Chapter 165 – Downfall
“You’re here! I just finished making coffee.”
The warm air you feel as soon as you enter the faded cabin.
In the fireplace where only gray ash always remained, a roaring flame appeared,
Raindrops hit the dark window, making a clear sound.
When she turned her head towards the smell of her coffee wafting into her nose, there she was.
She was the first saint with a pure smile that was completely unsuited to cruelty and desire.
Erdanis, who welcomed me, smiled brightly as he filled his teacup with coffee.
“It’s been a while since I brewed coffee, so I don’t know if you’ll like it…
Would you like to sit down first? “I think you and I have something to talk about.”
Two cups of warm coffee placed on a wooden table illuminated by a rusty lantern.
Erdanis took one of the only two chairs and sat down first.
She asked quietly and calmly as soon as she followed her and sat down in the one remaining seat.
“Did you mean to kill my father?”
“As you know, I was the one who spread the misunderstanding about you to the hunters, right?
I thought the incredible desire you showed during the crisis was the key.
I never knew that your father would face tragedy. “I’m sorry.”
“…You are saying with your own mouth that you killed my family.
Is that all you can say about regret? “Can’t you comfort me even with lies?”
“Lying that does not bring any benefit actually causes greater harm.
So, I want to enjoy blessings and happiness rather than sadness that I cannot sympathize with.”
“Blessing…? Happiness…?”
“Yes! Your father’s death awakened your full desire.
The vessel of desire, you have become the master of desire that will never run out,
As a saint, I have to bless that birth, right? Hehe…”
Erdanis’ hand tightly held my hand that was on the table.
“Your father had the most beautiful death in the world.
“It will be an honor that all humans who will become residents of the new world will remember.”
She stands up from her seat and walks towards me, holding her hand.
A smile that combines faint brilliance and exquisite beauty on a small face.
The woman, whose scent was stronger than the scent of her coffee, knelt down on her knees.
“…So, give me all of your dark emotions, anger and desire…
All you have to do is pour it out without sparing it…?♡ As much as you want, as much as you want…♡”
And Erdanis moves my hand, which he was holding, to his neck.
Her neck was thin and fragile in her grasp.
It feels like it will snap and break if I hold it tightly like this.
“…You killed my father? You made it happen.”
“Kuhhh…! Yes, yes!♡ That’s right, I made everything…!
For eons, coo, coo! I desperately wanted it to be like this…!”
The power that goes into her hand gripping Erdanis’ neck.
The anger that rose up without me knowing was natural.
The woman who took away my precious family for her own pleasure, her own wishes.
That woman knelt down in front of me and stuck out her neck.
I was an immature being, just a human being, not Jesus or Buddha.
My heart, which I had tried not to be swayed by desire, is shaking again.
“Kuh?! Tsk, ah♡ Ah, no, you will become a being greater than God…!!
Please don’t forgive me! The desire to break this neck…! To me!!”
“Fuck, fuck…!”
“Ugh, wow…! That’s right… Your swearing, mang… Squirm… My, that…”
The monster that created my father’s death and the butterfly that created a storm with its wings are in my hands.
There is a monster that is smiling brightly and happily even though it is suffering from being strangled.
I──
“…Kkkk of of… Why did you let go?!
It was just a little while, just a little while, and your desire would become mine…!!”
──I let go of my hand.
“…What is greater than God? I guess I’m not good enough to do that.
“I just want to live as a person, I want to live as an ordinary person for the rest of my life.”
“…Yes…? What is that… No, no, no!!
Your desires cannot be ordinary!
“I killed your father, you can’t forgive me?!”
Erdanis’ expression spread with embarrassment as he clung to my leg.
“…That’s right, it’s impossible for me to forgive you.”
“…!! Yes, that’s right! Oh, is it because you’re not used to killing yet?
In that case, you can violate me as much as you want instead♡
“I will offer to you the body of a saint who has never accepted a man…”
“No.”
I gently lift her robe and stop her from climbing on me and pressing her lips against me.
“The world you want will never come true. This is what I want.”
“…Yes?”
“What I truly want is a world where your desires do not exist.
“This is what the witch and artist who lived happily in this hut wanted.”
“Judgment upon her saint, the red liar, and may her play for me and her continue forever.’
A phrase written on the last page of a children’s book tainted by the saint’s lies.
The person who left those words, which made me feel a variety of emotions, had the same feelings as me.
Fuck her Erdanis, and I will stop her.
“…Yes, that incredibly talented man also spoke like you.
“I’m satisfied with living with the person I love, huh… Uhuhu…”
Erdanis’ face turned cold for the first time.
She is smiling strangely as she reminisces about her old days.
“It’s a waste, it’s a waste, it’s a waste. What’s the use of that? It’s a waste of my brilliant talent and desire.
Why do we get hung up on such personal things when we have the qualifications to look at bigger things?
I tried to understand, but I still couldn’t understand the man. Even you.”
After a burst of laughter, narrow red eyes looked down at me.
“It’s annoying, so please just die. I’ll use the rest of your desires.”
“Fuck you.”
End of conversation.
At Erdanis’ gesture, the cutlery on the table and in the kitchen flew through the air.
The sharp tips of the kitchen knife, fork, and scissors were all aimed at my eyes,
It flew in at high speed, drawing curves and straight lines to kill me.
“Rising!”
The table stands up shakily when you shout out a text message, and the cutlery gets stuck behind it.
Without even a moment to catch his breath, Erdanis began his next attack.
Sharp wood fragments and rubble falling from the ceiling.
I managed to push the woman in front of me and roll her body backwards.
A thick gray dust created by rain of stones crashing down on the floor.
A silhouette stood up and pulled out a kitchen knife stuck on the table.
“…Tsk!!”
