It Is Fate To Be Loved by the Villains

49. talk

The situation was sorted out faster than expected.

Anyway, since the beophwang itself, the party to the case, went over without arguing, the biggest thing was that it was difficult to say anything because other people intervened.

“…However, the number of groups that want to get involved with you will increase a lot.”

Although Atalanta left those words with a sigh.

“Empires and tribal unions will start to take an interest in your future in earnest. It would be better to prepare your mind in advance.”

I already know that, President.

‘…It’s a set procedure anyway.’

As you progress through the main scenario, you have no choice but to become deeply involved with them, whether you like it or not. I’d rather get attention as soon as possible so that I can take the initiative to set the stage.

It is a pandemonium filled with chiefs of tribal unions, the imperial family, and, in the end, hungry demons who want to take care of themselves. Not to mention Seonghwangguk.

Standing in this irreplaceable position can block most attempts to wield me at will.

Things that will bother you will come later.

“Rather than that, the sister side.”

Well, things related to that can be thought about later when things shut up.

In the end, the most important thing to progress in Chapter 2 is that side.

It was because of you that I ended up negotiating with Seonghwangguk.

“The saintess has not yet fully recovered her consciousness. It’s nothing serious, so you’ll come to your senses in a day or two. My younger sister is attached to take care of it.”

“That’s good.”

I answer by shaking my head.

“Then can I fit in with the delegation schedule?”

“…Are you going to do it after getting hit by the emperor to save him?”

I can’t help it because that’s the most important thing.

I laughed at Atalanta who spoke in an absurd tone.

Originally, the delegation dispatched regularly from the Holy Land always conducts ‘blessing’ work while sweeping the entire interior of Elfante.

And that’s the first step to curing the curse of severance on Yuria’s sword.

Because that event itself becomes a trigger to heal the trauma he suffered.

‘I don’t have much time left…’

3 days at most.

Considering the Purifier boss fight in the first chapter, it’s better to assume that the scenario always rolls out from worst to worst.

And if you think about what awaits you after 3 days, it would be more correct to say that the event related to the boy king boss fight will unconditionally explode there.

In other words.

If the curse of severance on Yuria is not released, it is virtually game over.

“When the saintess comes to her senses, tell her to see her face.”

So, what.

I will also remove the checks that would allow Seonghwangguk to enter.

What’s left.

“…I want to talk about your ‘long-cherished wish’.”

It is to truly save them.

＜System Message＞

[ You have completed the main quest! ]

[One ‘Echo of Sanctification’ will be given! ]

[One ‘seed of evil’ will be given! ]

I looked at the falling windows and stroked my chin.

It’s a quest that met the clearing conditions a long time ago by saving Lucien the other day, but I’m busy with this and that, so I’m accepting it now.

[ Echo of Sanctification ]

[ Material: Growth Material – Holy ]

[If you fuse it to a ‘divine’ related item that can be grown, you can raise the item’s grade once. ]

I look at the blue magic stone in my grasp.

It’s okay.

Usually, the main quest’s reward item depends on who the target of the intertwined quest is.

In a situation like now, when Lucien and Yuria, who are divine-type abilities, are intertwined, rewards are usually paid in relation to them.

‘and…’

Coincidentally, I also have something that goes well with this.

Snorting a snort, he inspected the palm-sized incense burner in his hand.

Perhaps, in the original work, when you grow a consecrated Ultrama, it is the built-in skills that are strengthened.

The ‘Penance’ skill, which can turn all additional stats into durability, and the ‘Divine Shield’ skill, which can summon a shield whose durability is as hard as the stat.

Both have been useful as they are now, but if you consider the level of normal strengthening when feeding growth materials like this, it will become much more powerful.

‘The Department of Production will have a hard time.’

Perhaps sooner or later there will be something to ask for, and then you can use it to strengthen your Ultramar.

Thinking so, I flipped through the window.

Apart from this, there is one more thing.

