Desire

After a long time, Devello drags LaQuiz in. LaQuiz was immersed in a strange stream of air, and it did something, and it was a series of invisible hearts. It wraps around Laquis's body and repeats the immediate amputation once his limbs regenerate.

Players do not feel much pain, but it would be horribly unpleasant to have their limbs cut off as soon as they recover. Is it because of that or because I was dragged here under such humiliation? Laquis' face rots miserably. He glances at Raques' face and asks.

“What is the Great Book of Siolence? ”

LaQuiz raises his head to the question. Although Rivera may seem like a fool, to be honest, Azin was quite interested in Nirvana, the most powerful superpower in Siolence. To be honest, even if it was the second time, there was no choice but to greed for the third eye that captured all the attacks and the fountain that caused it to counteract unconsciously.

“... why are you asking that? Are you going to Nirvana to get greedy? ”

LaQuiz laughs and asks. Azin nods frankly.

“This isn't the first time you've been like this to me. Rivera, I don't know, but you think you're pretty good at talking.” “Now what! ”

LaQuiz bursts into laughter. However, he laughed and talked again.

“If you tell me the truth about the ledger, I'll make sure this doesn't happen next time.” What the hell are you talking about taking care of me? ”“ I will take care not to be embarrassed like this. ”

Honestly, I don't have much interest in LaQuiz anymore. Even if he got Nirvana, he was confident he would press LaQuiz, and even if LaQuiz was up to something, he was in a better position than LaQuiz. In fact, it was the same for all representatives except Devello.

She tries to use the Wise Man's Stone to plot something, but fails. The Wise Man's Stone, which he had worked for many years, has been handed over to Azin. It must be later than Azin if he comes now and says that Harvest is making the Wise Man's Stone again. His Black Arm needed to be wary of its power being unknown, but this did not make Jabesh superior to Azin.

In Rivera's case, he had no idea what was inside and what it was capable of. But today, Azin gained insight into Rivera's abilities. Nirvana, the most powerful superpower in Siolence. Azin has already mastered the art of non-polarity and is aimed at gaining the power of the Demon King as an adult. Maybe Nirvana won't be needed in the process.

I still wanted to try it.

“... Haha...”

Laquis' mind was already shattered. Since a few years ago when you invaded the frontier and were defeated by Ajin. Laquis has given up his victory from the bottom of his heart. I met Rivera, and as I fell in love with her, I hoped to win again. It was also broken by the Demon King who had overwhelming power.

I thought it was okay. I was happy to be with Rivera even though I couldn't win. But that was also until today. LaQuiz believes in Rivera, but Rivera doesn't believe in LaQuiz. Rivera has been learning about Nirvana without Laquiz knowing it, and hides it.

“... I quit. ”

LaQuiz bows his head and says,

“Apologies to Primrose... Haha... I can't help it. Not by me. I can't...”

Azin looks back at LaQuiz, who mutters like that. Laquis chuckles and laughs.

“The great book is the Senate of Siolence. It's in the basement. That's where all the psychic powers that Siolence has are. I don't know if there's a Nirvana or not. ”

Laquis sighs after saying so. That's all LaQuiz knew about the Great Book. It was because he had never set foot in front of Mocha. Mokhsha's power is to use every superpower freely. It was because Nirvana was not included within the perimeter of 'all superpowers,’ but it was because Laquis had no interest in the great book where superpowers were stored, even though he did not know Nirvana existed.

“You're quitting?”

Azin leans over his head and asks. He nods his head in a depressed look.

“Competition has lost its meaning. I should have quit right away... Haha! No, it's a good thing I knew so clearly. That way, you won't even have a sense of humor...” LaQuiz mutters in a self-help voice. Actually, it didn't have to be that depressing. Win the game to get what I want. It became impossible, but I didn't exactly have what I wanted to accomplish with LaQuiz in the first place. In addition, LaQuiz accumulated enormous wealth as he grew to the pinnacle of a great continent called Siolence, a top ranker. If things get messy, money can solve them without the need for power.

“Suit yourself.”

Laquis gave up on the game and didn't give any inspiration to Azin. Even if LaQuiz continues to play, his existence has no impact on Azin. However, Azin shakes his hand lightly because he had to do what he had to do. Laquis' neck falls over the sea.

“Next?”

Devello glances at Azin and asks. Devello was like a castrated machine. No. A sharp blade that throws itself as the owner wields it over a machine. Again, Devello fulfills Azin's orders without complaint.

“Those bastards...! ”

The late bird flutters its wings, vomiting bored voices. Azin and Devello defeated Laquiz and Rivera in a battle that seemed to him to have slipped beyond human boundaries.

“I fulfilled my promise to the bride. ”

Azin glances at his writing and says,

“There's nothing for me to do after that. I'll see you around. ”

It's not that they're not interested in a land called Nornia. For now, however, the value of Nornia, which Azin understands, is the land that safeguards the people of the continent. Perhaps there is magic in Nornia that uses concepts, like Jinn and Siolence.

But I didn't intend to go out looking for something that I didn't even know existed. First, we need to take steps from what we can get.

