153. Where the eyes cannot reach (5)
153. Where the eyes cannot reach (5)
Rolling around-
While I was falling down the hill, I thought about my past.
‘What wrong did I do to Bluebell?’
First of all, the first thing that comes to mind is.
When I secretly quit being Bluebell’s tutor.
Did you have a grudge against me because of that and threw me into this hell?
‘Hmm… ‘
That’s probably not true.
Because he was forgiven, and the long-tailed bluebell seemed to have been forgotten.
‘So, because I’m engaged to Nadia?’
That’s probably not true either.
Because I know that I didn’t get engaged because I wanted to.
‘So you’re really saying that I have to roll and fall like this to survive?’
No matter how much you think about it, the conclusion is that way.
Bluebell threw me in the middle of enemy lines to save me.
The front and back don’t match at all.
I bet on the one with the highest probability.
Because a future where nothing is visible would be better than a future that is set in stone.
What I should do in that situation was decided.
“… “This doesn’t mean you have to survive without dying.”
Fussuk-
The sand acted as a buffer, so we came down from the hill to the flat without a scratch.
I shook the sand off my body and looked straight ahead.
Kugugugugu-
The sand on the floor was shaking, and the knights in front were running toward me.
They all had bloody faces.
“What on earth can I do to survive here? “Aren’t you just trying to kill me?”
I looked up the hill.
The culprit of this situation was waving his hand and shouting at me.
“Damian!! Survive at all costs!! “If you die, die to me!!”
“What do you mean, you want to kill me twice?”
“My role ends here!! You must stay alive until I return!! Got it!?”
Hodadadak-
Bluebell left only that cry and ran to the other side.
Bluebell was no longer visible.
“You fooled me, Bluebell!”
Is this how I receive karma?
I went into depression mode, and my will to live began to fade.
At that moment, Nadia slowly came down from the hill while floating in the air.
“Why are you standing there like such an idiot, Damian?”
“Nadia!”
“I told you I wouldn’t let you die. Don’t stand there like you’ve already given up. The Damian I knew tried to survive like a cockroach. “It’s different from ants.”
I am thankful that it is different from ants, but why is it a cockroach?
Nadia continued her words.
“Bluebell. That woman said she would come back. Although she didn’t tell me the whole plan. “It seemed like he had an idea.”
“… “I guess that’s true.”
I lost my mind for a moment.
I knew that Bluebell would not betray me.
The only problem was how to resolve this situation.
Nadia said, looking at the knights approaching from the other side.
“I’m not happy that Damien’s life depends on that woman. It would be better to believe it once. “So that I don’t regret losing you.”
“… “
“I will do everything I can, Damian. Don’t die, live. Without you “Because I think you’ll end up hating the person I am now.”
“Then I will have to live no matter what.”
I barely managed to bring about change.
She ends up hating the change she has made.
I couldn’t stand by and watch my efforts go to waste.
So instead of running away, I decided to fight against the princess’s knights approaching from afar.
***
A fight between 2 people and 8000 people.
Fighting on flat ground with an opponent 4000 times stronger than you is almost crazy.
No matter how strong the ability is,
There is no way to use force in a volume offensive.
As long as Nadia’s restrictions exist, the opponent will recover from his wounds and charge again.
“The Duke of Verdium cannot kill anyone. “Don’t back down, sacrifice your body!!”
The princess’s knights were well aware of that fact.
Therefore, they firmly believed that winning in the desert was their victory.
“You will never die, so charge!!”
“Hmm, who did that? “I can’t kill people.”
Nadia lightly laughed at the knights’ voices.
The knights felt chilled by that beautiful yet creepy smile.
Nadia recalled the conversation she had with Bluebell before going down the hill.
‘Hey, painter.’
‘… ‘Call me Nadia.’
‘Nadia. Go down and take good care of Damian. ‘If Damian dies, he’ll kill you first.’
‘Hmm, can you kill me?’
‘Yes. You can’t kill me, right? ‘I don’t know if it’s down that hill.’
‘… ‘That’s Orcia down there?’
‘I’m not sure. Maybe. ‘Borders aren’t always straight, right?’
‘… The evidence is too weak.’
‘But what can I do? The best future is when this method is used. Because the results are good. ‘Wouldn’t the process be good too?’
‘A good process brings good results. It’s such a cliché. Still, it’s better than staying still and dying.’
The evidence is weak, not certain, and there is a high probability that things will go astray.
However, I decided it was the best I could do in this situation.
Nadia spread her palms towards the knights.
“I stretched out my hand and now I understand. “It doesn’t snow here.”
Nadia let out a deep breath and cupped his palm, her eyes glowing green.
Kwajik-!
A large hole appeared in the procession of knights.
They were crushed like ants.
“It won’t be easy, though. “I can protect it.”
Pisik-
Nadia is smiling.
Damian whispered while sweating.
“Nadia… I don’t hear anything strange… ?”
“I can hear someone whispering in my ear. A voice like, ‘Come to the basement.’ But, I don’t really care if I can hear Damien’s voice. “Please continue to be by my side and let me hear your voice, Damien.”
“… Okay.”
Damian nodded his head.
At the same time, Nadia swung his arm widely.
“K, keaaak-!!”
A huge hand swept across the desert.
