Chapter 110 – 8. Prometheus (7)[Anatomy]※
Loa went hunting with a sling in her hand for the first time in a while.
It’s not that he can’t shoot a bow, but he didn’t bring it this time, and to be honest, he was still more comfortable with a sling than a bow.
Loa, who saw a group of rabbits in the distance, put a bitter smile on his lips, fed a suitable stone to the sling, spun it around and accelerated, then let go of his line and sent the stone away.
The stone flew silently and crashed into the rabbit’s head without making a sound, knocking the rabbit down, and the rabbits seemed to be perplexed.
I guess so.
This sling was a magical item made by Yuria for Loa.
The rabbits started to run away as if they had figured out the situation only then when two more died while throwing stones at the rabbits who were in a panic because they had not yet grasped the situation.
I felt sorry for the missing rabbit, but I wasn’t greedy.
There was plenty of food anyway, but this was enough for Yuria, who was suffering in many ways, because she had to hunt in order to somehow feed better quality food.
Roa, who took out a small knife from her arms,
She began dismembering the rabbit by slitting the rabbit’s throat and draining the blood.
* * *
When I first saw the child space urinal made by Yuria before, Mr. Cashew Win said a lot about using the child space for something like a toilet, but she actually said that she was using it well herself.
Yuria’s skills are too strong to recreate the magic applied to her backpack. Yuria’s mana was too small, which was unreasonable, but the problem could be solved by greatly increasing its volume, like the large box in this wagon.
In the case of the urinal, it is not that large, but thanks to that, I only had to empty it once every 2-3 days, so the trip felt easy.
No, in fact, if you need to use the toilet in the first place, it is common to set up a wagon, look at the ground, and use the toilet in an appropriate place. It was work
“It will soon become the Empire’s rule.”
“But really, this wagon seems to have been made very deliberately. There are magic tools that allow you to cook while driving the wagon.”
The bedroom space on the second floor was enough for four people to sleep unless they were to share affection at night, and the first floor also had enough space for four people to sleep somehow if they used sleeping bags.
“Why is that bastard’s painkiller magic not working in a dream?”
“Well… I’m not really sick right now, so it’s useless.”
Pain is not the body of the present, but the memory of the past.
Is that why? Previously, while Yuria used various methods to block this dream, a more severe dream came as if it were a reaction, and at that time when Yuria cried uncontrollably, she said that the experiments that were performed on her at that time were not intended to torture or kill herself. He said that he had time to take a break in the middle, or that he had given a period of time for his damaged body to recover.
However, YuRia had said that in the dream that came after trying tricks to block the dream, it was a hell filled only with times of dismantling, digging, splitting, grinding, and piercing the body, without such rest or recovery period.
And what Roa is very fortunate about her Yuria, she said, is that the version Roa herself has experienced is still a little stronger than the dream that Yuria usually feels.
Even if she said that, she almost died of shock herself. No, what the hell should she say if she were told to feel a little less pain every night than a shock.
Just like that, Yuria grew emaciated and lost her energy day after day.
“Now… YuRia. You have to eat a lot. If you eat too little, you won’t survive.”
“Yes…”
Roa looked at YuRia while somehow feeding her rabbit stew.
“I’ll measure my weight and height.”
“… I’ll just let you know. There’s nothing to measure.”
Huh? To Roa who was doing her thing, Yuria really told her about her height and her weight.
“39.8Kg to 139.6Cm”
At YuRia’s words, Roa’s heart sank a little.
Has the 140’s finally collapsed?
“How is that?”
“Actually, these are things you can find out if you want to know.
“…”
“I don’t want to see you mourning as you measure your emaciated body day by day…”
At YuRia’s words, Roa gently lowered her head.
“Just a little bit, let’s work hard a little more. The Empire is coming soon, and according to Yuria, the gods are friendly to Yuria, so there must be good news.”
For some reason, Yuria had a slightly bitter expression on her face.
“Yuria?”
“Maybe I can live…”
“Yuria…?”
Something from YuRia brought Roa her anxiety.
If you say you can live, does that mean something bad will happen?
