Chapter 75 At the Edge of Paradise (3)
“My siblingsMy siblings…”
As Specter chased after Torres to the hall, Marco stood up as if he was possessed He couldn’t take ain
“Bleeghh! Ugh…”
Marco was a responsible older brother, but he was still only 19 He was too young to watch dozens of fiends explode like water balloons
“AnnaShuLeoFinn…” Res He barely ed to stand up, but he slowly started to s had collapsed The sea of blood round slippery, and the stench of iron pricked his nose with every step he took
“Wake up! Anna! Leo!”
When he made it to the bench, he tried to shake theh they had become fiends, the children were only level 1 They couldn’t handle Specter’s venomous bloodthirst
“What do I doWhat do I do?”
Just as he was panicking, the doors of the lecture hall opened and he saw Specter walk in
“S-Specter-nim! Over here!” Marco waved frantically, and heup Did they hit their heads too hard?”
“Perhaps”
“I think we should take them to the hospital as soon as possible Because the deo back to normal then…” He blubbered Seo Jun-Ho looked down at hi like this
‘Poor kid’
Marco already knew that it was too late for his siblings to return Seo Jun-Ho understood, and he felt sorry for him
“Huh?” Marco looked up when Specter started to stroke his head Specter, a legendary Player that he had always looked up to, was stroking his hair Marco should have felt happy, but tears for, he couldn’t stop
He begged with a choked voice “PleasePlease save s” But he wasn’t stupid He knew that no fiend had ever turned back to normal “They’ve already been throay once They didn’t have h to think, they had to steal food and run away just so that they wouldn’t die”
How could such pitiful kids be fiends? They were children who cried because they couldn’t understand why they didn’t have parents He couldn’t just let them die when they had never experienced happiness Marco felt like his chest was being ripped apart from the unfairness of it all
“”
Seo Jun-Ho felt bad as he watched Marco sob He hated fiends, but these children weren’t the fiends he was thinking about
‘They did nothing wrong’
True, some of them had killed before, but that was because they had been under Torres’ control They wouldn’t even remember their victims
‘And it’s all my fault that this happened’
Seo Jun-Ho closed his eyes tightly He understood how Marco felt He truly wanted to help him, but he couldn’t because…
They were fiends
“I understand how you feel” Seo Jun-Ho said
Marco raised his head There was hope in his red, swollen eyes
“But I still can’t,” Seo Jun-Ho said in a resolute voice that shattered Marco’s hope He kne cruel it would be to give Marco hope in a situation like this
“Why not? Why can’t you? You heard what he said, they didn’t want to become fiends in the first place!” Marco protested
“Marco Do you knohy society treats fiends so badly?” Seo Jun-Ho asked
Marco couldn’t answer News and reports had always talked about the criht of theht the same
“When a person drinks des happen They either die because they can’t adjust to it, or they beco to stir
“Huh…?”
“Ow, my head Where is this place?”
“Sniff sniff… What’s that s they sahen they woke up was a hall covered in blood Just like Marco had, they started to voh!”
Marco watched them “Look, they’re just like me They’re humans”
“Yes, humans and fiends aren’t so different But…”
The childrens’ eyes turned red at the sight of blood As if attracted by a net, they started to walk toward the two
“Oppa?”
“Hyung…”
As Marco started to run toward therabbed hi? They’re o!”
“”
Seo Jun-Ho silently held onto him
A moment later, Anna approached the’s wrong with et injured?” Marco asked
“OppaI really like you, but…” She raised her hands and they started to shake violently as if she was having a nervous breakdown “WhyWhy do I want to kill you?”
“!” Marco’sHe looked up at Seo Jun-Ho, treet it now? That’s what a fiend is” Characteristically, dee Once humans drank their blood and becah they would be able to use the power of the dee to kill
‘I’m sorry’
