Chapter 189: The Beginning of Heaven and Earth (3)
Centurias Region.
The Order’s Headquarters.
Pluto, who had landed in the middle of the Order, looked at the angels who were approaching from afar.
They were countless angels who were flying to attack the Order.
Their number was so immense that it was impossible to estimate with the eye or the hand.
A staggering number of angels were flying towards the Order with their sights set.
The angel who led the front flapped his huge pure white wings and shouted in a loud voice.
-“Punish the ones who disturb the order!”
Crackle. Sparkle.
A white flash of light emanated from the angel’s hand.
The flash that the angel unleashed exploded with a blast and flew towards the Order.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the upper part of the warehouse flew away and was reflected in Pluto’s sight.
A thick smoke spewed out, and numerous fragments scattered and poured onto the ground.
The Order’s believers who remained under the collapsing debris screamed.
“Kyaaak!”
“O, O great one! Please protect us!”
The screams of the believers echoed all around.
Leaving them behind, Pluto looked at the Deathscythe in her hand.
The Deathscythe that had a blue haze was now gripped in her hand.
With a faint sigh, Pluto glared at the enemies in front of her.
What she saw in her sight were undoubtedly angels.
“…”
The messengers of God.
They were the ones who wrapped themselves in a nauseating divine power and tried to invade this place where she stood.
Even though they were not enemies that remained in Pluto’s memory, for some reason, intense emotions boiled in her chest.
She did not know what those emotions that tickled her heart were.
But she vaguely understood that they were traces of what she had lost so far.
-“Annihilate the humans who have fallen into evil!”
Following the angel who gave the order at the front, the voices of countless angels rang in Pluto’s ears.
The windows of light flew in and stabbed into the buildings of the Order one by one.
Pluto swung her Deathscythe to fend them off, but there were too many angels for her to block completely.
Bang! Bang!
Screams and explosions resounded everywhere.
In the dizzying haze, a desperate cry for help shook Pluto’s ears.
“Master! Please save us!”
“O great one!”
Sharp voices that tore my ears.
Among them, I recalled my name.
Pluto Astraia.
Long ago, I engraved that name in my heart, one letter at a time, as countless people cried out for me.
I drew in my mind the past self who was satisfied with hearing the name that praised me.
“…”
Someone called my name a great one.
Another one called it a cursed name.
Either way, it was a name that showed how great Pluto Astraia was.
I lived through many eras and led many people.
Even though I don’t remember anything now, there were many documents that recorded how amazing the progenitor of vampires was.
“…Angels.”
And there were common descriptions in those documents.
The vampires who followed me were slaughtered by the angels who descended from heaven and the human forces who followed God.
And even Pluto, who lost the war, was sealed by a stake that suppressed her life.
The heavenly gods always hated me and my bloodline.
It was the same even now.
I don’t know why they hate vampires forever.
The reason would not remain in the memories that disappeared in time.
“You really…”
Maybe it was because I was a cursed life that was not allowed to die.
Maybe it was because my clan was too strong unlike the weak races.
Or maybe——.
“Always the same…”
I erased the countless thoughts that came to my mind.
The reason was not important.
They always claimed to follow God’s will.
The priests who drove stakes into the hearts of vampires always acted on behalf of the God they served.
“They are trying to destroy what I love.”
Vampires always earned the hatred of the gods.
Those who could not look up at the sun directly, they suffered from the curse of the gods and spent the night curled up.
And in the end, their lives were taken away by God’s minions.
She, who was born as a loner, became a loner again after many times had passed.
Now they were trying to destroy another home that was given to her.
“I still don’t know why——.”
I couldn’t tolerate it.
I couldn’t let them have their way anymore.
So, Pluto Astraia decided to reveal her fangs.
She decided to show herself fully to the world, instead of hiding herself from the eyes of others.
At this moment, it was her mission from her master to protect those who were here.
-“How much do you want to take away?”
She stabbed her nails into her chest, leaving her Deathscythe on the ground.
Swoosh.
A drop of blood fell to the ground with a creepy sound.
Thud. Thump.
The falling blood drop reflected the image of the progenitor who put her hand into her heart.
She looked sad in the red blood drop.
Even though she had no memories of losing something completely in her head, she looked sad for some reason.
-“Don’t ruin what I love.”
The blue earth was covered with blood.
The red blood that spread on the ground scattered around and started to create a carpet of blood that suited the great progenitor.
A red crown of thorns settled on her head, and a strange howl like a beast roaring echoed everywhere.
In the crimson world, red wings sprouted on Pluto’s shoulders.
