The Greatest Sinner - Chapter 211

“What is this?” Evan couldn’t believe his eyes. Terrifying energy was emanating from the girl, and a shiver went through his whole body.

“Is it…is it “Gust!?” The dark energy emanating from the girl was actually a definite emotion. The girl stepped into “Gust,” and the emotion she was now experiencing became tangible. Evan was surprised at the power of this energy, but what struck him more was that the girl was not a mage.

<She definitely didn’t have an ounce of mana in her. How was it possible for her to enter “Gust”? But, it’s it, and what’s that emotion she’s feeling right now?>

A few seconds later, dark energy filled everything around her. It touched Evan, and at that moment, he realized what it was.

<That’s despair. It really is an incredibly creepy and powerful emotion. I didn’t think I’d ever see something like that. What’s more, this “Gust” is different from the ones I’ve seen before, it’s much stronger, and that’s considering she’s just a simple person. She’s not a magician, but she’s definitely unique>.

The despair could be compared to an abyss. It was just as deep and terrifying and all-consuming. Everything that despairs touches was in the deepest depths of darkness, and now the simple girl was emitting an enormous amount of that energy.

“What a terrible feeling. It’s times worse than when demons suck the life force out of me. Then I lose some of my life, but this darkness makes me think I have disappeared from this world. It’s like I never existed, and I’m nothing more than empty space.”

Mumbled Evan looking at the dark-haired girl. When Evan said that he killed everyone in the village, she blamed him at first. But then she concluded that it was all the fault of this cruel world.

When her eyes turned dark and empty, that’s when her outlook changed. As she continued to emit dark energy, the girl looked at Evan and said, “Help me.”

Evan calmly asked: “How can I help you?”

For a while, the girl froze. She pondered, and during that time, her eyes grew even darker, and the dark energy suddenly stopped emanating from her.

“Give me the power to control the destinies of others, for that I will do anything!” She concluded that if she were strong enough, the tragedy would not happen. Even if this world was extremely cruel, with enough strength, the situation could be changed. Evan was the one who had ruined her world, but he was also the one who had shown her how to confront fate itself.

Evan smiled like the devil and said, “You want power? All right, I’ll give you power!”

The next moment Evan bled himself dry and quickly drew the sigil 71st demon, Duke Dantalion.

He activated the sigil, and an old book appeared in his Nirvana. Evan said loudly his wish – “Awaken this girl’s talent for magic!”

The demon immediately quoted a price, only – three years. Evan nodded confidently, and the life force began to drain from him.

Evan decided to take such a step, not out of the goodness of his heart, he was very curious why the girl was able to enter the “Gust” even though she was not a mage. Moreover, her “Gust” was very strong, and the emotion she felt could destroy the whole world.

Originally Evan was going to kill her, as there was no way she could survive in a place full of monsters, but now his plans have changed. She would be his investment in the future.

When the price was paid, and the book disappeared from Evan’s Nirvana, strange changes began to happen to the girl.

Her aura increased again, and she began to emit dark energy, but Evan was sure she was already out of the “Gust.”

<What?! Is that a “Splash”? But isn’t it only supposed to happen when a mage breaks one of his “Barriers”? This girl is getting more interesting>.

When the dark energy stopped emanating from the girl, she muttered confusedly: “What is it?”

“What do you mean?” Evan asked, puzzled.

“I’m in some strange place, I don’t know where I am…”

<I see, she walked into “Nirvana,” by the way…>.

“Tell me, do you see a hovering sphere in the midst of this space?” Evan asked calmly.

The girl just nodded.

“Okay, then tell me what color it is? It could be purple and white.” Evan was curious to know what color “Warp” the girl got.

But, the girl’s answer shocked him.

“But, it’s neither white nor purple, it’s crimson…” The girl muttered uncertainly. She thought it was bad that the color of her orb wasn’t white or purple.

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.” Evan suddenly laughed. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

<Unbelievably, she has a crimson “Warp” too, but I still don’t understand something. If I use the power of a demon to awaken a talent for magic in someone else, is it a hundred percent crimson “Warp,” or is that just a coincidence? I still don’t know anything about this mysterious color above purple>.

The girl didn’t understand what had cheered Evan up so much.

“Is it bad or good that this orb has that color?” The girl asked, puzzled.

Evan quickly replied, “It’s excellent, by the way, what’s your name?”

“Malespera.” Calmly replied the girl.

<Malespera means it really does seem to be destiny, that she is the one with the power of despair.> Thought Evan upon hearing the girl’s name.

“Congratulations Malespera, you became a magician.”

Evan expected to see joy and elation on the girl’s face, but instead, the girl asked: “A magician? What’s that?”

“Yeah, that’s a serious case I’ve never encountered before,” Evan said slowly. This was something he couldn’t have expected.

<Well, on the other hand, this village is isolated from the outside world. But, it’s still kind of strange, didn’t any of the inhabitants know about the existence of mages?

“Malespera, tell me, where are your parents?”

The girl’s face darkened for a moment, it was obvious she was having trouble talking about it: “They died… because of an illness…”.

“I see, I can’t think of a worse situation, okay, let’s go,” Evan said calmly and headed for the exit of Blood Falls Hills. He didn’t have anything else to do in this place.

“Let’s go…?” Malespera asked, puzzled, but Evan didn’t even turn around. He just kept walking on.

Realizing that Evan was about to leave, the girl quickly got up and ran after him. He was the only thread she could hold on to, even if that thread was dark and dangerous.

“What’s your name?” Asked the girl as she caught up with Evan.

The young man said his name, “Evan.”

“Evan, who are mages, and why am I a mage now?” Asked Malespera was walking in the pouring rain next to Evan.

“Mages are those who can change their own destiny and the destiny of others. You ask me why you became a mage, and I’ll tell you – because I wanted to. That is the power to change destiny.” Evan said slowly.

“Evan, when you fought that monster…did you use magic?”

“Yes and no, I didn’t kill it with magic. Then I used something else. Malespera want to learn magic?”

Asked Evan, watching as the clouds parted and the earth was again illuminated by warm and pleasant sunshine.

The girl nodded confidently.

“Good, then take this.” Said Evan, and his spatial ring glowed. He handed Malespera the black-covered book. It was the most sophisticated level zero spell he had found in the academy library.
