Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 652
652. Remnants left by the original apostle
***
ㅡㅡㅡ!
A strange wave rises.
A wave that quietly shakes the deep darkness. And the wave soon spread into deeper darkness.
A remote space far from the empire.
The darkness, untouched by anyone except one person throughout the centuries, responded to the waves with strange waves.
Monsters pouring into the front lines every day, and an overwhelming number of apostles that cannot be explained. A darkness that holds a huge truth that every officer on the front lines wants to know.
In that darkness, Eusilia slowly opened her eyes.
Grumbling.
The cold white silver hair made a brilliant presence even in the pitch-black darkness.
“Azazel… … .”
As I realized the wave of memories that had been conveyed, the corners of my eyes became slightly blurred.
It was different from what I expected.
A strange future that is different from the future that was predicted. She didn’t have high expectations for Azazel, but she also didn’t expect him to see a future like this.
“It’s not like they’re sealing it, they’re just telling a person named Han Cheon-seong more.”
This was something beyond my expectations.
Azazel, who once hated humans and hated them so much, developed strange feelings through a piece of my power.
Originally, it wasn’t hostile and trying to kill humans, but it ended up feeling strangely interesting. Even though it was an effect of my power, it wasn’t a very pleasant reality.
Slurp.
A light breath escaped as he gently raised his hand.
I didn’t feel good as I watched the thick darkness react to my heart like waves.
I didn’t have high expectations, but at least I hoped that it wouldn’t deviate from what I expected. But even that went awry.
“I have to abandon Azazel.”
I didn’t feel right about using Azazel any more.
It wasn’t a prophecy or anything, it was pure intuition.
I had a strange intuition that the more I stimulated Azazel, the more I would give power to Han Tiansheng. In that case, it might have been better to think of Azazel as a throwaway card and not touch him for the time being.
As I looked back on my memories of Azazel, I felt many things.
Han Cheon-seong’s changes and growth.
Above all, being aware of Eustea was a harvest.
‘The power is growing even more.’
In my opinion, it was still only a weak power. But the speed was dramatically faster.
“… … .”
I was worried for a moment.
What to do with the grand plan? The grand plan that should be currently in progress has almost stopped.
It was thought that the great plan, which had been steadily progressing, would be divided by whether Azazel would completely seal Hancheonseong or not, but it went in a completely unexpected direction.
That’s the reality now. It wasn’t a good idea to proceed with the grand scheme.
Above all, among the people reflected in Azazel’s memories, there were more people I should pay attention to.
‘This isn’t good either.’
It was really not good.
Suddenly, other apostles came to mind.
In order to fill the void of O’Fanil and Angelea, who died along with the main axis, I have now increased my darkness and given greater power to other apostles.
Even though they are no longer nine apostles, their power itself has hardly decreased compared to before.
From noble mtl dot come
Rather, if you look at each individual’s strength, you can see that they have become stronger.
Because everyone accepted my power smoothly.
“Should we consider it fortunate that Azazel was not given greater power?”
Even as I was gathering my thoughts, I was worried.
If we proceed with the great plan even now, we can almost certainly bring down the empire. It was a fate that had already been decided. It’s not like everything we’ve prepared so far has been in vain.
But it still bothers me.
The fact is that Han Tiansheng is fully aware of Eustea’s origins and is achieving rapid growth. If he were to proceed with the Great Reign now, he could not ignore the possibility that Han Tiansheng’s growth rate would increase more steeply in the meantime.
‘Assuming the worst.’
It must also be taken into account that Han Tiansheng fully awakens Eustea’s power. Assuming that was the worst, it had to be prevented.
So what is the right way?
Now even I can’t be sure. To completely believe in the prophecy, the prophecy has already been distorted countless times.
Now that Azazel was deteriorating due to Agar, it was too risky to do anything hastily.
“It might be better to kill Han Tiansheng.”
I had that thought inadvertently.
Even if that power were to be transferred to another human in the future, it might be better to erase the human in front of you.
Although it was very important to completely seal Eustea’s power, the source of Han Tian-seong’s existence felt dangerous in itself.
The countless emotions Azazel felt while looking at Han Tian-seong spoke to me like that.
The human chosen by Eustea.
As centuries passed, no one was chosen, and only Han Tiansheng was chosen.
‘If only Han Tiansheng is killed, then surely… … .’
A lot of things will become easier.
Even if it’s not the best option.
While thinking, I naturally approached the source of my existence.
The enormous power of the original apostle that was left to me. Besides that, I realized the enormous memories she had.
Strong!
Even though I felt a burning sense of strangeness in my head, I forced myself to recall the memories.
