Licking wounds

Retaliation was a childish voice. Fragment of the source. Baek Hyun swallows a dry needle and looks at the Black Rose Queen. Not too late, not too fast. You said you were here on time. Queen Black Rose said she would have shown what she didn't want to show if she had come immediately, but Baek Hyun convinced her that she was a visitor now in a different sense.

Baek Hyun now knows what that is. I also feel how horrible and unknown that is. Fragment of the source. What source? Nor is it worth water. All the newcomers who came to Abyss are greedy. What they lack and what they desire.

The source of chaos.

“It's unfortunate. ”

The Black Rose laughed and laughed. No one sympathizes with that laugh. The nightmare decision maker, who could not speak in awe, flew up slowly. I don't know what kind of suspicion it is, but the nightmare maker raises his arms and tries to touch the darkness.

It was that moment. Shanak, who was not moving as if nailed, moved in haste. He was an urgent expression that had never been made before. Shanak's hand grasps the doll's body, and the Black Rose moves her hand to prevent the nightmare maker from coming.

[...] Ah.]

A late awakened nightmare maker made a small sound.

[... this is one. This is the problem with wizards. I don't know what it is, but if you want to be curious, you can touch it somehow.]

Muttering, the nightmare maker shakes his head. Shanak bites his lower lip tightly and holds the sewing doll in his arms. The sewing doll said to Shanak without resisting.

[I surprised you. It's okay. It's just a touch of impulse. I'm not wrong.]

It was as if he was growing up in Shanak. It is completely different from the usual sewing doll that used to squirm out the Punsuki. Shanak nods slightly and releases the power of the arm holding the sewing doll.

[... you said you coveted the power that didn't fit in the bowl?]

“Yes, Eel. Shame on you. I coveted the power that I couldn't contain in my bowl, and it ended up like this. ”

[Don't talk too autonomously. I'm no different from you, but I just saw you before... After all, we have no choice in the face of desire.]

The nightmare maker replied with a bitter laugh.

[Especially the desire for rapidity is enormous. It was impossible to be like this, so I had to do it more.]

If it was a desire for a rapid existence, it could already be called a ruin. A ruin that can never be achieved if you try desperately. Most of the rapids in Abyss hold such a ruin and believe that the source of chaos will accomplish their ruin.

Of course, the source of chaos is not an unconditional answer.

[The source fragment has contaminated you. What is not corrupted is... ceras. Is it because you're the Demon King?]

The Black Rose nods slowly. The magic power and chaos of the Demons are not the same, but a Demon King of the Black Rose has some tolerance for the ominy of chaos.

The maid, who had closed her eyes without even seeing the owner, opened her eyes and approached the Black Rose Queen. The Queen, who had refused to let the maid come, no longer restrained her actions. The maid chewed her lower lip and dressed her naked.

“You are.”

Baek Hyun's mouth opened. The Black Rose Queen, who was chasing a cloak, looked at Baek Hyun.

“Did you find the source of the chaos? ”

The rapids entered Abyss and found the source of chaos. Half of them have been fighting with other rapids, while half have been using humans to this day. But the source of chaos has yet to be found.

“It's not me. ”

The Black Rose crosses her head. Then what is the source of the debris that is eating her body? Even before he urged an answer, the Black Rose said:

“Pure St.”

The name came out.

I also knew that there was something between Queen Black Rose and Pure St. A few raids from the Black Rose Queen saved her life with the help of Pure Saint, who appeared at a crucial moment. Yeon-ryun, the current commander, told me that the Battle Spirit had become close to Pure St., and that the Black Rose had not been raided as before.

“It was Pure St. that found the source of chaos. I don't know when she discovered the source of the chaos, but the timing of the discovery was of little importance to me at the time. ”

It's a story of the past.

“Pure Saint found the source of the chaos, but he was not handling it properly. She was a great speed, but the source of chaos was a dangerous force that she couldn't handle. ”

Five years in the water. It is a time that cannot be said that even empty words are long for the rapids who live in a time of terror. But even if you live an infinite amount of time, depending on what you're going through, you can feel as long as you've lived your whole life.

“I didn't really like Pure St. I couldn't even like it because I was being hypocritical and trying to stand in my way. ”

“... are you talking about armed forces? ”

The Black Rose nods as she asks again. The black rose queen's eyes were still full of repentance, but Baek Hyun could feel the same brutality in the depths of her eyes.

“I first saw him at Abyss, but I knew the moment I encountered him. who created that crude rapidity. ”

“Drink?”

“You don't know, but Marcin is actively invading the other dimension and increasing its territory. I mean invasion, but not every time you lead an army and conquer a dimension. ”

War requires a lot of preparation. It is not difficult to build an army with good demons, but the problem is to create a passageway that leads to the dimension you want to attack in the machete. Though Machine is great, it's not as easy as that.

