Episode 291. Retribution (3)
A word that forcibly held my spirit on the verge of extinction.
Emily faced the person holding her body with wide eyes.
“Do you, master?”
Even though my vision was a little blurry, it was definitely there.
He is his only master and master in this world.
It was Sian.
-Whoa!
Mana and fog mixed together and gathered in his other hand, which was not supporting his body.
Sian boldly inserted the spheres he had collected into Emily’s body.
The sphere was sucked in as it was.
“Suction!!”
5-star dark attribute unique magic ‘Absorption’.
It was a magic that sucked up poison or impurities from the target’s body and moved them to one’s own body, healing and purifying the target through the caster’s sacrifice.
“No, master! Then, the poison enters your body… … !”
“doesn’t care.”
Emily tried to stop him, but Sian paid no heed and continued to suck her poison.
Xian, who had absorbed all of the poison, felt dizzy and hesitated slightly.
However, it did not collapse.
Instead, he spat on the floor, which contained some of the poison he had sucked in.
“Gwae, are you okay, master?”
“It’s not even close to this level.”
Since the body was forged with the blood of a demonic beast and was already beyond the human category, it was not that big of a blow.
Sian gently let go of Emily’s body, and she immediately fell down.
Then he stared at Xian with a blank gaze.
“How did you get here?”
“I guess that’s not important?”
“I guess you really didn’t want to lose me? “What if I see you running like this in just a month?”
“If not you, who will take care of me?”
“Yes, of course.”
Emily lowered her head, laughing involuntarily.
-pop
But for some reason, a drop of water fell on the floor.
In confusion, I touched my face and saw tears streaming down from both eyes.
Sian silently covered Emily with a cloak.
“Ma, look at the condition of the cloak! How long have you been wandering around to get this worn out? “I’ll have to repair it as soon as I get back!”
“So.”
Sian said to do as he pleased and trudged forward, leaving Emily behind.
As he passed, Emily whispered softly as if she was talking to herself.
“Other than me, who else would repair your cloak?”
With a resolute determination not to hand it over to anyone else, Emily held onto Sian’s cloak tightly.
“Do you think you won?”
Haniel glared at the approaching Xian.
“Your actions ultimately destroy the order of this world! “You’re just adding more work for my son!”
A desperate scream that is always uttered when humans are pushed to the edge.
For Sian, seeing situations like this was all too familiar.
“Soon your people will regret it too! “The ignorance of those who followed someone who was not right as their savior!”
Haniel was overcome by evil and continued to reprimand Xian.
Sian looked down at her calmly, without any reaction.
“That damn order. “Why are you so obsessed?”
Now, I’ve heard those words so tiresomely that it makes my ears tingle.
Haniel answered with a laugh.
“There is no such thing as a reason! “I just lived my life faithfully following my instincts as a human being!”
At this, Xian’s brow furrowed slightly.
“Just as people live, fill their stomachs, sleep, and satisfy their desires! I, too, have lived for such a long time to realize the value of my existence! “With this dirty blood in your body!”
Haniel proudly showed the blood flowing between his elbows to Sian.
“Don’t think this is the end! As long as my son and my savior still live! This world will never tolerate you, Sian Wert!”
“So where is your savior now?”
Haniel immediately stopped speaking at that one word.
“If you are the savior you trust so much, shouldn’t you come to save you from this situation?”
However, the savior was nowhere to be seen.
Haniel couldn’t even tell him that he would be there soon.
“It seems like you already know. That the savior will not come to save you… … .”
A situation that cannot be denied or confirmed in any way.
Haniel’s face, which had been overcome by evil, soon became distorted with despair.
Xian pulled out Kairam and pointed it at her.
However, he only aimed, did not execute or judge anything, and just looked at her silently.
Then, he finally seemed to put his sword away, and turned to face Emily.

“… … ?”
Haniel looked like he couldn’t believe that he wasn’t punished.
Emily also looked at Sian, who had returned in vain, with bewildered eyes.
“Just, are you going?”
“uh.”
“But because of that woman, many knights, including my father, suffered misfortune. Including you. “Are you sure you can just leave?”
“Now that you think about it, what do you think would be the most painful revenge you could inflict on that woman?”
Emily was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected question.
“It’s probably just for show. She saw something she had believed in and hoped for so cruelly ruined… … .”
“that’s right. But now I don’t have that something.”
Emily nodded as if she finally understood.
“So, no matter what you do now, I’m not angry. “If that’s the case, it’s better not to touch it.”
With those words, Sian helped Emily and left the scene.
Haniel, who was left alone, looked helplessly behind them as they walked away, but once again fired a lot of light at the sky.
“Kyahahaha! How foolish! Did you think I would self-destruct like this? “I’m not done yet!”
Then, looking at his own blood flowing hotly, he confirmed that the power of deception was still alive and well.
“First, I will get my son back! After that, I’ll show you the power of a true witch! This time no one can stop it… … !”
“witch?”
A cool voice that cools down the rapidly rising heat in an instant.
Haniel’s muscles and nerves were frozen, and he froze in place.
“You were a witch? “So you’re the one who gave the pendant to that guy named Eshel and tried to make me angry and invade the human world?”
