I Became the Dark Wizard Who Rules Over the Heroines - Chapter 77



77 – Flame-4

Lilian couldn’t believe the elder’s words.

She is someone who knows very well what she has done. The traces remained vivid on Carbosa’s skin

Even if she tried to forget, she wouldn’t be able to. Even if you try to erase them from your mind, the memories of the dead will persist and appear at night.

Because Lilian said that. There was no way that the elder who was in more pain than anyone else and the elder who was more passionate about rescuing survivors than anyone else would not do that.

“That can’t be possible.”

“Oh, that could be true. Think about it. Who else would be capable of using this kind of black magic other than the man behind you?”

Lilian did not understand Carbosa’s calm expression. It seemed like she would never know.

“But, but! It’s Katharine, right? I thought you would kill her right away-“

“It wasn’t easy to endure murderous intent.”

“…”

“I planned to kill him someday. If this operation is successful, even if I use all my means and methods, I will kill him.”

Elves basically have a laid-back personality.

Remember for a long time and do not forget unfinished business.

For a human, ‘revenge that took twenty years’is the achievement of a great goal that he devoted his entire life to, but for an elf, it is just one of the many events that pass by in his life.

Although Lilian was a young elf, it did not mean that she did not understand the way of thinking.

“Even if I don’t want to, I will die when the time comes.”

“What is that…?”

“You deserve to hear this. Not your friends behind you, but it doesn’t matter because you’re going to die anyway.”

Carbossa nodded his head and slowly opened his mouth.

“Lilian. I still remember. “I saved you with my own hands.”

“I, too, remember! Elder Carbossa saved me! But why, why now…”

While they were talking, Lilian’s colleague was not resting.

Wade’s magic is pulling the arms and legs of those who survived and moved them to a safe place. Claire uses healing spells non-stop to keep them breathing.

“Are you doing this…?”

Lilian cried and shouted.

The atmosphere was unusual. The elves from her hometown like Carbosa, who were in front of her, were not the ones she knew.

I couldn’t understand that.

Just yesterday, I was running around the trees near the village and having fun as if I was back in my childhood.

We talked about how we lived with each other and about the new friends we met at the academy.

It was fun. Happy. Lilian truly thought so.

“You know! What a painful situation these people are in! Better than me, better than me! You know better than me, who has never been touched by fire!”

So, Lilian could not understand Karbossa.

If it were someone else, if it was someone who never knew the fear of fire and demonic energy throughout its life her, if it was someone who didn’t know the pain, I might be able to accept it.

But Carbossa should not show this attitude. It was a waste of time to waste arguing right now.

“Ha…”

Carbossa shook his head, as if he was truly sorry.

“Lilian. I think you can understand.”

“…Yes?”

On the contrary, Carbosa was looking at Lilian with pity in her eyes.

“Others don’t know. What that forest meant to us. But… You do know.”

Lilian and Carbossa’s eyes meet.

“Have you ever thought that what’s left is… Unfair?”

“Yes?”

“Our world was the forest. And it… Everything burned down.”

It burned.

It was burning. The forest I protected like my life, the colleagues I protected like my own body.

A terrible, ugly black fire was devouring everything. The forest was filled with unforgivable sins.

“Have you ever thought that you resent the things that remain?”

Karbosa’s words pierced Lilian’s heart.

“That’s…”

It was a lie. Even hesitation was a deception.

I’ve always thought that way my whole life.

Adapting to human society in the body of an elf was not easy.

Fortunately, she came out of the forest at an age when she was so young that she was no different from a newborn, and she would not be considered an adult even by human standards, so it was not difficult for her to adapt to their culture her.

Drinking alcohol, eating meat cooked over an acrid fire, and making money by doing things other than living off of fruit from trees.

And, the contempt I received in the process was countless.

Every time I worked, I had to suffer from countless curses and harassment. It was difficult to find a place to live and a place to live.

She felt better after becoming an adventurer, but not all of the problems that faced her were resolved.

