The Cute Master Was Actually the Black Demon King

12 – Destiny and Time

“──.”

I had a dream.

That was a long time ago.

No, it’s not like it was a long time ago.

In terms of time alone, less than two years have passed at most.

…… But.

For me, what happened at that time.

Like something in the very distant past, like something in the very distant beyond.

Even though it remains vividly in my memory, it felt like a very long time ago.

“… ….”

That was probably right before Ashera ran out of control.

Something I don’t want to go through again, something that should never happen again.

…… White’s mind was gradually returning to a time in the past.

*****

“…… Master.”

Quaang, quaaang!

It was a day when lightning struck countless times.

However, those lightnings would never have been a natural phenomenon.

Isn’t he like that too?

The lightning strikes everywhere in real time were coated in a variety of incomparable colors.

At the same time, it was filled with vivid mana energy that a wizard would never notice.

Damn it!

An old tree that was struck directly by lightning turned black and collapsed in vain.

“Ahahahaha… ….”

At the same time, a young woman’s shallow laughter echoed quietly.

“… ….”

…… White faces Ashera from the front.

His two eyes were vibrating so intensely that there was nothing more.

“…… Who is it?”

At last, White heard a trembling voice out of his mouth.

Although it was shaken so badly.

If there is one emotion clearly contained in his voice, it is.

That’s right.

“In the world, who has brought Master to this point?”

…… It was a clear feeling of anger.

White’s expression began to contort violently.

“…… To this point, I’m talking about driving you!”

Ahhhhh!

According to White’s turbulent emotions, a deep blue light burst from his entire body.

…… If a wizard of the level of a great mage could not control his own mana.

At this moment, how much turbulence White’s emotions are going through.

No one would expect it easily.

“…… Disciple, calm down.”

However, despite White’s explosive mana aura.

Ashera just had a gentle smile on her lips.

The emotion that appeared on her expression could be called the light of resignation.

“I was stupid. My magic, my mana. There was no way ‘they’ would just leave it alone.”

“…… Master.”

“Ahahahaha… …. In the end, that’s it. They still couldn’t get rid of that disgusting thought.”

“… ….”

At Ashera’s continued words, White’s expression slowly began to harden.

Because I knew.

Soon, she will become his own mentor.

Because I knew very well what the ending would be like.

White couldn’t contain her fluctuating emotions.

‘…… No.’

No.

You shouldn’t send it like this.

…… Is my master

The one who taught me, guided me, and always gave me a bright smile.

My teacher, who is more precious than anyone else.

…… Asherah.

“… ….”

Koo goong, koo goong…….

White’s mana began to stir with her uneasy expression.

‘…… What.’

On his expression, a light of remorse and guilt was rising.

…… What is a Grand Mage-class wizard?

What do you mean, a wizard who has reached the highest level, which is rare on the continent, beyond the 9th circle?

Unable to find a single teacher of his own.

Without being able to save a little girl who is hanging down helplessly…… !

…… Countless thoughts floated in and out of White’s head over and over again.

How to do it.

What should I do to get out of this situation?

Isn’t the name of the Grand Mage class wizard?

There were countless magics that could be handled, and the methods that could be used were not something that could be dismissed as simply one or two.

It is also possible to return patients who are about to die to their original state, and it is possible to completely destroy any fortress of iron walls with a snap of a finger.

…… However.

If so, why?

“…… Master.”

A violently shaking voice leaked from White’s lips.

…… Why, such a big mage-level wizard?

He couldn’t find a teacher of his own.

I didn’t even notice that she was being eroded by her mental magic in real time, and I didn’t feel like I couldn’t protect her.

…… In the end, let her do it.

To have such an ending that can be called the worst.

Did you leave it alone?

“… ….”

White’s eyes slowly began to turn empty.

With an expressionless light floating over her face, White bit her lip.

“…… I’m sorry.”

“Disciple.”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Master. Asherah…….”

“…… Disciple.”

“If only I had done a little better. If only I was a little better. If only I had the power to crush all the elements that bother you.”

“… ….”

Despite Ashera’s repeated calls, White’s self-talk did not stop.

Just blazing blankly in her inorganic eyes, White covered her own face with her palms.

“…… Ah, Asherah. Please.”

“… ….”

White’s voice slowly began to get wet.

