Chapter 37: Awakening (3)

There was no place where the fire did not burn.

Fire and hail intertwined and fell from the sky, and lightning flashed continuously, connecting the sky and the earth.

It was like when the world was born in the beginning, but on the other hand, it was like seeing the end of the world.

There stood a black-haired man wearing a black robe.

All around, I could see humans running towards the enemy with the momentum of a life-and-death decision.

Likewise, it was the same humans who fought with them.

fraternal cup.

Why can't we kill each other even though we're the same person?

The answer was not far away.

Twelve gods arrogantly looking down on the earth from the sky.

All the humans who became enemies are their followers.

The black-haired man was very tired.

"You are tired."

This is already the fourth war.

This pointless war has already been waged four times.

Does it mean that it is so difficult for everyone to have the same meaning?

Because of the three tongues of the 12 gods.

Those wicked marauders deceived them with the sound of their mouths.

It's upsetting and it's sad

"Diablo!"

Colleagues calling from behind.

A swordsman dressed in oriental clothing passes by and shouts.

"Don't be idle!"

Chook Jun-kyung said so, slicing the approaching enemies at once and dug into the enemy camp.

Thankfully, he is a colleague who came here from a distant land and gave me strength.

In addition, Jane summons the water spirits to cover her allies, and Diomedes follows the sights and stirs the enemy.

Maymil's golems intercept those who have borrowed the divinity of the 12 gods, and Andrea amplifies the power of allies with her unique power.

Everyone is struggling to win this last war.

"What am I doing?"

These are the co-workers that you have gathered yourself.

But the person who actually gathered people is just standing so stupidly.

I saw the fresh killer in my hand.

A piece made to kill a god cries out to use it quickly.

okay. My co-workers do their best without sparing their lives, but even for them, I can't play for myself.

Diablo Volfir was determined to take a step forward.

"Master."

Then, I turned my head to the voice I heard from behind.

"Azel."

Standing there was Azel, who was by far the most outstanding of his disciples.

He, too, was in the midst of several great wars to help his master.

"Where are the other children?"

"We are preparing a super magic circle."

Diablo's master's proprietary super magic circle.

The disciples couldn't handle it alone, but if they all worked together, they could create a super-magical circle of the same level.

With the power of the Super Magical Circle, it would be able to inflict considerable damage on the enemy.

"It's a lot of trouble."

"Now, Master, what are you going to do?"

"I have to fight with my comrades. I can't let them fight forever.

i See.

Azel nodded with a curious face.

Diablo, unaware of it, looked in the direction of his comrades.

It is not clear how long the 12 gods will be on the lookout, but when they are just watching, it is necessary to cut off the hands and feet called the apostles.

Because they are the closest to the 12 gods, they are the most tiring opponents if the gods go out on their own.

"Take care of yourself, Azel."

"Master."

As Diablo was about to return to the battlefield, leaving the rest to his dearest disciple, the disciple summoned his master.

"Why? Whoops!!"

Diablo turned around and widened his eyes at the feeling of the blades digging into his stomach.

Azel thrust a sharp dagger into his stomach.

Diablo grabbed his hand tightly with both hands.

"Uh, why?"

" ."

"Why did you do this? Don't you know that I won't die just by striking a dagger?

Although Diablo was embarrassed by his disciple's betrayal, he concentrated on recovering the wounded area by circulating mana in his body.

However, mana did not flow normally.

It felt like the blood was twisted and twisted, and the mana seemed to flow backwards.

"I was poisoned. Even Master, it will be difficult to manage mana properly for a while."

"Ugh ."

"Even if you don't die, you will be reduced to the level of a normal human for about an hour."

"Wow, why did you betray me?"

"I just felt skeptical."

Diablo felt a cold sweat and sat down slowly.

Azel looked down at such a teacher and said:

"The skepticism of when this terrible war will end."

"Azel ."

"If a war ends only when one side loses, I thought about which side should win to make more people happy."

"Azel ! Think again! 12 Do not be deceived by God's cowardice!"

