The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 102: Dak: "Barbatos... I'll make you a Jie faction!"

Time flies.

Slowly getting up from his bed, Dak rubbed his eyes and then stretched.

Although he had slept a full night, he was still very irritable.

As for the reason, maybe it’s because the inspiration is too high?

When I contacted the doll in my dream late at night, the rustling sounds and the wailing of the little girl echoed in my mind.

“It hurts…

No...Grandpa...

...Dad...Sakura is in pain...

Woo woo woo...

...Don't abandon Sakura...Mom...

what…

...Sister...Sakura hurts
pain…

...Dad, Mom, Sister...

Sakura misses you...

…elder brother…

... "

It seems that due to the synchronization of inspiration, I felt a sticky touch crawling all over my body in the dream, and it should also be very painful?
It wasn’t clear what Dake was feeling.

The reason why I say should is that even though the curse of the doll hanging on Dark's body caused paralysis and greatly reduced the pain, he still had the illusion that he was being cut into pieces like the last time he fought Sukuna - Dark could be so calm and confident, he definitely didn't lose all his strength.

As if he was half awake, just like in a lucid dream, Dark found that he couldn't move his body. He realized that he was in the Matou family, but he didn't feel panicked.

Matou Zouken might not be as strong as he was when he was young, but he is definitely very tough. The Matou family's residence can be considered an iron wall by the standards of modern magicians.

If there really is an enemy that Matou Zouken can't deal with, it would be useless for Dark to get over there in his current state.

If there was no enemy coming, but "Grandpa" was planning to attack him, it would be hard to say who would bully whom after Dak exposed his trump card.

He saw this very clearly.

Coming back to his senses from his thoughts, Dak began to look at the dream in front of him.

For some unknown reason, everything around me seemed unclear.

It looks like everything and nothing at the same time.

Everything I saw seemed to be wriggling.

"I want to save her..."

Suddenly, an inexplicable voice sounded, and Dark was stunned by it, because it was exactly his voice - Shinji Matou.

"Who!" The surrounding scene gradually became clear, and so did the voice.

The new one that appeared was... another "Shinji".

This "Shinji" who suddenly appeared just stood there.

Could it be the obsession of his predecessor? Dark was somewhat puzzled. After all, little Shinji was indeed a good boy with a sense of justice.

"People (Sakura) cannot, or at least should not, be subjected to such insults.

He (Matou Zouken) is no longer worthy of being favored by our Lord.

Abolish all evil - destroy the karma of mankind.

Even once noble souls are still corrupted by time.

The initial ambition and resolute perseverance were ultimately no match for the pain and fear of the body's decay.

Now it is just a handful of discarded residue surviving in the world.

I don’t mean to force you, but I hope you can save her, save her.” Another “Shinji” spoke alone, his words full of passionate emotions, obviously from the heart.

After taking a closer look, Dak discovered the difference between it and himself.

The eyes of this new "Shinji" are blood red and have cross-shaped pupils.

Demonic Pillar?
Duck was puzzled.

The only person who fits the image and could possibly appear here seems to be the source of the Matou family lineage - the Demon Pillar Barbatos.

This may not be very vivid, and I don't know whether there will be a Demon King who burns human principles and creates the Demon Pillar in this world view where the True Ancestors and Heroic Spirits are mixed together.

If Solomon had not made a vow to give up his powers and become human, would Goetia's plan have succeeded?
After all, the Temple of Time is Solomon's body.

"I don't have the ability to do this. Although I don't want to admit it, I'm just an ordinary person. It's impossible and I don't have the ability to stop Zou Yan." Dark said nonsense.

He would never use his trump card for a little girl, causing immeasurable impact on subsequent actions... He would never do such a thing.

“Because the conditions do not allow it, I cannot fully appear here.

But I can use your spiritual resonance to give your body new magic circuits, which requires a process.

The pain that comes with it is equivalent to Sakura, which you need to endure on your own.

After that, I can use your body to use my power." The being who should be Barbatos said slowly.

Dak actually wanted to refuse, but when he thought about it carefully, this didn't seem to be in line with his previous personality.

According to Shinji's original personality, he would not refuse. When he was a child, Shinji was also a righteous partner.

As for what the other self in front of him said, he didn't believe a word of it.

It would be better to say that those who believe in the nonsense of someone who has no basis in reality are the real fools.

"Can you tell me who you are?" Dak asked.

Judging from his mental state, this was definitely not just a dream, it was definitely an unknown existence influencing him, so he still needed to seek more information. "My name is Barbatos.

One of the seventy-two demon gods controlled by the Magic King Solomon.

吾…

It is the family of Matou.

It is the original command passed down from generation to generation in the Matou family.

It is a necessary teaching rule passed down in the bloodline.

It is a curse embedded in our genes.

It's him (Matou Zouken) and you (Matou Shinji). "

The facial features of Shinji began to dissolve gradually, and his body also began to dissolve gradually, and finally turned into a white columnar creature with red eyeballs and waving tentacles.

All the eyes in front were staring at Dak, as if to put him under endless pressure.

“Observe the past and the future.

Why are we humans?

Ugly. Ugly. Ugly…

What is the history of mankind?
Filth. Filth. Filth…

Desire weaves a tangled history of bad wars.

Old filth disappears and new filth arises.

Such a life can only be described as a mistake.

Such a life is wrong.

I have always been convinced of this.

but……

Why! Why! Why! …

Why did you give up yourself to summon me?"

Barbatos seemed to be extremely excited. The tentacles spreading from the upper and lower parts of its columnar body were whipping the surrounding objects wantonly, and the eyeballs all over its body were rolling around.

This sight activated some of the memories in Dark's body.

At this time, Dak found the information buried in the corner of his memory.

This was also what he had been wondering about before.

At that time, he was wondering why he woke up from that simple and flawed magic circle.

The information that Dark learned from his memory was that "Matou Shinji" secretly witnessed Sakura's first insect fall.

Unlike Sakura, who later suffered torture in the insect room but remained calm and endured it silently, at the beginning she was in so much pain that she couldn't even cry.

This is probably the difference between Shinji in this world and Shinji in other worlds.

Everything that he saw before him told Shinji the cruel truth about the Matou family's magic, rather than the simple principles in the books.

There is a huge gap between theory and practice.

This is really too cruel for an innocent child.

Deny it all.

Refuse to acknowledge it all.

This is not what kind-hearted Shinji wants.

He wanted to save her.

He frantically searched the library for all kinds of useful knowledge, racking his brains to find a way to save Sakura, or in other words, a way to change the cruel magic of the Matou family.

Until finally there was a result - the truly genius Erye was unstoppable, but unfortunately... he still failed.

No matter what kind of existence Matou Shinji will become in the future, he still had kindness towards Sakura when he was a child.

The result of all these actions was originally thought to be a failure, but with the intervention of Barbatos, a new situation arose - Dak's visit.

“I would rather sacrifice myself than allow myself to appear here. As a child, it is difficult for me to understand why I would do such a thing.

I can’t understand. I can’t understand. I can’t understand…

Our great work...

negative. negative. negative…"

Maybe it's because they are ignorant and fearless children that they do this!

The purest goodwill does not involve any interests or psychological considerations.

Show up! Show up!
I am only here to fulfill our agreement."

Rumble…

Even though it was a dream, it felt as if the earth was shaking.

Barbatos' body began to grow larger and spread out.

“From this moment on.

Your (Matou Shinji) fate will be linked with her (Matou Sakura) until the promised time."

Barbatos decreed that bondage is also a blessing, which has a wonderful power.
