Chapter 195
Chapter 195 Having paid the price, Shi-eon fell to the cursed land. His only misfortune was that he fell farther into the past than he thought.Thus, he was trapped in this land for a long time. In order for him to leave the cursed land, a ‘restriction’ was created.The time of his annihilation was hastened. So Shi-eon could not leave this land except for a few necessary occasions. He was trapped in the land of the dead.Until one day. ‘Help me.’ A girl’s thin voice called out.After living in silence for so long, Shi-eon turned his head in mild interest. ‘Save me!’ The girl was screaming, floating there, shapeless as a ghost.What was that?It was a very strange shape. ‘Rather kill me.’ Knowing that her voice was nowhere to be found, the girl staggered like a dry branch swaying in the wind. It was a pitiful sight.In the days that followed, Shi-eon often heard her make dying sounds.But he could only watch. Too bad there was nothing he could do. Inwardly, he felt sorry for her.… That must have been why. ‘You can do something.’ One day, he decided to do her a favor. ‘Help me.’ ‘…….’ ‘… Save my daughter.’ The woman’s name is Celine. She said she had been looking for a way to save my daughter for a long time.It was then that Shi-eon realized. The identity of the girl who was screaming… The fact that she was the owner of the body that had been stolen by his seniors. ‘I’m going to die soon anyway, so I’ll give myself to save my daughter.’ ‘…….’ ‘So please help.’ She couldn’t survive. ‘Why me? How did you know me and come to me?’ ‘I’m a shaman.’ Celine smiled softly as if that was the answer. ‘I’ve been searching for a demon for a long time. I read in the old books that a demon, not a god, could save my daughter.’ ‘I’m not a demon.’ ‘Because you know everything.’ ‘Think as you like.’ Shi-eon had no intention of listening to Celine. I had no intention of making a variable by saving her daughter for nothing. ‘I can’t.’ So he refused. He threw away the desperately crying little girl and the mother who wanted to save such a daughter. ‘Thank you.’ But strangely, the woman smiled.As if she was sure Shi-eon would save her daughter. The woman walked away and died a short time later. ‘Mom…!’ Damn it. I saw a girl crying towards her mother. It was so desperate that for a few days, it tormented my eardrum. It had been a long time since he’d seen the girl, but her body had been taken, and she hadn’t grown. Would that have softened Shi-eon’s heart?At this rate, she’d keep crying and annoying him. She would cry and bother him forever, he thought, a little weakly. Wouldn’t it be okay if he kept her with him? As long as that child never leaves my arms, there will be no variables. ***** “… I’m sorry, senior.” Shi-eon apologized. He didn’t know what else to say, but his mouth was shut. “I… I thought I would be able to control her.” “…….” “Because she was young.” She had lived a long life, trapped in that tiny body. A child who hadn’t learned anything and was starved for affection. “But she grew bigger than I thought, and before I knew it, she was playing on top of my head.” “…….” “I was fooled by the blink of an eye.” The question of how Rosie had gotten there with her body lingered, but it never occurred to me that it could have been Shi-eon. But she couldn’t blame him.I was the one who took Rosie’s body and stole her life. “… Do you know anything about what Rosie’s going to do? She’s going to perform some kind of weird ritual.” “……” “She sacrificed people for it.” Shi-eon was silent. “You know about it.” “I’m going to stop it.” “How?”Shi-eon, who exhaled slowly, looked distressed. “She intends to kill a lot of people. But not for any reason.” “Then?” “Because she thinks that’s the only way she can get revenge on Hertas.” Sacrificing so many people just to get revenge on Herthas? Shi-eon replied whether he had read my expression. “Human lives are like flies to her, she’s been locked up alone for so long that her sense of morality has faded, and above all….” I listened to Shi-eon. “I hope she destroys Herthas the same way Count Hertas did to Celine.” Count Hertas, who used Celine as a sacrifice to increase Yurtha’s power. The Count didn’t know what his fault was until the very end. To him, Celine’s life was worth nothing. “Rosie wants to