I stopped being a warrior and became the strongest

Abyssal

Rrrrrrrr

Along with a small house in the middle of a rainfall.

I see Odyssey talking to someone in the house.

“Aren’t you sleeping? You’ll need to sleep early so you can focus on your work again tomorrow. ”

Odyssey shakes his head at Nerin’s question.

“I just… couldn’t sleep. Maybe it’s the weather. ”

“Is there something on your mind? ”

Odyssey didn’t answer the Elf’s question easily.

Nerin smiles awkwardly and slowly sits on the bed.

“Even if I were Kennon’s warrior, I wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t listened to your music. ”

“ · · · ”

Maybe it’s because of her sincere tone.

Odyssey, who loves to talk, opens his mouth slowly.

“Concerns… I just thought that rather than worries. I ran to my heart’s content and purpose, and with his help I had a great opportunity. ”

“Are you referring to Ser Dan’s second birthday? ”

“That’s right, a lot has changed since the concert. because he had successfully demonstrated a new musical chorus that had never existed in the world, and his first song,” The Threshold, “had been greatly rewarded. ”

His name is widely known throughout Eldrad.

Famous musicians started playing “hits.”

A lot of people remember his song, too, don’t they?

“Not only that, of course, but the meeting with the elders of Kenon and the face of great artists was all possible because of his help. It wouldn’t have happened without his help. ”

“Then there’s nothing to think about, is there? ”

But Odyssey shakes his head at Nerin’s question.

“Sometimes I think, I wonder if I’m really going the way Tang Khan wants me to go, or if I just happen to be going the way Tang Khan wants me to go. Or maybe I’m going the wrong way and I’m suffering like this.”

“Odyssey…”

Nerin reaches out to stroke his cheek with grief.

“It’s okay. I’m… it’s okay. ”

Odyssey pushes her hand with an awkward smile.

“Even if he strays from the path he desires, if your faith is strong, he will guide you to the right path as always. So don’t worry too much. ”

A little soothing in Nerin’s true comfort.

Odyssey nods and looks out the window.

“ · · · ”

Rrrrrrrr

Whether it’s the rain or the dark.

The outside doesn’t even see an inch ahead.

Kwa-nung

But when lightning strikes intermittently.

“Tsk.”

Odyssey frowns and tightens his ears without even knowing it.

‘It’s just that the weather is changing… it’s okay. It’s okay… That’s not a dagger. ’

After the concert.

Maybe it’s because they’ve been attacked so many times.

Now, lightning looks like a dagger.

‘Clearly, moving to a home has decreased the number of raids…’

If all of a sudden assassins come out of the shadows.

He will have no choice but to wage a life-threatening battle.

“.. I know for sure that beyond the darkness is our garden and there is a wall, but why are we still so anxious? ”

“It’s just because we can’t see it. I don’t think I’d mind if I woke up. ”

But also her consolation.

Odyssey’s wiggling pupils have nowhere to go.

She whispers in his arms tightly.

“There’s nothing to be nervous about. Everything’s gonna be fine. Tomorrow you will play music as usual, and many Elves will pray for your new song. ”

“If I really wanted my song, would all those assassins have invaded my house? When I saw the bed where their daggers were torn apart, I felt…”

Odyssey is anxious to recall old memories that were not good.

He continues to stare out the window.

“I… I don’t get it. If you liked my song so much, you couldn’t understand why the king was guarding it… ”

It was true that Serdanese II’s support made his name and song famous.

Along with the fame, countless raids and plots followed.

Ser Dan II stood in the way of his crisis.

“Cerdon II clearly cares about you. If you think about it, not all the people who had talked about the name of Tang Khan in front of him had ever been saved. But not just for you. ”

Nerin strokes Odyssey’s head and continues.

“It didn’t do you any harm, it provided you with a wider opportunity. Isn’t that right?”

“I admit that the king’s birthday was a clear opportunity for me. But if he really thought of me, he would have stopped the assassins from attacking like bees. Isn’t that right?”

“That’s…”

Nerin is silent for a moment, then carefully opens his lips.

“I think that was the best Ser Dan II could do for you. ”

“The utmost kindness? ”

“Ser Dunne II, as you know, suffered a great deal of pain in the past, being kidnapped by his daughter. ”

I already knew that through Kennon’s mouth.

Odyssey agrees.

“But I remember it happened because there was a grudge between the Giants and the Elves in the beginning. ”

“Yes, but nothing beats the wrath of a parent who’s taken their child. Now, of course, that anger had subsided a little bit through the encounter with his grandson. ”

“… grandchildren? ”

Odyssey showed interest.

Nerin continues the conversation with a smile.

“Seizan, this is Baikal’s second son. Anyway, the rage he had against Baikal was inevitably directed towards the god he worshipped, Tang Khan. The reason why Baikal attacked the Elves in the first place was because he wanted to imprint Tang Khan’s name on this land. ”

“.. then why did Ser II let me live? ”

If only Nerin was so vindictive of Ser Dunne II.

