The old woman took care of the shaman, handing him over to guild. She took the responsibility to adopt Issac.
However the disgusted look on Issac never fade away.
And one day....Issac actually began to understand the old woman's true nature.
He learnt of her sinister acts of violating orphan children.
Issac went inside the old lady's personal room as he checked more clues about her.
He discovered something unusual.
"A hidden basement!? It's not locked. I should check it out." muttered Issac.
After going down the huge basement,he couldn't believe what he saw there.
For the first time, Issac began to appreciate the old woman.
"So this is your hidden side. I like it. That's right...." said Issac.
He saw old woman who was torturing some children because of their lack of loyalty.
She turned around as she was astonished to see Issac.
"So...you have found about me? Issac? And what's that look on your face? You look happy instead of terrified?" asked Old Woman.
"Since you know what I am, I shall explain it before capturing you my dear." said Old Woman with a terrifying dark aura.
"Heh, you have both light and dark element? Interesting..." replied Issac.
"I always take care of children and protect them if possible. But I do this for the guild. They need young children and wants to train them early on while brainwashing them." said Old Woman with a giggle.
"Then, they reward me. I am actually one of the agents sent by guild. Since you know the truth, I can't let you go. Otherwise Guild will punish me." continued Old Woman.
"And I don't plan to....You can use me, discard me.... That's right, I am ready to work for guild." said Issac with a brilliant smile.
"What? You aren't resisting? Are you mocking me or trying to do something shady?" asked Old Woman.
"Maybe you don't understand why I was disgusted by your presence not Shaman's." said Issac.
"Oh?" old lady looked curious.
"Since birth, I was abandoned by my family. However it doesn't concern me. People used me, they also showed me every kind of evil acts." said Issac.
"However, I don't believe in evil stuff at all. That's correct, there is no evil act. There is no evil, whatever you do is always righteous!" exclaimed Issac.
"I was only disgusted by your fake righteousness concept. People think they know what is right or wrong, but God created us all for the sake of inevitable righteous actions." continued Issac.
Old woman looked shocked at how Issac was not even pretending.
"If God created us, we are only meant to do righteous things. However people often neglect few righteous actions so I don't like people who pretend that they know what is right. In fact, everything is righteous. The guild, you old lady, shaman, people of this village and myself.... We are true righteous people." said Issac.
With that, Old Woman treated Issac differently and sent him to guild along with Willy and Noel.
...
----
They were all imprisoned and were scheduled to be trained by experts.
"Damn it....why does people use us?" asked Noel, with disgusted face but also with hidden sadness.
"Calm down Noel....We are only meant to suffer maybe. But I do trust in humanity." said Willy.
With Willy's confidence in humanity, Issac disliked that idea.
Issac knew Willy doesn't know that everything is the part of righteousness. But Willy and Noel were never corrupted despite being trained by guild.
Willy even believed that Guild would eventually realise their mistakes and work on improving.
This belief threatened Issac.
"Shitty ass people....They think Guild is evil!? How come? Why Willy thinks Guild had chance to correct themselves? I thought they are righteous? Willy....this damn brat....He is the one who might actually corrupt guild with that philosophy." Thought Issac.
After few days, Guild raided the village using Issac.
Willy and Noel were terrified by it. They rushed over, rejecting the idea of guild for this act.
When they arrived, it was late. Everyone died.
"Argh....you!!" exclaimed Old Lady in pain.
Issac stood in front of her.
"It's been a long time. Remember me? For the sake of righteousness, this village shall be executed. Because we don't want to spread rumours that we are so righteous. Kind people like guild are true heroes who are ready to hide their righteous actions." said Issac.
"You shall be honoured that we don't need reward or attention...So please die for our sake, for the future of humanity!" exclaimed Issac as he tried to execute old lady.
"Wait Issac....I have had enough of your ruthless actions. We saw you so many times, we even heard rumours about your twisted righteous beliefs..." said Willy with angry tone.
"W-Willy! You came to save y-"
Willy interfered old lady by saying "Shut up...you will be arrested for your crimes. But you don't deserve to die. And Issac....you have gone too far...." said Willy.
"Willy....and Noel.....You both are the most annoying people I hate. You believe in kindness and compassion but ignore the fact that every action is good." said Issac with a smirk.
"You are the one who is corrupted. Not by guild, not by that lady over there...Not even by shaman or people who tortured you before, not even by your family. You are the one who corrupted himself. Issac, stop this....There is a chance to return....We will also stop guild an-" said Noel.
Issac interfered Noel and said.
"And what? Guild is not corrupted neither I am....You are the corrupted ones who believe in trash fake philosophy. However, you can't do anything against us....I am with Guild's order. If you stop me, you will be punished." said Issac with a threatening warning.
Issac instantly killed the old lady with his refined long ice blade.
"Issac!" exclaimed Willy, not able to accept what guild and Issac has done.
Issac left the village.
Willy looked shocked as well as Noel...
