Swordmaster’s Youngest Son

tant job to these runts? Do you even know how long they suffered?”

 

「…That was because it was the beginning of human history, and the natives were ahead of their time.
Back then, they were the strongest tribe on the planet.」

 

The ancient relatives of the Kollon natives were the rulers during the early ages of humanity.

 

「Furthermore, in my sealed state, I couldn’t intervene with their actions.
I couldn’t help them advance their technology and create a stronger civilization.」

 

The natives were speechless at their own worthlessness, and Kullam opened his mouth once more.

 

「However, my decision was right.
Thankfully, Solderet’s thousand-year contractor found me.」

 

Kullam walked towards Jin.

 

「Take it, Jin Runcandel.」

 

Jin received the mirror, and the spiritual energy undulating on the surface of the mirror suddenly died down.

Just by touching it, he could feel the immense energy of the spiritual energy seal together with the infinite mana pool that was shocking him like electricity.

The two energies mixed and roared inside his body.

 

「On the item you are holding is the force that is saving the world from destruction.
Solderet’s seal.」

 

Jin never knew such information about the Fountain of Mana.
He just thought that it was an overpowered artifact that would increase one’s mana.

 

‘This isn’t an artifact but a weapon of mass destruction.’

Holding the mirror, he felt that his mana rapidly increased—as if he could gain at least 7-star on his mana just by holding onto it for a day.

 

‘However, every second my mana increases, the seal grows a little weaker.’

 

If one didn’t have the ability to use spiritual energy, they would not be able to sense it.

 

‘If someone used this without knowing and the seal broke… It’d be all over.’

 

The Zipfels did exactly that in his past life.

As they cranked out thousands of magicians, the seal grew weaker and weaker. 

And during that process, consequences would definitely arise.

 

“So, has the duty of protecting this been passed on from the Kollon natives to me?”

 

「To be exact, the Kollon natives were protecting something that only you—Jin Runcandel—can protect.」

 

“That is an exceedingly heavy task.
I’ve watched the natives suffer even after centuries of oppression without anything in return.
Of course, I doubt I will face such fates.”

 

Kullam nodded. 

 

「You’re right.
I, as a god, have done nothing to the people who worshipped me.
But since I was sealed, there was nothing I could do, so my case is different from yours.」

 

“How so?”

 

「Solderet’s seal.
That is not just any seal, but also a present for you.」

 

“This seal?”

 

「That is a creation that Solderet used when he was in his most powerful state.
It is not just dense spiritual energy, but a part of the God of Shadows himself.」

 

“My original reward for this conquest was being able to see Solderet one more time from Lady Laosa’s call…”

 

‘She said that because she does not know that you are living your second life.
Neither does she know how you got such an opportunity.’

 

Kullam swallowed those words and met Jin’s eyes.

「She probably lied to convince you to help.
How would she be able to call such a being when she can’t even address your black dragon?」

 

In his past life, Jin faced death, and his connection with Solderet was severed.
Murakan lost his connection with his god after losing a battle against Temar.
They were two beings who weren’t receiving any protection from their god.

 

「On that note, you two have a similar fate as the Kollon natives.
Maybe that is why you help them so much.
Because you saw a reflection of yourself in them.」

 

Kullam lowered his head for a short bow.

Seeing this, Talaris felt a shock in the back of her head.
She had never seen a god bow down to a human.

 

「I feel deep gratitude for you who protected and helped these people.
Now, to put those other fellows in eternal slumber.」

 

Before Jin could even respond, Kullam’s body slowly became transparent—akin to salt dissolving in a river.

The epiphany was ending, which also meant that Laosa’s body was going to disappear as well.

 

“Kullam! Prophet Laosa!”

 

Jin tried to hold on to Laosa’s disappearing body, but before he could even reach her, her body was gone.

Kullam—with all of his power sealed in the mirror—could only appear because Laosa sacrificed herself. 

 

“…Hmph, alright.
So you’re Solderet’s contractor.
Well, I heard a lot of fun things today.
And saw a god bow down to a child.”

 

Startled, Jin looked at Talaris.

Associates of the Hidden Palace had just found out a lot about him.

 

“Madame Talaris.”

“How about we get out of here? I think that they’ll wake up in a few hours.
And that over there looks like it’s gonna crash any time now.”

 

Her finger was pointing at the Kozak that was split in half and slowly descending to the ground.
