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

Episode 18: Seeker of Knowledge

Around the same time Harry and the others started fighting, they were about to start fighting Elliot September elsewhere. Elliot, who had always admired the Night, stood in front of him with a very complicated feeling. Elliot had a thick book in his hand.

"Yes, there is no turning back. I'm the only one who can stop you."

Elliot told me to inspire myself so that I could tell him.

"I will honor you and do my best. You worked really hard for the Knights."

"I don't want to hear the words of a traitor. Let's get started."

"That's right...."

Night looked lonely. Elliot is a loving apprentice to the Knights he has spent so far with the Knights. The obvious hostility directed at the fellow comrades who fought together shatters the heart of the night.

"I'm coming."

"Anytime."

As Knight tried to start the fight, Elliot slowly began to open the book he had. After only opening it once, the pages of the book rolled over one after the other, as if the wind had blown.

From there, light in the form of letters and numbers was constantly overflowing. The light that popped out of the book circled around Elliot and eventually enveloped his whole body.

Night who was watching stopped moving for a moment, but immediately invited Elliot into his dreams. Elliot responded honestly to this. Night's black magic (Grimoire) moved the battlefield to the world of dreams.

"This is the world of dreams... completely different from that time."

"Dreams are an unconscious collection of people. Here are the memories and thoughts of people all over the world. Normal people can't stand being here."

"To this extent, I don't care."

Elliot, who had entered the world of dreams, was flat.

"That's right. But I'm definitely here. According to the rules I have decided, the world will be governed. Do you know what this means? You're in a very bad position."

"Don't underestimate me. No extra chatting required. Let's do it."

In contrast to Night, Elliot is about to start the fight early. I'm sure you're doing the same to wipe out all the thoughts you have.

"You're really easy to understand."

"You're not going to fight like that forever? I had the power of fantasy (Legro) to climb to M-12. I think my power will reach you now."

I see. At best, don't regret turning me into an enemy. "

For Night, this is a battle to avoid if you can.

But no matter how long it takes before it starts, this battle will eventually begin. Night had more mouths than usual, even though it was known to be pointless.

When he sighed as if he had given up, Night began to move the clump of dreams with magical power. Night moved his fingers slightly and countless chains emerged from the surrounding mass of dreams, restraining Elliot's limbs. It's exactly the same sight Bell had when he erased his memory.

"We know this is a space where no one can interfere, so I'll ask you again. Why did you betray the Knights? Some people still want to believe you even after this period."

Elliot's heart jumped out of Elliot's mouth to calm him down. Clashes between the Knights and the rebels have already begun and cannot be stopped. Still, Elliot wanted to know the truth.

"Oh, come on, it's gonna be tough to fight when you say that."

"What do you think?"

Elliot screams at the night in trouble.

"Elliot, you don't know anything about the Knights. I don't know everything about the Knights either. But at least I know better than you."

"I can't forgive myself for something I don't know. Could you tell me? What the hell am I supposed to know?

Elliot is the "Explorer of Knowledge." A man who always pursues knowledge he doesn't know. Elba's presence has so far led Elliot to fear an unknown threat. To him, ignorance was also fear.

"... meeting Elba changed everything about me. I'm not going to go into detail here, but don't let Gregorio do what he wants. That's for sure."

"I don't understand anything in such vague terms! Aren't you possessed by Elba? What did he do to you?"

As Night thought, Elliot couldn't understand the words. There's too much Elliot doesn't know.

"You treat me like a bad guy. Well, that's what the world's supposed to say."

When Elliot heard his heart screaming, something strange happened to Night. It was as if the liquid seeped out, and a monocular elbow appeared from the body of the night.

As soon as she was wrapped up in a lump of dreams, Elba became her true youth. In the world of dreams, you can freely change your appearance in contrast to reality.

⁉ ︎

Suddenly, Elliot couldn't hide his surprise. A phenomenon beyond his imagination is happening before his eyes now. Elliot instantly realized Elba was the one who emerged from Night's body.

"Elba is in the captain... I don't know. You're telling me you've been hiding in the captain all this time?

Even though I could see what was happening in front of me, Elliot's understanding didn't catch up. Elba, whom the Knights were looking for with their bloody eyes, had been hiding in the night. Instead of dreaming, Elba was hiding in the night.

"Yes, so the Knights couldn't find Elba, no matter how hard they looked. Until you use your connections to get into your dreams. On the contrary, because of you, the Knights are in our way now."

"I don't know more and more. Why did you allow Elba to break in? Elba threatens the Knights. Why is that... you're still trapped in Elba's magic?"

The more you listen to Night, the more confused Elliot becomes. Elba is evil. That's what they've been saying since I was a kid, and Elliot boy has been doing all the time for the Knights. He couldn't understand the piecemeal pointing of the truth.

"I'm perfectly normal. Rather, I noticed my true self because of his presence. Anyway, I can't be in the Knights anymore."

"Tell me something I don't know! What the hell is going on in this world right now? Why can the Knights be said to be wrong?

Elliot wanted to know. The incredible truth in front of you, the nights you've always admired, speaks with a serious expression. I want to know what I don't know there. Elliot made him feel that way.

"You don't have to know. Just do your best to stand up to me."

"... I understand very well. My voice won't reach you anymore."

Night's words made Elliot give up. No matter how much you talk about it, Night will never satisfy Elliot's intellectual inquiry. It was well understood, Elliot leaked a lonely voice.

"Oh, that's it. Let's get started."

Night and Elba clasped their hands, and the clumps of dreams that surrounded them moved all at once towards Elliot.

………

Elliot, who is being deprived of his liberty in chains, is swallowed up in a lump of dreams without any trick. Elliot didn't show any signs of resistance when he said that the battle had just begun.

Gradually, a lump of dreams covered Elliot's body. In it, he witnessed the left eye of the night under the windy hair.

"Were you..." Elba's left eye ”?"

When Elliot saw his golden left eye, he was completely swallowed up by a lump of dreams. Legend of Elba's Resurrection and “Elba's Left Eye”. These two elements convinced Elliot instantly.

Still, it's too late. Elliot is covered in lumps of dreams and can no longer be seen. Elliot's only remaining path, like Bell's, is to be deprived of memory and to spend time without knowing anything.
