Chapter 119 – Episode 118. Let’s Go Back, Dear. To Where You Should Be
Inside the Great Cavity on the first floor of the self-sustaining tower that Astrid had been struggling to break down.
Four of the patterns embodying the 12 signs of the zodiac were illuminated.
And the figure of a man looking into it with a hearty smile.
He couldn’t tell if his eyes were open or closed, but when he saw the smile on his lips, he was clearly smiling.
“Four… Four.”
There were a total of 12 things called the protection of the stars.
Divine power, dragon power like that of a giant.
God. The best body for learning martial arts.
Shinma. The same magical power as a drunken god.
Bridal room. A body hard enough to be invulnerable as if it were wearing rock armor.
Fast. His movements were so fast that it was hard to keep up with his eyes.
Shinwoon. Lucky enough to be seen as being loved by God.
Faith. Powerful divine power given to those who believe.
Shinji. A wide variety of knowledge that makes you wonder if you carry a huge library in your head.
New idea. A vision that allows you to see farther and more closely, to places that others cannot see.
Faith. An indomitable will that does not yield to any hardship.
New material. An innate charm that makes it easy to get close to anyone.
And, one last unknown.
Astrid had divine powers and divine affairs,
Shinan, Shinji, Shinui, and Shinwoon are here.
Some of them haven’t found a nest yet, so Astain confines them wandering around, and some have killed and taken away their holders.
It was because Astain’s powers hadn’t matured yet, and they were obtained with the help of Veracien along with magic tricks and tricks.
“Seven.”
The last one is nowhere known.
Astein didn’t know either.
No one knew about the twelfth divine protection, which had never appeared anywhere before.
As it has never appeared before, the ripple effect when it appears will be enormous.
It doesn’t matter if you want to find that one but can’t find it.
If you get the other eleven, that last one is as good as it gets, an unprecedentedly strong—
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a so-called god of this world.
And finally, to destroy the Eastern Mage Tower that excommunicated him, as well as the Einthofen Empire itself, to become an existence that puts the entire continent under its feet.
“I’ll be getting two more soon… “
Now that Berasian has gone to the Grand Duchess of Mitterien, she will be back soon.
I will bring Astrid von Mitterien here while barely breathing.
If so, she extracts her divine power and divine power that dwells within her, puts it into her body, and gains other blessings based on it.
“So, I will become the god of this world.”
“It’s crazy and it’s crazy. It’s the kind of imagination that an adolescent boy would have, that.”
Astein’s face hardened at the sudden voice.
Access to this self-sustaining tower is not for anyone.
It is basic that the owner has to allow entry, and it is only possible to enter through the breathing hole in the upper part of the tower, but there is a Paris guarded—
“Do you think about this?”
The green-haired elf laughed mischievously and tossed something he was carrying at Astain’s feet.
A succubus with its wings torn to pieces and an arrow stuck in the middle of its forehead must be a fly.
It was her look.
“… This is it, I couldn’t believe it when I heard your voice when we met here.”
“I pierced the mask for fear of bothering you. If I die here anyway, I will only return to my thought body, so what am I… Child, I don’t know.”
Eranya rubbed her ear with her pinky finger, saying that it was annoying.
It’s quite funny how her long protruding ears sway whenever her hands move, but Astain isn’t in the mood to laugh.
“Why are you here? Apparently, you don’t want to join my plan.”
While saying that, Astain touched the amulet in her pocket.
You need a chant to use magic, but you need an amulet instead of a chant to use magic.
A chant that screams loudly, and magic that scatters amulets and bears hand signs.
Both are said to be powerful, but the medium they use is also different.
It’s the same in terms of being annoying.
“Come on, let’s go there. It’s a talisman and a nabal, don’t touch it.”
An arrow flew and pierced Astain’s feet.
No matter how hard the arrows were driven into the ground, the arrow shaft trembled for a long time.
After looking down at her for a moment, Astain soon turned her gaze back to Erania.
“… He always looked like an idiot, so I wasn’t particularly wary, but an elf is an elf after all. How the hell did you get here?”
“There’s no way you don’t know that you openly show off that you’re in the dark. Akemilla, can you pretend you didn’t know that stupid thing giving out a carriage?”
“Is that so.”
I’ve been hiding my identity well.
I don’t know where she noticed it.
“How did you notice?”
“Well, isn’t that obvious?”
It was the first outdoor training that Eranya first thought of Astein as strange.
In other words, the very training that the large monster appeared.
The first time he had to deal with the goblins in that training, Astain had said that at the time.
I need a magic chant.
Even when casting magic missiles, you need a chant.
To be precise, Astrid said that, but Astain nodded her head without much objection.
“Does it make sense that a wizard of the size of this place can’t even cast magic missiles?”
“Her.”
