58 – Yuen Jaun (3)
“…… “
A dark room.
A place where only the light of the full moon illuminating the night sky illuminates the view.
Choi Si-woo quietly looked around.
You can see the luxurious interior where only high-ranking people would stay.
The furthest place from there.
There was a woman sitting down using her chair as a backrest.
“Yuan.”
“…… “
With empty eyes, as if she couldn’t hear anything in her own response, she gulped down a bottle of wine.
Glowing skin shines through your natural white color and consistent care.
Added to this was a face flushed with intoxication, filling the room with a strange color.
It was a beautiful sight that would make any man feel sad, but Choi Si-woo knew it well.
It’s not that sticky and beautiful thing.
He was so desperate that he gave up everything in his life.
Choi Si-woo walked forward.
I feel the furniture passing through my body like an invisible person.
‘We succeeded in contacting Yuan Joun.’
But direct intervention was impossible.
That seems to be the law of this space.
‘… Are you just telling me to watch in silence?’
Her sadness and despair.
I crouched down and read the paper that fell on the floor.
It was a part of a newspaper believed to have been published yesterday.
-Future economic impact due to Jounga’s business failure.-
-Decided to hand over a large amount of business to Olympus at a low price… The bankruptcy crisis is-
-Head of the Jounga. Gwen Jaune. Kneel down directly at the president of Phantom Company and hit the floor on his head… –
-In the background of Phantom, there is help from the association… ?-
-The leader of the villains, the queen of graft. Put a grafting curse on Yuri Joun… Accordingly, her biological daughter, Yuen Joun… –
“…… “
Her news was full of indirect explanations about the situation she was in.
‘Looking at the timing, I guess it was right after the Demon God’s Advent began.’
It seems like it started from this time.
She was completely broken and collapsed.
The surrounding scenery moves quickly.
Time was accelerating and soon turned into a small cathedral.
Yuen, dressed in black mourning clothes, was holding two coffins and crying like crazy.
The focus of her eyes was delicious.
Voices screaming in sincere despair fill the place.
“… Yuen.”
I tried to approach.
She tried to stretch out her hand.
But I couldn’t do it.
From the beginning, the space itself rejects Choi Si-woo as if he does not exist at all.
Time flows again.
She was wearing a combat uniform and heading to the battlefield with a fierce determination.
Dozens of magic circles unfold through both hands.
Every time a touch passes by, everything around explodes and crumbles.
At first, she was the one who let her enemies go without suffering, but as time went by, she used fire to massacre, and furthermore, used poison and curses to create a terrible scene.
Soon, her magic melts the rotten members of the Society, and she turns to the many enemies who brought about her downfall.
However, Yuan thought it was insufficient and too inefficient.
No matter how strong the original body is, it is ultimately an individual.
How can I kill my enemies more efficiently?
“… “You can make it.”
Yuen’s eyes are colored with madness.
A magic circle of dark color resembling dirt is drawn along the hand.
She casually committed something close to a taboo that would shock anyone who walks the path of magic.
Bodies lying on the floor rise.
They come together and become one lump.
Once the command was given, it began tearing the enemies apart.
Ignore those who cry out for help.
He does not forgive those who killed his family and plunged him into the abyss of despair.
For a moment, corpses piled up like mountains and rivers turned into blood.
How much time has passed?
The young girl wearing her military uniform had become a bespectacled scholar who looked nothing like her former self.
We see Yuen locked in the lab, concentrating on magic.
At least 10 years have passed since she grew into a mature woman whose youthful appearance has completely disappeared.
I can see his expression becoming lighter.
The madness in her eyes had disappeared as if it had never happened, and her hands were filled with bracelets that appeared to be restraints.
“Ha… “
As she was agonizing over her research, she felt a small presence behind her.
She felt the corners of her mouth go up without realizing it.
After a while,
Wow! With a sound, a small creature grabbed her back.
“Oh my gosh, I got hit”
Yuen, showing off her exaggerated gestures, grinned and looked behind her.
Even though she couldn’t do anything, more than 10 children were looking at her.
She gives all her bright eyes and shouts ‘Teacher.’
“Okay, okay~ Everyone, stand in line~”
Yuen responded and used magic to heal each of her children.
In this world where the power of the gods is gradually weakening, there are only a few people left who can use divine power.
At a time when proper medicine was difficult to obtain, recovery magic had an absurd value.
She continued treatment, but at some point she stopped.
“…… “
She makes eye contact with a girl who is looking at her with a ‘hmph’ as if asking why.
A black stain is seen spreading down her side.
The curse of the world that arose because the demon god descended and the six demons ravaged this world.
In reality, it was impossible to completely cure it and all it could do was delay it and it was a sentence of the end.
“Teacher?”
“…… “
With her bitter smile, Yuen took out her candy and put it in her girl’s mouth.
Her child’s expression brightens.
She made a promise.
She said she would protect these children as long as it was within her power.
That she would fight for these children, who had reawakened her human heart in a woman who had hated and wanted to destroy everything in her world.
* * *
And that promise soon faded away before her eyes.
“…… Ah.”
It’s burning.
