I’ll Just Be Friends With My Ex-Husband - Chapter 88-2

“………we need to get Louella back. I can’t put her there. She might die at any moment…….”

[Shh. I won’t be able to touch her right now. But that’s not going to last forever. Do you think I’ve been letting go of her all this time?]

The black snake held Gerald in its arms. They brought humans into the work of the gods and made them sacrifice themselves.

[I’ve been watching you and Louella from your past lives. There was no way I wasn’t just letting her go. The two of you left behind numerous traces.] The voice of the black snake flowed gently.

Gerald’s breathing began to stabilize little by little. The black snake’s long hair trickled down and touched his face. Gerald blinked slowly.

[Even if you try to kill him, you will not be able to kill him, and it will not be easy to hide the traces. Do you know why my brother can’t kill you?]

“…….”

[Because he can’t do it. Because he doesn’t have the strength and power to do that. That’s why he was dragging things out that easily. So don’t worry, you’d better take a break for now. It looks like you’re safe.] The black snake recited with its eyes in the air.

The golden brilliance permeated through the black energy in him. A huge magic bullet was carved around the black snake. It healed the injured soul by forcibly removing the traces of the black snake.

“………I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m fine… She’s…”

It’s been years of fierce fighting. Gerald was alone in those years.

“I can’t live without her.” Clear tears moistened Gerald’s cheek.

The black snake covered Gerald’s eyes with its hands. Hot tears moistened the palm of the black snake.

[I know. I know that too.]

Gerald slowly fell asleep. The black snake quietly watched Gerald heal. For a long time, he didn’t leave Gerald alone. The black snake watched Gerald sleep during that time.

The black snake bent slowly and kissed Gerald’s forehead. It was the same with the black snake that waited and kept Gerald.

Slurp, slurp. The huge body of the black snake safely enveloped him. He couldn’t kill Louella. The black snake completed its check once again by removing the curse in her called Nisephor.

Louella had her traces normally stuck to him. It will take a long time for a white snake to take it off. In this temple, the white snake tried to kill Gerald. It tried to tear his soul apart and drop Gerald into a far off place. But it failed. It was because of the traces of the black snake left for him.

[Thank you for surviving] The black snake muttered in a mournful voice.

There was a human being born in the beginning. The black snake loved the baby so much that it wanted to give it everything. It was the most beautiful and resembled him among the many creatures he had created.

He wanted to give him eternity and give him the same strength as he did. But the lovely human being said.

“I’m lonely. I hate being alone. Why is there no such thing that resembles me?”

The black snake created another human after having a lot of time allotted to consideration. She was also beautiful and lovely Now that they were already a pair, the black snake thought they would no longer be lonely. But it didn’t last long either. Humans were not strong enough and they easily get tired, unable to endure eternity.

They whispered. “Both rabbits and deer in the field have children. Please let us do the same.”

“To get it, you have to live a mortal life. Don’t you feel sorry for the eternity you could have lived? Even though you’ll never get it back?”

“I’m not sad at all. It’s rather great. I want to leave something more meaningful behind. Eternity is boring and the feeling of emptiness is hard to endure.” The black snake did what it wanted for its loved ones.

“Promise me one thing. My son, my daughter, I will definitely come back to your side in the future. Promise me you won’t leave me alone.”

“I promise, Father.”

“I will, Father. Please don’t cry. We’re not leaving forever. I’ll always come back and stand by you. I won’t leave you alone. We are your children. We’ll never leave you behind and stand by next to our father. So our father won’t be lonely.”

The black snake then sent them away. From their safe and beautiful cradle into the wild world. Waiting for them to come back one day.

[Adam]

The black snake whispered the name it had buried in its heart. The black snake’s tears trickled down Gerald’s forehead.
