Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
52. Ambitious (1)

The smell of rain soaking the ground was so clear that even though the ground was submerged by water, I took refuge behind my golden sand and looked at it with an annoyed look, I looked at it, above us the sky seemed to rain heavily. Under his faint red tears now emitted a red glow of anger, the pool of water around him froze into ice and his head that was always covered with a hood now revealed an ice horn.

"I told you I didn't kill him!" I screamed loudly, trying to convince her. A hail of ice needles shot towards me and tried to hollow out my golden sand. A cold streak darted beside my ear and injured me, I wiped the blood in my ear and continued to endure, for the first time I did not want to hurt someone. As if there was a whisper telling her not to hurt him, I could not hurt a friend whom I considered family to me.

I thought I could stop his rampage if I beat him with golden sand but his strength rose and his body began to turn into an ice dragon that was so big and fierce. Once I lost he didn't kill me and instead left while stealing the diary we wrote together.

From that day on I no longer saw him, I continued to look for him, even when the battle between the demon princes took place and I was desperate, only you I could think of could help me. Even I even bothered to look for you throughout the nightmare until finally arrived in this comfort dream world. A place where neither you nor I should be.

The noise woke me up from my sleep in the horse carriage, and I fell asleep after thinking about many things. My eyes were staring at the big whale in the air "actually what you did to make it that way" I knew the whale wasn't him, it was supposed to be dead, but why did it move and grow that big. Why are you hiding behind that thing again, Leviathan.

The shadow of Leviathan's figure at a glance appeared in my mind, I will not be able to forget the figure that used to hide behind his own pet. The figure that was so timid was now feared by everyone, becoming a monster that could even eat humans for its own survival.

But is Leviathan really like that?

That demon who was so insecure dared to kill others?

And why is the pope so disturbing my feelings..

I clucked in annoyance and then my eyes were glued to the golden glint beside the chair where Novan had been sitting, my gold card was lying there and I immediately picked it up, a sense of indignation and resentment enveloped my heart as I knew that the man had predicted all this. I immediately consulted and reabsorbed my power stored within, instantly restoring my form.

I rushed to open the door and at that very moment the gazes of dozens of humans were instantly fixed on me a smile appeared on my face and then I took out a gold coin from my pocket "all right so who's ready to sell his soul for greed?". My demonic power radiated in all directions and golden sand floated above my head, forming a golden crown.

On the other hand Novan looked down the hallway after the library, trying to find Leviathan but he did not see any signs of Leviathan. Novan was silent for a moment and then gazed at a glass that looked cracked, the glass also seemed to be on some other side of the library with the same cracked condition.

Novan walked up to the mirror, he saw his chaotic reflection as if he was broken. "Actually why this glass looks so strange.." Novan touched the glass with his right hand and right after that his reflection in the mirror smiled.

"You want to know?"

From inside there a black shadow resembling Novan came out and grabbed Novan's hand. The shadow smiled and looked at Novan with a sharp look and an annoying smile. Without warning he continues to attack Novan, his strength is no different from Novan, as well as his fighting style and movements, all that the shadow does is exactly like Novan, he said, it is as if Nova is now fighting herself.

"The longer you hold on to it the stronger it is that your heart devours you" in a fairly distant passage Leviathan appears to be watching Novan and giving him a hint, the more, that what Novan is currently facing is the envy that is in the bottom of his heart.

"The stronger the envy of a person the more he falls into a sea of hatred, so he will be able to meet me but the gods put the mirrors. A mirror that can give off a person's negative energy and turn it into a vicious shadow" Leviathan said, making it clear why there was no one in the library but them, why is there so much glass in a library and why all that glass is broken.

Leviathan had been stuck there for a long time, making her so fed up every time she walked through the glass, every time she saw her reflection getting bigger and bigger her hatred for herself, that's why he tried to smash all that glass but he couldn't.

"Then what should I do?! Beat her?!" Novan had no idea or found a way out, what could make him beat his own envy, the more he thought there was only one question in his mind.

I'm actually jealous of what?

Novan kept trying to fight but all was useless, the shadow continued to be more perfect until finally he could use the power of the black butterfly belonging to Novan, making Novan so tormented with the ability of his own.

The questions kept turning on Novan's head, he felt something was wrong, but he was not aware of it either. Leviathan once again spoke to him, asking him to make a big choice.

"Remove the envy itself"

Or in other words..

"Kill me"

Novan's eyes were perfectly rounded and at that moment his shadow increasingly attacked him ferociously, as if preventing him from approaching Leviathan. Now Novan realized what was strange and what he had to do "well, then let's make this game even more exciting.." Novan once again faced his shadow but this time his movements became a little slow.

And right after that Novan let the shadow dagger pierce his stomach, instantly making him enter into an illusion. Again Novan saw his other self out of nowhere, standing beside Leviathan and looking at him blankly before time stopped and he walked over. Touching Novan's shoulder and whispering.

"May you be haunted by your past"

Novan's eyes emitted a bright red light and he easily pushed his own shadow towards the bookshelf until it collapsed on his shadow, Novan's face now looks flat and there is no light in his eyes. He looked towards Leviathan and spoke.

"Killing you means following the will of the gods, and I don't like that" Novan threw his dagger towards the glass and just then the glass was smashed into pieces but soon the glass was fused back together.

"Killing you is tantamount to removing the envy in this world, leaving everyone no longer having any doubt or ambition for something they failed to achieve" the figure inside Novan seemed to know very well what it meant by envy. The nature in which we are jealous of the achievements of others and the forerunner and birth of hatred. But on the one hand envy is a trait that can give birth to the ambition to defeat someone.

The sense of not wanting to lose to a greater person, the dissatisfaction with his achievements and the desire to get what others also get, that is ambition, the result of envy. Envy is the fuel for someone creating an ambition.

"Never hate yourself because you are the envy. Take advantage of that to push yourself toward ambition, that's what you should realize, Leviathan"
