CH 397

Kalin looks this way the moment she is blown away, and just barely lets some words out.

I can’t hear the sound itself, but as Kalin leaves, I can somewhat understand by the movements of her mouth.

“Do… It…”

She said.

Sorry Kalin. But thanks to the time she bought for me, everything is ready.

I thank Kalin for acting like a good boss, and figuratively bow to her in my mind.

We didn’t talk about this beforehand, but she figured out what I needed and took initiative to give it to me at the risk of her safety.

And she acted like she was just purely enjoying the fight, so as not to let Zwei catch on to the fact that she was buying time.

Well, that last part was half acting and half just her actually enjoying the fight.

“Finally, Struna Hartnicks. I will be taking all the points from you and that hero prospect.”

Zwei threatens me while turning my way with the halberd in hand.”

No, Rust… Leave me and….”

Taula struggles to say, while still stuck to the floor.

“Just hang on a little longer and I’ll help you, Taula!”

“Help, you say? Interesting, Struna Hartnicks. I don’t think that will be possible. Oh, are you ready to give me the points? Then place your hand there, and it will all be resolved peacefully.”

Zwei swings the arm that’s not holding the halberd, and a plate of purifying light appears in front of me.

It’s very similar to the normal half-transparent plate.

I look down, and intentionally make it look like I’m indecisive, but then walk on the floor made of Eve’s bamboo and approach the plate.

I have to go around a few craters on the way.

Getting closer won’t be a problem. I just have to make some minor adjustments based on my position…

I finally reach the purifying light plate. I raise my hand, not towards the plate, but towards Zwei.

“《Restrain》”

A jet black curtain opens.
