Chapter 255. I have to protect this world
2022.07.12.
‘now!’
My call to Veron was the signal for the start of the operation.
Ugh-!
At the same time, an unusual wave of magical power swept through the surroundings.
The magical power of Ermano’s magic army, the magic circle I drew on the floor in advance, and finally, all the magic tools I planted all over the place responded to it, drawing out a more powerful curtain.
Expansion of large-scale magic.
The area where the magic was cast included the ground Veron was stepping on.
ridge.
A resonant sound that makes the brain ring. The moment of magic casting was fleeting.
Knowing that it was included in the range, Veron tried to get out of the body quickly, but the activation was faster than that.
Chow-!
Strands of magic rose up, intertwined with each other. Jongnae imprisoned Veron like a prison.
It was the completion of the magic prison.
“Is it a success?”
I could hear Oscar’s muttering, but I didn’t take my eyes off Veron.
I couldn’t let my guard down for a moment.
‘What are you thinking?’
As soon as he appeared, Veron, who was imprisoned in a magical prison, was motionless. He just stared at the army of Ermano.
There was no resistance or counterattack.
My anxiety grew more and more.
It was life and death magic, but he knew that he could not subdue Veron to this extent.
Still, I thought I could limit my range of motion for a little while.
I did.
“Mi crazy…!”
“Did you break through that magic prison?!”
…that was my mistake.
With just one gesture from Baron, the magic bar was scattered in vain. Passing through the scattered magical power like fog, Veron began walking leisurely.
When the magic we had prepared so much for was destroyed, our army’s fighting spirit was lost in an instant.
I was overwhelmed by Veron’s power as well.
‘That’s the power of God.’
In an instant, my eyes became far away from the car of remarkable power that seemed impossible to deal with.
I never thought I’d be this strong even though I didn’t absorb all the power in this world.
I didn’t even want to imagine what would happen if the author took Aidan’s power.
Veron, who picked up the essence of the spear tree rolling on the floor, stiffened his mouth as if he was bored.
“The welcome ceremony is grandiose, but nothing substantial…”
Wrong.
Essence shattered helplessly in his grasp. The energy flowing from the broken essence was absorbed through Veron’s body.
It was only then that I was able to properly see Veron’s changed appearance.
A new arm was attached to the right arm that Aidan had cut off in the past. The only peculiar thing was that the arm was rugged like a rotten old tree.
In addition, his entire skin was also stained black as if it were rotting away.
The appearance of Veron, who was exuding the same black energy as Aidan’s, was hideous.
Really.
The gigantic sheep muttered lowly.
[That child. The body can’t handle the strength and is collapsing.]
“Then what if we take the time?”
[I’ll kill everyone here and take their life force.]
“That’s difficult.”
Even if you drag out time, there is no chance of winning. In any case, it meant that Veron and I had to face a final decision here.
‘It’s a big deal.’
In fact, I may have been underestimating Veron.
I thought that if I held on somehow, I would be able to get rid of it.
But in reality, I couldn’t even tie it down for a few seconds. It was completely messed up from the first button of the plan.
It was then.
“Good good!!”
Ha ha ha! Veron started laughing maniacally. At that frenzied laugh, not only Ermano-kun but also Devlin’s army couldn’t move and fell silent.
Soon, Veron’s gaze turned to Ermano.
To be precise, me in the lead and my dad beside him.
“Things I want to stomp on are all gathered together!”
Eyes flashed. As soon as I met those lunatic purple eyes, I got goosebumps.
The pressure was such that I couldn’t move my body for a moment.
Veron took a step towards us. Oscar and Enrique straightened their swords and checked his approach.
But Veron looked at my dad right next to me as if he couldn’t see their existence. A low voice, as if scratching the floor, called for Dad.
“Esteban Nice Hermano.”
“I don’t remember ever giving you my name. Aren’t we very close?”
Veron laughed at his father’s harsh words.
