273. Bloody Despair – (5)
***
hooked! Fufufufu!
A bloody thorn that mercilessly pierces the weak human body.
And the splendid flow of blood was like a strange phenomenon.
So when I saw Han Chun-seong standing in front of me.
…nothing came to mind.
It seemed as if the world had stopped as it was with a scream like a dying horse.
‘why… … .’
Really why?
The reality seen through the splatter of blood was terribly unrealistic.
Slowly flowing blood… And what happened was so terrible that it felt like a dream.
It’s like a dream you don’t want to have, like your worst nightmare.
And beyond… a completely cracked wall of water was in sight.
The water wall, which was thought to be able to block the bloody attack from the Apostle, was split into dozens and hundreds of branches and scattered in all directions.
The apostle’s power might have been stronger than I expected.
Yeah… So, wouldn’t Han Chun-seong, who blocked that power right in front of me, be in such a terrible state?
The bloody red thorns piercing the skin…
It is like a thorn protruding promiscuously.
The shape of the thorn that leaked through the cadet uniform stood still in front of my eyes like a lie.
I lightly pierced the water wall I created, pierced the agaric castle… and the ferocious thorns stopped right in front of me.
“…”
Eye-popping anticipation.
fear of dying.
Even the fact that Han Chun-seong suffered a ridiculous accident instead of me.
All sorts of emotions come through clearly.
I recognized with my own eyes that Han Chun-seong was seriously injured.
And I can see even the momentary moment when he squirts blood and stumbles as if he is slowly collapsing… .
“… … .”
It sounded like a sudden hallucination.
—-I can move on. I can be quite sure of that. Even if you’re very anxious right now, even if it’s hard, it’s possible enough to move on.
It was the first meeting between Han Chun-seong and me.
The moment when everyone was avoiding me, the moment when I had a conversation with Han Chun-seong at a cafe.
When I had a long-awaited conversation with someone and my mind calmed down a bit.
At that time, I didn’t know why Han Chun-seong approached me, but he had been saying strange things all along. They all spoke hopeful words.
I have been curious about my past, and have asked affectionately about my present condition, and given encouraging words.
That’s why Han Chun-sung told me that I could do it.
ㅡIt is possible.
It’s possible for me to stand up for myself and develop my traits like everyone else.
ㅡ!
As I slowly raised my hand in the seemingly stopped time, I could see the water stream bursting out along my right hand and moving naturally embroidering the air.
That time when even that seems too slow.
Another hallucination came again.
ㅡI want to do it, because you care.
That was the answer I heard at the next meeting.
He had no reason to meet me, no reason to do me any special favors, such as kindness.
And I wanted to know that, so I asked him directly.
—-How could you treat me casually?
At that, Han Chun-seong met my eyes and spoke in a tone full of strength.
He wants to do that, and that’s why he’s meeting me… .
“……”
My eyes were strangely cloudy.
There was no way my vision would be blurry, but my eyes were completely blurred as if I was looking at a window that was heavily smeared by the falling rain.
And the slow-flowing time began to regain time.
dump.
I managed to support Han Chun-seong, who was about to fall to the ground.
rattle.
Because of his trembling arms and lips, even if he had to say something, he couldn’t say anything.

Just seeing the cadet uniform that came into my field of vision stained with blood was… terrifying.
I didn’t even know how to deal with the blood-colored thorns now embedded in Han Chun-seong’s body.
“…Karite.”
It was only then that I was able to speak out at the weak voice.
“Uh, uh… ha, Agar Castle.”
As I spoke, my voice continued to tremble.
Carefully holding the water to support Han Chun-seong’s body, it wasn’t just his arms and lips that quivered.
The tremors seemed to tremble all over the body.
“Because I… I’m… fine.”
However, the voice I heard later seemed to tear my heart apart.
it can’t be okay
It was clearly visible to my eyes now.
Took!
Then, my gaze went blankly at the ringing sound.
it was a window
As if stepping on the dark ground, Han Chun-seong was trying to straighten the spear he was holding onto.
Unknowingly, I shook my head and shouted.
“Ha, Han Chun-seong, you can’t move now. Somehow… I’ll try… so please…”
Even as I spoke urgently, I felt like my body was floating.
And I couldn’t say anything after that.
‘do not die…’
Agar Castle should not be moved.
Blood-colored thorns embedded in the body. It certainly looked like something that would destroy his body the more he tried to move.
It will definitely put a lot of strain on your body.
So, without even realizing it, I was already heading towards Han Chun-seong.
The power of the water supported the Han Chun Castle and blocked its way.
“…Karite.”
I heard a powerless voice… I repeated countless times as if time stopped again and then flowed again.
“… … .”
Between the restless trembling lips and between the blurry vision, strange phenomena continue to occur.
And memories of the past come to mind indiscriminately and then disappear repeatedly.
It was mainly memories with Han Chun-seong.
