Chapter 394

Episode 394

“Kuhuk...”

Lightly tightening the wizard’s robe, he looked around the campsite that had become a sea of corpses.

Catherine is definitely a high-ranking warrior among the warriors.

Its power was strong enough to be compared to Reina, a swordsman, and in fact, she had a record of fighting without a hitch against Frost Worm, a medium-sized flying Bone Dragon.

Then she used an attack that she couldn’t even react to.

Something similar to magic but not magic.

It was similar to the condensed aura used by the knights, but essentially something different.

Catherine, who had fallen in the campground that had become a field of corpses, slowly got up from her seat when she saw Aeria, who had instinctively protected her, trembling with her eyes wide open.

Quickly...

Catherine clenched her fists so hard that she could hear her bones twisting, and without even thinking about wiping the blood from her face, she glared at the only woman standing.

Just looking at the vertically slit pupils was enough to make the liver go cold.

“Uh-huh.”

With a light smile on her face, she gently sucked the red whip from her fingertips and turned her head.

“I was trying to send it off as painlessly as possible.”

“Reveal your identity. Are you the assassin who came to assassinate the princess!?”

To touch the princess escorted by the Archduke, who is said to be the armed force of the Lindis Empire, and no one else, was an assassin who poured as much as he could for an assassin.

No, it was also said that she was a monster with confidence in her power because she had massacred the whole area before she could react.

Where the hell did that monster come from?

Hiding the trembling Elia behind her back, Catherine stood up and quickly looked around.

Most of the fairly competent imperial knights died without knowing how they died.

and.

The excellent and benevolent sword master, Sir Velos, was still alive, but it would not be strange if he died immediately from a fatal wound.

Slowly... Slowly...

Like that or not.

The black-haired woman stretched out her hand, which did not wield the red whip, and sucked in what looked like whitish smoke.

“Haa...”

Then he said with a short sigh.

“sorry. I have to eat your souls.”

A thick whip began to shoot out from the index and middle fingers of her left hand.

“So close your eyes. I’ll make sure you never get sick.”

A flash of red flashed once more.

I reflexively blocked the attack.

Catherine could see that her arms, tightly wrapped in mana, had gone numb.

And

“Ah...”

“You poor princess!!!!!”

Seeing that her plain pink dress was covered in bright red blood, she let out a scream.

The girl with blue-green hair, who had been staring at her stomach while standing blankly, collapsed.

Unable to even scream, she collapsed. At first glance, it was a fatal wound that was too great for Aria to withstand.

She, too, was not a powerless figure.

By nature, he had good affinity with spirits, so he could command low-level to intermediate spirits to some extent, but there was no time to summon spirits against overwhelmingly strong enemies.

“You fucking bitch!!”

what kind of situation is this?

It became clear that the opponent was not just an assassin who had come to assassinate Aria.

Should I just say there was no luck?

There are people like her on the continent.

Unless you saw a boy standing behind her.

Knock!!

“What?”

Unexpectedly, she flinched and stopped the arm she was about to throw down.

A small but firm hand gripped her arm, and blood splattered into her red eyes, shining in the darkened forest.

Chew!!!

And at the same time that eyes glowed coldly to the point of being terrifying, the woman’s arm was cut off.

The red trail was a very neat and smooth sword.

In the midst of the silence, along with the eerie destructive sound, the woman’s model bounced off for an instant, and in an instant, distanced itself from the red-eyed owner.

At the same time, there was a dullness in her eyes that seemed to have lost interest.

“Ah... that’s not fun...”

With a calm murmur, she looked at her severed arm.

After that, a red-eyed boy slowly walked out of the darkness.

“I have no patience whatsoever. I have no luck.”

The boy, who spoke calmly, slowly approached the fallen Catherine.

Then, when he picked up the arm that had been cut off, he brought it to her severed part and raised his divine power.

“Why did you come here?”

Catherine said nothing to the complex question. I didn’t have a chance to do it.

A faint light spread out and gradually restored her body, but in a very brief fight, she was seriously injured.

The miserable appearance did not easily improve even with recovery magic.

“It’s five minutes before the damn thing.”

The boy, who spoke calmly, slowly got up from his seat and looked around.

Then, as if he had discovered something, he opened his eyes wide and strode off.

The place where the boy’s footsteps stopped was where Eria lay helplessly.

“...”

The silent Elia was already dead. My body wouldn’t get cold right away, but my heart had already stopped working.

Please save the poor princess. I desperately want to shout Even a saint knows that it is impossible to revive someone who has already died, but Catherine just wanted to save Aeria.

Of course, the miracle itself did not happen.

The boy’s eyes wavered as he brushed Aeria’s cheek with a trembling hand.

and.

A red whip wrapped around the boy’s neck in silence.

“Oh, Davey Olaun? Rumors have been circulating, so I thought I’d check it out. You were the gatekeeper of this land.”

adversary.

The existence of adversaries that block threats on all continents.

Catherine did not understand the woman’s meaning.

“But strangely, the chief gatekeeper wasn’t originally a one-person role.”

On this continent, the demon lord is on the opposite side of the adversary.

“The devil king and the chief gatekeeper (adversary)... You are really unique. I think I know why it was difficult to use my hands on this continent.”

She said calmly and tightened the whip as if she would slowly cut her throat.

A simple swing would sever its soft neck.

However, the boy remained silent and did not take his hand off Aria’s cheek.

The boy, who was slowly wiping his bloody face, immediately closed his eyes and muttered something.

“Choose...Choose.”

It was a brief agony.

and.

“It is far better to lose money now than to regret it later.”

The boy immediately thrust his hand into the subspace and took out a scarlet ore without hesitation.

The inside of the ore contained a bright ember, as if someone’s soul was on fire.
