Chapter 161 – 1. Talos, and the Spear and Shield (15)
“Delis!! Delis!!”
Nuri anxiously shouted the name of Delis and wandered here and there looking for Delis.
I looked up at the sky to see if Allen, Elza, and Liza had seen it, but the three kestrels flying in the sky didn’t show any reaction as if they hadn’t found anything yet.
“Delis!!”
Nuri, who had been shouting Delis’ name for a long time, hurriedly looked up at the sky at the beeping sound.
Elsa puts her finger in her mouth and stretches beep! Beep!! She whistled.
Noori, who hurriedly ran towards it, felt relieved at the sight of Delis staggering away from far away, and hurriedly ran towards Delis even more hurriedly.
“Delis! Are you okay?”
Noorie was relieved to see that there were no major injuries, but she felt something strange.
Some kind of uneasiness came to Noorie in the unusual appearance of Delis.
“Delis?”
“Huh…”
For some reason, Delis wasn’t as confident as usual.
The look of hesitation, hesitation, and anxiety was not a confident look with high pride in what he was doing, but a look that was not like Delis, as if he was not confident in himself.
“Delis… What the hell is going on…”
“No, nothing…”
It’s nothing, but seeing her look so uncharacteristic of Delis, Noori wanted to ask what had happened all the more, but for now, she shut her mouth.
It seems certain that something happened, but judging from the state of Delis, it seemed that he would not tell him now.
“Delis… Please tell me when you calm down.”
“…”
I just headed to the campsite enjoyed with the silent Delis.
In the sky, the three kestrels, seeing the end of the situation, were heading back to camp first.
* * *
Delis returned to her own tent in her daze.
Nothing has changed, yet everything has changed.
She said that what she loved was now she was no longer Norie and she came back for him, but she was still conscious of herself.
He knew that this love was a false feeling, and that the target he had to be truly loyal to was Lady Yuria.
However, even though it was a false emotion, the love that had grown into a big one told me to betray even that loyalty.
If he hadn’t known that this feeling did not come from a lie, he would have betrayed Lady YuRia right away without worrying about it.
The reason I still hesitated and hesitated was because I knew that this feeling was a false one.
She knew that this was not right, so she hadn’t completely gone over it yet, but in a situation that seemed to have already passed, Delis hesitated and hesitated, showing that she was unsure of anything, unlike her usual self.
Then I saw a baby in the room.
Originally, the baby, who would have been the most precious to him after Lady YuRia, was no longer precious.
She is someone else’s child, not the one she loves.
Own flaws.
Even so, she didn’t hate it because she was a child of her own blood, but she didn’t feel the affection anymore like before.
Reluctantly, the child burst into tears as he reached out to hold her in her arms to nurse him.
As if he knew instinctively that he had changed.
“It’s annoying…”
I know it shouldn’t be like this.
How much you love this child What a hard-earned child she is.
Even though the first relationship was a business relationship, and she was so cold at the sight of a married couple who were so good at drinking, she wanted a relationship that would fill her cold side. I searched for him and chose him.
Although the relationship started as a simple conditional love affair, the relationship developed deeply as they served the young lady together, and they began to really fall in love with each other.
However, the feelings he had so hard for had vanished in such vain, and Dellis felt so bitter about it.
What is the alternative emotion?
Emotions that are so easily and falsely manipulated are spirits precious.
Wouldn’t it be better to completely throw away emotions and judge and act rationally?
When she thought so, the happiness and pride she had felt so far began to feel futile.
Feeling annoyed by the crying baby in her arms, she forcibly pushed her breast. The baby, who had refused several times, eventually ended up in her mouth and started sucking. Frowned
Was it so painful and unpleasant to be sucked?
‘It’s annoying… ‘
Whatever she was, as she was the child she gave birth to, she had an obligation to raise her properly.
Delis, who had been nursing her child, enduring such pain and discomfort out of a sense of duty, had already let out a sigh.
How long will I have to put up with this?
So Dellis hesitated to move for the sake of the one she loved.
Her heart was already greatly inclined, but even so, she still hesitated because she knew that this heart was a lie.
In the meantime, she shuddered at the sight of Nuri entering the tent.
If it had been before, she would have been a little surprised.
If it were him, she wouldn’t mind seeing her own body, but now the story has changed.
She hurriedly covered her breasts, as it came to her with such great shame and humiliation that someone she did not love should see her body naked as her own.
“Delis?”
“Ah…”
Unable to do this or that with her awkward expression, Delis looked at Nuri with her body trembling.
Anyone in this situation would doubt themselves.
She and he were married.
A loving couple who made the crystallization of love so difficult.
Nouri reached out to her with a look of so much concern and affection, and Delis forced herself to suppress a feeling so terrible that she quietly accepted the repulsive touch she wanted to avoid at any moment.
He wanted to get rid of it right away.
Her touch, which would normally have been so warm, felt like a snake now.
Even though she knows that her own mind has been manipulated, what should she say about this feeling she feels right now.
The smal smal snake crawled.
You will stumble over and over.
Delis desperately endured the nauseous feeling in the touch that the serpent was passing through.

