Chapter 211 - Despair (1/2)
”What is this?” Evan couldn't believe his eyes. Terrifying energy was emanating from the girl, and a shiver went through his whole body.
”Is it...is it ”Gust!?” The dark energy emanating from the girl was actually a definite emotion. The girl stepped into ”Gust,” and the emotion she was now experiencing became tangible. Evan was surprised at the power of this energy, but what struck him more was that the girl was not a mage.
<She definitely didn't have an ounce of mana in her. How was it possible for her to enter ”Gust”? But, it's it, and what's that emotion she's feeling right now?>
A few seconds later, dark energy filled everything around her. It touched Evan, and at that moment, he realized what it was.
<That's despair. It really is an incredibly creepy and powerful emotion. I didn't think I'd ever see something like that. What's more, this ”Gust” is different from the ones I've seen before, it's much stronger, and that's considering she's just a simple person. She's not a magician, but she's definitely unique>.
The despair could be compared to an abyss. It was just as deep and terrifying and all-consuming. Everything that despairs touches was in the deepest depths of darkness, and now the simple girl was emitting an enormous amount of that energy.
”What a terrible feeling. It's times worse than when demons suck the life force out of me. Then I lose some of my life, but this darkness makes me think I have disappeared from this world. It's like I never existed, and I'm nothing more than empty space.”
Mumbled Evan looking at the dark-haired girl. When Evan said that he killed everyone in the village, she blamed him at first. But then she concluded that it was all the fault of this cruel world.
When her eyes turned dark and empty, that's when her outlook changed. As she continued to emit dark energy, the girl looked at Evan and said, ”Help me.”
Evan calmly asked: ”How can I help you?”
For a while, the girl froze. She pondered, and during that time, her eyes grew even darker, and the dark energy suddenly stopped emanating from her.
”Give me the power to control the destinies of others, for that I will do anything!” She concluded that if she were strong enough, the tragedy would not happen. Even if this world was extremely cruel, with enough strength, the situation could be changed. Evan was the one who had ruined her world, but he was also the one who had shown her how to confront fate itself.
Evan smiled like the devil and said, ”You want power? All right, I'll give you power!”
The next moment Evan bled himself dry and quickly drew the sigil 71st demon, Duke Dantalion.
He activated the sigil, and an old book appeared in his Nirvana. Evan said loudly his wish - ”Awaken this girl's talent for magic!”
The demon immediately quoted a price, only - three years. Evan nodded confidently, and the life force began to drain from him.
Evan decided to take such a step, not out of the goodness of his heart, he was very curious why the girl was able to enter the ”Gust” even though she was not a mage. Moreover, her ”Gust” was very strong, and the emotion she felt could destroy the whole world.
Originally Evan was going to kill her, as there was no way she could survive in a place full of monsters, but now his plans have changed. She would be his investment in the future.
When the price was paid, and the book disappeared from Evan's Nirvana, strange changes began to happen to the girl.
Her aura increased again, and she began to emit dark energy, but Evan was sure she was already out of the ”Gust.”
<What?! Is that a ”Splash”? But isn't it only supposed to happen when a mage breaks one of his ”Barriers”? This girl is getting more interesting>.
When the dark energy stopped emanating from the girl, she muttered confusedly: ”What is it?”
”What do you mean?” Evan asked, puzzled.
”I'm in some strange place, I don't know where I am...”
<I see, she walked into ”Nirvana,” by the way...>.
”Tell me, do you see a hovering sphere in the midst of this space?” Evan asked calmly.
The girl just nodded.
”Okay, then tell me what color it is? It could be purple and white.” Evan was curious to know what color ”Warp” the girl got.
