The player returns after 10,000 years Episode 353
Escape (1)
Hehehe.
Laughter escaped from Iris’ mouth.
A distorted laugh sounded like a screw missing somewhere.
Reading the madness flowing in her eyes,
Da
Kang-woo sighed with deeply sunken eyes.
There is no more fear of Fidelio in her eyes.
But
was it right?
My head is complicated. He knows too.
that this is not the best Rather, it might be better to live
in fear and suffer from nightmares . –
I remembered her voice, trembling and desperately begging
that if I could escape this fear, I could sell my soul to the devil .
Close your eyes.
It was her choice and it was her wish.
‘Although memories can be erased with the Authority of Subordination.’
Kang-woo, who continued to think for a while, shook his head.
‘Dangerous.’
She is blessed by a high elf powerful enough to recognize herself using the power of stealth.
It would be too risky to make a contract of subordination with her here.
You’re not afraid of Fidelio anymore, are you?
yes!
Iris answered brightly.
The sight of her smiling brightly, soaked in blood, was terrifying.
‘still.’
With this, she was completely out of Fidelio’s shadow. ‘This can’t be without aftereffects like this.
At least it’s better than being plagued by fears and nightmares.
Kangwoo, where should we start cutting today?
Iris looked at him dangerously and smirked.
Kang Woo lightly clicked his tongue. ‘Is this really better?’
It is true that this state was intended, but I did not expect that she would be ‘broken’ to this extent in just a few days.
‘Does that mean the fear of Fidelio was that great?’
In addition to that, the fact that Iris’ nature is basically very docile and kind must have overlapped.
Just as the repulsive force that bounced back was as strong as it was suppressed, the pure murderous intent suppressed in her nature and fear burned wildly out of control.
‘I didn’t think it would work like this.
I regretted not pushing her too hard. ‘It will gradually get better.’
Something that cannot be turned back in time.
The good news is that Iris is following his advice.
A situation where you can control her to some extent ‘Now slowly.’
It’s time to quit.
It’s already broken to the point where it’s too late to turn around, but it’s better than going further. no i will quit
….yes?
Iris’ eyes widened. She asked, looking back alternately at Fidelio and Kang-woo, who were unconscious.
I… Quitting is…? I mean you can stop.
ah.
Her body trembled slightly. Iris clenched the dagger in her hand as if regretting it.
Kang Woo smiled and continued. Revenge isn’t all about stabbing, cutting, and crushing, right? Now I have to get back what was stolen one by one.
was it stolen?
Iris widened her eyes. Hwang Kwon and the stigma of being a villain. Is it all because of Fidelio?
That’s…
Iris’ eyes were momentarily conflicted.
Even so, it
is not only Fidelio’s fault that the evil reputation of the ‘evil woman’ is attached.
He is more responsible for relieving his subordinates of his stress.
Iris.
Kang Woo lightly stroked the cheek of Iris, who was in conflict.
asks in a soft voice. Wasn’t it all done by Fidelio? Ah yes! That’s right! It’s all because of that trash bastard!
Iris nodded urgently and spoke vigorously.
Kang Woo smiled and nodded his head.
yes. Now, you should slowly shed your false accusations and prepare to become the empress.
…Queen.
Iris looked at Kang-woo with a blank look at those words that somehow didn’t make sense.
Her father, Emperor Leopold von Arnan, is getting worse every day.
In fact, the level of forcibly reviving something that should have died immediately with magic.
As Kang Woo said, it was true that the day she would become the ‘Empress’ would not be far off.
‘Am I… the queen?’
My heart was pounding. It was difficult to breathe, as if a heavy burden was weighing down on her.
A crowd… yes. You know very well how the people of the empire speak of me.
In fact, no matter what the people of the empire said, it was possible to become the empress herself.
The tradition of the royal family belongs to her
, but
it is close to impossible to get rid of the ‘unjust false accusation’ Kang-woo said.
Not only was it not completely framed, but she was well aware of how difficult it is to change a perception once established. leave that to me
Kang Woo smiled. I had thought of a way to overturn the image of a villainess that fell in love with her.
I turned my head and looked at Fidelio.
He was unconscious and passed out, bleeding all over his body.
I… Kang Woo.
Iris’ eyes glowed grimly as she grabbed the dagger.
Shall we finish now?
She glared at Fidelio, who fainted and let out a kill.
Compared to the first time when I couldn’t even meet his eyes properly, it’s a great improvement.
Kangwoo looked at her with complicated eyes while shaking his head slowly.
no.
If not…
I won’t kill Fidelio.
yes? Won’t you kill me?!
Iris looked at Kang-woo with a surprised expression.
Not killing Fidelio.
It was nonsense.
Oh no! I must kill that scumbag myself!
Iris fiercely bared her teeth and said.
He menacingly raised the dagger in his hand.
