Episode 38. Followers of the Black Mist (2)
craving.
For humans, it is a social construct that cannot be satisfied no matter how much we satisfy ourselves.
However, depending on the time, desire can be the best or worst power a person can have.
What do you think is the most dangerous of these human driving forces, which at first glance seem like double-edged swords?
Greed in pursuit of material things?
s*xual desire to have s*x?
Honestly, it’s hard to decide which one is superior to the other, but I personally would like to add another one here.
Fighting desire.
The so-called desire to fight.
You may be wondering how many people have this desire, which may seem a little strange to hear.
But coincidentally, in my past life, I was on the verge of death because of that one person who was obsessed with fighting.
The desire to be strong and the joy of fighting.
At first glance, it may seem very masculine and hot, but no one who has experienced it would say such a thing.
“Weren’t you trying to test me step by step? “You haven’t even dealt with those assassins yet?”
“doesn’t care! “Because you already have the potential to surpass even those executives!”
I asked vaguely, feeling slightly embarrassed, but she was already so engrossed in fighting that it was impossible to stop her.
Sirica Nigriti, head of the Mist.
By day, he is an academic instructor at a prestigious academy, and by night, he is an outstanding leader of assassins.
He was truly an outstanding talent who was recognized by everyone.
For example, people think of such talented people every time they see them.
What on earth is the driving force that drives that person?
What do you have that allows you to show such outstanding skills?
Simple.
Because she had a desire to fight.
The spirit that boils over every time he encounters a strong person, and the desire that he must also become stronger in order to deal with such a strong person. Following this wheel-like driving force, she built up her strength and abilities, and as a result, was able to reign as the best assassin, leading a group of cruel assassins.
However, as I said before, desire is a double-edged sword.
It can be the best power, but on the contrary, it can also be the worst power.
To others rather than to yourself… … .
“It’s really amazing! Even if he was the heir, I never thought he would show up to this extent! Sian Berth! “Didn’t you ultimately approach me because you wanted this too?”
Let’s talk straight, head of the family.
I admit that you were my best teacher in my past life, but I didn’t try to learn that sincere side, right?
I released the mana power passed down to the sword along with the fog and pushed her away.
– Whirling
Her hair, loose and tousled in waves, made her crazy appearance stand out even more.
Stopping there, he tasted me while looking at me.
“Do you acknowledge that I am the heir?”
“I was skeptical until I saw the magic sword, but after using the killing wave, I became convinced! To be more sure, I’d check to see if you have a Mist Stone in your body, but there’s no need! I have to fight you right now! Sian Berth!”
Before I knew it, all the other Mist members had gathered and surrounded Silica.
Judging from the fact that they couldn’t hide their embarrassment, I could tell that the current situation was unexpected even for them.
“This is God’s sub-space created by Aer! Any aftereffects that may leak to the outside are automatically blocked! In other words, no matter how much you and I fight and make a fuss, there is no problem outside!”
He must be a truly kind head.
As she said, this is Mist’s secret hideout located in the center of Ruwen, but it does not actually exist within the city.
God’s subspace.
In other words, it is an unreal space created by the power of God and does not exist on earth.
A truly perfect hideout that cannot be detected even by magic.
That’s why she can run wild like this.
But to be honest, is it true that I also felt regretful?
I am also someone who has been touched and tasted a lot of blood throughout my past and present lives.
I don’t have the absurd idea that ‘the best way to win a fight is to avoid it.’
Shouldn’t I also relieve the body’s desire that has been itching since leaving the front lines?
Anyway, this is Aer’s space.
No matter what you do, it is a place where you can clean up after everything.
Thinking like that, my naturally inherent fighting spirit was rising.
-sssss
“… … ?”
Along with the boiling fighting spirit, another energy rose from my body.
“Kayram?”
A tall woman with flowing black hair.
Kayram, who had not been seen for a while after entering the academy, appeared for the first time in a while.
[I knew it would be like this.]
She looks down at me with haughty and sharp eyes as always.
But it feels a little different.
Two feet on the ground and a shadow illuminated by a torch.
A completely different atmosphere from the general materialization shown so far.
She no longer existed in a spiritual state.
“This, this… … ?”
The eyes of everyone around her, including Scilica, turned to her.

A perfect human form with no fog surrounding the toes or flickering afterimages. However, the cruelty that it gave off as a magic sword still remained.
[…] … .]
Kayram looked around at them without saying anything.
A weapon that inherits the power of a god.
A noble being that cannot be approached by lower-class humans.
Moreover, she is not another god, but a sword that inherits the power of Aer, the god followed by Mist.
In other words, for them, she is an idol who is identified with Aer.
-chuck
All the assassins who faced the divine weapon knelt before her.
