Linc's mind was currently very tangled. Like a thread entangled in a lot of thread. A little push can make this yarn tangle, and get very messy.
He didn't know why he was standing here.
He didn't know what kind of courage would allow him to fight a second-rate Hore beast with one fragile arrow in his hand.
He, didn't know why he had made such a stupid decision.
But...
"MEOW!"
Linc took the initiative to run forward.
There's nothing to be afraid of anymore.
"Your opponent is me." Linc raised his right hand that was holding the arrow, and started activating the bullet time skill.
The world turned gray.
The world suddenly became silent, only the sound of a heartbeat, and only Luna's golden eyes had a glint which still has color. Except for that, everything become very gray. Even the night in the sky covered by the dome.
NO, there is one more.
There is still one color that shimmers in this gray world. Something, which has a sinister color.
Those, are the eyes of the DEVIL.
"Wushh!!"
Sacrificed his left arm to be bitten by a big cat. Linc felt a sharp, bone-chilling sensation, accompanied by an extremely intense burning sensation.
But, he did not whimper.
Because he knew, that moaning only weakened his resolve at this time.
The more you hold on to it the better.
Because...
Linc was currently furious.
"DIE!!!"
Seals the agile movement of the cat's head. Linc pierced the big cat's right eye with a sharp arrow, and deep red blood, began to fall to the ground like a torrent of water.
"Click!"
The arrow was broken.
But, this Hore beast had not yet died.
He roared in pain.
"MEOAWWWWWW!!!"
Pulled his hand back from the cat's mouth. Linc could smell the roast from his left hand, and this made Linc smile ironically.
Sure enough, a weak arrow like that wouldn't manage to kill a second grade Hore beast with a single strike. Their skulls are too hard.
"Backup plan, RUN!"
Hugging Luna who was still frozen on the ground, and carried her in the princess's arms. Linc continued to run forward, away from the injured cat.
Seeing that Devil still prioritized taking her away with him. Luna, who had changed positions and returned to her original body, asked frantically.
"Your hand, your hand is hurt!"
Hearing Luna's words, Linc suddenly felt a pain in his left hand, and this made his a little uncomfortable.
"It's okay, it's not too painful."
Compared to the pain when both of his legs were broken into pieces, and the excruciating pain of a headache when LOVE was angry, this was nothing at all.
Which body part hasn't screamed in pain? The stabbing and burning pain in his left hand only made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Where's the gun?"
"I-I left it at Anton's place..."
Go to the right and start rushing towards the cafeteria at full speed. Linc heard the angry roar of a big cat behind him, and his back felt a little warm.
Looking back, the black flames that were only wrapped around its neck, enlarged, and waited for a while, the cat instantly had its entire limbs almost covered by the scorching black flames.
He seems very angry.
Closed her eyes and hugged Linc's clothes tightly. Luna heard Linc's heartbeat screaming in pain, and she became very scared.
This is different from the story she make.
When a knight saves a princess from a horde of criminals, the princess will stare at her knight in awe.
Really?
Blood splattered, screams of pain from the victim's wide open mouth, roars filled with anger, fear of death.
.... Did she not see it?
Why doesn't she see all these cruel things?
That's not cool...
...Really very uncool.
Now Luna knew why all her older sisters were looking at her with strange looks. The real world is not like a fairy tale that she make.
This was not the story she wanted.
She didn't want a story like this.
She...
"Don't afraid, I'm here."
Luna's heartbeat slowed, and she suddenly found a flower-patterned mask falling down, covering her entire face.
Has frozen fingers, and slightly twitches. Luna held it with both hands, and she held the mask tightly.
Luna leaned her ear against Linc's chest quietly.
"[Ding! +1000]"
"[Ding! +1000]"
"[Ding! +1000]"
"[Ding! +1000]"
"[Ding! +1000]"
....
It would be a lie if she said she wasn't afraid. She would be lying if she said she wasn't worried at all.
She felt strange.
She didn't know what kind of feeling was rising from the bottom of her heart at this moment. It tasted very sour, and felt very congested.
But, it is also sweet.
Full of warmth like after drinking a cup of warm honey tea.
It feels like...
Very comfortable...
Beneath the white mask Luna was wearing, she squinted comfortably, and enjoyed the rhythm of the heartbeat music that resonated with her heart.
She wasn't afraid anymore.
Because she knew, there was someone who wanted to protect him.
Even though it felt very comfortable right now, she didn't want to fall asleep.
This is weird....
A slight smile appeared on Luna's cute face.
The storybooks she always held onto, the hopes, and dreams she always wanted to see in the real world. Fell to the ground, in a very slow motion.
Each page of the book, opened one by one, tells the story of Luna's journey from the moment she left the lighthouse, until she met Linc, her demon knight.
The book turned the pages of the paper one by one, as if reminiscing about the memory of the past, the times when its holder depended on it so much.
"MEONG!!!"
With a burst of fire, the book instantly caught fire under the darkness of the night.
Perhaps, this is the end.
However, neither is it.
Because...
She will continue her story, elsewhere.
The last page of the book was a blank white page, which had no scribbles at all.
Goodbye sleeping princess.
It's time for you to wake up.
.....
Elsewhere, full of tiny flowers like in a greenhouse, with a warm and cozy light all around. All "Luna" opened their eyes in unison.
"She woke up."
"The sleeping princess is awake."
They clapped, celebrating.
...
Continued to dash forward while dodging some of the fierce fire breaths that the fire cat gave off behind him. A pillar of fire approached him quickly, and Linc instantly activated his ability talent.
When the flames reached his body, the pillar of fire instantly disappeared due to lack of energy Hore.
Linc was in the middle of exhaustion.
"Damn it, why didn't I think of sucking his Hore energy dry from the start? I missed an important opportunity!"
"MEONG!!!!!"
Saw the one-eyed black fire cat screaming at the sky full of fury. Linc saw the flames around his body, and he shook his head helplessly.
"Forget it. If I did that now, my whole body would be charred in seconds."
The only recourse now was the electron gun that Linc had left with Luna at that time. And the location of the gun is in the cafeteria, the middle area of the amusement park.
Sure enough, the brain is needed more than muscle strength. If he didn't leave the electron gun to Luna, if he used his ability and absorbed all of the Hore energy within the demon cat's body, he wouldn't need a detour like this.
"Luna, are you okay?"
"Hmm~"
"...."
Saw Luna snuggled into his arms tightly, hiding her face. Linc's gaze continued to focus ahead, and he continued to run.
"Forget it, it's all my fault."
Everyone can make mistakes.
Although many researchers regard him as a god, his current body is still that of an ordinary human who is very fragile and has many flaws.
Making mistakes is normal.
Looking at the cafeteria within his vision with the help of the dim earth light. Linc opened his mouth wide behind the mask.
"ANTON! I need the gun that Luna left in 5 seconds! Or not, we will die together!"
Anton, who foretold an impending disaster and decided to hide in the cellar, shuddered when he heard this, and he immediately dashed upwards at full speed, with maximum strength.
Devil is still the devil.
They will keep dragging other people to hell with them, like it or not.
He has no compassion at all.
