Chapter 686 – The Day God Came ─ the Princess Wakes Up in the Ruins and Has a Meeting.
“Where on earth is this…?”
The princess looks around with a blank expression.
The ancient city of demons, with its sparkling light spewing out in a chaotic manner, was in complete ruins. Of course, the princess does not know what the scenery of this city originally looked like. I really didn’t know anything, but I knew one thing.
‘What on earth has happened…?’
She was a princess who was so embarrassed and couldn’t figure out what had happened, but she knew one thing: the world had been ruined.
The pitch-black road was full of cars that were no longer moving and were left abandoned, and there was a huge amount of trash that people clearly threw away. The huge buildings that reminded me of matchboxes were all spectacularly destroyed.
“My, I… What have I done…?”
The princess looks down at her hands as she looks at the shattered goddess statue in front of her. Luckily she wasn’t covered in bright red blood.
‘Ugh… All, fortunately… Ugh! It looks like he’s not the horrible, dirty mess I imagined.’
After confirming that the platinum-colored dress she was wearing was surprisingly fine, the princess caressed her crotch with her palm with her anxious eyes.
It didn’t feel wet or uncomfortable at all. It was proof that he was not wandering around unknown places while immersed in the hypnosis imposed by the old god, Fragg, and spewing out semen like a monster.
“Uhm…”
The princess, having figured out the state of her body up to that point, turns her body around.
No matter where you look, you only see gorgeously destroyed buildings. Looking at the endless line of cars, the princess touches the pocket watch hanging around her neck.
‘Magic power…?’
The princess touched the pocket watch with her fingers for a while and opened her mouth wide.
“Well, not even a single magical power was charged…?!”
I don’t know how long she had been wandering around here, lost, but the pocket watch really didn’t have any magical power.
If there was a situation where you had to charge the magic power from 0 to 100, the magic power of the pocket watch was still 0. She was a princess who could handle magic tools skillfully, so she was never mistaken.
‘Until now, there has never been a time when a pocket watch failed to charge like this. How on earth did this happen?
In this situation, it is impossible to return to the present where Ceres is. The princess swallowed her saliva, held on tightly to her pocket watch, and exhaled to regain her composure.
─Jeokbeok Jeobeok
The princess naturally turns her head at the sound of footsteps coming from behind her.
‘It’s really fortunate that I can hear people’s footsteps. Ask in detail what happened…’
The princess turned her head and could see a person moving her body with great difficulty. She had golden tears flowing out of the being’s eyes.
“Well, you really… Isn’t it difficult to have water pouring out of your eyes like that?”
“Uh, uhh… Uh, uhh…”
“Can you tell me what happened here and why I am here…”
Before the princess could finish her words, the person who was dragging the golden water suddenly stretched out her hands and rushed towards her at high speed. As soon as the princess saw it, she quickly turned her body and dodged her attack. It only happened in an instant, but the person who fell face down on the ground got up again, golden water dripping from his mouth like a dog that had been starved for several days.
“Ugh…!? Wow, it looks like it’s moving! It looks like a corpse being controlled by necromancy…”
When the being with golden water flowing from its eyes rushed towards her once again, the princess kicked him in the chest without the slightest hesitation.
“Goooook…”
After letting out a painful sigh, the guy stopped moving.
“Haaa… Haa, w-how did this happen? He doesn’t look like a drunk guy…?”
A very small sound came to the princess’s ears as she gasped.
─Buk… Buk… Buk… Buk…
The sound of tiny, tiny footsteps was not one. It could be said that she had formed an army. The sounds were so numerous that they grew louder and louder without any rhythm.
Because of the thick fog surrounding her, the princess could not tell exactly how far away and what beings were walking here.
“… Aunt Amilias’ ring…”
If a mountain of guys like before appeared, the princess tried to take out a useful greatsword in such a wide area, but no matter how hard she tried her ring, she couldn’t get it out.
“Is this broken too? Or… Is there some reason it doesn’t work?”
The princess, who only knows how to use magic tools but has never made them, looks at her surroundings again with sweat pouring down her forehead. Her fog is thick. The sounds of her small footsteps were getting louder little by little.
“… Wait!”
The princess turns her head at the faint sound of footsteps and the sound of a person’s voice, which has a completely different feel.
“Who, who!! Please! Please help me! Please…! Please save me!!!”
It was a woman’s voice. It wasn’t just a woman. It was the voice of a very small and delicate ‘girl’. I could feel the desperation for her help.
The princess turned her body. She heard the voice of a healthy, living person. In addition, there was a high possibility that the young child would tell what she saw differently than the adult.
“It will work out somehow…!”
The princess, biting her lips tightly, quickly runs in the direction from which she heard the sound. There were ‘people’ who spewed out golden water as if it were natural for her to have a thick fog inside her.
“Kkkk!”
They looked at the princess and rushed at her. Her chrome-plated body possessed tremendous strength. Blue sparks from her elbows! There were some people who threw punches while spouting out.
“Huh…! Hah! They are irrational and have no sharpness…!”
