EP.112 Human obsession (1)
Gletus, the apostate.
She recalls something from long ago. Nowadays, it is a thing of the distant past called ancient times.
Gleria.
‘Gleria, Bel Armias.’
There was a time when it was called by that name.
I received prayers from many people. He carried out the will of a high being. It was a boring life, but now it is a time that has become a memory.
-Gleria.
At that time, there was a wizard who was always by his side. He was wise. He was a man with matching gray hair.
-You messed up again, Gleria.
-···Aren’t those words too harsh?
-Your damn thing should only last a day or two. Did you read the medical book I gave you? When using healing magic, you have to align the bones first?
-But, it’s difficult.
-I’m going to turn. Follow me. It would be faster if I taught.
He was a man who took care of himself even though he complained.
-Thank you, Armiel.
-Call me by name. It’s not a baptismal name I like very much.
-Do I like this one better?
When everyone saw themselves as different beings, they saw themselves as equal human beings. Gleria liked that gaze. I liked the indifferent words he threw out.
Good times pass quickly.
A lot of things happened.
The light that I thought would never disappear has disappeared. The stars were silent. Everything I knew collapsed. The wizard gave up everything, and the swordsman gave up his pride.
At the end of destruction, Gleria became Gletus.
The woman who became an apostate blinks her eyes. Time passes by and returns to the present. A voice that sounded like someone grinding their teeth rang in my ears.
“You, now…”
Gray hair swayed before my eyes.
Blue eyes sparkle beyond the shaking hair. I can see the emotions fluctuating in the eyes.
‘iced coffee.’
A smile spread across Gletus’s lips.
“What are you going to do, Ash?”
Looking at the present while recalling the past.
The first gray child is adorable. It’s so adorable that I want to make it my own right away.
“me.”
Reach out and touch your child’s cheek.
“What are you going to do for me?”
The gray face distorts.
Even his facial expression resembled the man in his memories, and Gletus stopped laughing.
Crispy.
The contract made binds one’s body. Cracks appear in the body. The time given is not long. Despite knowing it, Gletus stretched out his arms.
iced coffee.
Please, just a little more.
I hope we can reminisce about the past a little more.
2.
The next generation hero, Chloe.
Her rescue wasn’t that difficult. She found traces of their movement in the underground waterway. If even the slightest trace is found, there is no way to avoid Kalt’s pursuit.
‘It’s thanks to the help of the Black Magic Tower Lord.’
This is thanks to the traces of the Black Magic Tower owner who voluntarily investigated. Kalt, who encountered him in the underground waterway, carried out a mission together.
The dark magic tower lord was a capable wizard.
The job was handled quickly. It didn’t take long to protect Chloe’s identity.
“Escort them to the royal road.”
After giving instructions to the remaining hounds, Kalt immediately took a step back. He started running in the opposite direction from the other hounds.
‘I have to go back quickly.’
I was anxious for no reason.
All I could think was ominous thoughts. Because it was not far from Cadinac, Kalt was able to return to Cadinac quickly.
And the moment I returned to Cadinac.
Kalt sensed something was wrong.
“······.”
The knights who are supposed to stand guard holding spear swords are staring blankly somewhere. Kalt looked where the knights’ eyes were directed.
Boom, boom.
The place where the gaze is directed is the castle wall.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The castle wall is collapsing with a loud noise. The wall that protected Cadinac for over a hundred years is collapsing. A pile of stones falls.
thud.
The ground shakes.
Dust rises.
“···ah.”
“iced coffee···.”
The knights sigh helplessly. Even though the walls of the city they are supposed to protect are collapsing, there is nothing they can do.

“······.”
Kalt is also silent.
I don’t see other articles. However, in Kalt’s eyes, he is slightly stepping into the ranks of superhumans.
The appearance of a rampaging gray wizard.
The sight of disaster facing her.
Kalt’s eyes quickly read the battle situation. Kalt, who was close to her and assisted Raniel, knows her well. It was not difficult for him to analyze the war situation.
‘···Can not be done.’
Draw a conclusion.
‘If things continue like this, you lose.’
If there was only one apostate, it might be okay.
However, the opponent is not just an apostate. There is something unknown that guards the apostate’s side. That’s driving Raniel into a corner.
Quickly.
Kalt gritted his teeth.
I can’t go there myself. I don’t even think that going there will help. It is a fight that takes place in a faraway place.
It was then.
“Hound. “Can’t you hear me?”
I heard a voice from behind me.
Kalt quickly turned his head and looked back.
“···Black Magic Tower Lord?”
“Now you’re finally listening. “It ran so quickly that I had to sweat to chase it.”
The black magic tower lord, Yetual.
He continued speaking out of breath.
“I heard that Belnoa is here. So, he came to say that he would join in the rescue…”
He laughed and glanced at the castle wall.
“Anyway, I don’t think that’s the case.”
His eyes were trembling as he looked at the castle wall. Yetual is a wizard. As a wizard, he could see the flow of mana overflowing from the castle walls.
Yetual narrowed his eyes.
I expanded my field of vision and looked at the situation on the walls.
