Chapter 3 – Past Part 3
“Uh-geuk… Uh-huh…! Heh… Uh… Cool…! Cool…!”
The blood backflows and spurts out through the mouth.
I feel that several of my ribs have already been broken and my intestines have already burst.
Yes.
That greatsword was not made to cut from the beginning, it was made to break.
Have heard
The name of the greatsword carried by the Red Wolf. 『Bone Breaker』!
Such nonsense…! This…! These powers… Are not human!
Bubbly.
I watch the death god approach with my head raised.
Even if he tried to run away, his limbs were already so weak that he could not even lift a hand.
A burning pain felt all over the body as if shouting to each other that it hurts more.
And the instinctive fear that the prey feels for the hunter.
A clear premonition of death.
“Sa… Save me! Surrender… To the Kingdom of Fenrir! Cool… Cool…! I… I… Am not from the Kingdom of Astraea! I… I am the third son of the Grand Duke of Vinland. !! Save me… Cool…! If you save me… I’ll tell you anything… Anything about the secrets of the principality!!”
Unsightly declarations of surrender spill out of my mouth. A unilateral, non-negotiable declaration of surrender.
It was such a miserable figure that anyone in the principality would look at it with disgust.
“It doesn’t matter though! I don’t want to die like this!”
“Huh? Haha. What are you? Aren’t you from the kingdom of Astraea?
Aricia, who came right in front of her, touched her chin. Golden eyes gleaming with ghost energy pierce me.
“That… That’s right! I’m the third son of Archduke Richard!! An aristocrat…A nobleman of the duchy!! If it’s now, I can count as an unknowing mistake…! Cool…So save me…! I don’t want to die no!”
As if catching a straw, I appeal to her with all my might.
If I reveal my identity, I might be able to live!
However.
“Therefore?”
What came back was a cold word.
“…What?”
“So what value do you have? A weakling. I don’t know if status matters in your country. You’re knocked out in one shot, in my opinion…”
Aricia smirks.
An ominous laugh that made the hairs all over the body stand on end. That look is really. Ghost.
Ah.
Understand right away
The person standing in front of this is not a human.
This monster has no interest in anything other than fighting.
“…Less than garbage. Die.”
When I saw her preparing to strike me down, I closed my eyes tightly without realizing it.
Death is right in front of you.
A moment like a thousand times.
However, no matter how long I wait, nothing happens.
“…?”
When I slowly open my eyes, there is an unexpected sight.
Numerous chains of light rising from the ground were tying Arisia with her sword raised.
It tries to move somehow, but it seems to be overpowering.
“Keugh…! Is it a trap…?!”
As I stared blankly at the bewildered Arisia, I heard multiple footsteps from behind, and the Knights of Light soldiers jumped out and surrounded Arisia, who had fallen into a trap.
“Whew. ExpectedAs it is. It’s a gorilla too. Aricia.”
“Ha. As expected, this is your fault. Kid!!”
“Reina?! How did you get here…? Ah… Ah…! No way…!”
As long as the body doesn’t move, the head turns quickly.
And in an instant, all the puzzles fit together.
A sudden patrol by Reina.
A consciousness that suddenly disappeared after drinking water in the barracks.
Arisia was in the middle of Astraea’s camp.
Aricia, now bound by the chain of light.
And Reina appeared at the perfect timing.
“Yes… Four years!! This meBaitYou used it!”
“Hmm? I guess he’s not just an idiot. Cain, the immoral man of the Principality of Vinland.”
That voice was very cold unlike when we first met.
“How… How dare you!! Even so, you are the leader of the Knights of Light who do justice!! Feed someone you know nothing about with sleeping pills and use them as bait…! Do you think that betraying such a duty will be forgiven…! Cool… Cool..!”
All the guys I met in the Kingdom of Astraea were crazy about the doctrine of the Holy Gwanggyo that shouted justice and duty.
They have a great aversion to cowardice, and always try to do good.
