I Have Crossed Over, but You Are The Second Week?

but--

"The identity of one of the archbishops of great crimes, the leader of the radical faction 'Greed' has been confirmed. Although the bishop is fighting, the current situation is not as simple as driving that man away."

"The monster 'Black Snake' has been released into this forest."

Standing on the only way to escape was one of the members of the Witch Cult who followed Qius and was responsible for providing the elves in the Elliot Forest with supplies for survival.

And he revealed information that Archie couldn't believe anyway.

Black Snake, it was created by the gluttonous witch before all the witches died, and it was one of the three great monsters that brought great disaster to the world.

At the same time, it is also the most ferocious of the three monsters, an absolute natural disaster that cannot be driven by anyone.

However, such a natural disaster...

"The Black Snake is ranked above the White Whale and the Big Rabbit. It is a pure disaster. Let a disaster that does not obey anyone's will to cooperate with this attack..."

"The existence that can do this... is the witch who came to this forest."

Members of the Witch Cult under Joss interrupted Archie.

"That is independent of the seven witches, even in the Witch Cult, it should be treated with caution and regarded as a taboo that cannot be touched!"

However, those were the rules when the witches were still alive and the great sage Flugel was still there.At this moment, I am afraid that Qiu Si is the only one who still abides by this rule and has never surpassed it.

The members of the Witch Cult did not say these words, because these things are just unimportant waste for now.His original intention was to protect little Emilia and help little Emilia escape from this place more safely.

The believers who followed Qiu Si were all members who firmly believed in the original Witch Cult.

However, just when the three were about to move on, an accident happened.

The arm of the Witch Cultist fell off from the shoulder.The outstretched hands simply turned into seams like the joints of a puppet.

And the section of the wrist after the hands fell did not flow out of blood.That's not because of old age, but because the wrist has become thin and slender, shriveled and rotted like a tree root that has lost water.

"It's the Black Snake—!?"

"—Run quickly!!!"

Witch Cultists, issued a final warning.

Chapter 418 The Identity of a Sage

The warning of the witch cultist did not bring enough time for Archie and Little Emilia to escape, even if they wanted to risk their lives to buy time for Archie and Little Emilia.

That's because a black snake is a disaster, a black snake is a disease, a black snake is a curse, a black snake is a plague.

As long as you are touched by the black snake known as one of the three major monsters, as long as you are attacked by the black snake, one of the three major monsters, as long as you have physical contact with the black snake, you will be infected with incurable diseases, and you will definitely die. The 'poison' that will perish and rot.

In just a few seconds, the Witch Cultist began to wither from the position of the severed arm, and his entire body was shriveled and sunken as if the water had been completely evaporated.Mouth, eye sockets, ear holes, nostrils, all places are overflowing with black and foul-smelling blood. There is no death that is more painful than this, and there is no pain that is faster than this.

I am afraid that besides the witch and the dragon, the only person who can stop the black snake is the great sage Flugel... Archie thinks so.

However, in the great forest of Elliott, when the witch has long since died, at the moment when the dragon is gone and Flugel is missing, there is no one who can fight against the black snake, and there is no one who can escape the pursuit of the black snake .

After the death of the Witch Cultist, Archie, who hugged her tightly as if protecting an incomparably precious treasure, was also attacked.

The ankle of his right foot was licked by the black snake's tongue. Such an encounter made Archie's only hope of escape shattered in his heart.

Pain emerged like a burning flame, and a red-black disease like a curse spread on the skin.Even if Archie cut off his right ankle like a battle-hardened warrior without any hesitation, he still couldn't stop the 'poison' attack.At the same time, he also lost the ability to continue to escape with little Emilia.

"The final result is that you are the only one who escaped, relying on the sacrifices of others."

Echidna looked at the appearance of Archie leaning on the tree trunk to entrust little Emilia, seeing the appearance of little Emilia running without looking back while shedding tears, and looked at the love beside her a little funny. Milia said so.

She's not being sarcastic about Emilia, or she's not trying to hit Emilia with the cruel fact that 'your life is built on other people's sacrifices'.

Echidna knew very well that even though all these experiences during the trial touched Emilia's heart, they couldn't arouse the guilt and self-blame in her heart.

There is a fundamental difference between Emilia standing here at this moment and the original Emilia. Even if she knows that her actions, thoughts, thinking, and language are wrong, she will still not repent. She takes it for granted as a woman.

And such Emilia can only have one answer——

"I am very grateful to them, whether it is Archie or the unknown Witch Cultist, it is because of them that I can escape from the Black Snake."

"But, that's all. If you want to see me feel sad and guilty about this, then you may have miscalculated. I will not be troubled by it. It is because of them that I can have the current me, I just want to thank you for that."

It's not that Emilia doesn't know how heavy their sacrifices are, just like she knows how important the responsibility is to save those frozen tribesmen in the Ariol Forest.

However, these feelings have long been abandoned by Emilia as a drag, as unnecessary feelings that hinder her from being with Subaru, how can she be confused and blame herself now?

"It's really indifferent. I wonder if Subaru will feel disillusioned after knowing your real appearance?"

"...Don't worry about that, I won't let Subaru know."

There was no trace of emotion in Emilia's eyes, and she looked at Echidna as plainly as a pool of stagnant water.

"And don't think that I haven't discovered it until now. The thing you said about Subaru's 'witch factor' was actually a lie to me."

"After all, Subaru's situation can be said to be completely different from that of Juce."

If it is someone who is not qualified, then there must be a rejection reaction like that of Qiu Si.And if it's a qualified person... even Juss can use the power of 'sloth' in the first place, why does Subaru have no reaction at all?

