Chapter 25 (1/2)

“Oh my, is the cold wind blowing?”

On the way to the Black Castle, I ran into someone. A few days ago, she was the woman next to Abel. Naturally, I turned my head, pretending not to see her approaching Abel’s side, but I heard all her whispers.

“You still haven’t reconciled?”

“Shut up.”

“It’s stupid and pathetic. She’s going to get snatched?”

“…… If you say one more word, I will put you to death immediately.”

“Dear, what a personality…… Hi. Saintess?”

Ahh. As I shook my bruised shoulder, trying to figure out what their conversation meant, the woman smirked and called out her name.

“I am Kali.”

Kali? My eyes widened at the familiar name. At that time, I was so angry that I didn’t know, but now I see that the woman is the goddess Kali, who appears as a supporting role in the original. Her dark red hair and dark red eyes. She is the only female of the Apocalypse and the God of the Moon.

“I am Lian. But I’m not the saintess… ”

“Hmm, whatever. I wanted to say hello last time, but I was sad that you ran away.”

Grit, I wanted to grind my teeth, but I pretended to focus on Kali. Although she is female, she was bigger than me. I lowered my eyes involuntarily from the open chest bone, and she fixed her dark red eyes again.

I look forward to your kind cooperation. When our eyes met, Kali gave a wink. Befitting the description of irresistible temptation, regardless of age or gender, her dark red eyes are full of color even when she was the same woman as me.

I can’t believe I don’t recognize that huge presence. I guess I got really angry back then. Feeling that something that had been piling up on Abel was breaking down a bit, I involuntarily turned my head away. As our eyes met, as if he had been watching me since, the sunken pupils trembled slightly.

“……… ”

As he looked at me with longing eyes for something, I hesitated to say what to say, and then I bit my mouth tightly.

The reason why I was so angry to see him standing side by side with a woman, the reason I had not been able to let go of Abel with a clear mind until now. Even though I knew it all, I was hypocritical until the end.

It’s Abel’s fault that I couldn’t go back. You don’t have to be sorry because you’re self-employed. If I hadn’t been involved with Abel, I wouldn’t have come this far. The moment I averted my eyes first, strong stinging spread to my skin, but I did not look back at Abel till the end.

I can’t live with the brutality, and brutality on my left side, and we soon entered the dark, black castle in the distance.

“Lian needs to follow Kali! / Abel, you follow me. Dark Lord is looking for you./…… ”

“……… ”

Abel, who normally should have insisted on not going and watching over me, silently moved on his steps. Eh? Maybe Asura didn’t expect him to follow along, so all three of them widened their eyes.

Abel passed me indifferently at a slow, fast pace. In an indescribable feeling for a moment, I was frozen in place. Because I saw a decision that didn’t make any sense on the slightly bowed face. I stood there blankly until the silver hair that did not match the dark Dark Age completely disappeared.

“Saintess, won’t you come?”

“…… Ah, let’s go!”

Kali led me to a ward lined with black beds. Sheets and blankets, all black, looked more like coffins than beds.

If I stay here, even a healthy person will get sick. I made a bitter expression, and when my eyes met the large eagle sitting on the window sill next to the coffin-like but firm bed, I was terrified.

“Ahh!”

At the same time, there was a gust of whirlwind. As the gust of wind disappeared, a man with sharp eyes like an eagle appeared in the place.

“Are you the saintess? It is an honor to meet you!”

“Yes, eh?”

He shook my hand with a thrilled expression on his face, groaned and grabbed his shoulder. The ends of the brow twitch in pain.

“Ugh, sorry. Because the wings are broken.”

“I will treat you. Would you like to sit here for now?”

“Still, I have to be courteous to the saint… ack!”

You’re freaking her out! Kali mercilessly kicked him in the back shin, causing him to sit limply. Only then could I see his face up close.

Golden eyes like grains of sand in the desert, and dark blonde hair tied up high in contrast to the copper-colored skin. Transforming into an eagle. Needless to say, he was Silverwing. The tanned skin like the guardian deity of the desert country did not go well with this gloomy Dark Age.

“I’ll take a look.”

What day is today? I’ll meet all the supporting characters. Thinking of useless thoughts, I hurriedly lifted up his thin, scratchy robes with a painful moan. Beneath the disgusting red thread, a severely torn forearm and an abnormally pushed back shoulder blade are visible.

I forgot to bring a pain reliever because I was rushing out. I took a deep breath to heal the wound and patted his shoulder. Ugh, the pain of the wing bones twisting makes my teeth clench. When I let go of my arm while trying to manage my facial expression, he swings his arm, which has become healthy, rejoicing like a child.

“Oh, the pain is gone! Thank you so much, saintess!”

“Ah yes. But I’m not the saintess… ”

“Damian! The saintess is still here, what are you doing!”
