Chapter 239

Bellbroke Subjugation Battle (7)

A majestic carriage symbolizing the majesty of the imperial family was lying on the side of the road.

The brilliant decorations were already covered in grime and stained with blood. The wheels had come off and were rolling in the surrounding grass and the door was shaking so it looked like it could no longer function as a carriage.

Next to him Selaha Einir Cloel dragging the hem of her dress hid behind the fallen remains of the carriage.

Two of the five knights who were protecting Princess Selaha died and the driver died miserably after being attacked by the monsters.

Princess Selaha frowned glanced at the idling wheels of the carriage and asked the surviving knights of the guard.

“The royal family’s quarters were attacked? “Abama’s safety is at risk.”

yes. That’s right. On our side we were able to survive because there were almost no monsters but I heard that several high-ranking monsters raided the royal residence... ”

Princess Selaha gently closed her eyes opened them and summarized the situation again.

If you look around the corpses of all kinds of monsters are full. Although it was a relatively weak force it was difficult to handle with just four guards.

I somehow managed to maintain my lifeline but the news that the royal family’s quarters had been breached kept getting trampled on my heart.

Eventually Butler Dest who had gathered up the blood-stained rapier and put it away bowed his head politely.

“Looking at Jeon Seo-gu’s arrival it appears that they are somehow maintaining their defense line. but... There was news that Princess Fenia’s guard Claire had died.”

Right... Fenia has lost a powerful ally. The article was always on Fenia’s side... It will have a big impact on the formation of the imperial power... ”

After saying that Selaha looked up at the sky that seemed to embody hell.

“In a situation like this... “I wonder if competition for imperial power is important.”

“What are you going to do? Princess Selaha. Currently there is news that several military bases have been formed near the student plaza and the residential building. “If you join us there you will be safer.”

“You’re talking nonsense Dest. “Abamama’s safety is not guaranteed so are you telling me to run to a safe place first?”

Selaha shook off his collar once and reprimanded Dest.

“You idiot.”

sorry.

“I am a member of the royal family. Even if I have to bleed and die I have to head to the royal residence. “I have to make sure Abama is safe.”

Although we traveled quite a distance by carriage it was not so far that we could not return on foot.

The problem is whether you can overcome the numerous monsters you will encounter along the way.

All of the surviving guards are exhausted and Butler Dest is relatively healthy but there is no way he can deal with so many monsters.

“We’ll have to find some way... ”

It was a moment when Selaha rested her chin and was about to lose herself in thought.

– Bang! Quagagagagagagagag!

– Whaaaaaaaa!

At that moment a loud noise of something falling was heard.

It sounded like something crashing into the grass on a remote road heading toward Gyo-dong. It was directly visible from where Princess Selaha and her party were and there was a spirit in the shape of a large Archaeopteryx rolling on the floor completely devastated.

“Kuhuhuh!”

From there Yenica Palover hugging Ed Rosstaylor tightly rolls down.

Yenika is coughing covered in scratches while holding the head of Ed who has lost consciousness. Although she already looked very exhausted she was still gathering new magical power.

Only then did Princess Selaha look up into the sky again. A huge number of flying monsters chasing Yenika caught her eye.

The sky above Aken Island is now almost like hell. There are hundreds or even thousands of monsters floating in the sky attacking people at random.

Yenica Palover broke through it on her own. Even for a spiritist who wields hundreds of spirits it was an extremely reckless act.

The wind spirit that fell to the ground was covered in wounds and was barely breathing.

In the meantime it tried to protect Yenika by raising its wings with difficulty.

“Princess Selaha! Additionally monsters attack! “You need to hide in the carriage right now!”

“I will break the glass! “Stay inside the overturned carriage!”

The soldier urgently raised his voice. Certainly the number of flying monsters chasing Yenika was unusual.

From the giant bat gremlin chimera to the monster... Each one takes on a bizarrely twisted shape. Just looking at her scared her but Jenica held her head high regardless.

Holding Ed tightly with one hand he extends the other hand into the air.

A spirit in the form of a turtle with a huge shell rises up. When I looked at the sky and unleashed my magical energy the monsters were swept away by the huge wave of light that spread out.

Yenika who had wiped out dozens of monsters at once lowered her head while taking a deep breath.

