Chapter 164 – 1. Talos, and the Spear and Shield (18)
“Yuria!! Yuria!!”
Yuria, who had been drooping down with a hole in her stomach, flashed at that moment and opened her eyes and turned it off with a very distressed expression. She drew in her breath as hard as it could with a grotesque sound.
Then she gasped for breath as her chest rose and fell like mad, but her pale complexion never thought to return.
Yuria, who was gasping for breath as if she was about to run out of breath with her eyes closed tightly and with a very painful expression, put her hand into her chest hole and seemed to be doing something of her own.
Seeing that something was so painful that Roa clenched her teeth and trembled, feeling helpless to do anything other than hug Yuria tightly and watched Yuria with clenched teeth.
“Keuk… Heuk! Heuh! Heh! Heh! Heh!”
What did she do She began to feel the heartbeat again in Yuria’s body.
Her elongated body wriggled and her Yuria’s complexion returned little by little, but her figure, which still seemed so painful and difficult, made her feel relieved and tore her loa’s heart apart.
I could feel it instinctively.
This is just her stopgap.
I didn’t know her method, but she could understand why she was forced to circulate her blood by transferring her heart’s work elsewhere.
Yuria, who had been gasping for breath so violently, was trying to say something with her mouth open while she was about to pass her breath.
“Don’t talk! Please focus on breathing!!”
“Huh! Heh! Heh! Heh!”
Yuria, who had been gasping for a while, continued to speak her words with difficulty nonetheless.
“Huh… Heh! Ehh… Hehhhhh… Freeze…”
“Freeze? Freeze? What?”
YuRia closed her eyes and stirred her whole body, using her entire body as if it were her heart instead of her heart, circulating her blood and breathing heavily, lifting her arms with difficulty and tapping. Taught yourself
“Yu, Yuria… You?”
Yuria, who was gasping for breath as she stretched her body, nodded her head with great difficulty and struggle.
Hosea and Joshua are running from far away while thinking about what Roa is like. And seeing Tia carried by Hosea, ah… Did
Roa hurriedly and carefully laid her body on the ground.
YuRia’s body throbbed instead of her elongated heart, and Yuria, who was breathing so hard and fast, looked at her mother with a very urgent expression!! I felt so much pain in my heart that had already disappeared when I saw the children running away shouting,
Her self and her sins were too many.
Ripping Roa’s heart wasn’t enough, so even those little kids…
“Hey guys!”
“Uh, Mom! Mom!! Mom!!”
“Uh, Mom… There’s a hole in Mom’s chest… A hole in Mom’s chest…”
I wanted to stroke the children’s heads right now, but I couldn’t do it.
She closed off her hastily cut off heart vessels and circulated her blood by repeatedly tightening and opening them in place of the muscles throughout her body, but this did not last long.
A detrimental act that costs more to circulate blood than to gain from circulating blood.
However, it was an indispensable act that could not be helped in order to breathe on this body right now.
Just like the act of making blood circulate around the body.
Her breaths and exhalations continued to force YuRia to exhaustion like running a marathon.
“This, this is not the time. Uh, I have to freeze my mother’s body!”
“Dad?”
“That’s what Mama said. Come on, before her mother’s body hurts further!”
Loa had recalled memories of her past.
The words that YuRia said in the past after she barely managed to thaw her frozen body when she couldn’t handle the power of her magic book.
If she freezes again, I’d rather not thaw it until the problem is fixed.
In other words, YuRia’s body was so sweet that even if her diarrhea froze, it didn’t do much damage.
There couldn’t be very little damage, but in the current state, it was almost the only way to stop getting worse.
Hosea and Joshua hesitated at Roa’s words for a while, but as if their clever minds had finished grasping the situation right away, they placed their hands on Yuria’s body and began to recite her spell.
At that, Yuria gasped madly and stopped her restless wriggling body, as if she was dead, and still her body stopped, and her body was angry and frosty and frozen.
“Hey… Mom…”
“Mom…”
Roa quietly hugged Yuria.
She felt the cold chill as if her flesh was freezing, but she didn’t care.
“Dad… Don’t do that. Mommy is sad.”
“Ah…”
Then, while wondering what to do, Hosea and Joshua ran to somewhere, telling them to wait for a while. I saw Talos approaching at a rapid pace.
“Get on Daddy”
“Even if we don’t borrow her mother’s help, we can make her walk and run normally.”
Talos, who knelt down on one knee in front of YuRia’s frozen body, quietly held out her hand, and Roa climbed onto it with YuRia.
Then, with a thump and a thump, Talos started walking at a brisk pace in the direction of the refugees.
YuRia’s frozen body.
