episode_0478

“For a murderer who kills people as if they were eating, he is refreshing.”

Seth, holding my hand, leans towards me with admiration.

Nevertheless, the corners of the eyes were red and swollen.

‘This was Bangora.’

Jules is sleeping with her head resting on Jure’s thigh, with the breeze of the windy meadow as a lullaby.

Jur is stroking Jule and looking at me.

The red-eyed hell that got eaten, and Seth standing next to me.

There were only five people in this meadow.

“Zur.”

There is no answer.

Just looking at me.

It’s as if they’re ignoring it.

“Jul is dying.”

Do you know how much I suffered because of you?

After being raped by a friend, Jules turned dark and became a heterosexual.

Thanks to you, I also became a heterosexual person.

“Now I have to let Juul go.”

But Jur takes his eyes off me.

It’s as if he doesn’t like it.

···no. I suggested wrong.

“···Or, would you like to go together?”

Only then does Jur glance at me.

Ironically, I can see jealousy in the eyes looking at me.

You know that too, right?

‘It’s you that this person loves.’

─It’s not me.

“Live in the heart of the person you love. I hope that Jules will be able to love and take care of herself.”

There is no confirmation or approval, but Jur will cross over to Isabelle’s body with Jules.

It was clear that Jur was destined to go to Jules from the beginning.

···It is absurd to think that my life up to this point was all scripted by a servant.

‘Now, this is what you wanted, isn’t it?’

I’m done. Whatever you want.

“Please take care of Juul.”

If Zur leaves, Isabel and Shir will no longer love me unconditionally.

There’s no telling how that will work.

But it wasn’t bad. Both are truly liberated from me.

‘How will we treat Isabelle, who has been freed from the curse, and Rest Day?’

A psychopathic murderer? A boring person?

Will you regret loving me? Or do you hate me?

···I no longer had the confidence to face Isabel and Sir.

Even though I knew it was a fake love.

So, even though we were distant, I fell in love with him.

I mistakenly thought they loved me.

I am nothing.

“Uncle.”

···hell.

Hell is grinning at me.

He was playing the Rectalian he had eaten.

“Are you friends with these people?”

“···Yes.”

“Why do humans make friends with hosots?”

“Because we became friends.”

“Hosot is a bad monster that eats people.”

“Don’t judge people by your own standards. It is the environment that makes a person, not himself.”

“···You are on those people’s side too.”

Burnt bones crackle and split.

The red heat seen between the split bones is like seeing charcoal in a fire.

“Okay. You are on those people’s side.”

“···You are just like those hosots.”

Are those eyes only visible to me?

There were only bones left.

Nevertheless, the red eyes of hell are full of joy that borders on madness.

“···What are you talking about?”

Seth’s frowning eyes are full of curiosity.

It seems that Seth can’t see it.

“There is such a thing.”

Before I knew it, I was carrying Jules, who was sleeping, on my back.

Blue eyes turn to me.

A moment’s glance sent to me.

With that look in his eyes, he starts walking somewhere without delay.

Hell, full of madness, also began to run away somewhere.

In the end, only Seth and I were left in this wide, green meadow.

But this plain without Juul is so desolate.

I will soon be separated from the two people who were the goals of my life.

My heart was shaking with sadness.

“···When will I die?”

“To that woman. Within a week.”

“It’s fast.”

“Because I will no longer love you unconditionally.”

And he is murdered by the woman he loved the most.

Isabelle, Jules, and Shir will no longer love me.

And you’re even going to kill me? It’s disappointing, but in some ways even relieving.

Because it means that the two of you can get away from me and start a new life.

“Seth, do you still like me?”

“Yes.”

“Even though he is a married man?”

“What does it matter?”

At the end of the meadow is Suyang Lake.

Shii and I’s house was hanging on the cliff of Suyang Lake.

Next to me is my faithful advisor.

At Daegong Academy, my child and a woman as pure and intelligent as water.

And there is an invisible woman who only looks at me.

I may have lost my life’s purpose, but I haven’t lost everything.

