143 – My Everything
Light up the darkness with a small lamp.
Evan’s black lantern, Evan is a guide. Evan looked up at the Grudge Realm, an island created by a lump of resentment.
Wow!
The circle splits in two and the shape of a huge old woman pops out. A giant old woman wearing a black crown. It was hunched over, sitting on a throne of resentment.
-…… If it weren’t for you… The empire would have collapsed.
The voice of an old woman resounds gloomily in the sky.
He is the god of curse embodied by the Witch King.
Shaaa!!!!
Witches like fog poured down on Evan. Although the witches did not target Maya as promised by the Witch King, Maya was out of breath just from the unholy magic they emitted. A magical power that is too harsh and stinging for a young creature to handle.
It felt like I was going through a storm.
Evan recalled his past life.
When we took the refugees and made our way through the witches.
The refugees only saw Evan’s light and followed him. Because everything around was dark. I couldn’t tell where Evan was with just my two eyes. Unless Evan causes the light.
So Evan created light.
[Savior! The light is so pretty!]
[hehehe, I feel so relieved just by looking at the light of the Savior.]
The familiar voices of refugees. Evan felt a mixture of regret.
‘I couldn’t protect you.’
Evan alone could not save all the thousands of refugees. Evan thought he was weak. He said that if Evan were really strong, he would have saved all the refugees.
‘So all I can do is do what you liked.’
Evan recalled a world of images as the witches attacked like a storm. The appearance of the sword held in the past life and after returning overlaps.
Throughout time, countless overlapping swords strongly capture the moonlight.
-Kiaaa!!
Witches who are divided just by being near Evan. One side of the storm begins to split. Evan drew her concentration.
The light on Evan’s sword begins to become dazzlingly bright.
Evan recalled the swordsmanship he had seen and the swordsmanship he had imagined. She wondered what it would be like to use the sword like this with the sword Evan had only seen before. Even the swordsmanship I had only imagined. Evan felt uplifted.
Deuddeudeudeudeuk!!
The sword trembled strongly. Unable to withstand the image that comes to Evan’s mind, her sword shakes as if it will break. Luminous moonlight. Evan raised her sword skyward.
The world ruled by witches in the past life quickly became dark even if the witches were killed. Witches added from somewhere soon darkened the sky. So Evan made countless moonshine.
Ggggg!!!!!!!
Time moves at a rapid pace.
The image of Evan holding the sword in his past life, the image of Evan holding the sword in her gravity room after returning, the image of Evan holding the sword now, and the image of Evan holding the sword in the future overlap in Evan’s body.
Even the future that Evan never experienced.
Jiiiiing!!!!!!!
The moonlight, which was shining like crazy on Evan’s sword, could not hold out any longer and was shot into the sky… One or two stars began to appear in the night sky. A star filled with dazzling light.
‘Savior!’
Refugees who followed Evan’s light behind him. Evan divided the stars so they could be seen. So that you can see and follow the constellations wherever you are.
‘If you are lost, look at the sky.’
Even though the witches may cover the sky, they cannot cover Evan’s starlight.
“I will make stars in the darkness.”
To the refugee boy who lost his way. Make the light that the boy loved brighter.
“Maya.”
Evan spoke to Maya, who was no longer a boy. The boy’s image and the ecstatic Maya overlapped.
“Follow the light.”
The sky becomes brighter.
Countless stars appear in the dark night sky…… They had a brilliant light. Hope for those who only knew death, a requiem for them.
-……….
The witches, who were going crazy, looked up at the sky in fascination.
A night sky full of stars.
Each of the stars is the ultimate meaning of a sword. The tips of all the sword techniques that Evan had experienced and imagined were divided by sword technique and displayed in the sky.
Because this is all the swords Evan knows.
“My everything.”
It was Evan himself.
Evan’s second mental world.
Evan’s true inner self.
『The World of Imagination: The Universe of the Sword』
A place that Evan, who spent his entire life honing his sword, eventually reached.
A place where all the past, present, and future times where the sword moves coexist.
