(EP-256.1) Like the Wind #1

256 – Like The Fleeting Wind #1

Everything about the fairy swordsman Opal Von Bellhawk was charred and scattered to ashes.

Like the fleeting wind. He vanished without a trace.

“......”

As the acrid smell wafted on the breeze, a heavy silence settled in.

Everyone was speechless, overwhelmed by the will shown by the elf just before his death. My own heart began to pound belatedly.

I survived...

The joy of survival and the delayed tension shook my heart and made my vision blur. Soon, Calm Thinking calmed my inner excitement.

“We barely made it.”

I was lucky my magic hit its mark. If it weren’t for the cooperation of Elga, Stella, and Narmi, the spell would never have succeeded.

If Opal had been at full strength, he would never have been hit by such a slow-moving spell.

“Hu.”

Plop-.

I sank to the ground with a deep sigh. Then, it was as if the world that had stopped was now moving again, people began taking deep breaths one after another.

━Is it over?

━I don’t know.

But it was still too early to relax.

“Elga-nim, there are still people inside the mansion. Lady Narmi is in there too!”

“Really? Those Draco twins, both the young and old always give me trouble.”

Elga quickly instructed the soldiers to enter the chaotic Bellhawk mansion. At the same time, she didn’t forget to arrange for the injured and the casualties to be moved.

“I am Elliot, a priest healer of Lioness. Do you have any injuries?”

There were charred and burned remains of Bellhawk’s mansion. The next day, as I was patrolling and monitoring the progress, someone called out to me. I turned my head to see what it was.

The first thing I saw was a puff of blue cotton candy.

━Kyuiing.

What is this?

“Lady Narmi, what is that?”

“It’s called a Cloudling! It’s incredibly rare. I found it in the Bellhawk lab!”

The creature perched on Narmi’s head looked fluffy like a ball of fluff. In a way, it was like cotton candy.

“When I gave it water, it calmed down. It must have been thirsty.”

“I see.”

━Ingingyaing.

What a strange creature.

“This guy, can I keep it? After all the hard work, I deserve a little trophy, don’t I?”

Narmi seemed quite taken with the mysterious creature.

Confused in many ways, I simply responded, “It could be used as evidence to prove the Bellhawk family’s crimes, so you might need to turn it in later if necessary.”

“Inginga, you’re living with me now!”

━Kyuiing.

What a mess.

Even putting aside this Cloudling or whatever it was, strange experimental subjects and their traces could be easily found all over the mansion.

━Damn, that crazy nymph. We lost her!

━The lion spiders escaped too. Don’t forget to send warnings to the nearby houses.

It seemed some of them used the chaos to slip away. Monarch City was going to get chaotic, for sure. Should we deploy more troops?
