I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 262
I am not a returner Episode 262:
Snowy field (2)
“Ugh!”
Blood pouring like a fountain.
It was hot, as if my shoulder had been cut with a red-hot iron.
The pain spreads like poison and erodes reason.
“Hmph!”
Suppressing the dizzying pain, I slashed Cassia’s arm, which was holding her waist, with a folding knife.
Get the card!
A strong repulsive force was transmitted through the hand so that it was hard to believe that the slender forearm had been hit.
Still, to what extent was the attack effective?
The strength of the arm holding my waist suddenly weakened.
-Cow!
I roughly stamped my feet to increase the distance between me and Cassia.
I took an emergency potion out of the sling bag I always carried with me and poured it into the cross section of my right arm that was torn off below the shoulder.
“Hmm. “You’re making shrewd moves like a liar.”
Cassia licked the blood flowing from her forearm where the knife had cut it with her tongue and threw Ojin’s right arm, which she was holding in her hand, on the floor like trash.
“sister…?”
Isabella, who was piercing the wall of shadows, opened her eyes wide and looked down at Ojin’s arm lying on the floor.
“What are you doing now?”
Isabella glares at Cassia with a stern expression.
A dark glow bloomed in her eyes.
“huh? “Are you just punishing a liar?”
“….”
Isabella’s eyes turned cold.
Looking down at Ojin’s arm lying on the floor, he stopped punching the wall and turned towards Cassia.
“How dare you…”
Crack, cluck.
The sound of nervously biting one’s nails echoed eerily.
“How dare you take Mr. Ojin’s arm…!”
Wow.
Red drops of blood flowed between crushed fingernails.
The red blood droplets that flowed down the finger changed into the shape of a red sickle.
The pupil that had lost its light turned towards Cassia.
“Stop, Isabella!”
I heard Ojin’s urgent voice, but I couldn’t stop.
Because we can’t just leave the bitch who dared hurt Ojin’s body alone.
Even if it is my real sister who has been desperately visiting me for 10 years.
Isabella grabbed the red scythe and kicked her feet roughly.
Sigh!
A blood-red path engraved on the floor.
Isabella glided along the path and swung her scythe sharply.
“Seeing you confronting your sister, you still have bad habits.”
Cassia let out a cold sneer and clenched her fists as if grasping for air.
A shadow climbed up her body and pooled in her hands.
The shadows were gathered together to form a long staff.
The two snakes coiled around the ends of the staff had emerald bells hanging from their mouths.
rattle.
The clear sound of bells ringing.
The shadow that exploded around the staff hit Isabella’s scythe.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
The red scythe bounced violently and Isabella’s body was pushed backwards.
“It’s your sister who has bad habits.”
Isabella glared fiercely at Cassia and slashed her palm with the blade of the red scythe.
Blood spurted out and red blades rained down on Cassia.
“…You know nothing and yet you say things like that?”
Cassia’s dimmed pupils turned to Isabella.
The jewel embedded in her forehead gave off an eerie black light.
I lightly waved the staff in my hand in the air.
Shaaaaa!
Black snakes rose up along the staff’s path, creating a huge barrier.
Clashing red blades and a wall of snakes.
The ground was torn apart like a piece of paper, and an amusement ride tens of meters high fell down, sending up dust.
“Flow.”
Isabella turned her palm, which had been cut by the scythe, downward.
The dripping blood created circular waves and dyed the ground red.
Flowers bloomed on the red-stained earth.
Hundreds of blood-red flowers, from stems to leaves, were bright red and spread out around Isabella.
It’s like standing in the middle of a garden made of blood.
Isabella slowly raised her scythe in the Garden of Blood.
“Hey, those are pretty flowers.”
Cassia walked without hesitation into the garden of blood flowers in full bloom.
He picked out a blood flower, held it up, and burst into laughter.
“Now that I think about it, do you remember? “You made me a wreath when I was little.”
The expansive garden of the Colgrande family.
Isabella was smiling brightly while holding a wreath made of wild flowers, and Cassia was sitting in a wheelchair looking at Isabella with warm eyes.
Precious memories that I can’t even remember when they happened anymore.
“…I do not remember.”
Actually, I remember it.
So vivid that I can’t forget it even in my dreams.
“oh? so? I remember. Hehe, how disgusting it was to see you putting a flower crown on me back then… Even thinking about it now makes me feel sick.”
“….”
Isabella chewed her lips roughly.
Even though I know that Cassia is not in her right mind.
“You said it was disgusting?”
“Hehe. “Why did you think I would like it?”
Every word that came out of Cassia’s mouth became like a dagger and pierced her heart.
The album of memories I had kept so close to my heart was torn apart by the sharp dagger.
“Noisy.”
Isabella fiercely opened her eyes and swung her scythe.
Hundreds of blood flowers blooming around the area exploded simultaneously, creating a terrifying explosion.
Rumbling!
The earth shakes as if an earthquake has occurred.
She created destruction close to a natural disaster with a mere human body.
but.
“Hmm. “I thought it was a pretty flower, but on the inside, it’s similar to you?”
Even in that distant explosion, Cassia was just standing there unharmed.
“Now is it my turn?”
rattle.
With a clear sound of bells, black snakes rushed towards Isabella like a tidal wave.
