Chapter 248

 

 

 

The delegation members’ faces turned ghastly pale. They began to interrogate the High Priests.

“H-High Priests. What is that?”

“The Grand Temple has a deep history by nature. We too do not know every space.”

“Perhaps it might have been an interrogation site for the Heretic Inquisitors.”

“The door itself appears to be very old…”

“…”

The High Priests answered calmly. Attitude, after all, represents confidence.

It was disgusting.

I looked back and forth between the iron door and the High Priests as I spoke.

“I see. So you’re saying the High Priests don’t know about this place.”

“Grand Duchess. Even the bloodstains buried there are old. Do not mislead about the Grand Temple with such things.”

“If it’s a door you know nothing about, then of course you wouldn’t know how to open it either?”

“As we’ve said, the Grand Temple is a place with history as deep as the ocean depths. We too cannot encompass and oversee every place.”

“I see.”

I walked toward the iron door.

“A hideous place that even the High Priests don’t know about. Since delegation members based on continental law are also here, it would be even better to look around together.”

“Grand Duke Frazier!”

One High Priest scolded sternly.

“Surely you’re not planning to forcibly break down the door? Let me say again, that place might have been used by Heretic Inquisitors hundreds of years ago! Do you think you have the right to carelessly destroy the temple’s history!”

“What if I don’t break it?”

“…?!”

I pulled out a handkerchief from my bosom. More precisely, ‘that thing’ wrapped up in the handkerchief.

With bloodstains stuck to it, giving off a fishy metallic smell…

“Do you see? It’s a key.”

“…!”

“…!”

 

“What is this key? Ferdinand.”

“I found it while breaking the High Priests’ sacred artifacts.”

“It really looks disgusting to touch…”

 

At my words of revulsion, Ferdinand even took off the gloves he was wearing and personally put them on my hands.

‘I always find the important things, didn’t I say?’

That’s right!

I’m the only female lead of this survival story!

“I hope the key fits.”

I looked at the High Priests with a confident smile. Then I was suddenly startled.

‘…What? Why do their expressions look like that?’

I expected them to look surprised, angry, or at least like they’d been hit where it hurt.

But they had very confident eyes. No, they looked so confident they even seemed wronged, making me feel like the perpetrator.

Hmph.

‘I guess this key isn’t for this iron door?’

Doesn’t matter?

Even if it doesn’t fit and won’t open, I’ll collapse the iron door with Benefit Beauty That Topples Nations?

I’ll blow up the entire temple!

I gritted my teeth inwardly as I inserted the key. I thought it obviously wouldn’t fit.

‘Huh?’

Creak.

Squeak.

With an ear-scratching, spine-chilling sound, the lock clicked open.

“…?”

Even I was flustered and stared blankly at the lock before kicking the door with my foot.

Of course, the iron door was too heavy to be easily pushed by my kick. Several of Frazier’s knights quickly ran over to help open the door.

Creak.

A spine-chilling sound from lack of oiling.

And inside the iron door was…

“Look, Grand Duchess Frazier.”

“This is the result of the actions Grand Duchess committed.”

“Do you now understand how much commotion and damage Grand Duchess has caused to the entire continent?”

There was nothing.

It was just an empty cave. So vast that thousands, no, tens of thousands of corpses could be piled up there.

That was all.

There was nothing except for that vast size.

“Grand Duchess.”

An angry voice came from behind.

“Have you now confirmed everything?”

“That there is nothing wicked in this sacred land.”

“The Grand Temple will formally protest to Grand Duke Frazier House and the Briyang Imperial Family.”

“This has clearly disturbed the peace of the entire continent.”

Heavy voices subtly mixed with threatening tones.

I glanced back. The High Priests were looking at me with eyes mixed with anger and sadness, while the delegation members were glaring at me with utterly cold gazes.

“…”

How long had it been since I was genuinely flustered like this?

And how long had it been since I was this excited…

At the thought of screwing over ‘someone’?

I looked the High Priests up and down and smiled.

“Nothing wicked, you say?”

To be precise, I was reading the text that filled my entire field of vision.

“Kim Ddongbyeol.”

This would be the first time.

That I had called out that damn name in front of others.

Since I had no idea how to summon Kim Ddongbyeol, and since I had never physically summoned him before, the voice reflexively burst out.

And Kim Ddongbyeol did not disappoint me.

I snatched Kim Ddongbyeol that appeared before my eyes.

