The Villains Became Obsessed Bosses - Chapter 105



Part 5 Episode 6: Darkness and Light.

Obscure looked at Crow, relying on the small light leaking from the ceiling.

They were looking at each other without making even the slightest sound, but if the thought had a sound, it would create enough noise to fill the large cavity.

A quiet but noisy silence.

After a moment of silence, Crow finally spoke.

“To explain this story, we have to go way back in time. So, I’ll tell you only what is necessary.”

Qrow lifted his wrist and glanced at the watch hanging on his thin wrist.

The falling light formed on the glass of the watch, and Crow thought for a moment before continuing his explanation.

“A long time ago. So… Long before humans existed. There were two beings in this world.”

When Crow mentioned something from the past that was farther away than expected, Obscure’s eyes widened slightly.

“No one knows how they came to this world. But they existed in light and darkness, respectively. There was no conflict at first. But.”

Crow grabbed a handful of darkness.

Literally. I captured the darkness.

“Light and darkness must be distinguished. And their peace, which resembled those qualities, did not last long.”

Crow threw the darkness he was holding into the falling waterfall of light, and the darkness was instantly washed away by the bright current.

“The light wanted the continuation of life. The dark wanted the end of all life. So they chose competition rather than coexistence. A tediously long fight began.”

Crow looked down at his wrist again.

“Light and darkness collided. Light and darkness became entangled. The battle between good and evil continued. And the result is as you can see.”

Crow once again grabbed a handful of darkness and threw it into the waterfall of light.

The darkness once again struggled as if resisting and disappeared under the tremendous pressure of the light.

“Light was victorious. The victorious light tore the body of darkness to pieces and threw it across the universe. As time passed, the light met humans.”

Crow and Obscure simultaneously looked at Xiao and Haein.

“Yes, them.”

Crow shook his head and looked back, making eye contact with Obscure.

“The light loved humans. That’s why it wanted to give them many things. But what the light didn’t know was that the darkness had not yet disappeared.”

Crow smiled bitterly and pulled out his spear.

“The remnants of darkness that infiltrated the perfect paradise created by light corrupted humans, and humans received power in return for the corruption. Yes, they are ‘villains’.”

Only then did Obscure frown slightly.

‘..It’s a story that didn’t exist in the ‘original work’ I knew.’

“Well, what can you expect after that? Light, preoccupied with the endless proliferation of darkness, could not even pay attention to the spirit of darkness that escaped. In the end, only after its power weakened, was it able to discover the incarnation created by darkness. I was able to.”

“..Wait a minute. Then the incarnation is..”

Crow smiled slightly at Obscure’s question.

“That’s right. The incarnation is…[Advice, don’t focus on Crow’s words.]”

Obs Q stepped behind him, his eyes wide.

“Tooltip?”

This was the first time the tooltip made a sound.

And also very loudly so that the Obscure cannot hear what Crow is saying.

And then Crow looked down at his wrist again at Obscue’s reaction and said to Obscue with a grin.

“There. The guy watching from beyond our boss. If you’re going to come out, come out now. A fragment of ‘light’ will come soon.”

As if responding to Crow’s words, a tooltip quickly appeared in Obscure’s field of vision.

[Sink.]

“…What?”

It’s a warning too. It wasn’t even a recommendation.

It was an order.

[Sink.]

“What now…!”

When Obscure noticed something strange. It was when his mind was sinking into unconsciousness.

“….!”

But unlike before, when it sank by his will. It was sinking at a crazy speed, as if heavy shackles had been attached to it.

“Master!”

The greed that was in his subconscious came out and took hold of him.

“Ugh…!”

Arrogance attracted him.

“….!”

Anger pulled up his legs.

Sloth used his power to keep him from sinking.

Jealousy wrapped around his waist.

But.

[Come here. My body.]

With that one word, all resistance lost meaning.

The strong darkness pulls him down.

And how much did it sink?

Ops Q encountered something he called a ‘window’.

It was a huge door and a lock at the same time.

Obscue knew instinctively.

That thing shouldn’t be opened.

But the door was already open.

As if it were very obvious.

As naturally as opening the door of your own home.

Just like that, the window opened.

Obscue made eye contact with it.

Endlessly dark, it delved into the existence of the Obscure. The independence of the Obscue’s existence was stripped away, and it stimulated the spirit of the Obscure.

——-

“Quaaah!!!!

Obscure screamed.

“Humanity. Humanity is declining!”

「Current humanity: -56%」

Obscure let out a mental scream as he saw the shame of his humanity falling endlessly.

“Humanity…Humanity…!”

「Current humanity: -99%」

“It whispers to me that humanity is in endless decline!”