“It’s okay… I think I can endure it. I’ll try to endure it somehow…”
“…”
Yuria saw something.
But Loa couldn’t ask for it.
Because she knew very well that it would make Yuria suffer even more.
“And, this time there was interference from the world, but it wasn’t just the world’s handiwork. Maybe Cashwynn took this path as well, no matter what.”
“What is it?”
“I loosened too much from the gashu…”
Yes?
“There was no problem with me personally writing it or passing it on to my children, but it seems that Gacheu wasn’t like that.”
“No way, YuRia’s magic?”
Yuria shook her head at that.
“In other words, the same technology I used to remodel this wagon.”
Roa looked at Yuria again.
“No way, did you tell those dwarves?”
“I got my senses wrong… From my point of view, even those things are so old-fashioned that I didn’t take it seriously, but in this place, it was a technology that was thousands of years old…”
“…”
“Actually, I just showed them the future”
Cashwin listened to YuRia’s words and said in a small voice, “As expected… ‘ She muttered.
“The world just jumped on the bandwagon…”
“Then… YuRia is like Uncle Merkin’s friend…?”
Yuria shook her head at that.
“It’s a little different from that case. It’s hard to explain in detail, but Merkin’s friend. Nuri’s previous life was a case of committing a taboo that really shouldn’t have been done. He must have received more severe backlash than me. It may have been within the permissible range, but at the point Merkin passed it on to others, it became that friend’s job. Perhaps the act of the fairy could be said to be a taboo from the Loa’s point of view, but such rules are not determined by human standards. From a human point of view, it may be considered absurd, but it shouldn’t be.”
“Why…”
Yuria made a bitter expression.
“So do you think loa should punish birds for crossing borders without permission?”
“…”
“Or should I not catch wild animals that ruin the farm?”
“That…”
“It is nonsense to understand the rules established by a being that transcends humans as human norms. Humans cannot understand that.”
At YuRia’s words, Roa asked.
“Then, can Yuria understand that?”
“In general. I’m half like them.”
She sighed for a moment, and Yuria, who caught her breath, continued her words.
“That’s why I can see what loa can’t see. Hear what they can’t hear. I can perceive things they can’t perceive. Yes, like the realm of the dead.”
“… Can you still see ghosts?”
Yuria shook her head.
“They say it’s very different from what Loa thinks. The analogy I explained then is just a metaphor. Loa and Cashwyn are unrecognizable. And I can approach them, but I don’t. Death is something you shouldn’t deliberately look for. Area”
At YuRia’s words, Cashwyn quietly asked.
“Then what about warlocks and necromancers?”
“It’s just an imitation of death. It’s just an existence that blasphemes real death. It’s not like dealing with death.”
At YuRia’s words, Cashwyn quietly shut her mouth.
Even Yuria can observe the concept of death, but is it so dangerous that she doesn’t try to do it as much as possible…
Then, she thought, it would be to her advantage in many ways that she, too, did not pay attention to it.
Even more so when I think of the contents that Yuria deliberately took the wrong way and explained as an example before.
“So, now that you’ve found the cause, is there anything you can do to resist or defend against?”
Yuria made a very embarrassing expression.
“It might be solved if I was really treated as much as I was in my dream. But if I get punished for my sins in the true sense, not like self-harm, maybe…”
At that, Roa cried!! She then covered her mouth and began to vomit her.
That, that…
Actually!?
“So I have to get to the empire quickly while I still have enough energy… If it’s a situation where my height is dangerous enough to return to its original state again… I can’t stand such an ordeal…”
Cashwin said that with an expression as if to be relieved.
On the other hand, when she thought of Yuria, who would soon have to undergo such a ridiculous punishment, she raised her hand and pointed at a certain place with an expression that made her laugh.
“Relax. I can see the gateway to the empire over there. We’ll arrive within today. So Yuria… How long do you think you can maintain a state where you can ‘safely’ endure that punishment?”
At Cashwyn’s words, Yuria opened her mouth with a very bitter expression.
