I Became the Dark Wizard Who Rules Over the Heroines - Chapter 78



78 – Flame-5

‘It’s not the worst. First of all, it’s not the worst.’

What was important was time.

I feel terrible pain and terrible death. I wanted to save as many people as possible, but I wasn’t able to save them all.

‘If all these people had died…’

It’s a city. It is a space where ordinary people are crowded together.

If I hadn’t intervened, at least a few hundred people would have died.

Of course, people’s lives are important, but what is more important is that their lives and suffering turn into ‘evil acts’.

‘Carbossa…’

Now she is, in fact, no different from a black magician. She is a human who can derive her power by offering the pain and death of others to the devil.

I know that too, so I threw the Paladins, who I could have probably won in a normal fight, at Olivia and rushed over.

‘He’s doing well. Lilian…’

She had no illusions that she could persuade Carbossa.

The situation is not so clumsy that it can be resolved with just a few sincere words. Rather, there was a greater possibility that the opposite situation would occur.

A situation where Lilian is not persuading Karbossa with words, but Karbossa is persuading Lilian with words.

Carbosa will be hoping for that too. Even though she gave up a lot, she was still one of the elf elders.

If necessary, you can use your bow against your colleagues, but that doesn’t mean it’s a pleasant thing to do. I will try to convince you somehow.

And that time became an extremely valuable resource to me.

‘Almost everyone who could be saved was saved…’

My body stood still behind Lilian, but the magic energy was constantly moving.

Together with Claire, we saved, pushed out, and evacuated people.

‘It seems like they noticed that too…’

There is no way that all the elves here have accepted the power of darkness. Even if that were the case, there’s no way they would truly think, ‘We have to kill everyone here right now.’

They turned a blind eye to my rescue. He wasn’t running away from my sight, preparing for a fight, or plotting an insidious plan.

However, I couldn’t continue to relax.

Because the conversation between the two was slowly coming to an end.

“You will understand.”

“No. I will never, ever understand! I!”

Lilian tightened her grip on her bow.

“It’s okay to say I’m full. It’s okay to think that I’m saying this because I’m living happily alone while other elves are suffering!”

I nodded slowly.

‘Is this what happened…’

The pain that Lilian experienced was probably not that great compared to the pain that her other elves experienced. In the first place, the fact that she entered the academy meant that a certain level of happiness was guaranteed.

Therefore, she cannot empathize. Even if we know why Carbossa had such feelings, we cannot admit it.

I can’t help but want to burn the world.

“Here are my friends. I know it’s too much to say this, but still, still… I don’t like this, please, please stop…”

She was screaming. She shook her head as if she felt sorry for Car Bossa.

“…I won’t ask you to join us. Can you just get out of the way?”

Lilian’s body trembled.

“Even if you’re holding my bow right now… You can’t stop me like that. You know that.”

Many elves were looking at Lilian with worried eyes.

“I don’t want to hurt you. But, can you believe me?”

“…”

Just doing this much is enough. Lilian, too, would know very well that she could not fight against Carbosa with her own strength.

Although she somehow managed to defeat Kelin, there was no way she would be able to fight and win against Carbossa.

“I can’t do it.”

However, Lilian did not give up.

“Anyway, if everything goes according to the elder’s plan… I’ll die too, right?”

“We do not disappear alone. We all disappear together. We disappear by making our feelings known to those who despised us and made us suffer.”

That’s not elf-like. She had no respect for nature or obsession with the stability of her forest.

She couldn’t help it. In the first place, there was nothing left for Carbossa.

“I don’t like it though. I don’t want to die. I don’t know about Kellin… But her remaining friends are still precious to me.”

Lilian drew his bow her

“I’m going to fight.”

“I’m going to die.”

“Someday… If I have to die, I’ll die fighting for her friend!”

It was an achievement that exceeded my expectations. She couldn’t leave it to her any longer.

“Thank you, Lilian.”

The elf looked at Kellin sitting behind me with a miserable face.

