00924 A Poisoned Chalice, Two.

< Reminiscence >

I brightened the shade of light bursting out of the silence somewhere.

Three meters tall, about a meter in diameter. Light clusters produced in a slightly elongated, rounded shape have a light blue glow. The calm sea color makes me feel cool just looking at it.

Then, the whole round surface emits a bright light over time. Then, it rumbled lightly for three or four times, and a thin calf pierced through the light.

Tight thighs, fine waist like a twirl, tall breasts, long pointy ears.... The woman who soon came through the portal was as beautiful as the fairy that appeared in the novel.

After a while, the woman walks around slowly looking at the scenery. However, I stopped shortly. It's because an old man stood with his head bowed in the direction he was going. It's like I've been waiting.

“You've finally returned. My Lord.”

Then the woman who stared at her mouth, Satan.... No, Erwin smiles silently. It was a pretty smile, but it had a creepy look that couldn't be hidden on the one hand.

“You put Olivia on the run. Thanks to you, I was able to comfortably come from Ragnarok. Well done, Melinus. ”

“This is something that anyone could have thought of. Rather, Savannah.... No, Olivia struggled. ”

Melinus humbly replies, saying something odd. Erwin laughs straightaway. And as she quickly passed by, Melinus quickly lifted her head and followed behind.

Satan and Belial.

It was really a long reunion, but their attitude was unbearable. To be precise, the lines are clearly drawn.

That's how demons work. Even though the Lord can overlook his subordinates, he doesn't like to hug each other and repent.

Shortly after, Erwin and Melinus enter the clearing.

“That's lame.”

At Erwin's words, Melinus bows her head again.

“Song-gu. The aftermath of the defeat is still.... ”

“What about the Mages?”

“... Baal and Belzebub's family are completely extinct. ”

“Baal, Belzebub.... ”

Erwin's straight forehead is creased. In other words, Melinus means that all the Horse Warriors who tried so hard to summon the high sacrifice are gone.

I can't help it. The reason why the Horsemen were called creatures in the first place is because they were derived from the devil. In other words, it was natural for the creature to disappear because the creator was extinct. That's why Kim Soo-hyun tried to use chi to catch the Great Devil.

But Erwin frowned at Ami for a slightly different reason.

“That's odd. I hear Lucifer's been arrested, too. Are you telling me there's still a corrupt angel in there? ”

“Most of them are gone. But there are some speeds that survive. Just ten more. ”

“Ten left.... So we're almost at the edge of extinction, but we're still alive. ”

“ ……. ”

Melinus suddenly closes her mouth. It's not that I have no idea, but it's because I didn't think it was something to say.

“Hmmm... ”

After a long, non-smoky breath, Erwin,

“There you go. How's everything else going?" Five months ought to do it. ”

Suddenly, I turned to talk. The voice is similar to the one before, but there is also a mixture of slightly condemning pitches. Melinus quickly opens her mouth.

“If you're referring to that place, the pioneering steps are complete. Users, rely on residents to regain their strength and move to nearby Ragnarok. And right away.”

“Conclusion only. What happened to the portal? ”

“Likewise. Successfully acquired a large number of Memorial Stones on the Eastern Continent, now within 15 kilometers of the law. ”

“Melinus, we have a lot to talk about today. Not like you.”

At the same time as the cool voice, Erwin's eyes narrowed. Melinus swallows her thirsty saliva twice. It's because I was stabbed.

“Say it again. Why am I not in the middle of the continent? Why are you still here? ”

“ ……. ”

“We have a problem. ”

“ ……. ”

Melinus, who was always silent, eventually nods cautiously.

“Actually... Eldora has to lead the southern continent... ”

Melinus paces quietly.

After a short period of time, Erwin's eyes tilt back and forth. In the two directions, the blonde woman sat alone, helpless. Moreover, I feel like I'm stumbling down my head to see the lungs who have lost the meaning of life.

“What's wrong with him? ”

“He's been dead since he came back from the power of Tanatos. The impact of losing the war seems to be considerable. ”

“Excuse me?”

“Actually, I don't understand, but if you think about it in that man's position, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. because after all this time, I just kept running, and I met the first wall that I couldn't cross. ”

“ ……. ”

“Of course, that's not all. Excalibur was taken away, Kim Soo-hyun was treated as a toy, and the sadness of losing a colleague... Well, a lot better than the first time. ”

Erwin kicks his tongue with his mouth. And I looked at him for a long time, and I smoothed his throat and moved on. Even though they were so close to each other that they could barely reach each other, Eldora could not see the rhythm.

