2 2 Wake Up [Darkness]

I've always liked Irina.

I also aspired to be a wizard with a royal palace because I wanted to be the man she deserved.

Fortunately, I seem to have excelled in my magical talents, as well as the guidance of Valerie, the wise man who became my master again, and improved my mechanics.

Eventually, he became a wizard with a royal palace at the age of seventeen, the youngest in the history of the Kingdom of Shardy.

So, he was nominated as a companion to Yuno, one of the seven brave men who appeared at the same time as the appearance of the Demon King.

It was Irina and Valerie who were nominated together at that time.

Plus on the journey, we met warrior Liot, female swordsman Farah, and knight Margot - and we've been fighting in this member for five years.

Pain and joy have all been shared.

My family... no, to me, who was an orphan, the brave party was the family itself.

"But was I the only one who thought so..."

I wake up slowly.

"For those guys, I was... a tool that could be truncated at any moment."

And sacrificed.

Sacrificed to strengthen the brave and banished the party.

They dumped me.

That sense of reality beat me to the point of intense loss.

Look around in the dark.

In the woods just now.

My body is heavy.

One finger, I can't move.

When I looked closely, there was something like a black chain stuck around my body.

"What, this...?

Chains are apparently a form of magic energy, not matter.

─ ─ The Prohibition 'Chain of Darkness' ─

Master Valerie's words cross the back of his brain.

The severe pain in his whole body had already disappeared.

I just... I feel like something has disappeared from inside me.

"There is no magic......!?"

Stunned and crushed.

Yes, I'm losing all my magic power.

Is it the effect of the curse imposed on the master?

"What the hell, this... eh"

Me confused by a sudden situation and shaking my head.

For me, magic was the crystal of effort I had acquired after more than a decade of training.

It was the power I desperately wore for the most precious woman in the world - Irina.

That's what was so lost.

When I saw him, his arms were as thin as dead trees.

The silver hair tangled in my fingers seems to have fallen out of my scalp.

Until just a few hours ago, she said she had dark hair.

Wow......!

I heard a squeal on the pretend.

"Huh...!

Force your body to wake up powerless.

A large swarm of swordwolves approached.

Fangs like swords, as the name suggests, demons who look at me.

As long as you can use magic, you're the kind of opponent you can defeat with a single shot of an attack spell.

"'Fireball'!

I cast a spell, but it still doesn't work.

"Damn......"

You can't win with your bare hands.

I try to escape, but my body is unusually heavy.

My legs were thin as well as my arms.

Nice to meet you, I can only move late enough to frustrate myself.

I was quickly surrounded.

"Knock..."

Are they going to eat me like this?

Despair creeps up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The next moment, Swordwolves jumped from all sides.

Fangs and nails to kill.

My arm, my leg was torn open and devoured by my shoulders and thighs.

"but... ahhh...!

Heavy pain runs through.

The gushing blood dyed the ground to the vermilion.

"Ha, gu... uhh..."

In addition, swordwolves' fangs are freshly pounded on their wrists and bellies.

The pain gradually paralyzes and the sensations in the body fade.

Consciousness goes far.

"Ugh... uhh..."

Is this the end of me?

Betrayed and used by fellow believers and loved ones, dumped like scraps, and at the end of the day eaten by demons, they end their lives.

Oh, it must have been my whole life.

Where did I go wrong?

If I made a different choice somewhere, or did I capture happiness?

"─ In a place like this."

My body got hot as it burned.

A sudden outpouring of thoughts was burning my body from the inside out.

Will he die?

I don't want to die.

Anger, hatred, and vengeance towards those guys.

And above all - my own thirst for raw.

I still want to live.

I don't like this way of ending.

Absolutely...

"The Operator's Despair and Hate Values have reached policy"

"Ritual progress has reached 70%"

"[Darkness] power activation conditions met"

"Running"

"I rewrote the operator's fate factor"

"The magician has been granted the power of [Darkness]"

"The surgeon has been granted the ability to transfer skills to [subordinates]"

"The surgeon has been awarded EX skills [Fixed Damage]"

Overview 1: The current damage value will be 1

"Overview 2: Range is 10 meters around the operator"

'Activate Skill?

It was clear, a woman's voice.

Is that a dying hallucination?

'Activate Skill?

Same question again.

You're stubborn with your hallucinations.

"... no, wait"

Skills?

─ ─ Whatever, will you bust the Swordwolves around me?

I'll call it in my heart.

Mostly, though it didn't work.

"We have confirmed the will of the operator."

"Running"

"Expand EX Skill [Fixed Damage] now."

"Overview 1: Deals [Fixed Damage] per 3 seconds to all enemies in range."

"Overview 2: This will have a lasting effect"

At the next moment, the black chain that was covering my body started flying.

"Knock... whoa, whoa, whoa...!

[Darkness] spreads around me, along with the feeling that my whole body can burn.

Whoa whoa whoa!?

The bitter and bewildered voices echoed countless times.

The Swordwolves, who were poking their fangs at my body, glanced at me and backed off.

It's time for the other guys to tremble and squeal bitterly.

"This is..."

So much less, most Swordwolves fled like they were scared.

Only a few of the remaining ones still lose their fighting spirit and make fun of me.

Would that have lasted about thirty seconds to a minute?

To the lid, all Swordwolf fell and lay on the spot.

"He's dead...!

Those who did not escape were wiped out.

What happened to me...!?

"You've been safely awakened, my host"

My voice just sounded again.

"Are you...?

"It's the darkness that dwelt in you."

My voice said.

Apparently, it's coming from inside me.

Darkness.

"The rituals gave birth to [light] and [darkness], of which [light] was inherited by the brave men, and [darkness] by you, respectively."

The darkness said.

'I just woke up now. Raise all negative feelings of anger, hatred, or despair in thee. It will nurture [darkness] and give you greater power'

"Grow [the darkness]...?

I didn't really understand what my voice was saying.

I just know what the word darkness says.

Anger, hatred, and despair.

Then I tasted plenty.

By the lovers and the people who betrayed me.

I felt a dark flame lingering inside my heart.

Never goes away, there's a negative flame.

'It's at that rate. You seem to have a good quality [darkness]'

[Darkness] in me and they told me at some happy pace.

'Looks like I've got more power now. EX Skill [Fixed Damage] damage increased from 1 to 2'

I mean, the more negative emotions in me, the stronger my ability to [fix damage]...?

"Well, I..."

I bit my lips off.

I will feed my hatred for them and grow this power.
