Desire

“Are you sure you don't want to go? ”

The voice of the question was not high. It was a question, but it wasn't a question. We already knew the answer to that question.

“I don't need to be around you anymore. ”

Mujin Seop replied: Since coming to the Abbey, Mujin Seop has changed a lot. He abandoned his arrogance. In the past, if you've been trying to prove that you're the best and the strongest,

It looked like an acolyte. He wielded his sword and meditated every day. There were many who could take on such a fearless opponent. This is a land where the gods roam. The people here are freshmen who have surpassed the boundaries of the human race with their whole lives intact.

Devello's gaze shifts from Mujin Seb to Sword Blade. The sword has also undergone a great change. He was originally a man who shouldn't have been in the monastery, but to date, none of the fresh meat of the monastery has asked about his right to be here.

“I'm not going either. ”

The sword replies. He looks at Devello with a loving smile.

“I've put aside my sense of fastness. Now... I want to spend the rest of my life here.” “Are you discussing the end of an invisible sword? ”

The sword king laughed, even though he shot him. Devello looks at them and nods slowly.

“Got it.”

Devello had no intention of persuading me of a senseless sword. If you want them to stay here, you can stay. It's just like Devello decided to leave the Abbey. I want to leave. I want to leave.

Devello turns away, being driven away by swordsmanship and absurdity. I noticed a familiar landscape. Floating white clouds, clear lakes, pouring waterfalls. Devello slowly walks as he sweeps his tendon sword down his waist.

“The scent of the Abbey is not your strength. ”

The interrupting voice stops Devello from walking. Devello looks back at the direction you heard the sound. Noya, a small figure, sits in the air and watches Devello.

“Because this place doesn't function as a force. Likewise, Noya can't help you.” “I don't want your help. ”

Devello replies.

“I was here because this was the best place to train. I was satisfied with your teachings.” “I have nothing more to learn from you. Is that why you want to quit?” Yes. ”

Devello's answer did not contain any wavering words. Noya smiles at that. It was not a burst of laughter in the sense of denial.

Five years have passed since Devello arrived at the Abbey. For five years, much has happened on the ground. The assassination war is over and the imperial palace is sealed off. In the process, the name of the bloodline was changed to Mahjo, and Azin became the bishop of Mahjong and emperor of Jinsun. Laquis of Siolence grabs hold of the Jinn Empire and tries to attack Azin, but is defeated by the reverse and defeated by Siolence.

That was four years ago. The current line was ruled under Emperor Azin. Though the veins of the sperm remained thin, the glory of the past could not be found as though washed away. Azin's progress has already been obscured by the faction and the Safa. Without the distinction of rhetoric, it's just called the Moorish Gate.

“Why don't you just leave the field? It must be hard to form your forces in the line of fire.” “There is no greed for power. ”

Devello shakes his head and replies. Noya frowned.

“There's a limit to what you can do on your own. Everyone but you has power.” "Just because they say that doesn't mean I should do the same. ”

Noya thought as she kicked her tongue. In teaching Devello, Noya felt it several times.

Devello is a genius. Noya couldn't deny him anything. Devello did not have any difficulty understanding Noya's difficult teachings, and if he taught one, he learned ten. For four years, Noya taught Devello all the martial arts he knew.

It is not sword that Noya taught Devello. No itself. Thanks to this, Devello is on the verge of perfection.

Even though they have such talents, they did not complete the translucency because translucency is not just in the body, but in the mind.

Not suitable for Devello.

That's what Noya was thinking about. Even when teaching Devello for the first time, Noya did not doubt that Devello would be able to complete the translucency.

But what about now? It's said to be complete in sight... but not complete. To be honest, Noya was not convinced that Devello would be able to complete the translucency as long as he did this.

Devello is too greedy.

That's the problem.

Emotion is the most important thing in completing a non-polarity. I'm desperate for something. It pains me to prove it. Although the directionality was distorted, Azin completed a non-polarity. A man who was not born to nothing has completed his innocence due to the blast of emotion.

Devello can't do that. It's not as emotional as azine. It's inhuman. I've lived in the Abbey for five years, but Devello's temperament hasn't changed.

She's too greedy. Just right now. Devello is a proxy and does not want to win the game. Greed, lust. There is a lack of thirst for it. That was the biggest difference between Azin and Devello.

‘Fortunately, Devello has a struggle. ’

It was also one of Devello's greatest advantages. Devello doesn't want to win the game. But I hope to win the fight. It was an oddly inconsistent contradiction, but Devello was.

