Chapter 121: Forever and a Day (XIII)


    But if she regressed right away, wouldnt this tedious task of getting rid of this vige be meaningless?


    Once this vige is wiped out, it will be possible to regress.


    Of course, if she regressed to a week ago after destroying the vige with her own hands, this vige would be there.


    However, since the essence that shepleted through repeated regressions would be in a state where it hadpletely disappeared, the world would not copse.


    No I have to.


    All of that was her future and her home.


    But she couldnt let go of it, could she?


    In the worst case, if the world would continue to copse even if the vige was destroyed She would have no choice but to regress until she found a way.


    If that doesnt work


    Raisa shook her head nervously and bit her fingernails.


    Blood seeped out, but neither she nor the person in front of her cared.


    Compared to the sea of blood they would cause with their own hands in the future, that kind of blood wouldnt evene into sight.


    Raisa asked the person in front of her.


    So what are you going to do?


    I will set fires.


    What?


    If you set fires all over the vige and block the exit passages


    We will be able to cut off the heads of those who run away.


    Yes.


    Due to the location of the vige, the people definitely have a chance to escape.


    Because to begin with, she considered that when designating where to build this vige.


    Even if it wasnt now, it was a vige that would be eliminated if it served its purpose, so it was made easier to deal with.


    A remote ce with only one way to get to and from the vige, surrounded by inessible mountains.


    Fire.


    The idea was to burn the vige, but it would be difficult to actually set it on fire.


    It was apletely different story for the vige to quietly disappear just like how it had been created, and for it to burn and copse in public knowledge.


    Its the only way because time is tight and theres no support.


    Raisa didnt like it enough, but she nodded because she couldnt find another way.


    When will it be ready?


    Two days is enough.


    Make it a day.


    There were two days left at the end of the week she had requested from the emperor, but Raisa did not want to drag it on for too long.


    It was a ce she had already decided to get rid of, but now she would have to destroy the crystallization of her efforts with her own hands.


    If she looked at it for a long time, not only would she get annoyed, but she wouldnt know what other variables would arise.


    I dont mind using anything if necessary. In a day.


    At Raisasmand, the man bowed deeply.


    .


    A day to the week proimed by Raisa Neir.


    Should it be said it was time?


    This world had long since been twisted.


    It started twisting when Raisa first regressed.


    The crack created by the twist only grew bigger as regressions repeated.


    Contrary to Ophelia, Richard, and Raisas expectations, who all realized that the world was perishing.


    The world, once it started to copse, could not return to its original form no matter what, like broken ss.


    Now all that remained was to bepletely broken.


    A few minutes before Raisas order to set fire to the entire vige and destroy all people was carried out


    A secluded vige located in a kingdom far away from Raisas vige.


    What was unusual was that people were spending a normal and boring day in a ce where there was only a huge river that epassed the entire vige.


    Since the huge river was the center of their lives, they huddled together near the river even if they had nothing to do. Then, one of them blinked.


    He rubbed his eyes once and hit the arm of the person next to him. Hard.


    Ouch! What is it all of a sudden?


    The man hurriedly shouted without even looking back at the man who gave him pain.


    Excuse me! That! What the heck!


    The one who had been swearing at the man who couldnt properly speak was soon unable to say anything as well. His mouth dropped wide open when what he saw came into view.


    With a gasp, he yelled,


    What the hell is that! Why is the river turning red!


    Understandably, they were not the only ones who were shocked and taken aback.


    Oh, my!


    Kyaaaagh!


    Whats this!


    Oh, Mom! Mom!


    My God, my God! Oh God!


    A mor rang out. A mix of astonishment and screaming, shouting and bewilderment.


    Unbelievably, the river was turning red.


    Not just the river surrounding the vige, but streams,kes, seas, and even wells across the continent.


    All the water in this world turned blood red.


    Some were screaming and running away, others were just staring in awe or shock. All sorts of reactions were mixed together.


