86 – The Selfish Lian Primal
After finishing the parfait at the cafe, I walked through the familiar alleys and opened the door of a small shop to do my work and play more with Nero.
“Welcome.”
I bowed my head lightly in a dialect I was not accustomed to, and after greeting, I rummaged through a small wooden box, retracing memories of the past.
Let’s see, I must have been here… .
“Uh?”
“… ah.”
While I was looking for something like that, I turned my head to the voice of Neros that I heard from behind.
I frowned at the sight of a man with shoulder-length blond hair tied up in one braid, but I can’t forget the pattern on his chest.
The pattern of a blue bird soaring with its wings wide open.
It was the pattern of the Poriana family, which was said to be the richest family in the empire through trade with other countries, and the family of the man Neros originally liked.
“… Whoa.”
It was going to be a big deal.
As soon as I was sure, my hand almost went out.
No, even now, I am just barely stopping my mana from going out at the sight of Neros.
“… .”
Neros has no memories of the past.
If you think about it again, you can call oblivion a blessing.
The disappearance of good memories may vary from person to person, but bad memories disappear, and even the memories of good memories disappear, so there is nothing left for that person.
If only common sense remains for no reason and only memories go back to nothing, that person can live like other people if only human relationships are reset.
And Neros is just like that.
I forgot all my memories as a student at the academy and as a nightmare nightmare, and I was living as Neros.
However… What would happen if Neros’ memories were awakened because of that Lunia?
“Neros, get out quickly… .”
“Wait a minute.”
“!!”
One word from Neros came out with a curse that gave you goosebumps.
The shop owner over there fainted as soon as the aftermath of the curse hit, and the butler next to Runia took out a knife from his chest and prepared for battle… Runia turned blue and put her hand on the sword at her side.
What qualifications do you have?
Ting!!
As the hand reflexively jumped out and swung Nemesis, who was carrying Runia’s sword at her side, and blew the sword away, Runia’s expression hardened beautifully.
“you… ?”
I don’t know… Neros is more important than you.
“Neros.”
“Lian, wait… Wait a minute.”
At first glance, it looked okay, but Neros’ face was expressionless.
And I’ve never seen Neros completely expressionless.
“Lunia… Runia… Runia… !!”
As a purple curse erupted from Neros’ hand, the butler next to him trembled and dropped his dagger, and soon after, Runia sat down on the floor.
“why… You are alive!”
As Runia’s cry resonated throughout the store, Neros’ arm instantly turned into that of a lord and was swung away.
Kwagagagak!!!!
When the emotion of anger burst out, the power that exceeded Neros’ skills so far jumped out, and not only the first half of the store was destroyed, but in the aftermath, the items around were blown out in an instant.
“Why are you still alive!!!”
The appearance of Neros gradually changed into the form of a familiar spirit.
However, instead of being an ordinary white-skinned lord, Neros’ skin color is dyed black, and his dark yellow eyes turn red as if he is being corrupted.
I just have to wait for Neros to finish his revenge. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a forgotten state, but I’ll respect it if it’s the revenge of Neros who has already remembered everything.
I think so.
Tring!
A quest has arrived.
“… suddenly what?”
The quest that came to mind out of the blue only sounded ominous.
[revenge? Or salvation?]
[Neros is now at the crossroads of a choice. Now, what are you going to do?]
[Choose revenge: Neros’s complete corruption and complete awakening as a lord]
[Choose Salvation: Survival of Runia.]
“… f*ck.”
At first glance, the content encourages you to choose revenge, but what awakening as a lord means is that you will no longer remain as the Neros I know, but will go down the road as a nightmare.
If, like the king of the spirits, the essence of a spirit spirit that prioritizes instinct over reason and rushes madly for its own purpose is awakened… Neros will no longer be with me.
He will go around looking for survivors from when Neros was at the academy and killing them one by one, and then he will be dealt with as a perfect feat and may have to deal with superhumans like Skaya.
“Die!”
Watching Neros’ claws fly to Runia, I calmly tightened my grip on the sword.
I am a very selfish kid too.
Ting!!
