278. Savior (4)
#278
“···Hello.”
Ronan bowed his head. The Savior smiled softly. I think I did well up to this point, but the problem was that I couldn’t think of anything else to say.
‘It’s so awkward.’
I gave Elthea a sneak peek, but she didn’t have time to look at Ronan’s face because she was sobbing in joy at the resurrection of her savior.
“Ugh… finally…”
‘Damn it.’
Ronan twisted his lips. After saying hello, the savior did not say anything and just looked at himself. Damn it, is there anything you want to say to your son whom you haven’t seen in a long time? Ronan, who had been scratching his head, rhymed.
“Uh…how are you feeling?”
“It’s much better. “It’s much better.”
“I don’t think so.”
Ronan narrowed his eyes. Although she seemed to have improved since before, it was still a miracle that she was still alive. Through a hole the size of her child’s head, she could still see the scene behind her.
“Well, I guess it would be correct to say that we have passed the critical juncture. “I have healed to the point where self-healing is possible, so now all I need is time.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“I never thought you would really save Abel’s blood… I can’t help but admire your courage and strength.”
The savior said. As he said, the wound was healing slowly. I was relieved that I didn’t make a mistake.
However, there was one part that pricked my conscience. Ronan answered awkwardly.
“Well, I just picked up what had fallen. “I don’t know who hurt that monster.”
“is it. “If it wasn’t you, it was definitely the kid who did it.”
“what? “Are you my sister?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. She had no idea what this meant. Speaking of my older sister, she was the one who asked me for favors because she was afraid of biting a chicken.
Even though he acted confidently saying he would cook meat for me, I could still see him crying when he saw blood.
That kind of person crossed swords with the leader of the Nebula Clazier cult and even wounded him? It was easier to imagine Asher using his telekinesis to pull Marya into a kiss. The savior continued.
“Your sister… So, Iril’s blood is much stronger than yours. Of course, you are superior in Ilshin’s strength, but that child is also capable of protecting himself.”
It was a calm voice, as if explaining common sense. Ronan was still dumbfounded, trying to conjure up the image of Iril stabbing her.
“No way.”
“It’s true. It’s just that Mujae had no chance to wake up thanks to the child’s other abilities. He hoped he would never wake up…”
“···Let’s say so. That’s right, I have something to ask.”
Suddenly Ronan snapped his fingers. She was delayed in getting to the point because she suddenly received shocking news.
There were a lot of things I wanted to ask and things that had been pushed back, but right now it was time to focus on saving Iril. It was the car where he was trying to explain the situation.
“There’s no need to explain everything. I’ve already seen it all. Iril must have been kidnapped by my foolish brother, right? “You came here to ask for advice on that.”
“What, how did you know that?”
Ronan raised his eyebrows. Now that I think about it, the conversation just a moment ago couldn’t have taken place without knowing what happened to Iril. The flow was so natural that I didn’t even notice.
“It’s no big deal. My eyes were closed, but my ears were open. “I remember every conversation you and Elthea had here.”
“her.”
Ronan laughed. He never expected that he would have been conscious even inside the glass coffin. Of course, it was good news that there was no need to elaborate. The savior sighed.
“Hmm… Anyway, if Abel took the child, the situation is not very good. The purpose is also the purpose, but since you will definitely be taken to the headquarters, you will have to deal with Abel and the archbishops at once…”
“That’s accurate. Is there any way? “It would be better if you also tell us how to stop the winged balds.”
“···I have to get out of here first. Elthea, take me out.”
“yes?!”
Elthea’s eyes widened at the sudden request of a savior. Tears were still clearly visible on her white cheeks. She whipped away quickly.
“B-but the wound isn’t fully healed yet. “If you overdo it…”
“hurry. There is no time.”
The savior spoke firmly. Before I knew it, a sad expression had appeared on my face. Is it because my only daughter was kidnapped? Elsie, who didn’t know what to do, eventually nodded her head.
“···all right.”
She walked to a corner of the room and operated a complicated-looking mechanism. Push Iik… The liquid inside the glass tube settled and the doorway opened.
“Ah, how long has it been since I’ve been on the ground with both legs…?”
The savior, who was moving his limbs around, took a step forward. It was the moment he came out of the glass tube. widely! His bony legs were crossed and his body tilted sharply.
“this.”
“Gu, savior!”
Elthea screamed. Ronan hastily reached out for her hand. Luckily she was able to catch it before her body hit the floor. He asked with a worried tone.
“Damn, are you sure you’re okay?”
“okay. It seems like my muscles are surprised because it hasn’t been a long time since I moved. “Thank you.”
The Savior nodded. He got up, staggering like a newborn deer. Elthea rushed over and draped a thick robe over his naked body.
“Hey, wear this. “You don’t want to catch a cold.”
“okay. “Thank you.”
Ronan’s brows narrowed. She wondered if she should immediately put it back in a glass coffin and pickle it again. She said she was fine and there was nothing she could do about it. The savior who was facing Ronan opened his mouth.
“···Then I guess I should answer. “It’s impossible for you right now.”
