65. You Are All My Wings

This can hardly be considered a “death script” anymore! It is nothing but the incredibly simple and pure essence of “death,” with lines and phrases that instantly devour everything within my script, flooding my mind with this dark, chaotic content, as if it were bluntly urging me to “hurry up and die”!

Such a bizarre scene arrived so suddenly that I didn’t even have time to think about why the script had changed so drastically! All I knew was that, despite my frequent experiences and overcoming the threats of the “death script,” I had developed a considerable resistance to these matters, yet I was still momentarily shaken by this “curse” that seemed to whisper like an ancient god!

“What’s wrong with you!?”

Kefir, who had just been arguing with Nilu, was the first to notice my unusual state. However, just as she was about to come over and ask, Nilu pulled her back!

Because what Nilu had sensed first was something from the outside!

“Kefir, someone is coming!”

“What…”

Following closely, Kefir also keenly noticed this! Although I was completely neglected in this moment, I had not a shred of complaint; rather, I felt a sense of relief: Kefir, Nilu, you truly cannot come over to check on my condition right now!

Because those “death” contents that seemed ready to burst my mind, repeating incessantly until I was on the verge of collapse, finally revealed a change that filled me with panic and was something I truly did not wish to see!

【Death…】

The curse came to an abrupt halt!

【Ogilith has been ‘cleared’ by ‘will’!】

Because it had already transformed into reality!

A “shooting star” suddenly streaked across the night sky, accompanied by the thunderous sound of a sword shattering a massive rock, as a figure fell from mid-air. The white-haired “Elven Sword Saint,” Ludwig, dragged a severely damaged oversized sword with one hand, his entire body seemingly stitched together from various creatures’ limbs, appearing in this grotesque “patchwork” form, lifting his head!

At the same time, through my blurred vision, another figure emerged, dragging a scythe in one hand and holding a longsword in the other, her steps slow and graceful, making her outline seem indistinct in the darkness! Then, a hat flew off her head, white hair cascading down, as the “Pure White Nun,” Urasilu, emerged silently, as if she had been drawn out from the depths of this night.

【Ludwig and Urasilu have appeared!】

Ever since Urasilu escaped with Ludwig, I had suspected the relationship between these two spirits! And at this moment, suspicion turned into reality, for their intentions had just become clear in my script!

“Why are these two spirits…”

“Mr. Ogilvy, as expected…”

Kefir’s astonishment, Nilu’s frustration—there was no time to ponder these feelings, as danger had already closed in.

“Three of you, I warned you, evading the goddess’s judgment will only bring greater disaster.”

“Ah-ha~ Who made you turn out like this? Such troublesome beings.”

These were the final words of the two white-haired spirits before me: Urasilu and Ludwig. To me, it felt as if… they were the words they “themselves” uttered in their last moments!

Because next, their movements became somewhat “stiff,” as if they had slipped out of control! No more words, no acknowledgment of our reactions, and naturally… they wouldn’t give us any chance to “delay”!

And thus it began!

The content of the “Death Script”!

In their true forms, with their strongest powers! They came at us mercilessly!

“There is no will to think.”

The moment Ludwig spoke first, I had already sensed what these two spirits were doing!

“There is no body that can transform.”

And Urasilu’s subsequent words confirmed this for me!

“There are no memories worth holding onto.”

【Ludwig and Urasilu are preparing.】

These two spirits were about to unleash their domains as saints! And together, no less!!

Whether it was Ludwig’s or Urasilu’s domain, either one would be enough to overwhelm us! Not to mention they were coming at us together! Why had they joined forces!? Why had they suddenly appeared here!? Why were they targeting me!?

I had no time to think, for I knew: we were utterly powerless to resist! Even in their usual state, Nilu and Kefir struggled to cope, let alone after just finishing an all-out battle!

“Born of the hands of the goddess and order, you must cleanse the filth from the will of the world.”

Yes, yes! It’s not time for complete despair yet!

“Nilou! Quickly activate the teleportation spell!”

I shouted at Nilou without hesitation! If we can’t fight, we’ll run! There’s no shame in that at a time like this! Besides, do we have any time or opportunity left to think of other means besides this one!?

“You are the gifts of the goddess.”

Nilou finally snapped back to reality, the magic circles of the teleportation spell around us gradually glowing with light! What was originally Nilou’s attempt to take me away had now fortuitously become our only means of safety!

I immediately grabbed hold of the still-dazed Kephri!

Because, the script is about to unfold!

“You are the will of judgment.”

“You are the will of chaos.”

Is there still time!? Nilou, your teleportation spell shouldn’t have any troublesome switches to deal with after it’s activated, right!?

However, just as I was pulling Kephri’s hand, preparing to ask Nilou, I looked up and saw Nilou…

Taking a step outward.

In an instant, it felt as if my heart was being squeezed and then torn apart! Like a scar that had once formed, now ripped open again, bleeding profusely!

“Nilou!?”

Nilou turned back with a smile, as if she was no longer entangled.

“Mr. O’Keefe, it’s the maid’s duty to handle the aftermath. Since Kephri has already proven herself to me, then… I can temporarily rest assured to let her accompany you.”

I didn’t even have time to respond to Nilou’s actions! Because the two fairies over there had already begun to spread their domains!

“Domain: Judgment.”

“Domain: Chaos.”

“Nilou, what do you mean by ‘cleaning up’? Are you kidding me!? You can’t even handle one of them, and now two domains are overlapping, and you’re telling me to stay behind to ‘clean up’!!?

How could I possibly let you do that!

However, Nilou showed no intention of coming back, only casting a deep glance at me in the end.

“●● Master, just…”

Just what!?

Neither of you can be left behind.

“[Come here!]”

Did I manage to grab Nilou, or did I not!? I have no concrete memory of it! All I know is that when I looked again, I had already pulled Nilou into my embrace!

Nilou! Do you see this!? Can’t we just escape properly!? What are you thinking about staying behind, are you an idiot!?

Just then, as the domains of those two white-haired spirits were about to engulf us, the teleportation spell activated, and the three of us vanished in an instant.
