The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me chapter 376

“Ruby.”

Frey, who had a blank expression on her face, applied strength to her body to break the rope, and then got up and opened her mouth.

“Ruby, answer me.’

“……..”

Until now, she had reacted immediately to Frey’s words. But now Ruby was just in silence with her head bowed.

“shit.”

Frey, who stared blankly at the scene, broke out in a cold sweat and spit out swear words.

“why…”

Ruby’s soul was shattering in real time.

It was not the case of himself, who borrowed Perloche’s ability to artificially shatter his soul and then stole it.

Her soul is really falling apart.

Originally, it was a good thing.

It should be applauded and rejoicing.

The existence of absolute evil, the most terrifying and disgusting being in the world, who has been confronted with the hero so far.

The soul of that being is about to be completely shattered.

– Jureuk…

However, Frey’s expression as he watched Ruby weeping while sitting on the cold floor was not very good.

“…it’s not like this.”

The initial plan to use the Fourth Trial to attack Ruby was put on hold for a long time.

A quest that appeared a few days before entering the fourth ordeal.

Frey watched the quest and tried to decide what to do with her in the future by observing the ordeal.

But, she’ll make a ‘sacrifice’ by hitting the player first.

“……..”

If it goes like this, the ruby will become a monster or a shell with a lost soul.

Until the final decisive battle, scheduled for the ‘system’, arrives.

When that day comes, you can kill her by stabbing her with the warrior’s weapon.

Then everything will be over and the long-awaited ‘happy ending’ will come.

[Unexpected Quest – Ruby Rescue]

Details: Select ＜Sudden Quest – Corruption>.

[Reward: Fixed the bug in the fourth trial…….]

However, Frey had another reason to withhold the choice.

[…Opening the True Ending Route]

A true ending that has not been mentioned anywhere so far. If it exists, it is a true ending that must be reached at all costs.

As soon as he saw the quest, he immediately accepted it, probably because of the reward.

maybe.

– Shaa…

Ruby’s soul in front of her was now falling apart beyond control.

If it collapses any longer, the very existence of ‘Ruby’ will disappear.

– Ugh…

So, after standing for a while with a blank expression on her face, Frey quietly puts the ring she was wearing on her little finger on Ruby’s finger.

An object that Ruby, who was in a panic when Frey’s soul was destroyed, was unaware of it and saved it from all over the world.

Among those objects, this ring, which was also mentioned in the setting book of the prophetic book, was actually a rare item that had the effect of catching the soul.

“Ugh.”

When the ring is inserted, Ruby’s soul, which had been collapsing, begins to stabilize slightly.

But that wasn’t enough.

Like Frey and Perloche, Ruby’s soul, which had been retryed to the limit, was too messed up to be stabilized with a single ring.

– Jureuk…

So Frey, who was biting her lip and worried, immediately grabbed a sharp stone that was rolling on the floor and cut her arm down.

– Jureuk…

It was to make a blood oath, the most effective way to stabilize the soul.

“…Drink, Ruby.”

“Ugh.”

It is unprecedented for a thousand years for a human to even make a blood oath to a human.

Of course, there was no case in which a person who had received an oath of blood from someone else swore a blood oath to that person.

“…gulp, gulp.”

Frey, who made the oath of blood he had always been given to someone for the first time, also to the Demon King, felt a dizzy feeling and closed his eyes tightly.

– Shaa…

Is it a side effect of a double contract? Is it because of the contradiction that they gave their souls to each other?

The two souls are mingled together in a fleeting moment.

“Ugh…”

At the same time, Frey began to rush in,

Ruby’s memories.

Scenes that have been vaguely reminiscent of the past few days begin to be reproduced before his eyes as vividly as if they were seen in front of his eyes.

“………”

Frey’s expression as he watched those scenes began to harden in real time.

“What…”

Suddenly, a voice came out of his pale blue face.

“What the hell…?”

Time began to flow over and over, like blood flowing out of Frey’s arm and into Ruby’s mouth.

