145 – Scene 145# Words that were never said
*
“… … I beg your pardon?”
Bella couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
On the other hand, the person who said it, Tristan, was calm.
“This dream is your dream, but it is also a dream created by the dreamer. It is because my body assimilated into the dream demon that I was able to come to your dreams.”
No wonder where she got it, Tristan put a cleaver in her hand.
“So if you kill me, the dreamer will die too.”
“Ha, there’s no way you can do that?!”
Bella threw the cleaver away.
Killing the one you love no matter how much you dream.
That was too harsh.
“The only chance to kill the insubstantial dreamer is now.”
“I can’t! How can I… !”
“no. you have to do it.”
Tristan picked up the cleaver that had fallen to the floor.
Then he put it back into Bella’s trembling hands.
“You, the owner of the dream, must get rid of the Dream Demon with your own hands in order to wake up from the dream.”
“Even so… .”
“Nothing to worry about. Even if I die here, it will only happen in your dreams. As long as you leave alive, I will be able to wake up from this dream too.”
His hand gently wrapped around the back of Bella’s hand.
Then, he placed the tip of the knife over his left chest.
“Pick me.”
“… ah.”
My throat started to choke again.
His hand touching the back of my hand was so warm that it didn’t feel like a dream at all.
“… Is this not a dream?”
“You already know, don’t you? This is a dream.”
“Nope. I can’t believe it. If I wake up and you’re not there, I… What should I do?”
Bella was afraid.
I wonder if a nightmare-like reality is waiting for me when I open my eyes.
In that case, wouldn’t it be better not to wake up in this dream forever?
Tristan let out a small sigh.
“… When you wake up from your dream, I will be by your side.”
“… Really?”
“yes.”
“then… Promise me.”
Bella stuck out her little finger.
“Don’t go anywhere and stay by my side.”
“… You really are like a child.”
“It doesn’t matter what you play with. Please make a promise.”
“Tsk… .”
Shaking his head, Tristan clicked his tongue and then promised to place his finger on hers.
“Bella. keep in mind If the dream demon dies, the gates of hell will probably open.”
“It’s hell… ?”
The word hell made Bella flinch.
An eternally burning prison where demons and heinous villains go.
Because it was a place that was reluctant to even mention it.
“yes. Under the dream where we stand now is hell. Originally, it would have been a stage prepared by the dreamer to drop you into hell… . It’s just laughable.”
Tristan said, placing a hand on his chest.
“It makes sense that the devil goes to hell. Whether living demons or dead demons, the only place they return to is hell… .”
And as if advising Bella, he said.
“Be careful not to get caught up in it. It’s a place you can’t get out of once you fall in.”
“count… .”
“Then let’s start slowly.”
Tristan checked the bracelet on his wrist.
The red part is not much left now.
“I will go first and wait.”
As if he was ready, he opened his chest. The tip of the kitchen knife reflected in the moonlight was pointed at his left chest.
Bella, who was holding the cleaver, finally closed her eyes.
With the mindset of being whatever it is.
“… … sorry.”
Pooh-!
The cleaver plunged into Tristan’s chest.
A strange sensation spread through her hands.
It felt like stabbing a doll made of straw rather than a person.
Blood flowed from Tristan’s mouth.
he muttered quietly.
“yes… . It should have been like this at some point.”
“… Yes?”
The moment Bella is about to ask what that means.
awesome-
The scenery around me began to crack.
The rift spread to everything around her.
The two people’s cabin, the bed, the window overlooking the sea, and even the night sky with the moon.
They all eventually shattered.
“oh… .”
Tristan slumped into his seat.
Bella quickly took him into her arms.
The knife fell spontaneously from Tristan’s chest.
And something spilled out of his shadow.
It was dark and squishy, wriggling, and then changed into a certain shape.
The corpse of a woman with a knife stuck in none other than her chest.
It was the dreamer I saw in the underground library.
The guy who was assimilated with Tristan was separated.
Raindrops started to fall on Bella’s head.
When she noticed, the scenery around her had changed.
Bella was sitting on a hill in the rain.
Looking back, the white mansion was sinking with a sound.
coo coo… .
Bella, who looked at him as if possessed, realized.
The place she thought was a hill was actually a cliff.
As the cliff began to crumble, the mansion was also falling under it.
In the confusion, Bella checked Tristan’s condition.
“count… .”
He lay dead in her arms, eyes closed.
Seeing that scene, something made her feel sad, but Bella barely held it in.
calm down. It’s a dream.

