Chapter 232 – 8. The Fall of Daedalus (2)
A longing made of bronze.
However, the divine mirror imbued with the power of God transcended the material limit and reflected a very clear and vivid image.
Even though they were going while erasing their traces, the opponent was slowly pursuing them.
And that speed was getting faster and faster, and the distance that had been widening little by little was getting closer and closer again.
A giant golden fox full of rage and a mature wizard full of guilt.
The two of them have been mobilizing Eastern and Western methods, finding traces with a different meaning in the traces that have finally disappeared and following those traces.
“Erasing the traces will be meaningless now.”
“Chit…”
The contractor of Purpur couldn’t see anything in the bronze mirror called the heavenly view, but the princess who saw something in it said that it was pointless to erase the traces.
If he thought of the princess trying to come to him now, he wouldn’t say anything that would harm him.
“I can’t help it. Throw away the carriage. You hold on to that kestrel and ride the horse.”
“Yes?”
“Stop talking and come on!”
Quick! They broke the wooden cage and took out the kestrel from the cage. The wolf-man and the goat-man each carried the baby kestrel, and the tow-bearer put the mother kestrel on top of the horse and tied it tightly to the body of the horse.
“And among those beastmen, the biggest tiger beastman picked up the contractor, and soon everyone started running quickly without even thinking about erasing their traces.
* * * * *
Tamamo and Cashwin, who were chasing after a group of demonic contractors, faced an embarrassing situation.
It was none other than the one that had reached the border of the empire.
Unlike Uke, where magic and heterogeneity were allowed, the Empire was completely beta to all beings except for humans without special abilities.
No matter how friendly the tiara was to them, they were very adamant about this part, as if it had something to do with their divinity.
After getting off Tamamo’s back, Cashwyn thought about what to do. Then she took out the mana-sealing bracelet from her arms and put it on her arm. Tamamo was very ordinary. However, she was transformed into a fox with a single tail, only the color of her fur was golden.
In addition, she was very humiliated, she even wore a dog collar, which meant that she had an owner, and gnashed her teeth at Cashew Winn, but even Cashew Winn couldn’t help it.
“Not leaving”
“You bastard, someday you will have to repay this light.”
I’m afraid of the future, but for now, Allen, Elza, and Lisa came first.
Wearing the mana-sealing bracelet was because she remembered the hardships that Yuria had suffered because she had reflexively used magic before.
To a wizard, magic is like hands and feet. It was like something unconscious.
Of course, now, the empire is gradually accepting magic and expanding the range of permitted magic in addition to humans, but Tia, who is examining it, is very busy, and among the magic that will come out unconsciously, called Cashwin, only magic permitted by the empire will come out. Was the method chosen because there was no
It was taken off only when permitted magic was used, and sealed again when not used.
Tamamo also did this for a similar reason.
It was in order to suppress the ability to use unconsciously, even if it was only one chance, by suppressing her own power and authority as much as possible.
In the empire. And not only to avoid the sanctions that Tia will inflict on you, but also to reduce the time that would be wasted.
“It’s annoying. All of a sudden, the guys he brings are already half-man, half-beasts who have been tacitly granted their existence by Tia since the days of that damned elf.”
I don’t know how Crea had such a strange ability, but Crea was definitely an elf more pure than a high elf in her own race, but also an infinitely pure human.
For some reason, Crea’s child perfectly followed the mother’s species, but was still human.
He meant that he was born of two races, not a half race.
That’s why they were allowed to exist in the Empire under Tia’s silence.
And the permission has not yet been obtained.
No, to be honest, it is correct to separate Tia and Thebenoa to some extent, but…
Cashwin sighed as she looked at the border stones drawn in front of her eyes, and diligently followed Tamamo, who was moving forward first.
Like that, Tamamo and Cashwin go first, followed by Roa and Er, who are caring for Yuria, chasing after them on Talos.
YuRia’s face turned white and shed cold sweat little by little, but she eventually went to her own seat in her Talos and sat down.
“Yuria… Are you okay?”
“…”
YuRia exhaled her haha, and her hand gripped her control stick, and her hand went white.
