I’m not going to die - I’m not going to die chapter 57
57 – Warlock
“If I ask you one thing, I will support you no matter what you have been through, no matter what mistakes you have made.”
My brother said so.
There, Caron’s figure came to mind.
She, who had been my assistant for many years, suspected that I had not changed, but that I was a completely different person.
My brother asked a similar question to Caron’s.
I wonder why it has changed so much.
It is a question that cannot be resolved unless the past is brought out before the regression.
Naturally, I remembered that time.
The past, when he made a contract with the great devil and shamelessly returned to his hometown to annihilate his family.
At that time, I had accumulated a lot of sin, and the risk was great because I attempted to assassinate the main lineage of the royal family.
In the midst of this, I went to visit my family, so it wasn’t strange if my father cut ties with me.
If you do something wrong, you will be charged with treason and the whole family will fall.
Still, my father accepted me.
Expressing the joy of meeting a blood relative who disappeared long ago, he provided a warm meal and a bed.
…And I killed everyone to fulfill the pact with the Great Devil.
Because I lost my feelings.
To get revenge on all who made me immortal.
was obsessed with mighty power.
When I thought back to the time when I was soaked in madness, my head was dizzy for a moment.
“So please tell me. What happened and why has it changed so much?”
Ardel wanted to tell me about my past.
I’m worried.
I was saying this to solve a fundamental problem I had.
However, I had no intention of bringing up the subject of regression.
It was a sin that only I should have, and a shameful self-portrait that I had to cover up.
The things that happened before the return gradually weighed heavily on me.
Even if I bring up the word about the immortals who say that I would rather not die, it is not as much as in the past.
I wondered if it would be okay to take it out once in a while.
The more time passes, the more I get back to my emotions.
I knew what a great sin it was.
If you bring out in front of Ardel the past that really contributed to the annihilation of his family and the destruction of the world.
What kind of reaction would you see?
I’d rather keep it closed.
It’s a past that no one knows, locked in my head.
Even if it’s the hero who brought me back.
Clear your mind for a while.
First of all, you should come up with an appropriate answer.
I can’t solve the fundamental question, but my family is so close, they waited for me when I asked them to wait.
“I’ll tell you when everything is over.”
“yes… ? It would be nice if you could say it later.”
After killing the Demon King, you might change your mind.
I will judge then.
But not now.
Fortunately, my older brother took a step back at my request.
Beyond that, there are countless questions.
He put up with all the various questions, including what the identity of the black magic I was using, why women followed me because I had made some sacrifices before.
Chang-seong, who noticed the heavy atmosphere, finally spoke to me.
“…what’s going on, Argal?”
“Nothing.”
Raeli looked at Ardel and defended me diligently.
“There must have been some misunderstanding. Oppa, because Argal is nice to be nice! It’s a problem because the woman is twisted.”
“hahahaha, no big deal, it seems I was overly concerned.”
The older brother said slyly and turned his head.
Magi gathering outside the castle walls.
I definitely felt it, and others would intuitively be ominous.
Now he knew that the undead had started to flock.
“I’ll go do my thing, join the knights and stop the warlocks.”
The older brother was willing to do everything in his power to face the disaster that had come to the city.
However, I didn’t want that.
“No, you don’t have to.”
“Even so, Argal, you must fulfill your duty as an apprentice knight.”
No matter how apprentice he is, he has the duty to protect the city.
Sam commits a great sin, such as deserting, if he fails to do so.
At worst, it could even result in summary execution.
However, there was no need to worry about this.
I already asked the mayor.
Ask for at least one apprentice knight to be freely attached.
“Then, you’d better take on other duties.”
It’s okay for Fran and Bessia to run directly on the field.
Wizards and priests were in a position to be protected, and they weren’t really dangerous.
However, people who have to engage in close combat are different.
If you go to the battlefield, the chances of dying are really high.
I couldn’t let my brother die again.
If the runaway of the Black Tower Owner and the fate of his older brother overlapped, all he had to do was twist this fate.
“My brother can protect me.”
“I’m protecting you? what do you do… ?”
I raised my finger to the darkness of the sky.
“I will analyze and destroy that black magic.”
Then, he pulled out the root of the star hanging from his neck.
Maybe later, I intend to let go of my identity as a mage.
The one who needed the necklace’s power the most was Fran.
If she used it, the city could get the strongest shield.
Raeli was embarrassed.
She must have heard about the necklace, too.
“Uh, huh? Argal, is it okay if I take off that necklace?”
“It’s okay to eat the elixir.”
There was no need for further misunderstanding that this necklace was maintaining life.
Since I ate the elixir, that would be enough as an excuse.
And what does lifespan mean to an immortal?
“Raeli, deliver the necklace to Fran, if you’re worried, tell her there’s no problem thanks to the Elixir.”
“That, that’s all.”
“It is more efficient to use Fran. And I’m not giving it away at all, I’m thinking of getting it back later.”
“…Okay.”
Raeli didn’t like it very much, but when I insisted on it, she had no choice but to accept it.
So, Raeli moved and turned her head back to me.
“But, Argal, if you were going to give it, shouldn’t you have given it earlier?! This is complete mutt training.”
“Oh, sorry about that. Then bring it to City Hall, Raeli.”
