#Side Story 59. Because sinners cannot regret (4)
* * *
Grumble!
“…Did that happen in the end?”
Just immersed in despair and regret.
Li Qingyu, who had run away to the depths of the canyon, was greeted by a blonde beauty who was preparing a ceremony.
Charlotte was neither disappointed nor frustrated when she heard the loud roar coming from outside and Limon’s words.
Instead, I just snorted.
“Hmph, that’s what a mad dog does.”
As if I could understand.
Or as if he knew it would happen.
She lazily accepted even this hopeless situation and asked bluntly.
“So what do you plan to do now?”
“I guess you already know that, right?”
“Instead, it means that we must choose someone to send to the past.”
“Anyway, we have no other way.”
They are already surrounded.
No matter how much Limon is, he can’t deal with hunters indefinitely, and there’s no other place to run to.
All that was left for them was to somehow push through with this plan.
Change the past.
Protect the Seven Dragons Association.
To save the world.
And when Li Qingyu thinks.
Aside from Limon, there was only one person who had a chance of doing it.
“So Charlotte, please go.”
“No, I cannot go.”
“…Why?”
“Because there is no way to prevent this catastrophe even if I go to the past.”
They say he is the strongest expert of the Seven Dragons.
She is just the princess of the Golden Dragon Clan.
He did not have the authority to give orders to the princesses of the other six clans, did not have enough friends to ask for favors, and even the logic to persuade them was weak.
This is especially true if, as Limon’s final advice, you should avoid revealing your future to others as much as possible.
“Even if it brightens the future, it’s the same. “How many princesses would be swayed by such nonsense?”
“That’s…”
“More than anything, do you think you can convince your past self?”
In response to Charlotte’s mocking comment.
Li Qingyu could not refute.
In fact, she knew that even if Charlotte miraculously persuaded and cajoled all the other princesses, her past self would not be able to stop.
She is the Black Dragon Princess.
Because she was a princess of lies and betrayal that no one trusted.
Above all….
“So if only one person has to go to the past, it should be you.”
“But I…”
“Don’t look away. “It was you, Li Qingyu, who started the cycle of the last days, and therefore you are the only one who can break it.”
Even if Limon went back to the past, it would have been impossible for him to truly cooperate with the Seven Dragons to protect the world.
She was the one who had to go in the first place.
A dry voice follows Charlotte’s listless explanation.
“Li Qingyu, don’t run away.”
“….”
“This is Li Qingyu’s responsibility.”
After looking at the golden eyes that were infinitely brighter and the colorless and transparent eyes that did not contain a single emotion, I ended up being silent.
Li Qingyu eventually closed his eyes.
Because I found out.
That these two people are right.
No, I knew it from the beginning.
I just didn’t want to accept it.
As a sinner who destroyed the world, he returns to the past alone, hides his future from everyone, and begins a new life where he must endure the guilt for the rest of his life.
But unfortunately.
There was no such thing as a choice.
As they said, she was the only one who could break the chain of destruction she had created.
A sinner can commit a crime, but he cannot choose the punishment for that crime.
And so…
the ritual began.
Ugh.
As the great destruction event unfolds, the three dragon psionics resonate and shake the air.
As the number of people who were supposed to be spread by seven people is expanded with less than half, its power decreases and the resonance becomes unstable.
Nevertheless, it is the Daerabeukdugang Myeolseong Seven Dragons Jin (大羅北斗降 滅星七龍陣).
It was the strongest method forged by the seven dragons to fight against the Constellations.
Thanks to the strangeness of the formation and the efforts of everyone to maintain the twisted formation with all their might, the power of the great destruction formation grew bigger and bigger.
In the midst of a massive psionic flow that seemed to tear even the descendants of dragons apart as it gradually focused on them.
Li Qingyu thought.
Feeling anxious.
I worried.
Will this gambling-like ritual succeed?
And even if it succeeds, will it really be able to change the fate of the world?
Above all, that. I wonder if I will be able to build a different relationship
with Limon Asfelder…
or rather, with the swordsman.
“Li Qingyu. “I give you my final advice.”
It was that moment.
It seemed like he sensed her anxiety.
The expressionless white-haired girl like a doll opened her mouth and said,
“Keep in mind. If you want to change your fate, you must save us all. “No one should lose anything.”
“I know that we can prevent this apocalypse only if we protect all seven of our clans and form a cooperative relationship.”
“Wrong. It’s not about protecting it. “I’m saving it.”
“…?”
“You don’t need to know now. When the time comes, Li Qingyu will find out for himself.”
It’s not like her, who has had all her emotions erased for a long time.
However, at the same time, Ainsha continued to speak to Li Qingyu, who was puzzled by those vague words befitting the world’s greatest prophet.
“Also, our first date will be at an amusement park.”
“…yes?”
“I go even if I don’t want to go. “When we go there, we can find the destiny we were looking for and the luck we couldn’t find.”
