Chapter 343 – Nihilism.

Usher felt his body tremble. She thought maybe she would see her again. He was still determined not to run away and to fight back, but when he faced him directly like this, let alone raise a weapon, he couldn’t even utter a word because his heart felt frozen in the cold air. My limbs were shaking all the time, and I couldn’t put any strength into it.

“Kuh, you still look like a bitch.

It was a time when I got goosebumps from his ridicule and his judgmental look.

“Hmm? Did you cut your hair?”

Usher was barely able to come to his senses as his gaze reached his hair and he opened his mouth.

“Did you cut his hair?”

Before departing for Parz. Rachel also talked about his short hair.

“Yes, Erica cut it.”

Usher decides to join the rescue team alone, before Erica gets upset. She ran her hand through Usher’s hair as she laid him on her lap and opened her mouth.

“Usher, isn’t your hair too long?”
“Come to think of it, it’s been a long time.”

He heard the girl’s story belatedly and realized the stinging feeling of her hair prickling his neck. He didn’t care, and his hair, which had reached his shoulders, was slipping past his shoulders. Erica stroked his hair for a while.

“Aha ♪ Shall I cut it?”
“Erika?”

Usher asked in surprise when the girl offered to cut her hair. When she was in Lantua, Belka used to cut his hair herself, but for some reason Erica said she would cut it because something felt awkward about her.

“Bout, what are you saying? You believe in Verdi but you don’t believe in me?”

She looked down at Usher, puffing out her cheeks.

“Oh, no. It’s not like that. I’m nervous for some reason.”

If it were Erica, she would cut it well, but for some reason she seemed like she was playing with his hair. She was even more anxious to know that she was a huge prankster unlike Belka. But maybe she didn’t like his story, Erica put on an even more dissatisfied expression, then smiled.

“Huh~ Okay ♪ If you don’t believe me that much, I’ll show you that I can do just as well as Verdi ♪”
“Wait a minute! Erica! I’m still ready!”
“Hee hee♪ It’s okay. I’ll take care of everything? Usher just needs to be comfortable.”

Catch up! As if threatening, Erica folded and unfolded holding her scissors, which she pulled out from somewhere.

“Where did you get the scissors!?”
“Did you give it to Diana?”
“… Were you thinking of cutting her hair in the first place?”
“Aha ♪”

She then stood Usher upright and cut her hair. Crunchy, could the girl’s hand cut her hair go wrong? The cool feel of the scissors was terrifying, but luckily Erica had cut his hair properly.

“It suits you. You look a little manly now.”
“I was originally a man…”

I hear Jude’s voice along with the memories of Rachel’s compliments being shy and brusque.

“It would have been better if I had kept it as it was. Even a man would have thrown it to those who would attack it.”

Usher said he was glad Erica had cut her own hair. Otherwise he could have gone through even more terrible things. But that slight relief was short-lived.

“But it’s strange. Why can’t I see Belka?”
“Ugh!”

The questioning voice made me realize that Jude wasn’t just talking to him. He was constantly checking his surroundings, looking for Belka.

“The magic is used normally. There is no feeling of being canceled at all.”

The light spread brightly as he raised the light in his hand. The light that started from his hand shone brighter as it rose into the sky, drove away the stars that came to play in the night sky with light, and colored the sky, driving away even the moon.

-Kiriririk
-Kiruk!

When the day suddenly came in the middle of the night, the Gusakraptors who were hiding in the shadows were startled and seemed to be moving away from this place. When Usher took advantage of the gap and looked toward the collapsed wagon, he saw Hildisbini collapsed and whimpering. Hildisbiny also looked like an infinitely weak herbivore in front of the wizard. However, there was no time to care about the surroundings anymore.

“I’m sure you said that if you didn’t bring Belka, you would ruin Parz.”

His cold voice choked his throat. He only got magic as a paladin. My body stiffened with fear and I couldn’t move. After all, what does magic mean?

“There are more than one or two strange things. Why did another paladin come with you instead of Krikaliev?”

If you want to defeat me, what better way than to bring him?

“It’s strange. It’s strange.”

His murmurs penetrated Usher’s ears, frightening him madly. It was to the point of questioning how such a malicious existence could exist, but the most frightening thing was.

“…Could it be that Krikaliev is dead?”

It was his way of thinking that I couldn’t understand. How on earth did it suddenly come to the conclusion that Yakaf was dead? It’s even more frightening because it’s true.

“But it’s strange. If he died because he was betrayed by his colleagues, there’s no way the Paladins would have brought you back.”

Jacob’s statement that the reason Jude is really scary is not because he’s a wizard didn’t come close to me. Suddenly, Usher realized that his words were no longer being followed, and his gaze froze.

“Kuh, ahahahaha!!! Could it be that you broke a taboo yourself? Really, that’s ridiculous!”

He was laughing as if he was having the most fun.

“Yeah, then it fits perfectly. The paladin came with you. The weather suddenly turned cold.”

Seeing Jude enjoying the fact that Yakaf was dead made Usher furious, but he still continued.

“Keukeuk, could it be because of that monster that was sealed under the Holy Land? I really thought that the most troublesome guy would make good news like this.”

What came to mind was the image of the black golem that had killed Belka. Could it be that the monster was sealed under the Holy Land?

‘But that’s it.’

It was when Usher felt a sense of incongruity. As he looked at Jude, startled by the presence in front of him, he pointed the tip of his finger to his forehead. His body stiffened as he knew what it meant.

