BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

Episode 6: Two Faces/Another Myself

Around that time, among the Elba Castle thrones, the old story by Elba had begun again.

146 years ago...

Jackass, who had finished his battle in the world of dreams, was returning to the throne of reality. Due to the depths of Jackass, the battlefield in the dream created by Elba and Jackass collapsed. Elba, who was late on the run, was swallowed by the wave of its collapse.

Hit and change from the inside of your dreams and nothing changes between the thrones as usual. The only ones there are Jackass, who took the body of specimen number 1290, and Elba, who stopped moving.

Jackass, who returned to the real world before the collapse of his dreams, is as pimped as he was before the battle.

But Elba swallowed by the collapse of her dreams is different. The collapse of the world of dreams affects even the hearts of those left behind in that world.

"If you die in the world of dreams, you will never be able to come back to reality again. Gigi won't complain about this either...?

There was a change when Jackass tried to leave the scene convinced of the victory. Jackass, who noticed the anomaly, accidentally stopped on the spot.

……………

"Impossible... how can you get up?

Elba, who should have fallen like a corpse in front of him, stood up completely.

But I don't feel angry in his eyes. Elba seemed to be able to return to the real world in some way or another.

"Don't make fun of me..."

"You look like a human, but you have bones inside."

"Your... your power was far beyond my imagination. Already... I'll be breathless in this place."

"Is that the last word?"

Elba not only survived the world of collapsing dreams, he remained conscious. But you never seem to say you survived.

"But... you can't just die like this. I don't think the world that Gigi creates is going to be good."

"Here we go again... so you're telling me this world has nothing to do with me, no matter what happens, right?

"No... it's none of your business either. Keep it up... keep it up... I'll never let you!

"What's that supposed to mean?

Elba's words were gradually becoming more powerful when he said that the time for the end of his life was approaching. To that obsession, Jackass was overwhelmed without trying.

It was also a reminder to Jackass that this battle was not over.

"Gu... I'll see you soon"

Once the conversation was over, Elba lay her hands on her left eye and moved on to preparing for something. I could stab Todome on the spot, but Jackass couldn't help but wonder what Elba was about to do.

"Gu... gu..."

Over time, Elba's sad groans grew louder. Apparently, no change had yet taken place, but different energies were beginning to develop around Elba.

Different energies gradually concentrate on Elba's left eye.

"Why are you so powerful in the abyss of death..."

The energy swirling around Elba's left eye swelled and swelled, overwhelming Jackass.

Elba is the same phantom dream ruler as Jackass. I could manipulate enormous amounts of energy in my dreams, but it was hard to imagine that it could be applied to the real world. If that's black magic (Grimoire)...

"I... have made many big mistakes. So at the very least, we will never let the world that Gigi is going to create go in the wrong direction. Even if we can't steer you in the right direction, we'll never let you walk the worst way."

"Hehe... what are you talking about wrong or right? You know the end of the human world."

Elba had a strong will. By the time I realized my mistake, the hour was already late. As is often the case, the Emperor did not intend to end with that alone.

He was squeezing his last strength to reward the world to come.

"In the world to come, the devil will be heavily involved"

"That would be nice. With more people like Gigi, we don't have a problem eating."

"I was ignorant. I only knew a very narrow world. But even I can tell that. I guess there are many other demons like you. You can't manipulate such a powerful force... as humans would like. As I was..."

With death at present, Elba predicted the world to come.

"Gigi, who uses the power of the devil to usher in a new era, must also incorporate the power of the devil into the world to come. If many humans have supernatural powers, there will always be strife there. There must be a few people like me who use their power for the wrong things."

"That's good. It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right. If we get an orb from a human, that's fine."

Elba knew the end of the human path with paranormal powers in his hands. I guess he is himself. Elba drowned in his desire to dominate and arrogantly reigned over one country, becoming the ruler of an uninhabited fantasy dream. Elba, who went under control of the country as he wished, was awaiting the end of saying that the people would kill him.

"As it is, history repeats itself forever. Think of it, so did the rulers of the past. This negative flow makes me try to cut it off at my expense. If the negative currents are chained, they will eventually end irrevocably."

"It's hard... I don't know what happens to humans. This way. One of you won't stop me from doing that."

At this time Elba had already foreseen the final war (Ragnarok), which had not yet occurred in modern times.

Humans with mighty powers beyond their control eventually start ugly feuds. Is that the worst scenario Elba can imagine?

"I'll cut it off. I need the boy to do that."

"What are you going to do?

When he finished the whole conversation, Elba took off his hands, which were layered on his left eye. Jackass, who witnessed Elba's energized left eye, breathed unexpectedly.

His left eye circumference was like darkness at night, stained in black. Yellow eyes gleam spookily in black.

"Knock...!

And without getting her hair in, Elba snatched her own left eye. Elba, who grabbed his left eye on his right hand, slowly approached Jackass.

Elba, who captures Jackass with only his right eye left on his face, packs the distance one by one.

"My body... doesn't move?

Jackass couldn't hide the confusion. That body, which shouldn't have taken any damage, somehow didn't work the way he wanted.

In contrast, Elba steadily packs his distance from Jackass and goes. I guess Elba's strong regrets are pounding and moving his body.

"Feed the light of the future."

Finally, Jackass' hitherto approaching Elba hit the “left eye” he grabbed in his right hand against the left eye of specimen number 1290. It was the last attack of the Emperor, squeezing its power.

"Guuuuuuuuuuuu"

“Elba's Left Eye" released more and more black energy as soon as it touched Jackass. Around Jackass' left eye, he gets covered in black energy. Jackass's left eye, which was pale, was eventually completely enveloped by black energy.

