The first Yora (3)
time was approaching 9 p.m.
There was a bloody smell coming from the temple’s engine room storage room or the basement where the field rats’ hideout was located.
It was the smell of human and other goblin blood.
“Keeee!”
Kido, holding the double-edged spear wide, rolled on the floor with his amber pupils flashing and spun on his back,
looking like an ant hell with dozens of blades.
“Jincheon magic.”
Anchal’s magic eye flashed.
“A mighty giant.”
The bricks on the ceiling hollowed out like water drops and turned into giant feet, hitting Kido down.
Kido’s eyes grew as if they were about to pop out, and his body went inwards as if it had been stamped into the dirt.
Natasha moved.
‘I blocked it.’
What she was aiming for was not Kido, but Uorin, who was clinging closely to the wall
.
‘I just have to kill that thing, right?’
The moment she rushed at the speed of sound and stabbed the capital towards the nape of Wuorin’s neck.
“Big!”
Kido, who had pushed away the giant’s foot, blocked the way and grabbed Natasha’s wrist.
Although it was not pushed away by Ji Bakryeong’s power, the sonic shock wave was transmitted intact.
“Wow!”
Natasha turned her head to avoid Kido’s blood.
“…It’s a truly amazing animal.” Kido, covered in blood all over his body, showed his sharp teeth to prove his fighting spirit.
“Keuuuu!”
“You’re slower than me, how can you catch me?”
At that moment, Wu Orin, whose face was pale, fell to the ground and gasped.
“ha. ha.”
I thought he was dead.
The speed was so fast that Natasha felt pain penetrating her neck.
‘But… it’s an illusion?’
Even though I experienced the same thing dozens of times after the battle started, I still couldn’t get used to it.
What is death?
‘It can’t end like this. I have to live.’
Sirone.
“Kido.”
The moment the words escaped between gritted teeth, Rai cut Kido’s side.
“Tsk!”
Kido’s pupils were shaking, but Rai was displeased with the lukewarm taste of his hands.
‘I couldn’t cut it.’
The moment the blade entered, it activated its incredible flexibility, causing the sword’s trajectory to diverge.
‘You’re more sensitive than me?’
No, he blocks the giant’s mighty power and even captures Natyasa’s speed, which is difficult to follow with the eyes.
‘It’s a monster in another sense.’
Wuorin asked.
“Is your height okay?”
“??????okay.”
“help me. I must live. know?”
“??????okay.”
She did not feel disappointed because only Sirone lived in her heart.
but.
‘Water…’
I was thirsty again.
‘Why are you doing this?’
Like when I guarded Andre’s Labyrinth, I feel like I will dry up if I don’t fill it with something.
“Ha!”
Almost instinctively, Kido opened his mouth wide and bit down on Natasha’s arm, which he was holding.
“Wow! “Shoot!”
Natasha remained motionless as she tore the flesh with her fangs and sucked the blood that flowed out.
Then, when Kido raised his head with glossy lips, he slowly backed away and asked.
“…is my blood delicious?”
“That’s foolish.”
Rai approached with his sword hanging down.
“It eats other people’s memories. That guy’s skills are made up of the talents of many people. I can’t believe you gave me your Avatar art so easily. “The battle will become more difficult in the future.”
“okay?”
Natasha shrugged.
“But I was curious. “What does it feel like to have my body eaten by another living thing?”
There was no reason to cooperate since their nationalities were different anyway, but Rai did not like it.
“You’re giving away your talent just out of curiosity
?”
“haha! is it?”
Rai, who thought he was not someone he could communicate with, sighed and looked back at Kido.
‘Did you absorb it as expected?’
Even the look in his eyes had changed, and in fact, Natasha’s blood was passing through Kido’s veins and transmitting memories.
‘This woman.’
Kido’s nose twitched.
“
Before being a genius… ….
“How much training have you had?”
The number of walls she had to overcome before she could use Shinigami’s martial arts while her spine was broken.
“well.”
It was not something Kido could dare absorb.
“I just did it until it worked.” Rai’s face distorted.
‘Until?’
Isn’t that a contradiction?
‘You just have to keep doing it until you get it right? Because that doesn’t work, the world is unfair. That’s why I’m talking about talent.’
Rai suddenly stopped thinking.
talent talent talent.
‘Rian, that idiot…
was a swordsman with no talent like fingernails.
Natasha said.
“what? I see a nail. I was looking forward to seeing how goblins dance. “Then can we start again?”
“Cough!”
Fresh blood spurted from Kido’s neck again.
“Kido!”
Wuorin’s nervous voice brought his spirit back from death.
‘I know, I know.’
Now I can’t die at will.
“Ugh.”
Just when Kido, who had recovered his lost spirit, was about to run out again, Natasha stopped.
“ah-ha, I see.”
Then he pointed to Wuorin and asked.
“Do you love this woman?”
It was as if he were saying how a goblin or something could love the Empress….
“Come on.”
Kido’s heart was drying up even more.
That moment.
“yes.”
Anchal’s voice was heard.
“Yes, it’s okay. “Please speak.”
The bell-shaped earrings were just shaking, but it seemed like he was having a conversation with someone.
“I haven’t processed it yet. But soon… Yes, I understand. “Yes, I will.”
