Chapter 350: Chapter 350

TL: Zimmings

The body twisted at a strange angle, no, Neliard’s head turned and his eyes turned black.

“Leblaine.”

A terrible groan was heard next to him. Juliet who crouched and covered her ears let out a scream.

I also felt the same way. Just hearing his voice seemed like my body is about to burst.

As if hanging weights on my head, my head was involuntarily lowered. My eyes were hot as if they were about to explode.

Seeing me gasping with my mouth open, Boone ran out in front of me and Juliet.

“You’re going to kill her, Neliard!”

Neriad said, “Ah.” and looked at me

“That’s right. The human body can’t stand even this level of divinity.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a swishing sound. Then, a twisted face was now right in front of me.

“How about it? You still can feel the pain at this point?”

“……!”

Rather than feeling disgust, I was trembling with fear.

He is no match for any of us.

Neliard, who saw me, straightened his back and looked around.

“Forgive me. Human beings can’t handle you no matter what.”

At that moment, Baal said so.

He quickly pulled me, hid me in his arms, and put the vines in front of Neliard.

However, when Neliard clicked his tongue briefly, the vine trembled and sank. As if to tell us who’s the stronger one.

“Do not disturb our reunion.”

“She’s a child who died at the hands of her brother. There is no reason for her to be happy, so go back, Neliard.”

Bang!

With a violent sound, Baal flew away in an instant and crashed into the wall.

Baal’s vines wrapped itself around him so that he could not move.

Once again, Neliard, who moved, grabbed Baal’s chin.

“You shouldn’t be talking like that.”

“Ugh…”

“It was Serga who killed my sister.”

“This guy……!”

“They have always been nice to the weak ones. But humans have crossed the line because they’re not being properly disciplined.”

“…….”

“That’s why my poor sister passed away.”

“Ugh…!”

The vine twisted his body as if it would tighten Baal to kill him.

Other devils were also unable to move because their ankles were wrapped around vines.

Juliet and I were the only humans who could move here. However, Juliet was trembling as if she would collapse at any moment, so she could not be of much help.

Eventually, I was the only one left, so I rushed to Baal. And I struggled to move the vines somehow.

Since my divine power couldn’t be used, I had no choice but to tear off the vines with my hands.

My hands were messed up by the thorn of the vine, and my nails were torn because I was digging through the thick stems, but I didn’t feel pain.

‘Please release him, please!’

Neliard took a step back and watched what I was doing.

“You don’t change. Still, others come before me. Even if you’re a weak being who can’t protect them.”

I quickly turned my head and shouted at Neliard.

“Release Baal! I’m the one you have to deal with!”

“…….”

“Neliard-!!”

Neliard looked at me as I screamed.

The vine loosened and Baal fell to the floor. I hurriedly held on to Baal, who breathed heavily.

“Are you okay?”

When asked, he looked at Neliard and said, “Yeah.” It was then that a sigh escaped my lips.

At the same time, my lips felt bloody because I was biting too hard.

The fact that I didn’t even know that showed how nervous I was.

Neliard came out and murmured as he walked among the devils.

“People do not change easily. Even if their circumstances change.”

He smirked and looked at Boone.

“They’re naive.”

Pur,

“They looked rough, but were sympathetic.”

Baal,

“Their beliefs too.”

Storas,

“Made them fall in love with the same woman.”

And me.

“Even if they hurt her, it’s the altruism that she can’t let go of.”

I got up. And in a blink of an eye, I flew away and was caught in the waist by Neliard.

“People don’t change, so they need to know their place. Don’t you think so, sister?”

I gritted my teeth and pushed him away.

“What’s the meaning of a life if they can’t dream?”

“But it will be peaceful.”

“Does that seem peaceful to you? Waiting for it to be graded and shipped like livestocks?”

“In a world without desire, no one goes hungry. Let me ask, what killed the most humans?”

“……What?”

“Drought? Flood? Storm? Sickness? No, it’s humans who killed other humans the most.”

Neliard grabbed my shoulder with both hands and opened his eyes.

“War, murder. Where do they come from? It’s greed. Because they want more!”

“…….”

“The first thing that falls for greed is the weak. The youngsters that cannot protect themselves, a fragile woman, and old people who are overwhelmed by even moving.”

“…….”

“Look at this, Leblaine. This country was envious of wealth and wanted peace, so it took God’s blessing from other countries. Therefore, other countries are hungry because of drought, lose their loved ones in floods, and constantly wage war, keeping each other in check to watch what is left.”

Juliet looked at Neliard with a blue face.

Neliard tightened his grip on me.

Whenever she looked at Neliard with shaky eyes, she became more shaky.

‘……!’

God is a being who becomes stronger as human beliefs are gathered.

He who is impressed by Neliard’s words is the strength of Neliard.

Recognizing the correlation between Juliet’s expression and Neliard’s strength, I shouted.

“Juliet, come to your senses!”

Juliet took a deep breath and shook her head.

There’s something in his voice that’s bizarrely trustworthy.

‘So it must have been possible to push out Serga in ancient times and absorb the people’s faith that much.’

He even wandered the world as a God for over a thousand years now.

Most people will fall for his words.

Juliet is very wise and has a powerful mana.

Even she was almost bewitched, so if they’re an ordinary person, they’ll believe Neliard just by making eye contact.

‘Damn it.’

I knew Neliard would come in front of me someday. I tried to use the video tool as a means to bring in troops when the communication device was not available.

‘I can’t use it.’