They were monsters with strength that couldn’t be created from a human body, but the princess didn’t hesitate at all and went forward, kicking them with her feet and hitting them on the head with her fist.
Sometimes, instead of having ‘hands’, there were monsters that appeared with incredibly sharp swords attached to their wrists, or monsters with completely ‘reformed’ bodies that rushed towards them while emitting red flames from the tips of their elbows, but the princess had no hesitation.〈 Br〉
“Ugh! They’re more annoying than the ghouls controlled by the necromancer… Ugh?!”
─Ta-da-da-dang!
The monster, who was wearing a ‘gun’ on her arm instead of her hand, rushed towards the princess with her hand outstretched to the unreasonable subject. Just like that, bullets spewed out at incredible speed from the muzzle of the gun instead of the hand.
“The target has been lost. I will scan again.”
“The target has been found again. Loss of target…”
“Si, try to stop making loud noises…!”
The princess turned her body and kicked away, slowly defeating the monsters that were charging at her, and entered the huge building where cries for help were heard.
“Oh, it will work out somehow!”
The princess managed to enter through the narrow entrance, grabbed the large ‘statue’ near her, and threw it down with all her might.
Coo! The statue was so huge, so large and heavy that the ground cracked.
“This is… Eve…?”
The princess was momentarily embarrassed because the model of her statue was Eve Terra, but now was not the time to admire the well-made statue.
“As expected, how many were in the building…”
The tongue-in-cheek princess simply defeats the black-suited monsters that come down her narrow stairs with a swing of her fists and legs.
“Thank you. Have a nice day!」
“Thank you for visiting Terra Corporation!”
「How can I help you, customer?」
“This, this… The mouth doesn’t move, but the eyes are flashing, and the sound is coming out. It’s scary, it’s a little weird…”
The princess, hearing the incessant noise of her head rolling around on the ground, clicked her tongue and climbed up her stairs.
“Hmm…!”
Boom! The princess neatly smashed the monsters clinging to her door and lightly shook them off with her hands. Her hands and legs were covered in blood, she was a princess, but her situation was resolved.
'Seeing that they were stuck to this door…'
The princess swallowed her saliva and, without thinking for long, knocked, knocked, knocked.
“Is there anyone there? Is the girl in here who was screaming for help?”
“… Who, who are you?”
“Even if I ask who it is… Will you be able to understand if I answer?”
There was no reply to the princess’s words from beyond her door.
“Hmm! I came here because you screamed for help.”
“Bar, bar, there are monsters outside…?”
“If it’s that monster, the princess successfully killed it, so don’t worry.”
“You, you, liar…!”
The girl who yelled at her didn’t open the door either.
“I am a being who has the power to open this door that you do not want to open. I came here to save you. Open the door.”
“The monsters are, uh, incredibly scary… Terrifying…”
“I’ve taken care of everything, so don’t worry. Well… If you don’t open the door by the count of five, I’ll open it and go in.”
The princess exhaled her breath after making such a declaration of her own accord.
“Five… Four…”
“W-W-W-I’ll open it for you, sister!”
An urgent voice and a rattling sound can be heard from beyond the door for a long time. The princess waited without saying a word until the sound ended, and when the door opened with a loud noise, she made eye contact with the girl whose face was not even touching her chest. Br〉
“Wow, you’re a completely young child…?”
“Uh, uh, sister! Hey, come in quickly! Monsters are going to appear again!”
“I’ve taken care of everything, don’t worry.”
The princess smiles and enters her room. There was a huge amount of ‘garbage’ in front of the door.
'Hoo, did you somehow prepare to prevent the door from opening with this trash…?'
The princess looks around her room while thinking about such things. The room itself was surprisingly a bit large. She had an appearance that could be called ‘home’.
“Uh, sister… Sister. Please help me.”
“If you say that, I can’t help it. I need some help…”
Before the princess could finish her sentence, the girl held her hand tightly, and suddenly she was being taken somewhere.
As she headed there, the princess felt a ‘fishy smell’ assail her nose and frowned. Her anxiety was natural, and her sighs came out the moment the girl’s hand, which was holding her own, fell.
“Uh, sister… Sister! Huh, princess sister? Uh, please help us, mom.”
“This is…”
There was a woman where the young girl guided. She was a beautiful woman, but it was not the time for the princess to see such things.
In her body, bright red blood flowed from her abdomen…
‘This, this! Isn’t it at the level where blood is flowing out?! Didn’t all the contents of the stomach come out?!
Even though she can use healing magic, she can still be saved. Since she was in a state where she couldn’t easily say that she wasn’t there, the princess swallowed her saliva.
“Uh, sister… Sister…”
The girl holds the princess’s left hand tightly and shakes it pitifully, as if hoping to save her mother.
The girl already knew her mother’s fate. How difficult must he have lived in these ruins, in his mother’s arms?
The girl, who must have become accustomed to death, held the princess’s hand and shook it, even though she knew it was impossible.
“Sister… Mom… Mom… From a while ago…”
The moment the princess heard the girl’s voice crying, she unconsciously touched the bracelet she was wearing on her right arm.
Coincidentally, the princess had the power to save the woman in front of her.
