The Villain Wants to Live

Chapter 129: Mist. (3)

Sylvia’s island, Anonymous Island, had achieved magical value.

The island itself was made as a catalyst for Sylvia by collecting the mana soil that drifted in the orbit of the Floating Island.

Thus, Sylvia’s magic while on the Island could reach anywhere on the continent.

Whether it was the Empire’s catacombs, somewhere on the continent, or some distant, unknown Ghost Island…─…I have no right to kill that child.

Sylvia listened to Deculein, feeling his tone.

─ But the kid has it.She asked, knowing he couldn’t hear. He said as if answering.

—The right to kill me. It felt like being stabbed in the heart with a needle, a small pain that arrived when her emotions died.

”What do you think, Idnik?”

A dull question was spoken in monotone and in a voice that was so dry it was about to crumble. Idnik, standing beside her, answered.”

I think that guy still has a conscience.

”Sylvia looked up into the sky, watching a flock of migratory birds that came to the island. The familiar was leading them.”

Right to kill.

”She had the right to kill him.He admitted that.Sylvia closed her eyes and pondered the hatred in her heart. The more she knew, the angrier she grew. However, another emotion burned and stuck to the bottom of her heart, not easily removed.”

Idnik. Do Carla and Deculein know each other?

”Idnik smiled a little.”

There are some people in this magic world who everyone knows just from hearing their names. For example, Carla, Rohakan, Adrienne, Rodran, Glitheon, Betan, Resol, Kamdall, Gindalf, Rose Rio…

”Idnik placed a hand on Sylvia’s forehead, who narrowed her eyes.”

…Take your hand off.

All of them, big or small, are related to Deculein. Among them, Carla and Rohakan, in particular, have a history of teaching Deculein.

”She didn’t know if this was the right expression, but Deculein was popular. Of course, that wasn’t necessarily a good thing.”

If you include the previous head of the family, Decalane, almost all of them are above the rank of Monarch. Thanks to some sponsorships and other dealings, many of the addicts on the Floating Island have a connection with Yukline.

”“It’s a very strange family. They know how to gain attention…”

Nodding, Sylvia closed her eyes again. Concentrating on her magic, she once again looked into the distant island of the continent.

* * *

Carla and Deculein were teachers and disciples. Carla was the first wizard who came to teach Deculein at the request of Decalane, followed by Rohakan. Of course, neither of the two achieved their intended purpose.

Carla, the same age as Deculein, quit after about two weeks because his talent was too limited.Though she felt a little sorry, she thought it was ultimately his fault.

And actually, it was.Carla looked at Deculein as he kept a hand on Epherene’s forehead to Understand her dream.No, he stopped, clicking his tongue. Carla tilted her head.

It takes too long this way. Instead.

”He closed his eyes for a moment, conveying another order to the wood steel roaming the castle.”

I am thinking of a more primitive way.

”Carla looked at Deculein, her gaze practically piercing into his skull. What happened to Deculein in the meantime to turn him into the Altar’s most coveted mind?”

Deculein. What has happened to you?

”Deculein remained focused.”

I think you are interesting. I’m curious.”“

What do you mean?”“

I am curious about your growth, and I wonder why you’ve accepted Sierra’s death as your fault.”

“Is it because you pity Sylvia?”

Deculein’s brow twitched, causing Carla to shift her gaze. She could see the magic watching this space once again.”

The Deculein I knew was already out of line a lot of the time.

”Deculein listened silently. Carla was trying to convey some important information about his history.”

Did I used to pity you, who lacked talent and couldn’t even admit that fact?

”The Deculein that Carla knew then was a timid little dog that grew angry and barked every day for fear that someone would attack or look down on him.”

But now there is a fire in your soul. I can see that.

”Deculein leaned into his chair.

A fire? That had a slightly different meaning to him.

Was it the spark of Deculein in Kim Woojin’s soul, or the spark of Kim Woojin in Deculein’s soul?

However, it was also true that he was a little angry. Who dares to say they pitied him?”

I pity you too.

”Deculein knew the setting of the Named Carla, and there were good reasons for one to pity her storyline.”

There is no other hapless life quite like yours.

”Carla met his stare.”

Why did I accept Sierra’s death?

It’s simple. Because I killed her.”Sierra died at Deculein’s hands. Deculein had that memory, and Carla knew it too. When dealing with demons in the past, Carla was always by Yukline’s side. It was also because of that demon that Sierra died, that catastrophe known as the Lucky Letter.”

Whatever resentment there was, for whatever reason, there is no justification for the fact that I killed her.

”Deculein paused a moment, his eyes burning.”

It’s too late to regret now, and nothing would change.”“

So I will live like this.”“

…Even though Sylvia might kill you someday?”“

I am willing to accept it.

”The wind blew again. Carla let out a low sigh.She withdrew her resolve to put Deculein in her Authority, giving up on her intention to open up his head and offer him to the Altar.But, Deculein might not know yet. That Decalane wasn’t dead yet, that the old man’s brain was still alive and living at the bottom of the Altar. And that monster wanted his body.”

…I think you should be careful.”Carla said so with a shake of her head.

…Epherene pondered how to deal with this situation, but she couldn’t find a way.‘We’re in a dream! That man is a ghost!’Should she start shouting right away or wait a little longer? She was restlessly glancing at Jackal.”

Oh, this is good!

