Chapter 245 – 245. Relationship (2)
=======================
Evil ties, nemesis, enemies.
What words can define a relationship?
For Sabnak, El Cid was the one who took away the Liberia Peninsula, which was his territory, and was the enemy who fell into the abyss in an instant.
On the other hand, for El Cid, Sabnak was the culprit who slaughtered his compatriots and was the enemy of Cheolcheonji who sought the life of his beloved disciple. One of the reasons he tried to pass on powers and powers to the disciple even by forcing him to sacrifice was because of Sabnak.
“Savnak, hand it over immediately.”
El Cid opened his mouth.
No favors to show you,
The oath of the elves sent a warning to Savnak by blatantly erecting a thorn.
El, who had always reacted indifferently to people other than her own relatives, showed strong hostility as she unleashed her emotions of rage all over her body, which was rare. The hostility that radiated from her was ferocious, as if it would tear apart Savnak’s slender body in an instant.
“You can’t do me any harm because of the oath. Stop fighting over power.”
Savnak clenched his fists.
She took a step closer to L while holding the white ember tightly.
El Cid is still under the interference of her oath. Knowing that, Savnak was able to act confidently in front of El.
If she disregards her oath and tries to kill herself, she will be forced to give up her life… , Sabnak knew that the rationalist El Cid would not go to extremes.
“I am still a part of the six demon lords. If you kill me, the devil’s oath, Touma, will intervene. I believe that you will not do anything foolish by inviting Touma to the current situation where you have barely stopped Grid’s forces.”
It was clear that he had come prepared.
El had a hunch that Savnak had induced her to reunite with herself because of a purpose.
“I have a suggestion.”
“To me… Proposal?”
At Sabnak’s remark, El reacted as if she had heard something completely unexpected.
The enemy of the mortal world has a proposal to me?
El questioned Savnak’s method of achieving something through dialogue rather than war, through proposals rather than force.
“The price, of course, is Vortigan’s soul, which you’re eagerly awaiting. You must want to completely erase the tyrant of the kingdom of Vulcan from this world right now. Is not it?”
Savnak stretched out his hand.
Before long, he opened his five fingers, which were clenched into his fist, and showed a white ember.
Spirit of Tyrant Vortigan.
Seeing this, El’s shoulders stiffened.
It reacted violently as if it would rush in at any moment and rob it from Savnak.
Since she was an El who wanted to annihilate the tyrant Vortigan from this world as soon as possible, she had no choice but to be divided by Savnak’s act of handing her her offer as collateral.
“… What is your offer?”
El asked.
El, who struggled to open her mouth, asked Savnak about the details of her proposal.
It is absurd to make a deal with Savnak, who massacred and murdered many of his compatriots.
However, his hatred for the tyrant of the Vulcan Kingdom was greater than his hatred for Savnak, so El decided to listen to the proposal of the Demon Lord of Heat.
“Yusin Gilead.”
Savnak spoke the name of the man who had defeated him.
A deep gorge formed between L’s forehead.
Her cheeks twitched and her reaction was so obvious that she twitched for a moment.
“I want to ask him. And there is something I want to confirm with him.”
Savnak proposed to El.
In exchange for the soul of the tyrant Vortigan, he demanded a dialogue with Gilead.
El fell into deep trouble.
Of course, it wasn’t difficult or unreasonable, but… El, who judged Yushin’s will to be important, had no choice but to withhold her proposal from Savnak.
“The first thing to do is to annihilate Vortigan. Hurry up and give me Vortigan’s soul. I will destroy it myself.”
El, who put her proposal on hold for a while,
Even though she knew it was excessive force, she demanded that Savnak extinguish Vortigan’s soul first.
When how,
The evil tyrant may rise again.
Because her hatred and fear of the tyrant of the Vulcan Kingdom was considerable, El tried to annihilate Vortigan’s soul as soon as possible. Because she didn’t want to face that terrible monster again.
“No, I refuse.”
Savnak naturally rejected El’s coercive request.
She took Vortigan’s soul into her grasp.
Grasping it firmly in one hand, Sabnak ignited black flames in the palm of his hand, preventing Vortigan’s soul from escaping.
“Vortigan’s soul is destroyed only when the dialogue with Gilead, the God of Restoration, is completed. And it is I who will consume Vortigan’s soul.”
The last king of Vulcanus Kingdom, Vortigan.
He is one of the strongest among the many puppets under Grid’s command.
If you annihilate him directly,
It would be a good provocation against the beast of lust, who prizes his own treasures more than his life. Unable to forgive Greed for the brutal deaths of his dearest men, Savnakh vowed to repay him in the same way.
* * *
The terrible plagues that befell Sanctuary are finally coming to an end.
The monster forces all retreated.
With the death of the tyrant Vortigan, the Grid monsters that attacked the sanctuary retreated to the south, probably realizing that there was no chance of victory.
On the other hand, Yushin Gilead, who stood at the center of the Great Rebellion, received specialized treatment while hospitalized in Binah, nicknamed the ‘Hospital Palace’.
He was Yushin, who refused to be hospitalized, claiming that he was fine, but as soon as he lay down on his bed, he snored and fell asleep right away, probably due to fatigue from the fight with the tyrant Vortigan. I didn’t even know who was carrying it.
“I never thought the mad king was hiding under the shadows of the grid….”
Heinkel murmured.
