Chapter 258

“…Hic.”

The Twins’ round tears flowed down their cheeks in a frenzy. With still pitch-black eyes, Leon Frazier muttered.

“You really are, that personality of yours is the problem.”

“…What?”

The air pierced sharply into my lungs, making me cough uncontrollably.

Even after taking his hands off my neck, the two just stood there blankly.

And….

“You knew we were going to kill you.”

“…Leon?”

“If you knew, then why did you lean on us so obediently?”

Leon’s voice mixed with tears. He was angry at me and at himself.

“Why are you telling us not to die.”

“….”

“Even knowing we’re going to kill you, why don’t you get angry even once, you idiot!”

“….”

They were too young to be spitting out such harsh words like last words. The Twins, and I too.

But we had no choice.

“…!”

The clanging sound of blades clashing. And that terrible laughter I could never forget even in dreams.

“Ahahaha! Just how strong is the Sacred Tree’s power! You’ve lifted the restrictions and brought them back to life again!”

It was Coriko.

Countless priests hurriedly walking in behind her. Each one carrying dangerous blades.

“Saint. Shall we capture the Successor and her blood relatives?”

“We should do that. I tried using only sorcery once because I wanted to see an interesting sight, but the Successor’s power is too strong. This time I’ll have to kill her with my own hands.”

Coriko’s finger pointed at us.

“Capture them and tie them all up.”

The priests moved in perfect unison. They charged with swords, but Leon Frazier’s movements transcended imagination.

In an instant, he knocked down two priests and seized two swords, then shared one with Lisian.

My legs still hurt and stung, so I couldn’t stand up well like them. I could only watch the Twins’ backs.

“Tulia.”

Lisian whispered quietly. All while knocking down the screaming priests who charged at him.

“I want to tell you to run away while we hold them off. I really want to do that.”

“….”

“But could a small, young child like you, especially one who’s been badly injured, escape safely alone? Moreover, the sea routes between Summer Continent and Spring Continent are completely destroyed.”

“…Brother Lisian.”

“Tulia.”

Lisian wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. I think it was the first time I’d seen his tears. That’s why it hurt more, and my chest kept aching painfully.

“I’ll protect you until the moment I die. So don’t be afraid.”

“….”

“…Instead, I’ll ask just one thing of you. Tulia.”

When I confirmed Lisian’s eyes looking back at me, I was instantly moved.

His eyes were no longer that hollow black color.

They were shining brilliantly like summer spring water flowing through green foliage.

“From now on, close your eyes and cover your ears. Keep doing that until I say it’s okay.”

“…Okay. Brother.”

I closed my eyes and firmly blocked my ears as Lisian said. The small Twins wouldn’t be able to handle all these priests.

So the implication of those words might be just one thing.

If they end up being hacked to death by the priests, if they reach a point where they can no longer hold swords.

Lisian would personally take my life….

Since he doesn’t know what terrible pain that horrible Coriko and the priests might inflict on me, he decided to commit such a sin instead.

‘That young child is thinking such thoughts.’

I felt my legs gradually freezing in the pitch-black vision. This space was cold. Even through my firmly blocked ears, I could occasionally hear screams and curses.

And at some point, blood as warm as tears soaked my face completely.

“…I told you not to open your eyes, Tulia….”

“Hey, what are you going to do without us….”

I see the two collapsing and dying before me. Behind them, Coriko was screaming loudly.

“What are you going to do by killing those things! I can only bring the Successor’s power to me by borrowing those two’s hands!”

“Cough!”

“Sa, Saint! Cough!”

Dozens of priests instantly lost their lives to the frenzied Coriko. Her eyes had turned bright red. Even the whites were stained with blood, making Coriko look like a monster itself.

“I must process the ritual before those things’ lives are cut off! For the Successor’s blood relatives to be so impious….”

I finally saw Lisian who couldn’t kill me, and then saw Leon breathing heavily while holding a sword.