「Current humanity:-100%」

“aaah!!”

「Currently ???:1%]

It raised itself.

Everything that held it together was cut off.

Its spirit was further influenced by the Seven Deadly Sins.

It radiated black anger from its entire body, and Crow’s rope could not hold on.

“…Wow. Are you saying they invest more in bodies that have a high probability of descending?”

Crow looked down at his wrist again.

It is once again. I threw myself into a world that was horribly slow.

But in that slow world.

Crow was smiling.

And it was seen.

“It’s late. Uh.”

Crow’s lips moving slowly.

Quaaa.

A storm of light poured down upon it.

And it moved its body in pain.

“Where?”

Shine, riding on the flowing light, leaped towards it.

Quad.

Shine grabbed its neck and looked at it quietly for a moment.

“…I don’t know you very well.”

Shine was looking at the obscure.

“Don Quixote called you ‘a person who seeks his own justice, even though his methods may be evil’. It is an absurd statement, but I don’t know you well, so I don’t even know if that is true.”

Shine raised her fist.

“So, let’s find out who you are first. So come back first. Be who they said you were.”

Obs Q threw up her fist.

That fist filled with warm light.

I reached the presence of Obscure.

“……..?”

Obscure stood up again.

He was still unconscious. The background was noticeably different from before.

“…Clearly…”

Obscure muttered softly and raised his gaze.

And then Obscure faced the light.

「Hello?」

And the light greeted me as if my spirit was buzzing.

Obs Q instinctively leaned back, but the light was clearly different from the darkness.

Unlike darkness, which was deprived of its independence just by recognizing it, light did not even take any authoritative actions.

I was just looking at him.

“..Are you the ‘light’?”

「Yes.」

“…Why did you call me here?”

「Well… The darkness is trying to descend once again using you as a medium. The incarnation body is a kind of spare body. For beings like us to descend.”

This time, with no interference from the dark, the Obscure was able to hear a clear explanation.

“…If you kill me, this will be resolved. Why are you trying to do this?”

「…Hmm. I know. Why? Actually, there are many reasons to look for it. It’s also because of those children who are still worried about you when you fall. Above all, my incarnation does not wish for your extinction.”

“…Your incarnation. Ramen…”

「This is the child you think of.」

“…Then the reason you called me here is to prevent the darkness from entering?”

「No. I don’t have that much strength left. Most of them were given to magical girls. “The reason I came here is to give it back to you.”

“…What?”

「What you lost. That too. “A very precious thing.”

Light smiled and stretched out his hand to Obscure.

Then.

“……!”

「Current humanity: -16%」

This time, humanity began to soar in the opposite direction.

「Current humanity: 34%」

As humanity soared, Obscure noticed a rush of forgotten emotions.

Guilt.

“…Ah.”

Sadness.

“…aaah…”

Regret.

“…Ugh…!”

And.

A very small joy.

“aaa!!!!”

「Current humanity: 100%」

———

I finally came to my senses.

It felt like I had slept for a long time.

It feels as if I am watching another person’s actions.

I looked around very slowly.

When I opened my eyes, the scene I saw was light falling down from the ceiling with a hole in it.

My family.

Crow, Xiao, and Haein were looking down at me.

Is humanity returning?

I cry without knowing why.

I said with a smile to hide my tears.

I guess I should say this in this situation.

“I’m back.”

And in response to my greeting, Crow smiled and said…

But the smile is a bit ominous.

“What did you do? Catch it.”

As soon as Crow’s command was given, Xiao rushed over and tied my entire body with rope.

??????

I tried to struggle, but my arms and legs couldn’t move.

Even the eyes and mouth are strange.

“Your humanity will be so full that your synchronization rate with the dark fragments will be at its lowest, boss. It’s no use.”

Crazy…!

Crow approached me while I was struggling and viciously grabbed my chin.

“Hmm… So. What should I do with the boss now…?”

Crow’s abyss-dark eyes shine ominously.

“Ah! Yes, there is a basement. I need to lock him up so he won’t do anything dangerous like this again.”

Don’t go crazy. No hospital confinement season 2, crazy!!!

I looked at Xiao with earnestness.

“…Please accept it, my lord. Honestly…Tsk. No.”

Why does my tongue feel ominous? Why are you kicking me???

Hae-in?!

“……”

…Haein.

Crow looked at me with a smile as I was devastated by the fact that there were no allies, and then fired a confirmed kill.

“Knock it out.”

Ah.

Where did it all get messed up?

I closed my eyes, watching as if my consciousness was fading away.

And with the vision getting narrower.

I saw Shine’s dumbfounded expression.
