277. Bloody Despair – Only One Choice (9)
***
Kwaaang!!!
Not enough to penetrate Vermian’s body, the golden spear thrust that body into the ground.
It was an unexpected blow even for Vermian, who had been preparing for it earlier.
“Cheuk… !”
Vermian widened his eyes and blankly gazed at the spear that pierced his heart.
A clear pain comes from the heart. Even the repair of the pierced skin was terribly slow.
The sharp pain rising from the piercing wound, the attack that had not been able to reach the damage even if it was pierced before, now has full power.
‘How could this happen… .’
This was my own area, and in my own area, even if I was injured, I could easily repair it.
By combining with Leteia, the body outside of humanity recovers before even realizing that ordinary wounds are wounds.
However, an unexpected sight was unfolding.
…The golden energy contained in the spear is greatly hindering my recovery.
And that meant that the word ‘openness’ that Han Chun-seong had uttered was the truth.
“Turn it off!”
Vermian’s mind was greatly shaken as the nature violently twisted the spear that had pierced his heart.
ㅡ!
Now, golden energy bursts out continuously and is about to completely destroy Vermian’s body. Vermian’s eyes slowly began to change in terrible pain.
“How are you still alive… ?”
The nature that kept piercing its heart and spitting out cold words was bewildered.
The vital part of an apostle in human form could be said to be the ‘heart’.
That’s why I thought it was completely over the moment I pierced my heart, but it wasn’t over.
It pierced through the heart, and even now, as it continues to inflict even greater damage, the apostle does not die and maintains its existence.
The bizarre phenomenon in which the correlation of each other’s powers was completely reversed did not last long.
ㅡ!
The time when nature was about to split Vermian’s body in half with a spear.
Pooh and Ak… … !
As the darkness exploded from Vermian’s body, the nature had to widen its distance while frowning.
ㅡ!
As the golden aura surrounding the body embroidered the space and the nature opened the distance at once, Vermian, who immediately stood up, dazedly embraced my face with eyes that had disappeared before I knew it.
“Kuhh…”
And when a sound that could not be expressed as a human being flowed through the mouth, the space of darkness suddenly changed.
The darkness that enveloped his body no longer completely covered his body.
The human body fully revealed. His chest, pierced and pierced by a spear, was miserable.
“…”
At that time, Chun-seong narrowed his eyes and tried to put more power into his spear. Vermian suddenly began emitting a darkness that was incomparable to the previous one.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■!!!
Complete darkness spreads as if to swallow the entire space centered on Vermian.
When even Vermian’s body was covered in complete darkness, the celestial body hesitated while trying to launch the spear.
“…what.”
The speed at which the spewing darkness spreads.
And it was spreading as if swallowing the surrounding darkness.
…The expression of power completely different from before made her natural complexion tired of contemplation.
He thought that he could and should kill Vermian, and his mindset to finish as quickly as possible changed at that moment.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!
The moment when the golden energy quickly embroidered the space, Chunseong embraced Karite’s new model, which had been lying in the light darkness.
The appearance of trying to escape somehow from the darkness that spewed out. Even so, he did not get very far.
In the first place, I couldn’t even get far away from the apostle’s realm.
good!
Chunseong, who landed on the ground… I inadvertently looked at my hand holding the spear.
“…”
In the future, the same power as before could be manifested only once.
Even though he had to aim for the apostle through the darkness that burst out like a moment ago, he couldn’t.
If you were to aim for an apostle like that, there would be no way to do anything about Karite, who was lying defenseless in the realm of darkness.
He may be able to somehow survive in the dark, but Karite, who is at the edge of life and death, will surely be swallowed up by darkness.
“…..”
Even now, the soggy darkness that rushes through that field of vision… Nature realized.
The moment Karite rushed at the apostle with the spear she had thrown, Karite would die in darkness.
“…”
Endless anger, hatred, and the feeble reason coexisting in between already knew the answer.
No matter how indomitable he expresses his will, even if he unreasonably develops an opening that he has not reached, even if he fights like a miracle.
Reality gave him only cold answers.
Even if an apostle could be killed by throwing a spear, Karite could not be saved.
However, if you do not kill the apostle, you cannot escape from the apostle’s own domain.
…No matter what you choose, the conclusion is the same.
—-Karite dies.
That’s why even the choices were decided.
