I Was Sick of Loving You - I Was Sick of Loving You chapter 48

48 – Place of Revelation

Seven weeks have passed since I entered the land of sand to seek the miracle of revelation. After a short time, if short, we had our destination right in front of us.

That fact made his steps lighter, and he diligently moved on with his lighter steps.

The moment came when the slightly tilted sun touched the ground, and our steps stopped. And I looked around.

The sea of sand, no different from the usual scenery. That was the end. I looked at the sight and looked at the map that marked our location and destination.

A point that exactly matches the destination. Even when he looked around again, he saw nothing but sand.

“Brother, is there something wrong?”

“I arrived at my destination, but nothing was there.”

At Rachel’s question, a weak voice came out of her mouth.

“Brother, can you show me the map and the book you have been transcribing?”

At her words, I handed over the map and the book. When she received them, she began to examine them closely. Seeing that it seemed like it would take some time, I looked at Iris who didn’t say anything.

She, looking a little pale, comes into my eyes. Concern creeps up again at that appearance, but I couldn’t ask more because I kept saying it was okay from three days ago.

He didn’t say anything, just worried in his heart.

Thinking so, he looked at Rachel again, and saw her slashing his wrist with a dagger and spraying blood. The moment he reached out to grab her hand, the world shook.

The world shook, and there was a light sound from below, and a strong sandstorm blew. The strong sandstorm blocked my vision, and I closed my eyes in the swaying world and waited for the wind to stop.

After a while, the strong wind died down and the sight returned. When I returned, a huge golden building caught my eye. When I was distracted by the sight, Rachel approached me with a slightly arrogant expression.

“I do this much!”

“Yeah, well done.”

Her arrogant expression and tone made me feel a little strange, but I praised her innocently because I found my destination thanks to her. I felt that her expression became a little more arrogant when I praised her like that.

Leaving behind her strangely arousing expression, I turned my eyes towards Iris. Without shaking off the sand from her hair, we saw her approaching us.

“Is that your destination?”

“It seems so.”

“finally…”

Her last words tinged a little. It was transmitted to my heart as well, and it was dyed.

“Brothers and sisters. Go quickly.”

“Yes, I will.”

At Rachel’s urging, we moved on. Approaching the huge building, there was a writing written on a stone statue of a woman with wings on her back. Wandering around the world, I thought I’d seen all the letters. The writings written on the stone statue were the first characters he had ever seen.

“It’s the first letter I’ve ever seen.”

At Iris’ reaction, which was no different from mine, I looked at the silent Rachel. She looked at the letter carefully and opened her mouth.

“Challengers who came here in search of a miracle, I don’t care who you are. I simply welcome you all and acknowledge that you are entitled to enter. But before you go in, keep three things in mind.”

She cleared her throat for a moment and then opened her mouth again.

“Those who challenge once will lose the qualification to challenge forever. To obtain the second miracle, you must overcome trials. And in the process, you will get an indelible wound. Third, think again whether what you desire is really what you really want.”

After that, her words came to an end, and I let out a question.

“Rachel, could you read this?”

“of course! I don’t know how you looked at me, but I’m a competent Dark Elf.”

Seeing her talking with her hand on her chest with an arrogant expression on her face, I thought she was asking for nothing. A slightly sarcastic tone came out at the thought.

“Yes, yes, great.”

“I’m kind of amazing.”

Even though he said it with a sense of sarcasm, the arrogant expression did not disappear, but rather thickened. I felt a little twisted in my stomach.

“Anyway, let’s go in.”

“yes~.”

As we stepped to the door, a stone statue moved and blocked our way. Then he reached out his hand toward Rachel and spat out words he couldn’t understand.

“Rachel, what did the statue say?”

She looked away, was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth.

“That’s… I’m not qualified.”

She said and scratched the back of her head. Seeing that, I couldn’t open my mouth.

“I think I have been here a long time ago. lol.”

When she said that, she laughed bashfully. I was dumbfounded by the words and appearance, and countless questions passed through my head.

