261 – 76-4. Even if I’m forgotten.
***
What is going on right now?
───Shoot aaa.
A cold shower began to pour from the sky.
The smell of blood stinging my nose, a scream that pierced the cold air.
Those who are skewered by shadowy tentacles and scatter their entrails.
Fine hoped that the scene in front of her eyes would be an illusion.
I hope you are having a bad dream.
If you close your eyes and open them, you wake up in a soft bed and hope nothing happened.
She wished she could tell the servants she was close with that she had a bad dream.
Emilia always combed her hair before going to bed.
She is a chef who used to make delicious black tea and scones.
From an imperial teacher who taught imperial studies to a gardener who managed a garden in which roses bloomed profusely.
“Ah, uhh.. Ahh..”
Until yesterday, they greeted her while smiling brightly at her.
Because everyone was dead without even closing their eyes properly.
Fine had no choice but to sit on the ground and weep.
Why did these things only happen to me?
No matter how bad the demon kings are, torturing innocent people like this.
‘This isn’t… it’s not…’
I didn’t understand.
The buildings of the Imperial Palace have all collapsed and only rubble remains.
Everything around was on fire, as if the sun had set and hit the ground.
A dark-haired woman leaning against the wall.
As soon as she saw the black hair the same color as Fine, she ran towards it.
I don’t think so. It shouldn’t be
Only thoughts filled her head and became a blank page.
“Uh, Mother..?”
Her face or hair covered in blood.
The main character has the impression that he will die at any moment, as if he was fatally wounded by the demon king.
“My daughter.. Pine..”
A wizard so talented in magic that he is born only once in a thousand years.
The only woman that Emperor Locke loved.
Because she was the empress of the Grancia Empire, Belin Grancia.
She was speaking her last words to her daughter, Fine, as she spewed her blood from her mouth.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you..”
“Mother.. No.. Please..”
Her healing magic fails as Fine squeezes her abdomen with her fern-like hands.
As if a huge hole had been pierced, it was a wound that could not be filled.
“Mom.. Is a little sleepy.. I need to sleep..”
“… Why, why… The wound won’t heal…? No, no… Please…”
The demon’s power to overwrite what has already happened.
Magic Hat is recreating the tragedy that happened in the past here.
“……”
There was no way the healing magic would work.
“My daughter .. But .. She can stay strong ..?”
My only daughter is crying as she watches herself die.
Empress Belin smiled at her tears mixed with tears, not wanting to show it even in the pain of her death.
“Mom.. Mom.. Whoa..”
“Yes.. Our Pine.. Are nice.. Everything will be fine..”
With the last of her strength, she wiped the tears from her young Fine’s cheeks.
A shower that was deafening her ears.
Her mother’s body gradually loses her body temperature and cools down.
It was excessive bleeding to the extent that a large puddle had already been created.
“……”
From Noble mtl dot com
No matter what you do, you won’t be able to save it.
Pine looks at her mother with a devastated expression.
Like an empty glass being broken.
Soon after, Bellin’s arm lost its strength and pop-. As he fell, something in Fine’s heart also snapped.
What if she was just a little bit stronger, if she could protect people from the clutches of demons?
Fine was vomited by endless self-loathing.
“Keuk, keukkeuk..”
One person who had been watching all of that from a while ago.
Magic Hat, the demon of truth, could not stand her laughter and giggled.
“hahahahaha!! What a fun! Really fun!!”
Far from feeling guilty for the tragedy that Fine suffered as a child, the Demon God rejoices with the corners of her mouth raised to her cheekbones.
“Ah, as expected, love that shatters right in front of your eyes is the best.”
He pointed to Fine, who was crying in front of Bellin Grancia.
She begins to open her mouth in admiration for the sight.
“… A person realizes its value only after losing it like this.”
Looks like she shed tears from laughing so much.
He went so far as to say at the end that he was impressed by Bellin’s efforts to keep her daughter from being sad.
“A truly contradictory, selfish race. Isn’t it? Dear warrior.”
With her dying mother in front of her, he approached her sobbing and even taunted her.
“Ah, can’t you answer? Too bad.”
“……”
“Now everything you love will be mine. It’s not worth it!!”
As if all these things were no big deal.
As if expressing gratitude to the audience who filled their fun.
“I finally won!”
A demon god spreading his arms wide and laughing towards the sky.
Even when he was hit by falling pieces of glass and bleeding, he didn’t lose his smile.
“Finally, I succeeded in eliminating all variables and creating a grand route that fixes the world line!”
Grand Route.
Clear all the variables, all the possibilities come together.
A sublime thing that connects even other world lines.
With a completely ‘new possibility’, there was no way to change the grand route in this world.
“Even demons from other worlds can’t touch me anymore!!”
There seemed to be no one to stop him now.
Fine Grancia, who was corrupted into a demon in another world line.
The Wolf King, who led the war to victory and commanded the empire, can’t come here either.
