Chapter 40 – Thousand Years of Waiting (1)
voice?
No, it wasn’t a voice.
Rather than a voice, it feels as if the will is directly implanted in the brain.
Xian turned his head around at the strange feeling that he couldn’t even guess the direction of.
And Xian was able to face a certain woman.
No, can that be called a woman?
The figure itself was clearly that of a woman.
Alluring looks with long white silver hair.
It created a mysterious atmosphere with a dreamy atmosphere.
However, the hazy shape was subtle to call it human.
Above all, a pitch-black aura, darker than darkness, was being scattered around her.
A terrible thought felt in between
The nature of demonic energy was malice that was deformed by madness.
So it is human, but not human.
A living, but non-living being.
specter.
It was a ghost that died and disappeared.
-You… what the hell are you…
She muttered the same thing to Xian.
And while Xian blinked once.
Whoa!
Her presence came right in front of Xian’s nose in an instant.
Her two eyes in front of her nose.
Her eyes, seen through the light, were a deep grayish white.
It was as if two tombstones had been slammed into his face.
The muscles become stiff and stiff.
A sharp mind grips the body.
She floated in the air and circled around Xian.
-How… how do you know Kyle’s appearance…?
A will that sticks in your mind.
mind-numbing fear.
-Answer me!!!
Consciousness is far away from the exploding demonic energy.
Xian grabbed his teeth and grabbed the spirit to leave.
Then, he pulled out an S-class sword and swung it straight ahead.
Whoops!
A roar erupted from the darkness.
A collision of invisible forces tore through the air.
Xian hurriedly stepped back, fixing his sword.
She spewed endless thoughts toward such Xian.
The silent darkness stretches for a long time and encroaches on the space of the hall.
Right then.
“What, what…?”
Arya’s voice came from one side.
Arya was looking this way with a puzzled expression.
But without any time to clear up the question.
An encroaching darkness covered Arya.
Arya held out her hand.
aaa!!!
A white light burst out and began to dispel the darkness.
Absolute power to drive away the darkness.
Because of that, Xian’s demonic energy began to boil, but Xian forced himself to swallow it.
Because now wasn’t the time to question that.
Light and darkness intertwined and bit each other’s necks.
But that’s for a while.
Kyaaa
Creepy voices were heard, and the shadow of death began to deepen.
The swallowed darkness constantly blooms.
At the end, the light of divine power gradually began to fade.
“Nonsense!”
Arya shouted.
He further increased his divine power and fought against the rising darkness.
However, the blooming darkness could not be stopped.
“Uh, how could this level of thought…!”
“Wake!”
Whoops!
Arya was awakened by the roaring sound that erupted in front of her nose.
one view right away.
There, Cyan stood in the way of Arya and faced the blooming darkness.
Zeng! Damn!
The darkness split every time Xian swung his sword.
“Uh, how…?”
Seeing this, Arya opened her eyes.
What power does that darkness have?
I know because I just experienced it.
A darkness that swallows even one’s own divine power.
Xian was clearing that terrible darkness with a single sword.
Blasphemy!
Xian cut through the rushing darkness.
Although he was using the power of the Aura possessed by the S-class sword,
This terrible thought was different from ordinary thoughts.
Malice that cannot be purified even with divine power.
However, no matter how terrible a thought is, its essence is darkness.
After all, it was magic based on demonic energy.
And the Mahon Sura Sword (魔魂修羅劍) used by Xian.
It was a swordsmanship that deals with demons.
That’s why Xian was able to resist this darkness to some extent.
but.
“Keuugh…!”
It also had obvious limitations.
“I can’t last long! Don’t just watch, do something!”
At Xian’s cry, Arya immediately took action.
A saintess with the strongest divine power in the history of the Holy Empire.
A white light appeared on Aria’s hand.
After a little time, one by one, they began to form a single brilliance.
Eventually, Arya stretched out her hand.
The brilliance drove away the darkness that cut through the space at once.
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!
At the same time, an explosion was heard.
It seemed that the vengeful ghost was also swept away by the light of brilliance.
Is it really Muriel’s reincarnation?
Indeed, it was a tremendous divine power.
It was only then that Xian was able to breathe.
“What now… No, what the hell is that? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a being with such terrible thoughts. Why is a being with such thoughts in this hall…?”
Arya was quite confused.
Xian said to Arya.
“I think it’s a specter guarding the hall.”
“A specter guarding the hall?”
Arya tilted her head slightly.
Then, all of a sudden, I seemed to remember.
Arya opened her eyes wide and shouted.
“Could it be… the ghost waiting for the man who left?”
Arya asked again with a shocked expression.
“Wasn’t that just a made-up story?”
“I don’t know either.”
“······ what?”
Arya tilted her head once more at Xian’s answer.
“Are you saying you’re a specter guarding the hall?”
