I thought I was already dead, already hopeless, already...
Incompetent self...
Barsad Burak!
It wasn't until his life appeared in his mind that he suddenly realized that he... still had consciousness.
"who is it?!"
He opened his eyes and saw the infinite and far-reaching sky.
This place is neither clear nor dark, it is a chaotic place with no light and no darkness.
He asked the person calling his name
"Stop pretending to be a fool, come out here!"
Then, an illusory figure appeared in the space in front of her. Her whole body was shrouded in a black robe, with only a few strands of purple hair hanging on her shoulders exposed.
Even if you are facing her head-on, it is difficult to see her true face clearly. Her voice seems to ring directly from the bottom of people's hearts, full of bewilderment and depravity.
"First meeting, Barsad Brak."
She took a step forward, but this step seemed to cross an infinite distance and came directly to Buzby. She looked down at Buzby lying on the ground and said softly
"Do you... long for power?"
"Are you some kind of deceptive demon?" Buzby sneered and said, "If you are here to take away my soul, then I advise you to go back to hell to plan the next one."
"Because, my soul..."
His voice suddenly fell silent, as if he was thinking about something, and then the despair in his eyes became more and more intense, until...
He suddenly said passionately, "My soul has long been sold to the biggest devil! The devil named after God!"
Every member of the Knights of the Star Cross completes the ritual by drinking the blood of his friend Habach when he awakens his holy text.
Those who drink the blood of Yhwach have fragments of his soul integrated into their souls and sign a soul agreement.
His life...at that moment no longer belonged to him!
Especially at this time, when he was on the verge of death, he felt the destination of countless souls.
His soul, his strength, his memories and emotions will all become part of Yhwach.
And he himself... will face real death, a death that will not even allow reincarnation.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Buzby knew in his heart that after he drank the blood of Yhwach, it was no longer possible to kill Yhwach.
"So you gave up?"
The woman began to move, walking slowly around Buzby's body, while she continued
"Because the enemy is too powerful, can we give up? Because the goal is almost impossible to accomplish, can we ignore the hatred of the tribe? Barsad Brak, you..."
"Is the only option left to me to kneel down with a runny nose and beg for forgiveness?"
"Listen."
The chaotic world turned red, the color of burning flames, and made a hissing sound like burning oil.
The screams of pain, the rumble of building collapse, and blood relatives gradually deforming in the fire, all mixed together are calling a person's name.
Barsad Burak!
That's right, because of the disparity in strength and because the soul was contracted, can you give up with peace of mind for this reason?!
"After hearing the pain of their souls, can you still say no with peace of mind?"
Alice walked around Buzby, came to him again, then stretched out her hand and whispered softly
"Now, look at him."
So the world burned by the flames changed again. Here is the sea of the sky, here is the dark corridor, and in this darkness, Hasward is engaged in a fierce battle with the Destroyer of the Sky.
"Yuku, who was once regarded as your younger brother, has gained power far beyond yours. Are you unwilling to accept it? Or..."
"Jealous?"
Buzby's pupils shrank instantly, the woman in front of him was definitely a devil!
Every word she spoke went straight into the depths of his soul, showing his cowardice, exposing his ugliness, and trampling his self-esteem under his feet!
"Are you...what kind of devil?!"
At this time he calmed down, and then he burst out laughing again
"That's right! I'm... afraid, jealous. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen into this whirlpool, right?!"
He looked at Alice's blurred face and saw a pair of magnificent eyes like purple gems, which seemed to contain the infinite starry sky.
"Take my soul! As long as...as long as I can kill that bastard, I can do anything!"
Alice's words aroused Buzby's pain that had been buried in the dust, and the revenge that he had almost given up. Now his heart is burning, and as long as he thinks of the fire that covered the family castle, he will have unlimited power!
"Satan has given you power. From now on, your power is second only to God."
Alice placed her hand over Buzby, and a black scroll appeared, which seemed to contain extremely dark power.
Then it was integrated into Buzby's body. It was the breath of the abyss, and it was the power of the devil.
Buzby only felt endless power pouring into his body, purifying his soul and transforming his body. Brutal consciousness and thoughts impacted his soul, trying to make him fall into the devil's realm.
He covered his face with his hands and screamed in pain. The flames on his body burst out unconsciously, and then became dim.
The explosive fire that was originally like the sun has now been corrupted by the abyss and turned into pitch black. The pitch black fire clings to his body, making Buzby look like a demon who walked out of hell.
"Ha? Is this the feeling of being full of power? Even when I awakened the holy text, I have never felt so comfortable!"
Buzby stood up and laughed wildly. He felt that his strength had increased several times compared to before!
"But even so..."
After he calmed down, Buzby put away the flames on his body, looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him and gave him strength and said:
"My strength is not enough to kill Yhwach!"
"There will be a day." Alice's figure shrouded in black robe gradually became blurry, and she whispered the devil.
"Hide your demonic power and lurk next to Yhwach. In the destined future, you will strike the most fatal blow against Yhwach."
Then, her figure completely disappeared, as if she had never appeared.
"You don't need to tell me that I will do the same."
Buzby's eyes were already filled with black, and his body was full of demonic patterns, but at this moment all the demonic features disappeared under his control.
Then he spread his hands, and what appeared in his hands was...
