Chapter 698 – Excuses

The scattered white petals were ejected all at once along with a single gunshot from Lee Si-heon’s fist.

Boom – Beautiful peach blossoms covering the altar in an instant.

– Sssss.

The march of petals that move in a row is like white sand with poison.
The petals that flew in a column spread their vicious jaws at the nobles’ necks.

The first course of the Heavenly Demon Goddess. White Peach.

Lee Si-heon’s mana, which had been slightly heated, expanded in the air. A disaster of natural disaster happened right in front of Aori’s nose.

Because the gap was so short, I had no idea what had happened.

What Aori saw was just the countless flower stalks extending from Lee Si-heon.

Endless lights.
Like, the white night.

─Flash!!!

The pupils open and take away the field of view.
The dark labyrinth was surrounded by beautiful lights and did not lose its light for a long time.

White peach blossoms descending from the ceiling.
Falling petals shyly fell on Aori’s feet.
When I lowered my head to look at the petals, the wind that missed my turn blew after me. At the same time as Aori’s red hair belatedly fluttered.
Patter- and.
The heads of the fallen nobles fell from the ceiling.

– Puck, puck!

Singly. Slowly, as if drizzling rain, the cut pieces of flesh fell toward the floor.

The peach blossoms on the floor turn the color of dirty blood.
Aori looked around her in disbelief.

Countless pieces of flesh were still floating on the ceiling.
They stopped as if they were hanging on a spider’s web, and at short intervals, little by little, slowly, one after another, they began to crumble.

The expressions of a cowardly criminal who suffered torture.

-Tok, todok.

Fall without end
Corpses hung from the ceiling like rotten fruits that had passed through the iron were constantly falling.

Not a hallucination, but something that actually happened.

The martial arts of her man even created the surrounding environment to the extent that she forgot that the space she was standing in was an altar.

─Flash!

When the corpses of all the nobles from the ceiling finally fell. The world sank into darkness and assumed its former shape, and Aori could barely move her body.

“King… !”

The heavy surrounding air settles. A dark murderous intent choked her breath.

An instrument that penetrates deep into the heart even when you sigh repeatedly.

The huge man seemed to be nothing. Leaning on the ceiling of the labyrinth, he lowered his head and entered the altar, stepping on the mire made of blood.

-Chalbak.

Pieces of flesh and bones gnawed at the petals are scattered all over the place.
Fixing his gaze over the aori, he looked around lightly and clicked his tongue softly.

The shadows of Rex and the King are not visible.
Some high-ranking nobles also disappeared, so they didn’t believe in Dieffenbakia from the beginning.
The ritual of resurrection that has been waiting for over a hundred years. Of course, the guys must have been looking for a lot of options.

Lee Si-heon looked around widely. Aori took a step closer as she tried to find a trace of something.

I needed to catch up, but more importantly…

“Aori. Have you ever seen a kid this size? Hair is black It’s a little bit out of character.”

King’s factor.
Now that he lacks magic power, he needed the crown’s help to push the former king.
More accurately, it was the only way to topple the king.

The reason why the king of trees expressed that he had to admire King Mokryong to be a skeleton soldier was not simply that his power had weakened.
A common way to kill a Skeleton Soldier in a dungeon is to remove the core of its power.
The magic stone, life force, or the person’s soul did not change the formula.

King Mokryeong, who returned today, is an imperfect being embodied only with life force and the power of the crown.
He would self-destruct shortly after retrieving half of the crown.

Lee Si-heon thought.

‘Although interrupting the ceremony midway is another way. It can’t be.’

If you take care of the existing work, I will open another drink.
I personally defeated the former king so that he would never wake up again.
In addition, if the crown that had grown through the use of the previous king was taken away, the mastery and magical power of the crown could be improved.

Truly a high-risk high-return.
It is a word that writers who manage their own destiny will really like.

The life of a man named Lee Si-heon has always been like that.
The more you struggle, the greater the reward.

The previous ordeal was like that.
It was the same when his master risked his own life.
He who collapsed in another dimension was the same.

So if at all… Choose the most difficult way.
Not just difficult, but something you can be sure of.

“… I went down to the basement.”
“Okay?”

