Fantasies That Descend on Collapse

"As long as Yae Sakura finishes this sacrifice with her own hands, then her body and soul will become my property. In this case, I will be free."

"..."

The man with the fox face mask just sat on the steps of the altar. He didn't care whether Teresa was listening to what he said. At this time, he was acting hard according to the script. The actors in the drama are average, telling the lines prepared for him with heart.

"How long has it been... the feeling of freedom, how long have I not felt it..."

"500 years? 1000 years? 1 years? It's been a long time..."

"..."

In the continuous narration, the man's voice gradually carried a bit of inaudible sadness, as if he was remembering something, and seemed to be recalling something, but even so, Teresa finally He chose to use silence to respond to this man who seemed to have fallen into madness.

"What the hell are you doing this for?"

Finally, Teresa, who was silent, still opened her mouth to raise the question in her heart.Because she heard some strange emotions contained in the man's almost gibberish words.

Vaguely, Teresa seemed to feel that there seemed to be some unknown secret hidden in the man in front of him who wanted to be free and to obtain Yae Sakura's soul and body.

"why?"

After hearing Teresa's question, the man was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look at Teresa sitting in the center of the altar, his head tilted slightly, as if smiling.

"For being so curious and rude, you should be given the punishment you deserve."

"But for you who are about to die, I will take this as your last wish."

"Well, let me tell you a story."

The man turned his head again, with his back to Teresa, and then slowly began to tell the story in his mouth.

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She had a power that seemed strange to others."

"People feared her and locked her up."

"In the end people were afraid of her and killed her."

The man's voice stopped at this point, as if he used this action to indicate that the story was over.

"Wait, what's the story..."

"Okay, the time for sacrifice has come, finally, finally this moment has arrived!"

Just when Teresa wanted to continue asking, the man suddenly stood up, looked up at the sky, and interrupted Teresa's question with a loud voice.When Teresa heard what the man said, she subconsciously raised her head and looked at the sky.

While the two were talking, the blood moon hanging high in the sky had unknowingly arrived directly above the altar.

And when the blood moon is approaching, it announces the beginning of sacrifice.

"come on!"

Facing the blood moon directly above, the man wearing the fox face mask started to cheer like crazy. With his cheers, the altar with only two people still ushered in No.3 after all. visitors.

It was Yae Sakura who was wearing the ever-spotless shrine maiden costume. At this time, she was holding the long sacrificial saber tightly in her hand, and she was walking towards Teresa in the center of the altar with the stiff part, as if she had lost her soul. Puppet in general.

"Come on, Yae Sakura, sacrifice her soul to the gods with the sword in your hand."

"Just like you treat your own sister!"

The man's words reached Yae Sakura's ears, Yae Sakura with empty eyes pulled out the long knife that was placed in the scabbard, and walked towards Teresa without hesitation.

"Sakura, wait a minute, wake up!"

Facing Yae Sakura who was gradually approaching her with a long knife in her hand, the only thing Teresa could do at the moment was to shout loudly, trying to get Yae Sakura out of the man's control.

"It's useless, little girl."

Seeing Teresa who was still trying to wake up Yae Sakura, the man just said words in a calm tone that made Teresa extremely desperate.

"She, I can't hear any sound anymore."

"No, I don't believe it!"

Not paying attention to the man's words that made her give up, Teresa just kept repeating, which might be a useless move.

"No, it's not! Sakura, wake up! You are not yourself at all!"

"Your sister...your sister will definitely hope that her sister's ending will turn out like this, don't give up! Sakura!"

Futile words are still futile after all, and Teresa's heartbreaking call finally failed to bring back Yae Sakura's sanity.Finally, Yae Sakura walked up to Teresa, staring at Teresa who had started to cry with empty eyes.Then she raised the long knife in her hand that was destined to be stained with blood, and swung it vigorously at Teresa who could not dodge at all.

"cherry!!!"

Facing the irreversible situation, Teresa could only utter a final cry, then closed her eyes, waiting for death in fear.

"give me..."

"Get away from the two of them, get out of here!!!"

The expected death did not come, nor did she feel the pain of a sharp weapon cutting her body. The only thing Teresa could feel was the voice that lingered in her ears, which she had never heard before.

In a panic, Teresa opened her eyes that were closed because of fear before, and then...

She saw the dust scattered on the altar, the blood floating in the air, the golden cross standing in front of her, and the figure with chains wrapped around her arm, which she had seen countless times in her dreams...

Chapter 40 Higokumaru, Yae Sakura, Teresa, and...'Karen'...

Judas, who symbolized guardianship, stood on the filthy altar, and the blood flying in the air splashed on the golden shell of Judas, and slowly slid down with the blood, embellishing the golden color that symbolized the sacredness. With a strong breath of killing Xiao.

The blood-stained sleeves had already been torn apart under the impact of the arrival, and the scarlet gloves were tightly wrapped around the arms, which represented the silver-white chains of restraint. The blood that spewed out was quietly dripping from the gap between the chains, and fell on the dusty ground, splashing a little dust.

Although the descendant holding a Judas was dressed in ragged clothes and covered with desolation, her azure eyes, which had not been stained by her own blood, were filled with the unique light from the depths of her soul, which seemed to be infinite. The radiant flame of color burns away the evil that hides in the shadows of the world and pollutes everything.

With the mission of inheriting for a hundred years, she tore away the obstacles that blocked her, and took this body that should have been annihilated in the long river of time, and set foot on the end of the sinful soul that engraved the owner of this body again. place.

Now, she is an envoy who abides by the oath and strives to fulfill her mission, not the one who embraces the taboo because of a mistake, wandering on the endless road of redemption as a guilty person, A young girl with ideal ideas.

