Chapter 386. The King and the Warlock (9)
“Think about it, Ernesia. What is the source of human tragedy? Why can’t humans develop?
Haven’t you ever thought about it?”
“???? Something like that??????
Probably any king would worry about it.
But it’s just an abstract question with no answer.
But Louis Reina’s eyes flashed as if she knew the answer.
For the first time, she smiled with strange joy.
“It is death.”
“death?”
“yes. It is because of death that human will comes to an empty end and tragedy occurs.”
She insisted without hesitation.
“I saw a lot of tragedies 500 years ago. That’s why I’m sure. Without death, humanity can develop further. You can truly be saved.”
“So you’re saying you did this?
for what! Do you think life is a joke!
“The town is an experiment. I applied my esoterics without them knowing, but I still lacked a lot. Don’t worry, I made up for my shortcomings.”
“There is nothing to worry about,” she said in a kind voice as if addressing a child.
“The longing that I have poured my whole life into…
I have completed the [Book of Eternity] with this.”
As she said that, what she took out of the air were two magic books.
“. A wish?”
Reichen murmured in a slightly weak, cracked voice.
If it was a secret wish, she had told him many times over the years.
Something she had been trying to complete even in seclusion.
Are those two grimoires?
In one of the two magic books, a demonic energy that is thick enough to give goosebumps even to him is pouring out.
And in another book…..
“Mana?”
It was detected that pure, natural mana was flowing, not magic.
As a warlock, she uses mana?
As if reading his question, she shook her head.
“Even warlocks can’t use mana. It’s just that I’m not used to it, so the efficiency is low. Of course, making it wasn’t easy. It wasn’t what I wanted, but I had to use the body of one of my former friends as material.”
She murmured a bit bitterly.
“In order to complete my secret wish, I need to master everything about magic and mana. Magicians deny it, but magi are also part of nature.”
If mana means pure nature, magi means its dark side.
“Using harmony, we destroy the harmony between life and death. Well, it’s not really that simple. There’s no point in discussing these things in detail with you, who aren’t even wizards, right?”
“To destroy life and death…
Only then did Raychen recall the magic she used to save the people of the territory many years ago.
No way… from that…..
“Is that also what you wanted? Wasn’t it just black magic?”
“It can’t be ordinary black magic, can it?”
She glanced at it in a pitiful way, and opened one of the two magic books on the palm of her hand.
Then, hundreds of complex magic circles spread over her head.
All of this is the magic formula contained in this one book of sorcery.
“Of course, it is not an ordinary magic book. This itself is an artifact. Everything to create the world I dreamed of.”
“A dreaming world… What on earth do you want to do? Raising the dead like that and keeping the living from dying… is that what you want?”
“Yes, that is it.”
She admitted it at once, as if there was nothing to say twice.
“The secret wish to bring the dead back to life and to keep the living from dying… When that happens, humans will no longer suffer.”
“It can’t be…
” “Ernesia, you don’t know anything.”
Louis Reyna coldly looked at him with eyes stained with despair and resignation.
“No, some of you would understand. How big of a wall is the life span of a human being. How many people are suffering in itself.”
She puts her hand on her chest.
“I’ve seen it countless times over the past 500 years. Disease, famine, war….
Human beings are dying by all sorts of filthy means. And the monster that appeared 500 years ago… Humans are so weak. Because it is weak, it does not develop at all even after spending a long time. Why?”
“I thought. And I came to a conclusion.”
She put on a faint smile as she spoke of the absurd conclusion.
“Because man dies someday;’ an absurd conclusion.
Even if the person here was someone other than Reichen, you would understand that her logic was off somewhere.
“That is a far-fetched idea…
” “Is that so? There are many cases where great people die without fulfilling their will because of their longevity. As a result, there were times when civilizations that showed the possibility of development collapsed as they were. Because of death, there are cases in which the talents who will lead great development in the future disappear before they bloom.”
It’s not just madness.
Her gaze, which appeals to the legitimacy of her thoughts now, is extremely calm, but the tone of her voice is intellectual.
She is very different from usual.
However, Raychen felt an incomparable sense of heterogeneity.
I even felt a headache in that gap.
“So you’re saying that you’ve concocted this?”
“Yes, when there is nothing more to lose, humans will no longer suffer.”
The way she said and smiled was more like a saint dedicated to the world than a villain dreaming of evil ambitions.
However, Raychen was rather afraid of her.
‘….It is my mistake.’
she said.
From the beginning, it had such an absurd meaning.
What that means is that she is neither bewitched nor deviated from anything.
