103 The march of fools.

The next day, we marched to the northeast, along with Rendall's forces, where Knight Tis commanded a mysterious presence. It wasn't to start hunting right away, it was to explore. First we need to make sure he's Sky Despair.

As I was snooping around, I asked Armida with a gentle tone.

“By the way, sis. Why the hell aren't those humans going? If you were that humiliated yesterday, of course we should go. I'd be embarrassed if I were you. ”

Armida raises the tail of one mouth.

“It's simple. We're embarrassed. We can't go. ”

“Huh?"

“If you leave like this, you'll lose to me. Katrina would be boiling inside by now, even if she didn't tell me. Hohoho.”

“You don't want to get rid of the magic before we do, do you? ”

“It's possible. So I'm saying, should we just arrest him now? ”

I waved my hand.

“Not if he's Sky Despair. ”

“Don't worry, I'll get him. ”

“He can't catch her easily either. ”

“But what if Katrina catches him first? ”

“Well, that's great. ”

Armida's sister struggled.

“Absolutely not. How am I supposed to look at her being such a snob? ”

I looked at Armida with narrow eyes.

“Do you really hate that redheaded woman? ”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“You two are the Creators. Lumenos, Materia. I dig Mr. Lumenox, he digs Mr.Metheria. ”

I immediately understood and smiled at an example that was easy to understand. After all, it's a faction fight. But there was something strange about it. My sister is close to Euroa, the Valkyrie of Water, and the Valkyrie of Water is towards Metheria.

“But you're close with Euroa, right? ”

“That's why I hate The Catherine. ”

“Why?”

“Just as the attributes of water are intimate with the attributes of darkness, so are the attributes of fire. ”

In other words, they were divided into other factions, hating and jealous of each other, which meant that both of them were polar relationships. The attribute of darkness conflicts with the attribute of light, since the attribute of fire is closer to the attribute of light.

“Oh, I see. I don't think we have a good relationship. ”

My sister looked at me.

“But it's me, but why does he growl all the time just to see you? ”

I answered right away.

“I don't like good kids. ”

“Really?"

“Yes. The ones I hate the most are the ones who do good things and cause trouble in the world. Honestly, don't you think you should think about doing something nice? I hate it when you pretend to be righteous, pretending you've made a sacred sacrifice for the world. ”

Armida's sister confronted him immediately.

“That's right. All the acolytes of light are. ”

“But they're too much. I hurt myself and hurt others, but I get annoyed every time I see him. I have to curse, and if I curse, what can I do? If I do, I'm the bad guy. ”

“Well, Katrina's a lot like that. Every time I see him, he dies. ”

Dorado arrives close to her destination in her gown while having a conversation. I see a village far away, but it's empty. They all left because they were afraid.

I and the group continue into his realm.

‘That village was defeated. ’

I stopped moving in front of a village. The town's entrance and surrounding meadow show that the corpses are scattered. I thought something might come out of that town.

I quickly approached and examined the body.

“The left side of his chest is completely blown off. ”

The victim is stranded in a long bloodstream that seems to have survived for a while. I examined the site for the first time, following the bloodstains on the ground.

The blood has spread quite far. However, the angle in which the blood spread was much narrower and in a straight line than the normal angle. Something swift must have struck.

Armida came at me with a serious look on her face.

“What do you think? Is Sky Despair right? ”

“I need to see more. ”

I approached the shredded corpse at the entrance. You look like you've cut yourself on something sharp, but the flesh on your wounds burns together.

“Aura claw marks. ”

Armida's sister opened her eyes to the words I spilled.

Orrah Klow was an intangible Aura claw that was used by the highest level of magic. Like Aura Blade, iron was very dangerous to cut in a heartbeat.

“Really?"

“Yes, take a look. It's the same as Aura Blade. ”

As soon as I saw the scar, Armida's sister calmly nodded her head.

“That's right.”

I got up from my seat and called Sir Tease.

“Tis, come here. ”

“Yes.”

Tease rushes in. I pointed to the corpse.

