Chapter 361 – Erosion
#361.
The cold air that spread from the tips of his toes traveled through his veins and chilled him to the bones.
In her shock, she stared at him.
It was hard to know what he was thinking with his face hardened as if his emotions had been castrated and his dead gray eyes.
She opened her mouth as she aimed the saw blade-shaped sword she moved to her left arm at Gaon.
“It’s because of you.”
“…”
“I am unhappy because of you.”
Gaon bit his lip hard.
It was as if someone had smashed a hammer into my frozen body. Trauma that had been healed over several years spreads again.
Her bitter resentment and hatred bound him and pulled him into the abyss.
Gray Hirencia took a step forward.
“I have to kill you. That makes me happy.”
“… Hirencia.”
“It wasn’t a sacrifice. I should have just let you die.”
All of her words were thorns. She ruthlessly rips his chest apart and imprints an indelible scar deep into his soul.
Facing sin is a great pain. It felt infinitely smaller just by touching her eyes.
The time when Gaon, who faced his nightmare in reality, finally despaired and tried to bow his head.
Taat!
“Calm down!”
Brilliant platinum filled his eyes.
Silky hair embroidered the sky along with the mantle, spreading fragrant body odor. In front of that dazzling light, all negativity was washed away at once.
Gaon’s soul, which was struggling in the mud, was pulled out very easily.
He repeated the name he had called over and over again.
“… Hirencia.”
I was afraid. Maybe even this brilliant light in front of my eyes will turn away from me. Maybe those amber eyes were stained with hatred.
In the midst of such weak thoughts, Hirencia’s face turned away, frowning.
She opened her mouth with an expression full of displeasure, anger, worry and concern.
“That is fake.”
“…”
“It is fake. I’m real. So don’t listen to what that fake guy says.”
Hirencia seemed to have come to that conclusion. She actually thinks she has common sense and she’s right.
It would be much more credible than the false hypothesis that Hirencia from her previous life, who had already died a long time ago, was resurrected and came across the dimension.
But Gaon can’t do that.
‘Even if it’s fake.’
Even if it was just changing her memories, Gaon couldn’t easily shake it off.
She thinks that the act of pretending to be fake and covering up one’s sins is the worst. Even after committing such a thing, it was impossible for him to face Hirencia directly.
When Gaon couldn’t shake it off, Hirencia grabbed his face and fixed it, meeting her eyes.
“I know what Gaon is thinking. But no! No!”
“What is that…”
“Do you regret your sacrifice? Would I be happy if I killed you? All wrong! I could die as much as I wanted to save Gaon, and I could be happy because you were there. Everything that fake says is a lie! Trust me!”
The strong appeal conveyed the raw emotions to the extent that one could not even doubt it. It was enough to clear the thoughts that had been in my head.
Having regained his reason, he was able to dispassionately analyze the situation.
‘Okay. That’s right.’
In his previous life, Hirencia died less than 10 years before regressing. She cannot be resurrected by the Dimension Eaters, no matter how powerful they are.
If she had one question, it would be how she got that memory, but it was quite possible when she recalled the hypothesis she had been implicitly thinking about.
In other words, there is a very high probability that Hirencia, who died in gray, is a fake.
Gaon, who finished the calculation, said while slightly stealing Hirencia’s eyes, which had become sore with water.
“I’m sorry for worrying you.”
“Fool. Why don’t you know? Why don’t you trust me There’s no way I could say something like that.”
“That’s right. I must have gone out of my mind for a moment.”
Even if you think about it a little, you can understand, but her faith in Hirencia was shaken by her own sins.
Upon her sincere reflection, she clutched her collar strongly and leaned against her chest as if clinging to it, whispering:
“I mean, I don’t wear such risque clothes.”
“Under… !”
At the words that contained a bit of shame and shame, Gaon laughed and laughed inappropriately for the situation.
He wanted to kiss the cute figure right away, but the situation was not good. He released her from her arms as he saw the duke’s fierce gaze and her busy movement and her companions to stop her monster queen.
“Then let’s join us now.”
“… Yes. Song. I will do it.”
As if she didn’t like the monster queen who dared to show off her naked figure to the unspecified majority with her own body, Hirensia held her holy sword firmly and burned her will.
Gaon too belatedly saw through the Dimension Eater’s intentions and was enraged.
‘I won’t be taken lightly.’
He must have intended to hit the mind first by stimulating trauma, but that was a big mistake. What he overlooked is the fact that he now has numerous relationships built over the years.
With them, I was confident that I could overcome any hardship.
Gaon immediately jumped up and rushed at the monster queen.
