chapter 274
274 – 80-3. Academy’s Pure Love Black Knight.
***
Before going into operation, I had something to tell everyone.
Revealing the truth that I have hidden until now.
“Fine and I have already gone back in time and returned here once.”
“That’s right. “We have to change our plans.”
I also didn’t want to become the same guy as Magic Hat.
I didn’t want to repeat the future where everyone dies again.
“Is that really true?”
“It’s hard to believe. “The flow of time is a law of nature and is not something that a mere human can defy.”
My colleagues looked disapproving after hearing what I said.
A question about whether that makes sense.
That’s what he was saying as he frowned and glanced at me.
I took a deep breath and looked around carefully.
For them, it’s the same as saying that I traveled through time and came to the past.
“You don’t have to believe me.”
Looking carefully at everyone’s eyes, he says this.
I will no longer run away with lies.
We will fight back.
Because I am no longer afraid.
“I see a transparent window in front of me, and because of this, I have experienced countless lives and deaths.”
A total of 24 deaths.
This is the same number as the number of times I killed Magic Hat in the game.
“I met many people along the way. Yes, all of you here.”
Like the hands of a clock turn around and point to a new tomorrow.
I thought this 25th life was my last chance, and I opened my mouth to create new possibilities.
Fine gently holds my hand next to me.
It feels like my cold hands are melting into the warmth.
“Cainel, Ariel… from Emperor Locke to Empress Belin Grancia.”
“… What. Belin..?”
In the first life, he possessed Richt’s body and defeated Magic Hat.
And even went back to the imperial palace of the past and met Empress Belin.
I told my entire story to my colleagues who were listening to the story in front of me.
“However, the unfortunate consequences caused by demon lords could not always be prevented.”
Even though she grabbed the magic hat, Fine became a nameless saint.
The Demon Lords of the Dragon Cult were stopped with minimal sacrifice, but Fine was corrupted into her Demon God.
Kinel became corrupted into the Demon Lord of Light after Ariel died, etc.
“Because the fate that had already been decided could not be changed except through the ‘Grand Route.'”
I told you everything I had tried so far without giving up.
In the end, everyone’s love level was needed to complete the grand route.
“Actually, I didn’t know what the relationship status meant in the status window I was seeing, but….”
Someone may say that they are necessary companions to catch the demon lords.
You could say that this is what is needed for the beloved hero, Fine, to awaken.
If another person sees it, they may say that it is a numerical expression of the lover’s love.
“I think I know for sure now.”
Because love doesn’t need numbers.
This is the percentage for creating a grand route.
It would be best to say that this is the number needed to create a happy future for everyone.
“Would you like to trick Magic Hat with me? Everyone.”
“…….”
I remained silent for a moment and waited for an answer.
Because I’ve been lying and deceiving people for almost a year.
Was it a big shock? Or maybe you don’t trust me?
“Okay, let’s give it a try.”
Among the people who were silent, a familiar voice was heard.
“What is it, Mr. Helm! “Did you push me because you knew about the relationship between me and Kai?”
“This is why you acted grumpy at first. “After all, it comes from an unhappy future.”
A couple who met on a carriage and had a bad first impression.
Kainel and Ariel were smiling and approving my story.
Rather, they asked why they had kept such an important fact hidden until now.
“If it weren’t for Mr. Richt, I would have continued to live as a drunkard.”
“As we long for our lover who was forgotten by the power of ignorance.”
And then the voice from ahead is heard again.
This time, Dennis, a professor at the Academy, and White Magnolia, a Heavenly Demon from another world, spoke.
“If it weren’t for you, my beautiful daughter wouldn’t have existed in this world.”
White Magnolia and Dennis talked while looking at their daughter.
The time when the two meet is not now, but five years later.
“If it weren’t for my junior, I would have lived my whole life cursing myself for not being able to save my family and Shar.”
“Nex.. Don’t say that..”
“It’s true. “You can see my spirit now.”
A huge purple flame burning outside the window.
Nex’s phoenix had grown more gorgeous and elegant than Asha Aureus’s.
“If this is a strange plan, I will run away from here immediately. Know?”
People got up one by one and started participating in my plan.
Kiseok laughed and even joked.
“Disciple.”
Drake came in front of me and called me.
He grabbed my shoulder and patted me lightly before opening his mouth.
“What a difficult life you have had so far.”
“… “Master.”
“I knew that your eyes were those of someone who would soon die, but I never thought they would be like this….”
A voice oozing sadness.
He seems to have noticed that I have died countless times.
“The disciple works so hard… It’s embarrassing for a teacher to be called a teacher!”
“I couldn’t see this even with future predictions….”
The wise man spoke while covering his surprised mouth while looking at me.
Is it natural not to be able to see it?
My actions now are the same as the bravery of giving the ring to Fine.
I just wanted to avoid becoming the same person as the demon, Magic Hat.
If we do this, once we catch Heukun, the two will be able to connect naturally.
