City Of Witches 438

Chapter 438 – #92_Wandering

#347

One.
I can’t say what I want to say,
I can’t tell you what I want to say

It was painful.
It was lonely.

I tried to correct what was wrong.
As Clara would say, there are things that cannot be conveyed unless spoken.

I knew.
But I was afraid.
I was afraid of being abandoned again, of being rejected, of being stared at from a cold side.

Amelia couldn’t bear to go see Siu right away.
Like you want to pretend a chance encounter, no.
She roamed Gehenna with clumsy resolve and a fearful heart, as if she hoped that perhaps she would never meet her at all.

Wander around
It was an appropriate expression.

A foolish sidewalk that can’t even put her feet on, and can’t even move forward with a clear destination.
The walk, which began fleetingly in Lenormand Town, ended with entering Taro Town.

Because he found Shiu.
Next to him was a witch.
With dark green hair, mint-green eyes, and a charming smile, there was a person who kept the seat next to him all the time.

“…….”

They exchange friendly eye smiles and have conversations, and their gestures toward each other radiate deep trust and affection.

“Amelia….”

Clara, who watched her together, gently caressed her shoulder next to her.
It was good.
She stopped blankly and felt her time pass by her.
When she came to her senses, she was watching him from a distance.

It was sadder than I thought.
I felt nothing more than I thought.

As if my throbbing heart had finally frozen to death, I only felt a dull tingling sensation.

It wasn’t the first time.

Even when I saw him commit adultery with the twins of Count Zemanai.
Even when he saw her mixing her body with Yebin Smyrna, who had invited him to heal him, there was a tingling sensation.

However, if you feel the tingling little by little like feeling the affected part, you can discover that the source of this feeling is different now.

There was ignorance then.
Amelia didn’t know her love, and she couldn’t admit it.
There was hope then.
There was a ray of future that I could apologize to him at any cost.

What does he look like now?
He was different from when he faced Siwoo, who was fighting the Witch of Desire in this world.

Around the time when Amelia was living in a cabin with Siu, the expression, eyes, and voice she saw very often toward him turned toward her unknown witch.

There is no resentment that it was stolen.
It is an excessive feeling for oneself.

It’s just that the two people who are immersed in this world as if it belongs to them look so tight.
As if it were evidence of a relationship that could never be restored.
Legs lose strength.

“Amelia.”
“I’m fine, I’m fine.”

I was surprised that my voice, which seemed to be heard from afar, was calmer than I thought.
As soon as the words come out of his mouth, his necrotic heart melts and he is surprised again by the burning pain in his chest.

“It’s nothing. It’s okay.”

Breathing quickened.
The floor shakes as if the sense of balance has collapsed.

Why did it become like this?
I didn’t want this ending.

-Basrock

Something fell to the floor
It was a double-folded note that he always carried with him.
Amelia couldn’t open it.

If what was contained in it was Siwoo’s last farewell message, it seemed that he would put him in danger again, leaving behind his duty as a murderer.
At the end, I couldn’t bear to open it because I was afraid that the big pillar that supported Amelia until the end would come off.

Amelia reached out for the note.
Truly fleeting, it was a struggle to find the last hope.

Maybe he has already forgiven you.
Even if it was too late, now I needed hope to hang somewhere.

Even though it had only been folded twice, the note, which seemed stronger than any strict magic barrier, unfolds so easily.
The contents of the note were very short, and there were more blank spaces on paper than letters.

[I can never forgive you]

That single sentence catches Amelia, who was running away, and sinks her into her darkest place.
At the same time, Lilith, who casually wrapped her hand around her waist, wiped away Amelia’s tears.

“Amelia, Amelia, poor Amelia.”
“…….”
“It’s okay, you didn’t do anything wrong.”

Amelia didn’t respond.
She didn’t respond to external stimuli, as if she had confined her mind to a space only she knew.

– Woo woo woo woo!

Instead, there was a harbinger of a storm of her particles swirling around her.
A witch who has passed the 15th hierarchy reaches a level where magic and spirit are united.
Her instincts and emotions are assimilated into magic, and the higher the hierarchy, the stronger the bond.

Seeing that, Lilith smiled lovingly.
Now I don’t have to act so hard.
For finally, the magic that had sown her seeds within her had begun to take over every inch of her stigma with Amelia’s disintegration.

It was an insufficient and childish directing for Lilith to evaluate herself.
I just induced the two of them to cross each other and slightly edited the note.

However, Amelia, who was breaking down by herself, doesn’t need more directing than this.
Amelia isn’t the only witch Lilith takes on.
I don’t even have the energy to use up the craftsmanship.

It’s painful.
I want to finish.
I’m so sad.
Leave me alone.
You’ll have to be alone.
I don’t regret it.
I’m fine.

Fragments of shredded emotions quickly passed Lilith’s ears.
It is not the color of sorrow, but it is as beautiful as the light of a fairy.

Intense emotions are easier to transition than sluggish ones.
Whether it’s great joy or bloody rage, the speeded-up emotions are completely derailed by someone gently pushing them from the side.

“You can change it even now.”

