Chapter 205 – Episode 138- Even if I’m Afraid, I Have to Use It

*All characters appearing are adults.

Forest east of Flosh.
The forest, which was used to collect the city’s lumber, has become a mess.
The trees that had supported the forest for a long time were burned to ashes, and the grass that protected the land was frozen solid.
There were huge pits dug here and there, as if a meteorite had fallen.
It seems as if an indescribable calamity has befallen this forest.

A woman in a black uniform stood in the middle of the catastrophe.

“Ha, ha, ha…”

Her name is Lea Espani.
She is the daughter of Sylvia Espany, the lord of Floche and the empress of Leviathan, the predecessor of the demon king.
Her uniform, which hadn’t been damaged since she had been on the battlefield, was torn in places, and her shiny silver hair was stained with blood and dust.
Leah’s blue eyes continued to stare at the enemy in front of her.

“I didn’t know that a small creature could last this long, did you?”

An enemy that Leah must defeat.
A woman with silver hair down to her waist, just like Leah.
Her pupils are red, unlike Leah’s.
In a way, they may look like twins, but if you listen to him, you can see that they are absolutely not.

The act of saying such an arrogant thing is an act that should never be done in an Espany family.

“You can’t die even if you pour it like that. Is it because he inherited the lineage of the demon king?”

This talkative woman’s name is Harpy.
The ninth of the ten goddesses Freya gave birth to.
Clad in silver armor, she taunts Leah with her rapier pointed at her.
Unlike Leah, who was breathing heavily, she showed no sign of exhaustion.

‘A monstrous guy…’

Despite fighting for several hours, Leah did not get a single scratch.
It was Leah herself who was increasing her scars.
Because,

“Kuk!”

This is because the attack comes from time to time.
Leah immediately raised her sword to her left to defend it, sparks flying at the same time.
Leah’s sword collided with Harpy’s rapier and instantly shattered.

Of course, she was not Leah to be treated like this.
She immediately summoned her little portal.
She reached into it and immediately pulled out her sword in her subspace.
As soon as he took it out, he swung it to block Harpy’s additional attack.
The sword broke again, and Leah drew another sword from her subspace.

‘We’re running out of weapons.’

Hundreds of swords were piled up in Leah’s subspace.
It was kept for the purpose of supplying soldiers who lost their weapons during battle.
Because without weapons in war, it can lead to literally deadly things.
In preparation for this Karti expedition, I put quality swords in the subspace.

I did, but I never thought it would be consumed like this.
And Leia could not have imagined that quality swords would quickly become less than 10 left.
In the place where the two were standing, countless pieces of swords were strewn about like garbage.

“What’s wrong, did you run out of weapons already?”
“…”
“I still have to fight, I’m the daughter of the Demon King, but I can’t fight because I don’t have a weapon, right?”
“…”
“If you don’t want to fight, kneel quietly. Then I’ll cut your throat with ease.”
“Kuh, who likes it!”

The arrogance of obviously looking down on oneself.
The arrogance made Leah angry at her, but she had no way of punishing her.

‘Will the younger siblings and older sisters be okay?’

Leah was not alone here.

– These guys, even if you kill them, they come back to life, right?

-It’s slower than before. Gotta keep pushing!

-If I had known it would be like this, I would have received more renovations like Arrieta-san said.

– If you have the strength to shout like that, kill at least one more! I have to clean up these guys and go help my sister!

Truco, Elin, Reple, Oren.
Leah’s younger siblings, who were born on the same day, are fighting the lesser goddesses.
The number of people they had to deal with was in the tens of thousands.
Dealing with them, the four couldn’t go to help even though they knew that Leah was in danger.

At least she sent dozens of giants made of ice as reinforcements,

He couldn’t inflict a single wound on the Harpy, and it was smashed like tofu.
Ice blocks that were giants were scattered everywhere like corpses.

-Kyaaaaagh!

