As Ian was about to frown, he finally realized that he could not move.

Oh crap, this again.

If it had been a game, it would have been just an event scene.

But now that it has become reality, he could not accept it comfortably at all.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Especially after his mind had almost collapsed in an unguarded state.

How can it ignore my resistance and take over my consciousness? Is it that strong?

It was then that the darkness began to surge like waves.

Ians thoughts came to an abrupt halt.

It felt like something was watching him from beyond the darkness.

That gaze he had been sensing intermittently for some time now.

There you are.

With that in mind, Ian glared at the surging darkness.

-Come.

An echoing whisper spread.

A bizarre voice that sounded like a mix of a young girls voice and an old womans hoarse voice.

-Come to me O chosen one.

Following the whispers, Ian was saddened once again by the fact that he could not react at all.

Because he wanted to snort with derision.

The chosen one? It was such a clichd line.

-Immortality awaits you.

Moreover, immortality?

Rather than temptation, it felt more like desperate seduction.

Ian glared into the darkness with annoyance.

So where do I have to go?

Just reveal your identity, and Ill find my way to you on my own

I saidcome.

? Was that a voice just now?

So you felt something too, huh?

Ian blinked his eyes.

It looked like something.

I have no idea. I just got creepy vibes. It looked like something lurking around Ian, then Ian unleashed his magical power Thats just my intuition. I dont know how else to explain it. Lucis explanation sounded almost inarticulate.

She seemed unable to properly express what she had felt.

And that made it sound even more like a mages rhetoric.

She seems to have opened her eyes to somethingthough.

With that thought, Ian opened his mouth. I saw an apparition.

An apparition?

I dont know its identity, but it was probably a lingering spirit of someone from ancient times, or something like that. It called me over. Its what people commonly refer to as a whisper of darkness.

! Ive read about it in books before. They say mages leave their consciousness vulnerable, so they get exposed to the temptation of darkness and madness more frequently.

Just what kind of books have you been reading?

The ones from Uncle Vernons study. At some point he started collecting books related to magic and mysticism. Not sure if hes read them all though.

I see.

After realizing that darkness had fallen on the kingdom, Vernon had conducted his own investigation in his own way.

Seeing that he had also gathered information related to Luci, it seemed Vernon had a more meticulous personality than Ian had thought.

Well. If youre stuck between your sister whos a sacred knight and your cousin whos blessed by God, youd have no choice but to try desperately in some way.

Even Vernon himself probably didnt know his efforts would pay off like this.

Anyway, its not completely wrong. Crossing lines that shouldnt be crossed and going beyond limits to gain more power and knowledge is just how mages are.

Is it the same for you too, Sir Ian?

As much I dont want to admit it, to some extent, yes.

Ian shrugged his shoulders and added. Its just that Im not stupid enough to sell my soul to a devil or the void.

Having experienced it annoyingly often through the game, he knew well what path such people took.

Will I also face such temptation?

You will. The greater your talents, the greater the temptations youll feel.
