735.

Leo returned to the Clock Tower when it was already deep into the night.

Chen Xia, who had settled on the sofa, served tea and said.

“Since it’s already late anyway, can’t I just stay here all night today?”

“Sia. You need to sleep early to grow tall.”

Leo chuckled after hearing Risinass’s words.

“She’s done for. She’s probably already fully grown, right?”

At that, Chen Xia looked at Leo with protesting eyes.

Leo completely ignored that gaze and sipped his tea.

Risinass stepped firmly on Leo’s foot and said.

“I understand how you feel, but you should go back now for today.”

“Can’t I stay just a little longer?”

“I’d like to talk with you more too, but… from now on it’s adult time, you see.”

“Ah.”

Chen Xia made a slightly flustered expression, then hurriedly bowed her head with a nod.

Seeing that, Leo got up from his seat and opened the door that could go anywhere, creating a path to the Knight Academy.

“Ha-have a good time.”

Chen Xia bowed in greeting and hurriedly returned to the dormitory.

Watching that scene, Leo clicked his tongue.

“Anyway, kids these days have such rich imagination in strange directions.”

“Why? She’s just cute.”

Risinass giggled and savored the tea Chen Xia had prepared.

“Good. Bihar also made tea well.”

Risinass, who had been briefly lost in old memories, put down her teacup.

“So? What happened during all this time?”

“How much do you remember?”

“My memory is fragmentary. Some memories are clear, but since I was in an incomplete spirit state, I don’t have other memories.”

“Then it would be faster to tell the story from the beginning.”

Saying that, Leo told Risinass about what had happened since his reincarnation.

The story of being born into the Flobe Family and entering Lumern.

The school life that followed after.

The existence of Hero Record.

The story of what happened in Arron, Luna, and Dweno’s worlds before meeting Risinass in the Heroes’ World.

And the process of how Arron, Luna, and Dweno came to appear in the present world after meeting Risinass.

“I see… so it was the Record System.”

Befitting Risinass who was called the King of Wisdom, she understood at once what the essence of Hero Record was after hearing Leo’s story.

“Did you know about the Record System?”

“Yes, it was one of the gods’ powers that had been passed down for a long time since the Age of Gods. I’ve seen something similar. Though I never imagined it would be implemented in this way.”

Having said that much, Risinass looked at Leo.

“Silatuna and the Giant King… even subjugating fragments of Erebos. Amazing.”

“I put in some effort.”

“You must have felt very wronged. To go through all that hardship and be reborn, only to be treated as someone who completely doesn’t exist in history.”

“I was incredibly wronged at first. But since I proved my existence with my own hands, I don’t care about it now.”

“If it were me, I would have been very sad the moment I learned my existence had disappeared from history. I would have been very angry too.”

“It’s all resolved now. It’s not that important anyway.”

“No, it is important.”

Risinass looked straight at Leo.

“History is very important. You can learn many things from history.”

“Your way of thinking is certainly different. I was just upset that I went through all that suffering and was forgotten.”

“How else would I be the leader?”

“Yes, yes. Leader. I will follow you forever.”

Risinass giggled watching Leo shrug his shoulders and rested her chin on her hand.

“How is it? Playing my role? Very difficult, right?”

“It’s so difficult it makes me miss you to tears.”

“You should have been good to me when I was around.”

Leo clicked his tongue watching Risinass smile brightly.

“Well, still, you’re doing amazingly well on your own.”

“It’s thanks to learning by watching over your shoulder.”

“Whoever it was taught you well.”

“No. I learned well.”

Leo and Risinass had a playful conversation.

Then.

Knock knock-

Someone knocked on Leo’s room window.

When Leo looked toward the window, Elsi poked her face out.

[Um, Leo. You have a visitor.]

Risinass was startled to see Elsi’s face and jumped up from her seat.

“Elsie, the Shadow Spirit?”

[Ah, nice to meet you. Risinass. Though of course this isn’t the first time you’re seeing me.]

Elsi lifted the hem of her skirt slightly and greeted with a bright smile.

Seeing that, Risinass made a bewildered expression.

5000 years ago.

It was already surprising that a great spirit who had perished in battle with the Overlord King existed, but she couldn’t adapt to seeing a spirit with an innocent and gentle impression that was the complete opposite of the gloomy and sharp appearance in her memories.

Seeing that, Leo said.

“This is Elsi before she met us.”

Leo had not told detailed stories when talking about Arron in order to quickly convey the situation.

“Her personality is quite different.”

“Elsi went through the same things the Guardian of Starry Skies experienced.”

Risinass, who heard a brief story about Elsi, closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh.

Agon, the Guardian of Starry Skies whom Risinass had wanted to put in her party.

