Became Apocalypse’s Harem Warrior. 232

Chapter 232 – 232. Claudia, the Little Witch Who Escaped From the Sacrifice of Her Loved Ones. [A Devastated Little Witch and a Kitten][1]

‘That is the sacred relic of the goddess…! I can’t believe I actually saw that…!!!’

Owen, the leader of the Holy Knights, was surprised by the holy relic summoned by the acting archbishop.
The sacred relics of Gwangmyeong Goddess Church are from the goddess Nadia before she became a goddess and ascended to heaven.
It refers to objects imbued with divinity among the objects used by saints.
Relics are literally kept like a vision and are not easily revealed.
It was a sacred item that occasionally appeared during battles with a handful of monsters.

“It’s something to be proud of, Grand Mage Merlin… A holy relic is a treasure that most monsters will never be permitted to give… You are a great monster… Kekekekekekeke…!”

Shuooooo…! Gooooo…!

The mirror of the saint summoned above the head of the acting archbishop radiated an enormous amount of divine power.
The sacred power seemed to be on a different level from the sacred power emitted by the Holy Knights.
There was a difference in quantity, but visually it was much more brilliant and the lights continued to flash.

The acting archbishop was confident all along because he brought such an enormous object with him.

“Merlin!!!! Merlin’s arm!! “No, not on your body!!!!”

And the effects were evident right away.

Sssss…! Sssss…!

Black-purple veins sprouted from Merlin’s hands, neck, etc.
The debuff started to get worse.
The divine power of the goddess is extreme to demons.
Therefore, if you are not protected by the magic of a demon, a strong body, or a special Noble Phantasm of an ordinary wizard, serious dark ether reflux will occur.

“The saint in charge of relics said so… Merlin, because you are a mixed race, you have the energy of a monster, but you do not have the strong body of a monster.”

“Furthermore, since we have been honing and polishing dark magic so hard, the debuff reaction to the holy relics will inevitably be more severe… I should have known the topic…”

Looking at that scene, the acting archbishop set his chin arrogantly.
He knew full well how fatal the goddess’ holy relics were to Merlin.

Merlin, a half-demon, possessed outstanding magical powers from a young age.
I wanted to make a living by helping people.
She wanted to help those who were discriminated against and ostracized like herself.
She thereby became a wizard.
Even after she was kicked out of the wizard group, she didn’t want to let it go.
So, despite the great risk, she walked the path of a mage.
Despite his warm heart and hard work, the path he followed ended up trapping Merlin in her footsteps.

ㅡPaaaaa!!!

But Merlin did not waver even in this dangerous situation.
With a calm expression, she stretched out her hand to spread her magic.

“Merlin!!!!”

Shuaaaaa…!

However, that magic was not for attack.
His judgment seemed to be that the fight was already over.
He chose to protect Claudia.
Claudia was caught in a barrier created by Merlin’s magic power.

“Wow… Mr. Merlin… You’re overdoing it…”

ㅡShooooo…!

Looking at the scene, the acting archbishop imbued the holy relic with divine power.
The intention is to intensify the mana reflux of Merlin, who is activating magic power while under a debuff.

ㅡFuuuuup!!! Wow!!

As a result, Merlin poured out her dark red blood in front of her.

“Merlin!!!!!!!!!!”

Claudia inside the barrier screamed in surprise.

– Cool slurp!! -Cough!!

Merlin continued to bleed.

Rumbling…! Zurgul …!

She started bleeding from his mouth as well as from her nose, ears and eyes.

[Igor… Please give me some time… Time to warp Claudia…]

Merlin, who began experiencing severe mana reflux, found it difficult to warp Claudia to a safe place.
She then asked Igor, the mud golem captain, for help.

[Okay. Merlin]

ㅡsssss…!

After hearing the telepathy, Igor took a jumping stance.

[I was happy spending time with you and Claudia.]

“

ㅡPaaaaa!!!!

Afterwards, with her enormously enlarged body, she jumped and attacked the Archbishop.

[Thank you Igor… I was always reassured because I had you…]

Passsss…!

Thanks to this, Merlin began concentrating mana to warp Claudia again.

“It’s a ploy to buy time!!!! “The mage has been sealed off, so we will finish off the clay dolls!!!”

ㅡPaaaaa!!!!

As the mud golems led by Igor charged in as if they were fighting to the death, the paladins led by Owen also charged in fiercely.

-Puuuuu!! ㅡSuuuuuck!! ㅡFuaaaaa!! ㅡFuuuuuk!!!

However, if the golem is not accompanied by a buff from the person who created it, the golem is ultimately only a tool for survival.
The mud golems were chopped, cut, and destroyed by the knights’ swords.

“Uuuuu…! No…! Mud golems…! Merlin…! Huuuuu…!”

Struggling…! Struggling…! Struggling…! Struggling…! Struggling…!

Seeing that miserable sight, Claudia struggled within the barrier.

‘I can’t let all my precious things disappear like this…!!!’

Sigh…!

Bars…! Bars…! Bars…! Bars…! Bars…!

