Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 651



651. Nine Apostles – Eusilia

***

-Nine apostles.

Needless to say, the biggest difference from the fate of this world as I knew it was the danger of the ‘Nine Apostles’.

The original story had a happy ending with the performance of the main character, Leonhard, but there were nine threatening apostles in this world, and they could be said to be a much bigger threat.

Of course, even if you think that the trials that Leonhard overcame were not weak, the nine apostles were different from those trials.

I knew this because I had indirectly seen the original apostle through Eustea.

Omniscient and omnipotent.

It was safe to say that the beginning apostle at the end of the apostles was an almost divine being.

Eustea fights desperately, and in the end, even though she burns her own soul and fights with even greater power, she is unable to reach the original apostle. She breathes new life into Eustea, who was supposed to face death at the end, and stays alive. It was also the apostle from the beginning who made it happen.

Even looking at that fact alone, the original apostle was no longer simply an ‘apostle’.

More fundamentally… … .

‘There’s something.’

There were too many things that were unclear to just think of him as an apostle and a being to be hostile to. Why has such a powerful being not destroyed this world yet, and why is this fragile peace still maintained?

“I thought you were going to ask me right away, but I guess you have more to worry about than I thought?”

I smiled awkwardly as I saw Azazel asking a question.

What should we really ask, or rather, what should we ask to arrive at a ‘complete answer’? I felt like my head was going to explode at any moment.

But among so many questions, I felt like I needed to know just one thing.

Then, surprisingly, I was able to speak easily.

“The apostle in the beginning… … “Are you still alive?”

“… … !”

For a moment, my heart shook as I saw Azazel with his eyes raised. Maybe I was wasting such an important opportunity.

There is no way that the original apostle that Eustea could not reach died. It was natural to think that it might still exist, beyond the limits of life.

However, I couldn’t be sure of anything unless I properly confirmed this fact.

Nine apostles.

Because we need to be sure about the existence of the original apostle who went beyond that.

That time when I waited so earnestly for an answer. Azazel opened his mouth very slowly.

“You can say it’s alive, or you can say it’s dead.”

“what… … ?”

I expected the answer to be alive, but Azazel’s answer was completely different from what I expected.

“Honestly, I don’t think I need to tell you any more than this, but I’ll be honest with you anyway. “It seems like you already know about the nine apostles.”

As Azazel calmly spoke, I shook my head without realizing it.

“No, I don’t know exactly about the nine apostles in detail. “All I know is that two of you are dead.”

I thought I should face Azazel more truthfully, who seemed strangely sincere.

It was as if I caught a string from her answer. It’s such a thin string that you never know when it might break.

But it seemed like if this string was cut, everything would end like this.

“You even know about the deaths of O’Fanille and Angelea—ha, you really always exceed my expectations.”

Azazel burst out laughing and slowly shook her head, and I could only stare blankly at her shaking black hair.

Even that was strange.

Two of the nine apostles died together with Redric Petelea, who was the main protagonist. Even as he thought about how influential Red Rick Petela’s final light had been, he felt something strange.

‘I’m not as shaken as I thought.’

Azazel had no reaction to the fact that two of the nine apostles had died.

Tuk.

Just like that, Azazel stopped laughing and gently faced me.

“Eucilia.”

And when she said one word, I thought back to the name blankly.

“… … Eusilia.”

“This is all I can answer to what you want to know about the original apostle. The fact that most of the power of the original apostle was passed on to Eusilia, and the will of the original apostle also lives with Eusilia. “That’s why I answered you that way.”

I naturally understood what she said.

Why do you say you are alive when you are dead?

‘Eucilia.’

Even as I thought back to the name Azazel said, I couldn’t express my feelings right away.

Really… … . It was strange.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the reason I tried to confirm the existence of the original apostle was purely because I wanted to confirm the ‘worst’. In order for me to face the reality of moving forward, I need to know that the original apostle still exists.

But the answer I received was not the worst I had assumed.

‘Eucilia gives power to the other nine apostles and exercises her will–.’

In that case, it was quite possible that the original apostle was not close to the omniscience and omnipotence that I remember. And assuming it is not a divine being.

‘It’s not impossible to fight back.’

For some reason, the situation was going extremely strangely.

Even though I did not know why the original apostle did not maintain his life or why he gave his power to one of the nine apostles named Eusilia, I once again felt a clear ‘possibility’.

In other words, the great truth that should be called hope… … .

Even as I raised my head, I erased all thoughts.

“Thank you, Azazel. “For answering me so much.”

