Chapter 61: The Fearless
Roland quietly watched as Oleta launched a lifeless charge, revealing an incomparably gentle smile.
His soul withdrew from Oletta, and the power of his mind poured from his forehead and returned to Roland's own body along his fingertips.
He believed that Oleta would eventually be able to take out the dormant Twilight Seed and become a hero.
If anything, Roland believes that Oletta is fearless at this moment.
The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the unknown.
It is precisely because people are afraid of 'not knowing' that they dream of 'knowing', and it is precisely because they are afraid of 'forgetting' that they learn to 'record'. History itself is the basis for the constancy of a race, the backbone of a nation. To forget history is to abandon all those who have given their lives for the continuation of the race and nation, from ancient times to the present day.
In other words, it is equivalent to fighting the great fear of the entire vast universe with one's own strength. He doesn't have any precedent for success behind him, and he has no experience to learn from in whatever he does.
Whoever is devoured by Isdemon, everyone will forget him. In the same way, it has eaten the language of Faense, so that the languages of various countries have become different for no reason; He ate the history of Faenns, and the correct record of this history of the whole of Faenns will be completely lost. The impression of this history in different countries will change in an instant, the history of each country will be different, and everyone will think that they are the only one who is right and is not lying.
Monsters that exist only in the crevices of the unknown - this is the essence of the sleeping unknown twilight species. When people are completely afraid of unknown fears that exist only in their imaginations, and take them for granted as something that exists, that unspeakable fear really comes.
Each dusk species symbolizes some kind of end-of-life doctrine, and this phenomenon is the root of this nameless dusk species.
Not all of the dusk species have some kind of entity like Higgs, and twilight can also be a phenomenon. For example, a future that inhabits the rewriting of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws.
Originally, it was supposed to be a copy of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, which was supposed to be written for 800 years in the Gods, but at the end of its prophecy was written the end of the day in a thousand years. This extra part is the projection of this sleeping twilight planted in reality, and its essence is hidden somewhere in the soul of all who have read this book.
Because it doesn't turn on its own spiritual pollution, the soul of the sojourner will not change color, and even if the thinking will tend to be extreme, it will not seem too weird.
When Roland saw that never-before-seen grey hurricane, his first reaction was that it had something to do with dusk.
This line of thinking must be correct - the source of Faennes's error is dusk, and it can be said that everything is dusk's fault. If there is something unusual, the root cause must be some twilight at work.
So Roland's first instinct was to look for someone whose behavior suddenly became abnormal.
His first target was Oleta. At the time, Roland was not convinced, but when he was close enough to Oletta, the [Twilight Contact] characteristic driven by his perception immediately convinced him that the person who was polluted by Nameless Twilight was Oletta.
The so-called bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and if you want to defeat the body of the dusk species, there is nothing straightforward to defeat your own deep fear.
However, as long as you are human, you will inevitably be unable to contend with your worst fears in absolute isolation.
Add to this the characteristics of the twilight species - no one who fears it can face it, no one who knows history with him can overcome it. This makes it difficult for Oleta to defeat him.
It is the collection and sublimation of the fears of all enemies - if Oleta were to fight him, all that would be a pure-blooded dragon would appear; If Tyre were to fight him, he would be the embodiment of Aum's Eye; If they were to face it with a single legion, they would probably be presented with a combination of the fears of thousands of people, enough to easily ravage the demon king of the world.
And if it is the enemy of one world, it will be the end of the world.
But just as every terminology theoretically exists to avoid it, every twilight species exists and has only one drawback.
Their strength tends to be infinite twilight species, and their strength depends on their own weakness. The complementarity of any two dusk species can be seen as an invulnerable and inevitable doom, which is why the dusk species are invincible.
Just as Higgs can completely ignore the power of this nameless twilight species and devour it in one go, as long as there is no fear in their hearts and no complete history in their hearts, they can face it and have the possibility of defeating it.
Roland was originally in line with the fact that there is no history...... But it's a pity that even Roland has his own fears.
-- Roland remembered the frontal lobotomy he had done to Joseph Sr.
He is no longer what he used to be. Naturally, the rudimentary type of surgery that changes people's emotions by affecting human body functions can also be abandoned.
