A NEET’s Guide to the Parallel World: Healer, the Strongest Cheat?

Chapter 165: Confession

Around now Nito will have been found not guilty.

Oswald told Sabrina.

Is that the will of the kings?

It was Schneisers will, he said that killing Nito would not only create a second emperor but could also bring about the dark ages.

The room was dim as there were no lights and the sound of raindrops echoed loudly inside the room. There are several different ways of putting it but the dark ages generally refers to the end of the world, the end of life and the world being filled with darkness.

The room was silent until there was a knocking sound at the door and Saeki entered. He apologized to Oswald who looked at him curiously.

I was thinking about quitting school.

Although still a little hesitant, Saeki had already decided.

What did you say?

Oswald was in shock.

King Arthur asked me to quit school and go back to Greyberg.

Oswald calmed down when he heard this.

I see.youre going then?

Oswald muttered.

Yes.

And you agree with this?

Its what I want.

What for?

To get stronger.

Why do you want to get stronger?

That.

Its to kill Nito isnt it?

Saeki did not answer.

You should refrain from getting involved with him. You will only destroy yourself.

Im prepared for that.

Prepared? Did you just say you were prepared for that?

Oswalds snapped at Saeki although his voice appeared calm.

You dont understand a thing

That was his impression of Saeki.

You are not prepared. You are Ignorant. That guy, hesab.

Oswald.

Oswald had wanted to say something but stopped short and Sabrina interjected to keep him finishing.

What?

Saeki was confused. It is possible that he may have heard that word but it would have been told to him as a fairytale. For Saeki such a thing would not exist.

Oswald, thats enough

Isnt not knowing more dangerous?

Do you intend to do something Taboo?

Its existence should not be so easily revealed.

..

Oswald was quiet for a while before he spoke once again.

Saeki, you once asked me who I thought was stronger. Dragons Heart or Nito.

I did.

The answer is the latter. It is him without a doubt.Nito is the best.

The best?

Its abnormal to say that someone wiped out demons. Not only that but to defeat a demon lord in a way that made it look as if he was squashing a bug. He was toying with her. Saeki I At one point I was called a great mage and the name The guardian alchemist was known across the continent. I fell in love, had a child and eventually had a grandchild.

Oswald seemed to have been saying that Nito was strong but in the middle of it he began to talk about something else entirely. Although now he was biting his lip as if afraid to say anything else.

Saeki, Im saying this for your sake. Do not think less of me.

Oswald was pleading with him. He was ashamed of what he was about to say and was pleading with Saeki.

Of course.

Saeki answered without really thinking about it.

I.

Oswald clenched his fists.

I killed my son.

.

Saeki didnt know what to say.

My son was a kind hearted mage. He helped people regardless of their race. One day I returned home like normal and saw my son covered in blood with his wife on the floor. My granddaughter was there trembling as he cried.

Oswalds voice was filled with regret.

..

.

.

Kyle, what is this.

Red blood was dripping down from Kyles right arm into the pool on the floor. Oswald had immediately understood what happened. It wasnt hard when he saw his daughter in law on the ground bleeding from her stomach. The next instant Oswald had looked up meeting his sons gaze and they started to cast magic at the same time. The explosion caused by their magic colliding caused half of the house to collapse. Fortunately Zels, Oswalds grandson had not been caught up in the explosion.

Kyle.what are you doing?

Dad? Haha! Do you want to kill me!?

Kyle was not his usual self, it was hard to put how into words but Oswald could tell.

Why? I feel good, dad. Better than ever. It feels like I have everything, but I dont know why? Although there is something, I dont doubt this power, thats all I know.

What do you mean by you dont doubt it?

Kyle didnt answer.

I wonder? But I do know that I shouldnt doubt it, this power is my will.

A shadow wrapped around Kyles hand making it appear larger and clawed. Kyle stared at his hand in fascination while Oswald stared at his son. When he looked at his son Oswald was sure of two things, that his son had gone insane and that hand was going to attack him.

Kyle.

Oswald slowly closed his eyes.

Da..d

When Oswald opened his eyes he saw his son with blood coming from his mouth. Oswald was confused as too what happened but the truth was that Oswald was a strong adventurer and when he felt that he was in danger he took action reflexively. This was the result.

Gofu!

Kyle coughed up blood as Oswald realized that he had a spear in his right hand, the tip of which had pierced Kyles heart.

Kyle

Tears ran down Oswalds cheeks. Oswald caught his son in his arms before he could hit the ground. Oswalds wife and his son had changed his life completely. He had given up adventuring and making magic tools so he could give all his time to Kyle.

Kyle.

What had happened to Kyle..

Why.Why did I kill you?

His eyes never left his son who was lying there weak.

Why did this..

In that moment Kyles clawed hand dug into Oswalds left arm.

Mnn!

D..ad

In that moment Incomprehensible feelings flowed into Oswald through his arm. I want to kill people. these were Kyles feelings. The idea that murder was a talent.

Kyle.You..

Kyle had always been helping people and was kind to the elderly in the village. Why did Kyle have these feelings all of a sudden? The grip on Oswalds arm grew stronger.

Guh!

Dad! .Murder is a talent! I want to know! Why do you help people!? Why do I have to help people!?

It was as if Oswald didnt know his son at all.

I see.You..

But Oswald didnt understand, he didnt know why his son had become like this. And what was this magic power that made him feel nauseous just by getting close to it?

This..

Is my.Will!

He couldnt save his son anymore, Oswald was sure of this.

Elemental Exorcism..

The tip of his spear started to glow as well as his sons body. Kyles body was pulled into itself until there was a small blue ore there.

..

This magic turned someone into a raw ore causing them to die as it was created.

Ky..le..

Oswald picked up the blue ore that he had created as he cried.

Oswald returned to the house and rushed over to Zels who was fainted. Holding Zels he moved to the kitchen and there he saw something that caused him to sob even harder. His beloved wife was there bleeding from her chest.

Helena.

Oswald left the house with Zels in his arms and laid the boy down in the meadow outside. He sat next to his grandchild staring at the blue ore and alternately looking at the house. Then he made the spear appear again, its head was silver.

Kyle

Oswald attached the ore to the spear causing a dazzling light to appear and the head of the spear to change from silver to the color of a sapphire.

Kyle

Oswald snuggled close to Zels as he looked at his collapsing house.
