Chapter 35 – Parting Always Comes Unexpectedly (2)

Episode 35 Parting always comes unexpectedly (2)

“Keugh!”

Part of Marianne’s defense was shattered by the unexpected big attack.
Shit!
Isn’t this Alberic’s special move, ‘Sword of Judgment’?!
They said they used it to assassinate the demon lord, so they blow it up on us?!

“Hey you crazy bastard!!
Do not shoot here!!!”

Regardless of this, Alberic’s wide-area skills rushed again.

Kuaang! Kwak!

“Master, get down!”

I was wondering if it was okay to show him using a shield in front of Alberic.
Rebekah presses her blade against her body and spreads her shield.

Kugoong! Kugoong!

You can feel the ground tremble with your whole body as you attack so fiercely.

This is Alberic’s skill… ?
It’s more amazing than I thought… ?!

“Charge!”

Haha!!
I am going to the black sun today!!!!”

The Berserker idiots transcend the limitations of the body.
Even though his arm was cut off, and his leg was cut off, he went against the waves of light to decapitate Alberic.

Each of the soldiers was a berserker with longevity-level attack power, and Alberic was slicing radishes as if slicing radishes while charging.

“Let’s escape into the chapel!”

At the cry of the Royal Knights officer, everyone gets up and runs to the chapel.

“Rebekah, wake up! We too…”

That moment.
The arrows lodged in Rebekah’s belly and side slowly enter my eyes.
And… The traces of the waves of light scratching his side.

“Lee… B?”

“Captain, you must go quickly!”

Zach, who was right next to him.

“Zach, let’s support each other!
Rebekah was beaten!”

“This! Freckles! Be patient!”

Supporting Rebekah with Jacques, they entered the chapel where Marianne was shielding herself.

Pew! Bang!

“Nice… Awesome!
Mr. Alberic!
Calm down!”

Alberic’s wide-area magic was exploding here and there on Marianne’s defense shield spread at the entrance of the chapel.

“Zach!
Go inside the chapel and bring the priests!”

“Yes!”

Zach rushes off, and I take out a recovery medicine and a hemostatic agent from inside my arms.

“Rebekah, be patient!”

Damn it!
It’s because of me…
I was hit by an arrow while wrapping myself twice earlier, and I was brushed by Alberic’s sword of judgment!!

“Cheuk! Master… Cool!”

“Rebekah! It’s okay, don’t tell me!”

Bleeding too much
Apply hemostatic agent to the wound,
Pour the recovery medicine into her mouth,
Even though I press the wound with the bandage I brought, the bleeding does not stop.

Why?
Why are you doing this?
This drug… I can’t hear you?!

“Here, this is a joke!”

The priest, who collapsed next to Liv because of Zach’s throw, immediately began to pray.

But the bleeding doesn’t stop.
No way… ?
I tore the clothes on my back where the arrow had pierced.

“My God, Captain! It is a poisoned arrow!”

“… !”

Somehow, the playback didn’t go well!

“Hey, priest!
Do you know how to use a shield?!”

“Yes? Yes!”

“Switch with the saintess right away!
Ego ark!!!
Bring all the priests!”

Kwak! Thud! Pew!

The front of the chapel is completely different from a battlefield.
The demon soldiers who were attacking us poured forbidden drugs into their mouths without sacrificing themselves, and the demon wizards began to use advanced magic such as Hellfire.

“Here, I brought you!”

“Priests!
A shield to stop that madman! Hurry!”

Alberic’s wide-area skill was more of a problem than the demon soldier’s attacks.
What kind of guy has so many grenades?!
Doesn’t this bastard know what aim is?

“Marie, how is the situation?!”

“… Not good.
I’m already bleeding too much… !
It regenerates too slowly because it is both neutralizing poison and recovering!”

Rebekah’s lips turned blue and her face turned white.

“Main… Innim, cool, cool!”

“Rebekah!
Do not say!
Bleeding profusely!”

Now, perhaps because the poison has spread, he vomits blood from his mouth.
Damn it! Damn it!
My hand trembles as I pour the regenerative medicine on the wound.

