In the name of God (5)
Neftam immediately realized what the pale divine power at the tip of the holy object meant.
“no….”
A drop of clear liquid fell from Yuan’s holy relic and landed on Neftam’s forehead.
Knock.
The effect of the liquid worked right away without fail.
Neftam’s muscles and joints were gradually drained of strength, and the next moment he couldn’t even lift a finger.
As if his lungs were filled with water, breathing became difficult and difficult, and Neftam gasped for breath.
It was poison.
Poison mixed with paralytic ingredients that Yuan used frequently before.
It didn’t take away the senses and strength of the body, but it made it difficult to use strength right away.
“Can you move your mouth?”
Elin asked, watching Neftam gasping with her mouth open to secure her breath.
And as if he didn’t need an answer, he grabbed Neftam by the hair.
“Elina. Will you shake what Leonhard said?”
As if reminded of Elin’s words, Elina held up a small bell that could be held in her hand.
When I shook it lightly, a cool goose bump ran through my body.
ding-ding-
A clear sound penetrated my ears.
Elin’s gaze was cold.
His eyes filled with hatred towards him made his wet skin tingle.
A sense of crisis came over me.
“summer solstice…”
I struggled with my increasingly paralyzed body, but there was no jaw.
My mind raced and a disgusting sensation filled my head.
“Hold your breath. Neftam.”
In the next moment, the undulating water covered Neftam from the back of his head.
His face fell into the freezing cold water.
I was out of breath. The lungs, which were already difficult to breathe, demanded to breathe even more relentlessly.
Neftam struggled desperately. A hand stretched out in haste grabbed Ellin’s arm, scratched it, and clung to it.
However, Elin relentlessly pushed Neftam deeper into the surface.
I heard Elina muttering something.
The clear bell continued to sound. ding-ding
It seemed that he was counting according to the sound of the bell.
“9…10…”
As transparent bubbles bubbled up from Neftam’s mouth, Elin reluctantly pulled her out.
A violent cough erupted from Neftam’s mouth. I had to breathe.
Whether it was because of the poison or because he couldn’t breathe, his eyes kept flashing.
“Leonhardt was right.”
Elin said something unidentified, and pushed Neftam back into the water.
“I don’t like it…!”
In the frigidly cold water, Neftam sank again.
help me. save… Neftam struggled with his arms helplessly.
This time, the sickening clear sound of the bell stuck in my ears.
Elin was counting according to the sound of the bell.
There were many times when I was in danger of dying. Especially when fighting the Demon Dragon King.
But it was the first time he had ever felt so powerless in the face of death.
What was more terrifying and terrifying than that was the eyes looking at him.
Those cold, silvery eyes that lacked any warmth that could be seen over the clear water.
“You weren’t much different from a human either.”
After being pulled out of the water, Neftam was mixed in the cough and tried to breathe.
His throat was sore as he was struggling to breathe.
“Do you think I’m a little wrong now?”
Elin asked in a cold voice.
It was as if he was confirming how painful his punishment was to Neftam.
“Collock…collock…!”
Unfortunately, Neftam did not have time to answer.
All she did was concentrate on breathing while dripping water droplets from her reddened face.
Elin, who was watching her, silently plunged her back into the water.
How many times was this? Neftam felt like he was going crazy for the air in his lungs, which were getting scarce.
It seemed that he would never get used to this behavior. It was just painful and difficult.
“Ellin…Can I stop now?”
“No. If Leonhardt… is hard to see, Elina is looking away.”
The voices of the two saints and sisters came through the turbulent water.
Leonhard. It’s because of him.
right. he made me like this
At that moment, hatred flared up in Neftam’s heart.
I hated those golden eyes that looked down on me.
It was clear that these girls were doing this to themselves on Leonhardt’s orders.
Elina, who was tricked by that guy, was also like that. Yuan’s saint, because you’re stupid in the first place!
will never break Especially if the purpose is to torture and humiliate oneself.
Neftam, taken out of the water, dripped and trembled like an aspen tree.
Even though they were obviously soaked in water, their lips and throat were dry.
“Now is?”
Neftam did not answer.
Instead, he fiercely glared at Elin.
Elin had a soft and gentle smile on his lips.
Her appearance wasn’t much different from Elina’s, so it seemed as if she would give her a blessing right away.
“Creepy. I still don’t know. Just as Leonhardt said.”
She fell into the water again.
It’s not over. They had no intention of ending it.
Nothing was so hopeless in cold water.
with a splash. with a splash.
The shortness of breath was painful.
It wasn’t until Neftam stopped moving her fingertips that Elin didn’t put her back in the water.
It didn’t even take Neftam out of the water.
A string tightened around Neftam’s wrist, tightly connected to the bathtub pole.
“It’s almost time to start. Actually, this part is real. It will be hard, but bear with it. This is also punishment.”
