Chapter 35

“Cough, cough!”

coughed for a long time. Are you okay? As expected, seeing this. Karein, who had misunderstood, grabbed my shoulder and said seriously.

“If you go to Luce, you will feel better. Come with me.”

You’re not going alone, but with me? No, why? Why? I doubted my ears at the unexpected bombshell, but Karein’s expression was very serious. Oh my God. I stuttered and said in a hoarse voice.

“I’m sorry, that’s not possible.”

“…… Is it because of Abel?”

Why, like that. I felt sorry that the black eyes fluttered to the fullest, but I kept my mouth shut because it was clear that it would only make the situation worse if I said more. In the end, it was Karein who spoke again.

“…… He is gnawing at Lian. Didn’t he hurt you and be rude to you?”

It wasn’t wrong. Abel had been reckless from the first time we met. Even if it was a real swear word, he’d done it a few times. Still. I touched the bright red thread around my wrist.

“Sorry.”

“…… It’s because he’s holding Lian’s life.”

“No. Not because of that… ”

The moment I was about to say no, the barrier of the house shook violently. I got up and headed downstairs, feeling out of breath. He was standing in the hallway, soaking wet.

“You’re here?”

I’m about to approach him for fear of him saying anything else, but he raises his hand to stop me. As a gust of wind engulfed his body, his body, which was wet enough to drip with raindrops, dried up in an instant.

As expected, power is a good thing. Admiringly, I followed his hand gestures and approached him. Naturally, he grabbed my waist and pulled me into his arms. His cool palm touched my forehead.

“How do you feel?”

“It’s okay. Rather than that, we can go out of the Dark Age.”

“…… what?”

The red eyes hardened strangely. With half bitterness and half joy, I took a step back to Abel and delivered the news. I felt strangely guilty when he put me in his arms and told him.

“Saint Lucia has woken up. We now… ”

Shaak! A sharp sound rang in my ear. What, what? Before I could even close my startled eyes, I was startled by the smell of fishy blood. Abel’s forearm was stained black.

“…… you bastard.”

“Abel!”

The moment I was about to approach him, my body was pulled behind. Quaaaang, quang! At the same time as someone grabbed my shoulder, Abel’s slashes fell into place one after another.

“Stand back.”

The person who drew me with its power was none other than Karein. All of a sudden, Karein’s entire body, standing with a sword, glowed brightly. Suddenly, white wings sprouted from behind his back.

Obviously, in the Dark Age, it was said that the power of the gods weakened. What the hell happened? I glanced over at him with astonished eyes, and the inside of his hands and pockets gleamed particularly brightly. He had a glowstone.

‘I’ve been on the ground for a while.’

You’ve been accumulating power from above! My head was pounding and it hurt. Just as Abel’s strength grew when he gathered the spirits, the angels also seemed to gain strength when they received light. That was why Wazowski suddenly became wary of Karein!

“You …… You dare betray me?”

You won’t even be able to reincarnate, I’ll change your soul. Abel gripped his burnt shoulders and grunted his teeth. His arm, hit by her light sword, burns up like a flame, and begins to damage his shoulders and wings.

Abel! As I tried to come closer, he grabbed my shoulders once more. I wanted to shake the hand away, but my body stiffened and didn’t move.

“Aren’t you going to put that hand away?!”

Abel’s eyes lit up red as if Karein was hugging me from behind. Energy was gathering in Abel’s strong grip, and the moment the reaper scythe was about to be created, Karein grabbed my waist.

“Ack!”

“……… Forgive me.”

“Hey, Karein! Ack! Let go, Abel! Aackk!”

“Hey!!!!!”

A heavenly god who held me with one hand, spread its pure white wings. Quang! Although he was greatly staggered by the attack from below, he continued to move forward. The white wings that occupied the sky of the dark age stood out unparalleled.

“Aackk! Aaahhh!”

It was. I was being kidnapped by Karein.

“Crazy! You must be crazy! What’s wrong with you?! Karein! You weren’t like this…… Laytan!”

At that time, fortunately or unfortunately, just at the same time, at the entrance, I ran into a person who was leaning on his motorcycle smoking a cigarette.

The entrance to Dark Age is in the shape of a narrow cliff, so there was a section where you had to walk for a while even if you had wings, but Laytan was blocking right in front of it.

“What is that? After all, you do change men, right?”

“No! Please help!”

If you have eyes, look! Everyone can tell I’m being kidnapped! As Karein slowed down, I called out to him as if screaming. Hey, Laytan with a wrinkled brow grumbled.

“Hey, every time I see something, you call me for help… ”

“Get out of the way.”

“…… This filthy bastard is arrogant!”

Who are you giving orders to? Huh? Do you know who I am?! Laytan, growling, threw a cigarette in front of him, but it was slightly offset by Karein’s gesture. The power of light from Karein that was fully charged seemed to be very strong.

“I don’t have time to deal with you. Get out of the way.”

Kireukkireuk, then, from afar, evil spirits that seemed to be Abel’s servants began to come all at once. Look at this bastard, Laytan showed his teeth as if he had understood the situation only then.

“This is stealing. Didn’t you learn what happens when you touch other people’s things? I thought you were from Luce, so you’re lame, did Assand teach that way? Huh?”

“…… Are you taking his side because you’re of the same demigod?”

“How dare you say that? Am I and that little bastard the same? It’s ok, give it to me when I’m still saying it nicely.”

“It is not your business. Why are you suddenly doing this to someone who is famous for trivializing humans? ”

“This is my first aid kit, f*** you!”

Boom! Lightning struck in front of me. It was so loud that it made a beeping sound in my ears for a while. Hey, I’m here too! Terrified but unconcerned, Laytan roared and concentrated all his attention on hitting Karein.

Bang, bang! Although the lightning struck continuously, Karein, who managed to avoid it, escaped the cliff and flew into the sky lightly.

“F***, catch that bastard! If you miss it, I will kill you!”

*

Even after coming to the earth, the demons persistently pursued us. The problem was that it didn’t save me, it only interfered with Karein’s flight, making me more dangerous.

“…… Uhh!”

Karein killed them one by one, but he couldn’t use his sword properly because he was holding me. Of course, it didn’t last long and we went down.

Uwaaaaaaaaa, Aegis! It was close to a miracle that I came up with the shield while I was falling. Tong, Tong, Tong! Thanks to the huge shield, after getting caught in a tree branch and rolling on the grass, luckily I survived.

“…… are you, are you okay?”

“Not at all!”

Would it be okay, we both almost died! I was so moved that I wanted to pour out cursing, but even when I fell, he embraced me with his whole body and I couldn’t even curse at Karein, who was twice injured.

“It is not too late now. Come ba… ”

It was when I calmly opened my mouth after taking a deep breath and holding back my anger superhumanly. Huh, an unfamiliar pain tightened my chest.

“Miss Lian!!!”

As I panted from the terrible pain that squeezed my heart out, and the face of Karein who was holding me back turned pale. The trembling, bloody hands caress my cheek.

“You can’t. You can’t. Please…… anyone? Please help!”

“…… Excuse me, are you okay?”

As if waiting, a thin voice could be heard over the bright sunlight. There stood a woman in a sky blue robe.

The pain intensified as soon as I met the deep blue eyes, I intuitively realized. The female lead, this is Saint Lucia.

“Please, please help her.”

She is a precious person to me. With Karein’s urgent voice, I lost my consciousness.