“Make a killing record.”

“Party of killing?”

“I selected all the people of interest who could be an obstacle to Isabel.”

“···Okay.”

I have to do what I have to do until the end.

For Jules.

* * * * * *

I opened my eyes and woke up.

I was covered with a blanket.

Seth had already left, and Isabelle was sitting on the chair next to me.

As I carefully held the sleeping Isabelle’s warm hand as if shaking her hand, her green eyes that had been closed slowly opened.

‘···This person will kill me within a week.’

No matter how much I thought about that scene, I never felt angry or avoided it.

“···Isabel.”

“Yes.”

In most cases, the words are heard properly.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“No. How is your body?”

When I put the blanket aside and stand up, Isabelle looks up at me.

He took Isabelle in his arms and buried her.

Because it’s clear that I won’t be able to hug you anymore.

I hugged him so that there would be no regrets.

“···Vision?”

Then he stood up and put on his armor.

“Where is Anne?”

“I’m sleeping. I’m very tired. Rest a little more.”

You can’t wake up a sleeping person.

“Please take care of Anne.”

“Yes? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Where are you going?”

“You will be king.”

“Yes?”

Jur.

Please allow this person to love themselves.

Help them feel interested in their lives and feel value in their lives through love.

Please help us escape from the bondage of war and love and enjoy our natural lives.

Please help me not to waver whenever I am having a hard time.

Please take good care of your pet, Ratyul.

“······I hope your future will be filled with only warm sunshine.”

A trembling laugh came out.

Pajik!

“Ugh─?!”

It feels like the skin on my back is being torn.

But it escaped without pain… It was like seeing a heroic spirit.

It is translucent and the shape is blurry.

Nevertheless, since I had seen it once, I knew what it was.

Jure, who was carrying Jules, looked at me once and started walking towards Isabelle, who was as frozen as stone.

Does Isabel also have a soul?

“Ah…”

Tears well up in Isabel’s eyes.

that’s right. What Shir and Jules loved wasn’t me in the first place.

We weren’t looking at each other in the first place.

The fact simply surfaced.

The overwhelming feeling of alienation was laughable.

Isabelle lets go of my hand and stands up, slowly hugging Jur, who is carrying Jules.

Jur was embraced by Isabelle and disappeared as if absorbed.

Isabel looks around looking for the missing Jur, then looks at me with her eyes wide open.

“Where did that person just go?!”

“It’s in your body.”

“···Yes?!”

“The person you have loved for 170 years.”

“Yes?! Oh no! Jeon Si-hyeon──”

“It was him that you loved, not me.”

When they realize the truth, their eyes filled with astonishment appear as if they are criticizing me.

It breaks my heart.

‘He didn’t even like me to begin with.’

Don’t think it’s strange.

Jules was too much for me.

“Now love yourself, not me.”

Leaving the frozen Isabelle behind, I stood up and escaped from this narrow temporary shelter.

Seth, who was eating nearby, looks in my direction.

“What happened?”

“I think it went well.”

The sky is already dark.

How long have you been sleeping?

As I relieve the burden on my mind, I feel like I can finally see reality.

“···The Grand Duke Widow said he would kill everyone around me.”

Lexi will protect her father, uncle, and Jean.

But not other people.

“···What kind of place is the Weitburg family?”

“This is a family that made great contributions in the war. So much so that it was acceptable to kill her husband as if she were eating a meal while she was in the position of grand duke.”

We have to find out where she is.

But how? I can’t read that woman’s power.

“Poetry, vision…?”

Isabel came out of the temporary shelter.

It was as if he was scared of something. why?

“Mo, I feel strange.”

“What do you mean?”

“······?!”

A look of astonishment from the side attracts attention.

Seth was looking at Isabelle with his eyes wide open.

“···Wow?!!”

Isabel covers her mouth and spits out something.

Then I froze in a daze, staring at the vomit on my hands.

─Blood?

“Seth? What happened to that? Are you saying this is all what the servant wants?”

