Chapter 503
I didn’t look at them funny.
You can’t look at it funny, can you?
I didn’t think it was possible for me to endure the encroachment of the ghosts that even Olivia couldn’t bear.
I was well aware that this was for nothing.
However, there were no options.
I had to do something about the colony of ghosts that would become an uncontrollable problem if it became so huge.
Since he controlled Olivia, those ghosts should be able to rule anyone.
Fort Mokna will be razed to the ground, and Lyana, as hated as I am, will die.
So, I imprison that colony of ghosts within me.
No one else, I have to hold on.
It must be hate towards me, so I must endure it.
No other options came to mind.
As the waves of vengeful spirits engulfed me, I felt a strange sensation.
The feeling that the soul is being attacked.
I wonder if Olivia felt this way too.
If consciousness is like the moon floating in the night sky.
And if the self is the world illuminated by the moonlight of the name of consciousness.
The strange sensation that the moon, which is called consciousness, suddenly moves too far away and fades away like the starlight in the night sky.
Starlight cannot illuminate the world.
So, the moonlight that has gone far away can’t illuminate the world.
I felt a distant sensation as if my ego was engulfed in darkness and disappearing.
They entered my soul and mind, and I could feel their anger and hatred in my soul, not my skin.
It was unknown who these enormous ghosts were.
However, cruel and hopeless images passing wildly pollute my mind.
Mental nausea, or vomiting.
A terrifying sensation like that creeps up over my soul, pulling me into the abyss.
If it sinks, it’s over.
Not to be dominated, but to be imprisoned.
can’t fall
In the distant and dark senses where consciousness fades away and the ego enveloped in darkness sinks.
I think.
The victims hate me and can hate me.
Because they have nothing to do with everything I’ve been through, they’re just victims of everything that stems from me.
they hate me
hate it
Angry.
You have the right to destroy.
however.
I have no intention of giving myself up to them.
I intend to endure
I plan to keep their hatred, anger, and vengeance locked inside me, so that they won’t attract any other ghosts anymore.
You said you had the right to destroy, but you didn’t accept that you could destroy me.
Their sacrifices are pitiful, pitiful, and I feel guilty.
I’m sorry.
can’t die
At Regaira, I became a master class.
but.
What I Learned from Lizaira.
What I learned from Luna and Ronan, and from Lena and Arta.
It wasn’t about using a sword, it was about using your heart.
power to control the mind.
Strictly speaking, the fact that it became a master class is only a derivative result because it reached the extreme.
The world of spirit, soul, and mind.
I have mastered how to deal with it.
Consciousness drifted away like a star.
The ego was enveloped in darkness.
where.
Did a star die easily?
Even though it is difficult to reveal something about the light of distant stars, it cannot be said that it is not light.
Even if it is a weak light that is about to go out, if it is the light of my consciousness.
it will be immortal
Even if you can’t reveal your ego with that starlight, it doesn’t disappear, just being trapped in darkness.
I know nothing of the mysteries used by Luna Artorius.
She can’t deal with the power as an incarnation that she showed in this world at all.
but spirit.
and soul.
It is the world of the mind,
In my heart, only I am God.
In the name of autosuggestion, I have always reigned as the god of my will and mind.
My consciousness and ego were gradually fading away as the ghosts flooding into my mind tried to destroy and destroy my spirit.
But that starlight.
The power that Luna used to do.
Luna enlarged the existing moon and pulled out the mysterious moon sword.
It’s not the same way.
With the sense of reaching out to the distant starlight.
with the feeling of pulling it.
By pulling the distant consciousness.
To shine like the sun, not moonlight.
Against the ceremonial night that the dark spirits that are trying to devour my ego are dragging along.
I will hold out.
will endure
While trapping the ghosts who tried to eat me inside of me.
“It eats me… … .”
while living inside of me.
“Did you think it would be easy… … ?”
I will return to the world of reason and substance.
Eventually, when I raised my senses from the bottom of the world of consciousness to reality.
“… … ?”
I was lying on the bed in Olivia’s arms, not in Fort Mokna, but in my bedroom in the royal palace of Razak.
“line… … . Reinhardt?”
Olivia’s eyes widened as she saw me open them.
“Why am I here… … ?”
“Hey, you woke up! Hey, woke up! You woke up!”
Tears welled up in Olivia’s eyes, and she hugged me even tighter.