“I’m not doing this for that woman.”

“I know. When the time comes… I’ll make her pay, one way or another.”

Carbossa’s gaze was aimed at me, not Lilian.

A gaze that is harsh, sharp, and as cold as hell fire.

“Yes… You are that Wade. Thank you for being good friends with Lilian.”

“Thank you. The kid must be so good. I didn’t do anything.”

“Even so … If she would risk her life to protect her her friend her her her, there must have been a good reason. As an Elder of the Burned Forest, I offer my sincere gratitude.”

She lowered her head slightly.

“So, get out of the way. Our plan won’t end, but as a human, you’ll still have a lot of time left.”

“…”

“A warlock of your caliber might be able to survive with the devil’s grace. Even if not, you might be able to live for a few more years.”

I was a little embarrassed. I never thought that Carbossa was a person who would say such kind words to others.

“So, do you plan on seeing me if I run away now?”

“Live with only your arms and legs, eyes and tongue exposed. Because you have good friends, the rest of your life will not be so difficult.”

“That won’t work.”

Even if I admit it personally, even though it was heartbreaking to have to kill Lilian and her friend, I couldn’t say it was that big of a deal.

She’s going to try to kill me anyway.

Because she was a person whose desire to burn the world was greater than her desire to share the pain she felt.

“People were roughly evacuated. It’s not like I have a lot of time left…”

This was urgent right now, so I took some time, but it was unclear how long Olivia would be able to hold out.

“Slowly, let’s start, right?”

Before I could finish speaking, her arrow flew towards my heart.

“Okay, it’s over…”

Olivia, who was sitting on the ground, was panting heavily.

Although she won, she was not an easy opponent.

“You say you’re a Heretic Questioner, and you use the sword so dirty…”

Her swordsmanship She was proper swordsmanship. However, the Heretic Questioner’s sword skills were not that lacking.

‘I think I can…’ ‘ ‘

I feel it. Demonic energy is overflowing through her body.

There is no need for her to make delicate magical distribution, nor is there any reason to worry about whether she will win or lose in a power contest with an enemy. Because she was always the winner.

Nevertheless, she was slowly beginning to feel her limitations.

‘The body, is…’

Rather than being consumed by demonic energy, a similar problem was occurring as her body was being damaged by excessive mana.

That power isn’t particularly dangerous. They are not eating away at her body with malicious intent or poison.

But it was too big.

‘If I don’t control it… It won’t work.’

Water does not harm the body. Although you may die if you lack it, drinking it itself does not have any negative effects on your body.

However, a person who falls into the sea can die just by drinking water.

“Still, I don’t think there will be any more fighting. I think I can rest for a while and then return to my lord-“

Olivia paused for a moment as she heard her heavy steps approaching.

Soon, the owner of those steps was revealed.

“Rain, Sir Wilhelm!”

“Are you the one who brought down these children?”

The way Wilhelm looked at Olivia was full of anger, but the way Olivia looked at Wilhelm was full of relief and respect.

“Yes, yes! Well, it looks like the information was entered incorrectly. They didn’t kill him, and he didn’t seriously injure them either. Still, I’m glad Lord Wilhelm is here.”

“Huh…”

The old paladin looked at the fallen paladin and then at Olivia.

“It’s an honor to meet you in a place like this! I’ve always respected you!”

This is a man who fought against countless warlocks and protected the innocent. There were quite a few songs that sang about Wilhelm’s honor, major, beliefs and beliefs.

“I see. Whoa. For someone who colluded with a warlock, there was an honorable person…”

Wilhelm, who checked the condition of her Holy Knights, could tell that she had put in a lot of effort to keep them alive.

“…It was also the master’s order.”

“Is that your master? Hmm… Good.”

Wilhelm drew his sword her

“You were polite first, so this time I should also be polite.”

Olivia’s expression her her her froze. Wilhelm’s expression showed her infinite confidence.

“I won’t kill you. Not right now.”
