Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 329
Chapter 58. Peas again (4)
– Tuk.
I lightly kicked one of the corals near my foot.
As a result, my shoes, which came out of the air bubble for a moment, were soaked with seawater.
I didn’t put any pressure on my feet and the coral was quite hard. Because of this, the coral was fine and the shoes were soaked in salt water without any benefit. I didn’t like that, so this time I rolled a little hard on the sandy floor. The white sand is a little disheveled.
“Did I scare you again?”
But Arnaizel asked this.
Calian, who was staring at Arnaizel with big eyes, realized the meaning of the question only after recalling what he had said when he had just entered the sea. He made a face as if he was displeased with the surroundings and answered, ‘It’s because I was afraid of the sea,’ so I asked him if he was still afraid of something.
“no.”
“So did I say something you didn’t like?”
“I didn’t say that.”
“Or are you angry?”
“I’m not angry.”
“But you don’t look good.”
“You’re being grumpy. I just found out that the axis of time was created by Sispanians.”
“I feel good when I find out something I didn’t know.”
“There are better times, me too. Not now.”
Eyes full of curiosity.
I realized that he was asking out of genuine curiosity rather than out of concern for Kalian’s feelings. They are a species that wants to know and understand everything.
“It just happens sometimes. It just happens.”
Calian, who was unable to fully explain to Arnaizel that Sispanian had hidden the truth, gave a vague answer.
It is not because of the fact that Cispanians created the axis of time, but rather shallow grumpiness for not having told them about it until now. Not only is he not a Cispanian who wanted to cause the soul of a dead person to enter the body of the wrong person, but he also failed to properly say who created the axis of time thanks to the damned Serenti, who made someone else’s life a mess while comfortably ignoring it. I knew it all too well. That’s why I just got grumpy.
“Anyway, okay. I’ll give it to Sispanian when I get back to Kairis.”
“Yes. Thank you for helping me.”
“instead.”
“…… instead?”
“Let me ask you one thing.”
There is nothing free in this world.
I ruined the peaceful sea view thanks to Arnaizel, so I guess I can ask for that much. Therefore, Calian’s lips slightly lifted as he applied the immutable truth evenly to the sea dragon’s request.
“Do you know what King Secretia did with the axis of time during the War of the Two Gods? He probably didn’t use it to turn back time before the evil god, so it must have had other uses.”
There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but these were the ones that Arnaizel knew. Even though he acts like a child, Arnaizel has been living since before the War of the Two Gods.
Arnaizel opened his mouth a few times. But I can’t hear my voice. Now just by looking at that picture, I can clearly see what happened.
Serenti blocked it again.
Don’t let me know the answer.
Perhaps out of frustration, Arnaizel raised his hand and scratched his blue hair. Then, it struck the rock nearby with its tail fin, which was as beautiful as a jewel. It looks like he learned a lot from seeing Calian being grumpy just now. Calian, who couldn’t decide whether to smile or frown at the thought that someone seemed to have a natural talent for teaching, opened his mouth.
“It’s okay. I don’t know when or why the axis of time was created, but it must have been given to the Great King to be used to slay evil spirits. It must have been used well.”
“No, you. I misunderstood.”
Arnaizel gave up on speaking and stayed quiet for a moment before saying something else.
“The reason Sispanian created it was because of evil spirits. But it wasn’t to deal with evil spirits. In the end, it was used to catch evil spirits, but that wasn’t its original purpose.”
“Then what…”
“At that time. Do you know what the first thing Sispanian did was?”
Instead of giving the correct answer, Arnaizel asked if he knew what the first thing Sispanians did when the War of the Two Gods broke out. It was something Calian knew very well, so it wasn’t difficult to find the answer. Because I learned a lot about the Yangshin War.
“protect.”
A dragon killed by an evil spirit. And other races. The Sispanians hid the surviving individuals. However, the number that Sispanians were able to hide was extremely small. It wasn’t because they lacked ability, but there weren’t that many people who survived. Calian’s red eyes looked forward as he thought of that.
The power to control time.
So, Cispanian.
“No way, trying to revive all the dead people.”
“It’s similar, but I made it just in case everyone died.”
It was created to be used as a last bastion in case everyone, including Cispanians, died in the war against the evil gods.
“But in the end, I didn’t use it. Even after the war ended, I couldn’t destroy it, but I decided not to use it either. The humans who received the axis of time only used it to catch evil spirits, not to turn back time. Even though there were a lot of things that disappeared, not all of them died. ”
The Sispanians did not revive a lost race.
King Secretia, who received the axis of time from Sispanian, also only focused on dealing with evil spirits. The heroes who died during the war did not bring back to life their lover, Bern Neriad.
After the war, time passed.
Sispanian did not turn back time for the dead Hatsuara.
“Because you can’t do that.”
Even though I could have done it.
Because it shouldn’t be done.
It is completely understandable why that power was not used. Even if it all came together and fell into Calian’s hands, I would have rather destroyed it, but I had no intention of wasting my time messing it up. Just like Chase and Verne did in the past, this time too.
“Okay. I understand. Just roughly.”
“I’m glad you understood. Don’t forget to tell Sispanian. Please tell him.”
“Okay. I won’t forget.”
Arnaizel nodded.
Then he spoke with a refreshed face, as if one of his worries had been relieved.
“thank you.”
Arnaizel raised one hand.
“Then see you next time, bye.”
He waved his hand vigorously at Calian.
And then disappeared. has disappeared. Instead of moving Calian back onto the ship, Arnaizel disappeared. Leaving Kalian in the sea.
