Chapter 932
Chapter 231. Resolution (5)
If I tell the truth, I will no longer kill a powerless person.
Jin didn’t believe Paellito’s words.
“It’s true…”
Jin took a deep breath as he aimed his sword at Faelito. Because his strength was almost exhausted, it seemed that even a slight loss of concentration would cause the sword to shake.
“good night. But before I answer, I want to ask you a question.”
Suaaagh-!
Paellito again fired his sword toward the outside of the battlefield. Just as it had annihilated the forest where Dante had just been, that sword force would also have annihilated the innocents who barely escaped hiding.
“The question is only for me. Another thousand bugs have died because of your bullshit.”
Tears ran down Jin’s cheeks. Blood, sweat, ashes, and tears mixed together, leaving dark marks. It was a pain I will never forget and will never forget.
heavy.
My exhausted body was heavy and the guilt of not preventing people’s deaths was heavy, so I choked. Jin was not staring at the weight of the faelito in front of him.
“I’m losing to you right now, Paellito. So no matter what you do, I can’t stop you. Conversely, you can’t shut my mouth either. Unless it kills me or cuts out my tongue. But you can’t do that… then it will be futile.”
His obsession with Sakiel was preventing him from cutting Jin.
Paellito couldn’t deny it. He still hasn’t come to terms with Sakiel’s death. I had to hear something from Jin that I could understand. I wanted to hear it.
“We both suffered irreparable wounds anyway. You lost Sakiel, and I couldn’t protect the people I should have protected. Maybe, as you said, even my friends died. Now no matter how this fight ends, we can’t live like before. What awaits you and me is not the joy of victory, but eternal pain that will not be forgotten even after death.”
The pain that each other can go through has already passed the limit. There was obviously a limit to the sadness a person could feel.
So from now on, it didn’t matter who would lose more or suffer more. Paellito lost the most important meaning of life when he lost Sachiel, and Jin will despair just as he does now even if everyone else dies.
“So, if I ask you a few words, you wouldn’t react so sensitively. Just as Sachiel does not come back even if you kill me, the dead do not come back even if I kill you.”
Crying…!
Paellito spat out black blood from his mouth. The purple aura around him was gradually turning black. Shimma continued to draw out the demonic nature inherent in him.
In fact, Paellito himself knew better than anyone else. That there was no going back, even if he heard more about Sakiel’s death from Jin, the outcome was fixed. He will eventually be consumed by the psyche amplified by the emptiness of revenge and the lingering sense of loss.
His future was clearly visible in Jin’s eyes.
That’s why Jin wasn’t afraid of the future. Even if he dies, someone will cut down Paellito, who has been encroached on by demonic nature.
Even if Jin is killed, there are still Chiron and Luna in Runcandel, brothers and knights, and colleagues in Tikan. One of them was sure to succeed him. Just as Jin inherited the will of Runkandel from a thousand years ago.
But behind Paellito is only the monster of the abyss, who only wants terrible pain. It is full of only unfortunate beings brainwashed by the monster.
“Thousands of billions of people who have forgotten what they were.”
“…what are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“You are one of them, Paellito. Even you who have reached Changseong do not know who you are. You don’t know what you’re fighting for.”
“It’s clear what I want, Gene Runcandel.”
“Establishing pain as a new order and Sakiel’s revenge? the latter would be correct But is the former really your will? That’s Zito’s will, not you.”
“Jito-sama’s will is the will of the Jinma realm.”
“Unlike you, I’m definitely weaker than you, but I met demons who escaped that brainwashing.”
“As expected, Biseps seems to be attached to you.”
“They had convictions. The conviction to protect the family, protect the comrades, and protect life from Jito’s evil beast. And you once led them. As the leader of the resistance, you were corrupted and became Zito’s slaughter knife.”
“It is a higher world that is difficult for you lowly people to understand. The world where the order of suffering has been established will not be as dizzy as it is now. Everything falls into its place and everyone has their own destiny.”
“Did Sakiel think so too?”
Cheoong! Paellito lowered his sword. Jin staggered as his sword was blocked by the impact. As for Paellito, he brought out the sword with the intention of crashing into the ground, but for some reason, Jin did not fall and regained his balance.
Paellito didn’t know what was making the gin hard. The time when he could endure with the determination or will to die had already passed a long time ago.
