785 – 9. There is not a single day when this does not happen (34)
The forest fire was crossing the mid-slope like a snake and sticking out its bright red tongue.
This was proof that the time spent confronting the ‘Great Sage’ was longer than expected. He thought he did his best, but perhaps because the old man had used some trick, the battle was already in full swing outside.
No, should I call it a battle?
Most of the sounds echoing from far away were closer to screaming. It meant that a one-sided massacre was taking place. How could he so unilaterally overwhelm the cultivators of Heavenly Sword Mountain?
The ‘Seven Sins’ must have arrived.
There were no other monsters that had caused such devastation. Since they had revealed a card worthy of the ‘Great Sage’, there was no way the Dark Church would have any hesitation.
You will try to achieve your goal by any means necessary.
I had to stop it. At first glance, the epicenter of the commotion appeared to be more than two places. It is said that one Seven Sins Star can be dealt with with the full power of Heavenly Sword Mountain, but it was difficult to deal with more than that.
It has to be that way.
“Wow…… !”
The leg I was running on suddenly broke. It wasn’t strange if I rolled on the ground, but I was able to avoid disaster by barely slowing down just before that.
Instead, I burst into tears and vomited out a handful of blood.
At first glance, the blood had an ominous black color. The silver magic power was pulsating and resisting, but the power of the pollutants was also formidable.
When on earth?
Several scenes appeared on my retina as I searched through my memories. When the ‘Great Sage’ was finally killed, a cane sword was spinning in the air.
It exploded, sending several pieces of metal into my body. Although the wound healed quickly and fell off.
No matter how much I thought about it, that was the only time. No matter how much of an alter ego he was, ‘Master’ was still ‘Master’.
“Rain, scared…… !”
Somehow he obediently revealed the secret.
No matter how many times I ground my teeth, nothing changed. The good news was that my imagery was useful not only for combat but also for recovery.
Even though my consciousness was somewhat blurred, it was bearable. All you have to do is put out the fire and take a rest for a day.
Thinking like that, I stood up shakily. By then, I was breaking into a cold sweat and felt an unpleasant moisture down my spine.
In an instant, your vision is shaken and an unfamiliar landscape appears.
‘I had to die that day.’
It was a snowy field. In the midst of a bitter wind that cut through one’s flesh and body temperature just by standing there, a blue-eyed woman with a gloomy face was chanting like that.
With a sword in my arms.
‘The day when disaster struck Jurdina.’

Crackling, my vision shakes once again. I had to let out a soft moan as the pain felt like my skull was being pecked with a chisel.
Nevertheless, her woman’s confession continues. More clearly.
‘I should have died.’
Consciousness gradually fades away. I felt like I was being sucked into the landscape in front of me, and I hallucinated white breath flowing out of my mouth.
‘If that were the case…’ ….’
The next moment.
“aaah!”
I suddenly came to my senses as the scream pierced my brain.
It was a familiar tone. That’s right, it was the voice of the person next to me who screamed the most.
Fifth Princess Shien.
My feet were already hitting the ground.
**
Sien’s life has always been strange.
It has been like that since childhood. She was born with the dragon’s blood, and was able to see into the hearts of others. Some people called it a blessed talent, but the girl never thought of it that way.
The human heart is vicious.
It was the same no matter how kind the face was. When you peel off the shell and look at it, there is bound to be rotten parts inside. Shien had witnessed her hideous nature all along.
Even my mother’s heart.
After her biological mother almost strangled her to death, the girl vowed never to trust anyone for the rest of her life. Then she met Ian, went through several trials, and had a happy night at most for a few days.
Shien was once again going through her hardships because of those ‘eyes’.
“Her Royal Highness!”
Keeek!
At the same time as the guard knight’s urgent cry, the monsters that could not be stopped leapt. They were all monsters whose faces had melted and their features could not even be distinguished.
I have heard of it.
It was a monster said to be driven by the seven sins of ‘greed.’ These poor victims were once human, but even their souls were imprisoned by a foolish contract.
So there was no reason to hesitate.
Her blue thread of magic, which had been wrapped around Shien’s hand, was immediately released. The solid lines spread out like a net formed a tight intersection, tightening the grip on a couple of monsters, and that was the end.
Contaminated blood burst out along with the dismembered corpse.
Shien repeated. This is not murder, this is salvation.
And she cried out.
“Ah, Sir Irene! “There are too many monsters!”
“Well, let’s go…” Somehow…… !”
In response to her lord’s tearful call, Irene said that with the utmost of her will.
But she was visible in Shien’s eyes. The fact is that my escort has already reached its limit. The number of monsters flocking from the bottom of the mountain was endless, and Irene had already defeated dozens of monsters.
There was only one hope.
“I will do it… Your Majesty, please come quickly to Prince Iron Blood…… !”
We join Ian who is heading to the top of the mountain.
As the name ‘Iron-Blooded Ball’ suggests, the strength of Ian, who reached ‘Master’, was real. At least it was nothing compared to monsters.
So the best thing to do is to run to the top of the mountain like this.
This was a fact that Shien knew very well. Nevertheless, there was another reason why she couldn’t help but stamp her feet.
“But Sir Irene…” … !”
Just now, two monsters had escaped.
In other words, Irene was already dealing with enemies beyond her limits. If Shien didn’t help, her life might be in danger.