“Tsk!”
Dozens hundreds thousands.
There are so many snakes that counting them is meaningless.
Isabella violently swung her sickle and cut down the snakes that came in like a tidal wave.
How much time has passed like that?
“haha!”
Isabella let out a rough breath and leaned forward, using the red scythe as a staff.
“Are you tired already?”
Compared to Isabella, who was breathing heavily as if she would collapse at any moment, Cassia’s condition did not change much from when they first clashed.
Just a little short of breath.
Cassia twitched the corner of her mouth and took a light step forward, and her body disappeared into the shadows and instantly appeared in front of Isabella’s eyes.
“I guess we should punish Bella too.”
“…sister.”
Cassia’s eyes sparkled with an eerie emerald color.
She raised her wand hand high and struck it towards Isabella.
No, not exactly.
He said, ‘I’m going to hit him down.’
“Tsk…”
Cassia’s body suddenly stops like a machine that has been switched off.
She let out a low moan and chewed her lips.
“Ah uh.”
The wand that had slipped from his hand fell to the floor with a clear bell sound.
Cassia crouched down, clutching her head with both hands.
“Stop… no, you can’t stop…”
Cassia muttered, trembling.
Every time I struggled to hold my head, the jewel embedded in my forehead shed black light.
“Ah ugh. ah.”
Cassia, who had curled up like a fish jumping up, raised her head and looked up at the sky.
The sky covered by her shadow was pitch black, with not a ray of light visible.
A memory comes to mind.
Old and faded.
Memories that I never wanted to recall again.
-sorry. Miss Cassia’s illness… cannot be cured by modern technology.
The doctor’s words seemed like a death sentence.
I don’t remember the exact name of the disease.
It was a disease in which the muscles of the entire body, from the legs to the waist and arms, ceased to function properly and became hard as stones.
An incurable disease that cannot be cured by the Colgrande family’s enormous financial resources.
All she could do was place her gradually stiffening body on the wheelchair and wait for death to come.
-Hehe, Cassia! Look at this!
Isabella presents a crown made of wild flowers with a bright smile.
How miserable I felt as I watched her running around so healthy, as if she was comforting herself in a wheelchair.
But I laughed.
Pretend nothing is wrong.
Pretend it’s nothing.
Because I believed that that way, my loved ones wouldn’t be sad.
Then one day.
She woke up late at night and was passing through the hallway when she heard a voice.
It was my mother’s voice talking to my father.
-I’m glad though.
What is fortunate?
-If Bella did the same, I would really… Sigh.
The sound of a mother sighing, as if she was somewhat relieved.
The moment she heard her mother’s words, her world fell apart.
okay.
Her life is the life of Cassia Colgrande.
It was just a ‘lucky’ life.
If you draw lots, it’s no different from a piece of paper with ‘No’ written on it.
No one wants it.
No one wants it.
A crumpled piece of paper left to be thrown away in the trash can.
That day she lost everything.
A kind father, a kind mother, and a lovely sister.
Even yourself.
After time passes.
According to family rules, she was placed in a hospital in faraway Iceland.
It wasn’t unfair or sad.
Because she had nothing anyway.
Because all I had was my pitiful, broken body.
She was abandoned by her family like that and was abandoned once more when a huge crack leading to the demon world opened.
There was no one to take care of her in a situation where monsters were flooding in like a tidal wave.
The place where I collapsed after struggling to drag my wheelchair was a pure white snowy field.
She was left alone in a driving blizzard and endless snow fields.
It’s so cold.
It’s as cold as a cut.
A memory that was as cold as freezing.
“iced coffee.”
The sky is as dark as a moonless night.
Cassia lowered her head and stumbled, raising her cane.
“You must follow his… words.”
I remember.
I reflect.
reminds me of
Trembling and crying pitifully.
Memories of that day when I waited for death to come.
A nightmare I can’t wake up from.
“…So that.”
never.
You can’t be abandoned━
“Thunderstorm!”
Let’s go! Let’s go!
A blue thunderbolt fell from the sky and pierced Cassia’s body.
Cassia let out a low groan and took a step back.
Taang!
Ojin tied Isabella’s body with wire and pulled her quickly.
“Whoa.”
He hugged Isabella, who was still panting, with his remaining arm.
“haha. “It’s okay now, Oh Jin.”
Isabella, who was out of breath, stood up.
She continued, creating a red scythe again.
“I will take my time, so Mr. Oh Jin, please run away in the meantime. “I made a small gap in the shadow wall earlier.”
“no.”
Oh Jin shook his head, rejecting her words outright.
“It would be better if we fight together.”
“….”
Even if I wanted to run away in the first place, I couldn’t because everywhere was covered in shadows.
Even if I created a gap, I couldn’t leave Isabella behind.
Isabella looked at Ojin, who was raising his remaining arm and getting into a fighting stance. She sighed deeply and placed her hand on his shoulder.
“Run away.”
A quiet command flowed from her mouth.
“Ugh!”
Regardless of Ojin’s will, his body began to move on its own.
“Isabella!”
“I’m sorry, Oh Jin.”
Isabella smiled slightly.
“But I felt the same way back then?”
Isabella winked and grabbed the scythe.
She kicked her feet and rushed towards Cassia once again.
