A never-ending nightmare ensued. She wanted to escape somehow but Vishna let her face this hell.
A darkness-filled prison. There, Adelia Sorne was imprisoned.
Itâs funny how Marquis Sorne cut Adelia off as if he had been waiting for the temple to brand her a witch. Adelia unavoidably ended up in âtheirâ hands.
Is there anything new? He is already that kind of person.
Adelia was fully exploited as a tool. She had been robbed of her divine power.
âWake up, itâs time to extract.â
Again they came. This was like the beginning of pain. Fortunately, Adelia was no longer one with âAdelia Sorneâ.
Since âAdelia Sorneâ became imprisoned in this mysterious location, Adelia has watched her as if she were watching someone else.
If I were still in that body, I wouldâ¦â¦.
She probably wouldnât be able to endure.
She wouldnât be able to think clearly. She will also pass out alongside her.
Is this Vishnaâs bare minimum?
Thatâs funny.
Adelia waited for the imminent scream to end.
âAhhhhhhhhhâ¦â
It was a terrible scene. But she was powerless to intervene; all she could do was observe. Sheâd never felt so helpless before.
When is the nightmare going to end?
âPlease, please let me go.â
With a husky voice, Adelia Sourne pleaded. Her sincere appeal, however, was pletely ignored by them. Instead, only contempt and mockery are returned.
âItâs noisy.â
âI suppose you havenât given up yet, but I think itâs time for you to.â
âTsk. Itâs better not to have pointless hopes because your father isnât looking for you and even if you leave this place, you wonât have anywhere to go. But that wonât happen.â
Even though it wasnât intended for her, Adeliaâs heart seemed to break.
Right now, she wanted to cover that manâs mouth. She wished she could get out of this place. She yearned to get away from this despair. She desired to inflict the same suffering upon those who had wronged her.
Ahâ¦
Adelia realized at that precise time.
That this is not someone elseâs memory. This is her story.
You wanted to let me know this,
Vishna.
Adelia was able to e out of a deep dream as soon as she realized it.
The nightmare is over.
***
Adelia slid her eyes open. Her eyes were illuminated by the brilliant light that came through the stained glass.
âYouâre up.â
âVishna.â
âHow did your trip through painful memories go?â
In Severanceâs body, Vishna had anxious eyes. With a deep sigh, Adelia stood up and responded to Vishnaâs query.
âIt was the worst.â
ââ¦â¦it was something you had to go through someday, no matter how difficult it was.â
Yes, it was something I would eventually have to experience. Never in my life should I be ignorant.
Adelia was still unsure of a few things, though. It is the memory of her âprevious lifeâ that she remembers.
âThen what was the life of âYoo Sun-wooâ?â
When Adelia asked, Vishna smiled bitterly and satisfied her curiosity.
âThatâs because I had to temporarily relocate your soul to a safe location in order to change the course of the worldâs time. For that reason alone, your life as âYoo Sun-wooâ must have been unstable.â
No doubt, Yoo Sunwooâs life wasnât all happiness. Now, Adelia understood the reason. It was because her soul never belonged there.
âSo, what was the story of this location that I read there?â
Vishnaâs face flashed with plicated emotions, and Adelia realized that God could also display that look.
Adeliaâs eyes slowly followed the movements of Vishna as she slowly rose, causing the white hem of her clothes to flutter.
A gentle voice eventually revealed the worldâs secret.
âWhat you saw was the end of this world that once occurred; this world has already been repeated many times.â
Adeliaâs eyes trembled. There have been numerous previous iterations of this world? Does that imply that we have already reached the end?
The end. That impliesâ¦
Vishna gave Adelia a tender glance. Her softly glowing eyes consistently read Adeliaâs thoughts.
âThatâs right. Chaos finally woke up.â
âWhy werenât you able to stop him?â
Vishna answered, folding the corners of her eyes.
âTo my shame, being called God is not as omnipotent as you think. Itâs because we canât escape the law of causality.â
When Adelia heard Godâs voice, she bit her lip. What will happen to the conclusion of this story if not even God can stop the destruction?
âCan you stop the destruction this time?â
âThis time, I staked everything on the line.â
The way Vishna said it was very adamant.