It was a natural thing for an escort driver.
“Well, don’t do that…” Hurry…… !”
Ilseom (一閃).
Irene’s sword, which was struggling against dozens of monsters, drew a line in the air. The air became silent at a speed that even exceeded the speed of sound, and then a violent storm broke out.
The scream from the air swept through the area like a storm. It was the ‘ultra thunder’ that I learned from Ian in the past.
If I had to leave, this was the only time. Although ‘Ultra Lightning’ was powerful, it was a technique that consumed a lot of stamina. Even just now, wasn’t Irene’s breathing noticeably rougher?
After all these sacrifices, she could not let the opportunity she had been given go to waste.
After making up his mind, Shien ran and ran. Although there was a scream behind her, Irene was able to block the monster better than expected.
It would have been nice if I could have met Ian like this without any problems.
Unfortunately, that was not possible.
There was a girl with black hair and golden eyes sitting on a rock on the narrow path leading to the summit.
She was sitting with her legs crossed and had a bored expression on her face. Her particularly well-developed thighs barely reveal their pure white skin, and soon the sound of her stretching yawn follows.
The girl smiled an alluring eye smile.
“You’re finally here?”
Shien’s stiffened body made her take a step back.
The woman’s scent was just as dangerous. Like a poison painting that is provocative and attractive, but should never be touched.
The silver-grey pupil repeatedly contracts and expands at will, then tears apart vertically. Immediately afterwards, Shien’s eyes widened and she had to cover her mouth.
“Wow…… !”
What, desire.
It was my first time seeing such blatant emotions. She didn’t even know if she would, because she didn’t even show any intention of hiding it in the first place.
Anger, antipathy, possessiveness, revenge or a misplaced desire for recognition.
Above all, the forbidden affection and s*xual desire were the most blatant. As Shien, he couldn’t help but feel disgusted, as if he had seen the abyss of a gutter.
Despite her blatant disgust, the girl could only giggle and burst into laughter.
“I guess that old man is right… “No matter how great the power, the user is this weak-hearted.”
Light, light.
Even her gait was alluring. Shien tried to back away from her instinctive discomfort, but her girl’s hand was faster than her.
Park!
A bloody whip rose from her ground and bound the girl’s wrists and ankles. Oh, by the time he said that, Shien’s knees had already buckled.
The girl’s pure white fingers grasped the princess’s chin. Shien’s head, which tried to turn her head, was forced to face forward.
The princess closed her eyes tightly and protested. However, her ‘greed’ made her more vicious than anyone could imagine.
Her slender index finger and thumb forced Shien’s eyelids open. The silver-grey eyes, which were vertically slit like the pupils of a reptile, were filled with deep discomfort.
A blurry shape was reflected on the golden retina facing it. It was a high-dimensional, geometric technique.
“If not, is it because of this ‘seal’?”
“Oh, don’t come.”
It was a faint plea that I couldn’t bear. Shien was already ready to gag at any moment.
Nevertheless, the girl smiled brightly instead of answering. Like a jeweler appraising a rare gem.
“The old man has one good ability… How did they suppress her powerful bloodline like this? “Well, it was different back then than it is now.”
“Stop!”
Xian’s tone was pitiful. She wanted to look away, but she was unable to move, unable to overcome her opponent’s strength.
‘Greed’ whispered.
“Don’t worry too much… It will be over soon. “Have you had a hard time because of the excessive strength?”
It was then.
The girl’s fingers, reflected in Shien’s silver-gray eyes, gradually enlarged. Beyond opening her eyelids, gradually moving inward.
Around this time, the princess’s voice began to tremble.
“S-stop…” ….”
The content was the same, but the emotions contained within it were completely different. The more it happened, the more the smile on the girl’s lips grew.
“Let’s make a ‘contract’… I will end the pain. “
The feeling of her fingers digging into my eyeballs was never pleasant. This is especially true if the pace is maintained at a leisurely pace, as if trying to induce maximum fear.
Shien’s mind spun in an instant. Her limbs are already restrained, and she cannot even turn her head. What is the maximum resistance you can do in this situation?
The judgment was instantaneous.
“Stop! aaah!”
A sharp scream rang out as if it would rip my eardrums. Even the girl who was accustomed to all kinds of screams frowned for a moment and bit her hand gently.
“Sa, save me! Sir Ian! Save me! aaah!”
“What, that loud scream…” Be quiet!”
The girl could not stand it any longer and had to close her mouth with her hand, which was holding the princess’s chin.
Whoop, whoop. Staring into Shien’s wide-open eyes, her ‘greed’ whispered again.
“I told you it would be over soon, right? And again, my brother is busy right now…….”
It was right after that.
Let’s fight and fight.
Her hand, which had been covering the girl’s mouth, fell to the ground. “Oh,” The golden eyes looked down at her arms.
There was none.
The whereabouts of her arm, which had disappeared, leaving only the red cross section, was clear. Because right now she had just collapsed on the ground with her hands.
Now it was the girl’s turn to backtrack.
“Oh my, this can’t be happening…” There’s no way he’s coming back already…….”
“Hey.”
But the denial was short-lived.
Before I could finish speaking, an irritated voice rang out.
At the epicenter stood a man with black hair and golden eyes. While grinding my teeth.
“You really should die today.”
It looked exactly like the girl.
