Chapter 141 – People in Motion

#141.

“Tina…”
“You… Why are you doing this? Go come..”

After defeating him, I guess I figured out my condition.

Tina felt a fading aura in real time and seriously touched my body.

“Why.. Why are you going to come..!”

Aura is mana, and mana is life force.

If there is not even a handful of mana left, that means death.

I, who used Overdrive, gained tremendous power in a short time, but the recoil was death.

I have to pay for it with my life.

“Tina. Are you okay.”
“It’s not okay! Not at all.. Not okay..”

Even though she knew she would be resurrected anyway, Tina couldn’t contain her emotions and she shed tears like chicken droppings.

“We’re just parting for a while.. I’ll be right back.”
“Black…! I hate it though… It’s painful! It hurts! I don’t want you to suffer…”

The rapid depletion of vitality causes great suffering.

Even if her mana was simply depleted, she would suffer from a terrible headache and lethargy.

Of course, I block nociception, so it doesn’t hurt at all.

But Tina grieved and suffered as if she were suffering the pain herself.

“Tina. Do not cry. Please smile.”

I stretched out my hand and gently caressed her cheek, and her eyes met.

Even if she was messed up with tears, even at this moment, she couldn’t hide the beauty she was born with.

He exchanged glances with Tina as he stroked her delicate yet neat features one by one.

Even without her mouth open, I could tell how much Tina loved and cared about me.

“At this point… Are you okay? It’s not painful…Isn’t it?”

Tina forced the corners of her mouth to smile as if she wanted to ease some of my pain.

He smiled at the slightly funny look and stroked his lips gently.

“Tina. Can’t I kiss you? It will take some time to come back to life.”
“Puhuh… Stupid. Anything like that… I can do it for you.”

At the same time, something moist touched her lips.

With a sweet breath, her tongue stretches out and digs between her teeth.

‘So sweet.’

Her throat was painful as if she had swallowed dry sand from her terrible thirst, probably because she had been pouring all her energy into it.

She gulped down the sweet saliva that flowed through her tongue as if it were nectar.

Tina seemed to do the same, entangling her tongue and bringing her saliva to herself.

It was an intense kiss that seemed like it would never end until her life was over, but I felt the presence and had no choice but to stop.

“Whoa..”

A long solid line stretched between the two of us as Tina parted her lips.

As the dome disappeared, I looked at it shining in the light of the sun rising in the sky, then turned my gaze and saw Arkan Yurinas.

Sernia was next to him, and Bianca was standing a little away with the thugs.

“Main..! Is that… Is it over?”

Sernia saw me lying down and opened her eyes wide, then she hurriedly opened her mouth, then she turned her head to the place where the reverberation of her magic was left as if she was embarrassed.

It seems that he was trying to say that he was the owner, but he hurriedly took care of it.

‘Why are you doing this?’

Somehow Tina and I know that I am alive, but the reactions are quite intense.

I didn’t want to imagine what the reaction would be if I didn’t know about the resurrection.

‘I’m sorry you thought that way…’

Lovers in Rianne will feel that feeling and live in pain for years.

Apparently I was too careless.

If I die this time, I will try to approach the ancient ruins in Lianne as my destination.

“Lie. Are you okay?”

Sernia seemed to think that she shouldn’t let Tina know about her relationship, but she kept a little distance even though she looked over her body anxiously with her eyes.

She told Tina that Sernia noticed the resurrection first, so she pretended to be normal.

But she was cute, with her pouting lips and the way she couldn’t keep her hands still, just like a dog who couldn’t play and grunt at her owner’s command.

“Hey… What have you done?”

Arkan Yurinas, who had approached me while I was talking moderately with Sernia, looked around and grasped my condition and approached.

“I just… Overreacted. By the way, are there any more raids?”
“…That’s right. I heard that you saved her daughter. Thank you.”

Arkhan Yuri Nath pursed his lips as if he was curious about what kind of technique it was, but he laughed bitterly as he realized that this was not the case.

Then, at her words of thanks, she turned her head to see Bianca, who was standing at a distance, unable to come any closer.

‘What’s the reaction?’

She just came up proudly like always and said, ‘Thank you very much.’ I thought she would pass it off, but she was different.

However, after a while, as soon as our eyes met hers, her shoulders trembled and she approached cautiously.

And then she belatedly realized my condition. As if she was shocked, she stammered.

“What… What, what. What! What’s the matter. You!”

Bianca rushed over, pushed her Tina away and started groping her body.

