Chapter 308,
Chapter 94. Fragments of the Past – Sarah (1)
Jin’s pupils widened.
‘what is this sound…?’
In the video the sphere shows, Murakan is saying something that Jin ‘knows Murakan’ would never say.
Silence passed.
Sarah’s eyes were trembling as she glared at Murakan. Soon, a ghastly murderous look formed in her eyes, and Murakan was still expressionless.
I have to give up my family name… Yes, I’ve heard that you talk like that. I heard about it from the magic swordsmen of the executive department. Padler said something similar.
Wow!
Sarah vomited black blood and continued talking behind her back.
I thought there was some misunderstanding. Because they don’t know you better than me, or. Everyone thought he was just talking nonsense because he was so tired of the long fight…
Sara approached Murakan and grabbed him by the collar.
But I hear it with my own ears. I mean, you’re telling me to kill the family head. Are you serious? Need to get rid of the family head? You are the guardian dragon of the household!
Sarah.
Answer me, Murakan.
…look around you.
At that, Sarah turned her head.
There were corpses all over the place. It was a sign of a bloody battle between the two. The black sword symbolizing Runkandel and Ziffle’s dragon pattern were all over the dismembered remains.
More than 50% of the dead wizards were killed by Temar. If he and we hadn’t come to support, the war would have been difficult. Perhaps this battle would have turned into a victory for Ziple.
What do you want to say?
I arrived on the battlefield earlier than you. It means that unlike you, I watched Temar fight. It wasn’t just the wizards in Zipple that he killed.
Could it be that the family lord killed our knights…?
Murakan nodded slowly.
Sarah, who was holding on to his collar, loosened her grip. Then he looked around again to check the condition of the dead.
He looked carefully at the wounds and cuts. Soon she became some of the allied dead.
No, I was able to realize that most of them were killed by Temar’s sword. Those struck by his sword had no choice but to leave traces behind.
Sarah is going crazy. Temar… is no longer the person we used to know.
After a long silence, Murakan spoke.
No, Gaju is not crazy….
Don’t look away. This is a fact you already knew.
gibberish.
How long do you think you can fool yourself? You don’t want to face the truth Because I did too. But you confirmed that Temar slashed allies in the last battle. While trying to cut down the padler, I caught my spirit for a moment and ended up in an attempt.
The head of household is also a person. On that day, I just lost my mind for a moment in the fierce battle that continued day after day.
Are you going to keep ignoring the dead knights?
Sarah shook her head.
There must have been some reason why the family head killed them. Murakan! What are we going to do if we don’t believe in the patriarch?
I know better than anyone else how hard it is to accept. But you have to see the truth. Even for that guy.
the truth!
Sarah screamed. It sounded like an evil, but it was a cry.
The truth is that the patriarch is still the person we know. Murakan Temar killed them for a reason.
Sarah.
They must have been knights who became puppets under Ziple’s magic. you know? How they manipulate the human mind. You have to trust the lord.
do you really think so
Maybe he was a spy. It must have been a spy. So Temar killed himself…
mate…!
Murakan slapped Sarah on the cheek.
Sarah’s unfocused eyes stared into space.
Do not blaspheme the dead knights. Those who died fighting for Runkandel, for Temar, and for you and the rest of the family to stop the world from going the way Ziple wants. How can you, a teenage knight, insult them!
Sarah’s eyes were wet.
Tears flowed incessantly. She was regretting what she had said, but she couldn’t pick up what had already been said.
Sara sat down and hugged the corpses of her allies lying on the floor. It seemed that he could not do anything about his confused mind.
Murakan looked down at Sarah for a long time and hugged her quietly.
What the hell made the householder like that? You… know. yes? what is driving the family head crazy. tell me
support position-!
Zujijik…!
The gray orb that was playing the video distorted. At the same time, the screen rapidly repeated blurring and sharpening.
Because of this, I couldn’t see the two of them directly, and I started not being able to hear the sound properly.
“It’s like this again…”
Something he had experienced once in the first grave.
It wasn’t unexpected. Since the space was destroyed, he thought that there must be a problem with the recording device.
I had no choice but to wait until the sphere was fine again.
‘The spirit beads obtained from the first tomb, as well as the recording devices placed in the tomb. It feels like everything is not perfect.’
Looking at the recording device was like touching a broken wind-up watch.
Even though it shows the events of a thousand years ago, the device keeps going out of order at important moments.
‘According to the recording device, Murakan decided that Temar was insane and tried to kill him. That’s probably the reason Lord Silderray spoke as if he didn’t like Murakan.’