This is the true form of Rui Reina that Reichen first learned about.
It’s just that his own eyes that didn’t notice it were dark.
I had only misunderstood a little while ago, but I was hoping that if we talked about it, we would be able to solve it.
I felt so stupid.
‘I must not defend her…
Had he noticed sooner, he would surely have devised a means to stop her will.
Reichen gritted her teeth and grabbed her sword.
Seeing that, Louis Reyna just stared at it indifferently.
“Don’t you understand?”
“Of course. How can you admit such a dreadful thing?”
“It’s scary… it’s not. Rather, it is liberation.”
“What is liberation? It just turns humans into dead people who can neither die nor live!”
He, too, can understand the tragedy of death.
He, too, has lost a lot of people so far.
It is the same now.
Out there right now, countless young people are making sacrifices to stop the warlocks.
Still, he can’t agree with her argument.
Above all else, don’t admit it. There is a desperate reason to stop her.
the moment she made up her mind. Because it comes back as a great tragedy for him.
“Luirayna, you are thinking about something wrong! What the hell is going on with even the providence?”
“There must be salvation.”
she never wavers
Rather, he was just complaining as if he was sorry.
“I’m sorry, Ernesia. You said you understood.”
“I can’t understand this.”
He shook his head resolutely and raised his sword.
As you can see, it was not a situation that could be stopped by persuasion.
‘…I don’t think I’ll beat her with my skills.’
The limit of Auror users.
Even he, who had reached the level of an Auror Master, was not sure that he would be able to fight her properly.
If so, what are you aiming for?
It is the only magic book she is holding.
‘If that’s the center of the plan, even if it’s difficult until destruction… it can be delayed by damaging it.’
Having made up his mind, he quickly rushed forward with the sound of a kick on the floor.
As if expecting his actions, Louis Reyna also silently fired her attacking magic with a hand gesture.
Raychen tried to get closer to her while barely cutting out the countless purple crystal spears, but then took a detour.
He changed his trajectory without hesitation, aiming for only one target.
“First of all, we have to stop that plan!!”
Gathering all the strength he could, he stabbed his sword.
but.
Before Reichen’s sword could even reach, Ruireina’s palm blocked his sword.
“???? what?”
“Who do you think taught you that swordsmanship? Of course, I expected it to come out like this.”
She lowered her gaze in pity.
“Your sword is something I passed on based on what I taught my student. Of course, we see through the countermeasures.”
he’s not weak
Without a doubt, there are only a few people who can block the entire continent with just this sword.
However, the period of Louis Reina’s life is longer and darker.
“I’m sorry.”
Just the slightest glance from her sent a huge force through his body.
She just turned her head as if she had no regrets to him as he passed out while vomiting blood.
“If you don’t understand, there’s no reason to talk anymore. Goodbye…
Louis Reina tried to kick him out.
At that time, Raychen desperately shouted.
“Wait!”
“?…”
Useless?…”
“That’s not it! no way! Time!
Please give me time.”
“hour?”
Her arms are slightly lowered.
“What do you mean?”
“I still don’t understand.”
“Even if you say that…
” “I don’t know if it was as cruel as you say 500 years ago. But there is no guarantee that this will be the case in the future, right?”
Raychen desperately shouted.
“The frameworks of each country are also stabilizing. Both magic and technology have definitely improved over the years. It means it’s too early for you to draw conclusions!”
Louis Reina frowned.
Just by not kicking him out at all costs would be proof that you are listening to him and thinking about it.
More than anything, it might mean that she still has a doctor who wants to hear him.
“What is the basis for that?”
“The basis is…
Raychen suddenly lost her words.
Is it because of the pain?
Louis Reina seemed puzzled.
But the words that came out of his mouth were different.
“Hurry up!”
It wasn’t something I was saying to her.
Words to a third person who may be hiding somewhere.
“ah??????
It was only then that Louis Reina turned her head devastated.
He understood that he showed a gap unlike himself.
Behind her, she felt a third person’s mana flowing.
“Wizard?! Where are you?”
It’s also not an ordinary kid.
8 classes? no, maybe more than that.
A sorceress wearing a white robe appeared and aimed at Louis Reina’s sorcery book.
One of the magic books that was directly hit by the magic used by the magician decreased in demonic energy, and the other was robbed and held in the magician’s hands.
Rui Reina tried to block it, but as she was embarrassed, Ray Chen desperately pierced her heart with a sword.
Ernesia!”
“I’m sorry. But your terrible plan must not come true.”
He just silently apologised.