The knights who flew into his hands became one with the sand.
I couldn’t get up due to the shock.
The knights were visibly embarrassed by the situation going differently than expected.
“I heard you can’t kill people…” “
“If this happens… What should we do… ?”
Fear of death is a human instinct.
There was no one who could step forward courageously after seeing their comrades dying in front of them.
“Pathetic things.”
Until the princess, their spiritual leader, appears.
The princess painted gold in this situation.
Raelia.
She, who was resting behind the knights, raised her voice and shouted.
“If you are afraid of death. Darkness will come to the empire. What can defeat the darkness over the empire? The moon, not the sun. I, Raelia, will light up the darkness. I ask you guys. Do you want to see your family in the empire burn to death? If you don’t die, your family in the empire will die. Offer your lives and make me emperor. “That is the only way you can truly live.”
At Raelia’s words, the knights held their weapons tightly.
“I, I have to die…” My family… “
“The peace of the empire… I, I have to… “
The moment when I became more afraid of my family’s death than the fear of death.
The knights took a step forward from where they had stopped.
Raelia watched her without changing her expression.
Because she thought it was natural.
‘If you put your family on the line and say that you are doing it for the world, a sense of justice will bloom as if you are something.’
Raelia was skilled at roasting and boiling such people.
“Go, let’s go-!! For my empire-!!!”
“Kill the man-!!”
Wow-!!
The knights who had been hesitant gathered together and formed a crowd.
Nadia clicked her tongue at that sight.
“It’s going to be a bother.”
“… “If you get stuck, I’ll take care of it.”
“Without dying. “Try to move carefully.”
It’s difficult to deal with someone who is prepared to die.
The two began to focus, entrusting their lives to each other.
Let’s not let today be each other’s last.
***
The fight continued day and night.
Thousands of people also died.
Because the knights were not monkeys, they slowly got a feel for Nadia’s abilities.
“If you are caught in sight, you die!! “When attention is focused on one side, knights from the other direction advance!!”
“Those pesky ants… “
The knights found an opening and advanced forward.
Although there were surprise raids by special forces, Damian dealt with them and drove them out.
However, even that was gradually approaching its limit.
“… As a rule of thumb, 3,000. Not good.”
Desert sand wind.
Nadia’s eyes were becoming increasingly dry.
Her tears came out, and she could not see clearly.
Every time that happens, the knights take advantage of the opportunity and march forward.
A place where the eyes cannot reach.
Damian stands on the border between the two.
His knights were approaching him to deliver condemnation.
No matter how much Nadia resists.
“… “
The future seemed difficult to change.
Even Yuri, who rushed over at the sound of an intense battle.
“Oh, uh… “
On top of a high hill.
Yuri saw Damian lying at the bottom of the hill.
Damian lies on the ground, blood splattered on the sand.
Nadia was staring at that figure, as if she was in shock.
“Damian… ?”
Yuri even forgot the sound of the camel coming from behind.
He looked at the scene with empty eyes.
Soon, he clenched his fist tightly.
“… “I can’t forgive you.”
You who killed Damian.
Nadia, who left Damien to die.
I myself could not do anything while Damian died.
“Never… I can never forgive you… “
Yuri, tears streaming down the desert, rushed at the thousands of knights with his bare fists.
At the end of her persistent gaze, the princess was sitting in her chair with a leisurely smile.
“As much as I was taken away… Try it too… “
It was the moment when Yuri’s revenge for losing everything began.
“… “You should not die easily.”
Including Nadia, who is shedding bloody tears.
***
She was taken by surprise.
Well, no matter how big your hands are.
Water was bound to leak out through the cracks in her fingers.
It is difficult to survive against dozens of knights.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Cough-“
Blood flows from her mouth.
Is this how you die?
But why is the magic light not visible?
I was curious about what it felt like.
‘… ‘It doesn’t look strange.’
Not all my curiosity was resolved.
It is a death that leaves one feeling slightly regretful.
In the end, the rehabilitation of the villains also failed due to my death.
Before they met me.
No, she will end up becoming an even more evil woman than the original.
‘Because it is more painful to lose someone later than to lose someone from the beginning.’
Now, the country will be let off its leash, and the villains will begin to run wild with their own abilities.
In this world with an abnormal balance.
People, including my family, will suffer as a result.
Even the villains will suffer.
Through the gaps in my eyes that are slowly closing, I see people getting off their camels.
These are familiar faces.
“Damian-!!”
“Blue… bell… and… “
“Don’t open your mouth! Blood, blood is flowing… Go, stay still! Quick, quick! “Get treatment, you idiots!”
Bluebell hurriedly pressed her bleeding area.
It was hard to see, but it looked like she was shedding tears.
Before I lost consciousness, I stroked the crying Bluebell’s cheek.
And, since I thought it would be the last time I saw him, I left a sincere will.
“Bluebell… “
“Don’t open your mouth, you idiot!!”
“Even if I die… Don’t kill the territory’s residents… Don’t die… “
“You’ve never killed Young Ji-min?! Because if you live, I won’t die either! Stop talking! “You idiot!”
“…”
I don’t even have the strength to answer now.
Is the last thing I hear a curse from Bluebell?
Not bad.
Like that, I looked up at the desert sky and closed my eyes.
