“Khahahahaha!”

Hamel burst out laughing as if the sky was leaving.

“Ah… That expression is truly a masterpiece.”

Hamel looked at Bella with an ecstatic expression, as if he had tasted heavenly wine.

“You… You, father… … ?”

Bella’s eyes were wide open and she looked like she couldn’t believe it.

“Yes. I killed your father.”

With a grin, Hamel confessed his crime.

“We chased Miguel out of the city and launched a surprise attack. But even then, I couldn’t avoid struggling. No, I was treated so one-sidedly that I couldn’t even use my hands. As a result, I killed him, but I still can’t forget the memories of that time. I couldn’t even sleep for a while because I was so unfair.”

“So.”

A voice interrupted.

Wade’s voice subsided.

“So you targeted Bell?”

“Yes. Isn’t it true that children are supposed to repay their parents’ debt?”

Hamel chuckled.

“Well, even if you say that, it actually started out impulsively. I didn’t have any specific plans, I just wanted to see if she was in pain… This was more fun than I thought.”

“… … .”

“How fun it was to have no choice but to kill someone and then shed tears, become broken, and broken. If we have the same mindset, the next 15 years… No, it was a sight I wanted to see for 50 more years.”

But, Hamel added.

“You sabotaged it there.”

“… … .”

Wade didn’t respond.

I just tightly gripped the handle of the sword.

“… Well, it can’t be helped that things turn out like this. If things had gone according to ‘those guys’ plan anyway, everything would have been meaningless… … .”

He bowed his head and sighed regretfully.

“Anyway, that’s it. So, how do you feel?”

Hamel’s eyes fell on Bella again.

“How I feel now that I found out that the guy who ruined your life and the lives of your precious people actually killed your father as well.”

“… … .”

“Oh, I should tell you this too. That’s how he looked for you when he was dying. Bella, Bella, I said. He muttered that he was so sorry. Thanks to you, I memorized your entire name─”

“─I can’t do it.”

“Hmm?”

“I can’t forgive… !!”

Bella, who had been quietly listening to Hamel’s story, suddenly rushed forward.

It was an impulsive move that made him unable to hold back his anger.

But as a result, she couldn’t even get close to Hamel.

Because she was blocked by Wade who suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Get out of the way… !”

Bella rolled her eyes and screamed, but Wade didn’t move.

I just shook my head.

“Stop it.”

“Take this hand right away… !!”

“You know it’s meaningless.”

“… … !”

Bella bit her lip.

It was because she knew.

Even if I ran into it myself.

The fact that no matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to inflict even a single wound on Hamel.

but.

Even though I know that.

“Then, what should I do then? !”

Understanding with your head and accepting with your heart are completely different.

Bella was not rational enough to retreat cleanly from the enemy who killed her father.

Wade looked straight at those angry eyes and tears without avoiding them.

“Leave it to me.”

“… … !”

Bella’s eyes grew even wider and she began to tremble.

“I will pay you back.”

With those words, Wade turned around.

“ Wow, this is a scene that will make girls scream when they see it. There is no such thing as a prince in a fairy tale.”

The person who greeted Wade was Hamel, who exaggeratedly shook his shoulders and clapped.

“It’s nice to have such form… Can you keep those words?”

Hamel took a step forward.

“You know. That it can’t happen anymore.”

“Well. You don’t know until you look at it.”

“Haha. Your spirit is worth knowing.”

Hamel smiled and shook his head.

“I appreciate your spirit and if you kneel down and pray right away, I will at least spare your life.”

It’s like saying something out of kindness.

“You keep talking like that without even thinking about it.”

Wade’s sharp answer came back.

“Oops, did you get caught?”

Hamel chuckled again.

“We have come to this point and I can’t just let you go. You’re too cocky for that. Even if you kneel down and pray now, I won’t let you go.”

Hamel glared at Wade, still smiling, but with eyes full of murder.

“Then, slowly─”

Before Hamel could finish speaking, Wade rushed forward.

“Oh my.”

Pretending to be surprised, Hamel raised his spear and blocked Wade’s sword.

However, the moment the ink spear and sword came into contact, Wade’s sword crawled through the spear pole and into Hamel’s arms, as if it were a snake.

“Hmm… !”

He avoided getting hurt by hastily shaking the spear and deflecting the sword, but after that, the flow was completely Wade’s.

There was a dizzying exchange of swords and spears, but the result was in the end.

Sigh!

Hamel was injured.

It was nothing compared to the wound I suffered before, but it was quite a deep wound.