”That guy only looked strong and didn’t know anything, but he ate well.At that moment, Lia grabbed the hem of Epherene’s robe.And then handed her a ssam. Epherene hesitated before taking a bite.”

Chew it thoroughly. Don’t choke again.

”She watched Hesrock while eating, but this time it was a normal ssam. He was learning.”

So! Now that we’ve eaten, shall we proceed?”Meanwhile, their meal concluded. Epherene jumped up as Ganesha spoke. She intended to stop them from entering that castle.But Ganesha interrupted Epherene. Then, leaning in, she whispered in her ear.

—I saw it too. Lia knows everything. The second hand of that watch is ticking backward.

—So don’t show it. Lia gave me a hint.Indeed, as expected of Ganesha! Epherene nodded in surprise as Ganesha smirked and continued.

—We are reluctant to enter, but there is nothing we can do about it. It seems that the friend I need to save is in there.‘She has a friend to save, that’s why~.’As Epherene thought, a certain person came to mind. He flashed in her mind like a bolt of white-hot lightning.

Her head throbbed as if she had been stabbed in the temples.She looked around. Moving her eyes, she searched for them thoroughly, but he wasn’t there, and the door leading to the castle opened.”

6 days at 6:06:06. We will enter.

”Hesrock spoke up, and Epherene realized something else that was strange. It was 6:06:06 just before, and it was still 6:06:06 now. Time wasn’t passing at all.”

Let’s just go in, alright?!

”However, Jackal acted as if he didn’t feel anything strange, while Ganesha and Lia were just pretending to be fooled, and Allen followed with a smile.”

Carla! Are you there?!

”Before long, Jackal’s cried out for Carla, his echoing loudly through the corridor.”

Carlos! Are you here?!”Ganesha and Lia also shouted. Was Deculein also in there?Epherene followed them for now.

* * *

The second floor of Ghost Castle.”

Do you have any plans? Now I want to wake up my little brother too.”“

I have a plan.

”I had started to prepare while talking with Carla and am only now finished.”

What are you going to do?”“

Sometimes, there are moments when you need to rely on the most primal forms of violence rather than understanding.

”I looked around this castle, this space that had become life in itself. This bizarre and mysterious monster.”

What do you mean?”“

I will destroy this whole castle.

”Carla let out a slightly startled breath and a question mark floating above her.”

Deculein, isn’t your mana lacking?”“

Help me then.

”Carla moved her lips wordlessly for a moment, seemingly disconcerted with the sudden request for cooperation.”

I engraved the whole castle with Psychokinesis’s formula. You will make up for the lack of mana when I activate it.

”I didn’t know in detail how large Carla’s mana reserves were, but it must be at least tens of thousands to at most hundreds of thousands large. If I were supported by that amount of mana and maximized my Psychokinesis, I would be able to cause a small earthquake across the continent.”

I will crush the soul that has encroached upon this castle and this island.

”The plan was simple. We would pour that immense magical energy into this castle.Carla watched me with a mysterious smile.”

This castle seems to be a space made up of thousands of souls. Are you going to kill them all?

”My lips twisted.”

To live with such a soul, it is better to die a hundred times over.”“

What if they don’t want to die?

”It was a very human concern, but I shook my head without hesitation.”

Even so, they are already dead.

”Whatever the circumstances of this castle were, and no matter what happened to the souls trapped in the castle, Deculein and Yukline didn’t care. My ego was not bound by human values ​​such as ‘the soul is also human.’”

It’ll be a massacre. Many wizards might criticize you. I think they’ll acknowledge the existence of their souls.”“

It’s not my problem.

”Why would the soul be a person? They were already dead and gone. Rather, they were assholes still toying with the living.”

There is no compromise with a Yukline.

”Regardless of the means, they were not bound by anything other than their purpose. They didn’t cling to emotional values ​​or happy processes.”

Now we need the decisions of the wicked rather than the appeals of the good.”And I didn’t hesitate to make that decision. I was a villain born with ‘The Villain’s Fate,’ so I lived like one.”

Maybe you’ll receive a grudge from the demons.”I just smiled at Carla.”

That’s what I’m hoping for.

”I would probably kill a lot of ‘real people’ in the future. I didn’t care if they became ghosts and resented me. I didn’t mind doing everything.”

They’ll stick to your shoulders and shorten your life.”“

Do you think I can’t kill a ghost?

”If they wanted, they could stick as much as they pleased. I was willing to kill them again.”

I can just kill, kill, and kill until they don’t get in my way anymore.

”Carla nodded, letting her mana flow under her feet.”

Anyway, it looks like this castle picked the wrong opponent. They shouldn’t have messed with a crazy person like you.

”Following the magic circle formed by the wood steel, the mana of her Authority erupted out, easily exceeding the speed of sound. Carla closed her eyes for a moment, then reopened them. Her mana had already penetrated the entirety of the castle.”

It seems I’m done.

Can you do it?

It would be embarrassing if, after everything, you said you can’t.

I connected my body with the magic circle imbued with Carla’s mana. Her unstoppable mana raged like it would burst the circuit, but I endured it with Iron Man.A small sound, like a pebble falling on the ground. A wave of mana signaled the development of the formula. Immediately after that, an amount rushed in that the name of 「Intermediate Psychokinesis」 didn’t suit at all…An earthquake shook the castle.
