Chapter 105
…Since when? The feelings she suddenly realized were too intense and deep-rooted to be dismissed as temporary.
‘I should have known…’
Her already swollen throat was unbearably sore. Even though Leonhard spoke calmly, he couldn’t hide the beating of his heart as if he was afraid of death. At the same time, an urge to want to be held in his arms forever swept over her.
‘…I can’t do that.’
When she came out of his arms rather roughly, Leonhard gave a sad smile.
Celine took a deep breath.
What she uttered was not the answer Leonhard wanted.
“I will not kill Leonhard.”
Every word felt heavy.
She knew what her choice meant.
‘…I can’t go back now, forever.’
However, the moment she realized that she loved him, everything was fixed. Celine couldn’t live in a world without Leonhard now. No matter how peaceful it was, no matter how much she missed and loved that world… The world without Leonhard had no meaning.
“Celine. Of course, I know it’s hard for you, but…”
She did not listen to his words to the end.
“Leonhard.”
She looked up at him for a moment.
‘…What was he thinking?’
Leonhard’s face was only full of signs to reassure her that she couldn’t quite read his intentions.
“I was happy to meet Leonhard. More than ever.”
“….!”
“I won’t go back.”
His body shook slightly.
“Celine, that means…”
His voice sounded hopeful that it seemed estranged in the current situation. However, Leonhard’s words were cut off this time as well… by an unwelcome human being.
“Looks like I have no choice but to step out.”
“Lute Carl.”
Celine looked at Lute Carl.
She couldn’t hate him even now. How could she hate the person who has dreamed of a future in which the whole world was in ruins every night since his childhood and had dedicated his life to preventing it?
“You understand. You cannot kill Leonhard.”
Lute Carl laughed bitterly.
“You may well think so.”
“…Lute Carl.”
Although Leonhard spoke in a warning, Lute Carl continued without blinking an eye.
“Do you know the destructive power of a wizard who has grown enough to become a warlock?”
“I’ve already cut several. It will be just one more.”
Leonhard replied calmly, but Celine could sense an anxiety in him.
‘Leonhard is feeling uneasy.’
She swallowed dryly.
Things were taking an unusual turn. Finally, Lute Carl put an end to his ominous premonition.
“Lord Leonhard, can you cut someone now?”
“….”
As Celine hurriedly checked his complexion, Leonhard looked clearly taken aback.
“Leonhard.”
Celine asked urgently. There was only one reason she could think of.
“Is it because of me?”
“… It’s because of me.”
He confessed softly, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with one hand. Despite the fact that he seemed to hesitate for a moment, eventually, he began to explain the situation to Celine’s sad eyes.
“Just the thought of attacking someone… In that maze, made me remember when I killed you.”
It wasn’t detailed, but it was a sufficient explanation.
She jumped off the ground.
“That’s not Leonhard’s fault!”
“Is it really so?”
Leonhard replied bitterly, frowning.
“I remember everything vividly. I want you to die… I never doubted that you were a warlock.”
“That…”
Even though she was about to say something, Celine shut her mouth. It was because she couldn’t reveal to him that this world was a game.
“Even in the foresight I saw, I killed countless people. All of them probably looked like warlocks to me.”
Leonhard stared at Lute Carl.
“You are right. I had already tasted the curse, so I constantly doubted myself. Probably until the moment the curse is completed.”
“Even when the curse is complete, Leonhard will still be Leonhard.”
With her clear voice, both the men looked at her.
“I know. What was Leonhard’s original future like, and what was the future that Lute Carl originally saw as a child.”
Celine recalled the villain, Leonhard, who had been chasing her in the game. Clearly, there were many differences between the game she played and the future she saw in the form of the game.
“A lot has changed.”
“The fact that you killed Lord Leonhard wouldn’t have changed.”
“Yes, but it has changed enough to give me hope.”
“….?”
“Looking at how much things have changed so far… even the fact that I killed Leonhard can be changed, right?”
“That’s ridiculous…!”
“Why not?”
Celine stared at Lute Carl.
In fact, what she just said was a bit distorted. When she saw the changed future, all she felt was despair. Her hopes rose from Leonhard’s words.
‘…Leonhard isn’t someone who would become a murderer.’
He said he would never kill any warlock because he was still haunted by the guilt and fear that he had killed Celine by external powers. It wasn’t just a trauma… it was a person’s choice to recognize and prevent the fact that his own judgment could be wrong and lead to innocent sacrifices.
How could such a person become a murderer who commits indiscriminately?
Even if the warlock’s curse was completed, it would not be more powerful than the effect the stage had on him. Future Leonhard could see everyone in the world as a warlock.
Still, he wouldn’t kill anyone.
Even now, when he received death threats, he had declared that he would not kill a warlock.
“…If that is your choice.”
Lute Carl also seemed to have made his choice.
As soon as he said that, Celine could feel the flow of magic flowing from all sides of her. Even though she hoped that he would be able to block the magic, Leonhard only put his hand on Rashir’s handle and stared at Lute Carl with a hard face.
‘I have to step in.’
Fortunately, the magic she gained from her last contact with Lou was still in her body. Celine swung Ringzor, pouring the last of her magic towards Lute Carl. She somehow had to stop him before he became a warlock… not for her or Leonhard, but for Lute Carl.
However, Lute Carl easily caught her attack.
‘Ah…’
Celine groaned inside. She realized a problem she could not solve. If Leonhard taught her how to fight, it was Lute Carl who taught her how to use magic. Of course, he would be able to see through the patterns of magic she used.
The situation was bad for her.
After a while, sweat clouded her eyes, but she didn’t even have time to wipe them. It was then that Leonhard’s firm hand pulled Celine back.
“Leonhard!”
There was even anger in her voice.
Celine could hold out a little longer. No, she had to hold on.
“…Take a look.”
Leonhard lowered his head slightly so that Lute Carl couldn’t hear him and whispered in her ear.
“….?”
Celine looked at Lute Carl.
Only then was she able to discover facts that she hadn’t noticed when fighting fiercely, competing every minute and every second.
‘Ho, how…’
Lute Carl’s magic increased even more as if he had absorbed her magical power. Fortunately, a dark aura was not felt yet, but it would only be a matter of time. It was only then that Celine realized that her own fight was nothing more than helping Lute Carl transform into a warlock.
‘….’
Celine bit her lip.
Although she needed a means to subdue Lute Carl in one shot, she couldn’t think of it at all.
“Why did you stop?”
“…Because I don’t want to be a helper.”
Lute Carl’s mouth curled up.
“Not much will change, Lute Celine. It’s just the difference between being a little faster or not.”
“….”
Celine bit her lip and took a step back.
Her body won’t die anyway, so if Lute Carl tried to kill Leonhard, she could just throw her body to stop him. She didn’t care how many times she could die in the process. Her body has died countless times anyway. Nonetheless, she couldn’t put her decision into practice.
Suddenly, Leonhard strode toward Lute Carl.
“….!”
Celine’s eyes widened.
