Episode 719: For the Last End (4)
A strange silence passed between Arkenis and Linne.
They recognized each other immediately.
It was an area close to instinct or fate, with no general thinking or reasoning involved.
“you are… … .”
Line looked at Arkenis and wondered what to call her.
Arkenis greeted Linne with a gentle smile.
“nice to meet you. “You are the owner of this era who inherited my decision.”
“Uh, I… … .”
“There is no need to be so nervous and embarrassed. “Is it what you did to bring those people?”
“Ah yes. that’s right.”
After Salesin appeared, Rine immediately used space magic to move the people in the spire to the outer area of the fortress.
It was an action I took in order to avoid getting caught up, and in the end, it was the correct answer.
A student like Julia would not have been able to recover from the march of destruction caused by others fighting.
But Line didn’t stop there.
The moment she saw Salesin’s power, Rine realized that she couldn’t defeat him like this.
The decision did not foresee the future. The moment Salesin intervened, the decision was useless.
Invisible future.
But no matter how positively I tried to look at the situation, it was not good.
That’s why Line decided to follow her heart.
To get help from others, Line used space magic.
So we brought people in one by one.
Hans and Pantos, Passius, Loina Pavlini, Huron, etc.
Their appearance gave Sedina some breathing room, giving the others time to recover.
“It’s great.”
Arkenis smiled at Linne.
Line was embarrassed, so she couldn’t answer right away and just nodded her head slightly.
“Did you say Rine? What do you see in your eyes?”
Line quickly understood the meaning of Arkenis’ question.
“It doesn’t look right. “It’s like there’s a thick fog, and you can’t see anything clearly.”
“How does it compare to the beginning? There must have been some kind of change.”
“It seems like things have become brighter beyond the fog, a little.”
“That’s it. “What you did created a brighter future.”
“Me?”
Catherine asked on behalf of the surprised Line.
“But is that possible? The future is changing. “Up until now, the future seen through the decision has always been the same.”
“that’s right. So did I. No matter how far into the future I looked, the future remained fixed and unchanging. Instead, trying to change it would lead to bigger problems.”
The future was ultimately a branch that stretched out into its best form.
The moment you try to change it, you deviate from the best and go from the next best to the worst.
And of course, there was more evil than good in this world.
“But it’s different now. At some point, the future stopped being fixed and started to change. “It’s like I’ve never seen a future where I woke up so clean.”
“That means now… … .”
“It’s a very important starting point. “An inflection point where the fixed future begins to become fluid.”
Arkenis spoke to Linne.
“That is why the future you saw was not a fixed darkness, but a hazy fog. Depending on the choices we make, the landscape beyond the fog we arrive at will change. So you shouldn’t lose hope now.”
Arkenis’ voice had power.
When I heard her voice filled with conviction, as if she was not a saint for nothing, I felt courage welling up in me.
I had to create a future and move forward.
And the only way was to defeat Salesin, who was trying to close the future.
* * *
‘Something is strange.’
Salesin thought as he defended against the incoming magic with his vast divine power.
The endless struggles of the insects kept him on the defensive.
In particular, quick-footed knights were the most annoying bugs.
If I were to compare it, should I call it a mosquito?
Kaga River!
Most auror blades cannot pierce his skin.
But not all articles did that.
Suddenly!
A scratch appeared on Salesin’s neck.
“Damn, that was shallow.”
Alex muttered regretfully. The wound on Salesin’s neck healed quickly, but his red eyes became cold.
After all, that test is dangerous.
“Where are you looking?”
At that time, Luthus thrust his sword from the back of his head.
Salesin raised his hand and blocked the storm-filled sword. His pure white palm was torn and blood flowed.
“Are you still believing in that divine power alone? “It’s not like we fight thoughtlessly.”
Before Salesin could say anything, a large anchor fell vertically.
Quang!
Salesin raised his sword of light and struck with an annoyed look on his face.
