The Heir of the God of Death
Chapter 65's

"Huh?"

Suddenly I was again in a vast meadow. This gentle breeze made me very comfortable even though I just saw a very sad sight earlier.

I walked down this green field and I saw many dandelion flowers flying in the wind.

"This place is very different from before."

I feel like this place is much more peaceful than before. Seen from a distance looks a city and far from the city looks a very large and magnificent palace.

A voice of joy came from there and the children were very excited to hear it from there.

"Has the era changed again?"

It reminds me of the time of Aristotle where he said a word I myself did not understand what the word meant.

"Say there'll be a hero's anniversary festival."

"Seriously? There'll be a lot of good food there, dong."

I saw people coming from out of town and following this path. Some carried their horse-drawn carriages and transported goods, apparently they were merchants.

There were a lot of people coming to the city and I was very curious about what was going on there.

"the festival? Her hero? Who are they commemorating.., eh?"

When I wanted to go there, suddenly a white chain came out of my chest and it made me unable to get away from something.

"This chain... Is Arthur still alive?"

I was very surprised to learn that a white chain had suddenly emerged from my chest and it was a sign that the person who had this memory was still alive in this world of his.

I immediately ran along the length of this chain and it felt like the chain was starting to get more tenuous and it was a sign that "He" was here.

"Where is he?"

When I reached the end of this chain, I saw no Arthur here at all and only a rusty sword overgrown with moss and hardened mud that was stuck very deep in the ground.

"Sword? Why is it here?"

I stepped towards the sword, but I paused that step because an old man with a white beard had already walked up to the sword first.

He was sitting casually on a rock right in front of the sword, looking at the sword for a long time.

"What's he doing?"

The old man picked up a bottle and opened the lid, and then he drank the contents of the bottle voraciously.

I was just silently waiting to see the old man just stare at the sword endlessly, as if he was deep in thought.

"I thought you'd be here."

I immediately turned towards that voice and looked an old man as well with his high-class noble attire and luxurious crown.

"You're a king, you don't deserve to roam around like this out in the open without a bodyguard, did you run away again?"

The king only laughed hearing that and it seemed they were very familiar and status did not affect this close friendship.

"I thought you'd say that every time I walked out of the palace."

"That's not me but someone, you stupid king!"

The old man threw the bottle at the king and the king caught it and opened the bottle and drank it.

"As usual your taste is very bad." Throwing the bottle back.

The old grandfather managed to catch it and directly put the thing into the bag he was carrying.

"It's a cure and it's great for old men like us."

The two of them smiled and looked at the rusty sword stuck there. Silence instantly occurred to them and only focused on staring at the sword.

The wind blew gently and made the atmosphere very lively and calm.

"When we see this sword, it makes me very calm, even though we remember what happened ten years ago, where we faced a disaster that we did not know what kind of disaster it was. What do you feel when you see this sword, Mer?"

I was very surprised when the king said the name of the old man.

"Mer? A merlin? Then which king is.. What is Uther?"

Suddenly I remembered what happened after the incident of the great battle between Heredis and the Gods. Aristotle faced them and in his last moment he said the same word as Arthur.

"Every time the two of them launched a magic attack, they always uttered a foreign word that even I didn't understand."

This is very different from my skill which only has an ordinary name with ordinary language as well as any known.

"Maybe the words they are unfamiliar with are the same language as the stone."

Thinking of this made me a little dizzy and I thought it was worth skipping in the meantime, as there was a conversation from the two old men.

"I also felt that way, when we were again at war by something strange and we all suddenly woke up on the land that became the location of our war. I don't know what's really going on, though, when we were all in confusion at that moment we saw a person with all black armor who stood gallantly while holding his sword that was stuck on the ground in the middle of the ground of this battlefield."

"Well, everyone was already conscious at that very moment that person disappeared and his body suddenly turned into tiny shards of light and flew in the sky, leaving only his sword there. On that incident, I decided that he was our hero who had saved us from destruction."

"When we don't know his name and where he came from, but everyone agrees to accept him as a savior and a hero. Some even consider themselves to be messengers of God."

"Hero will be remembered forever through his name and hero will be quickly forgotten if he has no name. I think the history of him will be quickly erased in the generations to come."

"Yes." Yeah."

As they chatted, on the other hand I thought about what really happened in the Heredis-Heredis era before me.

"When my predecessors started to get cornered, they immediately used the foreign word and immediately a light shone on his body. I don't know what it is, but why can't I say that foreign word?"

The last words of them always ring in my head and when I want to say them, I suddenly feel held back by something and can only remember the foreign word in my mind.

"Maybe the system is limiting me, because maybe it's not time for me to use that foreign magic yet."

Magic is high then the risk is high as well, it is clearly visible in front of my eyes twice which magic is very risky in my opinion. He will be forgotten from civilization and his existence will be completely eliminated.

"The minds of people have forgotten the man who saved them, but the feeling of being so close to the savior may be difficult to remove especially those who are very close to him."

