Chapter 4

‘It’s real. It’s actually real.’

I felt a sense of madness and despair together.

“Crazy, you’re crazy, Ophelia. Damn, what the hell is this. You crazy bitch…”

Ophelia was absolutely insane.

“Really, your strength… You must be saving me.”

Somehow, my heart was pounding, and I let out a long breath.

I hadn’t cried since that day when I held Archie in my arms, and I had no time or energy to cry after, which was one of the things I was so proud of.

However, I could feel my eyes quickly getting wet, overshadowing the record. I closed my eyes tightly and pushed it back.

“I don’t appreciate it, Ophelia.”

Then her eyes widened and she murmured.

As in <Ophelia and the Night>, her powers are keeping me alive, so <Ophelia and the Night> is no longer just my imagination.

If I stayed like this, it would be my dead end, just like Aisa Mcfoy. There wasn’t time.

The power of this world was the only power that the empire believed in. The power of God, and the power of god is omnipotent, so the use of it was not limited to healing. The force could be physically exercised depending on how it was used.

If you found the flow of power, it was easy after that. You could take as much strength as you needed and head where you wanted to use it. It’s very simple in words. It’s actually simpler than breathing if you have a talent for it.

T/N: understand that the power she is talking about is holy powers Nyx has magic powers and Ml has Magic powers as well as swordsmanship power.

I immediately decided to release the restraints on my hands and feet, which were the easiest thing to do for the first time.

Trying to make as little sound as possible, I’m doing it gently.

I tried to repeat the plan and moved the pious flow through my body. Sweat came out on my forehead as I was giving it my all.

Soon, the flow began to take a twist.

‘Really?’

I cheered inside.

‘Now, only the restraints are dang-.’

Suddenly, a flash of white light swept through the prison. In the same way that a flash of light before a lightning strike illuminates the world, it was centered on me.

I overlooked three facts.

First, control training and safety education should precede execution.

Second, Ophelia’s power is the closest to God in history.

Finally, I’m not exactly a genius.

There was no way that such a tremendous power could be controlled on the first try unless it was the main character like Ophelia.

If a beginner uses their powers without a safety device or guardian, or if he or she uses it to break something, there may be a major accident that sometimes blows up the building. I just overlooked that point.

Oh my God, that’s right. It’s not good to just cut off the restraints. I guess I was in a hurry considering I managed to even forget something that simple because the most difficult way to control anything is to be delicate.

I felt a terrible sense of floating and looked back on the factors of failure.

But unfortunately, it was already too late. As if a ripple was centered around me, the wall dividing the cell was blown up part after another, and I could see the iron bars flying in the distance.

“Ah Ophelia. You’re fucking strong”

Soon the ceiling collapsed downward, and the floor on which I was crouching began to sink with me.

The walls were struck down one after the other, and I could see guards or cultists guarding the outside. They too were flying wildly.

They all had similar expressions. The faces of bewilderment, surprise, and fear upon seeing the destruction.

My expression wasn’t much different either. What kind of self-destruction is this?

The scene where everything flew around me and the faces of the nerdy Nyx fanatics flowed in slow motion.

I soon felt my heart escaping from my body and began to fall quickly with the rocks. It was such a sudden accident that I couldn’t scream in the middle of the fall.

This wasn’t my plan. I was going to head to the outer wall quietly and faster than anyone else, and I was going to pierce the outer wall as small as possible and leave.

But contrary to the ambitious plan, I was only falling with my mouth wide open.

The floor was two stories down, a rough stone floor, and I was falling with my head down, and I didn’t want to imagine what would happen if I fell on that stone floor.

“… Aahhhh!”

When I realized the fact, a scream came out automatically.

At the same time, there was another flash of light around me, and then, with a bang, everything around me began to crumble again, as if by instinct.

From that moment on, I fell, just crying and trying to eat mustard.

“Aaaah!”

The unknown spirit was also an instinct.

For the Nyx fanatics, it would have been like a vertical fall as the bomb continued to explode.

I had no intention of making such a grand escape, trying to sneak out as far as possible unnoticed by the watchers, using a shortcut through the floor.

The fall was only a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity. At this point, I couldn’t remember my original plan. I could only see the crisis of the fall that was right in front of me.

