He doesn't understand.
Why should life have value?
"My noble king, as you commanded, I have cultivated the most powerful and loyal blades for you! With them, I believe all the problems you will encounter in the future will be solved!"
"Well done, reward."
The one who had always been high and mighty was now looking down upon another person.
This was a scene he had never seen before.
His heart was shocked.
turn out to be... ...
There is something greater in this world.
An existence called "King".
The king became his new master.
What he was going to do remained unchanged.
kill.
kill.
kill... ...
Kill all the enemies the king wants to kill.
Until one day.
"The great war is coming~!"
"My loyal weapons, it's time to gain greater glory for me!"
The king said so.
Take him onto the battlefield.
Then... ...
The king is dead.
The body was hung outside for public display.
The flies and insects were flying around on it, and its ugly appearance, emitting a foul smell, was the same as all the people he killed.
The king is no longer great.
He became a corpse that was lower than anyone else and had no value at all.
He doesn't understand.
If the king dies.
Who will become his master?
At that time, that person appeared.
He couldn't remember what that person looked like, because he was the owner of that sword, and the owner of that sword was a being greater than the king, and he didn't dare to look such an existence in the face.
But that person said this.
"Darius, you are free. From now on, no one can enslave you anymore. You don't have to live the same life as before. Find your own life according to your own wishes."
free?
What is that...
What is your life like?
Is there any other meaning besides killing and fighting?
Looking back, he found that he could not find anything else.
Ugh... Ahhhhh——!
How cruel!
Is this person going to deprive himself of his life?
Obviously, this is all that remains in my life.
For the first time, he felt fear.
Whether it is the person in front of me or what he said.
It made him feel fear from the bottom of his soul.
When I came to my senses, I was already kneeling on the ground.
"Please—"
“… …”
"Please allow me to follow you. Please give me the chance to repay you—!"
There is no other way.
He couldn't find anything other than this road.
In the end, he got what he wanted and stayed.
Then, as usual, kill, kill, kill all the enemies that appear in front of you.
but... ...
Something is different too.
"You've worked hard, Darius. Would you like a drink?"
"Darius, you're rushing too far ahead. This is very dangerous!"
"Darius, you're not young anymore, have you ever thought about getting married? ...You don't understand these things? Haha, that's right. Let's think about these things after the war is over~"
Why?
This person will...
"...I was born in the Southern Union, a very peaceful place. After the war is over, if possible, I want to return there and spend the rest of my life."
"Strange? Haha, heroes like us are different from those who have come this far on their own like Irus. While gaining unimaginable power, we also lose something. It's not too early to think about the rest of our lives now."
"By the way, Darius, isn't it time for you to think about your future?"
Why?
This person will be so different.
Even if you want to regard this person as a greater "king", his actions are far from what you know.
Strange.
This person is full of strangeness.
He could not understand such an existence and felt deeply afraid of it.
"The armor is damaged. Let's get a better one in the future."
When he realized it, he had already said that he was thinking about the future.
Even if it's a small thing.
He also understood that he was being transformed by that person into an appearance he did not recognize using some unknown power.
He subconsciously felt resistance, yet confused.
Because he never made a choice.
Or rather, he never had the power to choose, but now he is faced with a situation he has never encountered before.
Can you make choices on your own?
Before he figured out the question of choice.
That's what happened...
When I came to my senses.
Everyone else is dead.
Before him stood a figure that he could never defeat.
"I've been watching you, Darius. You're very different."
"Now, I'm willing to give you a chance."
"Come and choose——"
"To live? Or... to die!"
die?
Will I die?
He knew that what the figure said was absolutely true, because it was an existence that would put even brave men in a difficult battle.
The possibility of victory does not exist at all.
Life is completely in the hands of the master.
"I...want to live."
He made his choice.
He succumbed to the fear of death.
