Chapter 739,
Chapter 184. Beyond destiny (11)
Incomprehensible actions and incomprehensible words.
And an incomprehensibly weak look.
My legs felt as if they were about to give up. There was no confusion whatsoever in the young Rosa.
He was truly a man.
[What does this mean?]
“This true… human… is an idiot.”
“I have to kill the 12 Horsemen right now…!”
Allies who came running late also opened their eyes wide and looked at Jin and Rosa alternately.
Octavia pointed her wand at Rosa even as she was about to faint.
Hedo lowered the staff into his hand.
“I don’t know how the situation with the leader of the Wraith is going, but Jin seems to be right.”
Cool…!
Jin focused on the empty space and was silent, but when Rosa coughed up a handful of blood, he flinched and met her eyes again.
Are you saying this person is not really an asshole?
If it’s a ruse of the wicked god, what is it that he is trying to achieve by going this far?
‘It’s too much to just confuse me. If all of this is really a dog-like prank, it should have caused confusion and then dealt a direct blow to me and my allies.’
However, Rosa, freed from her chains, never attacked Jin. The insolence shown by the young Rosa was not even a threat to the party.
Rather, Rosa even provided cover while the former family head and party were fighting.
In addition, the former head of the family, whose assimilation with the evil god reached its peak, stabbed Rosa, not Jin, one last time before being released from the chains.
That meant that the evil god was trying to kill himself. Or your own alter ego.
‘…an alter ego?’
Suddenly, an assumption flashed through Jin’s mind.
What if Rosa, who is now dying, is some kind of fragment from the body?
As guessed, the young Rosa was a being formed by the differentiation of the deepest inner side of the body that did not want to fall until the end.
Now, it is the result of the separation of oneself from the brightest days of the past, from which the body can never return.
That was the true identity of Rosa, who was dying right in front of Jin.
In the first place, Rosa did not even know that she had been differentiated from her breast body. She recognized herself as a completely different being from the bust.
However, Rosa realized that she was something twisted. Because this wasn’t the world she remembered.
Why was he imprisoned in the chains of evil spirits, where are Shiron and the other knights of his family, and what he was doing right before he was imprisoned.
Rosa couldn’t remember anything.
No matter how much he looked like a human, it was only natural that he was not a real person after all, but only an unconscious separated from his body. There is no way he could have any memory right before he was locked up.
The memory of young Rosa stopped at one day when she was twenty-three.
On one of those days when I miss you the most.
‘Looks like I’m a twisted being who shouldn’t be here. Besides, the knight named Jin, who is probably my son, and other people all call me an evil spirit.’
If so, does that mean that the dark monster that kept him bound is his future?
For some reason, it never occurred to me that this might just be a terrible nightmare.
So clearly and quickly she understood the situation she was in.
“haha.”
Rosa let out a laugh mixed with metal.
There were mixed feelings.
There were too many questions. How did he end up becoming such a monster, how Shiron is doing, how many children he has, and how precarious his family is now because of him.
Rosa felt a poisonous spirit spreading through her body from inside her pierced chest.
“Gin a little more… up close. Can you show me your face?”
Jin didn’t answer and looked down at Rosa for a few seconds.
“As you can see, I am mortally wounded. Even to the knight controlled by the evil spirit. Proof that I’m not on his side. Besides, you and your colleagues are at a level that you wouldn’t dare threaten even if I were fine. So let go of your guard. I don’t have much time left.”
Rosa, concentrating her mind for the last time, was speaking clearly.
Eventually, Jin got down on one knee and leaned toward Rosa.
When I looked back at my despair, the young Rosa’s appearance was unfamiliar yet familiar.
“You’re handsome… It feels like I and Shiron’s faces are exactly half mixed. If you are a 12 rider, are you the youngest?”
“…there is one more person.”
“Then thirteen in total? It seems that Shiron and my keumseul were better than expected. how was he Could it be that I didn’t even harm Shiron?”
“He is alive and well.”
“Then Shiron must be fulfilling her mission elsewhere. The role of defeating me who became a monster and reclaiming the family is what you took on Shiron’s place…”
Jin narrowed his brows whenever he heard the second person pronoun ‘you’.
Rosa looked at him and smiled lightly.
“I only liked Geum-seul with Shiron, but your expression shows at once what a terrible mother I was. Even as the hostess of the family, it must have been the worst ever. It’s not that there haven’t been any villains who go beyond evil and commit immorality in Runkandel, but among them, I’m probably the only one who’s become a disgrace…”
The young Rosa was a completely different type of Rosa that Jin remembered.
