168 167. The end of the story.txt (2/2)

It was Tiara's hand that was watching him.

Unlike sometime ago, the childishness is gone, and she is closer to Las Tiara. Her beauty was distorted and she desperately grabbed the man's sleeve and shouted.

''Master, wait!　At this rate, Master will lose himself!　If you continue to 'convert' any further, Master's body will be the same (...)!

The man stopped in his tracks when he was stopped.

In the meantime, the Sith takes off through the window and into the sky.

With a click of his tongue, the man yells at Tiara for causing his enemy to flee.

'So what!　Shut the f*ck up, Tiara!　You don't know what you're talking about!　It's none of your business!

With a gasp, Tiara's body shook.

There were tears in her eyes.

But without taking a step back, she said back.

''Ka, it's nothing to do with that!　I've done it with you!　I'm my master's best student--!

Tiara gripped the man's arm forcefully and pleaded her deepest feelings.

But it didn't reach him either.

The man laughed.

''Ha, ha, yes, I created it with you!　Hahahaha!　What a 'level up'!　Status!　That's a laughingstock!　You guys inspired me to create The Conjuring, and now I've got this.　This is how it ends!　I feel like an idiot!　This was all in the palm of your hand, just as you wanted it to be!　After all, 'witchcraft' was a 'curse' and a curse was a curse!

The man shook off Tiara's arm.

Still unbeaten, Tiara continued to appeal.

''But thanks to Master's idea of the 'conversion' technique, many people were saved!　The master became a hero, or rather the savior of the world!　I believe that it wasn't a curse, it was something more sacred!

'Haha, the Messiah?　Sacred?　Oh, yeah, I'm the Messiah!　All in the name of the apostle!　Now we can gather all the magic in the sky in one place!　Good for you!　This is going to save the world!　Hahaha!　And (...)?　So (...)?　So what happens (・・・・・・・)!　Oh, good, good!　That's really good, you guys (・・・・・・)!　I'm not good!　The world is saved, and what do I get out of it?　I've come this far since I heard that Yotaki was going to be cured!　He killed himself, killed others, did things he didn't want to do, and here we are!　That's the reward!　You couldn't help what you didn't want to help, and you couldn't help what you wanted to help!　Don't be silly, don't be silly!

The verbal abuse spun from a mouth that looks exactly like mine.

Under the pressure of his verbal abuse, Tiara finally lets out a single tear.

”Master, get a grip ....... Master is a more kind-hearted person .......

'A good-hearted man!　Haha, I'm not even a person anymore, though!　That's right!　Right now, I'm the highest level in the world!　I'm the one who came up with this magic formula!

The man's face was pathetically distorted and ragged after tears as he continued to laugh.

An outburst of emotions caused the magic power to erupt out of control.

Avoiding getting caught up in that magic, Tiara kept her distance.

The color of the magic power is a mischievous black-violet. It erodes everything it touches, shifting (...) the dimensions of its existence and breaking down.

It's an extraordinary magical power. And I know a magic power similar to it. It's the same as the Guardian's magic power. The phenomenon that occurs when a guardian shows its full strength.

It is an embryo of magical power that invades the world as well.

The walls are dyed black and purple and shift at an angle. The walls are not broken in any way, but you can see the other side of the wall. The same goes for the floor. As if cut out with a knife, the fault lines of the earth beyond the floor are exposed.

As I recall, in this era, 'magic power' was called 'poison'.

As the name suggests, it was a scene that could only be seen as the poison was invading the world.

If I were to name this man, it would be 'the one who steals the reason for the dimension'.

There would be no other.

'Sith......, you'll never let him get away with it or ......'

The man tries to walk.

But behind him, there is a shimmering shadow. Tiara is caught in the runaway of the magic, but she hasn't given up yet.

''Master, wait for me. ......

”--...... wait?　What?

The man's expression is stern.

You can tell that he's frustrated with Tiara for holding him back so persistently.

”I'll change everything from now on ....... I'll figure out all of the ”reason” and create a new law of magic power, so ....... I will create the 'magic' that will make everyone happy that we set out to do together ....... So wait a little longer ....... I'm sure your sister Yotaki will also ......--

Shut up!　We don't need any more 'magic' to make everyone happy!　It was all a lie, and you believed in the hypocrisy of it all!　What I said was 'magic' that would make Yotaki happy!　It was all for Yotaki!

The man stops arguing with Tiara by returning the mindless words.

The man walks away, shaking off the girl who tries to follow him.

Then he shouts out his answer to everything.

'It's too late!　Everything!

Don't go to ....... I only have a master--

The girl, Tiara, needed a man.

