Chapter 15 Reality Is Not a Fairy Tale
Camilla turned around and covered her mouth. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info She couldn't take it anymore, she just felt a complex and indescribable emotion surging in her chest.
Blame Lilith for hiding the truth? This vicious woman almost wanted to kill them all!
But as she asked, when she was in the same situation, would she choose to say all of this, and would she be able to choose death calmly?
Camilla suddenly felt a little scared.
If you are in Lilith's situation, how will you look at yourself when you tell the truth?
Will you treat yourself well, or will you abandon her?
Looking back at the crowd with their heads bowed in silence, this kind girl only felt extremely depressed.
She found that she really couldn't answer the question, and she didn't even dare to think about it.
In fact, who would dare to consider such a question? Among the people present, apart from Ian and Adolf, the youngest such as Carmilla was only seventeen years old, and the eldest such as Cassius was only twenty years old, and who would have thought about death at such an age, when they still had a lot of youth to squander?
Not to mention that Lilith is facing far more than just death.
I think I'm still alive, but in fact I'm already dead, and I'm constantly killing everyone around me. Wandering between life and death at all times, such despair and pain may be even more than death itself.
"Black. β
Camilla raised her head, even though she knew that Ian would definitely not have the slightest choice, but she still asked with a small expectation: "Is there really no way to save her?
"Don't you hate her?" Looking at the girl's expectant eyes, Ian was really reluctant to say the answer that everyone knew directly: "It is because of her that you are besieged by demons and so many companions have died." β
"I don't know, I really don't" Camilla shook her head.
"I want to hate, but suddenly I can't hate......" After a pause, the girl suddenly denied it: "No, it's better to say, I hope I can save her." There have been so many people who have died, and I don't want to see anyone die again. β
"But, she's dead......"
"But is there really nothing that can be done at all?"
"Camilla, everyone wants everything in reality to have a happy ending like a fairy tale, but reality is not a fairy tale. Outside the circle is not a fairytale world that we can fantasize about. β
After a pause, Ian, who felt that he was a bastard, finally said even more cruel words: "It's not so much to save her, but to save you, I'm afraid I'm going to take away her fake life, which is already running out." β
"How...... It can be ...... like this."
The teenager, unable to answer the rhetorical question, remained silent.
Although I only realized this reality a year ago. But compared to these teenagers and girls who can be counted with five fingers and are accompanied by mentors every time, Ian, who has fought countless times outside the circle, seems to be a person who has come over.
However, it was precisely because of this that he realized how cruel what he had just said was to the flowers in the greenhouse.
After sighing, Ian, who was deeply disgusted with himself, slowly walked past the girl who was standing and came to Lilith, who was lying on her back, and he had to complete his most important task here.
At this moment, no one except Ian knew how much physical strength he had expended in order to rush over as soon as possible, and no one knew that the large group of demons that were originally in the Longmian Valley were surging in this direction like the sea.
With a little calculation, Ian knew that there was almost a moment left before everyone could see the demon.
Time was running out, and he had to cut off the source and let everyone leave as soon as possible.
In fact, he could have solved all this more quickly, and there was no need to explain anything at all. However, Ian, who has never killed anyone and has always valued life above all else, finds himself unable to do anything when confronted by the dead girl.
He really missed Fei'er so much at this time. Because when he first encountered this kind of demon, it was Fei'er who finally made the move in the face of the dead who were struggling to survive.
She struck the man beautifully......
But now, there is no better candidate than myself.
"Your name is Lilith, isn't it?" the young man reluctantly gripped the hilt of his sword, and the hand hidden in his sleeve trembled slightly.
"You're going to kill me, aren't you, Lord Swordmaster?" Lilith smiled faintly as she looked up at the black figure looking down at her.
"I'm sorry. Ian, who didn't have the heart to care about the other party's name, gritted his teeth, feeling that the words he spit out were too stiff, and he slowly drew the long sword at his waist, and pointed the tip of the sword upside down at the heart of the blonde girl, which was where the parasite was.
