104 – Report on the Fall of Kindness (14)
A shadow fell over Cain’s head. This is the lower part of the ship. No matter how much I look at it, I can’t get used to its disgusting appearance, covered in skin.
The beasts with their skin spread came down to the ground. They have the face and body of a human, but they also have the wings of a bat. They came down to the ground and pulled up the tree. The enchanted trees were dragged onto the ship.
“What are you doing?”
The knight answered Cain’s muttering.
“Monster cleaning.”
“No. “Why are you helping me?”
“It may not have been what you wanted, but it helped me.”
The knight put his sword in its sheath on the floor.
“This is the sacred place of the tree of life. Even a person who deserves seven plus seven heavenly punishments will not be able to carry out his punishment if he takes refuge here. Because it is a place where final mercy is shown to people as long as they remain human.
But the teachings of the tree of life have been forgotten, distorted, and distorted. Roberta modified it to suit her taste.
This place was becoming the heart of mold. You destroyed it. By offering yourself, an impure sacrifice.”
“… Everyone says I’m unclean. Why do you do that? Do you have bruises on your arms? “Because it wasn’t a complete sacrifice?”
“There is that too.”
“Then?”
The knight looked at Cain from a distance.
“You are unclean because you yourself know that you have sinned. You are unclean because you know your sins. You are unclean because you are constantly looking at and holding on to your sins. That’s why out of all the people I’ve seen, only you… “I will complete my pilgrimage.”
Cain tried to shout out what that meant. But that was it. The knight raised his sword and pointed it at Cain. A dark force strangled Cain and seized her limbs.
“It is a blessing to know that you have sinned. A person with a heavy conscience also knows the weight of sin. “Those who have neither scales nor weight to weigh their sins are my share. Those whose hearts are alive and breathing, prepare to go a long way.”
A shadow enveloped Cain’s entire body. A terrible monster came down from the sky, flapping its wings. The sheathed knight climbed on the monster’s back.

The arrows flew without stopping. There wasn’t even a plank in sight to act as a shield. Lily had no choice but to lift Maria up.
Under the clearly exposed roof, I saw a ledge that I could step on. Lily held her Maria carefully and set her down first.
Pi Yung.
“Tsk.”
Pain as if the back is being scratched. It looks like one arrow missed. Lily gritted her teeth and came down.
“Maria, Maria!”
Maria couldn’t even raise her hands properly because her whole body was soaked in sweat. She was so exhausted that her lips became pale and cracked.
“Lily, you, etc… “
“Roberta is coming. You must hide from it. “You shouldn’t be trapped in here.”
Putting her imperial sword back into its scabbard, Lily easily ripped off the door to her large wardrobe. As soon as I lifted it, an arrow was stuck.
“Hurry out the door!”
She almost fell forward, but Maria somehow managed to stand in the doorway. But as soon as he opened her door, an arrow passed his fingertips, causing him to flinch back.
“Such a dog… “
Maria was angry. But before she could finish her sentence, her body rolled to the side of the door. Another arrow hit the spot where I had been sitting just a moment ago.
Roberta kept changing her direction and shooting her arrows. She fired without getting tired, to the point where one wondered if she had a quiver of arrows hidden all over the village. And yet, each and every step of her is accurate.
“Come out.”
A dry voice. This is Roberta’s voice.
“Come out now. Then I will take your breath away at once. I promise. “There will be no suffering.”
Lily ducked behind her shield. Maria curled her body closer and pressed herself closer to the window. She wanted to know where on earth she was muttering.
“Everything was perfect before you came. Before you came, this was paradise. There was no fighting, no hatred, only happiness and kindness! “You ruined everything, you!”
Maria crawled into the kitchen and searched the closet. She saw a liquor jar made from baked clay. When I opened the wooden stopper, I smelled the fragrant fermented apple liquor. Maria didn’t even care that her clothes got wet and she gulped down the drink.
“It was perfect. Everything was perfect! I was able to lead everyone to happiness. “Everyone could be at peace on this land!”
With the help of alcohol, Maria jumped up. Placing her body next to the window, she made a hand signal to Lily.
‘Sneak out and find out where he is.’
Lily nodded her head and carefully slipped out the broken window. Maria exclaimed, taking in her breath.
“You must have been happy! “Because I turned people into dolls and played with them!”
“You could have done that too! Heretic Questioner Maria, if we are together… Why don’t you know that you could have spread love and kindness throughout the world!”
“If you were that confident, why didn’t you shout it out in the middle of the capital? “If the world you wanted was really so full of love and happiness, why were you content with being stuck in a corner of the Black Forest?”
Roberta did not speak. Maria raised her voice louder.
“Tell me. “If the world you wanted was really such a beautiful and happy world, why did you use force to suppress people and cast spells to pull out their hearts?”
“Because they don’t know how to be happy! Because I don’t know the best way! This is best. “My way is the best!”
The position of Roberta’s speech has changed. She, too, moves from place to place. But it was clear that she was getting closer.
Maria looked carefully at the collapsed gap. She took a throwing sword from the hem of her clothes and hid it secretly.
