Episode 195

Sian, who had offered the price, fell into the cursed land.

One disappointing thing was that he had fallen to a more distant past than he had anticipated.

Thus, he was trapped in the desolate land for a long time.

For him to leave the cursed land, a ‘restriction’ was created.

The time of ‘extinction’ would be accelerated.

So Sian could not leave this land except for the few necessary times.

He remained trapped in this land, having killed himself.

Then one day it happened.

‘Help me.’

A young girl’s frail voice was heard.

Sian, who had lived trapped in silence for so long, turned his head with slight interest.

‘Save me!’

There, a girl floating formlessly like a ghost was screaming.

What is that?

It was a very curious sight.

‘Just kill me instead.’

The girl, knowing her voice reached nowhere, swayed like a dry branch shaken by the wind.

It was a very pitiful sight.

Even after that, Sian often heard the girl letting out dying sounds.

However, he only watched. Though it was pitiful, there was nothing he could do for her.

He did feel sorry deep down.

…That must have been why.

‘You can do it, can’t you.’

He decided to grant the request of a woman who appeared one day.

‘Help me.’

‘…’

‘…Save my daughter.’

The woman’s name was Selline.

She said she had been searching for a way to save her daughter for a long time.

Only then did Sian realize.

The identity of the girl who had been screaming… was the owner of the body stolen by his senior.

‘I’m going to die soon anyway since my strength is exhausted. So I must sacrifice myself to save my daughter.’

‘…’

‘So please help me.’

She shouldn’t be saved.

‘Why me of all people? How did you know to find me?’

‘I’m a sorceress, you know.’

Selline smiled faintly as if that was the answer.

‘I’ve been searching for demons for a long time. I heard that demons, not gods, could save my daughter. I read ancient texts.’

‘I’m not a demon though.’

‘I came knowing everything.’

‘Think whatever you want.’

Sian had no intention of granting Selline’s request.

He had no intention of creating variables by saving her daughter for no reason.

‘I can’t do it.’

So he refused.

He turned away the desperately crying young girl and the mother who wanted to save such a daughter.

‘Thank you.’

But strangely, the woman smiled.

As if she was certain that Sian would save her.

The woman left like that and died some time later.

‘Mother…!’

Damn it.

He saw the girl wailing toward her mother. She was so desperate that she tormented Sian’s eardrums for days.

It had been quite a while since he first saw the girl, but that child remained the same, unable to grow after having her body stolen.

Did that soften Sian’s heart?

If she stays like that, she’ll keep crying and being bothersome.

Sian thought with a slightly weakened heart.

Wouldn’t it be fine if he kept her with him?

If he ensured that child never left his side, there would be no variables.

* * *

“…I’m sorry, senior.”

Sian apologized.

He couldn’t find the words to say, his mouth simply wouldn’t open.

“I… thought I could control that child well.”

“…”

“Because that child was young.”

The years spent trapped in that small body were long. She would have been a young child who learned nothing and was starved for affection.

“But that child grew bigger than I expected, and before I knew it, she was playing above my head.”

“…”

“I was foolishly deceived.”

There had been continuous questions about how Roji appeared before me with a body, but I never thought it could have been Sian’s doing.

However, I couldn’t blame Sian.

Because I was the one who stole Roji’s body and hijacked her life.

“…Do you know what Roji is planning to do? She says she’s going to perform some strange ritual.”

“…”

“She’s sacrificing people as offerings for it.”

Sian remained silent.

“You do know.”

“I will stop her.”

“How?”

Sian, who exhaled slowly, looked troubled.

“That child is planning to kill many people. But it’s not for some great cause.”

“Then?”

“She thinks that’s how she can get revenge on Herthas.”

She’s going to sacrifice all those people just to get revenge on Herthas?

As if reading my expression, Sian answered.

“To that child, human lives are like fly lives. She’s been trapped alone for so long that her moral concepts have become blurred. And more than anything…”

I listened carefully to Sian’s words.

“That child wants Herthas to crumble in exactly the same way Count Herthas did to Selline.”

Count Herthas, who tried to increase Yurta’s power by using Selline as a sacrifice.

The Count never knew until the end what his wrongdoing was. To him, Selline’s life wasn’t worth even a grain of value.

“Roji wants to show Count Herthas.”

As I said, that child is insane.

Sian added as if muttering.