Then there was only one answer, the witch who never said a word to be trusted was using the importance she attached to Subaru to deceive her maliciously.

"It was discovered by you, but it's true... After all, the example of integrating the 'witch factor' is right in front of you. If you haven't noticed this, I have to suspect your intelligence."

Echidna didn't feel guilty or guilty about her lie being discovered, she just smiled with an expected expression.

"But I'm not completely lying to you. The Subaru you like has the qualifications to become a 'sage candidate'... no, he is qualified to become a 'great sage'~"

"...Sage? What do you mean?"

"The meaning is very simple!"

Echidna held up a finger.

"In this world, there is a type of people called 'sage backup'. This type of person is a person who has the qualifications to become a 'sage'. There is only one condition for becoming a 'sage backup', and that is ..."

"—Integrating all the witch factors. You must have such qualifications!"

Echidna stopped talking, but Emilia, who had already realized it, subconsciously opened her eyes wide.

Subaru, who was said by Echidna to be able to become a "great sage", must have met the qualifications of a "sage candidate", that is to say, he has the ability to perfectly integrate all the "witch factors".

"The 'Witch Factor' will automatically find the most qualified person nearby for fusion, and at the place where you are fighting sloth, no one present is more qualified than Subaru Natsuki."

"So, I'm not lying to you, Subaru is indeed a fusion of the lazy 'witch factor', but you have made unnecessary guesses about Subaru's identity, so you have completely deviated from the correct answer~"

There is no need to hide the discovered plot, Echidna explained Subaru's true situation, and at the same time introduced some information about this "identity" called "Sage".

"Hmm... It seems that I have said too much. Look, you have slowed down when you were a child. Where will she go next?"

Chapter 419 Unable to Make a Choice

Both Emilia and Echidna knew where little Emilia was going in the past revealed during the trials.

Emilia knew what she had done because she had recalled the past memories.And Echidna is because she has the "Book of Wisdom", a book that records all the "knowledge" in this world, and she has indeed experienced the current experience in the "reincarnation" she has experienced, so she has some experience. learn.

As for Little Emilia's destination, the place she wants to go is naturally not outside the Great Forest of Elliott. She did not obey Fortuna and Archie's instructions, and did not choose to escape without looking back.

—'Seal', that's where little Emilia is going.

Although little Emilia was afraid, it was not impossible for her to think.In other words, it is precisely because of fear and fear, and precisely because I am the only one left, that I will think harder.

Think about what you want to do, think about what is happening to everyone behind you, think about the purpose of the intruder, think about... how to help others.

Pandora, that beautiful and terrifying girl who couldn't even describe it in words once mentioned the word 'seal'.And little Emilia knew about it, and she had indeed been to the place where the 'seal' of the Great Forest of Ariol was.

Since it was the 'seal' that caused the conflict, even if it was the 'seal' that caused everyone to be hurt, then no matter what is in that 'seal', just give that thing out, right?

Even if you don't have the key to unlock the 'seal', even if you go there, you don't know what to do, but if you don't do something, there must be no way to change the current situation, right?

"So, you didn't notice the importance of the seal at all."

Echidna, who was a bystander, said so.

"It's obviously something that everyone desperately wants to protect. Since they have reached the point where they can even throw away their own lives, it naturally means that no matter what the situation is, they can't succeed as an enemy."

"But you are very straightforward and want to betray the efforts of those relatives."

"Even if you say that, I was just a kid who didn't understand anything at that time."

Emilia sighed.

"If it were me now, I would naturally not do such a thing. But at that time, I didn't have a mature mind. I was just a child who didn't think comprehensively and hoped that everyone around me would be safe."

"Hmm... do you want to excuse yourself as a child? I have to say that the excuse of being young and not serious is indeed a good reason."

"I'm not making excuses..."

Emilia sighed. Echidna's hostility towards her always fluctuated, which made her feel very difficult. After all, rationally speaking, she should not have any conflicts with Echidna.

"As for the immature things I did when I was a child, I naturally know that they are wrong. Even if I go to the side of the seal, even if I go back to Fortuna's mother, there will be no change."

"Even if the 'seal' is really opened, it's only a betrayal of the hard work and sacrifice of Fortuna's mother and the others, and it should not be done under any circumstances."

"only……"

Emilia looked at Echidna and asked: "Don't you have such a childish period, Echidna? No one is born mature, right?"

"...the period when the mind was naive."

Echidna remembered the time when all the witches were still alive, when the Witch Cult had not yet been established, and it was said that they had just had a concept and prototype.

At that time, compared to now, she can also be said to be naive in thinking to a certain extent.However, this kind of thing obviously wouldn't just be said, otherwise, wouldn't it be correct to admit Emilia?

So, Echidna changed her attack method.

"You talk so high-sounding that you think you now know what's right and what's wrong."

"Then, if something like this happened again now, but with Subaru instead of Fortuna, what choice would you make?"

"As you said just now, won't those who stand firm won't touch the seal?"

"Or, in order to protect Subaru's life, will you choose to hand over what you must protect?"

Echidna is very clear about what Emilia's weakness is now. Since there is no way to win when she is right, she might as well win for herself based on the impression of a 'witch' in the universal values.

Facing Echidna's question, Emilia fell into silence.

If one were to ask Emilia about her choice, she would definitely answer directly to unlock the 'seal'.Because in her heart nothing is more important than Subaru, even though Echidna said before that the 'seal' might destroy the world, but to be honest, in Emilia's heart the world is not as important as Subaru .

However, there was still a pain in Emilia's heart, and that was Subaru's rejection of her.
