CH 72

: hatch (4)

A red wave swept through the forest.

Jamie soared into the air, performing several defensive spells in a row.

The moment it touched the magic, any kind of defense magic rotted and rotted. There was a difference in power, but it was the power of corrosion contained in Reeta's magic energy.

'It's awful.'

The ability to release such things in large quantities was truly a master class.

The problem was that he had to survive that.

Jamie activated Leviathan. The darkness of gluttony came out like a snake and devoured the Magi.

Five! Are you using a funny power?"

Reeta smiled happily as she watched the darkness that jumped out like a snake and devoured the Magi.

He knew that among the fallen human wizards there were those who wield the power of darkness.

Were you called a warlock?

I was curious because I had never actually seen it before, but I was very happy because the first human I met on Earth was a warlock.

"The soul seems to be quite peculiar, too."

He wet his lips with his tongue and muttered.

Unlike the small body, the soul was seriously enlarged.

The size of the soul symbolizes the level accumulated over time, and that human body and soul are in inverse proportion.

I don't know how it exists, but Reeta wasn't the type to bother thinking about the reason.

"Very tasty for a first meal!"

A massive amount of red magic began to swirl around him.

It's been a long battle

Compared to his opponent, he was far below him, but it was perfect for relaxing.

He is a human being who is enough to eat and play with a little.

The black flames in Reeta's eyes burned fiercely.

"You're going to have to pour out your everything. little human."

Magi's vortex struck Jamie.

'You're going to play with me.'

Jamie thought as he absorbed the magic that was rushing to the Leviathan.

'Should I say I'm happy? He has the ability to subdue me in an instant, but if he doesn't, he might be looking for an opportunity to turn around... .'

Realistically, I didn't think of 'win'.

If he is a Baron of the Demon World, he belongs to the lower ranks of the Master Class.

If the demon world is sensitive to the weak and strong food, it will be more sensitive to the details of power, so no more.

However, there is no vain hope that it will turn around.

Even a sub-master class.

There was a gap that couldn't be narrowed with who he is now.

So, from now on, I had to focus only on successfully escaping.

'By now, both the Marquis and the Pyro Church must have marched here.'

The demons have descended.

No one could have felt it.

I don't know if they can stop it with their power, but at least they'll be able to keep their feet tied.

If the nearest sword master or archmage comes after that, even Reeta, who is called the Baron Zeal, will use this place as a tomb.

'Beiryl Onyx. If only the yangban remained.'

If he was reputed to be a fairly strong axis among the sword masters, he would have killed a baron in the Demon World.

But what do you do when you find someone who doesn't exist? For now, he had to focus on surviving.

'I'm worried about Azad and Bena.'

Although he had run away quite a distance, Reeta's magic continued to spread in order to corrode the entire forest.

Hahaha! more! Try to avoid it a little harder!"

A mockery of an annoying demon could be heard from below.

"You really are an annoying bastard."

Jamie frowned, slicing through the magi with a wind sharpened like a blade.

Even if the vortex of Magi was removed and eliminated, it was slowly approaching Jamie, encircling her.

Can you really survive here?

'It's a series of trials.'

Jamie was only collecting as much mana as possible and using magic.

* * *

Azad was running away from the coming waves of magic. Bena, who had lost consciousness, was held in his arms.

"Damn, Shit, Shit, Shit!"

If you are swept away by the blood-red waves that rot the forest at a tremendous rate, even the undead yourself will die.

To an undead who had already died, 'death' was almost impossible, but Azad was feeling a crisis.

"How is the master !"

I sensed that the lich old man had been countersummoned.

The only remaining undead is himself.

Perhaps it was because of this pink-haired girl that she had left her alone.

'Can you deal with it?'

Azad has always thought that his master was a wonderful person. Although he was young, he thought that it would be difficult to find an opponent among humans due to his deep inner strength and great power.

But the monster at the center of that terrible power was different.

Wouldn't it be difficult for the owner who has always overcome crises to survive this time alone?

'The fact that I am still being maintained is proof that the master is still alive .'

The master class was an Azad I had never experienced before, so ominous thoughts swirled in my head.

Yes ."

At that moment, Bena groaned and slowly opened her eyes.

She struggled a few times with her heavy eyelids, then slowly looked around.

It's okay?

