Chapter 1231 – #288_Fable (5)

#1225

1.

A heartfelt clash between two witches that reduces the power of existing witches to nothing.

This created randomization of large-scale space that had never been observed before.

In a randomized space, all kinds of unpredictable strange phenomena occur that even witches cannot predict.

The laws that define the world are all messed up, magic forgets its principles, common sense is distorted, and even phenomena overlap.

The scenery of the magic world, where an ordinary witch would not be able to save her life just by being swept away, is diverse and amazing.

The ‘pure white light’ brought by Erelim was split as if it had passed through a prism, differentiated into various magic, and floated in the air.

It was the ultimate form of magnetic magic pursued by different witches.

The ‘red straight line’ launched by Siwoo was also split like bamboo and floated disintegrated into a circular shape.

It was also the original source of magnetic magic that Siwoo possessed, including waves, distortions, and elements.

The magical clash containing the essence of the two people was stuffed and flickered in space like two trees growing intertwined.

Shiwoo, who was lying in the middle of that other world, slowly opened his eyes.

“Ugh.”

My head is pounding.

I felt something lukewarm flowing down my forehead, so I burned my hand and luckily it was just blood.

She was in such bad shape before she fainted that I feared that her brain might have been flowing.

“Article… I almost got screwed…”

It was dangerous.

Erelim’s attack wasn’t dangerous.

A power that humans cannot dare to possess.

Perhaps because she was going for it, her head started shaking in the middle.

If the accident hadn’t stopped in the middle, I would have been swallowed up by the mind that opened its eyes inside me.

He must have been swallowed up by the chaos, shouting about throwing off the shackles and exterminating humans! And not even being able to recall the faces and names of his lovers and Mallika.

Because it felt so natural at the time.

Because I felt that in order to transcend, I had to be freer than anyone else, and to be freer than anyone else, I had to throw off the shackles.

To put it simply, should I say I used the wrong technique?

While learning some kind of magical art, I lost my sanity in a flow that I could not resist on my own, as if I had been attacked by a magician.

In a split second, we reached the 25th level, but if we did that, it would mean nothing to us, even if it was a victory.

Perhaps he would have become something like the ‘King of the Witches’ according to one of the two prophecies.

As of now, Siwoo can only guess that way.

Rather, the fact that he lost consciousness for a moment due to her attack worked as a positive factor.

“Thanks to you, I survived. Duke of Erelim.”

In any case, it may not have been intentional, but Erelim’s attack derailed the runaway train that was rushing to the edge of the cliff.

Also, although it was not his intention, Siwoo also read Erelim through ‘Palace of Memory’.

The tangled memories, regrets, and delusions that leaked through her ‘light’ at the moment when she lost her mind.

Not all memories have been uncovered one by one.

Since the origin of the light that Erelim wields is’hope’, she only glimpsed her memories of Erelim’s resentment of her.

Still, it would have been enough to understand the context.

The ‘system’ that determines the limits of witches.

This is a limitation that arose when the original witch of creation fled to a world line where witches did not exist.

Keter gave up everything and only sought a new path.

Erelim obeyed without knowing that fact. The betrayal she felt when she realized the truth too late.

The war between Gehenna and Hexennacht to establish a new order.

As the Queen of the Abandoned, to prove that the deaths of the departed witches were not in vain, she seeks to bypass the system and open a new path through Malika.

“I didn’t see it on purpose. “I just found out by chance.”

Erelim dispersed the remnants of her delusion and felt the traces left inside.

It’s as intuitive as if someone were to open the diary I keep very precious and immediately recognize that fact.

“If I say something like this in advance before the fight, what’s the point?”

Shin Si-woo, who was trying to talk, did not look like he had been caught up in the madness just a moment ago.

The moment Erelim looked at her with clear, transparent eyes that contained even a little bit of pity, she was seized by a reflexive feeling of rejection similar to disgust.

Remember? It is indeed a shallow impression.

He doesn’t know.

What it was like to be abandoned by someone she trusted and blindly followed as her mother her all her life her.

How terrible it is that the utopia that we tried to achieve with dedication and sacrifice is actually just an illusion.

What a tragedy it is that the result of a noble legacy that was passed down from generation to generation turned out to be a nonsense with a fixed destination.

Shin Si-woo, who has not yet lived the lifespan of a mortal and is still completely human, cannot understand.

“Don’t look at me like that.”

A low voice growls with hostility.

Anyway, the war ended in Gehenna’s victory.

I knew Erelim’s purpose, motivation, and true intentions.

Until now, Erelim was clearly an enemy that had to be killed.

Because she is a war criminal who ignited her war into an all-out war by sticking to her public side and saying that humans are dangerous in the first place, and I received intelligence that she was targeting Malika.

It was inevitable that Erelim had to be eliminated, both to end the war and to protect her family.

However, there was no such hostility left in Siwoo now.

I almost want to pay my respects to her for the purity of her intentions and the weight of the karma she has carried.

It’s good to stay in sane.

Blanche Erelim’s life her was filled with a strong purpose, neither magic nor transcendence, but only’for the sake of the witch.’

