Chapter 407 – Declaration of Dawn (2)
The world is covered in white magic light, then regains its original form. The rising sun was illuminating the center of the explosion.
“Have you done it?!”
I was stunned by the words I uttered reflexively.
T-ring!
It was only when he saw the notification from the system that the evil god had been defeated that his heart swept away.
“I was surprised…”
It would have been really dangerous if he had been revived.
Of course, the mana was empty because of the last Punishment, and the golem was in a half-melted state as if it couldn’t hold out any longer.
Purple. You’re still stuck in the last throw position. Even the power of the golem is turned off and you can’t even see the outside.
A pitch-black cockpit with nothing to see. I trembled involuntarily at the ominous imagination that suddenly came upon me.
“… What? Are you tired?”
Me… Wasn’t it floating in the air right now?
No it’s different The floating magic that had been hung started to rattle due to lack of mana, and it was completely canceled shortly after.
And the subsequent descent. As if on a roller coaster, I screamed at the dizziness that came up from the bottom.
“Keeeee!!”
I desperately raised my mana, but even with a dragon heart, it was impossible to restart the golem in a few seconds or to recover the mana to lift it entirely.
Then the only way left is to escape from here.
If it were my body alone, it would be possible to offset the falling speed to the point where I wouldn’t die even if the perfect floating magic was unreasonable.
Believing in the physical specs equivalent to that of a decent knight, I kicked the front of the cockpit as hard as I could.
Thud!
Quite a heavy sound. But it didn’t break.
“What?”
Let’s not panic. It’s close, but there’s still time to try one more time!
I tore the strength scroll I had taken out of my inventory for the first time in a while. It wasn’t that he didn’t have mana, but it wasn’t that he didn’t have stamina, so his body accepted magic without difficulty.
Once again, I squeezed all my strength and kicked the hatch.
Quaang!
“…”
Other than the slight increase in volume, nothing had changed.
But. I don’t know if the joint has melted or if it’s just tightly locked, but it’s a golem made of alchemy steel that imitates dragon scales.
Didn’t it easily block the attack of the two-headed giant with mythical strength?
Right now, her magical energy has been cut off, and she’s on the verge of being shattered by overload, so she won’t be that hard. But even so, it wouldn’t be something I could do with my kicks.
“… There is nothing we can do about it.”
It curled up and covered it with its wings and tail. And until his mouth was filled with the finest potion made by Fei.
The body in the Yonginhwa state is strong, so it should be able to endure. If he doesn’t die, he’ll be able to do something with potions, regeneration, and Helena’s healing.
So I closed my eyes and finished my mental preparation. A dull shock felt shortly thereafter.
“ぅ.”
I quickly swallowed the potion. A pain that disappears in an instant. But something was strange.
“?”
Wasn’t it too shocking? If I had fallen from that height, I would have had to roll around in the cockpit a few times… ?
It was when I opened my eyes that had been closed in wonder.
Bang!
The hatch dented as if someone had knocked it with great force from the outside. For a moment, I thought I had seen it wrong, but I wasn’t mistaken.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A hatch that continues to lose. I was sure when I saw it.
“You came to save me!”
Yes! Although I’ve fought alone, I’m not really alone!
Other people who are watching the situation from afar… Iris or Iona must have noticed my condition and came to help!
The shock was less because I stopped the falling golem in the middle, and now it must be forcibly trying to open the closed hatch and get me out!
Is this what it feels like to be saved? I waited patiently with a beating heart. And soon after, a ray of light enters the cockpit.
Quaang!
As I forcibly removed the twisted hatch, I saw a familiar face in the blinding backlight.
Platinum-colored hair that hung down to her waist. Ruby-colored eyes languidly lowered. And even the sneer at the corner of his mouth and the tentacles wriggling behind his back.
By now, it was just a familiar face.
Corrupted Carla. After completing her revenge on the Marquis of Cyprus, her unexpectedly quiet appearance appeared before her eyes out of nowhere.