“I will stop her. So don’t worry about anything.”

“….”

“I’m… like this.”

Sian suddenly stopped speaking.

He furrowed his brow and looked around.

“They’ve come.”

“What?”

“Quite a few people have entered this land. They’re knights.”

“No way….”

“It seems Count Evantes has caught on.”

He noticed already. This was a disaster.

How did he figure it out?

“I’ll see you again next time, senior.”

Sian looked at me as I turned around and smiled faintly.

“Yeah.”

I only answered out of courtesy, but Sian smiled brightly as if something made him happy.

“Senior, actually….”

Then Sian opened his mouth as if to say something.

“Maybe I’m not really Sian.”

“What?”

“Rose!”

Just then, Rihardt came running urgently and called my name.

“It looks like we need to get out of this land right now.”

He must have sensed the same presence as Sian, as he pulled my arm.

I looked at Sian, then headed toward the door as Rihardt pulled me along.

‘Goodbye.’

Sian bid me farewell with his lips.

“It seems difficult to meet with the Yuren Caravan.”

Rihardt looked troubled.

“Judging by the quite large number of people who entered, they seem to be Evantes’ knights… The Yuren Caravan was likely discovered first.”

Rihardt tried to take me and leave this land.

However, moving wasn’t easy.

As soon as we left the temple, my body became heavy as if crushed by pressure, making it impossible to walk quickly.

Rihardt carried me and ran. To leave this vast land.

When we finally reached the boundary.

“Found them!”

We were eventually discovered by a knight who had been searching around.

“Here… Guhk!”

Rihardt immediately subdued the knight, but it was after the knight’s loud shout had spread far into the distance.

Knights quickly gathered and we hesitated, cornered. Then a familiar face appeared.

“It’s been a while.”

A man with golden blonde hair showed his haughty face in the cursed land.

I swallowed hard.

Arzen looked at us with great delight and bared his teeth.

“Capture them.”

The knights immediately rushed at us. Rihardt grabbed my waist and ran.

And at that moment,

Bang!

A black stem shot up like lightning in front of Rihardt. He reflexively raised his arm to block it.

Hiss-

Rihardt’s arm where the black stem touched turned pitch black. His skin turned red and heated as if burned.

What is that?

Rihardt dropped his body, but at that moment something like a bomb flew from the opposite side.

Rihardt quickly dodged the flying orb. However, the orb that fell to the ground exploded and spread pitch-black smoke.

‘Is it poison?’

I was startled, but it had no effect on my body at all. What is this?

But unlike me, Rihardt’s complexion instantly turned bad after being hit by the smoke.

“Weapons made from things that come from the cursed land work well against transcendents, as expected.”

Arzen grinned wickedly.

This is the worst.

The cursed land was originally a place that weakened transcendent power.

Meeting elite knights fully prepared in such a place made the situation unfavorable.

Thinking it was disadvantageous to fight, Rihardt carried me and ran.

Neigh!

Knights on horseback tried to block us, but Rihardt leaped high and forcibly pulled down the knight blocking our path.

Just as we were about to escape the cursed land, something swift flew at us.

Rihardt twisted his body and a silver sword pierced between our faces as if to cut us in half.

Startled, Rihardt quickly let me go. If he had held on, I would have been cut.

I ended up falling.

I immediately raised my head and confirmed the face of the man who had flown right in front of us.

‘Yurta!’

But there was no time to be surprised.

“Run, Rose!”

Rihardt shouted.

I immediately got up and ran.

I just need to escape through that passage.

However.

Catch them! Hurry and catch them!

Knights on horseback chased right behind Rihardt.

Startled, I looked back to see Yurta running after me.

My heart sank with a thud.

I ran desperately. Like a person trapped in an abyss, struggling for their life.

Just as I was about to step outside, a rough force pulled me from behind.

“…!”

It pressed down on my shoulder and crushed me to the ground.

“Caught you.”

“….”

“Sister.”

Red eyes flickered with madness. An eerie presence brushed past the back of my neck.

I drew in a breath, and at that moment, Yurta went down and grabbed my ankle.

What is he trying to do…!

At that moment, I felt terrible pain in my ankle.

“Aaaaah!”

That crazy bastard twisted my ankle.

I fainted from the pain that rang through my head.

* * *

When I woke up, I was imprisoned.

With shackles on my ankles.