Arrieta’s screams can be heard in the roaring forest.
I never thought my sister, who usually smiles smirkingly, would scream like that.
Leah was startled by the screams of her sister, who always kept her composure on the battlefield.

Maybe she’s in the same predicament as her sister.

– Don’t come, don’t come, don’t come!

I hear the screams of a woman other than Junice.
I can’t hear Junice’s voice at all.
Only the sound of arrows flying and lightning striking was heard.
She can’t quite tell who is in trouble.

Everyone is fighting here.
They, who should lead the soldiers in Floche and fight, are now stranded in this forest.

The culprit behind this was Harpy.

“Cheuk?”

Space movement.
Harpy used this ability to forcibly move Leviathan’s children to the eastern forest.
None of Leviathan’s children could have imagined that they would be bound like this.

It was thanks to her ability that Harpy, who had been confronting her, suddenly appeared behind her, including Leia, and was able to kick her.

Of course, Leia can use the same ability as Harpy.

“Keugh!”

Immediately summons a dimensional door and enters subspace.
After hiding in the subspace, immediately open the dimensional door.
The position to open the dimensional door is behind the back of the goddess.
Pay back what you just suffered.
After passing through her portal, Leah swung her sword at the hollow back of her goddess.

I heard only the sound of cutting through the air.

“What?”
“Aren’t you tired of such obvious tricks now?”

Suddenly, someone whispers in your ear.
When she recognized who it was, a heavy force hit Leah’s side.
The sound of her bones breaking was heard.

“Cuck!”

Leah vomiting blood.
She flies like a baseball.
Harpy continued to attack without missing.

-Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

Left, right, up, down.
She throws her fists and kicks from all directions.
While using space shift to the point of being invisible to her.
Leah had no way to block Harpy’s attack.
The moment she tries to counterattack, the guy disappears from sight, pops out from an unexpected place and catches Leah off guard.
A very one-sided attack.
Leah’s body gradually turned to her own blood.

“Profit!”

It was Leah who somehow found a gap in the goddess and immediately struck down her sword,

“I’m sorry, but you can’t kill me with a blade like that.”

The harpy was only lightly bounced off with a rapier.
Leah’s sword, which she struck with her life and death, was broken in vain.
Leah looks at the broken sword with a devastated expression.

“Keheo-eok?”

Before long, he was hit by Harpy’s kick.
It wasn’t even a kick.
Just pushing her foot away as if it was annoying.
That action alone sent Leah flying far away.
After dozens of trees were broken, Leah was able to roll to the ground.

“Cool, cool, cool!”

Every time I cough, I keep coughing up blood.
The uppercut broke several of her teeth.
In the middle, her face is also hit, and her nosebleeds flow endlessly.
Her bones were broken and her intestines badly damaged.
Despite being beaten like that, Leah stood up again.

Looks like it’s going to run to the end.
Harpy didn’t think that was great.
It’s just that she was bored.

“Really tenacious. Die soon.”

Harpy attacked with the intention of killing Leah in one blow.
Even a demon with a strong body can’t stand it if it is attacked relentlessly.
If it was normal, it should have ended a long time ago.

But Leah didn’t die.
Despite being beaten like that, Leah stood up again.
She again drew her sword from her subspace and pointed the tip of her sword at the harpy.
Even though it was clear who Seung-gi belonged to, Leah refused to admit defeat.

Harpy was so annoyed by such a sight.

‘I have to finish it quickly so I can go rescue the two of them…’

On the outside, she was a laid-back harpy, but on the inside, she was in a hurry.

‘What the hell is going on.’

Half of Harpy’s brilliant silver hair is dyed black.
This is proof that power has been tainted.
The corruption of her other sisters also naturally affected Harpy.

She is slower to move through her space than when she first came here.
She attacks fiercely, but her strength is not working well.
It seems that her whole body is tightly bound in her shackles.
Harpy felt uneasy in her stomach as she felt imprisoned.