“Hey. What’re you doing.”
“Why… Why are you like this! What are you! Go aura… The aura will disappear!”

An opponent with a higher level can hide the total amount of their aura from an opponent with a lower level.

But that doesn’t make it completely zero.

Humans always need a minimum amount of mana, so if you set it to zero, it will give you a suspicious feeling. If you’re thinking of hiding your mana, don’t.

Now there is no need to do that in the first place.

“Hey. Calm down. Do you like me?”

She said it playfully, on purpose to calm her emotions down a bit, but Bianca retorted with her tears running down her cheeks.

“Why..? I… Can’t I like you? Can’t I like you!? Even if you hate me, I can still like you!”

No what is this

The unexpected confession shocked not only me but also Tina and Sernia, who were saddened.

And Arkan Yuri Nas, who was standing behind, heard her daughter’s heartfelt confession, scratched the back of her head, and stepped aside.

Of course, if you see that your ears are pricked up, it seems that you want to hear it.

I was stunned for a moment and then came to my senses.

As my sister-in-law has said, my taste is very firm.

It would be impossible for me to catch Bianca in the current situation.

Because if you can’t give them the same affection, it’s wise to nip them in the bud from the start.

Of course, attracting Bianca would be a great help, but it also meant putting her in danger.

So..

“You are not my taste.”

He flatly rejected the confession.

Then she said as if Bianca was in pain, clutching her chest.

“Then… Why did you save me? What did you say earlier? Huh?”
“Oh, that? So, are you just passing by? I mean… Well, it was a joke. Sorry.”

It’s so trashy, but I didn’t want to let Bianca get caught up in it anymore.

There were two things that made me like Bianca.

The work in the dungeon and the work he saved today.

But I don’t know that both of those things happened because of me.

If I hadn’t been there, she would have thought she might have died, but if I hadn’t been there in the first place, it wouldn’t have happened.

Bianca doesn’t thank me, she should resent me. It is normal that I should be sorry.

“Bad… Bastard. What a bad guy. You.”
“…Sorry.”
“Don’t apologize. Because I hate that more. I hate you so much know?”

I know it’s a lie, but I helped her as she tried to cut off her own feelings.

“Know. Is there anyone who doesn’t know that you hate me?”
“That’s why I love you.”
“…What is he saying now?”
“I say I love you. I… This Bianca Yurinas. You love mere commoners!”

As if letting out her screams, I was shaken by the sight of her confronting all of her emotions head-on.

I wanted to give her a warm hug and comfort her, but I couldn’t.

Because there’s nothing good about doing something you can’t take responsibility for.

More than anything..

‘I don’t even have the strength to do that.’

Now, the strength of the whole body was drained, and even the vision began to flicker.

Feeling it, I squeezed my strength for the last time.

– Sernia. When I die, the Church of Destruction will approach. The corpse will be moved to the dungeon anyway, so keep an eye on it and track it down. Okay?-

Sernia, who had stepped aside and looked at Bianca with her sympathetic gaze, stiffened at my words and then nodded her head.

-All right. Master. Then… See you later-
-Okay. See you in a month.-

Actually, I don’t know if it’s really a month, but maybe I’ll be alive then?

Please, I hope the save points are true.

If the system wasn’t going to fuck me up, it had to be.

I’m Bianca, Tina and Sernia. He closed his eyes while surrounded by the three of them.

This is my… How many deaths?

‘It’s five times…’

So many died that now it has reached a level where you have to count them one by one.

You can’t even count it with two hands anymore, can you?

My consciousness was cut off with such a stupid thought.

***

“Then let’s go.”
“Yes..”

The child blankly answered the man’s words and staggered out of the room.

“Damn… How long do I have to stay here?”

The man, Kud Weiss, lamented his condition and scratched his head nervously.

After things went awry in the kingdom of Rianne, he was contacted by his leaders and rushed to the empire, but ended up in a damn country estate.

Here, he has been suggesting to the children for a year now until his work in the Empire is finished.

A talented person like yourself should be used for bigger things, but to waste time in a place like this.

The top-ranking guys were all old, so their eyes must have been wrong.

“Old people anyway…”

It was the moment when I put the curse of the leaders in my mouth.

─Ugh…

The communication crystal ball placed on one side of the room rang a magic resonance.

Kud Weiss, who was looking at the communication crystal ball specially processed so as not to leave any reverberation of his magical power, looked around.

“Did you cast some surveillance spell?”

As soon as he says he’s gossip he gets a call.

Suspiciously, I looked around, but I didn’t see anything like that.

