Chapter 43 – {Heroes in Crisis} 4
{Heroes in crisis}
* * *
Arya Riverin was forcibly dragged across Lawton Bendision’s shoulders.
During her dragging, she was undetected by others even after she was pulled out of the artificial dungeon.
Using an artifact, Lawton Bendision completely blocked the gaze of others.
If she had been able to give her voice, she would have made her presence known to others, but since she had no voice, she could do little more than be dragged away.
Thanks to this, he was able to get out of the academy without being noticed at all, even while passing through countless people.
Lawton Bendision, who kidnapped her like that, headed to the front of a rock deep in the mountains of Hero Island.
However, after moving his foot in front of the rock a few times, a passageway to the basement was revealed.
‘Is this the altar?’
It was clear that it was the altar where he was said to have sacrificed himself.
After descending deep in such a dark passage, what Aria Riverin could see was just a wide open space.
There was only an altar made of rocks in the middle of a wide clearing.
“It will be over soon.”
Lawton Bendision said so and laid Arya Riverin neatly on her altar.
After offering her as her sacrifice, he too would choose her death.
Even if he lived, he would no longer belong to the villains.
‘The grace that allowed me to take revenge must have ended with this.’
Lawton Bendicion thought so.
I don’t know if he will commit suicide or if he will turn himself in and be executed by law.
But thanks to Aethernum somnium, he was able to take his revenge.
His own enemies were not only Aegina, who sacrificed his own family as cattle sacrifices for generations.
The revenge against Yeokcheon, the group of villains who installed the magic bomb, was also possible with the help of the Aethernum Somnium organization.
‘Aethernum Somnium’, ‘Yeokcheon’, and ‘The End’ are three groups of villains with enormous power, but the relationship between the three is not very good.
Rather, there were more cases of being hostile to each other than heroes.
Thanks to this, Lawton Bendision was able to kill all the members of the Yeokcheon organization that had installed the magic bomb at the time with the help of ‘Aethernum Somnium’.
Now, what remains is to sacrifice Aijina’s bloodline, Princess Arya Riverin, to Terenity, who helped her avenge herself, thereby completely severing Aegina’s lineage from her bloodline and repaying her favor at the same time. It was only
“Before that, I should tell you why you die.”
“?!”
Arya Riverin’s head turned slightly to the side, and a video appeared in front of her as she lay down looking at her side.
* * *
“I’m sorry…I’m really sorry.”
Queen Laura, a beautiful woman with her dazzling blonde hair, was sitting there crying and handing an apology to Lawton Bendision, not caring that her dress was getting dirty.
“I’m sorry.. Hehe…Mother…Had no choice but to move the magic bomb to the center.”
A large-scale terrorism plan using a magical bomb devised by a group of villains, Yeokcheon.
In order to prevent massive damage from the terror, her mother, Aijina, drove an explosion into the center, so that only the people of the Bendicion family were sacrificed, and large-scale damage was averted.
However, originally, the Bendision family would have been safe from the magic bomb’s explosion.
It was because Bendision was caught up in the explosion of the magic bomb while driving the explosions that exploded from various places into one place.
“I’m sorry…I’m really sorry.”
As a childhood friend, Aegina also apologized to Lawton Bendision, who was absent-minded.
However, with a bewildered expression, he seemed unable to accept the reality.
“Nonsense…Next week was our wedding anniversary. Haha…We decided on a place to spend time together with Alice on our wedding anniversary…Abel…Will soon become a knight like me…Father and mother…Everyone…”
I saw Lawton Bendision muttering with a bewildered face.
As a knight of the Kingdom of Liberin, he found some of the villains belonging to Yeokcheon who were escaping under the royal order and eliminated some of them.
However, while he was fighting the villains, his family died even though they would not have had to die in the first place.
Because of the sacrifice of a cow for the great.
Thousands of lives and 4 lives.
It might be rationally understandable that there was no choice. However, it was human beings who could not understand and move on.
All of his family members who would not have died had died.
As a sacrifice to save others, his entire family died.
“I didn’t expect your family to be in the center of the explosion…But I did it knowing someone could be sacrificed. I’m sorry…This sin…”
At the harrowing scene, Ai Gina spoke sadly, and she apologized over and over again to Lawton Bendision, but her words did not come.
Upon seeing the corpses of his family members, Lawton Bendision felt something inside him shatter beyond crushing and then turn to powder.
All loyalty and life felt meaningless.
“Ugh, ugh!”
And after that day, he decided to take revenge.
However, his revenge against Aegina and the Duke of Lestan was unlikely to succeed, so he decided to use the villain organization.
It wasn’t reverse.
Considering the members of the Yeokcheon who were greatly involved in causing their families to die, they could never lie to the Yeokcheon they were in.
That’s why he chose ‘Aethernum Somnium’.