I block Neros’ claws with Nemesis and tell him to come back, but…
“Move! This is my revenge!!”
The answer, of course, is negative.
so would the country If there is a target to take revenge in front of my eyes, my eyes will turn.
I actually did that too, so I understand that feeling.
“I’m not going to say the stupid thing that revenge is wrong and that revenge begets new revenge.”
Grabbing my sword, I aimed it at Neros.
“This is what I do out of my own selfishness. If you have any complaints later, I’ll do whatever it takes to die with you… I will stop it for now Neros,”
“Get out of the way before I kill you!! Ryan Primal!!!!”
“Even if I die, I will stop it. Neros,”
*****
When the claws of Lian and Neros collided with each other, red magic and dark purple curses mixed together, and a storm blew up with a roar.
The Curse of Neros has been upgraded to the next level by feeding on anger.
The dark purple curse was so powerful that it surpassed the heyday of what was called a nightmare in the past.
[aaa!!!]
It is impossible to conjure a spell due to the loss of consciousness, but a storm can arise just by swinging a fingernail, and a crater can be created just by shooting a curse.
A nightmare like a natural disaster.
“It deserves to be called a nightmare.”
Lian calmed down his panting breath and drank the recovery potion he bought at the coin shop, barely brushing off Neros’ claws.
Kagagak!!!
An ordinary opponent would see a match of strength, but the opponent was that Neros.
Even if the ability is small, the front seat is the top.
Rian, who ran her nails through the blade and climbed up Neros’ arm, aimed and stabbed Neros precisely in the eye, but Neros raised his hand to block the eyes.
Fu-wook!
Nemesis, which penetrated his hand, burned Neros’ body as if it were a holy sword, but Neros didn’t care about that and swung Nemesis’s hand wide open, sending Lian flying into the sky.
“Ugh!!”
Lian’s body curled up on its own at the deafening roar and air resistance.
Lian, who had risen in the air for about 5 seconds, paused in the air… started to fall rapidly.
Then, the lump of Neros’ curse that flew toward Lian in the air.
A situation where there is no magic power enough to shed or cut off the curse.
In a desperate situation where it was impossible to escape because there was no foothold in the air, Lian had only one choice.
[Enhancement Potion: 2,000 Coins]
[Temporarily increases stats. Instead, after drinking the potion, your abilities will be halved for 7 days.]
It was doping.
Lian, who bought a potion at the coin shop, inhaled it and threw herself at Neros’ curse.
“aaa!!!!”
The attack caused by the curse originally has almost no physical power.
However, with the characteristic of omnipotence, Neros instantly gave mass to the curse.
[Explode.]
And at the words that followed, Lian’s eyes turned round.
─────!!
At the same time as the deafening explosion, the orange explosion that exploded in front of Lian’s eyes was so powerful that an ordinary person would not even leave a piece of flesh.
[…] ha… ha… .]
Neros’s eyes gradually began to turn dark red.
There was no longer any light in the eyes that had lost reason.
There was no light in Neros’ one eye, which was gradually becoming black.
“Where… I will see.”
[!!]
Even until I heard his voice behind me.
When Neros hurriedly turned his head, Lian was barely standing there.
Since he hadn’t come to fight, he wasn’t even wearing the armor that Rirke had prepared for him, and his defense mechanism was the thin wall of magical power that didn’t go well with defense, and the durability of a human named Lian.
I couldn’t stand it.
Although I lost my reason, I thought I would have died if my instincts were at that level.
“I told you… I will stop it by dying.”
Wow!
Lian’s eyes glared at Neros while spitting black blood from his mouth, opposite to Neros, his eyes were shining brighter than ever.
like gold.
“I’m sorry for stopping your revenge. But this life I swore to be dirty and selfish.”
Lian laughed bitterly at the coins in the coin shop, bought a potion with the last remaining coins, and put it down his throat, then took a step closer to Neros.
“So I’m going to stop people who voluntarily walk toward hell right in front of my eyes.”
[Rian!!]
Neros collected the curses once again, and Lian drew the runes accordingly.
Soon, the cursed bullet and Lian’s magic collided once more.
