183 Episode 76: Rainbow on the Ethereal Dome of Dawn (2) (2/2)

There was a crazy obsession there. But I feel it has turned into something more sharp than madness. It also beats madness - the light of will.

”We wish people happiness, and we are so far apart from being able to empathize. It's just something different that I admired, maybe that's all the difference. But it's keeping us apart by the time we're hopeless”

”Lilana......”

”I can't admit an endless journey. Maybe you believe in people's possibilities. But I know how weak people are. Not everyone can stand that prayer. Maybe the world I want is closed, as you say. Compared to you, I finally decided on the form of my wish.”

”... what is your wish?

To my inquiry, Lilana grinned. With the grin of the Virgin, who included kindness like the Mother of Mercy, she uttered a wish that she could not comprehend with me by the time she was cruel.

”I'll put the world to sleep. Let us not grieve any more, that it may be death to those who live now, as you say, but let us invite everything to the shaking cage of the fine sleep of happiness so that we may not be hurt by the world that continues to move forward.”

”... really?

”Can you give up the sky?

”... I can't.”

”Yes, I can't”

Our shapes are similar as they sound so much alike, but the place across from us is the opposite.

”... for example, if people get tired of walking, can't we walk together if it's such a temporary dream that only then gives us a break?

”You are a possibility, so I guess you can say that. And I'm impossible, so I guess I can only give it back to you like this. - I'm not going to forgive the suffering of this world.”

”You can't compromise.”

”I'm not accommodating. That's what life and death are for, isn't it?

I'm the living one, and Lilana's the dead one. She laughed and distinguished our relationship.

If you live, something could change tomorrow. That's a possibility left.

If you die, you won't have to be afraid tomorrow. Such an absolute wait for me.

”I think I've killed a lot of people.”

”... Lylana?

”I found out because you were there. You're happy, and I'm happy. There's nothing I can do about that. We should let people choose. That's why what I did is a lonely wagamama, as you say.”

”Then -!”

”- No, I still don't think it's a mistake. If you continue to live and suffer, let it end. Fortunately, I will give you eternity. Even if that is a dream of unprecedented decadence, let me try to fulfill my eternal painless sleep instead of depriving myself of the possibility. That is my redemption for the lodgings that follow from my ancestors, who could only provide answers by pursuing eternity”.

”That redemption will not end! You will always be unacceptable just because there will continue to be more sins and corpses taking away the possibilities!

”Yeah, that's right. So it's nice to be forever. If someone is happily fine-sleeping just because I sin and keep making amends - I'm good with that”

”... this, I don't know!!”

If you've decided to be that ready, my words won't go through anymore. There was a chance that we could walk together, even if it was only about as likely as a grain of sand.

Lilana buried the possibility of it of her own free will. She's like a grave guard. Fill the world with grave markers and it won't end until you see death. Unable to admit raw, she increases her corpses and sins forever.

It's absurd that the end of a vampire who wanted eternal life wants death for eternity. That wish, you can throw it away. Even though there are ways to make amends, I wish the world could never end.

If you can't get that wish anymore - we can only face each other by being hostile.

”You told me to surrender.”

”... you can't beat me. It's not just the regenerative power of vampires.”

”- Did you think vampires were the only advantage of being monsters?

As Lilana waves her finger like a conductor, the residual light of light draws its tail from her finger.

And that light draws more and more light into the magic formation. I opened my eyes when I saw that magic formation spun to turn into a light sphere.

”No way, that's - heh!

”” Spirit manifestation, you were brilliant. The boulder is the ultimate in the righteous path to be reached by the wizard. We vampires have been corrupted by that measure. That is what expands the power of the demonic stones that feed the Spirit and elevates ourselves to the natural enemies of the Spirit. But it was pointless for you not to rely on the Spirit. Then let's go back to the right path. Even if that path is a path that is not a King's Road! You showed me the way too! ”Demon Stone” and ”Magic” merge!

The light sphere cracks and distorted aliens emerge from inside. A multi-headed giant serpent whose serpent is formed in a dark moya, illuminated by the moonlight but swallowing even its light.

Only the head as a snake maintains a solid contour, its eyes shaking like vampire eyes suspiciously red light like flames.

”Shall I take it from the Spirit Expression and call it the Demonic Expression? Now, let me give you a name. You are my servant, the great serpent who devours the world, whose name is Jormungand. - Swallow the hope of this world!
