The footless hell repeatedly stopped and led me ahead at the speed of a streetwalker.

    Thanks to this, I couldn’t take my eyes off the street.

    [We want revenge.]·

    [The bitch who killed my husband. Killed my father, my friend, and my mother…]

    Hell continues to mutter, as if there has been an ego split.

    I can’t listen.

    “Where is she?”

    [excuse me! It’s over there!]

    It’s as if he’s urging me on.

    The hell that clings to me has legs, and the eyes inside its open mouth are constantly looking around.

    “What are you going to do with her?”

    [I’m going to eat it! Chew it! Tear it up! Crush it! every!!!]

    “What are you going to use by accepting the person who killed you?”

    [Accept it?! no! We’re just curious why she killed us.]

    “Can you understand if you eat it?”

    [I can understand. I can understand!]

    Hell smiles and moves forward.

    [So eat it.]

    “Yes?”

    [Eat that bitch alive. Chewing on the face and breaking the bones…!]

    Eat people?

    “Aren’t you asking me to make it painful?”

    [that’s right! Painfully!]

    “The scars will disappear with death.”

    [What are you talking about?]

    “There is no meaning. She is a difficult opponent to begin with.”

    Hell shuts up.

    The excitement seemed to have been broken.

    How far could we have progressed in silence?

    [This cave.]

    ‘I can’t believe there’s a cave in a place like this.’

    The entrance was blocked by vines and such, so it looked like it would be difficult to find even if it were Hosot.

    We don’t know how many people will be inside.

    All I know is that the Grand Duke Widow is in here.

    I stuffed the ‘prepared items’ into the barrel of my gun and carefully stepped into the cave.

    The first attack in a cave is the most dangerous.

    Because when you turn your back on the light, that’s when your eyes are darkest.

    Jump and jump…

    Footsteps are heard.

    The moment when the gun is pointed towards a place where there are signs of popularity.

    I realized a strange fact.

    ─The muzzle is pointed at my face.

    And I pull the trigger.

    Break!

    “Kwaaa of of no

    “I don’t know how they found this place, but they must have come to die.”

    Grand Duke Widow…!

    Fragments of shattered teeth and blood flow from between the torn cheeks.

    The accumulated tears block my eyes, so I can’t even see the widow Grand Duke’s face.

    “I can’t understand how you can refuse Dantalian’s blessing.”

    The hand moves toward the air rifle that was arbitrarily thrown away.

    “It’s an amazing weapon. Is it like Yeonno?”

    The Grand Duke Widow lifts the air rifle and examines it.

    Soon she handed me an air gun.

    “I was a talented woman who worked in sericulture.”

    I was handed a gun by the Grand Duke and pointed the gun at my forehead.

    My hands moved randomly. Like a marionette.

    “Actually, it was my whole life. That’s probably why my power has the shape of a thread.”

    “What do you want to say?”

    “Dantalian’s power projects your life. You… were wary of the servant’s power and hated the servant. That’s why you were able to reject the servant’s power, but there was no substance in your life.”

    ···There is no substance in my life?

    My life, my self-realization, was about saving two white wolves.

    That was it from the beginning.

    The Grand Duke Widow, who does not know this, smiles.

    “I may not be able to avenge Harold, but I may be able to destroy something precious to the traitor. That bitch will find your head in this life.”

    The Grand Duke Widow moves his fingers.

    Accordingly, my finger slowly pulls the trigger.

    “Goodbye.”

    Push!

    Air leaks out of the gun’s muzzle instead of bullet casings.

    “······?”

    The Grand Duke Widow looked dumbfounded.

    There is no way that woman knows about reloading.

    “···What is it?”

    The Grand Duke frowns and takes the air rifle from me.

    “K, keuhuh…!”

    You can put your eyes into the muzzle of a gun and touch the valve connected to the air tank.

    Puhwaak!!!

    “Aaagh!!!”

    A released valve swims like an earthworm.

    The Grand Duke Widow was so surprised that he fell on his butt.

    “Hahaha! There are no monkeys!”

