I Became the Fiance of a Crazy Heroine - I Became the Fiance of a Crazy Heroine chapter 126

Chapter 126

Shion also knew about the magic sword’s awakening.

Because El Thesoicb was separated from Enrite and reached the result of awakening.

As Enrite expected, Acid Rain was able to gain more power.

“How can I awaken it?”

“I have to accept the darkness I have.”

“… It seems a bit different from what I know.”

“Light is supposed to spread out. My brother is the same. He became light and came out of the demonic sword.”

“You didn’t become light, did you become a human?”

“Even though my sister is a demonic sword of light, she couldn’t shine herself. It wasn’t until I became human that I could look back on myself.”

Acid Rain walked around and calmly continued his explanation.

Shion seemed to think for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Darkness can only exist without light, right?”

“For darkness to be complete, nothing must exist. Should I say go back to the beginning?”

“Then I will cease to exist?”

“Darkness always stays in this world, but when there is light, it quickly disappears. Darkness is what exists and does not exist.”

Exceed Rain gently closes his eyes and peeps at the situation outside.

Shion’s body had not yet reached death, and the magic sword users were busy moving.

Among them, I wondered if the one with the flame magic sword fought the most fiercely.

“… So choose. There is a way to continue like this and die, or there is a way to accept the darkness and become stronger.”

“Didn’t I say that it would be a burden to you even if I went on like this?”

“Yes, if I go back like this, my strength will weaken, and if I fight while weakened, you will try to run your magic out of control again.”

Exceed Rain saw through Shion’s thoughts and replied leisurely.

Shion looks at the acid lane for a while and then comes to a conclusion.

“I will believe you. It doesn’t sound like you’re trying to fool me.”

“I didn’t lie to you. But you won’t believe me… Why do you want to believe it?”

“I see a white apostle from you.”

Shion had no choice but to be suspicious from the first time he faced Acid Rain.

In the meantime, it has led countless users to ruin, and it has resulted in another victim.

However, Acid Rain, the ego embodied, seemed to resemble Enrite not only in appearance and voice, but also in its origin.

In other words, Acid Rain was saying those words with sincerity.

“I guess so. I am her sister.”

“I am not talking about appearance. I am talking about feeling.”

“The feeling would be a little different. He’s lived in the light, but I’ve always been stuck here.”

“No, it is. You can feel the light too.”

“… … .”

Acid Rain shows a surprised expression for the first time and swallows silence.

Since I was born, I have been with the darkness, and I have never encountered the light.

Even so, can he say that he feels the light to himself, the demonic sword of darkness?

“therefore… What should I do?”

“You can make the darkness I have yours.”

“To make it mine is… You mean you won’t give it to me?”

“I can’t give it to you. Darkness is the source of my power. I’ve had it since I was born, but there’s no way I know how to give it to you.”

“… What will happen to you if I take the darkness?”

“Only the self remains.”

“Are you not going to die?”

“I don’t have a body like you. The phenomenon of death cannot be experienced.”

Acid Rain gives a subtle answer and smiles lightly.

Shion frowned, then let out a sigh.

“So you’re telling me to steal it on your own?”

“right.”

“I wish I could teach you in more detail… … .”

“I don’t think my younger brother would have awakened knowing how to do it, too?”

Shion, lost for words, started walking around the acid lane.

Various methods came into my head, but nothing came to my mind.

Because the opponent was neither a human nor a demonic beast, but the demonic sword itself.

‘Because this is inside the magic sword… It won’t die.’

There was no way that Acid Rain would die in the first place.

As he said, he doesn’t have a body, and he only exists as an ego.

Even if he died, he couldn’t guarantee that he would give up the darkness.

‘It’s not something I had… Nothing will change if we go on like this… … .’

Shion lowered his eyes in helplessness.

Wouldn’t it have been better to fight together with his colleagues without causing his mana to run wild?

What if I had met Acid Rain earlier and awakened?

It seemed that countless regrets and fears were finally reaching deep into my heart.

‘I should have trusted my colleagues.’

If he had joined forces with other demonic sword users, better results might have come out.

If I hadn’t been on my own, I wouldn’t have collapsed in vain.

What was it that made you so tense?

‘I’m worried about Hanette.’

It was at the border point of contradiction.

He hoped that Harnette would help him, but he did not want him to get hurt.

That’s why I made sure to stay behind, and I didn’t even allow it to get close to the enemy.

It was because he was greedy that he paid the price.

‘It’s not like I can do everything.’

Until now, I tried to take the lead in whatever I did.

I could have thought of it differently, but I didn’t have to.

Because it was safer to use what I knew rather than recklessly taking on challenges.

‘I just did it because it didn’t work out as planned.’

Shion looks back on herself and falls into a sense of shame.

He had to be seen as a strong and reliable person to Hannett, but now he has reached his limit.

Maybe I should go to Hanette and tell her to run away together.

‘I’m not good at anything. I only depended on Acid Rain.’

By sheer luck, I was able to use Acid Rain.

I used the given environment to increase my own value, and in reality I didn’t have anything.

A human named Shion Reggieard was only able to satisfy his own desires while being covered in lies and deceit.