I was so happy during the time I was with Merlin that I forgot about it.
Those miserable memories from my childhood.
However, when those memories came back again and she saw the terrible scene before her eyes, Claudia trembled with fear.
But even then she raised her witch’s wand to do something.

[No, Cliudia… If you use your strength… I have no choice but to push myself even harder and strengthen the barrier… So please stay as is…]

At that moment, Merlin dissuaded Claudia through her telepathy.

“But… Don’t do it…”

Bars…! Bars…! Bars…! Bars…!

Claudia was left with her face a mess of tears and snot.

[It’s okay, Claudia… I think my life will be truly meaningful if you survive… So please stay alive…]

Grinning…!

Merlin, whose eyes were blurred, seemed to picture Claudia like that.
It was her Merlin who smiled warmly as if to comfort her.

“Uuuuu…”

Sigh…!

Eventually Claudia put down her wand.

ㅡ Shuaahah ahhhhh !!!

Then, enough of her Merlin’s mana was gathered to form a beam of light to warp Claudia.

“Hauuuuu…! Uuuuu…! Huuuuu…!!”

Ahhh…!

Claudia was seen beyond that beam of light.
The sight of torn and burning golems,
It was also heard. The sound of Merlin coughing up her blood,
She is unable to do anything in the face of her loved ones disappearing like that.
Claudia was so hateful and cursed.
She clutched her head as if in despair.

[Blame me Claudia… Don’t break yourself… Don’t break down even if you blame me…]

It was an image of young Claudia that even her Merlin could not help but expect and feel.
So I asked so earnestly not to become Claudia, who falls apart.

ㅡChuaaaaa!!!!

With that telepathy, Merlin cast warp.

“Haaaaa!!! Merlin!!! Far away!!!!!!!”

Claudia cries as she looks at Merlin’s fading appearance.
Just like that, she disappeared with a flash of warp mana.

ㅡSharp!!

As soon as Claudia was warped, Merlin sat down.

ㅡCheolpudeok!!!

She then fell forward like a fallen tree.

“Wow… That’s really amazing, Merlin… You were able to use warp magic successfully even in a situation where there was so much mana flowing back…”

The acting archbishop sneered with admiration as he looked at Merlin, who had fallen over the mountain of bodies of mud golems.

“Shall we conduct a search to catch the runaway witch, Acting Archbishop?”

Owen, who finished off the mud golems, looked towards the acting archbishop and said.

“It’s okay, Sir Owen. “Now that we’ve gotten rid of her Merlin, it won’t look good to go after a little witch like that.”

Damn…! Damn…! Damn…! Damn…!

The Acting Archbishop answered Owen’s words as he approached Merlin.

“Merlin… Your life, which was born in vain, is being put to good use. Kkkk…!

Sigh…!

Afterwards, she looked down at her Merlin, who was lying miserably at her feet, and laughed evilly.

‘Yes… It was worth it… Life with Claudia… It was worth it…’

At the last moment, Merlin smiled warmly.
Because he protected his greatest treasure.

Pop…! Pop…!

The image of myself running away, leaving my loved ones behind,
Tears like chicken droppings fell from Claudia’s eyes as she told Kim Tae-sik about it.
There was no focus in the gaze of those eyes.

‘You’re blaming yourself, witch… You were blaming yourself, that look in your eyes…’

Kim Tae-sik, who had reacted with anger at the villagers’ betrayal, soon turned into an expression full of regret.
The innocent look he showed when he first met Claudia,
But on the contrary, there were some fierce aspects that were shown occasionally.
Claudia was desperately trying to overcome the self-reproach deep in her heart with her bold appearance and elitist attitude.
Resentment towards Merlin, who was angry and angry,
And resentment towards the goddess,
They all had the same meaning.

“Bah… Isn’t that stupid…? “She shed tears like this… Despite being a witch…”

Ssuk… Sssss…

Claudia suddenly found the focus of her eyes.
Looking at her in that state, her appearance was once again absurd.
She was an embarrassed Claudia, wiping her tears with her sleeve.

“No…! That’s not true, witch. It’s natural. “Before she was a witch, she was a human…”

Kim Tae-sik comforted Claudia.
I was only 14 years old at the time,
It is natural to be so scared and not know what to do.
Emotions are also natural as humans.
Kim Tae-sik spoke his thoughts firmly and carefully.

“Thank you…”

Nodding…!

Do do do do do do do do…!

Claudia expressed her gratitude with a tearful face.
Her Seraphim approached her with a worried look on her face.

“So… I met Seraphim after that…”

“Meow…”

Pat… Pat… Pat… Pat…

Claudia stroked her Seraphim’s head.

Juruk! Juruk! Jururururuk! Jururuluk! Juruk!

“Useless bitch… Coward… Cowardly bitch…”

The deep, deep forest north of Euphoria that Claudia has warped to,
It was raining there like Claudia’s heart.
Claudia, who was lying face down in the warped form, blamed herself again and again as she was hit by the rain.

“Die…Die just like that…Die just like that, you coward…”

The sun was breaking and a day had passed.
However, as she said, Claudia has lost her will to live.
She continued to lie there.

[Claudia… I’m sorry Claudia…]

At that moment, a very warm voice conveyed a sincere apology.
