Chapter 403 – Flowering

000

It happened so quickly and quietly.

Red blood flowed from the sword of the person who was standing there as if it were natural for them to be there.

“… !?”

However, it seemed that the person who stabbed the sword was the one who was most perplexed on the spot.

Obviously, he should have taken action after targeting Princess Amelia.

At some point, Amelia was outside the cage, and in her place her was her escort her, the Dark Horse clan.

[Cleon… !? Cleon!]

Galatea’s voice calls out Cleon’s name to her.

It was because he felt that his life force was rapidly fading away.

“Kuh… “

Now, the one who understands best what has happened is none other than the attacked Cleon.

It is a distortion.

What I just said is the’distortion of thought’ability used by Rubera and her partner her, the demonic sword Barisada.

Originally, Rubera’s ability could only be activated by targeting her own body or her barisada her.

As a result of repeated training after awakening, although a very small number, they have grown to the point where they can use their abilities as targets for other people’s bodies.

Cleon knew that.

That’s why, when I visit the girls’ training ground in the morning, in case of an emergency, to protect Amelia.

She had asked Rubera to use the distortion to reverse her her and Amelia’s positions her.

The moment Cleon sent her signal her, Ruba activated her powers her before she even grasped her situation her.

As a result, the positions of Cleon and Amelia were reversed, and Cleon was pierced by the sword instead of Amelia.

[I thought it would be like this… Cleon! I’ll go now, so just spend a little bit… !?]

Rubera’s voice is heard in Cleon’s ears, but it is soon blocked by something shocking.

“… “

The assailant watches Cleon’s body as he slowly loses strength and collapses, then calmly pulls out the sword from him.

Chew! A groan was heard, and his blood spattered to the ground.

If it’s fortunate, it’s fortunate, but it wasn’t an instant death because it wasn’t a vital point.

Dump! Amelia looked at Cleon, who was sitting down heavily, with an expression of disbelief.

Why was he able to come out on his own?

As if the positions of Cleon and himself were reversed.

[Hey, Cleon… It’s a lie… ? What did you do… !]

Lyla’s voice echoed in her ears once again, and she, who was looking down from the sky, was shocked to see Cleon’s body her collapsed and her head her went blank.

However, Cleon talks to her, somehow squeezing her spirit into her head instead of her mouth that won’t open properly.

[Lyla…Take Amelia…]

[Don’t be stupid! I can’t leave you alone! Wait, now-]

Lyla says so and tries to use her magic her, but-

[What are you!? Don’t disturb… Cleon! Cleon!!]

The next moment, as if even Laila was disturbed by something, she shouted his name her and then—

Slowly, her voice her fades away.

[Lyla? Lyle… ]

Even if her name her was called, her magical power her could not be reached even with the power of her imprint her.

Cleon’s face became more serious, but the most serious was his physical condition.

Even then, in that brief moment, the assailant, reassessing the situation, moved outside the cage where Amelia was sitting, just as he did when he appeared.

There was no sign of anything, just a slight movement of her mana her.

However, without that reaction, it would have been impossible for Cleon to notice that moment and change the positions of Amelia and herself.

“Amelia… ! Run, run…!”

When Cleon shouted that in a strained voice, Amelia hesitated and stood up from her seat her, looking resentfully at the assailant approaching her.

“Taaaaa!”

However, right after that, someone jumped out from behind Amelia at great speed and crashed into the assailant.

There was a great shock, and what Amelia saw through her smoke her-

“Gray!”

“What are you doing! You bastard!”

While wearing a blackout suit, Gray hit the assailant with an accelerated kick.

Even the assailant with the ability to move through space seems to be unable to react to the invisible, so he crosses his arms and blocks the kick.

Thanks to that, if the hood the attacker was wearing came off like the wind-

Beneath it, her pink hair fell down, revealing ‘her’.

“…!? You, the Pope’s—”

The ones who knew that face were Gray and Cleon.

