Something flashed through my mind.
The last drink my wife gave me before I left the house.
Gillock barely turned his head and looked up at the top of the pitch. and could see
The figure of the 6th lord smiling happily as if he couldn’t stand it.
‘······ah.’
Only then did Gillock realize.
That everything was decided from the beginning.
He looked at Reef with empty eyes. Her whole body was covered in blood, and she stood there desperately holding her sword hilt.
‘At the end of the day, you and me…’
You die playing in the devil’s grip.
The sword was drawn, and Gillock’s body was torn apart.
***
Taking a rough breath, Reef looked at Gillock, who had fallen to the floor, with blank eyes.
‘·······We won.’
won
Killed Gillock. Defeated the champion.
An indescribable feeling surged inside me. Opposite things such as joy and sorrow, achievement and guilt mixed together like a mass.
Reef bit his lips tightly and staggered away.
Not even the slightest cheers were heard from the audience.
The spectators all kept their mouths shut as if they had made a promise and looked at the scene.
Reef, who had moved to just below where the tyrant was seated, fell to his knees.
“········I have won!”
As if everyone were to hear it, he shouted with a cracking voice.
“I am now the champion of Actipol!”
In the quiet stillness, the tyrant had a smile on his lips.
“okay······.”
He looked down at her and opened his mouth.
A quiet but loud voice resounded clearly throughout the arena.
“Tell me where you wish.”
“My little brother!”
Reef was forced to pause for a moment at the rising passion, then shouted again.
“I beg you, the great Sixth Lord! Please cure my brother’s photohemosis! I have only one wish!”
The smile on the king’s lips grew stronger.
“You want to cure your brother’s illness?”
“············”.
“Your affection for blood and flesh is very young. It’s fine, let me treat my brother according to your wishes.”
It was the moment when Reef’s face was about to fill with joy.
“But before that, there is still something left.”
“······Yes?”
She looked up blankly at the tyrant.
He was smiling.
It was as if he had just reached the moment of picking the sweet fruit he had been working hard on for a long time…
The tyrant turned his gaze to the host on the other side of the stadium.
The moderator who caught the attention immediately exclaimed.
– ········Well then! Event matches to celebrate the birth of a new champion after years begin right now!
There was a commotion in the audience.
Because there has never been such an event match before the original championship.
Kurur.
An iron fence located on one side of the stadium went up.
But that was the door where the captured monster came out, not the gladiator.
Reef’s expression, who had been staring blankly at the scene, was gradually distorted to be incomprehensible.
Stepping out of the door was the figure of a familiar boy.
However, the other thing was that his whole body was dyed dark red, and he had a completely monster-like appearance.
“Ahh······.”
Reef looked at the boy and his younger brother, and let out a groan of ecstasy.
krr.
The boy glared at her with a flash of red eyes.
It was as if he was looking at an enemy who was not going to tear me to death at any moment, not my sister.
“I’ll cure your brother’s illness as much as you want. Don’t cure him. Of course, we’ll have to finish the rest of the game before that, right?”
The sound of the king’s laughter mixed with words echoed in his ears. like the whispers of the devil.
Looking at Riff, who was sitting there in a frenzy, he burst out laughing as if he couldn’t stand it.
“Now, what are you doing? Come on, without killing that monster.”
A boy who lost his temper and ran wild ran towards her.
***
“············”.
I sighed as I looked down at the tragedy unfolding in the arena.
I came to watch the championship game because I just wanted to check the results before leaving the city. The last time I saw her in the store was caught.
But the game was going in a direction no one expected.
‘I was thinking of this in the first place.’
I stared at the blood king sitting in the distance high in the arena.
Did you intentionally inject more blood into your younger brother, causing the photovoltaic to run rampant?
I thought there was a plan, but the tyrant, his malice was beyond my imagination.
At this rate, she had to either kill her sister with her own hands, or die by her brother’s hands. Because Actipole’s match ended only when one side dies.
Achel, who was next to him, was also watching the game with a terribly hardened face.
The crowd was cheering more excitedly than they had just played against Gillock.
Unfortunately, I can’t help her.
In the first place, photoblood is a disease that disappears only when the tyrant dies.
It is absurd to fight the tyrant and kill the tyrant to save that sister.
Because if a monarch killed the same monarch, it was the same as turning the entire Calderic into an enemy.
Because of that absolute iron rule, monarchs with different tendencies do not interfere with each other, and Calderic’s order and system could be maintained for hundreds of years.
“Twitch.”
I turned around and bit my tongue.
It was even more disgusting to be here, so it was the moment I was about to leave the stadium.
“··········································································?!”
I grabbed my forehead and staggered at the sudden, overwhelming headache.
Achel was startled and grabbed me.
“············· Ron-sama? Why are you doing that?”
