Chapter 889 – 100 Days – The Person the Princess Cannot Kill
“All troops! Defend the flanks! Don’t break away from the ranks!”
Hestia Gregorio shouted loudly and raised her sword with a blue jewel embedded in it.
To her left and right, warriors famous for their bravery in the Kingdom of Gregory stood holding weapons.
The Zodiac Knights walking towards them were all wearing pitch-black armor and studded with jewels and magic stones, just like the Knight Commander.
“Brave warriors of Greorio! Listen! Respond as you would an ogre!”
“Yes! Queen!”
Courageous warriors gather in formation with loud voices.
They very skillfully withstood the attack of the Knights of the Zodiac, who rushed in as if an earthquake had occurred.
As if dealing with an ogre, a being as large as a mountain, he never thought of receiving the weapon the opponent was swinging, but used magic to restrain the weapon being swung and then subdued the enemy.
─Two bang!!!
Hestia’s judgment was right. She never made a wrong decision.
─Kwaang!!!
“Ugh…!”
“Stand your ground! Brave brothers!”
Hestia was not wrong, but the Knights of the Zodiac were too strong.
The armor, which operates with magical energy that cannot be expressed in numbers, created a power that no living creature could produce.
No matter how experienced the warriors of Gregorio were, who had dealt with numerous different races and were not embarrassed in various situations, they had no choice but to suffer damage in the face of overwhelming power.
“Wounded warriors, don’t be shy and retreat to the rear!!!”
Hestia shouted loudly and fiercely swung the sword in her hand.
‘If what Arisa said is true, this would be the only way to defeat these monsters that are stronger than ogres!’
Hestia, dodging the attack of the knight who rushed towards her while spouting dust, barely managed to move her body to the side and hit the spinning jewel embedded in her armor.
─Kwazizig!
“Ugh…!”
The pure white smoke changed to black smoke. As soon as Hestia saw it, she instantly cut or stabbed all 12 jewels and magic stones embedded in her armor with a sword.
─Boom!
The knight’s body, which had been constantly moving, finally stopped.
As if the threads tied to his body had become untied, or as if the wind-up doll’s spring had been broken, he could not move properly and fell to the floor.
“Listen, brave warriors of Gregory!! Aim for their gems and magic stones! It is pointless to attack armor, so pick up a spear, not a sword!”
Hestia, who made an accurate decision in a battlefield where swords, spears, and arrows fly, wipes the sweat dripping from her forehead.
“I understand, Queen!”
“Brothers! Do not be afraid!!! These unholy things are not invincible!”
Hestia skillfully evaded the approaching attack of the Zodiac Knight again, moving with incredible agility for someone wearing heavy armor, breaking her gems and magic stones.
“Oh my…!”
Although she moved skillfully for a human, she was not a superhuman. She was not always able to destroy the 12 jewels and magic stones against the Zodiac Knights, who moved with transcendental power.
“Take care of yourself!”
Lucia shouted in a fierce voice and accurately broke the last magic stone on the Zodiac Knight’s shoulder with the ax she held in both hands.
─Uuuuung…! Slam!
With an uncanny sound, the Zodiac Knight’s movements stopped, and Lucia, lightly wiping the blood from her cheek, kicked her armor down with her foot.
“High Priest Lucia! Whoa, you look embarrassed.”
“No. Is there any reason to consider such a thing in this terrible battlefield?”
Lucia caught her breath lightly.
“What happened?”
“It’s not good. Jad Ober and Grace are playing on the other side…”
Lucia clicked her tongue at the one-sided slaughter of the Knights of the Zodiac that was happening around her.
She didn’t have time to stand here and talk quietly.
“Okay, let me ask you a favor.”
“They smell more disgusting than the demons and kill humans. It’s shameful that they were praised as the golden army of the empire.”
Lucia clicked her tongue, ended her conversation, and began fighting the Knights of the Zodiac with fire-spitting axes in hand.
Hestia takes a breath and looks down at the floor, looking at that brave and fearless appearance.
‘Even though the 12 jewels and magic stones embedded in the armor are broken…’
Hestia, who had been protecting Gregorio for a long time, had the skill to identify the opponent she had defeated.
As she had been invaded by countless foreign races, her act of wanting to know her opponent was natural for her as a knight of Gregory.
Therefore, in this battlefield where her spear and sword clashed, Hestia calmly kicked off the helmet worn by the Knight of the Zodiac with her foot.
“Pure white… Wait… Wait…”
Hestia’s face frowned as she saw her pure white hair stained with blood, like the blood that had been splattered at the first sight of her.
“This… Can’t be, no… This can’t be…”
Embarrassed, she kicked the helmet of the Knight of the Zodiac that Lucia had defeated.
“Ugh?!”
This time, I could see her pure white hair.
Her white hair wasn’t strange, but it wasn’t supposed to be here.
“No way… No way. Something like this… There’s no way Princess Venus could handle it…”
Pure white hair.
Red eyes.
Hestia’s face turned white as she looked at it.
* * * * *
“How could this happen…”
The princess was so embarrassed that the sword in her hand was shaking so loudly that she was retreating behind her.
“They said they could handle it. That’s ridiculous.”
The voice that had been cracking and strange until now had become something very familiar to the princess.
“Oh, no…”
“You don’t truly think it’s impossible.”
