53. Shadows cast by the wind (4)
With the Pungje Empire as the background, the inside of the gate looked like a desolate city with no people left behind, but not all places are without people.
Even inside the Persona Gate, life must have existed.
However, as a non-existent NPC, it only moves according to the story and fate that has been set.
The buzzing noise made Hong Bi-yeon wrinkled as if it was bothering her. It was an expression that only appeared when he was really feeling dirty, so he would have acted quite cautiously if he was the usual Baek Yu-seol, but now it is different.
“Five… … It looks like it was set in a landscape 150 years ago, right?”
“… … How do you know that?”
When Baek Yu-seol was interested and mixed in the market to observe the surroundings, Hong Bi-yeon
He glanced around.
I haven’t been to Pungje Kingdom very often, but the clothes and the atmosphere of the building were definitely outdated to be called modern.
“Can you see the old wheel over there? It is a mask worn by a famous assassin two centuries ago, but it must have been a righteous man who killed the rich and stole money and gave it to the poor. It must have felt like a hero to the people of the time.”
There were strange masks with nine wheels all over the place, some even wearing them.
I have no idea what’s cool about that
I couldn’t do it, but I quickly realized that it was wrong to try to understand the culture of a foreign country 150 years ago in the first place.
“Then, is this place called a Guryun Mask Legend?”
“It’s not like that. This is just a novel. Hong Gil-dong or Sherlock Holmes… .”
“Sherlock?”
“no. that’s done Anyway, we don’t need to be here much, so let’s go.”
Baek Yu-seol took Hong Bi-yeon’s hand and led it again this time. so crowded
This is because it was a market box, and if it fell, it could be scattered. If you use glasses, finding them is not a problem, but I decided that there is no need to waste time anymore.
Fake noises from fake crowds.
Now, such things could not be heard at all in Hong Bi-yeon’s ears.
Because I didn’t feel like being disturbed by a fake.
According to the logic of a certain wizard, NPCs in Persona Gate are actually living and breathing in a different world.
I thought it might exist, but… … That’s just a hypothesis anyway.
I didn’t want to lose my nerves and time to beings who didn’t know whether they were actually living creatures or not.
After a while, as we got out of the market, the time quickly turned to night, and the half moon Hwiyoungcheong appeared in the sky.
It was a phenomenon in which time and place were reversed whenever one moved from one story to another.
For example, when entering the legend of a werewolf transforming under the full moon, the full moon was the background, and people
The novel of the Guryun Mask, which hides inside and acts as a scoundrel, is also used as a background in a crowded market in broad daylight.
“Night tales are dangerous, so be careful. Don’t be shy.”
Anyway, Baek Yu-seol was helped by glasses that were more accurate than the ‘guideline message’, but he did not forget to pay attention to Hong Bi-yeon.
Because he was always the first person to set the death flag in the original game.
And usually, if you play around like this, Hongbi-yeon gets very angry and gets angry.
But every time it happened, I could see that the tension was relieved, so Baek Yu-seol intentionally stimulated her whenever such a situation came up.
“… … I am not a child.”
“uh? Oh, I know.”
However, even though Hong Bi-yeon grumbled, she did not criticize Baek Yu-seol.
It was meant to be insulting, but on the contrary, the other person just quietly grumbled, so this is also quite common in its own way.
Baek Yu-seol draws this story slowly
and passed carefully. It was a story that felt like a children’s fairy tale of Kwon Seon-Jing-Ak, but when you look at the content, there are many hidden dangers, such as a tiger walking on two legs with intelligence, disguising itself, and even mimicking a human with its voice. There were so many that I had to move carefully.
The fact that a powerful beast has an intelligence comparable to that of a human is because it comes as a fear beyond imagination.
‘… … Those children, what are you doing?’
By the time it had been three days.
Ryuderik slowly loses to Baek Yu-seol’s pursuit.
was hitting It might be more accurate to say that I am bored rather than tired.
I had no idea that chasing after a junior without doing anything would be so annoying.
‘Are you two going on a date, damn children?
At this point, Ruderic was almost certain. I don’t know about Baek Yu-seol, but Princess Hong Bi-yeon’s reaction was unusual.
As a second-year class A, Ryu Derek is also closely monitoring the progress of the first-year freshmen.
There was, and since Princess Hong Bi-yeon was so famous, she had a quick grasp on her personality.
‘Was that princess like that?’
A master of a village murderer who digs into the reputation of the other person with a word that embraces a blade.
A woman more beautiful than an angel and purer than a fairy, with a cynicism on her face, trampling on her self-esteem and ripping even her soul to pieces with her venomous language.