“It’s not intimate, but it’s more intimate than anyone else.”
Veron held out a hand. It was the same arm that looked like a rotten old tree.
“Because your severed arm throbbed every night, to the point where I couldn’t sleep without sleeping weed.”
“It is nice to hear that. If nothing had happened, I would have been disappointed.”
Veron’s smile grew a little thicker.
“Yena and now, that damned personality is still the same.”
The guy came one step closer. The entire army of Ermano, who were facing each other, held Veron in check while holding their own weapons.
Veron seemed to be in a good mood, probably noticing the instinctive fear flowing between them.
“I think your henchmen are in a hurry to go to the bathroom.”
“In that case, I must get Devlin as soon as possible.”
Dad still didn’t lose a word to Veron.
“Back off.”
Dad whispered briefly to me and ran towards Veron.
“dad!”
I hurriedly reached out my hand to my father, but I couldn’t catch him.
I could tell without looking at it.
No matter how strong his father was, there was no way he could defeat Veron, who took the power of God.
bang!
Although his father’s attack entered threateningly, Veron leisurely scattered black energy and spilled his sword.
“It looks like a baby walking.”
Kwaaang!
“Are you crawling?”
Kwakwawang!
Even though each and every attack was a threatening attack containing sword energy, Veron lazily avoided it and mocked his father.
It looked like everyone was playing with it.
“That bastard…!”
“No Oscar.”
Holding on to Oscar who was about to jump out, I looked at the situation first.
‘Why don’t you attack Daddy?’
Veron avoided his father’s attack and mocked him, but did not fight back. Dad got tired quickly because the sword skills carried in each move were enormous.
It seemed that he was delighted to see his father’s increasingly hardened expression.
“Veron Arthur Devlica!”
Veron started laughing at his father’s angry cry.
“okay. I’ve been waiting for this very moment When you, who used to look at me as if looking at a small creature, will come to hate me!”
“Don’t bullshit-.”
Dad’s words didn’t follow.
“It is this body that killed your lover.”
Because of the shock of Veron’s words.
The faces of all the Ermano people including me and Oscar, as well as my dad, hardened.
“…what?”
“Siana? did you say The name doesn’t matter. Anyway, I ordered her to die. It’s been so long that I can’t quite remember…”
In the terrible silence, Veron continued, as if he were a stage actor giving a soliloquy.
“He would have died painfully. It must have been the pain of slowly decaying organs, but you couldn’t even take painkillers, right? Because the woman had a child. Whew keew. It’s a poison specially developed by this body. In order to kill the person you cherish the most in the most terrible way…”
As if enjoying the afterglow, Veron smiled lightly and closed his eyes gently.
“And I’ve been hiding it thoroughly.”
“…”
“To see that face in despair in front of my eyes!”
Flash! The purple eyes of Veron who opened his eyes glistened like crazy.
Veron’s eyes glowed with madness when he finally succeeded in taking revenge on the enemy who cut off his arm.
I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth.
It is a provocation.
Even if it is true, it should not be overlooked.
But…
“Mom can’t protect my daughter for a long time.”
I couldn’t stand it at all because I remembered the hand that gently brushed my eyes with a watery voice.
A child who is not even a scumbag…
My mother!
The back of my hand, which held the spear of divinity tightly, turned white. Whispering, I warned Veron.
“Shut that mouth.”
“ah. You were her daughter.”
“Don’t talk about your mother with that filthy mouth.”
Veron laughed as if it were ridiculous.
“It was a special kind of kindness before I died, but I would never have thought that he would condemn it like that. My heart hurts. Did you want to die without knowing the truth?”
“You will die.”
“I? Don’t you know what will happen to Aidan if I die? I’d go crazy. I haven’t decided on a nominee for ownership!”
The reason why he insisted on telling me that he hadn’t decided on a nominee for ownership must be because he had the belief that Aidan would never do anything dangerous.
