This was something I wanted to know too.

Why did he try to kill me?

In this novel, the only people who want to kill me to take revenge on the evil “Eveliana” are the Hilderius twins who went back in time.

As for Kay, an orphan from the common people, she had no enemies.

I have lived my whole life well.

Basically, what's the point in killing me? Just a simple, worthless treatment...?

"Let's put this on hold for now. How about we stay somewhere else tonight?"

Dabin said as she scanned the living room.

The room was full of bloodstains and the smell of burning, so it was impossible to stay in it for one night.

“Looks like I should do it.”

At the moment I was nodding my head in agreement with Dabin’s words.

(Oh, that's really a lot. I used up a lot of energy.)

Zad's voice rang out again.

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light began to emanate from the corner of the room so that the eyes could not be opened.

When the light gradually died down, Zad, who had burned out and disappeared, was standing in the middle of the room exactly as I had seen him on the street.

“Oh, looks like we need to hear the story now.”

Dabin quickly pulled out her sword and stared at Zad.

Suddenly, while I was observing the situation, Lloyd carried me in his arms.

“What is this...?”

Then he kicked the window next to him and smashed it.

“My window!”

But Lloyd ignored my screams and climbed over the broken window frame.

We are on the seventh floor...?

After looking around for a moment, he found the roof of the neighboring building, so he grabbed me tightly and jumped out.

"Wait! What about Dabin? Are we going alone?"

I asked Lloyd in panic as I looked out the window of my house in the distance.

“Dabin is much stronger than me.”

Lloyd landed lightly on the adjacent roof and then lowered me.

From the roof, I could see Dabin facing Zad through the window that Lloyd had smashed.

Lloyd opened a space and took out a huge sword with black lightning bolts running through it, then threw it forcefully towards my building.

With Lloyd's mighty strength, the sword plunged into the wall of the building, making a loud sound.

Then black sparks were emitted from the sword, and a transparent barrier was formed surrounding the entire building.

“Dabin, the barrier has been set up.”

Lloyd muttered in a low voice that I almost couldn't hear him even though I was standing next to him.

After these words, I saw Dabin directing her magic towards Zad.

Strong fires and lightning bolts erupted throughout the room.

But Zad, despite receiving all these attacks, did not show any reaction.

"What is this? Is it really human? Is it a zombie like I hear in stories? Or a dead, moving being? What kind of monster is this?"

“No, it is not a monster. He revived a body in which the heart and brain had been completely burned out. This is something that not even a Dragon Lord can do.”

“So what is it?”

“I don’t know.”

Lloyd answered with an expression of confusion as well.

Suddenly, Zad, who was silently receiving the attacks, disappeared and appeared behind Dabin.

A white light emanated from Zad's hand and struck Dabin's abdomen.

“Dabin!”

Dabin fell to the ground, spitting out bright red blood.

She was frowning in pain as blood dripped from her nose and mouth.

“Dabin!”

I screamed in terror, but she didn't seem to hear me.

She was clenching her fists and writhing in pain, unable to stand.

Lloyd stood coldly, watching his sister bleed and die, and muttered quietly:

“He's using sacred energy, Dabin.”

What a man who does not have an ounce of mercy. How could he stay like this when his sister was dying before his eyes?

I had to help Dabin myself.

But my healing wand was on the bed in my room, and since the distance was five meters, using distance healing magic required drawing a magic circle. In my blood. No way, I have to bite my finger and draw the circle.

And at the moment when I was going to bite my index finger hard.

“Stop.”

Lloyd's big hand grabbed my finger.

“I told you not to do that again.”

“Is this the time to talk? Dabin is dying!”

I shouted at Lloyd, ignoring his harsh look, but I heard a familiar voice next to my ear.

“The accounts are over!”

I didn't expect to hear Dabin's voice right next to me.

I turned around in amazement to find Dabin standing next to me with a completely healthy face.

“Dabin… two?”

Dabin was inside the window, and another Dabin was standing next to me.

What is this position? What happens to the Creator?

But Dabin did not care about my astonishment, and began to mutter incantations quietly, then shouted while looking at the sky:

“You meteorite!”

