Chapter 301 – The Cold Blooded King.
“Old man! We must run away quickly!”
Isgar shouted at the old man. Originally, she should have been working as usual to sell food, but she couldn’t. This morning, I thought the ground was shaking suddenly, and a bell I had never heard before was ringing. She didn’t know how this was the first time, she was confused, but she soon found out.
-Notify the citizens. Evacuate immediately.
Soon, golems that were hard to see normally appeared outside and were shouting with voices that did not feel a single emotion. At first, I wondered if the Pavilion Sector controlling them was playing a deliberate prank on them.
– I inform you once again. Evacuate immediately.
The ground shook even louder as the golems spoke, and I could see several other houses collapsing violently.
“Wait a minute! Where the hell are you running?! Where are we going to run to?”
Isgar grabbed one of those golems and asked. That’s because this place was everything to her. And it wasn’t just her, it was the others too.
– Evacuate.
“So, where the hell…?!”
However, it was a moment of frustration at the sight of the golem repeating the same words.
“We must run upwards.”
Turning around at the voice of a girl right next to her, she found a girl with a somewhat familiar appearance.
“You came with Yakaf…? No, that’s not him.”
For a moment she thought of one of her children that an old friend of hers had brought with her, but she realized it wasn’t right away. She certainly resembled her, but there were subtle differences between a woman and a man, as well as different clothes and moods.
“You are the child of the Pavilion Sector? Do you know what happened?”
“This place will collapse soon. It’s best to get out of there quickly before that.”
“Stomach…”
She remembered Krikaliev in her girlish words. She was a friend who came after a long time, but in the end, as if it was decided, she was a geek who went up again. Also, even the words of the guy who said how long this place will stay.
“After all, he was right.”
Isgar couldn’t help but let out a sigh. It was true that she couldn’t believe it, but she had no choice but to believe it because it was unprecedented for so many golems to appear and even for the residents of the Pavilion Sector to step forward and order an evacuation like this.
“Wait a minute.”
She went straight into her house and took her little papers. That load was enough.
“So what are you going to do?”
“I decided to stay here.”
“What?!”
She was shocked to see the girl talking calmly as if it was nothing.
“Are you insane?”
“I am the administrator of this place. As long as this place is being destroyed, my duty is over.”
Isuga looked at the girl who answered calmly and asked.
“You guys, are you going to die here?”
“Yes.”
How should she accept the image of a girl who calmly accepts death? Isgar was unable to continue her words due to her frustration.
“They say you have to go up. Is that true?”
“Yes.”
Seeing her nod once again, she eventually turned around. She did this because she knew it wasn’t time to linger. She said Ysuga still had people to take care of. It was when the girl was just watching her go away.
“Oh really!”
Isgar suddenly came back from scratching her head and grabbed the girl’s hand.
“What does this mean?”
When the girl asked her question as if she was wondering why she dragged her as she was and ran somewhere with her, Isgar replied nervously.
“I knew the guys in the Pavilion Sector weren’t crazy, but I didn’t know it would be like this! What’s the difference between a group of psychopaths saying that even a child like you will die with them?!”
“I’m like a psychopath…”
However, the girl’s words did not follow.
“I’m busy, talk to you later!”
Because she ran without rest and headed for Perevaaru Sector.
“Old man! We have to run away quickly!”
To take care of none other than my old friend’s father. Seeing them, the old man shook his head at her bitter face.
“No, I’m fine, so leave first.”
“Why are you even the elders like that! The guys from the Pavilion Sector are enough to talk about crazy things like that!”
“…So I don’t really.”
The girl protests disgruntledly, but soon she is drowned out by the old man’s voice.
“How much help would this old man say if he goes out? I’ve lived my whole life to manage this place.”
His eyes were on the large model cogs in the yard. A knockoff here made by her old friend for her father.
“Oh, really! Elder! It’s not that important!”
Isgar could not stand her frustration and stomped the ground with her feet. Because of that, she was at a time when only a worthless girl was restless for fear of sparks.
“Old man.”
What a long-haired man opened the door and appeared.
“You…”
Isgar looked at him with her subtle eyes. Well, he was one of the famous geeks here. In particular, there were few people who looked favorably on him, who sold ornaments and accessories to the pavilion sector. However, he was the one with a serious expression for some reason, so Isgar decided to take a look at him.
“Wurant? Why are you here all of a sudden?”
The old man looked at him with surprised eyes. Then Wurand knelt down and bowed his head.
“Teach me again!”
Because he was once the disciple he taught. The old man sighed while Ysuga watched with astonished eyes.
“…That’s true. Young people don’t let old people rest.”
The old man finally laughed bitterly and got up from his seat. In his bosom was a small gear ornament.
“Tadaeo, that bastard! Where did you run to?!”
Lucas ran. Normally, he would have been busy doing his own thing.
Hehe! Really!”
