Chapter 919 Chapter
229. Kelliac’s Safeguard (2)
“That’s right. But right now?”
“Paelito doesn’t have much time as he will soon be ordered to the surface by Zito. Originally, I wanted to meet him with more caution, but now I can’t help it.”
“Okay.”
“As much as the current situation is dizzy, even you will need a cause to meet Paellito in person. Contact the Sword Demon Castle, reveal that this is the Sword Demon Castle, and tell them that you have something to report about me.”
Layla took out the seal of the House of Belgasium from her bosom. As the black forest seal imbued with magical energy, a small dimensional door appeared above it. Beyond the dimensional door, I could see the scenery of the Sword Demon Castle’s butler’s office.
{What’s up, Layla-sama?}
“Is the Sword Demon in the castle?”
{Yes, are you going to enter to see the sword master?}
“Yes.”
{As you know… Sword Demon is very saddened by the death of the General Secretary.}
“I know. But there is something urgent to tell you about Ragal Fern and his prisoner. open the door And make sure that no one sees me and the prisoner until I enter and see Paellito.”
{Please wait a moment.}
The butler of Sword Demon Castle reappeared after leaving for about ten seconds.
{I will open the door now. I’ll set the coordinates in front of Sword Master’s office. Layla and Ragal’s Prisoner, a total of 2 people entered. Is that right?}
“Yes.”
Whoa-!
The seal vibrated and the portal widened. Soon Layla and Kelliac entered, and immediately saw the door to Faelito’s office.
Layla’s expression hardened as if she was a little nervous.
“I’m Layla, the swordsman.”
“…come in.”
As soon as I opened the door, a strong demonic energy came out. Grief over Sachiel’s death, resentment and hatred for those who killed her, were constantly amplifying Paellito’s demonic energy.
Faelito was taking care of himself so that the demon would not harm those below him. His expressionless face, as he sat upright, was deeply saddened like an abyss.
Layla hung her head and waited for Faelito to speak first.
“Layla, at some point I forgot how long my days had been.”
After a while, Paellito opened his mouth without even looking at Kelliac Ziffle, who was standing next to Leila.
“Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years, or even longer. Like other demons, I must have lost a lot of memories through countless cycles of oblivion. What the hell was I thinking when I was against Jito-sama in the past, what I was trying to protect from Jito-sama… I have no idea at all.”
“Paelito-sama…”
Paelito opened his eyes.
“However, there is one thing that has always been clear in the blurry and distant life. It was in Jito’s reign… together with Sakiel, to raise the realm of Jin Demon to its proper place. To the ground with the real sun, which humans dare to enjoy without any qualifications.”
Purple tears flowed from Paellito’s red eyes. Leila saw him cry for the first time. At least as far as Layla remembers.
“Sakiel is dead.”
“I know.”
“Sakiel raised Groschega alone, was the general who best defended against the enemies against Jito-sama, and was the undisputed general secretary who stabilized the situation in the savage realm of demons. And to me… To me she was more than a subordinate. They were comrades who pursued the same destiny as their comrades who had prospered this land together. Such Sakiel was mercilessly torn to pieces by humans and died.”
Shit-!
Suddenly, a sharp aura radiated from Faelito and grazed Kelliac’s cheek. Kelliac didn’t wipe the blood or look at Paelito.
“It would be obvious why you, a Kellyac Ziple human, became Ragal’s prisoner. It was good that you didn’t make eye contact with me now. Had he done so, he would have cut his throat. Even if you put the witch on your back, now in my eyes you look like a human being who must be killed.”
“Is this really the power of the Bong Kwon Sword Bascala? It’s just a shallow cut on the cheek, but the feeling of being cut off the power makes my body go cold. If you think killing me will alleviate even a little bit of respect, then please. I won’t stop you.”
“You speak as if it is possible to block my sword.”
“Any sword that has lost its cool. However, if it is a real Sword Demon’s sword, it will be difficult to avoid even if you are not a Bascalar.”
“Pughhhh…”
Paellito let out a hollow laugh.
From then on, the boiling demonic energy calmed down in an instant, and the traces of tears on his cheeks disappeared without a trace.
“I understand why you came to the Sword Demon Castle now. So… the witch wants me to kill humans more calmly?”
“Neither the witch nor Jito would want that. Sir, now you have to go out to the surface to avenge Sakiel Grosche and retrieve Zito’s body.”
Paellito looked at Kelliac with deep, dark eyes for a moment.
“Kelliac Zipple.”
“Tell me.”
