Chapter 197 – 197 – You and I Here
Fortunately, Lennie’s embarrassment was not further fueled.
Because many important events were happening at the same time.
[Angrakam is back. This body is an immortal destruction! Even death could not stop Angrakam, so this time he will destroy this tiny world!]
[Do you really want to leave it like that? I, Ragnaroka, declare banishment to the ghosts of the past!]
At the moment when a distant thunderclap shakes the world, the silhouettes of two giant dragons are reflected on the translucent wall of the palace. A fierce battle is taking place beyond the sky between the evil dragon Angrakam and the Dragon Lord.
[I don’t know how much time and effort it took Mithra to find your body and resurrect you. But it won’t take much longer than that to piece it back together!]
[That madness makes me happy. Try your best, young dragon!]
As Rod said, I guess I invested a lot in something. At Lord’s words that he would cut Angra Kam into pieces, Mithra’s eyes seemed to roll back, and she snorted.
It’s a similar expression to when Despair was taken away by Edin. The childish rage of a child who has had his toy taken away.
The guy takes a step. Angrakam and Rod intertwined and opened towards the huge hole in the outer wall of the hall.
But something held him in place.
Mithra, not knowing what had dared to disturb the gods, turned around and discovered a problem that was closer and more urgent than the fight between dragons.
“You unholy things, face your fears!”
On the other hand, on the left, the demon lord’s fragments… Are doing very disgusting things.
They each put down their ugly weapons and suddenly hugged each other as if they were happy to see each other.
No, it’s more than that. Their cheeks and shoulders are pressed against each other. The moment when party members, embarrassed by the intense skinship, look helpless.
They melted into a single piece of flesh and began to tangle. The skin turns over, revealing dark red bones, and the reassembled bones become legs like those of an insect, supporting the body.
The cursed lump of flesh laughs simultaneously through its multiple mouths.
[This is the image of the one who will reign as the enemy of the world in the coming era of darkness and suffering!]
“···The things that fell from me have been distorted in a truly hideous way. So, is that the original form of the ‘Demon King’?”
[No, you are the dregs. This is the essence of Edin, the human being, and even of all living beings. Hatred and anger intertwined like a tumor. The barbarism and distortion of eating and excreting! Unless you follow one law, you are all beasts!]
The fragments that became one seem to hit Edin, but suddenly they hit Lenny.
The injured Lenny threw himself and rolled, hiding the potion in his arms. Edin desperately inserts himself between Lenny and the Demon King to stop the evil attack.
However, the number of arms is two versus hundreds. Moreover, he gave up the first strike. Therefore, even though Edin desperately wields Despair Lock, he is eventually pushed out.
Then Eshen and Garam gnash their teeth and join together to fight against the Demon King. The agents of the new religion, as well as the forest guards who had been holding back, seemed to be stimulated by this and stood between the first hero and the demon king. He protected our comrade, now we protect him.
With the command of the army, the forest of spear blades floods. As the Demon King cried out with spear points stuck all over his body, Mithra, who had lost another toy, tried to move towards it.
We can’t leave it like that. I held Tena’s arms and let them hang down again.
Mitra, who was preoccupied with the various fights, only a little later realized the identity of the restraint blocking his path. It is the wire of a grappling hook.
“Hold on just a little longer, Tena!”
While everyone was preoccupied with Nenya and Leni’s questions and answers, I hung a wire around Tena’s feet and climbed onto the railing on the second floor.
A hunting not that is fully tied only after pulling. You wouldn’t have been able to notice until the noose had dug into your flesh.
“I will definitely save you…!”
Lift the railing from the upper floor using a lever. Thena’s body, which was lighter than mine, almost floated.
Thank god. It looks like a bit of a power struggle is taking place…
There was a time when I thought that way too.
No, I actually didn’t think it would work. Mithra, who took over Thena’s body, was becoming stronger.
Mithra, who quickly stuck his fingers into the floor and held on, yanked his leg and made me fall in one go.
The physical difference I suddenly realized soon turned into a physical shock and broke my nose.
“···Lilith, damn it. I told you to use your strength.”
