【Chapter 202】

‘That bastard…’

In front of Kail, a massive ogre over 3 meters tall was drooling as it looked around.

It sniffed around as if entranced by the smell of blood, biting at the surrounding monsters.

With such an overwhelming size, an ordinary person would freeze up just from facing it.

But Kail had seen that thing before.

When he was exploring the snowy plains with Nox.

It was when they had ventured a bit deeper due to his stubbornness.

It was completely different from the small fry around the ice wall.

Both its appearance and nature were much more primitive and violent.

Kail’s ability to control monsters didn’t work on them either, so he had to eliminate them directly.

‘Yellow Polka Dot… was what I named it.’

He remembered deliberately giving it a ridiculous name.

Hoping that bastard wouldn’t be threatening to humans.

But had it really run all the way here from deep in the snowy plains?

Kail’s gaze rose upward as he faced the creatures over 3 meters tall.

Though he’d need full strength, he could handle one or two of them easily enough.

The problem was that these creatures, which usually traveled alone, were gathered in quite a group today.

Just what he could see numbered in the dozens.

It was probably the influence of the Monster Wave.

‘Dangerous.’

His instincts sounded a warning.

“Grrrr…”

“Grh, grrrr…”

“What? Why are they so big?”

The dragon’s eyes also widened as if it was seeing monsters of this size for the first time.

“Aisha. Get back.”

Kail, who had been momentarily distracted by the unexpected situation, belatedly stepped in front of Aisha.

“It’s okay, we have a dragon with us.”

“No. Rather than fighting them unnecessarily, it’s better to just let them pass quietly…”

“Baby. Fire!”

Kail tried to protect Aisha behind him, but she didn’t listen.

As if completely trusting the dragon beside her, she immediately commanded an attack.

“Kyaaaak-!”

When the dragon opened its mouth with a battle cry at Aisha’s command, the ogres who instinctively sensed danger all turned to look at them at once.

“Gr, grr…?”

“Graaaak!”

However, nothing came out of the dragon’s mouth that should have been breathing fire.

“…No fire is coming out.”

“What?”

“I have no strength in my body. I need to eat.”

That’s right.

The dragon was a juvenile that had just grown wings.

No matter how exceptional its abilities were, second only to the Maein, its stamina as a not-yet-adult had reached its limit from flying all the way here.

Aisha was flustered, but Kail, who understood the severity of the situation, felt his heart drop.

The baby dragon even yawned widely as if sleepy.

However, as if not wanting to disappoint Aisha, it wagged its tail vigorously.

It swung toward the ogres like that, but ogres over 3 meters tall wouldn’t fall from just that.

“Grahahaaak!”

With the angry ogres’ roars, their attack began.

“Aisha, get back!”

Pushing her back gently while leaping up, Kail instantly rose to the ogre’s eye level and slashed its throat.

Splurt.

Red blood splattered on the pure white snowy plain.

A scream filled with pain. The roars of other ogres excited by the smell of blood mixed together.

“Aisha, dodge!”

Thud-!

Quickly swinging his sword to slash one of its legs, the ogre that had been charging at Aisha stumbled and fell.

Aisha’s eyes, which had been flinching in surprise, soon grew wide—

“…Ugh.”

Kail bent his upper body and touched near his left ribs.

The fabric covering his skin was damp.

When he checked his palm, red blood had rubbed off.

‘Did the wound from the ice wall earlier reopen?’

He had been scratched by claws while dealing with monsters climbing the ice wall.

He had thought it was nothing and passed it off. But pain like something gouging his skin gradually spread.

Even so, without letting out a single groan, he kept his mouth shut and quickly applied pressure to stop the bleeding.

“What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”

“No, it’s nothing. More importantly, those bastards are dangerous opponents.”

Hidden by his black robe and already covered in bloodstains, Aisha didn’t notice Kail’s condition.

She just stood blocking him with a worried face, trying to stand against the ogres.

“I’ll try to block the ogres’ vision with a blizzard!”

When she raised her hand, dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky.

The surroundings that had been bright blue were dyed white with mist from the fierce blizzard.

“Grhaaaaak!”

“Gaaaak!”

Unable to see well, the ogres began charging in the wrong directions.

The problem was that Kail also couldn’t secure his vision, making it hard to find Aisha.

“Aisha!”

“Kail, I’m here!”