“What is this… ?”
“Long time no see.”
For a while, I was taken aback by the casual greeting. As soon as I grasped the situation, I took out a shining lion dagger from my inventory and swung it.
I got stuck so easily.
Awesome
A tentacle wrapped around my wrist and, not even stopping it, broke it.
“Kuk.”
Since the effect of strength still remains, it must not be that my strength is weak, but I never thought it would be so easily blocked.
It’s the worst. He ran out of mana, missed the dagger that could work, and even had one hand subdued.
But what worries me more than that is…
“What did the others do?”
“Yes? Are you asking about that?”
“Isn’t it obvious? There’s no way I could have let you go this far.”
It could be a little later than Tarla. However, it is strange that the party has not responded at all yet.
Tarla, who had a dazed expression for a moment at my words, smiled.
“They look good to each other. Don’t worry. Because I didn’t do anything. The only reason I’m quiet right now is because I put a barrier around me.”
“What? But…”
“Take it easy. It’s normal that you don’t detect it because it’s a barrier made of authority, not magic.”
Tarla nodded and wrapped herself around me with another tentacle. I resisted, but as of now, I couldn’t resist.
With tentacles suppressing her whole body, she was slowly pulled out of the cockpit.
“Ah.”
My women who can’t come close to me at a certain distance. When I saw my face, I hurriedly shouted something, but her voice did not reach me.
“… Is it the Veil of Silence?”
“You know right away. That’s correct. I’ve succeeded in absorbing the power that the Seething Silence left in this body. At best, it’s all about hiding your presence a little or making the surroundings quiet like now.”
I caught a glimpse of Tarla who shrugged her shoulders and looked around her carefully. Except for the traces of a fight between me and the two-headed giant, it doesn’t seem like there was a battle.
“Aha. Are you holding me hostage? Like the kind explanation a while ago. Aside from feeling bad because it’s sticky, it’s kind of a soft restraint, so what the hell is it? I think the next time we meet, he said he’d kill me so it wouldn’t hurt.”
“Unlike last time, it hurts my heart a little because I set myself up too sharp. Still don’t know? It was my own expression that not everyone came to fight.”
“Please tell me that first…”
I wondered if I was going to be able to use the resurrection option attached to the Mansin’s Blessing attribute today.
I can’t believe it, but Tarla doesn’t seem to want to kill me. He would have had several chances to kill him, but of course he kept him alive and didn’t even touch the others.
She let out a sigh and lifted her head. Did it tell me that I was willing to talk? The feeling of pressure in the limbs was noticeably reduced. If it was now, I would be able to shake off any number of tentacles. … I’ll catch you again soon.
He tilted his head and spoke.
“So? What the hell are you talking about?”
“Of course I have something to ask you.”
Tarla gave a fake smile. When the bright smile of the Carla I know collapses in reality, and her despair dulls it, it will definitely look like this.
While swallowing saliva inside her. Tarla comes closer as if riding on top of me.
Her platinum-colored hair, flowing down, wraps around her like a curtain. A sight as if there were only me and Tarla in the world.
Tarla covered my face with both of her hands in that state. Her eyes, which had been languidly lustful, suddenly sparkled, and the mood changed.
The lights are on. Or caught fire Either way it doesn’t matter. After giving up on everything in the world and having a philosophical view, the cloudy ruby regained its original light for a while. What is so important about the expression?
Tarla’s soft voice permeated my ears, overwhelmed by the moment.
“Why didn’t you run away? It was clearly a dangerous situation. It’s good that we won. What if her golem wasn’t good enough? It would have been better to abandon this castle and return after it was reorganized. Did she even consider bringing in a sword master from the Empire? Or maybe… Did you try to protect those dwarves?”
“…”
A sarcastic, mocking voice. But for some reason, I felt some kind of earnestness in it.
