41. The Wife Might Be Gone! (Monthly Ticket Request at the Beginning of the Month~)
【Claudilus is hiding in the body of Extra A, infiltrating Lin Ke’s group!】
The sudden situation made me unable to check the reason in the script, because just a moment ago, the “danger event” in Ke Fei Er and Lei Ti’s script became increasingly specific, and I already knew: this danger did not come from within; it was not some guardian beast suddenly jumping out from the altar, but rather… from the outside! It was not the “trial” obtained during the main line, but pure danger!
It was Nilu’s “fairies”!
I immediately wanted to stop the extra who suddenly dashed out from Lin Ke’s entourage, his behavior clearly abnormal, but just as I was about to grab him, this man, who seemed possessed, suddenly went limp! At the same time, a purple fairy flew out from his eyes!
That was… the fairy closest to Nilu, and the one who previously harbored the deepest hatred for Ke Fei Er in the Great Ying Empire—Chaos Fairy Claudilus!
【Claudilus entered the ruins to attack Ke Fei Er and Lei Ti!】
Not directed at me, but a danger script aimed at Ke Fei Er and Lei Ti! This was indeed Nilu’s doing! But, isn’t Claudilus a fairy? The altar ruins do not allow fairies to enter; she should…
However, in the next moment, as if she could see through my thoughts, Claudilus, floating in the air and rushing towards the ruins, shot me a frenzied glance and a cold smile.
“Naive human, you must have forgotten whose empire this really is, right!?”
This is Nilu’s Rodmar Empire ruins, and Nilu herself… is also the master of the fairies. The altar ruins were probably originally constructed by Nilu. In other words… she naturally has a way to open and close it!
And I have never forgotten: the altar ruins are cut off from magical elements, and now without any weapons at hand, isn’t Ke Fei Er and Lei Ti in extreme danger!?
As Claudilus flew into the range of the altar ruins, I immediately wanted to rush over! However, as this purple fairy crossed that layer of rippling water surface, I was directly bounced back out!
【Ke Fei Er and Lei Ti cannot leave the altar’s range!】
[Claudilus attacked Kephiel and Letty using the magic bestowed by Nilu!]
The dangerous script for Kephiel has clearly emerged!
Beside me, Lin Ke, who had just been stunned by the previous scene, finally managed to calm down a bit. Gripping my sleeve with both hands and feet, that surreal moment must have long exceeded her understanding!
“Hey, wh-what’s going on! Why was my person just…”
“Isn’t it your fault, Commander Lin Ke!”
Using all sorts of underhanded tactics is impressive, but this is just foolish; you’re clearly being used!
I didn’t have time to deal with Lin Ke, yet I had no way to stop the fairy. No matter how I tried to find loopholes in the script or crash into it, the result was the same: the ripples were as hard as a transparent water surface. I simply couldn’t don Kephiel and Letty’s weapons to assist them. The content of the script indicated that the altar’s barrier had already been closed, and Kephiel couldn’t even leave! I could only stand outside, helplessly watching !
“Kephiel! Be careful! That fairy passed through the barrier without any effect!”
Nothing was more unbearable than the scene before me!
The first to notice Claudilus’s presence was Kephiel, who naturally abandoned the idea of continuing to investigate the fairy with Letty. After all, even if I didn’t say it, Kephiel and the others must have felt the fairy’s hostility and danger! Moreover, Kephiel and Letty were unarmed and unable to leave; once their magic ran out in that isolated space, it would be an absolute crisis!
“Kephiel, you too, and that foolish man outside… why do you insignificant humans always obstruct the master’s revenge…”
[Claudilus harbors hostility towards Kephiel!]
“Although the master’s orders can’t eliminate that useless man, today isn’t entirely filled with things that annoy me.
[Claudilus wants to kill Kephiel!]
“I will remove everything that hinders the master, Kephiel, and that little dwarf making a fuss beside you…”
“Let’s use your blood to make a drink for the master!!”
Even if I wanted to negotiate, it was too late! Because this fairy, already opposed to us, had made her move the moment the dangerous script for Kephiel appeared!
The void-like claws seemed to want to crush Kephiel’s entire body, appearing before her in an instant, tightening! Fortunately, Letty, quick on her feet, pulled out the only firearm she could bring in and fired several colorful magic bullets, shattering the void-like claws into pieces!
“White-haired girl, what are you still dawdling for, Blet? Hurry and get out of here!”
Pulling Kephiel, Letty wanted to run towards me! After all, being unarmed didn’t mean they couldn’t fight, but they would ultimately be at a disadvantage due to unfamiliarity. Even Kephiel, who had just “leveled up” in strength, couldn’t truly unleash her full power! After all, Kephiel wielded a sword, not some eighth-level black belt in judo!
However, this time, the situation was far from good! Letty, always wanting to lead the way to me, suddenly cried out in pain as if she had crashed into a wall!
“Why can’t we get out!?”
“That’s because this is the master’s domain! How could you insignificant ants escape so easily!?”
Claudilus, floating in the air, seemed completely unaffected by the barrier’s “no magic” restriction. With a wave of her arm, invisible blades rained down on Kephiel like a downpour! Without the magic sword Alsas, Kephiel didn’t panic; she immediately raised an ice wall. Meanwhile, as sharp objects struck the ice, producing terrifying sounds, Letty began firing at Claudilus above!
Two against one, and it seemed Kephiel was holding her own, but I knew very well: this was only temporary! Because in the script, Claudilus was completely unaffected!
[Nilu is providing Claudilus with magic power!]
But Kephiel’s situation was different; as her magic was used without replenishment, even she frowned! If the enemy were just ordinary minions, Kephiel could probably take them down barehanded in an instant, but this time it was Claudilus, a villain on par with a BOSS-level threat!
Gradually, I began to notice the fatigue in Kephiel’s frown, while Claudilus showed no signs of being affected, even laughing mockingly!
“What’s wrong!? What’s wrong!? Why aren’t you as arrogant as before!?”
“Kephiel, is it really okay to let him see you in such an embarrassing state up close? Hahaha~ You’re no match for the master at all, you insignificant little human!”
[Claudia is tempting Kephira to reveal a flaw!]
“Kephira! Don’t be fooled!”
Just as Kephira was about to give in to my reasoning and make one last desperate attempt to defeat Claudia, I called out to her! I was relieved that at least the barrier here allowed for direct communication, and I immediately began to scan the script!
“Leiti! You must not go out! Stay by Kephira’s side! You cannot act impulsively!”
I absolutely wouldn’t let anything happen to either of them!
“Kephira, hold on! Trust me… I will definitely find a way to save you!”
I could not allow Kephira to lose her future here! I could not let her get hurt!
[A powerful force can destroy a long-neglected, crumbling barrier!]
I was no longer just a sidekick clinging to Kephira; I was her fiancé! Script! Any method would do! As long as I could save Kephira, the details didn’t matter!
[The weapon in Oghilid’s hand harbors a powerful fairy!]
[Oghilid cannot withstand the artifact’s explosive power!]
I realized something! There was no time to think about some ridiculous death script. At the moment when Kephira was about to collapse from magical exhaustion, I unleashed the full power of the two weapons in my hands!
Then… my consciousness plunged into chaos!
[Oghilid discovered a new fairy!]