‘Thanks for the good information.’
Surprisingly, his head, which had been heated with anger, became cold in an instant.
Dad staggered and straightened his grip on the sword.
“…Calm down, Mabel. Get your sanity back.”
My dad, who must be more heartbroken than me, calmly rebuked me. I took a short deep breath and nodded.
“are you okay. I am more rational than ever.”
Enough to remind me of my determination to fight to the end against that monstrous Veron.
‘Cause there’s nowhere to retreat
If you step back, this world will disappear.
I had to protect this world without fail.
“Attack!”
At the same time as my shout, a large magic circle was created in the sky above Devlin’s army.
I immediately opened a holy barrier that envelops our army.
Kwagwagwagwang!! Quaang!
On both sides of the canyon, the archers, slingers, and wizards joined forces and poured an offensive.
“Aaaagh!”
“Open the barrier!”
Devlin’s army, taken aback by the sudden attack, began to be helpless by the attack from the sky.
Belatedly, the wizards opened a barrier to block the incoming attack, but it was after the wizards’ power had already been reduced by more than half.
‘Because it was a rear-focused attack in the first place.’
Eliminate the magicians, who are the most annoying force in Devlin’s army, first.
That was the second plan.
“your majesty! Please close the barrier!”
The commander of Devlin’s army ran to Veron and asked. It was a reasonable request as a commander.
Quaang!
Veron didn’t move anymore after he fell to the floor with one gesture of insincere gesture.
The chatter spread.
“…how to take care of your subordinates.”
Even Ermano-kun was shocked by his ruthless behavior.
To Veron, Devlin’s army was nothing more than a deck to use for a moment.
“Trash child.”
I fixed the spear of divinity.
The only one who could deal with Veron, who had become half a god, was me, a being from another world that did not belong to this world.
‘Aidan.’
At that moment, Aidan’s face came to mind. No, the face of Ades, who endured his fate calmly before that.
“I know that?”
“what.”
“I will definitely save you.”
It was time to keep my promise to him who had been selfish.
“Veron!!!”
I rushed head-on toward Veron.
‘I have to protect this world.’
The clashing energy collided and a tremendous shock was transmitted to the body.
My stomach was twisted and the pain as if my limbs were being ripped apart, and for a moment my eyes went white as if I was blind.
But I gritted my teeth and persevered somehow.
‘Because it’s my world.’
Crying.
Even though they only clashed once, the fishy taste filled their mouths.
It was my injury.
I tried to hold on, but I was pushed back by Veron’s energy.
‘It’s too strong.’
If even the attack can’t reach it, the next plan can’t be carried out.
“your majesty!”
“Mabel!”
The voice of someone calling me seemed to be heard from far away. Are you losing your mind like this?
And then.
“your majesty!”
A voice was heard that should not be heard.
I came to my senses for a moment, and I strengthened my legs again and pulled out the divine power with all my might.
Dig!
As the boiling power offsets, Veron and I entered a lull.
“It’s quite a lot.”
Hearing Veron’s unwelcome praise, he took a step back and glanced back.
I doubted my eyes for a moment.
“How…”
Michael was there.
“Because it is Abelardo’s duty to exterminate heretics.”
After that, the army of Abelardo’s Holy Knights and Priests, clad in pure white robes, lined up as if protecting Ermano.
It wasn’t just that I couldn’t believe it.
[Our species does not forget grace.]
A red prober and a group of rare monsters he had never seen were next to him.
And Langard’s great army waving the imperial flag… and
even Duke Donovan.
There were many unknown faces, as if they had dragged the soldiers of the Ermano nobles. Duke Donovan got down on one knee.
“I am late.”
“…it’s not too late ball.”
I’ve always been mistaken. It’s my world, so I have to save it somehow.
But it wasn’t my world.
This is where we breathe and live together.
‘It’s our world.’
It was our world.
Reinforcements have just arrived.
