In the end, Dietrich couldn’t kill me.
Of course.
Because of his nature, it turned out like this. It wasn’t surprising.
I took out the ‘Ring of Fire’ from my pocket.
I had borrowed it while Noah was asleep.
“Dietrich!”
The undead called his name as if they were really his friends.
When they made eye contact with me, their faces twisted.
“Dietrich! That’s an undead!”
Ridiculous.
Dietrich ignored their cries, as I expected.
I mocked the undead as I slipped the ring onto my finger.
“Don’t be fooled! Hurry and kill her.”
I wanted to go through all the procedures.
I wanted to find the diary and resolve Dietrich’s condition, but now he had declared he wouldn’t look for the diary anymore.
He even prepared this ridiculous last supper for me, so it was clear.
“Dietrich! If you won’t kill her, we will.”
The undead glared at me with fierce eyes.
“Who said you could kill me.”
I’ll be the one to end this.
Click.
The ring turned.
As I aimed the ring at the undead, a fierce flame burst out, engulfing them.
“Aaaah!”
The undead’s screams echoed throughout the mansion.
But they didn’t die in the flames.
This is why Noah didn’t want to give me the ring.
Burning them is useless.
Whoosh!
Dietrich, who had rushed over, grabbed my arm.
“What have you done!”
“Can’t you see?”
“Damn it, we have to put out the fire…”
As if he really intended to save the undead, he moved quickly, and this time, I grabbed his arm.
“Get a grip. Look closely at who the real undead is.”
Dietrich stared at the burning undead with trembling eyes. The sight of the melting undead brought a deep pain to his face.
It was as if he was recalling a long-standing trauma.
Eventually, Dietrich shook off my hand.
[ Darkness: 58% ]
It increased again.
It wasn’t a surprising result. Rather, I was expecting it.
I learned this on the second floor. Wasting time trying to be cautious only caused the darkness level to rise significantly.
To alleviate his pain, it’s better to end this quickly.
But at that moment—
Whoosh—
A strong wind blew on the third floor.
The flames engulfing the undead were snuffed out like small candles in a fierce wind.
Once again, I was interrupted.
It seemed this game didn’t want the undead to end like this.
“Huuk! Dietrich!”
The undead writhed in pain and called out to Dietrich.
“Hurry and kill that woman!”
“If you don’t, she’ll kill us all!”
“Dietrich!”
His friends’ cries made his eyes waver. In the end, he reluctantly grabbed his sword.
“Is that your choice, Dietrich?”
“You tried to kill my friends.”
“Those aren’t your friends, they’re undead.”
Despite the cold, the wind made the temperature on the third floor plummet.
White breath escaped my lips.
“…The undead is you.”
“Just a day ago, you said you loved me, and now you’ve changed your mind. Disappointing.”
For a moment, his blurry focus became clear.
Dietrich shook his head in confusion.
Far from being thankful, I felt annoyed at his hesitation despite having drawn his sword to kill me.
Even if his opponent changed, he would still be hesitating like this.
[ Time left until the next attempt can be done: 02:53:36 ]
I wanted to use the ring again, but unfortunately, the cooldown was three hours.
I looked at Dietrich.
He approached me with a determined look.
Clang—!
The long sword dragged along the floor, making an unpleasant sound.
His purple eyes darkened ominously, as if he had made up his mind.
* * *
“Ugh!”
Dietrich threw me onto his bed.
He seemed to have made up his mind, and in the end, he dragged me to his room.
“Yes. I can’t kill you.”
“……”
“Because you’re wearing the face of the one I love. So I can’t even bring myself to touch that shell.”
[ Darkness: 60% ]
A bitter smile formed on his lips.
“So I’ll stop you in my own way.”
Leaving only those words, Dietrich left the room.
Feeling something was off, I immediately tried to follow him.
But as I reached for the door he had closed behind him—
Click.
The door wouldn’t open.
