I Became a Framed Villain

209 – Final Battle (17)

I only realized this after arriving at the destination.

In the end, I can only soar to the sky by using the sacrifices of others as a stepping stone.

“…Sky, hurry.”

“…….”

“The only chance is now…”

If, as Narae said, he absorbs all body parts and becomes a divine being, he will certainly be able to defeat the evil in front of him.

But if that happens, what happens after that?

Pandora, who could not say anything, will now not even be able to see the light of the world and will live in darkness for the rest of her life.

Narae, who is in charge of the ‘body’ among the body parts and seems to have some memory remaining, will completely disappear as is.

Only with such sacrifice can I become happy.

But is that true happiness?

You may not know if it was in the past, but you can be sure of it now.

“Sky…!”

“……..”

“I don’t have time to sit idle!!”

Narae’s expression and voice begin to become more earnest.

This was because Ariel’s red sparks that were splashing everywhere from behind were being increasingly encroached upon by the blue life.

Probably, after a while, even this short gap will disappear completely.

So, the only chance is now.

– Kwasik…!

“Oh?”

With that thought in mind, as I began to tear off the piece that was fused with my heart, Narae’s eyes, who had been urging me on, widened.

“Sky… Ah? What are you doing now…”

“…There is no need to act anymore.”

“What?”

“Because I noticed that you have memories…”

I looked at her like that and quietly smiled at her, and then I started to use even more force to tear off the tongue.

– What? Wow…

“…Ugh.”

It was natural for the terrible pain to spread throughout my body.

Well, that would be the case if anyone were to rip out their own heart.

“Sky!?”

Meanwhile, Narae, who was staring blankly at me, urgently grabs my arm.

“Why on earth!?”

“Well… Why am I doing this…”

I felt like I needed to explain to her what she was doing, so I opened my mouth, but I also couldn’t come up with a clear answer as to the reason for her current behavior.

However, I was certain about the actions I was currently taking.

“…If you think about it, the reason everything started to change was because of you.”

“Wait, wait…!”

“Unlike the twisted me out there… I was able to come this far with the help and sacrifice of people around me…”

When I remember that, words start flowing out of my mouth.

“Can a person born with no choice but to become a villain… Become good?”

“No!!!”

“I feel like I just realized the answer…”

I never thought I would realize it until I got to this point. I guess I’m a really dull guy too.

“Just one love… Is enough.”

– Kkukdeudeudeudeuk…!

“Rang Haneul!!!!!”

With that thought in mind, the moment when I completely got rid of the pitiful expression on my face.

“Nonsense… Nonsense…”

Another startled voice of mine started coming from the front.

“It can’t be… It can’t be…”

– Crackling… Crackling…

“No matter how many times I tried, they all failed… Why… Why now…!!!”

When I quietly turned my gaze to the scream that was similar to the man’s scream, I saw something surprising happening.

– Kkukdeukdeukdeuk…

The cat that was taken out was suddenly sticking its tentacles into the flask and absorbing the body parts.

“Ugh?”

Now, instead of me, it’s attached to Narae’s heart.

“Now, wait a minute…”

That’s enough. I was worried that it might just swallow Narae up. Fortunately, he accurately understood my intentions.

“Ah, ah…”

Still, I’m a little worried. Surely Narae’s spirit won’t be eroded?

Although she is anxious, if her spirit is strong, she will be able to endure it well.

‘…I’m sleepy.’

With that thought in mind, I sat down and closed my eyes, feeling the pain that was starting to subside and the drowsiness that was creeping in.

“…………”

Soon a long silence covered the surroundings.

[The villain status is lifted.]

But as I was quietly losing consciousness, immersed in the silence, something appeared in front of my dark-stained eyes.

What on earth is this?

[Reason: Awakening the virtue of a hero]

I couldn’t read it because my consciousness was too blurred to see properly, but it was clear that something was changing.

[New abilities updated…]

[1% In progress…]

But before I could properly confirm it, what little consciousness I had left was soon completely cut off.

“Ha, ha…”

Narae, who had been trembling in pain for a long time, collapses in her seat covered in cold sweat.

“Ugh…”

On her back, huge wings sprouted high into the sky.

That wasn’t the only change in the body. Her eyes were suddenly shining gold, and a ring glowing red like a heart’s brain appeared on top of her head.

Also, the long tentacles that sprouted in the aftermath of merging with the heart of the river were moving around her as if fluttering.

Also, her clothes, which had been torn and shortened in the aftermath of the battle, had somehow stretched further and covered the floor like a dress.

It was as if she was seeing the appearance of a well-known angel.

“Nonsense… No way….”

“…Oops.”

