“What are you looking at? ”

Sharp eyes shoot down your messy forehead. I didn't think you'd be surprised to see the Demon King all of a sudden. Azin thought of that and refined his face. I thought the Doppelgänger of Laquis would be somewhere, too. But I never thought I'd see the Doppelgänger of Laquis here. Naturally, Azin thought the Doppelgänger of Laquis would be somewhere in Siolence.

“... who are you? ”

“Guardian of this place. ”

The Guardian replies. He does not speak his name, and Azin does not ask for it. Azin looks around at the ancient ruins that lie beneath the desert. The signs of old were inevitable, but not messy.

“Are you looking for Requiem? ”

The Guardian asks for Azin. Devello stands behind Azin's back, looking at the Slither Guardian. In Devello's head, the guardian and the bride of Camila and Nornia, Lamir, passed by. I couldn't think of it as a coincidence. If Devello had met the Emperor of Jinjin and the Emperor of Gracia, he would have been able to think of more families.

“... are you defending Requiem?” “Yes. ”

Azin nods. I never imagined that the guardian of Requiem would be the Doppelgänger of Laquis. However, this does not change Azin's behavior.

Was LaQuiz more gifted at magic? ’

I just thought about it a little bit. This was also a pointless idea. Even though LaQuiz had a magical aptitude, not a superpower, he had already given up the game. I've been through the ruins, but I couldn't find anything special about them. Azin turns to the Guardian. The Guardian narrows his eyes and examines Azin.

"Not bad..."

The Guardian does not display aggressive and disruptive power. But Azin could feel the power of the Guardian. Surprisingly, the guardian's power was stronger than any doppelganger he had ever met. In fact, it was proof that LaQuiz had the talent he needed. Azin opens his mouth, looking into the Guardian's eyes.

“How do I get used to Requiem?” “You have to ask my permission. ”

“Then allow me. ”

In response, he replies as if he had nothing to think about. No drama, no nirvana. The learning itself was not difficult. It was just difficult to grow after I learned it. However, it is not a big problem as long as you have completed the non-polarity. I don't know what kind of magic Requiem is, but if I can learn Requiem, I'll be able to reach the polarity in a heartbeat with extreme intensity, just like Nirvana did.

“No.”

The guard slowly shakes his head across.

“I won't allow it. ”

Azin's face hardens in the Guardian's reply. It reminds me of what the Demon King left behind. Requiem said it wouldn't be as easy to get as it used to be. Azin picked his breath.

“Why won't you let me? I don't have that kind of authority." “You have the authority. I've been protecting Requiem for a long time. These ruins won't move unless I say so. If the ruins don't move, you won't get Requiem.” “So? ”

“I don't want you to get a requiem. That's all." “... So what's the reason? Because I'm cocky?”

Azin slumps. The guard shakes his shoulders and laughs.

“That's why I'm not so confident that I won't teach you. Even if you fart at me, I won't let you get the requiem.” “Why is that?" ”

“You're too strong. ”

The guard replies in a low voice.

“You are already learning two conceptual skills, except Requiem. If you can master one of them properly, you can rule the world forever, and you're learning two of them. Is that all? You are a god. There is no one in the world who has the same personality as you.” What does that matter? ”

The Guardian's words distort Azin's face. I thought I was stuck in this underground ruin and I didn't know what was going on, but I didn't think it was just like that. The word 'the world that has become like this' proves that the earth has become a wasteland for the Demon King and the Horsemen.

“Because I'm strong? You think that's a reason to reject me? The Demon King and the Horsemen wiped out the civilization from the face of the earth, and the few humans who survived became livestock and clowns for the Horsemen. I've become a god to save them, and I'm looking for the skill of will. To defeat the Demon King!” After defeating the Demon King? ”

The Guardian asked.

“For a human being like me, don't give me the same crap. I'm human, too, but I don't have any humanity. Do you understand what I'm saying? For me, it doesn't matter who rules the earth. ”

The Guardian laughs as he says so.

“What do I have to do with the Demon King ruling the earth? The end of the world? Civilization destroyed? It's a human world, a human civilization. In the beginning, it was arrogance to think that this world belonged to humans. Home changes owners someday. Human to Horse changed its owner. ”

Azin stares at the Guardian in a daze. The Guardian, however, ignores Azin's gaze and continues to talk.

“I don't know what you're going to do or what you're going to become after the Demon King. I don't want to hear your ideas or excuses. I'm not asking you to convince me. It's just, I don't like it. Being involved in the flow.” “... what if I haven't mastered any other ideological skills?” “Then he would have given you the requiem. Your power is too dangerous. I don't know what will happen when I master all three conceptual skills, and I don't know what monsters will be born. That's why I don't want to do it. ”

It won't be easy to learn Requiem. I fully understood what the Demon King said. The guardian guarding this ruin and delivering the Requiem was crazy enough to just go with Noya. So this is what the Guardian says. I don't want to get involved in the world, and I don't want to empower you because you're too dangerous. Azin raises his gaze at the Guardian. Cavala unfolds behind his back and opens a third eye in the middle of Azin's brow. The Guardian laughs as he watches Azin unfold Nirvana.

