Chapter 110: The Warrior Who Carries the Load
"The truth? What is it? Geddes had been listening to Fodamès recount his experiences, whether they were painful ordeals or strange experiences, and he listened patiently, but he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"That's the secret of the Hidden Wing, and it's the secret of the Empire, and now is not the time to say it." Fodames only shook his head slightly in the face of the teacher's inquiry, and he decided in his heart that this secret was not suitable for his teacher to tell now.
"Is that so...... And then? Do you agree to become a Lightbearer? Geddes just sighed and didn't go any further.
"yes...... Because of that memory, I completely believed the words of the archbishop. What's more, Darslet is so supreme that I really have no reason to refuse. Fodamès smiled self-deprecatingly and added: "And more importantly, the Bishop also told me that the Matriarch Raphael entrusted me to him because the Hidden Wing holds all kinds of fate, and maybe there will be a certain fateful star that can change my cursed fate, and later the Bishop did divinate that there is indeed such a fate." ”
"Is that the girl?" Geddes's gaze not only glanced at the entrance of the tree hole, but also the song of the Requiem sung by Crowen outside the tree hole continued to flutter.
"Yes, I later served in the cathedral, because I was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the people around me because my body would not get old, so I disguised myself as an old man and worked as a cleaner for a few years, and then returned to my true appearance and became a teacher for a few years. With a happy look on his face, he slowly told everything about himself and Crowen, including his expectations for Crowen.
Geddes was somewhat relieved to hear that his beloved disciple had finally found the path of salvation and had the love of his own, but his doubts were still unanswered, and he continued to ask: "You just said that the Archbishop of Hidden Wing said that the Light Substitute is the most precious thing of Hidden Wing, and it represents Darthlet...... You're the samurai you turned into, right? What exactly? ”
"The Light-Bearer? It's a blessing and a burden. Fodames stretched out his arm and revealed the stone ring for Geddes to look at clearly, and then fiddled and said: "In addition to the most precious treasure of Hidden Wing, the Light Substitute is also the only warrior of Hidden Wing, inheriting the power of Dashlet, and expelling evil existence with the supreme power of holy light. I poured my own power into this Darslet ring, in which the Holy Kai and the long sword named 'Punishment' will be mapped and materialized into the initial state, and then change into different forms according to each person's inner attributes and the will of the heart, the blood-red appearance in my domain seen by the teacher is the state formed by influencing the Holy Kai and the Holy Sword after I raised my strength to the limit, and when I successfully transformed for the first time, the Holy Stone was reflected in my mind with the word tenacity. I also named my look after these two...... The power of the Light Substitute is enough to make the most ordinary commoner a being able to resist the king, and I am using this power to fight against all the evil beings of the Cursed Beast that threaten humanity, which is what you define as the Illusory Light...... Later, I also learned that the Light Bearer is not unique to me, but has been passed down from generation to generation. There have been many, many Light Generations before me, who have been working in the shadows to protect the Empire and our people...... Of course, I am also the most special of the generations of light, because I am not a pure-blooded human being, mixed with Wilwall's blood, Ken Bad's power. This is one of the main reasons why the teacher and Nightwing misunderstood me, right? ”
So that's the case? Geddes finally understood why the power response of the illusory light was close to that of magic, and sometimes it showed the power of light. For he himself was contaminated by the cursed beast and manifested with the help of the power of light. Such a strange thing is unheard of by itself. In addition, listening to these contents, it seems that the Light Substitute is the one who inherits the supreme power of Darthlet, and what is the so-called burden?
"Ahem......" Just as Geddes was secretly lamenting his doubts, Fodames couldn't stop coughing heavily, and it was difficult to control himself for a while.
"What's wrong? Was it too badly injured by Viskelting? Geddes' eyes were full of worry, ready to stand up and reassure Fodames.
Fudames covered his mouth with one hand and raised it with the other to stop the gasp and said: "It doesn't have much to do with her, my injury has actually been almost healed, even if I don't heal her kick, it doesn't matter much, the main thing is that the attack of the Blood Beast Emperor is too powerful and the burden given by the Light Substitute is too heavy." ”
After saying this, Fodames paused for a moment, smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, and continued to explain: "The Light Substitute is only the one who replaces the Sage Dashlet in charge of the light, and it is not the true inheritance of the Light, and using that power will inevitably bear an unspeakable price. This kind of price is a huge burden for even the previous generation of light generations, and my body is so special that it is more unbearable for me to burn life, enough to make me hesitate every time I transform. But I couldn't take half a step back...... I've become a monster and I've killed too many people and I've killed too many people, and if I want to be saved, I have to save more people to pay for these sins...... No matter what, I will persevere to the end of this path, regardless of whether the result is ultimate salvation or real destruction. In the end, Fodames said, and he didn't know whether he was saying it to Geddes or to himself. (End of Chapter 110)
