88 – Crescendo (3)

Evan is dead. Realizing that fact, Irene struggled to suppress her sobs.

She wanted to run right away and hug Evan, but she wanted to check her cold body.

She knew she couldn’t do that, so she silently looked ahead, wiping away the tears that flowed down her face.

Biltain, his teeth clench at the fact that he killed Evan.

However, I can’t fight him. Irene thought calmly.

The mana that Evan gave me.

She’s for herself… And isn’t that the mana she gave to get out of here?

Tears leaked out again at that consideration. With this mana, Evan could have revived himself.

He was born with dragon blood, so even so. He gave himself Evan silver mana.

Realizing that the opportunity created by sacrifice and the fact that the darkness had stopped oppressing her, Irene quietly swallowed her cry.

She couldn’t use it in vain. At least, it will be enough to grieve after everything is over.

“…It’s all over.”

No, it’s not over yet. Irene glared at Biltain’s muttering and thought.

Evan died, but Evan’s mana was still contained in me.

What should I do to get his attention? Irene’s eyes darkened as she recalled the dagger in her arms.

However, this gaze should not be revealed. Tears started flowing again from Irene’s eyes as she bit Evan’s lips.

“Even if you cry like that, it doesn’t change. Evan Fried is dead. Irene Uris.”

“Shut up.”

“What changes when you cry? Look at the scattered knights. In the end… It’s your fault that this happened.”

It’s your fault, Irene was trying hard to manage her expression. Her words made her heart ache.

Evan died… And that it was his own fault. He couldn’t possibly deny it.

Isn’t the reason why he came up here alone and fought so desperately to get himself out of here?

She never once felt powerless over anything.

But for now, Irene had no choice but to bow her head at the feeling of helplessness that engulfed her whole body.

‘Evan…’

I saw her arm broken. I saw the flesh torn apart and scattered with blood.

Even so, Evan didn’t give up. In the meantime, he continued to fight, brandishing his sword.

Isn’t Evan the one who tried to hold out even in the master’s realm? A bitter taste lingered in his mouth.

Blood is constantly oozing from the torn soft flesh,

Before long, Irene, who was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, looked at Bil Thein again.

“I have no intention of offering Evan Fried as a sacrifice. If she was going to sacrifice, she wouldn’t have killed. I would rather have her limbs cut off and sacrificed after showing her struggling in front of you.”

Seureung-

Biltain looked at the fallen Evan for a moment. He was great

As a single knight, as much as he devoted his allegiance to the empire, at least for a time.

It was to the extent that I had a slight admiration for the grit he showed. But… Evan Fried is dead.

He was the one who was alive, and it was he who stabbed his heart.

As an expression of respect for him, he gave up offering Evan Fried as a sacrifice,

However, he did not intend to give up the sacrifice itself.

Taking out his beloved sword, Balmung, from her waist, Bil Tane aimed the sword at Irene’s neck.

Although not as much as Evan Fried, Irene Uris was also a great offering.

The rarity of the 5th family, the special power of the family itself called Yuris.

With that in mind, it was clear that the plan would succeed on time.

“You will become a sacrifice. Irene Uris.”

Irene did not answer.

I just waited for him to come a little closer while estimating the distance with Viltain.

What is the ‘plan’ the black magicians keep talking about?

I wondered what was the reason for dragging Evan here, but…

She said that now she had to get out of here first.

Below was Sir Theorard and the Crown Prince.

Seeing Bill Thein approaching, Irene then pursed her lips when he came a little closer.

“…Biltein Roman.”

The hatred that pierced his heart was directed at him.

I have to act calmly, but when I see those hateful purple eyes, anger boils inside me.

Hot breath leaked from her mouth. I want to strangle that neck in front of me right now.

I wanted to pierce his heart with a knife and kill him, even if it meant dying myself.

However, Evan wanted him to survive.

Suddenly, Irene came out of the darkness and cut Viltane’s wrist.

Viltane was unable to react to the unexpected surprise attack with the dagger in his bosom.

How did you get out of the darkness? My eyes widened in an instant at a possibility I hadn’t even considered.

And, in that darkness, a spark that rekindled. Suddenly, white flames rose from Irene’s body.

