A vision of darkness where consciousness is obscured.

“Ah… ”

Llewen was startled by the voice that came out in that state.

That’s because he, who was clearly dead, spoke in a very normal voice.

Llewen’s eyelids, which had been closed to understand the situation, slowly open.

My vision, which had been filled with darkness, slowly filled with color as I welcomed the world.

The scene that soon entered her field of vision was different from when she lost consciousness.

I could see the trusty hand embracing me and the cold, sunken mouth and eyes.

The appearance of a young man.

Lewen, who immediately realized the identity of the young man, spoke.

“… Kariel?”

The young man, Kariel, slowly turned his head at Llewen’s call.

The corners of the mouth, which had been sunken just now, drew a soft curve into a smile, and the eyes also turned warm.

“Are you okay, saintess?”

“Uh… What happened to me?”

Obviously dead.

There was no way to survive if the heart stopped completely.

Even for Saint Llewen, this was impossible.

However, he is still alive and well.

Llewen could not possibly understand such facts, so she asked Kariel.

What on earth did you do to save yourself?

Instead of answering, Kariel answered the question with a smile.

Llewen, who was looking at him with puzzled eyes, widened her eyes at the feeling that was different from usual.

“No way… ”

Kariel had just realized what he had done.

Lewen strongly tapped Kariel’s chest.

Kariel’s chest, which was struck by her fist, seemed to have failed to control her strength this time, making a thumping sound. This is because what Kariel did was reckless and dangerous.

“What the hell! What were you thinking like that!”

Lewen could not calm down her anger at what Kariel had done.

That’s right, because what Kariel did was to hand over her soul to Llewen.

It would be impossible for an ordinary soul, but he was a warrior chosen by the goddess and had a special soul.

Additionally, since his soul was already connected to some extent with Llewen, it was possible to remove part of his soul and pass it on to Llewen.

As a result, he prevented her death by handing over her soul, and healed her wounds with divine power.

It’s simple to say, but in fact, the probability of success is extremely low, and even if it does, the pain of tearing off part of one’s soul is too painful to describe.

Moreover, since you have to not only remove it but also hand it over to someone else, there is no time to be immersed in pain.

In a word, one must suppress the pain of having one’s soul ripped out and hand over the torn soul to the other person. At this time, a single mistake cannot be tolerated, so the probability of success is virtually zero.

However, Kariel endured the pain of having her soul ripped out and handed over her soul to Llewen, saving her.

“Why on earth! Why is it like that!”

Having one’s soul ripped out was not simply a matter of pain.

In fact, there was a disturbance in one’s essence and source.

But tearing it down and handing it over to someone else?

Llewen was so angry at this crazy act.

What if you did something like that and it went wrong?

What if your concentration wanders even once?

You die without moving.

It was a very risky thing to touch the soul.

“Tell me something! Why is that happening?”

Lewen bowed her head. The lowered head touched his chest.

Lewen hit his chest even harder and shouted as if she was venting her anger.

What if he died trying to save himself.

He probably wouldn’t have been comfortable even if he died.

Because I love and affection for him that much.

I couldn’t understand his choice at all.

So I kept asking.

Why did you make that choice?

He continued to vent his anger and ask.

Kariel answered him.

“I like the saint.”

Lewen pursed her lips at that one word.

Because it was a very unexpected answer.

“I really like the way he doesn’t hesitate to sacrifice himself for others and the smile he smiles for others. How could you not like it? You, my benefactor and the one who embraced me more than anyone else.”

Kariel spoke again.

“You are the person who is more precious to me than anything else. I realized this too late. I already had you in my heart, but without realizing it, I ran away and met people who could be called family. But we lost them.”

Lewen slowly raised her head.

I turned to face Kariel, who had a faint smile on her lips.

“When I came back in such a state of madness for revenge, the saint comforted me instead of scolding me. I would be sadder, more frustrated, and more angry than anyone else. You didn’t ask anything. Instead, he gave me an undeserved amount of affection.”

Kariel’s rough, rough hands carefully brushed Llewen’s hair.

“I wasn’t aware of it at the time. Although it is late, I dare to say it because I have realized it now. That I love you. To me, you are the person who is more precious and loved than anyone else.”

He took a deep breath.

He soon exhaled again and spoke.

“That’s why I saved you. How could I let you, my benefactor and lover, die? So Lwen. Please wait a moment. I will finish everything and speak to you formally once again.”

After saying that, Kariel slowly stood up.

Only then, after being freed from his arms, was she able to see the situation properly.

Keekeeek!

The sight of a monster running rampant while looking in this direction.

However, it seemed like he couldn’t move properly because he was bound by something.

Kariel slowly began to approach the monster.

It was as if I was seeing a prince that I had only seen in fairy tales when I was a child.

Lewen muttered softly as she watched Kariel moving further and further away.

“Fool… ”

Although it was full of complaints, it was also full of affection.

***

Kariel slowly approached the monster.

It was a gentle step, but the pressure emanating from him was more intense than ever.

Hehehe!

Seeing Kariel like that, the monster tried to escape somehow.

This is because the approaching figure with such a huge presence was too scary to be considered a mere human being.

But the monster could not escape.

This is because the barrier created by the entity approaching him blocked the monster.

In fact, the only remaining option is to collide.

The monster turned its body and looked at Kariel approaching.

Tweet

You die anyway.

In that case, it would be better to fight and hope for the faintest hope.

The monster decided so and rushed towards Kariel.

“… ”

Kariel opened her mouth as she looked at the creepy centipede monster approaching.

“On the topic of bugs, where do they climb?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword of light stabbed down from the air.

It hit the middle of the body of the running monster.

The running monster’s body stopped.

The monster recalled what had happened earlier.

Just like this time, the torso was bound by something.

However, since I was able to escape quickly after struggling, I struggle thinking that I will be able to do that again this time.

But unlike before, it was not easy to escape.

Why on earth?

Before I could ask those questions, the monster-like person in front of me disappeared.

He turned around to look around and found the monster attached to his body.

Keek!

The monster laughed.

This is because he knows that even with a weapon he cannot pierce his own skin.

So I laughed.

I thought that the sword of that being would also bounce off easily.

However, contrary to the monster’s thoughts, the holy sword struck by Kariel penetrated the monster’s skin.

The monster screamed in pain it had never felt before.

Kkkk!

“Shut up.”

This time, the sword of light is pointed towards the monster’s head.

Originally, it would not have been able to pierce properly, but the sword of light pierced the monster’s head, which had been weakened by the influence of the holy sword, and stuck into the ground.

Squeak

A situation where you can’t even scream properly.

Kariel looked at the monster and moved with the holy sword planted in it to inflict maximum pain.

My skin is chapped.

The monster’s body twisted around as it was slowly cut, as if trying to inflict as much pain as possible.

Despite the continued struggles, Kariel did not care.

Rather, the more times that happened, the more pain accumulated.

The monster even thought that it would rather die quickly and feel better, but it was even more resistant to death due to its strong resilience and bug-like characteristics.

The monster was unable to do either this or that and felt only pain until it died.

Kariel pulled out the sword stuck in the monster’s body and quietly came down from the body.

The monster’s body slowly turned to ashes and disappeared, and he approached a woman who was waiting for him.
