Chapter 108 – Sweet Potato Bitch
If there is an uphill, there is a downhill. It is the eternal truth.
“Uh, what is that… No time for jokes, Mr. Alphonse… !”
“I’m not joking, lady. Now… We cannot save Lemarck.”
“Mister Alphonse!”
Even in this urgent situation, it was undoubtedly correct.
Can’t save Lemarque, what kind of lightning is this again.
Alphonse, who ended the reunion with Chloe, not the reunion. He inadvertently raises his voice at the words that are like thunder from the blue sky.
“Unlike my restraints, what imprisoned him was a holy relic containing the power of the goddess. As mere creatures, there is nothing we can do.”
“That, but… If I and Alphonse join forces… Perhaps… “
“You give up. I’ve been thinking about it over and over… It doesn’t come to mind. It is impossible now.”
“Ah… “
His words, as firm as nailing them, gave me strength in my legs and I sat down.
Nonsense. There is no way… ? Then you’re saying that we have to helplessly wait for Lemarck to die… ?
Fearing that tears would come out again, I pressed my eyelids together and caught my breath. It must have looked quite insignificant, Chloe sighed quietly, pushed me gently, and met Alphonse’s eyes.
“…Now, what do you mean?”
“I mean literally. I don’t know how now… It wouldn’t be very easy.”
“Um… “
Chloe shook her head and put her hand on top of my head.
Did he mean to be relieved because he will surely find a way, or did he unconsciously reveal that he was superior to me. Oh, is this too much delusion?
Anyway.
“Ugh… “
“My lady, if you think realistically, it would be right to evacuate them to a safe place first. After that… “
I know. If you think rationally, Alphonse is right.
Because Lemarque is the Demon King, he won’t die until he runs out of mana.
The fact that it was right to save people while he held out, and only then to save him. I know how annoying it is.
But… Even if you don’t want to worry, you can’t.
“Then what about Lemarque! You want to leave Lemarque as it is? What if I can’t find a way!”
“I can’t help it. He must have said the same thing as me.”
“Is it so. Didn’t you also say that we must save these humans?”
“But… “
My parents, who will be huddled together in one place, and Lemarck, who will be stuck somewhere and having a hard time.
Everyone is equally precious to me. It’s not easy for a greedy person like me to let go of either side.
“Ugh… “
I closed my eyes tightly and fell into thought. Even at this moment, the sense of impatience grows at the thought that the knights standing guard may attack.
What to do How are you talking?
After all, it’s right to listen to Alphonse and Chloe, right? Are they smarter and wiser than me?
“Eww… Yes then… “
Make a decision… Got off It may not be a wise choice, but at least I thought it was a choice that would not leave any regrets.
I smiled brightly and passed the twig I had stuck in my hair to Chloe, and hurried off to make sure no one stopped me. I jumped over a clumsy wooden fence and got out of the clearing.
Urgent voices could be heard from behind, but… I ignored it and focused all my attention on the front.
“Ah, lady!”
“Mister Alphonse, Chloe! I’ll take care of the villagers! I’ll leave after seeing Lemarck’s condition… !”
“This… Miss… !”
“This… Stupid Rainier… !”
I know it’s irresponsible, but to catch both rabbits at the same time, this is the answer. As for the villagers, Mr. Alphonse will take care of them and move them to a safe place.
It calms the beating heart and pours pure mana into the ring on the left hand.
Even if you can’t feel Lemarck’s mana… I can trace Lemarque’s ring to the extent that it is connected to mine.
“Is it the center… Also… “
I jumped over another barrier again. The hem of the skirt is caught and torn slightly, which hurts my heart. It’s Lemarck’s favorite clothes…
But, well, if Lemarck wasn’t there, what good would it be if he liked it or not.
“Stop it, Rainier! That one… “
In the end, perhaps following me, I heard Chloe’s refreshing voice from quite a distance.
I ran with all her might and she’s fine even though she’s panting tremendously. It’s about to get a little rough. It’s hurtful
“Whoa… Huh… “
Yeah, I thought you’d come along. Because we are in the same boat.
If I had to, I’d use a time stop for Lemarck. The plan is perfect.
