Part 2, Episode 63 (256)
The sacrifice of many for a greater cause.
The sacrifice of few for the lives of many.
Such choices and moral weighing—I despised them more than anything.
Yet villains always seemed to make them.
“Pir, can you slip through to the other side and save the people?”
“Kyuah!”
“I’m counting on you.”
Judging by Kaiser Laximan’s composed demeanor, he had likely cast a binding spell to prevent anyone from leaving this place.
According to Rasifer, blocking another mage’s teleportation was one of the most basic barrier spells.
But a dragon?
Even a hatchling was a being fundamentally different from humans.
As proof, hadn’t Pir already descended to the sealed lower floors and retrieved Blake safely?
‘Five minutes remain.’
Diolrose must have seen the clock that materialized before her, yet her composure suggested she possessed the confidence to turn the tide within those five minutes.
‘We haven’t yet played the Air Spirit King card.’
Nor had we borrowed the power of the contracted Spirit Kings.
In other words, if we could endure for just five minutes, escape would be possible.
“Superti Fasayen—or perhaps you possess a method to ‘summon’ the time of someone I desire into Diolrose Bellarian’s body.”
It was then that Kaiser addressed me directly.
An unexpected turn.
A conversation?
“Having come this far, you must understand why I’ve orchestrated all this. I needed you solely for the temporal power you possess. All I desire is my wife, and I swear that should you restore her to me, I shall live quietly in the Tower of Paradise henceforth.”
“….”
“Surely you don’t still believe your power amounts to nothing more than temporal reversal.”
I said nothing.
After all, it was Kaiser who needed me.
With Rasifer and Blake blocking his path, unable to act against me directly, he had no choice but to resort to persuasion.
“The true essence of your power is the ability to freely summon and overwrite the substance of time itself. Within the tangled threads of fate, you can sever another’s timeline and reattach it as you wish. In short, it is the power to mock destiny itself.”
“You mean I can manipulate time freely?”
“Precisely. That you’ve only used such power for that much suggests my son has been rather lenient with you.”
I see.
I had suspected as much, but hearing it aloud made it feel devastatingly real.
‘Now I understand why the Fate Spirit King warned me, why the Spirit Kings placed such emphasis on causality.’
The Spirit Kings had been watching over me to prevent such corruption.
They had spent long ages teaching me, bit by bit as I grew, what could and could not be done.
“With your power, becoming a true god would scarcely be difficult. So cast aside restraint and reveal your desires.”
The moment Kaiser’s quiet words ended, my breath caught.
Though nothing touched me, the aura Kaiser radiated pressed down upon me, suffocating.
“Don’t bother with petty tricks. I know everything about the dark magic you wield.”
As Rasifer stepped forward to assess the situation, my breathing gradually steadied once more.
“How dare you cast an enchantment upon my Companion?”
“I was an unfilial son myself, so I have no words to offer—but as a son, I never once sought out my mother.”
“I have no parents. I grew up without them.”
Rasifer extended his arm toward me while delivering those cutting words. I offered Blake, who watched me with concern from beside him, a smile to assure him I was well, then slowly stepped forward.
“Are you curious about my desires?”
They’re truly nothing remarkable.
First, I want to leave this place and return home.
I wish for the people precious to me to smile, and for no one to be hurt.
To live a cherished, ordinary life.
That is what I desire.
I have no need for godhood, immortality, imperial crowns, or golden hands.
[The Fate Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ smiles gently.]
[Noble power bestowed upon an ordinary person—that is destiny. Now go forth, Child. You have already discerned what must be done. The author grows impatient.]
Upon reading the Fate Spirit King’s shimmering words, I nodded.
“You will die alone and desolate, with no one at your side. Never obtaining what you desire.”
Roughly three minutes remained.
Both we and Kaiser Laximon knew this.
“The negotiation has collapsed.”
Kaiser raised his hand without expression.
The fabric covering his wrist rippled softly.
…It was merely that, yet the very aura surrounding him had transformed entirely.
‘It feels as though tens of thousands of needles pierce my skin.’
The slightest lapse in concentration would leave me pierced through.
I could not swallow. I could not blink.
Opening my mouth was utterly impossible.
‘But my thoughts remain free.’
Please aid me, Spirit Kings.
Superti Fasayen, bound by contract with all of you great sovereigns, makes this plea.
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ has been waiting for precisely these words.]
[The Earth Spirit King ‘Noom’ gladly offers assistance.]
[The Air Spirit King ‘Shapasi’ expresses concern that calling upon all at once will cause prolonged unconsciousness.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘Flammeus’ declares that now is the moment to protect our contractor.]
[The Luck Spirit King ‘Hesasperti’ bids you not to worry.]
A soft, five-colored radiance enveloped me, unfurling into a vast barrier of protection.
“Your fatal mistake was underestimating us and treating us with contempt.”
To not understand the strength of unity.
To know only how to exploit others.
And… the arrogance of believing everything will bend to your will.
These are what we possess and you do not—and they will strangle the very breath from you.
Crash!
Blake charged forward first.
Behind him as he swung his sword wreathed in green blade energy, Rasifer conjured an ice spear and hurled it.
The ice transformed into a bat and flew forth, showering ominous crimson light as it descended, but Rasifer immediately transmuted it into flowers.
Flowers crackling with electric current.
“Both of you, don’t worry about me—just fight! I’ll protect myself!”
The ground of what had seemed like Paradise grew tacky, and skeletal soldiers crawled up through it.
They were likely people who had died in this tower.
I too was pulled into the swamp, but the Earth Spirit King immediately solidified the ground beneath my feet.
Rising into the air with the Air Spirit King’s power, I watched the Flame Spirit King incinerate the bones to ash while searching for an exit.
‘When the Tower of Hell was shown to me earlier, there was definitely a door.’
Where was it?
Where could it be?
As I looked about frantically, the world suddenly inverted.
Once, twice, three times, four times!
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!!
Rasifer and Kaiser clashed overhead, and the magical byproducts of their collision fell like meteors.
The moment my vision brightened—
“Danger!”
Blake grabbed me and rolled away to safety.
‘Everything in this space has become distorted…!’
Rasifer stood inverted against a sky turned pitch black.
Meteors continued to fall, the home had vanished without a trace.
Drawing upon the power of five Spirit Kings, I too grew increasingly dizzy.
‘Where is Diolrose?’
When the world flipped, we were separated for a moment.
“Urakan! Urakan?”
I called out to the spirit loudly, and upon seeing Urakan’s back was empty, my face went pale.
“Sister! Where is Diolrose?”
The time reversal should have ended by now…!
“So it really is you.”
Then, a pale and cold hand rested gently atop my head.
“S-Sister?”
“It’s been a while. We’ll exchange greetings later.”
In her other hand, Diolrose held a massive scythe as she gazed down at me.
Pallid yet resplendent as a single rose.
I was so startled that a hiccup escaped me, and at that, my sister smiled faintly.
“The exit lies beyond this False Space. It can only be found by tearing it apart.”
