futile resistance.
futile resistance.
Ultor quickly rolled his eyes and observed the woman in front of him. A tall nose and two bright eyes. The woman who suddenly appeared was a beauty she had never seen before even as Ultor, who had been wandering around.
But that made Ultor even more nervous and wary. He sighed and answered briefly.
“You misunderstood. I didn’t say anything.”
“You didn’t say anything…? Did I hear that wrong?”
“yes.”
Pridja’s blue eyes softened.
“Is that really possible?”
“yes?”
The blue-eyed woman moved her finger slowly and tapped her chin. as if contemplating something. Ultor slowly stood up at the sight that was like a painting. While doing my best not to provoke the woman in front of me.
Beautiful woman. A beautiful woman traveling alone was a very dangerous being. No savvy traveler would ever make the mistake of getting entangled with a beauty traveling alone. Especially now that the security is close to collapse due to the worshipers of evil gods running around.
US. A woman’s beauty has always caused trouble. Regardless of the will of the possessor of that beauty. A beauty travels alone without a guardian? In other words, it meant that the woman in front of him was a being who could handle even minor accidents caused by her appearance very lightly.
Even if it’s not that, it’s evil to commit something using a beautiful shell as bait.
Normally, even a beautiful woman would be troubled by all sorts of problems, but the woman in front of her was one of those beauties. In addition, the feeling of being absent-minded somehow raised Ulthor’s vigilance.
Although the woman was wearing a priestly robe, that alone did not relieve her guard. Ultor knew better than anyone else that being a priest doesn’t always follow the good.
“Enough then.”
“Um…”
Prydia smiled softly.
“I don’t think I’ve ever said that I can go?”
“I’m going to leave on my own, are you going to stop me?”
“is it so?”
The woman slowly moved her hand and took out the blue sword from her waist. The sunlight hit the blue blade and scattered it brilliantly. The blue eyes moved slowly to gaze at Ulthor’s strong legs.
“Then when those legs are gone and you can no longer walk, will you answer my question?”
‘crazy.’
Ultor realized that even if he was wrongly caught by a madwoman, he was very firmly mistaken. How on earth can you think of cutting off the legs of a person who wants to leave on his own feet because he doesn’t want to answer? Ultor quickly recalled the impressions of the wanted flyers he had remembered in his head, but among the wanted criminals of the empire he remembered, there was no woman with such an impression.
However, the option to answer right away was also a bit difficult. If I said it right away, I had no idea where the woman would get angry.
After making a quick decision, Ulthor activated the artifact. Immortalium spread from the necklace and covered his body in an instant. Upper body and face only, excluding arms.
“uh?”
It was only then that Ultor realized that the artifacts worn on both arms had disappeared. Looking back, he recalled the last sight he had seen before passing out. The metal wires protruding from the arms of a priest named Marnak ripping away his own armor.
‘That son of a bitch Marnac stole mine!!!’
he grinded his teeth Those are ancient relics, how the heck did you collect them? It was a precious relic that could only be saved after going through many life-or-death hurdles. But are you stealing it?
Freedya stood still and flicked her sword.
“Once you’ve put on the armor, can you answer me soon?”
Awakened by the voice, Ultor quickly took out a pair of swords and skewers from his belt and glared at the woman.
“What if you don’t want to answer?”
Perhaps it was an unexpected answer, but Pridja opened her eyes wide and sighed.
“You don’t want to answer?”
“okay.”
“Hmm.”
She glanced at Ulthor’s arms and asked casually.
“Which hand do you use most?”
“You know what to do with that.”
“I’m going to leave my hand to eat. But looking at it, you seem to be using both hands well, so I wondered why.”
After that, the woman’s new form disappeared. moment. In an instant, the woman jumped over the gap and appeared right in front of Ultor. Ultor, who had been alerted to the limit while she was talking, was able to unleash the power just before her attack could reach her.
acceleration and deceleration.
Ulthor’s body became faster and the woman’s body slowed down. Axis of time out of sync with each other. That gap was the battlefield that Ultor was most familiar with. He gritted his teeth and drew his sword.
“This is not a very crazy bitch!!!”
Drool. Ultor saw. Even though it was obvious that it had slowed down to the limit, the blue eyes were following the trajectory drawn by its own sword. The woman’s mouth moved. very plain.
“Swearing is a bit too much for the first time.”
“what?”
Power was cut. Freediya’s time axis, which had slowed down, returned to its original position. She cut off Ultor’s right arm and looked down, hesitating.
I didn’t know because he was dressed like a mercenary, but seeing as he exerted divine powers, this man was a priest.
bang!!!
Instead of a sword, his left fist struck Ulthor’s forearm. Ulthor’s arm snapped at an angle it shouldn’t have. Before the missed sword hit the floor, the blue blade struck the rest of my hand, knocking the awl off.
A white palm gripped Ulthor’s helmet.
“Holy fire.”
Divinity raised a blue flame in her hand. The heat slowly raised my temperature very leisurely. The heat that passed through the Immortalium helmet became more and more intense.
“Ouch.”
Prydia smiled as she lifted Ultor with one hand holding the helmet.
“If you don’t want your hair to be warm, can you answer soon?”
lost. lost completely The woman in front of him was an opponent he could not resist even with arm armor. Ultor hurriedly opened his mouth in the heat.
