- Yikes.
Open the door to the basement and enter.
The basement with the same blue light as death was quite spacious, but the entrance was the only one. The walls are barefoot, all traces of fire, palm marks everywhere.
"The hell I saw before."
That was her hand.
The grudge of the Banshees who were trapped in the basement and burned to death.
Until the moment she died, she knocked on the walls and doors of the basement. This was the hell I saw before.
Thinking about it, I looked around and soon found a human figure.
"This?"
Bone fragments that have become completely charcoal.
A lot of numbers.
It must be the same number of banshees that are prevalent in this mansion. They asked me to collect these remains. In exchange for that deal, he paved the way to the basement of the mansion where he became a maze in the shield and couldn't find his way.
Honestly, there was nothing to be gained.
I just got a chance to take care of the accident.
But right now, you're gonna have to do that.
Anyway, this remains... Argh!
"Oh, fuck!"
At this moment, I felt an ominous thought and ran through the space. The fact that there are dead bodies on fire here... maybe even my friends!
"Copson! Maria! Lina!!!"
No way these bastards are already dead!
I told Banshee to go down before it was too late!
- Tuck.
At that moment, I saw Copson naked in front of me. Surprised, I swiftly blew myself at him.
"Oh, fuck! Hey, wake up!"
You son of a bitch!
I looked into whether Copson was alive or not.
"Son of a bitch! Wake up!"
- Ugh!
I immediately scratched his cheek.
There was no response.
"Damn it...! No way!"
If Copson dies here, he won't know what to do. Once again, I took off the gauntlet and stabbed his finger in the neck to check the pulse.
- Headaches.
Fortunately, the heart was beating, and breathing is normal. He was just lying there, losing his mind. It looks like he's still alive.
"Ha, fuck."
I was reassured.
Meria, too, was lying next to him.
I also checked their survival. Check for breath and pulse. They're all alive. I just lay there with my eyes closed as if I was asleep.
I don't think I've taken souls from ghosts.
Looks like the bad guys moved the kids into the basement... Why the hell did you do that? I recall Banshee saying, 'She will soon count the numbers in the mansion.'
I don't know what would happen if I counted the numbers, but the purpose of the other evil spirits was to take people's lives, except for Banshee who asked me earlier.
They are aiming for the life of the living just as they died.
"These bastards..."
But why aren't you breaking it?
I grabbed them, shook them and slapped them on the cheek, but nothing happened.
I also poured water from Kopson's throat and glabella, but I only breathed and didn't react. I became a fully asleep princess in the forest.
Is it because of the magic of the mansion?
I don't know, but for now, being alive is enough. I don't know what the fuck this is. I can't even get help from these bastards, so things are going to get trickier.
Then let's move these guys outside.
"Uh."
As I tried to pick up Copson, more things came to my attention.
"..."
Copson and Maria. And Lina wasn't the only one.
- Adventurers.
There were all kinds of dressed people everywhere in the basement. They are also lying dead like Copson. I checked the guys out front and they were serious enough, but for now, they seem to be alive.
Are they all missing?
Are those the adventurers who headed to the mansion and those who were missing in the nearby town?
I remember a little bit of time. If you've been lying here since then, there's a good chance you might be seriously malnourished.
Well, my friends are more important than these guys.
Let's get my friends outside. Maybe the evil spirits are planning to kill the people in the basement as a group.
I think we should move to a safe place and find a way... It's very tricky. No matter how crazy I am, I can't fight to protect the three who lost their minds.
This motherfucker.
I thought I could do whatever it takes to get together and fight the kids, but this is what it looks like. We have to find a way.
Uh-uh! Uh-uh...! Ah, where are you... Knight. Ugh!
Right then, I heard a cry again.
A haunted nun, the owner of a mansion.
- It's a lace queen.
The mournful cries coming from the outside of the basement were getting closer and closer to here.
Do you intend to come to the basement?
I must make up my mind.
- Ugh..! Ugh! Argh! Why, why don't you save me... Knight! Please, please... Ugh!
There are only two holy water bottles in my possession.
I don't know if I can beat that powerful ghost with it. Unlike my powers, I don't know the exact power of Holy Water. That is why we left it as the last resort.
And this is the last moment.
I approached the door.
- Knight...! Are you here? I've been waiting for you...! Argh! You came down to the basement to save me!
The structure of the basement entrance has already changed.
It's a different landscape than when I came in.
What was open in front of it was a straight passageway made of cold stone. On the other side of the aisle, a blue lace queen was flying slowly towards this place with her bandage in the air.
- Ugh! Finally, finally, finally. Finally...!
I shed tears as she blushed.
The tears that fell on the floor froze. Ice flakes like thorns rise from the frozen floor.
It was the expression of a grudge with a deadly deadlock.
"Yes."
I answered with my sword drawn.
"I am the one who came to save you."
The doctrine of Fusion Judaism. Salvation is coming soon. The Old Testament will soon be salvaged. The dead must not interfere with the living. It was the only salvation that made her angry.
