Chapter 61: Ciel Midford (7)
by Afuhfuihgs
It hurts.
As his brain tried to process the damage caused by the stabbing, all of Ferzen’s pain receptors flared up with reckless abandon.
His vision also became blurry and unfocused as he gradually kept losing more blood.
The beautiful dark starry sky now took a strange lavender shade in his eyes.
But the sole reason Ferzen stayed awake despite his grievous injury was that…… his body was out of symmetry with only one side of his chest being stabbed.
In his deliriums, Ferzen even considered the idea of asking his doctor to stab the other side of his chest so that he would have symmetrical scars.
Ferzen turned his head and observed his surroundings as those useless thoughts bounced around in his mind.
And when he looked at the bright spot in the corner of his eyes……
The sight of Ciel Midford walking through the fire prison created by the old man Theor, almost made him burst into laughter.
‘Euphemia……’
You warned Ciel Midford……
You thought that if he encountered a sturdy wall, he would succumb to his reality and give up.
But look at him……
Those who are the ‘Main Characters’ are all like this.
Even when faced with a situation that most, if not all people would despair and surrender.
They always try to defy fate, giving birth to miracles.
‘But that’s fine……’
Be it a happy ending.
Or a bad ending.
Independent of each ending the ‘Main Character’ achieves.
‘The world is always…….’
Waiting for the villain to die.

However, the Underworld rejects his death.

Kwoong!
Squeak……!
Against his will, the gates of the underworld descended in front of Ferzen and opened, and a tangled mess of vile chains squirmed inside it.
At the same time, the nameplate on top of the gate was frozen.
And from beyond the gates, something was being dragged out……
—-Meeeeeeh!
The thing devoured Ciel Midford’s sword which was full of anti-magic properties, as it let out a satisfied goat cry.
Flap-Flap!
Flap-Flap!
Flap-Flap!
Accompanied by a distinct flapping sound, a bizarre book also appeared hovering in the air, while emanating a corrupted aura. The book opened to a specific page as if demanding that Ferzen read its contents.
