"One of the many puppets!" Thinking of what Ivan had just said, Alan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart and blurted out: "Could it be that these so-called staff members ......?"

"It seems that my intuition is also very sharp. Ivan glanced at Eren again and said, "You're right, they're already puppets, earlier than this guy named Ivan...... Willingly became my puppet. ”

"Willingly!" Alan was taken aback, and there were at least a dozen people in the stands, "so many people...... How did you do that!?"

"Huh...... If light can only be accompanied by light, then nature that feeds darkness can only be darkness. Ivan said calmly.

"Laziness and selfishness, jealousy and arrogance, but there is always such a thing in the heart of all people...... Even saints are no exception. Seeing Allen's puzzled face, Ivan pondered for a moment and said, "And these will become the food of darkness......"

"You ......" Hearing this, Allen's heart suddenly throbbed, and his voice couldn't help but tremble a little, "You have fallen into the darkness too deeply!"

"You don't need to say it...... That's something I've known for a long time. Ivan's face was surprisingly calm.

Alan was stunned.

There was a brief moment of staring at each other, silent.

"It's not just light that empowers, so can darkness. After a moment, Ivan spoke again, his expression a little lonely, but soon returned to normal, "I see too many things in these eyes that I shouldn't see...... If it is necessary to entrust this body to the darkness in order to eliminate it, then I will not hesitate to do so. ”

Ivan's words were not difficult to understand, but it took Alan a long time to understand. And if you feel his tone carefully, there seems to be countless sadness and helplessness contained in it.

"You...... What the hell do you want to do?" Alan couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't I already say that......" Ivan raised his head, stared into Allen's eyes, and said word by word: "Eradicate the darkness, that's all." ”

Hearing this, Alan vaguely understood something, his heart was mixed, and he was speechless for a while, and he even unconsciously relaxed his hand that clenched his wand.

In order to eradicate evil, he did not hesitate to incarnate himself as evil......

Although it is not known what Perestu has experienced in the past, his fundamental desires do not seem to be different from those of good people...... Even, it is still what many people are looking forward to......

It's just that his choice ......

"There's no other way for me to go......" Seeing that Eren was silent, Ivan said again, "this is probably my fate...... Arne Béresto's fate. ”

There was silence again.

"So, can you tell me before that...... Fifteen years ago......" Alan looked at him earnestly.

"Heh, your curiosity is really heavy...... My past?" seemed to guess what Eren was trying to ask, and Ivan interrupted him, "It's none of your business. All I can tell you is that my heart has not changed since that night fifteen years ago. ”

Alan stared at him closely.

"Don't look at me with such a pitiful look. After glancing at Eren again, Ivan turned his body around, "The blinding light, and full of power...... I have to say, I'm really annoying...... I can't look at it directly. ”

Alan didn't understand what he was talking about, but it felt like a fish in his throat, as if there were a lot of indescribable emotions accumulated in his heart.

"You are unexpectedly tenacious, and you have passed my successive tests...... Then I'm going to have a fair fight with you. With that, Ivan walked to the sidelines, "Is the shadow disappearing into the light, or is your heart blackened...... I'm looking forward to it. ”

Ivan's figure slowly disappeared into the shadow of one of the arches, leaving only the almost frozen men in the center of the arena.

He ...... "I don't know how long it took for Riel to speak first," though I don't quite understand what was going on...... Belch...... But he's Arne Béresto, isn't he? He's just talking to us with Ivan's body......."

"Hmm......" Alan nodded slightly, still savoring what Ivan had just said.

"And what exactly is he trying to do?" Riel asked, "Is it for you?" or...... How many of us are there?"

"How sluggish you are. Before Alan could answer, Cynthia opened her mouth.

Riel gave her a disgruntled look, wanting to be angry, but in this atmosphere he felt that it was inappropriate, so he had to hold back.

"It's not him, it's not us. "It's all of humanity...... All the people who live on this continent. ”

Cynthia's words hit Riel in the face like a slap in the face, making him understand a lot in an instant. Of course, it also brought him a great shock.

"You're ...... What are you talking about......" Riel looked at her in disbelief, incoherent, "Just kidding...... What is he going to do...... What is he doing to make enemies of so many people?"

"I don't know. Cynthia gave him a foolish look and didn't explain any more, "That's what he meant, anyway." ”

"He's been gathering strength for so many years......" Allen picked up.

After much thought, Alan finally felt that he had figured it out.

"He said it, he ...... Eradicate darkness. Allen said.

"Hmm. Riel nodded.

"So, what about the source of darkness?" Alan asked, staring at him.

"Uh...... This ......"

"It's the human heart. Seeing Riel's embarrassed expression, Alan didn't wait much and gave the answer directly.

"It's the dark side of the human heart......" Alan couldn't help but be a little excited when he said this, "Then, the answer is obvious......"

"How could he do that!" Riel spurted his lips and exclaimed, "Why should he be so adamant that it was because of this!...... No, I don't accept it...... Although, I also ...... before Uh......"

However, Alan let out a rare sigh and retorted, "No...... In a way, he's right......"

Riel was stunned and looked at Alan.

"MONOCULUS, you know it all...... "Remember what Karin the Elf said?"

"Ah......h

"That's right...... Allen's expression was a little lost, "'Anger, arrogance, jealousy, greed, laziness, selfishness, etc....... There is something like this in everyone's heart to a greater or lesser extent, and when these evil thoughts become popular, the Magic Eye is born. ’”

Even Riel was silent.

Perhaps because the influence of the bewitching bird had not been completely eliminated before, Allen's heart suddenly began to permeate with some sadness, mixed with some wisps of resentment......

"I hate to admit it, but ......," Alan muttered, "what he said...... That's right...... indeed."
