Chapter 290 – Episode 290 – [Knight of Pure Love: Origin] His Final Memoir
* Episode 290 – [Knight of Pure Love: Origin] His final memoir
The subsequent flow is also as comrades know.
-Joined [Magic Eye].
-I met Ian and Soyeon.
-We became couple hunters and ran to conquer the Silver Tower.
-It was because of money, fame, and Seongyeon’s goals.
『Prostitute, do you know that?』
『What?』
『Hunter. Are you exempt from military service if you reach a certain level?』
『Exemption~?』
“Yep. The Brass Tower has 60 floors. White is the 40th floor. They say gold is on the 20th floor.』
『I heard things get tougher for brass from the 50th floor and for silver from the 30th floor. Don’t you think you could be in big trouble?』
『If it were me, I would get to the 70th floor with brass. Besides, we’re already at 100. Come with me. I’ll be right next to you.』
『Even if you don’t say it, you will still try…』
『Then our first goal is the 40th floor~! Now, fighting!』
With [A conversation that seemed to have taken place somewhere], Our purpose was decided.
It was okay up to this point.
According to Seongyeon’s purpose, we arrived at the 40th floor of the Silver Tower without difficulty.
It was also the best result as it even reached the 48th floor.
So, I should have stopped here instead of being greedy… !
“I guess there’s really nothing special here.”
“This is an area that Ian has already cleared. It is said to be an unexplored area after the 50th floor, so let’s go back quickly.”
“Hey, prostitute.”
“… Why?”
“Shall we go to the 51st floor?”
“What?”
“It’s about the unexplored area you mentioned. Looking at it, this level doesn’t seem as bad as I thought. How about running to the 60th floor?”
“Are you crazy? How long has it been since we climbed the tower that you say that?”
“But it’s too easy. Going up a few more floors won’t change much, right?”
“Seongyeon.”
I tried to stop him, but the smile on his face wouldn’t subside.
My heart slowly broke as I saw his face confident that he could do it.
‘Even though I’m still young, I have the skills of an S-class hunter… Actually, the mobs around here were no match for me…’
I narrowed my eyes at what ‘was’ a golem scattered near us.
Even for me, a D-level person, the Silver Tower was easy.
No, rather than saying it was easy, Seongyeon was too strong in the first place.
Ian and Soyeon had not yet blossomed into witches, so they were actually the strongest hunters in this tower.
“Are you okay? We’re just around the corner from the 50th floor anyway!”
“But what if it’s dangerous…”
“Then you can just run away right away~! Besides, it’s easy to get skill cards for hunters who do good deeds, so if not now, when will you get them~?”
“…”
“Let’s get to the 51st floor first and think about whether to climb further!”
Seongyeon saw through my inner thoughts.
It’s a shallow idea to not want to take risks but still want to receive tribute with skill cards.
No matter what it was, I was a piece of trash who liked to receive something.
‘As Seongyeon said, if something happens, she can be removed right away.’
… …
… Will it work?
Can I leave it out?
What happens?
What on earth was I thinking?
It shouldn’t have been like this…
Even if I hadn’t made this choice here… What happened next could have been prevented… !
Even though our love affair was twisted… !
In this way… All the way. We could have been happy… !
『Aaaaa!!!!!』
It happened right after arriving at [The 51st floor of the Silver Tower].
A scream was heard.
How long did it take for you to recognize that the scream came from the mouth of Seongyeon, who had always been peerless?
“Sorry! I was wrong!』
『It’s because I’m greedy! I’ll be punished, so I’d rather die instead! Please save the prostitute!』
『Tap owner! Please, are you listening!?』
『This is not a child who deserves to die in a place like this! He’s such a good kid!』
『Because you are the benefactor who saved me! Because he’s really a good person!』
『So give it back!!』
『Because I will be punished!!!!』
Immediately after entering the 51st floor, my vision turned bright red.
This was right after Seongyeon attacked the giant golem that suddenly appeared.
‘The reflection gimmick… Did it happen…’
The huge feet became a shadow and enveloped me and Seongyeon.
A golem as large as a garden was raising one of its paws to crush us.
‘I thought it was the same as the guy downstairs…’
… It wasn’t.
It was a trap from the very beginning.
Before I knew it, half of my body had already blown away, starting with the lower half of my body.
He disappeared after being attacked by Seongyeon.
Who would have thought that he would be on the verge of death due to the deflection of his girlfriend’s fierce blow.
“Sorry… Sorry… Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!!!!!』
『Please!!!!』
『Just a prostitute!!!!!!』
The shadow gets closer.
Seongyeon is holding my upper body and crying.
In the meantime, the golem came to crush us mercilessly.
‘Is this a punishment for being greedy that doesn’t fit the topic?’
