Love Letter From The Future

5. Bread and dagger (87)

Leoric’s body is mindless. Only the main body had emotions and consciousness.

Having dealt with countless Leoric’s bodies, I could vouch for this. In addition, Leoric told a similar story about Betty’s unconscious body.

Did you say that prolonged absence of the mind adversely affects the body?

Actually, that wasn’t really helpful information.

What’s the use of saying that the body has no emotions? The body was perfectly listening to Leoric’s control. The presence or absence of emotion was out of the question in battle.

Yes, if the princess wasn’t on our side.

Had it been so, I would never have thought of using this useless insight.

[You’re trying to find the body.]

I shook my head at the answer the princess gave.

You wouldn’t be able to see it from afar anyway, but it was a reaction that even I showed inadvertently.

“To be precise, we are trying to find the shell Leoric is trusting. Actually, Leoric’s main body is this lump of flesh itself.”

It was a short and simple operation.

It was also an effective plan that I could come up with.

The princess immediately shut her mouth as if she understood. He must have been watching Leoric from behind, raising his eyes.

However, one more piece of the puzzle remained.

“Then what can I do?”

It was Seria’s question.

It was something I had already anticipated, so I recited my plan as quickly as possible.

“You, there is a skill you learned from ‘me’.”

Before he knew it, Leoric’s bodies were slowly repositioning themselves. This meant that the airstrikes of tentacles and bodies would soon resume.

There was no time.

“Write when I signal.”

“Yeah?”

I kicked the ground without even hearing an answer.

As soon as I did, tentacles and bodies greeted me.

It was a reunion that only lasted a few minutes, but I wasn’t happy at all.

With one blow of the knife and one stroke of the axe, the flesh was ripped apart and the blood gushed out like fireworks.

One step, then another step.

The breath that had subsided became rough again. As my panting breaths quickened, my sword and ax gradually became faster.

It was a feeling I had felt once before.

The day I finished the corpse giant that was regenerating infinitely.

That day as well, my mind was hazy like this, and I was the only one wielding the sword in the unseen world.

However, Leoric was not an easy opponent either.

Pak, and a fist protrudes through the chest of one of the bodies.

It was a blow that even I did not expect. I hurriedly turned my body, but I couldn’t help it, as my side was torn.

Seria let out a scream as blood splattered from my body.

“Senior Ian!”

“yet!”

I managed to suppress my moaning and slashed the arm that brushed my side with the hatchet.

Cak, while the ax blade was half-engaged, tentacles flew in.

At that time, my foot was already kicking the shell through my chest.

Unlike the slash, the shock was effective even against Leoric’s hard body.

As the shell slid back and opened, I twisted the ax blade away from the shell’s arm. Then he bent his upper body and stepped on the body as if he was riding it.

The sound of tentacles slicing through the air could be heard.

hook, hook.

It seemed that the tentacles that couldn’t overcome my momentum stabbed the flesh that was my main body.

I shouted at Seria again.

“Don’t swing yet! a little bit… Keugh, wait!”

Of course, the wait won’t be long.

One step, one step.

The resistance intensified every time I advanced, but my slashing speed was also accelerating accordingly.

And it looks.

From behind, five bodies that were staring at me without even moving.

One of them must have been the main body.

I screamed in the rain-like waves of tentacles and bodies.

“Shien!”

[It’s the one on the far right!]

Along with the name being called, I felt the presence of running behind my back.

I decided to reveal a number that I had been hiding for so long.

When I opened my eyes, I felt the pressure as if my blood vessels were bursting. My vision charted the space, and my hand pulled the blurry solid line as if tearing it apart.

All the tentacles pointed at me bent at odd angles.

Paba Park, the tentacles caught in the tentacles stopped. But there was still one more reason why I had to keep my eyes wide open.

The air begins to bleed.

Dripping, blood-colored lines flowed down to form angular letters. A mysterious character used by a race called the creators of magic in the distant past.

It was a dragon blood letter.

bang!

An explosion rang out, spreading thick heat. Crimson flames licked their tongues and engulfed the surrounding scenery in an instant. I ran alone through the flames.

very short gap.