The leader of the Zodiac Knights smiles creepyly and pushes back his pure white hair with his right hand.
The princess looked at her face with red blood dripping down with her blank eyes.
It was a very frustrating action in a situation where countless lives could be lost, but it had to be done.
Because Venus Holympia still has a human heart.
“Look at me.”
“This is…”
“And try saying it again.”
“You…”
“You must do everything you can! You must save every life that can be saved! How dare you speak with that filthy mouth!”
Shouting, the leader of the Zodiac Knights swung her sword at the princess.
Bang!!!
The princess trembles and blocks the sword that comes down with a sound that shakes heaven and earth.
“You can’t do it.
“Ugh!”
“You can’t do it. You can’t! Because you’re such a hypocrite!”
The leader of the Zodiac Knights shouted loudly and kicked the princess’s body before raising her sword high.
“Venus!! Come to your senses! I was a bit shocked too, but I can’t just die here!!!”
Arisa very quickly extends her hand and uses magic.
The land where the Zodiac Knight Commander was standing was instantly turned into a swamp, but taking that long was like a dream.
“Ugh…”
“You say some pretty cruel things. Arisa Hecati.”
The Commander of the Zodiac Knights jumped out of the swamp with a smile and swung his sword at the princess once again.
“A skit that isn’t even funny… Jupiter, you crazy bastard…”
Elaine, bleeding from his shoulder, comes to her senses and rushes to the leader of the Zodiac Knights. Kang! Kang! Cough! She tried her best to overpower the knight commander with ignorance, but her strength was not enough.
With her pure white hair flying, and her entire body stained with blood, the leader of the Zodiac Knights swung his sword ignorantly, seemingly feeling no pain or pain.
Even if Arisa focuses her mind and fires her lightning bolts and fires her ice spears, they pierce her armor.
Even when Elaine kicked her in the chest and threw her to the ground, the knight leader continued to move.
To kill the princess.
Because I want to kill the princess.
“Ugh… Ugh!”
The princess bit her lip tightly and eventually took another step behind her.
“A prank that wasn’t even funny…!”
Bang! The white-haired Zodiac Knight Commander, who deflected Arisa’s magic and injured Elaine once again, walked towards the princess.
“Venus Holympia.”
“… You…”
“Your proud mouth has finally stopped talking. If you have a conscience, you will never be able to talk freely.
The princess closed her eyes tightly and swallowed her saliva.
“Is it Hedone?”
Looking up at the being with her pure white hair and red eyes, the princess endured her pain and spoke.
“Okay.”
The Zodiac Knight Commander laughs.
“Yes, Hedone! The being I longed for! I was born to become that being! Venus Holympia!”
The knight commander shouts, bright red blood dripping from his pure white hair.
“But look! Look! What I’ve done! I want to kill you right now! If I don’t kill you, I won’t know why I was born in this world!”
“You… Must want to kill me…”
Haha! But you still know what crime you have committed! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!”
The knight commander opens his red eyes and shouts.
“I am! We are! All the Knights of the Zodiac! We came here to kill you!”
“Ugh…”
“To kill you! Why? Of course! Because we were born into this world to receive seeds like you!”
The leader of the Zodiac knights points his finger at the princess and shouts.
“Because we were created to give birth to your baby! The reason we were born in this world, given a soul, and given a body was to become your seed carrier!”
The princess trembled at the sound of her loud words.
Although it was not created by the princess, in the end, there is a being before her eyes who was born to meet the princess.
A being that is no different from the person he truly loves is broken and distorted, and with a maniacal smile, he shouts that he will kill him.
“How dare you sound like a brat…!”
Elaine wields her sword to catch the wandering princess.
Aren’t parents the ones who reach out to their children when they are in distress?
She crumpled her sword, spouting blazing flames, into a crevice in the Knight of the Zodiac’s armor, and applied it with such force that the veins on her arms sprouted.
“Hate Jupiter Holympia! It was the emperor who created you, you idiot!!”
As she screamed, Elaine kicked forward with her force and fell with both her feet, which were attached to the back of the leader of the Zodiac Knights. At the same time, she ripped open the front and back of her armor, which made a squealing noise.
“Jupiter made you, didn’t Venus make you? Don’t make a fuss about killing people… Ugh?!”
Elaine, who was talking excitedly, frowned.
She stripped away her armor, which she thought had magic stones and gems attached to it, giving her endless power.
That’s what she thought, but Elaine could barely hold back the disgust rising from her stomach.
“Ah, yes… For sure… It was Jupiter Holympia who gave birth to me…”
The Commander of the Zodiac Knights shows off his bizarre smile as if showing off his body.
Her beautiful body, just like Hedone’s, was incredibly mangled.
‘Magic stones’ and ‘jewels’ grew unpleasantly on her white and shiny skin, and where her heart should be, a huge magic stone reminiscent of an icicle was stuck and emitting light.
“But… I can’t kill Emperor Jupiter, right? The only person I can kill to satisfy my vengeance is Venus Holympia, right?”
The Zodiac Knight Commander knew.
What is really wrong is Emperor Jupiter.
But what does that matter?
There is no reason not to escape from reality and have a pleasant delusion that if it were not for Venus Holimpia, he would not have been born.
“So. Die for me. Venus Holympia. Accept my revenge, which is a curse and a sin to live in itself. Huh? Let me tear you to pieces!!!”