I don’t know why I’m asking this question, but I’m sure it’s a very important question to Tarla.
After choosing my words, I opened my mouth in a cautious tone so that my answer could be fully conveyed.
“Because if you do, Fei-senpai will regret it.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
“Although Fei-senpai sorted out her past, that doesn’t mean she’s gone.”
It’s like being transferred to another world, but like you, Tarla, who is still suffering from the past.
“I was worried that if I simply left it as it was, I would be reborn as a perfect incarnation and become stronger… Rather, I also really wanted Fei-senpai to be saved from her past.”
I’m not just talking about the despised childhood.
The moment I couldn’t protect my mother, the moment I steadfastly defended my dream while crying at the sudden change of attitude one day, the moment I left for the academy with only a tattered book on basic alchemy, the moment I couldn’t eat properly and locked myself in the workshop in a scruffy outfit, maybe. The moment when I was suffocated by reality, saying that it might be wrong.
I wanted to tell you as a person who knows all those moments. You’re not wrong
“My belief, my victory proves that Fei-senpai’s trajectory was correct. And this was a proof that only this place where I had the hardest moment could do it.”
Even Rahim’s holy sword, forged by the colliding steel, could not kill the evil spirit. However, the golem made with alchemy, which was so neglected, achieves the feat of killing God?
What proof could there be more than this?
It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but this was the reason she nodded her head coldly at Fei’s opinion.
“… All right. But this time, the result was good, so it’s a shame. What if it went wrong? It might have been proved in the opposite sense.”
“No. It’s not going to happen.”
“Yes? But the evil spirit…”
“I’ll say it again, Fei-senpai will never lose. I will make it.”
“…”
입을 꾹 다무는 타를라. As if something was holding her back, her eyes were dizzy. I still don’t know what he was thinking, but maybe it wasn’t a very bad thing?
Tarla, who had stood there blankly for a while, slowly dropped her body.
“대답해줘서 고마워요.”
“What? 그럼 이제 놔주는 거지?”
“Yes. 그런 약속이었거든요. It’s a promise I made with you, not with you.”
Tarla, twitching her chin and pointing to my ladies. She tilts her head slightly and turns around to see her impatient companions.
I can’t hear the sound from her position, so I’m sure she’s worried about what’s going on.
Anyway, it wasn’t empty words, but Tarla released her tentacles that were restraining her body.
잔상처럼 남은 저릿함에 손목을 풀어주고 있자니, 이제 곧 떠날 것처럼 반쯤 등을 돌린 타를라가 가벼운 목소리로 물었다.
“Right. Come to think of it, you said you knew the future I was in, right?”
“… Yes?”
“제 최후도 알고 계시나요?”
“…”
“괜찮으니까 말해주세요.”
After a brief hesitation, she nodded.
“… Die to me.”
“Yes? I beg your pardon?”
“악신의 성녀로 거듭난 카를라는 세상을 불태우고 무너뜨리다 결국 내 손에 죽는다고.”
To be more precise, it is to die to the player, but since that player is born, it is not wrong.
Tarla put on a dumbfounded expression at my words, but she smiled and patted me on the shoulder.
“I saved your life once, so next time you’ll save mine.”
“Uh?”
“알아들었으면서 되묻지 마세요. Oh, and I will take that, so you know.”
After saying that, Tarla took a step forward without looking back.
However, with that alone, her new model disappeared as if it melted into thin air, making it impossible to find.
I didn’t know you could handle the power of the seething calm already to this level. 어째서인지 잠깐 안 본 사이에 제정신에 가까워진 타를라지만, 혹시라도 싸웠다가는 정말 위험했으리라.
Anyway, in the middle of sweeping her heart at the fact that Tarla left without any problems.
“Uh?”
Suddenly, I noticed that the head of the two-headed giant scattered in the distance had disappeared.
“No, that’s my coma…”
그걸 네가 왜 가져가.
