Episode #264. I’ll try it.

She was walking.
in the dense jungle.
Staggering as if about to collapse.
But persevere and do not fall.
Chi profit.
Because he took off his jacket to block miasma, everything in a radius of tens of meters rotted and melted just by walking.
On the contrary, due to the runaway psionics, mutations occur in the place she passed and new vegetation sprouts.
Normally, it would have been balanced to minimize its influence.
However, she already had neither the ability nor the will to control her own psionics.
Ambrosia poison.
The sequelae of reverse hematopoiesis.
Internal wounds inflicted by Gula.
All of that made the seizures get worse and worse, and my consciousness went into a stupor.
If she hadn’t been the Green Dragon Princess, who had the strongest body among the descendants of dragons, she would have collapsed long ago.
But that too is now at its limit.
The recoil that continued to run away without a break in the worst condition was definitely eating away at her.
It was to the point where even those green eyes couldn’t focus right away.
My vision is blurry.
My head is hot like fire.
On the other hand, the body is cold as ice.
The limbs are as stiff as a block of wood.
It’s been a long time since even the pain that felt like my whole body was being torn apart has disappeared.
It was an unconscious instinct that was moving her now.
‘I can’t die yet.’
It is not a common survival instinct possessed by living things.
Her instincts as a princess, inherited from the seven dragons along with blood, were forcibly moving her body, which had already reached its limit.
‘I have to inherit the blood.’
A blood that lasted for nearly a thousand years.
Blood flow must not be interrupted.
An existence that is not even allowed to die until the next generation is prepared.
Because it was the seven princesses of the Seven Dragons who inherited the most noble lineage in the world.
pounding.
“Coke…!”
That was the moment.
My body is reaching its limit.
The feeling of her heart beating violently and the cold blood boiling over her.
Excruciating pain came at the same time as the disappearing sense of pain returned.
All over her body, bones and internal organs were twisted, muscles and skin were torn to shreds, and the pain that seemed like something was about to come out of her body forced her to collapse.
dump.
The ground already stained with miasma.
Remnants of rotten vegetation splashed on the body that fell helplessly there, staining the milky skin.
But Maia didn’t care.
He just held back his throbbing body and psionics running wild while holding him with both arms.
‘No…’
she thought, even in the middle of a hazy consciousness.
You have to endure it somehow.
otherwise it is dangerous
I already have no reason.
It’s not even instinct.
The lifelong habit of restraining oneself prevented the psionic runaway.
It was a reckless resistance indeed.
Perhaps it would have been when she was whole, but now that she had already been exhausted to the bottom, she had neither the stamina nor the mental strength left to support herself.
So the resistance finally collapses.
The moment the psionic swelled to the point that even the princess’s body could not handle it, it was about to run out of control.
Took.
something falls down
It is the fragrance that brushes the tip of the nose.
fighting such a tough battle.
Even the clothes were all torn.
Even while wandering in the jungle until now, a flower that had been kept in place in her hair.
The moment when the delicate scent that flowed from it that had fallen while struggling permeated her body.
The flow of psionics that was about to run amok stopped.
As if intoxicated by its scent.
Or it seems that he is relieved of something.
The psionic calms down again, as if the violent momentum from earlier was a lie.
Substantial seizures followed by fading pain.
Maia lost consciousness at the sudden calm that overshadowed her desperate resistance.
In a space where animals run away long ago, insects watch only from afar, and even the ground and air are dead.
Holding a flower made of stone with care.
The loneliest princess in the Seven Dragons fell into a deep and heavy sleep like death.
…without even knowing that the pursuer who had been relentlessly following her tracks was right in front of her.
* * *
An oversized man who raised his hand inadvertently.
Gula managed to stop his hand just before touching the left side of his face.
He glared at his hand with ferocious eyes, then chewed and swallowed the hamburger he was holding in his other hand before opening his mouth.
“Hey Diego inspiration.”
“Yes, my lord…”
“What command did I give to the old man?”
“He told me to find the green dragon princess at all costs…”
“That’s fortunate. It seems my memory is not wrong.”
Gula nodded with a very satisfied face.
But that was only for a moment.
“…But why isn’t that damn bitch right in front of me right now? Why did you lock them in an invisible prison?”
A very curious tone.
In contrast to Gula, who stared at him with a distorted, angry face, Diego replied in silence.
“Because of the chaos caused by the escape of the green dragon clan, it was too late to organize a tracking party…” “
So?”
“Besides, as you know, the Amazon is a difficult place to track down…”
“So?”
“Anyway, thanks to searching the jungle with all the manpower, I found the traces, so if you give me a little more time…”
“What was that about!”
Quaang!
Gula slammed the table.
The table was smashed at once by the monstrous power of a monarch.
As a result, even the plate was broken and a lot of delicacies poured out, and Gula shouted ferociously with anger.
“I don’t need any excuses like that! Tell me whether you caught the girl as ordered or not!”
“…sorry.”