“D, the dragon is trying to kill Isabelle! Venus is stopping you…!”

There was great silence.

Before I knew it, everyone at the temporary relief center was looking at Isabelle.

“Please explain! Why are you giving me shit even though I gave you everything you wanted?!”

“It hurts…!”

Isabel sits down and gasps.

Why are you doing this?! What are you going to do with me?!

“Why are you doing such a damn thing!”

“I don’t know either!!!”

“Sigh…what?!”

Blood flows from Isabel’s nose and eyes.

You did everything you asked!

But why are you suddenly acting like this?!

“Servants can’t directly touch demi-humans, right?!”

“That’s right! But…!”

All the dragonia are looking at this place.

Infinitely helpless. With reverence.

Here, I was the only one on Isabel’s side.

─We must prevent the dragon from killing Isabelle.

“Dantalian.”

Now that I am nothing but a shell, what value is left?

···I don’t care if I die. Now you’ve decided to start over.

“Make Isabel your representative.”

The world starts to slow down.

Everyone is. Even me.

Soon, the world stopped.

Soon Dantalian’s voice resonates in my mind.

[You will no longer be my agent.]

know.

[You will no longer be able to see into other people’s hearts.]

I know.

[You will no longer be able to receive my protection.]

I know.

[You may be killed by a dragon.]

doesn’t care.

[That’s stupid.]

···I never thought the day would come when even Dantalian would laugh at me.

[You are more clueless than any agent I have ever met.]

Am I stupid?

Even you, the embodiment of humanity, think that way?

[yes. I really enjoyed watching you portray foolishness.]

···Acting stupidity?

[You were born smart. Nevertheless, it was never an easy path.]

The senses are diminishing.

Ears that could hear from afar, a sense of smell that could smell something that wasn’t a smell, and eyes that could read people’s hearts.

[I’m very sad that I can’t be with you until the end.]

I will kill the Grand Duke Widow. Is it okay if I kill her?

[yes. I respect everyone’s conflict and humanity.]

This is the person you loved, right?

[She loved me. Sia was a delicate person who needed something to lean on.]

Soon, the Dantalian energy I felt began to fade.

[Thank you for your hard work. A foolish devil.]

Time begins to slow down.

I didn’t want to read other people’s minds.

But when I lost that ability, it was like losing my glasses.

As if I had gone blind.

‘Am I going to be killed by a dragon now?’

Why does the dragon want to kill Isabelle in the first place?

Although it was unclear where it was used, it was used anyway.

Isn’t it common to store things like that until it’s time to use them again?

“Uh…?”

Isabelle lets out a low moan and looks up at me.

“Now it’s over.”

“···Yes?”

“Ride on the glory of the temple. You are now the representative of Thirteen Servants.”

I was going to die within a week anyway.

If so, it means that Isabel can become self-reliant even without me.

Because Jur’s soul will allow you to respect and love yourself.

I left Isabel behind and quickened my steps.

“Now, wait a minute!”

I glanced back at Isabelle’s desperate voice.

Asabel, who called me in, opens and closes the conversation repeatedly.

Just for a moment.

“···Why are you sad?”

It was a faint voice.

The somewhat crude question left me speechless.

I looked at Isabelle. A perplexed expression, as if confused by Dantalian’s power.

─It is now.

The only way to leave when applause is coming is now. Anything more than this will only get ugly.

Still, I wanted to leave something to say so that people would remember me.

How many times did I prepare a few words and try to say them out?

“···Because you don’t need me anymore.”

In the end, I let out my true feelings.

Jules, I hope you live a happy life this time.

I left the stunned Isabelle behind and went out of the castle.

I calmed down my overflowing heart.

─You must defeat the Grand Duke Widow.

Now that Dantalian’s power is gone, it is a long way off for me to defeat the Widow Archduke.

However, I don’t want to die at Jules’ hands.

If I were to die at the hands of Jules, I would be so sad when I die.

─So, I plan to be so rough that I die.

Fortunately, Venus’s power still remains in her body.

Even now, we must follow the traces of the Grand Duke Widow.