It is true that Roland did not cause him any harm after letting Oleta open his heart.
Roland used Orlando's twilight power to mentally pollute Oletta, shattering his thousand-year-old solid sanity, and implanting faith in Roland deep in his mind; Roland then directly burned all of Oleta's soul with "fear" and the parts tainted by dusk, and used his authority to resurrect his body.
In this way, the weapon of the nameless twilight seed has been baked.
He no longer has medicine or surgery to make his body fearless, but from the depths of his soul. And his belief in Roland, even if only temporarily, allowed Roland to provide him with strength.
At that moment, Oleta finally remembered her original dream - to become a knight and fight to protect the lives and smiles of others.
Because knights can't refuse other people's requests, Oletta, who has made it her lifelong dream to become a knight, accepts the request of her benefactor, Merlin, and comes to El Carter and becomes a lich.
Thousands of years have passed, and he has long forgotten his childhood wishes. Although he remembered that he had to wait here, he had long forgotten what he wanted to be in the first place.
It can be seen from the attitude towards Serena that Oleta is an extremely gentle person in her bones. But he is not like Roland who can turn this gentleness into a light that soothes the hearts of others, but swallows and chews it silently, turning it into a sword and a shield.
Yes, he was a consummate researcher – not rich, focused, and conscientious. But at the same time, it is also a virtue that he possesses as a perfect knight.
Those knights who burned with white flames were the deepest wishes of the Lich Oleta's soul that Roland had shaped with his own power. With Roland as a transit point and the people of the world who believe in Roland as the cornerstone, Oleta finally fulfilled her original wish - to protect others, to fulfill others, and to become a savior as a knight.
…… However, there should be two people who have read the book of rewriting all laws.
Although Roland doesn't know who exactly was the first person to read the book...... But as the longest-standing owner of the book, he should be much stronger than Oletta. Even the history and fears he absorbed were enough to feed the twilight seed in his mind as food.
Roland thought for a moment, then suddenly put his hand into the inside of the cloak on the young Oletta, and found a dense black rune from Oleta through perception, about the size of a palm.
That is the artifact called "Copying the Book of Ten Thousand Laws".
Just holding it, Roland felt a world unfolding in his mind, slowly deducing.
"Ridiculous."
Roland smiled, and then his right hand, which was holding the dragon scales, suddenly ignited a pure white flame. The image in his mind trembled slightly, and suddenly shattered.
However, at this moment, Roland suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by something...... The next moment, an extremely intense fear overwhelmed Roland.
In just a few minutes, Roland was keenly aware that the gray hurricane outside was rapidly becoming violent.
"That's ...... so"
Roland curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
In this way, Roland succeeded in provoking it.
Roland didn't know what kind of monster it had grown into, and he didn't know if Oleta was capable of living with an avatar that was much deeper than his own fears...... But Roland can only be sure of one thing.
It's okay for yourself, or it's okay for that nameless...... They have only met once.
Right here, right now—
Isolated from the Holy One, he is undoubtedly the weakest moment he is now; And once Roland completely destroys the copy of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws now, its projection foundation on the reality side will also disappear, it will be impossible to produce new ontologies and believers, and the spiritual pollution of the twilight seed will become a joke.
But if Roland leaves Elcat, then it becomes another question whether the Dusk Species will risk being killed by Roland in his heyday to attack Roland.
Therefore, it must stop Roland right now.
The gray-white storm roared towards Roland as if it had come to life. Roland slowly helped Oleta to the bed, placed them side by side beside Serena, and then walked out of the room, looking directly at the gray-white hurricane.
"Come on...... Let me see who you really are......"
Roland muttered, narrowing his eyes, and a silver-white light gradually rose in his eyes.
He was ready, and if he really couldn't overcome his fears, he was ready to burn a third of his soul directly.
…… Even if it would break his body, it wouldn't matter. Because there is no better opportunity than this time.
When Roland puts himself in the most dangerous situation, the difficult question "how to find the second infected and kill him" is transformed into a known problem, and a simple multiple-choice question that Roland is quite familiar with.
-- Victory or death. (To be continued.) )