Devello does not create power. It's because I don't need to, and Devello doesn't fit the bill either. They want to win a fight over something like that. For Devello, winning means beheading an opponent. Other delegates are rallying their forces to increase their odds, but Devello doesn't do that. Just, you know, fight alone... win alone.

“Go down into the world. What are you going to do? ”

“I didn't think. ”

“Don't you want to fight Ajin? ”

When Noya asks, Devello smiles faintly. Noya kicks her tongue and shakes her head.

“I wouldn't recommend fighting him at this point.” “What makes you think that?” “Noya was wrong. ”

Saying so, Noya felt a little humiliated.

Noya criticized Azin for his incompetence. It's true. He has no talent for skilllessness. Slightly better than plain. You can't call yourself a genius. At least... you could say he's a criminal.

Now, Noya didn't intend to say that she was wrong about that. It was because it was certain that Ajin was not a genius.

But he's lustful.

That makes a difference to Devello. Devello's struggle has pain, and Azin has an intense desire to win the game. It makes Azin move forward.

“You need to know desire. ”

During his five years with Devello, Noya told Devello, "My sister said, But Devello doesn't change.

Devello doesn't mean he doesn't want to change. But even that mind is passive. Even when Noya said, "We have to change," it was just because Noya said, "We have to change." Don't be desperate. Devello didn't have any wishes to win this game in the first place.

‘That's a problem.’

You're a genius and you're... you're not greedy. Noya sighs and shakes her head.

“It won't do you any good to say this. ”

Noya grumbled and looked up at the sky.

“Do you want me to call your school? ”

“No, it's okay. ”

Devello shakes his head and replies. She draws her sword from her waist and drops it into the air. Even without a support beam, the black roof does not rise and fall. Devello jumps up lightly and climbs onto the sword.

“Don't fight Against Ajin. ”

A thin sword in the air. Despite standing on it, Devello's balance remains steady. Noya speaks to Devello.

“Only three years ago, Noya thought, If you and Ajin have a fight, you will win.” “You don't think so now?” “At this rate, it's a wake-up call. As long as you're looking at it with all your might. But... he's more emotional and desirable than you. And loyal to the cause. ”

Noya's eyes narrow.

“Azin has a lot of power. He is the emperor of the empire, deeply connected with the emperor of Gracia. For four years, he has made the Advance Empire entirely his own. They call him the Holy Father.” “That doesn't really fit.” “But this is the reality. He knows how to hide his true nature for a reason. In order for you to reach Ajin, you must first kill millions of Imperial soldiers loyal to him.” “That shouldn't be too hard.” “That's right. If you're good at it. The problem is that even if you get to him like that, you have no chance of winning against him.” “You just said it was an alarm.” “Didn't you listen to what he said? It's called a whistle, if you just use your whole life force. In Noya's judgment... if you and Ajin fight properly, you can't beat Ajin. ”

It was a difficult thing to understand as a Devello. The all-out force is a whistle? Then we must fight to win or lose. Millions of empires? Devello didn't think he would lose even if he fought them head-on.

“I told you. He'll use any means he can to win. You will fight Against Azin fairly, using only your sword... but he is different. He's got a lot of hands. ”

If you use the worship of darkness, Azin will be immortal. As long as the queen ruling the forest feels as tough as Noya, and the queen of Devello and Black Forest fights at this point... no victory will be lost.

But what if the Queen of the Black Forest and Azin are working together to kill Devello? Devello won't be able to handle him.

“If you really want to win this fight with Ajin, it's not enough for now.” "Change desires"? "“ means not obstructing the means and means. ”“ I don't know. ”It's hard for you. So don't fight. You have nothing to gain from fighting. ”

Noya sincerely advised. Devello glances at Noya's face, nodding his head. The sword that was under her feet slowly rises up.

“Here we go.”

Noya mutters in a small voice as she looks at Devello's moving back. From now on, Noya will not be able to intervene in this game. Devello has already left Noya's hand. Four years. Players have grown considerably, but unfortunately none have visited the Abbey since Devello and Ajin.

"Players do not function as a third party. In the end... there will be five fights. ’

Can Devello be the last winner? Noya thinks about it, and smiles pitifully. Although he taught Devello for five years, Noya did not want him to win. This is Gladiolus' game, not Noya's.

“There may not be a winner. ”

Noya looks up at the distant sky.

Soon the Demon King will come.
