Aryandor raised his sword.
He lightly swung his high sword, and the neck of Ophilus, who was sitting in front of him, fell to the floor.
“Hmm… … .”
Aryandor looked at Ophilus’s head, which had fallen to the floor.
Look at me like that for a second.
The head of Ophilus in front of him disappears, and Aryandor’s vision changes.
“No matter how hard you try, you can’t escape.”
Ophilus said to Aryandor with a sullen face.
Same situation as 10 minutes ago.
Aryandor is killing Ophilus several times now.
Even if he cuts Ophilus’s head off several times and rips off his body, he comes back to this situation.
Aryandor looked at Opilus and asked.
“What are you going to do with me?”
“Did I not tell you? I cannot die like this.”
“Then do you intend to continue tormenting in these eons?”
“Heh heh, that’s not bad either.”
“Are you crazy at last?”
Even if I was stuck in a repeating time, what was happening here didn’t feel like a hallucination.
Ophilus has died several times now, and he is feeling the pain with his own body.
It is not a pain one can bear.
Torture is an act of inflicting pain repeatedly on a line that does not kill a person, but Ophilus continues to feel the pain that crosses that line.
Even as time passed, the pain was not forgotten, and the situation just repeated itself.
Even if you feel death, you will live.
No matter how strong a person was, he could not remain sane.
Nevertheless, Ophilus kept his sanity and smiled.
“I am not crazy. Aryandor, you’re crazy, you’re just making people look crazy.”
“under… … !”
Ophilus is mentally in a predicament.
The battle between Aryandor and Ophilus is a battle that cannot be won.
There have already been dozens of battles, but Ophilus’s head escaped with a single sword.
Nevertheless, he laughed at Aryandor and relaxed.
He had good reason.
“Do you think this will happen again? eternally?”
“Are you going to wait for Rudy Astria and Ian?”
Why this could have happened.
That was possible because Ian and Rudy were away from the capital.
When the two who can handle space magic vacated the capital, Aryandor invaded the capital and was able to do this.
When the two of you return, you will be able to notice this situation.
You just have to hold on until then.
However, things were not going to be easy.
“Do you think I came here without a plan?”
Aryandor prepared Raven to pass the time.
The two drove Raven into a limb to delay their arrival to the capital.
He had no intention of saving Raven from the beginning.
Just to pass the time, I put in a large plaque called the head coach.
Ian and Rudy have a good understanding of time magic.
Rudy is affectionate, and Ian seeks the maximum benefit from everything.
Humans view others based on their personality.
With all of this in mind, the two will either think that the situation is a trap, or use Raven to attract them.
However, Aryandor did not attach basic affection to the leadership.
He had a degree of affection for things, but he did not have affection between people.
You can throw them away at any time if you have more priorities than saving them.
It doesn’t go the way Ian thinks.
According to Ian’s thoughts, Raven is the leader, so he would think of it as a big group.
That wasn’t wrong.
Because Raven was a talent that wasn’t easy to find.
However, if I asked if it was important in the current situation, that would be a question.
Because he’s already done his use.
Rather, it was more important to use Raven to kill Ophilus.
After drawing all these pictures, Aryandor moved.
Aryandor cannot see the future anymore, but as a person who understood time, he was able to make such predictions.
“Don’t worry too much, why don’t you stop now.”
“That would be difficult. I have a promise. Even if the situation is like this, as the Prime Minister of the Empire, it would be disgraceful if he kept one small promise.”
Ophilus said with a chuckle.
“promise? So, don’t you have a promise with me? When you become a being that changes the world. It will allow you to meet your family.”
“I told you to be the one that changes the world, not the one that destroys the world.”
“haha… … . And did you pick me up? Who sees the future?”
“You can’t see all futures just because you can see the future. I believed in a small future I never saw and took care of you.”
“It’s not funny. So, when I became a good being, does that mean that I could have saved my sister if such a situation had arisen?”
At Aryandor’s words, Ophilus hardened his expression.
“… … What are you talking about?”
“Did you think I didn’t know?”
Aryandor took his sword and stabbed Ophilus in the shoulder.
“Big… … .”
