The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

{Despair over futile defeat}

At Theodore’s words that he would protect her, Cynthia nodded her head.

“Yes, please.”

If an ordinary student had said the same thing as Theodore now, she would have reacted differently. She is

She is a senior, and while she cares about getting help from her juniors, she should have been seriously worried about whether she should help her with something.

But she didn’t have to worry about that if the junior was Theodore Skylord.

If something happened to worry about him, the

Chosen one, it would probably mean that the world would perish.

The status of the chosen one is part of being buried because of William, but in reality it meant being the only hope to save the world from destruction.

If such a chosen one, Theodore Skylord, were only in danger here, the world would perish, so it was worth seriously considering giving up on life.

It was different from fakes like William Artin.

‘I didn’t even believe William at first.’

Cynthia actually seriously doubted that William Artine might be the Chosen One, and she distrusted it.

If he was the chosen one, their fate would have already been judged hopelessly.

Compared to him, Theodore Skylord’s power was truly overwhelming, worthy of being the chosen one, and I thought that he might be the hope to save the world.

In the first place, Cynthia, who was not a person of power in the Britannian Empire and was just a student, was concerned about whether she would survive in the future, so she was not the party to the blow that the Britannia Empire put on William.

‘That means… ‘

So Cynthia came to a quick conclusion.

The man who identified himself as Creed was so hostile that he said that Theodore, the Chosen One, would protect him.

‘Maybe he’s a very bad guy.’

She got goosebumps at the thought, but trusting her chosen one, she decided to think she was safe.

However, what happened before her eyes surpassed her imagination.

“This is true.”

It started with a red glow in the eyes of a man named Creed.

After that, his whole body twisted grotesquely.

A hideous monster with countless tentacles and sharp insect legs appeared all over the body.

“Your appearance has also changed.”

However, Theodore did not show any surprise when he saw the monster, and rather evaluated that it was different from before.

“Yes, in order to deal with you, we must continue our evolution.”

Creed, who spoke as if it was natural, moved in the shape of a grotesque monster, and Theodore also moved.

And after a while, Cynthia felt like she couldn’t keep up with what was happening to her.

Boom! Bang! Bang!

Every time the two, moving at invisible speeds, attacked each other, the sound of the impact could be heard spreading around.

And during this confrontation, I saw things like long, slender insect legs that had been severed scattered around.

Looking at this situation, it was clear that the odds were leaning towards Theodore.

‘Too fast!’

But she was so fast that she couldn’t quite figure out what was what.

But if there was one thing that was clear, it was that she couldn’t deal with that monster.

I don’t know what the monster was trying to do to her, but she knew that if it wasn’t for Theodore, she would have done herself no good.

The thought of it gave Cynthia goosebumps at the thought of how horrible it was.

“Keoouk!”

Then the match was decided.

Creed was lying on the floor again in human form.

However, long fragments like insect legs and traces of severed tentacles scattered all over the place clearly remained as evidence that his identity was a monster.

And then, as if a great invisible force was weighing him down, he saw a hollow around the ground he fell on.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! It’s really amazing. The power of the chosen one… Is just as frightening as expected.”

Even in a subdued state, Creed built a minefield.

“It’s an empty defeat. Oh, I came here to give hope to a girl who despairs over an empty defeat, but I never thought I would experience such an empty defeat again.”

Towards Creed who muttered that, Theodore said in a cold voice.

“Even if I kill you here, the main body is separate, so I can’t say I’m killing you completely. But at least you have to disappear.”

“hehehe, yes. I was prepared to risk my life in the first place. No matter how careful I was, I couldn’t have avoided your eyes.”

Creed, who said that, had already prepared himself for death.

And Theodore turned to him and said, looking at him in disgust with his expression so cold.

“It’s disgusting to see you in human form. Parasites.”

“hehehehe, it’s a parasite~ That’s not wrong.”

After those words, Creed suddenly threw something at Theodore.

“By the way, don’t you wonder? Why did I approach Cynthia Collins and give her her powers to target her Yuria Arsane?”

“I’d like to ask you a question too. Did you think I would fall for such a seductress?”

“Huh, hahahahaha~ No. Then hurry up and kill me. I hope the day will come when the main body will kill you next time.”

With those words, Theodore’s sword cut Creed’s throat.

As Creed’s throat was cut, I watched his body crumble and turn to powder.

“That will never happen. You will all die.”

Theodore, who muttered in such a low voice, looked at Cynthia.

“What the heck is this? These, these monsters… No, are these monsters the scourge that will bring the end of the world?”

This was the first thing Cynthia asked.

Frightened by the fact that such a monster was approaching her, she first asked about the monster.

“That’s right. There probably won’t be any more attacks in the future, so just relax.”

And Theodore, as if he did not want to talk to her at length any longer, sent her back to her hospital room with her bed.

But when she returned to her hospital room, Theodore was nowhere to be seen next to her.

He had already disappeared.

‘What is it?’

Cynthia completely forgot her sense of despair over her futile defeat.

It was because what she had just experienced had been too traumatic for her to pay attention to such a trivial matter.

I never forgot the sight of that hideous monster.

And she couldn’t help but realize why her chosen one was the hope to save the world.

A hero was the one who defended the world against such terrifying monsters.

What is a hero if not the hope of saving the world?

‘I have no choice but to believe and follow.’

And she was convinced that in order to deal with monsters like now, she had no choice but to trust and follow him, the Chosen One.

‘High Helminto, Creed.’

As he recalled the Helminto he had removed today, Theodore was recalling the past 11 years ago.

Since he wasn’t even a body anyway, he could easily be removed without having to use his power.

However, the upper level Helminto was not all of Creed’s main body.

Many Helmintos were hiding now, and the initial Helmintos spread from the Thran Empire were only light.

‘Creed, this guy is tough.’

And among them, Creed was a Helminto that was quite memorable to Theodore.

He was also one of the Helmintos who attacked for the life of the Duke of Skylord 11 years ago.

Of course, that Creed, like the current Creed, was only an alter ego created by the main body, but anyway, the fact that the main body Creed tried to assassinate the Duke of Skylord was something Theodore could never forget.

It was the day he confirmed his guilt for attempting to assassinate his father, the day he first met the Duke of Skylord, and the day that became Theodore Skylord, not Theodore Artin.

[If you don’t protect Yuria Arsane, you’ll probably regret it.]

That was also the day she heard the words that the woman passed on, wondering what she had to do with him.

But now, the existence she said was no longer in this world.

She said that the existence that had given him these words had already disappeared from this world.

Because of his own choice, he has turned into a single weapon without his own will.

Duke of Skyroad.

The Duchess of Skyroad.

Judith Skyroad.

Reina Skyroad.

Yuria Arsane.

Remembering the five things he had to protect the most, Theodore then thought of the Dukes of Skyroad and the Dukes of Arsane, and vowed to never let the Helminto harm any of them.
