Outside the castle, on the other hand, Bell was finally capturing the white boy's back. Bell, chasing the white boy, was already breathing up, distorting his face to pain from time to time. I guess the wound I got from Lilith hurts.

"Oh, no, it's lame. I don't know, I just think he came all the way out here to take my orb."

"Fake is fake all the time. I don't give you an orb."

Knowing that Bell had chased him, the white boy suddenly stopped and looked back.

Unlike Bell, who fought the devil earlier, there is no scratch on the white boy's body. If the power you have is at the same level, Bell is at an overwhelming disadvantage.

"Well, you weren't dead... I thought Arrosha killed you."

"Don't look at me sweetly. There's no way I'm going to die from your attack, not even the second stage of erosion."

"Hmm... do you know about erosion?"

"Naturally."

Confronting the white boy, Bell was remembering the first time he fought again. The white boy, overwhelmed by the awakened Arrosha, should have been defeated in no time.

"Then why were you suddenly gone then? You can't travel instantaneously."

"Sure, I don't have that power. Don't you know? Doppelgenger is a being created by man. The answer is simplicity. The man who created me just retrieved me."

"Who is it... who does such a bad hobby?"

"You don't need to know. Your life will be mine today!

The white boy, a doppelgenger, was not a being who was moving by his own will alone. There are people who have created him and given him knowledge and power. Bell wanted to know who the person was, but the white boy didn't seem willing to teach it.

"Fair enough. I understand very well that you're trying to kill me."

"That's right. That's all I need to know."

"Wait a minute... you and your husband are the ones who will inherit Elba's will when you stay with Elba.”

"Don't be ridiculous... that guy just created me, not your husband, etc. Besides, the Emperor and I were just in agreement. Me and the Emperor wanted to attract you."

Next, Bell anticipates Elba's relationship with the white boy, but that was out of focus. In the first place, there is no such thing as "the one who inherits Elba's will”. Belle had completely forgotten Elba's words.

The white boy wanted to lure the bell to replace the real one, but what the hell does Elba say Bell has to do with it? Even between the thrones, Elba did say he needed something for Belle.

"What can I do for you, basically, that first monster?"

"I don't know that either. If you could help me, I could have done anything."

The reason Elba and the white boy were together then is that the interests are unanimous. It was just that, the two of them didn't try to interfere with each other any more. Will Elba, who cooperated with the white boy, be a new threat to Bell?

"Can we just end this futile chat and it's time for you to make me real?

"You remain a fake for the rest of your life... did you have a weapon like that?

The white boy shouldered the strange weapon he was grasping in his right hand. When he confronted Bell at Adford, the white boy was in possession of nothing. All he was using was the strange power of manipulating the orb.

"Oh, you mean this. This is" Soul Blade (Edge). "It's a magic wand with a blade. He's also known as Sword Stuff."

"You think you can beat me with such a toy?

"You're not afraid of anything when you say it in your worn out body."

Soul Blade (Edge). That was the name of the new weapon the white boy had in his hands. It was shaped like a blade a meter long with a wooden wand entangled. A weapon that blends a beautifully polished blade with a magical wand like the one held by a wise man.

"I'll burn that weapon."

"Can you do that?... Suffer from thoughts."

The white boy also smiled back at Bell with a belligerent grin.

He then began to rotate the blade (edge) of his soul (Seoul) vigorously with his hands.

Then the ancient orbs that were drifting around begin to swirl, as if to match that movement.

Green tornadoes get more and more enlarged as they involve ancient orbs. The vortex of the soul, so immense that even Elba Castle swallowed it, approached just beside the bell.

"What the..."

"There are so many thoughts swirling around in this that I can't count. Can you stand the whirlpool?

The white boy proudly said so, moving the whirlpool (Storm) of thought (Mind) toward the bell.

"I'll burn you down like that"

Niya...

Bell just moves on to the second stage of erosion and tries to burn down the whirlpool of thought.