Irene, who raised all of the mana Evan gave her, opened a gap with Viltane.

If you fall from this height… You will surely die. Irene glanced at Evan’s corpse and bit her lip.

I didn’t know what was below, but there was no other option than to break through and get out of this place.

Tadak, it was a wide cavity. Maybe that’s why, even after running for a while, the exit didn’t come close.

Still, Irene ran. Even if the shadows creeping up from the ground turn toward me,

Evan’s flame swung his blazing sword and slashed it as he ran forward.

I was out of breath. I reached the beginning of the expert, but

It wasn’t easy to wake up in this realm of mana, where you could just feel it.

Her breath alone consumed her mental power, her own mana bloomed along with Evan’s flame.

Blue, white mana wrapped around Irene’s body. What makes you feel safe just because of that?

But…If even this flame faded, Irene’s eyes narrowed at the fact that she would never see Evan again.

Running towards her exit, Irene faced her memories running through her head.

She

On the day she first met Evan, she saw an escort knight with a strange expression on her face.

She talked to me about this and that and told me about the article that she rolled in a friendly way.

At that time, I heard one word, “Are you okay?” She should tell you what a difference it has made for her.

Irene bit her lip. She remembers the festival.

I used to walk alone, pouting. I remember that Evan, who was following me behind me, was still smiling.

Her heart ached. Her tears kept dripping down her cheeks, making her blind.

She didn’t stop running.

“…Ha ha.”

Spring, summer, fall, and winter. The four years we spent together were vividly floating in my mind.

Isn’t there a framed picture still placed in a corner of her desk, and a picture of her smiling together in it?

She thought that they could be together like that forever.

By the way, by the way. The thoughts didn’t follow.

The emotions that kept rising, even her breath was choked, and all she could do was force herself to let her breath out.

If this were an illusion, if I stretched out my hand even a little, I would reach him.

I couldn’t help it because his body was cold when I touched it. How can I accept that he is dead?

The touch of my lips, the intertwined tongue, and the body temperature that touched are so vivid.

Irene did not want to accept that a person named Evan Fried had disappeared from this world.

She accepted it calmly, but in the end, she just ‘pretended’ it.

If it collapses here, I’m afraid it will really collapse.

For the rest of my life, having to live a life without a knight named Evan,

Because just thinking about it was like hell.

Irene grabbed her chest as her breathing gradually quickened.

How much did she run, the exit … Where the hell is it?

Actually, I didn’t want to live. If I die like this, wouldn’t I be able to meet Evan?

There were so many things I couldn’t tell you. Now that she was aware of her feelings, she only felt resentful of herself.

I like you, I love you. If I can’t see you even for a moment

I had it in my heart enough to miss it alone.

I like the touching of the hands, the touching of the lips.

When I held him, I liked the warmth he felt when I was holding him.

By the way.

The fact that I can’t tell you that now. He made Irene suffer so much.

There were no flames, no spears that pierced the skin, no swords, no arrows that pierced the heart forever.

This situation just felt like hell. A sharp pain squeezed his heart.

If I give up like this, will I be able to see Evan? As if she had lost her mind, the corners of Irene’s mouth twisted as she smiled at her in the void.

I couldn’t see the exit. As if she were caught in a cycle of eternal cycles,

No matter how much I ran, I couldn’t get closer to the exit. The pervasive darkness that covers this space,

Irene stopped her steps and slowly grabbed her dagger.

“…Was quite surprised.”

Bil Thein glanced at her slashed wrist and opened her mouth. She’d expect her surprise at that moment.

She It would have been impossible with her mana in her body. Viltain’s gaze turned to the white flames surrounding Irene.

That mana probably removed the darkness.

Evan Fried would protect Irene Uris until the very last moment, which Viltane never thought of.

Slowly, the scars on her wrists, where the darkness permeated, began to gradually disappear.

She couldn’t hurt herself this much. One stroke,

She could embarrass herself and create a moment of leeway…But that would be all.

She was a biltane who walked slowly, but Irene felt an indescribable pressure from that step.

Irene clenched her teeth as she grabbed her trembling shoulders. She couldn’t die like this.