Apart from individual strength, he was a hero with incredibly strong mental fortitude.

She thought that if such a hero went through something that broke him, even a great spirit would inevitably become like that.

‘Especially if it was a young spirit.’

It was understandable that she hated the world at that time.

Even so, Risinass smiled gently and extended her hand, thinking of Elsi who had ultimately sacrificed herself for the world.

“Nice to meet you, Elsi. I’m called Risinass.”

[I’m also so honored to meet you. I wanted to make a contract with you.]

“… It would have been nice if we had met a little earlier.”

Watching Risinass make a regretful expression, Elsi smiled brightly.

[I think there’s no need to feel regretful at all! In the end, thanks to all of you, the world was saved and we got to meet like this, right?]

“Luminous would have really liked you.”

Risinass, who had been thinking of her covenant partner, looked at Leo.

“Leo. Do you happen to know what became of Luminous?”

Looking at Risinass asking about the whereabouts of her covenant partner who had been sealed after suffering great wounds in battle with the Devouring King, Leo pulled out a necklace decorated with a brightly glowing gem from his chest.

“The Jewel of Light…”

“She was sealed until I went there.”

Leo continued speaking while watching Risinass look at the necklace.

“She saw this current era and left, so don’t worry too much.”

“That’s a relief.”

At those words, Risinass smiled with relief.

“By the way, didn’t you say a guest came?”

[Yes, it’s a guest who came to see Risinass.]

“Me?”

When Risinass made a bewildered expression.

A fairy flew in through the gap of the open window.

Golden powder scattered with each flap of its wings.

The wing powder of the Fairy King, valued as treasure by alchemists.

Risinass was startled after confirming the visitor’s face.

“My goodness! Silorod!”

[I’m so happy to meet you again! Risinass!]

Silorod flew into Risinass’s arms while shedding tears.

“You’ve been alive all this time!”

Meeting a being who remembered him in a world where 5000 years had passed gave Risinass great emotion as well.

Sharing their reunion after thousands of years, Silorod was genuinely delighted.

“You’ve become a proper Fairy King now. Katariou was worried that you might abandon your personality because of Luna.”

[No matter what, with my personality I could never follow Luna’s example.]

“Well done. There’s no need to learn bad habits.”

‘If Luna heard this, she’d go ballistic.’

Watching the two conversing, Leo spoke.

“Silorod.”

[Yes, Kail.]

“Is there anything wrong with the Erebos fragment sealed in Fairy Land?”

The atmosphere became serious at Leo’s question.

[No. It’s still sealed. There’s no particular movement either. Why?]

“It’s nothing special.”

Just as Leo was about to open his mouth.

Bang-!

Leo’s door opened roughly and a beautiful child with gray hair and eyes of indeterminate gender tumbled in.

Seeing this, Elsi and Silorod instinctively hid behind Leo and Risinass.

As sensitive spirits and magical beasts, they were overwhelmed by the aura emanating from the being before them.

Risinass tilted his head slightly.

“A god should dislike gray, shouldn’t they?”

“You recognize it at a glance?”

“I’ve met many gods. Fundamentally a god, but seems a bit different too.”

It was when Risinass narrowed his eyes.

Rian, who had fallen on the floor, got up and looked at Leo.

Then screaming ‘Kiiiiiiik!’ while covering his face, he moved as far away from Leo as possible.

[Wh-why is that person acting like that?]

When Elsi asked in a frightened voice, Silorod, who had been hiding in Risinass’s hair, spoke carefully.

[Is that person really a god? Even among gods, I don’t remember any who were that crazy.]

[Are gods originally mostly crazy?]

[Yes.]

‘Pibua would have felt wronged if he heard that.’

Leo clicked his tongue while recalling Pibua, the only god in his memory who had normal thinking.

“Ahh! So dazzling! Risinass, the King of Wisdom who guided Lord Kail! And even the summoned creatures who shared that journey! Yes! This place must be a museum! The greatest museum in the world! Ah! We must preserve this place forever and declare today a world holiday! And designate it as a public holiday to celebrate this day! The holiday period should specifically be one week! Yes! One week would be perfect!”

“Somehow it seems like you’re getting crazier as time goes on.”

“Ahh! The sun! The sun approachesssss! More brilliant than usual! If I stay like this, I’ll go blindddd!”

“Wear sunglasses.”

“Aha!”

Rian took Leo’s advice and put on sunglasses.

“Oh. Now I can clearly see Lord Leo’s countenance… No! To look upon Lord Leo’s countenance with these black glass fragments before my eyes! Such blasphemy!”

Rian threw away the sunglasses and knelt before Leo.

“Lord Leo. For this blasphemy, I shall pluck out my two eyes…”

“You’re being particularly dramatic today.”