It seemed that I should meet Misha soon. She must have known something about recording devices.
Zieg!
The image of the gray orb cleared again.
But this time, as in the first tomb, the perspective had changed.
Murakan and Sarah were no longer in a battlefield full of Runkandel and Jiple’s corpses, but in a desolate landscape full of monsters.
Black Sea.
I recognized it as soon as I saw it. The only land in the world that looked so dark and desolate was the Black Sea.
However, there was one strange part.
‘Why is there a tower in the Black Sea…?’
The Black Sea was clear, but a tower towering in the distance could be seen where Murakan, Sarah, and a stranger stood together. It was a tower that did not exist in the Black Sea today.
There really is a tower… The patriarch is in there.
the man said Murakan and Sara called him Padler.
The three looked at the tower in the distance and were silent for a while. Black smoke billowed continuously from the top of the tower, but it was none other than aura.
At first glance, it was not an auspicious atmosphere. The aura rising from the tower somehow seemed to harbor a vicious aura.
Ha…
Padler let out a deep sigh.
Murakan, are you saying there is no other way than this?
When Murakan didn’t answer, Padler went on his back.
I’m honestly not sure
Temar is weak. I can deal with it alone. It’s just that I called you…
I mean, I don’t know if this is the right thing to do. Isn’t it too harsh to have to kill the family head with our own hands? either to the Lord or to us.
Come all this way and don’t hesitate, Padler. Do you think I would want to kill him? No words can express this miserable feeling. That’s painful for me too.
Murakan’s eyes turned bloody as he looked back at the Padler.
In my 2,000 years of living, there has never been a more terrifying day than today. Can you imagine As a guardian dragon, what was it like to have to kill the contractor? I’m a body that can’t even commit suicide just because it’s painful like you humans. After I kill him, I will too.
Murakan stopped talking and gritted his teeth.
The land of the Black Sea on which they stood was shaking. The dark energy flowing from the tower was weighing down the area.
I didn’t see a single monster. Like beasts instinctively hiding from disaster, all the monsters were in a state of running away somewhere.
Muracan. Know this one thing.
Sarah said. Murakan did not turn his head toward her.
If I was in the same situation as you, I would not go. My brother… would never have given up on you.
I know.
Pretending to be for my brother, but you and your god. In the end, it will be the choice that is most beneficial to them. Damn it, we have no choice but to follow that choice.
Sarah started to walk.
Then the two followed. Their footprints were left on the dark ground of the Black Sea.
The closer we got to the tower, the blacker the landscape of the Black Sea became. The aura that came out of the tower had more terrible miasma compared to anything in the Black Sea.
When they reached the entrance, all three had to use their full power to spread the shield. Murakan transformed into his true form and released his aura.
Inside was a huge cavity. There was a spiral staircase in the middle, and the party did not speak a word while climbing it.
Eventually, let’s reach the top of the tower.
The party was able to face Temar standing in the middle.
Dark spots were all over Temar’s body, as if he had been afflicted with a plague. He didn’t even flinch when he saw the group coming.
Brother.
Temar said nothing.
We… I’m here, brother. Why are you alone in this lonely place?
Sarah was hopeful that Temar didn’t react very well.
The hope that maybe the older brother I love so much may not have gone crazy, the hope that maybe I can get everything back.
[Sarah…]
Sara nodded, eyes wide open.
yes it is me Sarah. would you recognize me? huh?
[Come… closer… come. It’s cold….]
The moment Sara smiled broadly and tried to approach Temar.
Murakan grabbed her by the shoulder.
don’t come close
let go
If you carelessly give them distance, they will be attacked.
Let go.
damn Sarah please listen Look at the auras swirling around Temar! You mean you can’t see something sticking out like a blade? It was formed to stab you. Sarah.
Padler closed his eyes tightly.
From the moment he first saw Temar, he was aware of the memorization of the aura he had formed.
So I had to admit it.
that the homeowner is crazy.
The Temar Fadler knew was someone who would not fight back even if his only brother stabbed him in the back.
But now he is trying to seduce Sarah and kill her.
Sreung!
Padler drew his sword. The blade stained with brain energy came out of the scabbard and illuminated the surroundings.
Teenage Knight Padler Runcandel. I have been bestowed the name of Runcandel by the family head and have enjoyed infinite glory. From now on, I will apologize even to death for attacking the householder.
Then, a bizarre smile spread across Temar’s lips.
