Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 630
630. The path forward and Eustea’s will
***
“Because the truth is there that you still haven’t sealed me.”
Even as I spoke, I felt like I had thrown a stone.
It is also a stone that should never be thrown. Even though I knew I shouldn’t cause ripples in a calm lake, it felt like I had caused a big ripple.
But there was already no turning back for him.
‘A crossroads of fate.’
The direction suggested was always true for me. And I was getting the point.
In the past, when I twisted the fate of this world, when I refused to move forward as destined. I saved Karite and chose to continue facing the Apostle afterwards.
It was all my choice.
And I didn’t regret it. That’s why I chose this time too.
Even if my body shows such strong resistance, I think I have to do it.
From noble mtl dot come
“… … .”
In my brief thoughts, I looked at Azazel’s reaction.
The sight of her blinking blankly and looking at me was different from before.
She had been answering my words cleverly, as if with ease or deception, but now, for the first time, she was showing a different attitude. It also looks completely different.
Although he had taken my words with interest before, this was the first time Azazel had reacted this loudly.
‘There is a possibility.’
It clearly existed too.
-Possibility of appeasing Azazel.
If we can appease the powerful apostle known as the Nine Apostles, the fate of this world will be completely changed. And in an unprecedentedly good way.
And there will be a gap.
“under… … .”
Seeing Azazel laughing, I pushed harder.
“I want you to think about it seriously.”
Even now, as I look at her, I cannot see what Azazel is thinking. But there is definitely a response.
Then I shouldn’t have stopped.
“That’s really amazing. I’m not sealing you… … .”
Then, when Azazel cleverly narrowed his eyes, I felt my whole body tense up the moment I stared into those eyes. It felt like her body was just shrinking.
Like an herbivore facing a natural enemy, a huge sense of tension immediately filled my mind.
“Then there is. “You speak first.”
“… … first?”
“I need to know why you suddenly changed like this today. I don’t care if you call me an apostle or anything else. Because whether I deny it or not, you are already looking at me that way. So I have to listen to you first.”
Azazel’s calm voice was extremely calm, unlike before. And I was momentarily conflicted by the meaning contained in those words.
‘Should I reveal everything?’
Considering the conditions she first gave me, I definitely had some intention of telling the truth. But I was worried about where to start and how much to reveal.
Today, I have become aware of the origins of Shinchang Eustea and have been able to possess fragments of its power and some of its memories.
however. Is it okay for me to reveal all of that to Azazel, who can’t be said to have properly appeased her yet?
But that conflict lasted only a moment.
“good.”
“Then try to explain it in as much detail as possible, I don’t care how long it takes.”
When Azazel changed his attitude as if he was going to listen to my story in earnest, I sighed inwardly and composed myself.
‘entire.’
Everything had to be said.
I have already thrown the stone and there is no turning back. But it was even funnier to be in conflict now.
“About Sinchang Eustea, I heard the name for the first time today. And by becoming aware of that name, I realized the origin of my power.”
Even though I spoke slowly, my hands were shaking slightly.
Just saying Eustea’s name in front of Azazel made the feelings of rejection that I already felt much worse.
“That’s why it’s changed so much.”
“Yes, that’s why it was able to change like this. A part of the power that Shinchang Eustea possessed, no. To be more precise, I would say it is a piece of extremely small power. In addition, along with some of his memories, I have completely redefined the path I will take.”
“That’s a very interesting story. So what does that have to do with me? Even though you told me you wanted to know the truth, I have nothing to tell you. “I don’t know much about Sinchang Eustea.”
As Azazel spoke calmly, I realized it without realizing it.
‘truth.’
What she said was almost the truth. I also felt it to some extent. Aside from realizing the divine spear Eustea, the origin of power, the connection with Azazel is in some ways minimal.
Most of the apostles in Eustea’s memories were about the ‘original apostles’.
Just as there are now nine apostles in this world who are not the original apostles. Maybe Azazel would be like that too.
They may have been trying to find traces of Sinchang Eustea in me, not me.
‘But it doesn’t change.’
In fact, my mind became stronger than before.
Rather, I felt like I understood it only now. Why is my body so resistant to being with Azazel right now?
‘It is Eustea’s will.’
Even though I only inherited a piece of that power, I feel this level of rejection.
My body did not want to accept the fact that I was close to the apostle. And just as hatred was building up in my heart, I could naturally understand that negative feelings towards Azazel were building up as well.
That’s why even more so.
I had to face Azazel.
“Rather, there must be more truth about you that I don’t know.”
