“This is ridiculous!”
Cedric, who was lying on the floor, screamed. With that, he rushed in again, but was blocked by a translucent film created by the purple energy that Axion had shot at me.
“Ugh. Damn Ruben… … .”
While Cedric was gritting his teeth, I looked down at the slightly loose hem of my clothes and blinked. I have this strange feeling, as if my body’s balance and senses have changed from before.
With my children in my arms, my eyes instinctively turned to the mirror.
“… … !!”
And found it.
The face of a woman I had encountered in the past.
The startled, white woman’s eyes were Asian and light brown, and her hair was dyed ash blonde. She looks just like me right before I came here, with her black hair clearly visible after she dyed her roots.
‘oh my god… … . Am I back to my original self now?’
The shock hit my head so loudly that I forgot for a moment that I was confronting Cedric. I can’t believe his appearance suddenly changed like this. why?
When my mind started to become complicated.
Quaaaang!
“Ugh!”
The body was pushed back with a loud sound. I quickly looked in the direction where Cedric was. A large black energy, clearly summoned by Cedric, was shooting towards us.
The shock just now seemed to have come from the energy colliding with the opaque membrane created by Axion.
“Ugh… … .”
Axion, who was being held in his arms, groaned every time the membrane shook. It was clear to her that the child was being affected by Cedric’s energy.
‘It’s dangerous if it continues like this!’
I’m not sure what happened to my body right now, but I do know this one thing. Axion is going to great lengths to save me.
I hugged the children and quickly started looking for a way out.
‘Where, where should I escape?’
I can see the door I came through behind Cedric.
“Then the woman I met back then… … .”
Cedric, standing in front of the door, continued to emit black energy and mumble strange words. I don’t know what he’s talking about, but unlike before, it looks like there’s a screw missing somewhere. As if to prove it, Cedric’s eyes were blurry.
And as if unaware of us, the black energy began to hit strange places.
Axion’s groaning sound stopped.
“Then don’t let me go there… … .”
It is now. While he was mumbling to himself and unable to come to his senses, I slowly moved and circled next to him. Just a little further, a little further, was the door.
Crack!
As the door got closer, I started running, holding the children in my arms.
Just as the door was approaching, a strong shock hit my body.
Quang!
“Ugh!”
“Where…” … Are you going, Celia?”
shit. Cedric must have recovered in the meantime, and was looking at me with a clean face.
“We still have a lot left to talk about.”
Cedric grinned.
“I’m sure God is helping me. Celia was that woman. And I am the first to know it. “He must be helping me with my eternal life.”
“… … .”
I don’t know what nonsense he is talking about, but I didn’t have time to listen to him. Even if you pass through this door, the stairs will all collapse and there will be no footholds. But if you just leave the door and fall down… … If I were to somehow fall without my children in my arms, wouldn’t there be a way?
Even though I have returned to my original form, my strength seems to be the same. If you’re lucky, Dazar might be able to save you.
It seemed like there was a higher chance of saving the children this way than getting caught by Cedric here. The moment I thought that, the decision was quick.
I quickly grabbed the door handle and pushed it.
“stop!”
I heard Cedric calling me from behind and a strange sensation followed, but I pushed through the door and started falling to the floor.
I held the children tightly in my arms and curled my body into a ball. We had to make sure that there was as little shock to the children as possible.
The air I hit as I fell quickly scratched my cheek painfully. Meanwhile, I opened my eyes and looked down. Dazar. Dazar is clearly down there… … .
“ah… … ! Dazar!”
see. A man desperately flying towards me with his black hair flying. His face was wrinkled, as if the situation was truly critical.
“me! It’s me! “I’m Celia!”
Thinking he wouldn’t recognize my changed appearance, I quickly shouted. Dazar looked surprised when he saw me, but muttered something under his breath and quickly stretched out his hand.
A thread-like white energy stretched out from his hand and came towards me at high speed. It was just when Dazar and I were getting closer and white energy was about to embrace my body.
Quack!
“evil!”
Someone grabbed my body from behind. My falling body was suddenly pulled back and a huge shock hit my body. No matter how strong the body was, the shock of the sudden bending of the back was painful.
