[ Episode 337. Various decisions]
Luna trembled as she felt the attention focused on her.
‘Am I nuclear?’
My body was in pain, but it wasn’t that I couldn’t hear it. People’s cries echoed like tinnitus and my head pounded.
“You monstrosity! You were with Maxwell!”
“Hey, what kind of English is this?”
I? because of me?
The fact that all of these things had to do with her was painful for Luna.
After entering Portion, in fact, the anxiety that I had been feeling since before that.
‘Everyone doesn’t like me.’
The world did not welcome her.
At least Luna felt that way.
But nonetheless…
Luna Pendragon loved this world so much.
“Is it because of me…?”
Rather than blaming the world, she was more distressed that this was her fault. Most of all, it was hard to bear the fact that Adrias, one of the people he cared about the most, was being harmed.
“…….”
Adrias’ eyes looking at him were confused. Normally, I would have thought it was a funny reaction, but not now.
Adrias… I hope he doesn’t hate me.
I had a negative premonition of what would happen if he hated me.
“Oh…stop it!”
The attacks of the bizarre monsters gradually became more diverse.
At first, there were only slow objects in the form of humans, but as time passed, the shapes diversified, and some even flew.
Roaring!
Quaking–!
The colorful magic of the warlocks embroidered the air.
However, with the power of only basic magic, at least beginner magic, the monsters broke through the magic curtain.
“Everyone dies like this!”
A desperate cry was heard, and someone had actually been eaten by a monster in the form of a white lump.
“Kill Luna Pendragon. Then you can buy them all!”
Bison said something that everyone had been hesitant to say until then.
“It has not yet been definitively proven to be nuclear! How dare you come up with such an absurd idea!”
Patrick, who had been helped by Luna, screamed. However, the gaze of the rest of the warlocks, which had already been reduced to nine, was ambiguous.
“These unscrupulous bastards! Do you guys even deserve to be called superhuman!”
“What is the use of all that in the face of the question of life or death? Or maybe you, Patrick, are going to solve this situation. Find a way to stop those monsters.”
Someone other than Bison said to Patrick. And those words were heard by Luna as well.
‘If I die…’
Can everyone live?
Luna shifted her gaze to Adrias.
He was protecting people by blocking countless monsters alone. However, the monsters were constantly regenerating and the number did not decrease, but rather increased.
“……Your friend is dangerous.”
Because of me…my friend dies.
A home she had never imagined passed through Luna’s head.
As Patrick said, she still didn’t know if she was the definite cause, but she had a hunch inside.
The
dread sword that Adrias once gave me came out of the scabbard. The sharp sword blade flashed and glared at her.
“Luna Pendragon?”
Keshurn Violga’s eyes widened when she saw her draw her sword. Looking at Keshun, Luna smiled sadly.
“Sorry.”
What is an apology for?
Keshurn didn’t know.
However, one thing is known: she will not defeat a monster with that sword.
“sister!”
At that time, Lucia, who was vigorously using magic, threw herself.
Cheeky!
“What are you trying to do!”
Lucia, who raised her voice for the first time, knocked Luna over and sat down.
“Let go of the sword.”
“Lucia…….”
Luna’s eyes were stained red.
Soon, welling up tears filled Luna’s big eyes.
“Everyone dies because of me. That’s not allowed.”
“What are you talking about? Why is everyone dying because of my sister? And who dies is who dies.”
“…I also made a difficult decision. If you block it like this, I……”
Tears flowed down my cheeks.
Luna was so happy and grateful that someone else had stopped her, but rather that’s why she had an unchanging determination.
The world was also beautiful.
I was like a stain in this world, but I was so happy that someone thought of me and worried about me.
Fuck!
Suddenly, someone kicked Lucia.
Bison appeared behind Lucia, who collapsed helplessly at the sudden kick.
“You are doing a lot of shit. And are you just going to watch it like that? why? Can’t you just kill them with your own hands? To pretend to be noble.”
At his words, the Warlocks bowed their heads.
Some of them even looked away and pretended to focus on the monster.
“Luna Pendragon. It’s not that you have any resentment, but I need to die.”
“no.”
Lucia used magic.
However, Bison lightly blocked it and didn’t even look at it.
“What the hell is Luna Pendragon Maxwell planning? Let’s listen to that before we kill.”
“I don’t know either.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer. After all, I can kill you, survive, and question you myself.”
The pure destructive power of mana was condensed at Bison’s fingertips. In the meantime, Lucia kept interfering, but Bison lightly blocked it with a double cast.
“Aren’t you resisting?”
“…….”
Luna closed her eyes.
Tears that had nowhere to go fell leaving marks.
Kuduk!
“hmm?”
Perong!
Suddenly, a new type of bison flew away with a gong sound. At the same time, when Luna opened her eyes in surprise, there was a beastman she had seen before.
