I Became A Villain In A Novel
Ten

I approached the old man, he smiled and told me to sit on a bench made of bamboo.

"It turns out you're a different soul." Said the old man who looked at me with a smile.

"What do you mean?" I was nervous about the pupil earthquake I couldn't avoid.

"Hehe don't worry, I'm in brackets here because I can see other people's past. And I know you're not a part of this world, it's just that I can't look deep into your soul just know that you're not the real soul of this body." He said smiling bitterly.

For some reason I felt sympathy for the old man, he looked very lonely, his old body and the look in his eyes were pitiful.

"Why do you see me like that?" Ask the old man.

"No, your grandfather looks so pathetic." I said honestly.

"You stinking brat, I don't need your pity just that I'm a little lonely."

"For grandpa too, you have the ability to see other people's past not your own fault, blame the gods for giving you that ability." I said flatly.

The old man looked at me in shock then laughed out loud while crying.

"Haha you're an interesting girl, only this time I met the one who blames the gods, but you're right sometimes there are envious humans who ruthlessly blame someone's destiny when it's set by God."

"Who locked up Grandpa here?" I was curious because I was more comfortable talking to the old man.

"That's the people from the sacred tower, the paladins there can't use the power of the sacred tower because I hate them, even though I'm confined but my strength is still strong, I can control this cactus forest." Evidently.

I was surprised, wasn't the sacred tower a special place for people without worldly greed? They were rumored to be only interested in holy magic.

It could be said that the people of the sacred tower, were the same as the people in the temple who exalted the gods and did not care about worldly affairs.

"You must think it's impossible for those who claim to be holy to do such a despicable thing, right?" Ask in a positive tone.

I nodded and had no intention of lying, after all I wanted to know!

"Son, every other person's heart is unfathomable, some are sincere and some are not. Sometimes there are many people who pretend to be good, but he hides his dark side perfectly. Everyone can't be trusted, you can only believe in yourself, what we can count on is ourselves." He said with a smile.

That's right, don't think far, look in the mirror sometimes we can also be hypocritical, hide our true nature by smiling in front of others.

"Thank you, I'll remember that." My words are full of gratitude.

"It's okay, come here I'll give you something." He said, I approached him and looked down.

He was chanting strange words and a beam of light came into my body, it felt warm and comfortable I did not know what it was.

I see inside my body there is a flowing power in white and green, it seems like such a thing does not exist.

"Don't be confused, you're an elementalist. Your potential is high let alone where you are endless, your power has not been awakened entirely act out loud, I give wind magic and my light using forbidden techniques.

After this I'll disappear, I don't regret giving it to you, you're a good person, I hope we'll meet again but my time is running out. Nice to meet you, see you."

The old man slowly disappeared like a wisp of light, looking at me with a friendly smile.

"Grandpa what's your name?" Tanyaku.

"Ariel Isycha." He replied with a fading voice, I somehow felt claustrophobic.

Slowly the magic protector opened, and I could see my friends looking at me worriedly.

Prasina came and hugged me while crying, her body was shaking I just smiled and calmed her down.

"Don't cry, I'm fine." Reply patting her back, Prasina took off my indentation and looked at me seriously.

"What's going on?" Luther looked around.

"Where's the old man?" The crown prince looked at me.

"The old man had already gone to another realm, he was a great man. Maybe this magic protection will disappear if the old man also disappears." Definitely potluck.

"Then let's look at this temple of the goddess Athena more deeply." Said the crown prince, no one disputes because we are also curious.

Like other relics, the interior is typical of ancient times, there are many statues of angels made of gold holding arrows or flutes.

The floor was clean and there was a majestic altar in front, by her side was a very beautiful statue of the goddess Athena.

According to legend, the goddess Athena was the favorite daughter of the god zeus, the strongest god in heaven.

Athena was a goddess of war, seen from various paintings identical to war and weapons.

"Truly beautiful." Say paladin while holding something near the statue that is like a button.

"Don't hold it." Shouted Elios.

But late, the magnificent marble floor suddenly turned into a crack and all of us without being able to react had fallen underground.

Everyone fell down neatly, no shame! Looking around was like an altar above.

Shhh

"That's a human."

"Why are humans here."

"I don't want to eat a man, his flesh is so disgusting."

The discussion caught the attention of those of us who had walked closer to each other, I held hands with Luther.

"That's Medusa." My whisper.

"Isn't the medusa extinct?" Ask knight.

"Damn humans, we're not extinct just hiding. Because Athena turned a beautiful woman like us into this, we were hunted down and killed." Said one of the medusae with red eyes.

It is true, in the book Athena turned a beautiful woman into someone who had a serpent tail.

"Are you Athenians?" Ask medusa.

"No, we just got lost and accidentally pushed a button and fell in here." I said in a serious tone.

The Medusa just nodded in confidence, and pointing the way out just like that, everyone looked at me who was lying, I just gave them a code to be quiet.

"We're in Athena's seal here, unable to get out to death. We'll get you here, good luck." Medusa let us go well.

"Thank you." We were in a hurry for fear of the medusae canceling their good intentions.

Although it looks weak and in the seal, but the power of the medusa is very large we all still cannot defeat it.

So we should all go, after all medusa won't be able to come out until the end of her life because of the seal.
