Chapter 127 – Episode 127- The Female Secretary Took Down the Steps

‘Watch the grid. That is your mission.’

Long before the formation of the pirate fleet 〈 The Queens 〉.
The days when Atria was still just a handmaid.
The lord gave orders to Atria.

‘Report the guy’s every move to me.’

At first glance, you might think that he ordered his son to be watched because he was so lovable that he was worried that someone might harm him.
It can be seen that excessive love has turned into a poison called surveillance.
Because there are parents who actually choke their children in the name of loving them.

However, the lord did not give the order to watch with such a mind.

‘Keep a close eye on him so he doesn’t leave the island. Stop them from going to the mother.’

There is one reason why the lord watches the grid.

Because it is useful
Because she can use it as a tool to achieve her own ambitions.
It is unacceptable for such a tool to escape outside.
It is even more unacceptable to go back to the mother who lives like a beggar who is the heir of the name.

Isolate him thoroughly until the grid becomes a monster, until the grid becomes your puppet.
Not to depend on anyone, not to have any hopes,
Realize the reality that only despair exists.
Help him realize that despair and surrender is the only thing he can do.
It doesn’t matter if you see blood if necessary.

The lord really gave such an order,

‘Sorry. I’ve been watching you all along.’

Atria betrayed the lord and confessed everything to Grid.

‘I can’t watch you getting ruined anymore.’

… That was the reason for the betrayal, but it wasn’t the truth.

‘From now on, I will serve you as my master.’

Atria’s mother was also a loyalist who followed the former lord.
Since they gave grace so that they could live here, it is only natural that they repay the favor.
It was only natural that the lord could do the dirty work, her mother said.

The mother who said so was severely tortured for failing to do her job properly.
She was used as a monster in the name of punishment.
There, Atria’s mother was reduced to a lump of meat that even her shape was unrecognizable.

The lord showed it to young Atria,
She warned her that if she couldn’t carry out her kills, she’d end up like this.

From then on, in Atria’s mind, her loyalty to her lord was gone.
Her vengeance for the brutal murder of her mother settled in her heart.
For failing to perform her duties properly,
She could not forgive her lord for brutally killing her mother for failing and disgracing her own name.
She wanted to avenge her mother’s wrongful death.

Atria was sure that her revenge would be achieved if she joined hands with Grid.

Grid was also full of vengeance to kill her real father.

‘As a proof of my loyalty, I will offer myself to you. So please do not doubt my faith.’

To hold her hand with such a grid, Atria did Dogeza with her naked body,

‘Ho-ok, ho-ok, ho-oh-oh!’

Atria was raped by Grid until she was pot-bellied.

●●●

A year has passed since then.

“Bury the body in a sunny place.”
“Yes.”

In the hallway, Atria gave instructions to the soldiers.
The soldier pulled the wheeled cart and headed somewhere.
There was a bloody smell in the cart,

It contained the body of a woman who had lost her vitality.
There was no surprise, no anger, no surprise on the woman’s face as her neck snapped back.
It’s just that she had a normal expression on her face.

She must have been killed when she uttered her bitter words at Grid.
Because if she didn’t, she wouldn’t die with that expression on her face.

“Ha…”

How many times have you been with this? When will this mad carnage end?
Atria let out a sigh of hers.

‘Master…’

Can we stop now?
Your most hated lord is dead.
She did not admit her own fault until the end, and acted ugly, blaming you for her role, and then her head was pulled out alive.
She hung her corpse in the square until she was left with bony bones worthy of the misdeeds she had committed.
She has never shed tears of joy as much as she did then.
It was so nice to finally get rid of her mother’s resentment.

I killed all the villagers who mocked and despised you.
Those who survived were turned into test subjects.
Perhaps, like those who have been sacrificed so far, they will be reduced to unrecognizable chunks of meat.

I killed all the trash called relatives, no, kinsmen who ignored you.
He killed every one of those who cried and cried and begged for their lives.
It was surprising that you saved your stepmother and two older sisters, but I won’t let you go.
I know that the three of them also have a sediment that can’t be settled.

Thus, your vengeance is finished.
All those who persecuted you are destroyed.
Your mother will be proud of what you have done.
So there is no need for bloody revenge anymore.

There is no need for it, so why do you keep committing slaughter?
Why do you keep getting blood on your hands?
Why are you trying to kill everyone just because you’re in a bad mood?
Why am I becoming like the lord?

Atria was so worried about Grid’s madness.
Now that your vengeance is over, and there’s no one to kill anymore, why would you want to burn the world?

“Set the world on fire, does that make sense?”

After completing his revenge, Grid declared.

