Life is promised death as soon as it is born.

What is death? Life’s destination? Or does it simply exist as the opposite of alive?

It was a very difficult story. Since there is no one who has experienced it, it can be said that there are very few people who understand it.

Then, let’s do the substitution.

If being born is a meeting, then dying can be called a separation.

But now I wasn’t talking about such a gentle story of life and death.

Okay, then this was the most appropriate story.

Surviving the war meant victory, and dying meant defeat.

This does not mean that the death of all life is defeat, but it is true that when it comes to war and fighting, death means defeat.

Therefore, everything that dies here and now can be said to have been defeated.

But I was different.

Even if I die, I can start over, so I was able to shatter that premise and start from the beginning.

The sword that broke my ribs went right into my heart.

I felt like a vein in my eye was bursting from the pain, and I felt my heart pounding and then stopping.

Even though my muscles felt like they had hardened and turned into rocks, my body was screaming.

My nerves were crying out as they tried to do their job.

It hurts, it hurts. it hurts.

I think I’m going to die.

No, he’s dead. He’s dead.

My heart stopped.

But I could think.

Because my heart would beat again.

In this world, I was Veronica. An immortal being who does not die even if he dies.

Yes, I was a saint who never dies.

That’s why I fight as much as I can.

It was impossible to swing a sword with great strength like Kylon, to hit an enemy quickly and hard like Linda, to stab a vital point in an instant like Agnes, or to manipulate the weather at will like Flora.

However, there are some things that they cannot imitate me, so I guess that can be said to be my individuality.

“Cough!”

“Bero, Nica… ”

Blood was pouring out of my mouth.

The taste of blood filled my mouth and my vision turned red.

But he wasn’t dead, so his senses that had gone away were coming back and causing him vivid pain.

Even though I didn’t move much right away, I felt like my muscles were already aching.

Kwajak, push shoo shoo.

The magic sword was embedded in my body and glowing, perhaps because of its power.

It’s okay, if you can just pray, if you can push your own back, it’s okay.

Thinking like that, he opened his mouth, revealing his blood-stained teeth.

It was very difficult to tell whether it was because my heart was cut and my lungs were torn as well.

“Kek, Boo, Ta, Ora, La.”

I couldn’t breathe in and spit out the words, so I could barely spit out the words using only the oxygen I had in my mouth.

I lowered my red-tinted vision and struck the magic sword embedded in my body with my fist.

Actually, I wanted to hit him hard, but I couldn’t because I felt like it would hurt me even more. Even if I hit him hard anyway, I wasn’t that strong, so I just hit him gently and closed my eyes.

Hwarak.

“Four years… !”

A blue flame blooms from deep within the body.

I frowned at the flame. And across from me, I glared at the demon king who was looking at me with displeasure.

“Good. I’ll kill you first, rather than the foolish bastard who pointed the sword at me first… !”

While he seemed to be speaking leisurely, a breathing sound as if he was holding back pain could be heard.

Crack. The great sword was pulled out of my body, and at the same time, the bones and organs that supported me were thrown out of my body.

I felt like I was going to throw up. My body stumbled and then I stared blankly at the internal organs coming out and rolling on the mud floor.

“Hi.”

“… … .”

I felt like my hair had turned white.

Doesn’t the Demon King’s expression look like that of someone who is severely shocked?

Yes, no matter how much he is a demon lord, he probably doesn’t look that different from a human.

“What on earth are you doing…? ”

Cluck, cluck.

After some time, my body began to cry.

As if everything goes back, scattered organs come back, broken bones are put back together, and torn skin is filled as if a blade had never touched it.

The pain remained, but the wound did not remain.

“… B.”

I stopped Kailon, who was exhausted after fighting like crazy.

Who is ‘I’?

“I… ”

Although she was Veronica, she lived the life of Veronica, but she could not become Veronica.

I have always been myself, so I had no reason or ability to replace Veronica.

But if things go on like this, Han Ji-min will be nowhere to be found.

So I am.

“… I am a saint who never dies.”

I said that I could define myself with that.

I don’t like it now, but that’s how I defined myself as a person with an immortal body given to me by a god.

The blue flame that engulfed the Demon King fiercely tried to consume him.

However, the Demon King, who withstood the flames and gritted his teeth, took a stance in the blue flames and swung the Demon Sword.

“The seed of this damn goddess!! Slave!! Me who dares to pursue freedom!!”

The magic sword radiated purple light.

Inside, I let out a trembling breath and immediately gripped the dagger tightly and placed it on my wrist.

Please die.

He shouted as soon as he did so.

“Burn up! The enemy in front of me… !”

Quack!

My vision changes in an instant.

It was like looking at the screen of a thrown camera.

Still, it didn’t stop.

When I returned to normal, I opened my mouth.

“Burn evil and evil! Ugh… !”

The lungs were crushed. After that, a thick chunk of iron pierced through my body, digging into my chest and crushing my ribs.

I felt a burning pain as my body exploded with a purple glow.