And there he received a great being called Terenity.
[I will give you the strength to take revenge. And those who serve me will help you.]
That’s how he gained strength, and with the help of the Aethernum Somnium organization, he succeeded in revenge.
It was the beginning of killing all those who participated in the terrorism among the members of Yeokcheon at the time.
At that time, he had failed to kill Arya Riverin, who was his baby.
However, after showing Queen Laura being gang-raped by her gang members in front of Ai Gina, she killed her by twisting her neck.
After that, he killed everyone in the Duchy of Lestan.
After her self made her feel the same pain of losing her family, he killed her.
Having committed a crime while becoming a villain, he became the rich man of the Riverin Kingdom.
If he had remained as a knight, the Kingdom of Riverin would have compensated for the damage.
However, in the face of losing everything, there was no way that compensation for the damage would be meaningful.
And he ran out of control and became a villain, and his existence was taboo and concealed in the Riverin Kingdom.
Of course, the people of the Bendicion family, who were naturally victims, became known only as those who lost their lives in the villain’s terror.
* * *
‘Ah.’
Arya Riverin said that everything he said was true. Watching the video, she felt that this was true with more than 90% probability.
No, maybe not 100%.
It’s just that it’s hard for her to accept this cruel truth, so it must be limited to a probability of over 90%.
“Princess Arya, this is why you are dying. You are the only survivor of Aijina’s blood.”
Lawton Bendision spoke calmly, but his voice trembled.
Is it because the moment of end of revenge has finally arrived?
And Lawton Bendision took some of the magic that paralyzed Arya Riverin’s body.
Thanks to that, Aria Riverin was able to open her mouth.
“I’m sorry…That you were ruined like this…We were also responsible.”
She was ruined by her desire for revenge.
Aria Riverin gritted her teeth and asked, feeling a sense of responsibility toward him.
“But… Your mother’s gang rape crossed the line. Did you have to go that far?”
But this crossed the line.
It was so cruel and nasty.
She died when she was a baby, so she doesn’t even remember, but she was his mother.
“I didn’t lead. I just didn’t stop them from doing it.”
Lawton Bendision was saying he let himself go.
He hadn’t laid hands on Queen Laura himself, and hadn’t directed her gang-rape.
He hadn’t even touched it himself.
She just watched her villains gang-rape her and then her child Gina killed her boy in front of her.
However, the bystanders were also half sympathetic.
“But you must have been satisfied to see her maternal grandmother screaming, right?”
In the video, Aegina tells Lawton Bendision that she has done something wrong and asks her to save Queen Laura.
But then Lawton Bendision said:
[I am no longer a knight of the Riverin Kingdom. There is no reason to stop it anymore, and there is no reason to save it.]
The killing of the Duke of Lestan and Queen Laura in front of Aegina could not have been accomplished without the help of Aethernum Somnium.
So in order to be able to avenge her, he abetted Queen Laura.
Even though he said he didn’t even touch it, it would have been the same as half-participating in aiding.
“Then why did you prevent me from getting hurt?”
Arya Riverin asked in a shrill voice.
“Doesn’t that bother you too?”
At Aria Riverin’s point, Lawton Bendision put on a confused expression for a moment. However, he soon nodded.
“Maybe so. I should have prevented her from being gang-raped, burned her alive, and threw the charred thing to Aijina.”
Kreurreung-
And when Lawton Bendision’s answer was over, Arya Riverin felt a chilling fear.
Lawton Bendision’s crazy answer felt so terrifying that I didn’t even care.
It sounded like a gigantic monster laughing in her ears.
The laugh was like a sneer.
Lawton Bendiciono, and the ridicule of himself in this situation…
‘What is this?’
Arya Riverin felt that this altar was unusual.
I felt some great malice.
It was as if someone who planned all this was laughing at me.
“Then what about the students? What crime did they get caught up in?”
Despite feeling eerie, Arya Riverin questioned Lawton Bendision.
She is herself. Even if she intends to avenge her for her grandmother’s work, for what crime did the other students get caught by the villains?
“That’s…”
Lawton Bendision, whose confused face was trying to say something about her, suddenly turned her blank look and looked down at her again coldly.
Arya Riverin felt that something was wrong with her unusual appearance.
This look was like being mentally manipulated.
“It’s useless. Then, Princess, I’ll soon dedicate you to Terenity.”
Having said that, it was time for Lawton to do something.
“For a moment.”
I heard someone’s restraining voice.
“Wouldn’t it be better to stop being a puppet?”
Arya Riverin knew the owner of this voice.
“Mr. Seomuncheon!”
A man with black hair, Seomuncheon, appeared.
“I’m here to save you. Aria.”
After saying that, Seomuncheon gave Aria Riverin a soft smile, then pointed to Lawton Bendision and said.
“In the puppet play where everything was meant to be.”
