Chapter 321

* * *

Justio Grants’ world had been noisy throughout his journey to Nemoras.

“That woman must be burned at the stake immediately, Your Holiness!”

Because of the voice coming from the orb in his bag.

“It’s already been nearly a week since the Divine Oracle was given!”

“Why do you remain silent, Your Majesty!”

Mnemosyne.

Mnemosyne.

A dark relic called the Serpent’s Eye. It was an ancient demonic artifact that dug up and revealed fragments of memory.

“Please make a wise decision!”

“If we delay any longer, the Sun God will be furious!”

“Please make a wise decision!”

Dana had once told him. That multiple timelines existed, and in some of them, wars had broken out because of her.

Justio has no such memory. But it probably isn’t fake.

Dana once said that multiple timelines exist, and that in some of them, wars had been fought because of her.

Moreover, it is also described in the , that strange record entirely written about Danae.

[In the first timeline, her name was Danae Grants, and she became the spark that ignited the religious war.]

Though its authenticity was doubted at first, that book of prophecies is proving to be entirely true.

How that promise had ended as well. All of it.

“No, I don’t want to do that.”

Could I really not have known that I might have been a lifeline of salvation back then?

As if death was easier, as if she had no attachment to life. Just like in this lifetime too.

Could it really be coincidence that Dana had little attachment to life across all her lifetimes?

Enough to form such a strange hypothesis in his mind.

“Aren’t you looking too far away for the Demon Fragment? I could be that fragment.”

Justio Grants looked at her necklace. Since the necklace’s effect was still active, her mind should be sound now, yet she continued to say insane things.

Even if that were true, she wouldn’t desperately confess it.

She wasn’t foolish enough not to know that.

She was buying time with her own life as collateral.

Afraid that I might kill that someone.

Yet.

Yet, you try to give up your own life so easily?

* * *

‘Please say something…’

‘But why won’t you say anything!’

After that, Justio didn’t open his mouth. He just watched her, wrapped in silence like a curtain.

Justio spoke only after enjoying a long silence.

What?

For a moment, it felt like her heart dropped to rock bottom. Because that was the last thing she wanted to hear.

“It means nothing special. If it’s someone you want to protect this much, they must be a dangerous person. I simply felt the need to find out their identity.”

However, as if there was no need for further conversation, Justio turned around. Dana hastily continued speaking.

Her breath became twisted. From anxiety, her fingertips began to tingle.

“Well. Not particularly.”

“After finding that man and torturing him in front of you, I’ll be able to hear more sincere answers.”

“…”

“No, more importantly, if not now, I will absolutely never open my mouth no matter what happens.”

Pure white light blazed from Justio’s hand as he declared firmly.

That ray of light flew swiftly through mid-air like a Light Arrow. Toward the direction where Lete had disappeared, precisely.

“My clothes have Magic Trace on them. Since you put my clothes on that person, I should be able to confirm their face within half an hour at the earliest.”

But why did it sound like mockery?

‘But why the hell won’t you say anything!’

The first question is over.

After that, Justio didn’t say another word. He simply wrapped himself in silence like a curtain and watched her.

“I’ve changed my mind.”

It was only after enjoying a long silence that Justio finally spoke.

“From now on, I will pursue the one you tried to hide.”

What?

“And no matter what happens, I’m determined to catch them and see their face.”

For a moment, her heart seemed to drop to the floor. It was the last thing she wanted to hear.

“I suddenly don’t understand what you mean.”

“It’s nothing special. If this is someone you’re so determined to protect, they must be a dangerous individual. I simply felt the need to find out their true identity.”

“Surely there’s something more important than that right now?”

However, Justio turned away as if there was no need for further conversation. Dana hurriedly spoke up.

“The Bible! The Bible I gave to Your Holiness—do you think it could have been real?”

His breathing became labored. Anxiety made his fingertips start to tingle.

“Ask me quickly. I’ll answer. If not now, I don’t know when I’ll be honest again.”

“Well. Not really.”

Justio turned his head slightly to look back at her. His water-colored eyes were chillingly cold.

“If we find that man and torture him in front of you, we’d be able to get more honest answers.”

“Why do you think it’s a man?”

It seemed like the question caught him off guard, and I could see him momentarily at a loss for words.

“No, more than anything, if I don’t speak now, I’ll never open my mouth again no matter what happens.”

“I wouldn’t be so sure about that.”

A brilliant white light blazed from Justio’s hands as he made his resolute declaration.

“We’ll soon see what you’re made of.”

The beam of light cuts through the air like an arrow of light, flying swiftly. Toward the direction where Rete disappeared, precisely.

I got goosebumps. How on earth?

“My clothes bear traces of magic. Since you put my clothes on him, we should be able to confirm his identity within half a si-jin at the earliest.”

It was a calm tone without any inflection. It was a voice that revealed no emotion whatsoever, but why.

But why does it sound like mockery?

Probably because everything was seen through. All of my true feelings.

Dana looked at him with a pale face. Justio glanced at her briefly and took a step without hesitation.

But it was only one step.

“Justio.”

Justio Grants stopped abruptly.

Dana bit her trembling lips and finally collapsed.

“Don’t go.”

She had failed.

Deceiving that man was truly impossible.

“I was wrong.”

In the end, Dana confessed.

“I swear this is the first time I’ve deceived Your Holiness. Until now, I’ve never once lied to deceive you. So please… just this once, please overlook it.”

But it was only for a moment.

Justio began walking again. As if even stopping for an instant had been a mistake. Rather, he increased his pace, and a strange anger emanated from his steps.

“Don’t go.”

Dana ran and clung to Justio’s arm as if hanging on it. But since he didn’t slow down at all, she soon lost her grip on him.

“Your Holiness. Please.”

Justio ignored her and continued on. He kept moving forward.

What should I do?

“Please.”

Dana clenched her trembling fingers. Despair and anxiety tangled together and surged over her.

“Please, just kill me instead. Please.”

I won’t die even if I die in this body. Because the next body is waiting. But Lete. Lete is…

[If you want to die so badly.]

Then, as if her words had greatly irritated him, Justio’s voice echoed in her head.

[Do so without any relation to me.]

His footsteps never stopped for even a moment.

[I no longer wish to be entangled in any form.]

A sharp voice fell like a blade.

[Now that all deals are finished, I will no longer involve myself in your life or death.]

Ah…

A thorn-like realization washed over her.

It was over. Really over. The Pope had made his decision, and there was no way to stop him.

Soon Justio would chase after Lete and find him. And.

And.

Imagining what would happen next made her breathing rough. A massive pulsing rang in her ears and her mouth went completely dry.

That’s when it happened.

“Dana.”

A whisper-like voice flowed from behind her.

Dana’s mind went completely blank. All thoughts were swept away in an instant.

Had she heard wrong?

Was it the sound of wind in the forest? There was no way his voice could be heard from behind me. Because—

“Danawin Windsor.”

Behind me is a cliff.

Dana slowly turned her face. And at that moment, she saw a man climbing up from the cliff.

It was a man in a black uniform.

A coolly handsome face under a jet-black military cap. A long, black coat that hung down like a demon’s tail, soaked through with water.

The man removed his hat. As he swept back his wet platinum hair, his sharp, straight forehead and sleek eyebrows were revealed.

And he smiled at her.

His lips curved in a soft line, a smile that seemed affectionate at first glance, but…

A chill ran across her skin.

It didn’t look like a smile at all. Terror washed over her as if she had seen the blood-soaked teeth of a beast, and it hurt as if her flesh was being torn.

He greeted her.

“Hello.”

It was a clear, crisp voice.
