At the end of Lena’s words, silence fell into the room.
Ian hardened his face and recalled his memories with Grace, who lived in a cave with him a thousand years ago.
He decided to keep that memory deep in his heart.
So that it won’t hurt him any more.
And, he wouldn’t want to be a human either.
“I won’t drink your blood anymore, Charlize.”
“So you’re giving up on becoming a human after listening to Lena and me?”
When Charlize asked sourly, Ian stared at her and replied.
“I just want to live a little longer in this world that Grace has created.”
Ian did not show much obsession with Charlize, even though he knew she was Grace’s reincarnation.
That’s because Ian liked Grace, not Charlize.
If it wasn’t Grace, he isn’t interested in her reincarnation.
This was Ian’s conclusion.
“So you’re going to quit being a Demon Hunter too? Brother Eugene will probably go crazy.”
“It’s none of my business whether he goes crazy or not.”
Ian shrugged his shoulders and stepped away from Charlize. Now that he quitted being a Demon Hunter, he doesn’t need to be beside Charlize all the time.
He hadn’t seen his father in a long time, but he had seen a woman who is Grace’s reincarnation.
He’s satisfied with what he has seen.
Ian tapped Lua on the shoulder.
Lua had already penetrated Ian’s mind, so he turned his head calmly and stared at Ian.
“Father, I’m leaving now. My desire to be human has disappeared.”
“Did you really give up on becoming a human?”
“Yes, I have given up. I’m going to live in this world that Grace has left behind.”
“Do as you please. You don’t even listen to me well anyway.”
“Father, please keep Charlize safe.”
Ian fixed his eyes on Charlize instead of his father, Lua, and requested.
“You’re asking the obvious.”
Lua replied as if it was his duty to protect Charlize.
“Then I will part with you here. I think there’s still many things to see in the world that Grace has left behind.”
Ian said goodbye and tried to step out of the small room.
But Charlize suddenly called him from behind.
“Ian, are you sure you don’t want to be human? I heard you promised Grace to become human.”
“I am quite shaken to hear that from you, the reincarnation of Grace. But I think you should stop pursuing me Charlize. I won’t be a human.”
“Really? That’s too bad. If you want to become a human again, come find me. I’ll make you human for sure.”
“All right. Then I’ll take my leave. I’ll come visit you next time if I can. Everyone, goodbye.”
Ian nodded and disappeared from the spot, using teleportation with his demonic power that was reduced to more than half.
Whish!
A great wind blew briefly in the room.
Something cracking could be heard.
Charlize frowned and looked at the place where Ian had sat.
The demonic power seemed very convenient.
She would ask Lena later if she has the power of God.
“Wow, the demonic power is very convenient.”
Lena, who thought the same thing as Charlize, couldn’t help but admire Ian as she saw him disappearing.
“I wish Dark Sorcerers had that kind of power. It’s so convenient. With my measly evil energy, far from teleporting, I have to move on my own.”
“…Lena, do I get any power as a God?”
“You do. If you become a God, you can receive God’s power from heaven. The power of God is more powerful and convenient than the power of demons.”
“Is it that convenient?”
“You can move all living things freely, you can go anywhere and enjoy your life. I’ve seen Grace doing that many times.”
“What kind of world did she want to live?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why don’t you know? You were always with her.”
“She ran away later.”
Lena’s relationship with Grace broke off a thousand years ago.
No, it was Grace who unilaterally broke up their relationship.
Lena and other Dark Sorcerers went crazy. They thought they were abandoned by their God, but did not look for Grace.
It was because Lena, the general manager of all the Dark Sorcerers, ordered not to find Grace.
Grace, who became free from her duty, lived and died among human beings.
Lena didn’t know in detail what Grace was doing after she ran away, but she was familiar with hearing rumours about Grace.
Rumours that one can become rich with just a flick of her hand.
This was wealth, one of her God powers.
God power was of many kinds.
Life, wealth, strength, desire, etc.
Like saving the person who is about to die with the power of life, or giving wealth to the poor.
However, the power was too excessive to be used by humans.
