Infinite Mage - Chapter 985

What you can’t choose (3)

“Sirone?”

Shirone said with a smile after confirming that the two people were safe.

“Please wait.”

The sound of the Hand of God pouring down building debris into the clearing at the top of the mountain could be heard up to here.

“what? But…

the posture in which Alpheas and Olivia were lying felt quite meaningful.

“What were you two doing?” Olivia, realizing that she was still being held in his arms, hurriedly dropped her body.

“Ugh!”

Alpheas groaned in pain.

“I’m sorry. are you okay?”

He frowned as if the pain wasn’t going away easily and winked at Sirone.

“Thank you for saving me, but can you cover me again? “It was such an important moment right now.”

Olivia’s face heated up.

“What nonsense are you talking about, you crazy old man!”

Sirone laughed.

Seeing that both of them were full of energy, it seemed like they had no internal injuries.

“I’ll take it out now.”

The Hand of God penetrated the ground and lifted the two people up as if pulling them out of water.

“Hmm, it’s light.”

Alpheas smiled.

Who knew that a child who asked what magic was would become the light that saves the world?

Upon arriving on the ground, Olivia was able to confirm the power of the bomb that exploded moments ago.

“Oh my god…

the entire radius was blown away and a huge crater was formed where they were.

Shiina came running.

“Vice principal! Are you okay? What

happened? “The school is exploding!”

Olivia gestured with her chin.

Alpheas, who was receiving emergency treatment from Sirone, was raising his thumb.

Reyna said.

“My kneecap was crushed. Sirone did the magical treatment, but I think surgery will be needed at the same time.”

“I guess I’ll have to join the military. “In this situation, that may be the only place where you can get surgery.” THAAD’s voice was heard from outside the crater.

“Master! “Are you okay?”

He arrived in front of the group by teleportation and was momentarily speechless upon seeing Shirone.

“What happened? “What about the explosion?”

Saad, who heard the whole story from Shiina, sighed in relief and said.

“thank god. Other people are hiding in the mountains. Shirone, your parents too.”

After shooting the lighting magic into the sky, students came down from the mountain 10 minutes later.

“uh? Shirone-senpai!”

Mark and Maria were the first to run, but Sirone did not even receive a proper greeting.

This is because I saw Vincent and Olina standing haggardly in the crowd of students.

” mom.”

Vincent and his wife froze in their seats because they had not even expected that they would have a son.

But nothing could overcome the hot energy burning in my chest.

“Sirone!”

” mom!”

As Sirone roughly hugged Olina, Vincent covered them with tears in his eyes.

Numerous questions were asked to each other without waiting for answers, and people watched happily.

Sirone spit out impulsively.

“I found my biological mother.”

Why this timing?

The thought that I had made a mistake suddenly crossed my mind, but it seemed like there was no better time than now.

“Well, I think I should tell you first. Of course, my father and mother…

“Okay.”

Olina, who was making eye contact with her husband, said while caressing Sirone’s cheek.

“That’s really good.”

“…yes.”

In the end, Sirone shed tears.

The night streets of Baska, where martial law was declared, had turned into a dreary ghost town.

Occasionally, the screams of emotionally ill people floated through the air like ghosts.

The sound of an impact echoed, and the sound of a woman crying in fear was heard somewhere else.

Pony’s face, looking down at the city from the castle, was already exhausted.

‘I’ll be able to last more than a day.’

After breaking two more fingers, she realized that self-harm was not a problem that could be solved.

‘The increase in threshold is much larger than expected. I can’t last even a few days in this condition. ‘I have no choice but to endure it.’

The key was to eliminate the demon world, and as soon as dawn broke, Sirone and Lian would leave for the other side of the world.

‘Is it okay?’

According to Sirone, the process of going to hell while still alive is truly terrible.

If you’re not careful, you’ll end up in trouble.

Sirone’s prediction was that even if he maintained his senses, it would not be normal.

I looked down towards the garden and saw Tess alone, looking up at the moon.

‘Is this Ryan’s lover? ‘I must be distraught.’

Since it was not a situation where anyone could sympathize with someone, Pony closed his eyes and went inside.

“ha.”

Tess sighed.

‘Are you really going?’

I felt sick to my stomach as I heard how to cross the river of no return.

‘I can’t hold on. ‘This is crazy.’

If the entire human race had not been in a situation where it would be destroyed, Sirone would not have taken Rian.

‘You bastard.’

Even though I was angry at Lian, thinking about the fear he must feel sent a chill down my spine.

‘Yes, I need to come to my senses too.’

After returning to the castle, Tess packed some snacks and headed to the accommodation where Lian was staying.

“It’s Rihanna.”

“…come in.”

As expected, his voice was trembling.

She took a deep breath, put on a bright expression, and opened the door.

“hi? A beer or something…

Tess’s movements froze as she lifted the bottle.

“Whoa! Phew!”

The room was hot and Ryan was doing push-ups with his shirt off.

He just turned his head and said.

“Why aren’t you coming in?”

