1 At the top of that small hill. (2/2)
The bald man shook his head and spoke out after letting out a sigh. Two of the proudest and most blessed people in the world would die here, their blood staining a nameless hill. The bald man waved his hand and the small army of people all unleashed their attacks, a rainbow of colorful energy flying towards the two people at the top of the hill.
”Seems like this is it for us.”
The violet robed man turned towards the woman at his side, a wide grin on his face. Despite the rainbow of attacks heading towards them to reap their lives, his eyes were focused solely on the woman at his side.
”Do you regret it? Ignoring my warning all those years ago and taking my hand? Had you not grabbed my hand back then, you would not end up here.”
The woman tightly squeezed his hand as she spoke, her voice almost as quiet as a whisper. This was a question that had been on her mind ever since the people of this world started hunting them, a question that haunted her and kept her awake at night.
”HAHAHA. Regret it? Even if I knew that we would end up right here, I would still choose to grab your hand. Even if you did not want me by your side, I would still grab your hand. Grabbing your hand was the best choice I have ever made, how could I ever regret it?”
In response to her words, the violet robed man only let out another loud laugh, tightly grasping her hand. Despite the cold rain and loss of blood, this hand was still as soft and warm as the day he had first grasped it. This was the one hand he would never let go off, no matter what everyone else said.
”But you are dying now because of it.”
Tears started welling up in the woman's eyes as she embraced the violet robed man. The man she loved was dying because of her, but he did not even care, he simply let out his usual loud laughter and tightly grasped her hand.
”Death is but momentary. I am certain that there will be a day where we will be reborn. And in that life too, I will grab your hand. Through time and space, through life and death, I will chase after you. I will face the whole world just so that Ican grab your hand once more!”
The man's voice turned extremely gentle as he spoke these words. He dropped the sword that he held in his right hand and used his right hand to til the woman's head upwards. As the myriad of attacks landed on their bodies, he planted a soft and gentle kiss on her lips, the last kiss they would ever share in this life.