“Fate and luck…?”
Why?
Even as Li Qingyu’s expression became more complicated as the more I heard, the more I understood, the more I couldn’t understand.
The flow of dragon psionics between the three princesses became increasingly rough and intense.
The noise that had been coming from afar also gradually got closer.
And…
wow.
“…!”
For a moment.
she felt
The constant roar of battle suddenly stopped, and a single will emerged instead.
Sound, light and darkness.
Mountains, seas, continents.
Time, space, world.
It is so powerful and heartless that it can only be called a demon that destroys and destroys everything in the universe…
…and truly puts an end to the world.
Wooooow!
If it’s alive.
No, even if he is dead.
We should tremble in fear and despair in front of that eerie will that splits the night sky.
Charlotte continued to use dragon psionics calmly, and Ainsha also did not show any signs of agitation.
Just wrapped the silver horn preciously with both hands.
To see the future.
Even beyond time.
He just looked at her with eyes as clear as glass and finished his sentence in a low voice.
“And above all…”
And so, as if he was squeezing his last strength.
The silver horn the girl was holding crumbled after receiving the massive flow of dragon psionics, exploding silver brilliance.
Together with countless hunters who have the will to cut down everything, they advance through a world where humanity has already disappeared and cut down a sky full of stars.
The moment the silver horn crumbled.
“―It makes Lee happy.”
The twisted flow of time.
swallowed her
* * *
Twisted.
It turns over.
It gets mixed up.
This time.
I’m out of my mind.
Mind.
Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy.
Terrible, terrible, terrible.
The body, the soul, the memory of the past.
I realize that I am being torn apart and crushed at the same time in pain and cruelty I have never imagined. No, I have no choice but to realize it.
This is truly reverse heaven.
It was an act that was more outrageous and impossible than reviving the dead or defying fate.
A heavy and terrible price had to be paid.
nevertheless.
She didn’t give up.
With will, with persistence, with guilt.
Even in the flow of time, I just watched everyone, holding on to my scattered consciousness.
The death of Wei Ling, his close associate who remained loyal to him until the end.
A clan that betrayed itself one after another amidst endless fighting and suffering.
The tragic fall of the Seven Dragons, which once controlled all the wealth in the world.
The constellation’s invasion began with monsters popping out of the dungeon and the hunter’s movement.
…and the 10-year war that had been waged against Limon up until then, using every possible tactic, including threats, plots, plots, scheming, and hexes.
But…
“Why on earth?”
…!
Li Qingyu, who had tenaciously persevered through all the pain and confusion until now, was shaken for the first time.
Because I saw it.
The ruins of a collapsed building.
Above him was a white-haired man with blood-covered features and brightly shining eyes.
“You bastards, why are you trying to kill me by setting a trap like this and even framing me with absurd accusations?”
Ah…
yes, that’s right.
she knew
This sight, this moment.
This is the beginning of everything.
This was the moment when Limon, the guardian deity of humanity, began to lose faith and hope in humanity. It
was also the moment when an insidious, mean, and dirty schemer, who was spying on the scene while hiding from afar, smiled.
“Okay, I was wrong.”
I couldn’t stand it.
I couldn’t bear it.
I have to endure it.
I have to endure it.
Anyway, this is the past.
Something you cannot and should not change.
“I am an idiot for trying to protect this world.”
Nevertheless, his lament for being betrayed like an old dog by the country he had protected his entire life is very sad.
The guilt I felt towards myself for watching that scene was so deep and profound.
Starlight falls from the sky.
The moment he cut it down.
I end up craving it without thinking.
Please please definitely.
This past.
No, the future.
Longing to be able to change.
The moment she reached out to him.
The whole story ends….
“Haaak!”
In the depths of the Black Dragon Palace.
The black-haired girl, who was deeply asleep, jumped out of bed, convulsing, her body stiff and stiff as if she had been crushed by scissors.
“Hahaha….”
A cold body.
Pale complexion.
Even the breath you squeeze out.
She clutched her chest, looking more like a corpse rising from the grave than a person who had just woken up.
The long and distant ‘dream’ she had just a moment ago was making her feel agitated.
If it were someone else.
He might have thought it was just a terrible nightmare.
Even if I found a slightly different meaning, I wouldn’t have been able to properly remember even one out of a hundred.
Because the great law that the survivors of the Seven Dragons, their last hope, used to save the world ultimately…
failed.
No matter how much the dragon psionics was amplified, it was impossible for a mortal to withstand the pressure of the reverse heaven that defies time.
but.
nevertheless.
That resentment is so deep.
That longing is more earnest.
The future Li Qingyu conveyed everything to his past self by resonating with the same psychic psionics.
Even distant memories.
Terrible regret and guilt.
Above all, a sad and heartbreaking wish.
Again.
like that.
It wasn’t originally his.
But at the same time, from a girl who sheds tears over the painful and vivid bitterness that is hers…
the whole story.
-It has begun.