"Do you have any last wishes? I'm just a powerless mortal, but if it's within my power, I can do it for you. β
"Don't, please don't, black. Camilla's crying voice came from behind, and no one but Lilith could see Ian, who was facing away from the crowd, his right hand shaking with his sword upside down.
"I don't have any other wishes than to live. Lilith, who could see that Ian's heart was shaken, said in a tone as if she were joking, but Ian knew it was really not a joke.
He smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I'm not as gentle as Camilla, but this alone really can't be done." β
"I know. Lilith smiled, "However, there is one thing you said wrong, Lord Sword. β
"You're gentle, you're as gentle as Camilla. No, you should say that you are gentler than that child. β
Ian, who could no longer look directly at the girl, tilted his head slightly: "Is there really no other wish?"
"Well, let me think about it. Lilith smiled with tears in her eyes, "Well, can I die completely, although I am afraid that I will be torn apart by the demons after that, but at least at the moment of death, I want my body to be intact." β
"Understood!" Ian nodded, responding as if under oath.
He slowly closed his eyes, not wanting to see the girl's expression before she died, but the consciousness hanging high in the air still allowed him to clearly see the blonde girl's face faintly showing unwillingness and nostalgia, but smiling with tears.
Raising his sword slightly, Ian stabbed as fast as he could, after hesitating for a long time.
The blade pierced the heart and plunged deep into the rock, and the blonde girl's chest suddenly let out a strange "squeak" scream, and countless tentacles pierced through and struggled incessantly.
Ian held the hilt of his sword and watched coldly as the culprit who had caused all the misfortune slowly fell silent in the screams and madness, losing all breath of life.
But he still couldn't get rid of his hatred.
Half-kneeling on the ground, holding the hilt of his sword, he only felt as if an angry beast was roaring in the depths of his soul, roaring and trying to break free from the restraints and rush out of his body!
He didn't want to turn around, but his consciousness hanging high in the air saw the figures of the people behind him very clearly.
Camilla was already on her knees.
Seran and the others sat or stood still.
These children, who have lived in a fairy tale world since childhood, may be the first time they have seen the cruelty of the real world.
Do you think that after coming out of the circle a few times within a limited range, you really know what the real world is like?
It's naΓ―ve.
Children living in fairy tales are eager to see the real world.
But there is a price to be paid for snooping into the truth, and this price is far from being able to bear it.
......
There was a slight tremor under his feet, and Ian knew that the demons were coming.
He drew his sword, closed the dead girl's eyes with his left hand, turned to look at Adolf, and asked in a hoarse voice, "You are their mentor, aren't you?"
Adolf sighed, "Yes, Lord Swordmaster. β
"The demons are coming, take them and run south!"
"What?" Adolf, who reacted immediately, hurriedly shouted: "Quick, everyone get up, the demons are about to rush over, everyone immediately gets up and walks south." β
The boys and girls hurriedly got up in their hesitation, everything that happened today was so crazy that they still hadn't come to their senses, just stared blankly at the black figure in the field.
Seeing that everyone got up but did not run away immediately, but looked at him frequently, Ian frowned and said: "Let's go now! The source has been broken, and those demons will only chase here, as long as you can take advantage of them to run out of their field of sight before they get here, then you will be truly safe." β
"Black" Camilla walked forward quickly: "Won't you come with us?"
"Me?" Ian turned to look north, where the black-red tide of the demons had spread, "I'll have to stay here for a while." β
"Let's go, Camilla!" Adolf grabbed the girl's hand and dragged her south, "Your Excellency the Sword Master wants to delay the escape for us!"
Seeing that she was being dragged by Teacher Adolf, getting farther and farther away from the black back, Camilla turned around and shouted.
"Black, I hate you!"
"But, don't die!"
Hearing the girl's shout from behind, Ian smiled bitterly and responded, "Of course, who do you think I am?"
This is a sentence that should be full of complacency. However, at this time, no matter who you are, you can hear the strong self-deprecation contained in this sentence.
Watching the trial team fade away from his consciousness from above, Ian slowly pulled out the last special stamina-restoring potion in his waist bag, bit the cork, raised his head, and poured it down.