“···He’s strange. I’m not sure if he’s a human or a human-looking dragon!”
However, there was no time to worry about being embarrassed or to control the dizziness.
It is reflected on the floor of the hall. A shadow approaching me with the sound of footsteps.
There is a sword in her hand. I looked up in shock.
“A blasphemy and seditious slave.”
The secondary shortsword that Leni had dropped from her belt came out of her scabbard with a clanging sound.
“How many times do you dare to touch her body, which is like a temple containing a god?”
Her arms instinctively lift with an ominous premonition. She covered her head first, not knowing what to do.
And it turned out to be a wise decision. If it had been even a little late, the place where the iron blade had penetrated would have been in the armpit, not the forearm.
The blade was stuck instead of cutting through. This is because Lilith’s grip desperately held on to Thena’s arm.
I’m glad this knife isn’t a despair trap. If it was a special warrior sword made of material, I would have just blown all my hair away like a piece of paper.
I constantly try to think of the good things. Because I felt like I would faint if I didn’t do that.
The lower arm, which is covered by the forearm muscles, has two bones like the shins. Thena’s terrifying strength completely cut off one of them and broke the other.
Damn it, it’s my right arm.
I’m used to all kinds of pain from rolling, getting burned, and being shaken, but this one is quite novel and powerful. The feeling of having your bones cut is awkward and scary.
I thought it was cold, but then something started flowing out. Did I touch a vein that shouldn’t be hurt?
Thena’s eyes rolled, and she screamed the moment she saw the bleeding. With a startling sound.
Thanks to this, the surprised party members turn to look at us. Florica and Isilun’s eyes are turned, and they are about to jump this way.
“Tan! No-!”
“Oh my god…!”
However, a vicious arm extends from the Demon King and grabs them. The two collapsed, wielding the warrior’s sword with a look of disappointment on their faces to protect themselves.
The party members who are tied up in the fight can only express their concern for me through their words.
On the other hand, Mithra didn’t seem to notice the source of the scream. Was it a sound that came from inside Thena?
The guy smiles cruelly and tries to push the knife deeper into my arm.
She quickly grabbed Thena’s wrist with her left hand and lifted it up. Lilith also screamed and tried her best to help.
This time, a slightly tense power struggle is established. It was because my strength radiated from me, like a person about to drown.
But mine won’t last long.
“Do you hear, the sound of all the light allowed to me going out?”
“Off…!”
“It is pitiful and insignificant that your plan was shattered in vain. But wasn’t it foreseeable? Just like the countless empty promises you failed to keep to this child.”
“···Humph… Sound…”
“Oh, don’t you know? Well, that’s always the way imperfect things care. They think that only they sacrificed more, and they don’t know how to be thankful for the good fortune of other people’s existence…”
Just before using both of her hands to crush the sword, Mithra suddenly grabs her forehead and stumbles.
“Forgiveness
···Your own
Exclusive property
This is not…
What? Suddenly my eyes close
···.”
···Are the medicinal effects of bisan poison that Shin Gyo-ju spoke of finally coming into play?
No, that can’t be true. If there has been no effect so far, there is a high probability that it has simply been digested. What kind of blessed body is this, even though it was the poison that defeated Nidro?
Tena’s body trembles, and soon her entire body loses all strength. Thena’s grip did not let go of her sword, but her pressure was much less than before.
The cruelty seemed to drain from her ugly, wrinkled face, and she immediately closed her eyes and lowered her head.
My name is leaking out from the open mouth.
“Tan.”
Why is it that my heart is at ease with that call? Because maybe only you would call me that. Like putting down a burden. As if I felt reassured.
Tena immediately raises her head. Her face is a mess. In the midst of this difficult time, your watery eyes and runny nose are so out of character, yet so unique that it’s funny.
“Are you okay?”
“···Hey, Mr. If it doesn’t look good, why don’t you take it out?”
I said, trying to laugh as if this was a joke.
However, even though her facial expression is her own, it seems that Thena cannot control the aggression contained in her body.
Thena hardened her expression solemnly. She then shook her head.