The boy who held the small lantern brightly lit up the night sky.
To make the light that refugees loved more beautiful.
The world falls into silence. The witches who were talking noisily just stared at the night sky in fascination. A world where even unclean magic has surrendered to the light and gone into hiding. Evan aimed his sword at the Queen of Darkness sitting on the throne.
“Open the darkness.”
In an instant, the endless starlight in the night sky fell towards the queen.
It was beautiful.
If I were to die surrounded by this light, I would feel so warm. However, the Witch King increased his unholy magic power to its full potential. If she deals with Yeo-myeong in a hurry, she will be rude to Yeo-myeong for her current appearance. To the boy who shows everything of himself like this… Shouldn’t he show everything to his opponent, who was once an old man?
-Swallow the dawn.
The Witch King, who had become an old woman, pointed to her dawn with a big finger.
Gugugugugugugugugu……….
All the darkness of the world is flocking towards the dawn.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!!!!!
Starlight bombards the darkness like thick fog. Like a meteor shower, stars began to fall on the Witch King.
The world that was the Magic Tower was engulfed in light and darkness, ruined as if there had been a great flood, and the images of Evan and the Witch King were mixed. Because they were so outstanding, the moment their inner worlds collided, they were able to see each other’s past.
Paaa!!!!
※
The roar that seemed to destroy the world quiets down.
It feels like I’m falling into a swamp somewhere, like I’m going into a dream.
When Evan opened his eyes, he saw a dark operating room. What immediately stands out is a girl lying on the operating table. The terrible smell of blood and medicine assaulted her nose. There were clear tear marks on the girl’s face, and her body was full of pain. Evan felt like she had become a girl and she could feel the girl’s pain.
‘Tsk, it’s really out of control.’
Magus, the tower lord dressed in black, clicked his tongue as if disapproving. Evan learned that Magus was the girl’s surgeon. The girl’s memories flow in.
The elders of the Magic Tower constantly replaced the girl’s body so that she could obey. The girl flinched and trembled every time the scalpel touched her body. She was used to pain, Evan, but this sight was jarring.
The scene changes.
The point at which time has passed.
The girl died after her body was torn apart by the elders of the Magic Tower. The smart girl had managed to maintain her senses despite the magic tower’s brainwashing, but the anger that seemed to burn her soul could not be quelled.
‘I won’t leave you alone.’
The girl could never forgive the elders of the Magic Tower who only caused her pain. Could she have done this if they had felt even a fraction of the pain she felt?
Everything I pleaded with while I was a test subject not to do it didn’t work on the elders of the Magic Tower. Because the girl was a tool. There was no need for the elders of the Magic Tower to use tools that did not listen to her.
The girl swore her revenge on this abominable group.
A corpse incinerator where corpse debris, foul odor, and maggots pile up like a mountain.
The girl was burned there and reduced to ashes.
Time passes again.
The girl resurrected from the corpse incinerator of the Magic Tower and began reviving dead test subjects. These test subjects were the world’s first ‘witches’.
Witches were a contagious disease. As soon as it came into contact with humans, it was able to melt them black and turn them into witches. This was a major fatal blow to the empire, which was weakened at the time.
-It’s all because of you that we became like this!!
The test subjects who had been turned into witches by the girl rolled their eyes. They hated everything that caused them to die painfully.
So, all humans in the empire were killed without distinction, turned into witches, and turned into the witch’s servants. This would continue until the fall of the empire.
Time passes again and again… When the fall of the empire is just around the corner.
It was not a coincidence that the girl found the white-haired old man Evan. The girl could know all the news about the empire. She says that the poor survivors of the empire are led by an old man, Evan, who I heard is called a ‘savior’.
The girl didn’t pay much attention. She’s going to be a savior or whatever, and the empire will fall anyway.
In fact, revenge had already been completed, and the elders of the magic tower were hanging with their heads cut off at the entrance of the collapsed magic tower. All of them were researchers on the project.
