: Greed (3)
The time was the Fourth War.
I've already lost a lot of colleagues. Whether it be a form of death or a form of betrayal.
Diablo was all alone.
It is safe to say that the war with the 12 gods was virtually defeated. But I didn't want to give up.
Since he had lost a lot, he had nothing more to lose. Even if I forsake everything, I wanted to bring down the 12 gods somehow.
Then she appeared.
"You are a pitiful and pitiful person."
He was the master of the shadow world known to exist behind the world and the king of the dark spirits, Venus.
Occasionally, I would go out into the world and enjoy excursions, but I didn't like the world polluted by the 12 gods.
Then I got to know Diablo Volfir.
A human who opposes the 12 gods who exercise absolute influence on the earth.
I watched him move with interest.
He was a great human being. A group of so-called heroes. Even where such people gathered, Diablo was a particularly outstanding leader.
Compared to the 12 gods, they were only insignificant human beings, but from a certain moment they began to overcome their stronghold.
It was very interesting for Venus, who claimed to be a bystander, and it was very enjoyable to watch him.
But the reality was grim.
He tried to overcome the strongholds of the 12 gods, but he ended up at the level of 'passing through'.
"Are you going to give up?"
The Fourth War was his defeat.
It was also an overwhelming defeat. His power, which seemed to threaten the 12 gods, collapsed so easily that it was futile.
loser's mourning
Diablo, who was alone, was no different.
But only the two eyes were different. Even though there was nothing left, Diablo's eyes were full of life.
He said to Venus.
"I need time."
It was unknown what those words meant, but Venus guided Diablo into the world of shadows.
Diablo did nothing in the shadow world for a while. It wasn't fun, but my eyes were on something and I watched a little more.
Then one day, Diablo asked her a favor.
"Let me write your world."
Venus wondered what the request was, but Diablo said he could not tell us yet.
I know it's stupid to allow someone like that, but it was a boring life anyway.
How much more joy can she have who lives forever?
12 gods. I wanted to see those little things eat one bite. So I told him to use it.
From that day on, Diablo Volfir was stuck somewhere and never came out.
How many years have passed
Venus had forgotten Diablo. 12 He cut off his interest in the earth, where the influence of the gods grew stronger, and only slept.
"Completed."
Diablo Volfir appeared suddenly and spoke to her sleeping.
What would you do in your own world?
The world of shadows existed long before her reign as queen. It has so much power.
But dealing with power was another matter.
Even she, one of the great spirit kings, praised as the Queen of Darkness, did not fully understand the world of shadows.
So said.
"Show me."
Diablo Volfir is an archmage who has reached the unrivaled level among humans.
So I expected
"Thanks to that, we were able to create a new source of power."
A beautiful dark light that rises from your hand.
Diablo, reborn as a mighty warlock, responded accordingly.
* * *
"But in the end I was defeated, and I knew I had been killed ."
Venus had an interesting expression on the changed appearance of his close friend after a long time.
Diablo Volfir, who created 'Black Mana' in his world, ascended to the ground again.
And with only his own strength, he faced the 12 gods.
With his new powers in his hands, he was terribly powerful, and in fact drove several gods to the brink of death.
But the result was defeat.
Diablo Volfir, reborn as a mighty warlock, was once again defeated by the 12 gods and disappeared.
But, what is the appearance of that young human being?
"What is that cute face?"
"I wish I could put on some clothes for you."
Jamie pointed to Venus, who was sitting naked and casually cross-legged.
"It's uncomfortable."
"I want you to be considerate of humans."
"There are many things I want from the subject that came to my world. Besides, it's ridiculous to call yourself just a human being.
Venus stood up with an annoyed expression on his face.
Taller than most men, she boasted a voluptuous body that could not be compared with anyone, but that figure was just a copy of a human.
Long ago, it was said that it was the most beautiful human figure he had seen while traveling on earth.
Venus stretched out his hand in the air, pulled the darkness away and wrapped it around his shoulders like a cloak.
"Are you okay?"
"It's better."
okay. It wouldn't have been easy to come here, would it?
As Venus sat back down and asked, Jamie nodded.
In fact, I wanted to come several times. It wasn't that he didn't remember the world of shadows. I just couldn't come because it was difficult to find materials to open the door.
So, when Kiriel said he was going to the world of shadows, he shouted joy inside.
"Because a man wanted to come in here. At the same time, I also prepared the ingredients, so... ."
So I was given something in return for my permission, I mean."
"You're still quick-witted."
"He's like a weak daddy."