“Umm…”

So, how much time has passed?

“…frey?”

Ruby, who had been lying on the floor as if dead, slowly opened her eyes and began to look at Frey.

[2 – 01]

[Fray Memory Recovery (1/1)]

[You have cleared the 2nd stage quest!]

“what?”

A clear message appeared in front of her like that.

“……After all, Freya.”

Ruby stared blankly at the message for a moment, then muttered with an expression that she knew it would happen.

“Did you do something again…?”

Frey in front of her had a confused expression on her face.

It was because the precious memories that Ruby recalled were passed on to him as the souls mixed for a while as a side effect of making a ‘blood oath’ to each other.

“What are all these memories…?”

Thanks to this, the system was able to recognize this situation as ‘clear’, but it was quite a shock for Frey.

“This is… a memory that happened? Lie. It can’t be.”

“Fray…”

“There was no such round!!”

What Frey saw were the scenes he had drawn in the first round of the ordeal that happened in real life.

In a cave that seems familiar somewhere, the two of them, who still look young, are staring at each other.

Ruby in the Sunrise Academy uniform is talking to Frey with the five main heroines.

In the desert area of the Western Continent, where he came on a field trip to the Academy, sharing whole wheat bread and potato soup that Ruby brought.

Going to a play, buying clothes, eating ice cream.

Holding hands and looking at the starry sky from the rooftop.

“These memories… are all real…?”

Not only paintings, but also false affections that Frey has done with the intention of destroying Ruby.

And Ruby’s affections for him were also mixed.

“Nonsense.”

It was only natural that Frey had panic attacks.

“The unconscious is… a terrifying law.”

Ruby, who looked at him with sad eyes, felt the pain that would tear his soul at any moment, but forced himself to stand up.

[Last Quest]

When the ‘last quest’ appeared in front of him, he stopped walking.

“”……..””

And the stillness began to flow.

“Ah, ah ha ha ha!!!”

Ruby, who broke the silence that had lasted for several minutes, suddenly burst out an awkward laugh and spread her arms.

“It’s all according to my plan!”

“…plan?”

And then, Ruby shouts loudly at Frey, who still has confused eyes.

“To be deceived by the false memories I planted and to sacrifice my soul in the end! After all, you are an idiot, Frey.”

Hearing those words, Frey’s eyes began to tremble.

.

.

.

.

.

“What? Did you really think that was a memory of you and me? You’re more naive than I thought!”

Ruby’s attack, which began to make a pitiful expression, flooded Frey.

“You idiot! Everything I’ve done so far has been ‘deception’!”

“Deception…?”

“All the backgrounds I’ve said so far have been lies. You were the hero who almost defeated me, and I was the demon lord who was on the verge of defeat. I just induced you, who lost your memory, to give your soul to me!”

“……..”

“Even explaining how to make a blood oath was all an aim!”

Having said that, Ruby said with a smirk.

“Now you can’t give me orders. I can only stick with force!”

Ruby smiling and Frey’s magic face collide at the same time.

In the aftermath, the underground hideout began to shake and crack.

“I’ve been waiting only for this moment. I wondered what would happen if I didn’t give my soul by any chance… As expected, I succeeded in gambling…”

Ruby presses Frey by increasing the amount of magic emitted with a subversive force, as if she had returned to her former demon lord’s form.

“…..Uh-huh.”

Then, suddenly, she withdrew her magic and knelt down.

“Cool, cool… uh… I can’t believe it. Stand, no way… my soul wasn’t fully recovered…”

And then, Ruby muttered like that with an awkward expression on her face.

“Ugh… my body, my body doesn’t move…”

Then she raises her head with an angry expression and looks up at Frey.

“”……..””

And the stillness began to flow.

– Sureung…

As Frey quietly drew his sword, Ruby murmured with an angry expression.

“Damn… is it a failure?”

“……..”

“What are you doing? Hurry up, without pushing the sword. Are you playing with me?”

