Episode 305. Into the Secret (7)
-Shoot!
The tip of the holy sword pierced with lightning grazed my left cheek.
Anastasia did not stop at this and immediately twisted her wrist and split my head horizontally.
-visor!
I lifted Kayram and easily blocked it.
Then, a slight tremor passed through the blades of the swords.
Perhaps she also felt similar tremors as me.
It’s not because of the cold or wind.
This is a kind of inspiration.
An encounter with a true enemy that will never occur again in your life.
The incredible feeling of joy that comes from it.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a knight or an assassin, it’s a feeling that anyone who uses a sword can never resist.
In the beginning, the exploration battle continued, such as throwing sword techniques from a distance or casting secret techniques with a large range.
However, Anastasia seemed to soon realize that it was useless and immediately switched to a speed battle.
I don’t know why, but I was only targeting the face, leaving the other areas alone.
-Whoop!
In an instant, the wind direction changed.
“… … !”
Are you surprised by an unexpected natural phenomenon?
The direction of the holy sword aimed at my neck suddenly changed in the other direction.
I didn’t miss that opportunity and immediately counterattacked into her face.
– Wedge!
She reflexively turned her body to avoid it and hurriedly retreated back.
However, it was not possible to completely avoid it.
Red blood flowed down his slightly cut left cheek.
“… … .”
It looks like he was quite shocked that he got hurt.
Anastasia smoothed the blood flowing down her face with mesmerized eyes.
“There are many other places, so why did you aim for the face?”
I want to return those words exactly as they were.
Also, who has been persistently targeting only the face area?
“If I do this and get a scar, people will see and worry. Who hurt the Almighty Savior? … .”
“Is the so-called savior obsessed with just one scar?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. It looked ugly for a while. I guess I got excited without even realizing it because it had been so long since I had worn something called a scar. “Even Dio, the previous owner of that sword, couldn’t fight me like this.”
She grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and wiped away the blood.
“Rather, I feel like I’m seeing a person who is more like the master of the magic sword than that man. Thanks to you, I became more curious about you. It’s frustrating for me because they don’t really tell me anything… … .”
As if she had thought of something, a sinister smile appeared around her eyes.
“Then how about this? “You are making a deal with me.”
“transaction?”
“yes. Let me do you a favor first. If you have any questions about me, please ask. “I will do my best to answer.”
In other words, it meant that he would ask me questions in exchange for questions.
Well, for me there was nothing particularly bad.
Even though you didn’t mean to, didn’t you somehow dominate the conversation?
There is no reason not to take advantage of this opportunity.
“What were you planning to do using that dark elf?”
“As expected, I thought you would ask that.”
She smiled and nodded as if she had expected it.
“Those so-called dark elves are new creatures created by injecting the blood of a demonic beast into the corpse of a white elf. Well, this isn’t that surprising, is it? “You probably already guessed it.”
“Is it possible to bring the dead back to life?”
“It took some effort on the part of the Bible and his master to make it possible. “I used revival magic.”
The owner of the Bible is probably Boris Lehelm.
This was also expected, so I wasn’t very impressed.
“They are special. It continues to evolve as time passes. “It can be said that they are a species with greater development potential than humans.”
“Even if you didn’t create such a being, wouldn’t the odds of winning this war have already been tilted towards you? “Why are you doing such a complicated thing?”
“Oh my, isn’t that surprising? “Did you already expect that you would lose?”
I didn’t answer.
“What we want is chaos.”
“confusion?”
“yes. Although they are still staying in Pruina, these dark elves will soon move across the continent. “What will happen if they come into contact with humans, as they cannot communicate at all and only commit destruction and slaughter like angry demonic beasts?”
Should we treat that as a question now?
“It will create a really fun world, right? “We will point to your master, Aer, the god of the black fog, as the main culprit who created such a world.”
Where have you seen this before?
“Then, denial, distrust, and resentment toward the black fog will gradually bloom in people’s hearts. From now on, they will pray for us! “Please save us from this ugly black fog!”
Anastasia even put her hands together in a praying posture.
Of course my expression when I saw that didn’t look good.
“There’s no need to make that scary face. Rumendel and I will save this world from such chaos. All you have to do is play the role of evil necessary for the proper order of this world.”
[Look at this crazy bitch?]

Kayram, who had been silent, eventually couldn’t hold back and vented his anger.
Whether past or present, their methods have not changed.
They create an entity called absolute evil, induce chaos in the world, and then cover it with lies in the name of salvation to make their world their own.
We are never responsible for the sacrifices that come with this.
Rather, you would think it is natural.
“Can I ask you one thing?”
[…] … Are you asking me?]
“Then who else but Kayram?”
[What?]
The tone was as if he was asking a question in this situation.
“I heard that Kayram’s previous master tried to let people know that the black fog was not wrong. Is that correct?”
[Oh, right. But what is that?]
“Then why are Aer and Kayram fighting with them?”
[…] … .]
“Is there some grand reason why you want to stop them, even by treating them like this and making such sacrifices?”