The brilliant light she gave off was also a sublime light that came from taking care of the mausoleum alone when no one was watching.

Siwoo shows no mercy when it comes to cruel and brutal exploits, but his opponent is not a madman.

A person with whom there is room for conversation.

So, even though it’s a bit late, wouldn’t it be a good idea to at least talk about it?

“You know this is wrong, right?”

There was a more convenient option for Erelim.

There is no need to bother starting a war, just reveal the truth of the world and point to Mallika as the key.

If that had been the case, she would have obtained Mallika much more easily with the protection of many witches.

Perhaps, we may have seen the true scene of Hexennacht and Gehenna uniting to pursue the Siu family.

But she didn’t.

Why?

Although he said it was a test of qualifications and all, Siwoo could feel the rationalization embedded in it.

What is the reason for attacking people by talking about ‘qualifications’?

Why did the element of’sinful karma’come into play in her fantasy?

Deep down, she is also being stabbed.

She knows she’s doing something wrong.

“Do you mean to kidnap someone else’s child who is not even able to walk yet and use it for research purposes?”

After hesitating for a moment, Lelim opened her mouth.

His will is firm, but he seems skeptical about whether this conversation is meaningful.

“… “I’m trying to choose a path for everyone, not just one person.”

“Well… You had such a situation. Here is my daughter. Should I say use it as much as you want? I’ve never seen a person in their right mind who would sacrifice a cow for the greater good. “What is the difference between your actions and the person you hate so much?”

Siwoo points out that evil deeds carried out in the name of justice always have a good cause.

However, Erelim is not shaken to this extent.

From the beginning, I was prepared to get my hands dirty, and this is the path to achieving a long-held wish that has been desired for not just one or two years, but close to a thousand years.

“I’m not hoping for anyone to understand.”

But that is not the only contradiction in Erelim’s actions her.

“For some reason, I wasn’t going to say something like this. If you pretend to carry all the world’s tragedies on your own and promise yourself that you will take it all on your own. “Do you feel like you are a very tragic heroine?”

“…”

“Are you great? Recording the witches’ last moments? I’ll admit it. Maybe it’s because I drank a lot of Gehenna water, but I feel so noble.”

“…”

“But did those witches ask you a favor the moment they left? Would you like me to carry it for you? My life has been sacrificed for magic, and I have passed the terrible fate of committing suicide as promised to an apprentice witch. So my life was filled with tragedy. So, please bear with me and record this sad and fleeting life. “Have you ever heard a request like this?”

“…”

Even though Erelim was a bit frustrated and annoyed and said something that could be perceived as a provocation, there was no change in Erelim’s expression of her.

Also, with that blunt face on his face, is not he thinking to himself, ‘This level of criticism is worth hearing?’

“And then again, he is arrogant to the point of being arrogant. Let’s say the system is restricted from passing more than 25 levels. But why are you so sure that no one but you or me can break through it? . You say you value other witches so much, but you can’t trust them? “Who knew that Count Gremory or Duke Cagliostro would succeed?”

“This is something that not even Keter could accomplish.”

In fact, there are many contradictory aspects of Erelim’s actions her, but this is the most incomprehensible part.

“Look at that. At the end of every word, Keter Keter Keter. Even though she says that Keter is wrong, she secretly thinks that you can’t do it alone by targeting Mallika, who is Keter’s legacy her, right?

Since I can’t trust others or colleagues, I have to do it myself. Also, since I can’t do it alone, I have to use the legacy left by Keter. What is it? This. It’s a mess.”

“…”

Erelim’s silence is not because she was influenced by Siu’s persuasion and was at a loss for words.

She is not stupid.

If one wanted to, one could raise countless objections.

She was able to defend herself from a perspective that Si-woo did not see.

The reason I didn’t do that is because I know that the two people ultimately cannot understand each other.

Even the same picture looks different depending on the angle from which it is viewed.

Moreover, the differences in viewpoint that arise from having very different life trajectories, times, and values ​​​​​​are not something that can be narrowed down through conversation.

In the end, both witches and humans are just others to each other.

“Let’s end the conversation here.”

Slightly Associate Professor Mode Amelia Family…

Siu’s head hurt when he saw Erelim interrupting her without any emotion.

From experience, that type is not easy.

Honestly, if you look at the Palja itself, it is acceptable even if it is ugly.

Because she believed in and followed Kether more than anyone else, Erelim even killed her colleagues and pledged to create a world for her witches.

I can’t say that I don’t understand all of her cold-hearted behavior after learning the truth about the world.

If it weren’t for her past bad relationship and targeting Mallika, he might have thought she was sad.

Loneliness is a sad thing for everyone.

“Good.”

Erelim is stuck in solitude.

There will be one of two ways for her to be convinced.

Either kill her or kill her.

Either give me Malika.

The former is not an easy subject and leaves a bitter aftertaste, and the latter is absolutely unacceptable.

That’s why Siwoo chose the third path.

“System. I’ll give it a try. Were you watching there while looking for Keter?”

It radiates magical power.

Golden particles lay a stairway rising to the sky in front of Siwoo.

As always.

To resist fate and find new answers.

Bloom.