âEither I might vanish, or I might be put into sleep for a considerable period of time.â
Disappearance. It is absurd to think that the god Vishna will vanish. Adelia had a difficult time guessing what Vishna was up to.
âMy child, Iâve been waiting for this time; youâve grown up enough already; youâre not the weak you were in your previous life.â
She can handle the pain of loss at this time.
Adelia became terrified at Vishnaâs words. The pain of losing. The only reason she suffered from loss isâ¦â¦.
âVishna! What are you thinking?â
Adelia attempted to stop Vishna in a hurry. Vishna, however, embraced Adelia before she could mention it.
It was like she was forting her about the difficult path Adelia would take in the future.
âYou can blame me for this as well, but it wonât fall apart. If you give up, itâs all over. Collect the last relic and go back to the past. You could do it. And get rid of it, the spark of real disaster that will end this world. The cult of chaos. His name is Lasette. The traces of sin we left behind.â
Severanceâs body eventually fell to the ground defenseless. Adelia realized that Vishna had disappeared on her own.
Going back to the past. She couldnât understand it at all.
âHaâ¦â
Adelia started laughing as she stood by herself in the temple. She was thinking about a lot of things.
Revenge? Of course she wanted to. Lasette, was the leader of those who subjected her to excruciating suffering in a previous life.
If I could get rid of him or muck with his plans, I could do anything.
But to travel back in time.
Can that be done?
What Vishna said had been on her mind. She canât believe she grew up enduring that kind of pain. She seems to be predicting that she will undoubtedly suffer a significant loss in the future.
How foreboding.
However, Vishna abruptly vanished without responding appropriately. As usual. She was being effectively utilized.
âDamn God.â
Adelia took the relics that had fallen from the Popeâs arms while openly cursing God.
First, her initial goal was achieved. She also confirmed that the Pope was alive, so she planned to leave when Bishop Berg and the Pope came to their senses.
âPlease be safe until then.â
***
Demalo held onto the tension tightly. Others felt the same way.
Sandstorms were always blowing in the desert because of its dry climate. They had a hard time maintaining visibility because of this, but they raised their eyes even higher to scan the area.
Then, Lensley caught sight of something.
âEveryone, pay attention. Someone is ing.â
Those manning the entrance to the sacred ground quickly drew their swords when they heard his signal. A black figure soon appeared in front of them.
âUntil the very end, the killifish are interrupting us.â
It was terrible; the person who approached them was not one of their allies.
âIs the saint among them?â
Montras spoke in a slightly worn-out voice as he looked over at the pillar that Lensley and his group were protecting. Demalo firmly grasped the swordâs handle to reveal its expertly crafted blade.
âThe opponent is worn out.â
In addition, there is only one. They managed to stop them just enough. No, they have put an end to them.
âItâs been a hassle, and we were delayed because of you, but Iâll finish this in no time.â
Montrasâ hand exuded black energy. The hazy energy that resembled smoke soon took on the form of a razor-sharp sword.
He focused his first shot on Melinda. It happened quickly.
âMelinda Orca!â
Melinda collapsed without realizing she had been beaten.
Shitâ¦
Melinda didnât realize she had been attacked unexpectedly until just before she passed out.
Melinda was the smallest of her colleagues. Because of this, she was the target of the enemyâs initial fire. She was therefore accustomed to surprise attacks and was always prepared for them.
Even though she was that kind of girl, she was instantly taken in. He exceeded her expectations in a big way.
âOne of you has been taken care of already. Next isâ¦â
They will suffer if they continue in this state. The ideas of Lensley and Demalo coincided. The two decided to work together.
âHo-oh. Did you think it was worth a try? Thatâs not even funny.â
Unidentified black thorns surged from the ground and rushed toward Lensley.
âDamn it!â
âHa..â
Fortunately, Lensley was able to lessen the damage with the aid of Demalo, leaving only a light graze on his arm. But Lensley was unable to move. Even though he was only slightly hurt, his entire body tensed up.
âDamn! Is it poison?â
He had to tell him that it was poisonous, but as soon as he opened his mouth in that way, a gush of black blood emerged from his lips.
âKeugh!â
âHey!â
Lensley collapsed as he heard Demaloâs cry. Lensley saw Melinda lying down with her skin dyed black just before he lost his mind.