Quagga River -!!
The tip of Talos’ huge sword broke through the speed of sound and began to engulf the incandescent plasma with a roar.
It wasn’t as gigantic as when he first realized it, but through the aura surrounding the sword, the plasma caused by the speed of the sword that broke through the sound was naturally converged and sent away in the form of a slash.
However, this skill was only possible while riding on Talos.
It was not a matter of power consumption, but due to the length of Talos’ long sword, it was still too much to bet with the small sword that Loa was holding.
Loa, who was swinging her long sword like that, looked at the countless white-hot slashes that flashed in the distance… And sighed.
Even with a kukri much shorter than her own sword, let alone Talos, Yuria was casually displaying the skills she could barely achieve through Talos’ long reach.
Since it was Yuria who had created a sonic boom with only her bare hands and feet from the beginning, it would not have been difficult, but she was able to easily demonstrate the skills she could only use Talos with her limbs. Even with that short kukri.
And that too, with a series of quick hits.
Once again, he felt himself small in Yuria’s ability, but Roa swung his sword with full concentration and concentration.
Even if it was a little help, no matter what it was, as long as it could help Yuria, it didn’t matter.
As long as Yuria needs him, he will only support her.
So he swung his sword, swung it, and swung it again.
How much time has passed YuRia, who continued to swing her sword half unconsciously at the black ants in front of her eyes, slowly began to worry about Loa.
Loa had never been in such a long battle.
Compared to him, she was very used to such long fights, no matter how bad she herself was.
Rather, in the atmosphere of her battlefield, which had been forgotten for so long, I felt as if I had come to her hometown.
In particular, I never said that I missed her hometown.
There was only one thing she missed her hometown.
The level of civilization that I was used to as I got used to it.
Even if he wasn’t happy, as he had lived there for over 40 years, all of his standards had no choice but to be based on that time.
‘… It must have been boring to say it was boring, but I got these trivial thoughts
The plasma, white and incandescent along the blade, was slashed and flew away, creating a loud and stretching sonic boom.
YuRia, who was swinging her long kukri and blasting plasma, thought that she was more efficient than she thought.
Roa does it in a different way than she does, but it can’t be helped. Because her physical structure and base itself are completely different, and the ability based on them is different, she cannot use the exact same method.
In the distance, I saw a huge incandescent plasma flying with a roar following the sword wielded by the loa Talos.
Although she is slower than herself, because of her size, YuRia let out a smile as she watched the crimson ants being swept away by her blow.
It felt a bit funny that the Crimson Ant, which was called a disaster in this world, was being held back like this by just the two of them.
I grabbed and held it all night, and before I knew it, the surroundings were sliced by slashes several times, and the dismembered corpses of the Chimera Ents began to form a small hill. Like the sand dunes of the desert.
YuRia, stepping on the corpses of those ants and slaughtering the ants climbing up the mountain of ant corpses, constantly slapping and slaughtering them, suddenly thought that Talos’ movement had changed a little, and that it was Roa’s limit.
“I’m tired?”
“…”
Looking directly at Roa’s condition, Roa was already far away, and Tia was fidgeting and manipulating the small arm.
I see Tia is controlling this right now…
“Tia, let’s step back. Can you blow something big?”
“It’s a bit difficult for me alone, but with the help of my older brothers.”
“Okay. Then I’ll ask you guys.”
Inside the cockpit of Talos, Hosea and Joshua each placed one hand on the crystal ball of the control stick, thanks to the relocated cockpit, to assist Tia in steering.
Unlike Tia, who is almost like Yuria’s tribe, Hosea and Joshua are half of humanity here.
That meant that the two could handle Aurors too.
It took a while, probably because I was inexperienced compared to what Loa used to do, but the sword began to glow golden.
The brilliant golden light emitted by the light collapse of the surrounding materials exploded forward with a huge flash of light.
Bun-juk!!
Kurururrrr.
YuRia, who was watching the scene, haha… And scratched his cheek. It was draining quite a bit, but not enough to be a burden.
“This is better than a nuclear explosion.”
Certainly, compared to Roa, the power and range were weak.
In comparison, her power was consumed more severely than Roa’s, and after seeing the joint period of the three children, Yuria… And let out a sigh.
“Let’s step back. This should have bought enough time for Dad to take a deep breath.”
In addition, she can still fight more, but Yuria herself needs a little rest.
This battle was not just a fight, but a battle to delay the steps of the ants as much as possible.
I had to preserve my ability and stamina as much as possible.
“It’s not just today’s battle. It’s going to be a really long fight from now on.”
It felt like I could hear the children’s sighs from here.
I wonder if the children had a hard time with that one shot a while ago. Talos’ movements seemed somewhat weak.
In this way, the dawn began to shine over the land where the haze bloomed, and the day began to brighten.
Ha… Loa stupid.
She told me to spread the pace because she has to fight for as long as possible instead of fighting for a moment, but really.
But it must have been difficult for Loa, who had never fought for such a long time.
If you think about it that way, it was unavoidable.
And I had already predicted that this would happen.
