Chapter 682 Chapter
174. Illusion of Veil (2)
Veil was originally a soft golden light, but now the cross-shaped eyes looking at Sandra were so bright that it was almost blinding.
‘what? Sir Sarah?’
Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at Bale and Sandra alternately. Valeria also shook her head as if it was difficult to quickly understand the situation.
Naturally, Sandra and Sarah are not alike.
In the first place, Sarah is a pureblood with the black hair characteristic of Runkandel, Sandra is Ziffle’s white hair, and not only her body, but also her gaze, attitude, and atmosphere. Except for the fact that they were of the same gender, there was no resemblance between the two.
Still, Bale kept calling Sandra Sarah.
[I missed Sarah!]
“Get out of here, you monster!”
[Hurry up, go away. Sarah told you to go away.]
“Go away!”
Sandra told Vail, Vail told Jean and Valeria. Hedo was by far the most upset in this laughable situation.
“Damn it!”
Hedo increased the descent speed by using the momentum, but Sandra was also accelerated by the attraction caused by the veil.
Sandra struggled to escape the gravity and fall toward Jin, but she couldn’t escape the clutches of the veil.
Just before Sandra could reach Bale, Jin and Valeria rushed forward, brandishing their swords and staffs. It was said that Bale mistook Sandra for Sarah, but he had to stop any member of the alliance from falling into the hands of that madman.
Because no one knows how the veil will change the moment Sandra finds out she’s not Sarah.
Of course, it was something that Valeria was reluctant to do. It’s not that he’s killing Ziffle, but the fact that he’s trying to save him.
“I’m sorry, Aria.”
“It’s necessary, so I can’t help it. There is nothing for you to be sorry for.”
However, Veil instantly changed Sandra’s landing point by creating gravity from her hands and wind pressure with her wings.
Jin couldn’t recklessly use great techniques against the complex and fast-moving veil. When Sandra and Hedo got caught up in it, it backfired.
Inevitably, Jin and Valeria took a step back and prepared for the next situation. The fortunate part was the fact that Sandra was a living golem with a semi-immortal body, so she was not suitable for taking hostages.
[Sarah Sarah Runkandel!]
Soon, Bale received Sandra with an expression that often appears in romantic novels, ’embracing the prince,’ and smiled broadly, but also swung one wing vigorously.
As if throwing a fist at Hedo, who had been chasing after him.
jjwoong-!
“Oh baby!”
Hedo, who had been struck by the wings, bounced off the wall of aura and seawater. At the impact, black sea water poured from the wall like a waterfall.
‘I never thought I’d see a scene
where that gigantic man bounces off like that …’ An unmanned soldier who did not have a rigid body of Hedo’s level would have died instantly or his entire body would have been crushed.
Jean and Valeria rushed at Vail again. Veil couldn’t use his sword because he was holding Sandra dearly as if he were enshrining a shrine, so he fought back with only wings.
Although it seemed soft on the outside, the wings of the veil boasted great strength that was incomparable to that of a graveyard giant.
“Why do you keep calling the lady someone else, you madman!”
Hedo shouted as he broke free from the sea wall. His overly swollen muscles ripped off his top, and his eyes were stained with more intense anger than ever before.
Hedo, who always maintained a dignified appearance and attitude, had already been broken several times in this trip to the grave.
“That’s what I wanted to ask too, Lord Bale. The woman you are holding is not Sir Sarah. You better come to your senses.”
At those words, Veil opened her eyes wide and looked down at Sandra.
She was swinging her hands and feet wildly like a captured beast, hitting Veil’s face and chest. Of course, it was Sandra who got hurt more, and Bale didn’t even block her attack.
[Come to think of it, your face has changed a little… and you’ve grown taller.]
“Slightly?”
At Bale’s nonchalant voice, Jin was dumbfounded once more.
[My personality has deteriorated, and my strength has become indescribably weak. Sarah What have you been through? And stop. Your fist is up. heartbreaking It plays right away. Did you have super regeneration?]
“Let go. this monster. Do you dare to kill my husband?”
[husband? Who is your husband?]
“My Mr. Jin!”
Veil glared at Jin.
[Didn’t you tell me that you were contemplating marrying Padler when the war was over?]
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about! Is it because I am Sara or not?”
[Fadler, that guy looks better than that disgusting guy. It’s rather good. It looks like Padler came here as well, so I’ll have to put an end to it here.]
“I’m not Sarah Runkandel, I’m Sandra Ziple. And Jin is not cool. You know that too.”
[By the way, he’s a distant descendant of yours, isn’t it okay?]
“That’s right. We were born into a family of nemesis and have a tragic love… That’s why it’s more thrilling.”
At some point, Sandra and Bale were exchanging something similar to a conversation. It seems that there is a corner where crazy people can communicate.
[Anyway, everything is fine, Sarah. You’ve changed from what I remember, lost your right arm and weakened… but now I’ll protect you. Just like you protected me.]
