Crimson Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

"Thank you." Husen barely finished the words. Then he moved. So quickly that Sera didn't even have time to turn. His body twisted behind her, one foot sliding across the wet stone. His arm swept forward. A blade of compressed air exploded from his hand.SHRAAAK!The force tore through the chamber. Water erupted from the ground. Loose stones lifted into the air. Dust and fragments of broken rock spiraled upward as an invisible wave of power ripped across the battlefield. Sera's hair was thrown violently backward. For one breathtaking second, she stood completely still in the center of the blast. Her white hair streamed behind her like ribbons caught in a storm. Her coat snapped against her body. Even the crimson glow surrounding her seemed to bend beneath the pressure.Then, BOOM!Listener was struck. His body flew backward. He crashed through a stone pillar and shattered half of it on impact. The remaining structure groaned. A cloud of dust swallowed him. Sera slowly lowered her arm.

The creature stared at Sera. Its pale eyes never blinked. Around them, the chamber had become unnaturally still. The Council soldiers no longer fired. Kael's hand remained against the disabled weapon. Nysera stood several steps away from Husen, her eyes fixed on the creature. Verek kept one hand near Listener's shoulder, ready to restrain him if he moved. And Listener simply watched Sera. For once, there was no smile on his face.The creature slowly moved his hand forward. Water rippled around his arm. Sera didn't move. Husen immediately shifted in front of her. The creature stopped.Its eyes moved at husen. "Move," it said.Husen's expression hardened. "No."The creature looked at him. Something almost resembling recognition appeared in its eyes. Then it looked past him.At Sera."She belongs..." Its voice cracked "...to the blood."Sera's fingers tightened. "What does that mean?"Listener answered. "It means you were never simply carrying Crimson Blood."Sera turned toward him. "The

The message remained on the screen. SOURCE CONFIRMED.Then, MOTHER LOCATED.And finally, SUBJECT SERA REQUIRED FOR EXTRACTION.Nobody spoke. The words glowed across the old terminal, bathing the chamber in a faint crimson light. Sera stared at them."They knew."Kael slowly approached the screen. "They didn't know."He examined the flickering symbols. "They know now."Verek glanced toward the ceiling. "How long?"Kael checked the machine. "Not long."Nysera's expression darkened. "They'll already be moving."Husen looked toward the broken entrance. "Then we leave."Mother didn't move. "No."Everyone looked at her.Husen frowned. "No?"Mother looked toward the ceiling. "They are not coming here."She paused. "They are coming for her."Her gaze settled on Sera.Sera felt the weight of it. "For me."Mother nodded. "The Council has spent generations searching for Crimson Blood. They believe you are the source."Sera looked at her. "But I'm not.""No." Mother's expression softened. "You ar

The photograph trembled between Sera's fingers. Not because she was afraid. Because her hands were shaking with anger. The old image had already begun to curl at the edges, its surface scarred by years of heat and moisture. Yet the faces remained visible. Her mother. Young. Alive. Standing beneath the old oak tree that had once grown beside their house. A little girl standing in front of her. Sera. And behind them Husen. Younger. But unmistakable. His dark hair fell loosely around his face, and his expression carried none of the cold amusement he wore now. He looked almost human. Almost peaceful. And beside him Nysera. Sera slowly lowered the photograph. Her eyes moved toward the vampire queen.Nysera hadn't spoken since admitting she had been there. The silence between them had become heavier than the ruins surrounding them. "You knew my mother."Nysera didn't deny it. "Yes.""You knew me." A pause. "Yes."Sera's jaw tightened. "And you knew what happened that night."Nysera looked a

"Mama?" The voice came again.Soft. Small. Almost frightened. Sera didn't breathe. Nobody did. The ancient chamber remained completely still. The crimson light around the empty stone cradle pulsed once. Then again.The voice came from somewhere beyond it.,"Mama?"Sera's fingers tightened around Husen's hand. "Did you hear that?"Husen nodded. "Yes."Verek's blade was already in his hand. "Where?"He looked around the chamber. Nothing. No door. No passage. No movement. Only the cradle.Kael raised his weapon. "Could be an echo."Listener shook his head. "No."Everyone looked at him. He stared at the cradle. "It isn't an echo."Nysera's expression hardened. "What is it?"Listener didn't answer. Sera stepped toward the cradle. Husen immediately caught her wrist. "Wait."She looked back. "Why?""I don't know what's inside.""There's nothing inside.""That's what concerns me."Sera glanced at the empty cradle. He was right. It wasn't merely old. It was too clean. There was no dust inside i