Didn’t you promise to put your finger on it?
I’ll go ahead and wait.
When she wakes up, he will be by her side, unconcerned.
Bella laid Tristan on the floor.
I couldn’t bear to leave his body wet in the rain.
She knew it was a dream, but every time she saw his body, her heart felt like it was being torn apart.
The moment she somehow managed to pull herself off, Bella was hit by something.
“…Ugh?!”
Bella, who was thrown out by the sudden impact, was barely able to stop after rolling on the floor several times.
“Cool… !”
Blood gushed out as he coughed, as if his intestines had been injured.
As she was coughing in pain, she heard a terrifying voice.
“Human beings, you dare me… !”
Bella looked up and saw a woman standing in the rain.
It was covered in mud and blood, but I was able to recognize that it was a dream horse that had been down a while ago.
Her eyes were burning with hate.
“live… was there?”
“under! You underestimated the demon’s vitality!”
Mongma pulled out the kitchen knife stuck in his chest.
Her chest, which seemed to have been burnt black, was wriggling as if it were being regenerated.
“Alright… ! You must have scorned me! You son of a lower animal!”
The dreamer kicked Tristan’s corpse under his feet as if he was not satisfied.
Seeing that, Bella exploded.
“Please stop it!”
“what?”
“Get your hands off the man right now. Unless you want to die!”
cried Bella’s angry voice. However, the dreamer looked at her as if it were funny.
“What if you don’t want to die? If you don’t want to die, don’t mess around.”
“Shut up!”
Bella waved her hand and tried to cast light magic.
But at that moment, I felt dizzy and stumbled.
“ah!?”
“Puhh! It looks like he didn’t know because he was in a dream!”
The dreamer laughed and said.
“While you were dreaming unknowingly, I was absorbing the mana. You asshole.”
“What?!”
The dreamer disappeared before my eyes and grabbed Bella by the neck.
Bella struggled, but couldn’t escape the power of the dreamer.
“Since my dreams are shattered, I don’t have any power left to use, but I can easily subdue four years without a single magical power.”
The place where the dreamer dragged Bella was a crumbling cliff.
“Look Carefully. The gates of hell have opened to take me away. But do you think I’m going to hell? huh? You go to hell instead of me.”
“Keugh… .”
“don’t worry. Because I will take good care of your body! Pooh! It’s like a person with the magic of light falls into hell!”
“Leave this… . this demon… .”
I kicked in the air, but to no avail.
Hell was beneath her feet.
A pitch-black darkness shimmered beneath the cliff.
It was a creepy vibe.
I felt like I somehow knew that if I fell into that place, I would never come out again.
The dream horse slowly relaxed his hand to drop Bella with a face that did not doubt victory.
That was the moment.
“heheheh?!”
Suddenly, dark red blood flowed from the dreamer’s mouth.
The sudden shock caused the dreamer to backtrack, leaving Bella a few centimeters behind the cliff.
“Coke… !”

Did the goddess of luck come?
Bella, who barely survived, coughed and looked up at the dreamer.
And there… .
“Hey, hey hey… ! This bastard!”
Standing behind the dreamer was a man.
The blade thrust into his back pierced his chest.
“count… ?!”