    The entire continent thought the same thing.


    Like Back when the sun disappeared.


    This time, water.


    Soon, the same sentiment spread among the people in an instant.


    Anxiety and fear.


    The speechless couple trembled in fear and held each others hands, while the child wrapped his arms around his fathers neck and cried out in fear.


    It was something that they hadnt even heard of in myths of legends.


    And it wasnt the first, but the second time.


    Everyone was at a loss, but no one offered a solution or offered reassurance.


    They had never imagined anything like this, let alone experienced it.


    Among the frozen humans, someone poked out.


    Father!


    An old man had his hand stretched out towards the red river, and the man who appeared to be his son stood up and urgently called him.


    But the old man did not stop. He said grimly,


    Shouldnt we see what it is? At this rate, we cant even keep our body and soul together for tomorrow


    The old man couldnt even finish his words.


    <em>Kulreng, kulreng.</em>


    Bubbles swelled up in the river red like blood, and soon the fishes overturned and started to float.


    The people who saw the bizarre sight took a step back without even realizing it.


    Unlike the color, it didnt smell like blood, but the smell of death was covering the whole continent so thick that the tip of their nose was pungent.


    And at Raisas vige, located on the outskirts of the empire


    There is only one day left.


    Ophelia rubbed her pale cheeks and dim eyes.


    She knew what the vigers were going to do, but would Raisa Neir act as they expected?


    To get rid of an entire vige, you have to annihte its members, so its like a war


    Ophelia could not hide her agitation.


    That would be the case, just like she told James.


    No matter how remote and small a vige is, isnt it absurd for a family other than the imperial family to mobilize forces and massacre the people of the empire?


    I guess we should talk again


    She jumped up, unable to think further on her own, and immediately stormed out of the door.


    Ophelia stopped at the stream leading to the river on the outskirts of town, which was within walking distance of her house, and realized that the sight she had seen through the window was not an illusion.


    The river was dyed red like blood.


    The sixth.


    The words that escaped from her parted lips were more like groans.


    River of blood. The sixth sign of doom.


    Ophelia thought that the interval between signs was getting faster.


    It was as if a drop or two of water formed on a cracked dam, and then a small stream of water appeared and burst with a bang.


    She expected that as the signs were revealed one by one, the world would be twisted and shaken until itpletely copsed and perished.


    Its too fast.


    The sixth sign came faster than expected.


    In other words, it meant that the time of the end of the world was closer than expected.


    Now, really, in a mere blink, the whole world could crumble.


    Ophelias shoulders rose as she stretched out her hand toward the bloody stream, stunned.


    Kyaaaaaah!


    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!


    No!


    It was because the sharp screamsing from behind her werent from one or two people.


    And it wasnt towards the river that was dyed red.


    Blood and fire?


    Fires as red as the river, which was nowpletely blood-stained, were burning all over the vige.


    Of course its now.


    Gritting her teeth, Ophelia immediately started running toward the vige.


    The world could perish the very next moment, but right now, all she could do was grab the crying ne-holding girl from that pit of blood and fire.


    .


    Around the time Ophelia discovered the river slowly turning red


    Raisas fire to reduce the vige to a heap of ashes was opening its greedy mouth.


    The beginning of the catastrophe was insignificant like a river or two in which one or two red drops rose.


    Hmm? What is this sound?


    When a viger, praying quietly, heard a crackling sound nearby and poked his head toward it without much thought.


    <em>Kkunk.</em>


    With a sound like scratching ss, his blood smeared on the floor.


    The one who wiped off the blood and fat from the sword continued his work.


    <em>Swak, swaaaak.</em>


    How many times did the sh that hurt his eyes bloom and disappear.


    Before long, red mes rose from the dry straw bales.


    It wasnt just one ce.


    Fires began to soar simultaneously in various parts of the vige.


    And those who found the fire shouted at the top of their voices.


    Fi fire! Its fire!