Cleon too, after seeing Gray take off her hood her, checks her face her-

She tried to get up from her seat with a cool expression on her face.

“Verastor… !”

She calls her name her and tries to strain her leg, but flop! Cleon collapses again as her body loses strength.

The next moment, Galatea, who was on Cleon’s waist, changed from a sword to a human form and inspected Cleon’s wounds her.

From the front to the back her, his wounds her pierced by the sharp sword were constantly bleeding, and it would n’t be strange if he passed out in shock.

In addition, it was felt that something was interfering with the magic passage between the party and interfering with their communication.

“The flow of magical power is messed up… It’s impossible to heal wounds with magic… ! You! What the hell did you do to Cleon! That knife-“

[It’s poison. Magic sword.]

Hermes hanging around Gray’s neck speaks.

[I don’t know what kind, but liquid components other than his blood his were detected in his body his. It seems that poison was applied to the sword.]

“Poison…!”

[If we don’t treat him right away, his life is in danger. I feel my vital signs getting weaker.]

At Hermes’ words, Galatea thought for a moment about what to do, but then she released the magic that made up her own hands her.

And, her reconstructed hand was just like Galatea’s true form—the blade of a beautiful demonic sword.

With that magic sword, he wielded it to break the barrier around the barricade.

“Kuh… !”

The pain cutting through her body her.

Just now, she is nothing compared to being hit by the sword breaker used by the assassin who introduced herself as Chris.

Exposing the bony parts of her body her, Galatea was struck with pain as if she had hit something hard.

Meanwhile, Gray continued to push Amelia to keep her from Vera Stoll.

“The transfer ability is awkward, but… If it’s a game of speed, you won’t lose!”

As she said, her gray reaction speed was not far behind Vera Stoll’s teleportation magic at all.

In addition, her unnatural movements of hers, which only block Gray’s attacks and seem to only aim for Amelia, make Gray’s ability to predict where she is moving.

Amelia realized that if she moved, she would rather interfere with Gray’s predictions, so she could only stop and watch Cleon and Galatea cut themselves to save him.

Now, if you had a pendant…

At least I can break the barrier magic that’s imprisoning Cleon now…!

However, the power of her holy spirit did not descend to Amelia now, who had no medium of her magical power her.

What is here right now is just one helpless girl.

Amelia is acutely aware.

‘This paladin… It’s a strange black… It seems that he has no will of his own…’

Meanwhile, Gray realizes Vera Stoll’s strangeness to her, but she judges that she can kill Amelia without any emotion.

At least, if we could get Cleon out of the cage and evacuate him-

[Gray. It is recommended to run away the magic core of the brass rat, which was the temporary body of this object, and throw it toward the iron window.]

“What, what!? Do you think I should throw away the things I kept as a souvenir!?”

[It is possible to break the barrier of the iron cage.]

When Gray heard Hermes’ words, she nodded and raised her voice, and then she took out Hermes’original body her from her pocket her without hesitation.

Gray infused the body of the brass rat with the magic power flowing through the blackout suit.

However, while defending against Verastol’s attack on Amelia, the shock caused the brass rat to fall to the ground.

A rattling sound is heard, and the fallen Hermes rolls over to Amelia’s side of her.

Gray called out her name in a timid voice.

“Amelia!”

“Yes Yes!”

Amelia, who heard Hermes’ voice as well, confirmed that the magic core of the brass rat she had received was on the verge of going out of control, and immediately threw the rat at her barricade with all her might.

OK-

Bang! A gigantic magical explosion that occurred while making a sound.

And at the same time, when Galatea, seeing the cracks in the barrier spread across the bars, pours out almost all of her remaining magic power of her and slams herself against her bars of her-

Kwajik! With the sound of breaking glass, the barrier is broken, and the space inside and outside the cage is connected.

However, at the same time, Galatea returns to her sword form again.

