Episode 204
“Don’t interfere, Yurta.”
I pushed Yurta’s shoulder away.
“Are you protecting Dillen even at this moment, Sister?”
“It’s not like that.”
I’m not protecting him.
It’s just…
“I don’t want to waste any more emotions.”
All the memories of the past have been tainted.
Dillen still couldn’t let go of the wrist he was gripping.
In his blood-red eyes, guilt and possessiveness swirled together.
“I was afraid you would leave…”
“I left because of your actions.”
The man desperately denied this fact in frustration and anguish. Then he finally let out a breath that sounded like laughter.
“If you’re going to abandon me anyway…”
Again.
Dillen’s eyes looked strange, just like before.
Sensing danger, Yurta readjusted his grip on his sword.
“I’ll kill them all.”
“…What?”
“If I kill everyone, then you’ll only have me, right?”
Not only had he crushed all the affection I had felt for him with his earlier response, but now I felt utterly disgusted.
“You…”
In that moment, many words flashed through my mind.
“What a sight you are.”
How are you any different from Yurta?
Why did I ever like you?
His red eyes wavered, but he seemed to have finally made up his mind.
“I guess there’s really no going back now, Rose.”
“…!”
In an instant, Dillen drew his sword and lunged at Yurta.
What just happened?
There was no mercy in the sword he swung, as if he truly intended to kill.
Fortunately, Yurta managed to dodge by forcefully deflecting Dillen’s sword. However, his movements weren’t stable.
The tip of the sword grazed the end of Yurta’s arm weakly. A stream of blood spurted into the air.
“…!”
“Stop it, Dillen!”
But he paid no heed and persistently targeted Yurta’s openings, pressing his attack.
Yurta didn’t stay idle either. He parried Dillen’s sword and immediately counterattacked.
“I said stop!”
As if his ears were blocked, Dillen didn’t listen to my words.
I no longer trust Dillen, but surely he’s not the type to commit such insane acts?
Could it be because of the curse?
“Dillen!”
When the two sparred, it often ended in a draw.
Long ago, I thought Dillen was admirable for raising his skills to this level against a Transcendent, but now he was nothing more than a terrifying existence.
“Both of you, stop!”
No matter how much I shouted, neither of them listened, so it was no different from echoing in empty air.
Two similar pairs of eyes gleamed like madmen as sharp sword tips dug into each other with killing intent.
I instinctively realized.
This fight might not end until one of them was on the brink of death.
After a long while, the result of this lengthy battle emerged.
I sat there dazed, looking at the two fallen figures.
There was neither victor nor loser in this fight.
The two who had been slashing at each other like madmen charged at each other with killing intent. No matter how much I screamed for them to stop, it was useless.
It was a gruesome scene of flesh being torn and blood splattering.
‘I want to go home.’
I recalled an old wish.
I want to return to Korea.
To those days when I lived peacefully with Mother.
It was a wish that would never come true.
What am I even doing here?
Then a long shadow fell before my eyes.
At some point, he had gotten up and was staggering toward me with his sword.
To think he would still manage to get up in that condition.
“Stop it, Dillen.”
The one who had been ignoring my words just moments ago finally turned his head.
“…Ro, se.”
“…”
There once was a boy I liked.
The red eyes of the boy with dark brown hair gleamed with hostility when he looked at me.
His eye color matched his feelings toward me perfectly.
When that boy’s eyes changed to become gentle, I was so startled by the awkwardness that I ran away.
But soon I grew accustomed to the warmth the boy showered on me…
Even though he was much younger than me, I found myself receiving comfort and unknowingly depending on him.
That’s what he was to me.
Someone I could confess things to that I hadn’t told Selline.
Though it was all a lie.
“You said I was your world and everything?”
The hole in my chest wouldn’t fill, so I unconsciously clutched at my chest as I spoke.
“You destroyed my entire world.”
“…”
“How far do you have to go to be satisfied?”
“Rose, I just…”
“Even if you two fight like madmen, I will never fall into either of your hands. So don’t delude yourselves.”
Dillen stood there dazed, looking at me, then rubbed his face with his hand.
When he removed his hand, it was a complete mess with blood smeared everywhere.
Seeing that horrific sight erased the image of the young boy I had cherished. Just as the face of a cruel murderer was about to be superimposed over it.
“…I’m sorry.”
Dillen apologized.
“Go home, Rose.”
“…I won’t go back to Herthas.”
“Not there.”
“…What?”
“To where you originally lived. Go back to that place called Korea.”
“…If that were possible, I would have gone back already. Do you think I want to stay here and witness this mess?”
Sian had said so. That I was a being who came to this place to eliminate the Transcendent.
‘They picked the wrong person.’
Because I could never do such a thing.
So I can’t go back and am stuck here watching this mess.
“Just kill Yurta.”
“Do you think I’m you?”
I looked at the fallen Yurta and shook my head.
“I can’t do it, Dillen.”
“No. You have to.”
At Dillen’s firm words, I lifted my head to look at him.
“…What do you mean by that.”
“If you don’t kill him, I’ll have to kill him.”
“Haven’t you come to your senses yet? As expected, the curse…”
“No. I’m perfectly sane, Rose.”
It was definitely crazy talk.
But strangely, Dillen’s eyes were calm.
Eyes that held no madness or greed.
“Since everything’s been exposed anyway, let me tell you one more thing, Rose.”
“…”
“I’m the one who told you how to return to Korea.”
【If you help me return to Korea, I’ll kill Yurta for you.】
Long ago, I had made such a promise to Dillen.
And Dillen really did find out how to return.
At that time, I wasn’t in my right mind after Selline’s death, so those were words I had blurted out.
“Where do you think I learned that method?”
“…Well, you said you read it in documents.”
Dillen laughed helplessly and shook his head.
“There were no such documents to begin with.”
“…Then.”
“The truth is.”
Dillen whispered with a sad smile.
I froze in place after hearing his words.
“I made a deal with the demon worshippers. Deals always come with a price.”
“…You met with demon worshippers? And a price? You never told me any of this.”
“That’s why I’m telling you now. What do you think the price was?”
“You…”
“I agreed to hand over Yurta.”
Dillen continued.
“You made a promise too, and I hated Yurta. What hesitation could I have had about handing Yurta over to the demon worshippers? I thought it was good for both of us, Rose.”
“…Dillen.”
He had been insane for much longer than I thought.
“So kill Yurta and go back.”
“…”
“If you don’t, I’ll kill Yurta and hand him over to the demon worshippers.”
“…Don’t do this, Dillen.”
I thought the curse had driven Dillen mad. But looking at him now, it was clear he had been steeped in madness for a long time already.
“If it’s difficult, I’ll help you.”
“What?”
Dillen forcibly grabbed and pulled my hand. I resisted, trying to pull my hand away, but I couldn’t overcome his strength at all.
Even in this state, what kind of strength…
“Don’t do it, Dillen.”
“…”
“Dillen!”
He forcibly pressed a sword into my hand.
“…Dillen, no!”
“…I’m sorry.”
“Don’t do it! I said don’t!”
The blade of the sword I was forced to hold aimed at Yurta.
The sword raised up high, in the moment it fell down.
“…Cough.”
Yurta coughed up blood.
“…My lady.”
He half-opened his eyes and called me in a faint voice.
But it was already too late.
Thud.
