Chapter 942 – #203_Intersection(11)
#936
One.
Elroa returned her contract sword to Ahspace.
When I looked around, it was not enough that it had become a mess, and the transfer station had collapsed.
Ea Sadalmelik’s corpse scattered everywhere disappeared as if it was broken.
With the poisoned red light, the blooming Hianhwa also disappears, fluttering their petals one by one.
The afterlife of the witch society is as divided as that of humans.
Its substance and existence are also not clear.
But Elroa had an intuitive understanding of what she had done.
Ea met her death.
She died not just a death, but a death to her very existence.
Even if there is reincarnation, reincarnation, or the afterlife, it is the death sentence of an existence that cuts off the link itself.
That was the punishment that Eloah had sentenced Ea to.
A long, 100-year-old bad relationship.
She finally put an end to it.
“…”
The sword of Eloa was a sword for revenge.
Magic modified for combat while breaking the optimization of existing magic.
The reason why her magic is optimized for one-on-one combat.
This is because at the base of it, there was a heart that wanted to kill only one person more earnestly than anyone else.
In response, Ea has made ample preparations.
Just as Eloa did, it was only preparation to hunt Eloa.
If Elroa had still been possessed by her delusion, she would never have jumped the trap she had prepared for her.
However, in her final moments, Elroa threw off her past, which was gripped by her resentment.
She has transcended her self-defined limits.
She signed a contract to ‘destroy evil’ based on her newly established beliefs.
At that moment, Eloah was clearly on a higher level.
It might be a good place to call it the 24th, or perhaps the 25th.
Now that’s a good story.
“…”
Elroa quietly picked up the lotus flower that had been placed in her ruins.
The lotus, which she has eaten countless sacrifices and turned red as if her blood would flow, but has now regained its former ethereal invisibility.
Revenge was empty.
It wasn’t as happy as expected, nor was it cool inside.
However, there is no more lingering fear as if she has lost her way.
“Rafi.”
Instead, Eloa quietly called out the name of her beloved disciple.
-Shuuuuu!
The time for the contract is over.
The price of the contract is now fulfilled.
Her magic power, which filled Elroa’s body, disappears.
At the same time, her whole body felt pain and a mana circuit that was disconnected like an electric circuit that caused a short circuit.
“Siw… I have to meet Siwoo.”
It’s not over yet.
You have to take care of her lock and organize the homunculus’ rampage.
Siwoo and Rinne might be in some kind of crisis.
Eloah, carrying her lotus, inched in her staggered steps.
She hurriedly reached Line 3, and Elroa sat down in front of a long, half-collapsed tunnel.
She can’t walk anymore.
Know.
God is cruel and does not present miracles.
The miracle Eloah showed was an unreasonable extra payment borrowed the name of a miracle.
Her untouchable power, obtained at the cost of taking everything from her.
According to the contract, the world receives everything from Eloa.
It must be a very unfortunate story that life is drowning in that ‘everything’.
Eloa’s body is covered in pink particles.
Her breathing changes slowly with a thinning presence and languid silence.
Death is often said to be feared.
But it wasn’t as frightening or scary as expected.
Instead, memories like a group of warm lights pass by like a kaleidoscope.
Happy days with Raffy.
The days when I lost Raffy and wandered in agony.
The days when she heard the news that Ea had died and lost her purpose.
The first time I met Siwoo and taught him together.
The time she fell in love with him.
Like the warm sun shining through the leaves.
It was such a brilliant and beautiful, pitiful and lovely day.
If the last regret remains…
“Siwoo, lastly… I missed you.”
If you wait a little longer, maybe Siwoo will come.
If she goes a little further, she might be able to meet Siwoo.
My eyelids were so heavy that I couldn’t stop with such regret.
The world of unconsciousness begins to swallow Eloa.
Narrowing of vision.
A long, dark tunnel stretched out in front of it.
On the other side, you can see the beautifully shimmering entrance to Tiphareth’s mansion.
If you reach that point now, you will be able to spend an unfinished happy time with Raffy.
Like a pilgrim silently walking on the path she has to go, as she moves her steps, she sees a silhouette with lovely pink hair waving in the distance.
Rafi.
Rapida.
The moment Eloa’s heart beats fast.
“Master!”
Eloa’s eyelids lifted heavily again.
In front of her eyes, she sees the last face of Si-woo, whom she longed to see so much.
“… Were you okay?”
“Master, calm down… !”
She then realizes that she is lying on his lap.
Next to him, Rinne, covered in blood, was standing next to him with a hardened face.
“You said you would definitely come… Believe in Master, even after he said that… !”
“I’m sorry.”
It was the first time Elroa saw Siwoo’s crying face covered in her tears and runny nose.
Eloah could laugh at her love and affection for her.
Alas, I am so glad I met him.
You don’t know how happy I was to be able to receive so much love and affection.
“Siwoo, I don’t think there will be much time left… Could you please do me one last favor?”
“I hate to hear that! Wake up!”