“Tch, I get it!”
If he had delivered the necklace to Frank, who would be there, while bringing Ardel and Changseong, who would be at the castle wall, Raeli would not have to come and go again.
Unintentionally, I made her suffer in vain.
But what can I do, it’s already too late.
“We are going to City Hall.”
“ruler. Hang on, you’d better hear the exact plan first, little brother.”
“Even if it’s a plan, it’s something I have to do alone anyway.”
Not much to do.
If there is one important role, you have to protect me the moment the Black Pagoda owner invades the City Hall during the Pahoe.
That time was the most dangerous and important.
“Anyway, if that black magic is destroyed, everything will be resolved, so the most important thing is to protect the day when the black magic is destroyed, and I will take care of the rest.”
“…I hear that the black magic belongs to the Black Tower Master, and I don’t understand why you’re so sure that you can destroy the black magic of each tower owner.”
I realized now that I had a very comfortable conversation with the Sword Master.
Even if I become a Transcendentalist overnight and come to the swordsman, ‘I knew that’. If you think it’s going to go this way, other people will think it doesn’t make sense.
It’s Changsung… . To be honest, maybe it was because I lacked common sense, but I was still making a blank expression.
Is it the face of ‘So what’s wrong with that?’
Conversely, it doesn’t make sense to Ardel, who was a family member.
Not too long ago, I was an incompetent person without any power.
It is an unavoidable part.
The knowledge and power I had through regression were too far apart compared to my age.
In this case, it would be right to just push through.
“I’m sure it’s possible.”
“…I think I’ll explain this too when I’m done.”
“At least not now.”
Still, there were a lot of things that could be excused.
It’s not that there wasn’t a way to become stronger by chance.
Even simply holding the holy sword of a hero, that person can wield power close to transcendence.
Instead, the body will not be able to hold on and it will be shattered.
Then, as a warlock, I will do what I have to do.
My dagger was still collecting demonic energy around me.
It’s not as explosive as the self-sacrifice, but it’s enough to properly use black magic.
In the past, I used black magic to annihilate this city.
But now he uses black magic to save this city.
The difference was so ironic.

“Huh… . Ugh… .”
The warrior who woke up took a deep breath.
What was that dream about?
Shaking my head, I wanted to vehemently deny the content of the dream.
“He can’t do this.”
How could a good man who was willing to risk his life to save people and save everyone do such a vile thing?
Because the content of the dream and the appearance of reality were so opposite, the hero continued to deny and worry about the identity of the dream.
“…Does it somehow show the future?”
A future in which Argal is corrupted.
It’s a truly terrible future, but the hero denied it.
It wasn’t just one dream.
If he connects it with the burning of the capital in the past, the warrior in the dream obviously did not know about Argal.
Then it’s not the future.
The hero wouldn’t have pretended not to know Argal at all.
“Then, another future possibility?”
She also investigated Argal’s past.
Before meeting at the academy, he is said to have been kidnapped by the Dark Magic Tower.
Fortunately, the church said they had saved him, but even the hero didn’t know if this was accurate.
Only Argal knows the details.
But what if you never returned after being kidnapped?
What if Argal, who survived, wanted revenge and dreamed of taking revenge on the royal family related to the Black Magic Tower?
When I looked at it like this, the content of the dream was right.
“Then, did the appearance of not dying come from that?”
The Dark Magic Tower must have kidnapped people for a purpose.
In addition, by touching the nobility.
I’m not sure what its purpose was, but from the perspective of the hero, it seemed to be an ability to prevent death or restore it immediately when it was close to death.
At the same time, what the hero definitely felt was the need to overthrow the royal family.
How the hell have you been corrupted?
No matter how you look at it, it seemed that you could easily catch the demon king only if you overturned the royal family.
However, it wasn’t easy.
She was always an orphan, and a hero who was only chosen by the gods.
It cannot be said that the hero has no power at all, but it does not mean that he has the power to change the king of a country.
The opponent is a royal family that has built legitimacy for hundreds of years.
Even if she received the holy sword and became a transcendent, she wondered if she would be able to change the royal family.
For now, she put up with the confusion in her heart and came out.
As the knight commander had said, countless knights were gathered in the gymnasium.
The strength of the Golden Knights and the crystallization of their military power.

Just by looking at it, she felt a part of her heart settle.
If you run straight to the city, you will surely be able to save everyone.
However, I felt an ominous feeling somewhere.
The hero did not think that the royal family would move this time either.
The aristocrats who had lost their precious children in the previous attack on the academy were dissatisfied with the royal family, and the black magicians’ actions drew anger from the common people.
If we stop here again in the yard where public sentiment is not good.
She herself will not forgive.
He was prepared for treason regardless of front and back.
As soon as he grabbed the holy sword, he would run to the royal palace.
The knight commander stood in front of the knights.
Although the hero was waiting for an order to mobilize.
The worst came back.
“Originally, we were going to go to Anthony.”
The knight commander’s face was heavy.
“However, the Crown Prince said that there is a possibility of an attack on the capital, so he gave an order to defend the capital for three days and then mobilize.”
The warrior’s face was crumpled.
In the end, her mind, which was worried, went over to one side.
Grinding her teeth, she swore to God.
“I will overthrow the royal family. Oh God.”
