Chapter 41 – Thousand Years of Waiting (2)
“Are you crazy?!”
Arya shouted.
Xian didn’t answer anything this time.
Turbuck.
just trudge.
Arya just stepped forward.
Xian turned around and looked at the ghost.
The ghost was quite confused.
The dark grey-white eyes towards Xian trembled.
And there was still fierce anger and terrible hatred there.
However, Xian could feel another emotion inside.
Kyle was an existence from a thousand years ago.
now dead and gone.
Sian slowly opened his mouth.
“No matter how long I wait, Kyle won’t come. Don’t you know yourself well?”
＜Shut up!!!＞
My mind was dizzy at the long roar like the tinnitus of hell.
Fear and fear crept into the exploding darkness.
Reason is paralyzed and thoughts are erased.
“I can’t. I don’t know what you’re thinking…”
As a result, Arya gathered her divine power.
But Xian once again stopped such an aria.
“you···!”
Arya looked at Xian with an expression of incomprehension.
Xian still had no answer.
Turbuck.
I was just taking a step through the exploding darkness.
To be honest.
Xian’s thoughts were not very different from Arya’s.
A vengeful ghost in front of your eyes.
It was amazing that the man she was missing was Kyle.
But that was all.
For a long time, the vengeful spirit was swallowed up in madness, pierced by resentment.
That’s a living, but non-living demon.
It was an existence that deserved to disappear.
Above all, Xian entered these halls to find Kyle’s legacy.
And according to the content of the quest.
Only by eradicating that vengeful spirit could the legacy be found.
That’s why it was absolutely necessary to exterminate that ghost.
maybe.
If you haven’t realized this truth by now.
Xian must have done that.
But the moment I found out the truth.
Sian couldn’t bear it.
When you think about it, it was very strange.
A story told by Crown Prince Conrad
It was a story related to this hall.
An outstanding man whom even the emperor coveted.
The story of a woman who had to break up with such a man.
The man died longing for the woman.
The woman also died longing for the man.
However, the woman did not forget the man.
That spirit rested here in Arnaise Hall.
Let’s wait for him who won’t come back.
At that time, Xian was a woman waiting for a man.
I wondered why he fell asleep in Arnaise Hall.
But if that man was Kyle, it was acceptable.
however.
It was still a mystery how she had been able to fall asleep in the Arnaise Hall.
Of course, there was a strong barrier in Arnaise Hall.
In the story, it was known as a barrier created by that ghost.
But the truth is.
A barrier made by Kyle at the request of the other Arnaises.
In other words, it was the barrier created by Elodie.
Elodie is a 10th tier great mage.
The state of Exceed that only 6 people in the history of the continent have reached.
It was a barrier created by Elodie.
No matter how much the ghost is said to be an existence that even Arya can’t handle.
It wasn’t to the extent of surpassing Elodie.
To be precise, it wasn’t enough to break through the barrier created by Elodie.
That’s why the vengeful spirit does not sleep in the hall.
In the first place, it should have been impossible to enter this hall.
But how could the ghost fall asleep in this hall?
and another one.
The woman in the story became a vengeful spirit because of her grudge against the imperial family.
yourself and the man.
That is, because of the grudge that separated him from Kyle.
then.
Crown Prince Conrad could not have been alive.
That was also the case when the prince entered the hall here.
It must have been torn apart by that ghost right away.
see even now
As soon as the ghost saw Xian, he wanted to kill him.
If the ghost is obsessed with resentment towards the imperial family.
He would not be able to forgive the descendants of the imperial family.
A vengeful spirit that even Arya can’t handle.
Not just Conrad in the first place.
All previous emperors, including the current emperor, Baluaga, had to die in the hall.
But Won-Gi didn’t.
Again, he never showed up.
Because you can’t show yourself?
For such a thing, Xian showed up openly now.
why?
these two questions.
The question started here.
In the end, Xian was able to reach the truth.
“you.”
The premise was wrong.
It was a bad idea from the start.
That vengeful ghost.
“She’s not the woman Kyle loved.”
Not the woman Kyle loved.
“What, what…?”
Arya shouted in an embarrassed voice.
and a ghost.
-······
Won-Gwi had no words.
As if Xian’s words were true.
“What the hell is this…!”
Arya was greatly surprised by the ghost’s reaction.
And a question that naturally arises.
“Now, wait a minute…! Then who the hell is that ghost?”
Who is this ghost?
This can also be found in the story.
There are four characters in the story Conrad told.
a man who excelled.
The emperor coveted such a man.
A woman who misses such a man.
and a forgotten existence.
An existence that no one even cared about.
Abandoned.
“The emperor’s younger brother.”
The emperor’s younger brother who was forced to marry a man.
And if the man here is Kyle.
The emperor, of course, becomes Charlotte.
That’s why that ghost is not the woman Kyle loved.
“you. He’s Charlotte’s younger brother.”
He was Charlotte’s younger brother who was forced to marry Kyle.
“Mu, mu, what nonsense…!”
Arya shouted with a look of astonishment.
-so···. So what’s wrong…
And the reaction of the ensuing ghost.
Only then did Xian know the whole truth.
Conrad told the story of the hall and said that the contents seemed to have changed.
And that was a half-right, half-wrong guess.
It was that ghost who spread the story in the first place.
So, she was Charlotte’s sister.
I don’t know if she was forced to marry Kyle.
After all, the story Conrad told me was a story she made up.
But one thing seemed certain.
She seems to really love Kyle.
But Kyle eventually left her.