“Let's go to Siolence. ”

Like I said, "Lose the horn," Azin was headed straight for Siolence. This swift move was a concern that Rivera might not be making a mockery of it after the resurrection.

The southernmost of the continent, Nornia and the northernmost of Siolence, are well within striking distance. However, Azin and Devello's speed is fast enough that they can rush the narrow streets. Asin had no reason to hesitate unless the Demon King acted directly. It is because there are no monsters among the Horsemen that can defeat him except the Demon King.

They quickly crossed oceans and continents. Before the time of Ribera's death penalty was over, Azin and Devello entered Siolence's territory.

‘The Grand Clergy said it was under the Senate. ’

There were many horses in Siolence. However, they were unable to identify the movement of azin. I confirmed the position of the Senate when I came to Siolence the last time, so there was no difficulty in heading to the Senate.

The Senate, which took the form of the Greek temple, was already ruined. All the great Espers of Siolence that existed in the previous Senate were wiped out by LaQuiz, and all the elders who had not achieved a mental state and had lived as old bodies were purged. Since Laquis reigned as the absolute seat of Siolence, the Senate has become useless, and those who controlled the building have all fled or died after the Horses had won the war.

“Why are you here? ”

Except for one.

Hasen was as immutable as he had long seen. Hassen, with his dirty beard and his skinny body, looks at pain with his dull dead eyes.

“What brings you to this ruin?” “Nirvana. ”

Azin opens his mouth. Hassen's face twitches. He shrugs, smiling and waving his head to the left and to the right.

“I see... Nirvana. I can't believe you knew that. I wished my damn apprentice were back here...”

Harsen's voice was mixed with a deep sigh. After becoming a Mokhsha and losing to Azin, Laquiz completely turned his back on Hazen. Even after killing the Senate, Hazen opposed LaQuiz's actions, but he subdued Hazen and executed him. He hasn't seen Hazen since.

“LaQuiz gave up the game. ”

Azin replied with a grave voice. Hassen's face became blank.

“Fool...”

After a long silence, Hassen mutters. He stoops down and lowers his head deeply. Hasen taught Laquis everything. Since LaQuiz's unthinkable days, Hasen has given LaQuiz his powerful superpower, Fresh, and taught him about the utilization of his superpowers and the performance of his mind.

“Giving up... that gift was real... silly... silly...”

Hasen mutters with a blank face. After encountering many superpowers, LaQuiz no longer learned how to freshen up. Ever since I became Mocha, I haven't even practiced my mind. Laquis' talents to Mokhsha were real, but he had no mind to continue his talents. Nevertheless, he tried his best as a disciple and as a teacher of LaQuiz. Don't be arrogant. Be true to yourself... It was no one but LaQuiz who did not listen to so many words and treated Hasen like a nosy old man.

“You're... greedy. ”

At the end of the mound, Hasen looks at Azin.

“You've already reached the apex of the shameless... aren't you going to stop drinking to Nirvana?” “The more you can write, the better. ”

Azin answered without hesitation.

“You can't fight the Demon King alone.” “If you have Nirvana, you can fight the Demon King.” “You don't know that. I didn't get Nirvana.” Azin said so, looking into the Senate. Hasen glances at Devello near Azin. Haven't known why he was with Devello and Azin, but Hasen didn't ask about him. Instead, he giggles and laughs after a long silence.

“Raw snow. I never imagined the girl would end up like this... I was sure my chosen apprentice would be the best...”

Hasen raises his head as he says.

“Come.”

“... What is it? ”

Ignoring Azin's question, Hasen walks with a trembling motion. In the middle of the temple, Hassen slowly raises his hand. The chakra sprayed from her body seeps into the floor of the temple. Then the deformed figures appear and the floor of the temple collapses.

“You have broken my disciple. ”

Hasen mutters.

“I don't blame you. It's just... my apprentice was no better than you. The disciple I picked was worse than the disciple with the black snow scent...”

Asin, Hasen, and Devello slowly fall to the ground.

“So you must defeat the Demon King. ”

Hasen stares at Ajin as he says.

“You have broken my disciple. You must defeat the Demon King. ”

The three falling into the darkness, it didn't take long before they could set foot on the ground. Azin looks around. Appropriate for its name, the arrival of the three was at the center of a massive archive.

“My wretched disciple has never come here since he turned his back on me. ”

Hasen mumbles as he walks.

“And I... didn't find my apprentice. When I found Nirvana. I longed for my disciple to return. I didn't go looking for him myself. Khh... Pride. What pride...”

Hasen said so, crossing the library.

“I wanted to repent and come back begging. I was going to give you Nirvana's location. But it was too late... too late. ”

A few dozen bookshelves later, Hassen's steps stopped. The place where he stopped was no different from the bookshelves that had passed so far. Hassen reaches for the bookshelf. Chakra's bitten hands pull out all the books from the bookshelf.

At that moment, Chakra enters the bookshelf from which the book was drawn, and the whole town trembles. As the floor trembles, the bookshelves begin to move.

“Fool...”

Hasen's last sigh flashes back at Laquis.
