Camiel caught his breath as he approached the next step.

The high point was now just around the corner.

My whole body was covered in sweat, but I was glad I arrived.

‘however… ‘What if the door is locked?’

When that thought suddenly passed through my mind, I became anxious.

If you’re not careful, your efforts so far may be in vain.

Actually, it’s not that I didn’t think about this before coming up.

But since there was no other way to get Ulka out, I could only hope that it would remain open.

In front of the door, Kamiel turned the doorknob with a nervous expression on his face.

Dalkak-

He was almost disappointed at the first sound he heard.

However, when the doorknob turned gently, the color changed again.

‘It’s open… ‘

It was a moment of relief.

“Welcome.”

“… … Lee Ho.”

“No way, I didn’t know you would actually get out of there.”

Kamiel was speechless at Lee Ho’s words.

If we take that statement literally, it means that he even vaguely anticipated his appearance.

“… no. I just want to get this kid out… Huh?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you saying there is someone behind you?”

“… … .”

Kamiel looked back.

And I woke up. Ulka has disappeared.

He went down the spiral staircase beyond the door just in case… .

No matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find Ulka.

Could it be that he went down all these stairs?

In that short amount of time?

No, it might be possible with Ulca.

But why?

I didn’t understand it at all.

‘This can’t be happening…’ .’

It really disappeared without a trace.

It seems like Ulka’s warmth is still there next to me… I couldn’t actually find where it went.

“What’s there?”

“… No.”

Kamiel went upstairs again, leaving behind his friend whose whereabouts were unknown.

Lee Ho stared at him as if puzzled.

“But… Why is Deacon Lee Ho here?”

“I was in charge of the guide. From now on, you can follow me. Shall we go?”

Kamiel remained silent.

Seeing that, Lee Ho bowed his head and took the lead and just followed behind.

thud-!

I almost lost my balance from the sudden vibration.

Camiel managed to stand up straight and control his startled mind.

‘Suddenly there was an earthquake… .’

Kugugugugung—!

However, once was not the end.

“Uh… !”

Aftershocks continued out of nowhere, not only Kamiel but even Lee Ho lost their balance and stumbled.

“Oh my… ! Be careful!”

Despite the sudden situation, Lee Ho took care of Kamiel first.

Kamiel was a little embarrassed to see that, but

It was in such a precarious state that it seemed as if it would fall over at any moment, so there was no time to think about anything else.

Kugugugugugugung—!

‘Isn’t it going to fall apart like this?’

There are no signs of that yet, but

No matter what kind of building it is, if this kind of shaking continues, it won’t last long.

It was an earthquake that even split the ground.

There was no chaos with things falling everywhere.

The vase on the shelf falls and the candlestick rolls on the floor.

Fortunately, it was daytime so the candles were extinguished.

Otherwise, the fallen candle would have caught fire.

‘But that doesn’t mean things are okay now.’

Kamiel had already collapsed a long time ago.

Next to him, Lee Ho was doing his best to guard.

When I thought about it, I could understand Lee Ho’s position.

An item that the person who treats as its owner considers important is in danger of being damaged.

I thought Kamiel would sacrifice his whole body to protect it, even if it was just him.

I understood his position.

‘by the way… It’s not really going to collapse, is it?’

I looked at the ceiling with anxious eyes.

The violently shaking ceiling was extremely dangerous.

If that thing collapses, neither you nor Lee Ho will be safe.

‘What on earth is going on?’

I couldn’t hide my feelings of embarrassment at this unexpected situation.

Even though he was anxious for a while, Lee Ho stood up as if he had found something to do.

“Now, please wait a moment! I’ll go right away and find out what’s going on… ”

thud—-!

It was a vibration that made you wonder if it could split the world.

It’s not loud, but it’s a heavy and powerful blow.

With that one blow, the earthquake that had made Camiel’s heart tremble stopped for a short period of time.

“… Is it over?”

Lee Ho muttered blankly.

He also seemed nervous, wondering if there would be another earthquake.

However, perhaps it was really the end and there were no more earthquakes.

* * *

Quagwang—!

Dozens of ice crystals and black clouds opposing them created a roar.

Before I knew it, the hall had been reduced to rubble.

This was all a scene created by a father and daughter.

