‘Then what is it?’
It was like a much more powerful being than a demon.
Darkness… It’s the deepest and most dangerous darkness!
Celine described him as the deepest and most dangerous darkness.
Then, this man…….
‘Ancient Darkness?’
Even though I thought it was ridiculous, I looked at the man and recited it like that.
Then a man with Ernst’s face smiled evilly.
At that moment, I felt strongly that he was different from Ernst.
“Ancient Darkness.”
Hahaha.
The man burst into laughter.
“Yes, that’s what people of this generation call me.”
“……!”
I looked at him hesitantly at the gentle acknowledgment.
“My real name is Tenebris.”
The man with a languid expression introduced himself in a relaxed voice.
For a moment, I felt a slight shaking on the ground where I was standing on my feet.
“God of Brighim’s most distinguished servant and executive officer who rules the darkness.”
The black energy that bloomed around the man shook and dyed the surroundings black.
“But a insignificant human being dared to point her sword at me…… Ugh…….”
But the moment I pushed the blade at him, the man’s composure was immediately broken.
“Put that away right now.”
I fixed the sword and threatened to cut his throat at any moment.
“Damn it.”
The man suddenly spat out a curse word and removed the black energy surrounding us.
‘It’s ridiculous. Tenebris is one of the ancient apostles defined as evil. How did the ancient apostles…….’
It was when I was thinking while staring at the cold red eyes staring back at me.
“Yvonne…”
Suddenly he called me in a sad voice.
He had a tearful look on his face.
It was my friend Ernst’s face I remember.
“Yvonne, I’m hurt…….”
Ernst shed tears and held the blade of the sword against his neck with his bare hands.
“Yvonne, put this away. I’m scared.”
His palm was torn and black energy leaked through it.
‘You can’t be shaken. He’s not Ernst.’
Instead of blood, I stared at the flowing black energy and bit my lower lip.
“It’s me, it’s me, Ernst.”
He sobbed with his red eyes.
“You don’t like me anymore.”
“You, stop mimicking Ernst right now…….”
“Why? Is it because I’m worse than Theodore?”
The moment Theodore’s name came out of his mouth, I hesitated without realizing it.
“So you lied to me and disappeared?”
The Ancient Darkness, which was imitating Ernst, or was Ernst, said in a sad tone.
“Don’t talk nonsense…….”
“I like you.”
His subsequent words made me pause once again.
“You know I liked you.”
“……!”
The hand holding the sword paused in a moment of confusion.
“But you thought it was a passing feeling of a young boy.”
“What…”
“Brother Theodore wasn’t the only one who liked you. I liked you, too.”
The man cried and confessed as if he had really become an Ernst.
“I like you, Yvonne.”
“…….”
“From childhood to now…”
While I hardened like a statue, black energy bloomed around him again.
It was around the time when they turned into black spines.
kugwagwag-!
The surroundings shook with a loud roar.
“Ernst, you crazy bastard! How dare you mess with Yves!”
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a man came running in from behind and grabbed Tenebris by the collar before pushing him down.
The man who was handsome just by the back of his head…….
“Theodore?”
The man who climbed on top of Tenebris and overpowered him was none other than Theodore.
“Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty, where have you been and how did you appear……!”
Lyndon and the Imperial Knights who were blocking demons outside also followed.
“Hey, what’s this……. Leobrante?”
Tenebris under Theodore frowned at his golden eyes.
“There’s a Leobrante with such vicious energy?”
Tenebris murmured in bewilderment.
Before I knew it, all the black energy he had been emitting had disappeared.
From the moment Theodore appeared.
“Theodore? What happened?”
“I’m here to rescue you, my goddess.”
He smiled back at me.
The words gave me goosebumps.
“Are you crazy? Where did you learn to say that?”
When I asked back in bewilderment, he laughed even more.
“Does it sound bad? Then I’ll correct it. Theo is here to help, My Lord.”
Then he looked straight at me and whispered softly.
“Because Theo is a good dog.”
Not only me, but everyone who was there showed a terrible expression.
Even Tenebris underneath him.
“Are you crazy…….”
“What’s with your habit of talking to your brother, Ernst?”
