My Villains Episode 266

51. Farewell to the Truth (8)

Phoenix muttered as if moaning as he closed his eyes.

“You killed him.”

“...trunnion. That’s”

Anger Confusion Doubt collapses in an instant. His face, which had been stained red, gradually turned pale.

Staggering backwards, Ellen grabbed the table and seemed to balance herself, then collapsed.

“Oh how? How could you do that?”

His blue eyes were filled with confusion and doubt. This time, despair and fear were also present.

“Hayla, did that crazy woman tell you?”

“...why did you do that?”

“Did Heila tell you?”

Phoenix slowly opened his eyes and looked down at Ellen.

“Why did you kill him?”

An emotionless voice and a cold gaze.

Ellen involuntarily swallowed her breath. Tears welled up in my eyes and dripped down at once.

“...Sorry. I”

“Tell me why.”

“I couldn’t... I couldn’t stand it. I was only trying to scare you. The thought of killing me.”

Phoenix’s mouth trembled.

Ellen tried to get up, but fell again and walked towards him on her knees.

“Poi, I tried to save him too. But no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find it in the sea.”

Ellen cried and closed her eyes tightly. The tears welling up flowed down my eyelids as if they were being squeezed out.

“I kept flying two or three times until I ran out of mana...

“Stop it.”

Phoenix continued with a gloomy look.

“Isn’t that what you meant to do? Didn’t you intend to kill me?”

“trunnion. I really-”

“If you really did it by mistake, the body would have washed ashore. But Daria was missing until July.”

“I don’t know what that is.”

Disappointment flashed in his dark eyes. Recognizing this even while crying, Ellen trembled and grabbed the lock of Phoenix’s trousers.

“Really. Poi please”

“Please please believe me.”

“I want to believe too. but.”

Phoenix’s hand overlapped Ellen’s trembling hand.

“But you know you can’t.”

“trunnion.”

“Tell me the truth, Ellen. How and why did you kill Daria?”

It wasn’t Ellen, who cried and trembled, who answered that request. A low, vibrating

sound

shook the room.

At the sudden change, Phoenix instinctively embraced Ellen. Then he opened his mouth in amazement. It was because he realized that the source of the vibration was his wrist.

“This is-”

Before I knew it, a white band of light was wrapped around Phoenix’s wrist. It started spewing out black smoke with a familiar feeling of mana.

“This.”

“The estate of dreams of dreams?” Hearing Ellen’s shrill voice, Phoenix opened its mouth.

The other day, Phoenix subdued and absorbed his alter ego, the artist. In the process, the quasi-dimensional dream manor built by the artist became his possession.

However, Phoenix, who escaped from the dream territory immediately after that, noticed that the ‘Throne of the Audience Room’ had turned to dust.

As a result, it was thought that the throne, the magic tool that opened the gateway to dreams, would have disappeared, so the dream territory would have disappeared as well.

“no way.”

Quasi-dimensions, once established, did not disappear so easily. The dream land was also preparing to open the gate again, hiding the entrance somewhere between the owner’s body and soul.

for a while too. Ellen of the past closed her eyes as the salty night breeze blew.

His distorted face became calm and his rough breathing subsided. It was like meditating.

“Whoa.”

With a deep breath, Ellen from the past opened her eyes. The girl wasn’t crying anymore.

“that’s right. I hate you.”

Ellen, who continued to speak in a calm voice, collected mana from the wing ornament. I slowly descended to the ground.

“I waited for the day I left the city and endured it.”

Stumbling along, the girl stretched out her right hand.

“But you’re going to follow me?”

“Wait a minute, Ellen.”

After a brief spell, a chill raged. Before I knew it, Ellen had a frost awl in her hand.

“That won’t work. I am going to die.”

“Wait a minute Ellen-sama”

“Sorry.”

sigh.

A piece of translucent ice that flew away leaving an afterimage grazed deep into my thigh.

“Aww!”

Daria, who swallowed her breath, was about to scream. The dancing spirit that had been lurking near Ellen flew on the night wind and clogged her throat.

“Are you sick? Is it even scratched?”

Daria clutched at the wound, her face pale.

My hands were stained with dripping blood. The cherry blossom ring on her fourth finger was also dyed red. The white petals were shattered, soaked in blood. As it fell, it was blown away by the night wind and disappeared across the sea.

“You don’t want to die either.”

Ellen moved on with an expressionless face. Daria struggled and crawled toward the scattered petals, gasping for air.

“Promise me then. It will disappear forever before our eyes like this.”

Ellen drew a second frostbite. In the past, her mana level was a thousand lower than now, and her mana was already showing the bottom.

“Then I will save you.”

Is it because of the sudden cut in the thigh and choking? Daria seemed confused. She looked around for the precious sign, then turned to Ellen.

“how is it?”

His expressionless face became pale due to the rapid consumption of mana, and even his eyes were cold. So Ellen looked just like an inorganic.

Daria, who was suffocating and her chest was shaking silently, watched the scene and suddenly threw herself away.

with a plop!

As Daria plunged into the dark waters, Ellen immediately launched her frostbite. There was only a small splash, but Daria did not rise again.

Instead, the light green wind that had been blocking Daria’s neck returned to Ellen.

“Stupid... go after it!”

Even with the tension, the spirit of dance did not move, only whirling around.

The moment Ellen, who grieved at this, was about to cast a spell. On the other side of the pier, torches flickered and footsteps were heard.

“this.”

The expressionless face cracked.

Embarrassed, Ellen wandered around for a while, then squeezed out the remaining mana to activate Aello’s Wings Opening Ceremony.

It was successful in avoiding the eyes of the guards, but he ran out of mana just before he reached the ground by detouring far away.

with a plop!

“Ugh! Phuh-”

She struggled in confusion, but Ellen was a girl who was far from athletic. The more I moved my limbs, the more I sank to the bottom of the water. Ellen was pushed ashore by the waves just before she lost consciousness.

“Uhhhhhhhhhh!”

Ellen, who had been regurgitating the seawater for a long time and catching her breath, abruptly raised her head.

“...Oh, no. If Poi knew...

he muttered something as if he had lost his mind, so he hid himself in the collapsed embankment and closed his eyes. After recovering mana for a while, he flew up into the night sky using wing ornaments.

After a while, she returned to the embankment, filled up her mana, flew over the sea again, and hid herself under the embankment...

While the similar process was repeated, Ellen’s eyes grew more nervous and her jaw trembled.

As Ellen of the past sat down under the embankment, trembling in despair and fear, a black disc flew in from somewhere.

The black disc, or the gateway to the dream, swallowed the current Ellen and me silently. the dream is ove