If people listen to Neliard, they will definitely be moved, and then this person will be stronger.

Neliard’s gaze turned to the door.

“Boone!”

When I shouted, Boone quickly jumped and blocked the door.

“Don’t let him go outside. Don’t let people run into him.”

The devils joined behind Boone.

Neliard let out a shrill laugh.

“Sister, my foolish and lovely Leblaine. Even if I were weakened by you, I would still be able to harm a devil.”

“Then let’s see.”

“Do you really want to?”

I lifted my head and looked at him arrogantly.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t have appeared in front of me in a weakened state. Your goal is to appease me. If you appeared after gaining people’s trust and becoming stronger, you would have easily convinced me, but you didn’t. Why?”

“…….”

“Isn’t Serga blocking you? He doesn’t let your power reach outside the world!”

Neliard’s expression changed. I raised the corners of my lips.

“I’m asking. So, didn’t you ascend to the dead body when I came into the temple, where the power of Serga cannot reach?”

“…….”

“So I stopped you just in case something happened.”

The smile completely disappeared from Neliard’s face, and his eyes became sharp.

“Sister. Don’t make me angry.”

“You’re sick.”

At my words, the devils and Juliet’s eyes widened and looked at me.

“Child, no matter how disgusted you are…”

I snorted as Boone said while crying.

“Neliard always makes me angry, can’t I just say this?”

I was angry at him every day and every moment.

Neliard, the main culprit who made me lose my mother, and made me die three times, also the cause of all the misfortunes that me and my family had to suffer.

“I get angry every second every minute I face you.”

“It is an inevitable sacrifice for the cause.”

I laughed.

It was ridiculous, so I couldn’t help but laugh.

“I’m so angry at you, how could you say that the pain we have endured that was worse than death is a sacrifice?”

“Leblaine.”

“How can you consider other people’s pain as a sacrifice by changing their beliefs and fighting a war that put the world in a fire pit because of you?”

“…….”

“I should’ve brought Amy. Shall I become the ancient Leblaine and die in front of you?”

“Leblaine-!!”

When he shouted angrily, the temple shook violently.

If Baal hadn’t blocked the debris of the falling building, me and Juliet would have been seriously injured.

“Why-!!”

I also screamed without giving up.

“Do you want me to die now? Biting my tongue is not enough, right? Do you want me to use magic? So that my soul break and I don’t recover again. It’s a complete death. In front of you!”

“How could you say such a thing in front of me…!”

“When I ran away from the mountain with my mother, I felt worse than that!”

“…….”

I grabbed Neliard by the neck and glared at him with bloodshot eyes.

“A world for me? A world for children? It’s not even funny.”

“…….”

“Do you think me and the kids want the world you created? How can you be happy about the peace that you will enjoy after all your loved ones die?”

“…Is your mother this time so precious to you?”

“Of course-”

I stopped screaming after a black cave appeared next to me, and a terrible scream was heard from within.

Kiik, kik!

A scream that cuts the soul.

That voice.

‘Mom.’

I stiffened and looked at him.

“If you do, I’ll take out your mother. IShe won’t be completely cured, but if you can embrace the broken spirit, you’ll come back as my sweet sister, right?”

“What are you doing?”

Kiik-!!

My mother was in pain.

“Isn’t it enough? If you ask, I’ll bring the other one out as well.”

The scream that followed was clearly Reina’s voice. I become nervous and licked my lips.

“Don’t do it. Don’t do that…”

Gyaaa-!!

Following the scream, I heard a sound that felt like my bones were twisting all over.

I shivered and grabbed Neliard.

“If two are not enough, I’ll bring out three, four more and if it is not enough, I will leave more things as a spirit. What about your dad? If I rip the soul out of the body, they will lose their intelligence, but I will make sure they stay by your side.”

“Don’t do it, Neliard! Please…!”

“Sister, sister. My foolish and lovely sister.”

As I sat down without strength in my knees, he smiled kindly and tucked my hair behind my ear.

“How do you not know? Everything around you is an illusion. Only I am your reality and your future.”

“…….”

“You’ll blame me. I know, but there is rest at the end of the hellish pain. I’ll erase your memory.

If you want, I’ll create another memory for you. You can have a better family than Dubblede-”

It was then.

Swish-!

An arrow that flew through the air was embedded in Neliard’s body. The arrows were absorbed inside him. But soon another arrow, another arrow, and countless of it poured on him.

I quickly turned my head and looked in the direction the arrow was flying.

“……Jin?”

Jin and Vipasha led the Nashalk tribe and appeared in the temple.

Growl, growl-!

A growling came from behind him. It flew in an instant and pressed Neliard with its huge forefoot, and then stepped back.

“East.”

And.

“Get out, get out of the way!”

Boom! The pillar broke with a sound. Hong-hae lifted a huge stone pillar and hurled it at Neliard.

“The entire Dubblede Army, take Leblaine.”

Along with dad and my brothers, Dubblede’s soldiers came into the temple.

I stared at them blankly.

“How…….”

As I murmured, Hong-hae, who grabbed Juliet and ran to her, said,

“Are you okay?”

“How did you get here…?”

“You know, something strange happened. We all had the same dream.”

“Dream?”

“They dreamt of a blond, super handsome man, and he said you guys were in danger. Jin says it’s a dream, but I don’t think it’s a dream.”

“What?”

“I was obviously awake, and he appeared right in front of my eyes!”

The wind blew.

For some reason, the wind that brushed my hair was audible as if it was a human voice.

[I will always protect you.]

[So you keep smiling.]
