Lude stepped closer to the woman of white roses. The monster, her white roses turning pink, said,
“I… I’ve actually been waiting for a hunter like you for a long time…”
The woman of white roses completely turned pink. Lude gently lifted her chin and said,
“Honestly, I felt the same.”
“Really?”
“Just kidding.”
Thud, Lude’s black half-scissor pierced the woman of roses. As he twisted and pulled out the scissor, sap oozed from the wound.
“Ah, aaah…”
The woman of white roses moaned in sorrow.
Lude shook off the scissors nonchalantly, thinking that it was over and 4th-grade gates were easy after all.
“What a shame… My pure heart crushed like this!!”
‘What…?’
Confused by her stronger-than-expected voice, Lude looked at the monster. She was now filled with transparent sap, solidifying.
The woman of roses stood up, spreading her arms. White rose stems sprouted continuously from her dress, covering the castle with a huge roof.
“Hey, wait…”
“Help, save us!”
As the hostages were absorbed by the rose vines, they were sucked into the woman of roses.
“Damn it…”
In a panic, Lude tried cutting the vines with his scissors, but it was no use. Resigned, he swung his scissor in the air.
Whoosh, black flames created by illusion burned the rose stems, causing them to disperse. The woman of roses laughed loudly.
“Your illusions and mind control don’t work on me! My father told me! Illusionists are all liars, and if you ‘don’t believe’, it won’t affect you!”
Damn, Lude bit his lip. The monster seemed to have some resistance to illusions or mental attacks.
Even now, the hostages’ vitality was being drained in real-time into the woman of roses. As the sucking sound echoed, the monster grew larger.
No choice left. Lude raised his scissors for a final attempt. A higher level of illusion, a power to dominate this space, was needed.
[The trait :: ‘Natural Lucid Dreamer’ activates!]
His scissors became imbued with his mental energy. If the hostages saw this, their minds would be significantly damaged, similar to those in the second stage. But that’s recoverable.
Of course, it might take months to recover.
Still, there was no other choice. This was an unavoidable problem.
‘Even so, isn’t it better to lose one’s mind in the gate rather than lose one’s body?’
[You should have done this from the beginning. Our Lude is so moderately kind that it’s a big problem, the Chaos Sovereign shakes his head in dismay.]Right, saving that elementary school student was just a fluke. Lude, with his evil nature, had no way to clear dungeons without causing harm to others.
Lude recalled the priest’s words, his claim of a better way. But that’s just an idealistic excuse.
More people in the world cannot practice the best method, and Lude was one of them.
Then, he had to do what he could.
Not what he wanted to do.
That was the life philosophy of Shin Bitnari, who had lived for 25 years.
But feeling more uncomfortable than usual was probably due to the priest and the words of gratitude from the elementary school student.
Because of mental manipulation, Lude had never directly heard words of gratitude. He always checked people’s reactions on the internet after the rescue.
But still, it didn’t matter. He was just doing this for money. It’s just that the words of gratitude felt a little unfamiliar.
A small mistake in this job, where trying to save someone could directly lead to their death or criticism of him, does not give him a sense of accomplishment.
Absolutely, absolutely. Absolutely not!
[You will soon enter the transition phase. Please relax your body.]“No matter how good the illusion is, it won’t work on me! If you don’t believe, that’s the end of it!”
The woman of white roses aggressively spread her rose stems, but the black mental energy boldly clung to them.
“Really?”
Click-click! Cameras filled the gate. Soon he would enter the dream.
After that, this place becomes Lude’s space.
“Can you really not believe?”
Lude spoke coolly to the monster. The black mental energy clung tightly to the rose stems.
He was already feeling quite uncomfortable, and at the thought of venting his anger on this monster…
“Lude! Wait!”
A sword embedded in the ceiling. The golden flames from the blade of the priest who had just spoken shone brightly.
[The trait :: ‘Everlasting Flame’ activates!]Whoosh, the unextinguishable holy flame quickly spread across the ceiling, burning the rose stems. Thud, thud, the rose stems turned to ash and fell to the ground.
“Ouch! Hot!”
The woman of white roses screamed and cut off the rose stems herself. The roof of rose stems turned into ash and vanished in an instant.
Thud, the white-armored priest landed lightly from the sky and set fire to the rose stems where the hostages were with his flames.
He then picked up his sword again.
“Run away quickly!”
“Thank you, thank you!”
The hostages, quickly regaining their strength from Gang I-Hyun’s flames, expressed their gratitude and ran outside.
His radiant blonde hair shone in the light of the holy flames.
Someone once said he was the absolute master of holy power. He was said to be someone whose mere existence brought rest to others.
“…”
Lude looked at Gang I-Hyun without saying a word. His expression gradually distorted. Gang I-Hyun looked at him awkwardly and smiled.
“Are you okay?! I wanted to come and help earlier, but I was delayed treating the people in the 2nd stage…”
“Go away!”
Lude scowled and looked at him. He was already feeling irritable because of Gang I-Hyun’s earlier words, and seeing ‘that guy’s’ face made him even more upset.
‘I struggled so hard, and he makes it look so easy…’
Lude ground his teeth and raised his voice at him.
“Did you come here to preach again?! So, what? You’re here to boast that you don’t cause harm to people, but I do?!”
“No, that’s not what I meant…!”
“I know all that crap better than anyone, so get lost. Disappear from my sight right now!”
Gang I-Hyun looked at Lude in response to his words. His face expressed immense frustration.
“Please, just let me finish what I’m trying to say!”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