In the midst of it all, people made strange expressions as I suddenly gestured at thin air, but that was all. Neither the High Priests nor the delegation members’ pupils followed Kim Ddongbyeol’s movements.

This confirmed it. The fact that Kim Ddongbyeol was still invisible to others’ eyes.

‘Good.’

I vigorously turned my body as the system window instructed and threw Kim Ddongbyeol with all my might toward the empty cave.

Crash!

“Ah, ahhh!”

“Wh-what is that?!”

“H-High Priests! What! What on earth is that!”

“Knights! Call all the Knights!”

“Oh God…! Oh God!”

The cave that had been merely empty began to slowly reveal its hidden form, as if virtual puzzle pieces were pouring down.

The clean empty space was nowhere to be found.

From that unknown space where Kim Ddongbyeol had torn down all the veils came the thick smell of death.

Enormous bloodstains.

Countless corpses lying dead with hollow eyes.

Bone fragments and hair rolling around on stairs that looked like stacked flat stones…

Most horrifying and mysterious of all was.

Starting from the high altar, following the uneven stairs, and finally flowing down to the floor.

Impossibly long…

Pink hair.

Despite the horrific sight, I couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh. It absolutely wasn’t because I was taking this situation lightly.

‘It’s too identical.’

To Tulia’s hair color…

That’s when it happened.

“Count! Strange monsters have appeared outside the Temple!”

“What?”

The Knights’ urgent cries could be heard. The delegation members hurriedly moved toward the corridor, and soon terrible screams filled the space.

And my eyes widened too.

‘That’s it! Creatures! They’re creatures!’

Those monsters that would have killed me if Ferdinand hadn’t saved me before!

“Tulia! Come this way!”

“Yes!”

I dutifully stayed behind Leon Frazier as he said.

People filed out of the horrifying and eerie cave.

I hurriedly watched the High Priests, but I couldn’t read their expressions. The Holy Knights were assisting them with confused faces.

‘Hmph. The creatures were ultimately summoned by the High Priests too, weren’t they?’

It was probably a rigged game, but anyway, the current situation was extremely chaotic.

“Leon won’t die, right?”

“Why would I die? You’re the one who shouldn’t die.”

“Okay, okay.”

“But Tulia.”

Leon Frazier asked while readjusting his grip on his sword.

“What was that star from earlier?”

“…Huh?”

“That star that suddenly appeared in front of you… what was that?”

“…?”

I blinked in confusion for a moment.

‘He could see it? It was visible to Leon Frazier’s eyes?’

The other people seemed completely unable to see it, so why?

‘Is it because Leon Frazier was one of the male leads?’

But this isn’t a game anymore.

It’s not something like !

What is this?

“…Huh?”

That’s when.

I looked down at the pink hair wrapped around my body. What? My hair isn’t this long…

“Tulia… Tulia!”

With a scream, I was instantly dragged into the cave. The iron door slammed shut at the same time.

And.

“Ah…”

A spine-chilling voice echoed in my ears.

“I’ve waited so long…”

The ‘woman’ who had been lying on the altar sat up. Like a marionette pulled by strings, or like a zombie.

Her face was even completely covered by spider web-like hair, making it impossible to distinguish her features.

What happened next was even more terrifying.

The woman who had risen instantly opened her mouth. She opened it so wide that even though her features were indistinguishable, it was clearly visible that it was a mouth.

“…!”

The moment that mouth, torn open wide enough to see the esophagus, tried to swallow me whole.

‘Benefit…!’

 

[System] Using Protection Barrier (1 use remaining)!

 

The last remaining protection barrier bounced the monster-like woman away. At the same time, the barrier tore and disappeared.

“Ahaha! Ahaha! Still trying so hard to protect her!”

The woman cackled with laughter. Her mouth remained torn open, revealing the deep mucous membranes. Goosebumps rose as my entire body stiffened like a statue.

Pink hair, stiff as thick thorns, poured in as if trying to pierce through me.

I reflexively closed my eyes, but felt no pain. I hurriedly lifted my eyelids and.

“…No.”

Without realizing it, I jumped up and ran.

To the altar. That is, to where the strange woman who had tried to devour me was positioned.

“No!”

Pink hair cut to pieces covered the floor. And there was a large hole in the monster-like woman’s belly.

“Ahahaha! Hahahaha!”

Not a single drop of blood spilled from the madly laughing woman’s body. Yet her face was splattered with red blood.

The owner of that bright red blood was.

“Klaus… Klaus!”

It was Klaus.
