Episode 135
Se-Ri lifted the cloth with her cane, a memento left by King Seong.
Auspicious light was leaking from the cloth.
[Miquet Nirangdam Ileeias]
Annelin, who muttered the dragon, changed back to her human form.
Henna cleared her throat when she saw Anneline, who had returned to her human form.
Anneline was wearing a jet-black dress, and her back was completely sunken.
From the back, it looked like she wasn’t wearing any clothes.
“boy. You won the bet.”
Anneline smiled pleasantly.
In the meantime, an unknown pattern began to be engraved on Anneline’s back.
Vinchen noticed that mana was turbulent.
‘This feeling is similar to a chain ceremony.’
It seemed that some kind of curse had been activated.
Julian discovered the pattern engraved on Anneline’s back.
-It’s like the pattern engraved on my mother’s back.
In the end, the pattern that took Sarvina’s life.
Something that could not be interpreted by human knowledge and wisdom settled on Anneline’s back.
“You know this pattern, right?”
“…seems to know.”
“What else is the same?”
“My mother died after giving birth to me.”
Anneline giggled.
“Cheongwa is a fruit containing the miracle of God. Would God just give us a miracle like that? Of course, a worthy sacrifice is required.”
So the dragon killed non-Hisley humans to give them heavenly fruits.
For the perfect completion of the cloth.
“In the end, someone has to die. Oh and did you say your name was Seri? You can give it to Vinchen now. Since it has already been completed, even if Vincen touches it, it will not disappear.”
In the meantime,
the Holy King’s staff, which had done its part, disappeared.
Vincent said.
“So you bet?”
It seemed that Anneline had suggested a ‘death bet’ for this.
Because someone has to die in order to really complete the cheongwa.
In fact, she had been expecting death for a long time.
“If I were going to die, I wanted to die gracefully.”
“….”
“If you are truly a person who seeks the truth, have I not done my job?”
Anneline showed her back to Vincen.
“how is it? Is your sister pretty?”
“….”
Hena stood in front of Vincen.
It was as if they were blocking something they shouldn’t be seeing.
Anneline looked at the henna with interest.
“I liked you. So let me tell you a few more things. one. Since the cloth is artificially made, you will have to eat it quickly. It will be gone within an hour.”
“…”
“Two. It has to do with the ring you both share. At that time, Hellaim loved Abeltan very much, right?”
“It sounds like you are referring to the first Lord of Hellaim.”
“okay. I think I’ve been chasing Abeltan for about 10 years. Then I made that ring. Hellaim added a special feature to it.”
“What is it?”
“Give me.”
Anneline flicked her fingers.
Henna placed the ring on Anneline’s hand without much suspicion.
Anneline infused the ring with mana.
The blue jewel engraved in the center of the ring shimmered.
“Helaim was a guy who would give his life for Abeltan. This ring is for that purpose. You can bring all the bad things that happen to Abeltan yourself. whether it be an attack, a disease, or pain. I can only use it once.”
Annelin snapped her fingers and a chair was created.
Anneline sat cross-legged and rested her chin on her hand.
“ruler. Shall we see then? The final scene of my tomb.”
* * *
Vinchen looked down at the fruit in his hand.
‘I really got the heavenly fruit.’
I thought it would be possible in a few years.
I ended up getting the cheongwa much faster than I thought.
– Are you going to eat right away?
‘I have to eat.’
It was said that it was the fruit of God’s miracle.
You don’t know what effect it will have on your body.
However, I couldn’t think and consider many things.
Vincen’s ‘sacrum’ starved for too long and if left unattended, his bones would decay within a few years.
He had no choice.
‘eat.’
Vinchen put the cloth into his mouth.
At the same time, the cloth melted and flowed into Vincen’s esophagus and into his body.
“Kuk.”
Vinchen grabbed his chest and collapsed.
It felt like my heart was on fire.
“Vinchen! are you okay?”
Henna hurriedly helped Vinchen.
At that moment
, Vinchen unconsciously pushed Henna away.
Henna couldn’t overcome Vincen’s power and floated in the air, crashing into a wall far away.
‘sister…!’
It had nothing to do with Vinchen’s intentions.
My body just moved on its own and that hurt Henna.
The wall that Henna hit had a significant crack.
A thin stream of blood flowed from Henna’s mouth.
“Aagh!”
Vincent screamed.
Yulian was dazed for a moment.
‘Is my older brother screaming like this?’
Vinchen doesn’t blink an eye at the slightest amount of pain.
It is a monster that does not change its complexion even if it is crushed by dragon pressure.
The monster was screaming.
A voice was heard.
“Hold on. If you can’t hold out, you die.”
Anneline still looked at Vincen with her chin resting on her chin.
She wiggled her toes.
“If you really seek the truth, you should live. That way my end won’t be funny.”
Vincent screamed.
It was as if the whole bone was burning.
It was like being thrown into hellfire.
It feels like your skin is burning, your bones are melting, and your whole body is crumbling to ashes.
It was a pain I had never experienced before.
Than when a sword was stabbed in the heart.
Than when the red yellow rice power destroys the magic circuit of the whole body.
A more painful burning sensation dominated Vincen’s body.
