Chapter 73 – The Red Witch’s Rescue Operation
Beatrice, the deputy guild master of the [Cronos] Guild, is a max-level elf mage, and the stepsister of Damian, the guild master of Cronus. She was also the existence of the fragments of Damian’s consciousness, though not revealed outside of her.
She walked over ruins littered with rubble, her long, red, curly hair flying over a black [Cruel Moon Cape]. Amidst the faint smell of black, hot gunpowder, she sensed traces of strong magical powers in the dust.
The damp air of the swamps, scattered between them, blew. It was not a comfortable space.
If you look up a bit more, you can see the [Eckdona Castle], Which is mostly just rubble. She entered the front door, where [Red Flower] Flags were flying. A full three weeks had passed since the war broke out. Her job was to find a woman named Perrin.
“Please present your pass.”
“Here.”
She handed over the guild crest with the orange pattern of [Chronos] On it. As soon as the level 50 player of [Red Flower] Saw the pattern, he was so surprised that he almost missed the guild crest. You could see the savage shirtless warrior’s muscles trembling.
The current [Cronos] Guild is a stronger guild than the [Red Flower] And [Justice] Guilds combined and is their ally. From such a place, a person who was good at bugilma came to [Ekdona Castle], Which is not much to look at. The man who was acting as a guard answered by gulping down and prodding the side of his colleague who was sleeping next to him.
“Ah, ah, ah, I’m sorry I didn’t notice you came this far.”
“You may not know, where is the castle lord?”
“He is living in a makeshift shelter over there.”
Looking at them coldly, Beatrice stood tall and passed them by. She, too, was part of Damian’s consciousness. Although his consciousness as a man was very vague, he had a peculiar personality that did not even feel sexual attraction to men. When developing her character named Beatrice, Damian was really quiet, so that kind of taciturn personality was reflected. She glanced at them with eyes like looking at NPCs.
“Wow, look at that woman’s arrogance.”
“Shh, listen. That woman, [Chronos], Is not a fortune teller.”
“Eup!”
“Yeah, yup!”
The guard players struggled to forget the red witch they had just seen. Without thinking, Beatrice fluttered her robe and headed for the temporary residence where her castle lord was staying. Since the castle had completely collapsed, the building seemed to have been roughly built from nearby trees. Beatrice frowned at the smell of oil and alcohol wafting from her street.
-Smart
“Hey, who are you?”
Inside, people quickly came out. A very old man was clad in a clergyman’s uniform. His mouth also smells like alcohol. Beatrice was on the verge of bursting out at the sight of the indolent humans, but she pursed her lips thinking what she was going to do.
“I came to see the lord. I am Beatrice, the bugilma of [Chronos].”
“Ah! I am the lord of the castle. If she had told me in advance, she would have gone out and greeted me… Lol.”
Seeing Beatrice’s expression harden, Seongju withdrew a laugh. She realized that Beatrice did not come simply to celebrate a victory.
Still, he was able to figure out the subject, so he took on the role of the lord of the castle in [Red Flower]. He was also one of the three people who secretly spied on [Eckdonna Castle] While wearing the [Armor of the Courageous]. He was infinitely cruel to Perrin, but he lowered his head like a docile sheep standing in front of Beatrice.
“Eat this way, this way.”
“Yes.”
Even if it was the temporary residence of the lord of the castle, all the infrastructure collapsed during the siege, and only a small part remained. Living in this small, almost two-room room was a new luxury in this ruined castle. If the debris is disposed of, it will become resistant, but the castle owner was lazy and did not even clean up the debris.
When Beatrice glared at the wine jug that was messy on the desk, Seongju quickly removed it. Still unable to spit on his smiling face, Beatrice brushed off the dust from the chair and sat on it, crossing his legs.
And since Beatrice had come to find traces of ‘that woman,’ it was easier to find if the trash was messily arranged like this. Rather, it is the plate that should reward the indolent castle lord. She only frowns on her because of her innate ‘absolutely good’ nature.
“That… What did you come for?”
“I came looking for a silver-haired woman,” She said. Her name is Perrin.”
Beatrice tossed her picture. Because it was a [Screenshot] Magic from Damien’s memory, the shape was almost blurry. Besides, she looked quite plain because she was before her unique [Charm] Was manifested. But her appearance hasn’t changed. As she watched closely, Seongju recalled the image of a woman making a loud noise at her bar. And… Even the fact that she ate her.
“… Ah! This woman! But unfortunately, after she finished the siege, there was no such woman.”
Seongju held her breath and didn’t talk about her behind the scenes. Beatrice raised an eyebrow and answered.
“Then can I go see the prison?”
“Yes… ! Let us guide you. I’m sure you’re hungry somewhere, so let’s have lunch… “
“Hurry.”
When Beatrice spoke sternly, Seongju turned around for a moment and suppressed her anger by frowning at her unfairly. She immediately comes to her senses and her hot temper calms her mind. She was a priest thanks to her passive skill, [Meditation]. The castle owner, who changed into her vaguely smiling face, took her Beatrice to the dungeon of the castle.
Beatrice walked over her ruins, clattering her boots. She was tall for a woman, and the high heels of her shoes made the priest next to her look very small. The priest opened the key to the dungeon and went inside, her shoulders also shrunken.
“The dungeon is here.”
“Where is the blue-blue guy?”
“The man is in the deepest… I wouldn’t recommend seeing it.”
“Okay.”
