Episode 92
I didn’t know if anyone else knew it but Eugene’s testimony might be useful.
As Trump’s son, his testimony was sure to have considerable credibility.
“I didn’t see it in person, so this is all I can say.”
Eugene sighed and talked.
“But, for some reason, I told you that the monster that the horseman saw was right. No matter how much I looked at, the monster described by the horseman and the monster we saw are very similar in appearance.”
“That’s true.”
I chewed my nail thumb.
There were a lot of cases that I kept hearing, but it was frustrating because I couldn’t get the proof.
‘If I catch them on the spot and show them the tenses as evidence, will they believe me then?’
Well, there is no other way than to raid on the spot and make it into a barrel.
The problem was that no matter how hard I try, it was not easy for me to risk my life, and the monster did not show up at my disposal.
“I get it anyway. Thank you for telling me, Eugene.”
There was a good chance of breaking into our province if the monster had been seen in Dainard.
‘I’ll have to be careful for now.’
Thinking so, I tapped Eugene on the shoulder.
“I won’t disturb you anymore, so train. Oh, but force yourself too much.”
Eugene grinned and laid down my arm.
“You think I’m you. I don’t do that stupid thing.”
“Are you stupidly dismissing me as an idiot? Would you like to train with a frozen pine tree in a cold, empty snowfield?”
Then Eugene replied with a cheeky smile.
“That’s not bad either. I’ll try to practice my flame magic then.”
“Oh, you’ve gotten better at joking. What’s up with a man like a stone? Did you practice how to joke around by any chance?”
“You said one more thing, Spade.”
He laughed as he poked his mouth with his arms folded.
“Okay, I’m really going now.”
“Yeah.”
Upon hearing Eugene’s answer, I turned towards the exit.
And the moment I put my hand on the doorknob to go out, I heard the floor thump.
‘Hmm? Is someone running?’
Sure enough, the footsteps were getting louder and louder and louder.
And the sound of footsteps was heading here, towards the great training ground.
When I took my hand off the doorknob in amazement, the door burst open and a confused butler jumped in.
“Du, Duke! We’re in trouble! You have to get out of here.”
I’ve never seen him so excited, always dealing with me with a calm face and voice.
Eugene, who was preparing for training, was surprised at his words and looked this way.
“What’s going on?”
“Yerine!”
When I fell sideways, I could see blood seeping into my clothes.
It was as if I had been rubbed against the magic spitting out by the monster.
The monster approached me with his arms outstretched, and I clenched my teeth and raised my left hand to trigger the flame magic again.
I was the master of this mansion.
I had to protect the people in this mansion.
I can’t collapse here.
“You can’t survive this time. You ugly plastic bags!”
That’s what I said, giving the maximum magic power.
Just then, the pain as a hot iron hit my left eye.
“Ugh!”
“Yerine!”
Erica came up and hugged me tightly.
Tears streamed from her eyes.
“Dead! Please die!”
Under the evil influence, she poured out the magic at the monster.
Listening to her voice, I closed my left eye.
The blood from the snow wetted my hand.
“Blothea, take care of Yerine!”
Cassius, whose whole body was in a mess, cried out, attacking the monster.
In the opposite direction of him, Eugene, who moved by teleport, was magicing together.
‘Me, too. Quickly.…!’
“No, Yerine!”
Erica stopped me but didn’t put her hand down.
I close the left eye and activate the flame magic.
But as soon as I was about to shoot the flame, the shape of the monster again became blurred.
Beyond that was Eugene.
It was clear that Eugene would be hurt if the flame was fired like this.
Eventually, I used my strength to teleport.
Moving over the monster’s head, I tried to put a spark in, but the struggling monster went straight past Cassius and Eugene at the left side of the front yard.
‘I have to catch it.….’
I was thinking so, but I couldn’t put my strength into it.
Just before falling to the ground, someone took my body.
When I opened my eyes that I had closed for a while, I was in Cassius’ arms.
“Yerine…”
He had a tearful look on his face.
Like when he was younger.
