Chapter 135
Lately, I’ve been dreaming a lot more often.
I was looking around again, aware that it was a dream. The dream I always had was set in Korea before I possessed, but now, it was difficult to tell if it was the Earth or the Empire. Fortunately, I didn’t even know because I fell into a forest full of trees.
Still, what was surprising was that it was not unfamiliar. Why?
As I walked along, the sunlight falling through the cracks in the dense trees and the rustling sound of the leaves being trampled under my feet sounded as vivid as if they were in real life. While I walked along the path without thinking, I noticed that this place had a similar feeling to the maze of forests I had visited a while before.
The thick, damp smell of the forest was very familiar. I only stayed for a while because of the kidnapping, so why could I remember this in detail?
When I felt a strange impression, a woman with the same hair color as me passed by from a distance… no, her emerald hair, that was brighter than mine, ran around aimlessly as if she was wandering.
She somehow seemed to be being chased, so I slowly started chasing her.
“Hey!”
I called her out loud, but she soon disappeared through the trees. From then on, the bizarre chase began. I didn’t know who it was, but I had the idea that I had to stop that woman. I grabbed the cumbersome dress and ran without hesitation as I had trained.
I didn’t know that hunting training with Oscar and Damian would be so helpful.
As I was closely following the woman running through the trees, I reached out for her. I barely caught her emerald hair on my fingertips.
I gritted my teeth and shouted as I extended my hand to her.
“Hold on! Wait!”
Perhaps not hearing my voice, the woman didn’t care and kept running towards somewhere.
Then, a bright light began to shine from far away in the forest, where only trees were visible. When I squinted my eyes at the intense light and looked into the distance, I could see that the place where the light was leaking was a certain white building.
The woman was running toward it. The closer we got to the building, the more I heard a woman’s voice.
“…Let me go! I want to get out of here! Please!”
The woman cried in a desperate voice.
“Why can’t I get out even after dying?!”
“….”
I listened to her mutter as I silently followed the woman.
“You are the saint… pray to God. Please let us go.”
The woman’s voice was mournful but gradually changed to an angry tone.
“This is what happened because you set a barrier! Then, you must take responsibility!”
“I don’t know what God’s godd*mn will is! Let me out!”
It was only then that I was able to recognize who the woman running in front of me was.
“Cassandra.”
Unknowingly, I called her name. Then she, who seemed to be unaware of me, just stopped. Cassandra slowly turned her body in the stillness, where the only sound was the wind blowing through the trees.
I held my breath and watched it.
I couldn’t take her eyes off Cassandra, who slowly turned around in slow motion.
My eyes met the bright red eyes that contrasted with her emerald hair color. As soon as she saw me, she twisted her mouth. Even from a quick glance, I could tell from her expression that she was full of displeasure.
Cassandra recognized me.
“You… how did you come here?”
She asked in a harsh voice that seemed to come from scratching her neck. Shocked, I came to my senses at her question. If she asked how I got there, what was I supposed to say?
This was in my dream.
Cassandra, who was glaring at me for not answering, let out a stunned laugh.
“Annoying. You would always talk back usually, so why are you keeping your mouth shut now?”
“Because I don’t know what to say?”
“What?”
“It’s my dream, so if you ask me how I came here, what should I say? Rather, I want to ask. Why do I have to see you in my dreams?”
“…Dream?”
Cassandra muttered as if she saw something strange after hearing my words.
“Why is this hellish place your dream…”
She stopped talking and raised her eyes in surprise. The red eyes that opened as if they were about to tear were a little creepy. Oscar’s red eyes, which I usually see, are just beautiful, though why were they so different with these same red eyes?
The torn red eyes quickly folded into half-moon shapes. The gap was creepy, so I took a step back.
Cassandra’s frivolous laughter spread through the quiet space.
“Haha, I was annoyed because of you and your brother, but it turned out well.”