Anyway, Azazel taught me a very big truth.

“I just said it because I wanted to say it too. Because I didn’t think I would lose that much. “It is my personal will.”

Azazel smiled calmly and looked very light. Her words and actions felt a little different from before. Looking at her like that, I was also able to smile like her.

Even though it was an extremely heavy truth, it was great to learn it this way.

A being that I should be hostile to.

‘Eucilia.’

Among the nine apostles, she definitely possesses strength beyond standard. Therefore, I also knew what I should aim for.

Rather than vaguely thinking about opposing the apostle, I must clearly develop my strength.

“Oh, and aside from answering your question, I have something more to say to you.”

“Speak comfortably.”

I was clearing my head by calmly answering Azazel’s voice.

“Eucilia probably knows about you now.”

When the name Eusilia came out of her mouth again, my eyes widened for a moment. And there was something there that could not be overlooked at all.

“… … “You know about me?”

“I’m sure you know by now that you have grown so much and that you have demonstrated the power of Eustea.”

Azazel spoke calmly and was staring into space.

I had a vague intuition as I watched that action, as if I was thinking of another being beyond this space.

‘Are they connected?’

The suspicion that Eusilia and Azazel might have some connection immediately rose in my mind.

“Why are you telling me that?”

When asked exactly the question that came to mind, Azazel burst out laughing.

It felt as if Azazel had changed greatly through his very cool smile.

“Well, I want to see it with my own eyes. “How active you will be in the future, and whether you will be able to survive without being sealed.”

“… … “Are you saying you don’t want me to be sealed?”

“I wonder if you think that much of me. Well, that might not be completely wrong either. At first, I also thought about sealing you away… … . “I’m a little more excited about it now.”

Her words, spoken lightly, were not light at all.

Extremely heavy content.

And among them, there was one thing that struck me as very strange.

‘expectation.’

I thought Azazel was trying to see Eustea’s shadow, or perhaps her power, in me. And I thought I proved it to some extent in this game. But Azazel is now trying to see ‘something more’ in me.

‘that is… … ‘What does it mean?’

Azazel has a reason to hang a trestle on me.

“Wait a minute, then what do you expect from me… … .”

“it’s okay. The question ends here. Do you think I’ve already told you too much just from what I’ve told you? no?”

I was left speechless as I saw her lightly cutting me off.

“… … yes.”

I nodded absentmindedly and smiled awkwardly.

The line was drawn so firmly that it seemed as if favors only ended here, so I had nothing to say.

“Thank you for just this. “I won’t ask any more questions.”

***

“Thank you for just this. “I won’t ask any more questions.”

After saying the last words, Han Tiansheng fell into deep thought. Looking at that, Azazel didn’t have anything to say.

As if only what had to be said was said and the conversation between the two was over.

Glancing.

Azazel looked at his body and nodded.

‘I’m all better.’

When I looked at my body, the shoulder that had been pierced by the spear was completely restored and there were no major problems with my body.

There is no problem in moving right now.

At the same time, my heart felt so light. That was so strangely funny.

We lost the game and did not perform as expected.

Instead of doing my part, I just felt strange.

‘Because it has no meaning to me anyway.’

There is still a part of my heart that hates and hates humans. However, Han Cheon-seong was an exception.

Even if I could seal Han Tiansheng now, there would be no benefit to me.

It was still like that now.

“… … .”

Occasionally, when I see Han Tiansheng frowning or lost in thought, my life feels a little empty.

‘Once I seal Han Cheon-seong, what will be left of my life after that?’

For me, as a human being, it was all about delicious food and Han Cheon-seong, which were entertainment. However, if I were to give up one of them and complete the great plan created by Eusilia and kill all humans, would I be truly happy at the end?

For the first time, I had doubts about it.

Before I brought up the topic of Eusilia, I had never even thought about such a thing. It was something I suddenly realized.

‘For me, who has become completely human… … .’

By killing all humans, all that remains is a very brief moment of pleasure and satisfaction. After that there will really be nothing left.

No, rather, only strong restrictions will remain with me.

An unprecedented power that exists in my body. But as long as Eusilia, the origin of my strength, was alive, there was no freedom for me.

So I made up my mind too.

By watching Han Cheon-seong, and by watching the human chosen by Eustea, I find another answer… … .

In addition, by intentionally spilling information about Eusilia, Eusilia and Han Cheon-seong become aware of each other.

“Good.”

“… … uh?”

“I just like you.”

Even as I burst out laughing, I was filled with pure joy.

‘How far can Han Tiansheng go?’