    “Profit!”

    It seems like his judgment was distorted when he saw my smiling face.

    The Grand Duke of Widow took out a silver sword.

    “You’re carrying a mediocre weapon!”

    “You carry a primitive weapon.”

    ” Cut open your stomach and commit suicide.”

    The hand, as if it were not mine, silently goes towards the silver sword thrown by the widow Grand Duke.

    The blade, sharpened like a scalpel, began to gently cut into my stomach.

    Because it was a familiar pain, I could not change my expression one bit.

    The Grand Duke Widow’s eyes also look like their anger has cooled down a bit.

    “It’s strange.”

    “What is it?”

    “You were also Dantalian’s representative, so you should know what his power is. Didn’t you ever think that you would die like this?”

    “I was guessing.”

    “Then why did you come?”

    “Because it doesn’t matter if I die.”

    Sigh!!!

    The peritoneum is torn and the intestines spill out from the abdominal pressure.

    My face gets hot from the pain and the strange feeling of my stomach being empty.

    The Grand Duke of Widow was looking down at me.

    “···Does it matter if I die?”

    “Didn’t you say with your own mouth that I have no reason to live?”

    I want to rest now.

    That doesn’t mean I wanted to die, but I didn’t care if I did.

    “In that case… Cough!”

    The widow Grand Duke began coughing repeatedly.

    ‘I can finally lift it.’

    ─Poisonous radish made by burning the hair of a tailed snake.

    I had brought it with me so that we could die together in case something like this happens.

    Because the ‘curse’ of those who have received Dantalian’s blessing is absolute.

    “What have you done…cough! Cough!!”

    “I’m not as stupid as you think! ···Cough!”

    The fur of the tailed snake is extremely toxic.

    So much so that even a single sip can lead to death for everyone.

    It was burned to make the particles finer.

    “Krrr to! ”

    The widow Grand Duke collapsed, clutching his neck.

    The poison that seeps into the lungs travels throughout the body through the heart.

    The Grand Duke Widow will die within two minutes.

    no.

    Judging by the way it foams, it seems like it will take just 1 minute.

    ‘This person was just an ordinary woman.’

    Even if it were me, the situation would be no different, but I have a set.

    [If I had stepped forward, it wouldn’t have been this difficult.]

    “This is a curse…! The moment you pull the trigger…! You too will fall into hell like me…”

    “You guy…cough──!”

    But this was absolutely necessary to avoid the ‘curse’.

    To make the Grand Duke Widow think that I am dying.

    “We are going together…! Cough! Hehehehe―─?!”

    “Cough!!! Wow! Big!!!”

    The extremities of the foamy Grand Duke’s body tremble.

    The face was already purple.

    If you continue like that, you will die within 20 seconds. Izzy must have already lost it.

    “Herol···de······.”

    You can avoid the ‘curse’ now.

    Finally, when she took her last breath.

    “Sess…! Now…!”

    Hahahahahaha!

    A sound of air leaking that can only be heard at the entrance of a cave.

    It was the sound created by the pressure difference created as space was torn apart.

    The body falls into a portal created on the floor, and the feeling of floating and falling dominates the body.

    puck!

    After hitting my head on the floor, the first thing I saw was Seth’s green eyes.

    But those eyes were not directed at me.

    “What…! Sihyeon Lee! Hang in there!”

    She was staring into space.

    “Cough!”

    I’m suffocating!

    I wish I could get treatment quickly…!

    “What on earth are you doing…?!”

    Those were strange words.

    As I followed Seth’s gaze in the air, there stood a strange demihuman I had never seen before.

    ‘···I’ve seen it before.’

    It’s a dragon. A dragon carved on a stone statue in a temple.

    It looks like a Rectalian, but that one is a real ‘dragon’.

    It looks a lot less evil than a statue, but it’s a dragon.

    The dragon was looking down at me with eyes full of anger.

    That anger is so delightful.

    “···Pick it?”

    “Thanks to you, many people will die.”

    “···Choose it.”

    “You must die.”