[ Seed of Evil ]

[ Currency: Special ]

[Can be exchanged for special skills in the Point Shop. ]

[Current number of holdings: 4]

That’s it.

In addition to the ones obtained from Elijah and Talion before, and the ones obtained by clearing the main quest this time, there are four in total.

Originally, I tried to use it in the Purifier boss fight before, but I gave up because I couldn’t find a suitable one.

‘However…’

If you have 4 or so, you will definitely have a useful skill.

For example.

◎ Exploration plan

[ Skill: Special ]

[ Price: 4 Seeds of Evil ]

[ Once a day, you can check your opponent’s stats. ]

I mean something like this.

[You have purchased ‘Special Skill: Search Eye’! ]

[Starting today, you can check your opponent’s ability once a day. ]

Since the Seed of Evil itself is a rare commodity that only pops up in gift rewards or main quests, this skill that eats it up is very simple but powerful.

Basically, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is absolutely no loss due to a lot of information.

“Ah, Daud.”

And just then, the perfect person to test this appeared in front of me.

I find myself at the end of the hallway and look at Elnor, who is walking towards me with an expressionless expression.

[ Use ‘search plan’. ]

[ Retrieve the information of the target. ]

[ A 24-hour cooldown is applied to the same target. ]

First of all, getting information about this person is the first priority.

Elnor or Elijah, they are people whose future course of action itself changes according to their growth standards. Because they are the most important characters in the scenario.

[ Elnor Elinalize La Tristan ]

[ Feature: Bowl – Gray Devil ]

[ Status: Calculating distance between Duchy of Tristan and Baron Campbell to push back sleepiness. ]

[Special Note: Following someone as instructed by Dowd Campbell for 72 hours. I’m very tired, but I feel better because I just saw Doud Campbell. ]

“…”

Seeing that even this kind of information is extracted, I think it is a skill with 4 seeds of evil, but the important thing is what lies beneath it.

＜ Misc. ＞

-Currently fused ‘Devil’s Pieces’: 1

-Step 1 fusion progress: 80%

– Corruption Progression: 2%

‘…Also.’

Aside from the eye-catching stats, look at the phrases ‘Convergence Progress’ and ‘Corruption Progress’ written at the bottom.

If it’s a devil’s bowl, it’s an item that should be marked in common.

‘The fusion progress is already 80%.’

This is a measure of how much the piece has started to ‘blend’ with the body of the bowl.

The most notable effect is the change in personality and abilities. Just like in the case of Yuria, who became dependent and obsessed with the piece of the white devil.

It is clear that being angry once before, enough to awaken the spirit skill, had a big impact.

If this reaches 100%, it means that this person’s personality will have a big impact, just like YuRia. Right now, it seems to have ended with the addition of an unknown ability called ???.

“…”

At least, I hope that Elnor doesn’t change to a scary side like Yuria.

Thinking so, I turned my eyes to the other side of the window.

Corruption progression is a measure of how bad the vessel’s mentality is. When this is full, the pieces inside explode and create a mess.

If it happens with just one piece, it’s catastrophic, and if it happens with all the pieces together, well.

It’s like going straight to game over.

‘2% is fine.’

Originally, Elnorre at the beginning of Chapter 2 should be filled to at least 20%.

However, both Elijah and Gideon, which must have been the biggest source of stress, are unable to pay attention to Elnor because of me.

As I continued to think, words flew from Elnor.

“I wanted to die all this while.”

“…”

You are 2% now.

As soon as I saw your face, I hope you refrain from saying things like 92% of the corruption progress.

“…why?”

“The target you asked to follow is really not an ordinary human.”

Elnor shook his head with a sigh.

It wouldn’t be very common for this person to talk like this, not another person, but since the target is the target, I understand.

“…Still, I’ve figured out a rough pattern of behavior.”

So, I know very well that it really makes no sense to bring up such a thing.

“…really?”

When I asked again with my eyes wide open, Elnor held out a bundle of papers to me.

