Chapter 120

Episode 120. Luna Pendragon

“Senior... ... why?”



All around it was a sea of blood.

And they were all faces I knew.

“What is this... ... .”

I hurriedly let go of the handle of the sword I was holding, but the stabbed character did not change.

“Lucia.”

Lucia, whose chest was pierced by Galaksur, was looking at me with a hopeless expression.

“Senior, why me?”

When her gaze turned to the floor, there was Vivian’s body.

And right next to it, Amy was also collapsed.

“The senior killed them all. everything, everything.”

this can’t be real

Let’s stay calm.

what happened to me?

‘Black smoke from Lethe’s temple?’

* * *

“Ha ha.”

I came to my senses.

As I looked around, the scene I had seen the other day was unfolding.

“Give it back!”

“Nope? Take it away!”

I heard the cries of children and shuddered at the terrible memories that followed.

A nightmare where everyone I knew was dead.

‘That’s why it’s a recurring nightmare... ... .’

Is this what happens when you are enveloped in black smoke?

If I hadn’t experienced a situation similar to this once due to the barrier of indolence, it seemed that I would have been seriously burned.

Wouldn’t it be better to just die clean and come back?

for a moment. So what about Luna?

Luna looked up at the sky where she should have flown, but there was nothing there.

I waited for her for a while, but as she still didn’t seem to come, my anxiety grew.

‘Is it shocking? Or did something else happen?’

In the end, I decided to go find it myself and started walking in the direction where Luna had been seen.

-Kikkik!

“Rulf.”

Unexpectedly, Rulf came to me first.

Where is Luna going and only this guy is coming?

-Kikkik! Queek!

Rulf climbed on my body and started pointing somewhere.

After recognizing his intentions, I walked in the direction Rulf pointed out.

The deeper we went into the alley, the more gloomy it started.

Even the city, which seemed lively, seemed to have shadows.

It was a quiet place, as if only one part of the city was asleep.

I just quietly took a step on the street that was surrounded by silence as if everyone was asleep.

‘Is Luna’s starting point here?’

It doesn’t start in a very good place.

By the way, I don’t know where you are or what you’re doing.

While I was worried that something might be wrong, I felt someone’s gaze.

They were little children.

‘The exact opposite.’

Unlike the children who played on the street where I started, they were full of vigilance and pathetic. The time when I continued to walk, passing the eyes of such children.

“Oh man!”

I turned my head to the voice of a child calling me.

“Did you come back from the Fire Dragon Expedition?”

At the sudden question, I quietly shook my head.

“no. I didn’t fit in there.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

The expression on the child’s face, which seemed to be very disappointed, made me curious.

“Why did you ask?”

“yes? Oh, my father was taken away. Maybe... ... .”

dragged? conscription?

Wasn’t it only mercenaries and knights participating?

Come to think of it, it was strangely chilly.

Even though it was a slum, there were very few people, so I asked the child again just in case.

“Have all the people here been taken away?”

“yes. All the adults participated in the expedition.”

The boy’s answer made me unknowingly frown.

I didn’t feel very good as I knew roughly how the results of the Fire Dragon Expedition would flow.

‘You must have failed. That’s why this city became the place where the Fire Dragon died.’

Because the immature self couldn’t endure this world alone.

Let’s imprint mother’s soul like that... ... .

The world feared him as a Warlock class wizard.

“A diabolical black sorceress who commands Luna Pendragon’s own mother’s soul!”

I laughed hard.

All you need is a mother anyway.

I don’t care what other people say

No matter what anyone says if it only soothes this loneliness... ... .

I lived my life hiding my true feelings with a smile on my face.

In the days when I lived just because I was alive.

met him

“You cannot kill me.”

At first, I wasn’t interested in him at all.

It was all about the expectation that there might be a toy that could soothe this loneliness at the word that I had just found a page of indolence.

But the actions he showed afterwards.

Contrary to myself, who whined about being lonely every day but never had the courage to die.

More than anyone else, the will to live was burning, but the spark was visible in the figure of driving a knife into his chest without hesitation.

‘Adrias Cromwell.’

He took his own life and took it upon himself.

Maybe it wasn’t that kind of person that he longed for.

The meeting was brief, but the strong impression lasted for a while even after returning to the hiding place.

I quickly forgot about it because there was no link at all.

‘Adrias Cromwell.’

When I came out of the hiding place for the first time in a long time because of a job I was asked to do by chance.

When he found out that it was Adrias who killed Kyler, he felt a connection.

I wanted to get to know him.

I wanted to get closer to him through this incident.

If you are by his side, wouldn’t you be able to find the meaning of life like him?

maybe really maybe... ... .

Wouldn’t it be possible to forget loneliness by his side?

The whole world ostracizes you.

Being checked by dark-hearted people called the assembly.

Among the people who hate themselves for just being born this way.

please.

save me

I don’t want to have these painful thoughts anymore.

please.

someone me... ... .

“Luna.”

who... ... ?

“Luna Pendragon.”

A voice I’m more familiar with now.

the owner of that voice.

“Come back together.”

A smile was made.

‘friend.’

* * *

It was warm.

I struggled not to wake up from this cozy state, but in the end I had no choice but to open my eyes at the slow sweeping hand.

The Milky Way was nestled inside the slowly opening eyelids.

“Did you sleep well?”

“friend... ... .”

Luna was able to smile brightly because of a man whose eyes were like the Milky Way.

“I’m back.”

“I waited. I’m glad you’re okay.”

There was someone who worried about him and waited for him.

Now I’m not alone.

This fact alone made Luna happy.

Even though the experience might not seem like a big deal to others, she lay on his lap and looked up at the sky, thinking that she had done well to come out of hiding and find Adrias.

A new friend and only friend.

– Queek!

“Rulf! You were there too!”

Because this reality was so happy.

Rather, I wondered if it would be okay to repeat eternity here, but I shook my head.

‘I don’t want to see my friend having a hard time.’

Feeling the warmth of Adrias on your head.

Luna’s silvery white eyelashes trembled.

One day, I’m sure I’ll have to get out of this strange place.

At least for this moment, it was Luna who wanted it to last forever.