And….

“Ahaha! Tulia Frazier! What good will it do to glare at me now? You’re still in a position to be strangled to death by your blood relatives!”

The enraged Coriko approached with mad laughter and lifted me up by strangling my neck.

I was no longer afraid of her monstrous appearance. I just kicked Coriko’s chest with my foot.

“Ahaha! What a crazy Successor!”

Coriko tried to slap my cheek but bounced off the protection barrier. From that impact, she dropped me and let out a shrill laugh.

I took Lisian’s sword and barely moved my numb legs to stand up. Then I stood in front of the Twins and glared at Coriko.

“Ahaha! Ahaha! Successor, Tulia Frazier! Do you think you, who are dying, can kill me with that heavy sword? You’re still destined to die by my hand again, lose your memory, and die by my hand again!”

I glared at Coriko and shouted.

“Keep the promise you made with me, definitely…!”

Beauty That Topples Nations didn’t work no matter how much I called it. So I, well, even knowing it wouldn’t work, threw the sword straight at Coriko.

Thud.

But perhaps thanks to putting all my weight into it. I was able to drive the sword much deeper into Coriko’s body than I had expected.

“Saint!”

“Tie up the Successor, immediately!”

I kept shouting the same words until I was suppressed and dragged away by the frenzied priests.

“You must live! You promised to live! So please…. Please live….”

Coriko strangled my neck even while hanging with the sword I had stabbed with all my strength. The priests tried to dissuade her, but she didn’t even pretend to listen.

Coriko’s hands and body were burning black, but in her rage, she didn’t stop strangling my neck.

I can feel the blood moving and churning inside my body. Sensing death, I closed my eyes and muttered.

“Please live….”

That was the moment.

[System] Lisian Frazier achieves Main Quest A-grade!

[System] Leon Frazier achieves Main Quest A-grade!

My vision shone brilliantly.

“…!”

I wished and wished again.

For both of them to have their lives as collateral.

Please grant such a wish. Please, don’t wish for anything else. So….

Even though I wished like that….

[System] As a reward for achieving Main Quest Grade A, Lisian Frazier’s wish will be granted!

[System] As a reward for achieving Main Quest Grade A, Leon Frazier’s wish will be granted!

.

.

.

[System] That you will always choose the right direction

“….”

The rainbow-colored text floating before my eyes both angered me and brought tears to my eyes.

This wish….

‘Is it Lisian’s? Or Leon’s?’

It must be Lisian’s! I felt like I was about to burst into tears.

What’s so special about being the eldest?

Why won’t you listen to me! Why!

[System] ‘Tips’ will be added according to the wish.

[System] ‘Tips’ will be generated intermittently.

‘…Those tips were written by Lisian?’

But they seemed so playful…the moment I thought that, like a vision, I saw the twins writing tips below the System Window.

The tool used to inscribe letters in the air was none other than the relic Mother had left for Lisian.

I really had no idea those tips were left by the twins.

‘They’re like idiots.’

They really seem like such foolish children….

And yet.

Something hot rises from somewhere in my chest, carving an indelible mark.

It meant that flowers that would never wither had bloomed forever in my heart.

Then.

[System] Variable situation occurred!

[System] ‘Lisian Frazier’ and ‘Leon Frazier’ wish for the same thing!

[System] The special wish will be amplified and then subdivided!

My eyes shook frantically at the System Window’s unexpected words.

They both made the same wish?

‘I could understand Lisian doing that, but I never knew Leon would make such a mature wish?’

[System] Lisian Frazier’s wish

[System] That you will never suffer such pain again

[System] Error occurred! The scale of the wish exceeds the range!

[System] ‘Lisian Frazier’ decides to offer half his soul to Becrux!

[System] Side effects from losing half his soul will occur!

[System] ‘Lisian Frazier’ will have permanent problems with his language skills.

.

.

.

[System] The priests and ‘Coriko’ will covet Lisian Frazier.