Venus got up from his seat, kicking his tongue. Her throne faded like a bubble.
"What happened? What happened?"
For Jamie, Venus was one of the few things he could trust at this point.
More precisely, it didn't matter if she knew the secret. She is not on anyone's side. If I had to ask, it's a closer relationship with me, and I hate the 12 gods, but that's about it.
For Venus, the ruler of the shadow world, what happened on earth was only part of the entertainment.
"I don't know either. It was sealed by them, and when I came to my senses, it was revived in this body. That's it."
seal? Wasn't he killed?
"They failed to kill me."
"It's interesting."
Venus walked over to Jamie's side, put a hand on his shoulder and turned around. Then he brought his dark red lips to his ear.
"So, what are you going to do next?"
Excited voice.
Jamie knew somewhat of Venus' character.
She has a strong curiosity about the part she is interested in, and likes to voyeurize it.
However, Diablo Volfir, who was once the object of greatest interest, reappeared in the world.
now that I found out about it. Venus couldn't help but be more excited than ever.
Jamie said leisurely.
"First, we need to restore the power of our prime."
"Well, you are too weak right now."
Wine-colored hair tickles the tip of her nose.
Venus walked forward with Jamie's back. Darkness rippled as she walked, enveloping her like an escort.
Darkness became a black dress that covered her purple skin, and Venus, with her puffy skirt, looked back and said.
"It would be nice to watch it slowly."
It was a car that had been free for a long time.
I was also tired of sleeping. I got tired of voyeurizing on the boring ground. It was a car that was tired of everything.
what to do It was a time when I was worried about whether war should be declared in the spirit world.
"Please don't let me down this time."
"Are you a little disappointed back then?"
"Fufu. It's pretty ugly that I didn't catch one of those many gods on a subject that made my world power mine.
Venus is not on Jamie's side.
It is simply an object of pleasure.
Jamie smiled knowing that too. A simple relationship like this is better than a mix of interests.
"Anyway, are you allowed?"
"Hmm. Why does that person want to come here?"
"It sounds like you want to go to the afterlife."
"Huh."
At that, Venus swallowed a smirk.
"There are still humans who have such vain greed."
"The choice is yours."
"My pleasure is back after a long time, so I'll allow that much. It wouldn't be a bad spectacle for me either.
A happy smile spread across Venus's lips as he said that.
Jamie nodded and turned around.
With the permission of Venus, the Queen of the Shadow World, Kyrael will be able to go to the afterlife without difficulty.
'I don't know what I want to do there.'
Everything is Kiriel's choice.
* * *
Come on in.
" Did it really happen?"
"Come on before the queen changes her mind."
Is the master of the shadow world a woman?
Kiriel was intrigued by that fact, but now there was something far more important than that.
You can enter the shadow world. Through it, you can enter the afterlife.
Only the thought of meeting his son filled his mind.
how many years I do not know. I can't afford to even think of such a thing.
She followed Jamie into the door.
Darkness, and a gloomy darkness greeted her.
"This is the shadow world ."
"Go ahead and you will get there."
"Aren't you going with me?"
"Because only Kiriel-sama was allowed."
" Evolve Avalon was placed under the counter."
Okay. Then come on."
Jamie bows her head and tries to go outside again, but Kiriel calls him up.
"I am grateful to you. Even though it was a contract, I was able to enter the shadow world with ease."
Those words grabbed Jamie's foot.
He let out a low sigh, thinking he had to say something he didn't want to say. Still, thanks to her, I was able to get All Might back.
Kiriel was walking in the direction Jamie had indicated.
Jamie turned to her back.
"Don't be greedy. never.
Kiriel went away without answering whether he couldn't hear it or was possessed by something.
Jamie shook her head and muttered.
"The moment you get caught up in greed, you will never get out of it."
Jamie walked out, hoping she could hear her.
And the door leading to the shadow world was closed.
It won't be difficult to open from the inside, so if Kiriel wasn't blinded by greed, he could come out again.
But Jamie knows.
'Kyriel can't come out.'
afterlife.
The world known as such is not actually the world the dead go to.
It was a hell of a fly that blinded the living and held them forever. If you are not blind, you can only get out of it after grasping the reality, otherwise... .
"Let's stop."
Jamie grabbed Evolve Avalon and exited Ars Magna.
Siegfried leaned against the wall, waiting for him.
"Did the contract end neatly?"
Yeah. Very neat."
"The contents of the contract That's it. 'Cause I can't even say Let's go. This boring Saint-Dermain must also leave."
Yeah.
The two of them disappeared.
