“Hu-ugh…!”
Peter lost his balance and staggered. The force was so immense that his vision went dark for a moment. Barely clinging to his sword, Peter breathed heavily, glaring at Hyemi.
“Haa… you… you…!”
Hyemi landed on the ground after a spin in the air, muttered something to him.
“It hurts…?”
“Uwaaahh!!!”
He rushed towards her with the sword, but Hyemi was suddenly behind him. As she kicked him hard on the back, he groaned and staggered forward.
“Is this enough pain for you?”
Hyemi yelled at him.
“You killed Fabian!”
The sword flew from Peter’s wrist. His face and abdomen were repeatedly hit by her fists. Blood gushed from Peter’s nose and lips.
“And you didn’t stop at killing Leon and Valtri. You cut up my body!”
It was a voice loud enough for the knights of Sernotti, fighting the Kaplan, to hear.
“What Eden said… is it true?”
Vincent wiped his sweat and frowned at Walter.
“You saw Peter attacking Cedric from behind earlier, didn’t you?”
Walter put a knife into a man’s neck and growled roughly.
“Let her handle the revenge. We’ll protect her as much as we can.”
The number of Kaplan soldiers charging was far greater than the surprise attack three years ago. As Vincent seriously nodded, Hyemi shouted Walter’s name loudly.
“Walter…!”
Walter swiftly turned his head to look at her. Snow was falling over the Sernott castle. Their eyes met. Hyemi gazed at him with fiery determination in her.
“Huuu…ugh….”
Peter, who had dropped his sword and collapsed in front of her, grimace in fear as he crawled on the ground. Walter read the message in her eyes.
Swish!
The long sword that Valtri offered her, which Eden had refused before, flew through the air.
Thud.
Hyemi’s hand grabbed the handle of the flying sword in midair, as simultaneously with Peter’s groan.
“Huuuuhhhkk!!!”
As Peter tried to get up and flee, blood gushed from his back. Hyemi cut through his shoulders and chest consecutively. She plunged the sword deeply into his body once again before pulling it out and slashing his leg.
Dong.
The sound of the bell spread through the wintry wind. Due to Hyemi’s precise targeting, Peter’s breath stubbornly clung to life.
“Hu-uhh….”
Red blood spurted from Peter’s chest, sprinkling over her body. He looked at her and chuckled.
“You’re fated… kuhk… to die… Eden…”
Hyemi raised the sword in the air towards Peter. The sword trembled silently in the air.
The blood in her veins surged with intense anger. Tears welled up in Hyemi’s eyes. Sorrow rose together with rage. It was a bitter ambivalence towards her once-comrade.
Peter barely managed to speak in a ghastly, strained voice towards her.
“Do you think two suns… can coexist in…. one sky? As long as Christian exists, you will eventually die… !”
“Goodbye, Peter.”
A trembling goodbye flowed from Hyemi’s lips. The moment the silver trail drew a line, Peter’s head flew in the air. Blood flashed from her sword, which neatly cut off his neck.
“Haa…”
Peter’s head rolled on the ground, his eyes unable to close. Walter shouted loudly at her as he watched her looking at that sight with wet eyes.
“Eden! Your right!”
Hyemi’s head reflexively turned as she blocked the enemy’s sword, and Walter’s thrown dagger pierced the enemy’s heart. Hyemi looked around, holding the dagger.
She could see Sernotti’s knights struggling.
No.
No one should die. No one in Sernotti should die because of her.
Just like that. Like that night.
“Hu… Aaah!”
Hyemi leaped into their midst and began to indiscriminately slash at the Kaplan. Stabbing, slashing, blocking, and killing repeated in rapid succession.
Hyemi gritted her teeth and simply moved her body as it went. She saw one of Sernotti’s knights pinned down by an enemy from the top.
She threw her body in the ari and tore through the back of Kaplan, who was trying to deliver a blow. There was no need to think. Her body burned with hatred that she couldn’t forgive anyone who threatened the peace of Sernotti.
“Eden… Eden has returned!”
Someone’s cry echoed through the castle. No one could doubt the fact that she was Sernotti’s Eden. Moreover, having awakened from her long slumber, Eden’s absence only made her stronger.
“Protect Eden! Don’t forget the one we must defend!”
Walter shouted, his voice following her as she ran wild, covered in blood. The exhausted Sernotti knights rallied their ranks, gaining strength as their swords clashed. Being outnumbered was not a problem. The number of corpses in black clothing continued to increase.
“Huuk…!”
The last one fell to the ground, blood spilling from his mouth.
Just before dawn broke on the darkest morning, the 73 assassins who had raided Sernotti had been completely wiped out. The long sword finally fell to the ground with a thud from Hyemi’s blood-soaked hand as she gasped for breath.
…What have I done?
It felt like a fog had suddenly lifted from her dazed mind. The events that had just happened seemed hazy, like a dream she didn’t want to remember. However, to dismiss it as a nightmare, the smell and lukewarm blood splashing across the face and spreading on the tip of her nose is so vivid.