Theodore immediately turned his head and looked down at Tenebris.
“While I was away, the palace was in a terrible mess.”
He asked fiercely with a smile.
“Ernst, did you do it?”
“Theodore! The person under you, he’s not Ernst. He’s a different being in Ernst’s shell.”
“Different being?”
Theodore stared into Tenebris’ red eyes and murmured in a low voice.
“No way, Tenebris?”
“You recognize me right away.”
At the end of his speech, his bright platinum blonde hair, which imitated Ernst, became black and lengthened.
Ernst’s features clearly remained, but perhaps because of the creepy cold atmosphere, he felt like a completely different person.
Theodore growled as he looked down at Tenebris.
“If you were only revived, it’s okay for me. But how dare you play tricks on my Yves with a face like Ernst, not like my face?”
“That person killed the people of the palace and even called demons!”
Theodore’s expression was even worse at Lyndon’s report.
I don’t know where he’s been and how he appeared here, but he must have seen it as I saw it on my way here.
In just half a day, people of the palace died and the palace was covered with demons.
For a moment, the air around Theodore sank coolly.
Dozens of golden groups of light bloomed around him and took the shape of daggers all at once.
‘Huh…??’
As I watched the scene, I inadvertently had a realisation.
‘Now that I see it….’
I didn’t think of it earlier, but I thought it was a little similar to Tenebris smoking dozens of black spines a while ago.
“Anyway, do I just have to kill this guy?”
Theodore murmured indifferently at Tenebris.
Then Tenebris, who had not been able to use even a little magic since Theodore’s appearance, smiled with his eyes bent crescent.
“If you kill me, that woman’s beloved human prince will die.”
“What?”
“Because the prince was the ‘vessel’ that’s been keeping me.”
For a moment, I remembered him muttering to himself earlier.
Isn’t he an insignificant human prince who was used to make my vessel?
Tenebris certainly said so.
The human prince was consumed by him to make his own ‘vessel’.
And the human prince he is referring to must be Ernst.
I couldn’t resist and approached him with the sword.
Then I aimed the tip of the sword at Tenebris who was lying at Theodore’s feet.
“Tell me, what did you do with Ernst? What do you mean ‘vessel’?”
The tip of the green sword threatened to stab Tenebris in the chest.
Knights of the Imperial Palace said Ernst had become a demon.
Ernst became a demon and took over the palace.
And the culprit of all this in front of him was Ernst’s face.
It wasn’t just imitating his face.
The expression and voice that made me soft, the words that Ernst couldn’t have said without himself…….
“Literally. This body is a ‘vessel’ made by those who tried to wake me up to contain my soul. The original pure soul in this body has been dedicated to me since he was conceived in his mother’s belly.”
“What…?”
For a moment, I didn’t understand the words.
It was when I was pondering on the words.
“Oh, my God. So my lovely half-brother was actually used as a vessel to wake up the Ancient Darkness?”
Theodore gritted his teeth and said as if he knew a story very well.
“Ho, you know about ‘vessel’, don’t you, human?”
Tenebris looked up at Theodore with an interesting face.
“Pure spirits are…….”
“The soul in the belly of the woman was pure because it couldn’t meet the light of the world.”
Tenebris explained with a chuckle.
Theodore’s face crumpled to perfection.
“Margarate……Did that crazy woman do such a thing? Ha, she is pathetic, too. She was raising something in the palace that wasn’t even human.”
“That’s right, the spirit of the miserable human prince became my nourishment and dried up. The day I am fully resurrected, he will perish completely.”
I couldn’t keep up with their conversation at all.
“Theodore, what are you talking about?”
“……literally. Margarate sacrificed Ernst, when she was pregnant with him, to make a vessel to wake him up.”
“When she was pregnant……?”
“Yes. So even before he was born, Ernst was not a human being, but a ‘vessel’ of this thing.”
“……!”
I looked at Tenebris with a shocked face.
He followed Ernst’s features, which still lingered over his face.
The cowardly cat-like face that everyone liked, even Odelia, who said other men are like flour dough, said he was especially pretty…….
“Then if we kill him…….”
“Ernst will die, too.”
Theodore answered with clenched teeth.
