Chapter 176 – 176 – Paradise Lost #4
176 – Paradise Lost #4
Platinum Knight Alter Archibald won the duel against Gold Plate Knight Van Johan.
The difference in skill between the two was clear, and there was a gloomy feeling in the camp of the Queen’s army, which had been rejoicing over Van Johan’s struggles and successive victories just a moment ago.
Pang-!
At that moment, someone hit the cane on the floor.
“If this happens, I have no choice but to step forward.”
He was Thorin, the platinum wizard.
The Blood Crusade had an overwhelming power advantage with an army of 100,000, but-.
The appearance of the platinum wizard made me nervous and excited in many ways.
“You say you’re the strongest wizard?”
“I don’t know what magic they will do.”
In general, the 10,000 baptists who were late for their turn were nervous and afraid.
Of course, the monsters called Single Numbers actually increased their winning spirit.
“My master. “Please give me Galatea a chance.”
Zek-.
Galatea bowed her head.
But this time, another man slowly advanced towards the battlefield.
He was dressed in sleek leather clothes and wore a platinum-colored cross around his neck.
“Alter. Good job! Now I will show you. Agileth of Lightning. “How did that name come to me?”
He was Aguiles from the Platinum Knight.
He was the castle lord who guarded the fortress of Taeman and was also the highest knight of the old kingdom.
Thorin laughed haha at his appearance.
“Aguiles. I was wondering where he went, and it seems he ended up stuck there. Okay. Have you had enough fun now? From my perspective, it would have been better if I had been more lazy.”
“Sorin. There would be nothing more unsightly than old people like us being tyrannical towards young people. So, I will be your opponent.”
Sereung-.
Agiles pulled out the sword from her waist.
Looking at her, Thorin stroked her white beard and adjusted her wand.
“Wizards and knights. Auror and Mana. It’s always a fight where you can’t win or lose. I thought there would be no time in the future where I would have to compete with you. “It’s a new feeling to see you face to face like this.”
“About 40 years. “It’s time to put an end to that long fight.”
Tadadadadat-.
Agiles ran as hard as she could.
His steps were uncharacteristically light for an old man and were as light as a feather blowing in the wind.
Sasasak, Sasasasak-.
Agiles running in a zigzag pattern.
Thorin smiled at him.
“If you were a wizard of some sort, it would have been difficult to aim your magic, but haven’t you forgotten who the man you are dealing with is? “Seismic waves!”
Tang-.
The ground rumbled as Thorin struck the floor with her staff.
The scaffolding soon shakes greatly and begins to collapse.
“Oh my, it’s not like it used to be.”
Agiles lost her balance and tilted, and Thorin aimed his staff at Agiles without missing a beat.
Pababat-!
Sharp ice picks poured out from the tip of Thorin’s staff.
A martial arts spear that is said to be used only by magicians who have reached the highest level.
In Sorin’s case, his power was so strong that ice spikes as thick and thick as the pillars of a castle flew at the speed of cannonballs.
I love you so much-!
Death in the form of an icicle flying through the air.
Agiles absorbed all his strength and swung his sword.
Crumbling-!
Even though it was not fired, the sword was swung quickly and made a thunder-like sound, splitting the icicle in half.
And Agiles begins to approach the wizard, stepping on crumbling scaffolding here and there—.
“Look over there-.”
“Who on earth is that?”
「The battle between the platinum knight and the platinum wizard.」.
One by one, people are starting to turn their eyes away from the fight that will continue to lead to a lifetime of drinking snacks for many people.
Some people even took their breath away.
“It’s boring.”
Zek-.
Someone was standing up and walking towards the front of the people.
Just because of that, people lost their attention, and Thorin and Agiles also stopped their actions and turned their heads.
He was a man in a red robe.
His black hair was blowing in the wind, his face was somewhat gloomy, and his skin was as white as snow.
“That man…”
“Very…”
The Queen’s army was beyond agitated and amazed.
I thought the man with the red cross tattooed on his face was the leader of the group.
He was nothing more than an ordinary criminal, incomparable to the person who appeared now.
Beomgol Hans-.
He knelt down.
“Sorry. My master Due to our lack of strength, we were unable to make the enemies, who numbered less than 300, surrender!”
“Okay. Thanks to you, I saw a pleasant sight. But honestly, it’s boring now. It’s boring. “Honestly, it’s boring to have to watch something trivial on such a beautiful day when flowers are blooming and birds are chirping!”
Tsk-.
The man clicked his tongue
Seeing that, Platinum Wizard Sorin was astonished.
“You think our fight is trivial? Are you saying it’s boring?”
“Okay! Do you think swords and magic, blades and ice in the air can change the world? At best, it’s nothing more than a residual talent. All of this is just a performance by clowns!”
Sorin.
He was quite proud of himself as a great wizard.
It would have been natural to be angry if someone insulted it.
For some reason, I wasn’t angry at the story of a being who couldn’t be called a king or a priest.
I had a strong thought that I just wanted to hear what they were talking about.
Zek-.
The man spread his arms.
“One sentence is enough to change the world. It is truly a magical word and a true miracle. Come on, all peoples. Open your ears and listen to the story of me, Hyde!”
Crying-.
The man’s voice magically resonated through the earth and sky and passed like an echo through the canyon.
When there is so much tension -.
The man spoke quietly.
“Don’t fight, have sex with each other.”
Compared to the loud shout at first, the voice was like a whisper.
