「"─Please take care of it? Since you killed me like that, please be toyed with by fate and die as a clown."」
"You didn't come to have a cup of tea, right. Came to kill me?"
"…."
"By the way…, where did the brats and companions you were carrying around go?"
The question Nirvana threw at Kang Yuhyeon was not to seek an answer.
He also noticed to some extent. What happened to them or something.
However, the reason he asked the question was….
"I see. That's unfortunate. If only you hadn't been brainwashed, you would have made quite a name for yourself in the Star Stream."
To stir up his emotions further.
"Ah. Is that so. Kang Yuhyeon, did you come to kill me for such a trivial reason? Pfft…, didn't know your heart was so warm and soft."
For a Jujutsu Sorcerer, negative emotions become their energy.
However, if they fail to control and manage it, it would only become a fatal poison to them.
Runaway emotions mean runaway Cursed Energy.
And since that would soon become a new story favored by the stars located far away, Nirvana smiled faintly.
"But isn't there no reason to shift the responsibility to me? Because the one who harmed them was none other than yourself. As you know, my skill is not mind control. It merely shatters your reason and reveals the sincerity deep in your heart."
"…."
"Therefore, the fact that your companions died is solely because of you. Because you existed, things you cherished were broken, and because you live, things you love all disappeared! Before, now, and in the future!"
-Pajik, pajijik…!!
As Nirvana began to draw up his power gradually, golden sparks began to spread around.
None other than the Star Stream judged his power dangerous.
"Become one with me. Kang Yuhyeon. Then I can cut off your loneliness and protect the things you cherish. Only I can be your savior!"
There, Nirvana Moebius who invested all skills in speed and mental types no longer existed.
Existing there was the Reincarnator, Nirvana Moebius, who paid a large amount of stories remaining to him to exert the best, maximum, and worst power in the current scenario.
An unfortunate sentient being who lost the importance of life because of repeating countless lives, and couldn't find the meaning of death because of experiencing countless deaths.
"Is that all you want to say."
"…What?"
He who maintained silence from beginning to end opened his mouth for the first time.
In his voice, neither anger, sadness, lamentation, nor even regret could be felt. Nothing at all.
Just.
"You should have said more when I gave you the chance. What you can properly say must be all now."
"…Ha."
Only a chill was felt entirely.
"Right. If that's your choice…, fine. Let me borrow your words."
"…."
"Let's curse each other to our heart's content."
-Kwa-ga-gak—!!
My technique and bundles of white Magic Power collided in the air, making a loud noise.
Because of that, the temple and the surroundings had long become a mess.
But in the center of that fight, instead of getting tired, I and the guy increased speed even more.
"Ahahaha—!! It was a good thing I connected the unreasonable Transmission! Otherwise, my limbs would have already been slaughtered by your technique!"
"…."
"A man like you, I have no choice but to like you every time I see you. How is it. Do you feel like becoming one with me even now?"
"Shut up a bit."
Unlike the guy who was leisurely enough to make jokes, honestly speaking, I didn't have that much leisure.
Not only was I not in perfect condition due to the battle two days ago, but the guy seemed much stronger than before with the skill called [Transmission].
-Crunch, kwa-ji-jik—!!
"Then, the time has come to end this long, long fight."
"…."
Along with the guy's murderous smile, several Mandalas spread wide around.
The number was enough to remind one of Rabbit Escape's division.
In the blink of an eye, I fired 'Dismantle' to destroy the Mandalas surrounding me, but the broken parts were soon filled with other Mandalas again.
"I sometimes think. Kang Yuhyeon. What if that technique you use wasn't an ability that just fires slashes or something, but something quite different."
"…."
"Sometimes the master makes the sword rot, but in your case, the sword is making the master rot."
Outside the prison made of Mandalas, the guy speaks to me.
Along with that, he mocks me saying such slashes can be used by swordsmen of Murim in the distant future, and furthermore by high-ranking Constellations, but I was neither angry nor flustered by such sarcasm of the guy.
Because to some extent, I knew it too.
My technique, [Shrine].
Although it is a technique I favor and has allowed me to survive until now, it didn't mean this technique was a flawless technique without a single drawback.
No, strictly speaking, this technique had more disadvantages than advantages.
Versatility, power, accuracy, etc. There is nothing better than the technique called Ten Shadows Technique obtained newly this time, and the essence of the ability is just cutting after all.
As he said, this might be a technique showing good performance just because it met the right person.
However.
-Wooooong—!!
"…."
-Clang—!!
At least its limit hasn't been revealed by a guy like that yet.
"…What, is this…?"
Nirvana Moebius.