The dark-colored anchor was hit by the sword of light and its direction was bent vertically.
At that moment, the anchor chain on the anchor moved and wrapped around Salesin’s body.
Pantos stabbed the harpoon with both hands between Salesin’s eyes.
Parching!
The thick and large anchor chain could not withstand Salesin’s force and broke into pieces.
The same goes for Pantos, who was caught up in it.
The moment they tried to get rid of the annoying beastman, Alex stopped them, and the moment they tried to attack Alex, other knights stopped them.
When trying to deal with knights, wizards were a problem. All kinds of magic that disturbed the five senses made Salesin’s spirit wild.
Meanwhile, the knights who had recovered tried to take advantage of him again.
‘Why doesn’t it fall down?’
Salesin’s gaze turned to Sedina.
She used plants to make herbal medicine and healing powder and sprinkled them around.
The wounded man made by Salesin recovered quickly and jumped straight to the front lines.
It wasn’t just Sedina. Bella Luna was also seen creating the optimal recovery potion by combining the surrounding herbs.
‘Even if we recover like that, it won’t even be able to return the mental strength of the injured people. ‘How on earth?’
The more you get hurt, the more your mental strength declines and you eventually fall into a state of frustration.
That was natural, it had to be that way.
Yet look at those who are fighting now.
If they fell, they would get up again, and each time they would, they would viciously try to bite Salesin.
Even though they suffered, they did not become weak.
Rather, it burned my will to a strange degree.
Are you not afraid of pain?
You might die, so why do you keep fighting?
Why not just lower your head? Shouldn’t I just obey?
You can have wealth and fame that cannot be compared to others, but why?
‘It can’t just be a simple slander. ‘You have to stop breathing at once.’
But even that wasn’t easy.
In particular, Selina, who had assimilated with the spirit of darkness, was a problem.
“Help me. Esmeralda.”
When Selina held out her hand, the darkness that shimmered like a mirror behind her grew like taffy and swallowed the light of Salesin.
Surprisingly, that darkness nullified the light of destruction radiated by Salesin.
Although the darkness was weakened accordingly, the important thing was that it nullified Salesin’s attack without causing any significant damage.
‘That darkness will swallow me up no matter how strong my power is.’
Darkness that swallows up a certain amount of light, regardless of its size.
He was persistent and stubborn, as if it were his destiny.
‘I never thought the existence of a spirit that deviates from reason would be so disturbing.’
Impatience was slowly eating away at Salesin.
If we continue like this, we will end up losing the bowl again at the end of a war of attrition.
“Then I will finish it first.”
When Salesin showed signs of doing something, the knights retreated.
It was a great decision.
If you had tried to stop it for no reason, you would have been swept away.
“But it’s no use.”
Salesin lowered his upper body.
Light broke through his skin. As the numbers increased one by one, the skin on Salesin’s entire body disappeared and turned into light.
Selina frowned at the enormous amount of light.
“I can’t swallow all of this! Everyone, avoid it!”
Salesin exploded the power within him at once.
He doesn’t even care that the vessel containing him breaks in the aftermath.
Parching!
With the sound of glass breaking, lights containing the sculpture of Salesin were scattered in all directions.
It shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Because each piece contained sacred power that could easily wipe out a village.
The knights realized that they could not block or let go and began to dodge.
The wizards gathered together and created defensive magic to strengthen the defense.
Selina created a mirror of darkness and placed it around the front.
With that alone, the flying fragments were consumed by the darkness and disappeared.
However, there were cases where it could not be completely avoided.
It was Sedina and Bella Luna.
Salesin attempted to self-destruct by deliberately throwing away another of his vessels, directing most of the aftermath towards Sedina and Bellaruna.
Salesin, who quickly regenerated his body in the center where traces of the explosion remained, looked in the direction where Sedina was.
Seeing that there were solid trees growing nearby, I tried to defend myself, but it was a wrong choice.
