＂Kwaaaa!!＂

It is not a pain that a normal person can endure.

The magic power rapidly escaping through a large amount of blood can be felt more clearly.

Gulp.. Gulp..

{horse power – 2}

This terrible feeling that I’m familiar with but can’t get used to at all…

Excited..

The pain literally feels like my heart is being cut out with a knife, and I become delirious.

Strong.. Strong..

The whole body, where the black cracks had spread, could not be moved at will, as if it had a lock on it, as if it wanted something in return.

More than that…

Unlike me a little while ago, where I could make cool-headed judgments… I couldn’t make any normal judgments now.

A sudden rush of complex emotions.

The despair I felt when I lost my Asian sister whom I respected.

The despair of Shumi having to close her eyes in my arms.

This humility that forced me to close my father’s eyes.

It was like a tsunami of painful emotions that someone had suppressed.

My heart becomes weak.

no..

It was a series of hardships so arduous that I couldn’t endure it in the first place.

perhaps..

I began to feel a little more at ease as I thought about how it would be nice to go to my father and sister’s side.

Seuuu.

I give up my will to stand up and close my eyes.

I no longer had the strength to get up or the confidence to hold on.

I wanted to give up everything.

I didn’t want to face this hell-like reality.

Sigh..

Why?

The suction of Belze, which had taken everything from me like crazy, stopped.

And then, seeing Belze’s action of suddenly letting go of the neck he had bitten, he turns his head and looks at her.

＂Be, Belze?＂

Talk..

Belze is crying.

I felt an inexplicable sense of relief knowing that I was not the only one who could not face despair.

Only after consuming blood and magical power did Belze, who was barely able to quell his endless hunger, finally regain his senses.

A dark underground space that feels like my future.

A delicate gaze that shakes like crazy.

Belze’s sobs can be heard more quietly.

Tap.. tap..

He was quietly lowering his head, biting his trembling lip, shedding sad tears.

Belze clearly remembered everything he had done.

No words of apology.

I couldn’t come up with any excuses.

The reason he changed like this was because he was manipulated by someone.

I didn’t want to do this.

I couldn’t bear to say such shameless words.

Because I thought that all the words I spoke out of my mouth would not reach Da-heein now, all I could do was shed tears.

Because I had no way or courage to express these miserable feelings…

＂You’re back..＂

A word heard from Da-hein’s mouth, which he thought would be resentful, startles Belje.

Ssss..

Da-hein, who was gently stroking her head, loses consciousness due to exhaustion of magical energy.

{{Collapses due to depletion of magical power.}}

A familiar sound.

Did I have any sympathy for Belze, who killed my family?

In my fading consciousness, unable to understand my own feelings, I remember the images of my loved ones who always welcomed me brightly.

More sadly…

I miss you like crazy.

***

Fight, fight!!

Slippery…

Something tapped the back of Dahyun’s hand where she was sleeping! It starts to wake you up.

＂Uuuuu..＂

The physical pain that feels like cutting all the nerves in my body with a box cutter comes later.

Strong.. Strong..

In addition, severe headaches come incessantly and cause terrible discomfort.

Tuk!! Tuk!!

In this mindless situation, I look at the black slime that keeps touching my hand.

Slippery.?

A small, soft black surface about the size of the palm of your hand.

Something with a flaccid body, like a [slime], started following me closely, rubbing the back of my hand.

Slippery!!

Did he notice my gaze?

The black slime that appeared to be [Slime] extended part of its body like a tentacle and repeatedly stroked my cheek, acting as if it was calling me cute.

＇Could it be you then..?＇

This black slime is clearly a part of the black slime that fell off from Belze’s forearm due to his intensive attack.

Slippery!!

The touch was definitely slippery and cold.

Feeling like I’m missing something… I just close my eyes.

Slippery…

Why?

As this black slime caressed my forehead, the pounding headache began to subside little by little.

Moreover, his vision, which was still blurry, became clear and was improving to the point where he could look around.

＇This is…＇

The silence of the chilly early morning air.

The sound of birds chirping comes from a familiar direction.

Yes. This is my room.

‘How long have you been asleep?’

I force my whole body, which is about to break, to stand up.

Ssss..

Strong!!

