Chapter 108
Karma
The strike had ended, and the dispute was resolved.
The incidents that occurred in Hestia Village were, for the time being, settled.
Of course, they might be resolved for the people of Hestia Village, but for Ferda, many more problems remained.
'The Demons' Resurrection.'
In the end, Escolleia's Chancellor, Bernard Wayne's prediction had been correct.
Е̂ nůma
After all, it was confirmed that one of those once called the Seven Scars, Gokma, was alive.
'Moreover, he's strong.'

The visible magnitude of his magical power wasn't that great, but his depth was different.
The ability to create a subspace with a single stroke of his finger.
The power to distort and destroy a designated location with a single finger snap.
All of it surpassed Ferda's abilities.

'If I face him again, would I be able to fight and win against that guy?'
The hand Ferda held.
And the data obtained from observing Gokma.
He simulated battles hundreds of times in his head using those.

'Is the win rate in the decimal points?'
Even that victory prediction was made on the assumption that an unexpected miracle would arrive.
W̊ е b̂ n̊ о́v̄ӗ l Ёn̊ùm̀ а
Moreover, the virtually simulated Gokma was measured only with the currently grasped level of power.
If they seriously clash and he pulls out his hidden cards, there is no means for Ferda to respond.
No matter how he did it, it meant Ferda's probability of winning converged to 0%.
'I must become stronger.'
He needed the power to reach a higher realm and suppress him.
'But is that possible right now?'

A territory had been created, and he had to coordinate everything under the Gongwangnyeong.
If work got busy, it would get even busier, and the more so, the more he would neglect his training as a mage and his duties.
'Perhaps it's precisely at times like this that I need to train even more?'
But if that worked as easily as he thought, how comfortable would that be?
The Red Circle fundamentally moves following emotional upheaval.
Affection and hatred are a paper-thin difference.
W̌е̊b̆ n̄о̇v́е́l Е̌ n u ḿ_а
It's not for nothing that the word love-hate exists.
If he falls into a twisted heart, it will lead to the path of hatred Ferda knows, and only through vigilance and perseverance will proper growth be achieved.

'But, just how strong can I become doing that?'
There may be a beacon, but it was ridiculously insufficient to illuminate all the fog.
He didn't know what lay on the path Ferda walked.
'Wouldn't it be better if I could... use that power again?'
Е̊ñ ü m̈а. і̀d̄
The Red Circle that rotates with anger.
That was a path Ferda knew, and he knew how to walk it.
Against someone like Gokma, Ferda might be able to easily subdue him.
There's a possibility.

Then, as if waking from a dream, he shook off the thought.
'......To think I'd seriously agonize over such a stupid thought.'
E n̆ um̂ а . і̊.d̄
That power must not be created in any way.
Wasn't it the emotion that ultimately killed Valdrova?
He must not think he can control it.
Ferda had been trapped in that delusion for 10 years.
Ferda moved on to the next thought as if fleeing.
'Then, means....'
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
A staff imbued with mana or a scroll with a magic circle inscribed.
Or byproducts created through magical engineering could also become his means.
'What I used in the past was.......'
It was the staff called the 'Sixth Element.'
The ultimate armament obtained after a week-long battle in the Immortal King's Tomb.
'That's not something that can be used.'
Ě nü ḿ а
It's a relic of the Immortal King, who was the continent's public enemy in the era before the Dragon-Demon War.
Back then, Ferda was alone anyway, no different from a heinous criminal, so whether he used it or not wasn't a problem.

It didn't matter if his standing fell, but it was an act that would endanger Valdrova.
'Still, there is an item comparable to it.'
A branch struck by the Reverse Lightning.
An item given as a reward for his meritorious deeds during the monster incident in Halim.
Ѐ n̄u m̀ а̂.і́ d̃
He hadn't shown it to anyone in particular; it was just something he'd set aside briefly.
If he made a staff with this, he would be able to wield powerful pure power, the Reverse Lightning.
'But it's not easy to make either.'
It's only natural that the higher the power and efficiency of the magic, the higher the difficulty.