She is just crossing her second barrier. I looked back at Chloe and smiled, then hurriedly walked out in front of her again. It was right next to the place where the knights and Abel were gathering, so I had to be very careful from here on out.
All of them have excellent spirits, so they are so light that they don’t even make footsteps… Hide as much as possible so that you can’t even feel my mana…
The knights sat in a circle around the wide base camp. Abel, Jihyun, and Rafe are standing in the middle.
– Warrior! Where is the saintess? Why only the saintess…
-Chloe was away because she had business with an old acquaintance. Maybe by now… Well, I wonder if the conversation ended successfully…
– Rumors circulated that she had not been seen since the middle of the battle, so maybe she got out by herself!
-…Do not worry. Chloe, the saintess, couldn’t be like that. I let her go under her judgment.
Ab… No, Abel.
Memories of Chloe that I saw. Through it, she came to know that she had misunderstood Abel all this time.
It all starts with Iris’ trick. Because I saw the video manipulated with the manipulated crystal ball… I couldn’t think properly. There is a reason why I was so mentally concentrated at the time.
However, there was no time to resolve the misunderstanding, and after that, the incidents were intertwined and intertwined, and eventually it came to this point. If I hadn’t looked into Chloe’s memories, I would still have resented and hated Abel.
Abel, the only person who knows about my relationship with Chloe. He’s probably aware of the fact that something has gone wrong between me and Chloe.
I stared at his face for a while, flattened on the floor like an earthworm. The face of the one I once loved more than anything and thought it wouldn’t matter if I gave it my all.
… Well, LeMarque is much better.
I thought I might feel strange, but to my surprise, I didn’t feel anything. At best… I’m sorry for misunderstanding, how are you, Jeong-do?
Maybe because of her mood, it seems that she met his eyes.
“Huh, huh… ! Whoa… This… It’s very hard. Whoa… “
I turn my attention away from him, and move my body slowly and step into the tent where I think Lemarck will be. Fortunately, thanks to Abel gathering her knights, there were no knights guarding the tent.
He swung his head to make sure there were no guards, and shouted in a voice that could only be heard inside the tent.
“Lemarck! It’s me, Rainie… ! This time I’m here to save you!”
I thought Lemarque’s thrilling voice would return, just like Mr. Alphonse did.
“Lemarck… ?”
There is no answer. Is he really there in the tent of silence, beyond the darkness where not a ray of light enters?
“LeMarc, what are you doing! Anything… Any answer… !”
You can’t use magic to light up. The use of mana is also use, so if the light leaks out, it will surely be discovered.
So, carefully, I walked deep into the darkness.
And then… I was able to grab what I thought was Lemarck’s hand. Judging by the size and the ring on the ring finger, it was clearly his hand.
Draw
“Le, Lema… “
Stuttering… Put his hand down
Cold. To the extent that it is unthinkable that it is the body of a living creature… It’s cold. Just like a corpse.
Fumbling and groping, I found his chest, the center of it, just by touching it with my hand. I put his ear close to him and sat down with the sound of the wind blowing.
“Poem, the heart… Don’t run… ? Uh, uh? That… “
Just one word that comes to mind.
Death. Lemarck is… Dead…
“Porridge… No!! I can’t… “
“Lenny… ! How many times have I told you to stop… !”
Chloe entered the tent just in time. She got angry and yelled at me.
However, he did not have enough spirit left to respond to her words. Even when she came closer and shook my shoulder, I fluttered helplessly like a doll.
“It’s dead… Chloe, LeMarque is dead… Dead… “
“…He died? What is that… Look where you are.”
Chloe’s voice cools. Moving away from me, she moved closer to Lemarque and put her ear to his chest, as I had done, to listen to his heartbeat.
It’s no use. Did I already check everything? Lemarque is dead…
“…That’s stupid.”
“…What?”
To her sarcastic remarks, I do not lose and answer coldly.
“Crazy year. I have no intention of accepting your quarrel right now… “
“Does this look dead? You self-proclaimed archmage, don’t you even know what a frozen state is?”
“Freezing… ?”
Chloe annoyedly yanked my arm and put it on LeMarc’s arm.