Although he had a strained expression, there was no trace of fear about tomorrow.

Tess closed the door in frustration and sat down on the bed.

“Are you okay?”

“Emotional illness? No problem for the time being. “No matter where I break or tear, it will be restored.”

“No, not that one. You know what you have to do tomorrow, right? You keep being in the fire…

Tess stopped talking hastily.

It’s terrible even if it didn’t happen to you, but how do you think the person who hears it feels?

“Yes, it sets my body on fire. “That way you can enter the other side of the world.”

“Aren’t you afraid?” Tess finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and spat it out.

“You never know what kind of effect the fire in your body might have on the world! it’s crazy? Or are you really stupid? You might not die. But that makes it even worse, you idiot!”

Ryan stopped exercising and stood up.

“Tess.”

Then he took the beer bottle that Tess was holding and opened the cap.

“don’t worry. “I’ll do well.” Tess, who was staring blankly at Ryan as he drank beer, suddenly got goosebumps.

‘I’m not stupid.’

It’s courage.

The courage to not give in to anything was Ryan’s talent.

After finishing exercising, Ryan drank beer with Tess.

Time passed by without any mention of tomorrow, and before I knew it, it was midnight.

After a moment of silence, Tess, who was fiddling with the bottle, burst into laughter.

“ha ha ha!”

Even though a man and a woman are in the same room, the atmosphere is like this.

“What is happening all of a sudden?”

When Lian asked, Tess’s laughter spread into a self-deprecating smile and she continued speaking.

“We’re cool.”

She asked, looking back at Lian.

“Or is it just me that’s cool? “Actually, you’re not even thinking about it.”

Lian was speechless.

“??????Do you want to do it?”

When there was no answer despite her greatest courage, Tess quickly changed the mood.

“ha ha ha! I’m kidding! Could it be that I was with you…

and that was why I felt even sadder?

A warm feeling gripped her heart, and tears fell.

“Can’t you just tell me? “I won’t ever bother you, so why don’t you just say I love you?”

“You are a good person.”

“why! why!”

Tess suddenly got up and stood in front of Lian.

“You’ll be gone tomorrow! You don’t want anything! “Why is it so difficult to just say something?”

“Why did Sirone choose me?” I was angry at the sudden question, but I wouldn’t be able to say anything without going through Sirone anyway.

“Only you can enter this secret world, you are strong, and Shirone trusts you the most.”

“no.”

Lian shook his head.

“If that were the only reason, Sirone would have gone alone.”

When I heard it, it turned out to be true.

“I don’t know the principle, but it seems like Shiro and you are all over the world at the same time. The first thing that came to mind when I heard that was this. “Then how do I protect myself?”

Tess fell silent.

“If Sirone dies in one space, what will happen to Sirone in another space? “Will everyone die, or will only Sirone who was in that space die?”

“So… did you ask Sirone?”

“No, I didn’t ask. If it was tactically necessary, I would have told you without asking. However, Sirone did not reveal it. That means…

Lian’s eyes turned cold.

“If Sirone in one space dies, all Sirones in all parts of the world die.”

Saliva flowed down Tess’s throat. “That’s why I didn’t say it on purpose. “If you find out about this, your morale will drop.”

“Ha, but it’s just a guess. If you ask Sirone tomorrow…

“Do you really think that?”

Lian interrupted.

“Do you think Sirone would have asked his friend to do something he could do on his own, even though he knew it would cause him terrible pain?”

no.

“I will go to hell by any means possible. And I will protect Sirone there. Tess, I know how you feel. But I don’t want to take on any responsibility other than Shirone. “You will not be able to make choices when it really matters.”

If you are delaying your judgment because of the regrets you have left behind in reality, you should cut them all off and move on.

“So you can’t take any responsibility for me? How about just saying something? Even just 1 percent?”

Lian said firmly.

“Even if it’s 0.1 percent.” “Sorry. You can complain as much as you want. I’m already prepared. I definitely…

“Hahaha! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Tess’s laughter was mixed with crying, but her expression seemed somewhat relaxed.

“It’s really like you. I know that? “You are the worst of the worst men I’ve ever met.”

“sorry.”

“no it’s okay.”

Tess grabbed Ryan’s head with both hands.

“Because I will never regret it. “Now I know why I like you.”

Because he is a true knight.

‘And me too.’

She put a lot of pressure on the hands that were touching Lian’s head and said with a sharp expression.

“go. “Go and fight.”

“??????Tess.”

“Listen to me carefully. You must maintain your sanity. And if you are in danger…

Tess held back tears.

‘Don’t cry, Tess. Smile. ‘You have to smile.’

Somehow I couldn’t see any tears, but I couldn’t make a smiling face in the end.

“If Sirone is in danger…

The words I drew out while biting my lip finally passed through my throat and came out of my mouth.

“You must die. Promise. I won’t hesitate even for a moment. “I’m protecting my lord.”

Rian quietly lowered his head and closed his eyes.

“okay.”

Suddenly this thought occurred to me.

If there is peace in this land one day, it would be nice to live with Tess.
