Chapter 460 – Kim Katt and the Haunted House

ㅡ Kikkiik.

Open the door to the basement and enter.

The cellar, with its deadly blue light, was quite large, but it had the only entrance. The walls are black. They were all burnt marks, and there were palm prints everywhere.

“The inferno I saw earlier.”

Could it have been their hands her?

The grudge of the banshees who were locked in the basement and burned to death.

Even the moment they died, they knocked on the walls and doors of the basement. These were the infernos I had seen earlier.

As I looked around with that thought in mind, I soon found the shape of a person.

“This?”

They are completely charcoaled bone fragments.

A lot of numbers.

It must be the same as the number of banshees that are rampant in the mansion. They asked me to take care of these remains. In return for the deal, he opened the way to the basement of the mansion, which became a maze in the barrier and could not find the way.

To be honest, there was nothing to gain.

It was just an opportunity to rectify the accident.

But now I’ll have to do that too.

Anyway, these remains… Ah!

“Oh, fuck!”

For a moment, I had an ominous thought and ran through the space. The fact that there are burnt bodies here… Maybe even my friends!

“Copson! Meria! It’s Lina!!!”

Hopefully these bastards aren’t already dead!

Banshee told me to get down before it’s too late!

ㅡTuk.

In an instant, I saw Copson lying in front of me. Startled, I quickly threw myself at him.

“Oh fuck! Hey! Wake up!”

No way this kid!

I immediately decided to check whether Copson was alive or not.

“Fuck you! Wake up!”

ㅡWow!

I immediately slapped him on the cheek.

There was no reaction.

“What the fuck…! Could it be that he died!”

I don’t know what to do if Copson gets killed here. Startled again, I removed my gauntlet and poked my finger into his neck his to check his pulse his.

ㅡThin.

ㅡThin.

ㅡThin.

Fortunately, his heart was beating and his breathing was normal. He was just lying there, unconscious. It seems he is still alive.

“Ha ha, fuck.”

I was finally relieved.

Meria and Lina were lying next to him.

They also checked whether they survived. Check breathing and pulse. All alive I just lay down with my eyes closed as if I was asleep.

It seems that the ghosts did not take away their souls.

I think the demons moved the kids to the basement… Why the hell did they do that? I remembered the banshee saying ‘the she of her manor will soon number her’.

I don’t know what will happen if I count the numbers, but whatever it is, except for the banshee who asked me earlier, the purpose of the other demons is obviously to take people’s lives.

They are aiming for the lives of the living as if they were dead.

“These guys…”

But why aren’t you waking up?

I grabbed them, shook them, and slapped them on the cheek, but nothing happened.

I tried pouring water from a canteen on Copson’s forehead and between his eyes his, but there was no reaction, just breathing. He’s completely turned into a sleeping princess.

Is it because of the magic of the mansion?

I don’t know, but for now, just being alive is enough. I want to know what the fuck this is. I’m not even going to be able to seek help from these pups, so things are going to get trickier.

Now let’s move these guys outside.

“Uh.”

As I tried to pick up the Copson, more things caught my eye.

“…”

Copson and Meria. And it wasn’t just Lina.

—-Adventurers.

There were people in all sorts of costumes strewn about the basement. They, too, are lying dead like Copson. A cursory check of the guys in the foreground revealed that some of them were seriously skinny, but they seemed to be alive.

Could it be that these are all missing persons?

Could it be the adventurers who headed to the mansion and the people who were said to have gone missing in a nearby village?

I remember that it’s been a while. If you’ve been lying here since then, there’s a good chance you’ve suffered from severe malnutrition.

Well, my friends are more important than these guys.

Let’s move my friends outside. Perhaps the demons intend to kill the people in the basement en masse.

I think I’ll have to find a way after moving it to a safe place… It’s very tricky. No matter how much I say, I can’t fight while protecting the three who have lost their minds.

This seed.

I thought I would be able to do something if I got together with the kids and fought, but it’s actually like this. You have to find a way.

ㅡuhhhhh! Whoa…! Ah, where are you… Driver. Whoops!

Just then, the cry was heard again.

The nun ghost, the owner of the mansion.

—-The race queen.

The plaintive cries from outside the cellar were getting closer and closer.

Are you thinking of going to the basement?

You have to make a decision.

ㅡHuh…! Whoa! Whoops! Why, why don’t you save me… Knight! Please please please… Whoops!

I have only two bottles of holy water.

I don’t know if I can defeat that mighty ghost with that. Unlike the power I possess, I do not know the exact power of the holy water. So it is left as a last resort.

And now is probably the final moment.

I approached the door.

—-Knight…! Knight! Did you come! I’ve been waiting…! Whoops! You came down to the basement to rescue me!

The structure at the entrance to the cellar had already been changed.

It’s a different landscape than when I came in.

What stretched out in front of him was a straight passage made of cold stone. On the other side of the aisle, a race queen emitting blue light was slowly flying toward this place while floating in the air.

ㅡhuh! Finally, finally, finally. Finally…!

As she sobbed, her tears flowed.

Tears fell to the floor and freeze. Ice picks like thorns rise from the frozen floor.

It was the manifestation of grudge with a terrible chill.

“Okay.”

I answered with my sword drawn.

“I am the knight who came to rescue you guys.”