As soon as she finished speaking, something began to form around Cassandra. The shape that was round changed to human form in an instant. A large man clad in rugged armor, with radiating eyes from inside his helmet.
A man carrying a greatsword as tall as me on his back pulled it out of its scabbard and lifted it. The sound of the wind could be heard whenever the sword moved.
I felt like I knew what the next situation would be without looking further.
As I turned my back and started running at full speed, the sound of Cassandra groaning rang out from behind me. She didn’t have a dull personality enough to be beaten. I also had a lot of bad feelings towards her.
By the way, was it possible for humans to be created through magic? If it looked the same as a person, did that person’s ability become a copy as it was?
A thud rang out from behind me as I lost my direction at that moment. As the tall man chasing me swung his sword, the poor tree fell and made a noise. There was no way I, who had no abilities, could deal with such a huge man. He was holding a sword, nonetheless.
So, I ran towards the building with the light I saw earlier.
It felt like it would somehow be safe to go there, so I just ran as hard as I could, as if someone was telling me to.
“Catch her, catch and kill her! You idiot!”
Cassandra still had a tantrum.
Why was that person always angry? She was like that from the first time I met her. As soon as she saw me, she clicked her tongue in disapproval. I didn’t question it because it wasn’t different from the attitude my adoptive parents always had, but now I know.
She didn’t like Rachel from the beginning, not me.
“Ack!”
Didn’t see the roots of the trees rising above the ground, I stumbled on them, and because it was a slope, I fell down. I didn’t feel much pain because it was a dream, though somehow I felt a sense of deja vu.
I had a similar experience a long time ago…
“The forest maze?”
I opened my mouth in amazement when I uttered the name unknowingly. If the road were not different from that time, there would be a cave not far from here where Oscar and Damian stayed.
If I hid there, wouldn’t I wake up from my dream?
I hurriedly checked my back. In the gap between my fall, the large man who followed me closely tried to stab me with a huge sword. Even though it was a dream, it seemed like I was hearing a warning that I should never be hit by that sword.
Instead of getting up, I just rolled over. I started rolling down faster than I could run. My head and stomach were messed up like I was having motion sickness, but it didn’t matter.
This was a dream.
I wouldn’t die.
I was running for my life, but I had contradictory thoughts.
The next moment, I hurriedly got up and ran in the direction of the cave. The densely packed trees then disappeared without a trace, and a wide field appeared. It was as if the building where the light flowed that I felt was far away emitted a stronger light than when it was right in front of me.
The closer I went to the cave, the stronger the light became. Nonetheless, I still heard Cassandra’s voice behind me, and I heard the loud footsteps of the man pursuing me.
The wind blew up as if he swung his sword behind me.
Whoom.
I hurriedly looked around at the sound of another swing.
Finding a cave similar to the one I had seen before, I entered it without looking back. A space that should have been dark in the cave was shining brightly as if guiding me.
The man and Cassandra seemed to have followed in, and a sound began to echo inside the cave. While I was running on wobbly legs to go deeper, I tripped on something and fell. I thought I bumped into a wall while rolling, but the wall was sharp and I felt a sting.
Could you feel pain in your dreams? It didn’t hurt when I rolled earlier…
I couldn’t get up right away because of dizziness, and when I was struggling, I could hear a thud right behind me before the wind rose above my head. The tall man looked down at me, his eyes shining. The eyes that emitted red light did not seem to belong to humans.
Cassandra shrieked as I reached my hand back and tried to shift my body back.
“Kill her! Right now!”
As the man raised his sword-holding hand at her command, I couldn’t help but stare blankly at the unrealistic scene.
Even though I felt like I was in danger, I couldn’t move my body anymore.
Not only my body but also my breathing had completely stopped, I grabbed my trembling heart and took a deep breath.
“Huhp…”
My whole body was shaking, and even my inhaling sound seemed to resonate. At the same time, the sword coming down toward me stopped.
Like time has stopped.