“The condition for becoming a Demon God is tenacity to recover the lost person! I beat that damn dark-haired empress!!”
Yes, it would be impossible for a demon from another world to change the grand route itself.
Magic Hat, drunk on the immediate victory, forgot something important.
He laughed, chatted, and sneered countless times, but he didn’t know what had happened.
Magic Hat was talking while looking at Fine.
“Ah, Dark Knight. Now the one you love will be me. I am the seat of the nameless saint—”
I suddenly realized that she had stopped crying.
And at the end of the line of sight.
“… Wait, why did Belin Grancia turn into the Queen of Hearts..?”
Empress Bellin, who had been dying a while ago, disappeared somewhere, and found a card lying there.
He himself has never used his powers against Bellin.
The thing that traps people in cards is definitely the power of lies it possesses.
“I didn’t use the power. No way….”
Who the hell used it?
“Why did you think only you could do this?”
A humming voice from behind.
Hearing that voice, Magic Hat gave goosebumps all over her body, and she began to break out in cold sweat.
“Thoughts, sorrows.”
A black knight who became the same demon and was able to use the abilities of other demon lords.
Because Lee Soo-hyeon was glaring at him as if he was dying as his blood dripped.
“With this sword, I will replace the tears Fine will shed.”
He was holding a glass sword just like anyone else, and wearing glass armor that shimmered like a jewel.
***
He says that the snake that bites its own tail is Ouroboros.
Like an infinity-shaped continuous loop, a creature with a shape that is unknown where it begins and where it ends.
I wonder if Fine’s life and I were similar to that.
’24 Failures, 25 attempts.’
As a result of countless reflections on the reason why Pantos said that, there is one thing that can be known.
Like the fact that she can’t remember that she was chosen by her holy sword when she was young.
Even though she didn’t see the body of Empress Belin, she knew that she was dead.
Even when I touched Magic Hat’s magic sword, the Queen of Hearts card, there was no recoil.
‘I did something for Fine in the past.’
The power of mindlessness that erases concepts from the world.
Unless you used this to get acquainted with the Magic Hat guy.
Because there were so many contradictions that couldn’t be explained in words.
“This is amazing. I never thought I would have fallen into a demon.”
“Now I understand why, out of many people, you and Fine turned into demons.”
The condition for falling into a demon is that you have to be tenacious in getting your loved ones back even after losing them.
There were extremely few people who met the conditions for this tenacity.
Looking at it, it seems like a very light sentence.
What the hell is the god of darkness doing?
“Ki-woo, the swordsman, has changed…. That’s really interesting. Black knight A mere human can weave a holy sword.”
A magic hat that makes a puzzled expression while looking at me.
Even when he sees me using his authority, he tries hard to pretend not to be shaken.
“But, it’s good enough to stay alive.”
A figure that cannot be recovered even when using the power of lies.
Just as Magic Hat said, blood continues to flow from my abdomen.
‘The wound is too deep.’
Healing using dragon hearts is also impossible.
Since the magic circuit is not connected with Fine in the past.
“If you surrender even now, I will spare your life.”
“…..”
Perhaps it was using the power of the battery, Magic Hat had been spitting out information I didn’t know before.
I’m sure he’ll die if a few minutes pass like this.
“Certainly, you don’t want Fine Grancia to die.”
“Ke, Khehehehe….”
Kwaaak-!
A demon that strangles and threatens young Fine.
I wonder if he didn’t intend to keep his promise from the beginning.
Too much blood has been shed to kill him right now, and there are people who need to be protected.
Fine smiles at the cute spirit, sheds tears in sorrow.
There was one thing I made up my mind while watching the raindrops turn into pieces of glass due to the sword.
‘Even if I disappear from this world.’
I wanted to protect her.
Now there will be no more sad things. Bloody
I raised my glass sword high into the sky and began to focus all my remaining power.
“Yes, now throw away that sword—”
The light emitted from the sword brightens the dark night.
As the glass pieces reflected the light, the surroundings began to brighten like broad daylight.
Soon after, the shadows that Magic Hat cast over the imperial palace disappeared one by one.
“Wait, what are you doing..?”
Sensing the change, he immediately tried to strangle Fine.
Her hand became transparent, passing through her as if it hadn’t been there in the first place.
“Are you trying to touch the world line?!”
My hand started crackling like noise.
Magic Hat screamed in surprise as he saw his body disappear from the extremities.
I didn’t feel guilty looking at the guy who was full of screams.
This choice created a contradiction.
I fought with him without giving up for this.
Even if the price is to sacrifice my own life.
“If you do this, even you won’t be safe!! Black Knight!!”
“… Doesn’t care.”
From the beginning, he was not a hero or a demon king, but a black knight.
Has this fate been predetermined from the beginning?
A pure love black knight who protects love.
Consciousness is gradually blurring.
The hand began to crackle and disappear, just like the magic hat.
“I will erase you from this world with the power of demons.”
In this way, even if I am forgotten, Fine will not be unhappy.
