You won't get anything either, so stop it...before you lose everything."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAUcIr8dkJ5i
"You're wrong, I've had nothing for a long time...and I've made it this far, it's impossible for me to stop. I want to make the whole world feel PAIN!"
28Please respect copyright.PENANANs6kV4sUj7
"...Isn't it in front of you? What you have, a companion who can see you equally, she is on the same front as you, committing the same crime as you, and it is because you came to this world that you can meet her. Even so, deny it?" Velvet finally spoke, trying to change Tartarus' intentions.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAjtNNxorGlu
"Here is the one who acknowledges and allows you to exist."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAYHckQ9Rebr
"Let's start all over again, it's not too late to stop now!"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAzhJ0qRlvnG
"No....no....NO!!!! You're lying!! You're just an illusion they created!!! Disappear!!" My words still didn't reach his heart, Tartarus, who couldn't take it all, took the sword in his hand and slashed at me. I was a betrayer and he hated me deeply. I didn't ask for forgiveness, but I would accept any treatment.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA6YUNtdSNcf
"....if that makes you feel better.." I accepted Tartarus's attack calmly, the sword pierced deep into my body, and my body was disintegrating into pieces, this was the last thing I could do.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA9GUx9gpT2H
According to the agreement with Velvet, as the core of the spiritual world, I cut off the power and spiritual connection with Tartarus. This is her purpose. It was superfluous to let me talk to Tartarus, but she still let me talk, which may be her tenderness, and I responded to that, fulfilling my promise to her.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAWLPQRdbTcW
"Thank you." I said softly to Sorey and Velvet, thanking them for bringing me back to the world to meet my friends and say things I never said before.
28Please respect copyright.PENANASeZ093V4m7
"......Is this your choice?” A trace of sadness flashed in Velvet's eyes, she was not surprised by the choice of Tartarus, but seems that she felt a little disappointed.
28Please respect copyright.PENANANpSowayMry
“ Let's go, Sorey, Eleanor, Edna, our goal has been achieved, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave." And then she walked away with her companions and disappeared and left my spiritual world.
28Please respect copyright.PENANADoCbkALqBe
Tartarus, who was cut off from the connection by me, is no longer regarded as the master of this world, but as an invader. He who has entered the depths of the spiritual world will be trapped in this lost world with me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAYXlQaCHLIt
He is bound to escape, and as one of the developers of the spell ‘Alice’, he has the ability to leave this world, and I have to trap him for Velvet and Sorey, at least so that they can leave this world safely.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAoiuuNSPjdN
"You are a conscientious saint until the end, but I hope you can follow your own happiness--I think, Musiphe must have wanted to say that to you." Sorey told me so.
But as a dead person, I can no longer pursue happiness, I just want to be able to leave without regrets.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAykq4z6gvRE
"In the end, please act according to your heart, I think Claudin will definitely say this." Velvet said this at the end of the conversation.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAU0vap6Z1Tw
"I also think he would say that, because he has always lived according to his own heart and never regretted it."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAuKFTli5otl
"It is true, but he is not without regrets."
28Please respect copyright.PENANATYzMnHJWq1
"Why?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAugRutvHuMl
"He regrets not saving Tartarus and not saving you. So don't have any regrets in the end."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAhmH8qqFUaS
I don't know if she's telling the truth, but it doesn't look like she's lying, or she's just trying to console me.
"Yeah, in the end, let’s not leave any regrets."
28Please respect copyright.PENANAnQXQOPmqnJ
Before the final annihilation of my existence, I had to let him know that he was not alone, and...
The reason that even though the world is so desperate, I still love it.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAIoEcV7nr3f
"Will you stay with me for a few more minutes before I completely disappear? Tart." My hand pulled weakly at Tartarus' wrist.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAsk6pEV9STL
"....I said don't call me that." He pierced my body with a weapon, but he didn't dare to look at me, and his voice was trembling.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA1TBbPntDrz
"Look at me, will you?"
28Please respect copyright.PENANAlQARokTjg8
"...Ok." He turned his head slowly, opened his eyes, and looked at me a little scared.
I came to him not quite when I was a hallucination.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAxCZda0O3Jv
The last conversation, this is just the beginning, as long as he is willing to listen, I will tell him everything I want to say until the words are conveyed.

A.N.
Thank you for your patience in waiting for my occasional updates and patient reading!
Due to busy work and lack of inspiration, I have been unable to update!
I have always been troubled that the plot on Velvet side is too broad and cannot be written interestingly. Originally, I wanted to keep the plot on Velvet side written all the time without having to write the outside situation, but the last few chapters are all about the situation inside the dragon's body and the dragon's spiritual world. The plot is too unbalanced, so I had to add the outside plot.
I reviewed what I wrote before and found that many battles were somehow won by willpower, which was not realistic and I could not convince myself.
But because I wrote too exaggerated the battle situation, the outside situation is hard to win if they does not rely on willpower. I personally hate constantly adding settings to defeat strong enemies.
Although I hate battles or wars, if I want to describe them, the battles and wars I want can't be like this easy to solve. What I want to write is that humans maintain the weak and defeat the strong, rather than being protected by the strong to win.
I recently watched 'Ya Boy Kongming!', which inspired me to look into the ancient Chinese art of war. The wisdom left by the ancients is one of the few parts of me that I appreciate my own country. However, I only rely on the explanation and information on the art of war and formation of weather on WIKI, so as to described Grimoirh as the existence of someone clever like Kong Ming, so there may be a lot of mistakes, especially in the meteorological formation part.
In the first part, I tried to pay tribute to the 'three humble visits to a thatched cottage' in ‘Romance of the Three Kingdoms’, but because Rose is a businesswoman & assassin, it feels a bit darker and darker XD
The setting of the spiritual world has reference to INCEPTION (I am ashamed to see this masterpiece that late)