“It’s too late. Based on the wisdom the princess had before joining them, if we deduce that, if this happens, Allen and the children will end up in a terrible situation. If it’s too late there, we might cross the line of no return at all.”
Allen was one of the test subjects created to mass-produce a very strong air force.
Long, high, fast.
A project that started to create a being that is nimble, strong, strong and agile even on the ground.
This is not accurate data, but one of Allen’s existence and traces of his body.
And although most of it was lost, it was deduced information based on Allen’s memories that remained.
Allen was a failure and was seriously injured in the fall, but fortunately her body survived without too much damage thanks to her wings as a shield.
Instead, those who experimented with Allen finished the treatment by pulling out her wings rather than treating Allen properly, and somehow, the laboratory was closed and Allen, who accidentally escaped, became free and reached now.
But if.
What kind of reaction would they show if they saw the successful work they wanted flying in the sky?
‘They are not themselves, but those related to them still remain. It’s no secret that Allen and her children fly through the skies. It must have reached their ears.”
No, it must have been a kidnapping because he entered.
That’s why they will thoroughly investigate every hair of Allen and her children in order to properly succeed this time.
Literally everything from her toes to the tips of her hair without missing a single detail.
Just in case, at least one of Elsa and Liza might risk their lives to give birth to a child, but Allen’s child was not the only one.
Yui means that even if one of them disappears, there is another one that can replace it.
It was obvious that their experiments would be overkill for Allen, now a little older, and about one of her two children.
Of course, the more subjects there are, the better, so they won’t cross that line too quickly, but it’s unknown how long their patience will last.
The best thing is to save Allen and her children before they are handed over.
In fact, the best thing to do was to save them before the experiment they were about to suffer had irreversible aftereffects.
“Kuk!”
However, he was too shy to endure the pain of his broken heart.
I don’t know if it’s almost automatically drawing my power from Talos, but right now it’s hard to concentrate enough to use my superpower properly.
Talos, it doesn’t matter much if he sits here, as he draws half of his power at will, but in reality he was out of power for a while.
Even the slightest movement of the messy heart made it painful, and just being still made me short of breath, and my heart felt as if it had been stabbed with numerous needles.
Being sick is also painful, but this kind of pain keeps reminding me of the painful days of childhood experiments and remodeling surgeries, making it even more difficult.
A needle poking through the heart. Not as much as now, but all kinds of drugs that were injected directly into the heart and made one’s heart hurt so much…
YuRia struggled to get those thoughts out of her head as she recalled the days when she was helplessly incapable of doing anything and suffered from pain as painful as office management to the point that she just wished for death.
Don’t think
Even this will put a strain on your heart…
Yuria quietly looked behind her.
The fact that she made her loa worry when she saw the gaze of Loa who was looking at her worriedly made her feel more pain in her heart in a different way, but fortunately this pain overlapped with the pain in her heart. It wasn’t, so I couldn’t help but struggle with her.
“It’s over there.”
Intention is not just conveying the sound of words in your head, but the ability to literally convey your will and will to the other person.
So, with her mind alone, the loa knew which direction I was pointing, and she drove her Talos in that direction.
While continuing to receive divine treatment from Er, who sat on top of Talos’s hand, which was raised near the wide open cockpit, Yuria looked in the direction where she could feel Tamamo’s presence in the distance.
“Yuria unnie’s alternative vitality is how strong she is, so even if she fills it up like this, she still lacks it?”
“Eww…”
While trying to answer her, Yuria quietly conveyed her intentions to Er as her mouth barely leaked out except for her moans.
“It’s probably because that’s not the only problem.”
Should I say the price of existence? Her own heart was in a state where the power of existence itself was quite distant.
It still deserves to be called her own heart, but its status has fallen considerably to the point that it is no longer her own heart.
This was the pain of her physical body, but also the pain of her spiritual body.
So, of course, it would be difficult to heal even with divine magic.
Still. Even though she was taken away by the devil, she felt grateful that she got it back safely.
Inside Talos, who ran away with a thump, thump, YuRia clutched her aching heart and fell asleep from exhaustion.
