110 – Fallen Hero (Complete)
Is it because I heard something unpleasant?
From Noble mtl dot com
The expression on his face suddenly sinks, and his cold gaze turns to the source of the discomfort.
Did seeing myself like that give me confidence?
At the subject that was slowly turning into black dust and scattering, Mort smiled wickedly and continued.
“Looking at the expression, I guess my guess was right. Heh, heh!”
“···How did you know?”
“Subtle changes sometimes become clear evidence. For example, someone’s attitude towards me has changed slightly, or someone’s daughter has signed a contract with someone, or such small and subtle changes.”
“···.”
Honestly, I didn’t expect it.
The fact that Mort was sensitive enough to make such a judgment based on Darren’s smirking appearance,
It is said that Mort has the ability to look into the magic circle of contracts made by others.
I was embarrassed. I couldn’t predict what Mort’s future actions would be when he found out that his porter had betrayed him.
One thing is certain. No matter how perfect my plan was, it went completely wrong because of this guy.
Of course, Mort would try to harm Darren, and the Chaos Church that was in league with him would also try to influence the Bluemont family and the Academy in some way.
His head is pounding. It was already a complicated situation, but because of this guy, it got even more complicated out of control.
“It’s a shame. “If I had realized this earlier, I would have slit the traitor’s head first… But I ended up becoming a corpse and wasting my time for the time being.”
I was feeling bitter inside, but I heard a regretful voice in my ear.
As I was thinking about the content, I was able to recall one piece of knowledge I had learned from the teacher.
‘It was said that imperfect sins that result in the loss of the body have time for rebirth.’
It was said that the soul belonging to an evil spirit does not disappear, but while the body is regenerated, they cannot see or hear anything, or even speak.
‘Is this fortunate?’
If I remember correctly, the period could be as short as two months or as long as half a year.
It is quite a bit of time. No, honestly, it is more than enough. It’s too late to finish everything before this guy opens his eyes again.
When I think about it like that, my distraught mind feels a little more at ease.
“Hey, but do you know what?”
Is it because I feel at ease? Now that I had some free time, I was able to look down at Mort and take the time to speak in earnest.
“Even if you are really lucky and take this marble from me…”
I made a disdainful expression as I tapped a bead embedded in the sword with my finger.
“There is no way for you to become human since you have already been consumed by evil. Even if just by chance there is such a way… Tsk!”
“Whoa! Yes, you…!”
After talking for a while, I spat in the guy’s face, and the guy got very angry, probably because he was embarrassed, and frowned.
“You, who have committed countless sins, will continue to live as you do now, being despised by everyone. From the looks of it, it seems like you can’t forget the glorious days when you were a warrior, right? Don’t give a damn and listen carefully. “I will tell you your reality.”
“I… I…!”
“You are an idiot with less value than a monster. I guess everyone else thinks that too? “It’s the same now that you’re imperfect, it’s the same even when you become human, and it will always be that way.”
“Huh, nonsense…!”
“I told you the truth, but what nonsense… Honestly, you knew it deep inside, right? “You couldn’t endure it, so you chose the path of corruption.”
“This dog…! “Hmm!”
“Don’t open your mouth and just listen. “It’s so ugly I’m dying.”
I continued speaking as I used the handle of my sword to block the dirty mouth of Mort, whose black saliva was hanging down and his teeth had turned yellow.
“I assure you, you are such an asshole that no matter what you achieve, you will not be able to endure anything. Lets think. “Can you, who suffered from an inferiority complex even when you were a warrior, withstand people’s contemptuous gaze?”
“Eup… Eup!”
“Why are my eyes bloodshot? What the f*ck? Then do you think you can do anything? Probably not? What is a guy who hasn’t accomplished anything right up to now going to do? Hey, you pathetic bastard. If you can, give it a try. “No matter what you do, I will trample on you miserably.”
“Eup… Eup! Ugh…!”
“Are you crying? You look like sh*t when you cry. I said everything I had to say. Therefore···.”
I looked into Mort’s eyes filled with black liquid and held starlight in my hands.
“Please leave now.”
As I blink and cover the guy’s face with pure white light, his angry face and body turn into black dust and scatter in the air.
“···What an asshole.”
As I was watching that scene, I muttered and thought to myself.
Although it was cumbersome,
I felt so rotten inside that I almost broke down.
Nevertheless, there was nothing gained at all.
‘I have learned Manabun and gained time…’
Next, it was Envy’s turn to deal with the woman who kidnapped Seiji and Rose.

