182. Sunset
#182
The body cut into seven pieces collapsed. Blue blood poured out like an explosion and covered Ronan.
Darman’s head rolled over and landed at his feet. A voice that seemed to be squeezed out came out of his mouth which had not yet stopped breathing.
【Yes…you guy.】
“Guts is useful.”
Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. Even though his head was cut off his speaking skills seemed to be better than the original. Darman who was glaring at Ronan with his eyes fluttering sighed.
“…I lost.”
The magnificent voice had suddenly returned to its original state. The skin which was as white as a sheet of paper was once again turning an apricot color.
The sight of blood that was as blue as the sky slowly turning red gave the impression that something that was in Darman was leaking out. Soul or life or something like that. Ronan the leader placed one foot on his neck.
“How much is left?”
“Three minutes at most.”
“Then tell me this before you go. “What do you mean we’re suddenly not brothers?”
There were a lot of things I wanted to ask but the thing I was most curious about was the secret of my birth. Actually I didn’t have much expectations. There was no reason for the dying Darman to answer Ronan’s questions. But he opened his mouth without showing any sign.
“Do I need an explanation? It’s literally like that.”
“Then why do you and I look so similar?”
“Well… now that I think about it I’m really curious. “I definitely thought you were a direct child of the cult leader just like me…”
Darman trailed off his horse. His eyes were slowly fading away. He could instinctively sense that he did not have much time left.
“What is certain is that you are not the cult leader’s child…I have never had a younger sibling like you.”
“That’s a good thing. “I’m sure it’s not a lie.”
“Rest assured. Even though I have lived a life full of lies… I want to end it with the truth…”
Darman sighed in resignation. He was going to die anyway so he really was going to tell me everything. Ronan pressed the tip of his foot against the crook of his neck.
“You speak well. Then while you’re at it tell me why you came here. “You guys are here too.”
“It won’t be difficult…nothing.”
oh. Are you really saying this? Ronan was waiting for an answer with an expectant expression. A creepy murderous spirit emanated from a corner of my vision.
Ronan turned his head. Particles of light were gathering in Darman’s cut hand which was rolling around on the floor. After realizing the situation he cursed.
“What a bitch…”
“Enjoy the rest of your life which is only a moment.”
Ronan tugged at the hilt of his sword. Darman’s grip clenched his fist. Kwaaaaang! As the explosion exploded a pillar of light rose into the sky.
Ronan cut through the explosion and jumped from his seat at the same time. Although it was much smaller than before it was powerful enough to collapse the already weakened bedrock. It was the moment he crossed the swallow and landed. The crack where Ronan and Darman were gradually widened and collapsed.
As the light subsided the wind blew away the smoke. Ronan walked to the edge of the crater and lowered his gaze. Darman’s flesh which had been torn beyond recognition was falling down the mountain along with the rocks. He muttered softly.
“You fucking bastard.”
For a moment I thought he had come to his senses but that was the case. I was able to recognize once again that the way to save the world is to oust these bastards as quickly as possible. I could no longer feel the sparkling mana around me. As soon as he finished his body suddenly began to feel heavy. Suddenly a voice came from behind.
“Ronan! Are you okay?”
“Hehe…is everyone alive?”
Ronan turned his head. The survivors including Nabirose and Schlieffen were gathered together and looking up at him. Everyone looked healthy except for Jaifa and Alogin who were sitting side by side on a rock. Ronan said pointing at them with his finger.
“What happened to those two?”
“They are both alive. I found a potion in the arms of a dead participant. “If we move him to the ward quickly he will be fine.”
Indeed I could see Jaifa’s shoulders rising and falling slightly. Ronan breathed a sigh of relief. Schlieffen who was staring at him opened his mouth.
“Have you finally developed your Aura? “What an amazing achievement.”
“Hey you idiot…does that matter now?”
Ronan laughed. Schlieffen’s blood-covered eyes always glowed the same dark blue. Among the injured many were wearing bandages made from torn uniforms. I wanted to punch him because he was so disgusting and weird but his feet wouldn’t come off easily.
Suddenly Ajie who had collapsed and turned into a turtle caught his eye. I don’t know if the wound was burned or not but there was no blood flowing from the clean cut surface. Ronan pointed at her with the tip of her chin.
“Is that thing alive?”
“okay. “I don’t think I can last long.”
“Try to survive as best as you can. Because there is a lot of information to extract…”
“Of course. “Your complexion hasn’t been very good since a while ago are you okay?”
Nabirose asked worriedly. Ronan responded by raising his thumb. Of course it wasn’t okay at all. She continued running a hand through her hair as if to reassure her.
“Thank goodness. “What on earth was that just now?”
“They are bastards who deserve to urinate on the grave… That’s right everyone must have seen it.”
Ronan looked around. More than ten people were all standing dumbfounded. It seemed that there was no one who did not see Darman transformed into a giant.
“aha.”
Ronan laughed. Now I have a reason not to be called a crazy person even if I tell the truth about the future. I had a feeling that a lot of things would change in the future.
‘Uncle Balon will like it. No I’m going to collapse with foam at the mouth.’
Ronan who had anticipated the Emperor’s reaction chuckled. Suddenly he completed his first mission. For the results of her first mission this didn’t seem too bad. She also had guidance from Russell. Nabirose gestured to him.
“But how long do you plan to stay there? Come down slowly.”
“Wait a minute… the scenery is really pretty…”
Instead of going down Ronan slowly raised his head. In fact this was the summit of Farzan. The scenery of Farzan including the holy site came into view at a glance. The cool wind was blowing through my bangs.