Because of Cleon’s physical condition becoming abnormal, her magical energy that should flow into her has also decreased, because she has consumed all of her own magical power due to the destruction of her barrier a moment ago. Was

However, in the aftermath of the explosion, the iron bars also exploded, confirming that there was a hole through which people could pass through, and Amelia quickly moved her body and jumped onto the carriage with Cleon.

After pulling him as hard as he could and pulling him out of the cage, he got under the wagon and called his name her.

“Cleon! Are you okay!?”

“Amel… Lia…”

Amelia tries to get Cleon out somehow, supporting his body her.

However, if Verastol tries to target Amelia again-

“I won’t let it go like that… !”

This time, Gray succeeds in stopping her.

“Aiming only for Amelia..! What a coward! And that ridiculous transfer ability is annoying black! It’s a sword that needs to be done somehow! Hermes!”

[You can grasp the pattern of the metastasis ability and interfere with magical power. … It takes 3 minutes to calculate.]

“It’s too long! It can be done in one minute!”

Hearing Gray’s unreasonable request, Hermes silently starts calculating.

However, one minute was too long for Cleon.

In the meantime, Cleon may cross a river of no return.

If that anxiety continued to overtake Amelia.

What caught suddenly Amelia’s eyes were the figures of citizens who had fled from Otis’ atrocities in front of her.

They saw strange people fighting in the back as well, Princess Amelia outside the cage, and her escort her, the Dark Horse Clan, lying on the ground, bleeding.

I was scared again and tried to run away.

Amelia realizes that she cannot save Cleon on her own and she cries out to everyone around her.

“Please! Someone… ! Help Cleon!”

However, Amelia’s cry does not reach anyone.

Since the’no entry line’of her march is already meaningless, she stretches out her hand toward the citizen running near her.

When her hand her grabs the citizen’s wrist, Amelia is talking.

“Please… Please… ! This person… Save me… !”

However, her citizen her, horrified that her Amelia grabbed her own wrist her, strongly shook her Amelia’s arm and shouted.

“Don’t touch me! Dirty traitor! Wrap around the dark horse clan…!”

“… !”

Amelia looks in shock at her citizen, who has ripped off her own arm her.

Her face was stained with great despair.

“Ah, wasn’t it all because of you and that dark horse clan that today’s march got weird in the first place!?”

“Okay! Wouldn’t the assassins appear… Isn’t the dead empire guy resurrected… ! Shit! You are the devil! It must be the advance force sent by the devil to destroy this kingdom!”

Amelia couldn’t catch the citizen who ran away without looking back while spitting out those words.

Amelia’s hand her fell to the ground with a thump.

As her head her went blank, all the noises surrounding her seemed distant.

“…I, Cleon… Devil… ?”

And. Just what they said was going round and round in my head, making me feel nauseous.

Knowing that everyone despises them, Amelia, Cleon, and Ruba have kept this royal road.

Even though Amelia herself was imprisoned, she felt that if there was anything she could do for herself, it was her duty to accomplish it.

For she loved this country that her own mother loved, and her people her just as her mother her did.

A world where few understanders are enemies.

In such a world, to those who somehow fought with pride in their own mission, what returned to them was unacceptable hatred, even for reasons of ignorance and ignorance.

Amelia’s heart beats fast, her rants against herself, which she would normally be able to shake off easily.

It was a strange story to say that he had become accustomed to it, but he thought that he had already experienced more than enough and knew what the citizens’ gaze toward him was like.

‘The kingdom I was trying to protect… The royal road… The people…’

Every time her heart beats strongly, her magic her overflows from the black crystal flower hidden under her dress her.

“——Amelia!”

When Gray looks back at Amelia, started by the sensation he had once felt-

Black magic power was pouring out like black mud from the vicinity of Amelia’s chest-heart her.

She was betrayed by what she was trying to protect and abandoned by what she believed to be justice.

She had lost her precious teeth, and knew her own powerlessness of her.

This world does not treat kind Amelia kindly.

That is why Amelia made a pact with Cleon.