The reason why the contamination suddenly progressed like this is because the corrupt one came out of the ten goddesses again.
Other sisters besides Minerva.
Harpy was able to roughly guess who had fallen.

‘Dike unnie, artro. What happened?’

Dike and Artro.
A strange thing happened to these two people who went to the demon realm.
Three people, including himself, did not fall here.
So, we can only see two people as being contaminated.

‘No, I don’t think so.’

Harpy didn’t want to believe that fact.

Although Artro is the youngest, no one can match her acceleration.
Dike is the strongest of her sisters, so no matter how demonic she is, she will never be defeated.

To think that those two people were contaminated.
It is impossible.
I felt uneasy, but Harpy kept denying that such a thing would happen.

‘I think he has something…’

And Leia noticed the subtle changes in the enemy.

‘I think my fists are a bit weak…’

At first she thought she was really dying.
Because each time I was hit by one, I was mistaken that I was leaving this world.
However, the current Harpy is not able to exert that much power.

Obviously, the attack is fierce.
But it was weak.
Each blow was heavy, but the intensity was too weak to end life.
She seemed a bit impatient with the attack, perhaps because the goddess herself was frustrated.
When she first met her, she didn’t show the composure she showed.

This is your chance.
It could be a golden opportunity to blow away that arrogant goddess.
Leah thought she could tip her plate if she did well.

Of course, even though there has been a change, her attack is still fierce.

‘How can I win? How to…’

Five swords left.
If you block the goddess’ weapons, she will all be disposable.
If she has no weapon, she must fight bare-fisted, but it is impossible to defeat her bastard with it.

Her physical condition is also the worst.
No wonder her bones are broken, and she can’t breathe properly.
Blood continues to pool in her mouth. No matter how much I spit it out, it was useless.
The area where he had been hit continued to turn red.
The guy was weak, but Leah was swept away by the weakened enemy like a dog wing.

So, is there no way to win?

“…”

No, there is
Leah still has the power to give Harpy a shot.
If her arrogance isn’t false, if she properly uses her Subspace Summon, she should be able to put an end to that cheeky goddess.

But Leah hesitated.

‘I don’t want to write…’

Leah was told by her mother how she was born.

She lost the war and herself was tortured by Arietta.
To protect Flosh, he endured the torture tenaciously, but the end was despair.
She got the Leviathan child she didn’t want to have.
She was terrified that she had given birth to the daughter of the worst demon king.
Her pampering of her daughter was simply because she was afraid of what Arrieta might do.
She doesn’t care because she really wants it.
So she might abandon you one day, warned Sylvia Espany.

To this, Leah replied.

That she would never disappoint her mother.
She said that she would be recognized as her mother’s daughter, not the devil’s daughter.
She promised that she would never become a mad demon to slaughter.

As evidence of that, Leah did not use her abilities to slaughter.
She never put her blood on her own subspace.
The moment she does that, her mother won’t consider herself her daughter.

So, Leia did not use that method and tried to subdue her goddess.
Even though it was the easiest way, Leah was reluctant to use it for fear of being abandoned by her mother.

“…”

But it was impossible.
Her goddess powers were beyond her awareness of simply being strong.
An existence she could never reach.
An existence that cannot be overcome without being remodeled like the other three older sisters.
It was a foolish idea for her to subdue such a being by herself, since she had not received any reinforcement.

Can you really beat that guy?
Scary. Afraid. I want to run away right now.
As if to represent her feelings, Leah’s hand holding her sword trembled like an aspen tree.

However, if you run away because you are scared, what will be the end?

‘I have no choice but to do it.’

Even if I run away from here, he won’t leave me alone.
Here, he said that if he fell, his other siblings would be in danger.
The same goes for your two sisters.
Both Flosh and Mother will be in danger.

So you have to do it.
Even if your mother sees you as a monster.
Leah took a deep breath and held her heart.

“… Let’s go.”

Leah, fully determined, charged towards the harpy.
