Chapter 660
Episode 167. Temar’s Fifth Tomb (4)
Pooh-!
Black blood tinged with chaos splattered on their faces.
Runtia, who had been wielding her sword non-stop while her body was being shattered, finally stopped moving.
[Big… … .]
At first glance, on the back of Runtia, I could see disconnected connections like threads.
The connection points tried to converge on Runtia again, but it seemed to be blocked by the thunder scar left by the king’s sword.
Particles of chaos were falling like black rain between the cracks in subspace.
He stabbed his brother, whom he felt a sense of kinship with.
It was said that the situation had no choice but to do so, but it felt like something had broken in my heart.
[I… … You lost.]
A rustling sound came from Runtia’s hoarse throat.
Jin didn’t twist the sword that stabbed her in the chest.
If possible, I wanted to talk to my sister one last time.
If Runtia, who was facing death, could shake off her madness even a little.
“Sister Runtia.”
[Whoops.]
“Are you awake?”
[the youngest… … .]
Jin’s eyes widened.
Runtia’s reason was returning.
Runtia slowly grabbed Bradamante’s blade.
The eyes of Runtia, who alternately stared at the blade and Jin, were not black colored by chaos.
In response to the shocking emotions that suddenly came rushing in, Runtia tightly closed her eyes once.
[I must have done something too harsh to you… … .]
With what little strength she had left, she began to push the blade away from me.
It was not an act of counterattack.
Jin carefully helped her remove the sword from her body.
Every time she moved or exerted strength, the stone-hard, calluses of flesh fell off.
As soon as the sword was drawn, Runtia took a slow breath.
Jin couldn’t decide what to say to her.
[You stabbing me was an inevitable choice.]
Jin had only seen a human who was completely engulfed in chaos seek reason.
It was when Ron Highlan entered the Changseong, but it seemed that Runtia regained reason for a different reason from him.
She wasn’t as creative as Ron.
[It couldn’t have been better. If it wasn’t for you, I would have had to endure meaningless years dominated by this dark space and chaos.]
“How come… … Did this happen?”
At those words, Runtia responded with a bitter smile.
[Because of the family.]
family.
The family she was talking about was probably not Rosa or her other siblings.
When Runkandel used the word family, as if referring to something very precious, it usually meant other people, not blood relatives.
A nanny who acts more like a real parent than a parent, a colleague formed in the process of growing up, a person who gave her heart, or a sibling who became close in a very special case.
So Jin could immediately think of one person’s name.
“… … Lisam’s nanny. Did Rosa and the Prophet hold Risham hostage?”
Lisham, she is the nanny of Runtia Runkandel.
The reason Jin asked if Runtia had a weakness before the battle started was because he had Lisham in mind from the beginning.
Runtia nodded.
[The nanny asked me for a favor.]
“Nanny Risham asked my sister to accept the chaos… … ?”
The nannies in Runcandel that Jin had seen so far were devoted to the point of being harsh.
Individual lives do not exist for nannies.
They strictly exist only for the children they entrusted to them, and did not do anything that would harm them under any circumstances.
Tymune Marius, who had deceived Luna, eventually became Joshua’s dog, but the essence of it was a twisted love for Luna.
Not even Gilly, nor even Tymune would have asked his child to accept chaos.
As far as Jin knew, Risham was such a person.
For the sake of Runtia, he was willing to risk death or even a more severe price.
“Hasn’t Nanny Risham already been brainwashed?”
[No, the nanny was fine. only… … .]
Runtia’s eyes turned red.
[They had a daughter.]
“To Nanny Risham, daughter.”
Runkandel’s nanny can’t have children.
Even the adopted children raised by Tymeune in the orphanage were just weapons to be used and discarded at any time.
If they were Tymune’s biological children, Runkandel would not have chosen Tymune as their nanny.
However, Risham has a biological son.
Even without listening, Jin seemed to know the unpleasant circumstances that would follow.

[When I was in Storm Castle, the nanny was away for about a year. She said then she gave birth to a daughter… … .]
Risham was in danger of paying a cruel price for breaking the law as a nanny.
The three-legged family, including the biological son who had just been born, were almost killed.
But Risham paid nothing.
[At that time, my father personally covered the work.]