If left alone, it could cause trouble in some way.

However.

Slurp─

The wound healed in the blink of an eye.

“I aimed well in my own way… It didn’t mean anything?”

Smirking, Hamel began to move.

Huh!

Nothing special, an attack using a spear.

Wade immediately moved his body to avoid the spear, but that was the beginning of Hamel’s attack.

Wade’s movements while avoiding the barrage of attacks became increasingly dizzy.

That was the originally planned flow.

It was like that even before Hamel got into that state.

But the problem was that the speed was noticeably faster.

“It looks burdensome.”

Hamel chuckled as he looked at Wade like that.

Wade didn’t respond at all.

It wasn’t worth responding, but I couldn’t afford it.

Either way, Hamel continued.

“But what can I do… That’s not the end.”

What do you mean, this isn’t the end?

Before Wade could even guess what it meant.

Shrug—!

The path of the spear, which had been extending in a straight line, was literally ‘bent’.

“… … !”

Wade was scared and moved his body, but he was unable to completely avoid the unexpected blow.

at last.

Sigh!

A dark-colored spear grazed Wade’s side.

“Mr. Wade… !”

Hearing Bella’s voice full of worry, Wade quickly backed away.

However, Hamel was not one to just sit there and watch.

The ink-colored spear curved like a snake again and chased Wade as he retreated.

No, to be exact, the window was not bent.

Hamel’s ‘arm’ was literally bending.

Hamel’s flexibility, which had already seemed to be beyond human limits, had now reached a state that transcended the human realm.

The way his arms were literally twisted like a snake made me feel like I was seeing a monster, not a human.

“Hahahahaha!”

Hamel burst into laughter as if he was excited and continued swinging his spear.

Accordingly, the wounds on Wade’s body began to increase, and as time passed, his entire body became full of small wounds.

It was clear that it was an amazing thing to survive this storm of bizarre and deadly attacks, but it was no consolation to Wade.

Because his defeat was getting closer in real time.

however.

A change has come to that trend as well.

Sreuk─

Wade showed another strange movement and once again perfectly deflected Hamel’s spear, which was curved in a strange trajectory.

It was clear that Hamel, who had already escaped the human body, was less affected by the effect than an ordinary person, but he still could not be completely free from the effect.

Of course, a gap arose, and Wade dug into it again.

Wade, intent on making the most of this long-awaited opportunity, rushed towards Hamel, preparing to strike with all his might.

Hamel, who saw this with his own eyes, opened his eyes wide-

“… Ha.”

I laughed.

“You seem to be in quite a bit of a corner.”

Then he spoke quietly.

“Seeing as how he doesn’t even know the condition of his sword.”

At those words, Wade’s eyes naturally turned to the sword in his hand.

And Wade saw.

There are a lot of cracks in the sword that has somehow held up until now.

Wade swung his sword despite gritting his teeth at that fact.

“You don’t know how to give up.”

Hamel’s fist stretched out aiming for the sword’s face.

Pachang!

Wade’s sword shattered into pieces.

In that way, Wade was incapacitated in an instant in front of the enemy.

“It’s over.”

A dark-colored spear was swung towards Wade.

Crack!

With the sound of bones breaking, a dark-colored spear with the power to destroy even a building struck Wade.

bang!

Wade could not resist at all and flew at the speed of an arrow, hit the wall, and was buried in a pile of collapsed buildings.

“Mr. Wade… !!”

Bella shouted in a voice that was almost like a scream.

“Wade… Seed… … .”

Bella called Wade’s name in vain.

However, no matter how many names were called, there was no answer from the pile of buildings.

“… … .”

Bella knew too.

How powerful was that spear?

It had the power to easily destroy a building and create a storm just by wind pressure.

There is no way the human body could withstand that.

Jump and jump.

Hamel slowly approached her.

Bella hesitated and took a step back, but was unable to run away.

Because she knew very well that it was meaningless.

“Well, it ended up like this. How do you feel? The feeling of having your hopes trampled right before your eyes.”

Hamel looked into her face.

“Ah, I like that look.”

Bella didn’t respond at all, but Hamel smiled with a very satisfied expression when he saw Bella’s expression.

“I was annoyed because my plan went awry, but if I could have seen this expression, it might not have been so bad if I thought about it.”

‘Inherently, true despair comes after a glimpse of hope.’… “, added Hamel.

“… … .”

Even though Hamel was talking next to her, Bella showed no reaction.

Words and actions.

He just stood still, with blank eyes.

finished.

