For You This World I'll Destroy

Rigor Mortis (End)

Very good Hwarang, their work is very fast. Though only the morning news of Verrel's death was spread, they had already surrounded Lumina's tower complete with their magic rifle. From behind the shadow of the alley, Arthur and I watched the moments where Lumina surrendered and were paraded through the ranks of the nameless District residents. Everyone looked at the doctor with disappointed and angry looks, especially the two Verrel parents.

“Oh so apparently, I told you, Lumina should have made a written agreement with the two humans. Human words cannot be held,” my murmur folded hands and leaned against the wall.

Arthur had prepared to jump in and finish off Lumina, but I immediately pulled the rash boy's collar and slammed him on the ground.

“Ke-Why is Brother blocking me?” asked Arthur, annoyed.

“Ya clear! I want to protect Lumina from you, Arthur. After all, now is not the time,” muttered me who then pointed my eyes at the shadows that appeared watching Lumina on the roofs of the houses reok there, “When I want to save Lumina, I want to, then we should wait for the dogs to slaughter all the Hwarangs, before escorting Lumina to Tartarus, Prison of the Witches.”

“Dog…? You mean, The Fenrir?”

I nodded, “Tartarus is famous as the safest place in the world. Once you go inside, not a single light will reach you, let alone a human. That was why, the moment they knew Lumina would enter it, the Fenrirs would definitely act.

When they come out, we can finish them all off at one time.”

Arthur swallowed his saliva, “Good plan,” he said.

I didn't answer, but kept watching the shadows on the roof. Something is running in my heart. Until now, I could not find an answer as to why Lumina was hunted by her own people. Strange, illogical, because if the Black Company wanted to rule the world, wouldn't it be by helping Lumina, that they could attract people's sympathy with Lifebane? Or is it possible that this Nyght Plague....is not a failed magic sting?

Why would a Matrovska like Arthur be after his life?

Before I could answer the question, I heard a loud leg. The shadows on the roof immediately shot towards Lumina and made everyone panic. Agilely, the dogs with the scythe and the short sword finished off the hwarangs one by one. But let my eyes search among the panicked crowd of humans, the one magician controlling the undead army.

“Frank!” I said that immediately darted, towards the magic line that controlled the dozens of undead that ravaged the city. I sharpened my dagger and immediately jumped against the witch, but before the dagger could touch her neck, three scythe came against my path.

“T-Master Princess?” said Lumina who was surprised to see my dagger fingers almost took her life.

“Lumina…? Y-You, this—!”

A flash of light appeared under our feet. The light quickly arranged itself into an enormous magic diagram, confining myself and Lumina within it. I was shocked to read the magic relief. Silentia Disperium, a magic that negates any kind of magic in it.

A magic protector stood up straight, circling the gigantic magic diagram. Arthur jumped into the magic circle and with him, all the shadows Lumina controlled fell helplessly. Fear was evident from Lumina's eyes, when she saw Arthur finish Artemisia on her.

“Arthur. You only need information from Lumina, right? U-Uhh, about Chronostoria Noctis? You don't have to kill her,” guess I'm the one protecting Lumina behind my cover.

Arthur grunted amusedly, “So don't you really think so? Though I thought Brother was smarter than that evil witch, I guessed him as a Matrovska. But it turns out, brothers are just as stupid,” he said yenga raised his shoulders, “You must not know, too, that the little witch is just bait for me to trap you in this magic. Whereas from the beginning, my target was only one, The Moon Daemon.”

From Arthur's shadow appeared eleven other warriors. A golden dragon pin was proudly displayed on their chest, the mark of the strongest warrior division in the world, Matrovska. Like a unit, the twelve soldiers drew their swords at me.

“... Why are you doing this? I-I believe you, Arthur. Didn't you yourself say, we can start a new life?” I said that it was trying to get close to the man, but it was immediately prevented by the worried Lumina.

“Ya, that's right. But the new leaf will not begin, if the old book is not completed first,” said Arthur who shot at high speed, preparing to slam Artemisia in my heart. Blown by the wind, the illusory magic in Arthur's eyes disappeared. A damned mark that brings nostalgia to my heart also unfolds with it.

The Hero's Curse.

Without waiting any longer, Arthur has been beating my heart. Embrace myself as I whisper sweetly in my ear, “Death, so that Ideal White's magic can be realized, oh, Big Brother who has snatched everything from me, Moon Daemon.”

