Chapter 318 – 318. The Six Demon Lords (1)
========================
The place where the thousand-year-old ghosts were located was an independent space completely cut off from the outside world.
Like a corner where paper was cut off with scissors and fell off, the behind the scenes where the priests stayed was close to a deformed world that transcended all interference and actions of the world.
A space where the concept of time does not flow.
A realm artificially created solely for eternal life and youth.
──But there,
Cracks started to appear.
“Cool cool!”
“What kind of blizzard is this!!”
A white blizzard blew through the cracks in the air.
The cold that seemed to envelop the whole body.
It was so cold that it was hard to open my eyes, as if my whole body would freeze at any moment.
In the ultimate paradise, where no pain or life-threatening factors exist, the priests who have been living immortality screamed at the cold they experienced in hundreds of years.
“Uuuuu!!”
“Cold! It’s too cold… ! Anyone is fine, save me from this cold!”
Like a newborn baby,
The monsters who controlled the elves behind the scenes of permanent immortality, where no one could interfere, began to roll on the ground, unable to overcome the freezing cold.
“You, who are you!!”
A silhouette of a woman in a snowstorm.
A blonde elf woman who witnessed him shouted.
The woman in the silhouette is very strange,
It existed with nine tails stretched out behind its back.
Soon, a stronger blizzard blew in, and the vaguely visible silhouette disappeared. Replacing the silhouette was a blue-haired elf woman with a black eyepatch covering one of her eyes.
“… Eld Thai.”
“Hee! Heaaaaa!!”
The moment an elf woman with jet-black eyes darker than the bottomless pit opened her mouth,
The female priest who was called out jumped back in surprise.
At some point, I collapsed on the floor where a white snowdrift had piled up.
Forgetting even the cold chill to pierce my palms on the floor,
Eld Tai stared at her vengeful ears looking down at him with her quivering gaze.
“Nose, Corte… Corte… !”
As if I saw a ghost,
Eldtai murmured the name of the woman standing in the middle of her blizzard, her whole body shaking.
“I told you once. I will definitely come to take her life.”
“Uh, how… ! How behind the scenes!”
“Because you guys have stopped your own steps.”
It is not impossible to catch up with runners who stopped their steps and chose only comfort and security.
No matter how far you ran,
If she stopped running in front of her, she would eventually be caught up by the follower.
“It twisted the space around Maherit.”
Corte, including Eld Tie,
She slowly raised her arms as she realized that many priests were staring at her.
I undid her eyepatch.
Slowly, as if treating a precious valuable,
She very slowly began to unfasten her eyepatch, revealing her tightly sealed eyes.
“Kyaaaaagh!”
Eyes hidden behind an eyepatch.
Eld Tai, who met Corte’s eyes, who had never appeared before, let out a shrieking scream from her.
She wasn’t the only one surprised.
The other priests also screamed in shock, or even forgot her screams and opened their mouths.
“Th-those eyes… !”
“These are the eyes of my father, whom you killed.”
Just like keeping valuables,
Corte’s other eye, carefully covered by an eyepatch, was a dull wine color.
It was characterized by a mysterious color that looked like a sardine stone, contrasting with the jet-black eyes.
“I will never kill you gracefully.”
A barrier of shadows extending in all directions.
It swallowed up the beautiful dark green color of the green vines and moss.
As if it was night in an instant,
The shadows that gobbled up the light completed the veil of darkness.
“… I will drop you into the barrier of an explosion forever, allowing you to experience the eternal immortality you longed for so much.”
Forever deprived of death,
The curse of immortality and immortality to repeat the wheel of pain endlessly.
Although Corté was exhausted from the battle with Ardena, there was no hesitation in achieving the long-awaited revenge.
Even if that
Even if it means taking on the burden of giving up your own life.
“Aaaaagh!!”
“No! No way dear!!”
After the death of the first priest,
The culprits who moved power behind the scenes by putting Corte and Ileina up as puppets one after another were swept away by the shadows at once.
And the last one left.
Eldtai collapsed at Corte’s feet, trembling all over as if convulsing.
“Nistia, Tassere, Yelmidra, Atul, Enzaman…. Eating them all… !!”