However, it was clearly heard by the ears of 100,000 and 300 people present.
As if hitting directly into the brain.
“The cries of false people are as loud as thunder, but they are nothing more than an illusion that wanders in the ears. The truth, no matter how small a whisper, splits trees and shatters the ground like lightning. Like me!”
“Haha!”
There was something funny about Thorin, the platinum wizard.
She then asked her old friend Agiles.
“Aguiles. Is that man the king you were waiting for? Have sex with each other. There is no king anywhere in the world who would tell such a story. “It won’t happen in the future.”
“… It’s a funny story, though. Isn’t it better than telling each other to fight to the death? Maybe the world needed someone who would talk about such things seriously and not be embarrassed.”
Thorin and Agiles put down their staffs and swords.
They realized it.
That their fight really meant nothing.
In the true sense, I realized that no matter who wins or loses or who gets hurt or dies here, there will be no change in the world.
The moment she dropped her wand, Thorin’s head seemed to clear up.
“Ah. Is it. Right. That’s what it is.”
Thorin suddenly wanted to see her daughter and the rest of her children who looked like him.
It was because he had only now realized that they were the greatest miracle he had invented and created.
It wasn’t swords and magic that changed the world, it was truly sex.
Newly born children-.
They were truly miracles that changed the world.
“Man. Hyde. Shepherd. Rust! “What kind of king are you trying to become?”
Thorin asked.
This confrontation─.
─This war was a war to choose a king.
The reason the queen’s forces camped out in desperate battle and risked death was to protect their queen.
“Try to persuade us!”
Thorin shouted again.
Thorin didn’t have any political stance, but she liked the ‘queen’.
She just thought it would be better if the leader was a pretty, young woman rather than a dark man.
It was such a small yet strange reason.
And for such strange reasons, the 300 members of the queen’s army must have followed her until the end.
It’s trivial, yet strange, and that’s why it’s so important.
But I thought that if this man was Hyde, he might be able to persuade them.
No conflict, no more bloodshed.
However-.
Hyde laughed.
“You idiots! I’m not trying to be a king. You can share the kingly things among yourself or discuss them with each other as you please! Therefore, you and I do not need to fight.”
“You don’t want to be king?”
Thorin couldn’t understand.
It was right then.
Zek-.
Someone got out of the group.
She looked like a new bride with her white veil and her white gloved hands were very beautiful.
“Saint Milione.”
“Hyde.”
The red man and the white woman looked at each other.
The emotions contained in that gaze were subtle, complex, and meaningful in many ways.
“…”
“…”
They just looked at each other for about 5 minutes without talking.
The silence was quite boring.
Naturally, people now turned their gaze towards their surroundings rather than looking at the two.
Only then did they realize that the weather today was very nice.
A warm spring day.
Flowers blooming here and there.
It was great weather to walk hand in hand with family members who love each other or watch small children running around and chatting.
People thought it was a waste to stand there blankly like this on such a nice day and at such a nice time.
I thought I wanted to get out of this place right away.
At that time, Milione opened her mouth first.
“Hyde. It was a lie after all. There was no such thing as Henry.”
“Yes.”
“Actually, there was no such thing as Rust, right?”
“Okay. It was me from the beginning. It was all me, Hyde, from the beginning. Just as there is no way you can become a new person by obtaining something like the Holy Grail. There is no way you can become someone else by wearing a mask.”
Zek-.
The man took out a mask with a red cross drawn on it from his arms.
And I dropped it on the floor.
Tuk-.
Soon Milione also took off her veil.
The swirl-shaped mask that replaced the face beneath the white veil sparkled in the sunlight.
“Well, that whirlpool mask is-.”
“No way—.”
When everyone is holding their breath-.
Milione said.
“Hyde. I am. I was dead for about 10 minutes. Do you know what I saw then? What did I see while I was dead? So, I don’t want to let you go.”
“…”
“I didn’t see anything. I did that for 10 minutes. I was enveloped in terrible nothingness. Furthermore, I saw neither heaven nor hell. And you are moving towards cold nothingness. I don’t want you to do that.”
Milione.
While she was dead, she saw neither heaven nor hell.
I’m just trapped in a world of nothingness.
After that, for some reason, Milione woke up again and realized.
Rather than wishing for an afterlife, you should do your best while you are alive in this world -.
But Hyde just laughed.
“Miglione, heaven and hell definitely exist. And, I will head to Paradise Lost no matter what! Lass!!!”
The man shouted.
Soon, a woman wearing a butterfly mask jumped like a shooting star from a high place.
Paaang-!
The land is sinking deeply.
Before we knew it, two masked women faced each other.
Two las.
Soon Las Milione of the Whirlpool Mask spoke.
“Psyche. You don’t know. What happens when Hyde goes beyond this? “If you love Hyde, it’s natural to stop her.”
“Okay. I do not know. But I trust Hyde. That’s my choice. Therefore, Milione. I will knock you down. And I’m not Psyche! Etch!”
“… Psyche, you and I have had the worst chemistry since long ago.”
“I’m sorry, Millie. I liked you.”
Milione and Psyche looked at each other.
Water and oil do not mix.
Ice and fire.
Heaven and earth.
Mountains and sea.
Their long, long fight will end today-.
“Psyche!!!”
“Millie!!!”
Pot-.
The two lunged at each other at the same time and their fists hit each other’s faces.
Paaang-!
Two masks flew into the air.
