Chapter 362 – Erosion
#362.
“Herencia!”
Gaon swung his spear and blew away the thick smoke before running to Hirencia.
She was staggering, clutching her head with both of her hands for some reason. She continued to let out a low moan in pain.
Gaon, who was supporting him, suddenly turned his attention to her flowing hair.
‘The color…’
The gray hair, reminiscent of a ruin where everything was burned, reminded me of the monster queen who had been fighting them just before.
I got goosebumps. The thought of what could have happened did not leave my head.
Under such worries, Hirencia finally raised her head and met her eyes with him.
In the same way, she trembles as she sees her gray eyes.
“Die!”
Hirencia, revealing her resentment and her hatred, stretched out her hands and began to strangle him.
The pain of choking her breath and the pain of her nails digging into her skin hit her, but the blow to her mental side was even greater than that.
Confused about the sudden change and despair that I couldn’t escape from the nightmare of my previous life.
Buried in all sorts of complicated emotions, Gaon couldn’t even resist.
It was then.
“Kuh! Ugh… No.”
A bright platinum light shimmered in her gray-colored eyes, and then Hirencia’s hand, which was strangling her, slowly let go of her strength.
A ray of light that blooms even in the dark.
Even now, exposed to the Dimension Eater’s aura, she maintained her sanity.
However, as if he couldn’t escape her influence completely, he repeatedly etched the scars on Gaon’s neck as he repeatedly tried to get out of her grip and then come back.
Hirencia said while chewing on her lips.
“My… Foot. Stop it I am… No, I do not want!”
“Herencia. Are you awake?”
“Red… Lee! As it is… Whoops!”
The brilliance that was emitting light from the eyes flickered and flickered. The frightening look on her face told her that she had little time left to maintain her sanity.
Gaon gently caressed her cheek.
“What do you want me to do?”
“… Let me faint no more… I can’t stand it.”
“All right. I’m sleeping for a while.”
Whispering softly, Gaon quietly pointed to her blood transfusion. She was worried what would happen to her if this didn’t work, but luckily she didn’t.
Hirencia’s legs gave way and she leaned against his arm as she collapsed, her lips parting slightly.
“Thank you.”
My heart ached at the smile that drew a shallow arc.
Gaon broke her delicate female body and gnashed his teeth as he hugged her with all his might.
‘How dare you do something like this.’
Stupidly, I only noticed it now. This was the original purpose of Dimension Eater from the beginning. By planting her resentment and hatred in Hirencia, she was trying to bring her true despair to him.
Of course, there must have been a secondary goal besides that, but it didn’t mean much.
As he pondered his anger toward him, all of the detached troops hurriedly approached him.
Everyone was worried and chattering, but Gaon only had one gaze. She turned to the Duke.
The duke looked at Hirencia, who was sleeping, and opened her mouth.
“I don’t know what happened between you and Hirencia. But I know one thing. That should never be left together. Take my daughter.”
The duke resolutely stole Hirencia. He called out quickly as he turned his back.
“Wait a minute.”
“What?”
“Herencia’s spirit has already been polluted. We need to take action. Could you help me at least as much as the treatment?”
“… Do whatever you want.”
Hirencia is the successor of the Shubrans family. The duke is a very heartless father, but that doesn’t mean he lacks affection for his children.
What has already happened cannot be undone.
If it was Gaon’s connections, he didn’t even refuse that help, probably because he would be helpful in the treatment of Hirencia.
After answering, the duke embraced Hirencia and left the battlefield.
So, another fight ended.
***
In autumn, when the world turned red, Gaon had been holding on to his drinking glass since the day when the sun was shining brightly.
“Whoa…”
I don’t know how many times I sigh again.
As of now, 3 days have passed since that day. Hirencia still couldn’t come to her senses.
According to Luna Rie, a saintess of the Demonic Cult, within her body, the energy of the Dimension Eaters and the will of Hirencia are repeatedly colliding, she said.
The aftermath was so powerful that the body suppressed its activity as much as possible to minimize damage.
In the fight with the monster queen, Hirencia awakened her will, so she was a mess. If it wasn’t for that, she would have already succumbed to the power of the Dimension Eater.
No, she would have taken on a completely different aspect from now, had it not been for the kind of evil and superlative power called brilliance.
It was fortunate indeed, but the problem lies in the fact that there is no promise of when to wake up.
As a result, Gaon was being destroyed in nervousness day by day.
Dalgrak-
It was when he was staring blankly at the ice in it, waving his glass.
Smart.
– Guild leader. A guest has arrived.
Along with the sound of knocking, the voice of the counter staff flew in. Gaon was silent for a moment, then poured his drink into his mouth and stood up.
When I went outside, a woman with a very nervous face was standing there.
She said, “She said she was a guest, but didn’t you say anything? What is your name?”
“Oh, you said you were from Halo. They said they were Archangel Urariel and Gabriel.”
Gaon immediately distorted her face.
I can’t even guess why the paranoid people who can’t understand the language came to visit.
