CH 195

194. Confession (3)

It really happened in the blink of an eye. Lou looked down at his trembling hands. Both hands, which were white, were wet with blood. A bloody cutlery could be seen under his hand.

The smell of fishy blood emanated from the blade that had pierced the stomach.

An unknown woman, whom she thought had already passed, drew a knife from behind.

Lou, without even knowing a word, lost all strength from his body and collapsed on the spot. As blood began to drain through the wound, his already weak heart tightened and he suffocated. The pointy red shoes appeared in front of Lu, who had fallen to the floor after not being able to cough properly.

“kill it. Daniel Angelic.”

The woman cursed in a voice engulfed in madness. Lu thought while trembling in pain.

‘From the beginning… … Were you trying to kill Daniel? Why?’

The answer was forever unknown. From the shoulder straps that were cut off together with stabs in the stomach, the sick Kawa rolled over on the floor with a creaking sound.

Whoa!

Kawa, soaked in his master’s blood, vibrated wildly, as if expressing his anger. Kawa was a god with strong divine power, but there was nothing he could do on his own in the face of his dying master. On the contrary, the blood-soaked god loses its divine power in an instant and its light gradually begins to fade.

At that moment, a woman who had her face covered by pressing her hood down found Kawa soaked in blood.

“Why do you have this sword!”

The woman stole Kawa. Then, this time, he plunged Kawa into the chest of Lu, who was still alive.

Blood splattered and the child’s pure white clothes were stained red.

Until then, even if he had suffered a large wound that pierced his stomach, he could not die if he quickly healed it with divine power. However, this last chance to save Lu was wasted.

The woman cursed with a vicious voice, not knowing that she had killed the revered king with her own hands.

“die! Forever disappear from her side. Daniel Angelik, because no one wanted you!”

The moment the woman poured out her evil words, thunder roared from the sky. It was a loud and terrifying roar that surprised even a woman full of madness.

When she looked up, the sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, was filled with dark clouds.

– You.

The sound of the wind blowing wildly like a storm from all directions sounded strangely, as if someone was saying that. The hood was removed, revealing the face of the woman who murdered Lou under the sky.

– He killed the king himself.

Lightning flashed and the sky turned white. The sun and moon, which had been floating together, were obscured by clouds in an instant and lost their light.

A pale blue-eyed woman stood beneath it.

Deborah Zereira. It was the name of the woman who gave birth to twins and who eventually killed the king with her own hands.

Lu’s hair, which lost divine power as he died, returned to its original black color under the pouring rain. Deborah screamed over her cold body.

“No!”

But her voice did not reach the child.

Lu thought through the dimming red eyes.

‘Ah.’

Blood was dripping from his mouth, clogging his throat.

‘I am dying.’

My ears became numb as if my head was drowning in the water. It was like hearing the sound of rain and someone crying in the distance.

It felt like I was diving deeper and deeper under the stepping stone of the world.

‘like this.’

As she sank into the deep swamp, Lu muttered to himself blankly.

‘I didn’t mean to protect it this way.’

I wanted to cry, but no tears came out. The rain that had already cooled down and fell on my face, which didn’t look like my own, was flowing instead of tears.

‘I didn’t do anything.’

While Luke was surrounded by light, his twin brother, Daniel, was always going through this every day. I knew he was being discriminated against, but I didn’t know what it was. Not knowing anything, he took off Daniel’s mask without immorality.

It was only at the end that Lou could finally understand the weight of the word “survival” that Daniel used to speak quietly.

‘It was all because I was weak.’

I knew I was going to cry and cry, but I couldn’t protect my loved ones. I didn’t even know how to keep it. As a king, all he did was leave a meaningless footprint as the adults pushed him. Because he was a powerless king, Daniel lived in persecution.

Lu was so pathetic that he looked down on himself.

When he sank and sank under the black waters of death, hearing no sound and feeling no sensation, Lu had his last wish.

‘I wish I had been stronger.’

The god that stabbed its master was corrupted. Black magic stalked out from Kawa and split the world in half. Then the sun and the moon, which were attached to each other, fell, creating day and night.

‘… … If only I was a strong king.’

Misunderstanding and jealousy, lust and resentment mixed together and finally blinded people.

So the king died at the hands of the same man.

After a long time passed, the brothers met again.

It was the opposite of the previous life. Lu, who was surrounded by light, was born as the king of the demons, and Daniel, who was always buried in the shadows, was born as the king of the Elyos.

They looked like twins, but in the end they were enemies again.

“If you hadn’t changed your clothes back then, you wouldn’t have died. Because she wasn’t looking for Lou, but Daniel.”

Nathaniel said in a serious voice.

“After all, I killed you. sack.”

“… … ha. Let’s listen, let’s listen, it makes us angry. If someone you don’t know hears it, do you think they’re forced to take off their clothes?

The demon king snorted and roared. And a bright smile spread across his lips. It was proof that he was suppressing his anger.

“I chose. I was the only one who decided to change clothes with you and wear that damn mask.”

“But because of me.”

“Were you always this annoying?”

Nathaniel, who continued to insist that it was her fault, was forced to keep her mouth shut. If I had been more stubborn, I would have been really hit by one blow.

In addition to that, the demon lord Embildon continued to bruise him.

“If you are not a party, know that it is not. It’s not even dead, so it’s a riot.”

Nathaniel could not overcome the absurdity and blinked his eyes slowly. Of course, if the dead party said it was okay, there was nothing more to say. However, Nathaniel, who had a great sense of guilt for causing his brother to die, simply couldn’t accept it.