“I will answer you! I will answer no!!!”
“How nice it would be if you did that earlier.”
The blue flame faded. Prydia let go of her hand. Ultor, who had fallen to the floor, clutched his broken right arm and groaned. As the tension subsided, intense pain came.
“Keugh.”
Prydiya looked down at Ultor with languid eyes.
“I think I broke my arm, not my mouth.”
A subtle coercion to answer or answer a question asked in haste. Ultor slowly opened his mouth, realizing that he was wrongly caught by the crazy bitch.
“What on earth are you so curious about? Did you…?”
“Marnac.”
a short word. Pridja continued talking while smiling brightly with her eyes twinkling.
“Tell me everything you know about a priest named Marnak. Then I will give you some herbs that are good for broken bones.”
The bag that Friedya was carrying was full of all kinds of herbs. Of course, those herbs weren’t for herself. Herbs were usually used to attach the lives of half-dead enemies. She often had to capture her enemies alive.
Ultor couldn’t complain about her shameless remarks about giving and giving medicine. It felt like that crazy woman without even an inch of hesitation would break the rest of her arm.
“So…”
“So?”
Ultor chose his words carefully. Is this woman asking for the capture of Marnak? If that’s not the case, is he asking Marnak to catch him for swearing at him? Depending on the answer, the direction in which he had to answer was completely different. Ultimately, Ultor decided to take a peek at the liver.
With as neutral words as possible.
“As you asked… I recently met a priest named Marnak… but he had already been possessed by a very vicious woman. I tried to wake him up as much as possible, but he forgot his duties as a priest and was covering his eyes and ears.”
“Bewitched by a woman…? which…?”
For some reason, I felt a sense of languidness. No, I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but it was a little difficult to breathe because of the intangible pressure.
Tit.
At that moment, the bird that was chirping on the tree fell. The little bird that fell to the floor was barely breathing. It was only then that Ultor realized that this choking was not his fault.
“Marnac was bewitched by a dark-haired woman named Giselle. Judging from the fact that she sacrificed her body to stop it, she must have seduced the priest with her body as a bait, since the beauty of that woman, Giselle, is quite beautiful!!! In addition, according to the facts I found out, that woman named Giselle is definitely a worshiper of evil spirits!!!”
Pridja was silent. After a while, her eyes widened softly. Ulthor felt the horror in those eyes. Red lips parted slowly.
“It is interesting. Can you elaborate a bit more? hurry.”

“Sorry!”
Plantum, the captain of the Wet Swallow, bowed at a right angle and apologized to us. The underlying reason for his aggressive apology must be because he witnessed Dakia and I show off their skills with both eyes.
“I should have checked better, but I didn’t even know that one crew member had changed. You really have no face with the guests!”
To be honest, the disguise of a man named Ultor was very sophisticated, and it was not at a level that a mere ordinary captain could figure out. Trying to blame him here would only make each other uncomfortable for the rest of the period.
“it’s okay. Wasn’t it an accident that couldn’t be helped? No one was hurt, so you don’t have to apologize that much.”
“Priest…”
The man between old and middle-aged was moved by my words, his eyes trembling. I patted him on the back, who was deeply moved, and suggested that he go and rest for a bit, since he must have been surprised. When I sent the captain back, Dakia, who was standing next to me, bit her lip.
“Anyway, that man named Ultor must be alive, right?”
“Isn’t it?”
“I’m afraid he’ll live and hurt one of us later.”
“You don’t have to worry too much because I will open my eyes wider and be more vigilant than now.”
Dakia smiled brightly at my playful remark.
“Is everything solved if I just open my eyes wide?”
I patted her on the shoulder.
“Wouldn’t it be better to float wide rather than narrow?”
“that’s right!!!”
Jamel jumped up and looked at Giselle with her eyes wide open.
“Like Priest Marnak, I will open my eyes wide and look around!!! Dacia-dono… No, Dacia, don’t worry too much!!!”
Giselle frowned at Jamel’s gaze.
“Then why are you looking at me with those wide open eyes?”
“this time! Because you bought and hit it, not me! It’s good to have clear responsibilities! lol.”
“really. You’re my friend…”
Kung.
The captain, who had gone upstairs, quickly came down again.
“The outnumbered ones have appeared. This time, I’ll pay a bribe and send it to you, so I’m telling the guests not to be too surprised. We have a symbiotic relationship with them.”
The captain smiled broadly as if it was finally his turn to do something.
***
“You cannot pass.”
“yes?”
“If you want to move on, hand over that woman over there.”
The negotiations, which had been going smoothly, took a turn when my mother, who was standing behind me, peeked out her face. The man who seemed to be the leader of the brigands changed his words as soon as he met his mother’s eyes, and urged him to release his mother.
hooked
And a new weapon that flew off the back of my left hand. The harpoon pierced the head of the bandit leader.
“That guy is the boss?!”
“Bastards!!! Get rid of it all!!! Leave the woman alive!!!”
“Haa, the imperial security is really messed up. Seriously, I don’t know if an accident happens every few hours.”
Despite the chaotic situation, the mother smiled broadly, not caring.
‘killing!!!’
“Absolutely not. Use that gun next time. Haven’t you practiced properly a few times yet? I’ve seen you hit only 7 out of 10 bottles before.”
‘Hat killed?!’
