95 – 95. Lost Artifact

“Grrr-!! You, you!!! How dare you hide such power until now!!!”

For the first time in his life, Jegang found himself being surpassed by someone, facing the strange experience of his flame evaporating.

In order to fulfill the prophecy of recovering the forgotten artifact of the family.

For some reason, he found himself cooperating with detestable cultists and worshipers to achieve the prophecy.

And he had sacrificed much to raise his child to be the strongest.

“I haven’t hidden anything, you just didn’t notice, dad.”

“…!!”

However, as if to indicate his choice was wrong, his child surpassed his expectations and blocked him.

A life filled with dictatorship could finally be halted by the growth of his child.

Yet, he could not deny his own choice.

For this choice, he had sacrificed many things and buried them in his heart.

“…It’s not enough with just that power!! You must obtain the lost relic of the family!!!”

As if exploding for a moment, Jae-gang spewed out white flames like a flash, causing Jane to step back.

“Ugh!?”

Though the qualitative difference in power was with Jane, the power of Jae-gang, honed through countless months of training, was immense like a mountain.

“What’s so great about you challenging your father without even receiving the selection of the lost relic!!! Without even manifesting as a flame!!!”

Jae-gang gradually pushed Jane back with a series of exploding flashes.

She clenched her lips, feeling the power of Jae-gang’s white flame and the blue flames of the surrounding cousins.

Suddenly, she realized that the sensation of becoming something like a white light due to meeting Mistein’s ancestor was eerily similar.

“Then let me show you!! That it’s enough even without such a relic…!!”

As Jane began to shed blue light, she started emitting a strange white color from her whole body.

Feeling this, Rokser and Rika were taken aback.

“Oh, that fool is really going crazy!”

Reacting most strongly, Rika rushed in wearing protective gear.

“It’s dangerous!! Step back!!”

One of the young officers tried to stop Jane, but…

“It’s too noisy, so just watch quietly!!!”

Jane, with shadows trailing behind her, smoothly entered the shield they had set up.

“She pierced through that so easily!?”

“A shield that can withstand the attacks of the elders?”

“What’s going on here?”

“Jae-jun, what have you dragged us into with the family business?”

The transformations into flames were quite shocking, leaving them uneasy.

Contrary to their anxious thoughts, Rika planned to take measures to not let the people around get entangled in Jane’s power.

“Rokser!! You can withstand this, right!?”

Rika extended a semi-transparent dark force like a barrier from Rokser’s back to cover up to prevent the clash between Jane and Jae-gang from spreading.

The problem was that Rokser was inside that barrier.

“Hey, damn it!!! I feel pain too! Rika-!!!”

“I don’t know!!! Bear with it yourself, you idiot!!”

While blocking everything, Rokser, not in voice, grumbled within the barrier.

Seeing his reaction, Rika seemed oddly satisfied, as if relishing the situation.

Rokser, with a shiver down his spine, swallowed his saliva.

“I saw everything you did with Siel. You have experience in just hitting and fighting, right? Well done~ You might even pick up some crumbs from a women’s fight.”

“You saw everything!!”

Rika subtly mentioned Siel and Rokser’s actions, mocking him.

Though Rokser grumbled within the barrier, asking him to take it out.

“Your girl is in a fight right now, are you going to run away?”

Rica smirked as if to say, “Endure that much.”

There was a lot hidden inside.

It was the first time Rica had come out like that, trying to monopolize the locker every time.

Rockser looked at Rica with a flustered expression.

“So, do it well while you can.”

Rica crossed her arms, delivering a meaningful remark.

Her eyes, covered entirely like a delicate petal-flowered flower, shone sleek and sharp between the thin, sharp eyelashes, her red pupils blinking faintly.

“I feel like I’ve seen that expression before…”

In an instant, Rockser’s head throbbed as she realized that Rica had made that expression years ago.

Since experiencing the nightmare of young Rockser during the test when the hero’s mask fell a day ago, she naturally found Rica’s expression in Rockser’s original memories.

“Oh, that’s right. Rica made that expression when Rockser was too stubborn and Rica had to give up something…”

Rica’s eyes, which seemed fine but were not, looked cynical yet tender, sharp yet filled with sorrow.

Rockser gritted her teeth and reached her hand outside the curtain.

“!? Did you break through that!?”

Rica looked startled, once again showing the expression that this human was indeed crazy.

Soon, Rica’s expression changed from surprise to astonishment.

Rockser grabbed Rica’s arm with a wicked smile.

“Yes! So, you shouldn’t run away while your man is fighting!!”

As Rockser retorted Rica, pulling her closer and embracing her.

Rica, with widened eyes at his daring provocation, looked up at him as if puzzled.

“You didn’t even fight and just stood there!? And he’s your man?? Are you proposing right now!?”