‘… I don’t want to die.’

He said he would risk his life for Harnette, but he still wanted to survive.

Even if he were to annihilate the Narak King, once he died, he could never come back.

Rather than becoming a hero who died with honor, it would have been right to servilely save his life.

‘I want Hanette to stay by my side.’

Shion faced the emotions he had hidden inside.

It was more important to return alive than to awaken Acid Lane now.

Shouldn’t we retreat first and aim for the next opportunity?

“I… uh?”

Shion discovers something and opens her eyes wide.

Dark purple fragments were flowing from the acid lane.

Eventually, the pieces turn towards him and are sucked in in an instant.

“… You tried to follow the light while hiding the darkness.”

Exceed Rain murmured calmly and looked into his hands.

Large and small pieces were being created riding on his body.

Did Shion Reggieard know that just by introspecting himself, he would reach an awakening?

“You wanted to be the light yourself.”

Acid Rain has been used by numerous users and has been peeking into their hearts.

All of them harbored great malice and desire, and Acid Rain amplified that darkness.

As a result, his body and mind were corrupted, and he risked his life.

“You are obsessed with light because of your fiancé. You must have wanted to appear as a nice and good person in front of your fiancé.”

Acid Rain peers into Shion with her eyes closed.

Shion Regard was also a human, so he had malice and desire.

Of course, since he was a qualified person, he might have resistance to some extent, but he couldn’t completely escape from Acid Rain.

If he hadn’t pursued the light, wouldn’t he have been swayed a little by Acid Rain?

“Do you know what darkness is now?”

“… I have no idea.”

“You can’t be honest. Still, it seems that I have awakened… Maybe you’ve realized something.”

Acid Rain gives up all the darkness and slowly opens its eyes.

As expected, I started to feel the sensation, and I was able to recognize my own existence.

It must have been going through the same process as El Tesoigb.

“My darkness is now yours. It will be reborn as a new demonic sword.”

“You say only your ego remains.”

“Are you worried about me? You’d better worry about you than me.”

Acid Rain’s body was getting blurry.

Shion just watches it in silence.

“I have achieved my goal. What about you?”

“… Personally, I respect the White Apostle. He is a strong man and a reliable ally. You could have been too.”

“It will be a bit difficult because our personalities are different.”

Acid Rain smiled calmly and imagined Enrite’s appearance.

He said he looked the same as himself, so I wondered if he was expecting anything.

Until now, I didn’t know what shape I had, and I had never met my younger brother.

“… I’ll have to take care of it though.”

“Is there anything you want to leave behind? I’ll give it to you instead.”

“Is it necessary? I can tell it myself.”

“… … ?”

Shion looks puzzled at Exceed Rain.

Acid Rain doesn’t care about that and continues to speak leisurely.

“Oh, I have to tell you this. you are qualified If I had just held the magic sword, I would have awakened my magic… Why would you do that?”

“What do you mean? If I hadn’t prepared, I wouldn’t have been able to use Acid Rain.”

“You must transcend the providence for the demonic sword to awaken. What did you take from me?”

“Your darkness… That’s why I took the power of Acid Rain.”

“That means you are qualified. Darkness can only be accepted by the same darkness.”

Acid Rain disappears completely leaving only those words behind.

As Shion ponders the words, he immediately thinks of Hanette.

‘It’s not the time to be like this.’

Shion stretched out his right hand and naturally summoned the acid rain.

The purple blade was dyed in indigo at some point, and the hilt seemed to hold a vague darkness.

Overall, the shape seemed to have changed a little.

‘It’s dark… … .’

Shion swung the acid rain without understanding the words.

An indigo blue trace was drawn along the blade, and soon blue and white pieces were engraved.

At the same time, the dark background splits and creates a new path.

‘what? It looks like something huge has unfolded… … .’

* * *

“That life… couldn’t reach me I will reap it for you!”

The King of Narak, confident of victory, slashed the demonic sword of the earth toward Shion.

It didn’t move anymore, but I could feel the magic power.

He had to be killed right here and now so that he could advance easily.

“… Zion?”

The red barrier rose high.

The demonic sword of the earth bounced back, and the King of Narak instinctively retreated.

Vast magical power was condensed, and it looked like it would explode at any moment.

“What are you doing?”

I can’t hear my voice.

There was still some magic power left, but it was fading little by little.

The blade of the acid rain was already covered in gray, and the purple light that was shining through the helmet was no longer visible.

“Answer me.”

The red barrier grew thicker and began to burn fiercely.

The white apostle was coming, but I wondered if it was already too late.

Even if I wanted to believe that I could survive, I felt clear that there was no hope.

That magical power, heart, and Shion will no longer be revived.

“I said I would protect you until the end… … .”

Transparent colors flowed down her golden eyes.

I shouldn’t have followed you.

I had to stay by your side no matter what.

I went ahead alone, and it ended up like this.

“I will go with you.”

The orange hair sways and pours out pieces of flame.

Dozens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands… Too many sparks to count.

It looked like petals were scattering, but they were burning everything around them.

Those petals seemed to be crying out not for peace but for the end.

“Previously… I’m going to kill this guy Please wait a moment.”
