#620. do not resent
* * *
Kowloon Kugu Palace.
the sky is shaking
The sound of shooting and pouring.
So that the raindrops, thick like poles, wet our cheeks, drenched our white clothes, and pooled under our feet.
She stayed in her seat without moving.
It wasn’t just because there was nowhere to hide from the rain in the middle of this thick forest.
It was because those who finally caught up with them after a long run did not allow her and the poison dragon squad to retreat further.
“It is difficult. After going through all that hardship, I barely chased after him, so I would have thought it would have been a disaster.”
While the Golden Dragon clan, including Charlotte, are tied up fighting two sword masters, the Sword Demon and the Sword Spirit.
A woman in a fancy robe who followed them separately.
Looking at Holy Lord Johanna.
Arbella was very nervous.
Of course, she was not a combat player, but she was an opponent that could be dealt with only with the power of the Venomous Dragon.
The problem was that she was not alone now.
“I’m sorry I didn’t notice earlier, His Holiness.”
“There is no need to apologize. It is a miracle of the Lord that you have found me safely.”
nine knights.
And even dozens of priests.
Although she was blown away by the space distortion, Johanna gave a gentle smile to the Saint Guild member who finally joined her.
Are you still wandering around Amazon?
Or has it already collapsed?
Some guild members were invisible, but they were all the best of the Saint Guild.
As long as she joined them, the Venomous Dragons are no match for her.
The proof was that they defeated even the Spirit Sentinel, which had been persistently holding back their ankles, and finally caught up with Arbella and the Poison Dragon Corps.
“You don’t have to be too nervous, Miss Arbella. As I said before, the Lord said not to quarrel with your neighbor.”
However, Johanna did not attack them unexpectedly.
As if to show that there is no hostility.
He just raised his hands and showed his palms and said with a smile on his face.
“There is no reason why we should fight in the first place.”
“Isn’t the fact that the World Federation is hostile to the Seven Dragons is enough of a reason?”
“That is the case with the World Federation.”
“What do you mean?”
“Unlike the Seven Dragons, the World Federation is not a friendly organization.”
“…Did you say that the Seven Dragons are on good terms?”
“At least compared to us.”
It’s like some kind of joke.
Looking at her with narrowed eyes.
Johanna smiled strangely.
“Not everyone, even the monarch, has the same thoughts.”
After saying that even the Sword Master given by Wanderer was sent as a watcher before being an escort or guide.
Suddenly.
Johanna lowered her voice.
And lift your finger slightly.
Pointing to the dark clouds with heavy rain, he added a meaningful word.
“Including ‘above’ that.”
“…?”
“In that sense, Arbella-sama, if possible, I would like you to guide us to Princess Green Dragon.”
“You want a guide?”
“It’s rare to have a quiet conversation with the princess of the Seven Dragons without worrying about other people’s attention.”
Limon’s condition is not normal right now.
As long as he guides me, I can even help him as a healer.
Seeing Johanna speak kindly, Arbella was silent.
What is Johanna’s intention?
How far can these words be sincere?
As Arbella, who was not a member of the Black Dragon clan, she had no confidence to see through the truth.
But what she had to do was decided from the beginning anyway.
“If you want to meet Princess Jung, make a formal request for an interview.”
“…I’m asking you because that sounds like it would be difficult.”
“There is no reason for the princess to understand and accept your situation.”
Arbella said coldly.
Whether Johanna really has good intentions or is hiding other plans is for Maia to judge and decide.
Unless you know the answer.
Even for the sake of Maia’s safety, he couldn’t have accepted Johanna’s request.
“If that’s the case, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Let out a sigh gently once.
Johanna floated a cross of light in the air.
Then, behind the guild members who took a step forward, he looked at Arbella with regretful eyes and continued.
“Don’t resent me.”
A huge difference in power.
You can’t expect any reinforcements.
Even the possibility of compromise kicks itself.
Even though there was only one last option left, Arbella never showed any regret or hesitation.
It was just that he was prepared to clench his fists and spread his powers while resonating with the poison dragon and psionics.
‘Princess, please be safe.’
…like that.
While swallowing the desperate wind.
Arbella and the Venomous Dragons began an unwinnable fight.
Praying that every minute and every second they earned would be of some help to the princess they respected.

Kurung Kuguawang!
A cave where no light can reach.
However, even in those places where the chill of the strong rain and wind was not blocked, the flash of lightning permeated clearly.
To the woman with green hair drenched in rain.
Even the man who was lying like a corpse.
Of course, if there was a hole in the chest and a split heart, it was natural that it should be a corpse, not something that looked like a corpse.
Still, it was clear he wasn’t a corpse.
even if it was cold.
A body that is still alive.
And a wound that regenerates at a slow pace.
It was proving with absolute certainty that the man was not yet dead.
The shockingly powerful psionics of biomanipulation did not allow him to die, even with his heart split.