She just stood here with a clear conscience, taking the responsibility of ending all hatred.

Like a judge turned into a god.

"m..."

Teresa's title, which had already come to her lips and was about to blurt out, was forcibly suppressed when the other party turned her head and looked at the pair of eyes that were completely different from what she had seen in her dream.

Teresa was scared. Although the other party did nothing wrong that could threaten her, it was the god-like glimpse of the other party that made Teresa inexplicably think of what she had seen before. Slightly similar eyes.

That gaze came from the extremely cold place, from the 'angel' who made her feel desperate and helpless.

"Theresa..."

Just when Teresa lost her mind because of fear, a soft cry containing many emotions made her find herself and escape from the nightmare created by herself

Blinking her blurred eyes hard, when Teresa opened her eyes again, what appeared in her field of vision was a hand with a scarlet glove stretching towards her, and the other party's lost edge. eyes, and... that gentle smile on the other party's face that was so familiar.

"Karen... Mom... No! You're not Kallen!"

Looking at the other party's gentle smile that hit the heart directly, Teresa, who was a little dazed by the strong tenderness, naturally called out the title that she had called countless times in her dreams.But then she seemed to realize something, her eyes were wide open, and her lips, which were a little white due to dryness, began to tremble uncontrollably.

Now, a copy of the truth is placed in front of Teresa, and there is a barrier that is so fragile that it will turn into dust when you touch it, and Teresa wants to break it. This barrier only needs to make a trivial move.

"you you you..."

The guess that had come to her mouth was unable to speak smoothly because of her trembling lips. After taking a deep breath and biting the tip of her tongue forcefully, Teresa calmed down the absurd guess she had made. Shocked to the point where his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"You are..."

"Xiaochen... right...?"

When Teresa expressed her conjecture in a trembling tone, at that moment, she even had the illusion that she was about to go crazy. She didn't understand why she would put two people who were not only in appearance, but also in gender. The same people were connected to each other, and Teresa couldn't think of any reason to explain her behavior except that she was crazy.

However, the other party's next answer gave Teresa the illusion that she was going crazy because she was looking forward to the miracle too much.

"That's right, Teresa..."

Luo Chen put down his hand stretched out to Teresa, and the smile on her face was instantly replaced by a hesitant expression, but this hesitation did not last too long, and then she took a deep breath, as if abandoning her. All the restraints on her body were as if, and the hesitant expression on her face was replaced by that almost normal smile for Teresa.

"Just like what was agreed between the two of us outside the stigmata space..."

"I'm here, as I said, I will definitely find you in this stigmata space, and then bring you out of this stigmata space intact."

"I will...will protect you."

Without saying any comforting words, Luo Chen only lowered his head slightly, and then recounted the agreement made between the two of them in a calm tone, then turned to Teresa again, and stretched out his hand.

And the uneasiness in her eyes was completely hidden by the slightly drooping white bangs.

"..."

Facing the other party's palm with scarlet gloves stretched out towards her, Teresa showed a complex look on her face without accident.And the expression on Teresa's face at this moment fell into Luo Chen's eyes, causing her to bite her lips in a little panic.

But in the end, Teresa still controlled her arm, and carefully placed her palm on the opponent's palm under the premise of ensuring that she would not touch the wound on her wrist.

"..."

Although her palm has long been unable to move freely because of the wound on her wrist, this does not mean that her palm has lost the ability to perceive things. The moment her hand touched the opponent's hand, she felt her own information on the palm of your hand.

It was moist, sticky, and somewhat warm liquid, and there was only one liquid that could meet these characteristics at the moment.

"..."

Feeling the information collected by hand, watching the reassuring smile on the other person's face, and the devastated body, all Teresa wanted to say was stuck in her throat, and then turned into tears, from her welled up in his eye sockets.

"Sorry, Teresa... for making you wait so long."

"It's really touching..."

The reunion after a long absence is short-lived after all, just when Luochen was about to help Teresa wipe away the tears on her face, Higokumaru, who was standing behind Yae Sakura, interrupted her with an extremely funny voice A move that hasn't started yet.

"Ugh..."

After hearing Feiyuwan's ridicule, Luochen's palm, which subconsciously wanted to help Theresa wipe away her tears, immediately froze in the air. After letting out a helpless sigh, she turned around and held Theresa to protect her. Behind him, he looked at Higokumaru who was standing behind Yae Sakura, holding Yae Sakura's shoulder with his hand, and who was still wearing a fox face mask until now, transformed into a god master.

"Do you hate it... that's right... You obviously didn't do anything wrong, but you were locked up for so many years for no reason... If you were anyone, you wouldn't let it go so easily..."

Standing behind Judas, Luo Chen, who was holding Judas' chain tightly with his hand, whispered to the Hiyuwan who seemed to be still in a calm state with a complicated tone.

In the eyes of ordinary people, perhaps the Feiyuwan in front of him is just a Herrscher who has a mission of destruction and is extremely sinful, but to Luo Chen who fully understands the other party's past, the Feiyuwan in front of him is just a Long darkness and loneliness, tormented to a sickly poor girl.

There is nothing wrong with Higokumaru itself, and neither are the humans who killed her.What is wrong is the inferiority of human beings. The origin of all these tragedies is human fear and arrogance.

Because of fear, human beings will kill Higokumaru who has not shown any ability, and because of arrogance, human beings will kill Higoshimaru without considering any consequences, and these are what caused this tragedy. Two essential factors.

Therefore, facing this girl whose mind has been tampered with by hatred and loneliness, Luo Chen's first thought was not how to kill her, but what method he should use to get her what she deserved. redemption.