If she was with the kind Cleon, she would be able to be a kind person herself.

But—even that Cleon collapsed as if being ridiculed by an unkind world.

“Ah… Ah… !! AA AA AA… !!!! No… ! Cleon! You can’t die!!!”

Amelia raised her screaming voice as she covered her face.

Gray was looking at Amelia with her surprised face her.

It was the first time I had ever seen her get so angry, shed tears of anger and despair.

[This… Gray! Get out of here!]

At that time, when Hermes’ voice was heard, Gray said ha!? She yelled at her and screamed at her own partner.

“What kind of dog bone is that!? Where did the princess go, leaving Cleon here!”

[I’ve already gone beyond that level… ! Princess Amelia… Dangerous!]

“──”

The moment after hearing Hermes’ words, he saw that the black mud that flowed from Princess Amelia’s body overflowed to the floor where Gray was standing.

The only thing the mud did n’t touch was Cleon’s body her, which fell right next to Amelia.

As if it had an ego, it was leaking out of Cleon’s body her in all directions.

The moment he touches it, Gray sees the blackout suit covering his body her collapse from there.

“Ugh?! What, what is this…!? Did the princess do it!?”

[Take it off, Nara… ]

Gray panicked, and with the feeling of power draining from his whole body his, and even Hermes’ voice weakened, Gray called his name his urgently.

“!? Hermes!? Hermes!!”

However, Gray tries to stop her by approaching Amelia somehow.

However, that action rather drove Gray into a crisis.

The blackout suit completely disappeared, and as soon as he came into direct contact with the mud, Gray felt a chill that pierced and engulfed him.

It is a muddy stream of black, dark, swirling emotions.

Black and black like despair, anger, sadness and hatred.

It is her true heart that Amelia has so tightly packed and never shown to anyone.

Upon touching it, Gray could feel the mana draining from his body and flowing through the mud towards Amelia.

“Amel, Leah… It is a sword that stops..”

Not only his magical power his, but also vitality and stamina drained away, so Gray’s steps slowed down.

Before long, he collapses to the ground and sinks beneath the mud.

Without missing the timing, Verastol tries to target Amelia again, but-

Caang! And something kicked her body.

It was black magical mud that wriggled like a plant stem.

It flows from Amelia and absorbs Gray’s power her, takes her form her and moves as if to protect Amelia.

Amelia, who had been weeping sadly just before, stopped her crying as if she were an emotionally unstable person, and she pulled the body of Cleon, who had fallen beside her, toward herself.

Her hands were soiled with black mud, but it didn’t stain Cleon’s body her.

Then, as she put Cleon’s head on her lap her, Amelia murmured.

“…—That’s right, I promised. Cleon. … No matter what… No matter how much this world hurts us. If it collapses and breaks there… I hope they want it.”

The time when Cleon promised to be by her side of her.

The terms of the promise he and Amelia shared.

That will never break.

Blaming his own weakness and swallowing it because he couldn’t help it, it was no different from being broken.

He needed strength to show his will his to others.

Why does he always have to sacrifice himself for someone else?

Even if you do such a thing, no one will understand.

What is needed is absolute power.

No matter what anyone says, it is an overwhelming force that can be obeyed while trembling in fear.

As long as he wields a hammer in the guise of a saint princess, he can’t protect Cleon.

[Then… Take away…]

A voice echoed in Amelia’s head.

Meanwhile, Verastol, who flew away, aims for Amelia once again.

She sensed her danger and didn’t have the option of backing down and giving up.

As ordered by Esca, he cannot return to her until she kills Amelia.

So, once again.

The moment he rushed at Amelia with the sword that pierced Cleon.

Amelia uttered an ancient spell, as the voices in her head she told her.

“Apertio-Floris”

In the next moment, the mud that had been spread around gathered around Amelia and wrapped around her body.

It didn’t stop covering her body her, but it was dyed round as if forming a cocoon.

Cleon’s body fell to the ground from the impact, but the crowding mud supported it.