show Count Hertas.” Like I said, she’s crazy. Shi-eon added as if muttering. “I will stop it. So don’t worry.” “…….” “I… no.” Shi-eon suddenly stopped talking. He narrowed his eyes and looked around. “He came.” “What?” “A lot of people have come to this land. They are knights.” “No way…” “I think the Marquis Evantes noticed.” He’d already noticed, it was a disaster. How did he find out? “See you later, senior.” Shi-eon turned and looked at me and smiled faintly. “Yeah.” I just answered it as a courtesy, but Shi-eon smiled brightly at me. “Senior, actually….” Then Shi-eon opened his mouth to say something. “Maybe I’m not Lee Shi-eon.” “What?” “Rose!” At that moment, Richard rushed over and called my name. “I think we should get out of this land right now.” He must have sensed the same thing as Shi-eon and pulled my arm. I looked at Shi-eon, and headed to the door as Richard pulled me in. ‘Goodbye.’ Shi-eon said goodbye to me with his lips. “It seems difficult to meet the guild master.” Richard looked puzzled. “There’s been quite a bit of foot traffic, so I’m guessing it’s Evantes’ knights… and the guild master would have been spotted first.” Richard took me out of the land.But it was not easy to move.As soon as we left the temple, my body felt heavy with pressure, and I couldn’t walk fast enough. Richard carried me and ran. To leave this wide land.We reached the border. “Found them!” We were finally spotted by a knight who had been wandering around. “Here… Ugh!” Richard immediately subdued the knight, but it was after the knight’s roaring cry spread far away. The knights gathered quickly and we hesitated in a corner. Then a familiar face appeared. “Long time no see.” A man with golden blond hair showed a noble face from the cursed land. I swallowed my saliva. Argen looked at us with delight, as if he were pleased to see us. “Catch them.” The knights rushed right in. Richard grabbed my waist and ran. And at that moment, Bang! A black stalk shot out in front of him. He reflexively raised his arm to block it. Creeek- Richard’s arm was scorched by the black stalk. His skin flushed red as if he had been burned.What was that? Richard dropped me, but at that moment, something like a bomb flew from the other side. Richard quickly dodged the sphere, but when it hit the ground, it exploded, sending up a cloud of black smoke. ‘Is it poison?’ To my surprise, it had no effect on my body. What is this? But unlike me, Richard’s complexion immediately turned sour when he was hit by the smoke. “It’s a weapon made from things from the cursed land, and it works well with the Transcendental.” Argen laughed. It’s worst. The Cursed Land is a place that weakens the power of the Transcendent in the first place. There, he met the elite knights who were fully prepared, and the situation was not good. As if he thought we were at a disadvantage, Richard ran while carrying me. Heee! The knights on horseback tried to stop us, but Richard leaped high, knocking the one who stood in our way down by force.Just as we were about to leave the cursed land, something swift flew at us. As Richard ducked, a silver sword sliced between our faces, threatening to split us in two. Startled, Richard quickly let go of me. If he had held on, he would have cut me. I stopped stumbling.I looked up and saw the face of the man who had flown straight at us. ‘Yurtha!’ But there were no surprises. “Run, Rose!” Richard exclaimed. I got up right away and ran. I just need to get out of that passage. But. Catch him! Come on catch him! The knights on horseback followed right after Richard. I turned around and saw Yurtha running after me. Suddenly, my heart sank. I ran like a maniac. Like someone trapped in an abyss, screaming for help. The moment I was about to step outside, a rough force pulled me from behind. “……!” It crushed my shoulders and tackled me to the ground. “I got you.” “…….” “Sister.” His red eyes flashed with madness. An eerie energy passed through the back of my neck. As I was inhaling, at that moment, Yurtha came down and grabbed my ankle. What are you trying to do……!At that moment, I felt a terrible pain in my ankle. “Aaaah!” Crazy bastard twisted my ankle. The pain shot up to my head and I fainted. ***** When I woke up, I was locked up. With shackles on my ankles.
