Chapter 390
Among the Witches of Disaster, none of them chose the life of a witch from the beginning. Although born as a human, a witch is only born when she experiences transcendence.
The odds are one in a billion.
No, maybe it was an even worse chance. Instead, the witch enjoys a near-eternal life, peeps into the Akashic Records, the records of the beginning, and gains knowledge that humans dare not reach.
Thanks to this, Louis came into contact with the season of winter, Laplace came in touch with death, and Morgan came in touch with the world of the unconscious.
Transcendence is like that.
It was a forbidden territory that ordinary humans could never invade.
“Why again… is someone like you standing proudly in front of you? Why don’t you give up and get frustrated?”
Through repeated dreams, Shin Ha-yoon saw numbers in hundreds and thousands and saw answers in tens. Gained the truth through Morgan’s power.
However, there was no future in which he was defeated by Shin Yoo-seong in the many simulations among the many variables.
“To the common human subject! Among them, a defective product with F-class characteristics-!”
Shin Ha-yoon no longer thought of the back. I scattered the glass hearts on the altar to distract and lure Gaon’s party.
It was right for Shin Ha-yoon to fight with the mana he had in mind.
However, Shin Ha-yoon created a purple magic circle again.
“…I’ll make you forget everything this time. Your name and appearance will not be perfect, so your friends will never find you.”
bang-!
Humans store memories in the brain.
A dream is a phenomenon that occurs when the brain processes the memory.
Then, what would happen if meaningless memories were overlaid instead of real memories to be sorted out through the phenomenon?
And what would happen if the amount was vast, several hundred to several thousand times the original?
Perhaps that person will forget the place he was born in, the world he lived in, and all his precious people.
Or perhaps even worse, you will forget how to speak or how to think.
Light of Oblivion
The light Morgan created was the light of Hell. A hell that walks on the living with the name of oblivion scarier than death.
Anger-!
A purple light hit Shin Yooseong.
However, Shin Yooseong just stared at him with a nonchalant expression and did not exert any mana or counterattack.
“It’s over now. …I won. yes?”
If I was really sure of victory, I wouldn’t have asked this question. As usual, he must have shown a relaxed and aloof defenseless backside.
However, in the eyes of Shin Ha-yoon, who tilted his head, there was fear for Shin Yoo-seong.
If it didn’t work this time, I was asking myself what to do next.
“…Those eyes. Those are the eyes of someone who has already been defeated. Just like me back then.”
Sure enough, Shin Yoo-seong did not forget himself. He talked about old memories casually.
“Why…”
Unlike the past, it was Shin Ha-yoon who despaired this time. Let’s not forget Shin Ha-yoon’s words anymore, denying reality.
“Shin Yuseong has already embraced all of his own painful memories. So it is no longer fragmented, no more oblivion.”
Laplace, who split the space and appeared, spoke to Shin Ha-yoon.
“…Let’s go back. Morgan.”
Morgan. Laplace called Shin Ha-yoon in despair by the name of Morgan. He looked at him with compassionate eyes, as if he were looking at his frustrated younger brother, and told him to give up now.
“Don’t you already know? That this opportunity is also your defeat.”
“Shut up… I, who has the memories of a witch, was finally… defeated by a human or something?”
“Didn’t I tell you? Witches can’t beat humans. As a loner, you don’t know.”
Shin Ha-yoon shouted at Laplace.
“At most you preach a boastful sermon…”
“False. That’s not wrong. But… I don’t hate the word fake.”
Recalling someone’s face, Laplace slightly raised the corners of his mouth and gave a pleasant smile.
Laplace conceded. Maybe it’s because I’ve been interacting with Sumire for too long.
“A bond is an emotion that only humans can have…. As a witch, the fact that I understand human emotions is proof that I have resembled Sumire before I knew it.”
The moment Sumire obtained the fragment, she was no longer Laplace, the Plague Witch. It was the ‘something’ placed between Laplace and Sumire.
“okay. So, as a witch, I must be able to make this choice.”
It was a very fun entertainment.
In the land of Sumire’s heart, he built a castle and lived a peaceful life. Sometimes I watched and cheered on Sumire, and I learned what makes humans human.
Kwaak-!
Laplace turned his hand into a spirit body and stabbed it into his left chest. Then he took something out of the place where the heart was.
“Stop that! What are you going to do?”
What Laplace took out of his chest was a heart-like piece of red glass.
“Of course, I thought it would be a gloomy color because it resembles me. It’s red. Just like a human…”
Laplace smiled contentedly.
“Sumire-!”
No, not just laughing, Laplace shouted out loud with a very happy face.
“Please cherish the emotions you can feel because you are human! Caring for others with your warm heart. Win it somehow with your ardent love!”
Laplace, the witch, gave advice to Sumire, who resembled herself as a single mother.
“Human time is short, so please be honest! You can laugh if you are happy and cry if you are sad. Human life is precious because it cannot be perfect.”
Plague witch Laplace too.
That being, not even Sumire, finished with those words and proudly held out the glasswork he had taken out of his heart. The beautiful crimson glass began to pull mana from Shin Ha-yoon’s body like a black hole.
“profit! If you do this, you too! I wouldn’t be whole! why!”
As Shin Ha-yoon said, Laplace’s body gradually began to fade and be absorbed into the glass.
“Yeah… I’m already satisfied. There is no more time left.”
