A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 62 – Reunion with the Evil God

The pendant that fell on the floor was glowing by itself even in the deep mountain where the light was barely visible.

Usually, objects that emit light on their own in such a dark place were things that should not be touched carelessly.

If that pendant was an object filled with resentment left by someone dying, just touching it could cause trouble.

I took holy water out of my pocket.

It was a thing called holy water that was created when the priests breathed in holy power.

And the priest’s divine power was one of the things that could cause great damage to spiritual beings such as ghosts and evil spirits.

I opened the cap of the holy water bottle in my hand, sprinkled the holy water over the pendant, and stepped back for a moment.

But nothing happened when I sprinkled holy water on it.

Then, at least this pendant wasn’t inhabited by evil spirits.

Isn’t it because some kind of magic or spirit dwells in it to emit light? I thought about it, but no matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason to have magic or spirits dwell in such a small pendant.

However, in order to prepare for the unexpected, I cautiously approached and moved the pendant with the tip of my sword.

The pendant that the blade touched soon came out of the slightly buried soil and revealed its lofty appearance.

There was no reaction from the pendant, which was fully exposed to the ground.

“Am I mistaken?”

I couldn’t overcome my embarrassment and spat out words to myself.

Then he approached and picked up the pendant.

“What is this little thing…….”

[Oh, I see you again. It’s a human child.]

As I picked up the pendant, I heard someone whispering in my ear.

“Whoa!”

I was startled by the sound in my ear and threw the pendant away.

However, the pendant that was supposed to fly somewhere was surprisingly floating in the air.

“Everyone, who are you?”

[Did you forget my voice already?]

That voiced entity seemed to know me.

It was really worth watching, wondering if he had already forgotten his voice.

However, I couldn’t remember who was making that voice.

“Who are you?”

[Me? I am a victim.]

The voice coming out of the pendant defined herself as the victim.

No, I’m the one who was surprised by that voice, so why do you say you’re the victim?

“What do you mean?”

[I am the goddess of light, the goddess of justice. I am also a being who was unfairly persecuted because of those who served the two prostitutes.]

Pendant’s voice began to speak more and more incomprehensibly.

To say that she was a whore after seeing the goddess of light and the goddess of justice because she was unfairly persecuted.

Really, I don’t know who it is, but I have to admit that I have guts.

A normal person would have been turned to ashes by a lightning bolt that fell from the sky if he went around bragging about such a thing.

Just by looking at it, I could tell that this voice was an extraordinary being.

Just seeing the two goddesses of the most religious church in the world and talking like that was a great existence in itself.

And then, I knew who could dare to call the two goddesses sluts.

“Is it an evil god?”

[Correct answer.]

The voice that came out of the pendant sounded very enjoyable.

Are you really happy that I found out who you are?

“Are you that happy?”

[Isn’t it obvious? The existence of the prophecy recognizes me, how can I not be happy?]

“The Prophecy… existence?”

The moment I heard that I was the existence of a prophecy spoken by an evil spirit, I felt something strange.

Is there a prophecy?

What prophecy are you talking about?

“Are you trying to trick me? A prophecy is a prophecy, I am not that grandiose.”

[Oh, you’re not yet beyond the limits of mortality. With a mortal body, you can never remember the many things that happen on the border between immortality and eternity.]

The evil spirit was still talking incomprehensible and cryptic words.

What do you mean by mortal limits?

The boundary between immortality and eternity?

Aren’t the two words the same thing?

I don’t know. Perhaps, the evil spirits were lying to me from the beginning.

What should I believe in a situation where I don’t know where the truth begins and how far lies lie?

In this situation, I had no choice but to gamble.

“Can you promise me everything you tell me is true?”

[Well? Which one is true? Which one is false? Are you not familiar with yourself? Throw the limits off. Then the invisible will become visible.]

“You should know very well that I can’t throw off my limits right now anyway. I will believe you if you swear by your existence that you will only tell me the truth.”

[You’re clever, human child.]

I set a condition to the evil god.

I will take everything you say as the truth.

But swear on your very existence that you will only tell me the truth.

To be honest, I don’t think the evil spirits will accept this.

After all, the evil spirit sees the damage, not me.

[Good. Staking my existence, I will only tell you the truth. I, $%^!@@$, Swear my all to tell only the truth to the human here, Alberto Salihar Maydern.]