Written on the inside is a detailed summary of what one person was doing and where inside the academy during the midterm exam.

‘…Wow.’

you really did this

I asked for it, but I thought it would be a difficulty that was close to impossible.

Also the final boss.

Thinking about that, Elnor put his arms on either side of his waist and pushed his chest out.

Ahem, he looks like he’s bragging. in an expressionless manner.

“You could thank me a little more…”

And he hugged Elnor tightly.

It was something I committed because of the joy that burst out of me without knowing it.

“You really, really worked hard, Elnor! I will definitely return it later!”

“…”

Leaving the frozen Elnor alone in that position, he ran at a speed.

I had to go right now and meet the human being who is the ‘object’ of this material.

●

“…”

Elnor looked down at his uniform in silence.

She took off her coat with a solemn expression, then folded it over her arm.

‘…I’ll have to keep this.’

Well.

At least, I intend not to wash it for as long as possible.

While thinking about that, she suddenly remembered Daud’s ‘hand’ that had just embraced her.

‘A little bigger than I thought, isn’t it?’

Then, it would be better to increase the size of the ‘ring’ that is being produced now.

“…”

If you deliver it, what kind of expression will that man make?

want to be upset want to be happy if not.

On the spot, right there.

accept or do

“…don’t have unreasonable expectations.”

After muttering those words to herself, she soon started walking in a strict motion again.

But, nonetheless.

The corners of his mouth were slightly twisted.

With a look that couldn’t hide the anticipation.

●

A common mistake for someone who has seen the future turn into the past many times is that he will never value time.

not. Absolutely not.

Balcasus was a person who knew better than anyone how precious the ‘now’ was, even for a fleeting moment.

It was thanks to that that I have a noble hobby of appreciating the scenery.

Academy’s clock tower.

Sitting in a building that rises high enough to pierce the sky, you can see the sun going over the sky better than anywhere else.

Thanks to the disappearance of sunlight and the creation of a space where darkness slowly enters, the shape of his arm, located in a place where no light can reach, has changed.

Rather than changing their appearance, they reveal their ‘truth’.

The outline melts and flows down. It assimilates into the darkness and scatters poison.

The price of bearing the burden of eternity. The bridle that the laws of the world put upon him.

“…”

He looked at her like that for a moment, then smiled and patted her.

“…I’d better train my stamina a bit.”

And as soon as the words were finished, someone came panting to the top of the clock tower.

Running up this distance would be something any physically healthy Elfante student could do with a bit of effort, but now this student was visibly depleted of stamina to the point of going between near death and near death.

Looking at his bloodshot eyes and rough breathing, it must be funny, but instead of laughing at it, Balkasus decided to say one more word.

“Are you Doud Campbell?”

“…Do you, Heo Eok, know me?”

“I’m going to run out of breath. Please sit down for a while.”

Balkasus said that and recommended a seat with his gaze.

Daoud, who staggered and sat next to him, gasped for a while before finally speaking.

“How do I know?”

“The pioneer sent it with a special request, but how can I not know? They said it would be the biggest stumbling block to what I was doing here.”

Daoud nodded slowly.

“…okay.”

Daoud also nodded his head in response.

In my head, I kept recalling information about the other person.

boy king. ‘Background’ in Chapter 2.

Why is it a background and not the final boss?

The king of the dead that has been around for thousands of years.

A monster whose existence itself is closer to a ‘phenomenon’ or ‘concept’ rather than a ‘human’.

The ruler who returned the simple and warm wish that all his people would be happy for a long time in the most terrible form.

What would such a person do here?

If you think about the main scenario, you’ll get a truly absurd answer.

The sentence that followed was also a question that came out with the hope that it would not be as much as that.

“…to kill all the people here, resurrect them, turn them into dead people, and then rule them?”

Balkasus nodded his head calmly.

What followed was a very simple tone.

“Three days later.”

“…”

Daoud sighed heavily.