“There is no way that Jito-sama sent you, the witch’s plaything, directly to me. It must be the witch’s will that you came here. So go and tell the witch that you calmed me down.”
“It seems to me that the sutra has not calmed down yet.”
Leila felt her stomach dry up every time Kelliac opened her mouth. Every word was a dangerous statement.
Paellito was accurately reading Layla’s mind.
“It’s okay Leila. I was going crazy with the sadness of losing Sakiel, but my head went cold in an instant. This is probably why everyone avoids witches. Whatever happens, if you get involved with the witch even a little bit, the situation will definitely flow in the direction she wants.”
Layla bowed her head once more. She felt as if she was facing the now familiar face of Faelito.
Even he was heartbroken at the fact that he was actually brainwashed and degenerated by Jito.
‘When did Jito’s brainwashing begin? Since when did we start?’
Faelito stood up, breathing slowly.
“So how can I calm down more here? Kellyac Zipple.”
Kelliac pulled something from his bosom.
It was a black bead. Condensed extremely pure soul spirit.
“It is a bead made by the witch Heluram. The witch wants you to have this before you go to battle with royalties.”
“What is it used for?”
“It depends on what Kyung wants to use it for. It is something that can give life if you want life and death if you want death.”
“The explanation is ambiguous.”
“Witches are always like that.”
Paellito stared at the orb with calm eyes. It seemed that if I looked into it for a long time, I would be sucked into it and never come out again.
“However, if I dare to interpret the meaning of the witch. Life probably symbolizes escape. If you happen to be in danger of dying in battle, this orb will allow you to escape somewhere. I think it’s probably Jito-sama’s residence.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Why did the witch bother to send me to you? I guess it’s because I don’t want the gyeong to fail. So if you think you’re going to die, shouldn’t you live? The safest place in the realm of Jinma at the moment when Gyeong is defeated by the powerful people is Jito-sama’s residence.”
“Then death must mean a means of self-destruction. Just like… Sachiel did. Is the witch convinced that I will lose to the powerful people? Going into battle without calming down?”
“Maybe. If Gyeonggi does not fight as a perfect horse, then I will judge it that way too. extreme creativity. In human life, that level means a stage that is never affected by emotions. But the look I saw today is far from that. You were sad, and you are still sad.”
Paelito picked up the orb from Keliac’s palm.
“I will take it.”
“A wise decision.”
“How to use it?”
“Think of what you want and break the marble. In any case, the fact that the witch gave the beads must mean that she wants to save the Lord. I hope you will fight as the swordsman Paellito, not as someone who has lost a comrade. Then you won’t have to use this bead.”
“You sound interesting. As a witch, you would be in a good position for me to use this bead in some way.”
At that, Kellyak shook his head with a bitter face.
“I am not a worshiper of witches. Didn’t you just say it yourself? This is why everyone avoids witches.”
“Ah, you’re also in the same position of being fooled by witches’ pranks.”
“So it is.”
“We will find out if what you say is true after the fight. Go away.”
Paellito turned around.
Layla barely swallowed the word brother that came up to her throat.
“…I wish you luck, Swordma-nim.”
“Layla.”
“Tell me.”
“Do you know when the next oblivion cycle is?”
“I don’t know.”
“Me too. So we are a life where we can suddenly lose someone at any time.”
Leila had to leave the office without choosing an answer.
Then, while leaving the Sword Demon Castle, no one in the castle directly confirmed the appearance of Layla and Kelliac.
“As expected, the brainwashing cannot be removed through the fire of awakening. If I had used that authority, I probably wouldn’t have been able to avoid the battle with Paellito.”
“Is the bead really the witch’s? In the unlikely event that Sword Demon is attacked by humans, can he really be saved?”
“The bead was made by me, not the witch. Chaos was the main ingredient, so it’s like borrowing the witch’s power. The effect is also different from the description. The marble only has an escape function.”
“What if you lied to the Sword Demon?”
“If I told you it was a marble I made, would Paellito accept it?”
“That’s right. But in that case, wouldn’t it have been better to inform you that there was only escape?”
“Witches are ambiguous and confusing beings. Would a witch create something just to get someone out of harm’s way? Had he explained it that way, Paellito would not have believed it. Especially since he and Zito have met witches a few times.”
“Ah, I understand. Then, when the Sword Demon is on the defensive, whatever choice he makes, all he has to do is break the marble.”
“yes. Isn’t that a pretty good safeguard?”
Leila nodded.
Kellyak smiled quietly. Imagining Paellito breaking marbles.