" What happened?"

Bena tilted her head as she felt her body shake while being lifted up by someone.

She recalled her last memory before she lost consciousness.

'After I gave her a shot .'

A special power that had been sleeping on the hammer was awakened and caused a great explosion.

However, Kanna survived the explosion and slammed Bena's head to the ground.

Bena's memories were there.

It looked like he was trying to do something more, but a big shock hit his head and he lost consciousness.

"Your master has told you to run away."

It was only then that Bena could see the person holding her and running.

I don't know the name, but it was one of Jamie's special undead.

"My, take it down."

"Can you stand?"

Azad looked back and asked.

The waves of Magi were still chasing them, but their speed slowed down.

With a bit of leeway, I carefully set Bena down under the tree. Even so, he did not let go of the tension so that he could carry him back as soon as it became dangerous.

"Whew ."

Bena let out a short breath and gave strength to her trembling legs.

It was not the only shock that accumulated on the body. Even getting up was difficult.

Then, he found the waves of Magi coming to this place, swallowing up trees and grass.

"I, what is that?"

"It's a demon. The master is blocking you."

"A demon?! Finally, you woke up... ."

I shouldn't have fainted

It was a sin to be weak. If it had been stronger, there would have been no such thing as a fainting, and even less so would the demons wake up.

However, the spilled water could not be picked up.

"Then the Master is in there ?"

Yes.

"I have to go too."

no. It will only get in the way."

As Azad calmly blocked it, Bena held onto her torn skirt tightly.

"Even if I die. I'm going to get some time and die. So stay out of it."

"Your master has ordered you to run away as far as you can."

"Even with force ね!"

As Bena tried to push Azad down with her superpowers, a pain as if her whole body was going to be cut off.

It seemed that the pain that had been sleeping was also awakened at the same time as the mind was fully awakened.

She grabbed her body and sat down.

"You can't do anything with that body. I'll hold you and run away, so be quiet.

haha! No, Master... !"

"Useless stubbornness ."

The moment Azad approached her to hug her again, his figure froze and disappeared like a lie.

Bena's eyes widened in the sudden situation.

I had an idea flashing in my mind.

'The undead disappears regardless of the master's will, only when there is a problem with the master.'

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

At that moment, a bright red pillar soared up in the sky.

The morale that made me sick just by looking at it spread throughout the forest.

Bena clutched her chest.

The pupils dilated and the wider world came into the eyes clearly.

And a boy was caught in Bena's eyes.

The boy, half covered in blood, was falling to the ground from a bloody pillar.

"Mas foundation.

A beating heart was beating at short intervals.

My head didn't get hot and it turned white.

The time since I first met him flashed through my mind.

For the first time, he held out his unfaltering hand to himself.

In that hand, Bena saw hope and experienced happiness that she had never experienced in 10 years of hell.

I didn't want to lose.

I still don't know if it's a Valkyrie or what, but I've grown stronger and vowed to be helpful to the person who took me away.

But many times it failed.

A kid who was only ahead of his will. Come to think of it, I've never been good at anything.

So I wanted to do well.

'I want to do well too!'

I don't want to disappoint.

All I wanted was that.

Have you decided to sympathize with her will?

[Fun.]

A voice came in my mind.

And the ring began to emit light.

[Young Valkyrie. A Valkyrie who inherited thick blood.]

Bena got up from her seat, surrounded by white light.

[The time is not ripe yet, but I will allow it for today.]

Her pink hair was dyed more intensely. Behind his back, particles of light clustered to form wings.

Bena was not surprised by the new change.

I couldn't afford it.

[Wherever you go, run wild.]

At the words of the voice, Bena spread her wings wide.

It was the wings of a bright yellow butterfly.

master!

And Bena moved.

to repay the favor.

* * *

Jamie smiled bitterly.

Struggling was just struggling.

He went through several crises, but somehow managed to overcome them.

But this time it seemed to be difficult.

'I don't know why there are so many obstacles standing in my way.'

Can you survive this time?

Jamie wasn't sure.

bled too much

giggle... .

Black clings to his body and continues to use healing magic, but Black was also part of Jamie in the end.

It was only a temporary turnaround, but it couldn't be a solution.

"Have you given up?"

A disgusting voice was heard from below.

Jamie turned her head.

