182. Sunset
#182
The body, cut into seven pieces, collapsed. Blue blood poured out like an explosion and covered Ronan.
Darman’s head rolled around and landed at my feet. A voice that seemed to be squeezed out came out of his mouth, which had not yet stopped breathing.
【Yes…that guy.】
“Guts is useful.”
Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. Even though his head was cut off, his speaking skills seemed to be better than the original. Darman, who was glaring at Ronan with his eyes fluttering, sighed.
“…I lost.”
The magnificent voice had suddenly returned to its original state. The skin, which was as white as a sheet of paper, was once again turning an apricot color.
The sight of blood that was as blue as the sky slowly turning red gave the impression that something that was in Darman was leaking out. Soul or life or something like that. Ronan, the leader, placed one foot on his neck.
“How much is left?”
“Three minutes at most.”
“Then tell me this before you go. “What do you mean we’re suddenly not brothers?”
There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but the thing I was most curious about was the secret of my birth. In fact, she didn’t have much expectations. There was no reason for the dying Darman to answer Ronan’s questions. But he opened his mouth without showing any sign.
“Do I need an explanation? It’s literally like that.”
“Then why do you and I look so similar?”
“Well… now that I think about it, I’m really curious. “I thought you were a direct child of the religious leader just like me…”
Darman trailed off. His eyes were slowly fading away. He could instinctively feel that he did not have much time left.
“What is certain is that you are not the cult leader’s child… I have never had a younger sibling like you.”
“That’s a good thing. “I’m sure it’s not a lie.”
“Rest assured. Even though I have lived a life full of lies… I want to end it with the truth…”
Darman sighed in resignation. Since I was going to die anyway, I was really going to tell him everything. Ronan pressed the tip of his toe against his neck.
“You speak well. Then, while you’re at it, tell me why you came here. “You guys are here too.”
“It won’t be difficult… nothing.”
oh. Are you really saying this? Ronan was waiting for an answer with an expectant expression. A creepy murderous spirit emanated from a corner of my vision.
Ronan turned his head. Particles of light were gathering in Darman’s cut hand, which was rolling around on the floor. After realizing the situation, he let out a curse.
“Such a bitch…”
“Enjoy the rest of your life, which is only a moment.”
Ronan pulled at the hilt of his sword. Darman’s grip clenched his fist. Kwaaaaang! As the explosion exploded, a pillar of light rose into the sky.
Ronan cut through the explosion and jumped from his seat at the same time. Although it was much smaller than before, it was powerful enough to collapse the already weakened bedrock. It was the moment he crossed the swallow and landed. The crack where Ronan and Darman were gradually widened and collapsed.
As the light subsided, the wind blew away the smoke. Ronan walked to the edge of the crater and lowered his gaze. Darman’s flesh, which had been torn beyond recognition, was falling down the mountain along with the rocks. He muttered softly.
“You fucking bastard.”
For a moment I thought I had come to my senses, but as expected, I did. I was able to recognize once again that the way to save the world is to oust these bastards as quickly as possible. I could no longer feel the sparkling mana around me. As soon as she finished, her body suddenly began to feel heavy. Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
“Ronan! Are you okay?”
“Huh… everyone is alive?”
Ronan turned his head. The survivors, including Nabirose and Schlieffen, were gathered together and looking up at him. Everyone looked healthy except for Jaifa and Alogin, who were sitting side by side on a rock. Ronan said, pointing at them with his finger.
“What happened to those two?”
“They are both alive. I found a potion in the arms of a dead participant. “If we move him to the ward quickly, he will be fine.”
Indeed, I could see Jaifa’s shoulders rising and falling slightly. Ronan breathed a sigh of relief. Schlieffen, who was staring at him, opened his mouth.
“Have you finally developed your Aura? “What an amazing achievement.”
“Hey you bastard… is that important now?”
Ronan laughed. Schlieffen’s blood-covered eyes always glowed the same dark blue. Among the injured, many were wearing bandages made from torn uniforms. I wanted to punch him because he was so disgusting and weird, but his feet wouldn’t come off easily.
Suddenly, Ajie, who had collapsed and turned into a turtle, came into view. I don’t know if the wound was burned or not, but there was no blood flowing from the clean cut surface. Ronan pointed at her with the tip of her chin.
“Is that thing alive?”
“okay. “I don’t think I can last long.”
“Try to survive as best as you can. “Because there is a lot of information to extract…”
“Of course. “Your complexion hasn’t been very good since a while ago, are you okay?”
Nabirose asked worriedly. Ronan responded by raising his thumb. Of course it wasn’t okay at all. She continued, running a hand through her hair as if to reassure her.
“Thank goodness. “What on earth was that just now?”
“They are bastards who deserve to urinate on the grave… That’s right, everyone must have seen them.”
Ronan looked around. More than ten people were all standing dumbfounded. It seemed like there was no one who didn’t see Darman transformed into a giant.
“aha.”
Ronan laughed. Now I have a reason not to be called a crazy person even if I tell the truth about the future. She had a feeling that many things would change in the future.
‘Uncle Balon will like it. No, I’m going to collapse with foam at the mouth.’
Ronan, who had anticipated the Emperor’s reaction, chuckled. He suddenly completed his first mission. For the results of his first mission, this didn’t seem too bad. She also had guidance from Russell. Nabirose gestured to him.
“But how long do you plan to stay there? Come down slowly.”
“Wait a minute… the scenery is really pretty…”
Instead of going down, Ronan slowly raised his head. In fact, this was the summit of Farzan. The scenery of Farzan, including the holy site, came into view at a glance. The cool wind was blowing through my bangs.