“Oh, if you close your eyes, block your ears, pull out your heart, and cut off your hands and feet, you will be happy, is that right? But your limbs are fine, right? “What a hypocrite!”
“No.”
Beyond the wall.
It’s beyond the wall. Maria felt. Roberta is now on the other side of the wall.
“I just wanted to let you know because I experienced it myself.”
Roots slithered over the window frame. As soon as Maria took a step back in surprise, the wall was torn apart.
There were neither people nor trees there. It looked like a huge root in the shape of a naked female human being. Her entire body was shiny with sap, honey, and dust, and her eight arms held bows, arrows, and quivers.
The thing in the middle of the tree is a familiar face and shape. This is Roberta’s naked body.
“So let’s be happy together.”
Pagak.
A blue ax flew in. It was Lily. Like a woodcutter fiercely cutting down her branches, Lily quickly cut down her arms holding her bow and her hands holding her arrows.
Roberta let out a lewd moan and opened her body wide. Sap and honey oozed and crawled across the floor.
“Love. Love. Love.”
But that wasn’t the only thing Lily prepared. She threw the clay pot off the kitchen shelf. When it broke apart with a crunch, thick and shiny oil flowed down Roberta’s body.
“Now is the time!”
Lily shouted. Maria snapped her fingers. It was the weakest fire my exhausted body could produce, but it was enough to burn the oil and sap.
Roberta’s body was on fire. She waves her arms and trembles her legs as if she were dancing with joy. Her hips kept bouncing up as if she was reaching her climax, and her flushed face was filled with heat.
“You too! Picture! Become! Will be!”
The burning branch tightened around Lily’s body. Lily screamed in her pain. Maria threw down her throwing sword from her hiding place. Only half of the branch was cut off, but it was enough to make me flinch for a moment.
Lily hugged her Maria and threw her body out of the building.
“Oh my… “
And Lily saw. A tree so huge and twisted that it surrounds the entire village. Unable to stand upright, it just spins around like a snake. At the tip of the vine was Roberta’s burning body.
But I also saw something else. A dark crowd flocking from the other side of the village. The horizon seemed to be getting closer. The noise that hits their ears and the turbulence that shakes their bodies shake Lily and Maria.
The forest was approaching.
The trees of the Black Forest climbed onto Roberta’s body. They dug into her long body with their branches, stuck their thick roots into it, and sucked various parts of her body with their small roots. It looked like countless swarms of ants were attacking and eating the dying snake.
Roberta waved her remaining arms and legs senselessly. Unlike her struggles so far, her body was seen to be gradually shrinking. The huge and lustful tree opens its eyes and offers itself helplessly before her hunger.
Roberta’s face became as hard as wood. Her face was filled with joy, but her eyes were long dead.
“You were a warrior.”
Maria cried out in tears.
“He was the hero everyone was looking for! Why. Why on earth! “Because something is lacking!”

“You don’t know anything.”
Roberta’s body, almost completely consumed by her fire, could no longer support her head. Her head, which had become a piece of wood, fell from the sky. Even though it fell to the ground and was broken in half, it still spoke human language.
“You don’t know. What we saw there. You don’t know what we felt there… “
“William. What did William warn you about? Say!”
“Ha. Under… “
Red rosewood tree. A rosewood tree with all its blood drained out. The black, dying head smiled.
“… “You said you would die here!”
Suddenly, a branch came from behind her and stuck into Lily’s back.
Moment.
Boom!
In the sky. Something struck from the dark sky. It was a sword. It was a sword that flew out with its sheath intact.
Afterwards, a huge beast came down flapping its wings. Lily grabbed Maria and rolled her body next to her. The sheathed knight jumped off the beast and grabbed his sword.
“Roberta.”
I saw a dying head posting an article.
“Ah… You are a man who lost love. Stupid asshole… “
“I came to receive my share.”
“Ha. Under. What should I do? I have nothing to give… “
“No. There will be.”
The knight lifted Roberta’s head. The winged beast lowered its head.
“No, no!”
“You took the lead in persuading others that day, so now you should take the lead for me.”
“I don’t like it… !”
“… “This is the way you can be happy.”
The knight forced Roberta’s head into the beast’s eye socket. Wriggling lumps of flesh grabbed Roberta’s head. The other heads on the beast’s body burst into laughter. Roberta, too, rolled her eyes a couple of times, but then burst into laughter.
Roberta sang. It was a song that bewitched the trees and deceived the wind. Trees flocked to the longhouse, grabbed hold of the petrified wood pillars with large faces carved into them, and shook them. It was a stone tree that would have endured for thousands of years, but because it was lighter than one person’s greed and desire, it was helplessly pulled down.
The longhouse collapsed. The ground sank little by little. This is because the roots were unable to support the ground, creating a huge cavity underneath. As the sheathed knight swung his sword, two winged beasts grabbed Maria and Lily and dragged them to the outskirts of the village.
The knight and the beast took flight. It flew away to the other side of the collapsing forest. From above the empty forest and the village that had collapsed and left a huge crater, Cain walked stumbling.
