I Was Sick of Loving You - I Was Sick of Loving You chapter 39

39 – Monsters and mystery stories

A woman who has taken over the space with her momentum alone approaches me. The closer the distance between me and the woman gets, the louder the scream that tears my instincts apart. A scream fills me, and beyond that, an inexplicable hostility rises.

Screams to run away mix with hostility to rush in and kill, but the body is frozen like a stone statue and does not move.

Because of his hardened body, he couldn’t even resist and was exposed to the gap between women. The woman reaches out and grabs my chin and stares into my eyes. In those eyes, I had the illusion that everything about me was being penetrated.

“A great soul was born with an unsightly body. It is my luck and your misfortune, so I am happy.”

The woman puts my chin down with an incomprehensible speech. At that moment, the momentum that had weighed me down disappeared, and vitality returned to my hardened body.

Vitality returned, and a cry of instinct opened the gap. Even with the distance widened, the screams of instinct did not disappear. Ignoring the screams, I surrendered to the hostility for no reason.

I threw the mace I was holding at the woman. The mace that flew towards the woman disappeared before closing on her, then appeared in her hand. The woman fiddled with the mace and opened her mouth.

“Mace. I haven’t heard from you in a long time. I broke a lot of people’s heads with this, and I miss it.”

When he said that he misses the memory of the murder, disgust rises. The woman looks at me like that and smiles eeriely. The mace disappeared with that eerie grin.

“What are you looking at so disgustingly? You were there too, but you’re doing too much.”

The woman I saw for the first time today spoke incomprehensible words. Ignoring the incomprehensible words, I drew my sword.

“Oh, I bet you don’t remember. So why did you reject the status of a demigod and surrender yourself to the bondage of death?”

Again, he pointed his sword at the woman who was spitting out incomprehensible words. The tip of the sword was caught in the woman’s hand.

“Even though he was reborn, he is still reticent. Or do you not even want to mix the words?”

I threw away the sword in my grasp and unleashed a fist. The fist was blocked by the woman’s fingertips.

“Even so, I would like you to say at least one word.”

Retrieving the blocked fist, he swung his leg and aimed at the woman’s ankle. The moment my foot touches the woman’s ankle, a foreign energy invades me. The alien aura started at my feet and disappeared after running through my body. And the hardened mana returned.

“It wasn’t fair, so I lifted the curse.”

Saying that, the woman lightly threw the sword she had grabbed earlier. He grabbed the sword thrown by the woman, put an aura on it and swung it in the shape of a half moon.

The aura-bearing sword collided with the woman’s fingertips, and the sword was shattered. Throwing away the broken sword, he stretched out his mana-bearing hand. The moment the woman and my hands touched, mana condensed and exploded. Along with the blue explosion, a sharp pain rushes in.

The moment I felt a sharp pain, a white hand broke through the explosion and grabbed my neck.

“No matter how ugly I was born, I was disappointed because it fell short of my expectations. Greenie, I will meet your expectations in a different way.”

The woman said that and raised her hand. When the woman raised her hand, the blood scattered on the floor rose into the air and flew towards the warriors in the form of thorns.

The warriors, like me from before, who were frozen and unable to move, could not even resist and vomited blood as they were stabbed by red thorns.

I couldn’t breathe at that horrific sight. I just wanted to deny the current situation.

“I like that expression.”

Saying that, the monster smiled disgustingly. I didn’t want to see it, so I averted my eyes.

“I didn’t break all the decorations, so don’t pay too much attention to that and focus on me.”

At the words of a monster who treats people as ornaments, my heart becomes cloudy.

“I will tell you an old story.”

The monster’s eyes are bent.

“You were so noble in the past. They did not forgive unreasonable violence, did not pass by the poor, and devoted themselves to peace. At the same time, he simply fulfilled his mission and did not want anything in return.

The monster was talking about a story I didn’t know.

“It compares too much with me, who was abandoned by the god I worshiped and came to hate the world. So, I hate you. I wanted to ruin it.”

The strength of the hand holding my neck grows stronger.

“By the way, my master spotted you. Thanks to that, I couldn’t destroy you with my own hands. I couldn’t have done it with my own hands because I lacked strength, but it was regrettable.”

The strength of the grip weakens.

