I Have a Sailing Game

Chapter 392 - 246: Sela, You Are Not Devout

After thinking it over, Rogel decided to set this matter aside for now.

"I need to see what the other options lead to before deciding."

Rogel rubbed his hands together.

He planned to first look into the options relating to the fortress line.

After saving a file that unlocked the "Isle of Filth," Rogel returned to the moment when the Tooth Spirit was pleading with Qina.

[Slay this beast, but death matters not / Don’t kill Him, spare me]

He chose the latter, eagerly awaiting the outcome.

[You realized you were about to die, and a surge of desire for survival burst forth, making your previous bravado and courage at the cliff’s edge seem meaningless before death.]

[You shouted loudly for mercy, begging Qina to spare the Tooth Spirit, or you were doomed.]

[Hearing your cries, Qina fell silent.]

[He couldn’t understand where your initial courage had gone and why you became so cowardly at this moment.]

[Meanwhile, you began to struggle continuously, causing cracks to appear in the fusion between you and Qina, and His strength quickly waned.]

[Seizing Qina’s moment of hesitation, a fierce look flashed in the Tooth Spirit’s eyes, and it took the opportunity to attack Qina, gravely injuring Him until He collapsed.]

[It seemed as though because you lost your fearlessness and courage, Qina could not merge with you and manifested His true form as light.]

[The weakened Qina lay on the ground, unwilling and barely alive.]

[The Tooth Spirit did not immediately devour Qina but approached you instead.]

[You begged loudly, licking the Tooth Spirit’s feet like a subservient pup, expressing your piety and loyalty.]

[But the Tooth Spirit merely sneered at Qina.]

["Qina, your choice is just as poor as ever."]

[Afterward, He set His gaze on you, without hesitation gripping your throat, His sharp claws slowly piercing your heart.]

["Look at you, tsk tsk, like a desperately struggling and despairing little rabbit..."]

["Honestly, your baseness surprises even me; first, you betrayed me, then you betrayed Qina..."]

["Let me take a look at this cowardly heart of yours..."]

[The Tooth Spirit opened up your chest, glanced at the live heart, then disdainfully discarded it on the ground, and you died in despair and terror...]

[Before you died, you saw the Tooth Spirit crouching behind Qina and beginning to devour him.]

[But what happens next has nothing to do with a coward who flees in the final moment...]

[Exploration Level: 90%]

[Ending Achieved: The Pathetic Coward.]

[Gift Bestowed...]

Upon reaching this point, Rogel logged out.

This ending was as expected.

At the last critical moment, Sela’s fear of death ultimately turned her into a pathetic coward.

Not only did she cause the death of Qina, who trusted her enough to merge with her, but she also met with the most miserable end.

The key point is that this ending doesn’t unlock a new scene, making it distressing for Rogel to watch.

A point that amused Rogel in this ending was that even after the Tooth Spirit extracted Sela’s heart, He disdainfully tossed it aside.

To be despised by that foul hyena, the Tooth Spirit, certainly merits the description "pathetic."

"Let’s try the previous turning point."

Rogel tried another turning point.

That was Sela’s choice after discovering the truth in the books.

[Take the Stone of Qina / Do nothing]

[Facing the imminent arrival of the Tooth Spirit Knight and followers, you hesitated.]

[In your view, human sacrifice was too evil; it had no reason to exist, regardless of the cause.]

[Ultimately, you let go of your hand, deciding to do nothing.]

[After all, the Tooth Spirit’s teachings convinced you that a bright future awaited, with no human sacrifice.]

[Giving them the Stone of Qina might bring a beautiful future to Qina Island.]

[However, after the Tooth Spirit’s people arrived, a knight’s body suddenly transformed.]

[He grew deep brown fur, his body surged in size, and his back slowly hunched.]

[Ultimately, you were shocked to see the totem identical to the Tooth Spirit statue come to life before your eyes at that moment.]

"Hiss..."

Upon seeing this, Rogel couldn’t help but be startled.

It seemed the Tooth Spirit was monitoring the progress everywhere.

If Sela hadn’t run, this being would appear here too.

But that also made sense.

After all, the Tooth Spirit’s initial goal must have been the Stone of Qina.

[After the Tooth Spirit appeared, His servants automatically withdrew, eventually standing before you, His cold gaze fixed on you.]

["Sela... I remember you, the noble daughter of Qina Island, who returned to the fortress on Qina Island, risking danger to spread the Tooth Spirit’s gospel, determined to show your resolve even in captivity..."]

[You felt an inexplicable honor, flattered, randomly and piously falling to your knees, making prayer gestures of the Tooth Spirit, offering your praise to Him.]

[Then, you explained the origin of the Stone of Qina and your people’s dilemmas, firmly believing that the Tooth Spirit would bring peace and prosperity to Qina Island.]

[No human sacrifice would occur again.]

[However, something unexpected happened.]

["But you are not pious, Sela..."]

[The cold and hoarse voice echoed by your ear, as sharp claws sliced open your throat.]

[You died.]

...

"Hmm..."

"It seems the Tooth Spirit truly is insidious and petty-minded."

Rogel clicked his tongue, but he also understood why the Tooth Spirit had to kill Sela.
