“Ah, no. Mina, Mina. Mina……”
At last, the man having a nightmare cried out in despair.
Wherever my feet touched, the scent of flowers bloomed.
Everyone’s dreams would be different. Some would have happy dreams, while others would dream of impossible fantasies.
“……”
An uneasy feeling remained. I looked around at the now-quiet surroundings.
As I faced the scattered wind, watching the scene I had created.
……From somewhere, a voice both strange and familiar was heard.
“My, you’ve dealt with it quite spectacularly?”
“Ha, don’t underestimate me. This is nothing.”
“……”
Not even giving me time to catch my breath.
Irritatedly turning my head, there was one familiar face and one unfamiliar one.
“Kim Jinsang?”
“What do you mean Kim Jinsang, you idiot!”
“……Where have I seen you before…?”
I had the impression that he had caused trouble, but I couldn’t remember exactly in what situation I had met him. As I tilted my head, he chuckled and struck a strange pose.
“Well, there’s no need to tell someone who’s about to die anyway.”
Ah, right. That guy who just cried helplessly when we got caught up in a gate not long after I joined Cheonrang…!
Just as I was about to say something, a huge hand came down on me from above. I barely managed to roll away, but one question remained.
“You dodged that?”
“……Are you on their side too, mister? Ragnarok or whatever?”
“Well, I don’t know what misunderstanding you have… but I’ve been on this side from the start?”
As he reached out his hand again, a translucent hand snatched me from the air with a strong gust of wind.
“I went through the trouble of infiltrating, but then I got caught up in a gate with you. It ruined the infiltration and everything, so the plan had to be completely revised.”
“……Ah.”
There was one memory that came to mind.
The sight of him repeatedly calling out one person’s name, as if having a nightmare.
“……I’ll ask just one thing.”
“Hmm, let’s hear it.”
“Are you also the type who doesn’t care who dies as long as you achieve your goal?”
The two people who heard my question started laughing. Among them, the man walked slowly, firmly stepping on those I had put to sleep.
“Hahaha, you. You’re misunderstanding something……”
“Our goal from the beginning was to kill ‘everyone’ in this world. Destruction, isn’t it wonderful?”
“Don’t steal my lines!”
“……”
“Anyway, it’s for the ‘right path’. Don’t resent us too much, ugh. What, is this…!”
The pressure binding me was released. Landing on the ground like a butterfly, I approached him with slow steps.
“It seems you’re the one misunderstanding.”
One flower, then another.
As the blooming flowers filled the surroundings with their scent, the extending stems tightly bound him like ropes.
“Who said things would go according to your plan?”
“Kuk, huk.”
The man, who had been horrified at the sight of flowers blooming from his own body, fainted on the spot.
The woman left alone looked at me and the man, then smiled.
Despite the unfavorable situation, her composed appearance suddenly made me feel unpleasant.
“I thought you were a special awakened one… Are you the ‘Yohwa’?”
“……”
“Seeing as you’re not answering, I guess I’m right.”
“Are you going to attack?”
“No, even I’m not reckless enough to attack the Fairy King without fear. Ah, or are you still the heir?”
“……”
A strange impulse whispered to me.
Isn’t that person beautiful? She’s really pretty, isn’t she? Since she’s a bad person anyway…
Wouldn’t it be truly beautiful if we used her as a flower pot and made flowers bloom?
At that moment, she flinched and moved away from me.
“……This is why I hate the fairy folk.”
The woman, irritatedly brushing up her hair and throwing off her mask, smiled.
“Innocent to the point of cruelty, and pure to the point of horror.”
Sometimes I would be caught up in feelings I couldn’t control.
A strange sensation as if I wasn’t myself. Or, an impulse that comes with an unfamiliar sense of liberation.
At those times, I would be tempted by ridiculous impulses.
“It can’t be helped. I can’t fail the plan……”
The woman’s voice, having disappeared from sight once again, echoed through the air. As if that matters when I can still sense everything.
However, I was still inexperienced.
“Aren’t you being too overconfident?”
“……!”
She was in front just a moment ago!
The woman who appeared quickly behind me, without even giving me time to notice, embraced me.
“You know, when you can’t win.”
Was there laughter in that whispering voice?
“You should just get rid of it, right?”
The moment I tried to react, I was already somewhere else.
[This is the timeline separator]Just as the woman who had finally succeeded in getting rid of the nuisance was about to conquer the last remaining crystal.
Lightning struck from the clear sky. As if giving a warning, it stopped right in front of her, threateningly scorching the ground.
[This is the timeline separator]An excessively quiet guild. The interior of the building in such a mess that one might think there was a grudge against it. The guild members who followed Cheon Shin Woo looked bewildered at the situation that seemed like traces of terrorism.
It was too quiet to have declared a siege, but there were a few people collapsed as if something had happened.
As soon as he arrived at the guild, Cheon Shin Woo headed straight for the rooftop.
The bloomed flower scent dispersed into the air, and what remained in its place was angry lightning.
The woman who had barely survived clutched her scorched wound.
“Ha…… I thought I had taken care of the boss, but there was a final boss separately.”
“Where’s Shina.”
“Nothing’s going right… Damn 21st.”
“Where did Shina go.”
The excessively low voice seemed devoid of any emotion at first listen. Nevertheless, the woman retreated, feeling an inexplicable chill.
“Hey, spare me, will you?”
“……”
As soon as those words ended, a rope made of light enveloped the woman. With a faint electric current flowing through the rope, the woman swallowed nervously.
Cheon Shin Woo, who had used a skill to bind her, walked slowly.
“You have only two choices.”
The coldly tempered voice was like a sharp weapon in itself.
“First, die here and now.”
“Second, speak and then die?”
“……”
“Ahahaha! This is really funny, you know? Who would have thought? That the great Jeokcheon Cheon Shin Woo could make such an expression… But you know.”
[Error!]“Aren’t you, being too careless?”
[Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error!] [Abnormal access detected.] [Error!] [System :: â–©â–©â–©’s â–©;∬ is forcibly occurring……]A massive vortex of darkness arose centered on the bound woman, and a piercing ringing sound that tore through space resonated hugely.
“Ah, aah….. We……”
As the woman who had sacrificed herself for a single wish screamed her last words.
A massive gate, born from devouring life, swallowed up the surroundings.
[This is the timeline separator]A pungent smell brushed my nose.
This kind of beginning, it’s the second time already.
I got up, frowning at the traces of filth and stench.
Where that woman threw me… I don’t know. Hands and feet bound, vision obstructed. It’s truly a déjà vu situation.
The funny thing is, even in this situation, I’m not feeling nervous.
Maybe it’s because the events I’ve experienced so far have been too spectacular, or perhaps it’s due to that skill called mental barrier or whatever.
My head was ringing, as if I had hit it when I fell.
I gritted my teeth and tried to undo the shackles on my hands. No, I tried to.
“It’s useless. Those are shackles specialized in blocking magic power.”
“What…?”
Why are such things on my wrists? No, more importantly, who answered just now?
I fumbled with my obscured vision and asked the person in front of me.
“……Where is this?”
As soon as I spoke, a sharp pain struck my head. It wasn’t too severe, but since my head was already ringing, it added to the dizziness.
“You speak briefly. If you’re a slave, crawl like one.”
The coercive voice reminded me of the situation just before.
In the suddenly declared siege, I was alone defending the guild when I met a strange woman, and I thought I could win, but I was caught off guard. In a moment of carelessness, I was transported somewhere, and in the meantime, I was knocked out after taking a hard hit to the head…
“Slave?”
And when I opened my eyes, I had become a slave. Is that the situation?
