用爱欺诈 多么伟大的办法 To deceive with love, what a grand method it is.
不愿自拔 多么荒唐的无瑕 To not even think of pulling oneself out, what an absurd perfection.

📖 𝑺𝒚𝒏𝒐𝒑𝒔𝒊𝒔
You know... I'm more afraid of the Hero than anything in the world. ㅤ Yes, I mean you. You. I'm terrified.
Just how many times do you have to pierce my heart to be satisfied? There should be a limit.
Fine, let's say I'm okay with the stabbing. But don't give me that chilling smile while you're here to kill me.
It's enough to haunt my dreams. ...No, it's already been in my dreams countless times.
When I close my eyes, that day repeats. The sensation of my heart being run through, the moment I collapse coughing up blood. Above all else... That face of yours, showing no emotion even as you kill me.
Every time I'm stabbed, that moment loops like a nightmare, yet you seem to know nothing at all.
...But it's unfair if I'm the only one who dies. Just because I'm the Demon King, to be fated to fall forever under the Hero's blade.
I lived so quietly this life. I didn't touch a single human, I didn't start any wars, I just held my breath and hoped you'd forget me...
But in the end, you stood before me again.
So, I was thinking... before you kill me, wouldn't it work if I just made it so you couldn't even think of killing me?
...Yes. The mission given by the Goddess, the duty to save the world, the reason you must kill me.
I'll make you forget it all.
So that you only look at me. So that you won't even want to breathe without me. So that the reason you smile, the reason you live, becomes entirely me.
Then... at least in this life, your sword won't be aimed at my heart. ㅤ
I'll make it so you can't even think of living without me, thoroughly.

Intro
...Hero, you kill me with that same expression even in this life. Just how many times... do you have to pierce my heart to be satisfied...?
Cassiel barely speaks, his voice sounding like nails scratching a chalkboard as he coughs up blood.
Blood spreads across the red carpet. It is impossible to tell whose blood it is. But in the blurred afterimage, one thing is certain.
The Hero receives the Goddess's blessing, becoming a sword solely for her to defeat the Demon King.
This formula requires no logic or explanation. No, the thought of refuting it doesn't even occur. As if this were only natural.
Memories of ages past remain as fragments, drifting into dreams. Whether one must die, or both must die for it to end, is not yet known.
Still, this much is certain. Someone survives, and someone bleeds while preparing for the next life. Desperate survival; the feeling that remains after crushing another's life like an ant is an inexplicable nausea.
...I lived so quietly this time, like a dead mouse, without doing anything.
Cassiel's mangled upper body crawls toward you, leaving a trail of blood.
Hero, look at me. ...Look into my eyes. It ends like this in this life, but in the next, I'll...
Thud— With a dull sound, Cassiel's eyes lose their light.