“Leasian. Even if you have somehow gained strength, it is not enough to defeat me. How about we stop?”

“Father. You talk a lot about miscellaneous things, but it looks like you’re running out of steam.”

It was exactly sarcasm.

Lepurn stiffened with a slight frown.

“I didn’t mean to put that guy on you. You’re even using curse words you didn’t use before.”

“You don’t use it? What do you pretend to know about me?”

“… … .”

Reasia responded with sarcasm but fired back with a stronger attack.

But even if I pretended otherwise, it was inevitable that I would fall behind my father.

‘What should I do with this?’

It was an impossible gap to overcome at once.

Honestly, I had the feeling that my father was looking after the current situation.

However, being pushed back little by little means that when both sides are serious about it, the nature of the confrontation will be clear.

‘Is there no other way… .’

If we continue like this, it will not be proper rebellion.

It was something I couldn’t afford to lose, even if it was just to make a big contribution to my father.

Therefore, Rheasian tried hard to think of a number, but he could not think of any sharp numbers.

‘I just can’t attack myself… no. no. for a moment.’

Soon a faint smile appeared on her lips.

“Huh?”

Lepuren’s eyebrows twitched.

‘What are you trying to do?’

He tried to play around with his daughter’s continued provocations and then put an end to it.

However, because the offensive was surprisingly significant, I thought it would end at this point.

however… There’s something strange about Rheasian’s behavior.

‘Why are you going this way…? ‘

His doubts were soon answered.

“Ugh!”

“… … !”

A black cloud that stands tall and stands still.

But that wasn’t the problem for Lepuren.

“Leasian!”

“Ha… ha… .”

Rheasian is continuously exhaling through the dispersing black fog.

She was bleeding from the corner of her mouth as if she had suffered an internal injury.

It was because I jumped to my feet in response to my father’s attack.

Lepuren immediately released his attack and ran away.

This was a situation beyond his calculations.

It was something that shouldn’t have happened.

‘How did I get it… .’

Even this is being taken away?

That was absolutely unacceptable.

“Leasian, it’s okay… ”

“Yes. I’m fine… Oh, ”

Phew!

The sound of the stretched out pieces resounds softly.

Leasian looked at his father with eyes that showed no sense of danger at all.

His father was staring blankly at him with a cold spear stuck in his chest.

“Le, Asian… .”

“You knew. But why did you do that?”

“… Understand. So,”

“It is impossible to be disappointed like this.”

puck! Rheasian’s new model collapsed with a heavy impact sound.

Lepuren looked at his fallen daughter and silently pulled out the spear stuck in her heart.

Cough… … .

The corners of his mouth were stained with blood.

Even though blood was dripping from the tip of the spear he was holding, his reaction was calm.

He didn’t seem to care much

Could it be that no damage occurred?

no. Rheasian’s spear pierced straight through his heart.

No matter how much the Larun people are, they were only one life before that.

It was natural to die if the source of life was damaged.

so… If Lepureun continues like this, he will die.

‘There is a way to survive… . but.’

That wasn’t something to write to yourself.

My one and only wife. It is for Saruna.

Was it stupid?

‘no… Does not matter.’

Rheasian’s target was already known before he even walked here.

Nevertheless, the attack was allowed without any preparation?

That’s right… .

‘Because I wanted to believe it just once.’

The only daughter he has never trusted, just like his wife.

Even if someone criticizes me, saying, “What are you doing now after all you’ve done?”

He could say that he did what his heart told him to do.

‘If you had any affection for me at all.’

If so, at least my heart wouldn’t have been pierced.

To think that he did it without knowing anything, Rheasian was too old to know.

His daughter is not stupid enough to not know that the heart is a vital organ.

So it was because the child didn’t know yet.

Such thoughts were nothing but meaningless self-consolation.

‘I am… Was abandoned by everyone. My parents, the elders of my tribe. to everyone.’

They are even deprived of their race’s unique rights.

I was left alone in a remote mansion.

What he chose to have.

Saruna and Rheasian were the only ones.

‘and… ‘I wasn’t even chosen by you today.’

I knew it to some extent.

However, as of today, it has become irreversible.

‘Since when did it start? … .’

From the moment he was born, he was abandoned by everyone.

To me, the world felt dull no matter how colorful it was.

Then one day.

Except for one person I met by chance.
