Chapter 130
Ramona let out a shrill laugh.
However, it wasn’t a laugh of amusement, but one filled with anger.
It was truly strange.
To Ramona, the girl had always been a strange yet interesting existence.
But now she could no longer think of her as merely interesting.
This side has more people living on it. We’re saying let’s sacrifice one person to avoid everyone dying.
What’s there to be so dissatisfied about?
“Ahaha. Why are your eyes rolling back like that? What’s so special about that woman? All humans die, Youngest.”
The girl held a certain meaning for Ramona, and also for the prisoner Deril beside her.
A young prisoner who came in at a very young age, yet suppressed them and silently climbed the floors.
Like when climbing those hell-like floors. This time the girl advanced without answer toward the rift before her eyes as her goal.
Hissss!
Even as Ramona’s poison melted her skin, and Deril’s fire magic burned her.
That was all.
“Kugh, kek!”
No one could stand against her.
“N-no…”
“C-can’t go!”
The prisoners were also desperate.
They had thought they would all die, but the rift was shrinking normally thanks to their foolish Boss’s sacrifice.
If that rift is tampered with wrongly, they’ll all die together!
True to their selfish nature, they were people who only cared about their own lives.
The girl gritted her teeth.
‘Even at this moment, the rift is getting smaller.’
The girl’s intense thoughts were visible and transmitted to Helios as well.
‘I must save him. You can’t just die as you please. You can’t.’
Whether it was obsession or greed.
The twisted emotion was clearly visible to Helios as well.
The girl was quietly, and deeply angry.
‘He’s still alive, but look how no one steps forward because they’re afraid we’ll all die together. That’s why I said there was no need to think about them so much normally.’
While everyone stood by and watched death, only the girl stepped forward. No one could block her path for even a full minute.
“Aha, cough! It won’t work. It can’t.”
Ramona, who had fallen, suddenly jerked her head up.
That Youngest had hit her so hard that the spot where the girl struck her throbbed and she couldn’t even get up.
But.
“I can’t let you go. I don’t want to die!”
A desperate attack flew toward the girl’s back.
Hissss!
The venomous attack was blocked by dark red kia and faded away.
“You should watch your back. Your back.”
The girl paused for just a brief moment.
“Miss, the Warden said to stop you even if it means killing you?”
A giggling, ecstatic voice could be heard. Behind Mint stood a youth dripping with blood.
His skin was burning from Ramona’s poison, but he wore a leisurely expression, unconcerned.
“Look at this. Everyone betrayed that woman? And betrayed you too?”
“….”
“Except me.”
“Shut up.”
The black-haired youth shrugged his shoulders and turned his head.
Helios, who had been quietly watching, instinctively realized.
‘Is that Hades?’
No, he was certain.
That was Hades.
Even if it was something negative, he was a human who had left a great mark on Master’s thoughts and heart.
And now he could see that this man had been in Master’s path.
At such an important time. He dared to guard Master’s back.
…That man, not himself.
If only I could participate in this fight too.
It was the moment when Helios couldn’t hold back and frowned while reaching out his hand.
— Shh.
Helios flinched.
Someone had definitely grabbed his shoulder. But when he turned around, no one was there.
In the meantime, the girl had finally reached the rift.
An intense thought-like feeling reached Helios once again.
‘Mama is alive.’
She must be alive. It was almost like a prayer.
However, the situation was not good.
Unless the massive rift led the humans it swallowed to become companions of death.
Even to Helios, who didn’t know much, it didn’t seem like she would be alive.
“Ah, no! Don’t touch it!”
“Damn it, we’re all going to die!”
Leaving behind the scene of screams and chaos coming from behind.
Helios followed the girl into the rift.
He had thought it would be a pitch black space.
But the complete opposite—a pure white space—unfolded. It truly was a void scene with nothing at all.
Helios got goosebumps from the overwhelming sense of space that seemed like even his own existence might disappear.
The girl walked through the space as if nothing was wrong and finally stopped.
“Everyone said you were dead.”
The girl spoke in a small voice.
“See? I told you I was right.”
The standing figure slowly turned around. No, this couldn’t be called turning around.
Helios held his breath slightly.
“Well, well, how admirable. Our Little One?”
“How long do I have to keep saying I’m not a little one.”
Mama already had no lower body. She wasn’t bleeding, and from her smile, she seemed to be in no pain.
But it was certain that this appearance didn’t look like a ‘living person.’
The girl continued speaking calmly as if ignoring this fact.
“That’s why I told you not to help those bastards. Ungrateful bastards. Even though there was a way, they just watched you die.”
“I knew.”
Mama chuckled. It was a nonchalant laugh.
“They were always bastards like that, so what did you expect?”
The girl frowned slightly.
“More importantly, Child. Will you help me?”
“Stop talking nonsense and just get out of there.”
“Unfortunately, the Rift is still rampaging. Everyone will die.”
“People don’t die just from missing their lower body. I’ll make you legs with Kia.”
“….”
“No, you should consider yourself blessed. I’ll be your legs for life.”
“….”
The girl bit her lips tightly.
“What does it matter how many die? Rather than watching you die alone, just die with me. So shut up and get out of there. All you need to do is come back.”
“Hahaha.”
Mama laughed nonchalantly once again. Her waist disappeared by another handful.
The girl ground her teeth in frustration.
“Can I ask for just three things?”
“I won’t listen. Shut your mouth. And just get out of there.”
Mama smiled brightly regardless. She spread three fingers as if to make the girl burst with anger.
Helios felt that smiling face resembled the smile his Master used to make during every crisis.
“First, from now on, don’t turn away from people caught up in Rifts or in danger because of Rifts. If it’s within your reach, save them.”
“…I was stupid for trying to have a conversation. I should just drag you away.”
Kia flowed out from the girl’s body. However, far from touching Mama’s body, it was absorbed by the white space.
Bewilderment crossed the face of the girl who rarely showed panic.
“Second, you must get out of this Prison.”
The girl’s rigidly hardened expression turned toward Mama.
Helios, who had already been able to see the girl’s various emotions, noticed.
The name of the emotion staining that face. It was despair.
“You must, absolutely must get out. Prioritize it above all else.”
“…What are you saying. Don’t give me orders.”
“Lastly.”
No matter what the girl said, Mama only said what she had to say. Just like Master always acted toward Helios.
“When you get out, will you listen to my last words? Ah, you only need to follow half of this.”
The words that followed were both heard and not heard by Helios.
“I won’t listen, I won’t listen!”
In between, the girl explosively burst her Kia and wildly waved her hands in the air, reaching toward Mama.
It was also because she was screaming.
The girl’s hands didn’t reach Mama. As if Mama had known this from the beginning.
Her face was detached.
Soon she smiled softly.
“Child. Actually, I didn’t care if everyone in this place died. Do you think I came to prison because I was virtuous?”
The girl flinched.
Mama looked up at the sky. It was just a pure white space. Even so, she made an expression as if she could see cloudy skies.
“Hehe. It was quite an interesting life.”
“Mama!”
“Even if all humans give up for reasons they can’t help, and even if I alone don’t die thanks to my Kia ability.”
“Come out right now!”
“But I don’t want you to die. What can I do?”
To Helios, it seemed brighter than any smile he had ever seen from anyone.
And she looked relieved.
“A mother should save her daughter.”
The girl’s mouth opened slightly. To Helios, the expression that eventually appeared on the girl’s face.
Was like the desperate cry of someone who didn’t know how to cry, someone who had never cried even once.
