chapter 1014
34. I am the great villain in the script
I cannot use the script to let Nilu and her fairies leave, because if I do, nothing will change from what Nilu experienced in the history I remember. Then… she will certainly not escape the fate of being “destroyed by me” in the “next era.” I am “the great villain Oujilide,” and I have already regretted once about “using the power of the script.” This time, I will not act out of meaningless saintly behavior just because of my attachment to Nilu .
But… I also do not want Nilu to stay and make sacrifices for my escape. Even if this is the most direct way to change the script and alter the upcoming history, I cannot do it!
You cannot have both fish and bear’s paw; the result of wanting to save everyone is that no one can be saved.
So…
After glacing at Kefier and then shifting my gaze to Nilu, I found my only answer.
“Don’t you understand, Nilu? If you kill me, you can be ‘safe.'”
This answer is—let me “die.” Anyone present can do it; just kill me. As for why I chose Nilu, it is because… I hope she does so, and she is the most “qualified” to kill me .
As long as I die, the Order Fairy will definitely jump over this era in search of me. In this way, whether Nilu is alive or dead, whether she exists or disappears, these things are completely unimportant to her, and she can survive. Moreover… it will be a 100% survival, absolutely without any mistakes!
After that, as long as I pick up Nilu’s script again and let her “reappear,” it will be fine. Aside from my non-existence in the “next era,” everyone else will not change at all. Furthermore, the Order Fairy will no longer pay visits, so the “next era” will inevitably be a peaceful and stable era.
A perfect world.
I looked at Nilu, watching her expression gradually turn to shock. At this moment… the reactions of the fairies around Nilu no longer mattered.
“Painter… Painter of Scrolls?”
Nilu seemed to be doubting her own ears, desperately confirming with me once more, “What are you thinking!? Kill… is this some kind of metaphor? You just love to say things that are hard to understand!”
“This sentence has no meaning beyond the literal. Sharp weapons, magic, whatever it takes, kill me, Nilu, and you and your fairies, even your empire, can be safe.”
“Painter of Scrolls!”
“You know it very well, Nilu. You know ‘those fairies’ are here to find me, for my power and for my existence. Is this so hard for you to understand? Queen of the Rodma fairies, your empire, your dreams, your everything… has become what it is now because of me. It is all because… I am by your side, recording you as your Painter of Scrolls.”
How easy would it be for Nilu to “kill me” now? Not at all. So, I must give her a reason that will inevitably make her act.
This time, I will search for Nilu’s script for my death.
She is the only one qualified for this, because…
“It’s my fault, Nilu. It’s me who destroyed your empire, who ended your era.”
“Is this reason enough for you to kill me, Nilu?”
As I spoke, I lifted my hood. This was the first time since becoming a Scrollmaster that I took off my hood in front of Nilu, revealing myself beneath the robes.
There was no special meaning behind it. After all, this version of Nilu from the Rodma Empire era surely wouldn’t recognize me. I just wanted to do it. At least for this moment, I wanted to face Nilu as Euclid and accept her death script.
Kephiel floated beside me. She already knew what I intended to do.
“Is this really okay, Euclid?”
“This is the perfect method. I don’t look down on Nilu. But as long as I’m ‘dead,’ everything here will calm down.”
I was speaking to Kephiel, but also to Nilu.
“Scrollmaster! You’re…”
“Don’t be naive, Nilu. Can’t you see it yet? Do you still think I’m lying? Are you still making excuses to your fairies for my sake? Everything is because of me, Nilu, because of your ‘ Scrollmaster.'”
I couldn’t let Nilu give up on this final “chance,” so I had no intention of hiding anything anymore.
I wasn’t lying; this is the truth. Nilu just didn’t want to admit it, and I hadn’t said it before.
“Since you discovered my power, your empire has been heading toward destruction. Do you think this is someone else’s fault? Do you think it’s your disciplined fairies who betrayed you? Nilu… You’re wrong. I’m the one pulling the strings. I’m the ‘villain.’ I’m the one who’s caused you to lose everything…”
My existence brings the death script. My appearance brings destruction. It’s not because I’m some “walking Conan,” but because the Order fairies have been chasing me, trampling on an era they never cared about.
I cannot exist in any era…
“I am the ‘great villain’ of this world. So… go ahead, kill me, Nilu.”
With that, I stood still, not intending to resist with the script, even anxiously waiting for Nilu’s tendrils.
Otherwise, time would not allow Nilu to “kill me.”
At this point, there should be no problem, right? In this era of the Rodmar Empire, even if Nilu harbors feelings for the painter, she is still the queen of the fairies in the Rodmar Empire.
How could she tolerate the existence of someone who caused the destruction of her empire? So, she would definitely take action!
Nilu’s expression gradually transformed from shock to anger.
See? I knew Nilu would take action. She is my maid, and no one understands Nilu better than I do.
【Nilu killed Oujilide!】
This script of death is also the reason why you, Nilu, have the “qualification” to kill me, because I have not lied about anything before; I am the one who harmed you. Whether it is the current you or the you who will be “the maid” later.
You have every right to kill me, and it would be no pity to have me sliced into a thousand pieces.
Come on! Kill me, let me save you and “you,” and the next era!
I closed my eyes, waiting for my inevitable end, which I do not regret at all. This is just the beginning; next, even if I become “Order,” I will definitely…
“!”
My body was embraced by Nilu, but…
What she did was not to grant me a painless death in an instant, but to pull me behind her! Then, using the fairies’ magic, she blocked the other magical forces that had just attacked from behind me!
Nilu did not kill me! Fool! Idiot! Why are you hesitating at the last moment!?
Now, even if you want to “kill me,” it’s already too late!
“Here they come…traitors.”
In the next moment, Nilu looked at the self-disciplined fairies that had appeared before us.
They were being “led” by a familiar white-haired girl floating in mid-air.