Because of this, I have easily tricked them into traps and profited from them.
So I never imagined Reina would do something like this…!
“You coward…! To King Vincent… To the Goddess of Light…!! Aren’t you ashamed?!”
“…Don’t hasten death, Sir Cain.”
Without blinking an eye at my reprimand, Reina pointed her sword at my throat with cold eyes as if looking at something dirty.
“It would be okay if I just ended my life here, but I want to dispel the misunderstanding that I did something cowardly even to you, who will soon die in the garbage.”
“…What?”
“…You don’t seem to know why Archduke Richard sent you as commander of reinforcements.”
“What is that…? I was cast out from the Principality of Vinland…”
“No, Sir Cain. That’s not it. You came here because I wanted you to.”
“…?!”
“I didn’t mean to force you to send me, but… I sent a letter to Archduke Richard when requesting reinforcements.A wicked man who is good enough to killTo send as reinforcements.”
“…!!”
“I know that there are many unscrupulous people in the Duchy of Vinland who do not live according to the doctrines of the Church of the Holy Ghost. Your father, Archduke Richard, although he does not have the power to control the nobles, he is a trustworthy man who always thinks of his people and tries to do justice. He’s a person. That’s why I sent a letter with such a request.”
“Stand… No way…”
“Yes. You were not sent here simply to match the assortment. You are a bait to give Aricia a shot and at the same time a death row inmate who walked to the execution ground with her own feet. The Archduke is very wise. I thought it was an opportunity to dispose of you, who continues to do things but is difficult to execute publicly because of your position as the son of a grand duke.”
The Doctrine of Seonggwanggyo…!
The only exception to the teaching to be tolerant of everything…!
『Resist injustice at all costs without any forgiveness!』
Yes…
If it’s something like this, even if you trap me and kill me, it won’t go against the doctrine!
“Keuugh… That damn old man!!!”
“Looking at your eyes, you probably didn’t know this either. The soldiers you brought are all prisoners who have committed serious crimes. Of course, it seems that some restrictions were put in place to prevent them from escaping elsewhere.”
“…”
Is it. Did you intend to use us all as bait from the start and throw them away? Am I… Just played by a goddamn inspiration and a play by this rotten whore? I was going to give the old man a shot, but was it me who got hit… Haha… That’s funny…
“Now you know, right? I partially leaked information about the route to surprise the main base to the Fenrir Kingdom army, and this gorilla-like woman snapped it up and attacked our main base. The magic circle was engraved, and just in time for this woman to ambush, the main camp was put to bed with sleeping pills, leaving only you and ignorant sinners in hiding.”
“…”
I lost the energy to reply to the revealed truth.
Rayna’s eyes glowed coldly at that figure.
“Isn’t it necessary to say this far… This is the last mercy of the Goddess. I’ll send you off in peace. Please reflect on yourself in the other world.”
“Hey. You talk a lot. Kid. Didn’t you forget something?”
“?!”
Speculation, swelling in an instant, filled this space.
Alicia’s golden eyes shined strangely. Her body muscles seemed to swell for a moment.
It seems that a creak is coming from the chains that bind her whole body.
It’s a magical chain made of light, so there’s no way I can hear that sound…!
“Impossible…?! Can you break the bondage of light with force?! Chiit. You don’t have to capture it! Kill that woman quickly!”
In a rapidly changing situation, Reina quickly judged and gave her orders. But that urgent order has already lost its meaning.
Kwa-ang!
The moment the chain of light broke and disappeared, two soldiers broke their necks and flew in different directions, each with a lifeless state.
In that ridiculous sight, I realize that the only reason I’m alive is because Aricia watched over me.
“Haha. I’m sure this time I had one shot. Kid. So, is this the welcome party?”
Chains of light continued to protrude from her bottom to stop Alicia, but Alicia erased the rising chains of light with her jet-black greatsword at incredible speed.
So easily. As if nothing had happened!
