Chapter 28 (1/2)

28.WILLIAN’S AWAKENING

“…….”

Willian slowly opened his eyes. As if he was certifying himself of his own existence, he swept his hand at his face. He could feel the roughness and the inorganic coldness of the mask at the tip of his fingers.

Willian checked his current situation. The s.h.i.+ne of the candle had been gone long ago and the sounds of the banquet that was supposed to be happening outside the tent had vanished. In fact, most of the sounds had been gone and all he could hear was the sound of the trees.

“…Midnight, is it?”

Willian left the tent.

It was the usual darkness of the night you couldn´t see pretty much anything. The s.h.i.+ne of the stars were distant and small to be of help.

“…I can see.”

Willian slowly walked outside. He sneaked away from the encampment that was built in the middle of the mountains and he walked by himself at the deep night that even beasts would be sleeping at the time. His steps were as if he wasn´t actually walking deep at the night. His steps that lacked any hesitation would properly find their way to the ground. The uneven ground felt as if it was flat.

“…I can hear.”

As if he was dancing, Willian´s heart was beating faster. The music was the orchestra of the night wind and the sound of the trees. (TL note: I´m not sure about this part here ->　踊るようにウィリアムは弾む<- from=”” the=”” j.a.panese=”” dictionary,=”” this=”” -=””>弾む<- can=”” mean=”” about=”” when=”” the=”” breathing=”” gets=”” faster=”” or=”” when=”” the=”” heart=”” pulsate=”” faster=”” when=”” people=”” do=”” exercise=”” or=”” when=”” they=”” become=”” happy.=”” the=”” dictionary=”” translation=”” was=”” saying=”” that=”” it=”” meant=”” “get=”” lively”.=”” saying=”” that=”” willian=”” became=”” livelier=”” as=”” if=”” he=”” was=”” dancing=”” feels=”” too=”” weird,=”” so=”” i=”” put=”” it=””>

“It smells.”

The mountain was filled with smells. The smell of earth, the aroma of the trees, and from the distance, the smell of humans and iron, and some traces of the fragrance of blood. It was filled with scents; the world was filled with smells.

“Was it this much? Was it really to this extent!?”

Everything he was seeing was new. Everything he heard was fresh to him. Everything he smelled was vivid. The things he would touch, and the things he would taste were probably going to be new to him as well. The world had changed to these extents. Simple sceneries were enough to the point of making his eyes s.h.i.+ne, simple sounds were to the point of making him want to dance, simple scents were to the point of making him “erect”; he was sharply feeling everything. (TL note: ->エレクト<- i=”” swear=”” it=”” was=”” this=”” that=”” was=”” written=””>

“Ku, kuhaha. Aren´t you mean, Kail! You´ve been seeing this kind of view all along, weren´t you? You were feeling this world. This is not fair, you guys!”

The world was this much beautiful.

“Ahahahahahahaha!”

The world was this much fragrant.

“Is this the world you guys see?  ………..It is beautiful, and also….”

The masked man was pouring out a great number of corpses from him. A crowd of dead bodies. He was the king of the dead, who was surrounded by them and reigned over them.

“…and also, it is such a cruel and s.h.i.+tty world! It is cruel, noisy, and it stinks! But it is good. This is good. It is fine like that! I will paint this beautiful world with harshness. I will get my hands over everything that beautifully s.h.i.+nes, and also that which horridly rots, and I will not leave anything for any of you. Everything, will be mine!”

Willian Rivius ruled over. (TL note: He will lose again, won´t he? -.-)

“Now then, world. Let´s begin! Will I eat you, or will I be eaten. Let´s face each other!”

The being that would usurp everything has been born.

“…Eh? What is it now?”

“We are changing plans. We are in a good form today.”

Willian patted Karl, who was making a reluctant face, on his head.

“Believe in me.”
