: fake (3)
'What happened?'
Gav couldn't understand the situation now.
The darkness he had been controlling went out of control and devoured the owner again.
How did this happen?
It was dark all around. It was natural. The darkness he calls is deeper and darker than the night.
It is a complete abyss where not a single point of light is allowed.
It was always his responsibility to imprison the enemy here.
However, now he is trapped.
'It is impossible.'
Gav tried to awaken the darkness.
He did not use normal mana. The purple darkness was the basis of his magic.
However, since he could not cast darkness now, he could not use magic either.
"What have you done to me!"
Gav shouted, looking at the place he didn't know whether it was up or down.
He had lived for ten thousand years, but it had been a very long time since he had been in this situation.
12 Once when the gods decided to erase the world, once when an apostle of the gods appeared and tried to kill him when he perfectly ruled the thousand-year empire, and once when he was helplessly deprived of control of darkness.
Almost 9,000 years have passed since the second crisis, so even a long time ago was not enough.
'To that kid, I !'
To be honest, I was amazed at Jamie's skills.
When he felt that he had a high degree of sympathy with him, he could also see that he also had the power of darkness to some extent.
However, his skills were far from over.
Only 7 classes.
He was far superior to that when dealing with black magic, but from his own experience, he was just a kid.
At first, I just pretended to be hurt. In order to take away the body more easily.
The problem is, he didn't know that he had a better talent for casting darkness.
"God damn it!!"
Gav opened his eyes and tried to take control of the darkness, but he felt nothing as if all the remnants of darkness had escaped from within him.
That was then.
[You look boring.]
A huge eye appeared in the darkness where there was nothing.
The bright purple pupils gave me goosebumps just looking at it.
[I guess. I thought he was deceiving, but it turned out he was being deceived.]
" what is your identity How can you create such darkness? I've lived for ten thousand years, but I've never seen a guy like you!
[Budgeri, who has only lived for ten thousand years.]
Two, three, five, tens, hundreds, thousands of eyes... .
It stretched endlessly and filled the darkness.
The multitude of eyes looked only at Gav.
[You don't know the subject, and you don't even recognize the master of your power.]
" host?
[Did I look so shallow? It's funny, it's fake.]
"I am not fake!!"
Gav screamed as he put a blood on his neck.
"I just do my best to survive! The ultimate goal of the species, that is, unconditional survival! So just use whatever is available! After all, when the world reset starts, all species are annihilated. So survive and spread the excellent species to the new world! Are you going to call me a fake?"
[I was just lucky. I was lucky enough to get my power and only to be recognized by the 12 gods.]
"You keep saying weird things. Is this darkness your strength? Where is the human being who has only lived for 8 years... ."
[Do I have to prove it? You, the fake, have lost control of the darkness to me. Now you can't even throw it away. If I want, I can crush you right now and let you experience the death you hate so much.]
"That, that ."
Not sure if he wanted to die even in this situation, Gav backed away, sparing his words.
Yes, there was nowhere to escape.
Jamie was disgusted with the sight and couldn't stand it.
[Ugly, Gav. No, the name Gav was also a name created by the 12 gods. A remnant of a past that doesn't even have a real name. That's you.]
"Oh, no. I'm not fake! I don't know who you are, but no one can sell me! Because of me, the present human race was able to continue until now! No one can deny this!"
[I just want to think that way. To the 12 gods, you were just a moving horse. Any new words to roll will rot and overflow to them. And .]
"What else are you going to say ."
[The reason why you were chosen by the 12 gods .]
Thousands of eyes narrowed.
[Because you have obtained my power.]
" What?
[Simply put, I was going to try and get the power of a man who did not surrender to them until the very end by means of you.]
" ."
[Otherwise, they have no reason to keep you alive.]
"What are you? what!! Answer me!
[I told you. I am the master of this darkness.]
darkness is creeping in
Gav staggered and fell to the floor.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud. The fact that he fell because he could not withstand the shaking of the ground did not feel realistic.
The voice continued.
[And.]
Darkness wrapped around Gav's head.
Gav was bewildered by the pressure that felt like his head was about to explode, and he tried to remove the darkness somehow.
He struggled to survive even in such a chaotic situation.
Darkness penetrated the skin and penetrated the brain.
Jamie, who had formed a body, said as he looked down at the writhing Gav with his cold eyes.
"To make you realize how meaningless your life is."
Gav's body, which was moving violently, drooped like a doll with a broken thread.
* * *
"It takes quite a while."
Yeah.
The three archmages, including Siegfried, were looking at the door that had not yet been opened.
The moment you put the battery tube on your head, the information you want comes in right away.
Among them, there will be some information that I wanted and some that I didn't want, but it didn't take that long.
