Chapter 150 – When Flames Shed Tears (04)

“Of course, that is only if you are a good lady who keeps her promises. And this person is too dangerous.”

“It’s dangerous?”

“It is the most dangerous because it is shaking the young lady’s heart.”

“Don’t be funny… If Aren wasn’t there…!”

At those words, Hong Il-jeom, one of your henchmen, said with a grin.

“Yes. I know very well that the reason she survived, unlike other test subjects, was because she endured the pain with the thought of protecting this silver-haired boy. However, since the bloodline has already been completed, there is no need for It anymore, right?”

“…”

“Ignore this bitch’s words. Lady, if you surrender now, I will petition the duke to spare the silver-haired boy.”

In response to the words of a confidant who had been with Ophelia for a long time, who wore a crystal mask, Ophelia lowered her posture and spoke as if to cover me.

“The duke saves someone whose need has ended?”

“I could give it to you as a gift for the young lady while keeping it alive like a pet. Even if it’s just that much, the duke…”

“Do you think I’ll just wait and see?”

“…You are very greedy.”

In the end, battle with your henchmen was inevitable.

If it were 1:1, Ophelia would have the upper hand, but now there were four of them trying to attack Ophelia with all their might her.

“You can’t kill me anyway, right? I’m the only surviving completed bloodline.”

“It’s pathetic that you’re using yourself as a hostage. But if you do not know something, your body her her is so well-made that you wouldn’t die if you cut off her limbs and carried her away.”

“Then…Try it.”

There is no strength in the body.

I wanted to put on the [Shadow Mask] And use the [Shadow Enchantment Art] To move, but I was strangled just now and felt like I had broken something wrong or something, so I felt no strength in my body.

‘No. ‘It’s dangerous’

The friends of Class F were trying to escape from the training ground by crawling, but if they couldn’t escape from there, it wouldn’t be surprising if they got caught up in the battle between Ophelia and the four henchmen and died at any time.

Seri and several female students, who quickly came to their senses under the protection of Gordon and Kay, dragged Marian, who had fainted, out of the training ground. As soon as Kay and Gordon came to their senses, they immediately crawled to escape the training hall, while Marian fell with a sword stuck in her back. I was desperately protected by Ophelia.

“Don’t do this…!”

Now, as the ultimate enslavement group and her duke’s orders her her her fight, Ophelia, unable to use her abilities properly, is instantly pushed back and is covered in wounds.

She tried to emit flames, but something was wrong with her body and it did not manifest properly, so she ended up having to inflict her wounds on the weapons wielded by the four henchmen with her own arms and legs.

Sigh!

Even now, she opened her mouth as if she felt sorry for the henchman wearing a crystal mask, who had carved out so deep a cut in Ophelia’s right hand that the bones on the back of her hand were visible.

“Miss. Do you still not know? Why can’t you use flames now?”

“…”

“The Duke knows everything. Therefore, if you do not follow his orders, it is possible for him to take back the abilities he gave you.”

They just put a safety device in place to make it difficult to say that if you don’t cooperate with the operatives, your abilities will decline.

“The duke has given the young lady the final test. Whether or not her heart will be swayed by that humble play.”

“So either capture them all, or kill them all.”

“If the young lady continues like this and runs away, the duke will be angry, right?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“The mental contamination is serious.”

The voice of the man wearing the crystal mask became cold, as if he would no longer accept Ofelia’s complaints.

“Anyway, the body has been completed, so the mind can be erased. The combat ability will be somewhat reduced, but if the bloodline is so perfectly completed, it will be powerful even if it fights with instinct alone.”

“Shall I kill you?”

“Disassemble it and take it. The duke said that just the body is enough.”

Ophelia’s strength her was fading, and your henchmen were now thinking of killing her outright and using her corpse her.

‘No more… Dangerous…’

Waaaaa–!!

At that time, a sound of hope, not despair, was finally ringing out.

Did I take my time well?

“Punish the traitors! Don’t spare a single one!!”

A familiar voice rang out, the voice of the men and women who escorted us every time we went out on a mission.

Due to the duke’s surprise attack, they burned down the residences of the guards living inside and took care of the original guards, but they could not deal with the guards who were out in the nearby village, so they requested support to protect the Celestial Academy . The dispatched troops are paying for their meals for the first time in a long time.

“Tch!”

“Break a way out.”

As the soldiers’ shouts were heard, the wall built by the Duke’s soldiers surrounding the training ground collapsed, and the academy guards and royalist soldiers who had been dispatched outside came for support and a battle began.

“We must retreat! Even if the soldiers throw us away, we…”

“No, you go first! You retreat and I take over!”

Of the four henchmen, the remaining three began to slowly retreat, using the soldiers as shields, but only the henchman wearing the crystal mask held on to Ofelia’s ankles until the end.

