Infinite Mage - Chapter 587
[587] Darkness (2)
Eden felt fear for the first time in the shock wave of enormous mass pouring towards a single point.
‘Are you afraid? I?’
It was an unacceptable feeling for her, who was invincible under the care of God.
‘That can’t be!’
Eden resisted with all his might.
Even the planet is wide for humans, so they desperately raised their faith in front of a heinous phenomenon that they would never experience even if they lived their whole lives.
“Huh!”
Tears flow because I can’t overcome my fear.
If there is a god beyond the human realm, Sirone’s quasar is also a god.
‘No no!’
God must stay far above that.
‘It was only this much?’
Was the faith that was believed to encompass the universe only the stubbornness of a minor creature that did not experience the limit in the end?
“it is not so! My faith is my faith…!”
As the number of flashes reached along the 4-dimensional route increased, the quasar’s energy soared exponentially.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Suddenly, a scream erupted from Eden’s mouth.
The absolute barrier was still protecting her, but she couldn’t help but feel shaken.
‘Stop giving up, Eden!’
If she can’t tolerate Gaold’s pain… her gods can’t escape humans either.
‘It’s not absolute! That’s not God, Eden!’
It collapses.
I felt a crack in the Absolute Barrier.
‘I can’t do this!’
It also meant that the faith of Eden was collapsing.
“God…!”
Tears poured out and Eden uttered a prayer.
“I believe in you!”
Trapped in the light and unable to move anywhere, as she knelt down holding hands, the durability of the shield soared to an all-time high.
‘amazing. It’s amazing.’
How strong can the human heart be?
“Stay! Forever watch over me!”
Eden cannot be destroyed.
Because God exists and I believe in it.
At the limit of faith that a human being can reach, Quasar was knocking on a solid wall without rest.
‘Why are you angry? Why are you angry?’
Suddenly, I heard a crack in my head.
‘What have I done wrong! What’s wrong!’
Damn it! The shock came as the shield began to break.
“Huh!”
The reality itself, which can only be felt because it is human, was rushing in.
‘Oh God! Why are you punishing me!’
The light of a quasar with a diameter of more than 100 meters swelled like an explosion in an instant.

“The ability of a Servant is not recognized. But we won.”
Hersey raised an eyebrow.
“You would think that if you didn’t get a kang, you wouldn’t waste any cards, but you would lose money.”
It was like throwing the collected cards in the trash.
“It doesn’t mean anything. Thanks to that, we got a draw.”
“That is your mistake.”
Hersey pointed at Iruki.
“You have to bet on it somehow. That you shouldn’t have used up the scramble on me. Because we have an Eden.”
If Eden could not be retired, a draw was meaningless from the start.
“Passing the ball to a teammate? You are emotional, Iruki.”
“So what do you want to say?”
“first.”
Hersy raised her index finger.
“I couldn’t properly see through the opponent’s capabilities. This is your mistake.”
“Iruki over there!”
Dorothy pointed to the sky with a surprised expression.
Iruki, who confirmed the place, and Hercy, who belatedly turned their heads, widened their eyes.
“That… what the hell is that?”
Is this what it feels like to see the sun in front of you?
Thousands of light sources flashed and quickly grew in size and filled the night sky.
It was the birth of a quasar viewed from a distance.
* * *
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Hearing Eden’s throat-rending screams, Sirone could only watch.
‘It’s a big deal! I can not stop!’
The reason why flashes fly from all directions is because space-time has completely crumpled around the coordinates.
The amplifying power itself would not be much different from the two-dimensional ataraxia, but the power of concentrating the energy that should be released in a straight line into one point was different from conventional magic.
‘I will die at this rate.’
As soon as he was convinced, Eden’s defenses began to tear apart terribly.
“Huh!”
Eden’s eyes widened and his body opened like a bow.
Like a newborn baby, the shock of reality came through the skin vividly.
‘Amgu!’
Sirone rammed the ataraxia-amplified cancer sphere into the quasar.
There was nothing I could do other than this.
As the light energy was sucked into the darkness, the quasar’s brilliance quickly dimmed to the point of being visible.
‘please please!’
Even so, Eden’s life and death were unpredictable.
Finally, the quasar disappeared and Sirone confirmed Eden falling from the sky.
I cast teleportation and managed to catch her, then checked to see if she was still alive.
“Whew.”
It was feeble, but my heart was thumping up and down.
“Put it down.”
Eden’s voice was faintly audible.
Maintaining consciousness is a great mental strength, but the body was in a state where it was impossible to lift a finger.
“It is dangerous as it is. Let’s get some treatment.”
“Put it down.”
I tried to speak with as much emotion as I could, but even that didn’t feel the power.
Sirone, who laid Eden on the grass, slowly backed away.
“Why…”
A tear fell from her eyes.
It wasn’t just that I lost the game, but because my lifelong trust was broken, I couldn’t speak out.
“Why did I lose?”
“Eden…”
interrupted Sirone, and she burst into anger.
“I can’t do this! Why am I worse than Gaold! I have never violated the will of God Yor! Gaold has abandoned God!”
“okay.”
Sirone said.
“But I guess God didn’t abandon Gaold.”
Eden’s eyes widened in shock.
