The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# shaded parchment (11)

Winds surged from the front door of the smashed church. The sound of abandoned grains of sand hitting the ground. Even Esther's gasping wounds are covered with dry dust. As a result of the accumulated damage, fractured bones and severed ligaments. Now she can't get up on two legs.

I just fell.

The temple of false faith was stained with contaminated blood. At this point, the fanatics who were eager became scattered remains in the air. Torn intestines radiate like nightmares in the middle of the day. Along with Esther's shotgun blast, the suffocating cries were the chorus of dissonance dedicated to death.

During this time, Park Tae-sun under the cross survived. Thanks to a nearby god who threw himself away. If there is a separate space inside, I try to avoid the body as if jumping. After that, the trajectory in pursuit shifts into chaos. Esther twists her arm nervously. Even at this moment when winter's sniper bullets explode from wound to wound, they are still vicious.

“Get off! Get off! ”

The congregation struggling with the heavy machine gun throws up blood and rolls around. The pain would have been short. His neck snapped as he hit the ground. His hand was blistered.

Bang, bang! Esther crawls to her knees and pushes herself with both arms. Towards the hidden false Savior. There are no more weaknesses to target from behind. The winter after the shooting stops, the gunpowder grinds and runs. A puddle of wet blood.

‘With this much bleeding, no matter how special it is...! ’

It can't be normal.

Esther's movements were still wasteful. It moves with the injured body, the poison. After clearing the gap, the winter shoved grenades under Esther's body and stepped on her ankles.

“Ahhhh!”

A monster girl screaming in agony. But peach bones were crushed by the foot of a fully armed soldier. No matter how thick it hurts. A piece of bone is digging through the flesh.

So the girl passes underneath the boat and misses the grenade that rolled into the snow. Winter hangs on her back. There's a lot of cracked yo-yeol in deformed muscles, like climbing a rock wall.

The swollen body, its back, was also square to Esther herself.

With the thunder, your vision flashes.

Winter felt like the world was shaking. The screams of the girl who had become a monster were no longer even a sound. The radio cried like crazy.

Don't miss out. Before Esther regained consciousness and reacted, she had to fulfill her purpose before she threw herself out of winter. One spine, buried in a twitching bend. Winter put a small base of the sniper rifle between the bulky muscles. A hunter on a giant beast stabbing an animal with a spear. Punch the skull with your fist, making the gun squeeze in as hard as possible. And I put my thumb on the trigger.

Puang!

At some point, you shoot a hidden weakness at an angle close to the vertical angle. Dark red blood splashes across the winter's protective mask. Immediately after, Esther charged into the pillar. The bounced winter rolled around without a care. Impact unprepared for drop. I can't breathe. I couldn't move for a while.

But it was better. The church was a spectacular wooden structure, and a part of the roof on the broken column collapsed. If he had been hit by a spilling frostbite, he would have been severely injured.

“Chuuungryong!”

The barely harvested winter sees a hand surging through the grave-like debris. Pale arms had two elbows. In the dusty interior, the sunlight leaking from the pierced roof was strangely clear. Especially since the church was cut off by electricity. With that light, Esther trembles ferociously.

“That's it! He wants to die! Kill him! I'll give you some! ”

A furious charge follows. But slower than strength. ⁄ Fishing barely touched the protective clothing. Winter dodged and saw her lower half. Stretchy, stretchy look. I can't even base on my knees anymore. Paralysis due to spinal rupture.

Winter hangs on your shoulders and aims at the rifle that hangs at your side. Ta-da! I pulled the trigger with a grass auto, but there were only two shells protruding from the medicine cabin.

“Oh, dear."

It was a malfunction. The magazine is deformed.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh! ”

The crying Esther closes her eyes. Loss of sight when a grenade goes off. Blood flows down the closed eyelid. Nevertheless, the swinging arm is not a blind attack. Because I still have radio vision even if I don't have an eye. It was a vision beyond sight.

But agility can no longer keep up with the winter. Winter shredded the magazine, clearing the distance from the attack. Aim for the wounds that will stop the bleeding. I can't help it if it's cruel. We have to force the bleeding until it stops moving, which will lead to a mild end.

'It's just a possibility. ’

A thin, bloodstain protrudes from the monster girl's body. However, it appeared to be thin compared to the giant, but it was actually quite bleeding. Especially considering all the blood I lost coming all this way. The knee of the fallen winter falls into the blood half a finger deep. All the churches were bloody.

“Yes! Well done! Kill! Kill! Kill that son of a bitch! ”

A fanatic who had survived until now cheered for winter.