El nodded at him.
“He didn’t know that he would meet an old specter that disappeared with the kingdom of Vulcanus. He must have died then…. How did the beast of lust bring the mad king back from the swamp of death?”
The elf in his pale purple hair distorted his face as he bit his nails.
The white of corruption that robbed life force.
The white light that drove everyone to the brink of death.
Reminding her of him, El shrugged her shoulders in fear and put strength into her hand that was crossing her arms. The tyrant of Vulcanus Kingdom was so terrible that even the pledgers of the elves trembled in fear.
“You mean the demon lord of the heat wave has Vortigan’s soul? After being defeated by Yushin, Savnak, who appeared in the Valois kingdom, appeared in the Liberia Peninsula this time. You must be very busy moving all over the continent.”
The demon king of heat wave was indirectly involved in every huge incident.
After losing the war with the elves,
Savnak, who had lost all power and collapsed, seemed to have become someone’s servant without playing a leading role.
Possessing Vortigan’s soul was also someone’s order. It was natural for El to be so suspicious.
“It’s a bit embarrassing to say that you asked for a place to share questions and answers with your student as a condition of handing over Vortigan’s soul. What the hell did you ask him to do with Vortigan’s soul as a requirement?”
“I don’t know what kind of dirty scheme Savnak is up to. But if that demon tries to harm Mr. Gilead… , I will never be alone.”
It may be that the purpose is to harm Yushin in order to avenge the previous defeat.
Otherwise,
It was a ulterior motive to recover half of the magic core.
Defeated in a duel with Yushin Gilead, Savnak failed to recapture the Liberia Peninsula, which was his former territory, and lost all his power as the Demon King’s army under his command collapsed.
For Savnak,
Yusin Gilead would never be allowed to exist, like Cheolcheon’s enemy.
“You’re quite sympathetic to my pupil, aren’t you? I’m not sure, since I wasn’t involved in this at all, but it seems like something happened in the sanctuary that touched my heart.”
“What nonsense!”
El turned her head away.
In response to Heinkel’s smirking voice revealing her true intentions, El immediately vetoed her.
A strong negative equals a positive.
El, who was no different from an idiot about her knowledge of dating between men and women, gave Heinkel an excuse for her by strongly denying her.
At Heinkel’s reaction as she began to smile meaningfully, El’s heart thumped like crazy, lest her feelings be revealed.
“It’s something to check later.”
“What is confirmation!”
Seeing El raise her voice for her infidelity, Heinkel stroked her chin and opened her mouth.
“I never thought I would beat Vortigan. Although she says the vortices weren’t in their prime…. He’s my pupil, but he’s a really great guy.”
As a teacher, I am very proud.
She defeated the tyrant of the kingdom of Vulcan.
He defeated the monster that destroyed the kingdom and summoned the great demons.
Heinkel praised Yushin, who was lying in bed, saying that he must have spent all his energy dealing with Vortigan.
“Are you planning on visiting Mr. Gilead in the hospital?”
El asked.
At that, Heinkel shrugged her shoulders.
“I’ll open my eyes after three days anyway, but what about a visit to the hospital? I have no memory of raising Yushin to be that weak.”
“…….”
That’s a blunt answer indeed.
And it was also an answer that was completely unexpected for El.
When Heinkel decided to visit the hospital, he reluctantly followed, completely destroying El’s plan to visit Yushin’s hospital room.
Such a useless guy.
He chewed on the branch while cursing at the ignorant man.
‘Whoa….’
After a brief conversation,
As Heinkel left, El was left alone.
He let out a sigh of mixed feelings.
It is because whenever she recalls the image of Yushin who fought against Vortigan on her behalf, she was aware of her own heart, which swayed like a sailboat meeting a storm.
It was as if she had become a fool.
She laughed wildly in excitement, but then suddenly straightened up and sighed in her complicated mind. El, who kept repeating it over and over again, couldn’t hide her bewilderment at the chaotic change that occurred in her own heart.
‘At that time, to resuscitate Mr. Gilead… ,’
Elle pressed her finger against her own lips as she smiled her shyly.
For Yushin, who collapsed with the loss of her arm,
In order to revive him who had been robbed of most of his life, she
She kissed
Although she was part of the relief.
Every time she recalls the urgent task at that time, she feels pity for Yushin, who sacrificed herself on her behalf, while she has an unknown feeling at the back of Yushin, who tried to protect herself even by sacrificing her life. Came to bear
She said, ‘Although it was an act to save Mr. Gilead from the brink of her death… She ended up using an oath of companionship on Mr. Gilead.’
A contract of oath to return.
A mystical ritual that immediately revives the subject from the brink of death on the condition that half of the lifespan be transferred.
The condition for activating the secret is to transfer half of one’s lifespan to the dying opponent.
It was not easy to use it because of the harsh conditions in which half of its lifespan had to be surrendered.
Likewise,
In order to activate the contract of companion oath, there was a condition that you must have feelings of admiration for the person to be rehabilitated.
‘No, it can’t be. Do you think I have feelings for Mr. Gilead? It’s something that can never happen. There must be something wrong, a contradiction in the oath of the companion contract.’
I didn’t want to admit it.
To say that he fell in love with his disciple’s lover.
How did you come to have such an impure heart?
She tried to ignore her feelings, saying that she only wanted Yushin and Ardena to be happy while holding her complicated feelings.