“I can’t do that. The shock of hurting you only gave me some of the initiative for a moment. I will soon be buried in Mithra’s presence again.”
“… Hang in there just a little while. I promise everything will be okay. There’s a way to save you…”
“So now is your only chance. Kill me.”
“···What?”
“Then Mithra will be catapulted into the spirit world. And because she is so tightly bound to her mortal soul, she will not be able to intervene in our world for a very long time.”
What does that mean?
However, Tena’s speaking style is as one-sided as ever. She speaks resolutely, as if her story is already set. Without even giving me time to understand.
“Angrakam and the Demon King can be defeated, but Mithra, an immortal being… As soon as he gets used to my body, he will be able to wield power that no one can match. There is no other way. This is the only way. .”
“Wait a minute, Thena. What do you mean, when you ask me to kill you-“
“There will be plenty of time before he restores his influence on our world, so come back alive and tell the truth, Tan? We must no longer pray to him. We must not give power to the God who seeks to plunge us into darkness. . We need to help the rest of the gods in the pantheon to drive him out.”
Tena smiles faintly.
“It won’t be impossible. There’s the Dragon Lord and the returning Hero Edin. Who would ignore the testimony of those people?”
“Hey.”
“I do you a favor, Tan. Can you tell everyone to live happily ever after? That’s all. I don’t think we need any more luck than that.”
My head froze. However, someone seemed to have made a much more calm judgment than me.
Erina, with her broken arm hanging down, hurriedly approaches. She then tightened her grip on the handle of the dagger at her waist.
When I rolled my eyes, Erina stopped. Tena leaned her forehead against mine.
“I’m glad. I was able to meet some wonderful people and leave. And at the last moment… You were with me.”
“Don’t pull out that sword, Erina. Never!”
“···Let’s be clear, Thena. If you lose your life, will Mithra’s plan to plunge the world into darkness be thwarted?”
“I’m sure, Erina. No one can see his plans as closely as I can. Thank you so much. May happiness and good luck follow you.”
“Compared to the comments he made to Tan, his farewell to me was quite dry. It made me feel sad…”
Erina grumbled on purpose to kill her emotions, she hesitated a little and then roughly pulled out her dagger.
The eerie sound of metal scraping against leather feels like my heart is being cut. I shouted desperately.
“Wait! What about the World Temple? Someone has to protect the seal of the World Temple! If you kill Thena-“
“Is that all you’re saying to save Thena? Are you trying to make her do something worse than death?”
Erina’s sarcasm lacks any hint of ridicule. There is sadness on Erina’s face too.
The reason she doesn’t put the knife to her throat right away is because she wants to wait until I accept her wish.
Tena’s voice is trembling.
“The guard… Don’t worry. Even if it’s not me, someone will do it. People become stronger when they have something to protect…”
“···It’s enough now, Tan. We’ve done enough.”
“Hey, what about the medicine? The potion! Lenny will have it. Run and get it! You can just put it in now!”
“Damn it, if you don’t do it now, you’ll die! I don’t want to lose two friends at once!”
“If you’re going to do that, you’d rather kill me first. I’d rather fall to the ground than accept that it ends this way!”
“I said I’m fine!”
Tena screamed. Hot tears fall down my cheeks. Thena’s twitching expression as she cries brings back memories of a good day.
At the same time, her grip on Thena’s sword tightened. It seemed like lightning flashed before her eyes.
When I cleared my throat from the dizzying pain that was felt in her bones, Thena said, squeezing out her breath.
“I’m telling you not to get hurt any more because of me. Why are you always so stubborn?”
Who is really stubborn? I can’t help but laugh.
“Whatever you plan to do, do it quickly. Evenna’s resistance is strong! I don’t think I can stop it forever…!”
Nenya’s cry is desperate. The sound of the temporary prison being broken apart is heard. Evenna’s angry cries become increasingly clearer. Soon the cold and ice would rush in and tear her apart.
Reason says: Angrakam, the Demon King, and even Evenna. We are already in a situation where we cannot hope for everyone to be lucky enough to survive. You must not impose any greater risk on your colleagues.