Isn’t that what Princess Hong Bi-yeon Adolevit is?
‘Is that really Princess Hong Bi-yeon?’
Where the hell did Princess Hong Bi-yeon, whom he knew so far, have disappeared, and that woman standing in front of Ryu Derek… … It was just an ordinary hardy ordinary, one girl.
“How do ducks tie their shoelaces?”
“I’m not curious.”
“Tight.”
“Pu ha ha ha.”
Whoops!!
But after a while, I headed towards Baek Yu-seol.
As the baby looked at the mass of flames, Ryuderic corrected his own thoughts.
‘Well, I guess I was mistaken.’
Seeing that violently burning image, the Hong Bi-yeon he knew did not disappear anywhere.
How long have you been following the white rumor?
After repeating the setting and rising of the moon several times, I was finally able to arrive at a place worthy of being called a destination.
‘… … Here you go.’
Ruderick sees the guideline message.
He wrinkled his face.
It is because I did not know that I would arrive at the final destination so quickly and so smoothly.
I think it was the end of just dating and flirting, but when I looked at the attack record, it was thorough, calculated, and perfect, so there was no way to get home.
‘What is this… …
With a deep sigh, Ryu Derek stretched the scoring sheets of Baek Yoo Seol and Hong Bi Yeon.
No more trying to get a chance to interfere with something, it only creates a sense of shame
because it was
It has been three days since I was imprisoned in this village. Slowly, Anella realized that she had been locked up here for some reason and could not get out.
‘It’s not a barrier, it’s not an illusion.’
Hiding in the grass, like a squirrel, she was vigilant and vigilant about her surroundings.
All the clothes were torn and worn out, here
It was stained red with blood from the wind over there, full of small wounds.
I somehow tore the rest of the clothes to stop the bleeding, but thanks to that, the parts to protect my body are disappearing, so the next time I meet the villagers, I might get hurt even more.
‘How do I get out?’
His hair was drenched in cold sweat, so it wasn’t unpleasant at all, but now he didn’t care about anything like that.
“where are you!”
“Go over there!”
“Damn it, you bastard. Where have you disappeared?”
“If you can’t find it by the time the sun goes down, you’re stupid! Hurry!”
Villagers were busy running around in the forest to find her, but no matter how you look at it, it was not an ordinary move. Some even jumped a long distance by exploding mana on their feet, and some even drew a magic circle on the floor as a staff and used chase magic.
However, Anella did not feel any sense of alienation even when she saw such a situation.
‘An ordinary farmer uses magic.
Of course it is.’
It was because such a strange common sense was stuck in my head.
‘ha••••••
Why can’t I go out of town?
I still haven’t been able to solve that question.
There was no doubt that magical powers did not intervene. If that was the case, there was no way Anella, who could be called a master of psychology and a demon, could not have noticed.
‘The space itself seems to be warped.’
Even though I was running straight out of town, at some point I came to my senses
back to the village again.
The repetition of the moment of running away, being chased, running away, being chased.
There were a total of 10 farmers chasing her, and they did not show any signs of exhaustion as they pursued Anella in turns by five, but she was slowly feeling the limit of her physical strength.
The reason I couldn’t sleep for the third day was because I couldn’t even drink a sip of water. Because the black demon actually needed human blood more than food, in fact, if he wanted to, he would grab a human farmer walking around alone in front of him and twist his neck if he wanted to.
If you deceive it, it will stop.
It’s easy.
No matter how weak she was, there was no way that Anella would be defeated by such a poor fisherman.
Anella’s perfect qualities will destroy only the human mind, allowing her to obtain intact blood. As long as you replenish your stamina, you won’t be chased by people like that.
‘.I hate that.’
dry mouth
How long has it been since I haven’t drank blood? hunger and go
It has endured so far.
Now, I didn’t want to harm humans directly for this reason alone.
‘Because I am human.’
will be human
‘I can stand it… …
Some people used to say
It is said that the bloodthirsty black demon cannot cope with the energy depletion phenomenon and runs wild and becomes a monster that has lost its intellect.
However, Anella did not.
Far from becoming a monster… … rather more
It was possible to think rationally with a clear and pure mind.
‘It’s proof that I’m becoming a human.’
no doubt
Anella believed so firmly.
She put her hand on her chest with a trembling hand. After receiving the gift from Baek Yu-seol, whenever he felt anxious, he had to hold the amulet tightly in his hand and prayed again.
However, it is empty.
‘ah••••••
I don’t know where I am after being taken away by a witch.
The amulet of Baek Yu-seol that has become impossible.
Why does the vacancy feel so large?
– Oh, why are you doing this for no fun?