“You said you would protect me?”
[Yes, Sarah Runkandel. My life, soul, and power exist only for you.]
Bang bang bang!
There was a roar in all directions, as if an artillery shell had exploded all of a sudden. Surprisingly, it was the sound of the graveyard giants ‘clapping’.
So far, Jin and Hedo Valeria, as well as Sandra herself, have revealed to Bale that she is not Sarah. Sandra didn’t even hide the fact that she was the child of Ziple, an enemy of Runcandel a thousand years ago.
‘Even so, Sir Bale continues to mistake Sandra for Sir Sarah…’
Is it because the reason is that Bale has woken up after a thousand years and is not in a sound state?
For some reason, Jin seemed to have another reason.
‘Compared to the power Lord Veil possesses, his way of speaking and actions give off an infantile feeling.’
no kids People often twist reality to protect themselves from too much shock.
For example, if you cannot accept the death of your lover or parent and believe that they are still alive.
Jin guessed that the current state of the veil would be no different from him. For example, Bale decided to ‘recognize’ Sandra as Sara now.
“This is crazy…”
Hedo, who grumbled at this, spat out.
“It seems that the Tower Keeper will continue to recognize Sandra as Sir Sarah.”
Hedo’s anger was no longer directed at Jin.
“We have to save the lady. It doesn’t matter if you can’t get your sword back now. Cooperate as much as possible in rescuing the lady from now on, 12th Horseman.”
“Of course I will, Tower Keeper. However… Fighting Lord Bale now may endanger Sandra.”
Jin pointed to the sky.
The sky, which had been dizzy with the spirits and energy of each power, was gradually being covered with blue. It was the power of the Blue Brain Padler.
‘You’ve gotten stronger. Either the power of chaos has been further refined or the old state has been regained.’
In the meantime, it seemed that Padler had also changed. Compared to the first battle in the Garden of Swords, a more pure and strong aura was spreading.
‘In addition, Lionel and Stam added Black Line and Chaos Dragons.’
Dealing with them along with Bale is too much of a burden. In particular, he hadn’t properly grasped Bale’s power yet, but it was certain that he was above the stronger Padler.
Besides, unlike when he attacked the Garden of Swords alone, he had companions to protect.
Hedo also began to look at the situation calmly, apart from the rising anger.
“…You’re right, 12 Horsemen. Then what do you plan to do?”
“I have a feeling that Lord Bale recognizing Sandra as Lord Sarah might be a blessing in disguise.”
“Hey, do you think that crazy guy will fight for Lady Sandra?”
“What do you think it would be like, Tower Keeper?”
“what?”
“Will you fight for Sandra under any circumstances?”
“In a situation like this, he would come up with a plan to escape with the young lady. If he escapes with the lady…”
Hedo stopped talking.
It was because he suddenly felt the energy of the veil infinitely amplifying. The cross eyes became sharper, and the shape-changed sword was emitting a huge light like the weapon of a god rather than a human.
What Hedo said was not wrong.
In that case, it was only right to escape with Sandra in this situation. But Bale had no reason to make that choice.
It is the conviction that you are stronger than all of them put together.
“…You mean you don’t even have to be nervous?”
“It seems so.”
[Jean Runkandel. This time I will end you…]
The Padler, who had completely escaped the dimensional door, also stopped talking like Hedo. As soon as he saw Jin, he blinked for a moment thinking of revenge, then crumpled his face when he saw the graveyard giant and the veil.
[…veil? Why are you here?]
[You came to me fearlessly, Padler.]
Veil grinned.
Padler looked visibly agitated upon seeing him.
[Besides, being so weak, I’m really fearless as ever… You bastard.]
Jin felt that Fadler had become stronger than before, but Veil recognized that he had rather weakened.
Veil, who had been glaring at Padler as if to kill him, lowered his head to look at Sandra. The face that had looked like a demon until just now had gone on to have an infinitely benevolent face.
[Sarah, would it be all right if I killed the paddler and the thugs today?]
Sandra replied casually.
“Eh, smash it or kill it. It would be uncomfortable if you continued to fight while holding me like this, so could you send me to Jin?”
[That’s right. Even if I became weak, it would be too much to tear apart while holding you. Hmm… I think he’ll be able to protect you in a melee. I will.]
“Yes, yes.”
[Please take good care of Jean Runkandel Sarah. When the fight is over, if even a small scratch remains on her, then you will die by my hands.]
“Hey, talking to Jin like that is forbidden now.”
[Okay Sara. I’ll correct this. Do you know that my hands hurt a lot at that time? Gene Runkandel.]
“That’s not even possible. It keeps saying mean things to Jin.”
[It’s to the point where I don’t know if it would have been better to wrap the Padler around. By then, you’ll be very tired too, Jean Runkandel!] As
Veil handed Sandra over to Jin and flew away, the group could only stare blankly at the back for a moment.