“If what Sachiel really wanted wasn’t Zito’s order, then what are you going to do, Paellito? Don’t talk bullshit about me saying I’m insulting Sakiel or that there’s no way I could be. Have you ever looked squarely at Sachiel, yourself, or those who fought alongside you? Have you ever faced your own people who were driven to the battlefield and killed by dogs just by Zito’s command?”
“I always watched it all exactly.”
“No, what you’ve seen so far is just the truth blurred by brainwashing. You know Dylus Claupino well, right? He shed tears as he was stabbed by my sword at the last moment. As if I realized something belatedly then. What was Sachiel like? What kind of mind do you think she was in the end?”
A moment of silence passed.
“…Unlike Dylus, I couldn’t see the end of Sakiel properly. Because of the field of loss. But right now our record mage is checking the battlefield. Perhaps soon it will be confirmed what Sakiel was like in the end. What did you think of when you died? Who did you curse when you died? I think it must be Zito for some reason.”
What Jito wants is not just the pain of royalties.
After starting a war with the Jin Demon World, Jin had been feeling that way for some time. That monster would want all the demons it commands to be buried in pain.
Otherwise, there would be no reason to use his subordinates as such expendable items, and there would be no reason to wage war this way.
If Grosche had sent Paellito as royalties before the castle collapsed, if more cracks had been untied throughout the royalties, if Zito himself had acted faster.
Inse would not have been able to win even once. Jin thought that Zito’s moves on the battlefield were never the best for victory. It just seemed like a good way for everyone to fall into pain.
“Also, I have heard from the Biceps that most of them have a family member or someone dear to them held hostage by Zito. But will only the people of Biseps be captured? If I were Zito, I think I would have caught all of your family members and used them.”
Whoa…! Paellito burst into laughter.
“You also have a knack for elixirs. yes i think you are right But even so, nothing changes. you killed sakiel You, a human, dared to kill Sakiel Grosche, who was especially superior among the demons. This is why I cannot forgive a world without order.”
“In the end, it comes down to that crazy fatalism again. You became Zito’s butcher’s knife because you stopped thinking. Without being able to escape brainwashing, he is drowning in hatred and struggling.”
“At this point, I heard everything you said. Gene Runkandel Now it’s your turn to answer me. Tell me why you are so troubled by the deaths of other humans and why you feel such a huge sense of responsibility.”
Paelito started to pick up his energy again.
Now I really felt like I had to put an end to Jin. I thought I could kill him and fall into the rest of Simma’s swamp.
Paellito hoped that Zito would not pull him out of the swamp at that time.
Whoa…!
Slowly, the flames of the fire began to envelop Jin again.
“It’s the first time I’ve said this since killing Kidard Hall as a reserve jockey… Paelito The reason I feel responsible for people is simple.”
I am the one who died once and returned back in time.
“…what?”
Paellito’s eyes widened.
I’ve never heard of a regression being possible. But Paellito could see that Jean was telling the truth.
“I met my death in Akin Kingdom 24 years ago. I was a very different person then than I am now. There were not as many things in my hands as there are now that I have to take responsibility for. I was just living a life for my personal success. Thanks to being chosen by Solderlet at the end.”
Jin met Paellito’s eyes.
“It was in 1808 that I died in my previous life. And now it’s 1804… The year 1804 I remember and now are completely different worlds. At that time, neither Gleeck, nor the bust, nor Jito appeared in royalties.”
“How can that…!”
Paellito couldn’t even doubt it. It was as if a huge light was coming from Jin, which he had never seen before from any immortal. I couldn’t possibly dismiss Jin’s story as a lie.
“I don’t even know why I regressed. Why was it possible, why was it me, why so many lives were decided because of me. If I hadn’t regressed, perhaps more people would have enjoyed life than now. The world must have been less dizzy then than it is now, but that’s all I can think about.”
Paellito’s heart was beating like it would explode.
“But, if it’s according to the theory of fate that you, Paellito, insisted on. My return trumps any fate. If I hadn’t returned, neither you, nor Sakiel, nor Jito, nor anyone else in the realm of demons. I didn’t have to step on the ground of human taxation.”
Paellito opened his eyes and rushed at Jin.
This time, he swung the bascalar with the intention of killing Jin, but Jin threw away his sword with both eyes open again.
“I will definitely transcend this fate. So, overcome your brainwashing and remember the fate that was originally given to you, Paellito Belgasium.”