Again the stone floor came closer. I still hoped that the stone floor would split open.

However, the stone floor, which was getting closer and closer, showed no signs of collapsing. It wasn’t even scratched.

“What? Why isn’t it breaking?”

Dozens of thoughts crossed my mind in that short moment.

“Oh my God! Stop, stop! Oh, Ophelia!”

I screamed for Ophelia in a hurry, though I don’t know why.

“Ahhhh”!

I closed my eyes tightly in anticipation of the shocking pain at the end of the final scream.

“…”

But there was no pain. I didn’t feel any pain in my body, and the rubble of the building that fell with me hit the floor, split, and the powder flew away.

There was a moment of silence.

“The prisoners are running away!”

“Catch the witch!”

“Bring Mr. Nyx!”

A few moments later, an urgent cry of fanatics could be heard.

“Ugh!”

I opened my eyes with a hasty breath, my body floating a little off the floor.

“What, what.”

As soon as I muttered stupidly, some force that supported my body disappeared.

“Ugh-!”

I was thrown lightly on the stone floor. I had a tingling pain in my tailbone.

“Catch the prisoner!”

Before I knew it, I heard a thunderous roar overhead, like the roar of knights announcing the start of a hunting contest.

I looked up, my face shaking. The lunatics were jumping from each floor, towards me.

The sight was spectacular in many ways. If the legend of a king’s 3,000 court ladies was real, would it have felt like this? It was awful.

I felt a new surge of blood pressure as they jumped one after another.

“Those crazy bastards!”

My legs did not move like my mind, but I started to run as soon as I could. The road was without a wall, and I was headed toward the outer wall.

“I’m going to kill them all…!”

I ran like crazy, throwing a murder notice at an unspecified number of people. It’s been a long time since I ran like this.

I am a McFoy. The McFoy family was now the richest in the empire. The McFoy that I had saved and rebuilt was no longer only a family of swordsmen, but a family of wealth. It was a result well reflecting the trend of the era when trade began to flourish.

‘I haven’t even needed to walk lately, let alone run.’

The wealthy lady had no particular use for her leg muscles. Still, the sloppy running was even sloppier with the sloppy dress and restraints that couldn’t be cut properly.

Even the restraint was attached to the chain that originally connected it to the wall jingled with every movement.

I believed in Ophelia’s omnipotence and released my powers indiscriminately, running in a straight line to escape in the shortest distance, breaking through all the barriers, and moving forward, a strategy that took into account my poor physical ability.

“What is it!”

But there was a wall that couldn’t be broken like this stone floor that I am running now.

Everything that Tantaros was made of had the power of Nyx. It was right that ordinary forces could not crush this building.

But I’m using the power of Ophelia, the most powerful woman in the world. Is there anything you couldn’t destroy?

Is it possible for something to be stronger than this? Then how?

… Can’t I use all of Ophelia’s power? Indeed, it was possible because this body was not Ophelia’s.

Then if things get complicated. We may not be able to breach the outer wall.

“Damn it!”

I screamed nauseously and ran for the wall that I could break down, my sense of direction was disrupted, and in a moment’s hesitation, the fanatic’s roar drew near.

“It’s a witch! Get her!”

“Nyx! Nyx! Let’s take that witch to Mr. Nyx! “

‘Fucking Nyx!’

The thunderous shouts and footsteps of the fanatics.

The regular sound of chains

Breathing at my limit.

I was almost out of my mind. The shouts and footsteps were getting closer. Looking back, I could now see the silhouette of the fanatics.

‘Shit, shit, shit. Where’s the outside wall? Where the hell is it?’

I was so nervous that I couldn’t see anything, and my vision began to blur.

When I glanced back again, the group of fanatics was closer.

Narrow and elongated pupils, jaundice, black complexion. Even while running, the side effects of the curse were visible. That’s how close they were to me. Of course, I had to be pissed off.

“Oh, get out of my way!”

When I saw the terrible shapes approaching me, I spit a scream out.

And when the lead fanatic’s fingertips caught and missed the hem of my dress-.

“Ah!”

I lost my balance and slid forward violently.

‘I’m doomed… I guess I’m going to die. Whatever I do, I’m going to die.’

I felt a maddening feeling of despair and swept the rough stone floor with my whole body.