By this time, the girl was sick of pain. Her unclean magic and resentment brought endless pain to the girl. She harbored excessive resentment to seek revenge, but her soul could not endure and rotted away. Other witches went crazy from this pain and relieved their stress by killing the people of the empire.
-Will it disappear?
The girl sat on the throne and thought.
If she simply dies, the girl’s outstanding body is resurrected. The girl felt a deep sense of emptiness. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to live as a king in an immortal empire of witches for life.
If only I could cut off this terrible pain.
It will be much more valuable than the king’s seat.
-Keee…… !! Majesty!! Dawn has broken the eastern defenses!
One day, she swallowed her anger and reported to one of the witches.
The girl was unexpected. It was the first news of defeat she had heard in a very long time. A long time has passed since the imperial army collapsed. There was only news that witches were winning everywhere in the empire.
The only place where there were old people was different. She gave rise to light, so she is now called ‘Dawn’. Since Dawn, she has been heading straight to where the Witch King is.
The first impression of Yeo-myeong was that of a small old man wearing a scarf. As soon as the girl appeared near the capital, she raised her sword. It was a light that the girl had not seen in a long time.
It is difficult for witches to see the light.
The witches’ unclean magic turns the sky pitch black. Even if the girl removes the unclean magic, only a blurry sky is visible.
Even if I tried to see the light, I couldn’t see it…….
“…… “Because of you, an innocent boy died.”
Dawn was shedding tears in her eyes like an old woman who had lost her grandchild. The girl felt a sense of kinship with the old man.
Boom!
The first fight between an old man and a girl.
The light seemed to embrace the girl. The girl became interested in the old man for the first time. She was curious. Is the author similar to himself? Does he even know the pain he feels?
The girl made sure her old man felt the same pain she felt. If the old man is similar to himself, wouldn’t he be okay with dying for the old man? Wouldn’t it be warm if it touches that light? The girl wanted to feel happy in the end.
-How dare you…… How dare you try to harm me!!
The girl played the ‘queen’.
Because the old man must hate himself.
That way, the old man will use the light on himself. On the one hand, the girl wanted the old man to understand her. If she truly understands herself… Will he give himself happiness?
Time passes again… The old man arrived at the witches’ castle and killed the girl. The girl died after her body was torn apart by tens of thousands of sword strikes that imitated her meteor shower. It was truly a beautiful sight.
-Ah… So beautiful.
An illusion as if countless starlight were passing by the girl.
For the first time, the girl felt an emotion similar to joy. If I could close my eyes in such a beautiful place… I think I can put her mind at ease now.
But she couldn’t die. Her superior strength brought her back to life. The girl was dissatisfied.
When I looked around, I couldn’t see the old man. The girl frowned and set out to find the old man.
The old man was killed by the Paladin of the Apocalypse.
The girl found a dead old man in the collapsed castle.
-The person who killed Jim…… Isn’t it very shabby?
The girl laughed loudly. As she always did with the old man, she played the part of an abominable witch. But the old man did not react.
Because he died.
It was quite vain.
Is it easy for her own light to cool off like this? Looking at the dead Paladin of the Apocalypse… It seems like a draw. The girl’s expression distorted.
She touched the old man’s cold forehead, and the girl squatted down. It felt like her heart was being torn apart.
-Don’t die.
I didn’t expect this ending. She thought that even if the girl was revived, the old man would come to kill her again… Would she have to die this easily?
A girl’s light.
The girl felt as if her own light was dying in vain…….
-Ah……… ….
The girl sighed and returned her old man.
After seeing all of this, Evan learned about the girl’s long, long life. Something she had never experienced in her previous life. The moment she learned the secret of the Witch King that she had kept hidden.
Paaa!!
Consciousness returned to the battlefield within me.
In the meteor shower of countless stars that destroy the world… The Witch King was stretching his arms to the sky as if in ecstasy. To the girl who escaped from inside the giant old woman and wished for her happiness.
Evan could not bring himself to raise his sword.
Fit!
Evan deflected the path of her light with all her might. Her judgment of light, which seemed to melt the girl, merely cut through the darkness on the ground.