Hope is gone.

Because Wade appears.

And the spark of hope that had bloomed as a result of his struggle disappeared.

All that was left now was regret and guilt toward Wade, and despair about the future that unfolded.

‘… rather.’

It would be better if it were to be like this.

Wouldn’t it be better to end everything like this?

A thought suddenly appeared in Bella’s mind.

Ten years filled with hardships gnawed, cut, and tore away her heart.

I didn’t think I could endure that dark future.

However, it was as if he had read her thoughts.

“Why are you like this? Your family is waiting. no way… To abandon your family?”

The devil’s evil whispers pierced her heart.

families.

The reason she endured suffering for 10 years.

If you give up, they will probably die miserably.

Bella knew that fact very well.

Suddenly, a single tear fell.

Darkness came into her heart again.

Like a night without the moon, pitch-black darkness.

A darkness that will probably never disappear for the rest of my life.

Even in the devastated streets, the colorful lights still remained, brightly illuminating the surroundings, but Bella’s vision was dark.

Night has come to her world.

It was then.

“Anyone, whatever they want… .”

A dying voice was heard.

A dying voice that is difficult just to listen to.

“… Ha, it’s tough too.”

Hamel identified the owner of the voice and spoke as if he was fed up.

“Do you think saying that you are not human would suit you better?”

It’s not that it wasn’t, Wade’s appearance was miserable.

His entire body was covered in blood, and his left arm was shaking due to broken bones.

In addition, my posture was not upright, and it seemed like all the bones except my arms were broken.

“I defended by concentrating all my strength on my left arm. What a great reaction speed.”

As he said, Wade made his decision in that short moment and concentrated all his magic and intent on his left arm.

To prevent damage as much as possible.

Still, looking at it like that, it was possible to indirectly guess how powerful the spear Hamel wielded was.

“But what can you do in that condition? All the body can do is move, and the sword is like that too.”

It was sarcastic, but it wasn’t wrong.

The sword is broken, with only the handle remaining, and the condition of the body is so bad that one wonders if one can even swing the sword properly.

I am absolutely in no condition to fight.

“It’s just an ugly struggle. what… I won’t stop you from dying like that, but.”

Hamel shook his head as if he didn’t understand and raised the spear again.

“… Stop it.”

A thin voice came between the two.

Without going far, the owner of the voice was Bella.

“Now… stop it… .”

With darkened eyes, Bella muttered in a faint voice.

“I can’t win. I’m going to die. rather… I’d rather just run away.”

There was no more life in that voice, but the emotion was clearly still there.

Feelings of worry and regret toward Wade.

“Now… It doesn’t mean anything… … .”

Even after learning that Wade was alive, the light did not return to her eyes.

It was because I knew.

There’s no chance of winning.

To Hamel, you can never win.

“It’s over now… . I can’t change anything. No matter how hard you try, you can’t change my situation.”

The night will never end anymore.

She calmly announced that her life was over.

At that time, Wade, who had been quietly looking at Bella, spoke for the first time.

“… No matter how dark the night, the end will come.”

Stumbling, unable to control his body properly, Wade continued.

“If you wait and wait, morning will come someday.”

Bella, who was about to refute those somewhat unexpected words, closed her mouth.

It was because I felt like I had heard those words somewhere.

“Keuuu. That’s a very touching phrase. If I had become a poet, I would have made the continent cry.”

Hamel stepped forward with exaggerated admiration.

“But now, it’s really time to end it.”

Saying that, he adjusted the spear, and Wade also lifted the sword with the broken blade, leaving only the handle.

“Huh, have I finally lost my mind?”

Hamel looked at that, shook his head, and immediately stretched out his feet forward.

Hamel’s new model moved at incredible speed, and the next moment he was in front of Wade, who was in disarray.

“It’s over.”

Hamel swung his spear.

A spear filled with great power rushed towards Wade.

I somehow survived the previous blow, but there will be no next one.

If you allow one more attack, you will surely die.

In that situation.

With the scythe of death draped over your neck.

Wade moved his arm.

I swung my sword.

He swung the sword, which had no blade left but only the handle, towards Hamel.

At first glance, it seemed like a meaningless action.

It was an action that, if someone had seen it from the side, would definitely have been considered crazy.

However.

Wade’s eyes did not waver.

With clear eyes, he swung the sword with only the handle remaining.

and.

Everything split apart.

Destroyed roads and half-collapsed buildings.

A dark-colored spear that seemed like it would never break.

And, the demon that ruled Aguilem.
