Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 10 - Chapter 39

Chapter 39

“Roar!!”

When I felt the claws of the huge bird on the skin my head, the White Deer King suddenly raised its head up and roared . The huge bird in the sky reacted as though something hit it, causing it to wobble and almost crash into the ground . It flapped its wings with fear desperately to try to fly back up . The White Deer King whipped its head, and then looked at the bird again . The bird cawed with terror and swiftly fled similarly to a moth being driven away .

“You…”

The White Deer King shook its head, ignoring my surprise as though the creatures were the same as insignificant flies and mosquitoes that annoyed humans .

I patted its head then quickly grabbed Philes by his belt . His body jerked vigorously . His eyes moved a little . He desperately tried to look at me . I pulled him up . Tanya, who was in front of me, then grabbed him . Philes had a shocking hole in his chest made by the grim reaper’s scythe . A huge amount of leaking blood drained Philes of his life force .

“Philes, Philes, hang in there! Hang in there! We’re heading back now! We’re heading back now!!”

I took my scarf off and pressed it on his wound . The huge amount of blood instantly soaked my scarf, turning it bright red . Tanya pressed her hands down firmly on his wound . Philes struggled around to grab my arm . He trembled as he raised his head up to look at me .

“Don’t speak . Don’t speak . Philes, these won’t be your last words . You have a future . You still have a future . You’ll be fine . Just hang in there . You can say whatever you want once you’ve recovered! Philes, believe me . Philes, believe me!!”

I kicked the White Deer King . The White Deer King ran to the rear at full pelt . I was now gladder than words could do justice that I changed my steed . Philes grabbed onto my arm tightly . He looked at me and spoke with difficulty, “I… I… do not regret it… Your…”

He struggled . He looked at me and spoke as if he had no strength . His clear and somewhat cute face that I often mistook and teased was now covered in blood . I looked at him . I saw the reflection of my face in his eyes . He gripped my arm tightly . His arms gradually weakened as though his trembles were leaking out his energy . He coughed out a mouthful of blood and gradually relaxed .

Tanya pressed down on his wound with all her might . My scarf got so heavy from all his blood that it couldn’t flutter in the winds .

“Don’t say that sort of stuff! Don’t say that sort of stuff! I order you!! Philes! Philes! You’ll be fine You’ll be fine!!”

Our camp was right ahead . We had retreated . The huge birds behind us were afraid of the White Deer King’s majestic aura . They circled around the valley, not daring to fly out . The soldiers opened the gates to our camp .

“All of the soldiers are waiting for us . The doctor is ready . There is fire, food and a comfortable bed at the camp . Your Shusia is there, too . Philes, Philes, hang in there for a bit longer!!”

“You’ll be fine! You’ll be all right! Philes! You’ll be all right!!”

“Please . I beg you . Open your eyes . Grab onto my arm tightly . Just a little more . Just a little more, my Philes . Don’t do this! Don’t let go! It’s right in front of us . We’re very close now . You’ll be fine! You’ve been with me for a long time and travelled half the continent with me . I saved you once, so I can save you a second time! Don’t die! Don’t die!!”

‘Don’t dieee!!!’

“Your Majesty!”

*Thud!!*

The wooden gates to the camp opened from the rear . The soldiers around ran over, shouting out and gathered around us . The doctor carrying his equipment box was there, as well . I was covered in blood, so my guess was that they thought I was hurt .

My arm no longer felt heavy .

I lowered my head . The White Deer King stopped moving . It did its best . It ran back as fast as its legs could take it, which was faster than the speed the army retreated . It was the fastest runner . No steed could outrun it . Alas, the speed that Philes blood left his body was faster than the White Deer King .

I looked at the ground . Philes body landed with a heavy thud . His blood melted the snow on the ground . His blood that got on me continued trickling down onto the ground as if it was keeping time .

I didn’t cry . I didn’t even dismount . Instead, I looked at Philes, who was on the ground . It was too fast . It all happened too fast . I remembered speaking to him just half an hour ago . I watched him charge up the city wall, but he was now lying on the ground in front of my eyes with no blood left to bleed .

“PHILES!!!”

Shusia’s scream tore through the condensed air . She staggered as she came running over . She knelt down in front of Philes’ corpse and trembled as she hugged him tightly and cried . Her wails sounded akin to a sad song from hell, irritating my ears so much I felt an urge to puke .

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”

I left the White Deer King and staggered over . Tanya watched me from behind without knowing what to do . I staggered over and knelt on the ground . All of my feelings blasted forth from my body along with the pain and despair I suppressed .

“AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

I couldn’t hold back my tears . I started to vomit a little afterwards . My tears smothered my entire face . My body shook intensely as though all the pores on my face were releasing my pain and suffering . I knelt on the ground and cried out in a voice unlike a human being .

“AAAAHHH!!! AAAHH!!! AAAAHHH!!!!”

I cried and screamed, releasing my final breaths . My vision got foggy due to my tears . I had moments where my vision went dark . My body wobbled as though I was going to drop to the ground . A few men grabbed me, but I felt that I had lost contact with all of my senses . I couldn’t hear anything other than Shusia’s wails .

“His Majesty has lost control of his emotions! Give him a tranquilizer! Hurry!!”

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Calm down! Your body will not be able to handle this…”

I felt a cold liquid run down the sides of my mouth . I coughed hard and spat out a red liquid . The doctor placed me on the bed and gave me another dose of the liquid .

I seemingly couldn’t make a sound . My vision became hazy as if the entire world was seemingly collapsing .

‘Let this world collapse . Just let it collapse . Will a new world be formed in its place after it collapses? Can it bring my Philes back? Can it bring my Mera, Luna and Philes back…? I would trade my Philes for ten Marvels . I want my Philes, right now!!’

‘Philes!!’

Shusia wiped her tears . She stood outside the tent . She took in a deep breath and forced herself to steady her tone, “How is His Majesty?”

“His Majesty has fallen asleep after taking the drug . However, he cries out every now and then . The impact of Philes’ departure is too big of a blow to His Majesty… The same goes for you . ”

The guard looked at Shusia in front of him hesitantly . He said, “Sorry… I am very sorry… Instructor Shusia… I know that you two intended to get married… Umm…”

Shusia wiped her tears and sobbed, “It’s all right . He died for His Majesty . He definitely has no resentment and won’t regret it… That was his glory . I… I am proud of him… I… I… Ugh… Ugh… Aaahhh!!! Aaahh!”