The laboratory, which was a precious home and hope, was burning brightly.
Squishy.
A dull sound of footsteps is heard from behind.
Yuen turns her head with a squeak and sees her children through her eyes.
“S… Sha… you… sir.”
“…… “
My heart is beating fast.
Breathing becomes rough.
There were children in front of me.
But… It was no longer the person she knew.
You can see children who have been grotesquely intertwined and lumped together into lumps of flesh that can only be called monsters.
A familiar magic circle can be seen on the children’s torso.
The corpse soldier creation technique he developed.
Forbidden techniques that can be used without learning black magic, techniques sealed in a bracelet, were being used.
And in the center, you can see a man laughing like crazy.
The man with white hair and howling like a madman pointed his finger at himself.
He is a person with memory.
‘Phantom’s executive… ‘
Screaming at yourself.
I can’t understand what he’s saying.
But he could understand the emotions.
He is taking revenge for the sins he has committed.
In other words, it was revenge.
“…… “
Choi Si-woo quietly looked at the devastation before his eyes.
From now on, what you know will pass by.
Yuen, who killed the man and eliminated the children with his own hands, eventually collapsed completely.
Even the little heart she had left was shattered, and the shock caused her to stutter, lose trust in herself, and turn into a miserable woman who only pays attention to those around her.
The magic circle of purification that she developed over a long period of time also failed.
In the end, the curse placed on the world could not be overcome.
Not long after, a world on the verge of the apocalypse appears, as if it were the last.
“Cough, gasp… “
Yuan let out a rough breath and looked down with trembling eyes.
All limbs were cut off.
Right next to me stood a knight filled with darkness that could only be described as despair.
‘Well, I see…’ ‘
You are finally dying.
I can finally come to an end.
Yuan smiled at the corner of his mouth without realizing it.
Her tears are flowing down the corners of her eyes.
I was finally able to end my painful and painful life.
Close your eyes slowly.
Not long after, her head rolled away with a sound of being cut.
Tuk-.
“…… “
Choi Si-woo carefully picked up her head that was touching her feet.
Even though she couldn’t hold anything else, she held the still warm head in her arms, as if it were acceptable.
He wiped her face, which was stained with her flowing blood and dirt, clean.
I can see that he has a faint smile on his face, as if he is so comfortable.
Soon the world begins to collapse.
Cracked and crushed.
“…… “
When I opened my closed eyes, a completely different space unfolded before me.
The surroundings were full of luxurious interiors that seemed like they could only be purchased by paying a large amount of money.
Just as I was looking around, feeling as if I was continuing from the beginning, I heard a whimpering sound.
“Hmm… “
A girl was crying on a dark table.
A lot of fancy cakes and gourmet food were laid out in front of the girl with a cone hat on her head as if it were her birthday.
“…… ”
I quietly approached and unfolded the cards on the table.
The parents wrote an apology saying, ‘I’m sorry you couldn’t come.’
“… Yuen.”
The girl flinches at the call.
The little girl, who must have just turned 7, looked at Choi Si-woo.
“… Who… please?”
“…… “
What should I say?
What should I say?
What does this space mean?
Choi Si-woo quietly closed his eyes.
I looked back on the life of a woman named Yuen Joun that had just unfolded.
What did she want in the end?
Choi Si-woo, who soon came to a conclusion, pulled up a chair and sat down quietly.
“I came on behalf of you two. “Shall we sing a birthday song with this oppa?”
“… “Really?”
“Yes.”
He straightened the crooked cone hat and cut the food nearby with a knife so it was easy to eat.
Finally, he calmly held my hand.
“I’m sorry. For leaving me lonely… If only we had a calm conversation… If so… “It might have been a little different.”
“… Brother?”
Choi Si-woo smiled bitterly and took out the remaining candle and lit it.
Singing sounds accompany the applause.
The girl, with her eyes wide open, said ‘hu~’ and started blowing out her candles one by one.
The light disappears and darkness approaches.
One last remaining candle.
The girl who pulled it all off showed a bright smile in the fading light source.
“Thank you. Brother!”
“…… “
Soon everything is filled with darkness.
I quietly stretched out my hand.
Where the girl was, there was only a single fragment emitting a soft light.
‘… ‘The third.’
Stand up from your seat.
From Noble mtl dot com
Now there are two left.
While she was wondering where to go, the pattern engraved on her shoulder gave off a strong light.
“… Thank you. Goddess Pingchang.”
It may have been an blasphemous answer, but Moon-yang showed off his anger with great heat.
Choi Si-woo smiled softly and continued along the path guided by her pattern.
* * *
After passing through the old brown door, what I saw was a shabby rural village.
“… This place… “
It is a place with memories.
However, that is not a memory that Choi Si-woo personally embodied.
A dark memory from the other side.
I turned my attention to the commotion.
A girl with flowing platinum hair passes right in front of her.
The girl’s face was covered in mud as she was running around and saying ‘hehehehe’, wondering what was so fun.
Next to her, there was a boy who was also playing and covered in mud.
‘Erina… ‘
And it was Choi Si-woo in his childhood.
