Side Story Episode 14

 

“…You have no intention of dying.”

 

“But if you come closer, I’ll slash without hesitation.”

 

“Sister, it would be best not to provoke me any further.”

 

“You killed me.”

 

With neither of us backing down in the tense atmosphere, I bit the inside of my lips.

 

This is nothing but stalling for time.

 

Clang—

 

Sharp metal struck the stone floor and bounced up. The sound rang out unusually loud.

 

“…Are you finally giving up?”

 

The corners of Yurta’s mouth twisted upward.

 

His face was clearly intoxicated with a sense of victory.

 

I didn’t answer.

 

Instead, I took a step toward him.

 

The poison of this cursed land is lethal to him as a transcendent.

 

Though he’s pretending to be fine on the outside, the poison must already be eating away at his mana from within.

 

It would have seeped deep into his lungs, making even breathing painful.

 

“Yurta.”

 

I deliberately called out in a low, gentle voice.

 

“…Let’s not do this. I don’t want to fight you anymore.”

 

“Sister.”

 

“And you, aren’t you pushing yourself too hard right now?”

 

His pupils wavered for a moment. Very slightly. But I didn’t miss it.

 

When I acted gently, you always wavered.

 

Even when you swore not to be fooled, you wavered every time.

 

“This land is rejecting you. Just breathing must feel like your lungs are burning up.”

 

“…It doesn’t matter.”

 

He spoke through gritted teeth.

 

“As long as I can take you with me.”

 

“Liar.”

 

I cut him off firmly.

 

“While you’re in pain.”

 

And I reached out to cup his cheek in my hand.

 

He trembled reflexively.

 

But he didn’t back away.

 

No, he couldn’t have backed away.

 

He was always like this.

 

What was so important about that kind of love.

 

Long ago it was both ridiculous and disgusting, but now I felt pity for him.

 

He craves only me for his entire life.

 

But…

 

‘We can’t be together.’

 

“…Guh, huk!”

 

It happened in an instant.

 

Yurta’s eyes widened as if they would roll back. A dark red clot of blood burst from his mouth.

 

I gathered all the sticky, black malice floating in the air.

 

I scraped together every bit of this land’s curse that devours flesh and mana.

 

And into his mana circuits that were open without any guard, I shoved it all in.

 

“Cough! Huh, urk…!”

 

It wouldn’t be simple pain.

 

The poison flowing through his blood vessels ravaged his internal organs.

 

Even the world’s transcendent couldn’t endure corruption bursting from within.

 

His massive body collapsed forward helplessly. His forehead crashed into my shoulder with a thud.

 

“Sis, ter…”

 

“Does it hurt?”

 

He moved his blood-stained lips and looked up at me.

 

“…That’s why I told you not to come.”

 

I coldly pushed away his staggering form.

 

“Urk!”

 

Yurta, thrown to the floor, clutched his chest and coughed up blood.

 

His white shirt was instantly stained with black blood. I took advantage of the gap to step back.

 

Now I need to run away. Before he comes to his senses.

 

But then.

 

“…Ha.”

 

He, who had been crawling on the floor, suddenly stopped.

 

And he raised his head.

 

While red blood dripped from the corners of his mouth.

 

His eyes were contorted with pain, but his mouth was twisted up in a grotesque smile.

 

“Haha, hahaha…!”

 

Yurta laughed. Even in the agony of his organs melting, he laughed madly like an insane person.

 

“As expected… that’s so like you.”

 

He roughly wiped the corners of his mouth with his blood-covered hand and stared at me.

 

Resentment? Anger? No. What filled those red pupils was clear ecstasy.

 

“That’s how you should be. Rather than treatment or anything, this is much more thrilling.”

 

“…You crazy bastard.”

 

“Try running away, Sister.”

 

He staggered but persistently got to his feet.

 

“Before the pain you gave me fades… I’ll come to catch you.”

 

* * *

 

I ran away.

 

Even though I had walked for a long time without sleeping a wink, I don’t know how I had the strength left to run.

 

But somehow I had to endure.

 

“Huk…”

 

There wasn’t much left until the cabin. I gave it my all until I arrived.

 

The cabin had protective artifacts. But they wouldn’t be able to stop Yurta.

 

‘I need to contact Rihardt!’

 

Perhaps… the culprit who attacked the Knights might be Yurta.

 

‘That’s how he found out where Rihardt was and came all the way to Piete Estate!’

 

Only a transcendent could have attacked the Elite Knight Order in the first place.

 

I don’t know if he knew that Rihardt and I were together, but…

 

‘I need to tell Rihardt…!’

 

I finally reached the cabin.

 

As I grabbed the door handle, my vision became dizzy.

 

I have to endure.

 

I gritted my teeth and opened the door. And at that moment.

 

“Aah!”

 

My feet got tangled and I fell.

 

As I fell, the luggage I was carrying jabbed into my ribs. Tears trickled out.

 

Just as I thought. My foot caught on the luggage I had left scattered around.

 

I should have listened when Rihardt told me to organize it…!

 

“Ugh…”

 

I need to get up right now.

 

Before Yurta storms into This Place…

 

As quickly as possible…

 

I put down my luggage and hurriedly entered the Cabin.

 

‘Artifact! Artifact!’

 

I became frantic. Where did I put the artifact last?

 

‘Ah, seriously, where did it go!’

 

This is exactly why people need to keep things organized.

 

Crash!

 

At that moment, I heard the sound of the door being smashed to pieces. This is crazy. Yurta has entered the house.

 

My heart pounded wildly. At this rate, I’ll be caught by Yurta without fail.

 

Without being able to tell Rihardt anything…

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Buzz buzz-

 

It was the sound of the artifact ringing.

 

[Rose, are you doing well?]

 

‘Rihardt!’

 

He had contacted me.

 

It was perfect timing, making my need to search for the artifact pointless.

 

[I have arrived at the outskirts of the Capital.]

 

“Rihar-!”

 

I urgently tried to inform him of this situation.

 

Crack!

 

At that moment, the artifact shattered. Transparent glass-like fragments scattered in all directions.

 

‘This is fucking crazy…’

 

I stared blankly at the artifact that had been smashed to pieces.

 

The shattered fragments scattered across the floor, and even the faint light was completely extinguished.

 

‘No…’

 

I lost any way to inform Rihardt of this situation.

 

A large shadow fell in front of me. The back of my neck stiffened.

 

Yurta, standing there bleeding, was looking down at me. Like some kind of evil spirit.

 

“Ha…”

 

Yurta approached right up to my face.

 

“Really…”

 

“You…”

 

“I can’t calm my anger no matter how hard I try, Sister.”

 

The moment I raised my head, I met eyes blazing with fury.

 

‘…He’s insane.’

 

This guy’s eyes have completely snapped.