However, invasion does not start with dragging an army in front of you every time.

“Drinks used to say," The seeds of the helpless. "”

When you are in a position called the King of Cannabis, you know many things. Planting ‘seeds’ was much easier than preparing for war. There is an unmatched existence in any world compared to its ambitions. Those who, for the sake of that ambition, know how to break moral standards and who are least qualified to be the 'foundation'. Hundreds of thousands of lives are spent in the process of consciousness, and seeds are planted.

“Even if you don't use it right now, the seeds can be harvested one day by planting them.... so I tried to kill him. Because the smell of the drink was shaking in the spirit. ”

“But you didn't kill him. ”

Baek Hyun looked through the Black Rose Queen. It was twice that she raided the armed forces. After that, there would have been as many opportunities.

“... the second raid. ”

The Black Rose slowly closed her eyes.

“Even then, I was able to kill the spirit, but I missed it because of the Pure St. 's disturbance. At the time, I was very, very angry. ”

Of course it was anger. Not once, not twice.

“We must not kill each other. If we understand each other, no one will die and everyone will achieve what they want... I have decided to kill Pure Saint, who speaks in front of me like that. ”

I didn't kill him.

[... really?]

The decision maker of the nightmare asked in a frightening voice. The same surprised Baek Hyun. The Black Rose nods with a bitter smile.

“I said I'd kill you, and I acted like that. At the time... I didn't make fun of Pure St. Because when we first intercepted the assassination attempt, the power of Pure St. was never negligible. But I thought I wasn't ignoring Pure Saint, but her power surpassed my imagination. ”

It was a quiet fight.

A fight no one knew about.

“No one was watching this fight. ”

The fight, which took place quietly, ended quietly, just as it did.

“I think so. I don't know if what I went through was Pure St. 's power, but... Huhu, it was too easy to lose. When I woke up, half of my body was dead and I barely woke up and looked up at the sky. ”

Purest didn't kill the Black Rose Queen.

That's how I hung up on hypocrisy.

“I remember the mercy I bestowed, and I said, 'Be merciful.' ”

It was a terrible humiliation. The Black Rose Queen, the cannabis king in the machete's hands. Even though he took possession of the territory and flowed into Abyss, the power he had as King of Cannabis did not diminish. However, the myth of not knowing where it came from and not being widely known has defeated the Black Rose Queen immensely.

“... since then I have stopped raiding the armed forces. because I understand that I can't kill an armed man who is protected by Pure St. ”

It is also humiliating for the Black Rose Queen. If you think rationally, it's best not to fight a fight you can't win. But the arrogance of the creed, which has been honored, sometimes precedes pride rather than reason.

The Black Rose has broken her pride. It was because of the house that the source of chaos had to come first.

“... have you fought the Dragon King? ”

After recalling the image of Pure St. for a while, Baek Hyun asked the Black Rose Queen about the Dragon King. At that words, the Black Rose shook her head.

“No. I knew she had dangerous powers, but I didn't have to fight. She was also an enemy she didn't want to face. ”

“Pure St. and the Dragon King, which one of you think is stronger? ”

The strongest thing Baek Hyun had ever experienced was the Dragon King, and the opinions of the others were the same. Since she had fought directly with the Dragon King before, she was the most accurate pineapple for Baek Hyun.

“I've never experienced the power of the Dragon King, so it's hard to compare. But...”

The Black Rose pondered for a while.

“I think the nature is different... The power of Pure St. is completely different from the destructive power of the Dragon King. It was a force that seemed obscene, evil, ominous... to embrace that kind of word all the time. ”

Baek Hyun doesn't know what Pure St. 's power is. All he saw was the dazzling light emitted by the Apostle Drave. It was the light that seemed to put the word "sacred" in reality. It made me feel so distressed to be so ideal, like the purest form and sanctuary of heaven.

“After a few years. Abyss' rapids didn't fight as violently as they used to. Every time we had a fight, there was chaos, and we all understood that the causal rate of rapid strikes was not sure when the storm was going to hit. ”

There was no brawl, but the search did not stop. The rapids were still wandering around the vast Abyss, exploring the source of chaos.

“... I've met with Pure St. a few more times. ”

It was a one-sided visit.

“Pure Saint came alone in front of my camp, and did nothing. I just looked at this castle. When it was repeated several times, I opened the glottis and confronted her. And I asked.”

What are you doing here?

“He gave me a pretty good answer. That's how beautiful the castle is. I've heard it a few times in the macaroons. ”

The Black Rose shed a heartless laugh.

