"Please, helpjour…" (Sae-Jin)

"Save me, you rotten son of a btch!!!!" (Lillia)

"……"

He really thought that he’d forgotten about how to get angry, but before he knew it, Sae-Jin was already gritting his teeth

Other than the odd occasions where she had to enter the city liround base, Lillia spent close to half a year in that uninhabited island with Sae-Jin as the only co that tiht her ic and how to swim; the importance of the stable supply of sustenance; told her of things that would happen in the future, thereby doing his best to change and fortify Lillia’s ot to possess some semblance of that composed, relaxed de that this h, Sae-Jin said his farewell to her exactly on the 200th day of the training

"I’ now" (Sae-Jin)

"Eh?"

"What, you don’t want me to leave?" (Sae-Jin)

"No, no!! That’s not it!" (Lillia)

Maybe he was too hard on her until now? Lillia’s expression as she vigorously nodded her head was stuck soret Of course, the scale leaned ever so closer to joy

While grinning, Sae-Jin added one ht This is your freedo for By the way, if you happen to find out the exact location of the Lord’s hidey hole, let ic, okay?" (Sae-Jin)

"Oh, sure… Uh? But, ould you need that…?" (Lillia)

"There’s sootta do" (Sae-Jin)

The Lord said that he had misplaced the treasure that controlled the survival instincts of Va froe, there was just no way he’d ‘ that incredibly valuable No, it’d make more sense if someone stole it away, instead

And the thief responsible for that would be… Well, there was no strict reason to mention that noas there?

"Sure, I understand" (Lillia)

As if she desired to get rid of Sae-Jin as soon as possible, Lillia answered quickly

"Also…" (Sae-Jin)

Smack!

"Ah-ahck"

Since he didn’t find her attitude all that nice, Sae-Jin flicked her forehead, and then, pulled out the diary Lillia stared at it with blank eyes, before finally asking him aloud

"……This is?" (Lillia)

"It’s the diary of the future I wrote in the past It’ll work out better if you tell the others it’s a book of prophecy, or so like that Then, they’ll believe you even s that will happen froht Make a copy, mock it up to look like an ancient tome or such, and hand it over to the Lord, as well" (Sae-Jin)

Lillia reached out and snatched the diary away, before trying to open it willy-nilly, so Sae-Jin hurriedly grabbed her hands

"Keheu pressure that implied she should read it when he wasn’t here

Lillia quickly understood the gist of the stare and nodded her head, before hiding the diary within her clothes

"Okay, then I’ll be on my way I will see you later I shall stop by at your place once before it gets too late Got it?" (Sae-Jin)

SFX for a sudden flash of light

Sae-Jin turned into blue light, before disappearing from the spot

Left alone, Lillia cautiously turned her head to survey her surroundings, before opening up the cover of the diary

Three years flew by after radually discovering the presence of other worlds, Lillia finally uncovered the hiding place of the Varound beneath the city of London

After receiving the coordinates, Sae-Jin used instant transmission and arrived at the Lord’s residence

The Lord had been weakened considerably after crossing over froe of the sleeping potion was needed to knock him out cold And Sae-Jin was able to snatch away the Lord’s most prized possession rather easily

It was a bloodstone that shined with a sinister reddish hue – the Phantom Bloodstone

Sae-Jin had no idea how to use it, but whatever, it was still the most important weapon passed down from one Vampire Lord to another

Kwadeuk!!

Without a shred of hesitation, Sae-Jin destroyed it

No matter how valuable a tool was, if it was created to rule over other people, then it shouldn’t even exist in the first place, after all

(TL: Told from the MC’s perspective)

Time continued to flow by

The density of Mana on Earth increased everyday, leading to h a big upheaval and a certain change at the sarants from another world ca, new professions called ‘Knights’ and ‘Wizards’ were created to deal with the rising threat The very first Wizard Tower and the Knights Order were established in the USA, and soon afterwards, lobe as if they were in a race or sorants frorate with the Earth’s society and its rules, and began co various crimes – violent actions of Mah-ins that see persons cases that were suspected to be the work of Vampires, etc, etc

In order to handle these criot invented

It happened in the year of 1990 Unable to endure anyreed to call for the extermination of the Mah-ins first Several thousands, tens of thousands of Mah-ins were executed without a chance for rehabilitation

And five years after that, the sharp ends of the vengeful spear oftowards the Va of the so-called ith the Varew up to know

On a certain Autumn day in 2010

I stood on a street of a certain city in Gangwon

It was to ain with someone I wanted to see so much

I really wanted to meet her before this day, but I had to endure it I feared that soht happen, so I didn’t even dare to look on from far away, as well

Maybe, I wasn’t supposed to meet today either I had no idea what kind of butterfly effect today’son one significant fact:

Before e man

However, the el Las kid or his lackeys had no reason to talk to her in the first place They were even planning to i behind a fake clue – so, they wouldn’t do soht trace back to them, after all

On that day deeply imprinted in my head, the day I still clearly remember… The day before mom passed away – the day ent to a photo studio

I caoodbyes

I heard her gentle voice so vividly I was trying to steel ot shattered apart My throat clammed up and I couldn’t speak anyhten up at all

"My Sae-Jin can head hoshe had to do

And so, that child would head home all alone, very soon

And then, etically replied and ran towards ho boy absent away my tears This was my one true final chance I couldn’t simply stop here

I pushed myself up with both hands I forcibly stood up I wiped tears off my messy face and slowly approached her

Towards her, the one that I was eagerly waiting for
