16 – The Path Chosen
The observer clapped twice.
Then, the scenery that looked like a storybook was turning over changed.
Sun and darkness.
And the two women they embrace.
The faces of the two women were not visible.
From noble mtl dot com.
One was blinded.
The other one is too dark.
Of the two women, he said, pointing to the woman the sun was embracing.
“If you want to follow the witches, if you want to rule the world, take the sun.”
This time, he pointed at the dark woman standing opposite.
“If you want to mediate between witches and humans while hiding among humans and establish discipline between them, darkness.”
From the observer’s words, I realized that it was really a world inside a game.
How can it be that all of them shriveled up?
“Please say romantic, not shriveled.”
“Anyway, this is it. To choose a faction. Why are you talking so cheesy?”
“Ha…. This is romance.”
The observer sighed.
Anyway, just looking at it, there are some things I can expect.
“One of them has something to do with the Notice.”
I remembered what Baren said and asked the observer.
“It would be difficult to say that there is no connection.”
“Which one?”
“What I just said has exceeded the standard.”
I was troubled.
If you just listen to the observer, the dark side is the best.
But this is in the end either way.
“Isn’t the one who is not chosen the enemy?”
“…”
The observer didn’t answer, but it wasn’t to the point where he didn’t understand what it meant.
In conclusion, either way, it’s a mine.
“Do I have to pick one out of the two?”
“Do you have any problems?”
“It’s full of problems.”
“Hmm…. I don’t understand.”
She tilted her head in puzzlement.
“Is this part of what you’ve been doing? I’ve been doing well without any guilt so far.”
“That was because it was a game. Now it’s a reality, but I suddenly choose one of the two, and the one I don’t choose, you’re my enemy! Isn’t it more strange to fight like this?”
After hearing my words, the observer looked at my face.
I also want to see inside this woman.
I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking.
“You are strange.”
“You don’t want to make enemies?”
Once the observer heard me, he covered his mouth and giggled.
“You don’t know how difficult it is to say what you just said. Humans make enemies unintentionally, but also intentionally. Do you know why?”
“Are you going to lose your hand?”
“I can’t say that’s wrong either. It’s not the answer I wanted. The answer I want is to form a group.”
The observer turned around and walked back, leaving me behind.
“It doesn’t matter for any trivial reason. Just having the same enemy creates understanding and people unite. When a group is formed, you have power, and you can deal with that group’s power just by standing on top of it. This is the form of power humans make most efficiently.”
“So what do you want to say?”
“Just because I don’t belong to either doesn’t mean I’m not an enemy to them. It’s a character who might become an enemy. That might turn them both into enemies.”
“But that’s not what I meant. I just want to live comfortably without getting involved with either side.”
The observer just turned his head and looked at me without answering.
“But that’s not the path we can offer you. But that doesn’t mean we can’t force you to choose either.”
“So what are you asking me to do?”
“We will give you a role as scheduled. It’s like a cushion to reduce collision when a collision occurs, so we can’t help it either. Instead.”
“Instead?”
“Rather than taking your statement that you would choose neither as a holdover, I will adopt it as another option.”
The observer’s expression became serious.
“So you mean you can just keep quiet?”
“Even if you don’t reveal it, some witches are aware of the king’s existence.”
“So?”
“Those who know of the king’s existence will try to find you. And if I find you, I’m sure you’ll get caught up in it.”
Suddenly while mulling over the words of the observer.
Boom!
There was a sound like a bomb breaking through a wall.
After that, my body floated in the air.
“Looks like it’s about time.”
“What is this?”
“I’m trying to drag you out.”
Observer, she said as she grabbed my leg.
“It will be difficult to meet again. This is not a place you can come just because you want to.”
She can’t understand her, but for some reason she makes a pitiful expression.
“Don’t get caught. If you want the comfortable life you talked about.”
I asked her what I was most curious about for the last time.
“I don’t think what I chose is good for you. Why are you doing this?”
“I told you. It is your guide.”
She let go of her leg.
Perhaps because she was holding her, her frozen body began to rise again.
Contrary to my expectations that it would go up like a balloon, it went up very quickly like a gyro drop.
Feeling dizzy and vomiting, she closed and opened her eyes again.
Suddenly, I saw Varen punching her in the stomach right in front of me.
Pang!
It was a tingling fist that rang all over her body.
“Uweee)
Having been hit by the pit of the stomach, I couldn’t stand it and ended up spitting out vomit.
“Daddy, it’s dirty.”
Varen hurriedly moves away from the vomit.
“Dog, bastard.”
She barely spoke while clutching at her chest in pain.
“Oh, are you awake?”
I got up to say something to Baren, but I couldn’t say anything when I saw Baren’s condition.
I don’t know why, but her clothes were torn, her body was covered with wounds, and steam was rising from her body.
“Sir Baren. What is your body like?”
“That’s right. I’m tired. I’ll get some sleep. Don’t touch And you will definitely kill me when I wake up.”
Baren gasped and lay flat on his bed.
Then he suddenly started snoring her.
“You really sleep like this?”
I looked around and asked Katrina why Baren was doing that.
Katrina doesn’t have to be as pale as Katrina.
“Because I have to go to bed too because of mana overload. Ask your older brother,” She said and left the kitchen room.
So this time, when I tried to ask Cassius next to me, Cassius let out a sigh with a grim expression.
After saying, “Let’s clean up first and talk about it later,” He continued to say that he was in trouble. He shook his head and left.
What is it, a new type of bullying?
Is it that hard to say that?
Inwardly, I grumbled, but without saying anything, I followed Cassius.
* * *
A garden full of brilliant light.
A woman sitting in the garden with one hand covering her eyes.
Then another woman came and talked to her.
“Serena. The watcher’s reaction is gone. What is this?”
“It must be dead.”
“Who killed you?”
But the woman called Serena could not give the questioner the answer he wanted.
She shook her head and said to Ariel.
“I can’t see it.”
“What are you talking about?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“I think the sky surveyor is broken.”
“If something breaks, we can fix it.”
Serena sighed.
It was because Ariel’s words were so frustrating.
In the first place, Ariel didn’t know how Serena looked into the past or future, but she did. Even if Serena explained to her, she didn’t think Ariel would understand.
It wasn’t because Ariel was stupid, but because Serena knew her personality, that she wouldn’t listen to anything that didn’t interest her.
If you explain it, you’ll be alarmed.
While Serena thought so, she said what Ariel could do to convince her.
“Do you think you can just say it’s broken and stick it on like your ignorant sword?”
“My sword is just too tight and doesn’t stick.”
Serena changed her mind.
Ariel seemed to be right about being stupid.
“Ha…. She wasn’t what I was looking for in the first place. She was spying on an expedient.”
“Then what should I do?”
“What should I do? I mean, there is no way.”
“Hmm….”
Ariel was troubled.
“But why did it suddenly break?”
“I don’t know. Because it’s the first time I’ve ever been like this. Come to think of it, she said that according to the prophecy, if an existence outside of the standard that she could not predict even an inch ahead appeared, the heavenly instrument would be broken. I didn’t believe it because it was so absurd.”
“Out of specification? Are you talking about the Sword Saint or the Demon King?”
“They are already dead, so are they? According to the prophecy, there is only one.”
“Who is that?”
Serena got up from her seat and faced Ariel.
Ariel looked at Serena’s mouth, expecting whose name would come up.
“Go and tell Leah. That the king has appeared We have to find it before Umbra.”
