Poison Saint (2)
The Divine Field was slowly but slowly expanding its range.
It wasn’t just a normal high-ranking priest, but if it was a divine field opened by a saint, it would swallow up about half of Daneheart’s castle.
I have already lived here for 10 years.
Duchy of Danehart was already a home to me, and the people who live here are family.
‘He holds hostages properly.’
The fever started to rise.
But again, I rebuked myself for not being emotional.
‘It’s quite far to my father and mother’s room. But my room is right next door.’
Nias, who rarely wakes up once asleep, was probably still sleeping soundly in spite of all the noise.
It is too greedy to feel the change and want to run away.
However, the moment I got even a little closer to save Nias, the Divine Field would instantly expand in my direction, just like when I ran away earlier.
In other words, in order to protect Nias, I had to find a way to subdue Elin before the Divine Field spread by Elin reached my room.
Fortunately, the speed at which the Divine Field spreads is quite slow, and there is only about 5 minutes left.
That was also the case when Elin didn’t move.
“Isn’t the color gradually changing around Elin-nim?”
Elina, who was looking down at the castle, spoke in a trembling voice.
“Divine Field…? But… not like the bishop’s. I can feel the evil divine power.”
Although she is still young, Elina is also a person who serves God.
The Divine Field, a crystal of powerful divine power, should be something anyone can feel if they concentrate on feeling it.
‘There’s no point in hiding it any more.’
After thinking for a while, I nodded to Elina.
“right. It’s the Divine Field. It is also of an evil spirit.”
At my words, Elina trembled slightly and tilted her head.
who?
why?
I could see that such questions were popping up in Elina’s head one after another.
“Ellin, to kill you.”
“…me?”
Elin said as if he didn’t understand.
“why?”
“I know. I don’t know yet.”
No, I can guess exactly, but I’m not sure yet.
The problem is whether the guess is ‘a hole that needs to be filled in’ or ‘an existing setting’.
At my words, Elina turned her eyes and looked at Elin for a moment.
He lowers his head as if lost in thought. It was the same as slightly raising one eyebrow and narrowing the space between the eyebrows.
The opponent who is trying to kill him is in front of his eyes, and if it is a priest of an evil god who opposes the god he believes in, he will hate it.
Actually, I’m starting to hate it too.
Still, Elina might be needed just in case.
When I tried to open my mouth thinking that I should be persuaded.
“Save me!”
Suddenly, Elina looked at me and shouted.
The clear and pure silver eyes shone with the moonlight.
Right before I was seduced by those eyes, I had no choice but to ask in a questionable voice.
“What?”
“We have to save it!”
I was speechless for a moment.
It’s not because Elina was trying to save Ellin from taking her own life…
“…to save?”
That’s because I didn’t understand it for a while.
Elina nodded at my question.
And as if he didn’t know why, he looked at me.
“But, are you suffering?”
Are you suffering?
I turned my eyes and looked at Elin.
A frown, tight lips, silver eyes looking at us.
And I slowly looked at the meaning of the emotion hanging in those eyes as if interpreting it.
Yes, I was definitely suffering.
like crazy
I saw it and knew it.
Elin’s own will did not intervene in this case.
This wasn’t a game that ended when you subdued or defeated Elin.
It will end only when Elin is saved from that suffering.
“Yes.”
And when I realized that, a spark flew in my head.
The answer I was looking for so far has begun to be reestablished.
‘Would it work?’
I didn’t feel a little uneasy, but it’s the best I can do.
And when you do your best, you have no choice but to believe that the road will open.
“Elina. Do you remember when you were little?”
At my sudden question, Elina widened her eyes as if taken aback.
“yes?”
There was no time to answer everything to Elina who was puzzled.
“I am trying to save you. hurry.”
At my words, Elina grabbed the ends of her long silver hair and twisted her fingers around it as if lost in thought.
“…there will be no… I don’t remember much before I was 5 years old. It’s just that I don’t have parents and I’ve lived in a temple since I was a child.”
“okay. That’s enough.”
I nodded.
If so, it probably won’t even answer the question I need.
And we need to know whether her past is an empty space in this world or not.
“From now on, I’m going to tell you something shocking. Elina.”
At my words, Elina tightened her arms holding me with a tense expression.
I can feel her determination too.
“If it is necessary.”
I smiled slightly at the satisfactory answer.
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked.”
I turned my eyes away from Elina and looked at another girl who looked just like her.
The girl was staring at us through the window, as if we were standing on opposite sides of each other.