The red mana of the velvet flowed out, and Morgan’s Aurora, who had lost fuel, lost its light. Laplace sealed Velvet’s mana in his heart in place of Dragon Heart.
“So even if the cost is true extinction… I can laugh happily.”
Laplace’s body blurred.
The heart that absorbed mana became more red.
‘It’s really over.’
Even though his existence was blurred, Laplace did not go against the power and closed his eyes peacefully.
What memories do you have to organize in the life you got as a bonus anyway?
The only regret was that I couldn’t see Sumire’s face.
‘It’s goodbye now. It’s my child.’
waves crash
The sound passes.
[…Thank you as always. Mr. Laplace.]
A story I heard one day suddenly popped into my head.
[- Suddenly, what did that mean? You are a being with my convenience. It’s natural to be careful.]
The question of the day also comes to mind.
[Sometimes I get curious. Why was Laplace-nim called the Witch of Plague?]
A good child different from herself.
[ah! I absolutely do not want to blame Laplace-sama! It’s just… that’s what I thought…]
So different, but actually a very similar child.
[The reason Laplace and I had a high assimilation rate… Couldn’t there be another reason? [- …for example?]
Laplace sighed as he recalled the conversation that day, to which he answered firmly
.
[I also hurt someone because of my ability… but that wasn’t the result I wanted. So I wonder if Laplace-sama might actually have a misunderstanding…]
[- No, there’s no such thing. …I spread the plague with my will.]
If only I had known it would turn out like this.
If only I had known we would be saying goodbye so suddenly.
[-So even if that moment comes again. I’m sure he intends to make the same choice.]
‘It wouldn’t have been bad to tell my story once in a while.’
The glass in your hand becomes heavy.
Gradually, the memory creaked.
‘If…if I tell you my story, what should I do?’
okay. If you say it seriously, the child will burst into tears, so let’s tell it like a fairy tale.
“…Shin Yuseong.”
Laplace staggered. What Laplace used to create the heart wasn’t just mana, but her power as a witch.
So, when he closed his eyes, he couldn’t even imagine how miserable he would be.
‘Because it’s almost too much to lift this light glass.’
So, Laplace stretched out his hand toward Shin Yuseong. Then, he handed over his heart containing Velvet’s mana.
“This is a gift for you. Sumire… Please take good care of me.”
Laplace then took a hard breath and raised mana. The purple bird Laplace created turned into a children’s book.
“And this. It is a present for Sumire. Whoa, I hope you enjoy reading it with Velvet…”
Saa-
Laplace turned to sand and disappeared without even leaving a last word. All that is left of Shin Yoo-seong is a children’s book and a glass containing Velvet’s mana.
“why-! A human being who is not me! As a witch!”
Shin Ha-yoon, who lost the mana in his body, was desperate to scream.
“Only because of trash like you-!”
After all, what Shin Ha-yoon relied on, unable to use Morgan’s power, was telekinesis.
Quaang!
An intangible telekinesis struck Shin Yooseong. It was a tremendous force that would crush even buildings, but it was meaningless.
Shin Yuseong cut off the basis of the power of telekinesis through mana resonance. Telekinesis is a formless power, but mana, which forms the basis, of course existed.
“stop. I already see it.”
Shin Yooseong could see that mana. The meaningless characteristic, which is only an F grade called ‘strengthening concentration’, eventually awakened Shin Yoo-seong’s super senses.
Shin Yoo-seong could see the flow. wave was seen.
And I was able to cut off that flow and wave. Shin Ha-yoon’s S-class characteristic, telekinesis, was a match that could never be defeated.
“Oh, how can it all not work! Why! A rogue like you has such power!”
Shin Ha-yoon shouted for a hoarse voice, but nothing changed. Shin Yoo-seong slowly approached Shin Ha-yoon, twisting the telekinesis that was aimed at him.
Shin Ha-yoon, who always reigned over the heads of others, cursed Shin Yoo-seong with a voice full of despair, even breaking into a cold sweat.
The older sister he feared was such a weak being if he did not have the power to understand everything in the world with only the logic of power.
“Death, die! Die-!”
It looked like a child in a herd. He didn’t need strength to deal with Shin Ha-yoon, who had already collapsed.
Talk-
Shin Yoo-seong touched Shin Ha-yoon’s forehead with an insensitive expression. The mana that was injected into Shin Ha-yoon in the previous action would seep into his body through his skin.
And the heterogeneous mana would simply block the flow of mana that originally filled the body.
“Ah…”
Shin Ha-yoon, who reached out to Shin Yoo-seong at random, realized that mana was no longer being exerted from his body. These are the words of a hunter who relies only on mana and attributes.
“I am me…”
Of course, since she has the witch’s knowledge, if she had the time, she might be able to take out Shin Yoo-seong’s mana that has permeated her body, but Shin Ha-yoon just muttered like a broken toy.
“Why…”
“…because Nuna is always alone and doesn’t trust anyone.”
The miserable defeat of Shin Ha-yoon, who was the most feared existence to Shin Yoo-seong. The moment when the end of a long, long bad relationship came to an end.
Fuck!
Accelerating and accelerating repeatedly, the speedy sword that even Shin Yoo-seong couldn’t react to pierced Shin Ha-yoon’s body.
“Heo-eok-!”
It literally went through.