“More than that, Nathan. I have one question for you.”

“I will tell you anything.”

Nathaniel thought about giving an answer before he even asked. Faced with infinitely favorable eyes, Mbildon was silent for a moment before opening his mouth.

“I became a demon because of the grudge I was killed.”

“Huh.”

“Whatever the process, it was definitely not you who stabbed me and killed me directly.”

“Huh.”

“Then why did you become an Elyos?”

There was no answer this time, ‘yes’, which had been repeatedly coming back to me. Nathaniel had a troubled expression on his face, but did not give any answers.

Humans who are killed and killed are reborn as demons.

And a human who killed someone is reborn as an Elyos.

According to that theory, as the Demon King remembered, Nathaniel had no reason to be born as an Elyos.

“I’m just asking, after I die. Did you die yourself?”

“no.”

Nathaniel removed her tightly closed lips and answered the question.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t even have the courage to do that at the time. For God is not merciful enough to give a second chance to those who laid down their lives.”

Those who choose self-determination end with that.

Elyos and demons do not reincarnate in any form. The blessing of returning to the arms of God is not given, and the soul is destroyed and annihilated.

When Lu died at the hands of his mother, Daniel was the first to discover the horrific scene.

After realizing that she had killed her son, whom she had loved dearly, with her own hands due to a absurd misunderstanding, Deborah Zereira, who was completely insane, poured a curse on Daniel who approached him without weeping.

‘you! It’s because of you! Even if it wasn’t for you! do you know what you did This murderer!’

‘Ah. You should have died! Lou died because of your dirty pranks, Daniel Angelic-!’

It was an endless transfer of responsibility. But Daniel couldn’t deny that. Even if he hadn’t changed his clothes, even if he didn’t know the subject and didn’t dare to take Lou’s place. The corpse lying under that chilly rain would not have been Lou.

The choice that Daniel, who had lost his mind in the face of Lu’s death, came up with a simple choice.

‘suicide? Why are you doing that?’

Daniel came to his senses and did not choose suicide. Instead, he took someone else’s life.

“What I killed… … .”

Nathaniel frowned for a moment. It wasn’t because it was painful. It was because it was so disgusting that just thinking of that person made my stomach twist. Soon, Nathaniel opened her frown and smiled.

“It was Deborah Zereira.”

Seeing the old brother confessing the true sin he had committed with a smile, the Demon King was at a loss for words.

Although Deborah was an oracle-crazed woman, she was, after all, the biological mother of twins.

Of course, Daniel wasn’t the first to kill Deborah. Instead, Deborah, who had become a madman, rushed to kill Daniel and strangled him. Daniel, who was still young, could not overcome the power of an adult and was simply caught.

In the moment of suffocation and loss of consciousness, Daniel exploded the powerful divine power in his body to live.

Deborah, who was swept away by an explosion a short distance away while strangling the child, fell right onto a huge silver candlestick that had just collapsed in a raging storm.

In the direction Daniel looked up, he saw a woman who was pierced by a sacred silver candlestick and died instantly without even closing her eyes.

That was Deborah’s last.

Nathaniel didn’t even bother talking about it.

“And I was executed on the spot.”

“… execution?”

“Ugh, the fire. It was an experience I didn’t want to go through twice.”

Daniel, covered in two people’s blood, was accused of a vicious criminal who brutally murdered his brother and mother, and eventually died alive, tied to a thorn tree and burned to death. It was a tragic ending that Lu, who had died before him, could not even imagine.

Hearing this, the Demon King Embildon briefly expressed his sentiments.

“You really are a beggar.”

“Ahaha. right?”

“Do not laugh. It’s annoying.”

“Yep.”

The demon king glanced down at Natael, who had his shaggy tail down, with an annoyed expression on his face. Unlike Embildon, who was born as a demon and lived for about 300 years, Nathaniel was born shortly after birth and was much smaller than him. He was kneeling down to his knees on a topic that was already small, so it looked really small and insignificant.

“Anyway, Lou… No, Mbildon. Why am I here?”

Nathaniel spoke softly again.

“I don’t mean to ask you to forgive me. I just wanted to let you know. And now I really want you to do whatever you want. Save me, kill me, or treat me like a slave.”

“Are you saying that again?”

“If there is a reason why I was born again.”

Even looking at the tired Mbildon, Nathaniel just smiled lonely.

“It’s only for regrets.”

May you regret, regret, and finally live your whole life like a prisoner in prison. Even if the demon king said it was okay, Nathaniel could not forgive himself until the end.

Instead of interfering with that stubborn determination, Embildon pointed to the floor with a wink.

“Is it okay for a person whose name is Heavenly King to kneel so lightly?”

“Ah! I was the king.”

After a serious conversation, Nathaniel, who had forgotten, belatedly recalled his position. After thinking for a while, he shook his head.

“Well. I can’t help it. Wouldn’t it be okay because I’m only kneeling to you?

“It’s difficult for me, you idiot. Where in the world is there a heavenly king who kneels to the demon king?”

Mbildon, who spoke in a pathetic tone, suddenly stretched out his hand.

“wake up.”

Nathaniel looked up at the hand held out in front of him for a moment, not knowing what it meant. Then, after a little hesitation, Mbildon added.

“… brother.”

It was a call I really missed.

Eventually, the trust was made.

In the distant past, the brothers who were born under the oracle of “one who will become kings” reigned as kings of the two worlds, the Demon King and the Heavenly King, respectively.

Shortly thereafter, the Cheonma Peace Agreement was reconcluded.
