She Was Sent by God - Chapter 157-1
Laslo knelt before him without hesitation. Eugene looked down at the top of Laslo without saying a word. It wasn’t until the silence was unbearably long that he spoke.
“You’re saying the same thing as Agnes.”
“…….”
“She also begged for your life. In exchange for her soul, she asked me to save you.
“Agnes….”
Laslo sighed heavily and bit his lip. More than anyone else, he could now understand her reasons for making such a wish.
“But now it’s you who wants to sacrifice your soul and wants her back.”
Before he could finish, Eugene burst out laughing.
“Human beings are so selfish.”
[Leave him be, Master]
By rubbing her head against Eugene’s arms and back, Rebecca pushed him.
[You will soon depart from this world anyway. You don’t need to be concerned about such things.]
“Are you leaving?”
In response to Rebecca’s words, Laslo muttered quietly. With one hand, Eugene combed her hair down.
“Go back, human. I’m not here to fulfill your wishes.”
“Can you tell me where you’re going?”
“To the home of my kind.”
[This world is too fragile to embrace the master, right?]
Eugene’s eyes briefly filled with longing. Laslo recalled what Reika had told him. They claimed that dragons relocated to a different planet to escape being hunted. He might never see Agnes again if he misses Eugene here. Laslo kept his temper in check and maintained his composure.
“Are you running away?”
“What?”
“What about those who sealed you and brutally murdered your kind?”
Eugene’s lips twisted in an odd manner. Laslo continued speaking without batting an eye.
“Have you already forgotten the insult you were subjected to?”
[How dare you!]
With her mouth wide open, Rebecca roared.
[I’ll destroy you so that you never speak again!]
“Rebecca.”
Eugene raised his hand to stop Rebecca.
“Human, do more.”
“I’ll act as your sword.”
With both hands, Laslo picked up the sword that had been placed on the ground and presented it to him.
“Hmm.”
“If you tell me to go somewhere, I will go; if you tell me to kill, I will kill; and if you tell me to die, I will die.”
His eyes were clear and unclouded by falsehoods. For a while, Eugene kept his gaze fixed on Laslo.
“I’ll make up for all the humiliation you’ve endured, even after you leave this world. I don’t care if I work on it for the rest of my life.”
“What if you don’t see Agnes again?”
Laslo then laughed.
“I wouldn’t want anything else if I could get her back,” he said.
A minute seemed to last for eternity. Laslo lowered his eyes. Little by little, the sword in his arms began to tremble. Eugene remained silent.
If this suggestion is rejected, what else can I offer?
Laslo was about to give up when Eugene grabbed his sword.
“What’s your name?”
“… Laslo Arpad.”
[Master!]
Upon observing Eugene’s actions, Rebecca became more agitated. Laslo looked up at Eugene quietly, not quite sure what was going on. Laslo’s hand was pierced by Eugene’s sword as he grinned.
“Argh”
“Laslo Arpad, you are to be my knight.”
Red blood squirmed across the pierced back of his hand, forming a pattern. It appeared to be a dragon with a sword. Laslo alternated between looking at Eugene and the back of his hand.
“Raise offerings for me in this forest once a year. The offerings should be the wings of the messenger of God.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Eugene twisted the sword with great force. In pain, Laslo clenched his teeth.
“Give me the bead.”
[Argh! You’re wasting your energy, my Lord, by doing that!]
Rebecca stomped her feet beside him, letting out a mournful groan. Laslo gave Eugene the bead that Reika had given him. With one hand, Eugene seized the bead and broke it. The light vanished instantly. Laslo couldn’t stand the brightness and shut his eyes.
When Laslo opened his eyes once more, the handsome man with red hair was no longer there, and a huge beast was in his place.
Iridescent eyes and an enormous coat. Shining black scales in the moonlight. Laslo briefly became speechless due to his overwhelming presence.
The dragon spoke.
[Thanks to the agreement you made with me, you’ll go back to the day Agnes was alive.]
“Oh, thank you so much.”
[But keep in mind, Laslo Arpad. My interference has now completely changed the course of this world’s destiny.]
“Oh…….”
[You must bear everything; life and death are in your hands.]
Laslo’s body gradually rose into the air. The sword that was stuck in his hand’s back fell off by itself. It was frightening how quickly the air began to vibrate around him. The sky cracked, and the axis of the earth shook. His heart and lungs were subjected to intense pressure. Laslo lost his mind after a while of being unable to handle it. Eugene raised his gaze to the sky. Before him, a rounded light appeared.
[Agnes]
The dragon murmured. A round light touched the tip of his nose.
[Go. My contractor. This is the last gift I can give you.]