“Sihyeon Lee.”

“Yes.”

“Take this.”

Seth’s accent changed.

‘It was this kind of voice.’

It is supple and droopy like a cat.

This was because ‘interpretation’ disappeared.

Hearing Seth’s voice like this was also very attractive.

I took the badge Seth gave me and put it on my chest.

‘It’s like throwing away the remaining week of life.’

[Now it’s just us left.]

Hell’s tearing voice was like that of a devil.

The reason the dragon tried to kill Isabelle…is somehow related to hell.

“What have you done?”

[Calm down. Why would the dragon want to kill the white wolf? And why won’t I kill you?]

“I don’t know.”

[It’s all thanks to me? Have you ever thought about what would have happened if a soul filled with anger toward Hosott had been passed on to the white wolf?]

“······!”

I see.

The servant must have been trying to set Jules against Shir.

Because servants can’t stop Shir!

[That’s right! The war was going to start much sooner than you thought! Before you even do anything!]

The corner of his mouth rose.

In the end, I upset their plan again!

They couldn’t take anything from me in the end!

[You have me, the sword of Pluto, and Dantalian’s protection has been bestowed on the white wolf! Now no one can ignore you and the white wolf!]

‘You’re an outsider!’

So the dragon was trying to kill Isabelle!

Don’t let Habstenburg and Junair make peace!

“Haha…! Hahaha!!!”

[how is it?! I feel like I took a hit from those guys—?!]

My feet, which used to feel like weight, become so light.

Gravity seems to have disappeared. If I kick the floor hard like this, I think I can fly all the way to space.

“Thank you. Really…”

─It took about 25 years to get here.

‘It was too long.’

I have reached the present and achieved everything I wanted.

Protecting Shir from Immortals and Zul from the clutches of servants.

It was empty and bitter, but more than that, I was happy.

It was refreshing.

Now, even if I die, I have no time left.

[Our goal does not end with this! You can swing me! Now you can kill servants?!]

Rather than saying that there was no end to death, there was no end to life.

Now I feel like I want to get some rest.

“But they are the managers of the world.”

So much so that even the malice melts away.

─I’m tired.

[The seven servants of the beginning must have been like that! But not a dragon! He’s just a bastard playing with you! He was trying to kill you, but when he saw me, he turned away and ran away?!]

“What is a dragon?”

[It is one of the three servants with absolute nature, created to prevent the corruption of servants.]

I know that they have absoluteness.

However… why is it a dragon?

“Didn’t you hate Lu for burning Laobia?”

[I hate you. But that doesn’t mean I want to see the world end.]

“······Is that so?”

[of course. My family and descendants still live in this land.]

I thought you were a revenge-crazed monster.

A feeling of relief remains and excites my heart like mania.

I feel like I drank too many refreshing drinks.

“Thank you.”

[okay! What are you going to do now?!]

“I will kill the widow Grand Duke.”

[ah! That mean woman!]

“Do you know the Grand Duke Widow?”

[We know! That bitch is the woman who broke the core of the Union alliance by making us die. I killed my friend with my own hands, and my family with my own hands.]

Judging from the way he spoke, it seemed like hell was the intersection of the dead.

Suddenly a question arose.

“Is there someone inside you that I killed?”

[They forgave you.]

I was dazed.

Forgiveness?

How can you forgive me?

I took away their family and friends.

“···Is that so?”

[Because I understood you as well as I did. And I know where that bitch is.]

“······I’m sorry.”

[Don’t apologize. I get angry when I receive an apology, so I will never forget it and suffer for the rest of my life. That is the condition on which we forgive you.]

“······Yes.”

Black water like oil flows from the slice of hell carved into my hand.

It started to clump together like slime, and soon it turned into a rotten swamp hell that engulfed Jenny and Johnny.

The mouth of hell opens and hundreds of hidden eyes are revealed.

[I will lead the way.]

“Wait.”

Hell is looking at me

“First you need to get the supplies.”

A ‘tail’ was crawling before my eyes.
