Chapter 96 – 96. Happy ending of the lesser evil
The thing about a saint losing her divine power.
It wasn’t as simple as handing over the position simply because the gods had prepared the next person.
Could it be that that saintly woman had some other plan behind her back?
Didn’t the gods know that and took away their power?
People who celebrate retirement, but also question the premature exit.
But all I can give to those people is a smile.
Although I thought it was inevitable to have such doubts, I was grateful that it gave me an opportunity to reflect on myself to see if I had done something wrong.
And left.
Since the divine power is gone, the protection like the gods’ veil is also gone.
After giving my greatest blessing to the new saint, Lucia, I set off to find a place far away where there were no people.
The demons came somewhere in the Griffin Kingdom. A forest without a name.
There he was treated as a plaything of the devil for days on end.
The pain was more dizzying than I could imagine, and my body was ruined to the point where I couldn’t compare it to anyone else.
But even the devils’ grudge could not last forever.
The devil who bit off my hand said that it was full and left.
The devil who rotted my leg said it was no longer fun and abandoned me.
The demons who ripped out the eyes said they were happy and chewed them up before walking away.
I thought everything was over.
There was one devil left by my side.
“that’s interesting.”
She stayed until the end and was quite interested.
about me.
“It doesn’t hurt?”
That can’t be possible.
Even though it hurt, it hurt so much.
I screamed several times, fainted several times, and, to my shame, experienced incontinence.
I still remember the time I was forced to turn around, splashing in a puddle of blood.
It was the first time I regretted not being able to see. At that time, I didn’t even know if the sun or the moon was up.
My skin was so hot I couldn’t even feel the air around me.
“Is it daytime now? Or is it night?”
So I asked the devil.
Then the devil laughed and clicked his tongue.
“It’s night. However, the moon is so bright that you can clearly see the surroundings.”
I see
“That’s too bad. “I want to see you too.”
Even though I was looking towards the sky that I would never see again, a smile formed on my face.
“What’s funny?”
I gave a soft answer to the devil who asked nervously.
“Because it gives Lucia enough time to become a new saint.”
“under.”
The devil clicked his tongue in astonishment and slowly approached me, and I was certain that this was the last time.
What should I take?
The remaining right hand?
Or should I just take my life?
I waited for the devil with the intention of accepting anything.
She was more unique than I thought.
The pain in my body disappeared.
After healing my wound, she placed her hand on my head.
“Saint Stella. “I’ve met many saints, but I’ve never met a bitch like you.”
“Is this a compliment?”
“well. I’m not sure. Anyway, I’m a little curious about you.”
“… … yes?”
At that moment, I felt something being pushed into my head. The shock was more painful than any torture, so I couldn’t even scream or even think about breathing.
“My name is Velika. “The one responsible for deformity among the ten great devils on the continent.”
Great devil?
Those words filled my body with strength, but I was no longer able to resist.
“I will savor the woman you are, the one who is closest to deformity among saints.”
* * *
How long has it been?
Losing both eyes, Velika inhabiting my body, and living a stammering life in my memories.
The citizens who had always revered and cheered me as a saint did not even look at me, who had lost my hands, my legs had rotted away, and even my eyes had been gouged out.
It may have been something I did because I didn’t know I was a saint, but it definitely hurt me a lot.
But it’s okay.
People who smiled brightly along the path I walked.
The people who bowed their heads in gratitude and proudly declared that they would start a new life still remain in my heart.
Rather, because I was blind, I was able to live in memories of the past.
I could always smile when I remembered their smiles.

I lived that kind of life.
The gods took away my divine power, and I instantly fell and was crawling on the ground, but I thought I had already accomplished everything I could.
Even if I die like this and can’t be held in God’s arms.
In fact, they thought it was okay even if they didn’t collect the dead.
But that wasn’t it.
One day, Velika, who was with me, said to me.
“If you die like this, there will be no rest.”
“yes?”
“The devil’s resentment runs deep. “Even now, there are many demons who continue to watch over you and wait for you after your death.”
At that moment, thanks to the feeling that Velika gave me, I was able to feel those eerie gazes.
Countless creepy eyes were watching me from all directions.
Watching me break down, crawling on the floor, walking through the alleys, getting dirty.
They were giggling and watching, like audience members watching a play unfolding in a theater.
“The devil is not very interested in human souls. you are different A nobility that far surpasses that of ordinary humans. That would be the greatest entertainment for the devils.”
“… … .”
“After death, what awaits you is nothing but a life as a plaything for the devil.”
at last.
Pain that continues even after death.
It was said that hardships and tribulations never end.
“ah.”
It was my first time.
Hot tears flowed from my plucked eyes.
No, it must have been blood flowing in place of the tears since I couldn’t shed them.
The sticky blood seeping through the bandages wet my hands, and the heart-crushing pain distorted my chest.
The end of life is not a peaceful rest where everything is forgotten, but only despair at the hands of the devil.
Was this really the path that God had prepared for me?
So, what on earth does that mean?
“That… … “What is the reason you said that?”