– Sreuk…!

“I must give up this body. But relax. My soul will soon find another body…”

“Ruby.”

Frey, who was still looking at her with a cold expression, pointed a knife at her neck.

“Don’t be silly.”

“……What?”

Then he opened his mouth with a pale, tired expression on his face.

“Why are you acting?”

“Uh, what are you talking about?”

“Are you… are you doing this to kill me on purpose?”

Hearing those words, Ruby’s eyes began to waver.

.

.

.

.

.

“Mumu, what are you talking about. Don’t be silly and cut me down.”

“Your soul is on the verge of being shattered. If you stab you with this sword imbued with the power of a saint, as you have known, your soul will be destroyed no matter what.”

“Well, then, do it quickly. Why are you hesitating?”

Ruby, who was kneeling in front of me, smiled at my words and replied that way.

“If you kill me, everything will be over. Is it because you don’t have the confidence to do that? It wasn’t a man, it was a girl, Frey.”

“………”

“Cool, cuddle… Well, that’s fine. If you’re not going to attack me… I’ll…”

Anyway, it’s acting.

Her attitude changed in an instant. It has been reinforced by countless regressions, but there are subtle hints of lies.

And, her eyes are decisively moistened.

“The memories of meeting you in the cave, the memories of talking at the academy, the memories of traveling together… Are all those real?”

“No, didn’t you say. That’s fake…”

“Then why are you trying to force me to die now?”

After hearing those words, Ruby chewed her lips and looked into the air.

what are you looking at

Such behavior is usually seen when checking the system.

Did you get any new quests?

“I wonder if there really was… was there a forgotten episode…?”

“You’re so stupid, Frey.”

When I asked with a blank expression, Ruby flinched for a moment, then changed her expression coldly and opened her mouth.

“No episodes are forgotten. They’re all false memories I made.”

“……..”

“Actually, you have the original memory right now, don’t you?”

my heart is pounding

Did she already know that I had original memories?

“Do you think I didn’t notice your trap?”

“trap…?”

“He tricked me into thinking that I had a relationship in the past, and he tried to feed me into the ‘fourth ordeal’.”

Having said that, Ruby exuded magical energy with an angry expression on her face.

“So… I used the same strategy. I created a false memory and made you sacrifice for me.”

“……..”

“But this is because the soul-breaking strength is adjusted incorrectly. Kill it quickly. Then you will be replaced with a new body.”

The head is complicated.

Once this is true, it can be roughly explained.

All of the information I’ve come up with so far is a false memory of Ruby who noticed my scheme during the fourth ordeal.

She used it to make me take a blood oath so that I could be on an equal footing again, and further, she tried to kill me, but failed and ended up like this.

– Sureung…..

“Kill me quickly. I’m sick of this body now.”

perfect explanation.

With this, you can kill Ruby without any guilt.

– Jureuk…

Unless there were tears from her eyes.

“Kill me quickly… Frey.”

If you kill her now, you will see a happy ending.

Five main heroines and sub-heroes.

My family and the world will be happy again.

“Kill me… please.”

As a demon lord, she will become a monster, or her soul will die and she will become an empty shell.

“………”

But then the truth will be buried forever.

The truth of Ruby, and the ‘genuine ending’ that is not a happy ending, cannot be known forever.

“Fray. If you don’t kill me now… I’ll kill one person every minute.”

After realizing that lies no longer work for me, Ruby said with tears in her eyes.

“From your younger brother. I’m going to kill you in a cruel and horrendous way.”

“……..”

“Then the first-year students. Anything is possible now that the system’s restrictions are gone.”

Ruby continued speaking with a terrifying expression on her face.

“After that, Kania. Then Irina. Then Clana, Serena, Perloche…”

“Tell me the truth.”

“If you don’t want to see your loved ones die, you’ll have to kill me now.”

“Tell me… the truth.”

“30 seconds left.”

Suddenly, the sword in contact with her stomach begins to tremble.

“Twenty seconds.”