He was targeting me thoroughly, and Ophelia used her body as a shield to protect me, but in the end, she had to give him one of her arms.

“Huh!”

The moment Ophelia’s arm was cut, she spewed flames to buy time and started running away, grabbing me.

“Waaah!”

“Pfft!”

Because of that slight gap, the guards rushed in and started attacking the henchman, and although he eventually knocked down several of his soldiers, he had no choice but to retreat without being able to pursue Ophelia and me.

“It’s an emergency! Come back and secure the young lady!!”

We will try to bring your henchmen back, but if we hide among the Academy teachers and soldiers who are now supporting us, it will not be easy for them to attack me and Ophelia.

‘I lived’

The moment I saw the royalist soldiers and the academy teachers running to guide them, I breathed a sigh of relief.

‘No, this… Is dangerous’

When my instincts began to detect and warn me of the deadly force emanating from them, I could no longer feel relieved.

“It’s there, it’s there!”

“You bastards! You’re reviving a forbidden bloodline!”

However, her appearance, with her horns growing and fire spewing out from her body, was a threatening sight to the academy guards and royalist soldiers, so immediately dozens of magics flew towards her and me.

She wraps me around, as if during her her first practice her her her, she saw the [Star Magic] Used by Alice and held me in her her arms her her her her to save me.

“…Ophi…Lia…”

He could survive if he received treatment at the temple.

No, the temple… Will it be safe?

‘Priestess Beace, Teacher Rebecca, and Chris… Would have been attacked by now…’

Due to this attack, the Academy’s temple collapses, and the related characters are scattered.

Above all, since it was the authority of the temple that threatened their lineage, that is, the demonic lineage, the temple suffered tremendous damage due to the duke’s thorough attack…

‘Everyone… I hope you can evacuate safely…’

“Aren. Aren? Don’t lose your mind.”

“I didn’t…” “I lost it…” “

“You’re not going to die, right?”

“Okay… I guess…”

“Okay. So…”

With one hand, she opened the lid of a sewer that was too big for a human to lift and put me there.

The sewer, which was supposed to be full of sewage, was now full of human blood, so much so that it was better to be full of sewage.

“Keep your promise this time too.”

“This time… ?”

“You kept the promise you made last time, right? So… You can call me too greedy, so please keep it one more time this time.”

Last time. Next…

The moment I heard those words, I knew what the last conversation I had with Aren was when I defeated Ophelia in the first round.

‘Next time, don’t give up on me’

Ophelia’s request she became a public offering to her friends and she was burned to death countless times. And in accepting that, I lost all my other friends except Marian.

So, in the first episode, we faced a bitter ending.

“You…Who…”

“I am ‘Ophelia’. The first day I entered the academy…”

Ophelia answered me with an overwhelmed expression, as if she was remembering that time for a moment.

“My ‘Aren’ gave me the name myself. I thought about it for a long time.”

That day was not the day I remember.

I didn’t name myself or Ophelia during the second session.

When she asked, ‘Who am I?’ On the other side of the screen, I remembered the name she had given me after much thought, and which she accepted with joy.

But that was the story from the first episode.

“You… You… No way…”

Because my name her and then her name her her were not entered at first.

And sometimes, the look on your face that somehow misses something is…

“Same as you…”

Ophelia, like me, is going through the second episode with her memories from the first episode… Was that something like that?

“I’m glad you didn’t give up on me this time. So…”

Carefully, he places his lips on mine.

I might get burned by her, her, her body heat her, her at any moment, so be very careful.

“I must survive.”

Bang!

With the feeling of Ophelia’s warm lips moving away, I reached my limit and lost consciousness.

The moment I opened the sewer gate made for drainage, I was caught in the blood and began to drift away.

– Kill the cursed bloodline! Don’t hand it over to the duke! –

– Retrieve the lady! The Duke will reset it again!! –

“Ophelia…”

You remembered it from the first time.

So, because he thought he would be abandoned this time too…

Even though she resigned herself to the fact that she would not be protected, she continued to work hard for me until the end.

‘I didn’t even know the contents of the promise…’

I ended up abandoning Ophelia twice like that.

Once voluntarily, and once voluntarily.

Someone rescued me as I was being swept away through the academy’s drainage ditch to a nearby village.

“Brother! Isn’t the one floating here in the water our master?”

“Master? Where where? No, it’s really you!”

“There’s blood on your back… Are you still alive?”

“What should I do?”

“What should we do? We need to get the herbs right now and bring them alive!”

I opened my eyes for a moment when I felt someone carrying me.

‘…[Beginner Slave No. 1]…’

The last time I caught a glimpse of the name of the female thief carrying me, I completely lost consciousness.