I pushed her away and frowned.
‘What’s this······.’
Unknown memories were running through my mind.
dizziness? Deja vu?
A strange feeling, as if it had happened once.
[All, I will kill them all!]
I saw a dead woman, a boy crying over Reef’s corpse.
[You made a contract with the demons? Ah, I was born with a rare quality, but I threw it in the trash and it was a waste.]
As time passed, the boy who had changed completely from before, and the overlord standing in front of him overpowering him like that, flashed past him.
[How about playing a gyeak with me? I’ll spare your life Instead, you will become the 7th Lord of Calderic. Just five years. After that, no matter what you do, nothing will be involved.]
…and which city.
Amidst the blazing heat, the image of a boy who was carrying out a massacre with a bright smile flashed past him for the last time.
“············”.
The headache went away, and there were no more memories.
I looked down at the arena again with a confused look on my face.
I stared blankly at the boy who was running madly to kill my sister.
***
Reef desperately moved her body that was about to collapse.
The boy ran like a wild beast, grabbing her and trying to bite her. It was a monster that was far beyond normal.
There was nothing she could do against him. He couldn’t counterattack by swinging his sword, and he could only dodge the attack.
Aww!
Even if he calls out his younger brother’s name and shouts to come to his senses, the only thing that comes back is a scream full of murderous intent.
In the midst of the resounding shouts of the crowd, Reef wrestled with his brother for a long time. However, it was a body that had reached its limit earlier.
“eww······!”
Reef barely grabbed the boy’s face as he stomped his teeth in his teeth.
All he could do was stare at his younger brother who was frantically trying to bite his throat with his red, bloodshot eyes.
Could there be any more terrifying nightmare than this?
The strength in her grip was getting weaker.
If it was a dream, I would wake up, if it was reality, I just wanted to end it like this.
But before that, it was the boy’s side that ran out of energy first.
The boy’s body slipped to the side. The storm was over and the energy had run out.
Reef looked blankly at his brother who had lost consciousness and collapsed, and then turned his gaze to the tyrant.
He was still staring at this side with a smile that said he would die of joy. As if begging you to come to an end.
Kill it! Kill it! Kill me…!
Voices echoed from all directions.
He seemed to be losing his mind.
Not because of the numerous wounds all over his body, but because of the shouts of those demons.
Reef got up from her seat, shedding tears incessantly with her open eyes.
He picked up the sword that had fallen on the floor, and brought the blade to his neck, not the boy who had fallen. To finish the game as they wished.
That was the moment.
Tub.
Someone grabbed the hand holding the sword.
Her hand went down slowly.
Reef turned his head blankly.
There stood a man with a familiar face.
The shouts that had just been resounding were nowhere to be found, and a terrible silence fell on the arena.
“······her?”
The expression of the tyrant, who was smiling happily, was severely distorted.
The man who had been staring down at the boy who had fallen turned his gaze to the tyrant.
The man, the 7th lord’s mouth opened softly.
“End the game, Lord Six.”
Refrigon (9)
My head was confused.
I looked down at the boy with my eyes focused everywhere.
What the hell was that?
The boy’s appearance was clearly the same as the one he had seen in the flashing memory.
Breaking into the game was just an action close to instinct.
From here, the intuition that these siblings should not be allowed to die like this…
“············”.
Come to think of it, I think I’ve felt this kind of feeling once before, not just this time, but when was it?
I was able to recall the memory as I narrowed my brows.
The moment when you fuse the box of chaos and possess the game for the first time.
At that time, an unknown voice resounded with the dizziness of turning the world upside down.
[I do not give up.]
········Yes, that’s it.
It’s definitely the same as I felt then.
It was as if he had glimpsed a future that had not yet happened, but that might have occurred someday.
My head got more confused about what the hell happened, but that’s not what’s important right now, so I put it off for now.
After the agitation went away and reason came back, I understood what I was doing now.
I lifted my hand from her holding on to her and turned my gaze to the tyrant.
The guy was staring at this side with a most ferociously distorted face.
It looks like he’s really pissed off because he interrupted and ruined a show he made with care.
I did go out for a while, but it ended up being a face-to-face confrontation with him. Even in front of this huge crowd.
······What should I do, now?
I regret it later, but I can’t undo what I’ve already done.
In the midst of such a complex mixture of inertia, a sense of uneasiness that still lingers in my mind, and unknown emotions, I opened my mouth.
“End the game, Lord Six.”
Silence fell throughout the arena.
The spectators were staring at the tyrant, even holding their breath.
The one who was staring at me with eyes full of rage that could not be hidden opened his mouth.
“What are we going to do now, Seven Lords?”
·········I don’t know, damn it.
If I think about it rationally, I was doing something stupid right now.
