46. I’ll use your skull as a bowl!
The roaring ice and snow were like blades; although they didn’t pierce through Claudilus’s transparent stance, they certainly made her aware of the danger. And Jousi was no timid fairy; seizing the brief moment of distraction, her claw, crackling with lightning, tore through her bindings, and as she landed, she firmly grasped her sword once more!
Just a moment of carelessness, underestimating the power this purple witch had obtained from Nilu. Now that she was saved, she had to regain some face! Of course, before that, she had to thank the Yinguo girls who had just helped her!
“Hey, white-haired girl, just now—”
However, just as Jousi was about to turn and express her gratitude to Kephir during this rare opportunity, she realized…
The one who had just saved her was not Kephir, but…
“Euclid?”
In her line of sight, Jousi saw Euclid, who had just merged with Alsas and transformed into a girl, lying unconscious on the ground, and Kephir, startled by the sudden scene, immediately rushed over.
As a fairy herself, Jousi quickly concluded: this man had forcibly used Alsas’s power, and then… his already weak body, lacking magic due to being a novice, was drained, leaving his consciousness unable to remain. After all, even a fairy of Alsas’s unremarkable level could extract magic from the user to unleash power.
Hahaha~ This foolish man is truly useless, not even knowing his own limits and forcibly using a fairy’s power, collapsing under the strain—he totally deserves it, Blet! Novices shouldn’t try to show off, hahaha!
…If only Jousi could think that way.
The rage she had felt moments ago at Claudilus’s appearance vanished without a trace. Both Letty and Jousi understood what had happened. Euclid had some prophetic power similar to Ikusis, so… he must have known she was in danger due to her anger and carelessness. In Kephir’s moment of breathlessness, he chose to step in personally, using all his strength to unleash Alsas’s power…
To save her? Because she was the “Thunder Fairy” he needed?
No, no, no, it’s you, Letty! Because right now, he’s using your body; he must be worried about you, while his own sword is of no concern.
It’s you! It’s you…
It’s clearly you!
Ahhh! Sukabret! What’s there to argue about? It’s all “ours” anyway! Because of our “carelessness,” because of our own impulsiveness; because Letty, your trust in those nobles has brought trouble…
Rather than regretting these things, we have something more important to do now…
“Claudilus.” “b*tch.”
“I’ll use your head as a ball to kick!” “This Emperor will use your skull as a bowl!”
Lightning surged, and this time, Zous was utterly unreserved. Letty was equally unrestrained, too lazy to care about Kephiel’s reaction, nor did she want to ponder why Claudia was momentarily astonished by the fall of Oghilid. The sword of lightning summoned golden bolts, and the overflowing currents obliterated everything around, raising a tempest of destruction. Under the immense pressure, even the protective barrier surrounding Claudia began to crack.
What happens when magic runs out? Who cares! Let this fairy suffer a bit first!
Zous’s form transformed into a phantom, gripping Letty’s wrist tightly, then, as the fairy of thunder, unleashed all the power of the Emperor of the Rosia Empire, tilting downwards!
Everything before them collapsed like dry twigs, instantly shattering the layers of barriers Claudia had constructed. With a look of difficulty, she muttered, “If the master blames me, this will be troublesome,” and then, flustered but not panicked, floated backward.
More than half of the house had already become a roofless ruin. Thanks to this, even as the heavenly thunder rolled forward like a storm, it could not truly put Claudia in a dire situation. So, it wasn’t enough! Today, this Emperor will strip you clean from head to toe…
You don’t deserve to be the Emperor of the Rosia Empire!
After the resounding yellow thunder, Claudia’s clothes were somewhat tattered, and she was preparing to escape into the vast night. However, just as Zous was ready to continue her pursuit, Kephiel’s words unexpectedly calmed her down.
“Fairy of Thunder, do you still want to chase so casually!?”
“!”
In the blink of an eye, Claudia had vanished, but this time Zous did not wish to blame the meddlesome white-haired girl. After all, the price of her recklessness was now clearly laid out before her.
“Tsk!”
Feeling exceptionally stifled, Zous plunged her form directly into the ground, then, for some reason, hesitated and fidgeted. More than shyness, it was guilt, as she stole a glance at Oghilid, whom Kephiel was holding.
“What… what about him…”
“Don’t you understand the consequences of forcibly using Alsas? Although I share some responsibility, just that moment of negligence, and he…”
If a man is in trouble, it’s strange for a woman to show him any kindness. Yet this time, Zous found herself speechless, unable to muster even a hint of rebuttal.
“I’ll go pull that fairy out right now!”
“Zous! Have you had enough of this? If it weren’t for your stubbornness in not listening to him, would it have turned out like this!?”
“!”
Instinctively wanting to argue with Kephiel, Zous found herself unable to speak. After all… she wasn’t wrong; Zous herself regretted wanting to return to her original form, just to throw her body and the blame onto Letty.
But… the consequences of their impulsive actions… at the very least, should be borne by both of them.
Watching Rasputin and the others finally arrive after a fierce battle, Zous shouted at Rasputin, who still seemed somewhat unaware of the current situation, thinking, “Kephiel actually dared to argue with Lady Letty!? How bold!”
“What are you looking at me for!? Take Oghilid away for treatment! Are you just going to leave him here to die!?”
Then, Zous drew her sword, filled with a rage that had nowhere to vent, and more anxiety, even daring not to glance at Oghilid’s condition again, she turned and hurriedly left.
Nervous, flustered, but… beyond that, there was more anger.
After all, in Zous’s view, the root cause of this situation ultimately lay with… the noble daughters led by Reyef, whose almost idiotic behavior and brainless actions had stirred up trouble and enemies.
“Ivan Letty, I told you not to trust Reyef and those nobles anymore…”
“No need for you to explain. This time, I won’t back down just because of their status!”
In the next moment, the voices of Letty and Zous echoed simultaneously.
““I am the Emperor of the Rosia Empire; the Rosia Empire does not need these traitors who eat from both sides.””
““Before skinning that fairy, let’s settle accounts with these traitors first!””