He was to the point of resenting his heavy body. He should have been good when his friends nagged him to take care of himself. Then he finally found Thaddaeo.
“Hey! You! Is it only here that you ran away?!”
“Lucas? How are you here?”
Lucas clicked his tongue as he looked at Tha Daeo, who looked at him with surprised eyes.
“Your actions are obvious. And I’ve been tipped off to where you’re likely to run before Yakaf goes up.”
One of them is right here. It was a place with a large peach tree.
“It must be the end here as well. That tree has already died.”
Lucas clicked his tongue at the sight of a dried, twisted, dead copy tree without a single leaf or petal left.
“…No. It can’t be. He was alive until recently.”
Thaddaeo muttered as if he had lost his mind.
“Tsk, anyway.”
Lucas shook his head at his appearance and approached Thaddeo. He had been that way ever since Krikaliev, Usher, and Erica had gone. No matter where they were locked up, they somehow managed to get out of there, so it was to the point of getting tired of it.
“Okay, let’s go upstairs quickly. Everyone is avoiding it.”
That was when he helped the fallen Thaddaeo.
“Just leave it.”
“What?”
“Leave it. What are you going to do with a guy like me alive?”
Lucas looked back at him angrily. Tha Daeo was so skinny and shedding tears, so he clicked his tongue without thinking of stabbing his hand.
“So you want to die?”
“Anyway, someone like me has to live…”
“Then I won’t let you die even more.”
“What?”
Thaddaeo looked at him in surprise, but Lucas dragged him forward.
“You think you can escape what you’ve done by simply dying? No thanks!”
Lucas continued, thinking of an old friend of his.
“If you think death will avoid responsibility, you are mistaken. You will have to live with regret for the rest of your life.”
What’s more, even if he’s such a bad guy, he’s a guy he’s affectionate with anyway. He couldn’t let him die easily. So he dragged Thaddeus along.
“Where’s the wagon?! There are still refugees left!”
The Holy Land, Rak Saria, was caught up in an abyss. The sudden resurrection of a demon who was said to have been sealed in the Tsushima Age. If it had been someone else’s words, they would have dismissed it as nonsense, but the saintess was the first to hear the news, so the ripple effect was great. Even those who did not believe the news could not deny the fact, seeing the huge shock that shook the ground and the castle that had stood tall and guarded the holy ground for a long time collapsing little by little. People were busy avoiding the body, and the knights, including the paladin, took the lead and led them to the wagon.
“Boas! Arun! Kane! How’s the situation?”
Rachel was also one of the knights leading them.
“Fortunately, the carriage is on the relaxed side.”
“Because there was a wagon that came along with you while you were on the expedition.”
Fortunately, thanks to the nature of the Holy Land, pilgrims gathered from all over the place, the wagons were plentiful even in normal times. On the contrary, the Holy Land was to the extent that such personal wagons caused more problems.
“But I ran into a problem.”
“It’s a problem. What the hell…”
It was a moment when Rachel was puzzled by Kane’s words.
“Get on quickly!”
“No! How dare you leave the land God has given you and go somewhere?!”
On the other side, I found the image of the knight and his family arguing.
“As you can see, there are not one or two people who insist on not leaving.”
Arun answered her as if she let out a sigh. Rachel, watching her, shook her head.
“You don’t have to convince them.”
“…Then what about those people?”
“There are many people who want to live.”
Rachel was the highest-ranking knight in the district. Cardinal and other knights of a similar position to her were guiding refugees in their respective districts.
“In time to persuade them, tell them to evacuate those who want to live longer. That way will save more people.”
So she needed to take responsibility in this area and save more people. I couldn’t leave those who desperately wanted to live because of those who were being eaten up by their faith and neglecting themselves. Boas and Arun nodded and each left to tell the people what she had said. After hearing the news of the chivalry wrangling with his family who refused to leave, he left them alone and ran to save others.
“…Are you really all right?”
Then, at Kane’s question, who was still by her side, she nodded her head.
“Yes, because I also swore.”
As long as she was her knight, she had to make her best decision in her own position. Even if she is hated by many because of that choice. Because it was her responsibility.
‘Yes? Master?’
Rachel watched as the castle that had stood tall in the center of the Holy Land in the distance was crumbling little by little. She was sure That her master would be fighting there.
“…”
Because of this, she did not know how Kane was looking at her.
“Rahil? Are you Rahil?”
Then Rachel opened her eyes wide at the sound of her voice.
“Yakaf, it looks like you’ve made it in the end. Maybe not in the form you hoped for.”
Primal Sector looked up at the sky.
“Finally this role is over.”
Because on the ceiling where the clean sunset was supposed to shine, black cracks, like broken glass, were growing in size.
“But it’s unexpected. Originally, I was also going to end up with Rock Saria.”
The Primal Sector laughed at the image of a woman dragging a corpuscle of gears up.
“You have friends as strange as you.”
He watched the sky crumble to the end.
