Chapter 149

 

I wasn’t flustered.

 

I just stared at the approaching bastard with an expression that said, ah, right. You were here.

 

Hades, who had been breathing heavily, suddenly stopped walking and grabbed his own face.

 

Haah.

 

A languid breath spread through the air.

 

Soon, when the bastard who had swept down his face removed his hand, there stood Hades with his usual mysterious and enchantingly beautiful smile.

 

Venus flytrap-like bastard.

 

I quietly thought this while watching what he was doing.

 

‘Is Sergeant Steven not here yet?’

 

I had felt his presence since walking down the corridor. No, to be precise, I felt the dark red Kia clinging to me.

 

I don’t know if Sergeant Steven doesn’t know, or if he noticed but calmly went to get his things.

 

‘Surely even if he fights that bastard, he should be able to save himself.’

 

He’s skilled enough for that.

 

I clenched and unclenched my fist.

 

“Ah, sorry. Sorry, miss. I got a little excited.”

 

“….”

 

Hades waved his hand gently with a smiling face, as if he couldn’t help himself.

 

“Where would miss go anyway? There’s only ocean in front and wall behind. A wall that no one has crossed for hundreds of years at that.”

 

He subtly implied that not a single person had escaped from here.

 

“If the first human to escape appears, that would be me. You’ve said that countless times.”

 

“….”

 

“Who knows if that day will be today.”

 

At my leisurely, sarcastic voice, Hades bit his lips tightly.

 

His pale face showed veins bulging at his temples. The bastard who straightened his body revealed his massive frame like a giant jaguar.

 

Though he didn’t approach threateningly, I prepared to move at any time against the shadow covering my feet with each approaching step.

 

And the increasingly fierce Kia that came with it.

 

“Prison break is bad.”

 

“I didn’t know you had talent for meaningless bullshit too.”

 

Hades reached out his hand and I lightly dodged.

 

“Don’t touch me, you bastard.”

 

I could tell instinctively.

 

This bastard Hades had come knowing something.

 

How could he have known?

 

This wasn’t difficult either.

 

He would have his pawns on the Warden’s side too, and even if not.

 

This bastard could freely use his ability to get information.

 

“Let me say in advance that I didn’t come knowing anything.”

 

Yet this bastard was shameless to the very end. His lying tongue was remarkably smooth.

 

“You know well that I pay attention to your every move. I thought you were quietly… watching the match, but you’re unexpectedly in the Central Block, so I came running out of curiosity.”

 

“….”

 

“Let’s go, you have to spend time with me today too. I’ve prepared new tea.”

 

He was telling me once again to keep my promise, in a roundabout way.

 

No, it was subtle coercion.

 

I stared at the ground floor for a moment.

 

I still couldn’t sense Sergeant Steven’s presence.

 

Instead, I felt a faint presence of Kia.

 

…Was he planning to come only after Hades disappeared?

 

My decision didn’t take long.

 

“That promise is now void.”

 

“What?”

 

“Whatever my identity is, feel free to talk about it. You can interfere with my work too.”

 

“…What? Ha. Then should I interpret this as permission to do whatever I want with that guy?”

 

Hades let out a hollow laugh as if dumbfounded. Something began to writhe beneath his red eyes.

 

“That prisoner you cherished so terribly. It’s fine whatever happens to him?”

 

“Do whatever you want.”

 

Hades hesitated.

 

“I’m sick of it now.”

 

Expressing that I had lost interest would be better for Helios’s future prison life.

 

And from what I felt while taking Helios around.

 

The Male Lead blessed with talent. Loved by the world.

 

“…It doesn’t work well?”

 

“Yes. I tried it on both Ged and Seth as ordered, and even attempted it on the Boss, but it didn’t work.”

 

Haira is a capable Mental-type Kia User.

 

Such Haira’s Mental-type Abilities had begun not working on Helios.

 

I suspect it’s related to the Kia Ability that Helios newly awakened.

 

What’s important is that Helios no longer needs to worry about brainwashing.

 

“From today, consider me dead.”

 

Hades’s eyes widened greatly.

