Twisted Truth (9)

“Blood?”

When she raised her hand, red blood was tangled in her hand. There was a light disappearing around the flowing blood. When she looked closely, she could see the pattern clearly.

It was a magic circle. Even if she didn’t know what it was, she could guess that someone drew it. And she moved her gaze to the center along the line.

“Gasp.”

She was suffocated. She shook her head hard when she found the figure of a person who collapsed in the middle and was vomiting blood.

That can’t be true, the person she’s seeing probably isn’t him, and she held the floor to swallow and swallowed her vomit to breathe in the blockage.

There was no strength in her legs. Her trembling arms and whole body continued to deny reality. Words did not leak out of her mouth.

Tears burst out of her eyes when the anger that was blocked up to her throat soon became a sound and popped out.

“Ahhhh.”

It won’t. It wouldn’t be him.

She crawled on the floor and approached the person who was crawling down. Like a person who couldn’t speak, a voice barely came out of her mouth.

She grabbed the collar of a fallen man with a voice garbled with saliva and the sound of a beast crying.

Why is he here? Why?

“Ah… Ah! Oh my god!”

Even if she shook her head and denied it, it was him. It was none other than Karl, bleeding and dying coldly with a faint smile.

He, who smiled at her, was already away from her, who seemed always to be there. She punched him in the chest and called him, but there was no answer.

She squeezed out a voice that didn’t come out and said Carl, but only her crying voice rang in the forest.

Taking Carl away from her arms, she walked blankly to Nox with blurred eyes.

Thak-

She slapped him at once. Nox’s face, which went back to the side, would steal a teary view and she slapped him one more time.

Thak-

She couldn’t even feel the tingling sensation of her hands. No pain was comparable to the heart pain that seemed to be torn.

She shouted at him as if he were pouring out resentment. Her body, which was close to collapse, staggered by evil.

“Carl… What did you do to Carl?… Is that it?”

When she saw the calm eyes and the corner of the raised mouth, her mouth closed automatically. She felt her lips shaking and bit them gently, and blood came out.

Nox smiled at her and said.

“That’s why I told you to keep what’s precious.”

“…Precious…….”

She didn’t know what he said was Carl, and she didn’t expect Nox to care about Carl enough to take him from her.

Because she kept her distance. She thought Carl would be safe.

“Why… Why…..”

Words didn’t come out of her mouth. She wanted to ask him why he did it, but the sentence could not come out of her mouth.

Her throat was suffocating as if it would burst out at any moment. Carl died because of her.

“It’s not because of you. Since Carl made the choice.”

She devoted herself to evil and put strength all over h body. Both eyes were bloodshot, and the tightly clenched hands were skinned on their fingernails and bleeding. Cracky teeth, and her teeth are split.

“Murderer.”

“Me? Or you?”

“Why are you doing this to me?”

If he didn’t like her, who just worked hard to live, wouldn’t it be okay if she had killed him?

“Just kill me.”

“Then I can’t have you.”

“If you do this…… Can you have me?”

Nox’s words made her laugh in despair. He’s nuts. Completely…… she turned her head and looked at the cold Carl.

At the same time, the black aurora began to circle around Nox. The ground rang low with a slightly distorted expression. She felt an unpleasant illustration around her.

Carl’s blood poured toward Knox. His body… It was being scattered like it was breaking up.

“Carl, carl…?”

She rushed to Carl. But she couldn’t get close. An invisible wall was blocking her. She hit the wall and shouted.

Thump, thump.

Bang, bang.

Still, she hadn’t taken a step closer. Despite her crying voice and desperate struggle, she could not go to Carl.

“Argh! No! No! Carl!”

Carl was disappearing as if it didn’t exist. In front of her eyes, one, two…….

“Mary, don’t be too sad. You have to see what that child has done for you with your eyes.”

What in the world…

At that moment, Arthur’s voice was heard behind him.

“Mary…”

Sliding down.

She sat on the floor and looked back with a messed-up face. A black aura was also hovering around Arthur’s body.

“No way, Carl…….’

Her whole body has been trembling. Arthur approached her slowly. She laughed out loud as she saw Arthur approaching.

“Ha, hahaha…… Hah.”

Despair was swallowing and destroying her. Her head was pounding and she felt nauseous. Eventually, she made Carl unhappy until the end.

If the price of turning away and pushing him away to protect him by her side is the death of another person…… Maybe she should have died.

She took out the dagger from her arms. She didn’t know she would use it like this.

“Mary!”

Arthur reached out to her looking at her. Nox’s red eyes flashed. Looking at them, she tried to stab the sword in a glow.

Ping~

For a moment, her eyes turned around and they went black.