“Once upon a time, when?”

“It’s okay to say that.”

As she said that, she averted my gaze. Then they met their eyes again and frowned.

“On second thought, I think that question was too much! How can you ask a girl a question to guess her age!”

I was a little taken aback by that statement. Like Dark Elves and Elves, hundreds of years are easy, and Jangsaeng servants who live for over a thousand years don’t care about age. Even though I was dumbfounded by her anger, I apologized without thinking because it was obvious that it would bother me if I said that.

“Yeah, I’m sorry.”

“Because he is a brother, he takes special care of him.”

“Okay, thank you.”

As we were having an unflattering conversation, Iris came between us and opened her mouth to look at Rachel.

“Rather than that, if you came here, do you know what the trials are written on the statue?”

Rachel’s expression hardened a little at her words.

“I know. But, it’s different for each person, so I can’t explain it.”

“Right.”

“Ah, but if I have to tell you one thing, if it’s hard, just give up. I mean it.”

I nodded at Rachel’s serious expression and voice. And he opened his mouth to confirm the most important thing.

“Apart from trials, are there really such things as miracles?”

“I haven’t seen that myself, but I’ve seen people who have taken miracles.”

It bothered me that I had never seen her in person. I care because she also desperately wanted something, and it means that she failed.

“Brother. Are you making that face because of my failure?”

I tried to fix my expression at her words, but it didn’t work out.

“Don’t make that face. It’s an old story. I can’t even remember anymore.”

She spoke brightly, but for some reason it didn’t feel bright.

“Anyway, be careful, and if you can’t handle it, just give up.”

Saying so, she pushed us on the back.

“I will be waiting here.”

Seeing her waving hello, I rummaged through my bag and handed her a generous amount of water and food.

“I don’t know how long it will take, but eat sparingly.”

“Yes!”

Seeing her energetic reply, I felt deja vu for some reason. Feeling a sense of déjà vu, I took a step forward.

After Rachel fell out, the stone statue blocking the door moved back to its original position. Iris and I passed the stone statue and reached for the door.

A cold touch came through, and light emanated from the door. A dazzling light enveloped us, and a slight pain crept into our hands.

The light disappeared with a slight pain, and a huge space appeared. In that huge space, a huge stone statue of a man with a laurel crown on his head occupied his place. There was a little light in the statue’s eyes, and a muffled voice was heard.

“Challengers who came all the way here in search of a miracle, welcome you.”

I was relieved at the words that I could understand unlike the stone statue from earlier.

“Challengers, if you are ready for a challenge, come to me.”

At that, I looked at her once. She also looked at me, and our eyes met. I couldn’t find any shaking in the eyes I met. Seeing that, I nodded, and she nodded too.

Confirming each other’s feelings with our own eyes, we stepped in front of the stone statue. Approaching the huge stone statue, a hole appeared in the floor and something like a pedestal came up.

“Prepared challengers, get your hands on it”

I reached out my hand to the stone statue’s horse and felt a sharp pain. Along with the pain, blood flowed from his hand. The spilled blood soaked the pedestal, and the light hovered around the laurel crown. And the stone statue’s face moved to look at me.

“Those who shoulder a special karma and constantly challenge karma. Because of your special situation, your trials will be extremely heavy and cruel. Will you still take on the challenge?”

The stone statue called me by incomprehensible names like the fallen saint and Armis. It seemed to warn them of a difficult ordeal and to urge them to quit.

His instincts felt uneasy at that appearance, but since he had sworn to save her, he couldn’t give up because of his anxiety.

“Even so. I will challenge you.”

“I will accept your wishes.”

Light emanated from the eyes along with the stone statue’s words, engulfing us.

“I wish you luck. virtuous one.”

With the voice of the stone statue, my vision was scattered, and a familiar sight came into my eyes. A display case and alcohol located in one corner. Swords adorning one wall. And the portraits of the children, me, and Iris decorating the opposite wall.

This is my room in my last life.