There were many broken places on the prison road, and it was built in the form of a labyrinth, so there were many forks and dead ends. After turning a dead end several times, Seongju felt sweaty. Although he was close to reaching the highest level, he was so strong that it was impossible to guess how strong Beatrice was, and Beatrice’s patience was nearing the bottom, as evidenced by her expression.
“… Hehe, it seems to be here.”
“I see, it was hard.”
Sungjoo cringed at Beatrice and guided her to the blue and blue room. But she stood at a distance from the prison entrance, and he held out the key to Beatrice. Beatrice took his key as if he didn’t care and opened the prison door where Parang Blue was.
-Kiik
“Grrrr!”
Inside, a boy covered in blood and wrapped in all sorts of sealed spells was spitting out a bloody voice. Even though the ability was sealed and it was a skill that did not fit the job, the lion’s roar poured out to send the jjoraps in one shot. Beatrice’s hair also fluttered brightly as if it had been hit by strong wind pressure.
“Grrr… Grr…”
“Blue blue, raise your head.”
“Kreur… Why are you here!”
Parangpaang, who has been talking about only one character, uttered a hoarse voice and couldn’t believe his eyes. The form of ‘Beatrice’, faintly visible in the sealed seal where judgment and even the mind are blurred, seemed to see a ghost. Because he saw Damian with his own eyes on the same account, he was an existence that shouldn’t exist here from the beginning.
With his brain not spinning, Blue Blue barely believed that Damian had taken a [Transformation potion]. He began to weep boyish tears like chicken poo, as if appealing to good Damian.
“Damian, nice to meet you. Leave me like this sorry back then huh? You know, I’m the smartest among the [Luts] Guild’s assistants.”
Beatrice swallowed in disgust at her plea. I didn’t go to that [Roots] Gilma meeting, but it was because the tears of a crocodile were very visible. A while ago, the priest was also smiling at himself. The fragments of Damian transferred to the female body were able to read people’s expressions much better than when she was a man, which rather tested Beatrice’s patience.
So it was even more disgusting. If it wasn’t for the need to find ‘Perrin’ as soon as possible, he might have tortured Blue Blue right here. Just because it’s ‘absolute good’ doesn’t mean that there’s no hesitation in inflicting pain. Rather, it is also a character that should be thoroughly punished if it is ‘evil’.
“There is only one thing I want to ask. Where is ‘Perrin’?”
“… Do not know.”
Blue Blue raised the corners of her mouth. Her intentions were revealed in her barely-seen face, covered in the blood that flowed from her head. It was also a mistake that she did not like blue-blue. Beatrice relentlessly reached out her hand and twisted her neck. Waves of magical power flowing from her hands strangled Blue Blue’s throat.
“You seem to know, [Monologue Book]”
“Kuh… What… ? Evil! The bitch ran away. Heuk, follow Teresa… ! Crane… “
“Wouldn’t it be nice to blow quietly? If I hadn’t thought about anything else, I wouldn’t have been sick. Should I blow what it looks like? [Screenshot]”
Beatrice smiled brightly and patted the blue hair with her staff. Then, at the last moment, a picture of a woman in a slutty maid outfit and a silver-haired woman who was breathtakingly beautiful even at a glance fell down. Holding the photo with her index finger, Beatrice winked at Parang Blue, lightly pressing the skirt that had been pushed up against his thigh.
“Then I hope [Red Flower] Will take care of you.”
“Oooh! You gay bastard! Help me!”
“Now the gays are that way. I’ve been a girl since I was born.”
“Yai garbage!”
Beatrice clicked her tongue and closed the prison door. As soon as Beatrice left the prison, he let out a shallow breath. The desire to tear apart the blue sky in a brutal way rose to the bottom of his chin, but he managed to hold it back. He immediately grabbed the back of the head of the castle owner, who had fallen on the floor near the door.
“Eh, hehe.”
“Go to the side where this woman is.”
“That… A girl like this isn’t in prison… ?”
Beatrice pointed at Teresa in the [Screenshot] With her bewitching index finger. But Seongju smiled awkwardly and shook her head. Beatrice sighs and nods her head lightly, saying she got it.
Immediately after, Beatrice turns around and strides out of the prison. Because of the magician’s stat distribution that raises [Intelligence], She has already memorized the complex structure of the prison because she has become too smart. However, no matter how much her intelligence increased and her brains improved, it did not mean that she would become a genius.
Above a certain level, there was only an effect that the mind became a little clearer and the ‘memory’ increased a little, the efficiency of the passive skill [Memorize] Increased and the power of magic increased.
“Hey, hey! There is a dead end… That’s not right.”
“I don’t think you know the road, do you? If you don’t follow me, I think you’ll be imprisoned forever.”
“Now, wait! Together… !”
Seongju hurried her steps and followed Beatrice. Beatrice strode out of the dungeon with great strides, as if she was not tired. Seongju also managed to follow her and left. Beatrice floated a picture of Perrin and Theresa lying in the air and drew a magic circle with intricate patterns on it. Then two beams of light flew up into the air and spread out.
“I found it.”
Beatrice shouted [Ah space storage] And pulled her broom out of the air. To the lord of the castle, it seemed as if a broom was created in midair.
Beatrice trampled the comb of her broomstick with both her shoes and burned it while standing. In an instant, she levitated, and Beatrice flew after the light that soared into the air. Sungjoo just watched her with her mouth open underneath her. Belatedly, a stream of her blood flowed from her nose.
“… Black pantyhose.”