“Master, Asherah. Don’t leave me alone please Please don’t leave me.”

“Ahahahaha… ….”

At White’s muttering, Ashera let out a self-deprecating laugh.

Then White quietly removed the palm of her hand that was covering her face.

“…… Master-“

“Disciple.”

Before White could say anything to her.

Woe!

Quite abruptly, Ashera gave White a hug with all her might.

“…… Master?”

White let her bewildered voice out of her mouth.

Wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

What if she, whose condition was so precarious that she was suddenly embraced by herself?

“…… Oh, no. First of all, you have to calm down—”

So, White quickly came to her senses and tried to pour out her words.

“—It’s already too late.”

“… ….”

With only a short word from Ashera, White couldn’t continue her words.

Jureuk.

…… A single tear flowed down her white cheek.

And then, toward his own disciple.

“…… Disciple.”

Even though Ashera is calm, she opened her mouth with a calm voice that gave a sense of security somewhere.

“Don’t be too sad. It is not your responsibility.”

“… ….”

“…… Don’t blame yourself too much, disciple. I’ll say it again, it’s not your fault.”

“…… Master.”

White’s expression was distorted beyond that.

Tears were flowing non-stop from both of his eyes before he knew it.

“…… Even if I fall like this.”

In other words, even if it is corrupted.

As she added briefly, Ashera put a faint smile on her lips.

“…… I hope my disciple is not sad. Because that’s not what I want.”

“… ….”

“I’m sure you understand what I mean. Disciple.”

Within seconds, Ashera slipped her body away from her white body.

Then, she gradually felt a sense of strength draining from her body.

Ashera carefully removed White’s bangs.

“Master…… ?”

The sudden contact made White momentarily panicked.

She doesn’t care about that, and Ashera just stays silent.

Talk-

…… She put her own lips to White’s forehead.

“…… !”

At the instant soft touch, White’s expression changed into a comical one in an instant.

“…… Ahahahaha.”

I wonder if that expression was too funny.

Ashera smiled and showed a bright eye smile along with her graceful trajectory.

“How are you, White? My disciple.”

“…… Master.”

“…… Even though the ‘now me’ will disappear like this, I will always wish for my disciple’s happiness.”

“Master…… !”

White’s calls began to grow in intensity, but Ashera did not blink her eyes.

She just kept her calm smile on her face.

“…… Whoops.”

Asherah ended her words with a wide smile in her eyes.

“It would be really nice if the day came when I could see my disciple again.”

Perhaps that’s impossible.

…… As she muttered behind her back, Ashera nodded her head slightly bitterly.

She might be able to meet her again.

Her own disciple was one of the best wizards on the continent, and one day she will stand in front of her to stop herself.

…… However, maybe.

At that time, I was myself.

…… He would no longer be the “Self” He is now.

“Well then, bye. My disciple.”

“…… Ah.”

“I’ve lived through so many years, but the 20 years I spent with you were incredibly happy.”

“Oh, no. Asherah…… !”

For some reason.

In a strangely ominous sense, in an instinct.

White hurriedly stretched out her hand toward Ashera.

aaa!

“…… !”

Immediately after that, black lightning strikes violently.

-…… If I can be saved by a disciple, I must be very lucky at that time.

‘White at that time’, except for the last moment.

One year left until the end of the world.

Never again would he see his own master come to his senses.

“Ah, ah.”

I squeezed White’s lips and began to let out moans soaked in despair.

“Ahh.”

aaa.

And then, before long.

“aaa-!”

Feeling the full sense of his own world collapsing.

Since White has come to dye his own two pupils dark.

“──.”

…… Do you feel like giving up

Can you give up?

I will never give up.

I will find a way somehow.

Somehow, by any means, by any means.

I, I, I.

…… My teacher, Asherah—

“…… Ha ha ha ha.”

Soon, funny.

White’s lips were squeezed, and a hollow laugh leaked out.

However, that expression was clearly distorted with a mixture of despair.

“… ….”

The great mage of the continent beyond the 9th circle.

‘White Qliphoth’, just like that.

‘…… It’s an unavoidable fate.’

One year left until the end of the world.

For all of that time.

I decided to create a magic that interfered with ‘time’.

“─That kind of fate, I will twist it.”

Finally, eventually.

On the path of magic, transcending human limits.

…… Like that.

Time─
