episode_0093

I feel dizzy. There is no force anywhere in the body.

Am I even alive? It feels like I’m floating, as if I’m drifting in space.

….What happened to Kalea? Calea suddenly told me to run away and turned into a monster.

And after being beaten by Calea, I lost consciousness right after the hope I had of possibly being able to undo my monster transformation was dashed.

And… my vague spirit drifted away at the same time as the shock that seemed to pierce my body.

…….!…..!!

What kind of sound is heard? I might be hearing a sound, or it might be an auditory hallucination created by my dazed head.

It doesn’t sound as good as hearing something underwater. Is this… a human voice?

….no. This probably isn’t a human voice. I can’t do that.

Because such a cruel, endless scream was something that no human could possibly produce. It was so painful that even I, listening to it, felt heartbroken.

Maybe I’m not dead right now, but I think I’ll die soon.

I can barely feel my heartbeat, which was faintly racing. The pulse cycle was slowing down to the point where I could clearly feel it.

…….!……!!!!

The sound comes again. If it was so loud that even I, who cannot hear faint sounds, would be similar to the sound of the sky falling to a sane person.

….ah. My body begins to lose even more strength. I feel death coming closer and closer.

Calea. What happened to Calea? Wasn’t the reality I saw a terrible dream?

…There were many things I wanted to do for Calea, who was still young and innocent. It’s really unfortunate.

And… the remaining residents of Espilia. Of course, including all the prisoners in the lower class… I just feel sorry for not being able to give more.

it’s a shame. I really wanted to make unnecessary hatred and discrimination between people disappear with my own hands.

…Carly.

I’m sorry for having to show her that she didn’t deserve it. The death of a close friend isn’t a very pleasant experience.

My mind drifts further and further away. My body remains the same, and I feel a sense of alienation, as if my soul is flying far away.

I guess… it seems the time has come.

Yes… Still, it was a very fleeting experience. It brings back good memories and good people.

Now… I’m slowly…

…….Seed.

…huh? What is this sound? I think I heard a voice.

…..S…. Mr.

Is this an illusion created by my brain? It seemed like a voice was coming from me, but the voice seemed very familiar.

Venice….Mr.

…..Kalea?

The voice was exactly the same as Calea’s. I will never forget the trembling caused by the delicate neck and the clear voice.

Why is it only now… right before she dies that I can hear Calea’s voice?

Was it because of guilt for not being able to protect her, for not finding out sooner?

I can’t know anything. However, Calea’s voice was clearly calling me.

Mr. Venice….

….huh. I’m listening, Calea.

I’m sorry… it ended up like this… because of me.

Calea’s voice was apologizing to me. It wasn’t even Calea’s fault at all.

Calea. Don’t blame yourself. Because it’s not your fault.

Rather than opening your mouth and speaking, think of the words in your mind. However, the meaning of those words seemed to have been conveyed to Calea’s voice.

Calea’s voice is trembling. From time to time, sobbing sounds can be heard, so it seems like he is crying.

Mr. Venice… you really… are a kind person from beginning to end…

…no. I’m not that great of a person. Because I just did what I had to do.

Except Mr. Venice… everyone knows this…

If so… I’m so glad.

Talk to Calea’s voice. Amazingly, the more we talked, the more our distant spirits seemed to become closer.

I was so far away that I couldn’t find the warmth of my body, but now I feel like my body is still there.

Mr. Venice… really… can I just ask you one favor?

Calea’s voice was hesitant. Is it okay for me to ask this kind of request, or is it okay for me to do something shameless to the person I hurt?

“Of course, Calea.”

There’s nothing you can’t do. Since I’m in this state right now… it doesn’t seem like there’s much I can do.

Still, if it’s something I can do, of course I can listen.

…..Mr. Venice. Can you please bring my sister back to me?

sister? Are you talking about Kali? Did something happen to Carly?

Sister… she is truly a very kind and kind person. But… the world is so unfair and cold to my sister.

I knew full well that Carly was a good person. Because she has lived a difficult life to the point where she has changed and reduced her personality.

Nevertheless, Kali’s appearance, unbroken and looking forward clearly, was enough to serve as an example to many.

I can feel my body lying down. I feel the warmth of something warm on my body.

hand. It feels like a small child’s hand. The warmth coming from those small hands is warm enough to make a damp heart feel warm.

Please save my sister…

The whole world was dyed black. On a black world, I was lying somewhere indescribable. I look down at myself.

And in a completely black world. Something brightly shining white flies towards my body.

Then, he warmly hugs my body as I lie face down.

Thump…thump…thump…

Then, my heart, which had slowed down just before it stopped, started beating again. Warmth began to build up in my cold body.

My body, which had been motionless since I had no strength at all, begins to twitch.

A pure white fairy looks at me and smiles in a black world.

….Thank you always. I’m fine. My… no, our master.

A faint and sad smile that makes me stare blankly at that smile without even realizing it. It was a smile that seemed warm and happy at the same time.

And at that moment, the gaze looking down at my body from the sky suddenly decreases and begins to look towards my body.