Moments of memories spent together.
And besides that, numerous auditory hallucinations rang in my ears, and I could clearly feel that they were trying to devour me as before.
He knew that these were all remnants of Leteia.
Something that will follow me for the rest of my life.
But all of that… … .
It was good.
“…”
It looked big in my eyes now.
Rather than looking at him from the back… the appearance of Han Chun-seong seen from the front was more devastating. It was not enough to say that he was serious at the appearance of blood stained red as if it were spreading all over his body.
ㅡ!
The stream of water spouting from his body formed a strange wave, and he could see it through his blurry vision.
An apostle in the shape of a devil was twisting his body.
The long torn mouth and the lined eyes made it look like a smile.
…why.
why are you laughing
Even as I thought blankly, I felt an incomprehensible feeling.
what the hell is fun
It was like that from the beginning. In front of us, the demon spoke and acted as if he were enjoying something.
Then, emotions took a strange turn.
It is as if something that had a color loses its color and turns into nothing.
…and seemed to know what it was.
that was dying
“… … .”
My blurry vision slowly returned to normal and I looked at the stream of water surrounding my body.
From nob le mt l dot com
Just a few days ago, I boasted of my accomplishments to Han Chun-seong, emitting a stream of water that now covered my entire body.
That’s how much the character has grown. But it just wasn’t enough.
This result appeared because I was lacking right now, because Han Chun-seong was seriously injured.
The answer came to my mind so clearly that my thoughts that I felt there was no answer to were colorless.
“You have to kill… do it.”
Kill the apostle and get out of this space to save Han Chun-seong.
Yes, that was the answer.
The moment I thought about it, the power that Han Chun-seong had manifested while driving the apostles flickered in front of my eyes.
The strongest power I can think of right now. Even the understanding and use of the power he sweated.
Reasons that I felt I couldn’t understand at all, I understood in an instant. It was as if my head was exploding.
As my blocked thoughts expanded, it seemed to teach me the straight answer for the one action I had to take.
“Keukkeuk! Because this is human. You are human too! I knew you would do this… !”
…
At the grotesque sound he heard, Karite raised his hand and pointed at the apostle.
“…die.”
With her voice devoid of any emotion, the stream of water gushing out of Karite’s body started rushing in as if bursting out of the darkness in all directions.
***
ㅡIt was red.
Through the eyes reddened by the blood, Chun understood what had happened.
By releasing the power of the Spiral Spear held in the blade, it was able to be replaced with overwhelming speed.
That’s why I was able to reach the power that the Apostle had manifested first.
Originally, Karite, who should have died, somehow… was able to be protected.
I felt relief before the pain felt in my whole body.
And I realized that the apostle’s power, which I thought was weaker than I thought, was not weak at all.
…The fact that the true face of the apostle’s power was simply not revealed because they were endlessly assaulted with one-on-one attacks… .
The power manifested by the apostle was like something piercing.
It tears apart the gap of power it encountered. I could clearly see it from the way the water wall was split.
…
In the middle of an accident… The sight reflected in the eyes of the nature was terribly unreal.
‘How does Karite… .’
I didn’t know that I was exchanging air attacks almost equal to the apostle.
The flow of water gushing from her whole body was completely different from the water pressure she had felt before.
…that. In a word, it was a violent force.
Numerous streams of water gushing out of her whole body rushed towards the apostle at an unpredictable angle.
It became hundreds or thousands of water pressure and immediately began to press the apostle.
The sight of the water stream reflected in the weak light illuminating the darkness was overwhelming.
Even so, the apostle repeats avoiding the countless streams of water.
Nonetheless, the stream of water that could not be avoided exploded as if cutting off the apostle’s skin, and the apostle’s screams of pain rang unrealistically in the space.
And between them, the apostle shoots bloody thorns as before.
Chara la la la rock!!
Unlike before, a huge stream of water in front of me twists the trajectory of the thorn as it forms a spiral, twisting it in all directions.
“…”
snap.
And I could barely get my hands on it.
The last remaining potion.
…It was painful to even breathe, but unconsciously I was relieved.
That I chose to save Karite rather than kill the Apostle.
Seruk.
…I felt like I was going to lose my mind from the pain even while holding the potion and moving my arm.
Still, there were points of change. Just as the blood-colored thorns in my body were losing their shape, the shape was slowly disappearing.
As the apostle continues to exert power, the thorn-like power that came out first seemed to lose its shape.
‘Is it possible.’
You can… kill an apostle.
Karite was manifesting power far beyond my expectations.
Even if I couldn’t inflict a fatal blow on the apostle, I was able to take time to recover just because she was standing up to me on an equal footing.
hooked!
Blood gushed out of the thorn that was forcibly pulled out.
“…!”
Through the excruciating pain that didn’t even let out a moan, he thought of drinking the potion while somehow pulling out the thorn.