"You are also a teacher. How can you speak even when you have suffered such extreme poisoning? If it were me, I would have already lost consciousness. You are the most dangerous."

"Diablo!!"

At that time, a thick stream of water pushed Azel away with great water pressure.

"Great!!"

Azel, too, could not respond to the sudden attack and flew away.

The woman who landed next to Diablo, Jane, supported him and lifted him up.

what's the matter? Why did Azel tell you... ."

"It's already too late!!"

Azel shouted.

He laughed like a madman and pointed his finger at the sky.

"It's already done."

At those words, when Jane and Diablo looked up at the sky, a large-scale wide-area magic circle was completed.

" All the other children."

I hope the disciples will betray themselves.

Diablo had a face that looked like it was about to collapse at any moment.

How to deal with this situation?

At this point, I even thought that I might have been wrong.

If we had just obediently crawled to the 12 gods, wouldn't the disciples have betrayed us like this?

What is war for?

"Diablo!"

As Diablo collapsed like a man trying to give up everything, Jane grabbed him by the neck.

I'm going to kill all my other comrades! It is heartbreaking that the disciples betrayed us, but remember that there are still others!"

The moment he heard those words, Diablo's eyes widened.

As she said, the disciples were not the only ones who believed in him and came here.

The colleagues who left their backs are now fighting over there.

And they will think that the super-magical circles created in the sky are theirs.

"You have to save everyone."

When the super magic circle falls on the friendly camp, the war becomes irreversible.

me To my colleagues... !"

Diablo pulled out the dagger stuck in his stomach and stood up with difficulty.

"It's not like that. You must die here!"

Azel is a genius wizard who absorbed most of Diablo Volfir.

"Do not forgive me, Master!"

"Azel, you naughty bastard!"

Jane summoned the Water Spirit King to stop him directly.

Even Azel, who reached the supreme state, was not able to compete with the fully embodied Water Spirit King.

But Azel only laughs.

"Extreme Holy Magic!"

That moment.

The 12 gods appeared behind Azel.

Sensing that something went wrong, Jane drew out the power of the Spirit King as much as possible to create a shield, and at the same time hugged Diablo Volfir.

"You must survive."

Jane was an elementalist, but she was also a wizard who had reached a certain level.

So Diablo knew what she was going to do.

No!

"Diablo! Never forget me."

Saying that, Jane smiled brightly.

Diablo was teleported very far away by her.

The super magic circle that started from the sky swept the camp where the allies were.

"I can't do it darling darling!!!"

The surviving Diablo screamed, but the aftermath of the Super Magic Circle swept away even where he was.

The Fourth War ended with an overwhelming defeat for the Diablo camp.

" ."

Jamie looked at the black-haired man with gloomy eyes spread out in an unknown place.

A man of misfortune who lost everything he had worked so hard to build up in an instant.

Diablo Volfir.

It was even pity that he couldn't come to his senses even though he was wet in the pouring rain.

But Jamie didn't feel sorry for him.

"You bastard. nerd bastard."

It's all his fault.

If I had given my disciples more faith, if I had thought more carefully about the schemes of the 12 gods.

Because of the burden of being the leader of the resistance, I followed only what was in front of me, which resulted in this result.

If I had put down my impatience, this terrible result would not have happened.

" I.

Diablo staggers and tries to get up somehow.

His hair and robes soaked in rainwater are droopy as if expressing his feelings.

From the hole in the stomach, the blood flows down the hem of the pants to see if it doesn't stop.

"Cool!"

He got up somehow, but he fell down again as the strength in his legs had loosened.

However, I tried to get up somehow, but it didn't work, so I fell over several times.

I scream when I can't get any strength in my legs.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!"

A true voice in tears.

why! Why?!"

The man who lost everything lost his reason and tried to run wild, but his physical condition did not allow him to even do it.

"Damn it! damn it!! Azel! Azel!!!"

There's nothing I can do but cry.

Poor Diablo Volfir.