Apparently I was on the outskirts of Fort Mokna a little while ago.
Why the hell are you here?
I thought it was a long, long time, but when I left Lizaira, it seemed like it was a fleeting moment.
I thought it was a fleeting moment, but it seemed like a lot of time had passed.
“Huh, huh… … Ra, Reinhardt. Nana… … . I was scared. I feel like you can’t wake up I’m afraid I won’t wake up… … . Ugh, uhhhh!”
Olivia was crying sadly and hugging me.
How many days have passed?
how did the situation go?
I couldn’t tell. I tightly hugged Olivia, who was sobbing as she hugged me.
There is no strength in the whole body.
Have you lost your strength?
“My sister… … . are you okay… … ?”
At my question, Olivia tears down and twists her lips.
“now… … . Is it time for you to worry about me?!”
Olivia sobbed even louder, as if she was upset that the words to wake up even in this situation were those words.
“for a moment… … . wait for a sec… … .”
“Yes. Do you need anything?”
I pull Olivia out of my arms and go down the bed.
No, I was going down.
but.
“Ugh… … .”
I couldn’t even keep my balance because of the pain in my head.
“Reinhardt! are you okay?”
“uh… … . huh… … .”
I was able to keep my ego.
Obviously it can.
“No. you’re not okay… … . Look at yourself.”
Olivia sobbed and supported me, and led me in front of the mirror.
“… … .”
Looking in the mirror, I could see that my hair was graying.
Although I succeeded in trapping numerous ghosts inside me.
It was obviously affecting my mind and body.
* * *
After the fight between Olivia Ranche and the Demon King, who were dominated by huge ghosts in Fort Mokna.
After accepting all the huge ghosts into his body, the demon king was unconscious for a week.
Olivia Ranze, who regained her self, also had to pick herself up, but she continued to stick by the demon king and take care of the unconscious demon king.
Everyone in the royal family as well as the Senate visited the demon king when he heard that he had regained consciousness.
The demon king, whose hair had turned white, looked haggard.
It’s not just lack of energy.
It is impossible for an ordinary being to live with the aggregate of the will to kill oneself locked up in the soul.
Even if it is an unusual existence, there is no way you can easily handle it.
As if dying in real time but holding on to it with mental strength.
In order to prepare for the one-in-a-lifetime situation, Olivia Ranze, the head of the Holy Church, continued to stand by the Demon King even after he regained consciousness.
* * *
The Demon King was clearly conscious. But everyone couldn’t help but know that the condition was getting more and more serious.
“Wook… … . Whoops!”
“Reinhardt… … . are you okay?”
Olivia bit her lip, watching Reinhardt sit down in the hallway of the castle wall and vomit.
“are you okay… … . Fine… … .”
Reinhardt, who kept repeating that he was okay, was not looking good at all.
The whitened head was restored to its original state thanks to Dreadfiend’s ring, but the demon king suffered from high fever, headache, and nausea.
Just as the mind affects the body, the soul affects the body.
Olivia helped Reinhardt, who staggered up after gagging.
The spirits trapped in Reinhardt’s mind were not removed by divine power. That’s why it didn’t affect the outside world, but it was directly affecting Reinhardt.
Olivia was able to heal her hands and feet, which had been corrupted and rotted during the battle.
Olivia was able to heal the demon king’s energy decline with divine power.
However, internal problems were an area that Olivia could not touch.
However, the ghosts planted in the demon king’s soul could not be purified or healed.
* * *
The Demon King was having a hard time not only in the overall state affairs, but even in his daily life, so he was living in seclusion in the Razak Castle, receiving the care of the head of the Holy Church.
And the fact that the demon king was gradually getting weaker was kept in top secret.
In the first place, there was no problem with Edina because the regent Charlotte was in charge of all state affairs in Edina.
However, the atmosphere of Edina and the high-ranking people who knew that the demon king was weakening was overflowing with melancholy.
Naturally, Fort Mockna operations were suspended. It was not known if the threat in the area had completely disappeared, so a massive withdrawal was under way.
Responsibility for all of this rested primarily with Commander Riana de Granz.
“… … .”
Reinhardt, who seemed to have a hard time even sitting in a chair, was sitting in his bedroom supported by Olivia, looking down at someone.
Liana de Granz.
The commander of Fort Mokna was kneeling in front of the Demon King, with his head bowed.