It’s not like he’s going to investigate again while mentioning the singularity of extinction. I wouldn’t do such a thing if I had an idea.
It didn’t feel good, but I didn’t know if I really did, I might kill him unintentionally.
“Why are those women here…”
“Yes?”
“No. It’s nothing. Maybe in the guest room? I’ll be there. Go back to the counter.”
“Yes. All right.”
The counter clerk went down the stairs with a wise attitude that did not bother to dig deep. Gaon looked at the back and moved toward the waiting room.
‘What on earth is it?’
There is only one reason for them to come.
However, if you have a normal mind, you won’t mention it unless you’re a suicidal person.
Besides, the ones who came were Urariel and Gabriel, so the mere fact that the two most inferior in terms of powerlessness had come showed that they had no intention of fighting.
If that’s the case, at least it’s like trying to solve it through conversation, so there’s no need to worry too much.
Amid numerous questions, Gaon immediately faced the reception room. After that, she calmed her mind as calmly as possible and went inside.
When the door opened, I saw two women sitting quietly on the sofa.
I couldn’t see where she sold her wings, but even without them, there was a strange atmosphere that made her feel pious.
There was also a large proportion of needlessly beautiful appearance.
The two of them turned their heads at the sight of people entering, then met Gaon and her eyes and quickly stood up.
“Oh, you are here.”
“…”
Gabriel greeted her politely as always, and in the meantime, Urariel only bowed her head, as if she was dumb.
Gaon didn’t even feel like being greeted, so he strode over and put his butt on the other side.
“Why did you come to see me?”
And then she got straight to the point.
I don’t even want to be polite to them. It would be that side anyway, so if you didn’t like it, it was enough to leave right away.
Gabriel quietly sat back down and opened his mouth.
“First, let me apologize for what happened on Halo. It was a mistake on all of us. I’m really sorry.”
“Her? He suddenly came to me and said something, and he only apologized? Why? At first, I was easygoing and just tried to catch it roughly, but since that is impossible, are you thinking of trying to persuade me with words? Doesn’t Halo do things that way?”
“… No matter what you say, you have no face. Sorry.”
Despite the insulting words, Gabriel’s composure was not disturbed. He just apologized for his past mistakes and asked for forgiveness.
It is said that he is too shy to even ask for forgiveness and cannot say it out of his mouth.
No matter how much you touch this kind of person, it is difficult to get the desired reaction. In other words, the feeling of hitting is very bad.
Gaon changed his target.
“More than that, Urariel. Why don’t you say something? After all, this all happened because of your brilliant foreknowledge. Or have you become mute in the meantime?”
Urariel’s eyes widened as if this was the first time he had felt this kind of contempt. Even so, he mumbles but does not open his mouth.
Instead, Gabriel intervened.
“Oh! Now, hold on. That I explain…”
“You stay still. I’m asking this woman.”
Of course, I was stopped by Gaon’s firm words.
Under such pressure, Urariel pondered for a while, then opened a space and took out his pen and paper from there.
Then she eagerly scrawled her pen and carefully handed it over.
What was written there was:
“Sorry. I was rude because I couldn’t speak at the moment. Please forgive me.”
“…”
This time, Gaon became mute.
I don’t think I’m in a state where I can’t really speak. It just ended up being garbage.
Of course, there are some mistakes on the side that didn’t explain it first, but even so, it was he who pushed ahead without giving any time.
When Gaon, who had been hit by something similar to Tallulah, hesitated, Gabriel opened his mouth.
“Eurariel lost her current ability to speak as a result of overusing her precognitive ability in a short period of time. Thanks to you, he was able to clear up the misunderstanding towards you. He didn’t speak beforehand. Sorry.”
“… That’s right. But is that the end? Did you come to apologize?”
“The main thing is, that’s right. But I have something else to tell you.”
“What?”
When asked again, Gabriel had a silent conversation with Urariel, then continued with a nod of his head.
“The Healing Church is targeting your group. The one who came with me last time. Did I mention your name is Lee Cho-rin? He was a man with extraordinary abilities.”
“… What exactly do you mean by aiming?”
“I don’t know exactly, but there is an item hidden in the heart of the Healing Church. A human experiment is also underway for that. Sooner or later, they will try to covet Lee Cho-rin.”
“A human experiment? Under! It’s ridiculous.”
The authenticity of this information is unknown, but personally, it is not entirely possible.
‘It must smell so bad there.’
The current saintess, Serendia Gracias, had her title taken away by Chorin in her previous life.
Of course, nothing strange so far. It was not at all impossible for her to appoint a more competent priest as a saint.
The problem is that I haven’t been able to find any traces of him since then.
Soared into the sky I don’t know if it’s been burned to the ground, but it’s only nonsensical rumors that I’m spending the rest of my life quietly in the countryside somewhere, and the real facts are not known at all.
So, if she really did use Serendia Gracias in her human experiments for something she had stored in her heart, then it makes sense for her past life as well.
It was something that had to be accomplished even by mobilizing former saints for human experiments. What is it?
Gaon’s worries deepened.