Arthur pulled out his sword and along with it, my blood gushed. Too shocked to feel the pain, my body was lying on the ground. The coldness of the ground absorbed the warmth of my body, my eyes also grew darker and darker. Only Lumina's sad face was seen as she shook my body and tried to save my life. But. it's all for nothing. Artemisia is an anti-magic sword that can destroy the heart of a Malaakh Daemon. Without my heart, this body would die.

At what crossroads did I take wrong?

Why is it only bitter destiny that awaits in my life?

… Die in the hands of the child I wanted to protect so badly? Just kidding. Looks like you're right, Nyghtingale. I'm so caught up in this family game that I'm blind to everything.

What a cynical comedy of gods.

“Hahahahahahaha!” my laughter stood up. White roots sprouted from my chest, covering up all the blood that poured out of it. My blood slowly gathered on my back, spreading out enormous branch wings. My facial muscles seemed interested, showing the most cynical smile and sharp rows of fangs. I emitted a huge magic vibration, destroying all the magic of the anchovy class away from me.

“I am the Moon Daemon, the Devil who will destroy this world. You really think you can kill me that easily?” I said that the roots of the tree of the world were rained down on the eleventh of Matrovska except Arthur.

The foolish man still drew his sword and slashed at me, but I easily caught his sword with both of my fingers. I forced his eyes to look at both of my demonic irises, as I reached into both of his cheeks. Smiling at my satisfaction, blushing my cheeks upon seeing her extremely frightened face. It was exciting, after all this time I was able to release the darkness that I had been harboring in my heart. Aaah, when was the last time I was able to look at him this close? The child born of adultery between my brother and my fiancee, whom I raised with my own hands.

My Arthur but not mine. The boy who gave me the color of my life and took it. The most stupid and ignorant people in the world.

“Honey, all this is just a simulation.  All of this is just a magic called Sucubian Dream in your mind. When this whole illusion disappears, you will wake up in my bed and wake up. The difference in strength between us,” said I clawed that face with my sharp fingernails.

“M-Why do you always go against your destiny, Moon Daemon? If you die in my hands, then I can realize Ideal White and end the suffering of this world!!” arthur forced himself.

“If you can defeat me, then I will give you the answer,” I said who then kissed Arthur's forehead and knocked down the illusionary magic that ruled him.

The darkness in my heart was extinguished, when I could finally smile bluntly as Arthur's body slowly disintegrated like dust along with the rest of the world.

“Be even stronger, Arthur the Hero. Before this darkness swallows me too deep.”

--------------- + -----------------

I woke myself up at the checkout table and a black cat holding my hand in the middle of the magic sign separating us. Danius' confused gaze soon dawned on me, that I was now in the real world, the night after I had saved Arthur from the Fenrirs. Blood cries flowed from my right eye, along with the loss of vision from that eye. But as with all the wounds on my body, the vision returned to its original state.

“We both saw it, right? Matrovska you mean Arthur. You don't have to worry, Danius, because their main target is not Lumina but me,” I said stretching my body.

Danius shook his head, “Until now, this Danius will not understand, how such a weak illusion magic can become a potent weapon in the hands of Princess.” he said.

I rested my cheek in my hand and said, “Ah, what I did was nothing. Just plowing wet dreams from smelly youth, connecting them with our minds through simple Succubian Dream magic. It's just a doang, hihi. More than that, my gift?”

Danius squinted his eyes and kept Quartz away from me who had been drooling at him.

“Enak. As long as there is no clear evidence, Danius will never give this stone to Princess.”

Suddenly there was a noise above, followed by an open window. Smile at me and point it at Danius, “That should be proof. Now you don't have to worry, just enjoy your Q time with Lumina. Just so you promised me, keep him away from me if you don't want Lumina's life in danger.”

Although Danius looked reluctant, in the end the cat complied and gave the Quartz to me. Like a dark shadow, the cat disappeared without a trace, leaving questions I did not want to know. Just like me, Danius was disappointed in Arthur. For the son whom he had raised, now drew a sword upon his family.

My eyes glanced at the two glasses near the magic stove. The cup of coffee that Arthur and I enjoyed at dusk in the dream. All are like powerful illusions, but then disappear quickly when they collide with the truth.

“Now, what will I do with this stone, hmm?” my murmur stared resplendently blue from the beautiful magic stone in my hand.
