Chapter 229: Ashes (4)
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“……”The night deepened.
Leaving the groans of the soldiers who were suffering from the aftereffects of the battle behind, the detached unit secretly left the camp and carefully stepped through the accumulated snow with a rather solemn expression.
The fatigue that was plaguing their body was overwhelmed by the tension that lingered throughout their body, giving all of them the illusion that they were in a more comfortable state than ever.
The countless distracting thoughts that appeared like flashes of light were also covered by the silent snowstorm, leaving them only hearing white noise lingering around.
Step-!!
At that moment, Ferzen, who walked in front of them, turned and opened his mouth while holding onto the hem of his robe that was fluttering because of the snowstorm.
“Do you all think that you're disposable?”
“No, Count.”
“You don’t have to deny it. The meaning might not be the same, but in a similar sense, it can be said that you guys are disposable cards.”
“……”
“If I want this group to consist of only the very best, 80% of the people here will have to be replaced.”
However, the group was not formed in that way.
It was formed with a political move in mind,
As well as prioritizing the inclusion of commoners.
Due to those childish interests, 80% of the detached unit was not the very best personnel but the next best option.
Of course, there was no problem with carrying out the operation as it was.
After all, the difference between the very best and the next best option was simply a matter of probability of success.
In the first place, if the submitted name was so full of self-interest to the extent that it would interfere with performance, it would not have been accepted.
And those who were selected knew that fact even better than anyone.
However……
For human beings, the title of the very best was always just a subjective belief, so objective clarity could not be achieved.
Sometimes, there were people who succeeded in things that seemed impossible.
The choice that they made was often nothing more than having a handshake with someone, but in the end, it turned out to be the best choice.
“So I hope you don’t doubt yourself too much.”
“……”
“I just want you to remember that, just as I protected you on the battlefield.”
“……”
“I just hope that I protect will protect the Empire this time.”
“Count……”
His words were spoken quietly. However, it still broke through the harsh snowstorm and settled in the hearts of the listeners like a warm bonfire.
“History is nothing more than a written form of the stories that have been told. So…… Let me tell you this; This moment that you and I just shared was without a doubt the best choice.”
“I understand!”
As Ferzen walked out first through the driving snowstorm, the detached unit’s members followed him step by step, as if their doubt slowly disappeared.
“……”
However, Lizzy, the only red-haired woman with a black heart inside, just sported a cold expression that showed no emotion at all to his words.
*****
Because the assigned knights ran with elemental wizards and the warlocks in their arms.
It didn't take that long for the group to reach their primary destination.
The current time was around 1 in the morning.
Even though they were covered in thick robes, blood was still drained from their faces due to snow that hit their faces because of the snowstorm that had become even stronger.
Whoosh-!!
The numerous cliffs in the vast snowy field looked like candlesticks on a cake to their eyes, but because they were so numerous, they created a maze-like scene.
“……Even though I can’t say it is as expected, they really had camped here.”
“I guess so.”
If someone was to penetrate this area, they would be able to attack their rear and any rear troops that were on a supply run.
The enemies also knew that, so they must have made a deal with the Underworld and borrowed the monster’s ability to set up a trap in the form of camps.
Although it was a trap, it was not something that could be avoided even if one knew where it was laid.
There was no other way than to activate it or to summon a higher-level monster and destroy it by force.
In a sense, whichever means they took,
The enemy would know that they were there.
“Are you sure you will be fine?”
“You are worried for no reason. It’s something that has to be done anyway, so try not to get caught up in personal sentiments.”
"I understand."
One member of the detachment who looked worried at Ferzen's words took a silent bow and then returned to his original position and began making full preparations with his other colleagues.
When the preparations were finally over, the detached unit, except for Lizzy, said goodbye to Ferzen with the utmost courtesy they could show.
Their role was to cross the snowy plain without being noticed and arrive at the final destination, the Rubelta River, while Ferzen was dismantling the trap and drawing attention.
In the process, they might be caught up in the aftermath of the camp or they wouldn’t be able to leave a great distance between them and their pursuer, assuming the enemy arrived faster than expected.
“……”
Before long, as if being swallowed by the snowstorm, the detachment that had gradually increased the distance between them and Ferzen, disappeared. At that moment, he quietly looked around.
It was a place where the only thing that existed was the snow that had painted the world white as well as the dark night sky that acted as its counterpoint.
Step-!!
After turning his head in order to look at Lizzy, who was the only one left by his side, Ferzen slowly walked forward.
She was left here alone. Yet there was not a single member of the detached unit who questioned his decision.
After all, for a girl who could not even walk properly, joining the main unit and moving around was a huge risk in itself.
Even if there might be people who questioned why she was picked in the first place...…
There was no one foolish enough not to guess the reason, at least on the surface.
However, they might just believe that the reason that they thought about was all to it.
Step-!!