If you pierce her stomach like this, it’s a happy ending.

“Ten seconds.”

A tragedy that seemed like it would last forever is coming to an end.

“Five seconds.”

The truth that might bury me will be buried forever.

“Four seconds, three seconds…”

What choice should I make? What should I do in this situation?

“Two seconds.”

I don’t know. I don’t know.

“1 second…”

“Come on, wait…”

Ruby, who had been counting the candles like that, reached out to the children in the distance.

At the same time, the moment when power entered my hands.

– Grip Jijijik…!!!

Suddenly, it happened.

“Hey!?”

“Wow, what…!”

The basement, which had been designated as a respawn location for return, begins to be enveloped in darkness.

– Fajik, Fajik…! Gripping support…!

Before long, the ugly tentacles began to sprout from all directions.

“Well, what is this…”

“Uh, uh…”

“…Ruby?”

At that time, when I frowned at the disgusting appearance I had seen many times, Ruby, who was counting with a determined expression, sat down with a pale, tired expression.

“Why do you…”

– Do you want to know the truth?

“Hey, that’s a surprise!”

As we were about to take a step towards her, something huge appeared in front of us.

“…what is this?”

Those were huge eyes.

.

.

.

.

.

– Nice to meet you, Frey.

“you…”

– Long time no see.

Frey, who looked at the eyes that appeared out of nowhere with a cold expression, immediately cooled his head and asked a question.

“…Who are you?”

– I don’t think I can give you an answer you can understand.

Frey frowned at those words and took a step back.

A power he couldn’t even fathom was emanating from his eyes.

– If it’s the best explanation you can understand… ‘The one behind the demon’ would be more appropriate.

“…maybe, are you a black screen?”

– There is nothing more unpleasant than being discovered by a trivial thing.

“What’s going on here?”

Frey, who instinctively noticed that the eyes in front of him were the dark side of all this, asked a question with a nervous expression.

– I came to tell the truth on behalf of the main body.

“Why? Why?”

– This is the highlight prepared with the most effort for you guys, but wouldn’t it be a waste if the truth was buried without seeing the light?

Then, the eyes answered in a calm voice.

“Frey, kill me.”

As soon as those words were finished, the contemplative Ruby got up from her seat and shouted that.

“Kill me right now!!”

– Don’t dry it. I will respect your free will.

“Don’t listen to that bastard! Just kill me!!”

– But, can you listen to what I mutter?

Frey was looking at Ruby with his sword in his hand, waving his hand. Then, knowingly and unknowingly, he began to listen to the murmurs of his eyes.

– You used to hate rye bread so much, but why did you like rye bread?

“Oh, that’s…! The fake memories I planted… Khuh!?”

Ruby fell to the floor after being slapped by the tentacles while trying to intervene in those eyes.

“Lou, Ruby…”

– Why did she, who used to be a demon king, become a ‘girl’ as soon as she took off her position thanks to you who chose corruption?

Frey’s eyes, as they reached out to her, began to shake.

“What the hell are you trying to say…”

– What is the reason why Isolet Arham Bywalk was eliminated from the 6th main heroine?

“……!”

After a while, Frey raised his voice with a ferocious expression, and froze upon hearing those words.

– Why is your shop’s special move ‘Mind Control’ and Ruby’s shop’s special move is ‘blind love’?

“……..”

– Why did your guy accept the salvation quest as soon as he saw it?

“…What.”

Frey, who had been frozen for a while, opened his mouth with a trembling expression upon hearing those words.

“It’s… to see the true ending…”

– You just watched ‘Ruby’s Salvation’ and clicked Accept right away? My head was filled with the thought that I had to do it, but I didn’t even know why?

“……what.”

Then Frey realized that he had pressed accept as soon as he saw the word ‘Ruby’s Salvation’ without knowing anything, and put his hand into his arms with trembling eyes.

– The pendant is still there.

The pendant, the Easter egg he had received from the Star God, was held in his hand.

