148 – Bye bye # 8
148 – Bye-bye #8
Iscariot was a small village.
A land with high hills and green vegetation.
In that land, Garot was a hunter who hunted rabbits and shot deer.
But in fact, Garot did not like hunting.
He was a person who liked to sit still at home and look out the window.
It was best to just stare blankly at the sun.
But I couldn’t.
Garot’s house had people who had been hunting for a long time. My father’s father was like that, and those fathers were like that.
Since Garot’s father could not have a son, his daughters had to take over the task, and Garot was gifted with a natural talent and did well.
“Sister! I’m going to catch a rabbit! Hurry up!”
However, her younger sister, Dina, was different.
The younger sister, Dina, did not like to hunt, but rather to play around.
He was a child who wanted to become an aristocrat himself, imagining the stories of the ‘ball’ that his mother told him about, the ‘prince’s engagement’, or ‘the palace chandelier’.
In fact, it was also Garot.
Garot knew very well that his mother was a very beautiful person, and he wondered what the world of the nobles that the beautiful person was talking about with twinkling eyes would be like.
Of course, Garot’s imagination ended with curiosity.
Garot was destined to live as a hunter in the meadow forever.
“Sister, look at this! I caught a rabbit! A rabbit!”
Dina caught the rabbit in her hand.
Dina didn’t want to be a hunter, but her skills resembled her father’s, so she was very good. However, Dina had a fatal weakness to become a hunter.
“Rabbit is so cute! Do we really have to kill him? Can’t we just raise him? Dina likes rabbits! Let’s not catch and eat them! Huh?”
Dinah gave up on killing life.
Garrot was dissatisfied with Dina’s attitude because it was a major flaw that a hunter could not finish the prey he had caught.
Normally, I would have looked at him like a fool, but today, Garot also spoke with a stern attitude.
“Dina, since your 6th birthday is coming soon, you have to go hunting alone from now on.
“It’s okay! I know where the blue berries and red meadow strawberries grow here in the meadow!”
Dinah took a small wild fruit out of her pocket and popped it into her mouth. Dinah was really good at picking berries, so it seemed like she wouldn’t starve.
So Garot just laughed.
“Sister, I mean. Actually, I really don’t want to be a hunter. I’m going to become a nobleman like my mother! If I go to my grandmother and grandfather, wouldn’t I be able to become a nobleman’s daughter?”
“…”
“Let’s go too, sister. She’s pretty, so she’ll be able to make a great debut in the social world. Perhaps princes from distant lands might propose to her!”
In her younger sister Dina’s opinion, her older sister, Garrot, was truly beautiful.
As for her beauty, she was more than admired by the village youth, and even animals like rabbits and deer roamed around the village to see Garot’s face.
If she enters the social world… , The whole country would be buzzing, and it would not have been a dream to really propose to the princes and become the queen.
“I hate my sister being a hunter in a country town like this.”
“…”
Garot did not answer.
Garot did not want to become a hunter to be honest.
But someone had to follow in Dad’s footsteps.
Because she was born with that fate.
It was.
It was fate.
Garot had quite a few fates he was carrying.
“Dina, I can’t marry a prince. I have someone else to marry.”
“Why? Who is as pretty as you? Is it because of the prophecy that the old woman is blaring about? That old woman is a liar! You know!”
The old woman Dina was talking about was an old woman called the village elder.
She had once been blessed by the goddess Efar—she introduced herself, and thanks to that, she had made prophecies, some of which were truly stunning.
“If you say 100 words and get 10 right, is that a prophecy? That’s enough for me! You’re going to marry the most terrifying monster in the world!”
Dina was really indignant.
When her older sister, Garot, celebrated her 10th birthday, the old woman blessed Garot and fell into a kind of reception.
Foaming at the mouth, the old woman, her eyes widening as if she was about to run out of breath, pointed her finger at the garrot and shouted.
“A monster, a monster’s bride. I’m going to marry a non-human. He’s a monster that brings disaster and destruction! Ah, terrifying. Terrible—!”
Saying that, the old woman got tired of urinating.
It was a very eye-opening story.
People thought that the old woman had been very drunk and had a volatile temperament in her old age.
However, Garot did not hear the story as a lie.
‘Should I marry a monster?’
I also felt a bit sad.
That sad feeling made Garot look even more beautiful by adding depth to his eyes as he got older and more beautiful, and that made people feel sorry for him.
“Sister! Look at this!”
At that time, my sister, who was playing in the field, called.
As Garot approached, the child was lying on his stomach, bleeding.
