absurdity.
absurdity.
Dilgent nodded.
“I readily admit it. Killing you and killing the woman who was my father’s wife. In fact, it was all my personal revenge. There were other ways to do it without killing them, but I didn’t feel the need to do that.”
[What…?]
No matter what Katus muttered, Dilgent continued his words.
“My mother was originally my father’s maid. The two met each other’s eyes. The thing is, my father, Avad Finisho, had a fiancé. As you know, isn’t my father a very weak and gentle man? So my father couldn’t even break the engagement and run away with my mother. In addition, my mother couldn’t give birth to a healthy son and gave birth to a hunchback. That’s me.”
Dilgent straightened his straight back and giggled.
“Thanks to that, my father made it more difficult for me to reveal my existence. Of course, like an indecisive father, he couldn’t even throw me out. So my father hid me and my mother instead. My mother and I settled in a city that was a little far away and lived without lacking with my father’s support. The problem arose when my father’s wife noticed the flow of money.”
Katus intuited the words that would flow out later.
“One day strangers appeared and burned down the house where my mother and I lived and killed her and all of our servants. In fact, I was also hung on the wall that day with my heart pierced. when I was out of breath Do you know what I was thinking?”
The monster couldn’t say anything. Dilgent shrugged and laughed.
“Because anyone is fine, I begged him to save me. The blazing fire was too hot. And on that day, I faced a miracle. The Goddess of Healing and Health looked down upon me. With divinity, my body returned to the form it should have been. Oh Goddess.”
Dilgent paused for a moment before opening his mouth again.
“At first, I thought my father sent someone because he didn’t want to apply anymore, but later I found out that my father’s wife realized the existence of my mother and me and tried to get rid of them. Anyway, I lived really hard as a priest of the Restoration Church. Just as I was saved, I hoped that other less fortunate people would be saved with my little help. The Goddess must have chosen me because she knew I would.”
The explanation that started as if a dam had burst did not know how to end. Dilgent was excited and made a noise.
“I did not neglect to sharpen my strength. Even while helping others. Then, by chance, an opportunity came to me and I was able to work under His Majesty the Emperor. I continued to do good deeds and prepared step by step.”
He recalled stroking the sword tied to his waist. memories of that day.
“The first thing I did was to take revenge on the people who set my house on fire that day and who killed my mother, one by one. They killed their children before their eyes and tore their wives with these hands. Other family members, if any, too. You know what?”
Dilgent put his hands together and wiped his face.
“Real revenge is sweeter than imagined. It’s really exciting. After processing them one by one, only the last one was left. And then, very coincidentally, I was given an assignment related to my father. oh poor father It must have been because of the pressure from his mother’s family that he joined the anti-war faction, who had no idea in the first place. Well, it’s a story that doesn’t matter anyway. Do you understand now why I killed you? And who really is the ’cause’ of this incident.”
Katus had never dreamed that the wife he was serving would be such a person. In the first place, he had never had a few conversations with the adult of the family.
Dilgent, a priest of the Resurrection Church, a member of the Amju under the direct control of the emperor, and an avenger, spread his hands wide.
“At first I was going to tear her son to pieces in front of that dogged wife, but thanks to you, I changed my mind. What could be the crime of my younger brother, who has not yet lived a few years? If my brother, Yad Finisho, will listen to me, he will rule here in Ebedos in place of my father, Abad Finisho, who will soon be senile. As an ardent supporter of His Majesty the Emperor!”
Standing in front of the fallen monster, the priest spoke in a kind voice.
“The original plan was for me to succeed my father and rule here in Ebedos under the support of His Majesty the Emperor, but in fact, I was not interested in such a position, so it was difficult. As long as I speak well to the generous Emperor, my brother will be safe.”
Catus listened to him silently.
“You will understand now. how futile your resistance is. Think about it. How are you living now? You steal food from other people’s property and use it to feed my brother a pitiful meal. Do you intend to make my younger brother, who inherits his father’s blood, live in such shame for the rest of his life? Is that really the right choice?”
Dilgent shook his head resolutely.
“no. I think absolutely not. So I’d like you to tell me where my brother is. If you truly want to protect my brother, you are right. Katus.”
How long has it been since you were called by a name without any modifiers? Katus had never been properly called by anyone since he became a fugitive. He seemed to be moved by Dilgent’s soft voice.