The cowardly witch did it, Bianca did it, and countless other witches whose names are now forgotten.
There was no way a premature baby like Amelia could endure it.

“Let’s stop suppressing it now. It hurts me to see only you sacrificing.”

Lilith’s voice already had a smile that could not be hidden.
It rotates violently and pushes the runaway of emotions little by little as the momentum increases.

“It was hard, it was painful. You were the only one suffering. You have already done enough atonement.”

– Woo-woo-woo!

Fireworks exploding like firecrackers in the distance.
Between them, fine particles begin to spread.

It rained.
Heavy rain pours down like tears in a cloudless sky.
The particles widened, widened, widened and swept through Taro Town.

Indeed, Amelia’s powers were so great that Keter tried to make her own sword.
I was trying to get all of this wide area into my hands.

“Isn’t it painful? Are you angry? But it’s okay. I’ll help you. I will teach you how to be happy.”

Of course, that doesn’t mean true happiness.
Lilith tugged at her finger.

As if moving her puppet, Amelia’s whole body was engulfed in her magical energy.

Amelia looked at her Lilith with her blank eyes.
The sky-blue eyes, which were always filled with pensiveness, feel like an empty abyss.

“Happiness… ?”
“Okay! You have power The power to take back the rights you deserve.”

It’s a poor logic.
It is already close to sophistry, which is difficult to see as logic.
Even Amelia knew that the hearts of men and women were not governed by the simple logic of force.

But that doesn’t matter.

The easiest direction for sadness to switch to is anger and screaming.
Since ancient times, negative emotions and violence go hand in hand.
Even if you regret it later, it will feel right at this moment.

“It only takes one snap of a finger. If that’s the case, you can keep the seat next to him. I will help you live a happy world together.”

A sugar coating full of lies, sophistry, and promises that won’t come true.
Already, Lilith’s venom ended Amelia’s control over her.
Amelia’s magical power began to run out of control with each word Lilith’s tongue flicked.

“Your sorrow, your anger. Show him too.”

– Woo woo woo woo!

The feast of buds that start to bloom everywhere the rainwater touches them.
When a flower bud the size of a little fingernail blooms, everything collapses.
With this, Lilith achieves her goal, and Keter’s plan is ruined.

– Right!

Amelia’s fingers, lifted up as if possessed, twisted in the air.
Very short waves.
Flowing like waves through the medium of her magic power and particles, it began to devour everything under her control.

-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gung!

Every time a flower blooms.
Every time a particle absorbs magic power and produces more magic power.
Lilith’s face was filled with joy.

Fall down.
The collapse of Gehenna is imminent.

“… Can….”

When Lilith finally bursts into laughter,
The vibration stopped.
At the same time, Lilith’s madness stopped.

Her eyes scan her surroundings.
I see raindrops on my son-in-law, who has become as quiet as a lie.
As if entering a low-gravity space, the slow-stopping rainwater was scattering light.

A shocked Lilith looked at Amelia.

The moment she was mentally broken, Lilith’s magnetic magic ‘whisper’ apparently consumed Amelia’s body.
He was already in a state of being nothing more than a puppet of Lilith.

“Not… Can…. It can’t be….”

So, how should we explain this phenomenon?

Magical phenomena do not follow conventional classical mechanics.
However, inertia applies to enchanting.
Just as a running train cannot be brought to an abrupt stop, it is nearly impossible to stop such a large-scale magic.

Amelia rejected Lilith’s sweet flattery.
Unable to control his emotions, he mobilized all his strength to control the magic he had activated.
As a result of forcibly stopping the magic, the 23rd level high level magic collided, and this is the result.

Randomization of space.
Originally, he alone caused a phenomenon that occurred when the magic used by the two witches with all their strength collided.

“This can’t be….”

Lilith looked at Amelia with a bewildered expression.
Control still exists.
The leash Lilith was holding was clearly connected to Amelia.

“Amel….”

Lilith, who was about to reach her hand to grab it again, saw a sprout bulging under her skin.
Had she stretched out her arms just a little longer, her whole body, starting with her arms, would have exploded.

Outright refusal.

At the same time as a refusal to release.
It was a rejection of the world.

“Ahaha.”

Laughter broke out for a moment even in despair.

Lilith’s ‘whisper’ is correlated with the target’s magical achievement.
It is a unique magic whose effect changes completely depending on the strength of the mind.

Amelia, who had only been seen as a premature baby, was defying her whispers with a firm will.
She had no excuse other than that she underestimated her.

But that’s it.
Amelia clearly refuses to control Lilith, but is still in a state of rage.

The proof is that this randomized space continues to be maintained and that the magic of the particles pushes everything around them and stops them.

Amelia was once again confined to her own space, pushing everything around her as she always did.
She recreated her own hideout with new magic in the distorted space, ignoring the rules of her world.
The discrepancy in the space that was gradually getting thicker made it impossible to see Amelia properly in front of her eyes.

“Okay, this isn’t too bad either.”

I didn’t hate the unexpected variable release.
Whatever the process, the outcome will not change.

“Show me your struggles.”

With her last words, thick darkness engulfed her Lilith like a flash of light, throwing her out of her space.