Despite her madness, Kang-woo shook his head firmly.
Iris. Laugh…
I said I wouldn’t kill.
ha but
Iris looked at Kang Woo with teary eyes.
Fidelio was an enemy who did terrible things to himself.
No, not just himself, but a wicked man who sucked the blood of countless people while holding this empire in his hands.
His end is not death.
Fidelio must die. Iris said cautiously. Kang-woo, asking
to change his mind even now,
asked with a smile. okay? Why do you think you have to die?
That’s it….
Do I really need to say that?
Iris glared at Fidelio with mad eyes.
That’s the only end befitting such trash.
No matter how much I thought about it, Fidelio was not worth living.
Kang Woo laughed lightly at her words, which had become bold enough to be unrecognizable in the past few days.
It was a bright smile. Do you really think that’s the only suitable ending?
…yes?
If you sincerely want to avenge Fidelio, it shouldn’t end like that.
I’m not sure what… you mean. Kang Woo tilted his head towards her.
He stroked his hair and spoke in the tone of a teacher teaching a child.
When you die, that’s the end, right?
No matter how painful it is, no matter how miserable it is.
When you die, that’s it.
No more pain, no pain, no more sadness.
Now, think about the time you were beaten by Fidelio.
together every day.
Didn’t you think you’d rather die?
ah.
Iris’ eyes widened. Yes. Kang Woo was right. She sought death in the throes of terrible despair.
I thought death was the only salvation.
Why would you kill me?
Kang Woo smiled broadly. death is nothing Being alive is more painful.
Only life is suffering. A cold shudder ran down Iris’ spine. ‘Ah, this man.
really scary person
no.
Will the person be right?
‘doesn’t care.’
It doesn’t matter if he’s a human, a monster, or a demon.
The important thing is that he saved himself and led him.
He did not protect himself like Raynald or Kim Si-hoon.
It wasn’t a place to hide.
He pushed on his back so that he could stand up on his own. yes. I’ll follow Kangwoo’s words. Iris nodded. Looking
at Kang Woo with some hazy eyes
.
Yeah, I’ll be a bit busy in the future. I had to remove Fidelio’s lines and build Iris’ own line.
He had to rebuild the ruined empire.
‘That’s how you focus on Lucifer.
In the current situation, there was a high possibility that people would not be as terrified of the return of the evil god as expected.
To those who live a hellish life right now, what does it matter whether the evil spirit returns or the demon king resurrects
?
‘You have to lose something to be afraid.
And the moment that fear approaches despair.
The whole continent will face the crisis of the end.
If you do well, I’ll arrange a cozy place with Sihun, so work hard.
Kangwoo patted Iris on the shoulder and said.
For the girl who fell in love with Kim Si-hoon at first sight, there would be no reward as sweet as spending time with him.
UK 2
‘I’m sorry for Mr. Jesu.
My heart felt heavy when I thought of Layla, but there was no bait like Kim Si-hoon to perfectly coax Iris.
Iris let out a short exclamation.
yes. I will work hard.
She smiled as she gently grabbed Kangwoo’s hem.
That smile felt somehow awkward.
A room filled with the thick scent of blood.
Fidelio, who had fainted, regained consciousness.
oh
An unpleasant moan escaped his wrinkled mouth.
Cuckoo! Huh! omg!
He let out a heavy breath.
The pain that lingered like reverberation made his whole body tremble.
‘I’m crazy.’ It
reminds me of a young man with sharp eyes
.
I have no thoughts other than that I am crazy. ‘Either Iris or him.’
Both are insane. No, the human named Oh Kang-woo has already passed the level of being insane.
**
‘Devil. gulp. Fidelio swallowed bloody saliva.
Crackle. The sound of teeth grinding rang out.
Tears flowed. It feels like swimming in an endless nightmare.
‘You have to run away.
You must run away from the devil’s hand. But how? ah ah
Click. Click. The chains that restrained his body moved noisily.
Fidelio twisted desperately
.
Ahhh.
In order to escape from the hands of the demon, he twisted his whole body to escape from the hands of the maddened monster.
The chains rubbed my skin. The wound opened and blood gushed out.
A terrible pain spreads through the body. Aaaaaaaa!!
But the fear of the devil was greater than the pain.
Fidelio groaned and thrashed his body as if having a seizure.
It was then.
-Click.
uh…?
The blood-soaked chains loosened just a little bit.
Fidel’s eyes widened as he approached.
As I moved my body from side to side, I felt my body slowly slip away from the chains. ‘De finally! The opportunity has come.
Instead, Fidelio moved his body more violently and blood poured out from his wounds.
Rather than the pain of skin being torn and flesh exposed, the hope of being able to escape rather filled with joy.
‘You have to run away.
before he returns.
before the devil returns.
as soon as possible.
‘You have to run!!
Fidelio’s body came out of the chair.