"I'm not ready to be saved."
A long grudge must end here.
She won't be the one to cry for revenge already. Only they remain fixed, unable to unravel their grudges and drift away from the nine thousand.
"Are you ready?"
I tell her what she wanted to hear the most.
"Ah, ah...! Aah! Aah!!"
Speaking of which, Lace Queen shouts in a heartbeat.
"I waited! I waited! I waited, I waited!! Argh..! I've been waiting..! I was expecting you!!!"
I was touched by a bright face as if I had received a divine revelation. The tears that poured down did not freeze. The floor, which was already frozen, melted.
"It was too hot. They insulted us, locked us in the basement and set fire to it."
Race Queen, who was in a fever, started screaming.
It was calcination.
The first calculus in this mansion I could not hear. I listened to her quietly, holding the knife.
"No one came to save me. No one opened the door. We just, we just hold each other's hands...!"
I cry out for pain.
She wasn't looking at the time of reality right now. The burning eyes were facing past catastrophes.
"Screaming in pain... one at a time, losing my mind... Aah!!! It's hot! It was hot! It was hot!!! Why! Why!! Why! Why do we look like that!!!! Why!!!"
Inhuman screaming.
I could also empathize to some extent with the fact that the Banshees showed the truth of the mansion. Horrible violence wielded upon innocent women. She is a witness of catastrophe.
Screaming continues.
"Urgh, urgh...! It's hot... It's hot... It hurts, it hurts... Ugh! Ugh! It hurt so much.. Ugh! No one's coming to get you. So, so..."
In the hands of Lace Queen, who covers her face with both hands, tears flow endlessly.
"All of you, too."
At this point, when the tears stopped.
Suddenly she stares at me with her face and says coldly.
"You have to burn to death."
Screams turn into curses.
The two eyes of Lace Queen staring at my face with tears in their eyes were full of hatred. When a woman holds a grudge, she says frost will come down on New Wall.
- Arrow!
At the same time, a blue flame burns from behind her.
It's more of a fire than a frost.
It ended up like this. Her grief and grudge were deposited and combined and turned into hatred. This is the essence of evil spirits. Compromise is not possible.
"Fuckin 'bitch... will save you. Hey, hey. Knight, you're here. I'm here to open the door. I brought some fresh water to turn off the lights."
I took out the sacred water bottle and shook it.
Are we afraid of this?
"It's too late."
However, Lace Queen did not see the Holy Water. I don't know what I'm looking at. Only voices will resonate. Speaking of which, there's no way to solve it.
"It's too late."
We will have to fight for as long as we get here.
"It's not too late, Samgya. We can work this out now. Problem is, after all. It solves it after a while. Disappear or disappear. That way, the problem is solved. So stop. Do no more harm to the living."
I told the evil spirit, but it didn't work. I don't even know if you're listening to me in the first place. She is now obsessed with her own grudge and is looking to the past.
"They all died in the fire."
End of the void murmur, Sarah.
Immediately, the appearance of the nun ghost begins to distort.
- Pats!!
The blue flame transformed into a flame that covered the basement, and the beautiful skin and body are swamped by a pile of ashes, revealing the burning bones. A charcoal mass far more deadly than a burnt explosion. The flesh falls and the bone is rattled.
A lace queen came to me who took off one of her eyelids and became a true demon.
"No one came to save me."
"Is that so?"
"The same goes for the knight."
I feel a fever.
"Hotter Lehu."
It opens the skin to the heat, but it can't be compared to the heat they felt.
"Numbers are filled. The knight is the last one."
"Numbers?"
"The numbers of our dead."
.. I see.
That's why we put people in the basement.
"You have to burn to death just like us."
The number of people who have lost their minds and collapsed in the basement.
They will probably match the number of women who were trapped there at the time the basement burned down. I must have filled that last number.
"I have to, but... I can only be saved."
It was a kind of ritual.
I have to call it self-honesty.
Race Queen intended to comfort her own soul by repeating the tragedy of that time and passing on her suffering to others. I was distracted by hatred and resentment.
You cannot be saved by other things.
It just falls into a bigger recession.
"No, that's not salvation."
Remove the bottle of holy water.
Then a glorious cluster of light emanates from the bottleneck and illuminates the basement. Spray it on the blade.
- Shh.
Shall the holy water evaporate in the heat?
How much damage can this do?
It's something I don't know.
"A path to greater sin."
I can't abandon my friends. Similarly, if I can't defeat it, I can't get out of the mansion either. Then we have to fight.
"I know your injustice well. However, if you do so. If you want to pass your pain on to others."
Raise the knife and aim for the lace queen.
"Will you not be like the warriors?"
Take a step and step out the cellar door. He intends to burn down the entire basement now. I can't back off.
To get out of here in the first place, you have to kill her who is blocking the passage.
"Wavarat!"
Then I'll never get away with it.