[Nothing special.]
Contrary to expectations that he would hesitate a little longer, Kayram answered right away.
[Did you see the sun and the fog together?]
“… … “I didn’t see it.”
[That’s why.]
There was no sense of falsehood in the firm answer.
[The two simply cannot coexist. If one is visible, the other must not be visible. That’s why they’re trying so hard to desperately eat each other. To survive.]
“Is that all?”
[Then did you think there was some great reason or secret? The things they talk about like order and everything are just packaged to make it easier to listen to. If they want to survive, they have no choice but to make us invisible.]
Great reason, great secret.
There was nothing like that from the beginning.
In the end, all of this was just an unavoidable act that each person committed to survive.
It could not help but be extremely natural and humane.
“Why are you talking to yourself like that?”
Anastasia, offended at being ignored for a moment, raised her eyebrows and asked.
“Now that I’ve told you this, it’s probably my turn to hear the answer, right? So please let me know soon. Starting with your name, everything about you, every single detail… … .”
Do you know what the question I’ve been asked the most in my life is? That’s it.
Who the hell are you.
Who on earth are you to appear in front of you and create a situation like this?
Most of the time when such questions were asked, I rarely answered them.
Why?
Of course, I killed them all.
Everything, without exception.
Even if he is the owner of that perfect holy sword,
This principle cannot be broken.
-Wooow.
He gathered magical power in one hand and the power of fog in the other.
There is only one way for a person to be born,
The number of deaths is close to infinite.
This means that the human body is very vulnerable to death.
overwhelming power? Grandiose magic?
There’s no need for that.
All an assassin needs to kill an opponent is time.
1 second, no, less than that is better.
If there is a very small time gap that the opponent cannot deal with,
That is enough.
For that little moment, I pulled out all the strength I had inside me.
“Museon (霧劍)… … .”
“… … ?”
Sensing some kind of threat, Anastasia immediately raised her sword and took a defensive stance.
But it will be no use.
“A moment in time that has stopped.”
As I chanted the spell, my body moved across space and behind Anastasia’s back.
“… … !”
She couldn’t catch my movements and couldn’t do anything.
I instinctively turned my eyes away when I sensed the threat of death approaching, but
That’s it.
-deeply
The tip of the mist-covered chiram penetrated deep into Anastasia’s throat.
I quietly put my mouth to her ear and whispered softly.
“You asked me who I was?”
Blood spread and his bloodshot eyes fluttered wildly.
“My name is Sian Bert. He knows your true colors, and he is the only human who will deny your order.”
“… … !”
“This fact must be clearly imprinted on your bodies and minds.”
Anastasia desperately moved her mouth to see what she wanted to say, but
“Wow!”
The blood that poured out repeatedly covered her mouth.
In the end, it didn’t take long before I collapsed onto the snow.
The light of the holy sword that had been emitting ceaselessly also gradually faded.
“after… … .”
I let out a long breath and looked up at the sky.
The wind that had been blowing ceaselessly suddenly stopped and silence filled the surroundings.
Then she turned and walked towards where her former master, Dio, had collapsed.
[what are you doing?]
I squatted down without saying a word and placed my hands on Dio’s body.
-piing
The healing light that appeared from my hands penetrated into the wounds carved on my body.
After confirming that his incapacitated body had healed to some extent, I placed the magic sword in his hand again.
Then, Dio’s body was suddenly enveloped in black fog.
It was the moment when Kayram’s soul returned to its former owner’s body.
She soon opened her closed eyes and faced me.
“My role ends here.”
[what?]
“Now Kayram, go do what you have to do.”
[under?!]
She burst out laughing as if she was dumbfounded.
Even as I held my head in confusion, he faced me again with sharp eyes.
[hey.]
“Please speak.”
[What are you really?]
“… … .”
Looking into her eyes, it seemed like she wouldn’t move unless she got a satisfactory answer.
I couldn’t answer right away so there was a moment of silence.
“There’s no point in saying it.”
[…] … ?]
“Nothing changes.”
[Have you lost your mind?]
“It’s not really a problem for the owner to talk to the sword, right?”
Kayram was silent for a moment, as if he was at a loss for words.
“Just think of it this way. The only person in this world who can treat you perfectly… … .”
Even though Kayram looked at me with blank eyes,
[What do I have to do?]
He asked what he should do.
“Of course it’s about saving the world from the dark elves, right?”
[you?]
I shook my head instead of answering.
[Well, I don’t even know. This damn world… … .]
After saying those words, Kayram turned away from me.
She didn’t look back once as she walked away, and I just watched her in silence.
In the end, this is not reality, but a world in sealed memories.
No matter what I do here, nothing changes.
Just finding out.
What happened in these forgotten times?
-Whoa!
Suddenly, something like a black wave spewed out in front of my eyes and spread out in all directions.
“Did you have fun?”
I quickly turned my head.
“Still, it seems like you were aware of it. In the memories of time that has already passed, there is nothing you can do… … .”
Before I knew it, Anastasia had risen from the dead and was smiling strangely at me.