The burden of being the bearer of great power makes it difficult for anyone, not that you will not accept it but you are the chosen one who has privileges that no one has.

"I think that this me who has nothing will never be able to gain any progress. Since accepting this system, I feel like I've been like the people I admire out there."

After pondering for quite a while, I looked back at the two of them again and it seemed like the two of them started to leave this place.

The old man stood up from his seat and said:

"You don't have to worry, he's a very good boy and very diligent in training. But, I was so sorry that he always looked at the children who had complete families."

"I'm forced to do that, you must know for yourself what happens if there is a conflict of the royal family in the palace."

"Yes I know that, but... don't you want to change your decision? I asked like this for Arthur's good as well."

"I will never change my decision, I will still make him my heir to the throne and so I ask you to take him as far as possible from the palace grounds, so that he can live his life freely in the meantime and all the time he learns from the people around him, and understands what the nature of the people he will lead will be."

Merlin heard the answer immediately shook his head and patted Uther on the shoulder as he walked.

"I guided him to be a great king one day and will never be a foolish king like you."

Uther who heard that laughed out loud and immediately embraced Merlin as he walked.

I smiled seeing their friendship bond so strong.

"I'm no longer surprised at the birth of the second Arthur because their story will be exactly the same as the storybook now...hm?"

Suddenly the sword glowed.

...Touch it......

"...?"

Suddenly I heard a voice and immediately searched for the source of the sound, but I did not find the source.

I walked towards the sword and tried to touch it.

"What's going on?"

Suddenly the sword disappeared the moment I touched and the surroundings of me also instantly turned pitch-black.

Bing...!

A dazzling light appeared and the light grew bigger making it difficult for me to see at all.

"Huh? Am I outside?"

I was instantly sent by the system somewhere and it seemed that all around me was overgrown with very dense trees.

"I really made it kel---"

The deg!

"Akg..! The effects of this mode begin to appear...!"

I leaned directly into one of the trees and sat down and meditated, Adrian told me that Aura could be used to relieve body pain.

...•••...

20 Minutes later....

"With*...."

I managed to reduce the pain caused by the side effects of Heredis mode, I took a few breaths to calm myself again so that this pain did not feel for a while.

"With this I can walk now."

I immediately stood up and walked towards the front, I heard the sound of a wheeled machine passing by earlier and surely this forest was close to one of the toll roads in this city.

As I reached the end of the forest, I saw a very long paved road and beside it was a deep gorge.

"This way...."

I immediately walked towards the edge of the abyss and looked at the deep abyss.

"This is where you two end up."

I immediately clenched my hands together and tried to hold my tears out, but I couldn't do it if I saw this place directly.

"Dad... I promise I will get justice for you and find the man who did this to you!"

Unknowingly one of my hands was holding onto their relic necklace that I had been wearing all this time. My crying didn't stop and didn't make a sound while I was here, I've been searching everywhere for clues as to what really happened to Father and Mother back then.

Before the last moment I saw their faces, looking very worried and trying to keep something away from us.

Ever since I was resurrected, I've been trying to figure out what data and clues they were working on while on duty. But all of that is being shut down by the government and trying to keep something away from ordinary people like me.

"Huff*...."

I sighed and tried as quietly as possible and thought and compiled the information I had gathered all along.

"When High School I accidentally saw Mom's report paper on her desk at the time, and it was written that there was a research and project called 'Stigma.' Then Dad also got a guard duty from his superiors and he was ordered to maintain security in one of the Lab, since then Father and Mother always leave together when working and go home late at night."

While recalling all that information, for a moment I felt indignant remembering that name. Name of a company that sponsored their research.

"Company that sponsors their research if not misnamed... PT. Hanjee. Do I have to sneak in there to dig up the information?"

I was thinking of a plan to gather information on a project called "Stigma" and why my parents were involved with this.

"Although only a company, but the people who work in there the average person who has been raised and all their ranks average C and above. It would be very difficult to get in there even though entering through the usual test track and again my status is only F, must be rejected outright by them."

I thought about breaking through, but it was just a stupid act and only made things worse for those closest to me.

"Maybe the first thing I have to do is update my Venandi status...."

I looked at the sky and it was so bright, I breathed fresh air here and was very peaceful for a moment.

"Before that I have to go home first, surely Susan will scold me all out, hehe."

I immediately stepped my foot away from the edge of the abyss and my steps stopped for a moment and turned towards the abyss.

"Dad, Mother, you don't have to worry there, the three of us are fine. We also ate regularly and brushed our teeth before going to bed, although the twins loved instant food and it scolded me Susan for not keeping their food in balance, maybe I'm a little careless about their food but I'm always watching and always looking after my sisters...."

I turned my body again and walked forward.

"Thank you for making me your son... 'Soul enchantment!'"

Chin!

Suddenly the young man disappeared from his place and his presence in that place was not felt anymore.