However, contrary to what I expected, the evil spirit readily accepted my proposal.

It was an evil spirit that spoke its name in a bizarre language that I couldn’t understand at all.

After his oath was finished, several layers of rings were made over the pendant.

From noble mtl dot com.

“Did you really swear?”

That ring is what appears when you swear to someone.

If someone broke an oath, the ring would burrow into the soul of the oath-bearer and cause him to die in the most terrible agony.

So, involuntarily, a stupid sound came out of my mouth.

Seriously, he did it considering that he would be harmed.

[This is unexpected. A human child Well, that’s the limit for you who can’t see through the truth.]

The evil spirit made fun of me by saying that I knew that.

However, it is the amateurs who are angry here.

A true professional must control his emotions even at this moment.

I didn’t care that the evil spirits were teasing me, and I said what I wanted to say.

“After. I won’t mind you teasing me. However, since you even swore to me, you can’t back down anymore, can you?”

[You’re asking something obvious.]

“Then tell me. What the hell is that ‘prophecy’? Also, what is the existence of a prophecy?”

I was curious about the ‘prophecy’ that the evil spirit spoke of.

Seeing that the evil spirit called me the being of prophecy, I must have been an important being to the evil spirit.

[A long time ago, a goddess who sees through everything in the world told me. In the distant future, a mortal who can completely kill me will be born.]

“Is that all?”

[That mortal can handle both the power of aura and mana, is more righteous than anyone else, but will be a being who endures hardships and adversity for a long time.]

“So, is that why you think it’s me?”

Listening to the explanation of the evil spirit, even the prophecy was really clumsy.

Who can handle both mana and aura?

Could it be that I am the only one in this wide world?

There must be someone else.

[The goddess told me. That I would know the moment I saw it. That is why I said that you are the child of the prophecy.]

“Hu, good. Suppose I am the one who can kill you. How is it going to kill you?”

First, I questioned him, assuming that everything he said was true.

Really, what method should be used to kill evil spirits?

Because the evil spirits are divine beings, they certainly wouldn’t be the ones who would be damaged by swords, spears, or magic like us.

Then, the only thing left is to attack the spiritual realm like the divine power.

The problem was that I didn’t have the power to handle the divine power.

Divine power is a kind of gift bestowed by the gods to beings with faith.

Since I don’t have that faith, it’s impossible for the gods to bestow divine power on me.

[Simple. The being destined to kill me is also called a vessel that will accept me.]

The moment I heard the words of the evil spirit, I remembered what the church was talking about as an oracle.

‘Vessel for the Resurrection of Evil Spirits’.

The church said they were looking for an existence that could be used as a vessel for the resurrection of evil spirits.

Certainly, that being is me?

[The only way I can die is to enter the body of the one destined to kill me, occupy his body, and then die. If that happens, the existence of me will disappear, but the one who was destined to kill me will survive.]

What the evil spirit said then was shocking.

The only way to kill the evil spirit was that the evil spirit possessed my body and died at someone’s hand.

[However, the two prostitutes of the pantheon will never want me to die. So, they will definitely try to find you. If you die, I will never die.]

I don’t know if the evil spirit’s explanation is true or false.

However, if what he said was true, I could understand why the church was looking for an existence that could be used as a vessel for the resurrection of evil spirits.

What if the two goddesses of light and justice do not wish the death of the evil god?

So, what if the two goddesses were to find and destroy those who were destined to kill the evil spirits, so that they would not die?

A terrible thing was about to happen.

“Do you want death?”

[Yes. I want death Because of the obsession of those two prostitutes, I have suffered countless days. Do you know why I am called an evil spirit? It was because I did not accept the love confessions of those two damn sluts.]

The evil spirit began to tell me about the grievances it had accumulated over the years.

[The two goddesses said they didn’t know their love, and drove me to be a bad guy. Not only that, but he tried to resurrect me using the Empire of Darkness in order to forcibly awaken me who wanted to rest. However, my loyal apostle prevented it, but in the aftermath, I went mad, so I had no choice but to let the people of this land kill my apostle.]

As I listened to the explanation of the evil spirit, I felt a dizzying change in my head.

In the world, where is the truth and how far is the lie?

I didn’t know.