I suddenly remember the day when Jacques and Ludwig attacked me.
… The day passed safely too!
A groundless hope that this wound will be healed miraculously raises its head.

“Lord, Master… I really love…”

“Yes, I love you too!
So don’t die!”

“Lol… Cool, master…
You know what… ?
Say you love me… Cool! You did it first…”

“Okay, I’m sorry, so don’t tell me!!”

I carefully lifted Rebekah’s head and placed it on my lap.

… Saying I love you is not something you say lightly.
So I’ve never done that.

Now… I feel like I have to do something.
I think you’ll regret it if you don’t.

“Hehe, thanks to the master… Being loved so much… Good…”

“Rebekah, hold on a little longer!”

The light from Marianne’s hand continues to flow into Rebekah’s wound, but the flow of her blood is too slow to abate.

“Oh, Marie… Take good care of the master…
Instead of me… Please protect me…
Master too, Mari… Please.
It’s a demon… Humans and each other… Don’t hate…”

“Rebekah, don’t say that!
The rest of us can talk about it after we’re all healed!”

Sweat dripped from Marianne’s forehead.

“I’d rather take out the arrow… !”

“No!
Then the bleeding gets worse!”

“But, it’s a poisoned arrow?!”

“I have already lost too much blood!
You could die from shock while drawing an arrow, or from excessive blood loss!”

Like a beggar, when I pulled out the poison arrow and stopped the bleeding, I ended up dying from excessive bleeding.
Let’s restore it as it is, but the remaining poison from the poison arrow continues to interfere with the treatment.

Moreover, when Alberic’s special move broke Marianne’s defenses, it cut through Rebekah’s side, causing her to bleed twice as much.

“… It’s okay!
The place where the ‘sword of judgment’ hit her side stopped bleeding!
It can even play!”

“Master… I was happy because…”

“Then!
So do i!
Rebekah, it’s almost done!”

“Hehe, master too… If you’re happy because of me… Envy you.
As a human being, don’t push me away…”

“Well, then!
I’m happy and I’m alive!!
Be patient!”

“Marie, you served the master instead of me…”

Now, if you stop the bleeding at the area hit by the arrow…

“Almost done!
Let’s be patient!
… Liv?”

At one point, Rebekah is speechless.
Rebekah’s hand touches the floor of Tuuk.

I can’t.
Rebekah’s hand is cut off.
I took Rebekah’s hand.
It’s cool.
Pulse… Does not exist.

“Lee… B’s? Liv?”

Rebekah is smiling softly with her eyes closed.
Look, I’m laughing to surprise you!
Wow, were you really surprised?!
I almost forgot!
This guy’s acting is pretty good!
I’m going to have to scold you later.

“Black… Big… Camus…”

Marianne stopped her treatment without knowing my speed.
All I could do was shut her mouth up as tears dripped from her eyes.

“What are you doing, Marie?
Hurry up and treat it!”

“Black… Hehe… Rebekah… !”

“What are you doing!
Liv fainted for a second because she was sick!
Need to be treated soon… !”

Take the pulse again
Cool and quiet
Put your finger under her nose.
There is no feeling.

“Sobbing… Big! Rebekah… !”

“No… Liv?
I need to open my eyes…
Why are your hands so cold… ?”

Afraid that Rebekah might be cold, I held her hand tightly.
Blow her breath into your hand.
… It never gets warm

“… Leader.”

Jacques is quiet and heavy.
He shook his head.

… Why?
What?
What?
Why are you shaking your head?

“Number of animals… Method… Doesn’t exist?”

“Hey… Black… !”

Marianne puts her hands over her mouth.
Tears streamed down her eyes and she nodded.

[Hehe, Master. I like my master the best in the world.]

[Would your parents be sad if they heard that?]

[Hey… They both died when they were young…
So I joined hands with Marie and entered the convent.]

Rebekah, a lonely child.
A person who has lived with Marianne and depended on each other.

[The owner is a really nice person.]

[It’s not. Bad
You are deceived.]

[Sheesh, say no!
At least when I volunteered as a refugee, I felt sincerity!]

[That’s hypocrisy.
I made them widows and orphans.]