I know this because I see it objectively. Perhaps, a man was all that was in the world to her.

But she could also understand men.

To a man, Yotaki was all the world had to offer.

So no matter how many tears Tiara would bring to her eyes, she would not stop her feet.

''I'll definitely catch up ....... I'll catch up with you ......, just wait for me, Master .......

Tiara did not try to follow his back.

She must have known that there was no way she, as a disciple, would be able to defeat the man who was her master. Even with a light glance, he could see that the total amount of magic power was more than double the difference between them.

However, he hasn't given up yet. Tiara shouts to the man who is leaving.

A poor ”contract” that only imitates the ”Apostle”. But it's a word that has no magic power.

--a verbal promise.

”Wait for me!　I'll make sure to go where the master is!　Not by contract or anything else, by my will, by my power, I will share my soul with my master!　I swear!

Tiara declared to her own soul.

There is no magic formula. There is no magic power in motion. The world and the ”reason” have not moved even slightly. But it was indeed a 'contract'.

I'm not going to be able to bear those too pure words, and the man grits his teeth.

And then he shouts back.

''--!　...... You're my enemy!　Tiara!　If you're a Hoosiers' pawn, that means you were an apostle's pawn!　Don't let me see your face again!　At this rate, I'll even want to kill you!

Compared to Tiara, the word is too fragile and dirty.

Hence, she is unwavering.

She continues to stare at the departing man and vows to the end.

''I will not leave my master alone ......, never ......!　Just as my mentor saved me from one, I will save my mentor from one: ......!　I'll catch up with you over the years, even if it takes me thousands of years to do so: ......!

'　Why are you--!

The next time the man was hit with that innocent thought, he couldn't argue with it.

Unable to find the words to reply, he shouted like a child.

'Oh, shut up!　Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up--!

He then picked up Yotaki's body and walked out of the great hall to escape.

He walked through the ornate entrance, opened the entrance door, and walked out.

The man stared at the sky where the Sith had flown away while being hit by the heavy rain that was pouring down.

'I will avenge you!　The whole country that tricked me, the apostle who took the Yangtaki, the one who stole the truth from the apostle, the whole world!　I'm gonna kill you!　We're going to liquidate!

The man proceeds into the dark forest surrounding the castle.

He loses his family and friends and wanders alone in another world.

'Don't think you can escape, Sith!　With my 'Dimension' now, I can even cover a continent!

As he lovingly embraces Yangtaki's body, he expands the magical power of his body.

The dimensional magic covers the forest, jumps over the castle and envelops the continent.

''It wasn't the world I wanted to save!　It was a Yangtaki!

His voice is muffled, and it's hard to make out the words anymore.

His eyes were red and swollen, his face was pathetically contorted, but the corners of his mouth hung up.

Anyone could only assume that he was mad.

No, the man must have been mad.

The mad man disappears into the forest - and then he disappears into the forest.

That's when the replay of the memory begins to distort.

Like a fast forwarded image, the world accelerates.

As if to say that the rest of the story is irrelevant, our memories start to fade.

I felt the same way.

The only thing that mattered was the story of Yotaki.

That's why I just watched the movie in fast forward.

The rest of the story is simple.

It's just a story of a crazy man getting revenge.

He cheats and kills the ”thieves of reason”.

He collects ”poison” without thinking, and as his level rises, he becomes a ”monster”.

Such a ridiculous story.

And at the end of the story--

Scraping up a lot of magical power, the man had become stronger than anyone else.

But in return, he had become a 'monster'. Just like the man's sister, Yotaki.

His skin was ugly and sore, the number of arms had increased, and scales lined up. Red and black flesh like internal organs were exposed, and the floating blood vessels pulsed. It is a horrible sight, as if it were a fish or a bird, a creature that had been grafted on to its body. And its body is still crumbling.

A certain battlefield.

At the center of the magic circle, a man holds his dead sister's body in his arms.

Under the black sky, the man mutters to himself.

This is the 'World Consecration Squad' ......, and that's the end of everything: ......

The man is not the only one present.

There were people facing the man who had become a ”monster”.

It's like a painting that imitates a myth.

It's enough to give you a hint that the ”saints” are going to defeat the ”monster” just like the folklore Rastiara told us about.

One woman was at the head of the humans.

Tiara, who had grown into an adult, was standing in front of the man--

The vision darkens.

--This is the end.

I guess this is the end of the story from a thousand years ago.

To be honest, this is not a story that has anything to do with 'me'.

After all, this memory has only one thing to say.

Only one thing.

Aikawa Yotaki is dead.

That's the only thing I want to say.

That fact is the only thing that sticks in my mind, and I can't even pull it out--