“Eden, I don’t know if there is a God or not. But the moment you try to prove God through Gaold, even the God you believe in cannot be God.”
Sirone stepped in front of her.
“Faith is not like that. Your faith is only to become a great yorah and spread love.”
‘My God…’
Eden’s eyes burned as if they were on fire.
I finally realized
Why was God so angry with him?
‘Forgive me for doubting you…’
After praying for repentance, she slowly opened her eyes.
“Take me.”
“huh?”
“It’s MasterCard. not here Shouldn’t it be destroyed?”
“Oh right. where are you?”
“You cannot go alone. I’ll give you the location.”
“That’s a bit…” It
wasn’t until the battle was over that the fact that she wasn’t wearing clothes felt real.
“Can’t we just put on some clothes and start?”
“Are you kidding me now? The clothes are there, how do you wear them? I can’t even move my fingers.”
“Then I’d rather take my clothes…”
Eden stopped when Sirone tried to take off her top.
“Let’s just go. Because that’s even weirder.”
Realizing it only after taking action, Sirone hurriedly lowered her jacket and held up Eden.
“where are you?”
When Sirone asked without eye contact, she smiled helplessly and opened her mouth.
“West. Near the 19 training ground.”

“Whoa! Whoa!”
Amy took a weary step.
Cayden, with broken ribs, was being dragged along by her hind legs.
If the acid is allowed to burn, it may suffocate and die.
Amy left the fire and tossed Cayden to the floor in annoyance.
“cadet! The more I think about it, the more I get mad! You are a truly unlucky human being.”
It was an honest feeling, but it was also a tribute to the enemy.
“I’ve heard a lot about that. But listening to Karmis is a refusal.”
Amy, who was stunned, sat down in her seat.
“So what are you going to do? You and I are not in a position to envy others.”
“Why didn’t you kill me?”
“what?”
“Why did you bring me here? don’t you want to kill do you hate me?”
Amy pursed her lips.
“Well, why did you save him?”
There was only one answer she could give.
“Because it could be me.”
Caden turned his head.
“I entered the magic school and fought fiercely. I came this far defeating countless competitors. Maybe you did too.”
“…”
“Even if you hate it to death, once you win, you won’t feel the joy of victory. The relief of surviving is everything.”
Amy looked down at her feet.
“It’s scary because everyone is doing their best. Today I stepped on you and climbed up, but maybe I was the one who collapsed right here.”
Amy, hiding her sad expression, grinned.
“Perhaps that is why. No matter how much you hate people who risk their lives to do something, you can’t hate them.”
Cayden looked up at the stars in the night sky.
“I don’t understand the mindset of wizards.”
“…I wanted to ask you before, why did you come to magic school?”
“not really. At first I just came. No worries. You will do well here anyway.”
“Would you like another shot?”
“I was thinking of staying for a while until I met Maya. But now it’s a little different. Should I be comfortable?”
Cayden looked back at Amy.
“Because wizards do not sympathize. As you.”
As Amy fell silent, his gaze returned to the sky.
“See it as it is. It was different from the swordsmanship school to say that the red cross of sacrifice or whatever was unlucky was unlucky.”
“It may sound presumptuous, but do you have any intention of rejecting fate?”
“Really presumptuous.”
“know! I’m just asking! Because of the loser subject, only his mouth is alive!”
Caden confessed his feelings.
“There is no way to deny the fate of the Red Cross. But you can live by ignoring it. I also want to learn swordsmanship again.”
“Aha, are you going to smash me?”
“There are things like that.”
If Cayden resumes swordsmanship, he will be the best in no time.
The reason is that he doesn’t want to be the best in swordsmanship.
“Maya should forget too. I can’t achieve anything I want That’s my life.”
“Can you turn away?”
“Maybe it’s not a bad life if you become the best at anything.”
Cayden, who came up with an interesting idea, raised the corner of his mouth.
“In that respect, it would be perfect if I made you a knight oath. Because I can protect the woman I don’t like and unleash the swordsmanship I don’t like.”
“haha! Hey, just imagining it is truly horrifying!”
Caden also couldn’t hold back his laughter even in the midst of pain, probably thinking that it was ridiculous.
‘It’s a knight oath.’
Lian appeared in Amy’s mind.
Compared to Cayden, it can be said that he is a perfect opposite swordsman, but when I recall the spirit he showed, I was envious of Sirone on the other hand.
“I know your dream is to become a painter, but I want you to become a prosecutor.”
“You’re sending a competitor like this.”
“You are laughing! You are no match for me!”
After screaming, Amy’s face became calm again.
“I don’t know… but they say a big war could break out in the future.”
According to what I heard from Sirone, it was so.
“War is always there.”
“Suddenly, I had a thought. If destiny really exists, there must be a reason why you were born in the Red Cross.”
The best talent is what you get at the cost of not achieving what you desperately want.
“It’s a sacrifice.”
Suddenly, Maya’s face came to mind.
“If a war breaks out and I can help, I will be able to protect her in the end.”
I thought that maybe that was the closest distance I could be by her side.
“…Still, I won’t take an oath to be a knight.”
“Ho Ho! Who said he would accept it? Just put a knife in front of me I’ll kick your ass in front of people!”
“Anyway. Because that won’t happen.”
They were two people who spoke loudly.