Vera Stoll too, let alone she gets beaten by the mud, and as if she could n’t forgive her as much, she grabs her leg her.

She was the one who tried to get out of her metastasis quickly, but-

Verastol’s body did not move.

It was as if the mud around her was blocking her transition of her.

“──”

Soon after, Amelia’s body her was completely covered in mud—no magic sphere.

The sphere pulsates like a living heart, drawing magic power from the air around it and from the leylines of the royal road, and absorbs it into itself.

In an instant, the surrounding plants were dyed pitch-black – lost their magical power and vitality, and were scattered as ashes.

If you stay in this space for a long time, animals and even humans will face the same end.

And, the absorbed mana is transmitted as it is to Amelia inside.

Before long – if you think that black mass split with a banging sound.

A slender arm protruded from the slimy liquid.

A shell that crumbles like pottery made from hardened mud.

It was like a child protruding from its mother’s belly—a black costume was draped over her body.

Her light purple hair was tied in a side tail, and she had watery red eyes.

And, from the tip of the head to the tip of the toe, a beautiful appearance that seems to have no flaws.

Despite the fact that she was still a young girl, her reddish skin her radiated a sense of enchantment.

“──Whoa… “

She exhaled, as if she had forgotten to hold her breath.

From that voice of hers, and from that her face her, it was an unquestionable fact that she was ‘Amelia Chaldearis’.

Her platinum hair her, her blue eyes her somehow disappeared,

Except for what she was wearing, it was a very revealing black outfit—like a succubus she would wear.

Besides, the weapon she holds in her hand is not the huge battle hammer she always uses-

It seemed a huge scythe that specialized for cutting people’s throats.

There were wings protruding from its back that looked like bat wings, but they were only formed by clumping mud.

If you want, you can change into any form and use it to protect Amelia or pierce your enemies.

Most notable of all was the black crystal in the shape of a flower, which was used to tie her hair into a side tail.

It contained her swirling magical power in her and continued to flow dark magic all over her body.

“… “

And her eyes immediately turned to Vera Stoll, whom she had captured.

From the inside of her red eyes her, drawing endless hatred, when she stretches out her hand her —

She grasps Vera Stoll’s neck her with the slender fingers of both her hands her.

“You… You’re Cleon…!”

“Big, black… Ugh…!”

With her hateful voice and movements of her, she took all of her power her from Vera Stoll’s body her and made it her own her-

Soon, Verastol, like Gray, fell to the ground and disappeared under the mud.

However, as if Amelia had no interest in Vera Stoll, she reached out her hand toward Cleon, who had fallen to the ground, without saying a word.

Then, she directly breathes the life force she absorbed into him, slightly prolonging his body her.

“…Not enough.”

However, that wasn’t enough.

In order to maintain Cleon’s life in her, more vitality was needed.

“How… What is this-“

At that time, it was Eustes who arrived bleeding from his forehead.

It wasn’t a deep wound on her, but look at her bleeding from her hair, dyeing it red from her hair to the top of her eyes.

There must have been a battle between the assassins and the Battle Maies trying to target Cleon and Amelia, taking advantage of the chaos outside.

In the meantime, Eustes came through the road opened by Ruba, who was stranded, and couldn’t close his mouth at the horrors that were happening-

It is to look at the changed Amelia and the Cleon in her hand.

“Ah, Princess Amelia… ? Cleon!?”

“Ah. Eustes. It’s just fine… There’s something I’d like you to help me with-“

When Amelia talked to Eustes as if nothing had happened, Eustes could only be wary of her.

‘Is this really Princess Amelia… ? An aura of dark magic that is stronger than most demons… ‘

But at that moment

“I came because there was a commotion in the back row… What the hell is this?”

When Eustes turns around in surprise at the men’s voices coming from behind.

There, the kingdom’s soldiers were sent by nobles who could no longer ignore the commotion in the back row.