“I’m sorry, ZX! If I gave you an order, you must risk your life to carry it out!”
Rather than shouting, it was the roar of a beast.
And what dwelled in those glowing eyes was madness beyond anger.
“Doesn’t my words sound like words? You fucking old man, do you think I’m easy enough to let you go with just one word?”
“Lord, please fix it….”
“Shut up your mouth!”
Fuck!
Goula kicked the food off the floor and threw it over Diego.
And he gritted it and pursued it.
“I made that bitch half-baked until I ended up like this, but I couldn’t catch even a bitch that was dying, and there was a saying to fix it!?”
Left hand with missing fingers.
A bandage covering half of the face.
Even the wounds that still bleed.
Gula gnashed his teeth, as if he had to be rushed to the hospital right away.
Unlike before, they thoroughly dug traps and mobilized even giants to gain an overwhelming advantage.
It was not enough to suffer such a major injury against Maia, and the fact that he even missed her made Gula’s eyes roll.
“I feel lucky to be inspired by Diego.”
That’s why Gula looked at the old man with bloody eyes.
“If it wasn’t just the inspiration that made Ambrosia, I would have to take responsibility for missing her.”
“…Thank you for your generous mercy.”
If it wasn’t for Ambrosia, I would have killed him.
Gula said with sincerity.
Then, as if to apologize, he ordered the old man who bowed his head like a growl.
“If you appreciate it, go find her and drag her in front of me no matter what. Alive or dead!”
If possible, he wanted to humiliate him alive, but if arresting him was difficult, he would tear the corpse to shreds and humiliate him.
Diego bowed his head at Gula’s command to speak insinably.
“Okay, as you say…”
“My lord, I have an urgent report to you!”
At that time, a guild member suddenly opened the door and ran in.
Gula, whose eyes had been blinded by anger, built up blood in the rush, reminiscent of a special agent who came to beat the gang boss.
“Where does this bastard come in on his own! Is this your living room?”
“That’s a really urgent report…”
“If you don’t rush to find that fucking bitch, you’ll end up in my hands.”
Gula clenched his fists.
In order to practice consistent words and actions like a monarch.
However, the moment he heard the guild member’s cry, he had no choice but to let go of his fist.
“I found it!”
“what?”
“You found the green dragon princess…?”
Diego made a surprised face.
Unlike the old man, Gula looked at the guild members with joy and anticipation in his eyes.
“Where are you? Where is that bitch!”
“That’s…”
The guild member hesitated for a moment.
I hurriedly ran because I was afraid that I would be hit by lightning later if the report was delayed.
When he saw Gula’s lifeless eyes, he was worried that his neck would be safe if he reported this fact.
But now it’s impossible not to report.
The guild members opened their mouths, praying that Gula’s anger would not be directed against them.
“Sa Sao Paulo.”
“…Where?”
“It has been confirmed that the Green Dragon Princess has entered the headquarters of Quetzalcoatl. It seems that the green dragon clan secretly rescued them from the jungle.”
“No way…!”
Diego couldn’t hide his distrustful expression.
He, who led the chase this time, couldn’t believe that Maia had left the jungle before he knew it.
However, when he heard the news, Gula was neither angry nor excited.
He just had a wicked smile.
“Heh, that’s good. It was something I had to do anyway, but I can handle both at once.”
Gula held out a hand.
Then he picked up the roast duck that had fallen on the floor and chewed it whole without dusting it.
wow wow
Like being ground into a grinder.
The moment the roast duck was swallowed into Gula’s mouth.
A strange thing happened.
Not only did the wound that had been bleeding a while ago heal rapidly, but even the fingers on his left hand, which had disappeared, began to regenerate quickly.
Forearm-sized grilled fish, meat pie skewers, and even fruit.
It seems like a waste of time to wait for a new dish.
By the time he had swallowed all he could pick up from the food that fell on the floor, Gula’s left hand had already fully regenerated.
It was just that the dark red light was added more than before.
“Prepare the Diego ‘troops’.”
After squeezing and straightening his regenerated left hand a few times, Gula quietly opened his mouth.
And he spoke with a languid smile.
“I’ll test what kind of expression I’ll make if I destroy Quetzalcoatl in front of her eyes and ravage and rip her clan to shreds.”
* * *
“Did the gang start moving?”
“yes. They are all related to the Forest Guild or presumed to be.”
The rooftop of Quetzalcoatl’s headquarters.
Li Qingyu smiled at the Floating Garden, which had been polished and perfected by Limon before.
“It goes according to plan.”
“It’s thanks to the princess’s insight.”
“It’s not enough to call it wisdom. Everyone knows that if you attach a bait to a hook and shake it, greedy fish will be caught.”
“…That’s right.”
She smiled bitterly.
The plan itself was obviously simple.
If the monster lord knew that Maia was here, he would turn on the light in his eyes and run.
Not only treating the monster lord as a fish, but even fishing it was a possible idea because it was Li Qingyu.