“yes?”
“Abel is strong. Much more than you can imagine. “You, of course, will not be able to win even if Navardose comes forward.”
The tone was as firm as it was cutting. If it was going to be like this, I didn’t understand why the fuck he wanted to come out. He said, roughly brushing his bangs.
“Damn it, I know that much. So I didn’t come here to ask you how to destroy that guy.”
A vein appeared on Ronan’s forehead. I came here to find an answer, but I was angry because they were saying things that were obvious. Elthea, who had been listening to their conversation, approached cautiously.
“Ro, Ronan. “Speak a little…”
“I’m sorry, but please just take a look, Elthea. I stayed quiet because my sister’s work was urgent, but honestly, from my perspective, this person is closer to a bastard who abandoned my mother and my siblings than a respectable father.
“that···.”
“I didn’t even just leave. “I jumped out with a lot of curses that no ordinary human could handle.”
Ronan growled. The resentment that had been building up for so long was burning brightly. In fact, Ronan would have punched the Vindicator in the face or stomach if he were in better shape. Something very spicy.
Elthea, realizing that it was not her place to intervene, kept her mouth shut. The savior next to her smiled bitterly.
“It’s not exactly wrong. “I was certainly far from a good father.”
“I’m glad you have a conscience. By the way, after struggling for a while, I finally met her mother. “It didn’t hurt at that time?”
Ronan asked. When I thought about it, it was strange. Is it possible for her to seduce her mother and have her child, even though she was so ill that she had to put her foot in a glass tube 5 years ago? The Savior shook his head.
“It hurt. But sometimes love can make you forget even the pain of death.”
“Wow.”
“You too will realize someday. “One of the truths I realized while wasting my long life is that there is no force more powerful than that in this universe.”
The voice was serious. The savior said that while he was fighting an illness, he happened to meet his mother and settled in Nimburton for a while. It was something I would live to see for a long time before the day came when we had this kind of family conversation.
“More than anything… your mother was so beautiful. So much so that I could throw away the rest of my life.”
“That’s a somewhat understandable reason.”
Ronan laughed. In fact, anyone who knew Iril’s face would easily be able to figure out why this old man had overexerted himself. There was an awkward silence for a moment. The savior who was reflecting on his memories opened his mouth.
“Then, let’s go now.”
“You’re leaving. “Where?”
“Shouldn’t we defeat Abel and save my daughter?”
“What, didn’t you say earlier that you would never win?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. It was different from what she had just heard. The Savior shook his head.
“To be exact, I said you couldn’t win as you are now. “There are ways to increase your chances of winning.”
“What is that?”
“I’ll tell you about that as I go. “Please carry me.”
“···yes?”
“hurry. “It’s a long walk, but I don’t think I can get there in my current condition.”
The Savior explained that in order to have any chance of winning, they had to go to a specific location somewhere in the Sea of Wraiths. It was so shameless that I laughed out loud. It was astounding, but since he had to believe it, Ronan lowered his waist and squatted in place.
“What is it…”
“What the heck… don’t be in trouble.”
The savior carried Ronan on his back without any hesitation. Somehow, the more we talked, the more people seemed to be changing from what I expected.
Perhaps because he had been trapped in a glass tube for a long time, the savior was very light. He said with admiration as he patted the backboard.
“You have a broad back.”
“···Heng.”
Ronan laughed. I couldn’t explain how I felt right now. It wasn’t very good, but it wasn’t bad either. The savior, who had adjusted his posture, spoke to Elthea.
“Elthea. Stay where you are. “It won’t take that long.”
“I will follow your wishes.”
Elthea bowed her waist. She was looking at the two people with a mixture of excitement and concern. As if dealing with her words, the savior who guided Ronan in his direction opened his mouth.
“Then, let’s leave.”
****
Unexpectedly, the road to the secret location was connected to the ruins. Ronan left the room and followed his savior’s instructions. The two went down the ladder to a small room that looked like a food warehouse in the most remote part of the ruins.
“How far does it go?”
“Depth… very deep. Are you tired?”
“Not really. “I just asked because I was curious how long it would take.”
Ronan blurted out. Actually, it wasn’t difficult at all. After going down the ladder for about 30 minutes, we came to a long, steep slope.
“···It’s so cold.”
Even my breath felt like it was freezing. For some reason, the deeper I went, the colder it seemed to get. It was surprising that a place like this existed in the Sea of Ghosts.
Unlike what was said before, the savior remained silent as he went. The expression on his face was so bad that it seemed like he was nervous. Ronan, who had been walking down the slope for a while, asked a question.
“So, what is that method? “How can I beat Abel like I am now?”
“······I can feel the magic power of Vajra and the heat of the primordial embers in your heart. “It’s really refreshing to do something like this.”
“yes? “Suddenly, what is that…”
“Ronan. I know you tried everything you could to break the curse. Nevertheless, about half of the curse still remains in your body.”
Ronan took a deep breath. I certainly didn’t expect that the story of a curse would come up here. The savior left him in confusion and continued speaking.
“I’m trying to get rid of that.”