At that time, Shiron covered Lisham’s sins with a single word, and saved her family and three generations.
It was the first time that a nanny broke the family law in the era of Shiron and covered it up.
Instead, after giving birth, Risham never saw her daughter and her three legs again, and they were all expelled from Hufester and moved to a small town in the Magical Federation of Lutero.
-… … The reason the family head forgave me at the time was probably because of the young lady.
-Is it because of me?
– The young lady cared for me very much when I was young. Of course it still is.
-If it were my father, he would have regarded me as lacking in determination and fighting spirit. That’s why I couldn’t have saved the nanny and her lineage.
– But I’m alive like this, lady. And I’m old now, and I don’t have much time to live… … Not seen since that day, she said that her daughter is living a normal life with her family. She has a normal and happy life.
-under… … .
-Sir Rosa said she would now kill all those children. Since the head of the household was indifferent, originally, even Sir Rosa did not know where the children were living… … Lady Illina said she found it.
– What is it, wake up. nurse. Come on.
– I have dedicated my whole life to you. I gave my youth and all my life. So just once… … Couldn’t you just have mercy on this poor man just once?
-I’ll try to dry my mother. Wake up, don’t do this!
– That alone can’t live on for my daughter and grandchildren… … .
Rosa’s condition was that Runtia would ‘replace’ the owner of this subspace.
On behalf of the original owner of this sub-space.
Runtia accepted the condition.
While Runtia was explaining these things, Jin’s head was shaking as he tried to control the hatred for Rosa that was welling up in his heart.
[They said it was a year. It was said that it was enough to replace the being who was originally the owner of this subspace for just one year. The old teenage knight Padler Runkandel, he was originally the owner of this place.]
It was expected that the Prophet would bring Fadler out of the tomb, but he had never thought that Runtia would take her place.
I didn’t even know that such a thing was possible in the first place.
“Damn it… … .”
[But as soon as I took the place of Lord Fadler through Illina’s abilities, I realized that was a lie. I couldn’t get out of this place even after 100 years, not just one year. The Prophet might have another method I didn’t know about, but I was sure. I have completely become one with the subspace.]
That was the reason Runtia was able to regain her sanity even after being engulfed in chaos.
She was no longer the human Runtia Runcandel, but the subspace itself.
Therefore, as much as the spirit of spirit in the subspace was consumed, the chaos that engulfed her also faded.
That also meant that Runtia would die the moment subspace collapsed.
Even now, the subspace was breaking in real time. Dropping the black rain of chaos.
Jin’s gaze reached the connection point.
“If I connect them back to you, will I be able to live?”
[That’s right, the entire subspace hasn’t been completely destroyed yet. But I don’t really want that, youngest. I think it would be better if it ended like this. At least reason came back, and when I could die with myself.]
“How did your sister get in here? I think the Prophet could make you a replacement for Lord Padler, but I don’t know how to get back in here.”
[It could be. But does it matter? The purpose would have been to use Lord Fadler here as a full force instead of me anyway.]
“I know one sure way to get in here. As long as my sister is alive, someday, when I can save her, I will be able to come back. It’s not yet possible to cure cases like Encroachment or Sister, but there are ways to cleanse the chaos.”
[If I reconnect to that, I’ll go crazy again.]
“I don’t want to lose my sister like this. If you persevere, I will make sure that purification is possible. If my sister disappears like this, I can’t take revenge on them, sister. There is no guarantee that they would have saved Nanny Risham’s daughter now.”
[Yes, there is no such guarantee. There was only her mother’s promise. If the nanny had told me before her family was taken hostage, I might have found another way. I couldn’t do otherwise at that time. I couldn’t ignore the nanny, I.]
“Even if it were me, I wouldn’t have turned away from Gilly. I will check on and protect Nanny Risham’s family, so please wait.”
Runtia pondered for a moment, then nodded.
[i get it. I’m falling into a trap anyway, so I’m struggling… … But, why do you do this to me? It wouldn’t be too bad for you if you just kill me here.]
“Then wouldn’t we be a better family, sister and I?”
Jin grabbed the connecting points.
[Jin, if I get the power of subspace again now.]
“After I find the hyster, I will connect you. If you have the strength to move, please help. You said Hester is hiding somewhere in this subspace.”
[Don’t do that.]
