Chapter 63 – 63. A True Hero Who Repays the Favor.
I waited for the stunned Chloe to wake up.
Having seen the shocking scene in the body of a pregnant woman, it was understandable that she lost consciousness.
“Chloe… !”
Delic held his wife in his arms and checked her condition.
Fortunately, there was no hemorrhage or anything.
Delic is just a mere soldier in the city.
He looked at Ash.
Even though his wife passed out, he couldn’t argue.
Because he was a nobler being than a nobleman, he couldn’t express his dissatisfaction.
“Chloe, will it take you long to wake up?”
Ash seemed to have no idea.
Even when he did his job, he was carefree.
Ash stared blankly, and an empty laugh came out.
“It will take a while. It was so shocking that he passed out, but he’ll wake up soon.”
A warrior who only carries a human head.
It’s hard to endure unless you have a tolerable liver.
Especially for pregnant women who are fragile.
It might not be a big deal by Ash’s standard, who has gone through all the prenatal battles and even returned…
It is an embarrassing scene for Delic, the city guard, and his wife, Chloe.
“I will warn you and show you. I didn’t know Chloe could be such a weak woman.”
The Chloe that remains in Ash’s memory is the warlock Chloe.
A woman who lost her husband and child and suffered from evil was highly likely to have a twisted mind.
Just like I had a completely different temperament from Kang Ah-jin in the first playthrough.
“What on earth are you planning to do with me, Gein…? !”
Grape groaned.
I felt like my eyes were about to burst red from how badly I was using them.
“Is the warlock doing gain or something already dead? Because you let go of Magi at will… You killed it.”
“This, this crazy bitch… !”
At Ash’s shameless reply, Grape’s head trembled.
This is a case where he ruined the painting himself after asking for help.
The warlock called Gain must have had something he was aiming for.
Knowing that there were only a few ropes left, Grape couldn’t control his anger even more.
If you think you have to live your whole life with only your head left…
Even a saint reputed to be benevolent will start having seizures like a madman.
“Oh, noisy.”
Ash threw Grape’s head to the floor.
Kwajik, the noise of something breaking and the commotion subsides at the same time.
Grape passed out as well, following Chloe.
Delic looks at us with a more frightened face.
It was not the gaze of the warrior.
It was as if he had faced some mad killer.
“Ugh…”
Chloe flinches and groans.
I was slowly coming to my senses.
Delic supported Chloe.
I managed to sit down in a chair and face him.
“Warrior… ?”
“Chloe unnie, since I saw you earlier, you won’t faint anymore, right?”
Ash was about to get straight to the point.
Grape’s sunken head was placed on the table.
“Hey… !”
Chloe, who hated it, did not faint this time.
It seemed that he developed a tolerance for it because he had experienced it once.
“What the hell is this…”
The Chloe couple trembled as they stood beside each other.
It was fearful because it suddenly thrust a human head into it.
Ash cut out the small details.
She seemed to have judged that it would be difficult for her to understand even if she explained at length.
“Chloe sister, have you ever been kidnapped by a warlock before?”
“…”
Chloe’s eyes widened.
His widened eyes were full of questions.
She gave me clues of regression.
She chattered and passed by, when she let out a tantrum.
However, no one immediately notices it.
She said it was almost impossible to be honest.
“Her body was disfigured as she was extracted by the magician. To pinpoint it accurately… Chloe’s womb was damaged.”
A womb engulfed by demonic energy cannot give birth to a baby.
Even if a child is born, it does not live long and dies.
If this problem is not resolved, her husband and children will die.
Ash stopped by this place to save Chloe’s fate.
‘Actually, he didn’t seem very interested, but…’
It wasn’t me that I could read Ash’s heart.
If Ash doesn’t tell me, I have no way of knowing what’s inside.
Was she going to repay her favor after going to Alfheim and having her wedding?
People’s lives are at stake here, but isn’t Chloe more urgent?
Based on the original work, it was more altruistic than I thought, and based on regression, it was more selfish than I thought, so I couldn’t understand Ash’s judgment.
Delic looks at Chloe.
It seems that he also had a rough idea of Chloe’s past.
Chloe met Delic’s eyes and gained courage.
“… How did the hero know about my past?”
“It’s a bit long to explain.”
Ash replied with a smile.
When dealing with Chloe, she responded with a kind voice.
It definitely felt like an unknown friendship.
Ash’s reaction to Chloe also seemed strange.
“Anyway, I want to help Chloe. I want her sister to have her child and live in peace.”
Chloe in the first episode and Chloe in the second episode are completely different, but I want the Chloe in front of her to be with a healthy baby for a long time…
Ash hoped.
The evil heart of trying to deceive and take away her opponent is bound to be revealed.
Conversely, honest sincerity is bound to work no matter what.
Still a foolish warrior does not know how to lie.
Those who were born strong did not have to bother wearing a mask and fooling others.
Ash told only her truth.
I wanted to help Chloe, and that heart was sincere.
Chloe couldn’t say anything about him either.
I just look at Ash as if I can’t understand him.