There was no chase after that perhaps because we entered the path filled with trees.

As the spirits disappeared one by one there was only a girl with her head down hugging the unconscious boy.

I... case... ”

The soldiers who were watching the scene looked dumbfounded. Looking at the fact that she was wearing a school uniform under her shawl even though she was still a student her strength was unbelievable.

But Yenika who was out of breath perhaps from exhaustion... Even her own body was having a hard time controlling itself. She was half cradling Ed’s head with her weary eyes wary of her surroundings like a cornered beast.

It was at that point that my eyes met with Princess Selaha.

Princess Selaha gently raised her arm to dismiss the soldiers and then slowly moved towards Yenika.

Yenika hugged Ed tightly like a hedgehog full of thorns and looked at Selaha with aggressive eyes.

In the current situation where all order has collapsed we cannot trust anyone carelessly.

In particular Princess Selaha is someone who has been hostile to Ed for a long time. Yenica does not easily harbor malice toward others but in a situation where she has to protect Ed who has become a complete wreck even the slightest threat cannot be taken lightly by her.

“The man in your arms... Is it Ed Rosstaylor? ”

Princess Selaha is also not in a normal state.

He is a person who would be frowned upon by even a speck of dirt on his collar but now he is covered in dust trying to survive on that limb.

Nevertheless Princess Selaha spoke arrogantly as if she had no intention of bending her noble appearance.

“I don’t know what happened but you look like you were seriously injured.”

closely... “Please don’t come.”

“Don’t come any closer...” ? haha... Now that the situation is like this things like you are giving me orders. Well order has collapsed like this... “It would be a chance for a genius to rival me.”

Princess Selaha laughed as if she was helpless but Yenika did not let down her guard.

“As expected you were the plaything I saw at Ross Taylor’s mansion back then. Are you still harboring a pitiful fleeting love affair? Indeed his skills seem to be great but... “You should have chosen a man who fits the theme.”

“... ”

“It wouldn’t be wise to be hostile towards me... “Does the situation get better by glaring at me like that?”

Princess Selaha’s arrogance remains even in a situation where the world is collapsing.

Strongly maintained self-esteem will never be destroyed.

“Yes if I put my mind to it it wouldn’t be a problem to try something on my own. Now the order on Aken Island has collapsed and I no longer have as much power as you. So are you going to murder me now? Are you thinking of giving it a try?”

To be honest... “I think it’s good.”

From the beginning Yenika didn’t care what happened to Princess Selaha.

Eventually Yenica closed her eyes once lowered her head and spoke.

The thought that I would never be able to open my eyes again was dominating my mind as soon as I surrendered myself to my blurred consciousness even for a moment.

So I think. I think and think again.

How did Sylvania Robester a character from long ago appear in this bachelorette now?

The first possibility that comes to mind is aspect magic.

Aspect magic at its peak gives you the power to manipulate even time and space as your own.

However I have never heard of a rumor that there is such a thing as magic that allows you to skip time and go to the future.

This applies not only to my game knowledge but also to the magic knowledge I learned after coming to this world.

However it would not be surprising if Sylvania Robester the pioneer of aspect magic discovered magic that transcends time.

It’s a magic that doesn’t end with simply observing the future but jumps into the future.

If such a thing were theoretically possible... So why did Sylvania become afraid of the future itself? If you’re afraid of the future shouldn’t you even skip that future?

After my thoughts reached that point I was able to picture the future as seen by Sylvania to some extent.

... It is said that Sylvania became a madman because she was afraid of the dark future that would one day come.

Perhaps the future observed by Sylvania was a distant darkness with no end in sight...

But the fear of the dark... It must have been the same way back in the old days.

The fear of the immense darkness must have weighed down Sylvania the day she first observed the future using aspect magic.

However Sylvania at that time was not engulfed by the fear of darkness.

Rather the period of struggle to escape the promised end was longer.

If so there is no explanation for Sylvania’s now completely crazy appearance. If the Sylvania of that time has jumped back in time to the present shouldn’t she still be the same as she was in the past when she tried to fight against the darkness without giving in?

However Sylvania who now occupied the Trix building was completely consumed by the fear of darkness and went crazy.

They were shouting that they should all be killed by Belbroke right here and now as they would face death by writhing in fear forever.

I feel like the middle process has been lost.

