CH 133

Does your foot get chopped by the ax you trusted in? (8) – unedited

Merson came over and wrapped his arms around my shoulders and began to soothe me. The heavenly deity was hit by Merson’s feet and slumped down under the wall before I knew it, clutching his belly and letting out a low moan.

“Kugh… It’s better not to let go. I’ve put it in your possession.”

“What?”

“It’s a weapon that was made by tearing off my wings and pouring divine power into it. Even the slightest touch is lethal, so another soul would be annihilated unless it is Kayle. But it would be quite troublesome for me to put it in that bloody bastard, so I leave it up to you, woman.”

“Do you think I would do that?”

“It is a choice. But know this one thing. If you don’t put blood on it right now, it will explode. It’s powerful enough to blow up the entire capital. It is the same even if it is separated from the body of the owner to which it belongs.”

Gulp.

A gulp ran down my throat. So now you want me to hurt Merson? The hand holding the dagger began to tremble.

“Oh, don’t worry. Kayle won;t disappear just because there’s an explosion. Perhaps the only ones who can survive in this capital are me, Kayle and Bella. Bella, of course, will be protected, and since the vast amount of divine power is sucked into your body and you cannot handle it, an explosion will occur, so you can say that you die first before anyone can use their hands.”

“Crazy, demonic bastard.”

“How can you say such a thing in front of the demon king.”

Merson took one step toward me. Startled, I got up and walked away from Merson.

“Don’t come.”

“I’m fine, Erina.”

Fine, fine. Why are you always so fine, and why are you so leisurely?

I shook my head and spoke again.

“I told you not to come.”

“Erina can’t handle it.”

“How do you know? It belongs to me. I’ll take care of this!”

Merson was hurt too much. Blood flows from his legs and hands, and ominous black light keeps leaking out.

I raised my wrist and put the dagger on it.

“If something goes wrong with me, tell the saintess everything from the first time we met. I don’t know if it can help. And when you find your memories… No matter how much you hate me, even if you tear me and kill me, it won’t be any better… I know these words are very shameless, but please don’t forget the purpose we came to the capital.”

“I can’t hate you. I won’t forget you.”

“I should have let you go right away. I must have been punished belatedly because I was such a bad woman.”

I know. In ‘Kayle’s life, I am the villainess. The time I held onto him was too long. Now is the time for everyone to go back to their place.

Just in case, if I die in this world, I might return to my room as if I had just woken up from a dream.

Tears flow. The twisted cogs are finally starting to mesh, and I, the foreign substance stuck between them, would be very sad.

“And don’t be too sad when I die. I’m sure you’ll live a long, healthy life in a place that Merson can’t even imagine. That is where you belong.”

“Where I belong?”

“Yes. I’m sorry for cheating and lying all the time. I apologize now.”

When I face death, which I have chosen myself, I become calm. But maybe the reason why tears flow so much is because I can no longer see the man in front of me.

Like a kaleidoscope, all the memories with Merson pass by. In this novel, the ending of ‘Erina Holden’ was such a tragic and ugly way.

“I didn’t admit it all the time, but I must have loved you, Merson.”

I closed my eyes thinking that I should finish it quickly before I had regrets. Without hesitation, I raised the dagger and slashed it down at my wrist.

But… The dagger cannot be moved because it is blocked by something. Before I even opened my eyes, I let go of the hand holding the dagger.

And what I could slowly see through my closed eyes was Merson’s red hand holding the blade with all his might.

“MERSON!!”

“I won’t send you anywhere.”

A white light shot up and filled the room. It rushed furiously into Merson’s body as if it were falling into a black hole, filling everywhere that I couldn’t even see anymore.

As the light faded, Merson collapsed, and he began to spit blood.

“Merson, wake up! Merson!”

When all the light was sucked into Merson’s body, he also lost consciousness and collapsed on the floor. At that moment, my hands were shaking and he couldn’t support Merson’s head.

After wandering around for a while, I mercilessly tore off the dress and wrapped it around Merson to stop the blood from flowing out of his hand along with the black light. The torn dress quickly turned red.

“Help, help me. Someone…….”

As of now, I can’t do any better. I looked around, but there was only the saint standing by and the heavenly deity laughing with a stupid expression.

I need someone to help me. Please, please!

It was too much for me to carry his huge body on my back, and even if I had to carry Merson on my back with superhuman strength, it would be impossible for the heavenly deity to just send me on my way. Even if the heavenly deity goes out of his mind for a moment and lets us go, I can’t think of anyone who can help Merson.

I begged and begged. Please don’t hurt my Merson. I prayed to many unknown gods, and I also prayed to myself.

Please send me to a place where there is someone to help, where Merson can fully recover.

“Let me go!”

At that moment, my head thumped and a familiar rumble came. I never dreamed that the sensation that I always thought of as ‘feeling bad’ would be so longed for.

The space was distorted and I was being teleported with Merson.