I asked Velika while breathing heavily. Because her voice was soft, not like a devil.
“From now on, I will eat your memories.”
“… … .”
“You can’t hold out any longer. I know because I have been with you for years. If you don’t do this, you will eventually be broken.”
“Why on earth… … .”
Why are you doing it for me?
But I couldn’t say those words. She probably didn’t answer my question either.
That’s how I am.
everyday.
I started losing my memory.
* * *
Why was I here yesterday?
Asking that question has become a part of my daily routine. I asked Velika where this was, and she told me what I was trying to do.
At the end of such a long, long trip, I returned to Elia Convent.
I just prayed there.
I am afraid of what comes after death, but I ask for the courage to overcome it.
I just prayed and prayed.
but.
“Ugh, ugh.”
I couldn’t overcome it.
There was a limit to the pain that would continue forever even after death with the mental power of a simple human being.
In their insults and torture.
Not being able to lose consciousness when even death had disappeared gave me an overwhelming feeling of fear.
But thanks to Velika.
Yesterday’s pain did not continue until today.
I always lived in the same pain, but the next day I started over again, forgetting about the pain I had experienced.
Then one day.
I thought I had fallen asleep, but then I realized that my hands were damp.
When I woke up again, I was shocked that my memories of yesterday were intact.
And Velika said:
“I have called the person who can give you the end of everything.” Called.
I did not understand.
I didn’t know what it meant.
However, soon after, I learned about the murder and demon summoning that occurred at the convent when I heard from the abbess.
That Velika did something with my body.
Is it because you’ve been with me for so long?
She was able to move my body without me knowing.
That day, I raised my voice and fought with Velika for the first time.
“You shouldn’t have done that! “I don’t know what your plan is, but you shouldn’t have killed innocent children!”
“It wasn’t sinless. Their eyes were full of greed. “You can trust my words, even though I am the devil.”
“but… … !”
“In the first place, they were blind people who even summoned demons to become saints.”
“You may be foolish, but you can repent and be reborn! “Humans can change!”
“stellar.”
It was my first time.
The reason Velika’s voice was so kind.
“You have carried so much pain.”
“… … .”
“I am the only one who understands you. Stella, your end shouldn’t be like this. “You must not end up playing in the hands of dirty devils like me.”
“Bell, Rika?”
“Even though I want to protect you, other great devils are also targeting you. “I guess I’m coveting it because I’ve been with you for a long time.”
Velika also apologized, saying that although it was unintentional, her presence had brought in other great evils.
“I cannot give you rest.”
“… … .”
“There will be no pain after death.”
Grinning.
Why?
Although I couldn’t see it, I had the feeling that Velika was smiling.
“I am the deformed archdemon, Velika.”
“… … .”
“So even the devil’s qualities may have been strangely distorted.”
I tried to call her, but no words came out of my mouth.
However, although the hands were rough, I felt like they were gently hugging me.
“You win, Stella.”
* * *
But things went wrong.
It seems that Velica was trying to invite Saint Lucia to the convent.
The man who came to see me was the first I had ever heard of.
It was the funeral director, Deius Verdi.
After the nuns died, even though Velika did not take my memories away, I continued to act like I lost my memories.
Because I can’t explain the reason to the abbess.
But quite by coincidence.
Because of my memory loss, I had a lot of conversations with the spirit master, and he uncovered my secrets.
No, I led Velika and I to find it.
With Velika’s help, my leg healed again, and it was only then that I realized what Velika’s intentions were.
I decided to act as she intended.
It was fortunate that Deius had the Holy Grail. Because naturally we could die.
And now.
I am coming to my end in a truly beautiful scene.
A situation where countless souls filled with divine power are clinging to me and trying to offer me salvation in the name of death.
“stellar.”
Velika said to me as I was looking at this beautiful sight.
“yes?”
Anyway, since it was a great evil, if it came out of my body, I would die immediately from the impact, but she would be able to live.
But Velika didn’t leave.
It just stayed with me.
“I think I can only be like Comrade Gil. “Only God knows the title of the saint who first destroyed the Great Devil.”
“… … .”
“I’m sorry that I couldn’t prepare for an ending like this.”
Really, you don’t know anything.
“no.”
Many souls are working hard for me. They were truly sorry for throwing away their rest.
Still, I too will be swept away by the divine power and disappear along with it.
At least I can join them.
“At the end of this, I was able to be myself again.”
The spirits and Velika who let me know that everything I have done was not wrong.
And Deius Verdi.
“I’m just grateful.”
Pain that continues even after death.
In order to cut it off, my soul itself had to disappear.
For saving me.
Thanks, everyone.
Thank you, Velika.
And thank you, Shinwoo Kim.
My eyelids gradually began to close due to fatigue.
I smiled slowly.
every.
Bye.
Wow!
At the edge of extinction.
I opened my eyes involuntarily when I felt the rough touch of my wrist being snatched.
“If you could call a lesser evil that avoids the worst a happy ending.”
The funeral director gave me a faint smile as he pulled me as I was disappearing.
“I won’t let you go.”