‘Well then…’

He was embarrassed at the thought that it was his own mistake, but he urgently received the communication because he wanted to be criticized for further hesitation.

“It’s coud vise.”

-…An incident occurred.-

“Yes? What is it?”

He himself was stuck here and only hinted, but he couldn’t figure out what the hell he was contacting.

Then, unexpected information came to Kud Weiss.

– Work in the kingdom of Rianne. Do you still remember?-

“Yes. Of course. Can you forget that But why..?”

I still get a tantrum just thinking about Rai or Roy.

I will never forget those memories until I die.

In response to Kud Vice’s question, the other person mentioned the object that he was thinking about.

-Then you’ll remember a guy named Rai Frencia.-

“Yes. Of course. What are you doing?”

-He’s alive.-

“…”

For a moment he doubted whether what he had heard was correct, so he cleared his ears and asked again.

“I’m sorry, but what did you say?”

-Ray Frencia. He said the bastard was alive. Remember Luke Ericks?-

“Yes? He’s alive? No, more like Luke Ericks… He? At the academy? Why is he suddenly popping out?”

Kud Weiss couldn’t come to his senses as he struggled with the torrent of information that came without a second chance.

Even his usual packaging attitude came out of nowhere, and he was fairly well-behaved, even revealing his distracted appearance.

But the other guy didn’t care about that and started spewing out all the information.

– Luke Ericks. The guy created an incident on his own. I did some research and found a guy named Rai. But that bastard has the same face as Laifrencia, who died in Li-Anne. Do you know anything?-

‘Is he alive?’

The culprit who ruined things at Rianne.

It was a nasty and annoying face that still pops up before I go to sleep.

“Are you really that guy? He’s obviously dead. I checked the corpse, and even held a funeral,,, Ah!”

Kud Weiss later realized that the grave had been dug up and was missing.

At that time, there was a guy who kidnapped the princess and appeared.

In other words..

‘He had a colleague!’

I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m here to retrieve the body.

Then, what is the true identity of a guy named Rai?

Alter ego? Or a clone?

Kud Weiss, who was vigorously shaking his head, opened his mouth cautiously.

“Kuhm..! Do you remember what I said last time?”

-What are you talking about?-

“It’s a story about forces that the Church has not been able to figure out.”

-Are you still saying that?-

The man seemed to think it was nonsense, and the heat in his voice cooled at once.

There was even a hint of deep disappointment in his husky voice.

But Kud Weiss didn’t care. Because I was sure

Confidence that there is no error in the results that came out with your own outstanding brain! Based on that confidence, he said it confidently.

“Then check the body in a month. It’s probably gone. It was the same with Rianne.”

-…Can you be sure? It is not easy to identify the body.-

“Unconditionally! And you don’t even have to check it. We just need to see which ones take the body.”

Kud Weiss is a nine-star wizard.

In other words, it means that the church is a person who is highly valued.

When he, who could be called an elite, spoke so earnestly and with great confidence and certainty, even a man had no choice but to think differently.

Above all, Kud Vice’s proposal wasn’t that difficult.

It would have been easy if it was a simple corpse check, not a special operation.

-…Then let’s check. If not… Be prepared.-

“Of course!”

A month after the communication with such confidence ended…

─Ugh…

I got a call from Sujeong-gu again.

“Indeed..!”

Kud Weiss was confident, but he was contacted with a nervous heart because he had a one-in-a-ten, one-in-a-million chance.

And..

– Coud Vice. Have you finished all your work there?

“Yes? Ah yes. What happened to the body anyway? As expected, another dark force…!”

-There was nothing like that. Pack your bags right now. To the Pestan branch.-

The entertainment city of Festan.

Famous as a tourist destination, this place was overflowing with people with all kinds of sights and events.

Gambling parlors and brothels are everywhere, and it is truly a city of desire.

That’s how strong the power of the shadows was, and that’s why the Church of Destruction was perfect for increasing its power.

Because there are so many people, even if a few people go missing, no action is taken.

Disappearances happen all the time, so the Church of Destruction was working on kidnapping children and making them believers.

“Again..?”

And the work Kud Weiss was doing in this country estate was not too different from that.

The difference is that there are so many people there that you won’t have time to rest.

-Hurry up.-

The man cut off the communication with a short reply as if he did not want to mix words with Kud Weiss anymore.

─Tap

“Shit..”

Communication was cut off, and Kud Weiss started packing powerlessly, thinking that it was the beginning of a real struggle.