Neftam let out a rough breath and let Elin’s words flow past his ears.
I should have paid attention to those words.
What Elin dropped on Neftam was not just poison, but something with a hallucinogenic effect.
The eyes suddenly glistened. The surroundings became endlessly white, and the senses around them became distant.
It felt different too.
A disgusting, hot smell mixed with the strange smell of old buildings and the smell of rotting food stung my nose.
I could feel the scalding heat inside my arms.
“ah…”
Neftam looked around and saw a girl crying in his arms.
Neftam immediately recognized that it was Yuan.
But he looked very young.
She quickly recognized that it was Yuan from a very young age.
“Dog bitches! Because you guys are here!”
A sharp female voice.
A long time ago, the director of the orphanage where the two orphans stayed was in front of them.
On days when she was in a bad mood, she would take any orphan and beat her like this.
In particular, the hated sisters, known as the two daughters of a traitor, were a better target.
If there really is a God, wouldn’t he bring himself and Yuan out of this hell?
Neftam often thought so.
know the day
The hellish past that I didn’t want to come back and sealed away because I didn’t want to recall was vividly repeating itself.
“Sister…sister…”
In throbbing pain, Neftam desperately embraced his brother.
How much did you promise here that you would protect your brother and be happy?
I never expected that a twisted heart towards my brother would bloom because of that.
I remember. This was a day when the level of violence was much higher than before.
He was beaten so badly that it felt like every bone in his body was broken. It must have been a hallucination, but the pain was so vivid.
Either she or her brother should have died that day.
However, it was thanks to Yuan that that did not happen.
“Sister…I hate this now.”
Neftam tried to do something with the thought of protecting his younger brother who spoke in an earnest voice.
At that moment, all she could do was push the fist-wielding director as hard as she could.
“don’t do it!”
Quadang!
The next moment, the director fell backwards and hit his head hard on the table behind him.
Neftam gazed at the dead woman for a moment.
“Yuan…Did you use your strength?”
It was clear that Yuan’s strength had just surged.
Since childhood, the two sisters have kept Yuan’s powers a secret.
It was because he said he was unusual and did not know what would happen if he was found out.
“Me, without even knowing it… Me too… I… I’m sorry, unnie haaa!!!”
Neftam looked for a moment at his brother, who burst into tears.
Murder.
If they found out about this, they would surely be punished severely.
There was no way anyone would protect the two sisters who were already hated in the village.
even murder. It was said that it was a non-electronic war and was accused of being a devil.
He wanted to cry too. However, if even herself, her older sister, cries, she will give up everything.
I had to protect her. All I could do was myself.
“Yuan. Listen carefully. We have to lie from now on.”
“lie?”
Neftam gently stroked Yuan’s shoulder as he blinked his watery eyes.
And he smiled softly as if to reassure him.
“This is not Yuan’s fault. Everything was done by unnie. If anything goes wrong, it’s unnie’s fault alone. So Yuan will live. Say I did it all. No matter what you say, it’s all.”
It was a lie from then on.
At first, it was to protect his beloved brother.
However, as it was revealed that the dead director was actually a subordinate of the demon dragon, the story gradually began to flow in a strange direction.
In the basement of the orphanage, countless evidences were found that she was serving the Demon Dragon King.
They were stealing orphans from the orphanage and using them for witchcraft.
In an instant, Neftam became a girl who captured the Demon Dragon’s subordinates.
Seeing people rejoice, Neftam realized.
She, the daughter of a traitor, and her sister, how to live without being pointed at by others.
It was to be a hero.
When everyone becomes a hero that everyone envy, all the bad things are forgotten.
Soon the lies grew more and more.
The reason why it was to protect his younger brother was also diluted.
I was happy to see the envy of others. It felt good to have a lovely younger brother relying on him.
everything went smoothly
Unlike before, people didn’t point fingers at themselves.
Everyone looked up to him and wanted to have a conversation with him, even if it was just a word.

Just like the whole world revolves around you.
Wanting this happiness to last forever, Neftam decided to fake his own death.
It will be fine this time too.
I became happy while lying, so this lie will make me happy too.
Time passed quickly, as if only showing her worst moments.
Neftam was looking up at his brother’s corpse, which had been burned for his last lie.
It was so sorry and sad that Neftam couldn’t breathe.
I felt chills all over my body. It was cold and painful.
The screams of his younger brother as he burned were vivid in his ears.
How hot was it again when the flesh was burning?
‘I… Nope. It’s not what I did… ‘
So I had no choice but to make an excuse that it wasn’t my fault.
At first, he had completely forgotten what he was determined to do in his childhood.
I didn’t want to see this sight any more.
But even if he didn’t want to see it, the poison that permeated his body would not tolerate it.
From afar, the sound of a club swinging was heard again.
The terrible hallucination was about to repeat itself from the beginning.
