I Became the Dark Wizard Who Rules Over the Heroines - Chapter 86
86 – Compromise-1
“…Carbossa appears to have been defeated.”
Katarin, standing proudly on a tall building, was watching their fight.
I didn’t even expect it. They were definitely strong, but that was all.
In a simple struggle of strength, you cannot win against him no matter what you do.
‘…But meaningless.’
In the first place, when going to war against an enemy so powerful that it could not be dealt with, the thing to do was not to fight from the front.
It’s just a fight where he isn’t around.
Katharine looked at the sacred object placed on the desk in silence.
I was seriously thinking about it. She really would have chosen it if she had not been given any means.
It is a great temptation. If she builds up honestly, she will have a power that she cannot obtain in her life.
If you have this, you will be able to create variables.
No matter how strange and infinitely powerful Wade is, if he makes a contract with Baal, he can definitely overturn the inferiority.
No known warlock would be able to control Katarin, who made a contract with Baal.
It was a devil that only appeared in history books. Most warlocks dismissed the existence of this devil as a legend.
On the contrary, all the warlocks who made a contract with Baal left their names in the history books.
He gained a notoriety that would terrify the entire continent. As long as there was a warlock who made a contract with Baal, no warlock could defy him.
There were people who destroyed half of the continent, and there were also people who destroyed the entire ecosystem of one region.
Some paleontologists inferred ‘creatures that existed in that region at that time’ through the limited literature information.
There is no need to kneel to anyone. You can do anything you want.
That enormous power was before her, her eyes, her
‘…’
Katharine looked down at her again.
Although Carbossa was not underestimating her danger, Katharine was not confident that she could be eliminated without harm.
He even kidnapped Carbossa by letting her elf follow him, leaving her alive.
“Ah, it’s Wilhelm this time.”
Wilhelm seemed to have suffered quite a deep wound in the first attack, but Katharine was able to immediately grasp the situation.
That doesn’t work. With Wilhelm’s power, no matter what he does, he cannot kill Wade.
Her holy relics tempted her. She whispered that if she laid her hand there, she would renounce her pact with Asmodeus and join her her with Baal, and this ridiculous farce going on beneath her could end.
“Ah…”
Katharine reached out her hand her to her her her her her holy relic her her her. She made a decision.
“Precious and beautiful master of darkness…”
At her touch her, the magical energy contained in the holy relic comes out.
“I, a mere human being, offer this to Erst Catherine…”
Her beautiful hands held a not-so-large sacred object.
The holy relic of Baal seemed excited, shaking with a red desire for destruction.
“Asmodeus, my mother’s kindest contractor.”
And her hands squeezed the sacred object.
“Hmm…”
I can feel the fishy scent of warm blood. Her her her her her ‘betrayal to Baal’her her, an enormous sacrifice that would be difficult for an ordinary human to make, gives her her her her her her her her.
The sound of Asmodeus giggling is heard. She felt immense satisfaction from Katharine’s actions.
“I am the ruler.”
Although she was a strong warlock, she did not lose her essence.
There was a need to protect what her dead mother left behind. There was a need to protect the family and territory that her father would inherit.
Katarin, who analyzed the characteristics of the demonic energy leaking from the holy relic, was able to infer the nature of Baal.
It was unconditional destruction. Destroying as many worlds as possible was his only goal.
She didn’t want that. Catherine’s purpose was always victory.
“…Are they not even good at taking time properly? Those people.”
When I looked back again, Wilhelm was dying.
It can’t be too late. Wade must have used up a lot of strength in the fight with him, so if there was a chance, now was the only time.
She cast a huge spell.
A huge mass of sin that will blow up this entire city.
/////
‘Good and evil are relative…’
The dying Wilhelm was thinking about his words his his his, bleeding from his chest his his.
‘It’s just hypocrisy. It’s just an excuse that evil people usually make. Even so…’
However, there was logic in his words
Even those who were not judged for ‘condemnation’ were able to explain why Wilhelm’s sword, which he thought had clearly been judged by God, was blocked in vain.
‘Good and evil… Are relative…’
Contrary to his words his his his, he kept his morals his
Thinking back on the pain he suffered when he was stabbed by his friend, a murder of that degree was not even a crime worthy of being called murder.
