158. Purgatory (6)

‘Did I fall asleep?’

No, that’s not it.

Read at readwn.com

My consciousness was clearly awake.

But why are you so sweet?

What’s more, there was tremendous vitality circulating throughout his body.

I woke up and opened my eyes.

Then, the bright vision penetrated the sight.

To be more precise, it’s not because of the excellent eyesight like Shin-an, but my senses themselves feel sharp as if they were on the brink.

A notification window that I had not seen in a long time popped up in front of me.

[‘Aura of Perm (破魔)’ has awakened to ‘Aura of Destruction (滅魔)’]

‘Awakening?’

I wonder what the hell happened.

I looked at the ‘Aura of Exaltation’ that was awakened.

[Aura of Extinction] (Locked)

The form in which the ‘perm (破魔) aura’ came into contact with the ???

Destroy all evil.

▶ Auror (Identity Skill)

Trait: Extinction (滅魔)

It has an absolute advantage only in the magical (魔) attribute.

However, points are consumed for activation and maintenance.

The characteristic has been changed from ‘perm’ to ‘extinction’, and it has changed from having an overwhelming advantage to having an absolute advantage.

Points are still consumed to use them.

Words are awakening, but looking at this alone, it doesn’t seem like much has changed.

Rather, I’m more concerned about that ‘???’ written on it.

However, apart from that, it seems that something has definitely changed.

Aside from the overflowing vitality, I feel like my senses have expanded.

Clearly, ‘Shinan’ does not work, but there is no visual discomfort.

Because I can clearly see the inside of this hut without a single point of light.

Even if you are not concentrating, you can feel the pulsation of all objects and living things in the radius as if you were concentrating.

‘By the way, what is that ‘locked’ thing? … .’

??? Aside from that, there is something else to be concerned about.

What does ‘locked up’ mean when you wake up?

You can’t like this system if you say you like it.

‘What has changed, and what is locked, you will know.’

After all, the points used to raise the Auror are not burdensome.

I’ll have a look to see what has changed.

* * *

“Turn it off!”

The shaman old woman’s eyes opened wide once again.

“Grandma, what else is this time?”

The person who was guarding the outside came inside the hut in amazement.

“The hour has finally come!”

“What kind of time is the time… … .”

Just as she was about to respond to the old woman’s cry, a huge energy surged in from the center of Rite like a wave.

“That place… … .”

where the umbilical cord is.

The place where Lucas had been locked up for two days even though he was already thirty.

When I opened the entrance to the hut, an unbelievable landscape was unfolding.

Lucas’ Aura, which started from the center of Rite, that is, from the umbilical cord, covered the inside of Rite like a spider’s web.

The hut of the umbilical cord where Lucas was in was fluttering wildly, like a violent storm.

The hut, which looked as if it were about to collapse at any moment, collapsed and collapsed.

Then a divine light began to leak out of the wreckage.

People approached him as if possessed and knelt before him.

Where their awe goes.

There, Lucas was floating in the air with blue eyes.

Its appearance was no different from that of a god in mythology.

“Glory to the whole body!”

* * *

As soon as the auror was raised, a squeaking sound echoed in my head. At the same time, I couldn’t move my whole body.

As if being sucked into something, my consciousness sank.

-Come on.

I woke up slowly to the sound of someone whispering.

strange.

at the same time familiar

This clichéd expression really struck me.

That voice is unfamiliar yet familiar.

– I’ll see you at last.

When I raised my head, a bluish light resembling that of my Auror was talking to me.

– I waited a long time. the day I meet you

Who the hell was waiting to meet me?

And what is the meaning of such intense affection?

“Who the hell are you.”

– Well, you still don’t know.

Is it something I should be aware of?

I don’t know the shape or appearance for that.

Thinking like that, at the same time, an unknown emotion bloomed.

‘why me… … .’

Do you feel sorry for this unknown existence?

Do you feel that your heart is heavy enough to even feel like a debtor?

-When the ‘door’ is fully opened, you will know me too.

“door?”

– The answer to that is here. Isn’t that important now? original sin… … Do you want to be executed?

I was blown away by that remark.

okay.

Why am I here? It’s all to kill that Trisha.

“okay.”

– I can help.

“you?”

Under normal circumstances, you wouldn’t believe it.

But the atmosphere that that light gave off, this feeling made me trust those words.

“how?”

– I’ll lend you my power.

“strength?”

-okay. If not, would you have awakened?

A thought popped into my head at those words.

The person who awakened the Aura of Perm into the Aura of Exaltation.

The existence of the ‘???’ that bothered me the whole time was the sound of this guy.

-Yeah, that’s right, I’m that ???

Apparently you’re talking about yourself, ??? I can’t understand the part

– You won’t be able to hear it yet. The ‘door’ didn’t fully open. One day, when you fully open the ‘door’, then you will know. who i am

It sounded somewhat bittersweet, but now it doesn’t matter.

“Then, you want that Trisha… … So you mean you can help us kill original sin?”

-Well… … That’s hard.

what is this again

– The only thing I can help is ‘punishment’. Right now.

“Right now?”

-You haven’t opened the ‘door’ yet.

“What the hell is that ‘door’?”

– I can’t tell you yet. You couldn’t open the ‘door’.

From before, door, door.

There’s something about it that really pisses people off.

“… … Anyway.”

But now is not the time for such trivial matters.

“What punishment are you talking about?”

– What was the original sin state in the original timeline?

“… … It was sealed.”

in a place called purgatory.

… … no way?

-okay. That’s the ‘punishment’ I was talking about.

“However, that cannot be a fundamental solution.”

must kill

That is the fundamental solution.

Wasn’t the reason I came into this purgatory to kill Trisha before she was sealed?

