Chapter 227

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

Bang!

Dana immediately fired her gun. One person, his head exploded. Then the man beside him was startled and looked in her direction, but.

At that moment, Dana had already fired. Bang!

‘Ah, damn.’

She had aimed for the head, but he fell after being hit in the back.

But it must have been a fatal blow as he collapsed just like that.

Dana immediately let out a sigh of relief. Either way, both of them had fallen.

‘What, that was easy.’

Fortunately. Her shooting skills hadn’t gotten rusty more than she thought.

‘I hesitated for nothing.’

If she had known she could take them down this easily, she would have responded immediately without worrying.

Dana lowered her gun and hurried toward the barn to save the boy. And at that moment.

‘—!’

Intense pain pierced through her shoulder.

Hot, sharp, and simultaneously cold agony.

“What are you.”

From behind, the man who had thrust a sword into her shoulder muttered.

“Aha. Well, well, who do we have here. If it isn’t the famous Dana.”

“Ugh—”

“If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have coated the sword with poison.”

There was one more kidnapper?

Dana tried to raise her gun, but another hand came rushing from the side and snatched the gun away.

“Scary woman, this one.”

There wasn’t just one more.

“She killed two people in an instant. As they say, you can’t trust a woman just by looking at her face.”

Three men. Three men walked over and surrounded her. Swoosh, as the blade that had been embedded in her shoulder was pulled out, pain exploded before her eyes.

Damn it.

It hurts.

“What should we do? It’s a deadly poison. She’ll die soon, won’t she?”

Moreover, as the poison began to spread, all strength drained from her legs.

“Actually, that works out well. She saw our faces.”

“Right. It would be troublesome if it reached the Cult Leader’s ears.”

“It’s better to just kill her.”

Buzz buzz. The men’s voices sounded like a swarm of bees.

“But it’s a waste to kill her like this.”

“Let’s drag her to the barn first.”

“Let’s at least drain some blood. And then…”

I’m dizzy.

Her vision distorted and her stomach churned.

‘Ah.’

When she came to her senses, Dana was collapsed in the barn.

In front of the boy tied to the pillar.

The boy’s expression wasn’t visible.

Maybe she should have just pretended not to know after all.

‘What was I thinking, trying to save him with just one gun, with such meddling…’

How much time passed after that, what happened, Dana couldn’t remember exactly.

She knew she was being tortured.

But the poison was strong, so her mind was hazy.

It was rather fortunate.

“Dana!”

She was just blinking her eyes repeatedly over and over, when this time she saw that man’s face.

“No, Dana, get a hold of yourself!”

Rodrigo?

Through her blurry vision, she saw Rodrigo looking at her desperately.

“Yes, you’re finally coming to your senses!”

What, this man. When did he come?

Why is he crying like that?

Rodrigo was crying with a truly disheveled face. Tears streaming down his cheeks and a contorted expression.

But what is this person doing right now?

“What are you doing! Hurry and take Dana away for treatment!”

Rodrigo screamed instructions to the Holy Knights. His hands holding Dana trembled violently.

“Save her! Use whatever means necessary to save Dana!”

Only then did Dana notice that his trembling hands were soaked with blood, and that the kidnappers were sprawled out as corpses.

‘Thank goodness. He must have come after hearing the gunshots.’

With this, that boy won’t be kidnapped.

The moment she was carried on the Holy Knight’s back, Dana confirmed the face of the boy who had been freed from the rope. Then she was startled.

The boy’s gaze that met hers was strange.

Was he crying? No. Was he worried? No. Then was he grateful? That wasn’t it either.

Then what kind of look was that exactly?

It was bizarre. Like an endless green black hole…

‘Scary.’

Even in a moment like this, it was enough to make chills rise up.

‘Hey, why are you looking at someone who ended up like this trying to help you that way.’

Thinking that, the moment she blinked her eyes.

Darkness fell.

 

* * *

 

Rodrigo couldn’t understand it. Why on earth?

Why did Dana go to such lengths?

He poured out this rage on his grandson.

“Dana sacrificed herself to save a worthless thing like you! A worthless thing like you!”

“That’s right.”

His blood boiled. That grandson didn’t even consider it an honor!

“She did something pointless.”

Viego said with an unimpressed face.

“I wouldn’t have minded dying.”

“…”

“Why did she interfere and suffer such a terrible fate.”

“Right. I agree with that, you bastard!”

Rodrigo’s insides boiled.

Suppressing the urge to kill his grandson, he looked down at Dana’s face as she lay in a coffin filled with holy water.

A face so familiar, with eyes closed.

What if those eyes never open? Anxiety suddenly washed over her, and tears kept flowing.

Then a priest approached.

“Cult Leader. To prepare for the ritual in two days, you must depart for the frozen lake now.”

“I… I can’t go right now.”

“Pardon?”

What mattered most was Dana. Until Dana opened her eyes, he couldn’t go anywhere.

“You all go ahead first.”

“Then what about you, Cult Leader…?”

Rodrigo let out a sigh.

