The reincarnated swordsman only wants to be a fun person

Hector didn't answer, but waved his hand. As he did so, Julius saw out of the corner of his eye that Mercolia, who had been standing behind him, walked past him with a dazed expression and came in front of Hector.

Julius's expression changed drastically: "Teacher, what do you want to do?"

Hector restrained his expression and said, "You have always trusted me and been grateful to me, right? Now I want to transform your trust and gratitude into the strongest hatred."

As he spoke, he stroked Meklia's neck and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill her easily.

A death that is too easy cannot fully arouse your hatred.

Therefore, I will make her suffer in front of you and your teammates, make her lose her dignity as a human being, and finally find relief in a life worse than death—"

……

In reality——

Mercury, Lei, and Havre looked at Julius with a dazed expression as he walked up to Hector.

After the two looked at each other briefly, Julius's expression became ferocious and his aura became violent.

They wanted to speak, but found that their bodies could not move and they could not make any sound.

Lei tried to put her consciousness into the record book: "Master Tian Yi, we have encountered a situation."

Tian Yi: "I see, it's not a big deal. That old guy isn't going to hurt you. Let me see what he can do first."

Chapter 321: Your understanding of the coexistence of good and evil is not even as good as that of an amateur like me

Only a few minutes passed in reality, but three days had passed in the illusion.

Julius watched helplessly as Mercoria, from her initial patience, collapsed into tears, her will completely shattered, and she begged incoherently for mercy.

But now, she couldn't even make a sound to beg for mercy. She could only lie on the torture chair and whimper while enduring Hector's torture.

For three whole days, without stopping for a moment,

Hector frowned slightly, and stopped the execution, looking at Julius who still hadn't completely collapsed.

This is different from what was expected. Why has this child been able to endure it until now?

Hector was silent for a moment. He took off his coat, glanced at Mercelia on the torture chair, and said to Julius, "As you can see, she has been completely tamed by me. From now on, no matter what I do to her or ask her to do, she will obey unconditionally."

After saying this, he untied Mercoria, picked her up and placed her on the altar, in front of Julius—

Julius' eyes widened, tears of blood streaming down his cheeks.

……

……

Reality--

Lei: "Master Tian Yi, Julius's condition is becoming increasingly unsettled. What did the Prophet do to him?"

Tian Yi: "First, they brutally tortured Meklia for three days right in front of him, and now they're violating her."

bud:"?"

Tian Yi: "Of course it's the imaginary Mekoliya, and the content is a bit raw. Ha, why bother a virgin with a virgin."

Lei: "What exactly does the Prophet want to do?"

Tian Yi: "To create hatred, to transform Julius's respect, gratitude, trust, and closeness towards him into pure hatred, so that Julius can directly gain the power of combining good and evil."

Lei: "Why did the Prophet do this?"

Tian Yi: “They said they were acting on orders, following the orders of the apostles, to train Julius, who was chosen by the apostles, to be a new apostle.

I guess the bond between Julius and Mercoria was also the result of their design."

Lei: "Another arranged life."

Tian Yi: "Julius should have realized from the beginning that he was in an illusion."

Lei: “Why do you say that?”

Tian Yi: "Julius should know about Mercoria's fantasy, right?"

Lei: "Yes, although he hasn't seen it, he has been watching Meklia all the time and has vaguely guessed Meklia's habit, but for the sake of his sweetheart's face, he has always pretended not to know."

Tian Yi: "That makes sense. The behavior of the 'Mekolia' in the illusion doesn't match Julius's impression of Mekolia. This is a bit troubling."

Lei: "...If you fail, will you attack the real Mercoria?"

Tian Yi: "Most likely, and you will be silenced by then."

Lei: "When is Tian Yi-sama going to make his move?"

Tian Yi: "No rush, have you noticed? Julius knows it's fake, but he still turns evil."

Lei: “Why is this happening?”

Tian Yi: "The prophet only knew that torturing Mekolia could turn Julius evil, and he also knew that Julius' trust and closeness to him would allow this 'ritual' to achieve the desired effect.

But they overlooked the fact that the harm caused to Julius by the murder of his lover and the betrayal of his family members were not much different.

Lei: "Is his current mood due to the Prophet's betrayal?"

Tian Yi: "Besides that, he probably also realized that if he didn't complete this transformation, then the real Mekolia might really be killed.

So, besides being genuinely hurt, there's also a voluntary element to this. This kid is really good, but it's a pity I don't have the right mentor-disciple relationship, otherwise I would probably want to take him in as my disciple."

Lei: "Why is there no master-disciple relationship?"

She is really talkative. Even in such a life-threatening situation, she was distracted by something that was mentioned casually.

Tian Yi: "I have taught several geniuses in the past, some of whom were no less talented than Julius.

But in the end, it didn’t turn out well.”

Lei: "What happened?"

