158. Brilliant colors (3600)(1/2)
The high priest was crazy.
And she knew this very well.
Maybe it started a few decades ago.
Or maybe hundreds of years ago, she saw the grayish-white figure for the first time, the colorful and magnificent colors, and realized that everything they lived in was false.
Or...a thousand years ago, when He came here.
At that time, the number of fairy species was far more than that, but almost spread throughout the forest.
She doesn't remember how many times she has experienced, just like she doesn't remember her name before.
I only remember the name "high priest".
And the price that needs to be paid to bear this title.
The high priest has made attempts. On the contrary, she has made countless attempts, using all her wisdom and imagination, again and again, trying to crack this endless cycle of reincarnation, or be able to save the villagers who know nothing.
But every ending, without exception, ends in failure.
The reason is simple and cruel.
How could she save a group of people who had long been dead?
The high priest told the villagers the truth more than once, but they would still forget everything until dawn next time.
And the only one who carries this deep secret is the high priest.
It was just because of the mission left by the goblin royal family when He came, and with the power of his blood, she could remember all this.
No one can understand her pain.
As she said, the more you know, it is never a lucky thing.
The high priest would rather be like the villagers, know nothing, and be immersed in the illusion of beautiful and happy.
There is no need to witness the number of people in the village getting smaller and smaller, nor to be seriously questioned, nor to see their collapse after knowing the truth again and again.
Once or twice, the high priest could bear it.
But she has forgotten all the times she has experienced.
Painful memories continue to settle and accumulate.
So the high priest went crazy.
Her soul seemed to be divided into two parts.
Some people stick to their mission in their hearts and protect the peaceful and peaceful life of the villagers.
The other part is to have deep resentment and anger towards this secret.
Why should she bear this painful mission?
Why is she the only one?
The color of the high priest's fur also reflected her heart to a certain extent, with black and white alternating, and she fell into endless struggles.
And the end of the madness brought her on a path of destruction.
The high priest, threw himself into His arms.
——She would rather believe in the indescribable existence than to endure the pain of this cycle of reincarnation.
"boom--"
The roar of the ground continued to intensify.
Cracks like spider webs began to appear on the land.
The violent tremor made many fairies who had not yet turned into gray and white shadows in their hearts and felt fear.
What makes people most confused is what the high priest just said.
Every word can be understood, but when they are connected, people cannot believe it no matter what.
I dare not, don't want to, and don't want to.
It's in front of you.
Weird changes are still happening!
As the last ray of light in the horizon dissipated, the forest stained by the night began to reveal its true appearance.
The rich food and wine disappeared.
The houses of people not far away are together.
Lush trees grow hideously and wildly, the purple-black bark is dry and some branches grow deformed.
The weeds and shrubs everywhere were even more irregular, twisting and stretching their bodies.
It's like a horrible forest in a fairy tale.
The dead breath spreads.
The most huge change is this existence that is regarded as the "From the Mother Goddess".
Looking upwards, all the leaves disappeared without a trace on the extremely tall canopy, as if they had never appeared.
There are only dense branches, with grayish-dead colors.
And weirdly entangled.
It's not like a branch, but more like a mollusk's tentacles!
But on the trunk, there is a colorful color.
Extremely gorgeous and extremely dangerous.
"So, that's the truth."
Around Aoye.
Sheila lowered her head, and her lower body began to transform into gray waste.
She first glanced at her sister in the distance - Luna, with her eyes blank, as if she had recalled something, and looked at her sister in a sympathetic manner, and her face was wet without realizing it.
Sheila looked at the high priest on the high tree again, with guilt and sympathy in her eyes.
——I’m so sorry that you have endured these truths by yourself over the years.
Then, grayish white spread on her face.
Aoye's eyes were fixed on the trunks of the huge trees and the cracked ground.
The pure color is slowly leaking from the cracks.
It seems that I have been sleeping here for a long time.
Aoye didn't know what the goblin royal race did thousands of years ago, so that their dead souls could live in this forest all the time.
But now it seems that this is more like a means of fighting against this star-like color.
The blood belonging to Rin Tamakawa undoubtedly destroyed some balance in it.
This makes the star color no longer hide under the ground.
Flowing out from cracks.
Before Tamakawa Rin and the others could come back to their senses from the impact of knowing the truth, they saw such things they had seen last night.
Everyone had pale faces, and a sense of despair and helplessness arose in their hearts.
Just because there are so many of them.
It is no longer just a small path, but it covers the surroundings, like a colorful galaxy.
It is gorgeous, but it makes people feel cold in their hearts.
Tori's reaction was unusual, not afraid or surprised.
In the colorful colors, there is greed.
He began to slowly wrap around the grayish white figures, trying to dye them the same color.
"They are preying on."
Aoye confirmed the situation in front of him and no longer acted as a bystander.
The black fog spread quietly around him.
As soon as they were in contact with them, Aoye felt a strong burning sensation in the black fog - like a thick acid pouring directly on her skin, which is an unbearable pain for ordinary people.
After rising to LV2, the black fog not only obeys Aoye's drive, but also transmits perception to a certain extent.
"No! No—"
The high priest looked at the gray and white shadows stained with his color and covered his head with his paws in pain.
"What did I do!?"
But soon, she smiled crazy again.
"Hahaha...Isn't this very good? It's their honor to be one with the great Him!"
"In this way, everything will be over!"
"Wait, this black fog..."
The high priest whose fur color turned black looked confused.
In her original opinion, He should have been invincible, but now... what is the black fog that suddenly appears?
It is eroding with the amorphous colors, and it is comparable to each other.
Why, it is like an existence at the same level or higher level!
"Bang!"
