62. Only the Trash of Su Ka
Just now, Nilu’s clear act of “sparing my life” was something I saw very clearly, but my insignificant little life is one thing; the safety of Zousi, as a “treasure,” is another matter entirely!
—
Nilu’s intentions at this moment couldn’t be clearer!
【Nilu has destroyed the Thunder Fairy’s thread!】
Although forcibly pulling the thread to me has spared Letty from the risk of being “involved,” it also means that the safety of the thread now rests entirely on my shoulders. And Nilu will show no mercy to the fairy she was meant to eliminate in this script!
Her gentle apology sends a chill through my body, a shiver creeping up my spine. Despite having kept her distance just moments ago, Nilu has somehow taken hold of one of my hands.
“Mr. O’Keefe, please do not let that woman’s expectations blind you. Do not engage with dangerous things for her selfish interests. Haven’t you realized yet? These ‘traitors’ from the past are incredibly dangerous fairies.”
“Even though I just said that, I still worry about harming you in any way. Please, abandon this fairy. I will perfectly dispose of her for you—forever.”
The Thunder Fairy’s thread is a treasure of Kephiel in the script, and I would never do such a thing! But the thread in my hand reacts far more violently and erratically than I had imagined!
“I’ll handle you, you piece of trash!”
In the blink of an eye, golden lightning engulfs me, forcing Nilu to take a step back. For me, the sensation that follows is reminiscent of when I used Alsace—this feeling of “my body being controlled!” However, unlike that fairy , the thread offers me no chance to react at all!
“Stop dawdling, Blet! If you won’t make a move, then this Emperor will take over for you!”
In the next moment, my body rushes uncontrollably toward Nilu. Even though I had just suffered a setback, the thread still hasn’t learned any lessons! Arrogant, domineering, and self-righteous! If I had the strength to defeat Nilu, I wouldn’t complain, but…
Clearly, that’s not the case now, and I’ve completely enraged Nilu on “that level!”
After all, my body is like this, and the lightning generated by the thread using my body is clearly not as dazzling as it was in Letty’s!
【Zzzzzt】
The lightning flickers, and I can even feel the displeased expression on the thread’s face!
“Suka Blet! Your body is just too trashy! Thanks a lot, Blet!”
You and I are being polite, huh? If you hadn’t recklessly sought revenge on Nilu, we wouldn’t have fallen into such a dangerous situation!
The thread’s one-sided argument is abruptly interrupted by the “hostility” radiating from Nilu, who has just stepped back! If Nilu’s earlier actions against the thread were merely to ensure my “safety,” her hostility toward the thread has suddenly intensified immensely!
“Thread…”
I quickly understand the reason!
【Nilu is furious that the thread has controlled O’Keefe’s actions!】
“Do not use your filthy power to control the ‘King’s’ actions!!”
The faint lightning is instantly swallowed by the massive black mist emanating from Nilu! In a shadowy realm, Nilu swings her sword to dispel the resistance created by the thread controlling my body. Then, an enormous “claw,” obscured from view, pins me to the ground, rendering me immobile!
“Blet… If it weren’t for this body…”
Shut up, thread! This isn’t a matter of body quality; the more you talk, the more Nilu will want to tear you to pieces!
Because… she doesn’t care about your life or death; she’s focused solely on me!
“Mr. O’Keefe, please find a way to expel this fairy from your body~ I will immediately eliminate her, ensuring she no longer controls your actions~”
“Suka…”
Suka your sister! Stop making things worse, thread! Do you really want to live this long!?
Who knows if it sensed my displeasure or saw Nilu’s dangerous gaze directed at me, but this time the thread finally shuts up. However, Nilu has long been irritated by her, and at this point, I have no other way to resist!
—
“But I refuse, Nilu. You should know why I need to use the Cosmic Silk.”
“So you are wrong!”
In the next moment, Nilu knelt directly in front of me, her hand gripping my neck, her eyes filled with resentment and expectation, leaving me utterly confused about the attitude she was hiding behind that ambiguous smile!
The only thing I could be certain of was: even having reached this point, the death script still hadn’t appeared! However, this situation made me even more worried! Nilu wasn’t coming at me directly, but… her actions were all creating a “danger of death” for me!
“Why do you believe that woman’s nonsense! Why would you risk getting this dangerous fairy for her!? I am willing to answer all your questions, but I won’t let you be deceived by that kind of woman. Mr. O’Keefe , you are wrong this time, so…”
The fingers gripping my neck were soft and powerless, yet I could smell a bone-chilling cold.
“This time, I will protect you~”
【Nilu forcibly separated the Cosmic Silk and destroyed it!】
In the next moment, with the appearance of the script, I clearly saw Nilu’s purpose! And I had no doubt that she could accomplish it!
“Nilu, I don’t need your ‘protection.'”
“No, you will need it.”
Nilu smiled as she stopped my attempt to raise my hand, along with knocking the sword of the Cosmic Silk aside!
“Even if you tell me you willingly accepted the Cosmic Silk, it won’t matter~ I will take care of her properly~ Please don’t resist, because… resisting is useless~”
“…”
Indeed, my resistance would be completely ineffective; rather, aside from Kefir being able to match Nilu, I, as a mere novice, would just be handing over whatever treasures I had.
So…
I clenched my fists and fell silent. Although the domineering nature of the Cosmic Silk had caused me quite a bit of trouble and risk, at… this moment, waiting for an opportunity was still not too late.
“Nilu, whether it’s useful or not, you don’t get to decide.”
“You’re joking. To handle your matter specifically for tonight, I’ve made ample preparations. I didn’t even bother to deal with that woman and focused solely on you.”
Nilu’s hand pressed against my chest, “Please don’t struggle anymore, and don’t let these fairies deceive you, okay~ Even now, you won’t have a chance~”
“Is that so?”
I smiled back at her question and watched as Nilu’s expression slowly turned to confusion, “Since you know I can ‘foretell,’ then you should also know that my predictions have never just been a last-minute effort.”
“…”
“When do you think I started ‘foretelling’? Was it just after I escaped from Rodmar Town? Or… from the moment Ji Yasi had already ‘ordered’ Rinko?”
Nilu immediately released her grip on my body!
“You… could it be…”
That’s right, although it was a bit perilous due to the Cosmic Silk’s dominance, but… the time had still come!
“I said I wouldn’t let you stop her ‘future’ anymore, Nilu.”
The sword of the Cosmic Silk leaped back into my hand; I struggled to rise, relying on my own will to summon the power of lightning. In the next moment, the leaping lightning intertwined with the cold colors rushing from afar, as it struck towards Nilu, while also buying me the final moment to grasp the “thigh”!
【Kefir finally appears according to the agreement with O’Keefe!】
