Chapter 10: The Golden Fly
In a place covered in red blood, Rindel awoke from his unconsciousness. His upper body began to move, his face covered in blood. "Blood!" Rindel fainted again, seeing blood everywhere.
Seraph arrived at his destination to pick up Baria and take her safely back to Baria's house. Seraph opened the door and walked in. He saw Baria's face covered in wounds. Seeing his face covered in wounds, Baria's tears flowed uncontrollably.
Seraph opened the door and Baria saw the newcomer. Upon seeing that it was someone he knew, he ran to hug him, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Baria ran to hug him, overwhelmed with gratitude. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Seraph, thank you so much for saving me." Seraph let Baria hug him, treating him like a child.
After a while, Baria calmed down. Seraph asked him about the situation to make sure he knew what had happened. "What happened?" Why did this happen? "Baria recounted the story from the moment she was arrested, along with the punch she received until she fainted.
Seraph watched as the girl was about to cry another tear. "Alright, the story's over, so you can go home." Seraph took Baria's hand and led her back to the house. He had to take the girl home. It was dangerous to let a five-year-old child walk home alone. Seraph led her unhurriedly, feeling Baria watching him.
After some time, Seraph arrived at Baria's house. Seraph saw her off, looking at the old house. "Is this it? I can't stay here long. Just come here." Baria bowed her head in thanks.
After thanking Seraph, he started walking towards his own house. Seraph looked at the girl's back, his expression still calm. The red lines that should have disappeared had reappeared immediately after arriving.
[What's going on here? Are you saying Baria is going to die again if you go home? I can't help but take a peek.] Seraph decided to wait outside. Pulling out an item from the 100% Luck System, a golden fly-shaped object appeared, the size of a Seraph's finger.
[This is a Golden Fly. Its ability is to connect my perception to this fly. With this magical item, it can easily track people.] Seraph went to find a place to sneak a peek.
Baria opened the door and saw his mother eating a very luxurious meal. On the table was beef she hadn't eaten in a long time. Plus, she had just eaten the night before without waiting for Baria to return.
Baren looked at the young girl who had just returned with a shocked expression. Time seemed to have stopped. "How did you come back here?" Baren was shocked. "Mom, we have no money, so why do we have such expensive food?"
Baren's face showed fear. "It's impossible, it's impossible. You shouldn't be here! You shouldn't be here!" Baren clutched his head, shaking his hair like he was going crazy from stress. Baren shouted, "Get out of here! I've sold you to them! Get out of here!!" "
Baren threw the plate straight at Baria's face. Bang! The plate shattered. Baren's trembling hands were in front of his daughter.
Tears were streaming down Baria's face, one drop at a time. The freshly healed wound was swollen again. Baria's tears were flowing unceasingly. Baria had heard what her mother had said, saying she didn't want her.
"Why... What did I do wrong? You gave birth to me, and you did this to me. Is it my fault?"
Baren's face was filled with sadness, standing there motionless, letting the red blood flow unceasingly. The red blood dripped down the floor, his black and white eyes staring at the face of the woman who held the word "mother" in her heart.
Baren shouted angrily. "Yes, yes, yes. Because you were born, I am like this. Get out of my sight. I don't want to see you again. Do whatever you want. I hate you the most." Baren wore a look of deep anger.
Baria was breathing heavily, almost fainting, and realizing her mother's true feelings, she walked out of the candlelit house and into the darkness. Baria was far from the house she once called home.
Baria reached a tree and all her strength fell upon it, in indescribable pain. Baria's mouth opened and she cried out, the pain she needed to vent. "Sob...sob...!! Sob...!"
Baria cried, burying her face in the ground. The woman's cries echoed. In the tree, a golden fly stared at the image of a child. Seraph's eyes were fixed on the young Baria.
[Is that so? I was thinking about that one.] Something like me, this is it. Life isn't always pretty, but there are still things that can send you down a deeper pit. It's just like me. Friendless, helpless, aimless, futureless, emotionless, and the only thing you can rely on is yourself, which is negative. Laughter and contempt still pierce my heart.
I have to keep moving forward, going in a different direction than everyone else. This is why I feel this way. Why do I want to help this Barrier? We're in the same deep pit. No, this child's pit is much deeper than mine. He's probably considering suicide. It's like my previous life.
There's no need for empty dreams, but I can't let this child die. In the future, if your abilities and luck are 100% right, your life will definitely improve. So...]
Baria cried out loudly, hearing the sound of someone walking towards him. Barrier looked up at the people standing in front of him. A face was beginning to reveal itself. It was a handsome boy with blond hair and golden eyes. He was the Seraph Hero riding a white horse. Barrier's face cried out even louder.
"Sob... My mother doesn't want me anymore. My life is pitch black. Seraph, help me, I'm aimless now?... Sob... " Seraph gently placed his hand on Barrier's head. "Who told you? Don't you like to draw? Don't forget, this world is ruled by warriors. If you become stronger, no one can harm you. There's definitely a way.
This Seraph guarantees you a happy future. Don't you like to draw? There's still this path. " Barrier looked at Seraph's cold face. His golden eyes shone with light as he stared into Barrier's.