As if it was hard to believe the terrible nightmare-like situation, Eld Tai turned his head and called out the names of the priests who had been drowned in the waves of shadows.
But no answer was heard.
Just as he fell to hell to pay for the bad karma he had committed until now, all of the many priests had fallen into the barrier of an explosion.
“Aagh!!”
Waves of shadow slowly approaching with a simmering sound.
As if I would eat it right away,
As if waiting for their turn, the shadows moving according to Corte’s will stopped for a moment, approaching Eldtai.
“I-kill me… , It’s not like your father is coming back alive! I’m sure your father doesn’t want it either! So please, please save my life… !!”
“Do not spread sophistry with filthy mouths.”
Corté grabbed her by the collar and pulled her in front of her nose, probably feeling deeply enraged at the elf woman’s babbling outrageous words in the face of a terrible end.
Blurred wine-colored eyes.
Staring into her dead eyes, Eld Tai struggled with her whole body and tried to escape, but Corte’s grip on her collar never let go.
“I have been living with the determination to get revenge on you all! And to show my father the sight of all of you screaming in misery and suffering… , After gouging out my own eyes, he put my father’s eyes in the hole!”
“Ugh… Ugh!”
Eld Tai let out a moan of anguish when she heard that her own eye had been gouged out and her father’s had been put in instead.
An obsession that has transcended madness.
That obsession turned an elf into a vengeful demon.
“Father, this is the end.”
Cortez two eyes,
In particular, the wine-colored eyes were wide open.
To show the father who was murdered by them that this daughter has finally completed her vengeance.
“Aaaaa!!!”
The shadows, which had stopped moving for a moment, finally moved again and began to wrap around Eldtai’s limbs.
As an octopus eats its prey,
The shadows, which boasted strong suction power, restrained the elf woman.
He will surely meet the same fate as the other colleagues who fell into the waves of shadow.
At that, Eldtai, as if making a last resort,
With all of her limbs and her torso devoured by the shadows, with only her head remaining, she uttered a frenzied voice.
“Your father! If the ignorant and stupid man had followed our orders, there would have been no problem! There would have been no problem if the daughter was packaged as a living god, the reincarnation of the first priest, and reigned as an object of faith… ! Why did you suddenly come to the end and commit a dirty betrayal after being obedient? !!”
Corte answered him.
“Because she didn’t want her daughter to live like a puppet, deceived by a life of lies, all her life.”
Corte’s father found out belatedly that the claim that her daughter was the reincarnation of the first priest was a false cause.
Concerned that her daughter would live a miserable life playing the role of a counterfeit, being deceived by fakes and lies, he raised an objection to the priests, but his voice, which was no more than an ordinary elf, never reached behind the scenes.
The priests feared being discovered,
The truth was buried by dealing with him who saw through the despicable plan behind the scenes before anyone else.
“To make it up by accident… , I made the summoned monsters devour my father. My family, who was the only one in this world.”
Corte let go of Eldtai’s collar.
And at that moment,
The shadows that had eaten all of the torso, leaving only the head, swallowed the rest of the body.
“You know that you are also suffering once… Experience at least some of the pain I went through then.”
Corte looked down at the figures of the elves who were gradually encroaching downward while making a gurgling sound, and turned his head with a cold gaze.
“…….”
There was no euphoria.
What remains is a handful of relief.
And there is only empty emptiness.
Corté, who had achieved his long-suffering revenge, ran his dry fingers slowly through his father’s faded eyes without a hint of delight.
“Did you see it? You see, Father… ? Did you see those arrogant bastards sinking into the shadows, screaming in pain?”
Corté, who repeatedly asked questions that the other person could not hear, failed to transplant because he forcibly inserted the eye, even though he couldn’t see his right eye… Although he had lost one eye completely, he acted as if he could see.
Even if I can’t see
My father must have seen it through these eyes.
Like her daughter seeking her father’s warmth, Corté kept running her fingers over the corners of her eyes that contained her father’s, muttering incessantly.
“…….”
And a woman
She watched it silently, immersed in the wild blizzard.
A whitish silhouette with nine white tails hanging down in all directions could be seen through the blizzard.
