Chapter 90.2: Floating Sanctuary (6) Part 2

Chapter 90: Floating Sanctuary (5) Part 2

All the fairies around her did not want her to remain a good child.

She could no longer be a good child.

“So now, I...”

Perin’s eyes stained with blood looked up at the sky.

The sky was dark and rain was pouring down.

Plop. Plop.

The sound of rain hitting the leaves reached Perin’s ears clearly.

The rainwater that ran down her cheeks cooled down Perin’s burning head.

The passion that had been burning inside her also cooled down in the cold rainwater.

“Now... I...”

In the rain that quenched the heat, Perin realized.

All her efforts were in vain.

The fairies in front of her did not love Perin.

And Perin no longer loved them either.

There was no reason to maintain this dry relationship anymore.

“As long as I have Yuto... I don’t need anything else.”

What came out of her frozen emotions was evil.

The evil that represented the sky on earth.

The apostle of the evil god who opened his eyes in purity looked at the fairies.

Sometimes there are moments like that.

When I cry watching a movie, or get emotional over a line of words that I like.

When I read a book and feel frustrated for the protagonist who is in a difficult situation.

These things don’t happen often, but sometimes they come to me.

I find myself empathizing with stories that are not even my own.

The situation I am in right now is one of those cases.

-“I told you to stop!”

What is displayed on the screen is the appearance of Perin, the fairy I contracted with.

She is being pinned down by other fairies, and subjected to a suspicious magic.

No one stops their actions despite her voice demanding them to stop.

They ignore Perin’s story completely and are trapped in their own world.

A dryness fills my mouth as I watch the screen.

I unknowingly grip the smartphone in my hand tightly.

“...”

It’s just a trivial tragedy that happens to a character.

It’s nothing more than a story of AI’s causing friction according to a predetermined scenario.

Everything I see in front of me is fake, and nothing but a play prepared for me.

At the end of this story, a character for me will be completed, and will continue to move for me.

Even so.

Even so, I don’t feel comfortable watching the screen.

Even though I know this is fake, I have to feel uncomfortable with the sight in front of me.

“...Stupid bastards.”

It’s a different feeling from crying while watching a sad movie.

It’s also very different from feeling like my character is losing something.

I feel angry watching the screen right now.

Clear anger.

I’m angry that they’re messing with my character, but what makes me even angrier is that she’s being ignored.

-“Rendel! Are you okay!”

She is the character I chose.

They ignored the character I chose.

They criticized and insulted her, and kept twisting her story.

I couldn’t just let go of their attitude.

Even if I knew it was a scripted plot.

-“What do you mean! You are the disgrace of our fairy race!”

They’re just NPCs for crying out loud.

They live like hamsters according to set rules, with false lives.

They don’t know anything about the truth, and look at the same sky every time.

Who are they ignoring right now?

Who are they trying to mess with the toy under me?

“That’s why it makes me feel worse.”

I don’t intend to sit in the VIP seat and watch the tragedy forever.

The only thing that suits the heartbreaking tragedy is them who reject me.

Those who have come under me should not suffer such things.

That’s because I’m paying for it.

I am – hoping that these little creatures move according to my will.

“Die.”

I don’t care about being a god or whatever, such a ridiculous role in the game.

There are only strict rules on this small screen.

I’m above and they’re below.

Those who go against my will don’t need to exist.

Everything I see must be my world that moves for me.

That was the ‘rule of the game’ that existed between me and them.

-You used <Lightning Arrow>.

There was no way that a mere law of attraction would work on such a being.

What kind of name would he have to bring to blind his eyes?

He thought that only the name of the great world tree would be able to divert his attention for a moment.

“You’re really crazy.”

“What else can I do without going crazy? We’re all going to die anyway.”

“If you think hard enough, there might be a way to survive.”

“I’m not good at thinking as a mage, so it would be better for you stubborn warriors to think!”

Egersuit’s face turned red at Rendel’s words and he drew his big sword.

The sword was his symbol as well as his weapon.

He pointed his sword at the sky and prepared to break out of the barrier.

Seeing Egersuit trying to fight against the evil god, Rendel’s lips curled up in mockery.

As he met eyes with Egersuit, who was about to say something displeased,

A seductive voice began to creep into their ears.

“You are still foolish.”

Rendel and Egersuit’s eyes turned to where the voice came from at the same time.

Bats were flying together under the sunset hidden by clouds.

And there was a girl sitting on top of them.

Dark hair that glowed red even under the dark sky.

Ruby-like eyes that shone brightly in red.

The girl who commanded the bats like fish caught their attention immediately.

“A, vampire...?”

The ancestor of vampires, who was famous by name.

The only existing vampire and an ancient monster who had been with them since the beginning of history.

Pluto Austria.

The fairies who saw her realized her identity in an instant.

“You shouldn’t exist...”

A being that shouldn’t exist showed herself clearly in front of them.

Pluto’s eyes sparkled in the darkness, and Rendel sank into despair again as he looked at her.

“I didn’t know the vampire was still alive...”

“You seem to be very surprised.”

“There’s no reason not to be. The sealed ancestor of vampires is right in front of me.”

Rendel dropped his staff on the ground as he faced Pluto.

It wasn’t hard to guess who she was representing.

The ancestor in front of him was the agent of the evil god.

She came to spread his will to the fairies here and collect the price of their share.

Egersuit was more confused than anyone else by Rendel’s gesture of laying down his weapon in front of Pluto.

He pointed his sword at Rendel’s neck and asked him urgently.

“Elder Rendel! Are you really crazy?”

“I don’t want to see your face as the last thing I see.”

“Rendel! Wake up!”

Rendel did not yield to Egersuit’s threat.

Rather, he spread his arms wide and waited for the death that would come to him.

As if responding to Rendel, Pluto took a stance with her death scythe in her hand.

Darkness formed a giant scythe to match the appearance of the noble ancestor.

A giant scythe of darkness pointed at them right in front of them.

Egersuit, who was thinking of blocking Pluto’s scythe, moved his sword in front of Rendel.

“Elder Rendel! I’ll block it! Request reinforcements with magic as soon as possible!”

“Again, you are really... foolish creatures.”

Pluto smiled and swung her scythe.

Egersuit’s greatsword also swung toward Pluto’s scythe that was rushing at them.

The moment the shape of the jet-black scythe and Egersuit’s greatsword collided,

Pluto’s scythe pierced through the greatsword and grazed past them.

The slash that broke through all defenses in an instant cut across Rendel and Egersuit’s bodies.

Swoosh—-

With a clear sound, a deep wound was engraved on Egersuit’s chest.

Egersuit’s eyes widened as he stood still with blood gushing out of his chest.

“Kuh... Huk...!”

Crack!

Egersuit stabbed his greatsword into the ground and covered his wound with one hand.

Fear of death was clearly visible in his bloodshot eyes.

He tried to stop the bleeding from his wound by leaning on his greatsword.

But there was no sign of his wound calming down despite Egersuit’s desperate touch.

As he was covering his wound, Pluto walked toward them leisurely.

“Didn’t you say that you were born under the tree and died under the dirt?”

Pluto recalled the fairies’ spell and raised her hand that was not holding the scythe.

Then she lightly snapped her fingers together.

Snap—-

The moment Pluto flicked her thin fingers,

Blood exploded from Rendel and Egersuit’s chests.

With a loud noise, blood splattered and created a gruesome scene.

“I guess you can’t go back to the dirt.”

Pluto lifted her scythe and spoke as she used blood magic.

The ancestor of vampires in their blurred vision.

That was the last sight that Rendel and Egersuit saw.