She tried to push Seongyeon with all her remaining strength.
But… It didn’t fall…
『Prostitute yaaaaa!!!!!』
Everything turned black with a pitiful scream.
Everything, including my life, was crushed, but surprisingly there was no pain.
I thought death would be scarier than suicide and more difficult than falling asleep, but it was just the opposite.
Than you think… It was worth it…
*
….
…
… How long did I wait?
I waited for complete death, but only my senses disappeared, and my consciousness remained.
The entire body is endlessly anesthetized and only the mind remains.
It was an unpleasant feeling, not knowing whether I was dead or alive.
‘This place… Where are you… ?’
I vaguely felt like I had opened my eyes, but I couldn’t see anything.
I fell into fear again, wondering if I hadn’t opened my eyes or if I had lost the part of my body called eyes.
‘I can’t hear anything. Were they even attached to each other in the first place?’
But my mind became clearer.
And the clearer it is, the deeper the fear.
I shook my body without feeling anything, hoping that someone would save me.
「Oh my, you look so tired~.」
“Nothing can be heard, nothing can be seen, and only the soul is swimming in the swamp of death.”
Then suddenly I heard a humorous voice.
Who is it?
It was an unknown voice.
“The cute-looking kid was crying and begging for his life, so I wondered what kind of handsome boy he was…”
「Umm~? Is something like this popular on earth these days?”
“It’s not my taste… But it looks dignified, so it’s OK?”
“But it’s a bit weird that there are so many burns.”
“If I erase it, will it be okay?”
Someone touched my cheek.
It was a movement to check what my face looked like.
So I was finally able to open my mouth.
“Save me… Save me…”
She scratched the floor and prayed as if her naked body had been thrown onto the icy ground.
Then, gradually, the feeling of blood returning to her arms and legs.
「Please help me?」
「Who?」
Now that she can move her body, she raises her index finger.
For the sake of Seongyeon, the girl who should have been by my side until just now.
But no matter how much I waved my hand, I didn’t know where the devotional partner who had been holding me until just now had gone. It seemed like he wasn’t around me.
“Heh, I never thought he would find a girl first because he was okay with that.”
「… Still, it’s not completely trash.”
“Or is it because of her nature that she fell in love like that?”
“It’s a rare hero statue these days.”
Someone laughing out loud.
I gave my evaluation, but I don’t know if it’s a compliment or an insult.
Hearing a human voice means that I am alive.
I don’t know how I survived with those big wounds, but I just wanted to live anyway.
‘If I were alive, it’s normal to ask if Seongyeon is alive too.’
So I was asking a completely normal question.
However, someone hovers near me said again that it was amazing.
“It was just a time when toys were needed.”
“I don’t think you’ll be easily broken, so I’ll give you a special chance.”
My body became hot.
My cold body gains strength and my vision finally returns.
“Ah, ahh! Ah, aha! Khaaaaa~?”
I crawled on the floor.
Pores that weren’t there before appeared, and I started coughing.
I was crawling on the floor on all fours when I saw something squishy, and I thought I was going crazy.
‘… Internal organs!?’
I screamed loudly and fell backwards.
I have a bunch of organs spilled on the floor in my hand.
With blood that hasn’t completely hardened, it emits warm smoke, as if it was alive just a moment ago-!?
“Hwaaaaah!!!”
In front of the organ I held in my hand… There is a lower body…
And no one else… It’s my lower body…
The body that was attacked by Seong-yeon, reflected, and cut off… It’s on the floor… !
“Huh… Ahhh… Huh…!”
The world was spinning.
What is this? Why is my body like this… !?
Why are the organs spilling out?
I am… Is he alive?
“Ugh!?”
Only then did I see my bright red hands.
Where did my body go, and the white armor I had never seen before took up space below my neck.
The same goes for the lower body rolling on the floor.
My body became full plate armor and my senses were vividly alive.
‘This… How… What’s going on… ?’
Red blood drops fill the palm and fall to the floor.
Blood appeared on the pure white floor, and only then did I see the surrounding scenery.
‘Where am I?’
Bright.
It’s like a white court.
Everywhere I look, it shines so brightly white that I feel like I’m going crazy, but from that place, a lot of people came flying at me at once and looked directly at me.
“How does it feel to be reborn?”
“Ah… Uh…?”
When I finally came to my senses, a pure white throne and its owner, a pure white witch, greeted me.
In front of her was a long red carpet, with numerous knights lined up between it to protect her.
“Nice to meet you. My name is [Freya]. I am the true ruler of the Silver Tower.”
The goddess of beauty smiling at me.
I will never forget that beautiful smile for the rest of my life.
The day when the evil devil obtained the toy called me was engraved in my soul.