“I have no choice! None other than Risinass, the King of Wisdom, is by your side, Lord Leo!”

“You mean me?”

When Risinass asked with a reluctant expression, Rian nodded.

“Yes. Risinass. Because you are by his side, Lord Leo shines even more brilliantly!”

“Why Risinass?”

“Wasn’t it the King of Wisdom who gave light to the dark Lord Leo? The one who guided Lord Leo onto the path of a hero!”

Leo grabbed the back of Rian’s neck with an indifferent expression.

Then he roughly threw him to one side of the sofa.

But Rian immediately approached Risinass and held out a statue of her.

“King of Wisdom, please give me your autograph.”

“…”

When Risinass reluctantly gave an autograph, Rian smiled happily.

“This adds to my collection.”

Genuinely delighted, Rian put the statue into his extradimensional space and finally introduced himself.

“It’s an honor to meet you, great King of Wisdom and King of the World, Risinass. I am Rian, administrator of the Record System.”

Rian, having shed his previous fanatical atmosphere, introduced himself politely.

“I’m called Risinass.”

“I would like to seek the wisdom of you, the incarnation of wisdom.”

At those words, Risinass made a puzzled expression.

“Even if gods aren’t omnipotent, they should be omniscient beings, so is there a need to seek wisdom from me, an earthly being?”

“While it’s true that gods are omniscient beings, that’s only limited to transmitted knowledge. Regarding knowledge that hasn’t been transmitted, we are ignorant.”

Rian, kneeling, spread his arms.

“Also, knowledge and wisdom are different. You know that fact best.”

“What you want to ask me… are you talking about records of the ancient gods?”

“Yes. Their records don’t remain in the Godly Realm.”

“Ancient gods? What’s that?”

When Leo made a puzzled expression, Risinass answered for him.

“It refers to the gods who opened the Age of Gods. Of course, some of those gods existed until the end of the Age of Gods… but they all perished when the Age of Calamity began.”

“Aren’t gods fundamentally eternal and immutable beings?”

“That’s right. But they’re not immortal beings.”

Risinass answered matter-of-factly.

“Eternal immutability is just a divine power. Before beings who can nullify that power, even gods lose their existence.”

That being was none other than the Primordial Evil, Erebos.

“Just as even the immortal being Erebos loses his immortal power before your four pure characteristics.”

Leo crossed his arms.

“So you’re saying you know about those ancient gods or whatever?”

“Probably.”

“What do you mean probably?”

“I mean it might be transmitted in the knowledge of dragons.”

Risinass tapped his own head.

“I have something like a Record System in my head too, though it’s crude.”

“What?”

“I told you earlier. That I’ve seen something similar to the Record System. Of course, this was made by dragons, not gods.”

Having said that, Risinass looked at Rian.

“So what are you curious about?”

“So what are you curious about?”

“You know well that the flames of destruction have existed since the beginning, don’t you?”

“Yes. That’s why it’s called the Primordial Evil.”

“Before the age of the gods began. The Primordial Evil lost its power in an instant. That’s when the gods completely pushed the Primordial Evil outside the world.”

“I know that too.”

For Leo, this was a story he knew nothing about.

“I’m curious if that abomination swallowed something at that time.”

Hearing Rian’s meaningful words, Leo understood what Rian was asking about.

“Swallowed something?”

When Risinass made a puzzled expression, Leo spoke.

“Ice that doesn’t melt.”

“…?”

“Like flames that don’t extinguish, I discovered ice that doesn’t melt.”

“What?”

Risinass’s face hardened.

Leo told Risinass about the hypothesis Rian had shared after witnessing the ice that wouldn’t melt some time ago.

After hearing that story, Risinass opened his mouth.

“If there were various evil gods besides Erebos before the age of the gods… and Erebos devoured those evil gods. One of the fragments might have been resurrected in the form of that evil god?”

“That’s right.”

“…This is serious.”

Risinass took a deep breath.

“Then let’s try to find out. I’m not sure if it’ll work well though.”

Saying that, Risinass stood in front of Leo.

“Why?”

“Put your hand on my right chest.”

“Are you crazy?”

“You think I’m asking you to touch me because I like it?! I need my dragon heart to open the Record System in my head!”

“So?”

“Did you forget that I gave you my dragon heart?! You’re the owner of my mana, you know? Whether you like it or not, your body needs to touch my dragon heart!”

Risinass scrunched up his face.

Watching Risinass like that, Leo scratched his cheek and placed his hand on Risinass’s right chest.

Along with that, black mana began flowing out from Leo’s body.

Gooooo-!

Soon, the moment Risinass’s mana enveloped Leo, Leo’s vision went dark.