“Son-in-law, what exactly are your plans?”
Even Emperor Locke, who was watching the situation from afar, approached me and asked about my plan.
The idea I first came up with was simple.
Now, the Magic Hat guy will think that he has returned to the past alone.
‘I’m trying to trick him by making the most of that part.’
The failed past is not unnecessary.
Using that as a stepping stone, people always grow.
This is also a valuable fact I learned while working with Fine.
“Pretending to repeat the past…. “It will create new possibilities.”
I said as I handed over the magic sword Horizon to Fine.
Because she created a masterpiece using the armor I wore as a standard.
The reason why I actually mistook Fine for a man.
It would be perfect if you added a modulation spell here.
If you swap helmets and armor like this, no one will notice.
“I feel like I’m surrounded by Suhyeon.. hehehehe, I like it..”
“Fine, it feels strange when you talk like that.”
Pine wearing the armor I used to wear and happily enjoying the smell.
How much do you like me?
“There is no shame in things like this between married couples.”
“…….”
“… As expected, if you speak respectfully like a saint, you won’t be able to say anything. Fool.”
She put the glass helmet on me and gave me a small kiss.
“I will never lose to my future self.”
So thoroughly, as if stamping a confirmation stamp that was not yet stamped.
***
“K, keuhuhuhuh…” .”
“How does it feel to be subjected to the same things you often do?”
I put on the shiny glass armor and stabbed the guy in the heart.
What happened to this guy? Nothing has changed.
I thought that if she showed up wearing black knight armor, it would definitely be me, so I planned a plan.
“No words, no words..!! “I’m definitely a demon god..!!”
“Oh, that? “That’s just what they say anyway.”
Fine has already acquired the ability to control time and space.
She is also the character of Starter, the god of light, and Liset, the god of darkness.
“You lose because you worry about such things.”
Magic Hat is obsessed with superficial names and positions, such as a devil king or a warrior.
I said as I drove the sword harder into his heart.
If that was really important in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to beat this guy.
“Well, I’m not dying. With the ability of the successor—”
Chaaa!!
I pull out my sword against the guy whose mouth is still alive and cut him like a hack.
Use all the sword techniques you have learned so far.
Everything from shadow cutting to empty slashing, from falling with one sword to killing the devil.
“I pray that I would rather die. Because it’s better that way.”
I am holding the sword tightly while gritting my teeth.
Flesh and blood splattered on the armor, and the magic hat began to split into numerous pieces.
“Ka, kaaa!!”
After all, if you don’t do the Grand Route, you won’t die.
It looks like life is still clinging on tenaciously.
“You can’t kill me!!”
It would be natural since the succession system over there is not broken.
“Even if I repeat it like this, it is meaningless….”
“It’s noisy. “Don’t try to surpass my husband.”
Fine, who was soon freed from the guy’s restraints, got angry and stabbed him with a sword strike.
The magic hat broke every time it was played as the sword paths crossed each other.
“Stop that.. Baby..!!”
The magic hat guy with bleeding eyes and mouth must have had a hard time imitating Fine.
It had already taken its original form.
The form of a magician resembling a black shadow from head to toe.
What is left for this guy who can no longer use the power of a demon god?
“These damn bastards…. How dare you, how dare you.. Try to complete the grand route?!!”
Magic Hat was looking at me and Fine and speaking as if she felt unfair.
Playing the Trump card and summoning his minions had already become a ruin for both of us.
“You won’t know. “Your comrades have already been defeated!!”
“……”
Is it because they don’t want to admit defeat, or because they want to let me know that they can’t change their fate?
“If it’s not the Grand Route… You can never overturn the decided result! “I didn’t bring the demon lords here for nothing!”
Magic Hat was laughing like a crazy person and talking nonsense towards me and Fine.
If it were the original history, it would have been like that.
Even in the game, the devil cannot be caught without the player’s help.
“I already know that much.”
“Yes!! If you don’t clear this space immediately and go rescue your colleagues, they will all die….”
However, this is not a game, it is reality.
A reality that can make the impossible possible.
“There is no need for that. “I am a warrior of ideology.”
I opened my mouth while looking at the guy.
Not the ideology of an ideal idea, but an ideology that refers to a different idea.
I combined my image with the helmet that Fine made for me.
“Because I, in another world line, would also hate you.”
I had called myself here from another world line, just like Fine did.
***
A battlefield where each of the colleagues except Lee Soo-hyun was fighting against the devil.
At first, it seemed like they were going through difficulties without him.
“Hey, what should I call you guys..? “I understand that you are the same person as Mr. Tugu.”
“Well.. What should I call it…?” .”
Soon, men wearing black helmets appeared and cut down the demon lords.
“Can’t I just call him Licht..?”
Cainel and Ariel crossed their arms and pondered, as if they didn’t like the words themselves.
And at the same time, they made eye contact, grinned, and said the same thing.
“”Academy’s Pure Love Black Knight!””