Why did Sylvania go crazy?

Simply swept up in the unknown madness of Aspect magic?

Even when she had a deeper understanding of aspect magic than anyone else in the world wasn’t she struggling to escape from a future of endless darkness? Does it really make sense for her to become a madman so easily?

And what is her ultimate goal after going crazy?

If the goal is really to release Bellbroke and let everyone die together...

then... What is the identity of the chain that is currently wrapped around that bellbroke?

There are so many questions that remain. The truth is that things that need to be resolved are not yet visible... It clearly remains.

It tells us that a solution can be found.

There is something left that is not fully known... This suggests that there may still be a solution that is not yet visible.

So never give up on surviving. Even if intense pain surges through my entire body as if it were burning I will never accept death.

It is the final ordeal of a long long journey. There are only two victory conditions left.

Grabbing the bellbroke.

Capturing Great Sage Sylvania.

Even if we leave the former to Taily... The latter must be resolved entirely on my own.

Although there were many changes Tailley had the minimum strength to cut out Velbroke’s heart.

A member who defeated Belbroke together in the government. Ayla Zix Clevious Elvira Lortel Fenia.

These six members were the ones who took on their respective roles and completely defeated Bellbroke. If at least these six people meet the minimum conditions theoretically we could somehow solve the problem.

I would like to securely add a few more people but the situation is like this so just meeting the minimum conditions is too tight. I have no choice but to trust Tailley.

Even if we leave it at that we still have to think about the last member who will capture Sylvania.

Trying to conduct a one-on-one subjugation war is reckless.

〈Sylvania’s Failed Sword Saint〉 They are extras who failed to stand on the stage of the final subjugation in the affair... Nevertheless those who have their own armed forces must be united.

There is a difficult condition in which Taily must gather all the maximum power possible without affecting as much as possible in subduing Velbroke.

It has nothing to do with the main story of ‘Sylvania’s Failed Sword Saint’.

It has to be people who originate from my story that I was able to create while living as Ed Rothtaylor.

Maybe what I lived through while struggling was... . Was it for right now?

In such an exquisite situation even in the midst of intense pain a ray of laughter blooms.

Let’s give it a try. Damn this world.

As I clenched my teeth and held on to my senses my consciousness began to return little by little.

that... De’s departure... . but... Living building... !”

Yenica’s vaguely familiar voice is heard. As she slowly lifts her heavy eyelids her bangs soaked in black and red blood obscure her vision.

My hearing slowly returned and this time I could fully hear Princess Selaha’s voice.

“It may be difficult to move to the living area. In the first place this body had to go to the royal quarters! “With the royal family’s quarters completely breached and we don’t even know what happened to Abama and Fenia’s lives it’s unreasonable to ask them to go somewhere else!”

“Then...” “Is there a minimum number of medical personnel in the royal residence?”

“If you survive... There must be... That is if you survive. In the first place there is nothing that can be completely guaranteed in a situation like this! If you want my cooperation you too should head to the royal residence! If there are any medical personnel alive take responsibility and let this man live! “I can promise you that!”

Yenika was listening to Princess Selaha while holding her breath.

At that moment I sneezed and forced a sound.

“Eh ed... ! Ed!”

Yenika looked startled and lowered her head towards me to check my condition.

I took a deep breath and struggled to speak.

“Royal family...accommodation... To the royal family’s lodgings... go..

This was my decision.

At those words Princess Selaha blushed and looked down at me.

“It is indeed a wise decision even in a half-asleep state! Did you hear? Didn’t this man himself say this to you? It is right to do what I think! “There is nothing to worry about!”

Although I was in a dazed state I heard clearly.

now... If what Princess Selaha said is true... She had to act according to her opinion.

“Ed Rosstaylor! After all no matter what you admit that what I say is right! Yes that’s right! Now look carefully and remember... I will be the savior of your life. “I owe you my life so I must remember it!”

painting... Nia... ”

“... what?

Fenia Elias Cloel was the minimum member required to be included in Tailley’s Belbroke subjugation party.

“Princess Fenia... I have to survive... !”

also... ! It’s Fenia... !!!!! I really... !! “I can’t survive!!!”

While clutching my wound tightly Princess Selaha screamed as if she was truly fed up.

My head throbbed and rang from the sudden high-pitched sound.
