53 – Drowning (1)

A quiet night where not even the silence will notice you. A person was driving a stake.

Bang, bang. The kind of sound that should come out when driving a stake didn’t come out.

Like hammering in water, there was only a heavy impact in the action, but no sound came out. The depressing silence was brutal enough to hold one’s breath.

The stake was made of bone, not wood, and the place where it was driven was not wood, but someone else’s flesh.

The piledriver who sentenced the world to the quietest death thus rose from his seat with a proud smile.

I am the pile driver.

“Whew.”

I let out a breath while wiping the rewarding sweat. I could feel my vocal cords vibrating in my throat, so I was sure I was sending out a sound, but I couldn’t hear it.

【Other wisteria flowers】

The purple flowers that bloomed profusely performed the incompatible function of the sun. Those countless wisteria flowers became the only street lights in the dark forest.

The purple light that provided sight like that took away sound in return.

A flower used as a power source to create light by absorbing all sounds around it. It is the magic that makes such wisteria flowers bloom.

Of course, I don’t know how to use magic like this.

I looked down and saw a corpse with a stake driven through its heart.

The wisteria flowers withered one by one, and finally the purple silence that filled the surroundings disappeared.

“Are you done now?”

“Oh, I can hear you now.”

“Of course I dispelled the magic.”

“I can’t even scream your gossip out loud anymore.”

“Oh, did you do that too? Me too.”

Lilia, taking my joke lightly on her, cautiously approached her corpse. She was a corpse I made, but also a corpse.

I punished you for doing something that violated the general etiquette of a corpse becoming alive again. It quietly made the heart that was not beating even more, and made it into the state of a corpse, which was originally his daily life.

“Does the spell work properly…?”

“It seems like it works when you don’t explode while f*cking.”

“You got it right, right?”

“I do the stitching. I’m good at stitching.”

I used to nail a lot while repairing the roof of an orphanage, and besides, I can sew. I pierced my heart with a spear many times. This deserves to be called professional.

“…Is that s*xual harassment?”

“If you want to think so, think so.”

“Keep our line. No matter how attractive I am, it’s okay to try to s*xually humiliate me with metaphorical remarks like that. Rather, tell me directly.”

“You crossed the line, damn you.”

To say such a joke without changing a single expression on his face, I think he has a very shameless personality. I hope you will learn a little about my seriousness of not joking. It’s been half a year, but instead of being serious, I feel like I’m getting weaker and weaker.

Lilia calmly rested her chin on my shoulder and stared at her corpse.

“Wouldn’t it suddenly explode after being caught off guard like this?”

Half a year since I encountered the necromancer, she sent countless new corpses to torment us.

Seeing that no other vampires came to visit us, it seems that I am really the only one keeping my secret.

However, it is still true that she is a great danger.

They came without even trying and tried to kidnap me, and they knew my identity. It’s not unusual to get tired of suddenly changing your mind and spreading even sneaky rumors among vampires and devil worshippers.

Thus, along with the journey for the ordeal, we began the pursuit to find and kill the necromancer.

Half a year passed just like that.

I couldn’t find any trace of the necromancer, let alone the ordeal.

It wasn’t meaningless, but it was half a year that wasn’t rewarding either.

But recently, with the help of a kind person, we’ve learned a spell that can even damage the controlling subject.

I needed human bones for that magic, but considering my body, it’s as if there are no disadvantages.

Thanks to that, I managed to get a corpse that was fine like this.

Until now, corpses on the verge of death (it is absurd to say that a corpse is on the verge of death) always self-destructed.

It wasn’t an explosion on the level of the corpse of his self-proclaimed mother that he had seen before, but it showed enough power to make a human body disappear without a trace.

From nob le mt l dot com

Perhaps due to the influence of witchcraft, this corpse showed no signs of exploding, even after a considerable amount of time had passed since its movement stopped.

“Yeah, that looks good.”

Lillia was relieved and she drew a circle with her wand behind my back.

To me, it only looks like a circle, but there must be a lot of delicacy sleeping in that movement that I can’t understand.

I soon remembered several rings of magical characters resembling hieroglyphs around the corpse I had silenced. It whirled around and it became embedded in the limbs.

A magic circle barely enough to contain a person shone beneath it, and the circle embedded in the limbs rotated.

The rays connecting circles and circles are intertwined as if playing a string. The lines woven as if building an elaborate castle soon became a map and a direction.

“I found it.”

The tracking magic succeeded. The tracking magic that I couldn’t do because the corpse spontaneously ignited.

“I found the last place this body was!”

Lilia grabbed my shoulder and shook it, expressing her delight.

“This is the first harvest in half a year.”

“Yes, it’s the first harvest I barely got. But what’s the reaction? I’m more than happy.”