When Yuria came back to her senses, she was by the campfire, covered with a blanket with Roa, in Roa’s arms, and her sky was silent.
YuRia, who was staring blankly at the crackling flames, burrowed into Roa’s arms more and closed her eyes again.
“Are you awake?”
“…Ah”
Feeling a little sorry that Roa woke up because of her move, Yuria opened her eyes again.
“Are you a little better now?”
“Yes”
It still hurts.
Still, she didn’t feel like her heart would burst if she overdid it any longer.
“How long have I been sleeping?”
She didn’t sleep like she was dead to the point where she couldn’t feel anything like before, so she was at least aware that she was sleeping, but even so, she was sleeping quite deeply, so Yuria asked Roa.
“About two days or a day and a half? I don’t know exactly. When I asked for Tamamo’s direction, she pointed with her hand, so I didn’t know if she was sleeping, but at some point I saw that she was sleeping.”
“That’s right?”
“Last night, they even fed me stew while I was sleeping, so I ate well on my own.”
I felt like I was going to cough and clear my throat, but now I managed to pass it over in a calm manner.
Because if I still cough or something, my heart would hurt from that momentary pressure difference.
To be exact, I’m just barely holding on even now.
However, it has only recovered to the point where I can bear it now.
It’s hard, but it’s not so painful that I can’t use my abilities anymore, so I tried my best to concentrate my mind on my prediction.
It’s all things that will be blocked by the sky and the heavenly sword anyway, but it’s not that there’s no way around it.
It is a similar method, just as they traced and followed the traces that they erased on the African continent before.
The princess’ skills weren’t that great.
Therefore, the method of erasing the traces is not sophisticated, and it is possible to trace back to some extent in the messy erased traces about what they will become.
Of course, many things are unknown.
However, it is possible to deduce to some extent what they are so desperately trying not to show.
I tried to predict like that, but in the end, I didn’t get any income.
She wasn’t disappointed because she had thought that it would work or not, from the beginning, but YuRia closed her eyes again with a bit of regret.
“Good night…”
“Yeah. YuRia should get well soon too.”
In Roa’s arms, even in the midst of so much pain, YuRia put a faint smile on her lips and fell asleep again quietly.
Next day. Finally reaching the border of the Empire, Roa, Er, and Yuria sent Talos back.
“Is it okay to go to the Empire of Er?”
“It’s temporary, but it’s the same as taking on the temporary apostleship of Thebenoa, so there’s no problem.”
Riding on Roa’s back, Yuria quietly answered Roa’s question.
“Well, Tia will do something for you.”
“Still, don’t use magic. Flight assist magic is permitted, but the rest are not. Transform weapons into whips or bows in advance. Transformation is not allowed in the empire.”
“I’ll just leave it as it is. It’s also used to support divine abilities.”
At Tia’s words, Yuria nodded her head.
It was definitely Er who was taking care of him right now.
If it wasn’t for Er, she would have needed a longer time to recover to this point.
That’s how Yuria went over to the empire.
Although they were a little nervous, Roa, who was running fast across the empire, and Er, who was running halfway like flying, felt somewhat relaxed in a situation that was no different from before.
But on the other hand, I also felt bitter.
A forest that is so quiet that there is no sign of anything.
“The ecosystem has completely collapsed.”
“Wouldn’t the beasts come back someday?”
“Well…”
It’s still winter, so I’m not sure, but since it’s spring and summer has passed, what’s going to happen now has been the key in many ways.
They are importing and restoring various things from one kingdom, but what about this place?
Will the scars of war gradually rise from a place where the scars of war cannot reach?
This place is still close to the southern part of the continent, so there might not be a problem.
But what about the North?
“…”
Beast of the field, how many years will it take to get there? Wouldn’t the ecosystem be completely over by then?
That’s how Yuria felt complicated.
What will the West Continent be like?
If a hundred or a thousand years pass and the world changes, it will return to normal someday.
However, the flow once broken like this would leave scars for a very long time.
In this situation, if a huge country, the size of a kingdom in the south, is greatly shaken or collapsed, the situation in the western continent will be caught up in an uncontrollable war.
If that happens, there will be no safe place anywhere on the western continent.