“Look at the scars on the corpse. ”

Tease opens his eyes wide and trembles.

“Isn't this a wound from Aura Blade? You're saying he's the Master Prosecutor? ”

“A Master Swordsman would be better. They're slow walking. ”

“So? What do we do? ”

“If we go in like this, we're going to get beaten up big. Evacuate immediately. Order everyone to evacuate. ”

“Yes!”

Tis immediately ran to the soldiers and began to withdraw.

I stood up and looked at Armida.

“That's him. Almost 100%. Not unlikely, of course, but the risk is the same. You need to stay sharp. ”

“You too, brother. Don't worry, you don't know who she is? ”

“Don't get cocky. He's not kidding. I almost came back to life. ”

The reason I survived Sky Despair at the time was neither fast nor a master of running away. I was just lucky.

A river flows beneath the cliff just in time, and there is an underwater cave with air beneath the surface, where you can hide for days and barely escape his prey.

“But you can catch it if you fly a skyweight sword. ”

The Sky Black was the only Mind Master that could wield a sword with his mind. I waved my hand.

“Hard. Much faster than the Sky Sword. ”

“Then why don't you stop with your mind? ”

“Of course, we can slow down a little bit. Just a little bit. ”

“Really? Why don't you use lock-on magic and electroshock magic? ”

“No. Magic resistance is almost fraudulent. ”

“Then what are you holding? ”

“I don't know. Let's just retreat. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I turned right around.

“Let's go. I've confirmed it. We should get back before he does." ”

“Yes."

Armida's sister retreated behind me without a word. No matter what I say, there is no effective means of catching him, no matter how Valkyrie.

‘By the way, history seems to be twisting in some weird way. ’

I stared at the distant sky with complex eyes.

In fact, Skye Despair should not have shown up now. This is the first magic in the world since the age of destruction.

Of course, the Valkyries may have snuck in here and captured it, but it's very unlikely. Previously, Katrina revealed to humanity all the magic information she knew about the heavenly city of Kronos, but there was no Sky Despair in it. That means the Valkyries have never caught this guy before.

And then it appeared.

If human behavior or behavior had changed, it might have happened because of me. It doesn't have to be weird, but the appearance of magic is caused by a rift between the world of emptiness and the real world here that I cannot be involved in. It's very difficult for me to be involved.

It still appears to have something to do with me, but I don't understand it now.

* * *

As we enter Castle Rendal, we can see a group of people rushing to prepare for their journey. In addition to Katrina, Princess Sierra and Princess Ignes, they were the children of the newborn aristocrats on the road to persecution.

I passed by Princess Sierra and threw a word.

“Huh. Gear wants to go after him? What am I supposed to do with these assholes? ”

Princess Sierra responded to my speech.

“What do you mean? ”

“Don't make silverware. You can't catch him. ”

“If we catch them, they'll be a nuisance to your income, and you're not trying to scare them away? ”

“Phew. What's wrong with earning money? If you work hard, you'll get what you deserve. ”

“It's only a matter of gold leafs for a price. Do you think Mr. White is capable of paying such a large sum in this countryside? ”

“Yes. I'll make sure I pay. ”

Princess Sierra shudders. It was like he was treating me like a robber.

“Mr. White, we are chosen by God. Our good deeds become the blessing of God, and our evil deeds become the curse of God. Go ahead and act. ”

“I'm sorry, I've never been chosen. I'm not a priest or a Guardian. Don't put me in a weird class for no reason. And I think you guys are the ones who are doing bad things to me. I can't wait for the things that insist so much on working for the world to stop me from doing my job. Huh?”

“Is exploiting this poor land for the world? ”

I hold my head back.

“Yes, as a result. ”

“What? God never exploits the weak for the world. You're just being fair and loving everyone. ”

I sighed deeply. I don't know what kind of god this woman is talking about. Honestly, there are so many Gods that I know of, I couldn't find the one she just mentioned anywhere in my memory.