“Timur?”
The undead that Adrias served.
When Luna got up and looked around, Timur was not the only one summoned.
Clap clap-
clap- clap!
Hundreds of mercenary soldiers walked out of the black subspace bursting with ferocity.
-Carr!
A small fairy was swimming in the air and bound the monsters with shadow magic. A swampy shadow lay beneath their feet.
“Ah…”
Luna watched them with a vain expression.
Adrias was a noble of the Empire and was in a position where he must never be found out as a warlock. The fact that he summoned the undead broke Luna’s heart.
‘Because of me…….’
As soon as he thought that all of this was because of himself, a feeling more bitter than the pain in his body swept through his heart.
‘Won’t you be my friend now?’
Tears flowed again.
She tried to put up with it, but her emotions betrayed her will.
“What undead?”
“Who is it? Is it Luna Pendragon?”
While people panicked, Timur moved.
Timur, moving cautiously, picked up Luna, who was biting.
“Timur?”
-Kreung.
And Adrias appeared by Timur’s side.
“……I will warn you.”
After facing the monsters at the forefront, he took a cold glance at the survivors.
“Whoever attacks Luna Pendragon is my enemy. If you want to kill her, you will have to kill me first.”
“This bastard…”
Bison, who was blown away after being hit by Timur, but was fine with protection magic, spat out a curse.
“Are you trying to kill all of them just to save one of them!”
“Who dies, who dies?”
Bubbubuck!
The surroundings were completely blocked by the undead. Contrary to their appearance, the warlocks swallowed dry saliva as they saw the mercenary soldiers displaying fearsome power.
“No one dies from now on.”
“Could it be that these undead…were you summoning them?”
Bison made an expression of amazement.
And Adrias didn’t deny it, just stood there and watched.
“How could the nobility of the empire use black magic…”
“Does it make sense to have such a high level of undead enlisted before that? Did becoming a warlock mean that you became a dark magic?”
“That is nonsense.”
Everyone was confused when Adrias’ identity was revealed. Among them, Lucia, who was with him, was watching all of this with an expression of disbelief.
“Senpai… a black magician.”
A mysterious senior who always seemed to be hiding something. Was it because of this reason that he seemed to be carrying a burden alone?
“…….”
And Bahat was also looking at Adrias with a puzzled expression.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry……”
Luna cried and dug into Timur’s arms.
I couldn’t bear to see Adrias.
However, she soon felt a hand caressing her hair.
“Luna is fine. It’s not because of Luna.”
Adrias’ voice.
Luna turned her head in fear.
However, there was only a smiling Adrias.
“Oooooh friend…….”
“It’s not because of Luna.”
“Are you not going to be friends with me anymore?”
“We are friends forever. Death won’t change that fact.”
Upon hearing Adrias’ words, Luna’s tear ducts exploded again.
“Aww! Friend!”
“So don’t worry about anything. Everything will be fine.”
Adrias, who comforted Luna, spoke quietly without looking away.
“I know you all have a lot of questions, but if you want to live, please listen to me for now.”
“Adrias Cromwell! It’s like covering Luna and Pendragon, and their identity is very suspicious.”
Bison said to Adrias.
“Are you actually Maxwell’s subordinate, too?”
“Say something that makes sense.”
“Hmph, whether or not you are Maxwell’s subordinate, the moment you get out of here, it’s all over. If you were a dirty black magician, now you’ll lose everything…”
“I’ve felt it from the beginning.”
Then Bahat, who had been quiet until now, intervened between the two.
“I didn’t like you.”
I couldn’t tell if Bahat’s words were directed at Adrias or Bison. However, Bison nodded as the flow of mana that was about to happen wrapped around Bahat’s whole body.
“Right. You can finally talk, Bahat. As expected of the duke of the empire.”
When Bahat showed signs of magic, Bison and other Warlocks naturally assumed that they were heading for Adrias.
“Yes, the first time we can talk.”
“Bahat Alven! Can not be done!”
Patrick shouted, trembling.
“Are you planning on attacking him just because he uses black magic? If that’s the case, the warlocks you’ve met at the festival so far are…”
“Hey, Patrick. be quiet? Can we intervene in affairs inside the empire?”
Bison scolded Patrick for that.
However, Bahat’s reaction to seeing the two was unexpected.
“I don’t know what you are talking about. black magic? Where is the black magic here?”
“……what?”
“It was you who said I didn’t like you, Bison.”
Kwajang!
space shuddered.
Bahat’s magic, which was able to use even intermediate magic before he knew it, hit Bison as it was.
“Heuk!”
A space-warping shockwave slammed past the bison. Bahat then stepped over and gently stepped on the fallen bison, clutching his abdomen.
“You were too loud.”
Perong!