If I had to make an exception, it would be an island country like New or Ine.
YuRia, thinking for a while about whether she should move her base to Newre, which is already owned by Tamamo, shook her head.
Won’t give up
I can’t be responsible for everything, and I can’t solve it, but I should try.
And above all. If Crimson Ant had been in a frenzy and stopped it once before, it would have been a similar situation then.
However, the recovery of the ecosystem must mean that someone took a hand.
And maybe dragons.
Yuria glanced at Er, who was following Roa.
“Er… Haven’t the dragons shown any movement?”
Er huh? And tilted her head for a moment.
“Well, I’m busy like this. I’m doing a behind-the-scenes look at Crimson Ant.”
At Er’s words, Yuria felt relieved, wondering if it was just me.
If so, she would only have to balance herself where she is now.
Above all, the ecosystem of Gashdo Island has been almost preserved, so it will spread to the surroundings within it. Rather, since most of the monsters are gone, life might have been better.
Anyway.
In the end, in order to maintain this precarious balance, the princess had to be found.
A few days later Yuria joined Tamamo and Cashwin who were leading the way.
Cashwynn was pierced in the chest by those blue eyes staring at her as she sat behind her on her loa’s back.
Dump!!
As it was, Cashwyn knelt down in front of YuRia’s eyes and lay flat on the dirt floor without saying a word.
YuRia, who looked down at Cashew Winn with cold eyes, soon closed her eyes and was silent for a long time.
Uncle Cashwyn was obviously a very precious person, but she felt that if YuRia could not forgive her uncle, she would find it difficult to see her uncle any longer.
It was painful, but now Yuria had priority and came first.
The relationship as a married couple was firmly established because Yuria and she were no longer separate beings.
“Wake up…”
“…”
“It’s Roa you should apologize for, not me.”
At those words, Cashwin flinched.
“You resisted enough to resist. I was the one who allowed my body to die because I couldn’t see you die. So you don’t have to apologize to me.”
“…”
At Yuria’s words, Roa glanced at her.
“Yuria…”
“…Sorry”
Even Roa, who prided herself on knowing enough about Yuria, couldn’t understand exactly what Yuria’s apology meant.
However, Roa, who followed YuRia’s apology and also received Uncle Cashwyn’s apology, felt that her head was getting complicated for some reason.
“I’m going to postpone this for a bit. Save Allen. Until YuRia gets better.”
“Yeah I know…”
YuRia also quietly nodded her head and agreed with Roa.
“First off, I have some bad news.”
Cashewyn spoke her words and Tamamo, in her foxy form, thumped her head with her paws as if in pain.
“Anyway, those guys seem to be headed for Ent-in.”
“What, what!?”
Where they live, who are not savages, but savages.
A place that is more dangerous and more troublesome than any semantic Effy kingdom.
“So, then, do I have to enter Ent-in?”
“…”
Er’s face turned white and he expressed disapproval.
He couldn’t imagine what would happen if he entered a place full of madmen who were crazy about that race.
As of right now, he is the only half-elf and half-dragon in the world.
Obviously, the uproar is not a normal uproar…
“Er… I think you’d better fall for Gache here.”
“…”
He seems to be asking how he wants to leave without himself, but on the other hand, he thinks that it is fortunate that he did not fall in, and Err’s thoughts and mind are so complicated in many ways.
Should he leave the company alone like this?
Still, should she take more care of her sister?
“Er… You’re still young. If you go down this road together, you’ll know very well what will happen to you.”
“…”
“I’m grateful enough for the help I’ve helped so far. Later, after we save Allen, Elza, and Liza…”
Er took a step forward.
“Then I will go with you.”
“Er…”
“You don’t know how hurt Allen, Elza, and Liza must be… Who cares for me when I’m not there?”
“…”
In the end, in the midst of complicated feelings in many ways. Er was also determined to stay with him until the end.
“The best thing would be to catch it before it enters the Entente.”
“It looks a bit difficult, but.”
“…”
Whatever it is, I will definitely save it. Everyone gathered their hearts again.
Princess too. Allen too. Elsa and Lizado.
All of them