Grabbing Rockser’s face with both hands, she stared at her as if demanding an immediate answer.

As if indicating that if she didn’t answer properly now, she would kill them both on the spot, Rica’s red eyes pressured her.

However, Rockser had long been through thick and thin among fierce women, like a seasoned veteran among wild beasts.

Skillfully matching Rica’s favorite head patting, she embraced her tightly.

Just as Rica was about to lose her temper, she blinked her eyes rapidly.

“Answer me!!!”

With a face reddened as if to say that if things went awry, she would devour them in every way, she glared at him fiercely.

But following orders here would not make her a maestro.

“It’s now, Jane!! Capture the moment!!!”

“Hey, you crazy person!!!!”

Rockser held Rica tightly, pressed her forehead against his, and signaled Jane.

“Got it!!! Thanks, Rica!!”

“I don’t want to hear you say thank you to me!!!”

As Jane’s body shuddered with fear at the intensity of Rockser’s words.

Even just looking at it, emitting an irrational flash so blinding that it seemed to blind the eyes and make the mind disappear completely, she quickly tried to wrap only her body in a black curtain.

“Where are you running off to!!”

“You crazy bastard!!! It hurts!!!”

In the novel, Rika tore apart the weaknesses of the tent that prevented her from hitting the body with a red and crimson spiderweb, as if tearing apart the seams of a friend’s checks.

“What kind of pervert tears things apart like this!?”

“Are you the only one allowed to wear anything!? That’s not right!! You too shoul…!! Ah! Don’t bite me!!!”

Eventually, Rika, exploding with anger, grabbed Roxer tightly, as if about to break his neck, and then bit him hard as if they were going to die together.

“Let’s see what happens after this is over for real.”

Then, with a chilling tone, she whispered in Roxer’s ear.

Was this what someone felt like before engaging in a defensive battle?

“…I should prepare to go to the other world and build some achievements.”

As soon as this was over, Roxer felt he should go back to what he had planned to do.

“You’ll definitely pay for making me like this. Take responsibility.”

“Ah! I said stop biting me again!!”

However, it seemed like Rika had already seen through such tactics, leaving marks on his body with her fangs.

Of course, their conversation was drowned out by their strength and blocked from others hearing.

“What on earth is happening inside? What are the demons doing?”

This was enough to make Erin, who was watching, feel flustered.

She thought it was lucky she hadn’t stepped in, fearing Rika’s reaction.

But strangely, Erin felt envious of Rika being embraced by Roxer.

“Ugh, I should prepare for recovery. Camilla, you should too… Camilla?”

Erin called out to Camilla, but strangely, there was no response.

Instead, Camilla was emitting an almost otherworldly aura, with her body shimmering slightly in a reddish hue.

‘What is it, what is it, what is it!? Why does this feel somewhat similar yet different from the strange power emanating from that weird object with insect-like wings that the cultist was holding? Is this power coming from Camilla?? It feels somewhat similar to the power felt when Roxer suddenly collided with a prototype of Mistein!?’

Erin felt that what Beelzebub used on Roxer’s body to absorb the prototype of Mistein emitted something similar to what the hero’s mask radiated.

As Camilla began to shimmer in a white light, she transformed into the shape of a longsword.

Onlookers were in a commotion.

“Could it be the forgotten relic of the lineage!?”

Jejun could not hide his astonishment upon seeing this.

A very long, double-edged sword, as depicted in the records.

Used until the man with blue eyes from the western region took the seat of the Celestial Horse.

The Western-style double-edged sword brought from his homeland shimmered in a golden pattern befitting its sacredness.

Meanwhile, Jegang, unable to sense this due to Rika’s tent, struggled to withstand the increasing power of Jein, which was growing to an unimaginable extent, shouting.

“Without the relic, it’s ultimately over, Jein!!! No matter how powerful the force is, it’s useless…!?”

He couldn’t speak as he began to summon the lost relic of the lineage before Jein’s eyes.

Due to Jein’s flash, Rika, feeling overwhelmed, quickly summoned the relic in front of Jein, urging him to finish it.

“Camilla!?”

Jein felt Camilla’s energy from something familiar yet dearly missed in the longsword that appeared before her eyes.

Watching Jegang and Jein’s reactions, Roxer roughly understood something.

‘Why did Camilla like Jein so much? Oh, so that’s why she liked me so much…!’

He had thought she was just an ordinary saint for healing and such, but perhaps she was a shortened form of a relic woman.

Not knowing why Camilla wasn’t involved in the main story, Roxer, in admiration, still prevented Rika from trying to surround the tent alone.

“Camilla… I see, so that’s why you liked me so much…”

Jane instinctively reached out to grab the relic lost by the Changgeom family, as if she were holding Camilla’s hand.