Because this wasn’t something that could be prevented with just a tree like that.
Naturally, the trees were either burned or torn to shreds.
‘done.’
However, the desired body could not be seen beyond the fragmented tree.
There was nothing there, as if Sedina and Bella Luna had never been there in the first place.
“what?”
It was a moment when Salesin was embarrassed.
Suddenly!
His chest cracked diagonally and collapsed.
The fallen upper body turned into light and quickly returned to its original form.
But Salesin knew.
Because of the attack a little while ago, another vessel was consumed.
Including the self-destruction just moments ago, two dishes were blown away in an instant.
“Who are you?”
Salesin glared at the criminal who cut off his chest with burning eyes.
Those red eyes contained the image of Rine.
Liné was swinging her sharp hand.
Next to him was Ludger.
Salesin’s expression distorted when he saw Line’s bewildered face even though he had done this.
“… … It was you. Could it be that the magic you just used was space cutting?”
Even though it had just been regenerated, it was not a body that had been cut off so vainly.
It was also the case that the cross section was strangely smooth when cut.
If it was a space cut, it was understandable.
But I never thought I could handle spatial magic like that.
“It seems like it would be better to use a more crude attack rather than a precise attack. “I saw that it came back cleaner than I expected.”
Ludger, who taught Linne the method of cutting space by her side, muttered.
It was a voice that could be heard as if it were telling Salesin to take medicine.
Salesin tried to say something, but frowned at the pain he felt in his chest.
‘Are there still repercussions of the attack?’
It wasn’t phantom pain. Rather, the magic that Rine used still had an effect even after he was regenerated.
“This is a dangerous ability.”
In addition to the darkness that swallows light, it is a magic that splits space and inflicts damage on oneself.
“But I made a mistake. “That blow just a moment ago only made me more alert.”
Line’s expression hardened.
It was just as Salesin said. It was just that the surprise attack worked out of luck, and there was no guarantee that it would produce the same result in the future.
The power of the space cut was outstanding, but its trajectory was where Line’s hand blade was headed.
It was clear that Salesin would have guessed Line’s trajectory just by looking at her hand movements and would have dodged it right away.
‘What about other magic with space?’
Rine thought she needed to use a new magic, but it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.
Moving through space was something I learned instinctively when I awakened my magic power, and in the case of cutting, I was only able to implement it because Ludger taught me to use it as a quick attack.
That was it.
Other technologies were just in my head, and I wasn’t sure if I could actually implement them or not.
And Salesin’s momentum was not particularly strong right now to attempt that.
“If you had just been so gentle, I could have given you all the wealth and glory as my saint in the future. After all, humans can’t help kicking that blessing away with their own feet.”
Salesin stretched out his hand toward Rine.
“In that case, we have no choice but to rule by force.”
Liné trembled.
come. It was the power to control the minds of others.
Because she had already heard enough warnings, Line reflexively tried to prepare.
‘But how?’
Is it possible to control oneself, who possesses the power of judgment, with the power of brainwashing?
The powers of the two are ultimately like brothers, connected by the same roots. It did not occur to me that the equal power would engulf either side.
‘Oops!’
But Line realized.
Salesin’s aim was to create this loophole.
In the first place, Salesin had no intention of brainwashing Line.
He knew better than anyone else that he couldn’t do that because he had the judgment.
Instead, Salesin’s brainwashing was directed at other people around him.
Especially knights whose minds are not properly protected.
An invisible and intangible wave was shot towards them.
As time passed slowly, Salesin saw Ludger.
-Ludger was laughing at himself.
‘You’re laughing? why?’
It’s not that he didn’t react at all until he activated his authority, but is it that he didn’t do it on purpose?
When Salesin’s doubts reached their peak.
It happened at the same time that the two people who had been hiding secretly revealed themselves.
“Disciple!”
“I know!”
A joker card hidden until the end.
Aidan and Mandelina swung their sword-shaped staffs crosswise.