She heard the curse countless times, ‘Why can’t elves do this?’ When she heard, ‘She’s not even an elf,’ she felt like she was shaking.

Nevertheless, she had no choice but to admit it.

The people who were around Lilian were extremely good people. Therefore, it was only possible to look down on her and ridicule her at ‘just that level’.

I was lucky enough to save a nobleman who was playing adventurer, and to be noticed by such a kind-hearted noblewoman and gain the right to enter the academy.

In all, there wasn’t a single thing that didn’t involve some luck.

“I… Saved it. Even after that terrible thing happened, there weren’t any scattered elves.”

Carbossa’s words were as deep and deep as her actions and her age.

“Those whose arms and legs were still intact were somehow able to live well… But those whose arms and legs had rotted away were in such great pain that they wished they would die.”

“…”

“There was an elf who had lost his appearance, arms, and legs and accepted countless guests in the window. When I arrived, it was too late.”

Finding money was not easy. An elder moving outside the forest may have basic travel expenses, but he does not have enough money to maintain a survivor community.

After healing the remaining people, protecting them from danger, and earning money, Carbossa, who tried to save the elf he could not find, had no choice but to despair.

“I killed them with my own hands. More than ten elves, if you add up the time they lived together, it would have been hundreds of years… I ended it with my own hands.”

“Elder…”

“I took revenge. There were too many of them to do it with my own hands and it was difficult to find them, so I borrowed the help of the Assassin’s Guild. I was a regular. I even got a discount.”

Her eyes were as dark and filled with hatred as pitch black, but her tone of voice was much calmer and more refined than that.

Even her feelings of shame and sadness had become numb. Lillian could know that.

“I killed the human who kidnapped the elves. I killed the human who abused them. I killed the human who committed violence. But as I was killing and killing again… A thought occurred to me.”

“…”

“There is no ordinary person in that crime. All humans lived their lives accepting the existence of Katharine and the fact that a warlock did such a thing.”

Lillian had no right to speak. No matter what she does, she will never be able to understand the pain that Carbossa feels.

“Using a warlock to catch monsters, using a warlock to defeat the enemy… It was the same no matter where I went.”

A deep, dark hatred stirred within her chest.

“Whether the forest burned or the elves suffered… It didn’t matter to them.”

No matter how strong the warlocks were, there was no way they could survive if all humans prevented their crimes against the elves and if the warlocks were prevented from gaining power through sin at the same time.

It is recognized as necessary. It is a way for merchants to obtain strong escorts at a cheaper price, and for the nation to have powerful power that it does not matter if it is used or thrown away.

“Then… Wouldn’t it be fair for us, who lost that forest, and those whose world was burned down… To burn their world together?”

“No… It is.”

However, Lilian could not acknowledge Carbossa.

“There are people alive! I won a prize this time and saved some money! If we find a new forest, or even if we don’t, if we create a village where elves can live-“

Yet, she hasn’t lost her hope. Carbossa, looking into Lilian’s eyes, realized that fact.

“It can happen again!”

Hoping to reach Karbossa’s her heart her her her, Lilian cried out a heartfelt appeal.

But she couldn’t reach it.

“Lilian.”

“…Yes?”

“Yes. If there is an elf with a strong will like you, it may be possible to rise again somewhere.”

As for Lilian, she didn’t want to answer.

Carbossa’s eyes were telling us the reality.

“But… My hometown is not Hergan Forest.”

From noble mtl dot come

It was a word that seemed unrelated at first glance, but Lilian realized its meaning and despaired.

“How many times do you think I have had to move the forest? How many times have I had to lose precious people to the malice of humans and warlocks?”

Elves have a lot of experience.

So Car Bossa was able to look at Lilian through her pitiful eyes. She has no words, no thoughts, no will, no talent. Because she was a child who looked like her.

“That is meaningless.”

There was deep despair on her lips

“I have no choice but to burn everything…”

That despair was transferred to Lilian’s eyes
