"Then this matter ends here. I will tell my companions who are tracking the human pus with me that the human pus has been eliminated."

Then he thought of the box he was carrying:

"That's good. I can get more apples, pipe wrenches, women's clothes and other messy things every week. Everything this summer is over."

"No, the human pus has not been destroyed."

The doctor reminded.

"What? It wasn't you"

Shade was a little surprised.

"You need to understand a very scary common sense. Most of the evil spirits and demons in the third era can be killed, but they can never be eliminated. Human pus is the vicious pus that flows out of the sores generated by the negative side of human nature. As long as this

The world still has intelligent creatures and humanity, and it will never die. This time I swallowed it, it just means that the human pus of this generation has disappeared. It will reappear one day, but that will be many years later.

thing, and it needs to be redeveloped.”

This is knowledge that Shade has never understood, and even Priest Augustus has not mentioned it. Probably only doctors who have mastered the power of demons can know such secrets.

He learned his secret from the doctor, but Shade did not intend to tell the college’s understanding and worries about the doctor. The doctor may indeed lose control at any time. Shade will keep the doctor’s secret, but at the same time he also agrees with the college’s view that the doctor does.

Needs to be closely monitored.

Facing the last sunshine of late summer, both of them let out a long sigh. The matter of the second chosen one was over, but new things appeared again, and it was hard for Shade to say how he felt now.

"Actually, you don't have to be afraid of demons. Any power itself is just power. Demons, darkness and even sin, these can all be helpful when we face more powerful and difficult-to-beat opponents."

the doctor said.

Shade agreed with this view. His "Chain of Sin" was not a normal power. He even once thought that this power derived from desire flesh and blood was even weirder than the devil.

"Control the darkness and let light and shadow become a part of myself. I will walk alone in the darkness until I reach the end of this road and fall into the bottomless abyss. Because I inherited the wish, I am willing to swallow the darkness."

The doctor's voice was weak but firm. Shade could feel the doctor's strong heart and the will to bear responsibility.

Overcoming darkness does not rely on light, and the doctor fully demonstrates this. He incarnates as part of the darkness, swallowing up the huge and boundless power in the interplay of light and shadow.

However, the demon in the doctor can actually swallow human pus. Shade can't imagine how powerful the doctor is:

"The story of devouring the souls of evildoers, devouring the power of demons, and then empowering one's own doctor seems to be just the beginning."

The breeze blew against my face, and the sound of rain gradually became fainter. It seemed that in just a few minutes, the sudden light rain stopped. The dark clouds dispersed, and the late summer sunshine shone on Tobesk.

Shade gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face for some reason. Maybe it was because Darkness's matter was over, maybe it was because of the doctor's honesty.

Putting both hands on the window sill, he took a deep breath and breathed in the city air that smelled of Tobesk. The streets below were busy with traffic. Civilization was pushing forward at this moment just like it had been for a hundred years. There was light and shadow here.

"Then the matter is officially over. I've been very busy recently. But doctor, don't ask me about my relationship with the devil and why I want to track the human pus. Just take this as my reward for helping you keep the secret.

"

He suddenly said, and the blue-eyed doctor was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face:

"No problem, but be careful, Detective."

Shade nodded and looked into the distance, taking in the city's skyline.

The metal pipes on the outside of the building that have just been washed by rain reflect the sun's rays. The little figures in the windows perform the urban life of the steam age. The mist hangs over the city, and the black smoke in the distance slowly rises, eventually integrating into the world, or being absorbed by the world.

Devour.

Shade and the doctor faced the sun and turned their backs to the darkness. The light and shadow met at the window, swallowing up the people in the darkness who were watching this civilization at this moment.

The outsider was fascinated by this scene, and with the breeze and smile, "her" voice appeared in his ears:

[Sixth Era, Universal Calendar 1853, Autumn, Harvest Moon. Standing in front of the window with the demon-possessed man, when you see the world, the world also sees you. Swallow the darkness in the darkness, call out in the years

The power of involvement. You have wiped away the robe of darkness with your own hands, but allowed the darkness to be by your side. Stranger, the wind of time accompanies your breathing, and the chaste blood witnesses your growth. The curtain opens, and the story slowly unfolds. It’s just that

, you who have seen the darkness, do you really understand the original intention of the darkness? Do you, who have swallowed the darkness, know what is waiting next? 】

"Actually, you don't need to mention chastity blood."

Shade made a small complaint in his heart, shook his head and said with a smile:

"doctor."

"What's wrong?"

Doctor Schneider turned to look at him. Shade was leisurely in front of the window:

"Compared to Ivan Darkness who does anything for power, you are the real person who swallows darkness. I am very happy to have witnessed your stories and these dark stories."

"No, I hope you are the one who swallows the darkness. You must remember that when I lose control, put on that ring and kill me with your own hands. The person wearing the ring will never be possessed by the devil. Also, Yi

Who is Van Darkness?”

Shade smiled and said nothing, but reached out to unbutton the collar of his shirt, wanting to take a good breath of air. No one could disturb his good mood now.

He doesn't care about the swallowing darkness. He will devour anyone who blocks his path to the sublimation of the thirteen gods. He also doesn't care about the light and shadow, because he himself is in this place where light and shadow intersect.

After thinking about this, he thought about Luvia, Mia the cat, and everyone around him. He really felt that he should have a vacation.

The [Origin Darkness] in his pocket was emitting a faint light at this moment. In a daze, the doctor standing at the window with Shade actually saw an old dark gold robe flashing past behind the young detective.

But if you look closely, you can see that there is nothing.

"A hallucination?"

The middle-aged doctor shook his head.

A gentle voice came to Shade's ears, and he felt as if he was being hugged from behind:

【Outlander, you have gained new strength.】