“Are you trying to overwhelm me with strength? Does that mean anything to you? Even if you torture me, I won't give you the regime. If you kill me, you'll lose your way.” “... Well. Maybe it is. ”

Azin nods slowly. The Guardian insists on not teaching you, so you can't learn Requiem unless you break that stubbornness. He was confident in his speech, but there is no guarantee he will persuade the Guardian through him.

Azin's eyes turned golden.

“Obey me. ”

I didn't have to convince him. Azin's absolute command of the traitor title has been triggered. The High Horse's absolute command did not work. It was because their mental strength was superior to that of pain. But not the Guardian. Mind power is a will, and it is only the Demon King or Noya who is ahead of him now with a will of Azin.

As soon as Azin's words are finished, the guardian's eyes are dazed. It was proof that the absolute command worked. Azin looks into the guardian's condition and asks.

“What's your name? ”

“Egor.”

“What's a Requiem? ”

“One of the three conceptual technologies that exists in this world. It allows you to conceive of all magic and to cast a fantasy spell that is different from casting or ordaining.” “What is fantasy magic? ”

“A human casting spell or decree can only make existing magic unfold more easily and quickly. However, fantasy magic creates magic that does not exist in fantasy, so that it can be unfolded. ”

The Guardian opened his eyes and answered Azin's question straightaway. The story didn't catch on.

“Deliver the Requiem. ”

The guardian nods, dazed by what Ajin says. As the Guardian raises his hands, the ruins begin to vibrate. The old walls of the ruins are filled with unknown geometric characters. It shifts color as the guardian's hands drift away from the wall. The guard sweeps his lips, manipulating the text with his hands. Along with a long voice of low voices, the characters roam around Ajin. The guardian's permission is important, but there are no other conditions to master Requiem. It was the same as Nirvana or nothing.

[Egor, the Guardian of the Ancient Ruins, wishes to convey the Requiem to you.]

[Do you accept Requiem?]

Yes, after a short answer. The wandering texts were sucked into Azin's body. Azin felt a strange energy coming into his body. The full power of magic blends with nonpolarity and Nirvana. It was three different types of conceptual skills, but in the end it was the same. Azin checks the status window for the addition of requiem and looks at the guardian.

“... Huff! ”

The Guardian wakes up late. He staggers for a moment, then opens his eyes and stares at the pain. He realizes what has happened to him and trembles in anger.

“In this dreary and cowardly way...!” “That's right. I'm always like that. Tired and cowardly.”

Azin nods.

“If you had been persuasive, I would have tried to persuade you. Why? You'll have more fun. But in the first place, you didn't have any convincing. I don't really like abuse of command in this way, but... what can I do? The rush was on my side, and you nailed me down to refuse to listen. ”

Azin ridicules me. The Guardian shrugs. Azin looks at the guardian's face and opens his mouth.

“Go ahead and poop your pants every day, and have a spoonful of it.” “Yes. ”

The Guardian's eyes are dazed, and he nods his head. This was also applicable to a wide range of commands to obey unconditionally. Immediately, the Guardian wakes up and screams. The memory of obedience remains intact, so that he remembers the horrible and dirty commands left behind by Ajin.

“Why are you doing this! ”

“I don't like you. ”

Azin said frankly.

“I said I didn't want to teach openly, but of course I'm offended. I thought I'd kill you, but if you're trying to kill me with something like this, it doesn't make me feel good. So let me end with this. ”

Azin says so and turns away. The Guardian screams in despair. Azin decided to test the new conceptual magic he obtained while trying to leave the ruins through the entrance. Requiem's ability allows you to use fantasy magic in addition to mixing your mind with magic. Azin recalls the image while he was conscious of the magic of fantasy.

Then a big door appeared in front of Ajin. Azin reaches out and grabs the door hook, adhering to his cautious attitude. Slowly turn the door hook and pull the door. Beyond the open door is a familiar forest of forests. Azin checks it out and walks out into the woods.

An ancient forest in Nornia. In a straight line from the Gratia Bullisal Desert to the ancient forest. Without calculating the coordinates, I simply imagined it to be so, and I moved a tremendous distance.

‘Nirvana's Cavalry and Third Eye identify and respond to all attacks. The magic of Requiem's fantasy makes the magic unfold with images alone. Ultimately, it spreads out strong physical abilities and attackers. ’

Azin outlined three conceptual skills. Body and power gained by being a god there. If I add all this up, I can stand up to the Demon King. I'm not sure yet. Nevertheless, it was also true that Azin was no longer able to do anything further.

I became an adult, I became a god. You have mastered all the conceptual skills that exist in the first, and you have mastered them with polarity by interworking with non-polarity. If there's one thing I can do, it's save more people, make them into followers, and boost their morale and power. If we add additional mysticism to it, we won't be able to gain a huge powerless rise.

‘Maybe it's time. ’

It reminds me of the Black Snow, Persian, and Camila that were in the crystals.

It's time to come back.