Then, her memories came back to me as vividly as if she were alive. Afterwards, most of the memories I examined were mainly her memories of Justea.
She sealed Eustea and faced her for nearly eternity, and the countless emotions that came to mind when she saw Eustea were felt clearly.
Distrust, hatred, strange emotions, possibilities for humans… … .
It seemed as if countless pieces of emotion, which I couldn’t even name one, were swallowing me up all at once.
“… … .”
Now that I touched something that I had never thought of before, countless intense pains followed.
A terrible feeling, as if a heated iron were being shoved into my head. Still, I had to remember.
That way, I can be more aware of what I need to do.
[…] … I have to]
For a moment, I was stopped by a strange wave that rang in my head.
“… … !”
A darkness that was never mine tried to interfere with me. In this extremely unfamiliar experience, I focused my consciousness even more strongly.
[…] … certainly … … I have to… … ]
I blinked at the seemingly uninterrupted waves of unknown darkness.
“what… … Are you telling me to do it?”
The darkness that had interfered with me disappeared completely in an instant. After that, no matter how much I concentrated, I couldn’t hear anything anymore.
It was as if my body was rejecting the memory I was trying to recall clearly.
Sreuk.
Even as I clenched my hands, I couldn’t understand my body.
There was only one being that could interfere with me like this.
To put it bluntly, there are only apostles from the beginning. Because she can’t interfere with me, no matter who else she dares to be. In that case, this strange wave should also be seen as a remnant left behind by the apostle from the beginning.
A wave that seems to strongly suggest something to me.
And the biggest of those feelings was one.
“… … “I was hating.”
It’s also strangely strong.
However, the target was unclear. He had an intense hatred for something other than Eustea, who had been sealed away for nearly eons.
Even though my eyes were blurry, my mind was strangely agitated.
What should I do?
What should I choose next?
A feeling of standing at the crossroads of a great fate.
I was reminded in a daze of an overall sensation as if my body had disappeared and the world was projected onto me.
“… … “You have to delete the variable.”
The only being that shakes my emotions in such a strange way and even distorts my predetermined fate.
There was only one now.
ㅡHan Cheon-seong.
I sincerely thought that killing Han Tiansheng might be the best choice out of the many options.
Instead of creating a variable by clumsily sealing it, it is better to erase the variable completely and take the risk of it appearing later… … .
As soon as I made up my mind, an apostle came to mind.
An apostle who developed a close relationship with Azazel. Moreover, like Azazel, he is an apostle who is consumed with strong hatred and cannot assimilate to human emotions.
“Sekhmet.”

After morning, afternoon.
In the Grand Colosseum, spectators who had left their seats began to fill the seats again.
Jerk. Again… … .
The game played in the morning was great enough to satisfy all the spectators, but the game scheduled for the afternoon was different.
Good!
As the Colosseum host came on stage and slowly prepared to start the game, most of the audience looked at the stage with anticipation.
Among them, there were quite a few people who had even greater expectations than just the first game.
It was undeniable that the majority of the ‘male’ audience felt this way.
Again… .
And as if living up to their expectations, when a woman was revealed at each exit, the audience responded with huge cheers even though no one forced them to do so.
ㅡWow!!
Since both of the people competing now were women with exquisite beauty, it was probably a completely natural reaction for them.
… … .
ㅡWow!!
As a huge shout came through the wall, Cheonseong, who was in the waiting room, smiled involuntarily.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Uh, it’s okay. And there is nothing wrong with my body, Milia. You know that.”
“Still, I was worried for no reason and wondered if I was overdoing it.”
“But like Millia said, you can never overdo it, right?”
“okay. Still, thank you for your concern. Two people.”
Cheonseong smiled lightly in the waiting room at Milia and Karite, who were showing their concern.
‘How can you not watch this game?’
My body was completely healed and there was no problem at all, and I didn’t want to spend time in the treatment room until the afternoon. Above all, I thought that the person who would be my opponent in the finals should watch the match with my own eyes.
“Who do you think will win?”
I thought for a moment when I heard Glesia’s voice calmly ask me a question not far away.
-Neria Eudemia.
-Celestia Yurisian.
In some ways, the power possessed by the two women had very strong characteristics. All of them had legendary characteristics, but their powers were different, making it difficult to say who had the upper hand.
“If it were me, it would be Neria Eudemia.”
And before the game started, I thought that, based on probability, my opponent in the finals would be her.
“Neria… … .”
When Glesia nodded as if she agreed with what I said, I wasn’t really sure either.
‘Because Celestia is strong too.’
And now I just had to see it with my own eyes.
ㅡSecond game of the semifinals… !!
As I watched the host announce the start with a loud voice, my heart naturally grew with anticipation.
