Chapter 335
What on earth happened to you? It was only then that Sandra came to her senses, feeling the warmth warming her cold body from the rain.
“why… … .”
Sandra was curious. I thought everything was over, but why is the other person hugging me so hard that my arms are broken?
The mercenaries who were aiming their swords at Shin Yu-seong’s sudden action stopped moving, and Sandra only expressed her doubts as she sorted out her complicated thoughts.
“You said you came to prevent war. In that case, if you kill me, the instigator, everything will end… … .”
Sandra, who lost her grip on the sword, fell down as if her strength was gone. The floor was muddy with rainwater, but Sandra didn’t care.
“Why me… … .”
There was just one question filling her mind right now. However, instead of answering, Shin Yu-seong shook her head and asked back.
“Previously… … I’d like to ask you a question. “Isn’t it unfair?”
“… … “Are you feeling unfair?”
Sandra let out a helpless laugh. There was no need to answer such questions.
Even the revenge I gave everything for failed. She was so angry and wronged that tears of blood flowed from her wide-open eyes.
“Now come…” … “What good are those words?”
When Sandra clenched her fists and lowered her head in exasperation, Shin Yu-seong nodded in a much softer voice.
“I just wanted you to be recognized. A life where you lose precious people due to false accusations and spend most of your life in the battlefield. “It would definitely be an unfair and resentful life.”
I’m sure we’ve had similar conversations before, but this time there was a big difference. Shin Yu-seong knew all of Sandra’s circumstances, and Sandra realized that Shin Yu-seong’s uprightness was different from her thoughts.
I thought she was a pure girl who only dreamed of a beautiful utopia because she lived like a flower in a greenhouse, but what Shin Yu-seong showed today was closer to a warrior than anyone else.
What kind of training did you go through to have that kind of power? What kind of mindset did you live with? Power is not given for free. I obviously had to go through the process of cutting bones and vomiting blood.
Sandra thought Shin Yu-seong’s words about stopping the war were just an immature girl’s fantasy, but she was the one who did not recognize the other person.
Shin Yu-seong was strong.
He had a warm heart that allowed him to understand others, and the strength to follow the choices he thought were right at any moment.
“… … Is it sympathy?”
When Sandra, who had given up on everything, smiled and laughed bitterly, Shin Yu-seong shook her head.
“It’s not sympathy. I think you should have a chance. … … “A chance to choose your own end.”
Shin Yu-seong pointed to the outer wall of the castle, which was still at war. Shin Yu-seong was able to subdue Sandra, but he was not the person who could end this war without damage. That’s something only Sandra can do. Therefore, Shin Yu-seong looked down at Sandra and asked.
“… … Let me ask you one last question. Now that revenge has failed. What is your final choice? “Are you going to meet your end on this beach with the people of Women’s Island who believed in you and followed you?”
Shin Yoo-seong’s words struck Sandra where it hurt the most. Without the pretext of winning the war, this war was nothing more than Sandra personally throwing her followers into the fiery pit.
“If not… … “I will help you.”
As Shin Yu-seong stretched out his hand with those words, Sandra looked up with an expression of disbelief.
“You want to help me? Me stained with blood? Why on earth… … .”
Sandra and the mercenaries of Woman Island were a thorn in the side of neighboring countries. Like hyenas, they made a living by moving between the weak and the strong.
“By your standards, I am a villain. Saving me… … “What does it mean?”
“My purpose is neither your punishment Sandra nor Seiden’s salvation. Didn’t you tell me? “I will prevent war at all costs.”
Shin Yu-seong didn’t like Seiden’s method or Sandra’s method. Now, what is the meaning of dividing the two camps with vague words such as good and evil?
In life, anyone can become Seiden and anyone can become Sandra.
“So, please change the ending of this story of despair so that there are no more senseless victims.”
Sigh-
The moment Shin Yu-seong stretched out his hand.
Sandra’s world began to change little by little. The red-stained world shone brightly, and the cold rain had suddenly stopped.
How great would it be if you too could belong to that bright light?
“The first day I went to war… … The Ten Seals praised me and gave me a piece of bread. Those who first come to the battlefield are scared and run away… … I was the only one left unharmed… … .”
Sandra laughed out loud helplessly and slowly began to remember.
Sandra was not a fan of war, much less a bloodthirsty madman. He was terrified when his life was in danger, and there were days when he wanted to run away from the brutal war.
“He looked at me and said I was different from the rest of the cowards… … He said that I was really brave… … . But that’s wrong.”
Is this an aftereffect of unlocking the ability?
The mana she had used so far was regressing, and the strength inside Sandra was gradually draining away. His rain-soaked head felt heavy, as if it would hit the ground at any moment.
Tuk-tuk-
Nevertheless, Sandra smiled, lightly shaking off the water droplets from her hair.
“That’s a stupid thing to say. The reason I didn’t run away wasn’t because I was brave. It’s just that I was more scared of running away… … .”
