chapter 107
Sardin Lundell spoke slyly with a fishy smile on his lips.
“What are you talking about?”
Frey glared at him, exhaling vicious death.
“Don’t be shy. The sending of the note and the arrangement of this sparring are all you! What the hell have you done to him! Why is Liddell, who admitted defeat, swinging his sword at me!”
“This is funny. why are you asking me that? Only Liddell would know that Liddell swung the sword. But isn’t he already dead? in your hands.”
“… … Didn’t you see it too?”
“I think you want to blame me for the guilt of killing a person… Haven’t you thought about how unfair it would be for the person concerned to accuse a person of being a criminal without evidence?”
“… … .”
All circumstances pointed to him, but there was no solid evidence as he said.
Frey quickly racked his brain about how to deal with this situation.
But is it because of the guilt of killing a classmate? No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an idea.
──It was then.
Suddenly, Sardin Rundel bursts into madness like a madman.
“hahahaha!!”
Frey glared at him and said.
“What’s so interesting about it?”
Sardine burst into laughter and said while wiping the tears from her eyes.
“Looking at your expression, how can it not be fun! I can hear the sound of my head rolling from here. Frey Caligo. Are you crazy about this situation? Are you wondering why this only happens to you? If so, I will tell you why.”
The corner of his mouth caught on his ear. creepy smile.
It was a face of primordial malice.
“Because you and your father are cumbersome. I couldn’t stand it because it was disgusting to see him ignorant of the topic. I mean, I couldn’t stand the sight of a lowly count’s family, as a sword master and holding his head upright!!!!”
His words continued.
“Then why are you so rude without even realizing it? Why are you flirting in front of my eyes? If I had just quietly lived in a corner, this wouldn’t have happened. Songchungi should live on pine needles, but if it eats reed leaves, it will die. If you live in a way that doesn’t fit, you will die. That’s why your father will also die.”
Frey murmured with a bewildered face.
“What is that… … .”
Seeing that face, Sardin felt an indescribable pleasure.
“Did you ask if it was I who orchestrated all this? yes, that’s right You saw it very accurately. grow. I put you in this situation. I crippled your father. Everything written on the note is true. The count’s servant whom you trusted so much poisoned your father’s food.”
“lie… … . It can’t be… . I can’t… … .”
“Maid Layla.”
Her eyes slowly widened.
“Isn’t that a name you’ve heard a lot? She is the culprit who poisoned your father’s food! It’s all done by me! What do you think will happen if you inject demonic energy into the body of a sword master who has carved mana into his heart for a lifetime? Ha ha ha ha ha ha! It will be just like your father. Are you feeling a little better now? stupid thing. A fool who doesn’t even know why his father is dying and is just fooling around.”
“Then this is how our family came to be… … .”
“okay! All I did! I intentionally spread rumors about your family and cut off your financial lines. The food the family head eats is poisoned, and an altar is set up for the demon worshipers in the basement of the mansion where you are staying.”
He said, smacking his lips as if looking at a tempting prey.
“To turn the Caligo county into a group of demon worshipers.”
Explosive magic emanated from Frey’s body, who lost his reason.
She drew her sword and charged at Sardine.
“───── Sadie in Lundeiel!!!!”
incredible momentum.
The rusty blade of the sword turned gold.
Sardine frowned at the eardrum-shattering cry.
“The Curse of Grief.”
The magic that bloomed from Sardine’s hands permeated Frey’s whole body. Frey, exhausted, let go of the sword.
And then he sat down on the floor.
Still, she didn’t stop and crawled towards Sardin.
Arms stretched out, legs stretched out, and continued onward.
In her eyes, only the blind will to kill him was engraved.
Sardin laughed at her like that.
“Poop! Puck! Are you crawling on all fours now? There is no such thing as a complete beast. But isn’t this the time when you’re burning hostility toward me?”
“… … porridge… person… all… .”
“Hmm. It should have arrived by now. Killers who will kill your father and family.”
Despite being cursed and weakened, Frey, who continued to crawl with transcendent mental power, suddenly stopped. She lifted her head and looked at Sardine.
“… … lie… You mean?”