Just as I knew, I relaxed my body and closed my eyes.

***

I come back to my senses. My whole body feels heavy, but I feel like I can move somehow.

Bleep….

Tinnitus rings in my ears. It looks like my eardrums have burst, or it seems like water is flowing.

Shoot…

And the water droplets falling on my body. It looks like it might be raining.

The rain pouring down endlessly like someone’s tears makes my body colder.

I struggle to open my eyes. The dark world begins to see light, albeit faintly.

“Cluck, cough…”

Every time I cough, blood comes out. It’s heavy, like there’s a weight on my whole body…

“Keuuuugh….”

I tried to get up. It wasn’t fast. Rather, it was at a speed similar to a snail.

I could move clearly.

By the way… what on earth is this stuck in my stomach? A while ago, I felt a strange feeling in my stomach.

“Ha… what is this.”

window. I can see the window that went through my stomach. Are you saying you’re still alive after getting stuck in this?

[If the usage exceeds the limit, the clone’s body collapses. (Time remaining: 15 minutes 42 seconds.)]

…It doesn’t seem to be alive. Because I became a walking corpse. If this continues… I will meet my final death in 15 minutes.

“Gasp…Huh…”

I take a deep breath and look around with blurred vision. Where on earth is this…?

What I see beyond my blurred vision is a wide square and corpses with their bodies torn apart.

And when looking straight ahead. It’s like I forgot to even breathe. It stopped on the spot.

“……..”

The sun is starting to set, and the world is bathed in sunset light. Strangely enough, dark clouds form and it starts to rain.

In one corner, Calea is seen with only her head remaining, smiling without regret.

Then, a monster is seen standing on all fours above Calea’s head.

A huge body that can be seen from anywhere in the square. Dark red mane and black stripes.

Sharp claws that look like they could tear up a mountain with a single swing, and blinking red eyes that seem to contain all the blood in the world.

It looks like… yeah. I think it could be described as a monster tiger covered in a red aura.

I feel a force that cannot be compared to the monsters and people I met during my three alter ego lives.

Is it okay to consider that… a living thing? By its appearance alone, it would be safe to call it a disaster.

however. That wasn’t the reason I stopped. Because that monster gave me a very familiar feeling.

“……Carly?”

Grrr…..

At my small voice, the monster growled. But I could see that it was Kali.

[Name: Kali / Age: 23 / Female / Status: Beast Shoes. Hatred, anger, sadness, despair, pain…..]

[Unique Ability (Magic Eye): This is an eye that can see magical power. You can see the trajectory of magic power and use magic power more smoothly.]

[Potential: ★★★★★★ (100 out of 10! You have the qualities of a hero to rule this era!)]

Because the name that suddenly appeared in the status window flashed. Because it was the name of a very familiar friend of mine.

Why on earth has it changed like that?

Factors that can be guessed include ‘Beast Transformation’ that appears in Kali’s status window, and ‘Blood of the King of Beasts’. There will be two things

The last item that has been hidden until now is… the blood of the King of Beasts. In addition, Kali’s potential increased from five stars to six.

It has evolved to the same potential as Ariel and Seris.

However, there was no time to worry about such things now.

I led my heavy body towards Kali, who had changed, and began to move forward little by little, to the point where you could call it an ant’s step.

“Cluck, cough…Carly. What the hell is going on…”

Grrrr….!!

As I approached Carly, she lowered her posture and became wary of me.

The crying sound that seemed to be pulled from my soul sent shivers down my spine, and the red aura seemed to force me to kneel at any moment.

I began to move forward slowly but surely.

Jeopuk-jeopuk.

“…Carly. it’s me. Venice… your friend.”

Wow-!!!

It swung its claws at me and screamed so loudly that the wind rose. Continue speaking without stopping.

Obviously, if he was as weak as me and in his current slow state, I would definitely be able to kill him in less than a second.

Kali, who had changed, was instead taking a step back and moving away from me. As if he was afraid, as if he was telling me not to come closer.

“It was very… painful. Cough… It hurt a lot.”

That…grrr…!!

“Even if I act strong… I know everything. To me… I can see everything… Cough…”

No matter how strong you pretended to be, you showed through, Carly. I still see it now. Tears are flowing from your eyes, which are as red as the eyes of a predator.

Despite your delicate nature, I knew your unbreakable and kind heart. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to live like this.

…….!

What are you so afraid of? Don’t be scared. I’m your… friend.

The incredibly slow steps finally reached Kali. Carly stopped and looked down at me, and I looked up at her.

[You can access the target’s emotions and memories. Would you like to access it?]

(However, it places a serious burden on the user’s mind and body. If you cannot survive in the world of images, your soul and body will die.)

Nevertheless. Would you like to access it?

“…. Cough, Cluck…. Ha. It’s not obvious.”

My friend… is so sad and hurt. Of course I have to help.

“Approach…”

Taaaak-!

Hwaaa!

The sound of cheerful finger snapping resonates. At the same time, an overwhelming light begins to radiate between Cali and Venice, making it impossible to open your eyes.