As I squeezed my eyebrows together for a moment due to a headache that made my eyes feel dizzy, memories from that time came to mind, one by one.

Even if you want to forget, you once again accept everything that is shocking and cannot be forgotten.

Slippery!

I don’t know when it came up on my shoulder, but the black mucus started to stick to my neck and continue to show off its presence.

＇As expected… my head won’t hurt if you’re next to me.’

Although the recovery speed due to {magic circulation} was faster than that of an ordinary woman, it was not enough to restore a fallen arm or blood-bleeded organs on its own.

Of course, the shoulder that was bitten by Belze.

Even the small external wounds…

I was able to notice that the areas touched by this black mucus were recovering more quickly.

Ssss..

I decided to think about this black slime later and went outside to check the situation.

＇Obviously.. the last time I remember, Belze was back to his senses.’

＇Where is it?＇

Good profit..

As I left the hallway, shocking situations that I could never forget unfolded clearly.

The hallway is already half collapsed.

The red blood turned black and spread throughout the surrounding area, clearly showing the cruelty of that time.

I just… silently walked out and took heavy steps.

Tread.. plod..

Where have the countless bodies scattered in the hallway gone?

Where did Shumi, who should have been in the office, go?

I could roughly guess where Belze was.

Poop.. poop..

The sound of digging into the ground can be heard repeatedly from somewhere outside the village.

I looked out the window of the second floor office…

We were able to see Belze digging up the graves of the village people.

No matter how far she had dug into the ground, her hands were covered in sores and blisters and soaked in red blood.

‘The fog… has cleared.’

The bright, dazzling morning sunlight welcomed me.

How on earth are they digging the ground?

What kind of expression will they look at me?

A reality that I can’t even imagine is gently pushing me away again.

‘I don’t want to face it…’

Not only the village people, but also my friend Belze who killed my father and Shumi.

Even if it is not the result of her doctor’s intervention, it is an unchanging truth that the dead do not come back to her.

After making dozens of tombs all night, Belze returned to the mansion.

Tread.. plod..

I was waiting for her on the first floor.

With so many thoughts.

The bottom line is… I realized that even if I avoid it, everything that has already happened will not come back.

It didn’t take long.

Is it because of this black mucus that sticks to the body??

All the chaotic emotions that had been shaking me like crazy calmed down, and I was able to make more calm decisions.

Sigh..

Belze opens his mouth towards me.

“Kill me with your own hands.”

Even though the wounds were almost crippling, such as nails falling off or flesh being ground apart.

Her body was recovering perfectly, as if denying death. It looks strangely unpleasant.

Belze didn’t say things like, “I’m sorry,” “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me.”

As if he already knew that he would not be forgiven.

Rather, he thought that such words were the same as deceiving the people he killed.

“Do you want me to kill you?”

Even in moments like these… I feel less emotional shaking.

Is this a good thing?

“Is that really what you want to say to me?”

A lot has already been lost. I didn’t want to lose anyone anymore.

Even if that wasn’t the case… I didn’t want to allow death so irresponsibly.

Is it a big deal to make a grave for dead people?

Belze’s actions are just an attempt to justify herself, and her essential sin has not disappeared.

Turf.. plod.. plod..

match!!

I slap Belze hard on the face for saying such irresponsible words.

“Wake!!”

Eyes that are already dead.

Eyes that can’t look at me.

Her trembling body was telling me everything she felt about me.

“it’s hard?”

＂Are you distressed?”

“Do you want to die?”

“Do you want to leave everything behind and be comfortable??”

I look at her devastated and scream harder.

“Even if your actions were not intentional, don’t try to justify them.”

I’m serious.

I was so offended by Belze that he tried to give up.

“Live until the end… remember everyone you killed.”

Just like I have to do from now on…

She too suffered and had to live.

“And we live our whole lives atonement, reflecting on each and every one of them.”

This… was the best and all I could do for her, my last mercy.

Right now, I feel heartbroken and sad, but facing Belze, who is probably feeling even more than that…

I hate you, I’m going to kill you… These words didn’t come out.

Just a feeling of kinship…

I couldn’t leave Belze who felt the same pain as me.

Sigh..

I pat Belze’s head and hug him carefully.

I hope she feels the comfort I couldn’t receive.
