261 – Final Chapter (14)
Her bloodmaid forgot her name.
It’s been quite a while since she lost it.
She
One thing she remembers instead is that when she was young, she was especially afraid of the dark.
She probably was when she was about ten or eleven years old.
— “Move quickly! Don’t worry about your sprained ankle! Come here. You’re going to need a few more hits!”
— Wow!
— “If I sit there holding my legs one more time, I know I’ll be hanging on for a week!”
Hanging literally meant being locked in solitary confinement and hanging.
If you were tied tightly and hanging on a rope as thick as a snake, your skin would feel sore at first, then the area it touched would start to tingle, your whole body would feel hot as if it were on fire, and then you would faint, repeatedly.
More than anything, this corporal punishment was meaningful in that it was abandoned and left unattended. No one checks their status until the time is up.
Emptiness where there is no reason to moan because there is no one to listen.
The wounds that occurred at that time still remained on the blood girl’s back and waist.
It was that kind of daily life.
It was because his parents sold him to a brothel.
I also thought that they might have had their own circumstances.
But there was no time to think deeply.
If you didn’t work even a little hard, you were cursed, beaten, strangled, and imprisoned.
I was scared and scared every day.
For a girl who has just turned ten.
‘It might be better to sell your body.’
It was one day when she had that thought.
In a brothel, a prostitute is a product.
At least I won’t get hit.
Being tied to a rope.
You won’t have to get whipped.
‘You won’t have to be locked in solitary confinement…’
I was once an abandoned child.
The blood girl was afraid of the dark more than anything.
The darkness that seems like it will one day eat you up.
— Clink!
While thinking about that, I overturned my teacup.
It was a car to take out to guests.
Her palms were cut and her blood was flowing freely, but the blood girl fell to the floor and prayed for her mistakes.
I didn’t even care that the hot tea was burning my wounds.
“Well… I was wrong.”
There was a particularly large woman.
The person everyone called Madam always treated her young blood daughter mercilessly.
She always carried a small whip in her pocket, and used it to beat her if she did anything wrong.
“You useless b*tch!”
Wow!
The turning head. The world went pitch black and then came back.

“Sorry… Sorry…”
“Shut up you slut!”
Peook.
The beating has begun.
I was used to feeling sick.
But every time I got hit too hard, I was afraid of my vision turning pitch black.
I was afraid of the crazy eyes I saw when I opened my eyes in a hurry.
“Come on. Let’s gouge out your eyes. It’s better for a useless b*tch like you.”
This woman knew that the young blood girl was especially afraid of the dark. At the same time, he was the type of person that tormented her, made her happy, and relieved her accumulated stress.
She is a woman who really does things.
Even if I didn’t know about both eyes, one of them could have been cut.
The shards of the teacup she held in her hand were particularly sharp.
“Ah… No.”
The blood girl stepped behind her, as if crawling on the floor.
But at the same time, I realized.
There is no means of resistance.
The woman in front of me was so big and vicious.
I couldn’t even think of a way to escape.
It was hopeless.
That moment.
— Suddenly!
The world was suddenly colored red.
Red flowers floated in the air and began cutting down everything they touched.
It wasn’t magic.
There is no magic that can dye the whole world such an ominous red.
But in the eyes of the blood girl, that red light was more gorgeous than anything else.
At least it wasn’t darkness.
Boom!
Madame collapses.
Her mouth, which had been spitting out all sorts of threats, just twitched. Only a few streams of blood flowed.
The poison has gone somewhere and Madame’s eyes are just white.
“…Ah.”
Her blood daughter sensed that she was dead.
Surprisingly, the corpse I saw for the first time was not scary.
Only then did I realize that the fear that was weighing me down was nothing.
— Jeopuk.
I heard footsteps.
A man walked in.
He muttered as if he was annoyed.
“There is one little boy left. What are you? Are you a slave?”
“… Yes.”
“A young thing doesn’t even have vitality. Pretend you didn’t see what happened here. Then I’ll save you.”
“… Yes.”
Jeobbuk.
I called out to the man who was walking away with his shoes covered in blood.
“Uncle. What is that?”
“Blood arts.”
“Can I learn too?”
The man looked down at himself as if he were dumbfounded.
Strangely enough, the young blood girl was not afraid of him.
No, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Strong.
Because I realized that only strength can save anything.
Seeing Madame, the woman she feared the most, collapse.
In this way, the blood girl grew up in Shaleam Bridge.
He was of the Ten Presidencies. She was above the Trinity and was a blood witch.
She became a blood witch because she hated being called a blood witch.