Sandra blocked the pouring light with her hand. I was so dazzled by the light flowing through my fingers sparsely.
“Hehe… … Suddenly a thought occurred to me. If I end up on this battlefield… … . Where should I go? “Maybe I’ll be able to return to my family.”
Sandra smiled and shed tears. I thought the tears I shed for the first time in 20 years would be as cold as the seawater of the archipelago, but they were too warm.
“The reason I went undefeated was because everyone was a coward… … . I wanted to die… … I can’t lose… … .”
Sandra, who was a mess, sobbed and laughed, wondering what the joy was.
“I just… … I just wanted to go back. To the happy past… … .”
Due to the flowering of Sandra’s abilities, her red eyes had returned to their normal state. Her mercenary members all shed tears as they watched her up close as her always strong warrior showed her vulnerable side for the first time.
“Sandra… … .”
“Sandra’s great work is so futile! Hmm… … .”
Shin Yu-seong still waited for Sandra with his hand outstretched. Her first burst of sobs and her tears did not stop, but still he waited leisurely for her. She watched over Sandra enough to make sure she used her first opportunity without regret.
“The rest is your choice. Sandra. If you give up the war, I will help you. “If Seiden stops you, I will protect you at all costs.”
The rest is up to Sandra.
Drip-drip-
Sandra looked around, wiping away tears from her messed up face. When Sandra stopped deploying her powers, Seiden’s knights also followed Shin Yooseong’s will and waited for him to make a choice, and the knights who came to their senses put down their swords and sat down.
“I-I…” … .”
Sandra trailed off.
20 years. It’s a 20-year pledge.
Those were not values that could be changed in just one day. Now, if he gave up revenge, he was deeply afraid of the memories that would come back to him.

Can you become brave?
Can we step out of the shadows and into the bright light?
That weight… Can you hold on?
“afraid… … . It would be natural since my desire for revenge on Seiden was everything to me. With my goal gone, I don’t know what to do… … You never know what kind of life awaits you… … .”
Sandra lowered her head, closed her eyes, and chanted. What is left for him who has let go of both his life as a mercenary and his position as an archipelago?
“… … “I will be left alone again.”
Wouldn’t the only result being that you’re the same person you were 20 years ago? What meaning is there in such a life?
It was a time when I just wanted to give up everything.
Wobble- Twist-
“Even if that happens, I won’t be by Sandra’s side…” … “I am here.”
Peria, supported by Sumire, struggled to comfort Sandra.
“Sandra… … This is the person who supported my research, which everyone in the Magic Tower laughed at as a dream-like story. The reason I came to Women’s Island was purely thanks to the faith given to me by Sandra… … . No matter what path Sandra takes, I… … “I will never leave Sandra’s side.”
Peria wasn’t the only one who decided to follow Sandra. Most of the mercenaries on Women’s Island, including Benian, whose hair stood on end after being hit directly by electricity, wished to remain by Sandra’s side.
“… … Sandra is our leader. “He is the only one who gave us a place when we were wandering with nowhere to go.”
Tuk-
When Benian laughed and said the same thing while holding the sword on the floor, Sandra smiled and closed her eyes.
He is a coward.
He was not brave enough to give up revenge, and he was a foolish person who wanted to see his family again even if he had to die.
Nevertheless, Sandra had to be reborn. He had to escape the dark shadows and live a new life in the warm light.
It was something I did for myself.
It was for those who believed in him, and it was also for his family who had already passed away.
“It’s a moment of choice.”
Sandra opened her eyes and looked at Shin Yu-seong with a smile.
“Can you tell me your name?”
An unidentified girl who lost her memory and came to Women’s Island. She is a girl with incredible skills that can easily block her. A girl with a warmer heart than anyone else.
Sandra had doubts about everything.
“Shin Yu-seong.”
I hoped I would never forget that name.
“It’s Shin Yuseong… … . Right.”
Sandra took Shin Yu-seong’s outstretched hand. I was dizzy from the bright light pouring in, but it didn’t feel too bad.
“My choice is to start anew together with everyone. Thanks to you. … … “I wanted to believe that there was something more important than revenge.”
Whether Sandra’s last words would be a lie to avoid a crisis or the truth was a difficult question that even God could not know.
Paaa-!
[You have successfully conquered the 20th floor through the hidden quest.]
[Hidden Quest: Sandra’s Light]
[Details – You opened Sandra’s injured heart and prevented a war without major damage between the two sides. The mercenaries of Women’s Island will remember you forever, and the bards of Seiden will sing of your achievements.]
‘but.’
An ending like this, which is not one of despair for everyone, was also acknowledged. This is an ending that can be reached because Shin Yuseong is not only strong, but also has a warmer heart than any other hunter.
‘The tower approved this ending.’
Therefore, Shin Yu-seong was a hunter who was closer to the ‘Top Truth’ than anyone else.
