Chapter6. When you feel safe, hit your back. (3)
“What will you do if you find out?”
He sneered at the guy as if he were showing off. And he stretched out his arm to grab the rest of the chain.
At that time, Black Star’s movements suddenly became quiet.
“hmm?”
I let out a strange groan for a moment.
‘I’m not the type of person to give up like this, am I?’
My expectations were exactly right.
The next moment, Black Star’s knees were slightly bent.
‘… … ‘This bastard, really?’
I immediately realized his intentions.
Sure enough, the guy started running towards the wall in front. He was trying to throw me off by slamming his body into the wall.
“Ugh!”
The young man covered his eyes again and screamed.
“No way!”
At that moment, I succeeded in grabbing the last chain.
Crack!
With the sound of chains rubbing violently,
“Puruk!”
Black Star’s body stopped. But the guy didn’t give up.
Its golden eyes heated up like molten, sizzling lava in a furnace.
The opposite pulling force at the end of the chain became stronger.
Giggeek, Giggeek.
Little by little, the chain slipped out of my hand and tried to be pushed towards Black Star.
Black Star began a power struggle with me.
“joy.”
I twisted the corner of my mouth and smiled.
I put pressure on my fingertips and pulled my chin shut. The muscles in her arms swelled to the point of bursting, and the tips of her fingers, which she held tightly, turned white.
Geek.
The chain made an unpleasant sound and was pulled towards me.
“Puh, rrrrrrrrrrr….”
Black Star’s whole body trembled. Even though the part where the chain was pulling must have been quite painful, the guy showed no signs of giving up.
“He’s a toxic guy.”
This guy has probably never ridden a human on top of him in his life.
A man who locked himself in a dark cage and fed him just enough food to keep him from dying.
The fact that the object of that hatred was on top of me was making him bitter. But there was no point in showing that harshness in front of me.
As you know, being toxic is relative.
“You’d better give up.”
He let out a low laugh and mobilized his last resort.
“…….”
I closed my eyes and focused inward.
Void, the energy of Requiem. The very thing that Diego abhorred.
And, the violence he unleashed right before he broke my arm.
There were stark differences between the two, but at the same time they had essential similarities.
‘There is a difference between absolute territory and spreading life.’
The absolute realm is to pull out energy and senses as thin and long as a thread and unfold them. Something special that others cannot feel and that only I can perceive.
However, the life that Diego exudes is somewhat hazy. It seems tangible, but at the same time, it is invisible to the eye.
‘This… … Yes, fog. ‘Like fog.’
A mist that slowly wets the other person’s feet, crawls up their ankles, and suddenly makes their breathing difficult.
As if instinctively or already knowing, a black energy began to radiate from my body.
“Puh……reuk.”
For an instant, Black Star’s movements stopped. The end of the chain, which had been pulled tightly, became loose.
This is it.
After gaining confidence, I focused even more on that feeling. It was thin, like fog, adding to the feeling that it was emanating from the body.
“Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ……”
The violent cries that were filled with anger gradually lost their strength.
More, more. Until you completely surrender.
We tried to extract the energy more deeply, heavily, and tightly.
It spreads like a curtain, so that anyone with a sensitive sense of energy would not even dare to try to break through it.
‘Like Diego.’
I drew what I was aiming for and what I wanted to become. I overlaid him on top of me.
In that way, he tightly bound the chain with his fingertips and sharpened the deadly force he unleashed to become even sharper and sharper.
And finally,
“……Kkiing.”
A cry of surrender flowed from Black Star’s mouth.
Clang, thud.
When the guy stopped resisting, the loosened chain hung down.
“Kkiiing.”

Black Star lowered his head helplessly. His much more docile attitude was proof that he had decided to obey me.
To a human being who exerts enormous pressure that even he, a high-ranking monster, cannot withstand.
“That’s right.”
I lifted the corners of my mouth and smiled.
I am satisfied that Black Star is completely in my hands.

“Puh-ha!”
The air at dawn was cold, and the water that had been kept in the bucket all night was even colder.
“Ugh.”
Melina put her hand in the bucket and clicked her teeth together.
“Winter will be just a little while now.”
If you wash your face like this at that time, your hands and face will be frozen.
As she was thinking that, she stared blankly at her face reflected in the bucket.
“Okay.”
Originally, Melina would secretly smile while looking at the water or her face reflected in the mirror.
Even in my opinion, it was rare to see someone as fair as me in this territory. Despite the charcoal soot staining the walls of the blacksmith shop, Melina’s neat beauty did not fade.
“Haaa.”
But after what happened a few days ago, whenever Melina looked at my face, instead of smiling, she would sigh in frustration.
‘Your face isn’t to my taste either.’
A word uttered with a faint laugh. Those words from her Abel remained in her mind and tormented her forever.
Melina pouted her lips with a sulky face.
“Isn’t that good enough for me?”
She smoothed her cheek with her wet hands. Her youthful cheeks were smooth and her beautiful features were full of freshness.
“All the boys told me I was pretty.”