The sunset at its peak was beautiful. The sun had already disappeared beyond the horizon in the west. A halo of purple light was mixing with red wet clouds and melting into the sky.
Tens of thousands of weapons were emitting light. The sound of the wind blowing between the blades sounded like a requiem for those who lost their lives during this festival. The faces of people I had a brief relationship with passed before my eyes. Russell, Riley, Fox Knight, Madame Olga. and···.
Ronan suddenly lowered his gaze and looked at the sword in his hand. The black and white sword body, like other swords, contained the color of the sky. Ronan, who was swinging his blade around and looking at the setting sun, opened his mouth.
“Good job.”
There was no reply, but he could feel Rin nodding. Ronan, who turned his gaze to the sunset again, grinned. dump. Her slowly leaning body fell backwards.
“···I am!”
“Get ready!”
My eyelids drooped quickly. The feeling of sinking into deep water enveloped her entire body. Nabirose and Schlieffen were shouting something in the dark. I wanted to tell him to come a little closer because I couldn’t hear him well, but my voice didn’t come out.
****
“Ummmm…”
Ronan opened his eyes. The first thing I saw was the pure white ceiling. I definitely remembered seeing the white finish somewhere, which somehow made me feel at ease.
“This place…”
He slowly raised his upper body. I saw rows of beds and various medical equipment. The ivory curtains were swaying in the wind that seeped in through the half-open window. It was clearly the infirmary located in the Gallerion Pavilion in Phileon.
“Fuck. “How long have I slept?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. It took her a week just to travel one way, so I had no idea how much she had slept. The wind tickling the bridge of her nose smelled like acacia. In Farzan, there was a warmth in the air that she had never felt before.
“hmm···?”
Ronan suddenly felt a weight around his thighs and lowered his head. Her jet black hair contrasting with her white blanket caught her eye. A familiar woman was lying face down, using her arm as a pillow.
“senior?”
“Wait a minute…”
It was Adeshan. Ronan nudged her cheek with his index finger and she rolled her eyes.
Adeshan’s face, which had just woken up, was extremely haggard. Her skin was pale and her eyes were dark, giving her the appearance of someone who hadn’t slept in days. Ronan silently reached out and removed a strand of her hair from around her mouth. Adeshan’s eyes, which had been blinking half-asleep, opened wide.
“Ronan.”
“Did you stay up all night?”
“Well, you’ve finally woken up! Are you okay? “There was no trauma, but I was so worried because I couldn’t open my eyes…!”
Adeshan hurriedly explained what had happened. Today was exactly 9 days since the unconscious Ronan returned from Farzan. He, Erzébet, and his friends from the special adventure club took turns to visit him, and as if to disprove him, there was a mountain of things like letters and healthy-looking food on the nightstand next to the bed.
“Ahrera. Damn, I’ve been lying down for a long time.”
“I’m really glad you’re safe though. Yes, that’s right. “What did you do just now?”
Adeshan suddenly stopped speaking and touched the corner of his mouth. The corners of her mouth were moist. She raised her eyes as she confirmed that what she had seen was not her dream.
“I-I don’t know! So this is…”
My white face suddenly brightened up. She desperately tried to explain why her liquid was leaking out of her mouth with all her hand gestures. Ronan, who was watching this, laughed. He slowly stretched out his arms and hugged Ade Shan without saying a word.
“…Ro, Ronan?”
Adeshan sighed. Since there were only two people in the nurse’s room, I could hear the heartbeat getting louder even if I wasn’t listening. Ronan said.
“thank you.”
“What do you mean by thank you? “Well, let’s start with this…”
“In many ways. “Thanks to you, my Aurors have also blossomed.”
Embarrassed, Adeshan struggled, but Ronan did not let her go. Ronan, in that same posture, spoke about the flowering of Aurors at the summit of Farzan. Adeshan’s hair, which remained black even when exposed to light, smelled of snow and wildflowers. At some point she stopped resisting and buried her face in Ronan’s shoulder.
“···Good.”
The two stayed like that for a while. The body temperature coming through the fabric was warm. Ronan, who somehow felt at ease, was dozing off again. A low, raspy voice came from somewhere.
“Oh, did it happen?”
“Kyaak!”
It was a familiar voice. Adeshan, startled, quickly pulled away. Ronan turned her head in the direction of the sound. A black man was standing with his back against the wall of the nurse’s office.
“···Zaifa?”
“It’s nice to see, yeah. “It reminds me of when her wife was alive.”
It was definitely Jaifa. After confirming that Ronan was awake, he smiled, showing his fangs. There was a thick bandage wrapped around his black chest that looked like it could stop an elephant from bleeding. Ronan laughed when he saw him munching on a melon as if it were an apple.
“Are you alive?”
“okay. It’s very shameful, though. “For the first time, I understood how the snake felt.”
Jaifa sighed. He explained that he fully recovered a day after being transferred to the ward. I remember he lost so much blood that it seemed like his heart had been cut in half, but he was a great guy anyway. He continued.
“Anyway, I’m glad you’re safe too. “There are many stories to share.”
“right.”
“It’s a bit much to bother someone who just woke up, so come back later. “Still, please have a brief conversation with this customer.”
“customer?”
Ronan tilted his head. Jaifa silently turned away from the wall and gestured through the half-open door. Squeak – The door opened completely and another giant came in cautiously. It was a werelion woman with beautiful cream-colored fur. Ronan’s eyes widened.
“you are···!”
“Long time no see.”
Were Lion bowed his head. On the day of the Dawn Unit massacre, the only survivor was Major Nemea. Jaifa said, patting her on the shoulder.
“okay. My lieutenant has something to say. “In relation to what happened that day.”