Did Bella’s knife miss his heart?
After stabbing the dream horse, Tristan said to Bella.
“… Being so kind won’t kill me. cool… !”
“count!”
Blood flowed from Tristan’s mouth.
He was alive, but still seriously injured.
He did not let go of the knife that stabbed the dreamer even when he was in a state of disrepair.
“W-Where did this dying guy get this kind of power… !”
The dream demon screamed in a hateful voice and ran amok.
With the momentum to chew on Tristan’s head at any moment.
However, he couldn’t move easily, probably because the place he had been stabbed by Tristan went deep.
“I will kill you! I will kill you! I will definitely kill you guys! I will tear you limb from limb!”
“It’s noisy… .”
But something was strange.
Tristan wrapped his arms around the dreamer from behind to keep him from moving.
And I started walking forward, one step at a time.
Understanding the suspicious movement, the dreamer widened her eyes in amazement.
“You, what are you doing right now?! Maybe with me?!”
“yes.”
Tristan said to the dreamer with a smile full of ‘arrogance’.
“Come to hell with me.”
“This, you stupid bastard!”
Tristan threw himself down the cliff with the screaming dreamer.

“count!!”
Bella got up and threw her upper body toward the cliff, surprising even herself.
please reach out!
She quickly reached out and felt something touch her fingertips.
I grabbed it as hard as I could.
“Eww… ?!”
At last, Bella was dragged and almost fell, but she managed to hold onto it with all her remaining strength.
But it wasn’t Tristan’s hand that she was holding.
What Bella managed to grab was the bracelet on Tristan’s wrist.
The thread woven bracelet was pulled taut.

Dream Demon was falling to the bottom of Hell.
It was over. Relief… No, I couldn’t be relieved yet.
“Ugh… .”
Bella was holding Tristan with one hand. I just didn’t have enough strength to lift him.
But she couldn’t let him go by any means.
“Bella… .”
“Ughhhhh… . don’t tell me… . Because it’s hard… .”
“Let go.”
“… ?!”
Bella’s eyes widened at the calm voice.
“what… ! Ugh?!”
I was desperately resisting, but Bella’s body was being dragged away.
“Then they both fall.”
“It’s noisy… . I’ll soon… . I’ll upload it… .”
Bella strained her arm.
It felt like my arm would break.
Tristan shook his head.
“… If you don’t let go, it will fall to you.”
“You said it was noisy!!!”
The words that came out of Bella’s mouth were close to screaming.
“I’m not going… . No, I can’t! I can’t leave you! If I let go of your hand, you will fall to hell!”
“… I said something useless.”
“Keep quiet! Because you will surely save me… !”
Bella screamed desperately.
Contrary to what was said, however, Bella was increasingly driven to the precipice.
‘The arm… .’
Bella bit her lip.
“I’ll save you… . I’ll save you… .”
“… … .”
“The person I love is… !”
Blood leaked from his lips.
Tristan hung on, staring at Bella in silence.
Rain fell on his battered face. No, maybe it was Bella’s tears.
“Now that I have come out of the dream, I have no time… . Leave it and go.”
Just as Tristan said, now the bracelet has turned completely black except for a few strands.
But Bella shook her head.
“no… . I won’t let you go even if I die… .”
Bella’s arm trembled.
Even if I fall, I will never let go.
Then, Tristan quietly raised his arm.
Along with the kitchen knife held in the other hand.
The point of the knife was directed to the bracelet that Bella was holding on to.
Realizing what Tristan was thinking, Bella burst into tears.
I desperately shook my head to somehow stop him.
“Bella.”
“don’t do it… .”
“Don’t cry for me.”
“Do not do that… .”
“Because I don’t deserve it… .”
The blade went through the bracelet.
Eventually, Bella begged.
“please please… ! Do not do that… ! Do not!”
“Bella… .”
At the last moment, Tristan laughed softly.
With self-respect, not arrogance.
And he said something he had never said before.
“sorry.”
Tuduk.
Tristan fell to the bottom of hell.