‘I’m going with all my might.’
I tried not to use the image materialization because it was too overworked from Halo, but it went back in vain.
I wanted to relieve the monster queen’s pain as quickly as possible.
Whoops!
Enormous mana spurted out from the dragon’s heart covered her entire window and turned it into jet-black plasma.
The blazing intangible energy mercilessly burns even the tentacles of evil spirits.
Gaon stabbed his spear at the gap of the monster queen who was engrossed in defense from the pouring offensive.
Pew!
The monster queen, who believed in the defensive power of his tentacles and blocked them from the front, hurriedly backed away when she saw her own arm being pierced helplessly.
However, the monster queen is currently surrounded by the detached team. Of course, lethal attacks flew from the direction they retreated from.
Chow!
In the end, Hirencia’s holy sword cut off her left arm.
She hurriedly yanked her tentacles away, but the aura left a deeper scar on her upper extremity, and her black tainted blood flowed out.
Then, no matter how hard she tried to swing her sword away, Hirencia used photonization to cling to it tenaciously.
The monster queen didn’t even dare to strike back because of the net of light that drew hundreds of lines every second, and she was busy retreating.
Her most powerful ability, her regenerative power, was sealed, so it was impossible to deal with her detached troops any longer.
It was then that her wounds continued to accumulate and her life was at stake.
Tsuzuzuzuk…
The brightly colored orb embedded in the abdomen flickered like a warning light, then flashed and emitted an intense light for an instant.
At the same time, her shriveled tentacles swelled up and gathered around her left arm, causing an explosion.
Pew!
Her flesh scattered, and evil aura spread thickly like smoke from her body.
All of the detached troops that were attacking with pincers could not bear to ignore the ominous smoke and left their seats.
Then, as the smoke dissipated, the figure of her one-armed monster queen was revealed. Her white bones are impressive beyond her rough cross-section, as if she had been forcibly torn off.
But for a second, something in her lingered inside her, and her tentacles rose up to form her arms.
Her purple and black arms were incomparably more hideous than her own.
‘Shit.’
Gaon felt a little guilty.
Even though it was a fake, it was hard to see a being with Hirencia’s face and the same memories so damaged and corrupted.
It was very unpleasant to tarnish the memory of her, who had always been virtuous even right before her death.
Likewise, Hirencia was also experiencing anger and sadness at the same time.
She shouted loudly at Gaon, but she couldn’t hide her uneasiness when she faced the possibility that she could change like that, as if something very trivial was her distortion.
She somehow drove away her insecurities, holding her holy sword even more firmly.
‘Are you okay. I don’t change.’
That’s just being swayed by the brainwashing implanted by the Dimension Eaters. Even if his magical powers are stretched out, he does not give in easily.
Hirencia erased her wandering thoughts and focused only on dealing with the monster queen.
As in the Dragon’s Lair, perhaps because she was influenced by the Dimension Eater’s instruments, she felt a deeper connection with her holy sword than ever before.
Light and darkness.
The phenomenon that arises from the violent confrontation of two incompatible energies has had the effect of further solidifying the image that has settled in her mind.
It gives her a direction to move forward after years of stagnation.
Geeing-
A slightly different light flashed from the holy sword in her hand.
A dazzling brilliance that emits brilliant light alone even in the dark. In front of him, the monster queen’s tentacles showed infinite weakness.
Awesome!
Hirencia’s sword strike, which exhibits extreme speed due to photonization, covered her entire field of vision in the blink of an eye.
She tried to wield a saw-bladed sword, but it disappeared without a trace, like snow melting in the morning sun on a winter’s day.
The moment he recognized it, the light of brilliance spread to his forearm, and the moment his arms opened, the holy sword stabbed him through his abdomen.
Jump! Blasphemy!
Cracks spread through the beads threaded into the holy sword, and it flickered precariously as it was swallowed up by the brilliance.
It was then that Hirencia, who had received the final blow, was about to draw out her sword.
Chin!
The monster queen held her arms with both hands and opened her mouth.
“You, too, will be betrayed someday. And even if you die, you won’t be able to close your eyes in pain. You will regret it for the rest of your life.”
“No, I have no regrets. We trust each other Dimension Eater, I will not be fooled by you.”
Hirencia declared that, not the monster queen in front of her, but beyond her, as if she were talking to her Dimension Eater, who commanded her behind her.
Then, the monster queen, who was consistent with her expressionless expression, rolled up her grin.
The moment you sensed the ominous.
Whoops!
Her orb exploded and the black smoke that erupted swallowed Hirencia’s entire body.