“The specter guarding the hall is right. It’s not clear whether that’s the ghost in the story the Crown Prince told you about.”
“What is that…! No, then did you know that the ghost exists? how?”
“Yeah…”
Because the mobile lord said in the quest that there is a specter here.
Xian didn’t bother to say anything behind his back.
Xian fixed his sword again.
A specter that appeared like a ghost.
Because of that, things happened so quickly.
But that was all.
You were trying to find a ghost anyway.
According to the quest, in order to obtain Kyle’s legacy, you must defeat that specter anyway.
“come.”
“Are you coming? what?”
Right then.
-how how···.
In the forward vision, the ghost’s shape was blurry.
“Nonsense! Didn’t it disappear even after being hit by the shining ray…?”
Arya opened her eyes wide and looked surprised.
Apparently, the divine power Arya used just now seemed to be of a fairly high level.
Even so, the specter did not disappear.
Needless to say, I could tell how terrible the specter’s deceit was.
Truly the vengeful spirit of the dead.
-How do you know what Kyle looks like…?
The ghost murmured once more.
And the ghost had been repeating the same words since earlier.
How does Xian know what Kyle looks like?
At first glance, it was an understandable question.
Because no one on the continent knew what Kyle looked like.
-Everyone who knew Kyle’s real face is dead…?
Therefore, it could be said that the ghost’s question was natural.
however.
‘Why?’
Xian could feel a slight sense of incongruity in that appearance.
Why is the ghost obsessed with the name Kyle?
If you think about it now, the ghost appeared right after Xian discovered Kyle’s appearance.
What does the ghost and Kyle have to do with each other?
If that’s the case, how do you react to knowing his true self?
for a moment.
‘Can this be…?’
At that moment, a thought passed through Xi’an’s mind.
– No one waits here. No one recognized Kyle’s appearance…? how are you…
Wongui looked at Xian and muttered repeatedly.
Various emotions pass through the two gray-white eyes.
Confusion, bewilderment, longing, longing.
A lot of inexpressible emotions came and went.
However, Xian could glimpse two distinct emotions in it.
anger.
and hate.
so that.
“…!”
Xian was finally able to realize the truth.
Right then.
“you! You seem to be misunderstanding something. We are not the men you have been waiting for!”
Arya took a step forward and shouted.
It seemed that he was certain that the ghost was the ghost in Conrad’s story.
-What are you again…
The ghost turned his gaze and looked at Arya.
I feel madness squeezed out of every cell.
It forced the death of those who faced it.
Arya shouted, not at all intimidated.
“And the man is already dead. Not coming back!”
– Talk about what you know!!!
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!!
Inside the curtain of complete darkness that even the leaking light is covered.
As if painting over the undulating darkness, the thoughts rushed in black.
At the same time, light burst through Arya’s body.
Tremendous divine power that drives away darkness at once.
The ghost’s thoughts were hideous, but
Arya has the strongest divine power in the history of the Holy Empire.
He was the one chosen by the Zodiac Sword over Kai and Panat.
Arya sent a wave of light towards the ghost.
Intertwined light and dark.
Two powers that did not retreat even an inch coveted each other.
and.
“Huh…!”
At the end of the fight, it was none other than Arya who was pushed back.
Of course, that ghost wasn’t just a simple ghost.
A vengeful spirit who has lived in resentment for hundreds of years.
No matter how much Ariara is called Muriel’s reincarnation.
It was difficult to fight that ghost.
The blooming darkness began to drive out the light.
-die···! die···!
The vengeful spirit blooms.
Arya grabbed her teeth and bit them to increase her divine power.
and.
Xian watched the scene.
Xian looked at the ghost in silence.
According to Conrad.
It is said that the vengeful spirit that guards the hall has never appeared in the past.
But when Sian finds a mural of Kyle’s true self.
The ghost finally made its appearance.
And how did Sian know Kyle’s appearance?
I’m not sure.
But if Conrad’s words are true.
And if the fairy tale story Conrad told me is true.
So, if that ghost is the woman in the story.
The truth that all of these point to is one.
“Kyle.”
Maybe.
“Did you wait here for Kyle?”
I think the man in the story was Kyle.
#
Startle.
At Xian’s words, the ghost’s body shook greatly.
At the same time, the darkness noticeably weakened.
Arya, not wanting to miss this opportunity, gathered her divine power to the maximum.
however.
“don’t do it.”
Xian blocked that aria.
“What, what?”
Arya opened her eyes in surprise and continued.
“That specter is stronger than you think! Even I can’t handle it! Get rid of it while you have the chance!”
Know.
That vengeful spirit is a being covered in terrifying malice.
He is already covered in madness and has gone mad.
That’s why, like Arya’s words, I had to get rid of it when I could.
Above all, Kyle’s legacy could only be obtained by defeating that specter.
however.
“don’t do it.”
For some reason, Xian kept blocking Arya.
