Chapter 117

 

 

 

The pitch-black open sea.

Karl Windsor had jumped into it carrying the bomb.

“Dana.”

As she stared blankly in shock, Lumiere placed his hand on her shoulder.

“It’s okay. He’ll be safe.”

His comfort didn’t reach her.

Dana knew the power of that bomb.

‘It completely destroyed this massive passenger ship…’

The Diana, as huge as a palace. This ship made of steel had been swept up and destroyed by that explosion.

Surviving that explosion would be impossible.

She knew because she had clearly seen the future with Divine Sight. The power of that explosion—

‘Ah. That’s right.’

Right, Divine Sight.

Today Divine Sight had awakened and shown her the future.

Then as always, that power should still be lingering in her body.

So then.

‘Show me.’

The future, Karl five minutes from now.

What happens to Karl Windsor when the bomb explodes. Right now, hurry!

The moment she wished for it, darkness came crashing down. Dense blackness filled her entire vision.

Now skillfully, Dana watched the future.

This place was the pitch-black underwater.

Karl Windsor, who had gone very deep down, was swimming.

Downward, downward, endlessly downward.

Dana checked the bomb he was holding and was horrified. 10 seconds left. No, 9 seconds left!

‘Hurry and throw the bomb!’

Had they said the bomb would explode if he let go? That seemed to be why he intended to buy time until the very end.

7 seconds.

Karl swam fluidly, going deeper down below. Dana grew anxious, wanting to shout right into his ear.

‘Hurry and throw it and run away, hurry!’

6 seconds.

‘Hurry, quickly!’

5 seconds.

‘Quickly, throw it!’

4 seconds.

In that instant, Karl checked the bomb once more.

3 seconds.

‘Throw it!’

Only then did he swing his arm wide.

2 seconds.

‘Run away!’

In the water, the bomb descended very slowly, slowly.

1 second.

‘Hurry!’

At that moment Karl turned his direction upward. As he moved both arms and legs to swim.

0 seconds.

Flash.

A violent flash that pierced the entire vision swept across the seabed. That soundless explosion instantly swallowed Karl Windsor’s body—

Dana saw it.

His hair whipping wildly, his skin tearing and peeling away as it was swept up in the explosion.

‘No.’

His bright red exposed muscles also peeled away, his white cheekbones were revealed, his round eyeballs protruded—

“No!”

A scream burst out.

Dana collapsed right onto the deck. Bang!

“Dana, are you okay?”

Hands grabbing and lifting her up.

However, Dana remained collapsed on the deck, breathing heavily. Drip, sweat that had formed on her forehead in that short time fell onto the deck.

Horrible.

She felt like throwing up.

“Dana, are you okay?”

Suddenly Dana covered her mouth. Dry heaving surged up.

“Ahh.”

Only after letting it out did she realize it wasn’t nausea.

It was a moan. Or maybe crying. Or maybe a scream.

She didn’t know.

One thing was certain.

Karl Windsor’s face would collapse in a hideous way.

He would die so horribly.

That alone was the definite truth.

 

* * *

 

She didn’t know how time passed after that.

“Please send out search teams, so we can find Uncle’s body when it surfaces.”

Mechanically, Dana did what needed to be done.

“And we need to gather the crew members to recover the bodies on the deck.”

Karl Windsor had disappeared into the sea around 10 PM.

Time passed after that. Dana waited and waited again. Tick-tock. The sound of the second hand seemed to ring in her ears like a hallucination.

“We’re sorry. We couldn’t find him.”

And around 3 AM, the crew members who had gone out searching in lifeboats returned.

“I see.”

She couldn’t order more searching. All the crew members’ lips were blue from the bitter cold.

“You worked hard. Go back and rest for now.”

After sending everyone away, Dana slumped down on a bench on the deck. After staring blankly at the sea for a while, she checked her pocket watch.

Already 5 AM. The time when all passengers on the ship were asleep.

When day broke, the passenger ship would be turned upside down.

Because Karl Windsor was dead.

‘Sandra will be in chaos.’

Her beloved husband had died during the night. Thinking that, a hollow laugh escaped her.

To think Karl would die so futilely.

That monster of a human, so futilely.

‘How can this be?’

Making such an uncharacteristic sacrifice?

While being trash.