I don't know what to say, but I'll put up with it now, and in seven years' time, if you do this crazy shit, I'll shove my ass in front of everyone's eyes and shut you up.

“Then all the prophecies at the end of the world must be false. I'm sorry. I never thought I'd see a lie in the Codex of Creation. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Princess Sierra was speechless. In the prophecy at the end of the age, it is clearly written that we must open the cracks and sacrifice some of them to prevent the collapse of the universe.

“So don't be ridiculous. Just sleep at home. That's the only thing you can do for humanity. Why the hell would he want to get himself killed? If you go there, you're all dead. No. If I'm good, I'll buy one. ”

Katrina stares at me as I look away. She seemed to know that the only survivor I mentioned was her.

“Hey, kid? ”

“Why?”

“You know who I am. ”

“Yes, but I also know who Armida's sister is. And now you're just searching, and you're just coming. Why would you do that? If you go to him like this, we're all gonna die. I won't stop you from going anyway, but just remember one thing. You're the one who killed all these kids. ”

“What?"

Katrina glances at you with a lively eye, and I shrug.

“You've always been a problem. A righteous sheep ran into the right sheep and destroyed himself and everyone around him. ”

Katrina blinks.

“You, you? ”

Princess Ignes is in a hurry to intercept between me and Katrina.

“Mr. White, stop it. ”

“I didn't really want to do it, but Princess Sierra over there told me to try for the world. That's why it's so old. I tried. ”

Princess Ignes narrows her eyes.

“Do you know what's going to happen? ”

“I know. You're all going to die. Flax. He'll be the first to die. ”

I pointed to a young female Guardian. I was holding a cane, but Manat's energy in my body was the weakest.

In fact, Skye Despair has a habit of killing the weakest first. And this was one of the reasons I survived him. I was stronger than anyone around me at the time because I just became a master.

“How do you know? ”

“I've been in fights. No, I've been on the run from his one-way massacre. So I know how he kills people. He's very strong. Kill him very cleverly. ”

“Is it that powerful? ”

“Yes. If you go and die, you'll see. Then I'll see you in the next life, and then I'll see you there. Bye-bye. Oh, and we'll clean up your bodies later, so close your eyes and die. And don't be a vengeful ghost when you die. You're on your own. ”

I passed Princess Ignes with a bloody smile and stood in front of Milton. He bows and salutes as he looks me in the eye.

“Mr. White, how are you? ”

“Yes, but are you going? ”

“Yes.”

“Forget it, get out. ”

“Yes?”

“As much as I've made you a Guardian, I'll be pissed off if I get killed here. Get out of here.”

Milton's eyes flutter. When Milton was disappointed in the Sacred Hall and left Silver Seal, I was the only one who handed him the 'Frozen Blood Sword Adaro’.

Moreover, the Friedmans belonging to Milton belong to the bone marrow repair clan. It was difficult to dare disobey Shura's lover.

“I understand.”

Milton immediately dropped out of the group.

He was the one representing the male Guardians, so there was a tremendous fluctuation of others. Several of Milton's friendly guardians follow him out of the pack.

Princess Ignes approaches Katrina and advises her.

“Catherine, I don't think we should go this time. ”

“Are you listening to her? You must be lying. ”

“You know I'm not, right? ”

Katrina looks at Princess Ignes, who is frozen.

“What are you talking about? ”

“Armida just went on a quest and just came back. Is he the one who's taking his time in dealing with Catherine? ”

Katrina sighs deeply and barely answers.

“No.”

“So you're saying you might be right. ”

“Probably. ”

“So we have to stop here. Kids who are struggling just got out of the world. As you say, everyone dies. And that's entirely on us. ”

Katrina closes her eyes.

Princess Ignes was right. The children you have with you are like a flock of sheep you don't even know. If the magic appearing in this territory is strong enough to watch out for the Valkyrie, it's best to stop here.

“Phew! Okay. Let's disband them and keep an eye on things for now. ”

“Yes.”

Immediately Princess Ignes disbanded everyone. Then I looked at Princess Ignese. But I was lucky to have a rational child.
