Chapter 702,
Chapter 179. Inescapable trap (1)
First class butler Petro, runcandel’s butler writers, about 30 colon natives, and Picon Minche’s contractor, Vin Blanche.
The knights led by Mary successfully infiltrated Hufester and rescued about a hundred survivors.
“…There was no problem until we confirmed that our allies, who were originally thought to be in my older sister’s territory, had fled to the west of Delki and infiltrated there again.”
“I was strangely lucky, although chaotic knights and monsters continued to attack me. Even before we started exploring in earnest, the butlers who remained in the manor informed us of the situation, and neither Mother… No, Rosa, nor powerful enemies such as the Knights of the Mausoleum appeared.”
Daytona and Haytona said. The two of them and Jin were sitting in front of the recovery room where Yona and Mary were, making confused faces.
“Even after arriving in Delki, things went smoothly. Prince Laika, a completely unexpected figure, has been keeping the survivors well hidden. However, while taking over the rescue targets and escaping into the sea where the ship of Cosmos is waiting. I saw Difus brother…”
Difus Runcandel.
After attacking Merry and the knights at the end, he had a form completely engulfed in chaos. Like Rosa, horns grew on her head.
-under. What will become of Dipus brother and the knights now?
-Everyone will be imprisoned in the dungeon. The Fourth Horseman… Rosa had been coveting it before. It’s likely to be Rosa’s person. by chaos.
The story Mary heard from Lynne Milkano turned out to be true.
“As soon as the second brother appeared, we thought the operation was bound to fail. Just releasing the energy was enough to shake the Cosmos fleet. Even if we all stood up, it seemed like we couldn’t help him.”
As soon as Merry saw Dipus, she approached him like a bewildered person.
-Brother… right? Difus brother. It’s me, Mary. don’t you know me
– Sister Mary, you can’t go! stop!
Even when Mary faced Difus, who had changed, she seemed to have no intention of fighting him.
Dipus didn’t even swing his sword at Mary like that.
Rather, he smiled contentedly and waited slowly for Mary to come closer.
-[Yes Mary. The place you should be is next to me, not Tikan. Come on, let me help you. As always.]
Difus even greeted Mary while saying that.
But fortunately.
Mary didn’t lose her mind when she saw Difus.
“My sister immediately recognized that there was no answer to confront my older brother head-on, and she displayed her wits. If sister hadn’t pretended to collapse at that time, we wouldn’t have been able to come back…”
Difus hadn’t forgotten the relationship between himself and Mary in the past.
So in his eyes Mary’s actions seemed reasonable.
In other words, he was careless.
As soon as Merry got close to Dipus, she calmly unleashed a light-speed thrust and opened the volcano to engage in battle.
Dipus lost half of his body at the start.
Mary used her swordsmanship more ruthlessly than ever before, and only then did the Tona brothers and the knights realize her intentions and hurriedly prepared to escape.
The battle didn’t last very long.
The spirit of marriage quickly restored Dipus’ body, which had more than half blown away. Intuitively, Mary was sure the moment he fully recovered, there would be no next.
So she fled to the fleet with all her might while Difus was recovering, but she couldn’t help but take several attacks from Difus just before arriving.
That was why Mary was in the healing room now.
“…the youngest, I’m so worried about my sister.”
I wasn’t talking about the wounds on the body.
mind.
It was obviously acting that Mary used her wit to drive Difus away for a moment, but even that painful heart couldn’t be fake.
‘Was it because of Dipus-hyung that YuRia wasn’t in a good condition? Sister Mary’s things have increased in Tikan, so the Power of Truth may have foreboded such a bad future from him. To Sister Mary… I don’t know what to say.’
While Jin silently patted his brothers on the shoulders, a crowd of people rose from inside the healing room.
“worry? I’m more worried about you guys who are sitting there getting comforted by Jin, Tona guys.”
“Sister Mary!”
“Did my sister wake up…!”
The eyes of the Tona brothers who jumped up and looked at Mary were red.
Mary clicked her tongue at the sight.
“I was awake earlier. However, I was so tired that I tried to hug Yona and take a break, but I keep hearing voices. I came out because I think it’s my duty to defeat the two of you if you two do it like idiots.”
“I’m sorry, sister.”
“But I didn’t cry. Of course, if you hit me, I’ll be sweet.”