Vinchen’s consciousness drifted away.
-Brother, wake up, please!
Anneline sighed and sighed.
There was a slight disappointment in her eyes.
“Tsk, no matter how much… Was it impossible with that body?”
And Julian thought.
‘I have to bring some of the pain.’
Julian now trusted Vinchen.
I believed that Vinchen would be able to overcome any adversity.
‘All I have to do is bring a little, just a spoonful of pain.’
Then Vinchen will take care of the rest.
Yulian inspected the divine instrument.
Fortunately, there were enough of them.
It seemed that it was because he ate a cloth fruit that contained divine power.
‘Whoa. Bring…!’
Julian was not as accustomed to suffering as Vinchen.
So I was very scared.
‘Aaaaaaaagh!’
Yulian raised a miracle and raised the synchronization with Vinchen to the maximum.
I brought some of the pain Vinchen was feeling.
To help Vinchen come to his senses.
Any little help would be appreciated.
‘I think the cow will disappear.’
Even though it only brought a small amount of pain.
Yulian felt the fear of extinction.
It was such a powerful pain that it could annihilate a minor deity like himself in one fell swoop.
He couldn’t even scream.
I had no idea.
And then.
Henna opened her mouth.
“Did you say it can also bring pain?”
“okay.”
“okay.”
“why? bring it?”
“yes.”
“Then you die too. He’s holding on like that because he has that kind of personality. If it were normal kids, they’d already be burned to death.”
“He is my brother.”
Hena was well aware that Vincen’s pushing her was unintentional.
I got closer to Vincent.
Then I asked.
“How can I use the power of the ring?”
“Oh, kiss the ring.”
Henna kissed the ring.
Nothing happened.
“It’s bullshit.”
“…”
“Just infuse mana normally. The more mana you generate, the more pain you will bring.”
Henna raised mana.
Every image of her spurted mana furiously.
She activated the maximum amount of mana available.
The ring of the first head of Hellaim accepted that mana.
At the same time, Henna screamed.
Crying!
coughed up blood
‘I have to endure.’
It was unknown how much pain Vincen was enduring.
However, he must be enduring a greater pain than himself.
As the older sister, she tried to appear not ashamed.
Anneline wiggled her feet.
I moved my fingers to float Se-ri’s body so that she came next to me, and I patted her on the shoulder.
“Is it very upsetting?”
“…”
Se-ri was crying.
It was painful to see Vinchen writhing in pain.
“You are a descendant of Besatul.”
Seri couldn’t answer.
just cried
It was so hard that nothing could help.
“Besatul was just like you. When Aslan suffered, he suffered even more.”
The tax collector knelt down and begged.
“I want to help too. please. Please help me to ease the pain of Confucius.”
“now. The child of Besatul. Calm down.”
Anneline got down from her chair and lowered herself.
She met her eyes.
“Look into my eyes.”
Seri looked into Anneline’s eyes as if possessed by something.
The focus disappeared from Seri’s eyes.
“If Besa’tul and I were forgotten, your special body would have been forgotten too. yes?”
“…yes.”
“Your special body is a body that the Hisley family has been studying for a very long time. It is called a magical body, and it is possible to create it artificially. Are you listening to me?”
“…yes.”
“The magic body is actually simple. It’s a body that automatically accepts mana. Where did that quality actually come from?”
“…”
Said muttered as if possessed.
“dragon. Supremacy of magic.”
Anneline chuckled.
“okay. The characteristics of dragons were learned by the people of Heathley. So listen carefully to the Child of Besatul. This is the magic that activates the magical body.”
Anneline’s eyes glowed golden.
Seri’s body trembled.
“I can be forgotten by humans, but Besa’Tul and Hisley must not be forgotten. So, never forget what I taught you. Grow up later and raise Heathley’s honor with him. Make people remember Besa’tul. Got it?”
And then.
Vincent stood up.
Anneline looked at Vincen.
She couldn’t take her eyes off Vinchen.
“Hmm.”
Vinchen successfully consumed the fruit.
I thought I would die with a high probability, but I survived fine.
“Prayer has changed a lot.”
Vinchen couldn’t answer Anneline’s words.
Vincenza sat cross-legged and immersed himself in meditation.
The pain subsided, but mana was still pulsating in his body.
“Come to think of it, you were a sacrum. It’s been 500 years since I’ve seen it, so I forgot.”
Anneline laughed.
Vinchen’s skeleton was bigger than before.
Judging by his outward appearance, he was a mature young man.
“The sacrum, which handles mana, not images, absorbed the Celestial Fruit. It reminds me of the past.”
Vincent opened his eyes.
Vinchen’s eyes were dyed red.
“Haa-”
I breathed.
I felt a lot more energy than before.
The whole body was energized.
Even as a one-armed Daven, it was a liveliness I had never felt before.
I could feel it while making the magic rotation.
The sacrum has been restored.
Vinchen stood up from her seat.
Annelin said.
“I will swear.”
The present Vinchen was stronger than any fourteen warriors she had ever seen.
I didn’t have to limit myself to fourteen.
throughout her entire life.
“I don’t know if you’re really a seeker of the truth.”
Still, one thing was certain.
“Looks like a hero was born from my grave.”