As he spoke, he slowly put me down.
Even though I expose myself completely defenseless… … She let her emotions build up and flow them out with a light breath.
This was the best for me right now.
To continue the conversation with Azazel, I had to release all my strength. I don’t want her to grab her spear and swing it at her as she pleases.
“… … .”
Azazel kept his mouth shut as if he had something to think deeply about. As I calmly waited for the next words to come from her mouth, my mind was also very complicated.
It was completely contradictory.
The more I talked to Azazel, the more I realized.
The power of Shinchang Eustea, which can be said to be the origin of my power. And I knew his will. I knew this instinctively even before I knew Eustea’s name.
‘Endless hatred for the Apostle.’
He resists the apostle with strong will. In the past, when I was sealed, I saw that scene countless times. No matter how much the original apostle tried to surrender Eustea’s will by trapping her in various trials, Eustea did not break.
Rather, the more he did it, the more his heart burned and he endured for a time that was close to eternity.
With an absolute will to annihilate all apostles existing in the world.
‘But it’s also different from that.’
The path I will take. There, along with the words “crossroads of fate,” it illuminated “possibility.”
Exterminating the apostles is not the only answer, but shows a completely different path. That was a path that ran counter to Eustea’s more conscious will.
And the decision I made between them was ‘both’.
Continuing Eustea’s will, she confronts the Apostle, but if possible, she persuades Azazel.
Perhaps it seemed like a contradiction.
Even though I knew full well that trying to do both was probably greed and an extremely contradictory contradiction, I felt like I had to do it.
‘Eostea was definitely not defeated by the original apostle.’
I think that his strong will is something truly ‘divine’ that is difficult to achieve no matter how much I pursue and try to achieve it.
But I have ‘already’ seen the results.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the fate of the past and the future, and the fate that Sinchang Eustea faces. No matter how strong her will and power, Eustea could not overcome the original apostle.
That was the result.
therefore. I have chosen.
-Both things must be done.
While continuing Eustea’s strong will, if there is even a slim possibility, I must appease the absolute beings called the Nine Apostles.
Otherwise, I had concluded that I could not overcome the overall evil called Apostle in this world.
Originally, it was the happy ending that Leonhard reached in the original work.
There were no nine apostles in that process.
That meant a fate completely different from this world. Even though I did not think that the ordeal that Leonhard had overcome until the end was weak, I was clearly aware of the difference.
The trials I have to face and overcome in this world are incomparably superior to the trials Leonhard overcame.
The transcendent power of Shinchang Eustea exceeded the level that Leonhard ultimately reached in the original work.
Now that I have inherited his power, I can be sure of that.
“Han Tiansheng.”
The moment I completely composed myself, I heard a light voice. As I slowly raised my head, I saw Azazel with a strange smile in my field of vision.
“Say it, Azazel.”
“I thought about your words carefully. Not only is it true that you are showing complete sincerity towards me, but everything else you said was also interesting. So I won’t hide it anymore. Because you showed sincerity. “I also have to show some sincerity.”
The nonchalant words struck me as an extremely foreign thought.
‘This easy… … ?’
Because I felt like Azazel agreed with my wishes. It was a different feeling from the strange attitude I had before.
“First of all, I am a person. “He’s not the kind of apostle you think he is.”
The corner of my eyes frowned for a moment at the sudden voice.
It sounded like a play on words.
I confirmed along the way that she was an apostle and then became a human being, so her words were a truth that could not be cleverly denied.
“Nevertheless, as you said, I am related to the Apostle.”
As the words continued, I looked at her in silence.
And there had to be something more to it than that.
“And you said the truth lies in why I won’t seal you away.”
“Yes, why are you so interested in me even though you can seal me? That’s because there’s something else I want. no?”
He said it calmly and I thought that was the answer.
Azazel clearly wants something from me. Even though there have been countless opportunities, there is something that has not sealed me and wants something from me.
That would be the truth.
“You see right through me to such an extent that it’s amazing. “I will admit that much.”
Through her refreshing voice, I concentrated more. It was an indescribably strange feeling.
Azazel’s strange attitude is as if he agrees with what I’m saying, but then again, it doesn’t seem like that.
Even now, the pretty lines around her eyes didn’t feel good to me.
“But there it is. “Is it really such a big deal that I didn’t seal you?”
My heart seemed to freeze coldly as the voice rang leisurely.
“what… … ?”
“Is there really such a thing as the truth you hope for? “Even though I think about it, I’m not really sure.”
Azazel smiled even brighter.