It might have been different 100 years ago, but in Ferda's generation, there was no enchanter or blacksmith outstanding enough to withstand the Reverse Lightning.
The Southwest Dwarf Village wouldn't handle a witch's items either, and if he asked an elf, they'd show hostility as if asking if he was mocking them.
E n ú m а̄
'I have no choice but to persuade the dwarves.'
He had the thought that if he kept persuading them, they'd make it somehow.
While he was thinking that, a guest arrived.
Knock.
Knock.
A knocking sound with long intervals.

Along with a sound that sounded lacking in confidence just from hearing it, the door opened cautiously.
"Ferda-ssi? Are you busy?"
A terrifying dragon's head appeared.
It was Valdrova.
"No. It's fine. Do you need mana?"
"Yes, today too, a bit......."
Е n_ũ mӓ .і̌_d
"Understood."
No deep conversation was needed, as familiar as they'd become.

She wore Dragoon armor exceeding 2 meters.
The only place exposing skin was her right hand.
Ferda held out his hand to hers and injected his mana.
'Warm, as expected.'
Ѐňŭ m̌ӑ
The mana seeping into his chest calmed his anxious heart.
He'd felt it many times, but it made him comfortable enough to want to feel it many more times.
Perhaps that's why he even momentarily forgot the reason he'd come here.
'That's not why I came!'
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
The reason she'd come all the way here to take Ferda's time was because Valdrova had made a big resolution.
'I want to decide today's conversation topic.'
W̃ е̄b̊ n̂ о̀ v̊ е l Е̄n̆ūmа
Wasn't that why she was continuing to do this?
Coincidentally, there was something he was curious about too.
'What does Ferda-ssi think about the Armor Knight?'
His heart pounded for some reason.
Come to think of it, it wasn't different from the question of how he thought of her.
'Let's ask.'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Valdrova desperately suppressed her pounding heart and opened her mouth with difficulty.
"Fe, Ferda-ssi!"
"Yes."
"Tha...... recently Ruri said thaaaat......."
Her pronunciation leaked out in fits and starts.
Due to the voice modulator, it rang out to Ferda like a mournful echo.
È nũ m á
Ferda received it calmly.
"Which matter are you referring to?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"So...... th, the person called the A, Armor Knight supposedly did amaaazing! Ac, active......!"
She even bit her tongue, and the tension completely died.
"I, I heaaard......."
"Ah, you mean that person."
Е́ň_u m̄ ӓ .ї d̂
Ferda looked surprised.
He didn't know why she was suddenly curious about that.
Valdrova desperately suppressed the truth trying to come out of her mouth.
"She said he's a person who treasures the village immensely......."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"That's true."
It was true.
W̆ ėb́ ń оv̆e l̊ Е̇ n̂um̃ а
Hearing those words, his anxious heart surprisingly soared.
"Really?"
"When we weren't receiving Halim's support initially, his strength played a big role. Thanks to him, we were able to erect many buildings even faster."
"I, is that so?"
He thinks I was helpful.
A groundless sense of pride welled up.

"At first, I was anxious thinking he might be a treasonous element with a rebellious nature......."
"But?"
"It was my delusion."
A voice that gained a handful of hope.
"Does that mean he's a good person?"
"He is a good person."
Е n̂ ù ḿ а̊
Valdrova felt like she wanted to spread her wings and fly flap-flap right then.
"But he has a lot of problems in various ways."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"......Huh?"
That feeling was momentary.
It was time to fall from the height she'd risen.
"He seems quite foolish as a person."
W е̂ b̀ n òv еl Ё nũmа̌
"Fo, foolish?"
"Even when participating in this council, it shows he gets swayed by people, so he doesn't seem smart."
"Tha, that's......"
"Wearing knight armor and keeping the Vow of Silence, writing help would be more important than anyone, but his handwriting is a mess and he can't even keep one spelling rule......."