“Bring out the mirror.”

“The mirror?”

“Yes. The ancient artifact that leads to the frozen lake. Bring out that mirror. When Dana comes back to life, then I can open the door of that mirror and go.”

If he reflected Dana in that mirror, a door to the frozen lake would open.

In other words, it was a declaration that he wouldn’t go anywhere until Dana came back to life.

“Please.”

Rodrigo grasped Dana’s hand. He repeatedly pressed his lips to the back of her hand.

“My goddess, please don’t leave me like this…”

 

* * *

 

Dana regained consciousness two days later, on June 5th.

“She still hasn’t awakened.”

“This is serious.”

However, it wasn’t her physical body that had awakened.

Dana came to her senses in soul form.

‘Wow, I almost died.’

Dana floated in the air, looking down at Danawin’s body.

Since Danawin was hovering between life and death, that body had expelled her soul.

She tried to enter again, but Danawin still hadn’t recovered her life force and wouldn’t accept the soul. In other words, she kept being expelled.

The other bodies submerged in the water tanks were the same. There wasn’t a single body ready to accept a soul yet.

Should she wait like this?

‘But it’s June 5th.’

The date Justio had mentioned.

There was no more time to delay.

‘If only I had a body, I could go straight to the frozen lake.’

In the corner of the laboratory wall, a long mirror was placed. That must be the ancient artifact. Rodrigo had brought it out to use.

‘…But why did he bring out that body?’

One of Dana’s bodies was lying outside the water tank, on the operating table.

But it was a child.

Maybe around five or six years old.

The body of young girl Dana was lying on the operating table. Could it be that it was completed and brought out?

‘Let me try it first.’

Fortunately, no one was in the laboratory.

Even Rodrigo, who had been staying by Danawin’s side, had briefly stepped away.

Dana seeped into the young girl’s body like flowing water.

‘Ah, it works!’

Fortunately, the body didn’t expel her and accepted her soul. It worked!

The next moment, when she opened her eyes.

“Waaah.”

Gasp!

At the tears that were about to burst out, Dana covered her mouth. She rolled her eyes around.

‘Oh no. Why do I suddenly want to cry?’

Hic, hic. Dana forcefully swallowed the rising tears. That wasn’t all. I’m hungry. I’m hungry! I want strawberry candy!

‘Get a grip!’

Perhaps because she had entered a child’s body, her way of thinking was also becoming childlike.

Dana barely held onto her reason. Then she jumped down from the operating table and stood in front of the mirror.

‘Wow. I’m really a little kid.’

A little one with pure white hair hanging down to her shoulders, sky-blue eyes brimming with tears. Her soft-looking cheeks were like flour dough.

‘I’m so cute…’

The moment she brought her hand to the mirror.

Flash―!

Brilliant light poured from the mirror and a completely different scene began to appear.

‘Really, it is a passage to the frozen lake.’

Beyond the mirror, she could see the frozen lake turned blue with ice. Next to it, there really was a statue of an ancestor standing.

The Windsor ancestor who had become a sealing stone.

That ancestor was covering his face with both hands. He looked like he was crying, or perhaps hiding his face.

And that event was already happening.

“Great ancestor of Windsor. Please finish your 200 years of protection and return to the human world!”

With the ancestor at the center, priests were performing a ritual to release the sealing stone.

“Throw Karl Windsor into the lake!”

At the signal, a priest stood up and threw the black mummy into the lake with a splash.

Dana watched anxiously from beyond the mirror.

After purifying him in that lake, they said they would make him into a sealing stone.

They would probably keep him submerged in the lake for a long time so he couldn’t resist. They would make him lose consciousness and sink him until he was on the verge of drowning.

‘It’s okay. Karl will come back up.’

However.

‘He’s not coming up!’

What if it really changed to a future where he dies because of me!

Dana fidgeted anxiously, then grabbed the knife on the operating table and jumped straight into the mirror.

‘I have to save him!’

As a reward, strawberry candy― No! Get a grip!

Dana ran quickly. She was thinking only that she couldn’t let Karl die like that.

Fortunately, the priests were chanting spells to break the ancestor’s seal, so they didn’t notice her.

Little Dana jumped into the frozen lake to save Karl.

‘Oh right! I can’t swim!’

But I’m confident at sinking!

Dana sank toward the black mummy that was sinking below. When she struggled hard, she could catch up quickly.

Dana cut the cloth wrapped around his face with the scalpel.

The black bandages slowly unwound, revealing green eyes.

Eyes that were smiling brightly.

‘Eek, scary!’

He’s smiling while sinking and dying!

She felt like crying from fear, from her nose being blocked by water, from suffocation, but Dana desperately flailed her small arms and legs while cutting his bandages.

The next moment, grab.

The boy’s hand, freed from the bandages, grasped her cheek.

‘Yes! Finally his hands are free!’

Then let’s quickly swim up! However…

Squish squish squish squish.

‘What?’

Squish squish squish squish.

‘What are you doing right now….’

Splash, water droplets scattered from Dana’s mouth.