“It makes things simpler. If he’s dead, he’ll have to find out Belka’s location himself.”

Jude’s fingertips drew light and bit his lip at the shape of the letters being created. Will it really end like this?

“‘Perth’. Now, tell me. Where is Belka?”

In response to his question, the moment you stay still without saying anything. Usher wondered. Why isn’t he doing anything? It seemed that Jude felt the same way.

“What? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

At those words, Usher came to mind. The fact that Jacob and Gideon also talked about. That a wizard cannot directly influence a paladin. As soon as Usher realized that, day came and checked the shape of the rapier submerged in the water and swung the rapier to cut off Jude’s finger that was pointing at his forehead, but Jude immediately stepped back and avoided cutting his finger. .

“Did you really drink the water from the Holy Grail? You took such a gamble to get that ridiculous power.”

He seemed to immediately realize what Usher was up to.

“It can’t be helped. Then how about cutting off your limbs and bringing them in front of Belka? ‘Ansuz'”
– Wow!

As he whipped out another word with his fingers, Usher felt the wind rushing towards him. It’s hard to explain, but just like that sharp blade, let’s put up a shield right away at the frightful sound of the gong! And the shock of ringing your fingertips. The invisible swords hurt as if they had hit the shield, and I almost missed the shield.

“Keukhak!”

But that alone has come to its limit. He tried to hold on somehow, but he was shocked and pushed back, and he was able to stop being pushed only after a mangrove tree hit his back. In the end, he can hear Jude’s footsteps walking ahead with the sound of lapping water.

“You’ve calmed down now. Quickly guide me to where Belka is.”

Usher was devastated that it couldn’t be, but he clenched his teeth and didn’t answer. Because at a time like this, he thought he had to find a way somehow. But time was short.

“It’s good if you don’t tell me. I have no choice but to pick you up and go find you. ‘Ingus'”

He looked down in surprise at the sensation of something tying his hands and feet, and saw the trunks of mangrove trees moving and growing like animals, wrapping around his hands and feet. When you really thought it was over.

– Huung!

Along with the faint sound of the wind, I could see the triangular sword slashing behind Jude.

“The knights are all tough and unmatched.”

However, the triangular sword could not properly damage Jude.

“Nyaang, Jude is too good.”
“Catsy?”

That’s because the sword that had hit Jude’s neck was intercepted and bounced off somewhere. Behind Jude was Catsy, Sheeta, whom Usher had seen before.

“It won’t mean anything if it touches my body anyway, but if there’s another case like Krikaliev, it’ll be troublesome. I’ll have to deal with you in advance.”

Did Kane think that he had no choice but to lift his finger and show signs of using magic?

– Hwareuk!
“Nyaa?!”

He also showed magic by raising flames. It was a magic that he had refrained from because it could be caught by a wizard, but it didn’t matter as long as he was already caught. When Sheeta, startled by the sudden burst of flame, tried to hit him with his shield, Kane slashed the shield with the gauntlet in his right hand, pointing his wrist at Sheeta.

“Nyaaaaa!!”

Fuck! At the same time, the blade that came out of the gauntlet stabbed Sheeta in the shoulder, and it was the moment when the reddish blade raised smoke.

“‘Raguz'”

Water surged from her bottom to protect her, as if to cool off her heat of burning her sheeta.

“What is it? How are you using your magic?”

Jude’s voice interrupted to tell him it was him, but for some reason there was a mixture of doubt and disapproval in his voice. What the heck was he doing, Usher couldn’t figure out.

“What are you talking about? I’m sure you know that paladins also know how to use magic, right?”

Kane also didn’t seem to know why Jude was doing that.

“I can’t help it. You guys have to step in too.”
“What?!”

A spear flies in from the mangrove forest and stabs Kane in the back. Obviously, a spear came out from Usher’s side, but he was startled because he didn’t even feel it behind him. Fortunately, Kane spilled the spearhead with his armor and struck it off with his triangular sword, but Sheeta immediately pushed him back with his sword and shield. That wasn’t the end.

– Wedges! Ting!
“Arrow?”

Hearing the sound of something flying from somewhere, Kane struck it with his gauntlet sword, revealing its true identity. But everyone could see that it was merely a warning.

“Now, do you think you’ll be quiet?”

It was because from the shade of the mangrove forest, at first glance, dozens of Cattsy were aiming at themselves with spears, swords, and bows. From the start, Jude wasn’t alone in welcoming them.

“Tsk.”

In the end, Kane threw the triangular sword to the ground and stuck it. Even though he was a paladin, he couldn’t do anything about a wizard with dozens of soldiers. Realizing that Usher couldn’t help it, as he cleared his resentment, Jude looked at Kane, still questioning.

“No matter how you think about it, it’s strange. I blocked you from using magic. Why did you use magic normally?”
“What are you talking about…”

But Jude was still saying things he didn’t know why, so it was about the time when the doubts only grew. Another catsy who came from somewhere told Jude.

“Jude. I found another female nearby.”
“Hmm?”

At her words, Jude looked at her as if he was interested, and Sheeta trembled at her startled.

“Bring it.”
“Yes.”

And when she beckons to a catsy, he comes to this place with a small struggling figure. Upon confirming who it was, Usher couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Ugh! Let go of this!”
“Erika!?”

Because there was definitely a girl who couldn’t be here.