Will you kill the apostle and survive alone by throwing a spear at the weak possibility?
Or will she prolong her life with Karite by blocking the approaching darkness with the energy contained in her spear?
Reason determined the answer between two options.
He said that he had to throw a spear at the weak possibility and completely finish the apostle.
—-There is no way to save Karite anymore… .
“……”
In an instant, a change appeared in Cheonseong.
An extremely twisted smile came to his lips.
His eyes were close to emptiness, as if he had detached himself from the reality he was facing, and as if he had no attachments to anything in the world.
Seruk.
Then, Chun-seong lowered his head and looked at Karite, whose heart was beating faintly, and nodded slowly. In that moment he made up his mind.
Kwak-!
He gave strong power to the hand holding the spear and swung it as it was.
Quaang!!
Instead of throwing the spear at Vermian to see the match, he slammed the spear into the ground where he was standing and used his final strength.
■■■■■■■■■ㅡ!!
The golden energy in the window exploded splendidly and began to devour the entire space.
Chi Chi Chi Chi!!!
Soon after, the ignorant darkness that surged in like a wave collided with the golden realm where the spear was pierced, and it faded away as if exploding endlessly.
He knew the most correct, realistic answer he had to choose, but he did not choose it.
Even though he knew that the answer was that if he couldn’t save Karite, he had to survive and kill the apostle… .
Nature made a completely different choice.
And Chun-seong, who blankly gazed at the scene, sighed in a daze.
“it’s okay… … .”
everything is over
Even if he could kill the apostle by throwing a spear, he felt that everything was over.
He didn’t even know that everything had already lost its meaning the moment the mysterious apostle he didn’t know appeared.
The burning anger, hatred, and tenacity gradually faded.
Chichichi!!
Even now, in his field of vision, he could see the golden spear burning endlessly, completely blocking the approaching darkness.
But the spear won’t last very long. Even the golden energy that enveloped his body was contained in the spear, so he felt completely exhausted.
Seruk.
“……”
Carefully looking at Karite, who had lost consciousness in his arms, Cheonseong smiled weakly.
I have no regrets about my heart at the crossroads of my choice.
Looking at Karite, I could only feel sorry for her.
—-If you hadn’t acted with yourself,
Then at least I wouldn’t have to be in a space like this.
My choice put Karite in even greater danger, and this was the result.
“…I should have given you a proper answer saying I like you.”
Even though he knew that Karite would not be able to hear, Chun spoke up sadly.
Chi Chi Chi!
Even though the golden light of the spear pierced into the ground is fading every moment, I don’t feel anything because I’ve already put everything down.
Rather, there is not much time left.
Cheonseong was looking back at himself now.
“……”
I thought I didn’t have Karite in my heart. Even if they had a big relationship, they had no choice but to take care of Karite in the reality they were facing.
But in retrospect, it wasn’t something she could handle.
When Karite approached him, he only felt regret that he should have answered her feelings properly.
…I came to regret it even more when I tried to have her with an uncertain attitude.
So I didn’t even know I made this choice.
Even if I could kill the apostle and survive alone… .
In that case, it would be better to choose to die together.
Cheonseong gradually showed aloof eyes, but a smile leaked out.
When I think about it, the anguish and troubles of the past.
As the moment of death approached like this, it all felt futile.
It was rather regrettable that I spent so much time thinking, agonizing, choosing, and hesitating.
I wish I could have answered them more properly.
It would have been better if I had lived properly as my heart went… .
Chun-seong, who had his eyes filled with darkness and golden energy exploding in his field of vision, absentmindedly grabbed Karite’s hand.
Seruk.
…her hand was too cold for him to feel.
Compared to when I held Karite’s hand a few hours ago, that hand was so cold… It was strangely heartbreaking.
“…”
I know it’s a stupid idea.
He said that dying together would not change anything, and that it might have been better to kill the apostle and avenge him.
…but his heart couldn’t do that.
In deep thoughts, the end has finally come.
Took!
The moment the golden light completely disappeared and the window was swallowed up in darkness. The window shattered at once.
In the darkness that the creation car with enhanced durability couldn’t stand, the nature… hugged Karite and gently closed her eyes.
The time when it was dyed with its own darkness before the darkness that was trying to swallow it.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!
A completely different light crossed the space.
he didn’t see