Doctrine of Fusion Confucianism. Salvation comes soon. The rescue will come soon. The dead must not interfere with the living. Making her become a Buddha would be her only salvation of her.

“Prepare to be saved.”

The old grudge must end here.

Already, the people of this world will not be the ones for whom she will cry out for her revenge. Only they remain fixed, wandering the nine heavens unable to resolve their grudge.

“Is it done?”

She tells her what she would most like to hear.

“Ah, ah…! Aaaaa!!!”

When I said that, the race queen sobbed and shouted as if moved.

“I’ve waited! I’ve waited, I’ve waited, I’ve waited, I’ve waited!!! I’ve been waiting…

The emotion on his face brightened her as if he had received a revelation from God. The tears that flowed did not freeze. Even the floor, which was already frozen, melted.

“It was too hot. They insulted us, locked us in the basement and set it on fire.”

The sobbing race queen started shouting gibberish.

It was a complaint.

The first complaint in a mansion where there was no one to listen to. I quietly listened to her while holding her knife to her.

“No one came to rescue me. No one opened the door. We just, just held each other’s hands…!”

Cry out in pain

She wasn’t looking at the time of reality now. The burning eyes of her were facing the horrors of the past.

“Screaming in pain… Losing consciousness one by one… Ahh!!! It was hot! It was so hot! It was hot!!! Why! Why!! Why why! We didn’t do that!! ! ! Why!!!”

Inhuman cries.

I too could sympathize with the Banshees by showing them the truth of the mansion. Terrible violence wielded by innocent women. She is a living witness of the horrors.

The screams continue.

“Huhhhhh…! It’s hot… It’s hot… It hurts, it hurts… Hhhhh! Hhhhh! It hurts so much… Hhhhh! No one’s coming to help. So, so…”

Tears flow endlessly from the hands of the race queen, who covers her face with her hands.

“All of you too.”

Eventually, when the tears stopped.

She raised her face abruptly, staring at me and speaking coldly.

“You must burn to death.”

Screams turn into curses.

The race queen stared at my face, her tears stopping, and there was thick hatred in her eyes. Did she say that if a woman harbors resentment, she will be frosty even in May.

ㅡHwaaaaak!

At the same time, a blue flame burns behind her.

Isn’t it more like fire than frost?

In the end it turned out like this. Her sadness and resentment her accumulated and merged and transformed into hatred. This is the essence of being an evil spirit. No compromise.

“Hey, hey. Hey, hey. The driver came. He came to open the door. I brought fresh water to put out the fire.”

I subtly took out a bottle of holy water and shook it.

Are you afraid of this?

“It’s too late.”

But the race queen did not see the holy water. I don’t know what you’re looking at Only empty voices resound. There is no such thing as a problem that can be solved with words.

“It’s too late now.”

Since we came this far, we will have to fight.

“It’s not too late, old man. You can solve it even now. That’s what problems are after all. Time will solve them. Whether they disappear or disappear. Even in that way, problems will be solved. So stop. For the sake of the living anymore. Do no harm.”

I said so, but the words did not work for the evil spirit. Maybe you’re listening to me in the first place. She is now obsessed with her own grudge her and looking at her past her.

“They were all burned to death.”

At the end of the empty muttering—-disappear.

At that moment, the appearance of the nun ghost begins to distort.

ㅡParts Tsutsut!!

The blue flames are transformed into red flames that have covered the cellar, and beautiful skin and flesh are engulfed in black ashes, revealing charred bones. A lump of charcoal that is blacker than burned-out grains. The flesh falls off and the bones rattle.

The race queen who took off one layer and became a true demon approached me.

“No one came to rescue me.”
“Is it.”
“The same goes for the knight.”

I am feeling the heat.

“Lehu getting hotter.”

It’s hot enough to burn your skin, but it can’t compare to the heat they felt.

“The number is filled. The knight is the last one.”
“Number?”
“The number of us dead.”

…Right.

Was that the reason why people were gathered in the basement?

“You must burn to death just like us.”

The number of people lying unconscious in the basement.

They probably match the number of women trapped in the cellar at the time it burned. I must have filled in the last number.

“Only then, only then… Only then can I be saved.”

It was a kind of ritual.

Should I say self-requited soul?

The Race Queen intended to console her own soul by repeating her then misery and passing her pain on to others. Her thoughts of her were twisted by hatred and resentment.

She cannot be saved by anything like that.

It just falls into a bigger pit.

“No. That’s not salvation.”

Open a bottle of holy water

Then, a brilliant beam of light emanates from the bottle’s spout, lighting up the cellar. She sprinkles it on the blade.

—Challer.

Will the holy water evaporate from the heat?

How much damage can this do?

I don’t know.

“It’s a way down to a greater sin.”

She can’t abandon her friends her. Likewise, if I can’t defeat that thing, I can’t get out of the mansion either. Then you’ll have to fight

“I know your grievances. But, if you do. If you want to pass your pain on to others.”

Raise your sword and aim at the race queen.

“So you guys are not the same as those warriors.”

Taking her steps, she slips out of the basement door. He intends to burn down the entire basement. He can’t back down.

In the first place, he has to kill her blocking her passage her to get out of here.

“Wabarat!”

If so, I, the Heavenly Demon, Kim Katt, will never run away.
