Demon King Priest

Chapter 161: The lock of memory

Views:

"See you soon..." A lock that has begun to crack will not remain there forever. Probably, it won't be too long before he wakes up from the dream of "Yosis".

Forget everything, forget everything about being the Demon King, and simply live. This was his wish in that almost certain death battle. I don’t know what kind of power it was, but his wish came true. Named "Yusis", he lives a simple and happy life just like a child.

The power of his last wish was more powerful than he imagined. He almost blocked all his memories of the past, just like when he lost Yulia. So even he himself cannot easily unlock this lock.

It would be nice to take a break if possible.

Until, he himself wakes up from this dream.

The pain, despair, and sadness were overwhelming, completely crushing him who was already scarred.

"Don't go!" Helen, who felt the scent of Ulysses more clearly than before, began to shed big tears from the corners of her eyes. Now, she could feel the same scent of her father as before. However, what made her at a loss was that that aura was quickly disappearing.

"Woo... Dad..." For Helen, she would rather not have this power, but also hope that her familiar father will always be by her side. After all, she likes her current father more than the father who can't remember his own things.

God seemed to hear his voice. Everything starts again. This time, he was happy. He had a mother who cared for him wholeheartedly, a teacher who taught him enthusiastically, and nothing unpleasant happened. Everything is as happy and simple as a dream in a fairy tale.

"You are so beautiful, Helen." Looking at Helen, who was more beautiful than ever, Ulysses praised her heartily.

"Don't worry, I'm just taking a short nap." Ulysses blinked and stroked Helen's hair with a smile.

The image of a girl crying in front of him, carrying a huge sword of destruction on his back, appeared in Ulysses' mind. That was his bridge to the past, a girl who was irreplaceable and precious to him.

No matter what, he wouldn't watch this child suffer like that. Therefore, he could just carry things like guilt and pain by himself. This child should live a happier and happier life.

"Ah..." The headache started again. He is now in a very mentally unstable state. Even if he can temporarily recall everything from the past, this does not mean that he has fully recovered. Although he was much better than when he met Anne that time, he was still far from being able to fully recover.

"Rasha!" Ulysses whispered the name of the girl who had killed him once, making him forget the past. He didn't resent her, not even to the end. No matter how many times he is asked to choose, he will definitely make the same choice. To him, she was an extremely dazzling girl, as dazzling as the sun in the sky.

However, one day, he, who was supposed to be living an ordinary life and moving towards his original dream, met a certain girl.

The world turns gray and despair erodes everything. The sky, the earth, and the trees all seemed to have lost their color. He sees no hope, no future, nothing good.

Unlike that time when he met Anne, what filled Ulysses's heart now was the lingering sense of guilt and helplessness.

"Have a good rest and grow up quickly. I will give you a birthday gift when the time comes." Ulysses hugged Helen's petite body, and then kissed her proactively. For him, this was an unprecedented new experience. Perhaps, becoming Jussis also had a great impact on himself.

According to his own experience, it is difficult to fully recover without sufficient stimulation and key opportunities. To completely unlock the shackles he had placed on himself, he needed the same key as when he unlocked Yulia's memory.

Jussis had a dream in which he almost lost everything. My dear sister, my gentle mother, and the vows I had made all became torn to pieces. Even his own body is about to become like a broken doll, unusable.

Just live. As long as you live, good things will happen to you one day. No matter how sad and painful things are, they will pass one day. If it is too painful, too sad. Well, it’s okay to forget.

Ulysses held Helen's hand tenderly. I really want to see her cute sleeping face one more time, so that she will no longer have any worries and grow up carefree. However, he was so sinful that he was even bound by his own power. Can I really hold her and care about her like before

Although he felt a heavy sense of guilt, even if he chose again, his choice would still be the same. From this point of view, he was exactly the same as the innocent child he was now burdened with a heavy burden of sin.

Is it still necessary to live? There is nothing left. Vows, important people, future promises.

New power, new world, new partners. Then, there were continuous battles until he defeated the last enemy with his scarred body, and his own body was completely destroyed.

A certain atmosphere that made it impossible to join surrounded the two of them. Is it father and daughter, master and apostle, or...

However, that may not be correct. Because it is impossible for him to cut off his connection with the world like this. That wish was originally just an unrealistic wish before his death. He did not expect that his last wish could be realized so perfectly, more completely than the time when he forgot Yulia.

"Am I wrong?" Ulysses stared blankly at Helen, who was sleeping peacefully next to him. If it weren't for his willfulness, this lovely child wouldn't be working so hard, right? He had never seen that kind of pained expression on the strong woman.

Before the dream really wakes up, he can continue to be loved and protected by everyone happily, and look at the world like a child.

"It's okay, Helen." Ulysses, who clearly felt that his consciousness seemed to be falling asleep again, gently held Helen's hand. He has made an unforgivable mistake, so, at least, he hopes that Helen can be taken better care of by him.

It's more perfect than Aya imagined. Helen, who received her father's love, completed the most important ceremony for her, which represented the ceremony of love.

"Oh... um..." With tears and joy, Helen devoted her love to her familiar father. For her, this proactive kiss had been a dream for who knows how long.

The cracks in his spiritual world were gradually closing, which also meant that he had to continue sleeping.

The successor of the legendary brave man, the genius among geniuses. No matter what time, she has always taken care of him and protected his girl. If I could meet her again, the blocked memories would probably be opened.

So tired, really tired.

However, dreams will wake up one day.

Originally, now was the most important stage for her advancement. However, she suddenly felt her father's breath and woke up desperately, even interrupting the promotion ceremony that was crucial to her.

From Helen's limbs, four beautiful diamond-shaped crystals shined with extremely brilliant light. The magic powers of different attributes and systems were completely integrated at this moment, flowing from the limbs to the heart. The magic power fusion problem that had been bothering Helen was completely solved at this moment.

"Don't go!" As if she noticed something, Helen suddenly woke up and grabbed Ulysses' hand hard.

It would be great if I could go back in time.

At this moment, their hearts overlapped. The heart of Ulysses, who represented the Demon King, and the heart of the First Apostle, who represented absolute loyalty, had a flawless communication in their perfect state.

If possible, it would be nice to have a good sleep without thinking about anything.

During that battle, he killed the legendary warrior Lala who appeared in front of him. The culprit who made him lose his sister forever opened the lock of memory in the most painful way. But this time, the lock to be unlocked was stronger and stronger than that time. To unravel it, one needs to…

So, he forgot. Put the sad past, the desperate past, in the deepest part of the sea of memory. Regain your dreams and move forward seriously and hard towards the future.

The memory doesn't fully come back. However, the fact that he had taken action against his beloved daughter was enough to make him suffer as if he was dead. Perhaps, this is his punishment for escaping and forgetting the past.

What he cherished, what he wanted to protect, what he wanted to save were all gone. He was left alone, living alone and lonely.

This is a power that comes from his own spiritual world and has nothing to do with anyone else. It is the shackles he puts on his own memory. At that time, if he hadn't used this power to forget everything about Yulia, he would have collapsed.

Before that, he...