“Cheet. That’s why we should have taken it down with a single surprise attack…! We retreat to the forest! From now on, we’re moving to Plan Beta!”
Reina makes a quick decision, and blows her body away somewhere.
Even though she had a numerical advantage, she seemed to think that if she and Aricia were to face each other, she would not be able to guarantee a win.
“Hmm. It’s definitely sharp. If I came in now, I could have annihilated them all.”
Aricia, who was looking in the direction where Reina disappeared while turning her wrist and spilling her bloody words, suddenly looked at me.
As if only now she had noticed its existence.
“Come to think of it, from what I’ve heard, you seem to be not only a weakling, but also trash…”
“Keugh… Ugh… Ugh…”
“Don’t tremble like that. This isn’t the time to be dealing with bugs like you. You. I Direct It’s not worth killing.”
Aricia grinned at her and once stomped her foot loudly, making a thump before she disappeared in pursuit of Reina.
Lived…? Did I… Buy it?!
The moment I confirmed that I was free from her death, the feeling I felt was not relief.
Anger.
It was a muddy feeling that welled up from the depths of his heart at the brutal treatment of the women he usually looked down on.
“Heh…Heh… I dare…As if you dare to look at me as a bug…! These bitches…! Wait and see… You must survive… You guys weeping in tears and claiming wrongdoing in front of me I’ll make you dogeza naked!!”
The moment I gave my strength to get up, vowing revenge, I knew the floor was shaking slightly.
“…?”
Curleung…
The trembling quickly grew to such an extent that even the body embedded in the stone floor trembled, and in an instant it split apart and collapsed.
Ah…
It falls into darkness with the collapsing floor.
The light fades away
Even if you desperately struggle with your arms and legs as if you were swimming, there is no use.
After a pointless resistance, I came up with an idea.
Rumor has it that an ancient ruin lies dormant somewhere beneath the Heizen Plain…
◆
How long has it been
At the bottom of hell, I reach for the unreachable light.
But… It doesn’t reach.
The body has already lost most of its functions.
Even the pain that was so intense is gradually disappearing.
The light pouring out of the hole I fell into is also gradually dimming and disappearing.
I… Am dying.
Ah.
Hate.
Hate. Hate.
Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate…!!
Even at the end when everything is disappearing, this feeling grows bigger.
Anger at the damn old man who set me in a trap…
And anger and hatred for the two female prostitutes who are much bigger than that…!!
Yes..!
Reina, who casually tricked me and used me as bait!
Aricia, who treated me like a bug and made me die!
What a hero! Bitches whose duty is to satisfy men by flirting!
I’m not losing! I was just beaten because I was careless because I thought it was a woman!
If I had really prepared myself, I wouldn’t have lost to these bitches!!
Hate and hate
To the extent that my head melts into gooey with hatred!
“I…I…Can’t die like this…Uh…Until I get my revenge on bitches…Anyone…Anyone is fine…Save me…Give me a chance. .. Please buy… Save me…”
These ruins are empty.
No one hears my voice
It was such a futile muttering that it would scatter in the air.
“…Check the command. Treatment systemIs running?”
“…What?”
What just…? Who…? No, hallucinations… Is it?
But it’s a cure…
I know better that it is an incurable condition.
Ruined guts. Broken whole body bones. In a way, being alive is a miracle.
It would probably be difficult even with the best healer on the continent.
Treatment… It’s impossible.
But…But…!
Hallucinations are good too. Even if it’s a demon, it’s okay!!
If only I could live with one…
If only I could get revenge…!
I shouted with the last of my strength.
“…Anything is fine!! Anyone is fine!! I’ll give you anything!! Let me get revenge!! Save me…!”
Help me…! Help me…! Help me…!
A cry like death echoes in the cavity.
It seems like the time I wait for an answer is getting sticky like melted candy.
And so, after a few seconds that felt like aeons of time.
Finally.
“The treatment system is running. Until the recovery to normal condition…”
I lost consciousness with an inorganic voice of unknown gender.