-right. It cannot be a fundamental solution. But to kill the original sin without even opening the ‘door’ is suicidal. It could inflict huge damage. But nothing is resolved in the original timeline. Is that really the scenario you want?

not.

What I want is the absolute comfort of my precious things.

came here for that.

“That would be when I put survival first.”

But if I sacrifice my life for the original sin and kill Trisha here.

-… … Then the story would be very different.

“So that’s it.”

-But, is that the end?

“… … What?”

– Did you forget? Curtis?

“What… … .”

What do you keep forgetting?

Then the light began to radiate brilliance.

At the same time, as if shouting directly into his head, a stream of dialogue passed clearly.

‘It’s okay if you don’t remember the conversation you had with me. It’s okay if you don’t remember my existence. But one thing you must remember is that you are the only key to averting the end of this world. I am Curtis. It is an honor to be able to save you, to be able to replace you. So now, you must save this world. A greater threat than the demons… … threaten the world. Please remember, Professor. Only you are the key to stopping the end of the world.’

“ah… … .”

A vagueness different from the vagueness that came from this light enveloped my whole body.

I remembered something not to be forgotten.

– Well, how are you? Can you understand me now?

“… … okay.”

Trisha may be the original sin, but in the long run, there is a real danger.

Something that will bring the end of this world.

A real danger in the name of ‘probability’.

“What should I do now?”

– That’s what you know best.

At the same time, the light began to fade away.

-Remember, the greatest danger is yet to come.

As the voice of light faded away, my consciousness shifted as if being sucked into somewhere else.

* * *

As the blue light from Lucas’ eyes faded, his new form descended to the ground.

His eyes slowly opened, and at the same time, a huge presence enveloped the audience.

‘Ugh… … .’

Originally, his presence was overwhelming, but on a different level.

It feels as if you are dealing with an existence that is one level higher than that.

Just by standing in front of him, his intestines were twisted.

I feel like I’m about to vomit blood.

When the people who were lying on their backs stumbled, the weight that had weighed on them disappeared as if it had ever been.

But Lucas’ presence was still there.

“Your whole body… … .”

Lucas glanced at those who worshiped him, then turned and kicked the ground.

Passing through Sotdae in an instant from the center of Rite, we arrived in the middle of the Fedur Plain.

In the middle of the most concentrated place of magic, his presence shone.

It wasn’t a metaphor, but from his whole body, a divine blue aura was burning like flames.

Like the stars in the dark night sky.

The light was shining bright enough to swallow the darkness.

Lucas stretched out his hand in the air.

School Academic Award. Deyan – Durandal

Kwareung!

A streak of lightning struck Lucas’ hand from the sky.

Parts-

At his fingertips, Durandal embodied with the same brilliance as Lucas.

The figure of Lucas holding Durandal was the same as that of the whole body they admired.

He didn’t stop there.

The original Durandal is also the name of a god, but the skill itself that cuts through even space.

Lucas pushed the points further and raised the Aurors.

And he cut down the place where Magi was the most cohesive.

spatula-

In an instant, everything around him stopped.

breath and pulsation.

It was a brief moment, but it definitely stopped.

and-

blah blah-!

Slowly, the space-time he had cut split open, and magical energy spewed out.

– Who dares to interrupt my event?

The dark magic gradually took shape.

A hand that opens the gap in the cracked space.

Legs with a sense of intimidation with every step.

The body that connects the two.

And even the hair that emits a red eye glow.

The shapes that were completed one after another were so primal and instinctive that they could be defined as ‘evil’ at a glance.

-Someone said, it was Saman’s seed. Soon your bastards will be swallowed up too.

“… … .”

-Are you afraid of disturbing my event? scary? do you regret it?

He completely escaped from the cracks in the space.

At the same time, Durandal, who was in Lucas’ hand, also disappeared like smoke after fulfilling his duty.

-The confidence in this arrogant act seems to have come from such an ignorant weapon. What if I don’t have that weapon anymore?

Trisha opened her mouth wide.

He was obviously far away, but his jaws stretched out like that of a crocodile, and he was close enough to swallow Lucas at any moment.

“You are arrogant, Trisha.”

spatula-

But the snout did not serve its purpose.

In an instant, its snout was cut off and fell to the ground.

– Ho…

Trisha’s snout, which fell to the ground, became like a gooey liquid, and then returned to his body.

– That’s quite a bit.

Trisha was still mad.

I was just thinking of Lucas in front of me as a mere plaything.

However, its existence itself is impressive enough to make you remember it.

However, when he confirmed the identity of what was in Lucas’s hand, his mood changed drastically.

– It’s only dealing with me… … I mean, he came with a branch.

The atmosphere resonated in response to Trisha’s wrath.

-Your talent is more arrogant than extraordinary.

Trisha spread her index finger and aimed at Lucas.

Ji Yi-ing-

Huge magical spirits flocked in, and the surrounding atmosphere shook like a storm.

– Disappear without a single trace.

Bee ing!

After leaving Trisha’s fingertips, Magi flew towards Lucas.

It cut through the atmosphere, changed the terrain, and was shot intensely, as if boasting its power.

Soon, it reached Lucas and created a huge explosion.

The terrain changed, and a thick magical mist rose.

It was as if nothing could survive.

Trisha’s eyes widened.

Just before his attack reached Lucas, he slashed it in exactly two halves.

Normal humans could not survive this attack, and there was no way that they could exert this level of power.

But the guy in front of me did it.

– Boy, what is your identity?

“My name is Lucas.”

Through the thick magic, Lucas appeared.

He slowly opened his mouth and spit out sentences that would complete his identity.

“… … He is a professor at Grasco.”