“As expected Lily Aya! Even though a flower loses herself and has her fading beauty, she has an intelligence that can’t be defeated by her features! On this long, long journey, she gives me a harvest as sweet as honey!”

“Right!”

So we decided on our next destination.

**

We returned to the inn and unpacked our clothes.

We shared many stories and had expectations for the next trip.

Nevertheless, there was still a night left, so I had time to rest in preparation for the next trip.

In other words.

“Hey, close your eyes.”

It’s time to give me a honey-like sleep.

“Is it okay if you don’t sleep?”

“So I already slept during the day. And I’m going to sleep on the way tomorrow anyway. Don’t worry about me and close your eyes.”

I found it absurd to ask her to close her eyes now, but I obediently granted her wish.

In the dark state, the sense of touch and hearing become more sensitive. This is because the body that has lost sight struggles to find and absorb more information.

“So, then…?”

Lillia’s hands carefully held my cheeks as if supporting flowers. Each other’s body temperature is exchanged in soft hands. After all, her temperature is higher than mine.

I can feel Lillia’s presence getting closer. Her breath touched her philtrum. It feels a bit ticklish.

“It’s funny…”

I just laughed because it tickled me, but I think I misunderstood something. I am a pure white without any dark heart, which is unfair. Of course, it’s pure white with a lot of mud on it.

“Are you enjoying this?”

With those words, someone’s door touched my lips. It is a door that contains life, and a passage through which one’s own life is released.

A warm, soft feeling wrapped around my redness. The hand on the ball stiffened slightly. I grabbed the stiffness with my hand and touched it.

I touched the trembling fingers little by little, and they became soft again like before.

Slowly, her breath enters me. An unfamiliar sensation flowing through the body, a sensation that is not so unfamiliar anymore.

It is magic. The magic that smells like Lillia’s flowers began to flow inside me.

I hugged Lilia and then leaned her back. After that, it was a soft bed, not a cliff, so my head didn’t get hurt. However, Lilia was surprised and bit my tongue.

“…Eup, puha! Mmm, what are you doing? I was surprised!”

Lillia hurriedly opened her mouth. She patted my chest with the palm of her hand to express her displeasure. She didn’t get sick, as she didn’t have much of her power, having her life tied to her magic.

“You tried to put your tongue in at the end? You don’t even have to!”

At that question, I opened my closed eyes. I tried to cry to prove my innocence, but my acting skills weren’t that good, so no tears came out. You seemed to be smiling

“Oh, that can’t be.”

“This, this baby …!

Lillia put her palm near my heart in resignation. It’s heavy, so I want her to move away from me, but I didn’t say anything because I thought I’d get scolded if I said it.

I closed my eyes again.

Drowsiness came. An innocuous demon that is more painful than poison and sweeter than love is eating away at my consciousness. When the sorceress devoured all my consciousness,

I fell asleep.

**

And as always, I had a dream.

In a lily-colored void, two unique heterogeneities.

The palm in front of me and my eyes.

Unlike the first time I saw it, that palm was in full bloom like a lotus flower. Like a work created by some mad artist, the lotus flower, in which human hands replaced the petals, was demonic.

Of course. Because that’s the devil The first demon I ever saw. My body and instinct.

It was decorated with various chains, weights, and iron nails to prevent it from blooming any further.

However, the seal seemed to have been overpowered. Broken chains, fallen weights, and broken nails decorated the ground like a flower bed.

“Why did this get bigger…”

“It’s because you couldn’t control your emotions.”

The dream you always dream, the demon you always see, and the voice of the wise man you always hear. They are impurity molecules that pollute my beautiful sleep time.

I go through every sleep, but every time it’s unpleasant.

“I told you. Control your anger. Anger brings out your instincts. Don’t you realize that your instincts are never quiet.”

“That’s why we fought quietly today.”

I asked Lillia for magic and kept her calm. Every word forced Morbe to shut up, scratching my nerves. Thanks to that, if today was fun, I was happy, but I wasn’t so angry.

If it wasn’t for the silence magic, I would have been able to raise the excitement to the beat of the pile, but this is a little disappointing.

“And I’m angry, so what can I do? It’s like saying to control love. No matter how much you control it, it will explode someday.”

“…I guess so. Just try a little harder.”

The day I spread my wings, the day I got infinitely closer to the devil, Lilia gave me her kiss.

And the devil’s chains I saw in my dream that day were on the verge of coming off, and the wise man urgently told me.

“Of course I will. I don’t want to become a demon lord.”

The conditions for becoming a demon king, the conditions for becoming a demon.

It is very simple.

When you have the will to reorganize the world. When revealing treason to order.

When my instincts rule my actions, when my ideals prey on me.

“I will live in peace.”

When I am angry.

When a thousand dollars circulate the blood instead of the heart.

“I’m glad you do.”

