A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

He was never worried about his safety, or rather, he was never afraid of death.

For those who reincarnate, what is death? Death is merely the beginning of another life.

He went into his familiar room, then lay down on the floor and began to draw intricate patterns with a crayon.

"Hmph~" Sack hummed a song in his childish voice.

It took him about fifteen minutes to draw a magic circle on the carpet.

After the magic circle is drawn, the final step is to input magic power into it.

“Let’s meet, Lord of the Demigods,” Sark muttered to himself, a smile playing on his lips.

The magic circle gradually changed from a two-dimensional shape into a three-dimensional pattern.

Countless runes emerged, and several hands grabbed Sark, trying to pull him somewhere.

Sack did not resist and simply let himself be dragged away.

The view was initially dark, then it brightened again.

"A Black Ironborn infant?" A voice like a thunderclap echoed in Sark's ears.

"Nice to meet you, Umkandal, Lord of the Demigods." Zach, who had been lying on the ground, got up and said to the giant in front of him.

If people didn't know Sark's true identity, they might even find his clumsy appearance quite endearing.

However, not everyone will be fooled.

Umkandal suddenly opened his eyes.

"No, I should call you a human in the skin of a child."

"If you don't have a good reason, I will kill you without hesitation."

“I’m just a defenseless little kid,” Sack said angrily.

“…” Umkandal had already raised his hand.

There's no doubt about Umkandar's words; as long as Sark continues his nonsense, He will definitely deliver a devastating blow.

“Do you know what white flour is?” Sack asked.

Umkandal silently lowered his hand.

Of course He knew about White Face, because not long ago, He had both of His hands cut off.

He would have died if he hadn't escaped in time.

"Yeah, I was killed just recently."

“Let’s get down to business, human,” Umkandal said in a deep voice.

He acknowledged Sark's irrelevant statements, which made Him decide not to kill him.

"Excuse me, are there any demigods here who have the hope of regaining their own blue sky?" Sark asked, looking on with a curious expression.

PS: I suddenly realized that the "if" plot is too big. I originally thought I could write it like "re: Re:Zero", but I found that no matter how I condensed it, it was too long and I couldn't stand it. As a guy who knows how to take care of his health, Bray learned to go fishing.

Two years have passed since the last time the Cardo family tricked them.

Two years is neither a long nor a short time.

Anyway, those who are going to take risks will still take risks, and those who are going to slay monsters will still slay monsters.

During this time, he also met an empress from the Northern Continent.

Huh? You mean how did a lowly commoner like Bree come to know the Queen?

He didn't know either; perhaps this was what they called fate. He and the elven queen named Dorothea got along quite well.

However, she always exuded the aura of a widow, so Bray had no choice but to keep his distance.

Besides getting to know the Queen of White Court, Bray also killed many Silver Species.

On the other hand, he felt that the silver seeds had been appearing a bit too frequently lately.

Not only are they frequent, but most of the time they appear with a strong purpose.

It was as if they were all preparing for some goal.

He also remembered one time when he was cutting down silver seeds, he happened to run into White Face and found that the other party was doing the same thing.

Wow, is this what that guy is busy with every day? It's practically pushing the Silver Race to extinction.

Seriously, Bray thinks that if Whiteface were given more than ten years, the Silver race might be wiped out completely.

He has a "swan song" that allows him to fight against the Silver type, but how did Hakumen do it?

At first, Bray was also puzzled, thinking that the other party was also a person who followed the precepts and had particularly strong protection.

But later, he finally learned the truth.

Hakumen is not human at all, but an Aragami, an Aragami like the great hero Kalogaris, who can maintain his sanity.

But neither Bray nor Whiteface himself could be sure how long this rationality could last.

"The 'World Wall' is about to be torn apart, and I need you to do something with me." Hakumen once said this to himself.

To be frank, Bray himself isn't interested in saving the world.

After all, he didn't have much of a sense of justice; he only had the most basic kindness, and nothing else.

If you asked Bray to sacrifice something for the world, he probably couldn't do it.

He couldn't quite understand why Bai Mian's tone suggested he had expectations of him.

"Ugh, my head hurts." If Bray didn't know that the "World Wall" was slowly crumbling, it would be fine, but now that he does, he has to try to maintain the wall regularly.

The best way to maintain the "wall of the world" is to reduce chaos.

War, natural disasters, and so on are all ways to exacerbate chaos.

Those man-made acts of terror, the frenzied research, and even the panic caused by the silver seed all count.