Now, in her eyes, there was more desperation than hatred.
Satan brought his face close to her and smiled broadly.
“Is it a lie? oops. big. Puch. Ha ha ha ha——! it’s all real Your father, family members, and everyone in Count Caligo’s family will all die. do you want to save them? Do you want all of this to be a lie? But what about You are already here.”
Black demonic energy rose from Sardine’s hand and headed towards Liddell’s corpse.
Kwajik!
A terrible sound echoed, and Liddell’s corpse turned black.
“If you go right now, it might not be too late. But is that possible?”
Frey, who had been breathing heavily, began to stand up slowly.
“this… f*ck… uh porridge… female… cool too… alright bird… Meal… … .”
Raise one leg first, then the other leg.
He supported himself with his arms and lifted his upper body.
She managed to stand still, but red blood flowed from her eyes, where the thread veins were bursting.
“Hoo. I thought I would endure it and wake up. okay. I will admit one of your mental strength.”
——After that, the Heretic Questioners came as if they had been waiting.
They moved in perfect order, as if they had been prepared from the beginning. Approaching Liddell’s corpse, he identified Magi, and immediately bound Frey.
Due to Sardine Lundell’s curse, he discovered the magic in her body and restrained her.
All of this was like a concocted script.
“Fray Caligo! In the name of the Lord Raphael, I redeem you.”
Her arms and legs were restrained, and her mouth was gagged. Then he took her and went somewhere.
Sadin, looking at him, had a satisfied smile.
* * *
“Zile… … Why are you screaming all of a sudden?”
I looked to the side and there was Frey. She looked at me with a worried face.
A red moon floating in the sky.
Benches near the gymnasium.
It was the day I danced sword dance with Frey.
I’m back.
come back. A thousand fires boiled inside. The desire to go to Sadin right now and tear his whole body to shreds was like a chimney.
However, that shouldn’t be the case.
It shouldn’t be killed so easily.
Unknowingly, the power of the grip entered. However, he smiled as naturally as possible without showing it.
“I had a bad dream for a while.”
She looked at him in disbelief, then smiled mischievously.
“It’s a dream… … ? Hey, are you kidding me again? I just finished my sword dance and was resting. How can I dream in such a short time!”
“hahahaha… … . Iknow, right.”
It was a f*cking dream.
And that dream was to become a reality tomorrow.
“Do not worry! They say dreams are opposites, right?”
Does she know what I was dreaming about?
Do you know what the future holds for you?
If you knew that, you wouldn’t be able to smile as brightly as you do now.
In the memories Asmodeus showed her, all that remained on her face were pain, despair, screams, and earnestness.
“I want to change.”
She tilted her head.
“What? Are you talking about a dream?”
Instead of answering, I nodded.
As a result of using the authority, the hallucinations that had been quiet recently began to be heard again.

different voices.
The old man, the child, the woman’s, and the man’s were all different types, but they had one thing in common.
That everyone is mocking me.
That everyone is taking my failures for granted.
However, I already have a track record of turning the impossible into the possible.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid.
okay. To be honest, I’m afraid.
How many more regressions will I have to go through this time, and whether my mind will collapse before that?
I wonder if I can never go back to the world I used to live in.
I wonder if I will witness her death with my own two eyes again.
In fact, among the options, there is a way to alleviate this situation without having to regress.
Simple.
It’s okay if you don’t save her.
Will she be the person I absolutely need to survive in this world?
Maybe not. Rather, it may be a hindrance.
Originally, according to the flow of this world, she is one of the biggest walls that stand in my way.
──But not anymore.
In this world I have changed, she is the person I need.
I want to save her because I need her.
There is no more or less reason than that.
That’s enough.
“To be honest, I don’t know what Geil is talking about. But whatever it is, I’m sure Zeil can pull it off. I don’t understand what I’m saying, but… … The Xiles I’ve seen so far have always made the impossible possible. So, won’t we do well in the future?”
Is it the effect of hallucinations? Is it because the mind is unstable?
I heard her words, this time, be sure to save yourself.
“I think so too. because it always has been It will be the same this time.”
morning that day.
I headed to Count Caligo alone.