“Oh, Princess Amelia? What is that look! And… The clan of dark horses nominated by Cassius himself…! Could it be that the two of you did this!?”

“That is… “

Even Eustes himself couldn’t know the details of what had just happened, so he tried to make some excuses.

“Whoops… What if?”

At the words of Amelia, who smiled proudly, Eustes had no choice but to shut her mouth her.

“Shit… After all, it’s like the clan of the dark demons, and the lineage of the traitor… ! Princess Amelia! Quietly remove that prank-like magic and surrender!”

When one of the kingdom’s troops tried to get closer with the weapon, Eustes raised his voice at the unusual magic that Amelia felt.

“For a moment! Don’t get close to her!”

Eustes’ words were delayed by a beat.

On the wrist of the kingdom army who reached out to the princess, a black mud line stretched out and entwined itself.

“Ugh, aaaaa!!”

Then, magic and vitality were sucked out of the body of the kingdom army that touched the black stalk, and his body instantly withered away.

“Kuh… !”

If Eusthes manages to wield Mystyl Thein and manage to sever his stem his before he dies.

“What, what is that… ! Could it be that he is a demon!?”

“Shit! Everyone attack at the same time and kill it!”

“Why is it like that… ! No wonder you have to flee with the wounded! Princess Amelia! Stop!”

Eustes tried to stop them, but it was impossible to interrupt dozens of guards by himself.

Even if she tried to wield her holy sword, Amelia leisurely dodged Eusthes’ holy sword her, creating several black stems from her hand her.

It binds all those who were aiming at it while being entangled like iron bars.

“Aagh! What, what is this!”

“Help me!!”

The misjudgment of the soldiers, who had to ask for help from the knight, immediately pushed them into ruin.

In an instant, like mummies, the soldiers were stripped of their vitality and mana.

Feeling indescribable fear, Eustes quickly swung Mistil Thein, created magical needles, and cut off the stalks that attacked the soldiers once more.

However, they had already been deprived of everything and fell to the ground with only their lives attached, and Amelia’s magic power her, which had absorbed that power, seemed to be even greater than before.

“Well, why did you do this… !”

Eustes could not hide his bewilderment and was terrified by the unknown being.

“It’s for Cleon… To save Cleon, we need a lot of mana and vitality.”

She laughed and channeled her powers her, which she had absorbed, by placing her hand on her Cleon her.

Then, while Cleon is cool, he breathes again and opens his eyes.

“Cleon!”

When Eustes sees this, he approaches Cleon and reaches out to raise his body her-

“Under?”

The next moment, Amelia’s voice echoes, and something strikes Eustes.

“Kuh!?”

It was hard to see, but it must have been a muddy stream of magical power controlled by Amelia.

Eustes rolls to the ground with a sudden blow.

Had it not been for Mystil Thein’s help, it would have been absorbed by the mud on the spot.

“Youth, Tess… !”

“Cleon… Glad you woke up…!”

When Cleon, completely awake at the sound of Eustes flying away, called her her name her, Amelia hugged Cleon as if standing between Eustes and Cleon.

“Amel, Leah… What the hell-“

“I decided to keep my promise with Cleon… No matter who she oppresses us and tries to separate us … To face it … See, with this power … There is no need to be confined to such a narrow tower.”

Saying that, Amelia hugged Cleon’s face even tighter in her arms her and whispered.

“… And Cleon… You don’t have to sacrifice yourself anymore to protect me…”

“Amelia, what I said is, that- cool… !”

The next moment, while being held by Cleon’s Amelia, spilling her blood into her.

When Amelia sees Cleon, her eyes her go blank.

After that, she gives more of her magical power and life force she has, and then she raises the Eustace that she blew away.

“Mr. Eustes, I have a favor to ask.”

“Kuh… Princess Amelia. Please, mind…”

Eustes tries to bring Amelia back to normal, but her Amelia’s ears seem to hear differently.

“… Hey, Mr. Eustes. Are you also dismissing me as royalty with traitorous blood?”