I carefully observed the demon in front of me. I am that, and that is me. The shape of that palm merely embodied my image. No one knows what it actually looks like. That’s my instinct it’s my thousand dollars

My flame took the form of a demon.

“…I’m sorry, I put a heavy burden on you.”

“It’s not the burden the wise man gave you, so there’s no need to apologize.”

The wise man felt sorry for me. For letting me know my fate, I have suppressed myself. It should be. Otherwise

“Besides, if only you could meet in person anyway, everything would be resolved.”

But it’s not such a fuss.

Until then, all you have to do is suppress your anger as much as possible and solve the ordeal.

This is a very easy task.

What anger is a philanthropist like me. The emotions that make me feel are love, mercy and trust. The shape of my mind is a wide bowl. No one refuses to be human. That inclusiveness makes most behavior acceptable.

Of course, sometimes, very occasionally, the shape changes.

The human mind is not easy. People cannot live as long as they are rational and logical. People are people because they have emotions. So it can be beautiful.

The essence of the mind is like iron. It can be melted down and recreated at any time. When various conditions overlap, and a fire and a mold to melt are created, there is no other way to do it.

Become a new heart, become a sharp knife. It is irresistible. Iron has no will. You cannot rebel against the hands of the creator.

“Don’t worry. You know my personality. Nothing will happen to you to worry about.”

“…”

I thought that the reason why the silence created by the sage was somehow unnatural was that I was so moved that I was speechless.

**

In the morning, we got on the train. I was very uncomfortable with the size of the demon growing in my dream yesterday, but I decided to forget it after seeing Lilia’s face.

As expected, beauty is good. Just looking at it makes my worries fly away. I’m not a looker, but I’m a looker. The face is awesome

“What are you looking at?”

“Your face.”

“Because you’re so pretty?”

“Yes.”

“I know something.”

“Oh, I suddenly hate to see you. Unlucky b*tch.”

But I didn’t want to boost Lilia’s confidence in her looks, so I quickly looked out the window.

“Mr. Woo, why. Praise more. Quickly.”

Lilia tapped my foot, but she ignored it, focusing only on the scenery.

A wide river shimmered in my eyes. Did you say it is the widest river in the world? It was grand enough not to be disappointed with such a formula.

Lake Jean Hardy, who did not want to show her own bottom, wore a dark blue dress. It even knows how to spend a lot of extravagance, it used the sunlight as its decoration and adorned itself with flashes that sparkled like diamonds.

The place we are going is on the water, a city of suspicious ships, a city where all kinds of secrets flow like a river.

‘Hydr Toum’

As I stared blankly at the waves like that, my heart felt much more at peace.

From nob le mt l dot com

Peace like a river, love like the sea.

These words really suit me. Don’t be like that

-Kik.

Even the unpleasant stop noise was nothing but a cute bell to me now.

“Ho-ho-ho, shall we wake up then Lilia?”

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Did you take your medicine?”

“What are you talking about, Lilia, I’ve always been like this.”

To me, who has gained peace like a river, anger is like a flaming arrow fired into a lake. It means useless.

I smiled and stood in line on the way out.

Thirty minutes like that.

Still, the line showed no signs of diminishing.

“You work like a man. f*ck.”

What are you doing that takes so long? I suddenly became displeased and spat out swear words. Oh no pig. Peace like a river. A love as wide as the sea.

The surroundings were filled with the sounds of Bolmen, probably feeling the same way as I did. Uhh stupid stuff. You have to be prepared to accept all situations with a broad mind like me. Let’s love peace

As if everyone couldn’t be like me, complaints continued to pass through my ears. Some of them were interesting. Why this delay is happening now.

“Why are you so slow! Are you working or not!”

“That’s what I mean, Lillia, I heard that the demon police are checking?”

“What? The Demon King?”

I focused my senses for a moment and caught the presence of people around me, smells and voices blowing in the wind.

“…Lilia, do you think we can get through quickly?”

“Huh? Why?”

“There is such a thing.”

What is good acquaintance? Also, connections are the best.

“Lilia, blow the flame.”

“Chloride? Suddenly to whom.”

“Anyone close to here.”

“Anyone? What is that… I said that people who don’t agree with each other can’t fight… Oh, what if it’s the Devil’s Land?”

As expected, Lillia, you’re smart. With just this amount of clues, I drew a conclusion right away.

Lillia quickly pressed her staff to her temple. Even though not much time had passed, the response arrived quickly.

All of a sudden, our bodies floated up.

The art of floating in the sky without a rope.

I know of a magic that can do this.

【Sky Wind】

The magic that saved me before.

Enjoying the feeling of floating in the sky, I greeted the person I met after half a year.

“It’s been a while Innis.”

She has a more dignified face than before.

Remembering the red pen in my arms, I met her eyes and gaze.