But even that couldn’t kill me, so I just stood up.

it hurts. But, I can still bear it.

Because from the beginning, from the beginning of this journey, I have been suffering.

I can endure this level of pain.

During the fight, after a blow to the head, the adrenaline rush made me feel less pain.

So I may be more reckless, but I can still win. Since I wasn’t going to lose, it was okay to be reckless again and again.

The moment he was neutralized here, Kylon would become the next victim, so that had to be prevented.

Even though blood poured from my eyes and my mouth, I got up again.

Even if his leg was cut off, he could get up again, and even if his hand was cut off, he could hold a dagger again.

In fact, even if he didn’t hold the sword, he could create flames from the wound he would inflict again.

it hurts. it hurts.

But, I can bear it.

I comforted myself like that several times, burning out the intense pain.

But, why doesn’t he die like this? My gaze trembled from the nervousness.

“You cockroach-like bitch!!”

The enraged Demon King gritted his teeth, grabbed his sword tightly, and split my body with light.

Ah, maybe a blue flame won’t work?

Is evil itself too powerful to be purified through sanctification?

Now my clothes were torn to shreds, so there was no cloth to cover my body.

Even though I was naked, rather than feeling ashamed, I could only think of a way to overcome this situation right away.

Anyway, you expected that if you died several times during the war, you wouldn’t have any clothes left.

So I had to expect something different now.

Traces of burns were visible all over his body, hoping that his body, which had been split in half, would return to its original state.

The moment I opened my eyes and looked at it, I was convinced that I needed stronger strength.

light. I needed the light that was shot that day.

But how?

The flame was made possible by faith, but isn’t the light entirely the power of God?

What kind of strength do I need to develop to overcome this crisis at this moment?

The moment I wished that, there was a strong feeling in my heart.

Because I want to protect someone, I have no hesitation in harming someone.

Even if it is me, I am determined to endure.

burned the blood Because it was holy water. It was because it was holy blood.

But if that’s not enough, there’s only one thing I can burn.

It was my body.

I didn’t know it because I wasn’t conscious of it, but I was a priest and a saint.

The body was clearly something special, not ordinary.

It meant that even if it was not comparable to a god, it had the body of a god’s first seed.

I don’t have the power to borrow from God, but I thought that if I could start a fire with a prayer to myself through the Precious Blood, then something else would be possible.

I muttered, deciding to burn what was left of the Eucharist.

What I needed now wasn’t a blade or anything.

At this moment, I define who I am.

In the meantime, no one’s intervention is accepted.

And at the same time, I was struggling to stand on my own without God’s help.

“I, I hope.”

To whom is the prayer addressed?

god? No, me. I hope I overcome this moment.

I know that it’s just will, and that you don’t have to say it, but there are times when you have strength just by saying it out of your mouth.

Clap.

I walked forward, naked and without any shoes.

The Demon King’s magic sword flew towards my body in an instant.

I didn’t have to worry about getting my hands cut off, my feet, or my head being cut off like before.

If you ask me why, I feel like it’s just instinct.

Quad deuk.

“!”

With just one prayer, I instantly had clothes to cover my naked body.

Since the clothes were made of flames, they simply blocked the view of the surroundings, but for now I was satisfied with that.

“I hope I can achieve everything on my own, without anyone’s help.”

I don’t need any help from God.

I didn’t need to wish for my sense of taste to disappear because I was eating spoiled bibimbap and expired triangular kimbap. I didn’t want to get sick, and I didn’t need to wish for a body that wouldn’t die just because I was worried that I might get beaten to death at any time.

I opened my eyes because now I just wanted a peaceful life.

A golden glow filled the world, and after that, all the blue flames turned golden and engulfed the Demon King.

“Damn… ”

The demon king’s body was crackling, crackling, turning to ashes.

“This world is a world created by the disgusting puppets of Goddess Year! Do you think that the freedom you think of is real? It’s all an illusion!”

“… I know.”

My body is hot.

pain.

Right now, I wondered if that demon lord was feeling the same way as me.

I had just recently come up with the crazy idea of burning myself and the other person, but even though it was effective, I was glad I had thought of it only now.

The burning sensation in my body was enough to make me think that stabbing myself with a knife would be much better.

“So there was a time when I thought, I wish this world would burn down too.”

“… her. It’s an open mouth… ”

The world I lived in and the world I live in now.

Actually, that’s what I wanted to burn. That’s what I wanted to say.

pain. I cried.

And within that, a hand reached out to save me.

This fire is burning my body, so even if I call it salvation, it just came to save me. It only made me feel happy about that fact, but that was enough.

The Demon King uttered a curse and disappeared into ashes, and the flames that had been eating my body died down and slowly began to reveal my naked body again.

The moment I was hugged by Kailon, I saw Kailon’s expression.

“Veronica, I’m sorry. It hurt… ?”

These were words addressed to me, who had fought in his stead and died many times.

So I smiled and answered.

“… Let’s go home.”

your house. And my house.

To a home where we can be together.

Now I’m just going to pass this pain off as a dream.