After the battle with Mort, I was able to arrive at Malik’s log cabin at dawn.
Could he have been waiting for me without even sleeping?
When I opened the door and went in, I saw Malik, Daisy, and Dian holding Tweet in her arms.
“You came alone. That means…”
“It was a trap.”
I answered Malik’s question with a worried look and explained briefly.
I followed the tracking spell, who I met, and what happened.
“Morte…What a damn bastard.”
Dian, who was calmly listening to my story, sighed and cursed at his former colleague.
It’s not that I don’t understand that feeling. I didn’t want to waste time talking about unnecessary things, so I asked Dian the main point.
“Where did the professor tell me to come?”
“They told us to come to the ‘Cave of Fantasy’ in the corner of the academy grounds in time for the raid. “It was also written that he didn’t know what he would do to his friend if he didn’t come alone.”
‘As expected, the place where Dian is called has not changed.’
Recalling my memories from the game, I was immediately able to realize it. About how Envy will try to take Diane there.
“Professor, take this first and keep carrying it with you. “I’ll tell you the reason a little later…”
“···I understand.”
I took out a ring from my pocket and handed it to Dian, then looked at Malik and asked.
“Senior, did you find the letter I told you about earlier?”
“Here it is.”
Then, I can see that Malik is holding out luxurious stationery to me.
I took the letter and began to read it calmly.

To. To Carmel, a vessel of sin, who will walk the same path as me.
How was it?
This magical day I have prepared, the nostalgia of those who are not where they should be and creates emptiness, and the forgotten but honorable ghosts that you encountered.
Did I lack sincerity?
Or did you like it?
I don’t know what kind of answer he’s muttering, but I think I know this one thing.
You are probably suffering deeply and making some kind of resolution.
It’s a shame. Because I couldn’t see you in person, the new protagonist of a story I couldn’t complete.
Well, it’s okay. After all, tomorrow I will be able to see your broken face in person, and I will be able to watch you for eons.
To be honest, I feel indescribable gratitude to you.
Because, you, a vessel of sin, are a novel subject and a stimulating protagonist who gives me infinite inspiration.
Is that why?
I am very much looking forward to tomorrow.
As the new protagonist of my story, what kind of performance will you perform on the stage I have prepared?
Actually, it doesn’t matter what resolution you made.
Because, the only option you have is to go up on the stage I prepared.
Oh, I spoke too long, right?
I ask for your deep understanding. Actually, it’s been a while since I held a fountain pen in my hand, so I can’t control myself.
I’m sure you’re starting to get a headache, so I’ll leave a conclusion.
I love you,
I love you,
If you want to save the women who were tied up by a tangled thread, please come to the location listed below and at the time listed below.
The poor children will be waiting for you there.
P.S.
Oh, I’m sure you know, but I’m leaving a postscript just in case.
I don’t want the main character in my story to move around with someone, right?
So please come alone.
Please come on time.
Otherwise, black seeds full of evil might fall between the lips of women as beautiful as flowers.

After reading the entire letter and storing the place and time in my head, I gritted my teeth and thought to myself.
‘I’m writing more and more needlessly.’
I’m going to die soon anyway.
“Now, listen carefully from now on.”
I cursed Envy in my mind and started explaining my plan to those who were waiting for me.
Plan for how much fun we will have tomorrow with this cheeky novelist.