The reason she hated that title was simply because she hated the word witch. Her words, calling her blood daughter herself, were thus destined to be hateful.
It doesn’t matter what.
There is no reason to care what others call me.
Becoming infinitely stronger.
Because only that blind goal can guide you.
… That’s why.
“……”
The blood girl stared blankly at her Ian’s hand.
Brilliant.
In a dark world where even oneself has been lost, there is a brilliance that brightens the future.
The element he held in one hand was so pure that it had the power to purify everything the moment it touched it.
The raw power held in the other hand was so devastating that even the blood girl herself, who was looking at it, had to think about her life again.
The two come together and come to mind.
Even though energy cannot be combined, that common sense is broken.
The blood girl stared at her pitch-black sphere that floated above her own head.
She wasn’t sure if she could define it as black. She just seemed black because she had absorbed all the light.
“……”
The blood woman realized.
Darkness was no longer scary.
It is dark with everything inside it.
It is salvation.
“Ah…”
Just like the first time she saw it, tears streamed down her face once again.
But the black sphere continued to get smaller.
— Let’s go!
Endless compression.
The moment when I thought I had crossed a certain threshold.
— ……
All crackling sounds disappear.
The wind pressure and violent energy clashes that filled the surroundings all disappeared as if nothing had happened.
Quiet.
If you are in it, you will feel it intuitively.
‘It’s going to explode.’
This eerie silence foretells a violent explosion.
The blood girl instinctively put up her protective shield.
Then it stopped.
Ian.
I don’t know what that child believed, but he stood still without protecting his own body at all.
Is it faith?
No. Maybe he was an order.
If you don’t want to lose me, protect yourself.
The blood girl had never heard anyone’s orders.
But it didn’t matter.
Ian is his own salvation.
The blood girl hugged him and spread her protective shield.
And she rolled over.
An explosion usually sounds like something exploding. But it was different now. There is no sound.
— Kkakdeukdeukdeuk!
Instead, the space crumples and collapses.
“…!”
The first shield crumples and disappears.
The second time, it falls to pieces.
At this time, the blood girl sensed her death.
Third time.
When all the protective shields were finally broken.
“……”
The blood girl quietly blinked her eyes.
Surprisingly, there was no fear of her death.
This overwhelming state that filled the surroundings was definitely stronger than death.
It was the ultimate strength.
This was the state the blood woman had hoped for.
Strong enough to drive away even death.
“Ah…”
The blood girl moaned and wrapped her body around Ian.
It was good anyway.
Even if the original woman is destroyed, it doesn’t matter as long as she can be in this splendor.
She muttered.
The blood girl smiled softly and hugged her Ian.
The sound that had been crumpling together in space broke through the boundary.
— Kwaaa!
The sound of a belated explosion enveloped the whole world.
Through the gaps where all the colors contained in the blackness pop out,
The blood girl witnessed the collapsing barrier of Shaleam Bridge.
◆
— Kwaaang!
The rapier and the ax touch each other.
The gap in power seems obvious at first glance.
However, the woman holding the rapier only took a few steps back.
The man with the ax laughs.
“Seolwha Sword Emperor. Just as famous.”
This nobleman chuckled with a huge ax hanging over his shoulder. The ultimate leisure. A gigantic monster was appearing on the horizon behind him.
Whatever that bizarre monster was, Asilia only stared at the man in front of her.
“I can’t pass this place.”
Lee Jonwi.
In Shaleam Bridge, a person with the highest level of power next to the religious leader.
Excluding the cult leader who oscillates between human and god status, he may be the strongest.
Asilia straightened her sword.
“You can’t pass? hahahahaha! Why, if you say that, do you think I’ll avoid this place?”
“If possible, I hope so.”
“Keuheuhehehehe! For a woman with the title of Seolhwageomje, she’s too mean-spirited. No. Is it because she’s a woman?”
“……”
Asilia was not caught up in the provocation.
The entire academy is clearly at a disadvantage.
This western direction had to be protected at all costs.
As if reading Asilia’s will in her eyes, this nobleman opened her mouth as if to sneer.
“The leader will be here soon. Even if you, or more precisely, you and the group of cadets standing behind me, block me, nothing will change.”
“……”
“Well, there’s no need to go all the way to the cult leader. Do you see that monster? I don’t even know what it is.”
Tsk tsk.
Lee Jonwi laughed.
That moment.
— Kieeek!
The monster let out a strange scream.
“… What is it?”
Lee Jonwi’s eyes are filled with astonishment.
At the same time.
— Kwaaa!
A huge explosion erupted from the Shadow Forest.
Asilia noticed.
Something big is changing.

It may have been the only hope for this dark situation.
