670 Episode 670: Three Shackles, Irreversible Compensation.txt




 --I'll be able to remove the fetters, and I won't be able to return.

 The choice of words is a great source of anxiety, but I'm strangely calm.

 I'm not sure what to expect, but it's because I have a hunch that I'm going to be able to find out.

 If there's anything unexpected, it's the extent to which Alfazul has begun to call himself a suppressor.

'When you say you can't go back, does that mean you're going to take over and lose your ego? Then it won't be any different than it was before.
...... That would have been nice, though.

 Alphasul gave me a meaningful response and I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.

 I don't expect to get a detailed and thorough explanation from one to ten.

 But I can't help but feel uncomfortable with being blatantly inadequate in my explanation.

"I'm sure they're not going to say something like 'information must be given in order' again, are they?
Even I wouldn't do that much injustice. It's just that I don't know all the details.
Huh. ......?

 It doesn't make any more sense.

 If that was the case, then what did he just say?

 Before he could actually say that, Alfazul began to narrate a more detailed explanation.

'Each time you remove one of the fetters, you get the power you need from the bottom of your heart at that point in time, and the price you pay is the transformation of your body. When the first fetters were removed, the price was the irreparable loss of the right eye - this body is a replica of that stage.

 Alfazul brushed back his white discolored right side bangs, revealing his right eye socket, broken like shattered glasswork, and the blue fiery magic that flooded out of it.

'I'm the only one with a sample (sample). The content of the price is not fixed. I'm not sure what is waiting for me when I remove the shackles.
"So I don't know the details," he said, "so I don't know what to do." ...... Utterly and utterly forcing a nasty one on me.
But it was necessary, wasn't it?
Well, ...... that's true.

 It's a vulnerable thing when it's hit there.

 Although it is an unmanageable substitute, it is a fact that it has saved me many times, and if I think about the future, there is no option but to let it go.

The 'I' that was being recreated just now is the stage before I can obtain the 'Right Eye of Wisdom'. The time is not far off when the incident that led to the acquisition of the 'right eye' will occur. ...... Now, I wonder if he has any intention of reproducing it to that extent.
'......? Your right eye just now also had some unfamiliar power in it. Isn't that the 'Right Eye of Wisdom'?
It's just a kind of magic eye. It's rare, but it's still a product that remains in the realm of legitimate magic.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about the fact that it's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out if your imagination is correct or not, but Alphasul has been piling on the words one-sidedly without having the time to check with him.

'The transformation of the body could not be undone, even by myself. The soul itself was rewritten and it is recorded that this form is what it should have been from the beginning. Therefore, even your [restoration] will not be able to restore it before the transformation took place.
......[Restoration] is a skill that restores the object to the same form as it once was, based on the past memories it inhabited. Indeed, if the memory of the substance itself is overwritten, we're screwed.
This is the same for the 'right eye'. Have you ever tried to see if you can't [repair] the body you had before you got your 'right eye'?

 If you ask me, I had never tried it.

 After all, the Right Eye is an extremely useful ability, and when I thought that I would be clashing with Demon King Gandalf and Agart Ram in the future, even if I could let go of it, it was something I didn't want to let go of for the time being.

 But if Alfazul's testimony is correct, you should think that even with my [restoration], I won't be able to go back before I got the 'Right Eye of Wisdom'.

...... Oh, I see. So that's how it is.

 I understood what Alfazul was trying to say and leaned my weight vigorously against the backrest.

 Although it was a recreated fictional body, perhaps because it was smaller and lighter than usual, the recoil from the collision was also small, just like a real child.

"Each time the 'right eye' is awakened or the fetters are released, the soul is irreversibly changed. The dwarf Ivaldi said that the soul was the proof of man, the body of man. If you remove it all the way to the end, you can't just let it go...................
''The possibility is undeniable. In my case, I lost my life in the battle right after I removed the third fetters, when I came face to face with the divine beast Fenrir. What will happen to me in the end is in the dark.

 Alfazul sent a nostalgic glance somewhere in the distant past, and then turned to me again.

'Whether or not you can no longer call yourself a human being, it is certain that an irreversible transformation will occur in your soul and body. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. The remaining 70% will disappear in no time at all if you wish.
And you'll get great power in return, right?
You don't hesitate to use ...... if you need to.
I'm not surprised.

 I leaned heavily with one foot on the table, looking straight back into Alfazul's eyes.

The only time such a 'need' arises is when you are in a situation where you will die if you don't choose the means, or when Garnett is in trouble. There is no reason to hesitate. In fact, I'd like to thank you for showing me that 'I can do as much as I want'.

 I declare my true feelings from the bottom of my heart.

 Alfazul surprisingly rolled his left eye and then formed a pleasant smile on his mouth.

'...... I see. I hear you and I have different values. It's something to be envied.''

 Then, Alfazul's body shook like a mirage and began to disappear, becoming thinner and thinner.

''Well, wait! I have so many questions to ask you! Don't disappear yet!
That's it for this time. Don't worry, we'll see each other again soon.

 The stillness was empty, and Alfazul's body disappeared without a trace.

 But only the voice remained for a while, spinning words that seemed to reverberate in the void.

'If the world begins to move again, perhaps an entirely different scene will be replayed. I am sorry, but you will have to accompany my friend for a while. I am always watching. You can be sure it won't be the worst of it...