Reeta is smiling happily with her arms crossed.

When I saw that face, I got dizzy and my head was dizzy.

'Are you feeling dizzy from lack of blood?'

I'm starting to get confused about what it is.

Jamie raised his mana just before hitting the ground and landed softly. There was no stamina left to keep flying magic, so I had no choice but to land like this.

Because magic puts a strain on the body just by using it.

'If only a little bit more of the energy of the Life Orb was left.'

If it had been resolved through dialogue with Theberon from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened.

'Are you going to send it to Theberon?'

I think that ignorant monstrous bear will do something.

'no. If that happens, the entire ruins might be ruined.'

complacency is bad

Although Theberon is strong, there is a high possibility of being unilaterally defeated by Reeta, who has the power of corrosion.

And since it's impossible to drop it as a ruin, Reeta won't fall just because the door below is open.

'What seals Theberon's magic in the ruins?'

This is also impossible.

Reeta is an existence that surpasses the power of the ruins.

The reason why the power of the ruins absolutely worked on Jamie and Bena was simply because Theberon was stronger.

"Can you hear the sound of rolling your head all the way here?"

Reeta was arrogant.

No, demons are always arrogant towards the weak.

So, he was vigilant, but unfortunately, it was very rare that the situation was reversed because he was vigilant only to the weak.

'Are you going to waste time with conversation?'

I don't know when the Marquis' forces and the Pyro army will arrive, but if you're as arrogant as I am, hopefully you'll get some time.

After making a decision, Jamie spoke up.

"What's going on here Great!"

"You don't want to talk?"

A thorn protruded from Reeta's body and pierced Jamie's shoulder.

Fit geek!

A startled Black flapped his wings and flew around Jamie.

That damn thorn bastard!

Jamie struggled to pull out the thorn that had pierced his shoulder. It's already in a state of not being able to recover, but to increase the wound by another.

"I think he's trying to buy time, but I'm not stupid enough to wait patiently."

"Ugh, you dirty bastard."

"Did you know that even a warlock is terribly dirty?"

"Is it only you who live in the gutter?"

"That kind of provocation is not good."

"Ok!"

This time the right thigh was pierced.

Whether it was fun to struggle in pain, Reeta laughed cheerfully.

I want to feed him properly, but I can't... .

'uh?'

It was time for Jamie to come up with all kinds of methods in his head and erase them over and over again.

Something was fast approaching here.

Reeta frowned as if she had noticed too, and looked back.

"My Magi?"

He was coming here, breaking through the magic that Reeta had unfolded at a tremendous speed.

Surprised, Reeta turned her body towards it. Jamie contorted her face at her defenseless back.

It was an obvious disregard.

It could also be said that it was the leisure of the strong who said that he did not care if he showed his back to the little ones.

Jamie clenched her teeth and stretched out her right hand.

"Then let's eat somewhere ."

thud-!

That was then.

Reeta's magic, which had risen as high as a wall, exploded as if it had been hit by a shell.

And like a waterfall, the rain of magic poured down towards them.

Queek!

Black clings to Jamie's back and inflates his wings. And I quickly escaped my master from the pouring magic.

Meanwhile, Jamie couldn't take her eyes off the hole in Magi's wall.

He mumbled with an unbelievable face.

"I hope this power is ."

A bright light emanated from the hole.

Then, the wings of butterflies that scatter beautiful light particles appeared.

Jamie's eyes widened.

A woman with butterfly wings, with a pink hammer in her hand, fluttering beautiful red hair, completely different from the bright red magi.

Jamie remembered the beautiful Valkyrie he had seen a long time ago.

But not that Valkyrie.

That woman was definitely the girl he knew.

vena?!

As Jamie shouted in a bewildered voice, Bena circled the sky and rushed towards the ground.

master! Trust me!"

She fluttered her red hair and held up her hammer.

"Ha ha ha ha! What else is this?"

Reeta smiles happily.

He leapt towards Bena, emitting black flames from his eyes more intensely.

A hammer and blade-covered fist collided.

But it was none other than Bena who pushed first.

"Get away!"

this!

Reeta's body was firmly buried in the ground.

Bena slung the hammer over her shoulder and snorted hard.

And when she found Jamie, she smiled and shouted.

"I'm here!"

While proudly drawing the letter V.