I’m going to set this world on fire
He said he would completely end the world that caused his mother to die.
He said he would not forgive anyone in order to achieve his goals.
A woman is spared, but if she rebels, she declares that she is no exception.

For that purpose Grid invaded every island in the South.
Burned them all, killed them all.
It turned it into ashes where not a single blade of grass could grow.
Among those who survived, the males were killed unconditionally, and the females were unconditionally taken as seedlings.

All the nobles living in the south joined forces to stop Grid from running out of control, but failed miserably.
As a reward for resisting, the territory they had cultivated so far ended up falling into a wasteland.
The surviving women were enslaved to the Grid and forever turned into seedlings that produced soldiers.

It was the same with Iris and her family.
He fought back, but in return, Yeongji was reduced to a factory that produced soldiers.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment to become a seed for producing soldiers for the Grid for the rest of his life.

Grid turned the normal south into a living hell.

Even after that, the grid did not stop.

She was constantly committing slaughter.
He constantly trampled on people’s lands,
It constantly shattered people’s hopes,
He killed everything he could, constantly, endlessly, endlessly.
Those who rebelled against him, those who disobeyed him, and those who rebelled against him were given death without exception.

The same was true of the dead woman who had been carried out on a cart a moment before.
He was the lord of an island and surrendered to Grid to protect his territory and people.
As a condition of his surrender, he agreed to surrender his body.

She was like that, and seeing her dead, she would have to assume that something wrong happened again.
Perhaps the enraged master will give instructions to devastate the territory.
The fact that she would have to commit another bloody massacre made Atria’s future dark.

‘Now the revenge is over…’

Those who were enemies are all dead, so why don’t they stop?
They say they are building an empire, but in reality they just enjoy turning the world into a sea of ​​fire.
Why the hell are you even doing this?
Why don’t you know that going on like this will only lead to ruin?
Are you doing this knowingly?

“…”

Atria, in her pensiveness, shifted her gaze to the book she held in her left hand.

〈 Spirit Summoning 〉.
Call in the spirits of another world and settle them in this world’s body.
Such an order was written in this book.

Atria was contemplating whether to use that spell on Grid.

‘I can’t leave it like this.’

Now master, the grid is not normal.
He was so consumed with revenge that he gave up being human and became a butcher.
He has shed countless people’s bloody tears and is receiving the hatred of many people.

Those who followed the master also came to receive the hatred of many people.
If the master dies for some reason, what will happen to the rest?
Just imagining it is terrifying.

Things must be done before such a terrible thing happens.
You must destroy the master’s soul and inject a new one.
Even if you don’t know what kind of person the summoned soul is, let’s induce it not to make it the same as it is now.
Let’s grow into beings who are not buried in slaughter, into tyrants for us.
Let’s serve him as the master, not as a stranger, until the end.
Even if the soul changes, the owner is the owner.

Atria thought so, but

‘Can I really do this?’

Can he really attack his master?
Can a body that has sworn allegiance forever be forgiven for doing such a thing?
Is it reasonable to do bad things to the master only for the cause of stopping the master from running rampant?
Wouldn’t it be better to risk one’s life and earnestly persuade the master with words?

I had such a mind,

“…”

In an instant, Atria remembered.

– Say something like that one more time.

The gaze of the master who had been glaring at him with a killing force, who had been complaining that he should stop now and come to his senses.

– No matter how much I won’t let you go.

Atria could not forget the sight of her, who declared that if she tackled her again for what she was doing, she would kill her.

She only posted advice because she was worried about her master, but why is that bothering her?
Should he be killed just for that reason?
Like a mother who faced a gruesome death in exchange for her loyalty?

Atria wanted such a death, so she wasn’t following the Grid.

Because if it was Grid, I knew she would be different.
Because if it was grid, she would be different from the previous lord.
Because she carelessly knew that she wouldn’t abandon herself, that she wouldn’t kill for some ridiculous reason.
She thought that if they shared the same pain, she would understand.

But no.
Grid is becoming more like a damn lord.
If left as it is, it’s only a matter of time before everyone is destroyed.
In a world that has become the enemy of this world, the person who should be the focal point is still mad with blood, and we cannot stand still.

“…Okay, let’s do it.”

Let’s do it when the opportunity comes.
There is no reason to hesitate anymore. If you hesitate, everyone will die.
Grid will die, and Atria will die too.
If it’s to prevent that…

Even if you are stigmatized as a traitor, you must do it.

In order to stop Grid’s rampage, Atria made up her mind.

And soon after, Grid conquered Fox Island.
Grid intended to eat Sua, the head of the nine-tailed fox.
Sua fed such a deadly poison to Grid.

On that very day, Atria put her resolve into action.