It was her life that Evan had entrusted to herself. She begged herself with the last of her strength to live.

“Give up.”

“…I won’t give up.”

-I am your escort driver.

Why does it remind me of Evan, who had told me that on the day when it snowed? She

She thought she could still be together. Even when he said he was going to subjugate Roman,

Even when he embraces himself sobbing… Just like he always did. He thought it would be fine.

From noble mtl dot com

Irene raised her dagger. When Bilthein approaches, she stings, She

She pulled up all her senses, trying to catch his movements. It was Viltein who even defeated Evan.

He didn’t know how much time he could take against such an enemy, but it might not be possible.

But she had no intention of dying quietly like this.

If I had held onto him more aggressively at that time,

Did something change? Hurry up, the last mana raised.

He himself didn’t have as much mana as Evan. Maybe this will be the last time.

The blue mana that covered the sword started to burn like a flame.

White flames mixed in between, Irene calmed her mind as she watched the flames.

You can. It should take a while. Wee,

It should have been enough to wait until Sir Theorard and the crown prince entered this direction.

…I wonder if I can survive until then. Irene smiled lightly as she saw Biltain holding her dagger.

She collapsed. She thought that everything had come to an end, but she had come to the end because she was herself.

In a space where silence flows, Viltein began to move slowly. If it were Evan, it was a move he would easily follow.

However, Irene hurriedly swung her dagger at Bil Tane’s movement that she missed at the moment.

She split the collar of Bil Thein in an instant, but that was all.

Tak, I hit Irene’s wrist and her dagger pointed towards the sky.

As soon as Irene let go of her dagger, she ran straight after her.

If we fight more than this, we will surely lose.

The judgment was quick, and Viltane, who looked at the sword that cut through the air, quietly looked at Irene.

Anyway, she can’t run away anymore. From the moment the domain was opened, this duke’s residence was placed in my domain.

I can’t reach the exit all my life.

With that in mind, Bil Tane held up her sword and started walking towards Irene again.

Biltein could easily guess why he didn’t give up.

Probably waiting for support from those below.

However, they couldn’t come this far. Gargoyles cannot be killed by non-dragons.

Even if Theorad expands his territory and endures, he will be able to simply endure, and in the end, he will be the one who wins in the long battle.

Chuck, Irene’s footsteps, which had been running for a while, were blocked in front of a wall.

Obviously, it was an invisible wall.

Irene, biting her lip, looked at Viltein approaching me.

I had to dodge the next attack. But after avoiding it, what should I do next?

Purple eyes flashed in the dark shadows.

Sigh, Irene drew her breath and turned her gaze towards her looming despair.

“If I had been calm…I wouldn’t have treated you so harshly.”

Guo-o- The shadows began to gather towards Viltein.

Like the hollow of a great abyss, all the lights were sucked into the darkness and disappearing.

The space where no light survives,

Irene’s body, which was bound in the realm of Biltain, began to slowly erode.

“What would change if I waited? Ultimately, it’s destiny. Irene Uris.”

Irene’s eyes gradually began to blur. Darkness eating her body,

She tried to struggle because she couldn’t move. Nothing… Has changed.

Suddenly, Irene’s breathing stopped as the darkness engulfed her body.

It felt like I was not going to die, but that I would be bound by darkness forever.

Sacrificial, Irene thought of the word and quietly looked at Viltein.

She was resentful of herself. She couldn’t do anything in this situation,

She couldn’t be so resentful of herself for being a burden to Evan.

If only she hadn’t been captured by Biltain. Hardly, Irene gritted her teeth for the last time.

By the time the penetrating shadow gradually eats up her body and swallows her face completely,

Bil Thein raised her sword and put it back into her belt. Everything is over

The plan was also to be completed successfully, and on the day the red moon rises… The curtain on the play will begin as long as the empire perishes.

In the pitch-black darkness, a single tear flowed from Irene’s eyes.

My body, soaked in despair and helplessness, stopped moving.

With her consciousness fading, Irene thought of Evan for the last time.

…There were so many things I wanted to say, but can we meet now?

When she met her, she didn’t know what to say to him.

Regret,

Grief,

Despair,

Repentance.

