Episode 172. Fog that removes light (6)
It’s more than I thought.
Since he is someone who originally practiced swordsmanship, it goes without saying that his basic skills are excellent, and he is handling the divine weapon, which he may have only recently acquired, fairly well.
-visor!
Of course, just because something is acceptable doesn’t mean you can rub it in on me.
I can’t guarantee that it’s in the best condition, so the now faded holy sword is no better than a meat knife in front of me.
No.
Considering that the power of the Holy Sword has been halved, it may actually make no sense to not be able to handle it even to that extent… … .
“Ugh!”
He swung vigorously a few times, but soon he backed away.
He realized that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t fight it.
He is also a smart man.
If I’m not sure that it will work, I don’t cling to it and give up quickly.
He is a person who doesn’t bother to put effort into things that don’t work.
To put it positively, it means being quick to grasp the situation, but to put it realistically, it means giving up quickly.
But what can you gain if you step away because you think it won’t work?
Not even bread, let alone jewels, runs out.
“Why is the Savior who is supposed to give hope to everyone so hesitant? People are watching. “You must slay the evil being like me with that noble holy sword, right?”
Eshel said nothing and glared at me with eyes as hard as stone.
see.
Contained in his negative eyes,
Questions and doubts about myself.
“Should someone who looks to the highest point that a human being can pursue be afraid of people like me?”
“How dare you refer to him as a human being with that shameless mouth.”
At least I don’t try to deny my own existence like you do.
For example, even if not only me but everyone here sees me as an ugly devil and not a human being, I can confidently say that I am a decent human being.
“Power is honesty. The more you use it, the more it multiplies, and if you don’t use it, it just becomes dull. “If you are truly a savior who will bring light to the world, shouldn’t you develop your own power that you have achieved on your own, rather than a power that has already been developed?”
“… … .”
“You are in denial. I can tell just by looking at your eyes. Do you think this is an unavoidable situation? Do you think I’m just borrowing the power of the magic sword? “If you have the idea that you can defeat someone like me once and for all if you just regain the power of the Holy Sword, then please give it up now.”
“That makes it sound like there’s something different about you.”
“It’s different.”
It’s clearly different.
Unlike you, who simply tries to gain the power given to him.
I did everything on my own.
-tuk
“… … !”
He dropped the Keiram he was holding in his right hand forward as if showing off.
For a swordsman, the act of throwing one’s sword at an opponent can be broadly interpreted in two ways.
Approval or ridicule.
In my case, it is definitely the latter.
An extremely insulting taunt that even without this divine weapon, he could easily subdue a guy like you holding a holy sword.
“That’s foolish. draft… … .”
In Eshel’s eyes, who noticed this, a fierce spirit was burning like a fire.
“No matter how deep and vast the darkness is, it cannot remove the small radiance that shines detachedly.”
He drew all the mana sleeping within him and transferred it to the holy sword.
“Your fog cannot take away my light. draft. This world is made so that it can’t happen that way… … .”
Contrary to what I thought he would just raise his eyes and stay still like a statue, it seems like he is trying to do something.
-Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss
like.
An exclamation came out inside me without me knowing.
By transferring the mana drawn from my body to the holy sword, I fill up the missing power.
The energy of the holy sword reacted to this and made Eshel’s body fly into the air.
Wings of light sprout beautifully on both sides as if trying to embrace the sky.
Calm yet colorful scattering of light scattered everywhere, reminiscent of the appearance of a god descending on the human world.
“Wherever light leads, there is truth… … ,”
As a prayer was recited to someone watching this scene from the sky, a golden radiance like the sun emerged from the faded holy sword.
‘Judgment of Salvation’.
This is the secret weapon of the holy sword that marked the end of the Demon King, the strongest man in the demon world, in his previous life.
A sacred sight that would be impossible for any human to even dare to look at without kneeling down.
Some people around were so emotional that they even shed tears.
Yes, it is a rare sight for me to see again after almost several decades.
He said that humans are learning animals, and that there is a clear difference between seeing the same scene with knowledge and seeing it without knowing.
For me now, the secret of that sacred and precious holy sword is… … .
“Kick!”
Following the admiration, laughter burst out.
There is no need to discuss the value of power, this is just the lowest level.
A perfect technique for show that only looks fancy but has no real power.
It almost makes me feel sorry for the Demon King who should have died from that useless sword.

After completing preparations for judgment, the holy sword advanced towards me without a second of hesitation.
-Shuwoouk
The moment when the tip of the holy sword was about to make contact with my neck.
I slightly turned my head and easily dodged the holy sword’s blow.
-chin
“… … !”
I thought about pretending it was true, but it seems like it would be pointless.
The tip of the holy sword had already gone far to the side, not my neck, and my left hand was tightly grasping his right hand, which was holding the holy sword.
-Wow!
“Keuheuk!”
When I gently squeezed his strength, he let out a groan of pain.
“Did you say that fog cannot remove light?”
“… … !”
“It’s just a weak excuse to say there’s nothing we can do because the world is set up that way.”
-Clink
Unable to withstand my grip, he eventually let go of his hand, and the holy sword he was holding plummeted to the floor.
At the same time, the black fog that had been sleeping in my body spread out in all directions, covering all the light that had been fluttering everywhere.
“If the world itself is structured that way, all we have to do is change that world.”
-bang!
He grabbed Eshel’s neck, who was writhing in pain, and slammed her to the ground.
“That’s why I am where I am today… … .”
Then the unfamiliar artifact hidden in his arms tumbled helplessly to the floor.