And all the remaining unreasonable parts of Tan Bhan Thai are said. No. No. It can’t end like this.
Someone, please help me.
It was not the goddess Ishtar or any other god in the pantheon that answered the prayer.
A miracle stirred in the corner of my vision. I blinked a few times, my eyes becoming increasingly blurry.
The silver marten stood up again, trembling, and was looking straight at me.
As if to say that it is not time to give up yet.
And then it comes running with something in its mouth. Hope shimmered in pink light.
‘I heard it tastes amazing.’
‘How much does leather sell for? Do you hate these guys making money? Don’t be stubborn and give it to me.’
That happened some time ago. It happened a very long time ago, when I was at Uncle Mansell’s party.
It was originally destined to be a snack and pocket money. The only reason he was able to avoid the fate of having his skin peeled off was because of the leader Mancellarion’s stubbornness, bordering on riotous behavior as a snarky little boy.
A bored guy who spends most of his time in a special, enchanted cage. It is a pet that is less affectionate than a cat, let alone a dog.
‘You want to train me like a porter marten? Arthur. Wild animals don’t do that. In the first place, the seeds are different from those found in the stores of those with aptitude for being trainers.’
‘
·
·
·Geo,
I heard it tastes amazing
·
·
·
.’
However, despite the very boring relationship, the guy follows my words as if he were going to throw them into a fire pit…
At the time, I didn’t know why I went out like that, but now that time has passed, I can clearly understand.
I saw myself in the cub who had been abandoned by her family.
He probably did the same.
Erina notices the marten running towards her and stops.
However, Thena’s eyes also shine brightly at the same time. While we’re procrastinating, Mithra seems to have regained control.
When Tena kicks Erina with her back foot, Erina, whose jaw is turned, moans and falls down.
But at that time, the two people who managed to shake off her demon lord are holding onto Thena. As Tena was grabbed from behind by Eshen and Garam, I was thrown away and rolled on the floor, bleeding.
Her left hand shakily reaches towards the knife lodged in her right arm. But her white paw rests on my left hand.
The marten, wheezing with swollen eyelids, spit out the glass tube containing the potion onto the palm of her left hand.
Just as I never abandoned you, you also never abandoned me until the end. What a wonderful guy. My lifelong friend. Once this is done, I will build you a mansion with dried berries and sugar cube snacks.
I nodded, holding the potion glass tube tightly. Dambi let out a sigh of relief and fell down behind her.
“Hold it, Garam! Hold it tight! Just like you did to your mother!”
“···I can’t last long. As a living creature, my status is different…!”
“These little creatures…! Don’t they even know when to give up because they don’t know the subject?”
Don’t ask me for what I can’t do, Tena. Don’t tell me to give up on you.
If I hadn’t planned on holding on to you until the end, I wouldn’t have even dared to come this far.
The needle of the syringe in my hand broke during the fight. The contents of the glass tube are intact, but have lost their functional use.
The marten was so desperate to take it that the container cracked, and the medicine leaked out, so we had to find a place to move it.
Tell him to open it. I know a way to solve both. For the son of Calais and Wintemyr, such difficulties are not a big deal.
The real challenges to consider lie elsewhere. For example, how will Thena accept this?
He walked honestly one step at a time in front of Mitra and raised the syringe. Mithra, shocked, pushes Eshen and Thena away and blocks her syringe with both hands.
Even though it is a medicine made by Ishtar, my one-time rival, I wonder if my vigilance is too strict.
‘Will it work? Take it somewhere. Let’s drink it.’ It would be easier if you let down your guard like that.
Well, no matter how funny we look in his eyes, a single variable in a situation without variables is scary to anyone.
However, real crises come from unexpected directions.
Mithra is immediately shocked. This is because she noticed that the syringe was empty.
The usefulness of my crippled right arm, which I had forced to lift, ended there.
One arm is enough to wrap around her backside and hold her in place.
I was sticking my chin out to keep my cheeks from puffing out from the contents of my mouth,
I covered Thena’s open mouth with her lips.