Facing the woman’s shadow, I opened my mouth to counterattack.
However, only a faint moan came out from his wide open mouth.
Can’t attack.
“…He’s just like that guy.”
Erdanis walked out, dragging his long hair across the floor.
“…Did you think you could win if you were in a cabin where desire was everything?
It’s too bad, but I’m the one who created this space? “The rules of space can be easily changed.”
“…There was a reason why I didn’t come out of my room often.”
Sure enough, the moment she tried to attack her, her strength failed to come together.
I have to spit out with my voice what I have been holding in my heart.
The moment I try to speak out, I feel like the lump of desire is dissipating.
It was Erdanis who shamelessly messed with the settings so that only he would receive the buff.
”If you had entrusted yourself to me, I could have made you happy for the rest of your life…
I thought she was the perfect match for my tastes, from her looks to her great desires…
I truly think it’s a waste. “You have become no different from a trivial human being.”
“…Seed…”
I had no choice but to falter and step back, following Erdanis’ footsteps.
As if they don’t even want to allow defense anymore, the voice itself doesn’t come out.
If you have just one chance, you can try ‘that’…
Shake!
“Ugh?!”
The destination of my flight and retreat was the large bookshelf behind my back.
When the books swaying on the shaking bookshelf lose their balance.
“Good night.”
Erdanis, who was right in front of me, threw out the blade he was holding.
The blade that plunged straight into my heart—
Deeply!!
“────?!”
Among the books falling from the bookshelf, I was stopped by a thick children’s book.
The knife that was completely stuck in the book could not pierce my heart. It was a miracle.
The face of the saint who manipulates desires and the laws of the world was also stained with embarrassment.
A book written by an artist reminds me of what happened so far during the time it bought me.
I only tried to satisfy my own desires, and I was never interested in the desires of others.
It was natural because I didn’t want to have it, and only my desires were important.
But this time, let me try to have a desire.
Hye-mi, who has accepted my desires to this day, like all saints.
“Keuw…?! Ugh──?”
I took out the knife stuck in the book and grabbed Erdanis’ hand as he tried to stab me again.
With my other hand, I wrap my arms around her head and pull her towards me.
And─
“Ugh?!”
──His lips were stolen.
I dig into the small gap and weave my tongue together so that I can’t think about anything.
Erdanis resisted my ingenious attack whose intentions were unknown, but
As long as her mouth was shut to unleash the power of her desires, she was an ordinary woman.
“Huh?! Chuup, chook…!!”
The strange sweetness on the tip of my tongue, this is the feeling of eating someone else’s desire.
I never thought the question I asked Hyemi out of curiosity would be so helpful.
It was a method I only knew the theory about, but I got the hang of it easier than I thought.
“Ugh…! Puha!! What are you doing now…! Even if you do this now, you’ve already——!!”
“Already what?”
“…Uh, huh…? How did this…The knife disappear…? What happened, uh, huh?”
The rusty sword Erdanis was holding turned into purple particles and disappeared.
The furniture in the cabin, which had become a mess, gradually began to return to its former state.
The vitality returned to the rotting and decaying trees, the air becoming clearer and free of dust.
The darkness outside the window had finally cleared and the drizzle of dawn was pouring down.
The cabin regains its original color instead of white and black with a purple glow.
Erdanis, who was looking at them anxiously, looked back at me with trembling eyes.
“You can’t believe it…”
“You’ve been playing with it for a really long time, right? So this time, let’s play with it too.”
A desire that the first saint took away from the owner of this cabin a long time ago.
She took control of her cabin, which was the source of her power, for her own purposes.
“The rule I made is no violence, except for me.”
“…Ha! What a useless thing… Then what are you going to do? You can’t kill me.
The moment you harbor even the slightest desire for me, your desire will be taken away from me.
“The best thing you can do is leave me and leave the cabin, right?”
She’s right.
The moment I express my anger and resentment towards her for killing her father, my desire is taken away from her.
If control of the cabin is taken away again, it will be really dangerous.
However, leaving her sealed in her cabin and leaving her there is also an element of anxiety.
To leave the darkness that has been brewing all this for so many years as it is,
It may be safe right now, but something like this may happen again in the distant future.
Erdanis probably thinks so.
“Yes, so I plan to make you my saint.”
“…Foot, hehe… Yes, I would be grateful if you poured your desire directly into me.
“I guess you didn’t understand because it’s simple, but you can’t even touch a single hair on my face…”
Poop──!!
“Phew?! Huh? Ugh… Crumble!! Crumble!!”
He pushed his fist into Erdanis’ stomach, who had been unable to grasp the situation from earlier.
Erdanis immediately nauseated and sat down, clutching his stomach.
She looked up at me with a pained laugh.
“Ahahaha!! In the end, you couldn’t hold back your desire…!
Yes, being honest like that…! “It’s all for me!!”
“So? Were you able to properly receive my desire?”
“…Eh…? Uh, why…? The desire can’t be conveyed, ah…?”
She grabs Erdanis’ hair as he looks around at her own body.
“Kwaaaaah?!”
“I was curious about how you, who are not a ‘saint’, absorb desire,
It seems like there really was magic in the world you were in. Amazing.
But is it magic? I can’t use it in here anymore. “I changed it like that.”
“Huh, how could you do that…?! That’s ridiculous, even as a saint, that’s impossible…!”
“I am the master of saints, so that means I am on a different level from you.”
“Hee, hee hee…! Now, wait a minute…!!”
As if he had finally figured out the topic, tears flowed from Erdanis’ eyes filled with fear.
“Hmm…”
Wow!! Wow!!
“Uuuuu as us as will will be available in our case as a result of our agreement with our customers
These are the tears of a woman who killed her father. Is this my business?