Then an ominous voice rang in my ear. It was undoubtedly the witch’s tone.
The moment Anella raised her head in shock, the tree in the grass where she was hiding broke and fell to the floor.
-If you’re going to do it, you have to do it right!
“Wow?!”
thud! Coogong!
When Anella bumped into a tree and crashed into a rock and fell to the floor, the villagers gathered in an instant.
“This is it! r
“Ugh…!”
Beetle, I tried to get up from my seat, but my legs lost strength and I collapsed. But she couldn’t stand still, so Anella, who struggled to grab hold of the tree, got up and started running with her strength.
But I’ve already lost my strength
It’s impossible for her to run away.
Whoa whoa whoa!!
A blue magic circle was created in the air, and lightning struck Anella’s body, and a piece of rock rose from the floor, binding her limbs.
From lightning to fire baptism.
As Anella’s body, which had been hit by all kinds of magic, became limp, the villagers… … No, Stella’s first-year cadets stopped the attack.
“Finally got it… .”
“Wow, it’s really hard.”
“Are you sure this is the ‘forgotten tale’ that the guideline message was referring to?”
“yes. Your senior has guaranteed you.”
The cadets crept closer to Anella, who was limp and stretched out, bound by the rocks. The black speckles, which cannot be seen as human at all, look as if they are pretending to be human.
The cadets frowned at the sight that made them instinctively feel rejected.
“Lord, do I have to kill you? It’s so disgusting.”
“Then what? Shall we shake hands and ask for reconciliation now?”
“If you’re not going to do it, I’m here. I’ll kill you and get extra points.”
“Si, I hate it. I do it too.”
The students crept over to Anella, who appeared to have fainted. Then, when her fingertips and head trembled, as if they had made a promise, they all retreated back together.
“Wow, you’re scared!”
“I’m leaving because of you!”
The cadets became ashamed of themselves and became angry with each other because they were already frightened by the monsters that had already run out of strength.
“Hurry up and let’s go. I can’t do this because I feel bad.”
“It’s unfortunate that I was born as a monster, but… … After all, it’s a fake life.”
“right. There is no need to feel bad about fakes for nothing.”
While saying that, there was no student willingly approaching him, so a male student from Class A, who could not stand it, rolled up his sleeves and approached Anella.
“Get out of the way, I do it myself.”
The moment he puts his wand over her head and tries to cast a spell.
-Last chance~
A gentle wind blew from somewhere, and a small wound appeared on the forearm of the male crane, and blood began to drip.
“Ugh!”
The male student quickly withdrew while climbing up the barrel, but a handful of blood pooled on the floor did not disappear.
‘Sweet smell… …
It’s familiar, but it’s unpleasant, but it’s longing for it.
At the scent of that bloodstain, Anella also
I opened my eyes involuntarily and looked down at the floor.
It was stagnant within a distance that he could reach if he bowed his head a little.
‘The wizard’s blood…
It was a small amount that only floated in the palm of the hand, but it was enough for Anella.
A sheep that is too full to destroy the minds of all the students in this place and destroy the whole village.
– Now there is no chance~! If you are human, be human! If it’s a horseman, like a horseman! Each person has a ‘determined destiny’ and a role
I mean there is You presumably tried to break it.
-Look at that little bastard being trampled by a young human who hasn’t lived for 20 years! Do you see now the cost of trying to defy fate?
Anella felt more and more hazy at the sound of the witch’s voice.
– Accept your fate. Adapt. What did Baek Yu-seol, who gave the amulet, say? Have you seduced me with sweet words that you can change your fate? That’s all a lie
Is it obvious? because you are a black man Since you’re a stupid horseman, I’m going to use it and eat it!
drop!
A drop of sweat falls and mixes with blood. Anella’s gaze was fixed on the blood for some time.
-drink. you have the qualities of a witch Drink it, and I’ll share my blood with you. I can’t become a human, but at least I’ll give you a better life than a black demon.
All sorts of temptations penetrated Anella’s mind.
human blood.
witch’s life.
To consume all those desires and pleasures and annihilate all the humans in front of me that tormented me.
– Just imagining it, isn’t it awesome?
That was correct.
Just thinking about it made me happy, thrilled, and bursting with pleasure from the depths of my heart.
So, Anella… … .
“… … Kill me.”
I closed my eyes.
– Huh?
“for me… … There are no more souls left for pleasure… …
– Come on, wait. What are you talking about, dear?
Too tired and exhausted, he has returned too far to pursue pleasures.
A shattered mind and a worn-out soul can no longer enjoy any pleasures.
If there is only one thing I wish for, even for the last moment, I would close my eyes as a human being.
‘I will become a human with this.’