At Aori’s words, Lee Si-heon immediately turned his head.
In response to that urgent response, Aori took a step closer to him.

“I, the king.”
“Are you okay.”
“… But.”

Despite the disaster, there was not a single drop of blood on Aori’s dress, except for the part dragged by his foot.

Aori gathered his fists together. I lowered my guilt-filled face to keep him from worrying.
She was aware that the situation was so urgent. I just want to say this.
It may be a shameless attitude, but I had to apologize.

“… Sorry.”
“I knew from the beginning. Rather, I am sorry. I should have told you first.”

I believed it, but there was a chance.
Like magic or authority. Due to the risk of information being exposed in any way, he did not tell Aori the truth until the very end.

“Sorry. You suffered a lot.”
“Why… Is the king apologizing?”

There is no curse to the person who worked hard for him.
Being deceived by well-crafted lies is something anyone can experience.
Aori, who can be cold-hearted many times when it comes to things related to himself, is because he values ​​the two people who are like his family too much… He made such a careless choice.

– Kkok.

Lee Si-heon approached Aori and gave her a strong hug.

“Yes.”

Arms are cold
He must have been pouring out so much concentration because he saved his mana as much as possible.

Even so, Aori almost shed tears for the first time at the hand that tried to hug her as warmly as possible.

“Get out of here. Straight to her arsenal.”
“… An armory?”
“Because the town is dangerous. Ask the sun and the corps commander. Or you can go to your room. Do you know where it is?”
“The King… Are you fighting with another king? “
“Yes. 그러기 위해서라도 빨리 그 애를 찾아야 해.”

Aori chined toward the basement of the blood flowing.

“Baron Theron. The man named him dragged him. It seems to be a sneaky thought, but by now…”

I get it.
Siheon, who was heading his head, knocked on Aori’s back and loosened the hug.
Aori spits his breath as if it’s unfortunate for a while, but he grabbed his hand. Even now, it can’t be a trick.
Soon he grabbed his heart and turned his body.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

The hands of a middle -aged man with a lot of fat touches black cloth. He stroked his stomach on his clothes.

“Flaw. Hehe.”

Cold stone floor. The factor of the premiere face looked at Theron, who stuttered his body with his powerless eyes.

“Stay still. I will die anyway, but if I listen to me, I’ll send it comfortably. “
“…”
“Flaw. Hehe. Big! How ridiculous was it? Uh? How fun it must have! In the meantime… The year I lived in my handsome taste… I imagined that I would be on my dirty body. “

Now I’m respectful and nothing. Theron’s hand went down to the lower abdomen.
A shirt that has been disgusted.
The cute navel and the smooth skin of the milk stimulated Theron’s high -end.

Every time the shirt goes over, the ship exposed to the cold prison air.
Her navel goes up to the chest and then the chest.

“Huh, by all … No matter how tired, I can’t get tired. “

Dignity is trampled.
There was no power to resist.
Neither magic attribute nor crowns listen to themselves.

“The thighs are firm… The face is also as pretty as you are, and you can’t find it in this tower. It’s more than a corps commander for the century. It’s a pity that a bitch like you is a factor.”

The hand on his thigh penetrates deeper and deeper.

It’s all over.
Tears run dry, despair knows no bounds.

Feelings that had crossed the line long ago became a disease and sank into his chest.
The argument came to the point where he begged his enemy, Theron, in a cracked voice.

“… Stop. I’d rather kill me. “

I would rather be born.
Betrayed by those called parents, he lost half of the crown that had been with him all his life.

When you realize the moment that your lifelong dream is in vain.
Who knows that despair?

“… No. Me… Me. Like this…”
“I can’t. So it’s too bad? Because I want to see you cry over me.”
“To do this… It’s not here. “
“Why do you think so? The bitch was abandoned by the mother. “

Okay.

I have loved and believed in my mother, who had never seen her face.
Now I realize that it was wrong, but… What do you mean?

“No… Black… I don’t like it !! “

The girl’s face, stripped of her dreams, was that of her frightened child.

The factor kicked Theron in the face with his unsocked foot, barely swinging his weak arm.
Theon suppressed the argument’s resistance.

“Keuk…”
“Can’t you stay still?”
“… No. I hate it!!”