In fact, most of the boys in the village confessed to Melina at least once. Although everyone was scared by Melina’s vicious drunkenness and ran away.
“Melina! Are you there yet?”
As Melina looked into the bucket for a while, her mother Alessia’s voice flew into Melina’s ears.
Ground pound!
This was followed by the sound of strong banging on an anvil.
Lately, Alessia has been busy delivering materials to the border.
But even though she was busy, she had a smile on her face and her bright complexion was tinged with vitality.
And Melina really enjoyed seeing her mother like that.
“I’ll be there soon!”
Melina answered vigorously and washed her face.
“Ugh, my hands are cold.”
My face was shaking and I fumbled with my hands to find the towel next to me.
“Where did it go?”
The moment I muttered,
“It’s old.”
A familiar voice was heard and a hand placed on the chin and towel.
“It’s mom!”
Melina was startled and took a step back. Abel, standing with his arms crossed, caught her eye.
“I’m not a mother.”
Abel blurted out with a sullen expression. Melina was so shocked that she froze in place, clutching the towel.
“Oh, that. Uh….”
What should I say?
Melina’s mind turned completely white. It was surprising that we met her so suddenly, but I didn’t expect her to say something like that.
Then, when I felt Abel’s staring gaze, I finally came to my senses.
“Ah, hello, master.”
He lowered his head, hiding the towel he was holding behind his back. The water ran down her face and dripped onto the floor.
“ah.”
I was washing my face.
My face heated up because I felt embarrassed.
While Melina was unable to do one thing or another, Abel’s gaze passed by the tips of her red ears.
“Does watermelon become a pumpkin if you wash it?”
“yes?”
Melina was shocked and raised her head. She then looked at me and met Abel’s glimmer of a smile.
“Well, it’s better than last time.”
He said one word and turned around.
“Are you in Alessia?”
Abel didn’t pay attention to Melina’s answer and walked straight into the blacksmith shop.
“ah…….”
Melina couldn’t move for a moment, trying to suppress her pounding heart. Then, before she knew it, she realized that the heat on her face had dried her face.
“-!”
Melina’s face turned red. Even though she hadn’t even touched a glass of alcohol to her lips.
“Ugh, really.”
Why do I keep being swayed by Abel like this? The fact that he was just the lord’s son, he seemed embarrassed for other reasons.
“Why am I like this?”
Melina shook her head and walked toward the blacksmith shop.
❖ ❖ ❖
“Hoo.”
I whistled as I entered Alessia’s blacksmith shop.
“who…….”
Alessia, who had just turned her head, widened her eyes.
“Oh, Master Abel?”
She stopped banging on the anvil and hurriedly stood up.
“See you, Master.”
“Yes, yes.”
I greeted her half-heartedly. And I looked around with interest.
Alessia’s blacksmith shop had changed significantly from the last time. Not only was her furnace constantly burning, but the area around it was also full of all kinds of things she had made.
“Hmm.”
My eyes lingered particularly long on those items.
“Hey, master.”
Seeing me like that, Alessia let out a voice filled with concern.
“What’s going on here?”
“Have I come somewhere I shouldn’t?”
“……That’s not true.”
You probably thought there was no way I would come back after what happened last time. No, more accurately, he didn’t want to see me again.
It was clear when I saw Alessia’s eyes shaking loudly. Her eyes were full of anxiety about why I came back.
“Was there any problem with the last item?”
“If so,”
I burst out laughing.
“You couldn’t have been alive until now.”
Because I was ruled by Requiem, I would have swept away the entire territory.
“……!”
Alessia’s face turned blue.
She, who did not hear what I said, must have mistakenly thought that my head had been taken away by my angry hands.
“Well, anyway.”
I approached her and pointed to the items around me with my chin.
“It seems like things are going pretty well after that.”
“……Yes that’s right.”
“Has the green light ever flashed again after that?”
Alessia’s face became strange at the new topic I brought up.
“Oh, yes. It happened often.”
“Which of these is it?”
“Ah… that.”
Alessia made an embarrassed expression.
“They destroyed everything.”
“……what?”
My eyes flashed fiercely. She answered in a voice that made Alessia crawl away in fright.
“It feels kind of ominous… I might be possessed by a ghost.”
No, what kind of ghost is this?
I pounded my heart in frustration.
‘shit.’
Because I was in a hurry, I didn’t tell them in detail, and this happened. Certainly, it may feel that way from her perspective as she does not know her circumstances.
‘But if you use it, there’s no way you wouldn’t know it’s not sinister, right?’
I asked with a frown.
“What was it? Tell me what you remember.”
“hmm…….”
Alessia rested her chin and was lost in thought.
“It was a sickle and an axe.”
“Hmm.”
I nodded.
If such an item contained the power of a guardian, it would have been difficult to feel it.
‘Because sickles and axes are objects to harm others.’
Of course, in the case of Alessia, it was probably made to be given to ordinary farmers.
Maybe what she was thinking at the time was… … .
‘I would have wished for their prosperity and well-being.’
Such is the power of the Guardian.
It is the manifestation of the strong desire and will of the creator.