The owner of the voice picked up the pendant scattered on the floor and showed it to her.
Haniel barely turned his head to face him.
Demon King Belkarion.
Following Xian, this time the strongest person in the demon world appeared to her.
“I never understood that the mind was more difficult than the body. Even if you’re having a hard time mentally, how hard is it? “I thought it was at a level where I could endure everything.”
-Kwasik
The pendant he held in his hand soon shattered into shapeless pieces.
“But because of you, I had a very good experience. “Shouldn’t I repay you guys for giving me such a valuable experience that I really don’t want to experience again?”
The surrounding area is slowly starting to be engulfed by dark red demon energy.
Haniel couldn’t even run away, let alone resist, and his body just trembled endlessly.
“okay! “I will give you the worst pain you will ever experience again!”
“… … !”
“Adding all the pain that I, Bestie, and the residents of the demon world felt, it is a heinous pain that we will never forget even in the next life!”
In the deserted forest, the echo of someone’s desperate pain resonated,
“Shhhhhh!!”
The existence of salvation for her never appeared.
* * *
I heard a desperate scream coming from the direction I had come from, but I ignored it.
Anyway, even if I go now, the situation won’t change.
“How did you know I was here?”
As there was an uncharacteristically awkward silence, Emily looked at me and asked carefully.
“I didn’t specifically go looking for you. “I went there and just found it by chance.”
“Me again. “I thought you came running to find me.”
After those words, there was silence again.
Emily continued to look at me, but I had no intention of opening my mouth first.
“Aren’t you going to ask me anything?”
“What should I ask?”
“Just a few things. What was my relationship with that woman, how did she come here, why did she deceive you all this time, etc… … .”
“If you want to talk, say it.”
I relieved him of his burden by telling him to do whatever he wanted.
Emily, who had been thinking for a while about what to say, finally sighed.
“I just did it for you, Master.”
“okay. “That’s enough.”
“Do you believe me?”
“There is no reason not to believe it.”
“Aren’t you a bit more calm than I thought? “I was really nervous because I thought I was going to hear something loud!”
“I didn’t do anything wrong, so why am I being criticized?”
She sighed again at my consistent response.
“As Haniel said, I am a stray cat that was taken in by that person. After joining the Berthe family, I watched everything that happened and kept watch over the other brothers, including the master. Master Haniel then told me to figure out who would be helpful to Master Eshel and who would be a threat.”
“What was I?”
“Young master, it wasn’t like this at first. “You have to have power to be helpful or a threat, but until you were ten years old, you were just treated as an incompetent child.”
Well, it should have been that way.
I scratched my cheek without realizing it.
“But you suddenly changed and beat up Master Kranz to death, and suddenly declared to the Duke that you wanted to go to the front. I thought you had become a completely different person.”
Emily’s face, which I saw when she came back from fighting Kranz in a swordsmanship sparring, is still vivid.
“I think it was probably around that time that my mind changed. I was very impressed by seeing the master not being discouraged by negative reality and trying to keep improving. And then I decided. There is only one master in this world that I will serve, Master Xian. For some reason, I felt like I had to live like that… … .”
I only gave a moderate nod and did not respond further.
Even if she doesn’t have to say it, I already know how she feels.
“Why did you clean my room?”
“Oh, that’s it. For some reason, I felt like I would never be able to do it again… … .”
“It’s so like you.”
Emily smiled brightly, but then asked what that meant.
I responded with silence, and while the argument was going on, I saw my companions waiting for me out front.
“Sister Emily!”
Nana was the first to run over and hug Emily.
“He wasn’t dead, he was alive! thank god!”
“Is that what you’re going to say? “Do you know how much I suffered?”
“I also strictly kept the promise I made to Emily! “She didn’t tell anyone who her sister was!”
“Putting aside the fact that you didn’t say anything, what are you planning to do if you bring the princess here? Oh really! Brian, what on earth is that stupid man… … !”
While the familiar scuffle was going on, Princess Arin came towards me.
“Eshel, did you find that man?”
“I couldn’t find it. However, I am certain that it does not exist in the Demon World.”
Based on the energy I felt at the scene earlier, I think I know roughly where it is, but I don’t think there’s any need to tell her.
“then. “There’s no reason for us to be here?”
“you’re right. The princess must return this way. “I will follow right away.”
The princess, who was about to say something more, quickly nodded and showed that she understood.
“Please wait a moment.”
I called back the princess who had turned around and gave her back the sword I had received from her.
“Why is this?”
“That sword is the only proof that my father, no, Duke Berthe, is no longer in this world. So take that sword and tell the world. The honorable death of the continent’s defender… … .”
“Yes, I will.”
The princess readily agreed with a small smile.
“Please come on time. If you don’t want to see me come to the demon world again… … .”
After Lunav’s greeting rather than a warning, they all flew high into the sky, riding on Nana’s body.
Only after seeing them disappear over the horizon did I quietly open my mouth.
“Everyone is gone. “Come out now.”
“Tsk. Anyway, you are quick to notice.”
Then Mishka, who had been hiding in the back, appeared.
“Nagel would like to take a look.”