If it was originally, it wouldn't be strange if I came out right away.
"Maybe something went wrong?"
"Were there any problems?"
"I don't remember."
They both nodded to see if they both agreed with Luke's last words.
For now, I decided to wait a little longer.
But as time passed, Jamie didn't want to come out.
Impatient Siegfried approached the entrance.
"You wouldn't know that the storage space of the battery coffin can only be accessed by less than one person."
"I am the protector of Confucius. It's meaningful to come here and be a protector, but I have a promise with Earl Wellton.
As it was the first time he went to pick up Jamie, Siegfried also had a separate seat with Earl Wellton at this appointment.
- Although my son is said to have become an archmage, he is still a child. I know I'm not an ordinary child, but as a parent, I couldn't help but worry. So I'm going to ask you a favor. Please take good care of my son in the future.
To that request, Siegfried readily replied that he would know.
So I'll have to check it out.
"What do you think the second elder will do?"
"Certainly what hasn't come out yet Something is strange."
"Ok."
As Linmehl applied Siegfried's words with strength, Luke scratched his forehead with an uncomfortable expression.
"I really want."
Luke shook his head as if he couldn't stop him.
"I'll do something I haven't seen."
"Thank you for that."
"Thank you, Elder 5."
The two put their hands on the door.
Mana flowed in, and a green line followed the circuit and spread throughout the hallway.
The door opened left and right with a slight vibration, and a large amount of water filled inside burst out as it was.
"What!"
"First, stop the water!"
"Damn it!"
The three archmages joined forces to push the water away, without anyone taking precedence.
Together, they were able to push out even a huge amount of water without difficulty.
The three archmage, who quickly became like drowning mice, looked at each other with serious faces, gasping for breath.
" Have you ever been like this?"
"It's a first in history."
"Simply put, it's an unprecedented situation."
"More than that, Jamie What happened to the three elders?"
Luke was the first to get up and magically dried his wet robe and walked towards the battery tube.
The two followed him, drying their robes.
"First of all, what should I do with this water?"
"Please."
Siegfried is a specialist in space magic.
When he lifted the summoned staff while chanting a spell, a round hole was created in the center of a huge space filled with water.
A large amount of water began to be sucked into it.
"Where did it lead to?"
"Lake Kepi."
Lake Kepi was a large lake not far from the magical realm, which could accommodate some of its water.
The water receded in an instant, and only then the three were able to enter.
Probably because there was enough water to fill the space, the water pressure must have been huge, and most of the artifacts that made up this place were broken.
Siegfried was about to leave the two of them and go straight to the broken glass coffin.
" ?!"
But access inside was impossible.
It was invisible, but a very strong wall was blocking it.
"Why but?"
"Some force is blocking it."
"Who is here ."
There were three people guarding the door.
To get in here, you had to go through the hallways and doors where they were.
However, it was impossible to come to this place unless it was an archmage, and it was impossible for even a highly skilled person to enter without being detected by the archmage.
In other words, it was a completely enclosed space.
"As long as the dragon doesn't come ."
It would be a different story if it was the dragon, the lord of magic, but what is it that the dragon secretly infiltrates here?
If you annihilate the magical world, you annihilate it
That was then.
hey hey-!!
The space twisted over the broken glass tube, and a strange light began to come out intensely.
The three of them dissected the composition of mana in their own way in order to understand the identity of the light, while preparing for an unexpected shock.
However, it was impossible to grasp the unknown light.
"The space is breaking out!"
Siegfried, who was the first to notice the uneasy shaking of the space, warned the two of them.
Then the light grew bigger and bigger and spread out wide enough to fill the invisible wall.
And.
coming!
The moment when the three of you feel a huge presence and are about to take a battle stance!
"Whoa~"
With a familiar sigh, someone appeared through the light.
The shadow of a small body trembled.
The three of them stared blankly at the small shadow, and Siegfried spoke first.
" Confucius?
Well?
Jamie said, looking at Siegfried and the two Archmage alternately with puzzled eyes.
"Why are you here? And ."
He glanced around the mess and frowned.
"What did you do here, did you mess up your surroundings?"
The three archmages, who became the main culprits for ruining this place in an instant, looked at each other and sighed lowly.
" I'm glad it's okay for now. Let's go downstairs and talk.
"That's right."
"Things are a pain in the ass. Sigh.
It was something that had to be resolved immediately, but when the subject I was worried about appeared casually, my strength was gone.
They left Jamie behind and left the space.
Jamie scratched his head for nothing.
what?
Then he shrugged and looked at the purple jewel in his hand.
The purple darkness that Gav swallowed was Diablo Volfir's black mana aggregate.
What. You didn't notice this, did you?
Jamie smiled as she recalled the situation just ten minutes before.