When I was still young, I was frightened at seeing Yuria’s frozen body, but the feeling was so different from then and now.
At least there wasn’t a hole in her chest then, as it was empty like now.
Roa’s tears flowed down YuRia’s body, which had always warmly hugged her, exuding a cold air as if it were a lie.
“Yuria… It can be restored, right?”
The liver comes out in half. Even if almost all of her internal organs were crushed to the point where they couldn’t function, Yuria didn’t die.
In the past battle with the Ice Queen, she had not died even if she was crushed to such an extent that her body literally turned into minced meat.
Didn’t YuRia say that at that time, YuRia was in the same state as when she was about to die, and her breath would go on and on?
She was Yuria, who didn’t even die in that situation, even with her body completely crushed.
Therefore…
So, Roa firmly decided that YuRia would be able to live this time as well.
* * * * *
Thud… Thud…
This oddly shaped heart was still beating vigorously despite being pulled out of the body.
Of course, she kept it in a transparent bottle filled with nutrient solution so that it wouldn’t dry out, but her heartbeat didn’t weaken in the slightest, as if she were proud of her strong vitality.
“What a wonderful heart. How can it be so great?”
The energy contained in the heart was so great that it made me wonder if even the Dragon Heart should be outdone compared to this.
However, it was difficult to use easily because it was a power that felt different from Dragon Heart, but Lilith smirked and smiled.
All the dangerous blood has already been drained. Now, what dwells in that heart is not the woman’s dangerous blood, but only nutrient solution.
Lilith, who tore off her chest carapace as it was and pulled out her own beating heart with a thump thump from under it, instead of her own heart, took out her own heart, Yuria’s, from her chest and tucked into his own chest.
Surprisingly, Yuria’s heart connected to the torn blood vessel and began pumping Lilith’s blood with a thump.
And at the feeling of her blood running through her body like that, Lilith is proud! And curled her up.
“Uh, uh! Aaaaa!!”
It felt as if her whole body was about to explode.
Every time the blood of her whole body passed through her heart, it contained an indescribably huge force and was spreading enormous power to the white sea of limbs.
Lilith, who is the owner of her body, is also immersed in that mysterious and glorious feeling. Gremory, who was manipulating Lilith, didn’t even realize it.
Far from eroding Yuria’s heart, the demon’s blood, on the contrary, made Yuria’s heart beat wildly, and the more the demon’s blood passed through Yuria’s heart and the greater power melted into it, the more and more the demon’s blood was gradually being purified. As Lilith’s demonic blood was diluted, even her body was gradually being purified.
* * * * *
Chilled in the hands of Talos…
No, the count, who saw the coldly frozen body of Yuria, fell to his knees as it was.
Loa, who saw such an earl, shook his head quietly.
“No. Yuria is not dead yet.”
“I know. It’s still hard to admit…”
“No. The humanoid Crimson Ant also made it clear. If you want to save Yuria, you’d better listen to yourself. More than anything, the demon wanted to borrow Yuria’s womb, so I’m not going to let Yuria die like this.”
At Roa’s words, the count looked at the coldly frozen body of YuRia, or, as Roa said, YuRia who wasn’t dead yet.
“Can she really say that she is still alive in this state?”
“Yuria has recovered from a similar situation before. Even when she was frozen solid like now. Even when her intestines were crushed and burst. YuRia didn’t die… I still frozen her before she died, so I can somehow retrieve her heart or YuRia’s. If we find something that can replace the heart, we will surely be able to revive Yuria.”
The count looked down at Yuria again at those words.
It wasn’t just Roa.
Even the expressions on his grandchildren’s granddaughters said that their mother hadn’t died yet.
Maybe it’s because he just doesn’t want to admit his mother’s death. Or if it was really because YuRia didn’t die even in this state, the Count himself couldn’t figure out, but he wanted to believe that YuRia wasn’t dead either.
“But how long will she carry Yuria like this?”
“…”
“If you’re going to carry Yuria like this, I hope she at least makes a tool that can safely carry Yuria.”
At that, Loa groaned and looked at his children.
“Before that, I want you to prove once more that what you said is really right.”
“Proof…”
“Living creatures cannot be put into subspace.”
At those words, Roa flinched.
The Count’s words were that Yuria’s spirit wanted to put her body in the space.
“If YuRia is alive, I will do my best to help her. But if she’s not like that, give up. Then she won’t let that child also rest in her.”
At that, Loa looked hesitantly at her children.
“It’s okay. Her mother is definitely alive.”
Tia also nodded her head.
It is approved by God. She said Yuria is alive.
As a result, Loa lowered the stance of her Talos and lifted her Yuria’s body up to see her body inserted into the subspace gate that was inside it.