“Eldora.”

However, the moment I heard a fine aesthetic, Eldora's shoulders shrunk.

“Eldora, it's me. ”

Once more, the stiff body starts to slow down.

Eldora's tough head was no better than the homeless. Her fine blonde hair looked heavily bleached because she couldn't lose her light, and there were stains all over her face.

Above all, the pair of blurry eyes doubted whether Eldora was right, shining her confidence on the terrace of the old blue palace.

“Eh…. Erwin...?”

I also rested my voice a lot.

After a while, I saw Erwin with a soft smile, and a little light flashed in his helpless eyes.

“Erwin...? ”

“Yes, Eldora. ”

“Eh…. Er... Er... Erwin...!"

“Yes, Eldora. Yes..."

Erwin graciously hugged the same girl as the child looking for her mother. Then the black water slowly broke in Eldora's eyes. Conventionally, she burst into tears with a stream of black liquid.

“Ugh... Ahhhh..."

“Eldora, don't cry. ”

“Because of me.... If it wasn't for me.... ”

“No, I heard it all. It's not Eldora's fault, ever. ”

How long has it been?

When Erwin was silenced for a long time and his tears filled with tears. Eldora, in her arms, suddenly looks up at Erwin with a dazed face.

“But…. How...?"

“I heard Eldora was having a hard time. ”

Erwin sweeps away Eldora's dirty blonde hair.

“I've come with fairies. I'm sorry I'm so late. ”

“Nymph...? ”

I heard you brought the soldiers. The look on Eldora's face was never hopeful. Rather than rejoicing, there is a powerful feeling of fear and horror.

‘Was it this bad? ’

Erwin notices the light and gives you a voice.

“Eldora?”

“ ……? ”

“Do you want to give up Eldora and go back? ”

“That's...! ”

At that moment,

“No!”

My voice grew louder for the first time. A fierce and poisonous malice that had never been seen before struck me with wide-eyed eyes. I screamed for a moment, but at least I mean it.

It's just, I don't have the strength. I wanted to avenge my colleague who died right away if I could.

... Yes. If I could.

“No... No..."

As soon as Eldora's face regained with her fearful instinct and her wanting revenge,

“Then why did Eldora start this war? ”

A sudden question came up.

“Why risk countless oppositions and think against the angels? ”

Erwin gave me another hint.

“Why?”

Eldora follows her horse like a parrot.

“Why…. Why…."

And then the job starts to happen again.

“For the human.... ”

That's right. That's the only thing holding Eldora together. Reasonable Belief to Establish Autonomy Outside the Puppet of Angels. It was also a god-awful self-rationalization, but I didn't even think about it at the moment.

Erwin doesn't miss a word.

“Yes, Eldora. It's not over yet. ”

In saying that, I looked back slowly, lifting my eyes to the meaning of Eldo.

There were a number of creatures nearby, who were watching Eldora with anxious glances. I saw a familiar colleague who had never seen him before. Even the devil looking at me with his arms crossed, there is a fairy who looks at me with an awkward face.

Eldora takes a deep breath without even knowing it.

“There are people who still believe in you, who support you like this, right? ”

Erwin whispers in his trembling ear.

It was that moment.

Eldora's eyes, which seemed to be full of fog, suddenly lit up. Then, within a second, the lifeless gaze turned completely out like a lamp in front of the wind. It settles into a dark sea and is colored black in a flash.

“I…. ”

At the same time, a black spot appeared on Eldora's neck briefly and disappeared, but it was literally a fleeting moment, so most people did not see it.

“I…! ”

And...

“Hehe? ”

Tanatos, who lies prone to the branches and watches the situation, echoes a small elasticity. You stumble up and look up at Eldora, raising your hand. On the back of his hand, the same spot that just appeared on Eldora's neck was emitting the light of John.

Tanatos smiles with an interesting look at the black mark.

“I won. Awakening is so late. ”

Meanwhile, the same time.

“Huh?"

Kim Soo-hyun, who had just left the Iron Blood Forest, suddenly stopped walking. He raises the Excalibur with a curious face, and he even taps and twists.

“Huh…. What is it?”

“Brother? What's the matter? ”

“I feel like something just snapped.... What? Suddenly the reaction is gone. ”

“? ”

Ansol asks with a slight question, but Kim Soo-hyun mutters to himself and touches Excalibur.

But do you think they're still on the march?

“No, no. ”

After putting the knife back in, you sigh and resume the march.