The next moment, between the thrones, there was just dazzling light. The light produced by Elba enveloped everything around him. Jackass, who was attacked, couldn't understand what had happened, like Elba in his dreams.

…………

After a while the light went out, there was no Elba there. Was it burned with the light earlier, leaving an elongated shadow on the floor? In that shadow-faced part there was unnaturally only one yellow eye.

As opposed to the shadow, specimen number 1290 appeared. He closes his eyes and stands still. Has Elba's final attack caused any changes to the body of the boy who hosted Jackass?

Just as before the light occurred, the boy's left eye area was stained black, like the night sky.

Before long, the boy opened his eyes. Its right eye lit a pale light as ever, but its left eye was different.

The boy's left eye lit a yellow light just like Elba's. The change didn't stop at just that. The black spread around his left eye was starting to spread all the way to his hair.

The hair, which was white, dyed black as I looked at it. It was deep black like the darkness of the night.

"That's the truth about the Elba War."

"I can't believe the unbelievable truth..."

"You've already figured it out, too. You are not Night Dissenber or anything. Sample number 1290."

"I hadn't thought of Jackass since I heard... that..."

To the truth of the shock, Knight couldn't hide his surprise. Knight, whose open mouth cannot be blocked, stares at Elba in what a dumb way.

"I mean, I... have lived for nearly 150 years...?

"Exactly. You are not from this age. A man who lived the same age as me."

"I'm confused to be honest… what is it now…"

"Your name, too, was given by Gigi. Possession weapon“ Knight. "That's the code name you were given. I don't even know your real name."

To the truth revealed one after the other, Knight's head was on the verge of punk.

Not only has he lived since the Elba era, but it was Knight himself who inspired the collapse of the Elba Empire. Numerous secrets were hidden from the Knights' greatest black magician (Grigori).

"I... what the hell am I"

"You are the light that guides this world. You were white. It was an infinite possibility of dyeing any color."

"Why did you choose me? What are you up to with me?... Speaking of which, I've heard"

"What?

"It's Elba's left eye.“ Elba's left eye will be resurrected, and the new ruling world will be wrapped in the night. "Elba's will, feared by the Knights and kings."

"Oh... you've blown that into me since I became this body. In a way, you may have been Elba's successor.

Of all the humans living in the modern age, Knight was the one most closely associated with Elba. If Knight's left eye still belongs to Elba, the emperor Elba will have seen the world through Knight.

"Oh, I can't believe it."

"That's why I told you? When you learn the unbelievable truth."

Like Lili, Knight, who was presented with a difficult truth to accept, was confused.

"No, there's a good chance you're a clever liar. Aren't you going to convince me to take revenge on the world today?

"Totally... it's what made me a hard-headed man. With your help, you'll soon find out that I'm not lying."

"Eh... ⁉"

Knight, still not believing what Elba had to say, suddenly felt a strong pain. That was something I could feel from my left eye hidden in my forehead.

"With its left eye, look at this world"

When Knight scratched up his forehead, there were the same yellow eyes as Elba's. As Elba tells us, the area around his left eye is stained black.

As Elba said, there is no doubt that Knight is specimen number 1290 first.

⁉ ︎

"How... did you see that? I just shared a vigeon. You must see yourself now."

Elba had her right and left eye visions shared. This made what Elba sees look like a night, too. What I see in Knight's eyes was who I was with the same eyes as Elba.

"Oh no... no way..."

"Anyway, I haven't told a single lie. Even if I die, I have come to see this world as a shadow. As he feared, Gigi began to incorporate the power of the devil into this world. To make a" country where all people can live for themselves ”.

Humans who have gained mighty power are proud. And black magic (Grimoire) spread all over the world. Uncountable human beings gained the power to grasp freedom. A man with power in his hand would seek even greater power. But that power comes at a price. In addition, that power is not beyond the control of man. Black magic (Grimoire) destroys humans. The final war (Ragnarok) is the idea of the end. Literally, it's not like we're going to destroy mankind in a fight. "

"... what are you going to do? Is there a way to stop people from trying to gain power? The world is overflowing with black magic."

"We can no longer stop humans from gaining power. At best we just try to stop the feud to a minimum and keep Gigi's ambitions from coming true"

Elba, the emperor who supposedly died in the Elba War, was not doomed. He became a stranger and remained in this world.

Thanks to Gigi, black magic (Grimoire) spread all over the world. Is there any way to change this world, which is completely different from the Empire Age?

"Gigi ambitions? She must be from the past, right?

"Have you forgotten that you still live forever? The rebels had powerful collaborators. Scientists who were helping Gigi at the time were developing medicines to preserve the flesh without aging. By that drug, the rebel leader and you survived to modern times."

"But... I don't remember. I'm supposed to be alive for over 150 years, but I don't remember most of it"

"That should be it, too. You were asleep just before the Kingdom of Sertria was founded and the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori) were founded. You don't know anything."

Gigi had other collaborators. And Knight was the number one victim flirting with Gigi's ambitions.

"Are you saying that Gigi, Trava, Asned and Cohen are still alive somewhere?

"Oh, you're right. Somewhere in this world they are still alive. Black magic (Grimoire) has already spread to this world. I wonder what they think next, and it's frightening."

"Am I supposed to be a puppet that moves the way they think..."

"I invited you here not to be just a puppet. It's just the right time."

The members of the rebels who created the world today are still lurking their breath somewhere. They collapsed the empire and spread the mighty power of what they called black magic (Grimoire).

This is not the end of the Gigis' operation. To stop their thoughts surrounded by a mysterious vale, Elba invited Knight to the land.