The furious Esther flips the heap on the roof roughly. I was looking for a buried heavy machine gun. It was only a matter of time before the white dust-covered heavy machine gun saw the sunlight again.

“Ahhhh!”

Screaming, Esther unleashes deadly firepower.

But winter was not frozen. Reason for detecting an overhead trajectory. He shoots back and doubts. Something's wrong. No matter how tired Esther is, it was a blatantly missed attack a little while ago.

‘That said, there have been too few casualties so far. ’

Should I just say I was lucky?

Again, the diagonal prediction of survival was drawn. Injury if not avoided. Lose a leg. But Esther could have desired the heart of winter enough. Winter rolled over, but did not hold the suspicion for long. It was because the monster girl turned away again. She pours all the remaining ammunition into the place where Pastor Park Tae-sun might be. Sometimes a volatile gunshot, but nevertheless devastating. The wall crumbles. Esther ignored the interruption of winter. Even though it was just a wooden tree, the interior of the church turned into a splendid waste in an instant.

Then the void rang out loud.

The other heavy machine gun was dug from the wreckage. A weapon that openly bites an elongated kinetic belt, it was inevitable that a malfunction would occur at the point of impact on the collapsed roof.

She starts crawling towards the cross. Like burning the last moments of your life.

The end came out of nowhere. Like the beginning of this.

Boom, boom!

Violence brutally beats the whole Winter Body. I was about to run out to stop Esther somehow, and a flash flew from the front door. Your vision is clouded. You are stunned for a moment. Though thought may continue, I do not feel the senses of the flesh. Literally, there were only a few accidents left.

Probably a cannon. A few moments later, when winter regained control of the body, the pain set to be just like physical reality, there was a medic who appeared to be blinking in front of his eyes. He asked with a strong worry.

“Sir! Are you awake? ”

“N-never mind…… ”

I was just about to be transported to a stretcher when I stood up with my torso staggered. Protective custody is stripped. The blasted shield, it seems, is no longer meaningful.

My whole body aches like a bruise, but there's no bleeding anywhere. For now.

“Huh? Don't move! ”

The medic withdrew, but winter shifted away.

“It's really okay. Wait here."

The field of view was about half a turn. However, after stumbling once, I was able to center. Winter, when you press your sore side and know the situation. The reinforcement seems to have arrived a little early. You hear engine noise outside the gate. It's the armored car that fired the cannon. A chariot or an armored car.

It may have been a portable anti-tank, but it didn't matter now.

Under the silver cross, you see Esther fallen in blood.

The ribs repeat regular expansion and contraction. The sniper's rifle is still tight on your back, and it rises and falls slightly upon your breathing cycle. The pulse of the blood vessels was also noticeable. The lower half, which had become impossible, is now unclear even to the form. A deep scar on the floor behind it indirectly shows the power of the explosion. Blood is leaking constantly.

Winter approaches, and the soldiers guarding Esther are bewildered and prevented.

“Dangerous. The beast is still alive."

“Get out of my way."

It was irrational annoyance. It wasn't their responsibility to screw things up. To the soldiers who stepped back to the violent "Threat," they apologized with a voice that softened the winter.

“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be mad.... It'll only take a minute. It'll be fine. ”

I didn't understand enough, but I was a gangster. Just watching the winter pass, the soldiers look troubled. One of them ran somewhere. Due to the extreme noise coming from the radio, it seemed to have been delayed by a radio blockade. So if you want to report it to the director, you have to sell the item.

Xxxxxx

As we get closer, Esther's heavy breathing grows louder. Winter knelt on one knee beside her head. And I looked down quietly. Surprisingly peaceful face of Esther.

I was drawn here, but I didn't have anything to say. Therefore, Esther opened the words first. It sounded like a voice without a partner.

“Are you Commander Ha Ahn Winter...? ”

“Yes, it's me. ”

“ ……. ”

A limping, deformed hand twitches. Enemies soaring behind your back. Winter raises her hand. It was a sign not to shoot. At a glance, there were more than a couple of shotguns.

“Dard, you must be surprised. ”

Esther mutters depressingly. Even after this, only radio reflection seems to be intact.

“I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it... ”

When she sighed, she suddenly recited a verse of the Bible.

“The one who is in wisdom will shine like the light of the expanse, and the one who brings many to righteousness, like the stars, will shine for ever and ever..." Danish, 12 Zaan, 3 Journal... ”

“ ……. ”

It was the preaching of faith that brought many back to the right place. Esther with a painful smile.

“Commander. I knew I'd be a star, Jegaa. In a high, high, God, country.... And yet, I am, not at all, shiny. ”

The girl who became a monster's greatest pain was the loss of stars. I'm not a monster myself.