“The devil! The devil’s child! Look at the horns on his head!”
Devil-.
Its presence made Garot’s hair stand on end.
I’ve heard of demons living in Pandaemonium quite a bit, but it was the first time I saw it like this.
“I’m going to kill you.”
Garot pulled out an old iron sword from his waist.
As Garot learned, demons were meant to be killed, not allowed to live.
But Dina stopped.
“Uh, sister! She’s still a child! She’s also injured! How about we take her and treat her? Huh?”
It was an unbelievable story.
However, it was also true that Garot’s grip on the sword loosened his grip. To Garot, the child did not look like a demon, but just a normal child.
even though it had horns.
And that day, the boy devil set fire to the village and called the army of the Duke of Magic stationed nearby to Iscariot Village.
The Duke of Magic slaughtered Iscariot.
Garot could not understand.
“why….”
Then the boy said.
“I-If you don’t make another sacrifice for me, I’ll have to go get the children’s lakes! I don’t want to die! Duke! Duke! Save me! I did as you were told!”
“why….”
Garot asked.
Why couldn’t I kill the demon?
If he had been killed, the village would not have burned down and his family would have died.
“Hunter of Iscariot. I heard that you have a flute that can control the Four Kings Dragon? Give it to me. And the mysterious elixir.”
Garot hated demons.
And he hated himself, who was halfway weak and lived with hope.
“This is an illusion.”
* * *
Garrot immediately understood why the past was unfolding before his eyes. This is probably an illusion.
It must have been that the demon lord Sabrenak shook Garot’s head.
Early on, Garrot had heard in detail from Brigitte and Enkidus ‘the story of defeating the demon king’, and among them, they said that the most terrifying was hallucination magic.
Of course, I also knew about the law.
Garot immediately broke his left little finger.
Awesome-.
When he came to his senses from the pain of breaking his bones, he tilted his head to the left as if Sabrnak’s shadow was curious.
Seeing this, Garot hardened his heart.
“I will kill you.”
“Don’t harm the Demon Lord!”
At that time, Astarosa blocked the gap between the demon king and Garot.
Seeing this, Garot frowned.
“Get out of the way.”
“If you’re going to kill me, kill me too! From my sister’s point of view, I’m a devil too! I have horns and a tail! If you’re going to kill the Demon King, kill me first!”
Garot couldn’t do that.
Even though Astarosa became a demon, Garot still thought of her as his sister, Dina.
“Demon Lord. He saved me. He killed the Duke and saved me and the children! Even though he wasn’t a lunatic at the time…, still!”
Dina was abused under the Duke of Magic.
Because I was hired to pick out children’s drakes, and I walked the tightrope of death every day. It wouldn’t be strange if he died at any time.
The one who freed it was Demon King Sabrnak.
He was called a devil, but he was a wise and clever wizard.
At least it was until then.
Dina decided to follow Sabrnak like a new father, and in fact, Sabrnak cared for Dina like a new daughter.
“But, I mean, I wasn’t the Demon King, but I actually wanted my sister to save me! I waited for my sister to come! Every day!”
Dina finally let go of the tears she had been holding back.
The devil weeps
Everyone who saw this scene was greatly surprised.
I thought that the devil was a monster without blood and tears, and it actually showed that way. But Astarosa shed tears and wept very sadly.
“But you didn’t come to rescue me! Of course I know! At that time, you were still young too! Forced!”
Astarosa did not want to let the demon king die.
Even if it is a false shadow that cannot speak.
Seeing Dina like that, Garot was momentarily shaken. And in the fight of the absolute strong, a small gap led to fatal results.
The demon king moved only his fingers holding the staff and shot a death ray at Garot. It pierced Garot’s belly precisely.
“Oh, sister…!!!”
“Ughgeuk…!!!”
A tinnitus sounded in Garot’s ears. The pain that pierced my lower abdomen was so sudden that I didn’t even know it was painful.
However, the reason why Garot screamed was that she had suffered a major puncture wound in her lower abdomen, who was expecting a child someday.
‘Cecily… !’
The so-called heroes and masters were excellent at recognizing their own physical condition. Because of this, Garrot instinctively realized that she would never be able to have children because of this injury. The Demon King destroyed everything that Garot valued more than his life at once. It was quite intentional, and it was an attitude worthy of a demon king.
When I realized that, what came to me was a great sense of loss and anger like the waves of the sea.
“dare… !!!”
Garot gritted his molars. Garot’s molars were actually dentures, but the material was the inner edge of the Four Kings.