 

The bastard who had been gaping for a moment burst into short laughter, “Ha, ha.” Soon he covered his lips and continued laughing with stifled chuckles.

 

“Really, what an amazing woman.”

 

“….”

 

“The pure devotion I offered is worth less than trash rolling around in the corridor. My pathetic state of receiving less attention than even death row inmates wandering around the Prisoner Den.”

 

The moment he stopped laughing, I stepped back.

 

Whoosh!

 

Red chains shot up from the ground floor where I had been standing.

 

If I had stayed still, it would have wrapped around my body instead of the empty air.

 

“Then wouldn’t it be better to just tie you up instead.”

 

“You speak as if that’s possible.”

 

Instead of drawing my gun, I quietly gathered power in one hand.

 

Hades was skilled in combat, unlike typical Mental-type Kia users.

 

However, his fighting style had one weakness. He needed to maintain a certain distance.

 

So.

 

In his excitement, he had already gotten too close to me.

 

Thwack!

 

Thud. As soon as Hades collapsed at my feet, blue iron chains rose from beneath just as he had done.

 

Hades’s eyes widened.

 

“This is…”

 

I was also a bit surprised.

 

“Your Kia color has changed, hasn’t it, Child?”

 

As Hades said through gritted teeth, my Kia color had indeed changed.

 

Blue was blooming like flowers among the mint-colored Kia. As if foretelling that it would change even more from here.

 

Hades seemed to understand the reason, having already witnessed my Unique Kia change once before.

 

I knew he had deliberately let himself be captured without resisting.

 

He wasn’t someone who would be caught this easily just because he had given up distance.

 

‘Does he want me to kill him?’

 

“Ha, haha. Kill me. Kill me and leave.”

 

It was a trap.

 

If I killed Hades, even the Warden wouldn’t be able to cover it up.

 

I would become a criminal once again.

 

“If you don’t kill me now, I’ll chase you forever, Child.”

 

In the end, this bastard was from the Imperial Family.

 

Even if he was abandoned and cast out, during his long time in This Place, he would have built a foothold for his return.

 

And I could feel his determination to become my shackle even in death.

 

“I won’t kill you, nor will I leave any scars.”

 

I said this while gazing at the blue light that glowed softly.

 

Looking at a part of my disciple who had finally left his mark on me.

 

“Because I hate having you remain in my life.”

 

“Ha! Ha… Haha. Child. Do you hate me?”

 

I quietly stared at the man kneeling.

 

“You have no interest in any human being. You even inflict the punishment of indifference on those who dislike you, those who hate you, making them feel ashamed and inferior!”

 

“…”

 

“Why am I the only exception?”

 

Bang! Before the Kia he summoned could even ignite, his head was slammed into the ground.

 

When Hades slowly lifted his head, blood trickled down his forehead.

 

The blood flowing down his pale skin was particularly dark.

 

“Your hatred is sweet too. That’s why I like it. You hate me.”

 

He raised the corners of his mouth as if he understood.

 

“You know? That kind of hatred. It resembles love.”

 

Whether he meant he’d accept hatred since he couldn’t receive love, or whether he was satisfied because that hatred was comparable to the magnitude of his own love.

 

Either way, he wasn’t in his right mind.

 

I placed my hand on my waist and spoke coldly.

 

“Damn it.”

 

I turned my back while leaving Hades bound. The chains I had created with all my strength wouldn’t come undone for quite a while.

 

At least not until I escaped from here.

 

I had no intention of falling into the trap he had made with his life.

 

“…I’ll have to become Emperor.”

 

A voice filled with resentment flowed out from behind me.

 

I didn’t look back.

 

“I’ll become Emperor and conquer. So that I can… exert influence over every land you step on.”

 

Dark red Kia rippled around my body.

 

It tried to penetrate my body and control my mind.

 

Did he know? Or was he doing this despite knowing?

 

His Kia didn’t work on me.

 

Rather, the more he tried to use mind control and brainwashing on me.

 

Hades’ consciousness would flow over to me.

 

The things he was thinking.

 

I love you.

 

I love you.

 

I love you so much.

 

My life.

 

You are mine.
