Chapter 4.2
He’s slowly losing consciousness, but I have to keep talking to Atlas, who was still smiling and gently laughing with blood .
With all these happening, I almost thought I’m in a nightmare .
However, with the smell of blood lingering in the air, the scene with Atlas in front of me, and the pain in my body which gradually grows intense by the second, wakes me up and slaps me that this is indeed reality . This isn’t the novel anymore .
To me, with a stunned figure, to Atlas’ body, slowly losing blood and staining his clothes crimson and brown, I can faintly discern a voice that is slowly being drowned and interrupted in the background .
Atlas is slowly looking lifeless .
And I clearly understand that at if this happens, this will greatly impact the story flow .
“No . . No . . Atlas please . . ”
If Atlas dies, Gil-sama will be the hero—but the hero may no longer be the hero .
I wonder if I have to give up everything now .
Ah, I wonder why I’m so powerless even though I’m the Fire Countess .
The mana that was overflowing before was now depleted that I can’t even call for help . I couldn’t even protect one life, and as his father’s niece, I couldn’t even do anything but be frustrated about the situation .
Don’t die . Don’t die . I can’t allow you to die here .
With his earth colored eyes that are cloudy and starting to dull, Atlas looked at the flame pillars around us, and with a grin, he whispered silently .
“I’ll heal myself with water magic . Run away while the barriers you set up are still active . ”
So I should run away before more enemies come .
Of course it’s a lie .
You can’t even use magic at this state .
It’s difficult enough for trained sorcerers to use magic in the same state as him, what more if he uses it?
“No . No . I can’t, we have to go together, okay?”
“ . . I’ll . . catch up later . ”
While I know it’s not possible, my mind continued to make senseless thoughts .
If someone else were to hear it, if someone else wanted to live, they would run away at once without looking back and leave Atlas behind .
But .
Atlas’ eyes are slowly becoming dull, trying to apologize, trying to tell me something, telling me to run away quickly before it’s too late . So I took a parcel from my pocket, it dropped to the ground as my hands are trembling pitifully and weakly .
His hands . His hands are slowly losing warmth .
“Once we escape, I will properly invite you…to . . ”
His blood won’t stop spilling .
His breathes are getting weaker .
His body is slowly becoming cold .
His eyes are slowly becoming dull .
His voice is slowly disappearing .
Aah . This isn’t good . Not good at all .
I can’t do anything after all .
Once I let go his hand, Atlas’ arm fell limply to the ground .
It seems like he has finally lost consciousness . His voice of praise or scorn is no longer heard .
The moon appears solemn and surreal amidst the flames and blaze surrounding us, and the night sky looks as if it’s swaying with the blaze, as if seeking help from someone to dowse these flames .
It’s as beautiful as a dream .
“Ahh . . I messed up . ”

Yes .
I’m living life as if it were a dream .
I couldn’t get out of my bed because of my illness . I just stared out the window, waiting and hoping for someone to visit me . Not doing anything nor destroying anything . I wasn’t needed by anyone nor wanted by anyone . I just lived as if I was dead .
To be reborn in a world that I had only dreamed of .
To be reborn with a healthy body and live with my beloved character .
Even though there are painful memories, I felt the joy of living freely and looking forward to tomorrow .
But right now, it seems like Gil-sama will no longer be able to be the hero in this story .
One day, the people who sacrificed their lives to protect the country, to protect the sorcerers, to protect the world, will disappear from the stage .
What is justice without injustice .
