Chapter 190 – Nosferatu (17)
──!!
What happened
Daisy vomited red blood and hurriedly came to her senses.
I heard the sound of bells, and then——did I lose my consciousness for a while?
It’s a mistake.
Holding on to a spirit that seemed ready to let go again at any moment, Daisy checked her body condition.
There is quite a bit of damage inside. Did your intestines hurt a bit? Still, I had to endure. He forcibly stopped the bleeding from the wound that had burst with magic.
His shoulders were a little sore. Is it broken? … Fortunately, Daisy was Scarlett’s. That’s right, he can’t even follow the great master’s toes, but as his follower, he can borrow some of his near-immortality regenerative powers.
‘Quit.’
Duduk, duduk—. Daisy, who checked the condition of the stuck bones with a terrifying sound, spat out a clot of blood that rose up again.
… And, from a while ago, I couldn’t see well.
‘Did I get a taste of the shock wave for a while?’
It was fine. Kwadeuk! As I endured the dizzying pain that seemed like I was about to scream, I chewed my lips and blood dripped down, and my vision returned to clear.
‘… Who else?’
Daisy, who had regained her sight, carefully looked around with her own two eyes.
“… Are you okay, Daisy?”
“Master… ?!”
Daisy was the flagship. The lovely Master she loved, stood before her and shed her blood.
Not only her broken vision, but also her spirit was ruined to such an extent that she couldn’t even feel the presence of her master who protected her in front of her with just one attack.
Or, was it that the damage suffered by the owner was so great that her presence almost disappeared?
“… Because of me… ?!”
She knows too. Her owner is an immortal body that never dies, and even if her internal organs are crushed and her head blown off, she is ridiculously resurrected.
In that sense, even while her consciousness was blown, the attack that even the master was fatally wounded to the extent that she was still less regenerated, if Daisy had received it with her body instead of him, she would have died helplessly on the spot.
Daisy knew better than anyone.
Even so.
“Whoa. Because you’re okay.”
“… Yes, yes.”
Her brilliant golden hair was soaked in her blood, and the sight of her master wiping away the dripping water made Daisy’s heart break.
“Master, sorry, sorry…”
“Stop.”
Daisy’s words, which swelled in her stomach, were cut off by her Scarlett.
Her momentum changed rapidly.
Daisy, too, reflexively braced herself for her mighty aura that sent chills down her spine.
“The second wave is coming.”
It is the first wave that Daisy loses her mind for a moment even though Scarlett accepted it earlier. Daisy, with her nervous expression, was worried about the other two in her company, who, while she was in a state of disrepair herself, were far short of her physically.
“They sent them both into the shadows.”
Noticing her concern, Scarlett replied.
“… Unlike you, who can survive by accepting me instead, those two die instantly.”
It was an apologetic reply. I mean, while the other girls were evacuated, Daisy was left with her…
“It’s okay.”
Straighten bent knees The aura on the sword in Daisy’s hand, 〈 Foruna 〉, was sharpened even more.
Daisy’s eyes opened. Her eyes contained only the man she loved.
“… I am your sword.”
Those were the words Daisy repeated to herself.
Catchy words.
Promise, oath.
A firm grip and an unbreakable will.
My body is harder than ever, and it looks like it’s about to break.
Daisy felt more comfortable than ever.
… Daisy felt as if something of her was blooming little by little within her.
Ah. I see
After all, I have to live for you to be a blooming existence.
Daisy’s eyes changed.
“Is the new wave drama over?”
And, the second wave.
───!
*
The second wave was blocked more easily than the first.
She evacuated the two people she needed to care about in advance, and if she was hit directly, she would die instantly, so the momentum of Daisy, who should have paid attention to her, has changed, thanks to Scarlett’s burden on her being relieved a little. Was
“…」
Daisy’s growth was more surprising to Vassago than Scarlett.
It was an insect that would burst and die as soon as it was crushed. If she hadn’t been the antagonist who guarded it, she could have torn that body apart and even burned her soul dozens and hundreds of times.
But what about now?
Like a fire on firewood, a radiant soul.
Although they haven’t reached the realm, if there is really just one step, a flashing moment through this fight, many people will cross the horizon that has been lost without being able to cross it right away.
「Huh.」
For Vassago, who had the authority to bring out the results as intended, it was also extremely distasteful.
“I thought it was a flying fly.”
Was it a butterfly waiting to spread its wings?
I didn’t look at it on purpose. Because I thought it was insignificant.
That is the only weakness of Vassago’s [Guidance], Which seems irrational to the point of dizziness.
Because the number of times that can be used at one time is limited.
We do not see the future, the process, and the results that result from it that are not worth observing.
Daisy had been meaningless to Vassago until just now.
So she didn’t see any future for her. She did not lead to any results.