"I am desperate. I am desperate."

He looks straight into Jamie's face and says.

"I want to kill you. everything that made me this way. Those who betrayed me, the humans who follow the 12 gods, and the 12 gods who try to control them all!"

The surrounding space is dyed black like black mud.

There were only Jamie and Diablo facing each other.

"Let's hate it, together. Let's join forces. Let's give up everything and go on only to destroy the 12 gods.

Diablo Volfir sheds tears of blood.

The skin on the face disappears, leaving only the skeleton.

Bone hands extended forward.

let's go. into the abyss. Rather, let's become the devil, forsake our humanity, and use only violence."

pouring out black smoke.

"If you and I are put together, the humiliation of the past, the insult, the disgrace."

"If it's the other half of me, wouldn't it be embarrassing? you understand Do you agree?"

and hope

to sympathize with yourself.

"At the completion, the opportunity came to surpass the twelve gods."

seductive voice.

It feels like a sticky bad feeling wet your whole body.

Suddenly, blood began to trickle down the space where they were standing.

"Take hold of my hand."

bare bones.

If you catch it, you will acquire a power that you have never experienced before.

"It can be something beyond God."

You can end the never-ending revenge.

Jamie quietly looked down at Diablo's hand.

When did you become so skinny?

It must have been that strong.

He must have felt a great sense of guilt that he was in this situation because he acted like a fool and was not able to transgress.

All that stress must have been traumatic.

Come to think of it, have you ever eaten anything properly since that day?

He only chewed on his regrets, and he always supplemented with minimal nutrients until he was reincarnated.

If you look closely, the bones must have been dry enough to touch them.

"Maybe it wasn't much different from this bone."

"Catch it."

"I suffered a lot. Even though I'm only half of it, I can tell because I still have memories.

"Catch it."

"I was obsessed with the fact that everything was my fault, and I was obsessed with power."

"Catch it."

"So it's more like an asshole."

"Catch it."

"It's just my fault. In fact, it was all my fault."

"Catch it."

"I didn't want to make any more mistakes, so I did something like an asshole who put everything down."

"Catch it."

"If only I had thought a little more broadly."

"Catch it."

I wouldn't have made that mistake.

"Catch it."

"Yeah, I'll catch you."

Jamie grabbed Diablo's bare bones like a handshake.

Diablo shouts like it's fun.

Ha ha ha ha ha! Now we are done... !"

by the way.

test.

If only I could go back to that day.

what will i choose

The answer has been decided for a long time.

"I no longer have any regrets about the past."

A dazzling light emanates from the depths of my heart.

The light grew bigger and bigger and wrapped around Diablo.

"Because I overcame it. I know now that I am not alone."

you ."

Jamie hopes

May your past self be saved.

So he held my hand.

"I have a lot on my side now. So, don't make the same mistakes you used to make."

"You will regret it."

Diablo says, dripping through the muddy darkness.

Jamie nodded.

"Maybe. still.

The starlight was dark and completely filled the bloody space.

Particles of faint light floated over Jamie's head and began to clump together.

It spread its beautiful pure white wings and began to form a small beast with soft fur.

An animal with a single horn on its forehead makes a beautiful cry.

Hearing this, Jamie opened her mouth.

Trust me.

Diablo does not respond verbally.

He slowly let go of his hand, becoming dark and seeping into the light.

That was enough to answer.

black. No, now."

Jamie smiled as he felt the energy of Diablo flowing in.

"Should I call you White?"

Kyut-!

White, who opened her eyes with a new look, let out a pleasant cry.

With him, Gaia's voice was heard.

-All the condensed time will return to you. The shifted time axis will return to its original state. One who has passed the ordeal.

An old door appeared before Jamie's eyes.

- Move forward. And fulfill the contract.

iced coffee.

Jamie grabbed the doorknob and turned it without thinking.

Various lights began to leak through the crack in the open door.

Accepting them whole, Jamie went out.

"Don't worry, I'm waiting for you."

and the magic world.

Three months had passed.