Therefore, suppressing the chaos is very difficult, and Bray often feels at a loss.

He can only resolve the issues when he encounters them during regular assignments.

Bray, who only knows how to use a sword, can only do so much; it would be really difficult to ask more of him.

It's not good to force someone to do something they can't.

"Splash!" A fish took the bait and was instantly lifted up by Bray.

"Levy, have some fish." He caught the struggling fish steadily with one hand and tossed it to Levy.

"Oh!" Levy responded after wagging her tail for a while, then snatched the fish in her mouth, revealing an adorable little expression =V=.

After getting the fish, she quickly swallowed it, scales and bones alike.

Yes, you read that right, Levy swallowed an entire fish whole.

You might think Bray is abusing Levy, but he really isn't.

Lei eats both raw and cooked food, and isn't picky about anything.

In her words, it's because she got used to eating raw food in the wild when she was a child.

Levy is an angel, that's true, but she's also a predator. It's just that Bray is letting her live a normal life right now.

"Levy, do you prefer cooked or raw fish?" Bray asked curiously, watching Levy eat the fish.

"Hmm..." Levy had turned her hand into a beast's claw to make it easier to eat the fish, but after hearing Bray's question, it returned to its original shape.

She began to seriously consider Bray's problem.

After a quarter of an hour, Levy finally came up with an answer.

“Levy likes to eat them all.” She gave an answer that was essentially meaningless.

"I see." Bray tilted his head helplessly.

"Then let's take the rest back and cook it, okay?"

"Okay~" Levy replied readily, guessing that no matter what Bray said, she would respond with "okay".

It's a little hard to imagine Levy saying "no" to Bray.

No, this won't do. If things continue like this, Levy's personality will become seriously problematic. Bray thought it was necessary to talk to her about it.

"Levy."

"Hmm?" Levy tilted her head and looked at Bray with a puzzled expression.

"Even to me, you can say no."

"Why did Levy say no to Bray?" Levy stared blankly.

"It was just a casual remark. If you have any complaints, just tell me."

“Bray is great in every way,” Levy said, flapping her ears as she tried her best. >A<

"Uh." Her reaction left Bray speechless for a moment.

Levy always thought too highly of herself; unfortunately, she was a terrible person.

"Cough cough..." Bray couldn't help but cough a few times as he was about to continue teaching Levy.

He instinctively covered his right eye, and his steady breathing began to become erratic.

If anyone could see Bray's eyes, they would notice that his pupils were stained blood red.

Even though he didn't actively unleash the Heavenly Fox Tears, his eyes still turned red.

If you frequently use the Heavenly Fox Tears in battle, this symptom will be alleviated.

However, once his life settles down, his excess vitality overwhelms him.

"Here we go again," he murmured, heaven knows what his physical condition really was.

It's not bad at all. Even if you broke Bray's head off right now, he could come back to life on the spot.

But you said it was okay, but Bray is feeling terrible right now, which is completely unrelated to being okay.

It has been several years since he obtained the Heavenly Fox Tear, and he has had to endure this torment all along.

There is still no way to alleviate this.

"Bray, do you want some water?" Seeing Bray's expression, Levy quickly took a bottle of water from the package on the ground and handed it to Bray.

Her ears drooped, and every time Bray did that, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

At first, Levy didn't know what was wrong with Bray, but later she noticed that Bray would have these symptoms every now and then.

In naive Levy's eyes, Bray must be alive, but she doesn't know how to treat illnesses and can't help him.

All Levy could do was stay by Bray's side.

It was as if Bray was always by his side.

"Hmm." Bray took the water and nodded stiffly at her.

Levy sat down by the river with Bray by her side and quieted down. If Bray fell, she would immediately catch him.

Seeing Levy like this, Bray patted her head; she really cared about him.

Although this water is completely useless, it's better than nothing.

The Heavenly Fox Tears granted Bray immense power, but also presented him with challenges.

There are gains and losses... that's roughly how it is.

So far, Bray has not encountered a Silver-ranked opponent that he needs to fight to the death; he has defeated them all easily, which has given him the illusion that he is invincible.

But it was probably just an illusion.

"Your health is deteriorating." As Bray sat by the river, the sound of armor joints clanking came from behind him.

Before you see him, you hear his voice.

Bray already knew who the person who had arrived was.

"Looks like you did what I said, you haven't made any more inexplicable appearances," Bray said irritably.

"After all, that was a bit too pretentious," Bai Mian said quietly, while casually teasing the lark on the back of his hand.