"......."
"A guy like that is bound to have his life twisted if he meets the wrong person. I was a bit worried."
Е n û m а . і̊d
"......."
Ferda glanced at her hand.
"Are you alright?"
"......Ye, yes?"
"Your hand is bright red."
The hand that had been like white jade had turned red like a persimmon at some point.

Valdrova checked that too and hurriedly pulled her hand back.
"It's, it's nothing......."
"It seems like a rejection reaction, I should examine it more closely—."
"It, it's really! Nothing much so don't worry about it!"
Valdrova sprang up from her seat.
Ferda was startled by her sudden action.
Еn̈u̇m а
"I'll be going early today."
"Is it enough? It seems less than usual."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Yes, I think I need a little...... strength too."
Saying that, she slipped out as if fleeing.
Ferda, watching her leave, realized he'd made a mistake.
'As expected, badmouthing others isn't a good choice.'
Еnuḿ a
He thought he'd purified it somewhat, but it seems it was a miscalculation.
He'd gone to the trouble of bringing up a conversation topic and talking, only to make it uncomfortable.
'Next time I should hold back.'
Ferda made that resolution and decided to wait for next time.

Valdrova returned to the Lair immediately.
Е̃ńŭm̌ а́ ..і̊d̀
She came out of her armor and just lay down on the spot.
Unlike usual, she hugged her knees.
"Uu......."
Valdrova letting out a small groan.
Her body trembled slightly.
"Master, it's Ruri. I'm coming in."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Ruri entered inside.
> Valdrova, who had become a human cocoon, came into view.
"......Why are you like that?'"
"Ruri......."
Valdrova called her name and lifted her head.
Her face was flushed bright red, as red as her hair color.
Ё ñ um̊à ._ĩd̃
"......."
Ruri knew why she was like this.

Because she'd already heard what they talked about.
Valdrova, tears welling up, burying her face in the small attendant's chest.
"Please speak."
"Ferda-ssi...... Ferda-ssi called me a fool......."
Еnum а̇ .і̊ d̈
"......."
"Can't even you deny it?"
She looked up with tearful eyes, but Ruri didn't budge.
"That's why I told you to study a bit usually, didn't I?"

"I did...... I did do it buuut......."
"Besides, it's something you hear a lot, is it something to react that much to?"
W̆ ë.b n ov e̊ l Е́ñ ǔ ṁ а̊
"Of course Iorga said so too, and others did too......."
Valdrova hugged her knees tight and whimpered in a sad voice.
"But Ferda-ssi said it, so it's sadder."
"Isn't that not directly to you, Master?"
"That's why it's more miserable! Usually you speak gently, but inside you must think I'm a huge idiot, right?"
"......."

"Deny it a little. I'm really going to cry."
Valdrova becoming even more miserable at Ruri's reaction.
"There's no need to worry. If Master puts in effort, he'll surely recognize that side too."
"Really?"
"So......."
Ruri held out two books to her.

"You have to do it, right?"
Valdrova looked at Ruri and the two books alternately and opened her mouth with difficulty.
"......Yeah."
There's no age for learning.

That night, Ferda had a dream.
Valdrova was there.
It wasn't the castle.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
A small house.
A commoner-like house where Ferda stayed after being kicked out of the castle and losing all his money.
Е_nu ṁӓ . і d
'A dream.'
Since it wasn't a particularly harmful dream, he thought he'd just sit there and wake up.
"Are you awake?"
A beautiful voice tickled his ear.
Ferda had heard this voice exactly once before.
Just in case, he raised his head.

Red long hair, golden eyes.
No two pairs of horns or vertically slit pupils, wearing plain clothes, but Ferda knew who she was.
'No mistake.'
It was Valdrova.
"Why? Your complexion doesn't look good."
Her hand softly caressed Ferda's cheek.
Е̂ n um а
A coziness like coming home wrapped around his whole body.
Seeing Ferda's face become more at ease, Valdrova smiled bashfully.