Marionette puppet.
Even without looking, I know clearly who gave it to me.
Through this foolish trick, I tried to create a situation that would cause my existence to fall to the bottom.
I’m not particularly angry or anything.
I don’t think it’s worth it because it’s such a behavior of yours!
I naturally picked up the Keiram plugged in next to me and held it against Eshel’s neck.
As he faced Kayram’s blade in front of him, his complexion turned white for an instant.
“Are you afraid? Rest assured. This blade of hatred now in my hand will not cut off my brother’s head. why? “The moment of pain you must feel has not yet arrived!”
“What are you… … ?”
You must be curious.
You’ll want to know like crazy.
But you wouldn’t know.
So, you will continue to worry, suffer, and struggle in the end.
“You can bury me, calling me a world-class evildoer, or you can gather together the greatest mercenaries on the continent and form an assassination group to kill me! Anything is fine, so do whatever you can and do whatever you can! “I’m ready for whatever it takes!”
You will have to prepare so thoroughly that you will feel like there is nothing more you can do.
“Then despair! “If you realize that no matter how hard you try, you cannot destroy me, then the moment I wanted will finally come to you!”
Beyond doubt, his eyes were now filled with fear and terror, shaking like an earthquake.
I guess I no longer look human in your eyes.
However, more than anything else, there is one very important fact to keep in your mind.
“Don’t forget! I am just a human being living on this earth! “A perfectly ordinary human being who knows your true nature and hates you so much!”
This point must be clearly remembered.
Unless you surpass me, your truth of going to the highest place a human can reach will never be realized.
“Until then, I wish you good luck… … .”
Finally, with a heartfelt prayer for him,
I got up from my seat without any regrets.
* * *
People thought.
I hope that the scene unfolding before my eyes is a dream and not reality.
Now I’m starting to wonder if the creators of this world have abandoned the human race.
What on earth is the identity of that boy named Sian Bert??
Not only did he incapacitate dozens of elite knights in an instant, he summoned unidentified monsters made of fog and threw the surroundings into chaos, and even destroyed the existence of salvation that appeared to purify the situation.
To them, Xian no longer seemed like an ordinary human being.
A devil who stepped onto this earth to destroy the world.
I couldn’t find any way to explain it other than that.
-Sigh
After finishing the brothers’ deep conversation, the being of fog finally stood up.
The knights who had already lost their will to fight were unable to stop his calm advance.
Ruinel, who was blinded by the need to restore his prestige, was unable to say anything as if he had become a mute, and Kundel also only stared at Sian with nervous eyes and did not step forward to stop her.
Everyone on the street was busy retreating,
Just one person,
There was only one person who did not back down and blocked Xian’s path.
“… … .”
Two clenched fists as if determined, and pitiful eyes filled with complex emotions.
Arin stood alone in the middle of the street and silently waited for Xian to approach.
It was a very short distance of just a few steps, but to Arin, it felt like an eternity.
Sian didn’t even make eye contact with Arin.
As if it wasn’t even worth worrying about, he continued to take careless steps without any guard or defensive posture.
Finally, the distance between the two is completely narrowed,
The moment we reach the moment that will pass by without any meaning,
-chin
Xian’s footsteps suddenly stopped.
Arin’s right hand firmly holds his wrist holding the magic sword.
The tremors that were desperately trying to control the emotions that were on the verge of exploding were being transmitted through Xian’s body.
“Do you have anything to say?”
At this, Xian opened his mouth first and asked softly.
“no. doesn’t exist… … .”
Questions, inquiries, confirmations, etc.
Surely just a few minutes ago, there was a mountain of things I wanted to say, but now they have no meaning.
Arin didn’t even know what she was trying to say in the first place, so saying meaningless words was worse than not saying anything at all.
“Then let go. If you don’t plan on stopping me… … .”
Even though she was able to remove her hand, Sian instructed her to let go.
There is nothing I can say, and I have no power to stop him,
Arin could hardly let go of Xian’s hand.
“I know it’s a meaningless action. I know it’s a foolish action… … .”
Arin’s voice was so anxious that she would start crying at any moment if touched.
“I’m really sorry and I know it’s shameless… … “Can you do me a favor, Sian?”
At this, Xian snorted as if it were pathetic.
However, he did not show any intention of dislike, and his right hand was still held in Arin’s hand.
“Say nothing… … . I really like anything you can say. Because advice is good and swearing is good. “Can’t you just say one thing to me?”
Just one word, no more, no less.
The content wasn’t important.
The only important thing is that Xi’an does it.
Arin was desperately hoping for another heartfelt word from him, which might be her last.
“Go ahead.”
“… … !”
As always, Xian spoke in a firm tone without any wavering.
“You must never forget the feelings you have in your heart right now, Princess. Don’t forget the consequences of being weak and unable to do anything, and follow the given path to the end. So… … .”
Xian quietly closed his eyes.
“Please make sure that such a being never appears in this world again.”
“… … .”
“This is the last thing I can say to the princess… … .”
With those words, Xian lightly shook off Arin’s hand.
Xian’s footsteps became farther and farther away, but Arin could not turn her head.
Even Brian and Emily, who were carefully following Sian, could not bear to make eye contact with her.
Not confronting her was the minimum consideration for her.
-Grumbling
The tears that I could barely hold back eventually burst out and flowed down my cheeks.
Because I can’t bear to show that to Xian,
Arin just sobbed pitifully as she looked at the indifferent sky with nothing to see.
So, in Xian,
Like a fog that appears and disappears without warning.
He suddenly left Arin’s side.
