A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard

037. Lee Mae Mang-ryang

As Cosmos’ plan to seduce Endymion failed, he had no choice but to find another way.

He is a powerful wizard. It seems that a witch named Selene is also showing off her magic… Even if Cosmos ended up fighting her, he didn’t think he would lose.

He was so confident in his skills. He believed in the essence of magic he had accumulated over a not short period of time.

That kind of pride supported Cosmos to the point of burning an all-out war in case of emergency.

“Still, seeing life and death is embarrassing to me too.”

Death is an immutable truth that everyone fears. Cosmos was no exception to this. He is not confident that he will lose, but if there is the possibility of death besides that, he has no choice but to hesitate at least once.

So he struggled to find another way out of the cabin, rolling his head hard. He had to spend a lot of time on it. Even so, he was playing tricks on an opponent who could open a barrier.

Tick-tock- The hands of the clock are gradually declining, and if you can see the sun on the snowy field, it is already deep enough to cross the foot of the mountain.

Cosmos’s tightly closed eyes suddenly widened. He suddenly remembered a great secret plan that passed through his mind. Perhaps because of that, he immediately got up and headed somewhere in the room.

‘Yes… There was this.’

If you think about it, there was no such thing as this. Cosmos knew that this item was great, but could not easily use it, so this was also a series of worries.

What he held in his hand was none other than a crude dagger. Even the sword sheath was covered in a decent way, and the appearance was quite reasonable.

However, if a stranger sees it, he will not be able to understand the faint joy that appeared on Cosmos’ face.

That’s probably because you don’t know what variables an old dagger can give in a confrontation between wizards.

‘I can give it to you.’

I really don’t know about this dagger, so I can think of it. Cosmos, who knows the true value of daggers, treasured all sorts of sealing-related magic to the point of stacking them up and storing them deep inside.

‘Now you too can see the light.’

As for the origin of the item, it is clear that even Cosmos, who currently has a dagger, cannot clearly say.

The owner doesn’t even know where my stuff came from, so I don’t know what to say, but it was true. There was a reason why it had to be.

“I found it in the Wandering Dimension…”

He talked to himself and reminisced for a while. When I first found this dagger, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a series of coincidences.

I happened to enter the wandering dimension, a space of nothingness halfway between the world and the center of the world-

There, Cosmos said she found a dagger that had lost its owner, floating around by chance or inevitably.

‘I felt a strong attraction.’

Inevitability, destiny, and even excluding such a trivial string, the unresolved power of the dagger at the time made Cosmos shudder.

‘I don’t know who it belongs to… ‘

Cosmos had once thought that he must have been a great being who could not be surpassed by himself.

‘I don’t know if I come and compete with him now.’

As I said it was a long time ago, the level of Cosmos did not stand still at that time. Rather, he wanted to show great achievements and step forward.

‘Of course he wouldn’t have stayed still… It’s ridiculous to make comparisons with someone you don’t encounter much in your life anyway.’

Food and laughter leak out naturally. This was a possible laugh because Cosmos knew.

‘The person with this dagger died for some reason.’

Otherwise, it makes no sense that this dagger is in my hand right now. In the beginning, I was worried about it, but in the end, I said everything because nothing happened while living a billion years.

‘Anyway, it’s still a question… ‘

What must I do to ensure that such a great power resides within this small dagger?

I was genuinely curious about Cosmos. Even if it is small, it is a dagger with enough power to blow through a place that can be called a world….

Even the Cosmos, whose level has risen to the point where it can’t be compared to before, was far from grasping the source of power.

‘One thing is for sure, I can sweep the witch’s world with this power.’

No matter how grandiose it was, it was a nuisance, but I have to use it now. Cosmos’s face quickly spread into joy.

* * *

It was a season that would never come, and a flower that would never bloom. Even though I should have known that a long time ago, the cost of not realizing it was too great.

The feeling I felt when I heard the confession of love that didn’t contain even a handful of souls was indescribable.

For Selene, that moment seemed like an eternity. It must be because the lingering memories that did not easily go away lingered in her mind.

‘I thought it would be nice.’

To say I love you. How much I wanted to hear those words from Endymion’s mouth. But after hearing it, it couldn’t have been more miserable.