– Shaa…

For some reason, when I opened it now, it felt like it would open wide.

– In it, the truth is written.

“…what is the truth?”

“Fray. Don’t do it. No. Just kill me. Don’t check that.”

“Tell me what the truth is.”

When Frey asked with a burning heart, his eyes narrowed and answered.

– Initial draft.

“What……”

With those words, the pendant opened wide without Frey even touching it, and light began to fill the room.

“What is this…”

– Like… Yeah. I’m guessing it should be round 0.

“…..!”

Frey’s gaze, who had been engulfed in the light and vanished, reached Ruby, who had her head bowed with a bewildered expression, and her pupils, who were still narrowing her eyes.

– It’s been a long wait. I’m very excited.

– PAZZZZZZ…!!

At the same time, Frey disappeared with the light.

– Sometimes, the truth is harsher than the lie.

The last voice he heard in his ears was a sarcastic sarcasm soaked in anticipation in his eyes.

.

.

.

.

.

“haha…?”

Frey, who had been struggling with a feeling that his whole body would be torn apart, came to his senses and looked around.

“Here…?”

A familiar scene was entering his vision.

“It’s the Demon King…”

The place he was in was none other than the top floor of the Demon King’s Castle.

“…Umm.”

Frey, who could not adjust to the sudden situation and looked around, immediately checked his situation and sighed.

“Are you in spectator mode again?”

His body was transparent.

It was the same feeling as seeing the world in a state of transparency in the second and third trials.

“Then first… check what’s going on inside…”

After realizing the situation he was in, Frey was contemplating whether to go inside the top floor.

– Bang!!!

“…..!?”

The need for that was soon gone.

“Keck… Kek…”

“Useless b*tch. As you grow older, you lose your qualities.”

It was because the door of the Demon King’s room on the top floor was smashed and a girl who was thrown out from the inside soon started rolling down the hallway in the aftermath, and someone came out from between the gaps with a cold expression on her face.

“…….uh.”

Frey, who saw his pale and cold face through the crack in the door, began to mutter with a blank expression on his face.

“You’re the first demon king.”

Seeing the image in the prophetic book, I knew it well.

In front of him is none other than the first demon king.

He was a demon king from a thousand years ago who was said to have been brutally defeated by the first hero Hanbyeol and the first hero party.

“Then… is it… a thousand years ago…?”

With that thought in mind, Frey turned to the girl who was rolling down the hallway.

“…..uh.”

Then he immediately opens his eyes.

“Uhhh…”

“The next time you think about running away, it doesn’t end with a stigma.”

A very familiar face appeared in front of me.

“…Luru?”

pink hair. Obedient, and dead eyes.

It was, after all, a young Lulu.

“…what is this.”

“Luru.”

Frey’s eyes, who were confused and unable to understand the sudden situation, turned to someone who quietly came out of the next room after a few minutes.

“Are you okay….?”

“……..”

A girl with ruby-colored eyes had turned into dead eyes and embraced Lulu, who was self-harm.

“crazy…”

Whoever it was, it was a young Ruby.

“Sister… I… I don’t think I can take it anymore…”

“Umm…”

After being hugged by Ruby, Lulu began to mutter in a trembling voice. The young Ruby, who looked at her with a trembling voice, quickly looked around and whispered a whisper in her ear.

“…Luru, let’s run away.”

“Uh-huh?”

“Shh, be quiet.”

Ruby hurriedly puts her hand on Lulu’s mouth, and she becomes quiet. But his eyes still looked worried.

“If Dad and Mom find out… we’ll both die.”

“Okay, there’s a way.”

Ruby patted her back and whispered quietly once more.

“Let’s go to a future that they can’t even find.”

“…What?”

“A thousand years from now. We’re going to a place where no one can stop us.”

“Uh, uh…”

Upon hearing those words, young Lulu’s eyes began to tremble.

“what is this…..”

And it was the same with Frey.

“What?”

The truth that had been erased was unfolding before his eyes.