Arnaizel didn’t know. It wasn’t revenge for calling me a fish, I really didn’t know. Since Calian decided to grant my request, my heart became lighter and I was so excited that I forgot about it.
So, this was the sea, it was under the sea, the fact that humans do not have gills and fins, and one more thing. Also, Kalyan can’t swim.
“…… under.”
Calian, whose face was full of complex emotions, let out a laugh.
The sea water that had stopped is moving.
Slowly little by little. Time began to flow again around Kalian. At first, I saw the water moving at the tips of my feet, and then the water where I stood. A black shadow flutters as if the aquatic plants a little distance away are shaking. One by one, the fish that had stopped within reach, as if stuffed in place, swam again.
The huge air bubble that contained Kalian changed into small bubbles. As if a large glass bead was breaking into pieces from the bottom and disappearing, starting from the tips of the feet, then around the ankles, calves, and finally around the knees, then around the neck, white bubbles rose and rose towards the sea level and disappeared.
My toes get wet. Water rushes in. My body shakes. Swept away by the current. The ship that was overhead until just moments ago suddenly moves further ahead.
“Damn fish.”
He told me not to forget it, but he actually forgot it.
Just before the air bubble completely disappeared, Calian chose to curse at Arnaizel instead of taking a deep breath and kicked his feet upward with all his might.
Coffee Green Pepper Grapefruit.
And blue-backed fish.
– Master.
I thought that there was one more food I disliked.
– Master. Can you hear me?
There was no answer from Alan.
The time on the ship furthest from Calian has not yet been resolved.
I’m out of breath.
* * *
There is no wind.
Alan’s movements stop. I noticed that my eyelids, which had been blinking very slowly, were no longer moving. I realized I wasn’t breathing. I had already felt that my heart was not making any sound. But I didn’t feel frustrated at all.
Didn’t you know the feeling of your heart stopping?
The sensations then and now are clearly different. There is nothing wrong with the heart and lungs. The body is fine.
My eyelids didn’t move.
I couldn’t even turn my eyes. However, I could see that the moonlight shining on the sea was briefly obscured by clouds and then brightened again.
This means that the clouds in the distant sky are flowing without any problems. The fact that the clouds were covering the moon and then passing by again meant that only the place where I was currently standing was still standing.
Once I figured it out, I noticed it.
Someone has tied up the time around here.
Arnaizel. Probably not. It was definitely something he did.
As my younger brother, who is now completely adept at causing accidents, said, I wonder if he received the Sispanian blessing in his head. Otherwise, I couldn’t tell if this was simply the effect of a blessing or if there was another reason. But one thing was clear.
The head that didn’t sleep properly even in dreams.
– …… Flash.
That I cannot even accept the gap in time that stops alone in the world.
* * *
There were many times when I couldn’t sleep for a long time.
There were many times when I was injured right before I died.
But I have never been able to breathe with a healthy body and a healthy mind. I had no desire to experience something like that.
So, I kicked my feet with the power of an auror and used the power of the wind. Thanks to this, we got high enough to see the moonlight. I saw the water’s surface moving and waves hitting the boat that was not too far away. So soon, time would pass by where Alan was.
It was good up to that point. It was good…
but now that I think about it, it was like this back then, so it sank.’
If I had known this would happen, I should have worn lighter clothes.
The prince’s layers of clothes were so heavy and cumbersome. Every gold button on the jacket and every jeweled cuff became an obstacle. To put it simply, it means that even though it had risen so high, it was unable to take a breath and began to sink again.
Calian once again used his magic power to move his body toward the surface.
Then suddenly I burst out laughing.
I couldn’t use my auror, I couldn’t use my magic, and if Alan hadn’t been there, I would have gone out to see the sea at night and died because of the forgetfulness of some big blue fish, leaving behind the words, ‘I’ll just treat you as if I saw a whale, brother.’ It came out.
I thought that if someone saw this, they might ask if you were laughing underwater, but I laughed anyway. It was still bearable, and the water was moving, so Alan would soon wake up. If that happens, I will be put back on the ship without any trouble, so I can only laugh peacefully.
“I’m laughing. Now.”
But then I heard someone really ask this.
weird.
I see a talking seaweed.
It looks like immature seaweed, but something that speaks human language grabs you by the collar.
– Wow!
And pulled it out of the water.
Maybe I should thank you for pulling me up by the collar instead of shaking my head. Brother, should I ask you why you are here? I was sinking, but you, my brother, were floating by holding on to a rope. I thought it looked like duckweed, but should I be surprised if it was real?
I was so lost in my worries that I even forgot to laugh.
“Breath. Calian.”
The low voice addressed to Calian told him what was more important than laughter right now.
The red eyes that had been closed opened again.
I breathed as if I was drawing air deep into my lungs. I breathed as if I had encountered air for the first time in my life.
After that it sank again.
Thanks to that, I was grabbed again by the collar and lifted above the water.
Pea’s clothes were more cluttered, but he felt aggrieved that he was sinking alone, and was about to breathe again a couple of times.
– Flash!
A pure white light shines from the huge sailing ship.
The great wizard, who had finally regained his time, called the two. He held his son, who was still younger than him, and his older brother, who had gone down to the sea first to rescue his younger brother, in one arm and patted their backs.
Calian rested his forehead on Alan’s shoulder.
Peas came again.
He said that Master would have come on his own anyway, but Pea had somehow managed to come alone.
Instead of saying long words, I took a breath.