“20 days. Until then is the limit. If you take the risk to a certain extent that you can endure it, 30 days is the last line.”
And.
After that, words that Roa never wanted to hear flowed out.
“After that… Seven out of ten I will die… After the 30th day, the survival rate will drop drastically… 60% on the 30th day. 30% on the 31st day. 10% on the 32nd day… After that Do you know if I don’t tell you?”
For a moment, there was silence among her companions.
“Gwa, it’s okay. Boo, I’m sure I can finish everything before then. I’ll be able to reach the temple by tomorrow…”
The only way to live is to experience hellish pain even one day sooner.
However, now that I was already going through hell every day and every night, it was all the same that it was hell in the end.
So, the couple made a strong commitment.
It has to be done within 20 days somehow.
She said that Yuria could definitely endure it, and within the time she could confidently…
* * *
Yuria, who was fixed on the operating table made of a special force field with her body wide open, couldn’t even move her eyes.
In a state where she wasn’t even allowed to roll her eyes, let alone blink, all of this was so frightening and terrifying to Yuria.
Kiyiyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!! Hee Hee!!
Realizing that something was finally coming at the sharp sound of the drill’s rotation, Yuria wanted to close her eyes tightly, but she couldn’t even close them.
Unlike ancient humans, this cognitive ability was already aware of everything that happened around them without looking with both eyes.
A long medical drill, as thin as a needle, slowly and slowly approached his head.
To be exact, towards the nape of her own back neck.
Around the middle diagonally from her ears and neck back. There, three drills on the left with the drill facing upwards on the diagonal. The three to the right were approaching.
Kiyi- Pbm!! Kagagak!!
“!! !!!!! !!!!!!!!!!”
The graphs that were checking his various conditions began to fluctuate wildly, going beyond the measurement limits. As the needle-like drill gnawed at his head, he felt like he was going to lose his mind at the terrible pain and feeling digging deep into his head, but the experiment table that had restrained himself did not allow him to even shake himself.
Only the pupils frantically contracted and relaxed at the horrifying pain and sensation of the drill piercing the flesh and grinding the bones, and only tears flowed down like a flood.
It hurts!! It hurts!!
Help me! Please save me! It hurts! It hurts!! It hurts!!!
Kiyi!! Hey hey…
Tsureuk…
Just before reaching the brain, the stopped drills came out of the head, and a small amount of cerebral fluid along with a little blood flowed out of the hole the drill had made.
I wanted to tremble at that feeling, but the station field that restrained me still wouldn’t allow me to even tremble like that.
Is the pain over now? He thought so when he first suffered this experiment, but no.
The real pain started from now.
The graphs representing this and that state started to fluctuate again as I felt something thin line go through the hole made by the drill and enter my head.
I can’t even tremble. In this situation where she can’t even scream, the only thing that represents YuRia’s feelings are her pupils that repeatedly contract and relax like crazy, and the tears that run down. And all the graphs were fluctuating like crazy.
I felt like I was going to shudder at the terrible feeling of bugs crawling in my head.
Soon, from the line that came into my head, countless lines that were thinner, very, very thin came out and penetrated all over the brain, and the numerous graphs that appeared on the monitor started to fluctuate like crazy. As the measured value exceeded the display range, the notation unit was modified and re-marked, and numerous measured values appearing in it were crossing the yellow zone, which means warning, and the red zone, which means danger, from time to time.
“This is difficult. It hasn’t even started yet, but it’s already like this.”
“For a moment. I guess you’re not anesthetized?”
“Hmm?”
Yuria, who felt like she was about to go out of her mind at the terrifying sensation of something as thin as a thread digging into every corner of her brain, began to see a tiny bit of hope in their conversation.
I-I can’t do such a terrible thing without anesthesia…
Gee, even now… Please anesthetize me even now!!
“It’s annoying, just go ahead. Anything like anesthesia slows down the measurement value, so it’s not so bad.”
“Well, I was almost done anyway.”
“…!!”
THAT WHAT!!
With pupils shaking so violently, please! Please!! I appealed repeatedly, but in the end they did not give me anything like anesthesia.
And.