Among the fragments of countless Mandalas surrounding me falling powerlessly, agitation occurred on his face for the first time.
"Why. Did you think I would just take such trivial attacks as they are?"
The prison made of Mandalas just now.
Honestly speaking, such attacks could be destroyed by Mourning Tiger's unique ability, not 'Dismantle', or hiding in my shadow, etc.
However, the only, only reason I didn't do so was because of one thing.
"There is no need, nor value, to show sincerity to a bastard like you."
"…Wh, what."
My pride doesn't allow it.
Even if I lose, even if I lose my life to that guy, I have no intention of using the Ten Shadows Technique on that guy.
-Crunch. Kwa-ji-jik…!!
The guy vaguely resembles someone living somewhere, but the most important thing was different.
The Regressor had a noble cause to see the conclusion of the scenario, but nothing could be felt from that guy.
Although he speaks eloquently about liberating from the scenario, the guy just complains about pain.
Life that must be lived endlessly. Reincarnation repeated forever.
The guy wanted to take comfort in such hell, needed a companion to understand his pain, and wanted to share the emotions of those living 'a life only once'.
"Pathetic beyond measure. Standing at a starting point different from others, and behaving like this despite being given multiple opportunities."
Therefore, the Church of Salvation created by the guy was merely a mental stabilizer for the guy.
If he had rather used them to literally achieve liberation from the scenario, or tried to see the conclusion, the current evaluation would have been completely different.
"Did you say the sword is making the master rot looking at me? Then you are the case where the master is making the sword rot."
"You, bastard…."
"And, since earlier, it seems you are misunderstanding something very firmly. If I dare to explain one of them now."
"…."
"I don't feel any emotion towards you."
Loneliness. Pain. Despair felt by the guy.
Feeling all of that through the guy's hallucinations, thoughts, remarks, and actions, I couldn't feel any anger, annoyance, or even pity towards the guy.
From beginning to end.
"Except thinking you are pathetic."
"…!!"
The guy's face changed hideously, and soon bizarre sparks indescribable compared to just now bounced around.
That is probably the guy's seriousness.
At that sight, I smiled absurdly and continued speaking.
"If that is your seriousness."
"Kang Yuhyeoooon—!!!"
"Your life until now might have been truly meaningless."
-Kwa-a-a-ang—!!
The guy's attacks, which unfolded beautiful techniques with leisure, became crude and reckless at some point.
Speed and power. It was certain that everything rose one step further than just now.
However.
-Zzzzt, zzzzzzt…!!
The guy was clearly weaker than just now.
"…Kuhup!?"
"Repeating countless lives yet the result is so different. How funny."
-Kwa-a-a-ang—!!
Speaking of a Reincarnator's strength, of course, experience and techniques accumulated through multiple battles.
Imagination and skill to use one skill diversely. And composure and brain to quickly apply strategies to the constantly changing battlefield situation.
Of course, it's just my groundless speculation, but comparing with the Regressor Yoo Joonghyuk, this speculation carries quite a bit of credibility.
But…, this guy right now?
-Kwa-ga-gak—!!
Emotional agitation.
That wasn't a weakness only for me, a Jujutsu Sorcerer, but applied to everyone.
Truly…, absurd. Falling right into my plan.
-Kugugugu—!!
[You have experienced multiple consecutive Black Flashes.]
[A new item is added to your Fable.]
[Fable, 'One Beloved by Black Flames' is added.]
[<Star Stream> earnestly reviews your Status!]
"Kuhup, ku-eck. Blergh—!!"
"…."
The guy, staggering from the continuous baptism of Black Flashes and eventually collapsing unable to steady himself, looks at me breathing roughly.
Due to the heavy rain, wet muddy water and dirt lumps were smeared on the guy's hair ends and face everywhere, but without time to wipe them off, he tries to shoot something at me.
-Zip…!!
But the guy was driven to death enough to be scattered helplessly even by my briefly fired 'Dismantle'.
"Reincarnator, Nirvana Moebius. Despite living countless lives, you are defeated ugly by someone who lived only once."
"…."
"I guarantee one thing. With that mindset, even if you live the same number of lives as this time, or double that, the day you become one with me or Yoo Joonghyuk, furthermore the day you wish for, will never come in your lifetime."
"Haa, haaaa…. What does, someone like you…, know…!!"
Unlike the noble appearance encountered at first, the guy's appearance fell ugly.
Looking at such a guy's appearance, I smiled sneeringly and.
"I said just now. That you are misunderstanding a few things."
-Squeeeeze—!!
Grabbing the guy's head, I started speaking slowly.