The coldness of YuRia’s frozen body was transmitted, but Roa, who raised her body without hesitation, tried to put her Yuria into the subspace as the Count said, but her YuRia’s body did not enter.
The Count had no choice but to admit that.
Despite her appearance, Yuria is still alive.
“What do you need?”
“I’m going to make a coffin. A coffin with soft cushions on the inside to keep her mother’s body steady and the inside to keep the magic that keeps her mother’s body frozen.”
At that, the Count quietly nodded his head.
The Count, who took out a ledger on the items in the subspace warehouse and looked at the items, found that there was a top-notch coffin made for children and ordered to take it.
As it was, the coffin was reinforced with various materials, filled with magic circles, and then covered with cushions.
Looking at the cushions packed tightly enough to hold Yuria’s body firmly so that it would not be shaken and not subject to even the slightest shock, Roa, who saw the inside of the coffin that slowly began to fill with cold air, looked down at Yuria’s cold body for a moment, as if freezing her own body. He quietly laid Yuria in the coffin.
When the coffin lid was closed and the lock was firmly fastened, the children pointed to the small stand behind Talos’s back as to when the remodeling was done.
As it was, with the help of people around her, YuRia’s coffin was placed on the cradle behind Talos’ back, and Roa, who fixed it firmly, looked up at the coffin for a while with a bitter expression, and then got on Talos.
“What are you going to do now?”
“I don’t know. But if I’m here, the devil will definitely come here. I shouldn’t stay here too long, just in case.”
At Roa’s words, the Count was silent.
“Please run away as quickly as possible. The time YuRia and I earned is less than a day.”
“I get it…”
“Please, please take care of the rest of my party.”
The cockpit of Talos was closed, and the Count looked at Loa bitterly as he saw Talos, who had become a completely black giant.
Seeing the ink-colored giant riding Roa’s family, the count quietly sent them off.
Now was the time to really hurry to evacuate.
Time to eat. While saving time to sleep, in the face of the fate of not being able to survive unless Talos disappeared in Shia, the Count hurriedly encouraged the refugees by turning around before Talos disappeared.
“We’re leaving! Hurry up and pack up! Hurry up. The Crimson Ant is getting closer. Hurry up!!”
* * *
The dark-colored Talos was walking along the forest road at high speed, making a heavy sound.
If Yuria’s heart could not be retrieved right away, she had to find something to replace her heart, even temporarily, and even if it wasn’t for that, YuRia’s own recovery medicine was needed to fix Yuria’s severely ill body.
So, Roa headed for his home village for the first time in a while.
Cedar tree and hibis flowers.
Only Yuria knew how to make it into medicine, but Roa still believed that Tia would know how to make Yuria’s medicine.
Roa, who headed for the cedar forest for the first time with Tia, let out a sigh of relief as she remembered Delis who was breastfeeding Tia over there.
If Delis and Nuri had not followed, it would have been a big problem.
“Roa, but can I use the subspace warehouse like this?”
“It’s okay. This isn’t the warehouse on the Count’s side, it’s connected to the warehouse at my house.”
In fact, there were three subspace warehouses.
One is the warehouse of a hometown house that is scheduled to be scrapped or relocated someday.
The other is the count family’s warehouse.
The last one is a warehouse in the empire that is being used by the top euro.
Apparently, Tia’s approval and the approval for the Crimson Ant crisis were conditional on being requisitioned for military use.
“Once you’ve made the drug, what do you do now?”
“Even if it’s not at least a dragon heart, I’ll have to find a heart that’s comparable to it. Not only that, but I wonder if it’s suitable for Yuria…”
In fact, in this situation, the only thing Roa could trust was Tia.
It’s just a vague belief that it’s possible because it’s God.
After a while, Delis, who nursed Tia and Delis’ baby, quietly returned to Talos.
Soon after Delis returned to his seat, Nuri and Delis sat on top of Yuria’s coffin, and Talos moved on again.
It was not a run, but a quick pace, but with a speed close to that of most horses galloping lightly, Talos made his way through the forest.
Looking at the village where no one lives now, Roa felt bitter.
If one day the crimson ant avalanche is over, will people be able to live here again?
However, it seemed difficult to live in this village any longer.
There are many memories, but there were also many painful memories.
Yuria had to go through shame and humiliation while being unfairly tried as a witch, and she had to undergo painful torture.
In front of countless people, she had to be molested with her small body and forced to be defiled by the grandson of the village headman.
Compared to what happened to her later, the events of this day were not so severe, but she could never forget her wounds here.
Because they were the first dirty stains painted on the clean Yuria.