The latter was a demon who would do anything for the prosperity and survival of the family.
On the other hand, Rosa, who was smiling bitterly in front of her eyes, had clear and deep eyes that could be said to be more suitable for Highlan than Runkandel.
“Rosa.”
“Speak.”
“Why did you do that?”
Rosa pondered for a few seconds at Jin’s angry question.
“I guess I just lacked all the qualifications and qualifications to be a family mistress.”
“No, until you became a deity, you were definitely the acting head of the household that everyone in the family feared. No one considered you lacking in leading the family on behalf of your father, and your family members have made every effort to gain recognition from you.”
Rosa lowered her head. He’s losing his strength because of the bleeding.
“You were an acting head of household that even your enemies and those who despised you could not help but admit. I did too. Until you colluded with the Prophet and became an evil spirit. Until you become a mad monster who says that even if the whole world perishes, it doesn’t matter as long as the flag of Runkandel remains.”
“That’s what I said…”
“You said it and it’s what you’re doing.”
“Through this force of chaos?”
Rosa said, putting her hand on her affected area.
Before I knew it, the mixed spirit that had spread like a tumor stood out.
“okay.”
“Then it is clear why I became a monster.”
It is the result of giving up the struggle.
Rosa said in a calm voice.
“Because I’m tired, because I can’t see the way anymore, or because I’ve done enough, I feel like I’m done now. will stop fighting It must have been a very convenient way to become a bust. Perhaps… it was the most tempting and easiest path I’ve ever walked from birth to becoming a god.”
Transparent tears flowed down Rosa’s cheeks.
Remorse for the future she couldn’t remember, hatred for herself, and despair that no matter what she did, she couldn’t undo the terrible future that had already happened, were coldly cutting her inside.
There was nothing he could do against the real Rosa who had become a monster.
Jin closed his eyes tightly.
“As the standard bearer of the family, I am on my way to pay for that sin. If you have something to say to the deity, let me know.”
“Please… let death not be a comfortable escape. Even after death, that ugly soul and body are trapped somewhere and fall into pain, that even if eternity passes, that they will never be freed from it, that I… beside them… always be with them earnestly. More than anything, earnestly…”
The party held their breath for a moment. Even as she was dying, Rosa’s demonic spirit, which cursed herself with all her heart, was oppressing the people for a moment.
“I will tell you.”
Rosa’s remaining breath reached its end.
Jin decided to protect her death by his side.
Rosa talked to Jin while she was unconscious and coming back.
“You Jin… do you have a lover?”
“does not exist.”
“in the past.”
“I don’t know.”
“The one who has you in mind… or who has you in mind alone.”
“Why would you do that in this situation?”
“Because he is handsome… like Shiron. I… liked Chiron… because he was… handsome.”
big.
At that point, Jin eventually burst into laughter.
Chiron and Rosa’s children never had the memory of having such an ordinary, useless conversation with their parents.
“There is no one… neither handsomer nor stronger… than him…. He had no fellowship with anyone other than Shirone.”
“Is your father like that too?”
“If he’s still wandering the Black Sea, maybe… Shiron, unlike me, is still fighting.”
Rosa let out a handful of hot breaths.
“Jin… Son, I’m sorry.”
make sure to stop me
After saying that, Rosa died.
All the stories she spoke until right before she died were all things that Jin remembered and Rosa could never say.
‘Okay, I’ll do that.’
Jin answered inwardly and quietly closed Rosa’s eyelids.
Just as the dead Rosa regretted the future she didn’t know, Jin was sending her mother from the past she didn’t know.
Silence passed for a while.
“…The dead Rosa must have been an ego or a soul separated from the body.”
At Jin’s words, the party nodded. While listening to the conversation between the two, they were just making the same guess as Jin.
[Perhaps it was an unwanted or unexpected separation. I don’t remember feeling anything about interest in the inside of my chest during the time I was confined. Besides, it was Iza, not you, who was attacked at the last moment by the evil spirit.]
Alpen said, carrying the previous family head that had been lying next to Rosa from earlier.
He hadn’t regained consciousness yet, and neither Jin nor Alpen knew his true identity.
Young Rosa’s body was turning black. I saw the tumor of chaos that started in my chest growing rapidly.
Jin created a lump of flame in his palm.
It seemed that I should take care of it and leave before the body became more disfigured.
However, Jin, who was about to drop the flame, raised his head in a start.
Suddenly, the voice of the evil spirit was heard.
[I’m curious about how you felt watching my last remaining humanity disappear, maknae. This mother was expecting you to end it yourself…but this isn’t bad either.]
