I Died Once to Become Her Nightmare のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

The mirrors shattered all at once.Elena threw her arms over her head as pieces of silver glass flew across the corridor.“Get down!”Adrian pulled her against him.Aria grabbed Mira and pushed her behind a stone pillar.The sound was deafening.Glass crashed against the floor.Then silence.Elena slowly lifted her head.Her grandmother was still standing at the end of the corridor.The silver blade in her hand continued to glow.Elena stared at her.For years, she had believed this woman was dead.She had mourned her.She had hated her.She had spent countless nights wondering why her family had been cursed with secrets that nobody wanted to explain.And now she was standing in front of her.Alive.“You're supposed to be dead,” Elena whispered.Her grandmother smiled.“So I was.”Elena frowned.“What does that mean?”“I died.”“Then how are you here?”Her grandmother's eyes darkened.“Because death is not always the end.”Adrian stepped in front of Elena.“Stay away from her.”Her gr

The seven silver figures stood at the entrance of the sanctuary.Nobody moved.Nobody breathed.Elena stood at the center of the chamber, Adrian beside her, Aria and Mira behind them.The First Ones stared at Elena.Their silver eyes burned with something between anger and disbelief.Then one of them stepped forward.“You have awakened.”Elena didn't move.“Yes.”“You carry the memory.”“Yes.”“You carry the vessel.”Elena's fingers tightened.“She isn't a vessel.”The First One tilted its head.“You defend what belongs to us.”“No.”Elena took one step forward.“I defend what belongs to herself.”A low whisper passed between the seven figures.The first one in front raised its hand.“Give us the child.”Mira immediately moved behind Adrian.Elena shook her head.“No.”“You do not understand what she will become.”“I understand enough.”“She will destroy everything.”Elena looked at Mira.The frightened girl was trembling.“She isn't going to destroy anything.”“You cannot know that.”

“Elena!”Adrian disappeared in a flash of silver light.For one terrible second, Elena could do nothing but stare at the empty space where he had been standing.Then she screamed.“ADRIAN!”She ran forward, but Mira grabbed her wrist.“Don't!”“Let me go!”“If you touch the light, it will take you too!”“I don't care!”Elena tried to pull away.“He's in there!”“I know!”“Then let me save him!”Mira's eyes filled with tears.“You can't save him by dying with him.”Elena stopped.Her breathing was heavy.She stared at the silver light hovering above the ground.Inside it, she could see flashes of Adrian.His face.His hands.His eyes.He looked like he was falling through an endless space.“Elena!”His voice was faint.She stepped toward him.“Adrian!”“I can't—”His voice disappeared.The light became brighter.“No!”Elena reached for him.The moment her fingers touched the silver glow, a painful shock ran through her body.She fell to her knees.Aria rushed toward her.“Elena!”“I'm

Elena stared at the man standing beyond the darkness.Her mind refused to accept what she had just heard.You weren't born.You were created.The words kept repeating in her head until they became louder than everything around her.She looked at her mother.“Tell me he's lying.”Her mother's lips trembled.“Elena…”“Tell me.”“I…”“Please.”That one word came out smaller than Elena intended.For all the battles she had survived, all the secrets she had uncovered, all the people who had betrayed her, she had never felt this helpless.She needed her mother's answer.Not another riddle.Not another warning.The truth.Her mother looked down.“He isn't completely lying.”Elena felt something inside her crack.Adrian immediately stepped closer.“Elena.”She pulled her hand away from him.“Don't.”He stopped.“I need to hear this.”The man smiled.“I told you.”Elena turned toward him.“Shut up.”His smile disappeared.“You don't get to speak about me like you know me.”“I know you better t

“Choose.”The word echoed through the chamber.Elena stood frozen.The silver light from the heart wrapped around her ankles, slowly climbing toward her knees.Across from her, Adrian was caught in the same light.Neither of them could move.The Source was waiting.Mira stood several feet away, tears streaming down her face.“No…”Elena looked at her.“What?”Mira shook her head.“This isn't supposed to happen yet.”Elias stared at the Heart.“It has made the decision itself.”Adrian looked at him.“What decision?”Elias's expression darkened.“It wants one of you.”Elena's heart pounded.“Why?”“Because the Source cannot remain divided.”The silver light around Adrian intensified.He winced.“Elena…”She immediately tried to move toward him.“Adrian!”The light tightened around her too.She cried out.Elias shouted, “Don't fight it!”“I can't just stand here!”“If you resist, it will hurt both of you.”Adrian gritted his teeth.“Then stop it.”“I can't.”“You created this!”“I know.”
