Chapter 49 – Village of Oblivion
After numerous battles against the orcs, this village was finally devastated.
Only the rough shapes of the houses' foundations and the piling up rubbles remained. It looks more like a mountain of rocks and soil due to years of corrosion by the weather.
Is this where that enemy even Myne considered to be strong resides? I really don't think so.
Walking ahead, she turned her head around and said.
[This is where I was born. I was immediately brought to the imperial city soon after my birth, so I barely have any memory here. Regardless, this is an important place for me.]
[Wow…so this is, Myne's birthplace?]
Nhnn!? Isn't this strange? Thousand of years seemed to have passed since the village was destroyed. On the other hand, Gallia was destroyed about 4000 years ago.
According to what Myne had said just now, the village was still functioning when she was born.
In other words, Myne's actual age is more than 4000 years old.
This must be wrong…..because, she had that childlike look.
By the way, when she did said that she's [A ghost that is not allowed to die] to Aaron back then. From that I knew that she had lived for a very long time, but I never expected that it had been more than 4000 years.
The numbers was too surprising. If that's the case, not to mention me, she could even consider Aaron as a kid.
Still, 4000 years…….. I had lived for 16 years. I felt that getting to this point was a very long period already. And yet, Myne had already spent more than 200 times of that period.
Since she had lived since a very distant time, it's no wonder that some details in memory became lost or fuzzy.
Also, Greed told me that he and Myne knew each other. Does that mean he'd already existed 4000 years ago?
Greed also said that he and Myne shared some sort of relationship in the past, but he had given up on it since he can't turn back to his former appearance.
I suppose there was a certain driving force that kept Myne going for these past 4000 years. I think I'll find out about it in the meantime. If, by chance, it had something to do with the Mortal Sin skill, I shouldn't act as an outsider.
[Myne, is there something we need to defeat in this village?]
[Un, it's a bad match for me. That's why, I need Fate's power.]
[What kind of creature is that? Is it okay for us to walk around like this?]
[It's fine. You'll find out what kind of creature it is when we actually meet it.]
Apparently, it's not the kind of enemy that will ambush us.
I kept my hand on Greed's handle since I was still worried.
Even so, there were no monsters here at all . It's frighteningly quiet.
At the center of the desolate village, there were grave markers. Sides by sides, with some of them damaged due to the changing weather.
A white cocoon of unusual size sat above those grave markers.
What the, is that really a monster!? Is it okay to approach something that big!? Without much thought I drew Greed out from his scabbard.
Greed's bitter voice could be heard via 《Mind Reading》
『Chi, to think this thing is still alive……damn bastard』
[Greed, what is that?]
『An angel chimera. Back in ancient Gallia, it was an experimental project of the imperial kingdom's guardian. It was supposed to cease all of its function years ago.』
[You mean, this is an ancient weapon?]
『Good guess. This was Gallian Military biological weapon. It was made by splicing together various kinds of monsters. In my viewpoint, this was the worst failure ever.』