He was a bad person who even planned to kill me to take my fortune!

‘That bastard.’

Anger slowly began to boil up inside her.

She resented Karl Windsor.

I held on so desperately.

How could he shake off my hand without a moment’s hesitation?

He put so much effort into getting my fortune, but then he gives it up?

‘I shouldn’t have let him go like that.’

I should have forcibly held him down and cut off his finger.

No— I should have, I should have cut off Karl Windsor’s finger long ago.

There was no need to wait until he became the head of the family.

I should have cut off his finger by any means necessary. I should have killed him and stolen the ring!

‘So what do I do now?’

After the violent rage passed, enormous despair came flooding in.

‘What do I do? The way to leave this world has disappeared?’

I lost the Sacred Relic.

I had lost the only key that could allow me to escape from this world.

‘Then, do I have to live in this world forever?’

As Lyos said, waiting for the Dimensional Gate to open after 97 years, together with the hypocrites who deceived me, in a body that isn’t even mine, for my entire life until I die?

Just imagining it made her dizzy.

It was so terrible that Dana unconsciously clasped her hands together. She closed her eyes tightly and whispered.

“Oh God, please.”

Please give me just one more chance. Please.

“Please let Karl Windsor live.”

If you send that person back to me.

If you just do that.

Then I’ll make sure to kill that person and steal the Sacred Relic.

So please.

“Please send that person back to me…”

But that won’t happen.

He died caught up in the explosion along with the Sacred Relic.

I’m trapped in this world.

As she thought this, tears formed in the corners of her eyes. Just as she thought she wanted to cry.

“Dana?”

Dana’s eyes snapped open.

“Why are you doing that there?”

It was already sunrise.

The blazing sunlight over the horizon stabbed at her vision. But Dana couldn’t close her eyes.

“Ah. Sorry. My clothes disappeared.”

The scene unfolding before her eyes was overwhelming.

Dana absolutely couldn’t look away.

The wet naked body of a man was gleaming smoothly in the first rays of dawn cutting through the morning.

“Sorry, but could you hand me that cloak? It’s a bit embarrassing.”

He smiled awkwardly and extended his hand to her.

Dana stared blankly at the man.

“Dana?”

It was Karl.

He stood on the deck completely naked, dripping with water, his wet platinum hair swept back.

She couldn’t believe it.

“Dana, the cloak please…”

Surely all his skin had been hideously peeled away.

I saw his cheekbones, his eyeballs falling out.

But now Karl’s body was intact and complete.

No, it was perfect.

He was like a god of the male form.

In the increasingly intense sunlight, his robust body sparkled with a golden radiance as if gilded. It was a breathtakingly wondrous and beautiful sight.

Was it from surprise? The strength left Dana’s fingertips. The cloak she had been gripping tightly flew away. Karl reached out and caught the cloak, then calmly wrapped it around his waist.

“Thanks. Sorry for showing you such an unsightly— Ah.”

Karl stopped speaking. Dana had suddenly rushed at him and embraced him tightly.

‘It’s really Karl.’

Dana frantically felt his back, shoulders, and waist with her hands.

The smoothly wet muscular body. This firmness. This smoothness.

It’s real.

It was all real.

He had returned alive.

“I was so worried!”

Reality came flooding in, and Dana felt like she might cry.

“Do you know how worried I was? I really thought you were dead. Uncle, I thought you were dead.”

Dana kept murmuring while embracing him. She didn’t know what was what, but anything was fine.

Karl— my Sacred Relic had appeared.

Dana took his hand and pressed it to her cheek. At the cold touch of the Sacred Relic, a tsunami-like sense of relief surged up.

“Thank goodness. Really thank goodness…”

Ah, I’m saved.

My Sacred Relic is safe.

I can leave this world. The only key to escape is still here.

“Dana.”

Then, Karl, who had been quietly watching her, asked.

“Were you worried about me?”

Was that even a question? Dana answered with resentment.

“Of course! I really thought I’d lost you forever!”

“Were you sad?”

“Is that even a question? I was so sad I thought I’d die!”

“Do you like me?”

What is he saying?

Dana looked up at him with wet eyes, displeased. Then she was startled.

Karl was gazing at her quietly with a serious, frighteningly serious expression.

He smiled with only his lips and spoke softly.

“Do you like me?”