Holding her hand, the sensation of that hand was vividly real.
He even thought it wouldn't be bad to be trapped in this dream like this.
"Shall we do that?"
"That...... you mean?"
W̌еb n̈ оve̊ l̂ Е nu m.a
When Ferda reacted as if he didn't know, Valdrova smiled with her eyes as if cute.
Valdrova leaned her body closer.
"It's what you're good at."
Her soft hand clasped Ferda's hand.

Ferda's hand couldn't resist and was dragged along.
The place she led him to was the neck.
Еñ u m̃ ã. і d̄
Ferda was strangling her neck.
"Now, kill me."
Ferda was startled and tried to let go.
But it wouldn't move.
Her hand was firmly fixed, and the more he struggled, the tighter it constricted.
Blood flows from her golden eyes.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Valdrova's form melts and distorts.
-Why?
A scream erupted from her mouth.
-Why did you kill me?
Countless voices swim in Ferda's head.
It is karma.
Е̌ n ŭm ӑ_. і d
It is the karma for the deeds he committed.
That karma is something that cannot be avoided even if he returned to the past.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
They say that karma returns and strangles one's own neck.
But Ferda's karma was strangling the neck in reverse.
The neck of the person he should love most.
Karma knew that was the most painful thing for Ferda.

-Why? Why? Why?
-I didn't do anything.......
-Give me back my father!
The chaotic voices grow louder.

Strength enters the slender neck.
At the end of chaos,

A terrible silence arrived.
Did he wake from the dream?
No.
The slender sensation is still vivid in his hand.
Ferda.
What is heard within is a voice.

Now, listen to my voice again.
That voice was unbearably sweet.
Remember who you are.
Aah.
I am.......
Crunch—.

With the sound of something snapping and breaking, he opened his eyes.

Cold sweat flowed down, his whole body unpleasant.
But even more unpleasant than that,
'The circuit.......'
The Red Circle was rotating violently.
Е.n̆ uḿ а
Again.
Even though it wasn't feelings toward Valdrova, the circuit in his chest was spinning violently.
Ferda forced his body up.
He empties his head.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
So that nothing remains, completely empty,
Soon Ferda's circle quietly settled down.
W̄.е̇ b̀n̄о̄ v̆ eľ Е́ n um̀ ä
It was simpler than he'd worried.
But even that simplicity wasn't welcome to Ferda.
Because it meant he already knew.
'Why.......'
It headed toward the name of déjà vu.
That déjà vu was something that shouldn't exist for Ferda.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'Why does hatred remain in me?'
Because it was what made Ferda the 9th Circle Calamity.
* * *
Ferda's head became complicated.
It wasn't a problem about mana fatalism or such nonsense.
This was something actually felt, actually rotating.
Ẽ n uma
Ferda had also vaguely felt it would be there.
'As expected...... that time, was that not my delusion?'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Abel Silverwind.
A third-rate villain not worth remembering the name of, who threatened Ruri.
At that time, Ferda made everything in the darkness his own.
And so he entered Abel's body and killed him on the spot.
Е ń umа̄. іd
That was something a 4th Circle couldn't achieve, and even Ferda couldn't do it.
Ferda recalled the sensation from that time.
As if slowly turning back time, he goes back to before that death.
-Just going to watch?

'Voice.'
It was a sweet voice.
Е.ń û m̀а̊
It stirred what was in his body and drew out power.
His own power, captured by anger.
'Even though I turned back time, that still remains?'
Killed his family,
Killed innocent people,
And even killed the person he loves now,
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
That power is inside Ferda.
It was confusing.
It was a different dimension from simply being bound by mana fatalism.
Back then it was vague anxiety, but this time it was a fact with grounds.
Knock knock knock.
The sound of knocking on the bedroom door.

Ruri entered.
"Ferda-nim."

"A guest has arrived."
"I have no intention of receiving guests today. Send them away."

"They say they're someone Ferda-nim knows, so I came to ask."
"Someone I know?"
Who would come all the way here to meet me?
Amidst numerous names swirling in his head like a whirlwind, the name that came out of Ruri's mouth was an unexpected person.

"Your father, Ferda-nim, Eremvalt Rosnova."
The starting point of his hatred.
