126 – Immortality (7)

As Stella said, there was no answer.

It was the same this time too.

I saw a village covered in the color of death and a person covering his eyes with all his body to protect the child.

He was the leader of the Holy Knights. She stiffened with an expression of resentment, and the child below was in the same situation.

‘It doesn’t make any sense…’

Why did you try to protect people when you knew everything? Wiz was puzzled. At the same time she grieved slightly.

She found out that she was more affectionate than she thought.

In this episode, the leader also cooperated.

Her The reason for her collaboration with her was simple.

She came to catch a candidate for the hero, but was counterattacked.

As Stella and Eva explained her situation to her who had been suppressed – Wiz, who was not good at speaking, watched from behind her – obediently cooperated with her.

In the meantime, I assumed that it would be an enemy and suffered damage, but it was very helpful. As the master of the Holy Knights, it was obvious that she would be knowledgeable about demons and curses. Wiz asked her to cast a curse on her demon worshiper.

What she found out with her help was quite interesting.

One is not one, but dozens of curses on devil worshipers. They all die after a certain amount of time. Some curses make you die if you forcefully read your memories.

Another one was about the insurance of those curses. There was an additional curse that would kill you the moment you touch the curse to heal.

Finally, this demonic ritual was for a year. No matter how much you delay the activation of the curse, the moment it is activated later, the demon of death is born.

The Devil Worshiper was not the third-rate villain of fiction. He was a madman who thoroughly calculated and prepared for all areas.

“Whoa…”

This time, Wiz was completely exhausted. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find a solution. Still, Wiz did not stop moving her steps.

She sees endless deaths, but she couldn’t let go of her hope that there might be one more clue. For example, the devil’s weakness.

“It could be…”

Wiz smiled bitterly. How long do I have to repeat this madness? She didn’t feel

Wiz looked around her and found that she was able to make eye contact with another demon. A stream of tears fell over her, like a meteor, over her thick black blood. Those eyes of hers met hers and flew down, not knowing what the salty water was.

He knelt down and wept beside a witch named Lilia.

Wiz wanted to cry too. But he couldn’t because he thought he would be more tired if he shed tears.

“…A riddle, did you find the answer?”

“What are you talking about…”

Iva let out a dejected saliva and looked around further. Tears welled up again, probably realizing that Stella was not with her.

However, I wiped it off by rubbing my eyes with my sleeve. He must have been embarrassed to show his tears.

“It’s fine if you don’t know…”

Wiz felt ashamed for asking such a question for no reason. There’s no way to know, but you have to expect what to expect.

“You know, Wiz.”

“Hey Iba…”

Wiz pushed ahead with her own opinion, cutting off Eva’s words as she looked at herself pitifully.

“Do me a favor…”

Having lost her player, Eva smiled bitterly and nodded her head.

As soon as he got his permission, Wiz rushed over to him. Then, she squeezed between the legs of the sitting man and inserted her own body.

“Can you… Be my place to die…?”

My tired mind and body wanted something to rely on. He couldn’t be Stella’s substitute, but he was the one to grant her own wishes.

“Crazy b*tch… Mad b*tch… You know you’re really embarrassed today?”

Wiz nodded heavily. Know. How selfish her own behavior she is now.

“Go f*ck it… Yes, this is your last request in life, but if you don’t listen, I’m the only one who’s an asshole.”

This is not the last request in life. She has the following but he doesn’t have Even if he ignored this request, the bastard would be himself, not him.

“…It’s just like that. Take a break and go.”

As before, Iva made a campfire next to it. The difference from before is that Wiz and Iba’s bonfires are now in the same location. Wiz sat with her entire back against his chest.

Wiz pulled his arm like a blanket, then passed his shoulder and placed it on his waist. The body temperature, which had been cold before, felt so warm now.

In a world of blizzards, even the person you hated the most has become someone to cherish.

“…I’m sorry.”

Wiz murmured softly and closed his eyes.

No, he tried to close his eyes.

Before he could close his eyes, all movement of his body stopped.

However,

‘What is it?’

I was still conscious.

The consciousness adapted to death sent by the demon of death caused a separation from the body due to excessive regression. Wiz was greatly taken aback by the completely unexpected situation.

But I couldn’t express it. Is this the kind of plant human that meets the definition the most? There was still life left, but there was nothing that could move at will.

Among the senses, hearing and sight remain. Everything else is gone

Wiz didn’t realize that the arm holding her was getting stronger.

I didn’t realize right away that slowly one person was falling apart.

“I said I’m glad I’m alive, so I have to live.”

I heard a mad muttering from behind. He seemed to be determined to something.

I haven’t heard anything from Eba since then. Intermittent moaning of anguish came from her, but she could not put it into words.

After that, she seemed fine for a while. No matter how much he couldn’t spend his whole life hugging Wiz, he got up and continued her activities. After looking around, Iba sat down in front of Wiz with a more distressed expression on her face.

The feeling of having to live in solitude in a snowy field where no one was left was truly terrible.

That was conveyed desperately to Wiz, who had to stare at him.

As time passed, Eva became visibly haggard. He was not enough to explain that he barely slept.

As time passed, she often looked into empty space and laughed, and bit her nails obsessively.

‘No.’

I grew thinner day by day and there were more bloodstains on the snowfield. It was the start of self-harm. He had no food, so he cut and ate his own body.

“hahahaha!! sh*t! What did I do wrong!”

The first day he ate his own flesh, he laughed out loud that the world was gone. There was a lot of swearing in between his laughs.

“Chao -like baby! If you’re going to go behind, you will be alone !!