The sunset at its peak was beautiful. The sun had already disappeared beyond the horizon in the west. A halo of purple light was mixing with red wet clouds and melting into the sky.
Tens of thousands of weapons were emitting light. The sound of the wind blowing between the blades sounded like a requiem for those who lost their lives during this festival. The faces of people I had a brief relationship with passed before my eyes. Russell Riley Fox Knight Madame Olga. and….
Ronan suddenly lowered his gaze and looked at the sword in his hand. The black and white sword body like other swords contained the color of the sky. Ronan who was swinging her blade around and looking at it against the setting sun opened her mouth.
“You had a hard time.”
There was no reply but he could feel Rin nodding her head. Ronan who turned his gaze to the sunset again grinned. dump. His slowly leaning body fell backwards.
“…I am!”
“Cut it out…!”
My eyelids drooped quickly. The feeling of sinking into deep water enveloped her entire body. Nabirose and Schlieffen were shouting something in the dark. I wanted to tell him to come a little closer because I couldn’t hear him well but my voice didn’t come out.
****
“Umm….”
Ronan opened his eyes. The first thing I saw was the pure white ceiling. The white finish that somehow made her feel at ease was something she definitely remembered seeing somewhere.
“This is….”
He slowly raised his upper body. I saw rows of beds and various medical equipment. The ivory curtains were swaying in the wind that seeped in through the half-open window. It was clearly the infirmary located in the Gallerion Pavilion in Phileon.
“Fuck. “How long have I slept?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. It took a week just one way and I had no idea how much I had slept. The wind tickling the bridge of her nose smelled like acacia. There was a warmth in the air that had not been felt in Farzan.
“hmm…?”
Ronan suddenly felt a weight around his thighs and lowered his head. The jet-black hair contrasting with the white blanket caught the eye. A familiar woman was lying face down using her arm as a pillow.
“senior?”
“Wait a minute….”
It was Adeshan. Ronan nudged her cheek with his index finger and she rolled her eyes.
Adeshan’s face which had just woken up was extremely haggard. Her skin was pale and her eyes were dark making her look like she hadn’t slept in days. Ronan silently reached out and removed a strand of her hair from around her mouth. Ade Shan’s eyes widened as she blinked half asleep.
“Ronan.”
“Did you stay up all night?”
“You’re finally awake! Are you okay? “There was no trauma but I was so worried because she couldn’t open her eyes…!”
Adeshan hurriedly explained what had happened. Today was exactly 9 days since the unconscious Ronan returned from Farzan. She and her friends from the Erzébet Express Adventure Club took turns visiting her in the hospital and as if to disprove him there was a mountain of things like her letters and foods that looked good for the body on the nightstand next to her bed.
“Ahrera. Damn I’ve been lying down for a long time.”
“I’m really glad you’re safe though. That’s right. “What did you just do…”
Ade Shan stopped her rambling speech and touched the corner of her own mouth. The corners of her mouth were moist. She raised her eyes as she confirmed that what she had seen was not her dream.
“I don’t know! So this is…”
Her white face brightened up. She desperately tried to explain why her liquid was leaking out of her mouth with all her hand gestures. Ronan who was watching her laughed. He slowly stretched out his arms and hugged Ade Shan without saying a word.
“…Ronan?”
Ade Shan sighed. She sucked in a breath. Since there were only two people in her nurse’s office she could hear her heart beating louder even without her ears. Ronan said.
“thank you.”
“Why are you saying thank you…? “First of all let’s start with this…”
“In many ways. “Thanks to you my Aurors have also blossomed.”
Her panicked Ade Shan struggled but Ronan did not let her go. Ronan spoke in that same posture about the flowering of Aurors at the summit of Farzan. Adeshan’s hair which remained black even when exposed to light smelled of snow and wild flowers. At some point she stopped resisting and buried her face in Ronan’s shoulder.
“…Good.”
The two stayed like that for a while. The body temperature coming through the fabric was warm. Ronan who felt somewhat at ease was dozing off again. A low raspy voice came from somewhere.
“Oh did it happen?”
“Kyaak!”
It was a familiar voice. Adeshan startled quickly pulled away. Ronan turned her head in the direction of the sound. A black man was standing with his back against the wall of the infirmary.
“…Zaifa?”
“It’s nice to see yeah. “It reminds me of when her wife was alive.”
It was definitely Jaifa. When she saw that Ronan was awake she smiled baring her fangs. Her black chest was covered with thick bandages that looked like they could stop the bleeding even on an elephant. Ronan laughed when he saw him munching on a melon as if it were an apple.
“Are you alive?”
“okay. It’s very shameful though. “For the first time I understood how the snake felt.”
Jaifa sighed. He explained that within a day of being transferred to the ward he had fully recovered. I remember him losing so much blood that I thought his heart might have been cut in half but he was a great guy anyway. He continued.
“Anyway I’m glad you’re safe too. “There are many stories to share.”
“right.”
“It’s a bit much to bother someone who just woke up so come back later. “Still please have a brief conversation with this customer.”
“customer?”
Ronan tilted her head. Jaifa silently turned away from the wall and gestured through the half-open door. Squeak – The door opened completely and another giant came in cautiously. It was a werelion woman with beautiful cream-colored fur. Ronan’s eyes widened.
“you are…!”
“It’s been a while.”
The Were Lion bowed her head. She was Major Nemea the only survivor on the day of the massacre of the Dawn Unit. Jaifa said patting her on the shoulder.
“okay. My lieutenant has something to say. “In relation to what happened that day.”