But at the same time that the white boy had an invincible grin, Bell's movements stopped.

"This pain... just like then..."

At this time, Bell was experiencing a certain pain. That's the same pain I felt when confronting a white boy in Adford.

That pain, as if they were going to pull out the orb, completely stopped Bell from moving.

Painful Bell was swallowed by a whirlpool (Storm) of thought (Mind) before proceeding with erosion (Illusion).

"Ha-ha-ha... this, in that vortex"

By the time chest pain was resolved, Bell stood at the heart of Mind Storm. Mind Storm was just a green tornado from the outside, but the view from the inside was completely different.

Countless orbs circled the interior, and from time to time it formed the shape of a person. Ancient orbs are easy to ghost. As thoughts swirled, the ancient souls were spouting thoughts that did not clear up.

"Ahhhhhh"

"My child... where is my child? ⁉ ⁉"

"Not dead... not dead."

"It's painful..."

"I won't tolerate..."

"Where did you go? ⁉R"

The cry of the soul, which remained in this world after 100 years, was full of negative emotions. A bitter and heavy cry that I can't stand to hear clings me into the green vortex. Thoughts that will not clear up after 100 years attacked Bell relentlessly.

"Ha... ha... ha..."

The longer he spent inside the Mind Storm, the harder Bell became to breathe. Thousands of souls feel as if they are being blamed. That was what the white boy was after.

In a vortex where countless sad screams go and go. If you spend a long time in this vortex, no matter what kind of person you are, you will come with an anomaly in your spirit. Swallow by the whirlpool of thoughts, Bell accidentally meditated his eyes.

"Son... are you getting along with Arrosha?

"... why did Temehe come out?"

It was the man he hated the most in the world who showed up in front of an open bell. Did the white boy intentionally make Johann Faust appear in order to thoroughly push Bell? Or is it uncertain whether the pushed bell has created Johann's phantom itself?

"I will always be with you. Looks like we've grown a little bit more than when we met at the Trump Circus..."

"What are you talking about? ⁉ Temee was an illusion, wasn't she?

"I don't know. But I told you. I'll always be with you."

Johann Faust's words confuse Bell. Guess from what he says, is it still the phantom of his hateful father burned in Bell's heart right now?

"I don't know what you're talking about... just get out of my sight."

"Oh... what is that?

When the disturbed bell shouted out loud, suddenly Johann Faust pointed somewhere. Bell, prompted but still looking in that direction, lost his word.

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"

In Bell's ear, such a voice popped in.

The Lord of his voice is crying out by the burning town. The burning fires of red engulfed a whole town.

…………

The silver-haired boy crying down before the fire was a familiar figure to Bell. It's the bandit Galan Drake.

However, Galan, who is now in front of Bell, was young. If that's Galan there, I guess what Bell is seeing right now is “the Great Fire of Valdarza”.

The Great Fire of Valdarza. That was the biggest trauma Bell ever had. A demon who looked like himself burned down a town, even though it was not his own will. The fact is heavy on Bell.

"That's... ⁉"

And Belle finds a certain person in the flames of Valdarza. A boy walking all over a burning town in a demonic shape. The blonde-haired boy was lighting a red light in both eyes and releasing the flame from the cursed mark on his right hand.

Speaking of phantoms, Bell was stunned when he saw himself turning one town into hell. Are you saying that Mind Storm finds the most spiritual damage from the subject's deep psyche? What Bell is seeing now was too real an illusion.

"You're a murderer... a demon."

⁉ ︎

That's what the boy Galan said to Bell, who was in a state of relief after seeing the great fire in Valdarza.

The word pierces the bell. Bell, who had experienced the loss of his precious family, knew Galan's thoughts so painfully.

If Bell's mother Helen had been murdered by someone, Bell would have resented the killer as much as he did.

After the words of Galan, Bell meditated his eyes for a while and turned again to the burning town of Valdarza.

"⁉ It's a lie..."