‘······You’re crazy.’
Yetual swallowed his breath.
‘What on earth is that?’
And, why is Professor Rania there? The being she is dealing with… what on earth is that ominous being?
‘···I know what it is.’
I know, but I just can’t believe it.
Yetual opened his mouth with a trembling voice.
“Rania van Trias.”
Yetual’s gaze turned to Kalt.
“Unless my eyes are wrong with what she’s dealing with…”
He said.
“Isn’t that the apostate, Gletus?”
I know it’s strong.
However, dealing with an apostate alone…is a problem on a completely different level. The word strong alone does not express it.
“no way.”
Yetual expressed a guess that had occurred to him, a possibility that he had probably thought about several times.
“That girl is gray…”
“Black Magic Tower Master.”
Kalt’s voice cuts off Yetual’s conversation. Kalt’s eyes look straight at Yetual. Those eyes resemble those of Raniel, who is fighting in the distance.
“One thing, I would like to ask you a favor.”
Eyes that capture possibility.
The knight who had been the closest assistant to the gray wizard came to resemble her without even realizing it.
Don’t miss out on the possibilities you have.
Even if it means burning my body.
“Please lend that to me.”
Kalt pointed at something.
Yetual blinked. It didn’t take him long to understand what he was saying.
“···Are you serious?”
“yes.”
“I guess it’s obvious where to use it. Are you planning to intervene there?”
“That’s right.”
“I don’t really recommend it.”
Kalt said, smoothing the hilt of his sword.
“Still, shouldn’t we do something?”
3.
Wow!
My body exploded with shock. As the watchtower collapsed, Gletus’ body stopped. There is no pain. There is no damage. Gletus raised his head.
widely.
Raniel kicks the ground.
As he watched the fist approaching his nose, Gletus did not blink an eye. Just smile.
Suddenly.
Kuntel swung his sword. A sharp sword gently cuts through the bouncing rubble. The place where the tip of the sword is aimed is the nape of Raniel’s neck.
Fit.
Raniel twists his body and blocks the sword.
It cannot be completely blocked. Blood spurted out from Raniel’s forearm. Wounds increase.
It was like that all along.
There was not a single wound left on Gletus’ body. In comparison, the wounds on Raniel’s body only increased.
Cuts, bites, and breaks.
However, it doesn’t stop. Those eyes never waver. Eyes filled with will are determined.
‘You keep rushing at me.’
Gletus looked at Raniel.
In her eyes, who has lived for nearly a thousand years, the girl’s life is just a moment.
Human life is short.
This fleeting life passes by in the blink of an eye.
What will you leave behind in this short amount of time?
Does life, which is only a moment, have meaning?
Since ancient times, numerous races have thought that way about humans. Elves, who lived for nearly eternity, laughed at humans. The demons mocked human weakness.
Humans lived in ridicule and ridicule.
However, Gletus knows.
‘It is always humans who are chosen by the stars.’
There are people who burn their short lives on fire.
There are people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for a cause. There are people who refine their lives for one purpose.
Their fleeting lives shine brightly.
“iced coffee.”
A woman who has lost her light in the face of splendor groans.
“So beautiful.”
The girl leaps, coughing up blood.
Every time she moved, blood splattered everywhere. She constantly resists. I move my body. It’s not all meaningless.
Push!
Raniel’s fist hit Kuntel’s arm. The rotten arm crumbled easily.
Bababababaak!
Dozens of hard hits rain down. Her forearms burn brightly. Kuntel’s body begins to break down as the bundle of spells rushes in with a flash of light.
Clap.
Unfortunately, Kuntel loses one eye.
Even while dealing with a torrent of demonic beasts and Kuntel at the same time, Raniel is not pushed back at all. Rather, it overwhelms.
‘No matter how weakened it is…’
Kuntel, created by an apostate, is a masterpiece.
Raniel is overwhelming it.
Okay.
Blood was splattered.
Raniel’s red, bloodshot eyes turn towards Gletus. Gletus met those eyes.
Intense gaze.
Eyes filled with obsession.
And, eyes that resembled those in my memory.
“···aha.”
Gletus smiled ecstatically.
Raniel’s body shines with starlight. It is different from the starlight of the blessed.
‘Starlight created by burning life.’
Light created by burning what you have.
The fleeting light of a short life burning and flashing.
A beautiful light that lasts only for a moment.
Toad, toad, toad, toad, toad!
Raniel rips off Kuntel’s arm.
Break the fingers holding the sword and kick the body away. She pushed her foot into the gap created like that.
Coo!
As soon as it hit the ground, the brick bounced up.
As she takes a step forward, blood pours from the wounds on her body.
Patter.
It’s not just blood that’s pouring out.
Ashes scattered everywhere burn in an instant. The heat that comes with the flash erases the demonic beasts.
“ah.”
Gletus let out an exclamation.
A girl reaches out her hand through the heat. The place where her hand is directed is the arm of Gletus, which is connected to the other world.
It really touches.
The magical beast protecting the body burned away.
It’s only a moment, but Gletus senses the end.