Shouldn’t he have executed him when he gave out the name of Tang Khan?

“Because you satisfied his ears. I don’t know if you’d agree with the people who were there. that no one would ever be able to play that. What’s more, you promised me. If he satisfies his ears, he’ll listen to anything. ”

“.. but you could have broken your promise and killed me. ”

“No.”

Nerin shakes his head firmly in Odyssey’s words.

“Killing is easier. But Ser Dan II didn’t want to kill the genius musician who might never show up again. ”

Odyssey gradually found some stability in her consolation and compliments.

Odyssey complains for no reason.

“If you really cared about me, you should have sent a soldier for me. ”

But despite all the attacks he’s been under,

Ser Dan II was just a bystander, right?

“Even if spirits and apostles were present, if Kenon hadn’t helped…”

He would have been taken by the hands of countless assassins.

“That… I think there must have been a reason. ”

“Reason?”

“Yes. The second generation is the one at the top of the palace, but it’s not just the king who runs the affairs. A lot of officials, elders, and nobles support him. And most of them… most of them lost their families in the battle with the Giants. That’s how Sergei II organized it in the first place. ”

Narin briefly explains the current situation.

Odyssey does not disagree.

‘The king reigns, but not everything. ’

He was once the son of a nobleman.

I was well aware of those facts.

However, it may be that he was just trying to relieve her of the stress caused by the current situation.

“I’m sorry. I’m not actually mad at you.”

“It’s okay. If you can do that, you can do whatever you want. It’s also my job to take care of you. ”

Nerin smiles.

Odyssey smiles awkwardly and looks out the window again.

“ · · · ”

It’s still dark outside the window.

His eyes are no longer shaking.

‘Yes, we all have to risk it anyway. ’

The heroes he loved so much also overcame this unspeakable crisis.

You’re being followed as a hero.

‘If it’s a risk we have to face… let’s also use music to describe it. The feelings I felt… the pain, the pain, the fear… they’re all music. That’s… that’s what I have to do. ’

Just as Nerin is faithful to the mission of protecting and protecting him.

Shouldn’t he be faithful to his work as well?

Cough

“Where are you going? ”

Suddenly Odyssey jumps out of bed.

Nerin asks.

“I’m going to write a song. ”

“Is this the time? ”

Odyssey nods firmly to her questions.

“It’s like a song that would never come out again if it wasn’t for this time and this environment. ”

After that, Odyssey crosses into the next room.

Sit straight in front of Roland.

He put his hand on the pitch without hesitation.

Bang, bang.

The heavy, heavy sound starts to curl up in the room.

“ · · · ”

Nerin can’t even speak to the sound of a beating heart.

Kwaguang

The sound coming from Roland soon created an invisible abyss.

This is…

She feels that she has just entered the abyss and cannot hide her horror.

‘This song is like… yeah… it’s like being stuck in a black fog and not finding your way. There’s no way we’re getting out of here if we look everywhere. ’

But you have to walk.

If I stopped walking, I would be trapped in this abyss and die.

Overwhelmed

I don’t know where it ends.

Nevertheless, she walks constantly.

Kwaguang

Meanwhile, a ferocious wind of swords and a violent storm brought out a thunderstorm that sounded like it was going to tear your ears off.

You can’t stop.

“ · · · ”

I wonder how much it cost.

Bang, bang.

At the same time the tone softens slightly.

Therefore, the violent storm was also slowing down gradually.

Tiny light begins to drift through the black mist.

‘Does this light… represent happiness that comes after endless despair… or does it always represent despair in front of happiness? ’

Soon, the foggy light brightened up the passengers as well.

“Phew.”

Odyssey’s performance is over.

“ · · · ”

Nerin stares at Odyssey dazed.

I applaud without even knowing it.

“What was that song? ”

“I don’t have a title yet. Now we have to think about it. ”

While Odyssey carved a busy note on his parchment.

Nerin thinks for a moment and asks a question.

“May I recommend a title? ”

“Whatever. Any ideas? ”

“Yeah, I don’t think there’s a better title for this song. What about the Maw? ”

Her proposition, the moving feather pen, stops moving.

“Abyssal.”

“You can throw it away if you don’t like it. ”

But Odyssey kept going over and over again.

He smiles slowly.

“No, I like it. The name of the song is Abyssal. My second song, the second song I dedicate to him, is Abyssal. ”

“Sacrifice him? ”

“All the songs I wrote were for him. ”

Nerin was embarrassed by Odyssey’s answer.

He has a light smile.

“By the way, you wrote a great song. Congratulations.”

“It’s too early to celebrate. Songs may have come out of my hands, but it was the Tang Khan and the public who saved them. ”

The End