“—What?”

Kwajik! With a thump, one of her wings her deformed and struck her hard against the ground.

“I’m asking if you can’t hear my orders. Eustes.”

“… “

Amelia asks herself in a strong tone.

It was indeed a voice full of the dignity of royalty, but it was that of a tyrant, not a saint.

When Eustes is shocked and quiet, Amelia speaks with a grin.

“From now on, I will go around gathering life force and magic power to heal Cleon. In the meantime, Mr. Eustes wants you to protect Cleon in a safe place. I think it would be nice to work with Lubera!”

At Amelia’s words, Eustes alternately looks at Cleon’s condition and Amelia.

─If it is original.

If you are a hero whose mission is to wield a sword to protect many people.

Compared to the life of her colleague her, Cleon, and the number of people who would be sacrificed for what Amelia was about to do from now on, she would have had to save more.

However-

“…I understand, Princess Amelia.”

“Eustes… !”

When Cleon calls Eustes by name, Amelia smiles and hands Cleon’s body to Eustes.

“… Kuh… “

Even from the outside, Cleon’s condition seemed serious, and Eustes couldn’t hide his painful expression of her.

“… Eustes, stop her, her… “

“Quietly. Cleon. …Now you only think about surviving.”

After telling Cleon, Eustes walks away from Amelia.

“Ugh… ! Eustes!!”

When Cleon raises his voice, Eustes pushes Cleon against the wall while talking.

“Calm down! Cleon! He knows very well that leaving her alone is dangerous!”

“…Then-“

“But there is no way you can stop her from abandoning her!”

Cleon shut his mouth at Eustes’ words in her.

“Listen, Cleon. … In order for her to return to normal, your body must first be healed. Then, she will stop absorbing her mana and life force her. … In the meantime, let’s leave it to Miss Aruru and Ruba.”

“… “

Cleon touched his wound her with his hand her at Eustes’ words her.

The wound that didn’t stop bleeding didn’t seem to heal with normal methods.

“Then. Let’s go to the temple if that’s-“

Of course, because the temple is the fastest to heal wounds, Cleon grabs Eustes’ arm when he tries to go to the temple.

“No. …No temples.”

“… “

Cleon reminds me of Verastol. I don’t know what happened, but the temple was no longer a trustworthy place.

“…But even for the royal capital’s councilors, there are few places open today. …I don’t know if it’s a wound that can be treated at the clinic in the first place…”

Cleon nods his head.

In the midst of my mind, I heard the story of Galatea and Hermes.

Berastol’s weapon was poisoned.

Suddenly, when he remembered that fact, he couldn’t help but think of Gray being defeated by Amelia while protecting them.

Besides, even now, Lyla and Lubera – communication through imprinting doesn’t work properly.

‘Grey… Lila… Please be safe…!’

Even for him, he needed to heal his body as soon as possible.

Poison – A person who is knowledgeable about poison.

If it wasn’t a common poison, it would be assassins who would use this kind of poison.

With his trembling hands her, Cleon, who had gone mad in his thoughts her, took out what was in his pocket her and handed it to Eustes.

“…This.”

Eustes accepts what Cleon gave him.

“—This one?”

Eustes tilted his head at what appeared to be a coin made of a special metal.

Cleon speaks.

“…I have to go to the antique store, Adamant.”

While talking like that, he was supported by Eustes.

“…Antique store- No, it’s definitely not an ordinary place. Okay. Tell me where it is. …Until then, I’ll try to slow the deterioration of your wounds as much as possible with my Mystyltain.”

“…Youth, Tess… Thank you… Please…”

Cleon talks to Eustes and loses his mind again.

Eustes looked at Cleon and was silent for a while, then hardened his heart and carried him on his back.

Being a woman, though the difference in her physique was greater now, due to her shrinking body her.

It seemed that if she strengthened her body with her magical powers her, she would somehow be able to move him.

“…Be patient with me, Cleon!”
