“Before I wanted to make sure of something. Aren't you going to rampage and attack the city?”
Arcturus intends to leave because he does not want to be seen together with this terrible monster. But unfortunately he could not leave this dangerous monster alone.
No one knows what that damn, horrible snake might do. Moreover, the situation in the city was still unclear with the monster attack.
The reason why they are crazy is not yet known. Therefore, there is a need not to let Jomungandr act as he can.
Even though he had been kind so far but that did not mean Arcturus trusted him just like that. Even monkeys do not directly believe in humans who feed them.
“Hmm, that was indeed an interesting idea. But I was less than a year old and my wounds were not completely healed. So unfortunately I'm not interested in messing up.”
“I want to die peacefully,” so continued Jomu.
His words sounded weak and seemed very ready to accept it. Arcturus felt a complicated feeling hearing the heart of the creature who was sincere about his death.
How could one be so steadfast and resigned to death that was right in front of him?
“... You're not afraid of death?”
Living beings should have a fear of fate awaiting them at the end of the journey of death. Let alone humans, even a dragon-class monster would experience death when the time came.
No matter how special and powerful they were, in the end no one could go against the established lifespan.
“Lying if I say not afraid. But fear doesn't change anything. Besides death is the best rest the world has to offer.”
Life is a place where breathing creatures struggle and feel excruciating pain. Therefore life gives the best rest, death.
Through death he will not awaken again and amerta in eternal rest. Arcturus agrees with Jomu, fearing death does not change any reality.
Yet it remains extraordinary when one receives death waiting right in front of him.
“Is there no way for you to live longer? For example Artifacts that might help.”
Arcturus knew of the existence of an Artifact that might have been useful. But he could not say it because Arcturus himself was unsure.
Jomu gazed peacefully,“Ha ha ha, you are a good human being. Of course there is a way, but it is not an easy thing to do.”
Jomu was sure there was an Artifact that he knew was capable of anything. But he did not expect such a small possibility. After all, it seems impossible to find objects in the myth.
“I think there's a problem but it seems you don't have the spirit you used to. You really are getting old, Jomungandr.”
Arcturus gasped and looked for the origin of the speaking voice. He furrowed his brows at the figure that had appeared from within the forest. The figure that issued the intimidation was extraordinary.
Jomu also looked worried because the figure had a dangerous presence.
The man with the hood and black robe appeared. His face was hidden by the darkness of his hood and plus he was wearing a golden-pattern black mask. He carried a necklace with a reddish-lit skull head in his hand.
Arcturus furrowed furiously and bully his teeth in annoyance.
“Why ... are you here?”
It was a figure he knew from his previous life. Bastard who makes a lot of trouble.
“You don't seem to be human. Who are you?” ask Jomu.
The man simply ignored Jomu and his gaze was fixed on Arcturus curiously.
“You look foreign to me but feel so familiar as if we were brothers.”
“I think Goblin is better than to consider someone like you brother.”
Arcturus frowned ever deeper. He never remembered that there was such a strange person born in a Religious family.
‘Why does he say that even in this life as well?’
Both in his previous life and now, that bastard said the same thing. Until the end of his life Arcturus did not know what the reason was. He never even managed to kill her.
“Ah, and you .. Jomungandr why not go berserk? It's not like you were excited in the past.”
Jomu was surprised because that person was talking about the past. It could be said that the figure in front of him had already lived as long as he was. There were only a few people he could guess.
The one who managed to survive and hurt him.
“You recognize him?” ask Arcturus.
“Sure. He was one of the people who gave me wounds on my stomach and soul. I can't believe the witch who almost died from my poison is now a disgusting existence like Lich.”
The filthy figure that exists in this world and the denista of the gods, the Undead Lich. It was the kind of existence that had strayed from this world.
‘This Scene is Lich? I can't kill him!’
In the past Arcturus had dealt with this man several times and thought of killing him successfully. But no matter what he did, that bastard would only come back later.
Lich can't die in the usual way. It required a truly pure divine power to wipe its existence from this world.
“Ho ho? Looks like you didn't forget about me, Jomungandr.”
“Ha ha ha, how could I forget the great witch who cried until her pants were wet, right, Zegion?”
Zegion is the name of that troublesome Lich bastard.
“Is that you vice-chairman of Black Parade?!” ask Arcturus.
Zegion looked flabbergasted before a small snort. He looked at Arcturus with great interest.
“You know quite a lot apparently. Who are you?”
Before Arcturus and Zegion could act further, Jomu had already wagged his tail and made Zegion fly away.
It was also then that Jomu spoke to Arcturus through telepathy.
‘Man say your name.'
Arcturus was surprised but he understood Jomu's intentions and closed his eyes.
‘Arcturus Religion. That's my name.’
‘Religia? So I do, huh? I-i understand. You can trust.’
‘About what?’ asked Arcturus who furrowed his brows.
‘From now on listen and do as I say. You are now not enough to face it.’
Arcturus wanted to complain but he could not do so as Zegion threw a purplish black fireball. Jomu swiftly made defense magic and fended off everything.
“Padalaah I want to finish it well but whatever if it is like this.”
“When you came to fight!” Jomu stuck his tail to the ground.
His tail immediately appeared where Zegion was and continued to attack as if it never ended.
‘Go now, Arcturus!’
Arcturus had already heard the details of Jomu's plan via telepathy. He can't agree but unfortunately this is not the time he can choose.
‘Don't die here!’ Arcturus said so but unfortunately Jomu had already decided to telepathize with him the moment the terrifying aura appeared.
Arcturus jumped into the hole where Jomu had fallen asleep before as a terrifying aura appeared. But at that moment, the flow of time seemed to stop.
•??
His body — the world seemed to stop moving and everything looked like grey. The world became quiet and silent, as well as pseudo. In the middle of it all the foreign voices infiltrated into his heart.
•why did the Evil God leave his army in this world?
The voice of The Envy of Assassin spoke to him. No, rather he muttered.
•something happened without us knowing.
Time flow is back on the move. Arcturus began to fall back towards Jomu's lair. It was obviously very surprising because Arcturus had just learned that Ancient Determination still had its consciousness despite being inherited.
Not to mention, the word Assassin uses is kami— where it refers to more than one individual.