“Listen! Elin!”
I shouted loud enough for Elin to hear.
Elin just stared at him with hateful eyes.
“Are you sure you know who the person you are trying to kill is?”
“…What?”
Elin asked incredulously.
What kind of stupid question are you asking?
“You and Elina are twins. Do you know that?”
At my words, Elin raised one eyebrow.
Even the habits are the same.
It didn’t look shocking.
As expected, as I thought, it had already been set up until here, and Elin knew about it.
The system window saying that the setting was added did not open either.
This is the original setting.
It is not in the original novel or setting, but it is an empty space that has been filled by itself in order for the world to run normally.
‘First, destroying the Divine Field with a mental shock…is it a failure too?’
But this is where it starts.
I was thinking of imprinting a certain setting on the world from here on out.
If you find just one hole, you can imprint your settings there.
Even if you go to the end of the question, the probability is 50%.
Still, it was worth doing.
The coin has already been tossed.
“I will ask you one thing.”
I took a long breath and asked.
.
.

“Is it really what you want to kill your twin?”
The boy’s question pierced Elin’s heart like an arrow.
under the slanting moonlight.
Even just before dawn, the moonlight was still dim.
Elin’s silver eyes held a girl in the boy’s arms.
The girl who looked exactly like herself was looking down at the moonlight with a puzzled expression on her back.
still naive. With a pure appearance that did not realize its own sins.

Just like when I ran into the girl in that darkness.
Even there, with her back to the moon, Elina was looking down at Ellin with white skin like snow, good eyes, and pure goodwill that seemed to be untouched by anything.
The moon shining behind Elin’s back illuminated Elina like a soft halo.
Even then, like that, she kindly squeezed her hand tightly.
“it’s okay?”
So I thought it was an angel.
or something similar to that.
Maybe it’s a savior sent by God.
But soon, Elin felt hatred.
‘Kill.’
I heard a whisper from God.
In that pit, memories that had been buried for a long time came to mind.
How much, how much she had taken away from himself.
Like a venomous snake biting his ankle, the venom of hatred gradually spread deeper into Elin’s mind through the fangs of memory.
Elin heard many stories from her mother, whose love for her had not yet cooled down.
Thanks to that story, Elin knew a lot of things that Elina didn’t.
A story about her being chosen and not being chosen.
It was when Elina was very young.
more than now. A story from when I was a baby.
There was a small village deep in the mountains.
One spring day, when the cold of winter has not yet gone and the snow in the deep forest has not melted.
A group of people arrived in the small town, which is difficult to get to on purpose.
They said they had come to see the stars in the sky.
“For 100 years, no saints appeared in Neftam. However, after a long time has passed, Fiat’s constellation, which symbolizes Lord Neftam, shone towards this village. There should be a saint and a would-be warrior here. Be sure to find it!”
As they said so, they ran through the whole village.
And the Paladins heard the story.
Twins with silver hair were born in a small house.
The Paladins stopped walking in front of a prostitute’s house.
They pushed into the house, ignoring the screaming and pleading prostitute.
And found two newborn babies wrapped in cozy blankets.
The paladins who looked down on the two children for a long time eventually chose one child.
The woman who cried and begged, received money from them.
And, I stopped begging.
So it was.
The woman felt free for the first time with the money she received from them.
The woman who stopped selling herself gave love to the remaining child.
Elin loved a woman who warmly hugged her and told her stories.
The warmth of a warm embrace, a soft blanket, and the warmth of a fire in the fireplace stayed with her throughout her childhood.
And she might get a chance to start a family with the man who loves her.
The woman who was pregnant with the man she loved no longer loved the child of the unknown man.
The touch that held her warmly disappeared like the wind before she knew it.
“It is not easy to love you equally. sorry. Elin.”
8 years old like that.
Suddenly, the girl was almost out of the house.
No one in the house loved Elin. Elin was neglected.
There was only one person in this world, a loner.
Still, Elin was not alone.
Because he knew there was another himself.
In loneliness and hunger, the girl prayed toward the night sky with countless moons and stars.
“Moon. star. Please take care of my twins who are far away safely.”
Called.
It warmed my heart a little when I thought of the child who was living happily far away.
Elin prayed that even that child would be happy.
And one day, this time, people dressed in black came to visit.
They didn’t even follow the minimum duty that the Paladins of Neftam had.
I thought it was obvious from the moment they lifted her hood.
Well, it makes sense that they’re twins. I can’t think of another reason why they would look so alike otherwise.