As it was, YuRia turned around and moved her steps.
“Let’s go. Let’s go to a suitable place to settle down and deal with the ants that will come.”
Umm…
For some reason, Roa slowly came to her senses as she felt a cool breeze brush her nose.
Were you asleep? When?
Until the end of her life, what she remembered was holding onto her crystal ball and swinging and swinging and swinging Talos’ arms as if she had become her own body…
… What?
Roa, who realized that her memories had been cut off at some point, thought that she had fallen asleep without realizing it.
But what?
This feeling of cutting something soft…
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was two black hills that boasted two truly gigantic presences.
And beyond that, both eyes were quietly closed, and I could see a very beautiful face dozing with blue eyes under thin eyelids.
Realizing that it was YuRia’s hair that she felt was the wind at the feeling of light blue hair gently brushing the tip of her nose, Roa, who was worn out, felt soft and gently brushed Yuria’s hair to the side. Slowly climbed up
“Woke up?”
“Yes, thanks. How much time has passed now?”
Only then did Roa realize that she was sleeping with Yuria’s pillow on her lap, so Roa woke up.
When I looked to the side, I could see the children lying asleep under the warm sunlight after eating a snack for a long time on a seat on a wide grass field.
“Not really. A few hours have passed. You can rest a bit more as there is still some free time.”
Roa finally felt hunger and thirst for some reason, so she came to the place where her children lay down huddled together and opened a basket filled with snacks.
Roa, who didn’t really expect something like picnic food, but didn’t think that **Kang or seasoned beef jerky was in it, so she made a slightly confused expression.
“Bye, there’s nothing special. There’s no particular material or equipment.”
“That’s right…”
Roa, who was tearing off the jerky and chewing on **cans, looking around to see if there was anything to drink, accepted the bottle of wine that YuRia held out.
“Would you like to drink here?”
“It’s okay because the alcohol content is low. Most of all, you’ve increased your alcohol consumption more than before, right?”
In YuRia’s hand, she was holding clear vodka when she took it out.
“Hagi Knight”
Concentrate the aura lightly on her hand and pong! Roa pulled out the cork at once, and likewise opened the cork, and Yuria opened the bottle! And lightly knocked on the bottle.
The two of them blew the bottle together, thinking that they were drinking without any atmosphere, but a smile naturally came to their lips as they seemed to feel closer to each other in this informal appearance.
“Kuhh…”
“Kya!”
The two of them sighed while drinking each other’s favorite alcohol, and a bit of bitterness came over the black waves that they could see over there.
“It’s time to fight again.”
“I see… I wish the children could rest a little more, but it must be difficult.”
Roa and Yuria carefully shook their bodies to wake them up.
Tia was whining and Yuria sucked her breast and filled Tia’s belly to prepare her for the long fight ahead.
“Is everyone else on the evacuation route all right?”
“How is Yeji?”
YuRia took a deep breath and closed her eyes as she looked at her future.
And somehow, Yuria had a bad expression.
“Nothing could happen. Something could happen. But there’s something strange…”
“What the hell is going on?”
“…Loa. I think I have to go back. I will come back here again, but can you fight alone, Loa?”
Seeing Yuria’s unusual expression, Roa was worried.
“Did something bad happen to you guys?”
“It would be nice if it was just one of the possibilities, but something is out of the ordinary. And… You know that I can’t tell you these things, right?”
“…Huh”
Roa didn’t hold on to Yuria anymore.
Loa, who jumped on top of Talos, smiled sadly as she saw the three children settling into their respective seats.
“Come on, go. I’ll be buying my time properly without overdoing it like before.”
“Sorry Roa. I’ll be back soon”
Just as it was, Yuria was quickly shot towards her somewhere at a faster speed than when she had come before.
Kwak!! At the sound of the sonic boom, Loa scratched her cheek slightly and closed the cockpit of Talos, which was still wide open.
“Dad…”
“It’s okay. I’m sure it’ll be okay. Mom hasn’t done anything that could cause causation lately. And Uncle Cashwin and the others will definitely be safe because mom is gone.”
Okay. It will be alright
Because YuRia, not anyone else, went.
Therefore…
“Son, daughter. We’re going to hold on here. Until her mother comes home from work over there in peace, okay?”
The silky-colored sword stood upright and gleamed as it reflected the sunlight, and Hosea and Joshua began activating the functions of Talos in earnest.
As Tia connected Loa and Talos, and her Talo began to feel like her own body, Loa spurred her seat and stepped forward to her.
“There is no curfew here, you ants!!”
As the ink-colored sword was swung, hundreds of dozens of ants were cut into pieces and parts of their bodies flew up into the sky.
As its body collapsed to the floor helplessly as steam rose from the hot, ripe cross-section, the ants continued to advance on top of it, not caring about it.
Like a machine, Roa continued to wield the sword, and endlessly pondered and sought how to save more power and wield the sword more efficiently, instead of wielding it thoughtlessly like before.
At some point, even though the power of the sword was reduced, the power consumed was incomparably reduced and Roa swung the extension sword.
The previous sword and the next sword were little by little, but they were clearly getting better.