With that power, it was a much more efficient and correct thing to do to keep the ‘adversary’ in check.
But.
How is it now?
Is she, too, unworthy of ‘observation’?
“… Is it the influence of the adversary?”
Not like that. However, it was already too late to observe using the Authority now. I don’t know if it was before the buds opened, but it wasn’t efficient enough to prevent it from already starting to bloom.
What Vassago felt a sense of crisis was about the power to ‘bloom’ the people around her, which was shown by her antagonist—Scarlet.
Even if Daisy becomes a master, she will be surprised at her growth, but there will never be a bar accident paying attention to her strength.
Furthermore.
“You’re a child who was blocked in the first place.”
Daisy has not met the most basic conditions to become a master.
That’s why, in any future that Vassago could see, there was no future where she would become a Master.
Bar accident eyes, which finally drew her attention from her, stared at her scarlet.
“As expected, I don’t know about anyone else, but as much as you here——”
Vassago’s hand rang the bell once again.
With my daughter-
3rd wave. Vassago thought this would be quite lethal to them. The second wave was blocked without much damage, but in the end even that has a limit.
It should have been weaker than the first wave, but isn’t the biggest reason they were able to withstand the second wave was because they didn’t have a rearguard to protect?
Because there are no people who need to protect it with care and take the damage instead—.
If so, since the first wave was fatal, it would be enough to accumulate damage.
And Vasago was more confident than anyone else in creating such a ‘result’.
──!
Scarlett’s face contorted with an indescribable, indescribable sound. At first glance, it is nothing more than a clear bell that simply rings, but to the target, it inflicts a world-shattering shock.
However, it endures.
Scarlett and Daisy. It survived up to the third wave without breaking. It didn’t end with enduring, and if even Vassago took it with his bare body, a ‘darkness’ so thick that he would have to prepare for death, attacked Vassago as if he had been waiting for it.
“Kuk!”
Perong!
But even that, with my daughter— With the sound of Vassago’s bell, the darkness that seemed to crush him shattered.
Scarlett’s fine brows twisted at the sight of Vassago easily escaping from the trap she had crafted with all her heart.
But.
“… It’s a threat, I mean.”
Looked smart
The appearance of Vassago, who escapes through the 4th wave and restores his body.
From Scarlett’s body, the shadow began to rise and sway like mad.
*
Daisy Blackwood.
Chepesch’s most loyal servant, maid, maid… No matter what she herself thinks, no one will think of the image of ‘independent’ with these modifiers.
And that was the most fatal flaw in becoming a master.
Because the most important thing in advancing to becoming a master was ‘perfecting myself’.
What you want yourself
The way you want to go on your own.
One’s own desires, desires, wishes.
You have to face them. That’s the most basic.
What about daisy?
‘Not really.’
Does not exist.
What the master wants, what she wants.
What the master wants to achieve is the path she must follow.
I want to receive the master’s desire rather than my own desire.
Daisy would be happy to live like that for the rest of her life.
There is no law that all caged birds are unhappy.
In the arms of my beloved Master, forever——.
‘No.’
Do not do that.
I want to, but I can’t.
Daisy had to move on. Away from her master’s comforting embrace, she had to stand alone.
… It didn’t go well.
The aura became sharp. It came clean. The size also got bigger. The power within her body also increased moment by moment, becoming much stronger than he was just a few minutes ago.
But that doesn’t work.
In that way, she can only struggle in front of the wall forever, unable to cross the realm.
‘… What should I do?’
Swinging her sword at Scarlett’s direction, Daisy nervously bit her lip, striking out with a familiar wave.
The body fell into a trance. My body moved first before thinking with my head. While contemplating what to do, the sword moved toward its goal without wavering.
When Scarlett beckons, she swings her sword.
‘Even at this moment.’
Trance.
Even now, after falling in love endlessly, he followed Scarlett’s instructions. While I can no longer hear the annoying bell, I hear every single voice of the man I love.
‘It’s too much. I can’t.’
Getting out of Scarlett’s arms is possible.
But if she wanted to be independent forever, Daisy couldn’t do that.
Everything in life.
The only master I will love even if I dedicate my whole life to it.
Even if I burn everything, at least I wanted to be in Scarlett’s arms.
‘Ah.’
Daisy came to mind.
Already, her body was given over to Scarlett. Even now, in a trance, I listen to his voice faithfully.
So what next?
‘My thought.’
Thought.
Way of thinking.
To the root of the soul.
‘Let’s literally give it everything.’
So, let’s empty ‘me’.
Let’s give all ‘I’ to the owner.
And, as the owner, I will fill up ‘me’.
Then, that would be my completion.
───The green aura began to burn endlessly.
Flowers have bloomed.
Her name was Daisy.