[… It’s a war.
Is there anyone who wants to take responsibility for that?
Is that an enemy too?
Even when I was young, there were people who helped me, so I grew up like this.
So, I want to be good to my children.
As much as I was helped, no more than that.]

I know how to be grateful for the love I received,
A person who gives more than he receives.

[Master, if you look at Marie more than me, I hate it.
I mean, I’m jealous. Joy!]

I knew you would be jealous like a spittle

[Sleep more.]

The person who smiled and tried to take care of me like an adult.
More than anything…

[I believe in the sun god, but I wish there were no temples.
Why is killing and stealing, whether human or demonic, sacred in the name of God…
God taught you to love.
There are many gifts in the world.
Like Marianne, the gift of healing.
Some have the gift of tongues.
The gift of interpreting tongues.
The gift of seeing the future.
But the greatest of them all is the gift of love.
That’s why I believe in the sun god.
Even if you don’t believe in the sun god, I want you to believe that love can change many things.
Only love
Because that alone is my hope.]

“… The most innocent of us died first.”

“Leader…”

Zach’s hand on my shoulder can’t be that heavy.

“Hey… ! Black…
Rebekah!”

Marianne ended up weeping.
Her hair is hot
Her heart is hot
His hands are hot
I want to blow it all up.

“Captain…
I know your heart, but… You must give instructions.
What now?”

“…”

Zach shakes his shoulders with both hands.
Terribly unrealistic
It’s not my shoulder, it’s someone else’s shoulder.
The world was like a painting, like a third world I was just looking into.

“… Leader!
Calm down!
Sorry, but nothing is done yet!”

“…”

I barely raise my head and look left and right.
Everything slowly comes into view.
It seems like all the sounds are coming from far away while submerged in the water.
Just hum
I can’t hear you very well.

Priests gathered and put up a shield at the entrance of the chapel, and stretched their arms while wrestling with each other.
Some royal knights rushed to the front door of the chapel, opened the closed chapel door, and called for reinforcements.

The royal knights enter through the open door and struggle with the paladins and mercenaries guarding the entrance.

On the other side of the shield, Alberic dances like crazy and unleashes wide-area skills.
Almost at the same level, crazy demonic soldiers collide.

Now, the demonic soldiers are systematically leading the many-on-one battle, but they are on the defensive due to the surprise attack in the early stages and the difference in their capabilities.

If reinforcements arrive now, they will be suppressed.
I had to make a decision.

“Damn it!
Leader!
Calm down!
We need an iron mask corps commander, not an herbalist right now!!!”

Grab my collar and grab Zach’s arm as he yells.

“… Jacques, call Ludwig.
Lead the soldiers and enter.
Check the faces of the assailants and collect items to prove their identity.
Weapons, accessories, documents…
Anything is fine.”

“Yes!”

“… Marie, cover Jacques and Ludwig.
Alberic, that bastard, he’s wiping it out without even paying attention to his allies.”

Due to Alberic’s wide-area fire, the Royal Knights were hardly able to enter.

“Black… Hehe…”

Marianne, too, in her sorrow, cries as she hugs her sleeping Rebekah on my lap.

Ludvik, who ran with Jacques, hesitated when he saw Rebekah, nodded, and ran to the battlefield.

“Marie, I am so sorry.
Jacques and Ludwig are in danger.
We need to act now to find and catch the guys who did this to Rebekah.
… Go ahead and protect me.”

When he said it while stroking Marianne’s back, Marianne shook her legs and stood up.

“… I can’t forgive you. Alberic, Philip.
And those who made this… !”

Marianne bites her lower lip, stares straight ahead with her eyes stronger than ever before, and runs out.

I picked her up and laid her down on a bench in the corner of the chapel.
And I put my mantle over Rebekah, who had her eyes closed.

Tak tok tok!

I ask the priest next to the chapel exit to take care of me for a while, and I run to the battlefield.

… I can’t forgive either.
Philip. Alberic. A traitor within the Demon King’s Army.
And… I don’t know why, but I think it’s hiding behind this thing.

I will never let go
I’ll rip open your stomach and chew on your raw liver.
In front of your eyes.