A woman who used the time earned by Arbella and the Venomous Dragon Corps to look for Limon in a cave she luckily found.
Maia lamented that.
‘I can’t delay the resurrection of the sword anymore.’
It was.
After running away with Limon.
It wasn’t to heal his heart that she kept carrying him.
Rather, it was to slow down the rate at which Limon’s heart regenerated as much as possible by mobilizing all of his medical skills and biomanipulation psionics.
Because she, the best in the world, knew.
Limon is in deep sleep as if in hibernation, but he is never dead.
And that his body is still seething with the mighty psionics caused by the coin intoxication.
‘…was it too much?’
If luckily the psionic is stable.
He expected that even if it was impossible to treat Juhwa Ibma, there was a possibility that the immediate runaway would stop.
So I tried my best.
But it’s a miracle because miracles don’t happen easily.
With the help of Charlotte and the Golden Dragon Clan, the gamble of abandoning Arbella and the Venomous Dragon Corps as bait and running away resulted in failure.
Even at this moment when his heart was almost completely regenerated, Limon’s coin intoxication hadn’t healed.
There is no point in dragging out more time now.
she knew
‘In the end…’
That’s why.
Maia stretched out her arms.
Then she stopped her pale, gloveless hand in front of his chest, where the hole had not yet healed.
“It sounds funny.”
The ridicule that flows involuntarily.
Rather than a habit, he had a cold mocking laugh that was more like an instinct.
she murmured.
“To take your life, which you have been trying to kill for hundreds of years, so easily.”
that this is the best
Maia judged calmly.
As soon as Limon is resurrected, he will continue to rampage again unless the main fire infestation is resolved.
If that happens, it’s not just those in the Amazon or the Seven Dragons that will be at risk.
whole world.
and all mankind.
Limon, who used his vast psionics to overwhelm even the sword master and ran rampant according to his instincts, was just as dangerous.
Even if the Seven Dragons and the World Federation work together, it is impossible to guess whether they can stop the runaway Limon.
Even if Limon is miraculously stopped, several continents will be devastated.
In that sense, Vlad was right in his decision to put an end to Limon before it was too late.
Rather, it was just that he was wrong for delaying the decision.
because I realized that.
She gathered psionics.
something you should have done earlier.
In other words, to crush Limon’s heart before he is resurrected, and to end his breath this time.
“….”
But with psionics.
Even with one hand raised.
Maia didn’t move.
I just stared blankly at his heart, which was visibly rapidly regenerating after the interference with the biological manipulation was cut off.
in that stillness.
she thought again.
Since you have already used the balance, there is no way to stop the resurrected Limon, so you must stop breathing now.
This is the best choice for the Seven Dragons and the whole world.
More than anything, this is what Limon himself wanted.
Even the grace that saved him.
Even the grudge that killed ‘himself’.
There were countless reasons for her to kill Limon immediately in that everything would be settled by killing him as Limon wished.
On the other hand, there is one reason not to kill him.
Compared to the many good reasons, it was just too illogical and absurd.
But…
his own hand that he opened to rip off Limon’s heart.
To be precise, the moment he saw the single white balance weight left in the scale tattoo on the back of his hand.
She finally realized.
“…Swordsmith is all your fault.”
so deep
It’s heavy like a swamp.
with bitter resentment.
Maia continued as if lamenting.
“Because you ruined me, I became a foolish woman who can only do things that are neither here nor there.”
When Limon kills himself, he uses only 9 of the 10 white balance weights he handed over to use, leaving room for him to resurrect.
It wasn’t enough that he had to take him and run away as he had harmed himself according to his orders.
Throwing away even Arbella as bait and clinging to vain hopes.
Everything is Eoyoung and Booyoung.
As a princess who is thorough in her wishes.
Set everything firmly.
In the end, there was only one reason why he had to do something that was not like himself, who despised halfway things the most.
-Love.
There’s not even logic.
stupid and simple.
That one emotion, which was nothing more than a result of hormones, was forcing her to make the worst choice.
“So please do not resent my choice.”
so that.
Maia stood up.
Then, keeping a distance from Limon, he closed his eyes.
only one.
Even in this situation, albeit faintly, there was a way to solve Limon’s coin intoxication.
Even the theory is incomplete.
Of course, that’s close to impossible.
In the case of failure, the destruction of the world is confirmed, so it can only be said to be the worst method.
So Limon rejected it as soon as he heard it, and Maia herself hadn’t thought of that method until now… but
Maia had no choice.
What a world without this man.
Either perish or not.
It’s good.
So kill him.
To protect a worthless world.
Even if the world perishes, choose a way to save Limon.
She couldn’t resist the whispers that echoed from the depths of her already broken heart.
The most pessimistic and cynical woman in the Seven Dragons.
However, a princess who never gives up what she is obsessed with and can even abandon the fate of the world in order to achieve that obsession.
Maia raised her hand like that.
The moment you untie a knot.
Squeak.
thin hem.
It flowed down her feet.