She revealed her lordly face to the world that she didn’t want anyone to see.
-“Bow to the great Astraia.”
-“Bow to the great Astraia.”
-“Bow to the great Astraia.”
-“Bow to the great Astraia.”
Her people, who had disappeared in a single line in the long history, shouted the name of their king.
The screams that came out of the red blood were the history that she had lost long ago.
They had lost their flesh and their souls, and until the end, they called out the name of their king and waited for her return.
Hearing the voices calling for her, Pluto stepped on the red carpet and moved forward.
-“Bow to the great Astraia.”
It was the same in the past and now.
Someone called out her name and waited for her to step up.
Someone turned to ashes in front of her eyes, and another one bled and screamed in front of her.
She was Pluto Astraia then and now.
Pluto Astraia, the noble and great one that everyone on the continent feared.
-“She’s the progenitor of vampires! Take her down first!”
The angel who saw Pluto coming forward shouted.
It was a loud voice.
Pluto looked at the angel who spoke with her eyes filled with bloodlust.
They dared to look down on her from heaven, without knowing their own place.
-“I won’t let you do that.”
The world that was reflected in her burning eyes was disgusting.
It was ugly, vile, and nauseating, and she wanted to destroy everything without leaving anything behind.
In that world, Pluto Astraia spread her wings of blood.
The progenitor who did not tolerate anyone looking down on her, gave up her nobility and soared to the sky.
“Kwaaak——!
And then, she tore the neck of her prey like a blood-soaked beast.
Crunch.
The thin life was cut off.
In front of the predator who did not know death, life was very insignificant.
***
The Hero of Harmony, Naias, opened her eyes in the midst of a deafening explosion.
As she got up from the bed, still half-asleep, the first thing she saw was a burning building.
The ceiling that had blocked the rain was torn away, revealing a desolate sky. And in the darkened sky, a storm was raging.
Crash!
A lightning bolt fell from the sky and shot down something unknown in heaps.
In the chaotic situation, Naias smelled the blood that stung her nose.
“…Ah.”
She threw off the blanket and got out of bed, walking on her own legs.
She felt a strange distortion in her sight, as if her dreams and reality were mixed for a long time.
Was it a dream? Or was it real?
She was wrapped in a drowsy haze that blurred the boundary.
“You look sleepy.”
In the faint border, someone’s voice whispered in her ear.
Naias shook her head to shake off the drowsiness that weighed on her mind.
But the fatigue that enveloped her did not go away easily.
As she felt another wave of sleepiness, Naias rubbed her eyes and opened her mouth.
“I guess I’m still dreaming.”
The dragon’s sleep was longer and darker than that of humans.
They were born with a long lifespan, but they had to spend it in a boring sleep.
Although Naias had gained spirituality, she could not escape from the influence of the artifact that disturbed her sleep cycle.
Just as she was about to fall asleep again, thinking everything was a dream.
Someone’s voice woke her up from her haze.
“It’s not a dream.”
“…”
“What you see is not a dream at all.”
Naias moved her head towards the direction where the voice came from.
She saw a black-haired girl holding an umbrella in her sight as she turned her head.
The girl smiled brightly and looked at Naias.
Naias asked the girl in front of her.
“Who are you?”
“Well. It’s a bit difficult to tell you my name.”
She was a strange woman.
Her atmosphere and her playful tone were both odd.
And the place where she was now was also an absurd place.
That’s why Naias wanted to ignore what the girl said.
“…I don’t have time to play along with your joke.”
“Hmm… Do you think I’m joking right now?”
“If you’re not joking, then reveal your identity.”
Even though she was abandoned by the holy land, she was still a hero chosen by the goddess of harmony.
She was not someone to be ignored by a mere human.
As Naias took a firm stance and waited for the girl’s answer, the girl stepped forward with a smile on her face.
Click. Clack.
The sound of her shoes echoed in the mysterious space.
“Do you really want to hear it? You might regret it.”
“I don’t care. Whatever your identity is, you won’t be a threat to me.”
“You’re quite confident, aren’t you?”
The girl with a relaxed look came closer to Naias.
The distance between them was gradually shrinking, but Naias did not bother to stop her.
The dragon race boasted a toughness that could not be pierced by any ordinary attack.
That was why the hero of hunting decided to waste time when he came to find her.
“…Are you insulting me right now?”
“I don’t like children who can’t recognize their master.”
“You, who are you…!”
Suddenly, the girl who came close to her touched Naias’s forehead with her finger.
Thud.
Naias’s consciousness was cut off with a sensation that shook her head.
After that, what Naias faced was a dark swamp that had no end.
