Chapter 183

Jeopuk.

Just in time, the opponent took the last step and stopped.

A handsome man with long black hair stood next to the throne and looked down at me with an unforgettable smile on his face.

Its been a while, Ellet Rodellaine.

As always, an eerie voice with a deceptive mix of tension and intimidation. I hated myself for reacting to that deep tone.

Reed.

I put my free left hand behind my back and glared hard at him. I consciously tried not to look at Thesilid attached to the wall.

After keeping eye contact with Reed for a while without saying a word, his mouth formed a deeper curve.

Well done, Ellet Rodellaine.

What do you mean?

If you had so much as glimpsed behind to look at the bug from the 17th round, I was going to kill it.

I didnt bother to show my agitation by taking a big breath here.

From the sounds of it, Terrys still alive.

Of course. I havent sent it to round eighteen yet. The fact that your left hand heals proves effective, is enough confirmation, no?

I cant believe you think I wouldnt notice that.

Caught red-handed, I reached out my hand and outright healed Thesilid. Reed didnt stop me.

Unless I could remove the auror blades that had pierced his chest, the degree of cure my heals could provide was limited anyway.

I did not stop holding on to Tesilids life while I scrutinized Reed. In fact, my eyes never left Reeds gaze for even a second from the moment he appeared.

Why are you here?

Any encounter between you and me is no less than a recipe for disaster.

Im sure you realize its best if we dont meet.

I strengthened my expression which kept distorting and continued talking.

Did you come to vent your anger because your plan to kill two of Vinchesters royal family went awry?

Well.

State your purpose clearly.

Only then can I use Descent of Divinity to fight. But Reed tilted his head at an angle, relaxed and without any intention to start a conflict.

Would you believe me if I said I came to see your face?

Ill pretend to believe you. Now that youve seen it, will you please back off?

Lets talk a little more.

Reed ran one hand along the back of the throne and smiled.

There is only one seat. Would you like to sit down?

I decline.

Such pity. Guests are encouraged to take a seat for a pleasant time. If thats the case

In the moment when he rolled his eyes and looked to the left.

Cough!

Terry!

Thesilids position shifted once more, his body slamming down onto the throne as if he were roughly seated. Fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Reed!

If you call for me so desperately-.

Reeds right hand dug into Thesilids silver hair like a pitchfork and mercilessly tugged at his hair.

Ill want to hear more, Ellet Rodelline.

Guk!

Thesilids head snapped up, and he let out a strangled groan. His eyelids trembled, slowly revealing his sea-green eyes.Geett the latest novels on no/v/elbin(.)c/om

The unfocused eyes turned towards me in front.

Eli

Despite his horrific injuries, he was regaining consciousness.

That gave me no relief. If anything, it brought a sense of crisis that made my fingertips tingle in coldness.

A pure white expression that even forgot pain stared at me.

As if asking for an answer.

I had the illusion that his sea-green eyes were shaking as if they were about to break. Even though theres no way I could see something like that from this distance.

Well, I suppose so. Youll need him to save the world.

It felt like poison was seeping into my ears. I snapped my head up and glared at Reed.

Now I understand.

What makes Reed tick is an unbearable amount of self-loathing and self-destruction.

From the beginning, his target was Thesilid.

Shut up, Reed.

Youre making a violent remark. Did I hit the nail on the head?

No, never.

It cant be. Is there any other value to a bug like this?

Reed spoke so to make Thesilid hear.

In response, I also spoke as if I was pressing each syllable into his ear.

You said it yourself. There are things I want to keep by my side even if I dont need them.

I took my gaze away from Reeds frozen face and continued talking to Thesilid, who was staring at me as if he had lost his soul.

To me, Tesillid is like that. If the need youre talking about is saving the world, then well be together even if we cant save the world.

At this moment, the expressions of the two protagonists were sharply different.

Sea-blue eyes widen to the limit as if theyve heard something unexpected. Thesilid bit his lip and closed his eyes. It was impossible to tell if he was laughing or crying.

Meanwhile, Reed

Its a deception.

He was emitting a cold aura that was enough to freeze the air in the throne room to white.

There is no need to save the world. But you also say no to destruction? Thats a deception, Ellet Rodelline.

Dont push me by saying things with no middle ground.

No, you want to stay with this guy because you can prevent destruction just by having him around. In the end, its a matter of necessity.

I dont think we can communicate. As expected, a conversation between us is expecting too much!

My leg slammed into the floor.

Bang!

The full force of the Queens Might was unleashed on my two feet. I used the earth-shattering destructive force as the driving force to create overwhelming speed.

I quickly broke through the siege of Aura Blades and approached the throne.

I tried to find a gap in Reed until I arrived roughly ten steps from the throne, but there was nothing. Then-.

We must save Thesilid.

Come on, quickly.

Before the crazed 100th episode shakes Thesilids mind any further!

Five steps forward.

<Ellet, back!>

More than twenty Aura Blades were chasing me. I extended my whip-sword to block the blades approach.

I ducked and weaved my body to avoid the blades as they fell through the gaps in my parry.

Two steps.

There was nothing I could do about the sharp blade slicing through my body. Even though I was hurt, I approached Reed.

One last step!

Reed!

Quaaaang!

I leaped and struck Reeds head with an aura-laden sword, but he leisurely spread one hand and set up a barrier.

Through the transparent wall with sparks crackling across its surface, he spoke.

Thesilid Argent.

Not to me, but to Thesilid.

Ill tell you why Ellet Rodellaine needs you.