It was something similar to the 4-colored brilliant treasures that came out after burning Daejongsa Imoogi earlier.
Of course, the value was as different as that of an ant and an elephant, so Garot smashed the molar made of the inner edge of the Four Kings Dragon and threw it down his throat.
Then, the blood vessels throughout her body began to boil like a furnace, and her body shone like gold for an instant.
With that power, Garot threw his small sword at Sabrnak with all his might. It flew like a meteorite about to crash into the earth, penetrated Sabrnak’s body, and destroyed it.
Everyone who was watching this scene was so shocked that they couldn’t even speak.
‘Didn’t you really defeat that demon king by yourself!? It’s not possible to say great. Awesome. It’s awesome. I’m in a myth right now.’
dump-.
Soon, Garot lost all strength and fell to the floor.
Then he grabbed the pierced stomach and shivered.
It was not fatal.
Garot’s vitality was strong, so it wasn’t enough to die from a single ray of light. However, Garrot was destined to die as long as he used the four dragon king’s inner altar.
If you’re lucky, you’ll have to live with a permanent disability that makes it difficult to even move your limbs.
“I’m sorry, sister! Sister! I was wrong!
Dinah was so shocked and sad that all she could do was cry. It was like that in the past, but even now, he endangered his family with his misjudgment.
Back then it was mom and dad, now it’s my sister and her daughter.
“…Cecily.”
Garot now spewed out the lost tears, not himself.
Garrot treated Cecily harshly, but in fact, it was because he did not want Cecily to make a stupid mistake like himself.
However, now that I think about it, I couldn’t help but think that Garrot had acted foolishly.
‘I should have stroked your hair a little more, spent a little more time with you. A little more… .’
Garot felt the pain as if the joints and veins in his body were being severed due to the sadness of losing his daughter.
Perhaps because of that sadness or because of the wound that pierced his stomach, Garot vomited blood and despaired.
“——–!!!”
Garoth then opened his mouth wide and let out a scream. It was more like a cry that burns and shatters the soul than a scream from pain in the body.
The people gathered around were so-called heroes and masters, but since no one had ever heard a scream like this, it gave me goosebumps, and tears welled up from the depths of my stomach.
People just silently hoped that this moment would pass, and as if their wish had come true, Garot’s screams gradually faded away.
Soon everything around was quiet.
that she fainted
Only then did the people approach Garot one by one.
“I am a priest from the Seonghwangcheong.”
The female priest carefully examined Garot’s neck and wrist to diagnose the pulse. And he knew at once that Garot’s life had only a few minutes left.
The attack from the demon king was not fatal enough to take away her life, but something Garot took had destroyed and melted her body.

“If there was a saintess… .”
Saint Iris, like the first saint in the legend, did not see a miracle to raise the dead. But even so, she was a virtuous and religious saint, and it was possible to save the dying.
But Saint Iris must be close to that terrifying black light.
‘Can we do nothing? we are… .’
People felt extremely helpless.
When they faced the demon king Sabrnak, they couldn’t do anything as if their feet were nailed to the ground, and even though the demon king died, they couldn’t do anything.
As everyone was just looking at this scene, people soon stepped aside one by one. It was because someone appeared among the crowd.
Soon she said in a soft voice.
“Hello everyone.”
It was very beautiful, and on one hand, it even looked sublime. Her golden hair grew like golden waves, and her blue eyes shone like the sky.
Her dazzling white skin could be called a peerless beauty, but she was dressed in leather like adventurers or hunters, so she looked very comfortable.
But what made her look so noble was that every gait and gesture contained graceful beauty.
If it wasn’t for the outfit, wouldn’t everyone have dispatched another saintess from the Seonghwangcheong——to the point of misunderstanding.
“Everyone get out of the way.”
The figure that appeared on this hellish battlefield looked like an angel or a goddess.
Her words were like revelations, and when everyone said to get out of the way, people split left and right, and the woman approached the fallen Garrot.
The woman got down on one knee and picked up a glass bottle from her waist.
Inside the vial was a butterfly flapping its golden wings. When the woman opened the lid, the butterfly landed on Garrot’s injured stomach.
Then a very surprising thing happened.
Garot’s stomach began to heal.
No, it seemed to rewind time to before being injured, to be exact. Dina was stunned when everyone admired the amazing appearance.
“…you, you…!”
The woman took a compass from her waistband and looked around.
It was a very odd looking compass, but Dina-Astarosa could tell it was the same one Cecily had.
“You can’t be Cecil… !?”