She mutters with an expression of disbelief upon seeing the other Kang Hae-neul, who only succeeded in subduing Ariel, who was struggling to strike her.

“It wasn’t supposed to succeed like this… Why…”

– Sigh…

In the meantime, Narae slowly gets up, even though she is staggering.

– Turp, trudge…

For a while, she looked at her own body, which had been reborn as a great being, and then without saying a word, she began to move in front of her.

“…….”

She eventually falls to the floor, kneels again in front of her cold river sky, and quietly places her hand on his heart.

– Jureuk…

Tears begin to flow quietly from her eyes.

“…I tried so hard to prevent this ending.”

“……..”

“In the end… It ended up like this.”

The color of those tears is somehow red like blood.

– Sigh…

The tears that fell like that turned even the floor where Kang Ha-neul fell red.

“…So, do you feel a bit refreshed?”

Narae, holding the river sky in her arms, quietly raises her head and begins to mutter.

“An episode that could have had a completely happy ending… Ended up being a tragedy?”

“…………”

“Are you satisfied now!?”

She screamed, shedding tears of blood, but the sky, another river, was no longer paying attention to her.

“…Now that it’s come to this, there’s nothing we can do.”

She just returned to her usual emotionless expression and muttered.

“I have no choice but to continue the plan…”

– It’s hard to crack…!

The next moment, a cloudy azure energy surrounds Narae’s body.

“……..”

But unlike before, when she was ruled helplessly, Narae somehow remains steadfast.

“…!?”

Thanks to this, another river sky was shocked and tried to increase the output of her abilities, but Narae still glared at him and stood silently, holding the river sky in her arms.

“…I can’t believe it.”

Then, she quietly gritted her teeth and began to mutter, another river, Haneul.

“Could it be that she maintained her self-consciousness even after obtaining that body…?”

“……..”

“No… It can’t be… It should have been eroded a long time ago…”

Narae, who had been shedding bloody tears for a long time as she glared at him, soon began to rise into the sky with a blank expression on her face.

“…Then that’s right.”

After seeing that, another Kang Ha-neul looks slightly relieved.

“There’s no way I could remain conscious even if I had that power in my hands…”

– Kwajijijijik…!!!

“…Huh?”

But, as if those words were meaningless, dozens of tentacles immediately started rushing towards him.

“I’m sorry… I’m still self-conscious…”

“Tsk…”

Eventually, upon hearing Narae’s voice full of hatred heard from the sky, his expression completely distorted for the first time and another river sky began to bloom with a blue aura in his hands.

“You… Go downstairs…”

“”……..!””

Narae, who was quietly watching the scene, issued a warning to the two magical girls who were staring blankly at her with her wings fully spread.

“If you get caught up, it’s over…”

For some reason, an endless hatred was growing in her heart.

“…No, it doesn’t matter anyway?”

I wondered if that hatred would awaken the spirit of the great being that had been sleeping for a moment.

– Crackling…

Although it was gradually fading, Narae’s spirit, which remained clear, desperately tried to block it.

“It doesn’t matter…”

“…………”

“…This is the world that Haneul wanted to protect.”

If it weren’t for Kang Ha-neul, who was quietly lying in her arms with her eyes closed, this would probably have been impossible.

.

.

.

.

.

‘…It’s cold.’

My whole body is cold.

“…………”

When I quietly opened my eyes, it was dark everywhere.

Why am I here?

What were you doing just a moment ago?

“Ah…”

As I look up at the sky blankly thinking about that, memories of her come rushing back to me.

‘…I gave up my power to Narae and collapsed.’

So, is this hell?

Since I can’t go to heaven, I think hell is right.

Well, I have no regrets. Because it was a decision I was confident in and made on my own.

[Really?]

“……..?”

I was about to close my eyes again while thinking that, but a message suddenly appeared before my eyes.

[Really, you have no regrets?]

‘…What is it?’

Does the system usually follow you to hell?

Or maybe it’s just my fantasy.

Because this guy has never communicated with me.

“…………”

With that thought in mind, I tried to ignore the message and close my eyes again, but somehow, there was one thing that bothered me.

‘…Regret.’

I don’t know if it was a few months ago, but now I have something to regret.

‘Pandora… Narae….. And… Older sister.’

Pandora, who plucked out her own eyes because she could not speak, Narae, who was once again left in charge, and her older sister, who sacrificed her life.

If I regret leaving them behind, I regret it.

[I see.]

“…….?”

I was about to feel a bit confused because of this, but suddenly the message was updated.

What is it? Can you read my mind?

[Then, if…]

As I was staring at the system message with such confusion, I couldn’t help but widen my eyes.

[If you were given a chance to go back, what would it be like?]

What he suggested was truly unexpected.