Just before my sword touched Leoric’s body, the other four bodies leapt and flung at me as if they had been waiting.

The clock was already cloudy. I couldn’t afford those bodies.

That’s why I asked for it.

“Seria!”

In the stopped time, a girl kicked the ground and was shot.

It was a deep blue horizon.

The blade that ran in a neat straight line brought a storm. The land torn apart by the slash that split the moment was screaming at random.

What can be perfect in front of that storm?

“Kyaaak!”

The four bodies were cut in half, swept away in the aftermath, and disappeared without leaving a trace. Even Seria, who blew that blow, took a step back from the power beyond imagination.

Now all that was left was me.

The main body’s mouth was aimed at me. As if he would spit out a scream at any moment.

So, conclusion.

Light and light collided and started a game that did not tolerate even one step of concession. As I groaned and took a step, the beam burst with a stronger light.

But even that is a limit.

The light beam breaks like fragments, and my blade swims between the light particles.

Leoric was crossing his arms in a last rage.

Therefore, Hae (解).

There was an eerie sound of the blade digging into the bone. Even for a moment, when I clenched my teeth and applied more strength to my arms, Leoric’s arms began to tremble.

Only then did the middle-aged man grind his teeth with his remaining mouth.

“I-no… Percus! Do you think defeating me will end this curse?! This is one of the underdogs! you’ve been ignoring… It is a hope created by our miserable reality, which we have sometimes closed our eyes to!”

“Bitch, don’t… mind!”

I took a hard step and gritted my teeth even more.

It was as if the blood vessels in his eyes had burst, and his vision was stained red. I am now close to my limit.

“Didn’t you see the blood on your hands? If living is hell, you contributed to that hell!”

“You are the ones who made that hell!”

“I bet!”

Kagak, and the blade advanced a little further. The end was in front of me.

It was then that my hand, which had been supporting the handle, ran across my waist.

Leoric’s eyes widened. It was because my hatchet flew through the air.

He’ll remember that too.

How did you get hit by this blow?

The hatchet, which had reached its apex, stopped abruptly.

“Not anymore!”

And the hatchet that struck like a beam of light hit the blade.

The taut balance of power could not withstand that small crack.

Screams, blood, and blurred vision.

Then, an explosion that shook the world rang out, and along with the sensation of my body floating, my vision went dark.

In that hazy consciousness, I thought.

can you rest now

He didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger.

**

When I opened my eyes, it was a memory of a strange man.

My cheeks tingled. A white spark flashed in my vision, and the pain soon brought my consciousness to the fore.

What have you done?

The blue eyes of the woman looking at me had a sharp light.

“… … I told you not to touch me!”

Biting her lips, the woman spat out a warning.

It was an extreme rejection. Deep anger emanated from that voice, but for some reason I wasn’t afraid of the woman.

Rather pitiful.

It was the reason why I burst out laughing even when I was slapped on the cheek.

The eyes of the woman glaring at me narrowed. Like it’s very unpleasant.

“What is so funny?”

“It’s the first time I’ve been slapped by a female junior.”

“Ha,” the woman burst into laughter as if it were absurd. Gray hair that slithers along with that trembling.

Even I, who spat out the words, did not understand why. As a party, it would be unfair.

In fact, there was another reason why I laughed.

When my hand touched the woman’s arm, the emotion she displayed was fear.

It wasn’t directed at me. To put it on the contrary, the reaction that made me tremble while examining my body right after that.

The woman didn’t particularly hate me.

On the contrary, because I hate myself so much, I feel negatively about every touch I touch.

I’m afraid I’ll hurt someone again.

As proof of this, the death of the woman continued.

“Ha, what a terrible first experience. Even if you get hit, you get slapped on the cheek by a monster?”

“Why are you a monster?”

“Then isn’t it?”

Crying, the junior takes a step towards me.

I deliberately faced her calmly without backing down.

“The blood flowing through this body wants blood… It’s getting harder to control. Because I’m a monster! The blood of the monster that killed my beloved sister and her vassals runs in my veins!”

“What if you could overcome the curse?”

It was a quiet reflection. A flat question that doesn’t even feel high or low.

But the effect of that one word was clear.

The woman’s body froze stiffly.