The order was to return to the Jincheon sector.
‘I can’t believe I missed all the fish I caught.’
It would have been a huge catch for the Empress of Kashan, but Anchal also had no complaints about this order.
‘Really? To Perm Gwangcheonseong… Because there was nothing more important than rescuing Jinseongeum, the princess of Jincheon.
“Empress.”
Anchal, who was trying to say something to Wuorin, shook his head as if it was pointless
and backed away.
‘Princess, please be patient.’ A naughty little girl was born, and her body disappeared as if it were being sucked into the spirit world.
Natasha broke the silence and spoke.
“I want to stop too. The time Balkan spoke of has passed. Tormia takes the Empress.”
Rai was speechless.
Although Gustav was originally insane, he was a soldier who obeyed orders.
‘The problem is…
I can never defeat Kido on my own.
“let’s go. “We have to run now.”
Kido, who was pulling Uorin’s arm, slowly moved while observing the two people’s gaze.
Natasha waved her hand.
“cheer up. “Actually, I don’t think it’s the look that a woman would like, but the heart is what’s important.”
Although he couldn’t express it because he had no eyelids, he seemed to be smiling.
“Keeeeee.”
Kido left a threatening sound as he disappeared into the darkness, but Natasha was at ease.
“Shall I go soon?”
“wait.”
Rai called.
“huh?”
“Did you say you can just keep doing it until you get it right?” Natasha, who knew what Rai meant, looked embarrassed.
‘Daphne.’
This is because she now understands the feeling of defeat a little after being cut by Lian.
“sorry. I didn’t mean it that way. “I’m just saying… that’s the case in my case.”
Rai was picky.
“There is no need to pity me. What I want to know is the fact and the truth. “Do you really think so?”
“Hmm, if you ask that much. Wow, that’s right. I just did it until it worked. Honestly, I think that’s it. “After fighting with that person, I became more confident.”
“that person?”
“It’s called Augent Lian… Rai’s eyebrows twitched.
“That’s right, if it’s the same prosecutor, I’d understand. “I heard that he is unrivaled in swordsmanship.”
“Of course I know. “Because he is my younger brother.”
“Hoo.”
Natasha pressed her lips together.
“Are you really Lian’s older brother? “ But it’s completely
different.”
“What does it mean?”
“This is it. You attach meaning to every word. That guy was the exact opposite. “I’m just saying that because our hair color is different and we don’t really associate with each other.” She pointed to herself.
“I lost to Lian.”
‘I guess so.’
Having seen Natasha’s power with her own eyes, she knew how high Ryan was.
“That was the first time I learned what defeat meant. “Maybe the reason he was able to beat me was because he was aiming for a higher place than me.”
“Becoming the best prosecutor is what everyone dreams of. But not everyone can be the best. I don’t think my efforts are inferior to his. “If all you do is do it until you get it, why can’t everyone become stronger?”
Natasha chuckled.
“You really don’t know anything.”
“what?”
“sorry. I’m not ignoring it. “Actually, I’m a dancer, so my field is different, but I think the meaning of working hard until you achieve something is different from working hard and working efficiently for a month.”
“Then what is it?”
Natasha raised her index finger.
“It means doing everything you can.” Rai was dazed.
“Learning something means imprinting that skill on your body. So what should it be engraved with? As far as I know there is only one. “It’s pain.”
Natasha continued.
“People are selfish and have a habit of repeating the same mistakes. That’s why I engrave it with pain. Because…
Natasha said, recalling the years of hardship.
“Humans never repeat the same pain.”
Rai frowned.
‘Are you saying I’m lazy?’
Maybe so, but he has never sought comfort since being overtaken by Lian.
” I am??????
“Yeah, I know.”
Natasha knew what he was talking about.
“But you keep doing that hard work over and over again. Whatever you did, if you can do it again, it means it wasn’t painful enough. Of course, my skills will improve, but I can’t overcome the wall at that level.”
wall.
Something that Rian had and that he did not have.
‘ is it?’
That guy every moment….
“Do you want to climb over the wall?”
Natasha said.
“Then engrave your skills on your body. With such terrible pain that I could never do it again. When it hurt so much that she was sure she couldn’t do this again…
She moved her index and middle fingers and drew a parabola.
“Humans go beyond their limits.”
“At every moment…
was he pushing himself into territory that could never be repeated?
Natyasha, seeing Rai’s blank expression, turned around.
“So goodbye.”
“wait.”
“What else?”
Natasha turned around with a blank expression.
“Why are you telling me this? Tormia is Gustav’s enemy country, and in the temple…
“What’s so complicated? It would be good if we let each other know and help each other. “You like swords too, right?”
She sighed as Rai still stood there with an uncomprehending look on his face.
“It’s really different. “Even though we are brothers.”
Soon a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
“…Is it because I’m not like other people?”
It was true that Rai’s jealousy and nervousness reminded him of his old friend Daphne.
Although she broke Natasha’s back, Rai hoped it would be a different outcome.
“I hope it goes well. “Goodbye, Ye Min-nam.”
Even she disappeared into the darkness, and Rai muttered in the empty basement.
“Mr. Yeminnam?”
Then he suddenly frowned and sunk his sword into the hard stone floor.
“Damn it! You’re making fun of me!”