Bell, who has been watching the town for a while, doubts his eyes. Inside the burning town, Bell was discovering another familiar figure.

"Help, help, help."

It was Helen Quill there. It was Bell's mother. Years before the Great Fire in Valdarza, Helen is dead. I could never be there, but Bell's eyes clearly showed that.

The little bell is setting off a bright red fire, without even paying any attention to Helen being in town. From Helen, who runs away with a sad voice, Bell was dying to turn away.

Again, this illusion seems to be meant to spiritually hunt Bell down.

"No way..."

Next, Bell discovered another crowd. It was also the people who should never have been in Valdarza.

As Bell moved his gaze, Lili Wallace, Allen Levy and Jake Hausent were confirmed inside the burning town. They are irreplaceable to Bell.

They weren't the only ones fleeing the flames. Even Raleigh, Emilia Lambert and Barbara Howard were running around in a burning town.

My dear colleagues who have been involved so far are suffering from the flames of Bell.

Even if that were an illusion, Bell's heart was about to be crushed. If this is what the white boy is after, the operation is a huge success. In the current state of mind, Bell will not be able to resume combat very much.

"Stop it, Belle."

"Don't kill me."

"Hot... hot!

"No, no, no, no."

"Murderer..."

"Devil!"

The grieving voice of his unchanged companions echoes in Bell's head. The sight you least want to see and the words you don't want to hear relentlessly hounds Bell.

"Don't... don't... I didn't do anything."

Bell, who could not stand the sight very much, screamed out loud to erase everything. He scratched out his audible voice, closed his eyes and turned away from the burning town.

"Don't turn away… on the victim side over this period. There is no denying that you have taken many lives. [M] You're a fine murderer."

……………

Johann Faust speaks to the bell, who was stifling. Even while Bell was watching the Great Fire in Valdarza, he watched the whole time by his side.

"That night, your life changed. I can't live clean anymore."

"... yeah"

Johann Faust's words go relentlessly hunting down Bell.

"If you've embraced the devil, embrace everything already. You still don't know who you really are. At the bottom of your mind, aren't you driven by an impulse to kill that you can't help?

"Ugh..."

"Besides, do you really care that you've got Arosha's powers in your hands? The power of the devil is a substitute beyond man's control. When will that power rip your fangs off and hurt the people around you?"

"I'm telling you, let it go..."

As he scratches off his hateful father's words, Bell gradually goes louder. It was none other than Johann Faust who screwed up Bell's life.

But everything he said was right now.

"I keep talking, even if you don't want to hear it. If you repent, kill me with that flame."

"I'll do it even if you don't tell me..."

"If you do, you'll be a real killer."

"I'm tired of hearing Temehe's words. Just disappear..."

Already at this time, Bell was unable to think properly. Mentally cornered, Bell is just trying to erase Johann from sight. Johann's hate voice creeps up on Bell's head and doesn't leave.

Bell's body, which grew in anger, was beginning to be engulfed in a burning fire. The red “mark” on his body is beginning to spread as he meets Bell's anger.

"That's good... you're a fine killer!

"Get lost."

The one word triggered it, and at last the mark of flame spread all over Bell's body. The deep red fireworks that surrounded Bell's entire body spread as far as it could see at the same time.

A fireworks of unprecedented power swallow the whirlpool of illusions surrounding the bell.

Eventually, Mind Storm was completely engulfed in Arrosha's fireworks. An unprecedentedly powerful flame burns down a whirlpool of thoughts that perplexes people's minds. The whirlpool of red-stained thoughts became smaller and disappeared into the fireworks.

The wretched souls left in this world were also digested by the flames of Bell. Bell, who was about to be swallowed by a whirlpool of thoughts, overcame it half forcefully.

The attack of a white boy collecting ancient orbs had, more than ever, hunted down Bell.

"... killing a phantom doesn't mean killing a person."

Freed from the whirlpool of thoughts, Bell said so as to whine.