It’s too small to be called careless.
Did Eranya think Astain was strange from then on because of that little thing?
“Is that the only reason you doubted me?”
“Okay. No matter how you look at it, it’s strange. Besides, didn’t you always skip practice even in magic class?”
Eranya opened her hand.
When she opened her clenched hand and then closed it again into a fist, an arrow appeared between them.
“Quietly release the guards. Gaho is one for each person. Exactly one soul. Asti is unique.”
“I can’t do that.”
“I knew you would answer that. Then… “
– Phishung!
With the sound of an arrow cutting through the wind, an amulet flew in front of Astain’s chest.
The arrow, which aimed precisely at Astain’s heart, pierced the amulet and stopped flying.
“Are you trying to do a skill event? You can’t even take cover here, and it must be difficult for elves to hide.”
Astein smiles leisurely, and Eranya doesn’t change his expression even when he sees him like that.
The confrontation between the two did not last long.
Arrows appeared between each of Eranya’s fingers as she opened and closed her hand again, and Eranya smiled as she pulled three arrows at the same time.
“I still look like an elf.”
“If not an elf, what is it?”
– Fish Wooung!
With the sound of an arrow cutting through the wind, Eranya kicked her into the ground.
“The World Tree is just a big tree.”
Astain pulled out a twig from the walleye tree and hit the flying arrow.
In the meantime, Eranya had already pounced on her, pulling her dagger from her waist.
“Could there be an elf in the world who swears an oath like this?”
*
The small one-room room was sweltering with heat.
The sun had already set long ago, and the windows of the semi-basement room were firmly closed, blocking the darkness outside.
Only orange streetlights light up the room softly, preventing total darkness from settling—
It was reflecting the figures of a man and a woman.
“… Asti. I think I have endured a lot.”
Astrid’s image was reflected in Leopold’s blue eyes.
Looking down from above, his eyes sparkled with an intense desire like never before, and while that gaze was unbearably burdensome, Astrid couldn’t avoid looking up at him.
Leopold’s eyes, Astrid reflected in them.
Her face seemed to be burning red and red before she knew it.
Her training top had already been taken off and was lying under the bed, revealing her white skin in only sportswear.
“A lot, a lot. I waited and waited and waited and waited.”
“I… Majesty.”
If Astrid put her mind to it, she could easily shake off Leopold holding her arm.
Somehow, because I have divine power, I can defeat Leopold as much as I want if I really put my mind to it.
But I couldn’t.
Astrid knew better than anyone what that intense desire reflected in his eyes was looking for.
So, I couldn’t bear to let him go.
He couldn’t push him away.
All you have to do is close your eyes.
Astrid looked at Leopold like that and eventually closed his eyes.
The tightly closed gray lips seemed to have made an unspoken resolution, and Leopold was constantly breathing heavily as he looked down at her white face.
Leopold took his hands off Astrid’s arms and took off her sweatshirt as if he were sitting on top of her.
Leopold doesn’t even know what a zipper is, so if you pull it up from the bottom and take off the blue sweatshirt, sportswear from the same brand as Astrid’s is revealed.
I waited long.
For the sake of Astrid, I endured it.
No more, I can’t stand it.
Can’t hold back
Driven by desire, Leopold placed his hand on Astrid’s breast.
And at that moment, feeling Astrid squirm loudly, Leopold smiled with satisfaction.
It was the first time in my life that a man’s hand touched my breast, and that I could feel that touch vividly and distinctly on the fat of my breasts.
While feeling burdened, thinking that it’s okay, yes, rather.
Now that I have realized once again that going back is meaningless.
Rather.
Okay.
Like a man
Decide like a man just once.
Boldly, courageously.
I like it so far
Wouldn’t it be a pity to keep rejecting, rejecting, and pushing away?
【… Please help me.】
【Me… Help me… 】
【It’s just because I’m sad. My ability, I’ve never felt like I lacked my ability in my life. I can feel it today. Is it because I became emotional?]
“… Oh, no. No.”
Roughly pushing away Leopold’s hand that was resting on her breast, Astrid stood up.
Leopold, who was forced to sit back due to that wind, looked up at Astrid with a mixture of bewilderment, absurdity, anger and annoyance.
“No, no. It can’t be like this.”
“… Tell me why I can understand it, Asti.”
Understandable reason.
If Leopold cannot be convinced, why must he be persuaded somehow.
There is a woman who has lived her entire life looking only at Leopold.
She just couldn’t get it right, but she’s got a woman who’s as real as her heart.
“… First, please do it with the real Astrid.”
She was silent for a while.
Leopold seemed to be lost in thought.
And then… Finally, Leopold got under the bed and picked up the clothes he had thrown around.
“… I’ll take it as saying you’re next, Astrid.”
He gave no answer.