After that, Yuria, who was so wounded, dirty, and suffering, and barely tried to be happy, now she had her heart pulled out like this, and she was frozen before she died, so her death was postponed.
That’s why Roa was willing to do anything to save her Yuria.
Unless that’s something Yuria would hate.
All of a sudden, the memory of her holding onto Yuria before she became like this was the memory of her holding another woman, not Yuria, which continued to torment her Loa’s heart.
YuRia’s expression still couldn’t be forgotten in her mind.
What she couldn’t figure out why she did it was something she could guess from Dellis’ words.
She’s a demonic contractor who uses that bizarre ability.
Maybe that’s what she did.
She has that red-haired humanoid, Crimson Ant, whom she loves the most.
She must have been made to look like Yuria.
“Is it an illusion that the movements of the demons, which were difficult to see before, have become active?”
“I don’t know. Maybe the demons who lost their powers are slowly regaining their powers.”
“…”
If you think about it, it was.
If you think about the pages of the magic book that Crea spread here and there, they were getting contaminated as if they were trying to wake up the devil.
Although it has been revealed that it is related to the evil spirit, considering that the evil spirit is also a god related to the devil, it is not strange that the devil’s movements are getting more and more active.
Although, through a trap that her own daughter, Tia, arranged in advance in the distant past, her power was used against her and she was sealed by her own power, so that she could not escape again. Had been released
The demons related to the Mischief must have been affected by it as well.
What the hell are they after?
If you use YuRia, will you be able to break the seal on the chest?
While immersed in these and other thoughts, Roa arrived at the cedar tree forest made by YuRia and soon opened the cockpit with her Talos standing on the floor with one knee bent.
It was a forest of cedar trees she had never seen before, but Tia wasn’t too surprised to see a forest of cedar trees.
Surprisingly, the medicine for Yuria was solved very quickly.
The fruits of the cedar tree and the flowers of the hibis gathered as Tia waved back and forth.
In an instant, she concentrated only the essence of the medicinal effect, and the extracted liquid was placed in the bottle that had held her elixir and sealed tightly, just in case.
And even if it wasn’t the essence of her medicinal effect, there was still considerable efficacy in the residue, so Tia, who refined them and manufactured a large amount of pills, sighed.
It seemed that this was not an ordinary thing, even for Tia.
“Come on, let’s go. Before the devil notices this place.”
It seems that Tia was tired not because this job was difficult, but rather because she did her best to reduce the time she stayed here as much as possible.
Loa immediately boarded Talos so that Tia’s efforts would not be in vain, and hurried down the dark night with Delis and Nuri on her back.
Wild beast? Monster?
No matter how weak Talos was, Talos was still Talos.
Talos made from the mandibles of Crimson Ant, which can even chew down dragon scales.
Even if a few monsters or wild beasts attacked, there was no way that there would be a problem.
Above all, how many monsters or wild beasts are there now that the Crimson Ants are approaching and all have fled?
So, Roa went down the night road without any worries.
“Taya, what should I do now?”
“Sorry, but I can’t talk. Fortunately, I was able to make my mother’s medicine because it was within the permissible range, but as a rookie, there are more restrictions on this earth than I thought.”
At that, Roa couldn’t ask Tia any more.
Meanwhile, Roa suddenly remembered a card Yuria made in the past.
“Tia. Does this card only take effect when YuRia uses it?”
“No. It doesn’t matter who plays it on a card that is triggered by her mother’s ability. Of course, you don’t have to worry because using that card doesn’t drain your mother’s power.”
In response, Loa took out a card from the subspace storage.
Where should I go to find Yuria’s heart, or something that can replace Yuria’s heart?
As the loa read the cards, the cards pointed north.
It was supposed to be the Sorby Empire, but it was said to be more north than that.
Galton? Pass? Tian? Uke?
One? Heim? Tia? Idian? Revan?
Compared to anything else, the card pointed further north.
“A small continent?”
Finally, the card has confirmed that it is there.
“…”
“Why do you have to…”
Rather, it was the Northwest Continent, so I chose the small continent first, but unfortunately, the card said it was a small continent.
A small continent teeming with all kinds of venomous snakes and poisonous insects, and more ‘dangerous’ creatures than strong ones.
However, it did not mean that the monsters and creatures there were weak.
“I don’t know about Nuri, but will Delis be okay? Above all, it’s a very bad place to take a baby.”
“I have to go. If it’s not me, who else will breastfeed Lady Tia in that dangerous place?”
Roa couldn’t refuse him anymore.
Despite knowing that it was a very dangerous place for Delis, as Delis said, there was no nanny who would go to that dangerous place except Delis.