Tears stopped flowing again. The enraged factor shouted in a frenzied tone.

“Why me… It’s supposed to look like this. How good are you guys?”

Selfish year.
What Theron said while looking at the argument.

But think again.
In a world without others, is the word selfishness valid for her who has cut off her ego and become young?

The existence of Lee Si-hun, who appeared at the right time… It was too reasonable to blame.

To Son of Man, Lee Si-heon is
It is a being that has been waiting for over a hundred years, and a companion to share his pain.
It means that they are lifelong partners who will grow together and walk through the same era.

I was born for it The timing is off.

Long before Lee Si-heon was born, In-ja had endured pain every day with very little expectations.
It is only natural that Lee Si-heon, who appeared late, could not live up to In-ja’s expectations.
In such a short period of time, it was rather absurd to qualify as a king.

Even though it was too late, he accepted his fate and used the king’s power.
Lee Si-heon’s spirit is also the result of being driven to an extreme.
The two diverged.

—Why, why aren’t you using your strength? You have to adapt quickly. You agreed too
-Shut up.

The three years that Lee Si-heon was away from the world were the most important time for the king and son-in-law.

-Don’t treat me like that… !! You said I was sick… !
─It’s done. Take out the power

There is no time to put the sum together.
The crown’s burden was entirely directed toward the Son of Man.

—… Stop. Me… It’s really dangerous.

He didn’t answer, but Lee Si-heon’s reaction at that time was that he would rather die.

The moment when the feelings towards each other end in hatred.
No matter how much hate builds up, the last two are too far apart to be called companions. He was a thorough man.

It was natural.
They didn’t mesh from the timing, the difference in waiting was great, and one side couldn’t accept their fate.
It’s because we know each other’s feelings so well as much as our hearts are connected. The hatred only grew.

“… Heck, hehe.”

That led to this

In response to the unpleasant sensation felt on the pit of the stomach, the argument only shed tears.

Only one.
What the Son of Man realized only after the incident happened. That there was a truth he was closing on himself.

It’s her parents who make her own situation. The fact that it was neither the crown nor Lee Si-heon who was handed the fate.
I had forgotten in my heart. No, it was something I had to forget.

Why did Son of Man’s arrow of resentment go toward Lee Si-hun?

It was also because of his wayward self and his attitude. Argument was in an environment where she could not resent her parents in the first place.

The 100 years that the Son of Man waited is a lifetime for someone.
The sound that you have to endure all the time in a space where there is nothing.
It was an unbearable amount of time without a purpose.

“… Kkeuk, turn it off!”
“No matter how much you resist, you are nothing without a crown! Know?!”
“You… Know what.”

The moment she becomes negatively conscious of the purpose her mother gave her,
Everything the Son of Man has endured will crumble.

From her own birth, her purpose, present and future. All of that.
Not to mention, it wasn’t something he could fix on his own.
So, the uneasiness that erupted was directed towards Lee Si-heon.

The truth that I should never realize, unfortunately, I only found out after falling into the abyss.

– Damn!

The pain in the cheek breaks the Son of Man’s thoughts.

“This fuck. A year to rot…”

Theron’s screeching sound broke out, and his large hand wrapped around the Son of Man’s neck.

“Big… Town… Ugh.”

A figure full of anger and unable to control its strength.
Looking into Theron’s red, bloodshot eyes. The Son of Man stopped thinking.

‘…’

The eyes of the Son of Man who strangled him are gradually blurring.

Even at that moment when I realized the truth, I didn’t feel guilty.

What filled his chest was futility and emptiness.
The fact that nothing has been done. A purpose that has been denied for the rest of its life and has lost its place to go.

The arrogant, selfish argument could not think of anything else.

But if…
What if we had a little more conversation?

If only I hadn’t acted impulsively.
Bear a little more pain… If you waited for that man to grow up.

—… Show me seals

Without deviation.

-Stay still.

If only we had met together at the right time.

─If you stay still, you will show the seal family, right? Then I’ll wait!

Would something have changed?

I see myself reflected in the distant field of vision.
A long time ago… I was much more mature than I am now.
Sitting quietly on the field, looking at his old self, holding his hands together and waiting for someone. Son of Man shed tears.

Fit-

The lights went out.