“I’m proud of you, pathetic bastards. Jin is your younger brother. I understand that his strength or ability is lower than that of his younger brother. But even if you have a mental head, you have to work hard to look like the hyungs. How long will you just lean on Jin? It means to have a little bit of a strong corner.”
After a round of shots at the Tona brothers, Merry met Jin’s eyes.
“You don’t make that shit-chewed face either. When the boss shows signs of worry, the people under him are bound to feel more frustrated.”
“Yes sister. I will listen.”
“It’s not that I couldn’t save people, and that my brother Diphus did that… It looks like a beggar, but it’s not unexpected at all.”
Anyone who knows the relationship between Dipus and Mary will know.
The fact that Mary was overdoing herself and pretending to be okay.
Jean had a lot of respect for Mary.
That he will never show his weakness again, and that he will never lose his cool even if the day comes when he faces Diphus that has been engulfed in chaos.
Since coming to Tikan, she has kept her word.
Giving clumsy consolation to such Mary was rather an insult.
“So what we have to worry about now is the safety of the remaining survivors and the intentions of Brother Dipus.”
“If it’s your sister Deepus’s intention…?”
“No matter how you think about it, Brother Dipus let us go on purpose. Cosmos’s ships are amazing, but if my brother had made up his mind and pursued them, he would have been able to catch them.”
“Hey sister. If that’s the case, then Difus-nim regained his senses for a while.”
“Is that it? Haytona. In the first place, such assumptions should be ruled out altogether. My brother is no longer the person we used to know. You have crossed the river of no return.”
It is no different that Mary rules out even the slightest hope for Difus.
She was sure that the moment she put her hopes on Dipus, Rosa would definitely use it in some way.
Or used by the corrupted Diphus himself.
The best choice she could make for Difus was to end Rosa and the Garden of Swords as soon as possible.
Even if he had to cut Difus in the process.
“Anyway, I kept thinking about why my brother let us go, even while lying down. For some reason, I have a feeling that despair might be due to that.”
During Mary’s absence, Valeria wrote down the information her colleagues found out in a notebook and left it in her healing room, and Mary looked through it all.
“The reason Rosa uses Joshua is also a situation that is presumed to create despair? Maybe it’s the same with Diphus’ brother. Instead, unlike Joshua, my brother’s role is to maximize the despair of others, not to fall into despair himself.”
“Brother Difus decided that letting go once and then catching him again would be more effective in forming despair than annihilating his sister and the rescue targets in Delki. Are you saying this?”
“Yes, because failure is always greater after success. Or maybe he wasn’t satisfied with the despair he got from killing us in Delki. As I said just now, my older brother did not temporarily find reason in the chaos because of me. It’s not even that he sent us away just on a whim. There must be a reason, and it must be related to the completion of Rosa.”
Only time and despair complete Rosa.
Jin thought that Mary’s hunch was correct.
“In that case, Difus-nim will lure us in again.”
When a hunter releases his prey, it is usually when he is trying to lure out a larger game by baiting him.
“Yeah, I guess. Either prepare well or we should strike first… It’s hard to judge. There are too many options for you to choose from, and it’s too risky to act first.”
“First of all, we will deliver information about Difus to Kingelo and Zipple. Orgal is currently looking for Joshua, so I think we should also check Dipus-hyung’s location in the process.”
Difus was the same as Joshua.
Unless somehow found and completely eliminated, Rosa will continue to build despair through them.
Unlike Joshua, however, Difus’s death will inevitably lead to Jean and Mary’s despair.
Even so, Mary thinks getting rid of Dipus is the only thing for him, but Jin wanted to find another way.
‘Maybe Rosa wants us to kill Brother Dipus. Besides, older brother has a body transformation, so it is impossible to treat him with the current purifier.’
The best is to subdue Dipus and then seal it away until a means of purification can be found. As if Runtia had been left in subspace.
Thinking that far, Jin saw Casimir and Jet approaching from the other side.
Casimir had just come to see Jin after receiving a report from Jet.
“Sir Casimir.”
“Gongja Jin just got a bad call from Zipple.”
“Did you really mention the termination of the temporary alliance?”
“No, rather, we requested support as temporary allies. The Lutero Magic Federation was attacked, and the attacker was… said to be Sir Difus.”
Jin, Mary, and Tona brothers reflexively gnashed their teeth.
Difus had already started moving.