Rather, what came was countless medical drills and medical chainsaw blades.
Seeing that, Yuria was engulfed in even greater fear.
Oh, no! Please!! Please!!
Kiyiying!!
Wheein!!
Despite Yuria’s desperate wish, numerous drills and saw blades began to attach to various parts of her body at the same time.
Kagagagak! Dreuk! Drooling!!
“~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!”
A chainsaw blade cutting through her thigh.
Whieing near the spine!! Drills that simultaneously pierce the skin and dig into it.
Her arms are split, her legs are split, and her belly is split.
Spinal fluid leaked through a hole in her spine as the bones of her spine chipped away, and something came in through that hole again, and something like countless fine threads dug through the spine.
“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
It hurts!!!! It hurts! It hurts!! It hurts!!
No! Scared!! It hurts!!
Director!! I’m the principal!! Help me!!
Unknowingly, she screamed in her head, calling out to her director, who was like her own mother, but the director was not there.
It was he who took the director as a hostage and walked in here on his own under the threat.
In the midst of this desperate pain, YuRia recalled several words her director had told her.
If you say you’re sick when you’re sick, it hurts more.
The human brain feels what it perceives. Those of us who are stronger mentally than physically have a stronger tendency to do so.
Kiyiying!! T, ttuk… Tud deuk…
YuRia flinched at the feeling of the saw blade slicing through the abdomen and the intangible force field pulling the split abdomen open wide while pulling it left and right.
No, she wanted to flinch, but the force field that suppressed the freedom of her own body wouldn’t allow it.
Oh, i’m scared! It hurts!!
Even in the midst of this, the arms and legs were split simultaneously, the skin was peeling, and the muscles were torn apart.
Ttogak, cartilage is separated, and bones and muscles are separated. Tendons. They were falling apart one by one, and at the same time, various instruments began to enter the intestines in the stomach.
Gying! Profit!!
Zugeureuk!!
Ah! Ah!! Aaaaa!!
The fluctuating graphs, beeping and beeping, crossed the red zone and sounded a warning.
Needles poking all over the intestines and small blades cutting through the intestines. Small and slender drills making holes all over the body and thousands of drugs injected all over the body…
It hurts… It hurts!! It hurts!!
The saw blade hurts! The blade hurts! The drill hurts! The needle hurts! Drugs in blood vessels. Internal organs. Muscles. Bones!!
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!
Kiyiing!
Weeing!
The head opens and the brain is exposed.
Even the face is opened and disassembled, and even the spine falls from the body…
A very, very thin drill digs into the eyes, drugs enter the eyes, and the whole body melts. In a state where he couldn’t even scream at the pain of being torn apart and stabbed, unable to even shed tears anymore, the graph continued to stay in the red zone instead of going back and forth to the red zone, and the extension warning sound rang out terrifyingly.
Oh, it doesn’t hurt!! Does not it hurt!! Does not it hurt!! Does not it hurt!!
I am… I am!! It hurts… !!
Kaaaaa!! Keying!!
Tsuggeuk! Sizzle…
Dreuk! Rumbling…
Ah… Ah… Aaaaa!! Aaaaa!!!!
* * *
“Oh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah -!!”
Jump!!
Waking up from her nightmare, YuRia exhaled heavily, drenched in a cold sweat like every day.
Her whole body ached and ached.
Even now, it hurts so much, as if it hadn’t been long since countless saw blades and blades had pierced her body.
YuRia, who was weeping while holding her shoulders with both of her arms and letting out her rough breath, struggled to bite her.
“Oh, it doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t hurt… It doesn’t hurt…”
This, this is all a thing of the past. This pain is not the current pain…
“I… I…”
At that moment, YuRia was able to calm herself down as the pain that had been bothering her still melted away like snow in that big embrace that hugged her tightly.
“Loa…”
“It’s okay… It’s a dream. It’s all over…”
“Huh…”
Yet…
What I can still bear
In the end, it was all thanks to Loa that he was able to overcome all of this.
Leaning a little more quietly into her loa’s arms, Yuria rested her weary spirit.