At that moment.

Black clouds began to gather quickly in the sky, which was illuminated by the bright moon.

The moonlight was completely blocked, the sky darkened, and strong winds began to blow like a hurricane.

However, a strong shaking occurred as if an earthquake had struck the building.

But Zad inside the window was attacking Dabin, who was lying on the ground, coldly, despite this shaking.

Dabin, standing next to me, looked at herself dying inside the building and muttered:

“O bright star of the sky, O great power descending from the universe to the earth! Lend me that power! The meteorite!”

As Dabin muttered, a meteor appeared in the sky and began to approach and increase in size.

Wait a minute, this novel isn't the "Transparent Dragon" genre or anything like that, right?

My mind was in complete chaos because of this massive scale of power.

How crazy! Did you summon a meteor just to kill that guy? Do you mean we all die?

I couldn't open my eyes because of the heat and the shaking that was getting stronger.

Then, boom!

A huge sound rang out that almost punctured my eardrums, then the shaking stopped.

When I opened my eyes, the bright moon was in the middle of the sky as if nothing had happened, but as for my house...

“He…disappeared?”

My entire building disappeared. Very cleanly.

The nearby residents came out of their homes because of the sound and the earthquake, and the street was filled with people.

“Sorry… Dabin, Lloyd. My house is gone?”

White steam was rising from where the building was.

“That strange man has also disappeared. Isn’t that good? Anything that takes a direct hit from a meteor within that barrier wouldn’t survive, not even a god.”

Dabin smiled casually.

I looked at her smile and smiled in confusion.

I thought to myself: I should never make Dabin angry. What a terrifying girl.

But suddenly I couldn't laugh.

“Wait! What about the people who lived in that building?”

Lloyd answered calmly to my panicked voice:

“In fact, from the first moment we entered, we did not feel any life inside the building. There was no trace of the presence of living creatures.”

This is strange.

There were a lot of people living on the lower floors.

I remembered my neighbor, the bride, who was smiling shyly, the young knight, and the rest of the neighbors, and then I remembered that all of their names were on the list of the missing.

“So... all my savings were in that house. What happened to them?”

Dabin's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing my words.

“Oh... she's gone, hasn't she?”

The money I'd hard earned since I was an adult, the gold bars I'd stashed under the bed for emergencies, the hundred gold pieces from Lloyd, even the papers... The property belongs to the Hilderius family.

All my possessions were turned to dust by a single meteor strike.

“Huh...?”

So, because of one meteorite, I became completely bankrupt.

Dabin stood in front of the “Emerald Room.”

She was about to knock, but stopped and sighed.

“How many days have passed now?”

Kay seemed to have been in great shock because everyone she knew had disappeared, and her house and possessions were turning to dust.

All traces of her previous life had disappeared, and it was natural for her to be sad.

Kai's acceptance of the twins' extended hand was inevitable.

Without their help, Kay would have been forced to stay on the street.

Kay returned to Hilderius Palace from Geronia in less than twenty-four hours, and she smiled bitterly as she saw the happiness of the people of the palace at her return.

Since entering her room a week ago, she has eaten almost nothing, and has been crying silently under the duvets.

Dabin completely understood her feelings.

Before going back in time, Dabin suffered the destruction of her family and the death of her loved ones because of Eveliana, until the moment her heart was ripped out.

Dabin has experienced what it is like to be alone and miserable in this world.

But when she saw Kay withering in sadness without food, she felt that Kay might sink into depression and never come out of it.

“Are you going to make an extreme choice?”

Lloyd was thinking the same thing.

To calm Kai's soul, the twins met to think.

Searching for a way to entertain a depressed person was more difficult for them than fighting a war without weapons; It was the biggest concern in their lives.

Lloyd was the first to visit Kay.

Lloyd remembered how happy Kay was to see the bag of money, so he brought a large box full of gold.

If she is happy with a small bag, won't her mood improve by seeing this box?

But Kay just looked at the shiny gold silently without any reaction.

The gold box returned to Lloyd without interest.

It was a miserable failure.