I’m still very young, but I’m still a novice.
A lovely disciple who tried to act as a handsome man in front of Eloah.
Such Siwoo was now running around like a child.
“Siwoo, don’t be too sad.”
“How do you do that… As you promised…”
Elroa squeezed out her efforts and wiped away Siu’s tears.
My lovely disciple.
My love.
My everything.
Siu was all of Eloa.
It may sound too selfish, but just being able to confirm that he was safe was a miracle.
“Siwoo. It may be something that can only be said now.”
Seeing Elloa’s hand calmly caressing her cheek, Siu gasped while holding back tears.
“If you put the lock in her hands… Can you stop the flooding?”
Siu bit his lip tightly and nodded his head.
Humans may, in the distant future, have the appearance of ‘evil’, as Elroa judges.
Just as there is no absolute good and no absolute evil.
The human to whom Eloa has been devoted may one day thrust her teeth at her witch.
But that’s something to think about later.
As Lilith said, good and evil are crooked curves drawn by imperfect beings.
It was then and there that he realized that it was truly correct to shoulder the hardest judgments and anguish.
“If you do that yourself…”
“Please kiss me too.”
Eloa, who was jokingly talking.
Siwoo quietly hugged Eloa.
Siwoo hugs Eloa with delicate hands, as if he would break if he hugged her too tightly.
The two’s lips overlapped quietly.
Eloa looked into Siwoo’s eyes and said.
“Hesitating, agonizing. Don’t judge right from wrong, get lost. You will surely be able to choose a better option than me.”
“… I will…”
“Please use Tiphareth’s last name. I can trust and entrust it to you.”
Nodding her head with her satisfied face, Eloah turned her head to look at her Rinne.
“Linne.”
“…”
Although she is always expressionless Linnaeus, Elroa could tell that her eyes were filled with deep pensiveness.
“Him, please.”
“… I’ll do that.”
The pink light that had been flickering around Elroa as if it were breaking was gradually fading away.
Sensing that the time for farewell had come, Eloah said one last thing.
“Siu, I love you. It’s just a pity that I don’t have a horse around. I wanted to put it in a cooler expression.”
“Me too… I love you so much…”
The light that fulfilled the price of her contract completely disappeared from Eloah.
Eloah closed her eyes with a peaceful expression that conveyed the will she wanted to leave and her love, and achieved everything for her.
Witch of the Covenant.
Eloah Tiphareth.
The duke of Gehenna, who, after her doubts and anguish, persevered in her own convictions.
Close her eyes here
“…”
Should have been
“… Master?”
“…”
Eloa blinked her eyes.
Clearly, quite a bit of time has passed. It feels like 1 to 2 minutes.
However, Eloa was perfectly aware of the reality.
“This… Kuck!”
“Master! I believed in you!!!!”
“Chi, Siu… Now, because of the injury, my body is really, really bad!!”
“I, my dear! Stop! Stop! Tiphareth may die!”
It was a light incident that Siwoo, who hugged Eloah tightly and laughed madly and shed tears of joy, nearly submitted the final submission to the resurrected master.
2.
I don’t know what kind of English it is.
Maybe the world judged that Eloah’s contract was enough.
Perhaps the lotus flower Siu was holding now exerted some kind of power.
However, Siwoo, Elroa, and Rinne still had the goal of obtaining her lock.
She was preoccupied with enjoying the joy of not having to part.
Siwoo showed a wide back in front of Elroa and took a piggyback stance.
“Master! Get ready!”
“Siwoo’s arm is also broken, so don’t overdo it.”
“Ayy, Master is as light as his feather. What do you mean? From today, I am the coach exclusively for Master.”
If only a moment ago, Siwoo looked the saddest thing I’ve ever seen.
Siwoo now looks the happiest I’ve ever seen.
Eloah smiled bitterly at her, but she gladly cradled him on his back.
It wasn’t that he was overweight, he didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger.
As they trudged through the tunnel, Elroa and Siu talked a lot.
The thing that finally killed Ea.
Siwoo single-handedly defeated Urshira, the ‘witch of the reverse sky’.
“Who am I? Siu Tiphareth. Aren’t you Master’s disciple?”
Would it be strange if he felt more happy that he had grown so much than the fact that he had defeated Ea, his nemesis and enemy?
A cheerful atmosphere that overflowed from the sadness of almost saying goodbye.
Eloah sat on Siwoo’s back and quietly looked back at her.
“…”
A long tunnel unfolding with darkness.
At the end of it, the mansion where Raffi is sure to be waiting is still boasting its beauty.
And in front of it, I saw a new sign that said, ‘Master Eloah, no entry for the next 5,000 years’.
It is a round and cute handwriting of Raffy.
Elroa smiled at the vision that quickly disappeared as she rubbed her eyes.
God is cruel and does not present miracles.
But very occasionally.
Isn’t love a gift of miracles?
Eloa quietly leaned her cheek on Siwoo’s back.