He is proud, and no matter how much the demon king is his lord, it is only a formality. That’s why Liana de Granz, who had never done anything like this before, knelt in front of her demon lord and bowed her head.
“entire… … . It’s my fault.”
Reinhardt was looking down at Liana like that.
The massacre caused by Liana was the beginning of this disaster.
The first price was paid by Olivia Ranze.
And in order to save such Olivia Ranze, the demon king made the choice to trap those huge ghosts in his soul.
The demon king’s soul belonged to the demon king right now, but that soul was gradually dying.
Liana couldn’t even take responsibility for everything she had done.
Others had to pay the price for their sins.
because i can’t stand it
because it hurts
“If you tell me to die, I will die.”
Liana had no choice but to say that to her friend who paid the price on her behalf.
Olivia watched the scene in silence.
Reinhardt looks down at Liana, who says that if she has to pay the price with death, she will.
“You didn’t know that this would happen.”
“… … .”
“Of course you wouldn’t have known that it was a sin, but you certainly wouldn’t have known that this was going to happen. clearly.”
Reinhardt’s cracked voice, which was completely different from usual, put Olivia and Riana in a terrible mood just by listening to it.
“If something unpredictable or unintended happens because of your actions and other people have to pay the price, and you have to die… … .”
Reinhardt struggled to open his mouth.
“Then, shouldn’t I die too…?” … .”
“… … .”
Strictly speaking, what Reinhardt did and what Liana did were qualitatively different.
But if you think about the outcome, it seems that something unintended happened and that others had to pay for it.
Reinhardt’s wish eventually led to unintended consequences and caused a gate crisis.
Lyana’s actions to protect Edina and Reinhardt have unintended consequences, and Reinhardt is dying.
In the end, it’s the same thing, so if Riana should be punished like the death penalty in return for this, then the same punishment should be given to Reinhardt, the Demon King.
Reinhardt watched as the tears rolled down Liana’s cheeks as she bowed her head, and rolled down her chin and landed on the floor.
There is nothing you can do about the problems caused by your actions.
Reinhardt knew the misery of him better than anyone else.
“We talked about this a long time ago… … .”
“… … .”
“Live, let’s do something.”
Liana’s shoulders start to tremble at Reinhardt’s words.
The demon king’s present appearance was that his throat was cracked and made a metal sound, suffered from high fever, and that it would not be strange if he died at any time.
Reinhardt is taking on the unbearable.
everyone knew that
Even Reinhardt himself didn’t know that.
* * *
In the end, it may be necessary to punish the devil for causing a big problem to the devil due to what he did not order.
But you can’t get anything with your life.
Liana de Granz was a very important person in Edina to kill under the name of a worker bee.
Riana de Granz went unpunished.
The weakened Reinhardt was cared for by Olivia, but of course others came.
“You are crazy.”
The head of demand, Lucinil, said that to Reinhardt.
“There was no other way.”
It was too huge to be destroyed with divine power, and it was growing in real time. However, there was no solution other than to endure them in the prison of the soul.
“This is not called a method. Do you think this is possible in the first place?”
Lucinil got angry in front of the Demon King.
“Possibly… … . It has to be possible.”
The demon king with a weak and haggard expression said so.
“It wasn’t possible. I am just holding on.”
“… … .”
“You haven’t forgotten about Charlotte, have you?”
Reinhardt was silent at Lucinil’s words.
Charlotte’s soul finally became one with the Demon King.
The demon king’s consciousness had disappeared, so the personalities were not mixed, but it was difficult to count the number of consciousnesses that had now entered Reinhardt’s mind.
“In the long run, your soul will blend and become one with the souls within you.”
Reinhardt didn’t show any expression at those words, but Olivia’s complexion turned white.
“Well, then… … . How will it go?”
“I’ve never done an experiment on such a large scale, so I don’t know the details. However, the ego will disappear and you will become a completely different being.”
It is only now that it maintains its consciousness, but when it gradually begins to assimilate with them, the existence of Reinhardt disappears like a handful of sand scattered in the desert.
They don’t die, they become completely different beings.
At those words, Olivia’s complexion went beyond whitening and began to turn blue.
Lucinil is the wizard who has handled the most souls in the world.
That’s why I’ve been experimenting with it several times.
If Lucille says yes, then so be it.
Hearing Lucinil’s warning, Reinhardt only looked tired, but didn’t say anything.
