I Became the Dark Wizard Who Rules Over the Heroines - Chapter 67

67 – Festival-7

‘Anyway, it’s all meaningless.’

Olivia was now able to realize that fact deeply in her heart.

Nothing changes whether you serve him or not.

Olivia will die if he wants to. If she doesn’t want to, she will buy.

From the beginning, the idea that she could choose her own life or death was wrong. It was a useless thing.

Only after realizing that, she was able to become free.

She worked endlessly. I have done all kinds of hard, painful, ugly and disgusting things.

Because he believed that honor would protect him. If you don’t become a ‘useful person’, your family will. Because she thought she wouldn’t be able to survive in the world.

But after facing her true ‘absolute being’, she felt that all those thoughts were meaningless.

‘What I want to do…’

There was a dream.

She

She was the one who pursued ‘honor’ in order to survive, but the process was not all painful.

It was a happy thing to follow a great knight like Eurishia and the right person. Even if the princess only glances at an ordinary knight like her Olivia – to be exact, she looks at her with ‘a look that is no different from the way she looks at other subjects’.

She wanted to become an honorable person.

“I serve… !”

Her powers are completely meaningless when it comes to Olivia’s own life or death.

Her he will not let her die. The assassins in front of you are weak.

He is too weak to kill Wade, and he is far from enough to kill Olivia, who ‘hopes Wade doesn’t die’.

But if only she could gain her strength and raise her sword to cut down the assassin in front of her.

‘That girl.’

You can get it. You can do honorable things.

Although it’s not something big enough to brag about to someone, it can save someone outside of Wade’s field of vision.

Obviously, this is inefficient, but if everything is meaningless anyway, even the ‘inefficiency’ becomes meaningless.

You can do what you want.

“Haaa!!!”

The great darkness, the universe, rushes into her body.

The pressure disappears. The fear emanating from the swords and magical energy of the assassins who ‘served the devil more deeply’ disappears as if melting in the eyes.

She serves a greater one. She serves someone greater.

“Haap!”

Olivia swung her sword. Without a single doubt.

You do not swing a sword to kill an assassin.

Even if Olivia was shaking like a scared child, even if she didn’t make a contract and swung her sword with that feeble strength, or even if she did the opposite and thrust the sword at Wade, the result would not be different.

She will live, and the assassin will die.

So, this is the sword she wields because she truly wants to.

This contract, dedication, and faith. She was able to choose because she truly wanted to.

“Die!”

To begin with, they weren’t that great. There is no way that the assassins who swarm in and kill people in a hurry are experienced and high-quality fighters.

If Olivia hadn’t been imbued with a little bit of ‘dark power’, she would have been a ridiculous enemy that she could have defeated with her own strength.

There is no reason to be afraid.

“Ha!”

In the first place, there is fear. It is a feeling that comes from the uncertainty that ‘her own situation may be different.’

She is a woman who sees a killer in the dark of the night, and she is afraid that she might be stabbed by her sword. People who see ghosts in the mirror are afraid that something inexplicable will drive them crazy or kill them.

But, if it doesn’t cause any harm to you.

No matter how ferocious and scary the killer in the picture is, she has no reason to be afraid if she is confident that it cannot harm her.

Even if a ghost is wandering around somewhere, there is no reason to be afraid if it does not drive you crazy, kill you, harm you, or bring you bad luck.

The doubts disappeared. Only desire remained, filling the space.

The honorable knight dreamed of in the story.

Although the method, power used, and process were different, she was moving forward in understanding that dream.

“…Have you decided?”

All assassins have been eliminated. Wade slowly turned her head and looked at her.

“Please wait a moment!”

Olivia turned around and ran towards the alley she had just passed.

“Huh?”

And she was able to see that even her own decision was meaningless.

Something like a black blanket made of Maggi was suppressing the children who were harassing the girl.

“…I was trying to save you.”

It’s Wade. While he was fighting the assassin, he was also dealing with those behind him.

“Did you do this to save that child?”

Wade smiled slightly, as if he was happy.

“That’s…”

“I feel a bit sorry for hitting the player. Still, the kids could have moved… And the assassin could have tried to kill. I handled it on my own.”

It was Olivia’s only illusion to think that the girl was beyond his eyes.

He was watching everything. Even if she hadn’t made her decision, the girl would have been saved.

“Wasn’t it fun?”

“Yes?”

“You were laughing. I was so scared. Anyway… Isn’t good something good?”

Olivia recalled her own image without her words.

‘…’

What he said was right. It was fun.

It was like a child’s war game. Even in wars where they cannot extort the property of the loser or occupy territory, children fight with all their heart. Laugh and enjoy.

Although it was only a moment, Olivia became an ‘honorable knight’ and she was clearly enjoying it.

“Is that… Going to be enough?”

“Of course.”

And Wade confirmed it.

“The baby is crying, you go and comfort him.”

“Do you mean…?”

“I have some blood on my clothes. I don’t think you would be dirty except for the one on your sword.”

Wade casually pushed Olivia’s back.

“In the first place, it would be better to be comforted by someone who looks like a knight like you rather than someone who looks gloomy like me. Quick, go. Come on!”

Olivia’s emotions fluctuated. Of course, she was also meaningless.

“I understand!”

Approaching a crying girl and saying, ‘You are safe now.’ An act that an honorable knight would do.

That was definitely fun.

“Speak comfortably. Are you planning on saying that in front of other students in the first place?”

“That’s definitely going to get awkward. Do other people know this too?”

Olivia, unexpectedly, was not overly afraid or reluctant of me.

Once she decided to serve me in the first place, her attitude towards me was all meaningless.

Still, I was glad to see him happy.

“…”

It was unknown territory. It’s not to say that there were no routes for her to gain evil powers, but most of her contracts were made with insignificant demons to obtain feeble powers, and then she struggled and collapsed.

But she made a decision, and she seemed to like it quite a bit.

‘Good…’

Of course, controlling Olivia greatly increases her power.

It may not be possible to make a simple comparison, but once I get used to using my power, I might become strong enough to withstand a fight with Eurishia. Of course, the idea was based on the current ‘shaking’ Yurishia.

Even if it goes up against Kazott’s executives, it is worth holding on to. If you fight with a well-matched executive, you might win.

‘Next is Lilian and… Kelin.’

I thought for a moment and then shook my head.

Kelin is still a dangerous being. She didn’t have the foolish idea of confronting me in front of me, but eventually she would escape my influence.

It is impossible to make Lilian stronger. There is no possibility that she will serve me, and she is not a character who can see great results just by training hard for a few days.

Her archery skills were pretty reliable, but she wasn’t overpowering enough to go toe-to-toe with real monsters and win.

‘That’s it for now.’

You can’t get more power. What remains now is the question of how to destroy the enemy’s plans and weaken Kazot.

‘If only I knew who was in charge of this plan, things would be easier to solve.’

Information was limited. Even for me, it was almost impossible to figure out which executive was in charge of this project with this much clues.

‘It is clear that several executives were brought in…’

I could guess to some extent who sent the assassin, but in the end, I couldn’t be sure.

“Ugh…”

“It’s okay. I’ll take you to a safe place. Just wait a moment.”

Olivia comforted her girl. It was dark at night so the girl wouldn’t be able to see Olivia’s expression, but just the warmth of her voice would give her some reassurance.

‘Yes. ‘It went well.’

Even if things were successful, it could have gone in a worse direction.

Desperate Olivia could have tried to serve me by giving up everything in her life. She might not have been able to save the girl.

I don’t know how the future will unfold, but right now, everyone involved in this seemed happy.

For now, that was enough.