“By the way. I've heard that a few times, and it sounded pretty good. All those who praised the beauty of my castle were on the horizon. Abyss had Eel... but her compliments were familiar to me. ”

It's nothing. I also heard too much. However, it was also a pleasure and a longing.

“It was so beautiful that I couldn't fit into this chaotic world, I kept watching. That's what Purest said. With the same face as when you defeated me. ”

The Black Rose was well aware of her position.

She is a body banished from the horse-drawn world. It was a horse that ran out on its own, but it could never go back, so it was like being banished. If she had remained in the stable after losing all her territory, she would have been exhausted and collapsed after suppressing the other Demon Kings who came after Hositam.

It was in the past that she was called the Queen of Black Roses and enjoyed the glory of the King of Cannabis. The praise of those who visited her castle was due to the beauty of Rosedam and the authority of the Black Rose Queen. The nightmare decision-maker, who had long been in contact with the Black Rose Queen, would still praise Rose Dum as beautiful, but there was no one to tell her that this castle was beautiful except for the nightmare decision-maker.

“... I invited her to the castle. ”

I thought I'd say no.

It is very dangerous to enter another sanctuary. Even the Heavenly Zone, which had nothing to do with Hajal, defeated the Blood Lion in its sanctuary, and the armed forces also risked their lives in Abyss, where they were quarrelling about fleeing to the sanctuary.

It is not surprising that the Pure Saint and the Black Rose had a friendly relationship as usual. The Black Rose was defeated by Pure Saint, and did not forget her humiliation.

“Pure Saint didn't decline my invitation. He smiled joyfully, and he asked me if I could go in right now. ”

That was his confidence in his power. No, it's foolish arrogance. No matter how strong you are, fighting in the sanctuary of the other rapids gives the opponent a lot of advantages and starts.

“We walked through the garden together. I told you a fascinating story. It wasn't about getting to know each other. It was just a talk of sharing over time. ”

This was not the case from the beginning. The Black Rose asked how many times she talked about Pure Saint's origins, but each time, Pure Saint profoundly changed the subject.

“She said about her ideals. I don't want anyone to die, I want everyone to get what they want. The source of the chaos has yet to be discovered, but if he finds it, all the rapids who came to Abyss will find a way to achieve it. ”

I thought he was a hypocrite.

“She seemed to know what I was thirsty for. I was... tired. And I still regretted a lot back then. I have regrets differently than I do now. ”

“... have you challenged the Mashin? ”

“I wish I could call that a challenge. ”

The Black Rose made a bitter laugh. The Duke said the Black Rose challenged Masin and lost everything. But the truth seemed a little different from what Queen Black Rose said.

“She was good at licking wounds. ”

The hand of the Black Rose grabbed the bedside.

“I was good at saying consolation and planting hope. ”

Plunging Pure St. out of the gates.

The Black Rose could feel that she was not as hated as she used to be.

“From then on, I waited in secret for Pure Saint to come. I had no pleasant narrative to share with her, and Pure St enjoyed speaking of an ideal peace theory rather than telling her own story. Pure Saint didn't ask me why I came to Abyss, and the questions I asked were always filled with laughter. In fact, it wasn't that much fun to talk to her, and they weren't fun storytellers. ”

But he was remarkably good at licking wounds.

“Pure St visited Rossdam a few more times, walked with me into the garden, drank tea, and talked. The old ideology. The country asked little about its existence. Even what I'm trying to accomplish by taking the source of chaos. ”

That was convenient.

“I was comfortable talking about small, funny stories. I didn't feel like a peripheral pleasure, but I felt like I had some time to fit in. It's been a long time since I've had that kind of time. ”

[This is jealous.]

The nightmare maker murmured.

[Serras. You didn't tell me a single story about Pure St.]

“You didn't tell me everything either, did you? ”

The nightmare maker shrugs without saying a word.

The serpent of regeneration said about the relationship between the nightmare maker and the Black Rose Queen:

The reason the nightmare maker came to Abyss seems to be related to the Black Rose Queen.

Rather than helping the Black Rose Queen, she seems to be watching her.

“Myrrh is a secret delight that is not seen by anyone. It was a stimulating fun that was different from the spare time of Titan. Because I knew you were watching me, I met with Pure St. in more secret. ”

[... I feel a little bad about watching, but it's not very wrong. But, Serras. I would have known that I was watching Pure St. I've never seen her watch Rose Dum.]

The nightmare maker murmured.

[So, when is the devastation of this story?]

The Nightmare Crystal stared at the Black Rose Queen and asked.

[When did Pure Saint betray you?]

Queen Black Rose's purchase was twisted.

[When did her mask crumble and become ugly?]

The spiny vine wrapped around the black rose queen's forearm twitches.
