Chapter 123
"My knight... how could you betray me..." The goddess's voice, sadder than ever before, revealed her grief.
"You were meant to be mine..." The despair in her voice, coupled with her overwhelming presence, weighed heavily on my shoulders.
"But... why would you mix with another woman...?" The reality was too abhorrent to bear, yet the target of my disgust was someone I could never hate.
"Yes... you didn't want this, did you?! Of course, you didn't! But that woman beside you must have seduced you, there's no doubt about it!" Despite this, the clear intent to kill in her words froze me in place.
"That sly vixen... I won't let her be...!" Even though her anger wasn't directed at me, Eleonora's outcry made me feel as though I was being pushed back.
Then, a blinding white light emitted from her fingertips, and instinctively, I knew. If touched by that light, I would be erased as if I never existed in this world—down to the smallest particle, smaller than anything I could imagine.
"Meet your end for coveting what is mine!" Her voice, filled with resentment, was almost a tearing scream.
"Yura?! Shouldn't we escape?!" While my instinct was to flee from this impending death, Yura stood calmly, seemingly unaware of the danger of the light. Did she not realize what it was?
In that moment, Yura seemed to prepare herself, took a deep breath, and then released a stream of fiery flames towards the approaching light.