“What do you mean… I do not know…”
Chloe’s reaction softened a little.
Her doubting and wary eyes lifted slightly.
“You can’t have a baby like this. A child born from a magi-encroached womb does not live long. She will die soon.”
“… Are you my child?”
“Yeah, so I want to help. If I extract the remaining demonic energy from the womb and purify it with my own power…”
Ash also came up with a countermeasure.
A way to finish extracting Magi and save the child.
“Will the baby survive… ?”
I wasn’t sure.
“If possible, I would like to extract it myself, but it is not easy because my role is a warrior. Because of the magic, the sky might be contaminated.”
“Is that so?”
Chloe half believed Ash’s words.
Given that the hero knew his past, he had no choice but to believe it.
‘The Holy Sword is a fraud.’
The setting that only warriors could use it was more important than the setting that it could cut down demons.
“… What the warrior said is right. I was kidnapped by a warlock when I was young. It was a truly terrifying experience.”
Chloe took a moment to catch her breath and continued.
“At that time, the hero saved me. He was a warrior named Willard.”
Considering Chloe’s age, it was very likely that he was a warrior from the previous generation.
“My stamina has deteriorated a lot, but I thought it was fortunate that there were no major aftereffects… He’s a body that can’t bear children…”
“I can give birth. It’s just that the child doesn’t live long.”
He felt sorry for Chloe, who was crying.
If it wasn’t for Ash who followed Chochi.
“… Isn’t that what it is?”
“Is it?”
Chloe muttered in a gruff voice.
He didn’t forget to glare at Ash.
Ash brushed aside his self-reflection.
He didn’t seem to know what was wrong even though he was spitting out words.
It is Chloe in the first playthrough who lost the child, and Chloe in the second playthrough does not have to lose the child.
Because the hero Ash came.
“Did you mean that?”
“Yes?”
“Yeah, they say.”
I roughly interpreted Ash’s answer.
It didn’t do anything good for each other even if we hung out.
“Anyway, I’m going to take out the remaining demonic energy in the womb. In the case of a baby that has already been stained with demonic energy… I’m going to purify it first, but I’m not sure how it will turn out.”
The result will be different depending on how the heavenly qi interprets the demonic qi.
In the end, it meant that it was up to Ash.
After much thought, Chloe made a decision.
“I beg you, warrior.”
She trusts the warrior Ash and decides to entrust her ship.
All Delic could do was hold her wife’s hand.
“Great.”
Ash grabbed her Grape by the hair and lifted her head.
And she started slapping him on the cheek fifteen times.
Jab-! Jab-!
“Keah, turn it off… !”
Feeling the pain, Grape came to his senses.
The sunken head was also somewhat restored.
“Ugh, ugh… ! Warrior, warrior aaaaa… !”
“I’m thinking of extracting Magi from now on?”
What is needed to extract magic energy is the power of a warlock.
The black magician had to do it himself, so he brought Grape all the way here.
“If you do something stupid and get caught, you die. No, I will make you want to die.”
Ash glared into Grape’s eyes and warned him.
Will a verbal warning work?
‘It sure seems to work.’
The original Grape, who played with the hero Luke, is already dead.
Only Grape, who was tossed and ruined by Ash, was left.
Grape moved his eyes up and down.
Instead of a nod, he replied.
“How can I extract Magi?”
“Go, get closer… Me close to the target…”
Guide the warlock near the belly of the pregnant woman.
It’s a dangerous thing for anyone to see.
The fact that Chloe allowed it was itself unbelievable.
Bear the burden with one trust in the hero.
It is to believe in Ash, a warrior who knows his past, and accept the warlock’s head.
“It’s comfortable to have hands…”
“Should I send you to Gein?”
“… You have to make contact at all. If you want to finish it quickly, you can even touch your lips…”
At Grape’s request, Ash looked at Chloe.
Chloe met Delic’s gaze.
The warlock’s head should be placed close to the pregnant woman’s belly.
That’s also a bulging belly, a kiss over the womb?
Just looking at it makes me feel rejected.
It was something the Chloe couple had to endure.
Whatever it is, it’s better than not having children.
Chloe shook her head.
She pulled back her jacket as if she were ready.
For the first time, she encountered the body of a woman who embraces life.
It was a beauty that cannot be described in words.
‘If I impregnate Ash… Is Ash going to have a baby like that?’
I slipped on Ash’s side.
It reminded me of the soft belly I saw when we bathed together.
Ash didn’t know that, and grabbed Grape’s hair and put it on Chloe’s stomach.
“Ouch… !”
Grape pursed his lips.
At that moment, the black energy came out all the way.
“Sigh… !”
Chloe swallowed her moan.
Delic looks at Ash with her tense face.
“Good good. She said that if you get caught cheating, you’ll make it worse than dying?”
I feel like I’m still not dead enough.
Are you saying there is more to this?
I got goosebumps.
Grape flinched as if he felt the same way as me.
Thanks to the Magi extracted, the cheek that was bruised earlier began to recover quickly.
