Chapter 390 – For a Surprisingly Happy Ending (3)
Lucia, Liana, Vivian, Bianca, Baekso, Lilith.
Last night with them was so ecstatic that I had never experienced it before.
It wasn’t that he was intoxicated with pleasure.
Rather, it was closer to proving their affection for each other while excluding pleasure as much as possible.
But, paradoxically, getting drunk on affection rather than pleasure…
It brought me such strong pleasure that I could even say that today was the last day of my life.
Right before leaving the barrier, I looked around at everyone’s faces and said.
“Then, the final boss subjugation begins.”
***
It wasn’t until I entered the cave that I realized something was strange.
“…Lucia.”
“Yes, master. Something suspicious.”
Last time I was still imitating a normal cave…
Right now, near the entrance, blood and chunks of meat were scattered, and above all, it was clearly emitting demonic energy.
Rustling─
While I was grasping the situation for a while, the same kind of bear monster I saw before appeared in the snowstorm.
Did you smell blood?
The moment he came close to Magi to eat the meat, his eyes widened in a daze.
Chow-!
Tentacles shot out from inside the cave and covered his entire body.
Quick ─ Fast ─
And what follows is the scene of the monster being dismembered alive.
No matter how much it is a monster, the sight of something being dismembered alive was not very pleasant.
“It’s no joke from the start… What about that? If anyone sees it, it would be dangerous…”
Bianca whispered to her in her low voice and came out, tapping her Lilith’s chest.
“Do not worry! That release will solve it!!”
Whoa-!
Soon after, a bright light spread around Lilith’s body, and then landed on our heads.
“Whoa…! Blessings to everyone! There won’t be any demonic infiltration for a while now!”
“Thank you. Lilith.”
“Whoop whoop! It’s still early to give thanks! The effect is not only that! Teacher!”
Lilith smiled confidently and put her hands to her temples and closed her eyes.
[I! It’s a release! Can you hear me? Teacher?]
Then Lilith’s voice echoed in her head.
[This…?]
[I am a teacher after all! You immediately realize how to use it! Just in case, I prayed to the goddess, and I got this ability!]
〈 Whispers of Temptation〉
When I checked the status window slightly, it seemed that it was not a blessing from the goddess, but rather that her Yin Demon side of the ability was awakened at the same time… But it didn’t matter if either was helpful.
[I enter.]
The inside of the cave was full of demons, but just as Lilith said, the blessings could not be penetrated and scattered.
Bang-! Bang-!
However, the only thing Lilith’s blessing blocks is Maggie.
The tentacles that crawled out without a break somehow avoided and ran with the body.
After running for a long time avoiding the growing tentacles as we went inside, I saw a world where everything was reversed through the crack in the open door.
[Everyone run!]
Before being caught by the rushing tentacles, I managed to get through the door and at the same time my body was rising, no, falling.
Whoops-!
I can feel the sensation of someone grabbing my brain and shaking it to the point where I can’t even distinguish up, down, left and right.
[Everyone grab the person next to you!]
As she shouted in her head, she grabbed Lucia with one hand and reached for Liana with her other hand, but she barely reached it.
‘…Shit!’
I wanted to go back and hold on to it, but the error in my senses made it impossible to even know if I was really moving forward, so I couldn’t go back.
‘Lucia too!!’
While hugging Lucia, blow her telekinesis in the opposite direction from where she fell, reducing her falling speed.
Koo-!
“Lucia! Are you okay?”
“Yes, thanks to the master’s protection… But the others…?”
“Wait a minute… I’ll check it now.”
Close your eyes, concentrate, and talk to everyone.
[Can you hear me? If anyone hears, please answer!]
Let’s go, Lilith and Vivian came in contact.
[Teacher!]
[Yu… Eugene!]
[Release! Vivian! There are no injuries anywhere!]
[Yes! Teacher! Thanks to Vivian-nim’s help, I’m safe!]
[Ah…No…Because of Lilith’s protection…]
[Wait there. If you tell me what you see around you, I’ll go find you…]
[No! Teacher!]
When Lilith looks up, she sees a creeping horror wriggling tentacles.
Seeing that disgusting appearance, the fear of meeting the ‘revived corruption’ in the underground water wells up.
But…
[We are here to help you, not to get help!]
I have no intention of just being protected by the teacher like back then.
[The teacher has always worked hard! So this time, it’s Lilith’s turn to do her best! That’s right, Vivian!]
[Yes…Yes!..That’s right…!…I and Lilith will protect this place…So…Everyone…Go back..]
Now he is no longer the one who needs to be protected by the teacher.
He was also a fellow fighter.
“Release..!. …I’ll leave the defense to you!”
“Yes! Vivian! Just believe in that release!”
Hua Aak ─ !!
Lilith stretched out her hand「Sacred Shield」Enveloping this Vivien, Vivian chanted magic with her cold eyes.

“《Tear— Crush — Kill — Storm — Dragon — Fangs]”
***
[I’m not a noble or a princess like other women.]
Faced with the endlessly rising army of ‘Revived Corruption’ in front of her, Bianca bumped her fists.
Enemies are many, and this one is alone.
[It’s not that I’m not very talented, but I don’t have an extremely complicated past.]