LeMarque’s arm bends as she gives her strength. When I let go of her hand again, it falls without power. His arms moved as flexibly as they did when he was alive.
“Shortly after a life dies, a symptom called rigor mortis appears. The body becomes stiff… How about it, doesn’t his arm move now?”
“Oh, no… “
“Soul freezing magic. It is an ancient magic that traps the souls of those who are imprisoned in a state of suspended animation. It’s probably the magic contained in the restraining tool bestowed by the goddess.”
“Soul… Freeze magic… “
I frowned at the first words I heard, but then I looked back at Chloe, her eyes twinkling.
If you’re not dead, then that’s it! Any amount of magic can be released!
“Well, then how can I solve it? Right Now… “
“Ha… I can see why Mr. Alphonse said that. There is no way right now.”
“What? Why… !”
“Soul freezing magic is a type of curse contained in this restraint. In order to rescue the target… Offering another soul instead of a redeemed soul is the only answer.”
Chloe said that seriously, but I couldn’t stop laughing. Why are you messing around with something so easy?
“Flaw… Okay? Then… “
Well, here’s a simple way! Why doesn’t everyone know this?
She lifted up her skirt and pulled out a dagger with cool anticipation. I held her in reverse and aimed at my heart, but she noticed it too because of the light emitted by her blade.
Because of that, when I was about to insert it right into my heart.
“For a moment! What are you doing?!”
Chloe hurriedly grabbed my hand and stopped me. He pulled her arm with all her might, but it was so strong that she couldn’t even move.
“If you just pluck out my soul with a dagger, then you can save LeMarc… ! Hey, even if there is no soul, the body will be alive, so the children will be fine… !”
“As you like… ! Aren’t you thinking about the rest of us! You promised to make Mr. Lemarck happy… !”
“I don’t know! Hey, let this go… !”
Stupid me, I don’t know of any other smart way.
And what’s wrong with giving my soul for the one who gave me happiness? After all, without him, my soul would have been ruined long ago!
I was sincere, and I was sincere to Chloe who tried to stop me, so we grabbed the daggers and raised our voices.
Because of that, I couldn’t even be wary of the situation outside… They fought defenselessly until the entrance to the tent was wide open.
The light from outside leaked in through the open crack and illuminated me and Chloe, who were staring blankly there.
“Ah… Get drunk… Hiccup. How much did you drink today?”
“Haha. Didn’t I always say I will say that your drinking capacity is inferior to mine.”
“Shit, damn it… I must have been drunk. What kind of blue kid is in front of me… “
Their eyes opened and closed as they stared at us… In an instant, it grew to the size of a fire.
“Ah… “
“This… !”
“…What?! Now, wait a minute, that bitch is the blue whore, Rainier… ! You’ve come to save the Demon King!”
“That horny kid?! But the person next to me is definitely a saintess… “
“Let everyone know! A blue whore has appeared! I’m holding on to the saintess… !”
Things just went wrong. If we run away like this, the security will become even tighter… !
“Oh, it’s a big deal… “
“Really, this sweet potato bitch… !”
Chloe, who was furious, slapped me on the cheek with a full swing.
Jab-!
“Ouch!”
I fell to the ground with my head spinning, but even then I did not let go of the dagger in my hand.
This mysterious dagger… I will definitely help you save Lemarque.
“I don’t have divine power, so I think it’s fortunate that I endured this much… ! Otherwise, I would have exchanged your head for an orc head right away!”
There is nothing to say about the sharp profanity. Aside from stabbing her heart with a dagger, she hid herself behind Chloe’s arm and said.
“Hey, Chloe… ! A little bit… Give me a little time… !”
“Ugh, I shouldn’t use it at a time like this… !”
Outside the tent, knights rushed in, and the first two knights rushed at me.
And the moment they jump up and try to attack me… !
Thump-
Everything stops with a clear sound coming from right next to it. The knights froze while floating in the air, and even a single leaf blown away by the wind stood still.
As usual, I looked at the mysterious scene and opened my mouth.
“You really are worse than a monkey! Fool! Asshole! Sea anemone! Rainier, who is more stupid than an orc… !”
As far as this time… I was not a resident of that frozen world either.