Lizzy looked down at Ferzen's toes as soon as he stopped in front of her before raising her head to take his appearance with her unique purple eyes and opening her mouth.
“There are only the two of us left.”
"Right. There are only the two of us left.”
The hem of Lizzy's robe flutters violently because of the snowstorm.
Then, a long thread extended from within it to create a plush toy that looked the same as Ferzen using his semen that was staying in her womb as a medium.
Was the reason why he didn't even twitch an eyebrow as the spectacle took place was that his facial muscles had stiffened because of the bitter cold,
Or was he just trying his hardest to maintain a calm appearance?
Curious about his intention, Lizzy smiled coquettishly as she gently hugged a plush doll that looked exactly like Ferzen.
“Isn’t it fascinating?”
“What is?”
“Other bodily fluids cannot be used as a medium, but semen is the only one that can be used as a medium.”
“……”
“On the other hand, it means that it didn’t get planted in my uterus, so for you, it could be said to be a blessing in disguise.”
“That might be so.”
Lizzy let out a pure white breath from her mouth while thinking that his ability to remain calm until the end in this situation was nothing but surprising.
Was it possible that the reason he felt more at ease was because the target of the Voodoo Doll was not Yuriel?
If it’s not that, was he willing to put up with his obsessive-compulsive disorder and decide to kill her right here?
‘……’
Yes, if he had made the decision to try to kill her,
Lizzy was ready to meet a cold death here.
After all, it's been 24 years since back then. No, it's been 25 years since another year had already passed.
During that long period of time, he was unable to overcome his obsessive-compulsive disorder and was doing all kinds of stuff in front of her.
So he must be struggling and his body was already at its end.
Ferzen would soon get consumed by his own obsessive-compulsive disorder and end up taking her life.
As long as there was someone who followed the truth.
It was said that there would be a day when justice was served.
However, if there was no one to follow the truth.
In a world of beasts where justice would not be served, that would be impossible.
Therefore, the only person who could kill the evil called Ferzen was only Ferzen himself.
Rustle-!!
“……Even though we have come this far, you still want to show that boring and disgusting hypocrisy?”
Lizzy smiled as she looked at Ferzen, who kindly stretched his hands and took her into his arms.
“You don’t have much time, do you? If you’re going to kill me, you better do it quickly.”
“……”
“How much longer can you endure that obsessive-compulsive disorder that has bound you for 25 years even though it tried to bite you, I wonder? It wouldn’t be bad to go to the Underworld first and make a bet with my brothers there.”
Ferzen, who was walking through the snow field while listening to the bitter sarcasm that did not suit her weak voice, soon stopped in front of the snow field where the enemy's camps were located.
“Lizzy.”
“……”
“Do you know the origin story of the bedside companion?”
The literal meaning of the words was a wife who whispered her desires to her husband in bed. But in practice, it's a woman who offered her body to a man in order to get what she wanted.
And of course, the origin that Ferzen was about to tell Lizzy was the latter, not the former.
“I’m not interested in trivial stories.”
“There was a woman called Marie El Roine. She was a warlock. And just like you, she made a deal with the Cursed Doll.”
“……”
“And she was probably the only person who could make the plush dolls created through the Cursed Doll almost identical to her target.”
Flinch-!!
Since he even knew about the fact that the woman was someone who could create an almost perfect copy plush doll as well as the fact that she was the origin of the word Bedside Companion,
There was no doubt that Ferzen also knew about the fact that a man's semen could also be used as a medium.
If so, it would mean that he had prepared for this moment as he already knew about her intentions.
“Is that so?”
However, Lizzy acted calmly and briefly answered his words.
Even if Ferzen knew of her intentions.
The moment he ejaculated inside her vagina, he had no choice but to cut her uterus on the spot if he didn’t want to be controlled by her.
“……”
But when she raised her head to look at his face, why did his red eyes look so calm?
Step-!!
As soon as Ferzen walked once again, Lizzy trembled slightly.
After all, entering an area full of enemy traps without any defenses was nothing but suicide.
Lizzy quickly came to her senses as she believed that he, who had prepared for this event with a clear understanding of her intentions, would not have drawn a picture of committing suicide together with her.
After all, she thought that he would do what he had planned in this situation which seemed like a reckless act of suicide.
Step-!!
However, Ferzen took no action as he walked while holding her in his arms.
Step-!!
Literally,
He just walked slowly through the snow-covered field.
“……”
The enemy camps that were activated in the process did not dare to exert even their slightest influence on the being called Ferzen.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four……
As they moved forward, the number of camps that were activated increased.
However, the person who actually activated them just ignored all the rules written in the camp and embraced her while calmly going through the snowstorm.
No, he was not exactly ignoring it.
Even though they knew he deceived it,
Like a kind of entertainment where you can win if you choose to lose.
It was as if the activated camps were trying to force themselves to not recognize the existence of /genesisforsaken