Tian Yi: "A master is a springboard for a disciple to take off, and also a goal to catch up with and surpass. I am not suitable to be such a goal.

That’s pretty much it.”

Lei: "...Master Tian Yi, your disciple has suffered a severe blow?"

Tian Yi: "Well, there are even those who go astray and completely ruin their future."

Lei: "Tian Yi-sama can only seek students who are determined and who know you well enough."

Tian Yi: "Hmm, the prophet has also noticed that Julius has not been deceived by the illusion. It's going to be interesting next."

Lei: "Share it!"

……

……

In fantasy.

Hector, who had been acting for nearly 10 days, suddenly sighed: "Is my acting bad, or is there something wrong?"

He waved his hand and dispersed 'Mekolia' under him, leaving only him and Julius with red eyes in the field.

Julius said in a hoarse voice, "If it's really Mercoria, she probably won't collapse. Even if she does, she'll probably show some unexpected reaction before that."

"……I see."

Hector said, "It seems that women's reactions to things like this are not fixed."

I thought a little girl like her who hadn't experienced much hardship would have a fixed reaction."

He looked at Julius, observing the growing uneasiness in his eyes. "There's nothing we can do. We'll just have to make this real."

Julius: "I will destroy everything you care about."

Hector shook his head: "You can't destroy it, and you don't have the chance."

The illusion dissipated and the two returned to reality.

Hector looked at Mercelia, who now only had Julius in her eyes, filled with deep worry.

Julius noticed it as well, and he wanted to say something, but he found that after returning to reality, he had lost the ability to speak again.

Hector waved to Mercelia, who walked forward uncontrollably. She looked at Hector in panic.

Hector looked at her for a moment and asked, "Julius will die soon, but if you can sacrifice yourself, he can be saved. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself?"

Meklia's expression changed.

She was willing, but she vaguely sensed that the other party's inquiry was a trap.

As she hesitated about how to answer,

the other side--

Lei: "Master Tian Yi, are you still not going to take action?"

Tian Yi: "The show has just begun, just watch."

……

Seeing that Mercelia was silent, Hector sighed: "Then take it as your consent, now-"

Before he could finish his words, a sound of flesh being torn apart was heard.

Meklia's body was stiff. She lowered her head with difficulty, looking at the hand that was piercing through her chest and her heart that was beating slightly.

"It's too slow."

Euphida pulled her hand away, letting Mercoria collapse to the ground. She looked at Julius and Hector, who were already frozen in place. "I originally wanted to see how the Prophet would violate a little girl, but I didn't expect you to only dare to do it in the illusion. Are you so careful about your reputation?"

And you, too.”

She looked at Julius and said, "Now watch carefully. After losing his heart, a Faerûn dies bit by bit, and his body gradually becomes cold. Well, this process will probably last for several hours.

During this process, she will clearly feel death and watch her consciousness being devoured bit by bit. No one can help but feel fear at this time.

And you can only watch helplessly as she becomes weak, in pain, and terrified until she completely dies, but you are powerless to do anything."

After saying that, she squeezed the heart and burst it.

Julius stared at the scene blankly. He wanted to tell himself that this was still an illusion, but he could clearly sense that this was reality.

He wanted to ask for help and call Tian Yi, whom he had contacted at the beginning, but he found that neither rescue nor miracle appeared.

Mercury is dying.

She will die in fear and despair—

Dark flames were released from Julius' eyes and quickly spread in all directions.

Euphida chuckled, raised her hand, and pressed it towards the void. The violent black fire immediately became docile and returned to Julius' side.

Julius stared at her blankly.

Yufida shook her head. "Your anger isn't enough. It seems you still have hope. In that case—"

She flipped her hand and took out a pitch-black crystal engraved with runes: "If the death of your beloved can't drive you crazy, then how about I let her become my toy after she dies?

You've been to the Crystal City in the dream, so you should know the methods of the Listener Lavanina, right? Next, I will refine your beloved soul and corpse together into a puppet completely under my control -"

The crystal in her hand loosened and fell towards the bloody hole in Meklia's chest.

At this moment, a small hand took the lead and caught the crystal.

蕾，

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

Lei ignored the gazes of the people around her. She looked at Julius and whispered, "Are you still a little closer? That's the dividing line between sanity and madness. As long as you still have hope, this line will not be crossed.

Are you waiting for me to show up?"

Julius' eyes welled with tears: "Save us."

Lei: "Don't panic, I'll help you control this power."

As the thought was conveyed, Julius felt a sharp aura appear in his consciousness.

Before he had time to feel it, he found that the evil thoughts that had been suppressed all the time suddenly broke out, overwhelming his good thoughts and rationality.

At this moment, the fleeting sharp aura appeared again, turning into a sword hanging in the ocean of consciousness. Both "evil" and "good" seemed to have encountered their natural enemies. They were suppressed in an instant and began to move towards balance little by little.

At this moment, Julius felt an unprecedented power surging from the depths of his soul.
