The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

{What was missing}

“Arriving here must mean that you already value Yuria Arsane.”

A man who looked just like Theodore said.

Yuria knew that Theodore had only recently come to love her.

But the man was talking about 15 years ago as if he already knew that Theodore would fall in love with him.

‘Are you a true prophet? But what about that look that looks just like Theo?’

The twin William Artin also had a face almost identical to Theodore’s, but there were still quite a few differences if you looked closely.

But the man’s features were identical to Theodore’s, to the extent that there was no difference between them.

“As already known to the world as the prophecy of Serapia, this world is moving towards its end. You will be able to sense the threat of the end yourself, and you will deal with it on your own, so there is no need to talk about it, so go straight to the main topic. Egg plant.”

And Theodore was also listening carefully to the man.

“Yuria Arsane and Lilia Arsane are beings who were born with the blessings of this world. Unimaginable dangers will come to them in the future.”

Theodore murmured at the man’s words.

“Is it a blessing…”

He seemed to notice something about her, but Yuria couldn’t understand what kind of world she and Lillia were blessed with.

She didn’t have overwhelming talent like Theodore, nor did she have the special power to save the world.

She just seems to have improved her senses, but this was the first time she felt it, so it was difficult to describe it.

She wasn’t even sure if she had this power permanently.

“And as you’ll already know when you’re listening to me now, Judy is a saint who will succeed Serapia here. Even if she doesn’t have the power of prophecy like Serapia here, be careful that she’ll be targeted and dangerous just because she’s a saint.”

The man’s words seemed to YuRia to be omitting important information.

But Theodore seemed to understand what he meant.

“Did that really happen? The story continues.”

At the same time as Theodore said he understood, the man coincidentally continued.

“If you are, you’ll understand everything I’m saying, but I’ll say it again just in case. If an enemy bigger than the Helmintos of the higher ranks appears now, that person will target Yuria Arsane first, and then I will aim for Lilia Arsane and Judith Skyroad.”

And after this scene, the surroundings changed for a while.

“Theo, is this by any chance?”

And while looking at the people in this place, Yuria could see the young Theodore, who looked like she was 10 years old.

“Yes, this one is my memory. I put it together because only I can understand it by looking at that memory.”

Theodore said it was nothing, but Yuria sensed that young Theodore’s appearance was very different from now.

As for his appearance, he was as young as Theodore of the past, but in contrast to his confident self now, he had a dark side.

The resentment toward the world itself could be felt in his eyes, and it was hard to believe that he was the same person as Theodore now.

‘The Duke and Duchess of Artin… ‘

YuRia, who saw the consequences of their couple’s sins, thought that she was fortunate when she saw Theodore now.

He was able to overcome the pain of that time.

And the reason he was able to overcome the pain was probably because he had a new family, the Duke of Skyroad.

“The energy of Helminto…”

Theodore of childhood muttered like that… At this time, he, who had the name Theodore, moved quickly as if he sensed something.

“Kuh! Stop it!”

“Protect the Duke!”

I heard the sound of a fierce battle.

I saw knights fighting against strange monsters.

‘That Knights?!’

When Yuria saw the sentences engraved on the armor of the fighting knights, she immediately recognized their identities.

They were the knights of the Duke of Skyroad!

In addition, looking at the fact that he said to protect the Duke just now, it seems that the Duke of Skyroad was here.

And it wasn’t difficult for Yuria to find him actually clenching his teeth from behind.

“Keugh!”

The knights of the Duke of Skyroad were holding swords and desperately cutting down hideous monsters.

But the fight never got the upper hand for them.

“Kieack!”

Theodore clicked his tongue as he looked at the monsters, which were shaped like insects.

“It’s quite noisy to mobilize mutants.”

A scene of knights counterattacking while blocking an attack from a monster whose arms have turned into blades.

And the gray-haired, dark-eyed handsome man watching all of this watched the scene with a smirk.

Looking at him, Yuria realized that he was the one responsible for the monsters.

‘He’s controlling those monsters!’

When Yuria saw him, she felt the urge to cut him down.

She knew that this was just a memory of her past, but her anger surged when she saw them attacking the Duke of Skyroad.

“Whoops, Duke of Skyroad. Please stop dying now.”

The gray-haired man smiled leisurely at the sight of the Duke of Skyroad slowly being cornered.

At that time, Yuria realized that Theodore was suddenly running towards him, and that he had intervened in the fight.

“Kuuk!”

The gray-haired man vomited blood.

Invisible energy penetrated his body and pierced a large hole in his body.

“You die quietly.”

Theodore spoke coldly and tried to attack the bleeding gray-haired man to finish him off.

It was a long plucked ki made in the shape of a sword and wielded.

He seemed to be intending to dismember this man with this.

With the wounds piercing his body, he seemed unable to escape this attack.

But soon the gray-haired man turned into a hideous monster with sharp insect legs all over his body, and grabbed Theodore’s body with his body.

“As expected, that guy was a monster too!”

Theodore said with interest to the gray-haired man who had transformed into a grotesque monster.

“Are you doing well like that?”

“Whoa, whoa, this is just me in the process of evolving. Adversary.”

“Don’t talk while holding your form. He’s going to die anyway…”

“Yes, I’m going to die. But that Creed is an alter ego. As long as my body is there, other me’s will appear, so I can die in peace.”

Theodore quickly moved his hand in various directions as if he had grasped what the monster called Creed was trying to say.

And when something was done, Creed, surrounded by the curtain, ascended high into the sky.

Kwaguagua-!!!

Then a loud explosion was heard.

He committed suicide by sacrificing his life in the air.

“Kieh?!”

The monsters who were fighting the Duke of Skylord looked flustered, perhaps because the chain of command was gone, but their panic didn’t last long either.

After Theodore used the power of slowing time down to 1/1000, he moved quickly and cut down all the monsters.

“No, my God.”

“These monsters in an instant!”

Theodore tried to turn around as if he had no interest in the reaction of the surprised Skylord knights.

“Duke, it’s still dangerous!”

“Stop it! You can’t even say thank you to the person who saved you!”

At that time, the Duke of Skyroad was seen approaching Theodore, resisting the knights’ dissuade.

When he was about to die at the hands of unimaginable monsters, he was saved by an unknown boy, and he thanked the boy.

“Thank you very much.”

“Yes, I’m glad you didn’t die, too.”

“Yes, thanks to you. Thank you very much.”

The Duke of Skylord once again thanked Theodore and smiled softly.

“What’s your name?”

Theodore asked back with a crooked answer.

“You know what?”

“I want to thank you for saving your life. Could you tell me where you are?”

“No.”

“Hmm?”

“There is no such thing.”

Theodore said with empty eyes.

He couldn’t find the reason for his existence, and asked with a surprised expression whether the Duke of Skylord had noticed him as he was stained with despair, sadness, resentment, and hatred.

“So you’re living alone?”

“Yes. He’s wandering around.”

At Theodore’s answer, Theodore said with a wry smile.

“From now on, pay close attention. YuRia, there will be a really important scene from now on.”