Additionally, I felt like I felt something warm in my stomach. At that time, the person who grabbed me from behind gritted his teeth and said.
“Do you think I’ll let you go like this? “Celia.”
The person who caught me was Cedric. I quickly let go of the children from my arms, my face contorted in pain. First of all, this was urgent.
“Dazar. “Accept the children!”
As long as the children were safe, my number one goal was to be accomplished.
“mama-!”
Axion fell from my arms and called to me like a scream. A hand as small as a fern desperately tried to grab me, but gravity pulled me down helplessly.
And fortunately, the children landed in Dazar’s arms. Dazar shouted while hugging the children. His face was twisted in despair.
“Heeah!”
Feeling a strange sensation in my stomach, I slowly moved my hand towards it and opened my eyes wide when I heard Dazar’s voice.
… … uh? How does Dazar know my real name? Now that I think about it, Dazar was a little surprised by my changed appearance, but he didn’t seem to suspect that I was someone else.
As if I knew who I really was.
As I was thinking about such things out of context, I heard Cedric giggling and muttering.
“If you are not willing to sacrifice your life, I have no choice. Even if it’s only half… … Because Ruben will be Ruben.”
Soon my hand reached my stomach.
I feel hot and wet. As I lowered my eyes, I saw the hem of my clothes soaked in dark red liquid. And the long protruding blade.
It was the same dagger that threatened me earlier.
Only then did I realize it. ah. I just got stabbed in the stomach.
“Heeah-! no-!!”
I’m sure Dazar isn’t far away, but why does it seem like it’s so far away? I thought with a mind that was gradually becoming distant.
In his blurred vision, he could see all kinds of white energy spewing out around Dazar. He seemed really desperate.
It was my first time seeing him look like he was about to cry, so I burst into laughter out of context.
“what. Like a fool… … .”
Please raise my child well. She muttered that to herself and slowly closed her eyes. Her whole body felt helpless. I knew this feeling well.
When I ended my life as Lee Hee-ah. That’s what she felt at that time.
“Axion… … .”
I wanted to see my child grow up well.
sorry… … .
While mumbling that, I lost my composure.
* * *
“Huh… … .”
Where is this crying coming from?
The sound of crying that is stuck in my clouded mind… … .
Could this be Axion’s cry?
Axion… … ?
“Axion!”
I opened my eyes. I see an unfamiliar ceiling.
The ceiling appears to have been roughly woven from worn-out wooden planks. I blinked a couple of times and then quickly stood up.
Ping – My mind was spinning.
“Ugh… … .”
Axion. Where is Axion?
I ignored the pain in my head and managed to open my eyes and look around.
“Axion… … ?”
Was it about five years old? I saw a little child curled up in a corner a little away from me.
Has Axion grown more in the meantime? It was a child who looked a bit taller than the age group that Axion suddenly grew up in earlier. Would you say it looks similar to vanilla?
“Sniff… … .”
The boy slightly raised his buried face in a gesture of caution, perhaps surprised by my voice.
Even in this dark place, the clearly shining golden eyes were quietly revealed.
I realized. This child was not Axion.
Fear came in along with the feeling of desperation. for a moment. Where am I now? Are the kids okay? What happened to Cedric?
“… … “Did you get caught too?”
At that time, the child suddenly asked me a question.
“Are you a transcendental person too?”
for a moment. Are you a transcendent? What does this mean? I narrowed my eyes and asked.
“Transcendent… … ?”
“no? I am a transcendent of the Siaster family. “Who are you?”
The transcendental of the Siaster family… … ?
Was there another child in the Siaster family that I didn’t know about? I blinked and looked at the child closely.
The golden eyes and fine black hair that are the symbols of the Siaster family. A pretty and beautiful face… … .
If this face becomes more mature… … .
no way… … .
“Dazar… … ?”
“uh? “Do you know me?”
A little hope welled up in the boy’s eyes, which were full of anxiety. On the other hand, my eyes would be shaking wildly.
oh my god. How on earth did this happen?