    “···Do you want to choose it?”

    The dragon looking at me laughs viciously.

    “Okay. Pick.”

    Even though I am dying, my mind becomes clear due to the joy.

    “Cough! Big…!”

    “···Vision?!!”

    “Then… I won…?”

    My eyes darken.

    My body stiffens and becomes extremely cold.

    Still, it’s just fun.

    Because it was my first victory to commemorate.

    I was just as happy as when I won my first sum from Dennis.

    “There is no next life for you.”

    “No need…”

    I can feel the hell gathering on the back of my hand writhing.

    [You can’t die yet.]

    I’ve already died once.

    [You should take revenge with me!]

    To what?

    [To that guy who put you and the people around you like this!]

    But I already won?

    I see Isabel running from afar.

    There must be Anne somewhere, but I can’t see her anymore.

    “City…?! If it’s porridge… it’s not… ”

    Even my ears started to ring.

    ···It’s over now.

    Even though I am truly standing on the edge of death, why is my mind so relaxed?

    I hugged Isabelle, who was shedding tears.

    I can’t hear anything anymore.

    “···You can do it without me.’

    Soon, I couldn’t even hear the words I was saying.

    ‘Please take care of Anne.’

    Nevertheless, he spoke out his last words with all his might.

    All five senses are lost, and sensation is narrowed from the extremities of the body to the brain.

    slowly.

    ‘···This is death.’

    It’s like I’m trapped inside my own head.

    Even my head is getting cold.

    Have my last words been heard?

    My will and request is…

    ·

    “Sihyeon.”

    “Huh? Why?”

    what? What do you think you were thinking?

    Jules hugs me and pulls me to sit on his lap.

    ‘Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.’

    “Human vital points are not only the heart, blood vessels, and tendons.”

    “It’s the most efficient.”

    Jules smiled and shook his head.

    “There are other places too. For example here.”

    Pretending to tell me a vital spot, Jules poked my side.

    “Ugh~?!!!”

    The body twists arbitrarily.

    I couldn’t help but scream from the immense pain.

    “Remember where you pressed. It’s the ribs on the side from the top of the side to below the nipple.”

    “The right side has the liver, and the left side has the stomach and spleen.”

    “Something! Aaaagh―──?!!”

    Jules giggles and plays mischievously.

    I blocked that hand with all my might and pushed it away.

    “You know where it is, right? If your fist sticks here, your body will stop. If you get stabbed, you can never survive.”

    “Ahhh…! My body stops?”

    “Okay. Like someone who got hit in the chin. I don’t have any strength.”

    Does that mean the power goes out?

    But it is only a temporary shock.

    “···That doesn’t mean you die.”

    “The purpose of battle is not to kill the opponent. Neutralizing the opponent is important. If you fall into that kind of animal-like aggression, you won’t be able to see these vital points again.”

    “···The person who just taught you how to kill is saying that again?”

    “I told you to use it as a card that you can draw out when you are in danger.”

    Jules smiles warmly and buries me in his arms.

    “You are doing well. But that’s it. I am worried that you may be taking human life too lightly.”

    “I have never done that.”

    You take human life lightly.

    I’m not a psychopathic killer.

    “Keep in mind. The blood of beasts flows through the bodies of all demihumans. But a ruler who walks in the forest can suppress his instincts.”

    Suddenly the blood of animals flows into a person’s body.

    ‘···When I think about it, I think it’s true.’

    The ruler of humans is rich.

    But didn’t they say that human heart comes from the treasure?

    Rich people are surprisingly kind-hearted and generous.

    “Need to know. All demihumans are castrated wolves who think they are sheep. Watch your instincts. Anyone can turn back into a wolf, depending on the situation, whether intentionally or willingly.”

    “I know.”

    “Yes.”

    Today, Jules’ embrace was unusually warm and comfortable.

    Is that why? I am slowly getting drowsy.

    “If that’s you, then it must be like that.”

    ······I want to sleep for a little while.

    I buried myself in Jules’ arms and closed my eyes.