‘I… I thought it was okay.’

I was half expecting this. So, didn’t you proudly declare it in front of him?

‘I… I will make you like me.’

She shouted confidently, and in real life she was confident enough to do so. He knew of course that this kind of pain would accompany him in the process.

‘I know… But… ‘

However, unlike the ideal, reality is cruel. Selene prided herself on knowing him too, but she didn’t.

Endymion noticed such a fact in her love that was only words. In the end, she had no choice but to admit that she too. Deep down, she knew that if he loved herself too, he did.

“I’m serious.”

I’m not serious.

“I love you.”

I don’t love you… !

It was the first time in my life. Selene said she didn’t know that she herself would feel this kind of emotion for Endymion, and she was momentarily surprised.

But the sight of her smiling as she confesses her love through her lies is so hateful….

Pair-!

I did something I should never have done.

“…….”

With his head turned 90 degrees, Endymion could not easily look straight ahead again. His cheeks turned red. Seeing her palm on his cheek, Selene then realized that her own hand had moved, and her complexion went white.

But that was all.

I made a mistake? However, her open wounds made Selene’s beautiful eyelashes wet with tears.

She spat at Endymion with a pale, tired face, an expression that was easily confused, as if she was angry or disappointed.

“Uh, how…”

This single word “How” Contained all sorts of meanings. From asking how you could do that… , Why did I do this… ? How of the same embarrassment and so on….

However, all words can convey their original meaning only when they end with a sentence.

But Selene couldn’t do that.

When an immediate explanation wasn’t enough, she ran out of her room, covering her mouth with the hand she had slapped her beloved on the cheek.

Selene couldn’t afford to solve her misunderstandings, so what she chose was ‘run away’.

* * *

‘This is what happened….’

I dismissed it as a slim possibility, but this was not unexpected either.

‘Be bitter….’

My hand is so hot that the area that was hit is swollen and tingling. Perhaps because of the swelling, the feeling of heat intensified.

‘It’s something you have to endure….’

But since this cheek-worthy act was overflowing, Endymion had no particular reason to criticize Selene.

On the contrary, it makes me wonder how the violent woman left so blankly after barely slapping a slap on the cheek.

‘Why?’

I feel like there are so many things I don’t know lately. It will have to be solved later, but I was worried because there seemed to be a lot of unanswered questions in my life.

‘In the meantime, I closed the door and left….’

You seem like a thorough person.

Endymion, who was left alone with her friend, decided to close her eyes for a while. She wasn’t comfortable with his heart. It was to ask her to take a nap to soothe her mind and body.

I wonder if fatigue has accumulated quite a bit. Suma came quite early. He went straight to sleep without any waking up and had a dream.

* * *

The smell of blood brushing my nose. I looked around and there was blood everywhere.

The inorganic gaze briefly falls on the pile of corpses that piled up around it, then moves on to another place.

Dark sky. It was a very beautiful night with the bright moon shining.

-Hey, Bihyeongrang- Are you on your way to see Your Highness today?

A voice whispers in my ear. At that moment, Bi-hyeong had his eyes on the decapitated corpse among the piled up corpses.

-I wish… A mediocre soldier like me can’t even talk to His Highness for the rest of his life.

A soldier who used to talk to me about nonsensical topics whenever I passed by. As for what kind of person he was, he was just an annoying figure to Bihyeong.

It wasn’t a very memorable impression. If you just pass by, he was a common human being.

Yes, I did….

“…….”

It is an unfortunate fate. I didn’t want to see him do that.

Moreover… He didn’t even want it to be a ‘non-type’, a scene he made with his own hands.

“I’m afraid this scene… Will appear in my dreams.”

I can feel the movements of many ghosts. It must be their soul.

Bihyung half opened the dagger in his hand. Then he felt the air currents twist and the dagger harbored a group of free spirits ascending to the sky.

Clap-

Completely with the lead sword, Bihyung thought to himself.

‘No matter how treasonous… Is this right?’

Then suddenly, Bihyung looks up at the sky.

“…If I had a next life, if it wasn’t like this-“

If there is an afterlife as Buddhist teachings, I hoped that I would live an independent life that would not be swayed by others like today.

This was a dream that would never come true.