Despite being adored by her followers, she seemed reluctant.
“You were so quiet that I thought you were dead?”
[The air here is so stuffy that I didn’t really want to show up.]
Come to think of it, this was the first time I brought her to the academy.
The frontline area was full of the fierce spirit and musical instruments of the demonic beasts, so it must have been a good area for her to be active.
But this is not a place where numerous magical energies are mixed together.
It was no wonder she didn’t want to show herself.
“… … !”
I felt dizzy from the sudden anemia.
As I said before, Kayram is now not in a spiritual state, but in a state of complete realization as a person.
In order for the sword soul to have a body, the owner’s power is absolutely necessary, so what currently makes up her body is entirely my life force.
As it could affect the owner’s lifespan if prolonged, it was a method that even she in her previous life did not use often.
The fact that she showed herself not only to me, but to all the assassins here… … .
He said he didn’t really want me to fight with Silica.
“Sirica Nigriti, head of the Mist. “I meet Aer’s successor, Demon Sword!”
She, who had lost her temper just a moment ago, greeted Kayram in a calm voice.
[You seem to know me?]
“I heard it from Aer. The weapon that inherited his power exists somewhere on this continent… … “I didn’t know that the successor already possessed the Demon Sword.”
Kayram was looking at Scilica with a stinging gaze, as if he was not happy about something.
[I don’t usually just show up to anyone, right? But the reason I showed up on my own is because I don’t really like the current situation.]
“What didn’t you like?”
[You saw me in the room earlier, right?]
“… … !”
Life flashed in Kayram’s eyes for a moment.
[There’s no way the head of the family doesn’t know me, and he even said he was the successor. And then you brought him here… … .]
“you’re right… … .”
[But what is this situation now? Not the others, but you who worship Aer, touch my master in my presence… … ?]
A wave of red light shimmered from beneath her feet.
[Can I see this as a challenge to me?]
As the whirlpool of death swirled, a strong wind blew around.
Scilica was unfazed and responded with a steady gaze.
“It was just a confirmation process. Not only did I need to confirm as the head of the family whether or not he was the true successor, but I also had to gauge the level of skill he possessed as the successor… … ”
[So why are you checking that? You don’t need anything else, just call your god! Am I wrong?]
what?
Why is he angry now?
She doesn’t seem like her usual self.
When it comes to fighting spirit, she is not easy, so I thought she would take a more active role.
This atmosphere is like… … .
“I apologize if you felt uncomfortable. “You are a magic sword that really cares about its owner’s safety.”
Although he was clearly apologizing, it didn’t seem like he was sincere.
Rather, it seems to be mocking… … .
Kayram must have recognized that, too, as his gaze became sharper.
“But it seems that the one causing damage to the successor right now is not me, but Demon Swordsman… … .”
A cold smile appeared on Silica’s face as she lowered her head.
[what?]
“Isn’t the Demon Sword now fully materialized to reveal himself? However, that is an inefficient method that reduces the owner’s vitality. “In fact, your master is having a very difficult time right now, isn’t he?”
Kayram’s gaze suddenly turned to me.
No, it’s true that I maintain you with my life force, but that doesn’t make it particularly difficult… … .
-Grumbling
“… … !”
In an instant, a stream of blood flowed down my nose.
Kayram saw that and grabbed me by the collar with an extremely angry face.
[hey! Are you bleeding because it’s just this hard? Did you waste the blood of the demonic beast? This didn’t bother him to show up, but he looked like he was having a hard time… … !]
“no! It’s just been a while since I’ve been doing this, so my body can’t get used to it… … !”
The effects of the demonic beast’s blood are definitely amazing.
I was afraid that someone had materialized with my life force, and the force that grabbed my neck and shook me was telling me to go away from a very high-level demon.
Still, as if his anger had not subsided, Kayram’s eyes turned to Silica again.
[If you like fighting so much, why not fight with me?]
Scilica jumped up as if she had been waiting.
“Sirica Nigriti, head of the Mist! I won’t refuse a fight! And if the other person is you, I can’t refuse you even more!”
It seemed like she had calmed down, but the fighting spirit boiled up in her body once again.
Not to be outdone, a large amount of speculation also surged in Kayram’s body.
The people around me, including myself, could only watch with blank eyes as the two women’s fierce lives raged in God’s subspace.
(Up to there……)
A majestic voice that spreads throughout subspace.
Everyone’s eyes turned to one place.
[…] … !]
“Aer!?”
The life of the two women, who had not known how to extinguish, died out the moment they heard their voices.
(Stop sending your successor to the altar.)
At the end of the passage, a magical space with shimmering black light.
My absolute, unforgettable and indelible owner was calling me once again.