She couldn’t forget Kyle.
So, I decide to wait for him in the end.
She asked Charlotte to sleep in this hall.
Perhaps Charlotte couldn’t refuse her sister’s request.
That was why she was able to break through Elodie’s barrier and fall asleep in this hall.
And make a story and spread it to the public.
A story quite different from the truth.
I thought that Kyle’s death while missing a woman was also made up.
Its purpose was simple.
If, by any chance, it is known that the woman Kyle loved is sleeping here.
someday.
that sometime
Will Kyle come visit me?
In such anticipation, she fell asleep in this hall.
And so.
A thousand years passed.
– Kyle was engaged to me… But it went away all of a sudden. I… I was just trying to wait for him like that… What’s wrong with this… so···. So what’s wrong!
she says.
-And you… what do you know… What do you know about my feelings of waiting here!!!
I do not know.
I don’t know.
I don’t even dare to try to understand.
Unlike other races such as dwarves and elves.
Human life span is less than 100 years.
But what a thousand years.
Even if it’s dark, it’s too dark.
How can I dare to say that I understand the pain of those distant years?
That’s why Xian couldn’t know.
but.
I knew one thing.
“Kyle didn’t leave you for the woman he loved. No, it would be correct to say that Kyle never had a woman he loved in the first place.”
If there is, maybe one.
It must have been you in front of me right now.
-what?
she shouts.
-Don’t say anything funny… What do you know! Are you teasing me…!!
Endless thoughts explode.
The hanging darkness threatens Xian with death.
My mind flickers, and my consciousness goes farther and farther.
However, Xian gritted his teeth and held on.
Kyle had no woman he loved.
I don’t know why I was misunderstood.
Maybe Kyle did something that could be misunderstood.
It was because Xian hadn’t informed of the circumstances of a thousand years ago.
But I could be sure of this.
Kyle didn’t leave because of another woman he loved.
That would be the case, because the mobile lord definitely said this.
《Arnaise Kyle faces a certain truth.》
“And I felt my fate that I had no choice but to leave.”
It wasn’t because of the woman that Kyle left.
Because of some kind of truth.
I don’t know what it is.
At least because of a woman who doesn’t even exist.
“Kyle never left you…!”
– You and the like talk about what the hell you know!!
The madness grew and a gruesome death followed.
“hey!!”
Arya was greatly surprised and raised her divine power.
Die.
The truth Xian revealed was shocking.
But that’s it.
That specter, the vengeful spirit, was already late.
An existence that has already been swallowed up by madness and gone mad.
It’s unfortunate, but it deserves to disappear.
So it should be removed.
Arya drew the most divine power.
and.
tall.
Arya’s body stiffened.
A hardened gaze.
There, Xian was quietly holding his sword.
Even if you shouldn’t be able to wake up in the hideous darkness.
Xian is silent and calm. was holding a sword
“I cannot prove to you that what I am saying is true.”
Sian murmurs softly.
Xian had nothing to prove to her.
I couldn’t prove mobile lord.
And even if
Even if there is something else to prove that fact.
It must have been buried and disappeared over time.
So Xian couldn’t prove the words in any way.
Nonetheless…
Xian slowly swung his sword.
And in my head, I replayed the memories of the past days.
The day none other than Sian first met Kyle.
The Demon Soul Sword that Kyle first showed to Xian.
-·······!!!!
Her movement jerked and stopped.
The darkness that has been cast in an instant disappears.
The shock wavered as if time had stopped.
Xian continued to swing his sword.
at a slow but not slow pace.
quick.
Xian couldn’t use the power of Auror.
There was an inherent demonic energy, but I couldn’t handle it yet.
That’s why the sword he wielded couldn’t contain any momentum.
Is that all there is to it?
His talent was also terrible, so he couldn’t even properly unfold the sword path he was just copying.
In the first place, how could he properly spread the swordsmanship of that distant state?
Xian learned to cut and stab.
It was just these two moves.
That’s why his posture is sloppy.
I even tripped and almost fell.
The phenomenal power that Kyle showed.
The mystery embedded in it.
A shabby sword with nothing in it.
but.
-Ahh···.
She didn’t know what it was.
I couldn’t know
last thousand years.
Memories become memories
During the distant years when even those memories fade.
Not even once. not even for a moment.
because I never forgot
How…
how can i forget
Now she saw a man in her eyes.
I’ve been waiting and waiting for a long time
some man
Xian’s sword flows.
A clumsy and sloppy sword.
“·······”
Arya was speechless.
stupid mind.
Xian’s sword continues to flow.
“This is… this is…”
Arya muttered softly.
“This is a memorial service…”
memorial service.
A noble sacrifice that comforts the soul.
Wiryeong (慰靈) was not something anyone could do.
Comforting the wounded and wounded soul is a sacred thing more than anything else.
It was not easy to capture that nobility.
That’s why even within the Holy Empire, some qualified people.
It was a sacrifice that only cardinal rank or higher could do.
And now.
A memorial service held by Xian.
This was more noble than any memorial service performed in the Holy Empire.
Even more so than the memorial service she, as a saint, conducts.
Arya’s eyes turned to the ghost.
-Ahh···.
She was sobbing.
Until just now, the hatred and anger that had been inflicted on evil had not been seen.
she’s quiet very quietly
As if if I cried out loud, something big would happen.
-Kyle…
She was sobbing.
Darkness completely fading away.
It was madness that even divine power couldn’t do anything about.
The madness was no longer felt in her.
Xian’s sword stopped.

Tring!