There are humans who use God’s power but don’t know how to control their greed. Those humans were always thirsty for more power from God.
To prevent this, Dark Sorcerer came forth and became God’s aides.
Lena did not care about Grace, who had already abandoned her aides and left for the world of humans and used her God power for them.
It was obvious that she would run away again even if she was brought back anyway.
Because Grace loved humans terribly.
However, the God who wants to be a human and live along humans was rather treated like a monster.
But Lena wasn’t sure of the information since she heard it through rumours.
Therefore, she didn’t know exactly why Grace died.
She happened to hear from another Dark Sorcerer that she died because she wanted to be a human and had to live the life of a woman who could be human.
But Grace’s origin was found out when she touched the holy water. After all, it’s the Dark Sorcerers who were managing the holy water.
That’s when Lena learned about Grace’s whereabouts after she ran away.
However, the Dark Sorcerers were only God’s aide and not God themselves. Therefore, even if they knew her whereabouts, they couldn’t chase her.
It was such a pity.
Lena felt regret pouring over just thinking about it.
Still, God’s reincarnation seemed a little different this time.
It was just amazing to see those golden eyes uninterested in everything around her. She was yawning in boredom as if even breathing was annoying to her.
Usually, it shouldn’t be the attitude of someone who becomes God’s successor.
Lena has so far observed 99 other souls in the body of Charlize.
They were also the owners of this world.
Whenever she said that, most of them would respond happily.
Is that true?
I… I’m a God?
If I’m a god, I would destroy the world.
There were various reactions, but they were unlike the 100th Charlize. This Charlize wanted freedom.
Just freedom from the characters Grace created.
She doesn’t want anything else.
That means the 100th Charlize is…..
Lena was excited at the thought of Charlize being God’s successor and supporting her for the rest of her life.
Maybe this crazy God isn’t bad.
Lena tilted her head slightly staring at Charlize who was looking at her in silence.
A strand of platinum blonde hair stuck to Lena’s cheek.
Charlize opened her mouth, removing the hair that had turned white from the light on Lena’s cheek.
“Lena, I won’t run away from you or anything. So don’t worry.”
Charlize smiled faintly.
Lena blinked her eyelids slowly at Charlize’s words.
She felt like she was being loved.
It’s the first time this has happened.
What a soft feeling.
Lena had never craved or received affection from the cold Grace.
No, she didn’t know if it was affection.
Lena didn’t even understand why her sister loved her. It was her first time learning what affection was through Charlize.
Now.
As Lena was about to hug Charlize with her usual silly smile, Lua quickly stepped forward and hugged Charlize from behind.
“Lena. You are too dangerous. Stay away from Charlize.”
“I am not dangerous. Aren’t we on the same team Lua?”
“Don’t call me by my name. I will tear your mouth apart.”
“Then what should I call you? Mr. Devil?”
“Just don’t call me ever for the rest of your life.”
“Why? If you plan to stay with Charlize by her side for the rest of her life, then you’ll run into me a lot. So shouldn’t you at least have a name I can call you with even if we’re not close to each other?”
Lena’s abrupt remarks made Lua narrow his eyebrows slightly.
He didn’t seem to like Lena.
Seeing no other choice, Charlize intervened between the two to stop them from fighting again.
“Lua. Just agree with Lena. Don’t be stubborn.”
“Charlize…….”
“Lena is going to be with me for the rest of my life, so don’t worry. Why are you being jealous?”
“…It’s just that I’m worried Charlize would forget me. She would meet others and won’t remember me anymore.”
Lua let everything out that he had not been able to tell Charlize one by one.
“I love you so much that I think I’m going crazy, Charlize.”
At Lua’s light but obsessive confession, Charlize lowered her eyelids with a flutter.
‘Please be more obsessed, Lua.’
Charlize already accepted Lua as her own and wished he was more obsessed with her.
Because Lua belonged to her.
Charlize’s obsession towards Lua was also to a great length, though it is not obvious to the person involved.
Just because the people around you don’t know doesn’t mean it’s not true.