Dark and muddy emotions wrapped around her body like a mist.

Since I closed my eyes and saw nothing, it was darkness.

Irene released her power to let go of everything. A fading consciousness, and a blurring vision.

But what the hell is the light in front of me?

At that moment, Irene realized that the darkness that enveloped her body was changing.

With a flash, Irene felt the darkness gradually lift.

The darkness was melting like wax in the cozy, warm light.

Flames, flames that were purer than any other light wrapped around his body.

Was there any mana left? For a while, I felt confused by the sudden change,

Eventually, Irene’s head slowly lifted at the voice that pierced her ears.

“My lady.”

I could see green eyes that looked like they were crafted with all the forests in the world.

I saw the face of a knight smiling at me, surrounded by white flames.

Seeing the corner of her mouth gently bent, Irene reached out her hand.

Fantastic? Illusion? No, she didn’t know that maybe she’d die and see her again.

When her outstretched hand finally touched her face.

I finally realized that the person in front of me was not an illusion.

“…Evan?”

Hearing the trembling voice, Evan smiled.

I lightly squeezed Irene’s hand and placed it on her chest, letting me feel her heartbeat.

I was able to completely awaken dragon blood only after gaining an enlightenment in the world of resuscitation and imagery.

One spinning mana emitted intense mana.

The radiance that wrapped around the surroundings, the flash emitted by the light spirit covered Biltain’s vision.

“Didn’t I promise to stay by your side? I’m here to keep my promise.”

There were many things I wanted to say. Didn’t she think about this or that while looking at her brother?

Evan smiled bitterly as he gently stroked Irene’s tear-soaked cheek.

She also cried because of herself. She swore she wouldn’t cry…

Slightly frowning at her rising guilt, she cautiously opened her mouth again.

“…There were a lot of things I wanted to say. Now that I look at it, I don’t know what to say.”

“Evan.”

I feel like I’m speechless and stifled. Irene blankly touched Evan’s face.

Her soft touch and her body temperature, which I always felt, came through.

When Evan, who was holding her around her waist, blushed slightly,

The corners of her mouth curled at her laughter that erupted involuntarily.

Alive. Not realizing that fact yet, Irene slowly pursed her lips.

“…Are you alive?”

“Exactly, they survived. It doesn’t change the fact that your heart was stabbed.”

The feeling of my heart exploding, it wasn’t a very good feeling.

She didn’t want to feel it again, and she wouldn’t create a situation where she would feel that way anymore.

Hwaaak- Light emanated from Evan’s back. It wasn’t bad to stay like this,

Didn’t Viltain still remain? It would have been more appropriate to resolve everything after this battle was over.

The time this light remained was not very long. A few seconds at most.

Evan raised his mana and looked at Irene again.

How painful she must have been while she thought she was dead.

I was truly grateful that she was still alive.

If only Irene had died when she opened her eyes. After she killed Bil Thein, she might have taken her own life.

Evan looked at Irene.

While sweeping down his moist cheeks, his wet eyes.

“…I missed you.”

Evan murmured softly.

In her image, even while facing her younger brother, the only thought that came to mind was worrying about Irene.

Will she be able to survive with her own mana? Will she be able to get out? She’s not confident

Can she not collapse? However, Irene persevered admirably.

As Evan gently brushed her wet hair and smiled softly,

When Irene saw that smile, she followed suit and smiled lightly.

… I wanted to hug her and kiss her right away. Can’t you do that now?

Evan’s hair fluttered in the radiance. The shadows cast beneath her face,

Evan was laughing in the rising dawn.

Isn’t it amazing how just looking at her smile makes her feel at ease.

Irene quietly felt Evan’s heartbeat.

It was an embarrassing position, but I wasn’t ashamed of it anymore.

There was a sense of relief in the sound of her pulse in her ears, in the sound of her calmly ringing breath.

Her blue eyes turned to her own knight again. She

Because she lost once, she suddenly realized his presence.

Irene laughed quietly. She couldn’t get away from the one who wrapped her arms around my waist, because she couldn’t lift herself.

She is happy to see him again.

Side,

She quietly kissed her own knight, who stared blankly at me.