It would be okay if he moved his seat, but he desperately lived by reducing his movement. Thick breath gushed from the corner of his bloody mouth.

‘No…’

Wiz knew the reason. It’s your own request. Asked to be the place to die, he was unable to leave his own tomb beside his body. He was honest yet foolish.

I’m sure it wouldn’t have changed even if I moved the seats anyway.

The reason she was forced to stay alive was that she squeezed out the favor she had left.

‘I never thought this would happen…’

Thanks to that, Wiz had to see the entire process of Iva going mad, buried in her loneliness, buried in her eyes, in her death.

Iba, who was calm at first, fell into rage and expressed it at will until the middle of the day, and at the end, she stared at empty space, as if she had lost the strength to do so.

The self-talk that is too small to be heard, the decaying body that cannot be expressed in words, and even the self-harm to continue life. It was such a sight that even those who looked at it would go crazy together.

‘I… I just wanted to take a break…’

Wiz wanted to shed tears at the ferocious survival he could see through his half-open eyes. But her stiff body wouldn’t allow it.

‘I… Think of this…’

She found her limits to him, and her limits to her.

Gradually, his consciousness softened, and his actions through the blurred vision became infinitely dull.

They fell asleep at the same time.

It was a miracle that happened in hell.

**

Wiz woke up and ran straight to the bathroom.

“Wooooo…”

My body couldn’t stand the fear and shock. Stella, awakened by the commotion that arose at dawn, patted her back anxiously.

“Wiz, Wiz? Are you okay?”

The more the hands were added and the contents poured out, the clearer Wiz’s consciousness became and his thoughts were organized.

‘This is crazy…’

Until now, Wiz’s actions were governed by a sense of duty. He was driven by a strong sense of guilt and duty that people would die if he didn’t act.

But just a moment ago, watching the sight of a person completely collapsing, Wiz came to a conclusion in his head.

‘Let’s run away.’

There is no answer to solving the demon of death. He picked up one possibility that he had been looking for and brought it up. Originally, he would have found a place to escape only after trying to block the demon manifestation as much as possible.

Not anymore. I had to quickly find a place to hide from the eyes before the demon manifested.

Wiz thought about the place as he roughly washed the corners of his mouth with water.

Among the stories Stella told me before, there was an unusual demon. A demon, a plant, and a place. A huge tree that is said to be enshrined in the most precious place in the center of the Elven Forest.

World Tree.

The inside of the World Tree is under stricter security than the outside.

The elves not only block the access of outsiders, but also say that they do not intend to invade the inside.

The most famous thing about the vastly secure World Tree is its absoluteness. The World Tree, which promised eternity to the elves, is also maintaining its eternity. Nothing harmful can harm it.

There have been several occasions when a conceptual being called a demon has shaken the elven forest, but not once has the world tree been damaged. That’s about it from the outside, but what about the inside where the greatest power is sleeping?

‘Assuring absolute safety if you can break in once…’

It was famous for being the safest place in the world.

That’s where we run away.

Wiz made that decision.

The corner of his mouth was scarred by his rough-cleaned hands. Damn, blood flowed. Seeing this, Wiz remembered the Eva she had just seen in her dream.

“Ouch…!”

It was as heavy as if you were pressing lead on your heart. Nausea came again, but I managed to overcome it. An hour was urgent now.

“Wee, Wiz…?”

The expression on his face in the mirror was so hideous that he had never seen it before. Stella’s face in her mirror was full of her concern.

“Stella…”

Wiz chewed on her name as if sighing. And….

It moved so fast that no one dared to react.

f*ck!

As soon as she got out of her sight, he knocked her out by hitting her on the back of the neck.

As she fell downward, she looked at Wiz in disbelief. The look in her eyes hurt her, but she couldn’t help it.

The elves’ forest is far away.

It’s too hard to convince someone one by one. It was sad not being able to borrow Stella’s ability, but it didn’t matter. As long as he had enough magical power, there was no place on earth that Wiz could not go to.

“For now… One person…”

Wiz picked up Stella and muttered.

Now, after taking only one person from the hotel, I was going to go straight to the Elven Forest.

**

Iva looked at the other person beyond the door as if it were absurd. She did it because a tall woman carrying a petite frame was a fairly unbalanced sight.

Despite carrying an opponent who didn’t fit her size, Wiz calmly said, “It’s heavy.”

“Follow me.”

“…Why me. And where.”

Eva asked, frowning at her.

“The Elven Forest.”

“Why are you there…”

“I saw it in my dream.”

Before Eva could ask further questions, she quickly answered her words.

“Please. Come with me.”

She threw away her usual languid tone and spoke earnestly.

“…Please?”

“Yeah, if you listen, next time I’ll listen to anything I can.”

I was sincere. If he only granted this request, if he would follow him for no reason, his next request would be fine.

Even if they enter the world tree and the world perishes, she wants them to live. Since the genders are just right, one male and two females, it would be a good idea to grow a new human within the World Tree.

I was prepared to endure any criticism or treatment. No amount of criticism and violence can compare to what they suffered in this crazy return.

“I don’t have time… Hurry up.”

It was a problem because Eva had a troublesome constitution that would run out of control when she fell asleep. She couldn’t be stunned, so unlike Stella, she had to be persuaded.

Wiz stomped her feet in her nervousness.

Eva smiled at her and nodded her head.

“…”

Wiz thought this positively and smiled broadly.

“Then, come into my arms quickly…”

“But wasn’t it your turn to do the favor now?”

Wiz’s movements, which were trying to carry Shinna Iba, stiffened.