But don’t give up.
Not only in fights but also in love, Bianca was always at a disadvantage.
[… She’s just her bad-tempered older sister who just had a bad relationship with her brother. Well, even though she has now reconciled.]
But now, what does it mean to have so many enemies?
[So what? I am the one who loves you the most in the world.]
Bianca said, not with her despair-stained face, but with her confident eyes.
[So… Trust me here and leave it to me. I’ll follow you soon. Eugene.]
[…If you say that now, I fall in love with you.]
[Then it’s a success. I told you to fall in love.]
As Bianca giggled, a new voice entered the conversation.
[Please don’t worry too much. Mr. West. A girl is by this ugly thing.]
[Soso?]
[Yes, Mr. Seo’s wife is coming. The girl will help this ugly thing, so don’t hesitate and go ahead.]
[…Yes, please.]
Taat-
“What… When did you come?”
Baek So-so, who had jumped up next to Bianca, sighed.
“Haa.. I’ve been looking for you hard. Can’t you become a wife and let the concubine do the weight alone?”
“Ha, that’s really fucking…”
Aaaaa!
‘ Baring fangs in front of the army of ‘resurrected corruption’mad dog’ Spewing poison ‘White sand’ He said.
“…Don’t die.”
“Yes, please don’t die either.”
**
[Yep. A bad dragon doesn’t suit a princess.]
What Liana sees in front of her is a huge red dragon wrapped in flames and demonic energy.
Tingling─ Tingling─
The moment she sees the eyes of the red dragon, goose bumps run down her spine.
Would the ‘corruption’, which was divided into four knights, have that much power if their powers were gathered in one place?
I don’t know if I can win.
But I don’t think I’ll ever lose.
[Well, I’m not a princess, but a princess… But I’ll be enduring it well… Please quickly defeat the demon king and come. Prince.]
…Because I haven’t met Yuna yet.
[…Doesn’t it defeat you before then?]
[Oh, aren’t you expecting too much from the fragile princess?]
[Careful. Liana.]
[Yes, I love you. Master ♪]
Kreureung─!
As they finished their conversation, the red dragon opened its mouth and spewed fire, and Lianna whispered, pointing her long white fingers at her.
「Break ─ break ─ collapse」
***
Kwaaang-! Bang-! Bang-!
Explosions are heard everywhere.
It wasn’t just words that were transmitted through Lilith’s abilities.
Fear, confusion, fear, anxiety.
All kinds of negative emotions are felt along with the voice.
But…
In it, the fire of hope was not extinguished.
‘Believe.’
As long as hope is not extinguished in their emotions, they have no choice but to believe.
So, without looking back, Yujin and I run to the ‘final boss’ at the top of the tower.
That’s that-
Looking at the back of Eugene running towards the top of the tower, Lucia remembered.
‘…It’s been a long time.’
Arrived here after going through many rounds.
If it was now, it seemed that no matter how this world ended, I would not regret it.
“…Master.”.
In front of the door where the ‘final boss’ is waiting, Lucia held out her hand towards Eugene.
“No, Eugene. Together at the end…”
“Huh. Lucia.”
With one hand tightly clasped together, the other hand opened the door at the same time.
Kiki-Ik-!
Whoaaaaa!!
The moment the door opened, the power gushing out far exceeded Lucia’s expectations.
When I opened this door in the first playthrough, it wasn’t so terrible.
‘I’m much stronger than I was back then… Is there a chance of winning?’
Lucia, comparing the possibilities moment by moment in her head, shook her head.
‘Doesn’t care…’
When I was with Eugene, I wasn’t afraid of whoever the opponent was.
Lucia puts more strength into her hand and holds it tight.
“Let’s go, Eugene.”
Sending her a sincere smile, let’s go inside with Eugene…
It stings─
A sharp sensation felt at her fingertips.
At the same time, even with Lucia’s mental barrier, unbearable drowsiness pours in.
‘…Nonsense..’
Lucia’s eyes widen.
How the hell
I have prepared as much as I can.
No amount of ‘Final Boss’ mental attacks could have put her to sleep so suddenly.
‘…What about Eugene?’
No, it doesn’t matter what happens now.
Above all else, Eugene’s safety was important.
The moment Lucia barely lifted her eyelids to check Eugene’s face.
“…Sorry.”
Checking her sadly smiling expression, Lucia only then realized what had happened.
‘Don’t do it…’
This man was about to sacrifice himself for me this time too.
‘No…!’
If her mouth moved, I wanted to beg her not to.
No matter how strong the enemy…
Even if we can’t save the world…
Being with you at the last moment was enough.
But why… What the hell why!
Are you willing to sacrifice yourself, leaving me behind?
‘No…No!!…I hate it…!!’
I cursed the body that did not move, but now the curse of sleep that is so thick that I can’t deny it pours down.
Yujin, who carefully put me down in the midst of her fading senses, whispered.
“Love you.”
A word that would have conveyed the happiness of having the whole world.
But for now, it feels like his goodbye, and my heart is about to break.
‘…Don’t go.’
After confirming that Lucia was completely unconscious, Eugene put down one of her diaries and entered the door…
Kooung─
The door is closed.