“That my sister has become a saint, and that she is a former great saint, Beatrix.”
Although Ophilus felt great pain from being stabbed by a knife, his embarrassment did not disappear.
Aryandor had to be unaware of Beatrix’s death.
That was the future.
Precisely, when he could see the future, all the futures that Ophilus saw were like that.
a single discrepancy.
A future that is out of the box among the majority of futures.
What Ophilus believed and hoped for was turned in the worst direction.
“And even if you hide it… … !”
Aryandor spoke in an angry voice and cut off Ophilus’s head.
When Ophilus’s head fell on the floor, he returned to the situation he had seen the first time.
***
“Cuckoo… … .”
Ian looked at Raven, who was hoarse in pain.
A day has passed.
Interrogations continued approximately every two hours as they moved.
Still, Aryandor does not come.
Ian began to feel strange.
Does Aryandor have no intention of saving him?
Judgment can be reached after only one day has passed.
Nevertheless, it must be judged quickly and accurately.
As Ian is currently conducting interrogation and moving, there is a lot of delay.
The time to arrive in the capital is getting late, and the distance from the capital has not decreased.
‘There must be a good reason not to come to the rescue.’
The situation in which Raven was hiding alone was awkward from the beginning.
It wasn’t that he was doing any research there, he was just wasting time by himself.
It was clear that a certain trap was hidden, but it was difficult to know what it was.
Ian stared at the fallen Raven and got up from his seat.
“Take the guy. move.”
“All right.”
A soldier who was watching from afar helped Raven.
‘For now, it would be better to keep moving towards the capital.’
Continuing interrogation is meaningless.
He might know important information, but if he doesn’t show any signs of speaking and he’s really afraid of Raven’s vomit, Aryandor must have already come to save him.
They don’t come to the rescue for other reasons.
It was Ian’s decision.
There may be a position where Aryandor wants to attack them, or there may be a different operation without attacking.
“there.”
“Did you call?”
“Tell them everyone is moving fast from now on. I’ll also reduce the number of interrogations, so don’t slow down until I tell you.”
“All right.”
The soldier followed the orders and returned to his position.
After confirming that the ranks had been formed to a certain extent, Ian slowly returned to the carriage.
‘What are you thinking? Aryandor.’
So while Ian was thinking deeply.
There was someone who was really curious about Aryandor’s thoughts.
“Aryan… … Dor… … .”
A person who is ill and unable to calm himself properly.
It was Raven.
After being tortured several times a day, his suspicions about Aryandor grew.
‘Are you coming? no… … Arriving in the capital… … .’
When Raven and Aryandor talked, they said that they would rescue them when they arrived in the capital.
However, it seemed that he would not be able to withstand it when he arrived in the capital in this state.
Although Ian cast healing magic enough to not die, it was more painful.
If you lose your mind, you can get out of the situation even for a moment, but because of the healing magic, that didn’t happen.
‘I can’t stand it like this. Aryandor-nim.’
Operation is operation, survival is survival.
The operation is obviously important, but if you continue to feel this kind of pain, even if the operation succeeds, there is no meaning.
‘They’re evil guys. I may not go to the capital.’
Aryandor did not even explain to Raven what the operation was.
Not knowing what kind of operation it was, his suspicions deepened.
‘The operation may be twisted by the plots of these guys.’
Then, Raven receives the pain, the operation fails, and nothing becomes meaningless.
Raven looked at the handcuffs on his hands.
There is a plan to release the handcuffs now, but if you enter a proper prison, that method may be useless.
‘But, yes… … .’
Ruining Aryan’dor’s operation is a sound of turning their backs on the rebels.
Of course, Aryandor could admit his mistake and accept it, but the odds seemed slim.
Raven closed her eyes and recalled the past.
A promise to Aryandor.
‘If you help me, I’ll make room for you.’
Raven has been satisfied so far.
Living in a hut with the rebels was what he wanted.
People were really rude.
I think it was unforgettable and enjoyable at that time, but it was more important to avoid the pain in front of me than to protect the place.
‘Run away.’
Raven’s evacuation line moved, and Raven hardened her heart and began to look for opportunities.