[But…]
The monster’s torso cracked and its arms and legs protruded. Significantly smaller in size than before. If regeneration was slow, the only thing left was to transform the remaining body. Katus had been doing this transformation all this time, pretending to listen to Dilgent’s story.
[You didn’t need blood to return the same again!!! Ena!!! You didn’t even have to kill Ena!!! 이 빌어먹을 개새끼야!!!]
무슨 사연이 있든 자신에게 저 자식은 에나를 죽인 개새끼일 뿐이었다. Sharp claws pounced on Dilgent. Dilgent’s hand moved, and the drawn Immortalium sword severed Katus’s arm.
“Do you feel unreasonable? But originally life is irrational. First of all, isn’t the very existence of you and me the very existence of irrationality? An unknown being gives strength to a crooked hunchback who was in danger of dying. Is this a good story? Even a passing dog would laugh at it.”
The Immortalium sword danced once more. The curve drawn by the sword blew away Katus’s remaining arm.
“If I were you, I would never have revealed myself so easily. He must have polished and polished the given power to the limit, made it his own, and started revenge. The demonic power you got. It is a power far greater than the power I received from the goddess. If you had honed your strength and found me, I would have lost my life at your hands.”
[Shut up!!!]
The monster’s legs flew through the air. Katus collapsed onto the dirt floor once again. Dilgent plunged his sword into the shoulder of the one-legged monster. He stared down at the monster.
“I thought we were very similar, but now I see that you are very different from me. Especially since the method is ignorant. Now I would like you to talk slowly. Where did you hide my brother?”
[I… made a promise with Ena… I will… protect the young master…]
Dilgent laughed softly.
“You will die here, but my brother swears to the goddess that I really have no intention of killing him right away, so let’s talk about it and go in peace. Isn’t that already the limit?”
The monster’s body, which suffered all night, was slowly crumbling from the edge. Signs of obvious limitations.
[The young master…]
Dilgent paid attention to the monster’s mouth. The monster’s eyes, which had been slowly closing, flashed open.
[I will protect you!!! You son of a bitch!!! That’s how I promised Ena!!!]
Powders that seemed to be crumbling quickly gathered and took their shape.
hooked
Sharp claws passed through the Immortalium sword and pierced Dilgent’s belly. Dilgent quickly backed away, but his stomach had already been ripped open.
“Cool.”
Dilgent, who vomited up the regurgitated blood, staggered. He raised his head and looked up at the monster, which had regained its original form before he knew it.
“How…?”
[I made another deal with the devil.]
The monster slowly closed its eyes. Dilgent could not understand the current situation. Obvious absurdity. There was a price to pay for such an obvious absurdity.
“What the hell…”
The white deer mask looked down at Katus.
[…memory. I handed over my memories with her to the devil.]
I couldn’t remember her name anymore. No, it didn’t stop at the name. her face smile voice. I couldn’t remember anything.
how did she laugh
Katus tried with all his might to pick up the crumbling fragments of memories, but couldn’t recall anything.
Except for one single memory.
‘Catus… I’ll ask for you too… Please, Mr. Master…’
Only that request, even in a faint voice, moved Katus.
[I will protect the young master.]
Clear tears fell through the cracks in the white deer mask. Tears too clear to be of a monster.
“It’s crazy… completely crazy. So, isn’t that a complete turnaround?”
Dilgent needed time to recover. He exerted his powers and induced a conversation with the monster.
“It was the woman you loved, not my sister! Think new!!! What does this choice really mean?”
The monster quietly raised its hand.
[shut up. son of a bitch The meaning of the choice is to think about it alone after pulling out your three tongues that killed her.]
“Damn it.”
Dilgent tried to counterattack by throwing out his motionless hand. The monster’s claws mercilessly tore off the priest’s arm.
bang!!!
The kicked Dilgent’s body hit a tree trunk and fell to the ground. Blood and flesh tangled and flowed down.
Katus moved slowly and raised a huge hand. Dilgent quickly shook his head.
Now, it was time for the members of the Black Land, who had slowly disposed of Marnak, to come here. a little bit. If only I could take a little bit of time. Soon, Dilgent came up with a method.
How to stop that monster.
[Stop dying now.]
A huge hand fell. Dilgent shouted hysterically.
“name!!! Aren’t you curious about her name you forgot!!! You may have forgotten, but I remember clearly. The name you shouted so much!!!”
The nails that fell came to a standstill. The moment Katus opened his mouth to say something.
– That ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! !
An ominous roar was heard as it was terrifying.