“Assuaging that regret, I watched you fall apart. Your tears and screams as they were being destroyed were so sweet and beautiful.”

The disgusting monster has an ecstatic expression.

“I wanted to continue savoring its beauty, but you ran away to your death, unable to overcome your sorrow.”

The power of the grip becomes stronger again.

“You who killed my master and couldn’t find any more opponents. I couldn’t accept the fact that you, who was more noble than anyone else, ran away.”

The power of the grip becomes stronger. I’m short of breath

“Thanks to that, I was depressed for a while and lost all motivation.”

The strength of the grip weakens.

“Disappointed, I went through boring days that disturbed the god who had abandoned me. I came here today to do that, and I met you again.”

The disgusting monster’s hand touches my cheek, and after a while it falls away.

“At first, I couldn’t believe the near-impossible odds and your weak spirit. I thought it was just the reincarnation of a demigod.”

The power of the grip becomes stronger.

“When you see your soul through the eyes, you can’t imagine the joy.”

I don’t want to know about such disgusting things.

“By the way, your spirit is still strong, but now you are so weak that the excitement has cooled a little.”

The power of the grip becomes stronger.

“Even so, it doesn’t matter. There is a lot of time, and there are many ways to savor it. So, please look forward to it.”

The monster smiled disgustingly and let go of my neck. I was released from the monster’s clutches, but my body doesn’t listen.

“Since we’ve said everything we wanted to say, let’s enjoy an appetizer.”

The monster again makes strange noises and walks towards the fallen warriors. The body, which did not listen, automatically followed the monster. The monster and my body stopped in front of a warrior.

“Let’s start with interest.”

The sword that fell beside the warrior floats up and is held in my hand. Then the sword rises and descends toward the warrior’s neck. To resist that situation, I raise my mana. The descending sword stopped, and convulsions occurred in the body. And then, the pain that seemed to break my head hit me.

“If you resist, it will hurt a lot. Are you okay?”

Ignore the grinning monster’s words, endure the pain and resist. The pain intensifies as time passes, and the body screams.

The body begs to be freed from the pain, but it is ignored. It’s just one time, but I don’t want to kill a comrade who crossed the line of fire while fighting together. I don’t want to trample on the resolution I made when I saw the young warrior’s corpse.

With that in mind, I continue to struggle with my body and will.

Time passes, and the end of the scolding with obvious results approaches. Reason is paralyzed by the pain that attacks me as if to crush me, and mana, the driving force of resistance, is depleted.

He realizes that he has little time left to resist, but bites his teeth tightly and squeezes out will and mana. Nonetheless, the tip of the sword advances slowly toward the warrior’s neck.

In that situation, he opened his mouth that had been kept closed.

“Please… stop.”

I know this is meaningless. I know this will be to that monster’s amusement. However, not confident to face the soon-to-be cruel end, he dedicated his pleasure to the monster.

After my words ended, the sword stopped for a moment.

“I couldn’t hear it because it was too small. Can you say it again?”

The monster grinned hideously and spat out disgust.

“Please, stop.”

The monster’s disgusting grin deepens.

“If I quit, what will you do for me?”

“… I’ll do anything.”

I lied out of desperation.

“Anything… I’m hungry for something.”

stroke the monster’s jaw.

“It tastes good, but you are not qualified to trade.”

The monster said that and raised his hand. My hand goes up, and despair creeps in. Her hand goes down slowly, and mine goes down slowly too. The tip of the sword touches the warrior’s neck lightly.

An indescribable sensation is transmitted to the hand. I didn’t want to see the upcoming scene, so I closed my eyes.

“If you close your eyes, you can’t.”

As the monster spits out disgusting words, my eyes open. You can see the blood dripping from the warrior’s neck little by little. You can feel the breath of a warrior at the tip of the sword. And, despair consumes me.

The monster’s hand covers my trembling hand.

“Now that we are ready, let’s begin.”

“Let go of those filthy hands!”

After the monster’s words, it flies with a blue light along with the voice of a familiar woman. Blue light knocks monsters off. Then, a blue flame splits between me and the monster. The body that did not listen begins to follow the will.

As the body obeys its will, the sword is removed from the warrior’s neck and he turns to the source of the sound.

Iris with a lifelike expression and Rachel wearing blue flames caught my eye. The pitiful me was relieved by the sight.