An ordinary imperial soldier or a security guard fighting against a band of bandits would have committed that level of carnage. That’s all.
It could have been done. It would have been possible to fight. If you had that much power, in most cases it would have been easier to kill than to save.
But he didn’t do that.
He did not use the statement that there is no absoluteness between good and evil in vain in the process of justifying his ugly sins.
‘…There is nothing absolute.’
His mind is fading. He doesn’t have much time left.
‘Evil does not disappear.’
Only then did Wilhelm admit it. He had no choice but to accept it.
He realized that he had had vain hopes.
He cannot achieve that goal in his lifetime.
Still, I couldn’t end it there.
We have to move on. Just as that young man kept moving forward, he too should not give up.
A huge flame was floating in the sky.
‘…’
He had thought it was an inevitable sacrifice. For the sake of his plan, he thought that death was something he had no choice but to accept in order to destroy all evil.
But now that the goal is gone, it was just an ordinary warlock’s slaughter.
“Ugh… “
His body wasted away. There were inevitable wrinkles on his forehead, and no matter how hard he tried, inevitable aging was ingrained in his body.
That’s not all. He had wounds on his body that would not be surprising even if he died at any time. He may die in the next few minutes or seconds.
Nevertheless, he will not break.
Maintaining a firm will and steely faith were more familiar to him than giving up.
Good and evil are relative. Nevertheless, this does not change the fact that ‘condemnation’ is a skill that is like a gift from God to humans.
Neither his discipline nor the miracles he brought to believers when he appeared in person disappear.
I want to save at least one more person.
“Aaaaah, aaaaa!!!”
The flames falling from above were ultimately fireballs based on black magic.
It must have been Katharine’s doing. This, too, was a planned attack.
There was no reason not to stop it.
“Hhhhh!!!”
The old man used up all his remaining strength.
Those beliefs, clear and distinct beliefs without the slightest doubt, were all replaced with faith, creating a huge curtain of light.
He was a man who fought against black magic his whole life. Right away, he was the one who casually took the magical power of Wade, who had been so fearsome and powerful not long ago.
A warlock cannot fight him and win.
Wilhelm’s undying soul was contained in the huge film of light.
One by one, all of Wilhelm’s senses disappeared.
Feet, legs, waist, fingers, arms. Ears and eyes.
Everything was offered as a burnt offering. Faith consumed his body
That created a miracle.
The flame disappeared. Although he could not bear to see the scene, it was clearly conveyed to Wilhelm’s invisible eyes.
“…How about it, wasn’t it bad?”
The old man laughed.
I looked at where Wade was. Since he had no vision, he might be looking in the wrong direction. Since he was deaf, he couldn’t hear the answer.
Nevertheless, the old man smiled reassuringly. At the last moment, he felt fortunate to be able to smile in victory.
“…!”
At that moment, the laughter stopped.
Although he could not see with his eyes, the sense he valued more than sight and hearing, the sense of detecting black magic, was still alive.
‘Katharine, you… Such power!’
It was great magic. It was a gigantic black magic that could not be used as a sacrifice and could not even be brought to the negotiating table with the death of a few people.
‘These magics, twice…’
Despair spread through Wilhelm’s heart his. It might be too late.
The life he devoted to Kazot and his past of tolerating Catherine’s evil deeds may have contributed to the slaughter that will unfold from now on.
‘…?’
And then, a hand came up to his shoulder.
Even if I couldn’t see it or hear it, I could tell. It was Wade’s hand.
A huge black spell was cast right behind him.
It contains magic energy. That empty darkness and pitch-black abyss are still contained in that power.
Despite this, it didn’t feel ugly. It wasn’t thought to be destructive.
‘…Ah.’
The magic that could fill the world blocked Katharine’s second attack.
‘It wasn’t in vain.’
Now I don’t even have the strength left to open my mouth. From the first time he was attacked, he was as good as a living corpse.
‘God… I come to you now, my sinful servant…’
Wilhelm’s spirit gradually faded.
‘The sin I committed is too great, even if I fell into hell for a long time because of the fall…’
The last prayer filled his heart
‘For the rest of my life, I will look at where you are.’
I stopped breathing. The life of a paladin has come to an end.