While following her scent with his eyes tightly shut, he suddenly felt warmth grasping his hand.

It was Aisha.

But her expression, which had been beaming, gradually contorted.

“Kail, your wound…!”

“It’s nothing. I’m fine.”

The moment she came close, she discovered blood flowing through his clothes where snow had dried white.

Without showing it, he put more strength into their clasped hands.

With one hand holding Aisha’s hand.

With one hand holding his sword, the wound gradually opened more and became painful.

But if he didn’t hold onto his consciousness, things would really reach the worst situation.

‘I need to get out of here first.’

If they could just escape from the ogre horde, there would be time to catch their breath.

Grasping Aisha’s hand, he breathed roughly and moved forward.

However.

“Grrrr… Gaaak!”

Through the thick blizzard, an ogre with its mouth open suddenly appeared.

He quickly stepped back, but it was the same behind them.

‘No way.’

Kail realized the situation and took a deep breath.

They were completely surrounded by the ogres.

He had been prepared to die from the beginning when he set out for the snowy plains, so it didn’t matter to him.

But if Aisha was by his side, that was a different story.

‘If I push myself a little, I should be able to get out of here.’

If he just focused on attacking forward without worrying about anything else, it would be entirely possible.

But if he did that, he naturally wouldn’t be able to watch his back.

“…Kail, I’m sorry. You even gave up your life to save me, but here I am saying I’d help only to be a burden.”

Along with her regretful voice, he felt a faint trembling from Aisha’s hand that he was holding.

“Don’t say that.”

“But…”

“Aisha.”

Kail turned his head, cutting off her words.

“No matter what happens, you can survive.”

This wasn’t a lie.

It was sincere.

He had come out alone in secret for Aisha’s sake, but that was originally because he knew her personality well.

Whether she heard about it beforehand or realized it later.

He knew she was brave enough to follow recklessly.

So if Aisha came.

If she came looking for him with that stubborn personality despite everyone else’s attempts to stop her.

“I’ll definitely keep you alive.”

Her red eyes shook violently at his confident words.

From the moment Aisha first died before his eyes and came back to life.

Not once had he ever imagined a situation where she would die.

Even so, Aisha seemed anxious.

He could see her constantly rolling her eyes around, assessing the situation.

That’s when it happened.

Aisha leaned against his shoulder and whispered.

“Kail. I thought of a good idea.”

“What is it?”

“You take my energy right now. Then you can put the monsters to sleep.”

“…?”

He hesitated at her bewildering words.

Aisha didn’t notice Kail’s reaction and continued chattering as if this was their only hope.

“It’s better for one person to survive than for both of us to die. And anyway, I should have died back then, but I lived because you gave me energy. So…!”

“Aisha.”

“Huh?”

“…You.”

Was all she could think of ultimately sacrificing herself?

The words he wanted to say rose to his throat and his lips trembled, but he soon pressed them tightly shut.

This wasn’t the time for that.

If he dragged out the situation, they would all die.

“Right. It’s better for one person to survive than for both of us to die.”

“…Thank you. Then quickly transfer the energy— gasp.”

“Excuse me.”

Finally opening his mouth, he turned toward Aisha.

Aisha, who had been smiling with a slightly tense face, couldn’t continue speaking and gasped.

Kail had pulled her slender nape toward him as if embracing it and pressed his lips against her small ones.

“…When transferring energy, breath must touch breath.”

A delicate yet soft sensation.

Vast energy flowed between their lips.

From Kail to Aisha.

It was a blissful death.

* * *

“Kail, gasp.”

Startled by the sudden kiss, I reflexively tried to pull away, but instead he gently curved his hand around my nape and tilted his head.

A firm yet soft sensation.

His hot breath entered me through my lips that had naturally parted from breathlessness.

As if energy was truly being exchanged, I gradually felt more at ease.

‘This is enough. Once Kail regains his energy, the Monster Wave will end and people will be safe…’

My previous life where I died having accomplished nothing.

In this life, I had done many things and met many people.

Moreover, this was a death I was accepting to protect the people I love.

‘It wasn’t a bad life.’

As I was closing my eyes, I suddenly realized something was strange.

If Kail was taking my energy, my strength should be draining away or my body should be going limp.

Instead, I felt refreshing and clean air entering and spreading through my body…

When I finally pushed him away with an ominous feeling,

“…Ka, il?”

There was no answer in return.
