The Death Knight Became an Escort Knight for the Saintess

61. Frozen Heart, Blood Banner, Death Knight’s Law [1]

61.

Serna and Voltrie were horrified as they watched Zerfied fall into the darkness in dismay. Serna knew. That the gravity reversal magic wasn’t canceled naturally.

No matter how much the upper part was blown away, the lower part of the Mage Tower was still supporting it. It is not that the minimum range in which magic is cast has disappeared. There is no way that a lot of wizards gathered their strength and cast it so easily. Someone deliberately turned it off.

Serna glared at the only person with such authority.

“Travagos… you… !!”

“Keukkeuk… ! That doesn’t work I’d rather have my arm cut off, but can we wait and see if our goal is broken? Serna, you were very talented, but you weren’t too rational.”

“Reason sucks. Is it reasonable to experiment with people without feeling anything?”

“They will be happy too. It becomes the foundation of the age of transcendence, nothing else! If we reach it, we will see a world incomparable to now!”

“That’s bullshit, I decided to call it crazy.”

Voltri whispered worriedly.

“Serna… Those two… !”

“I know, husband, but this bastard won’t let you go just because I’m going down. But since they’re the ones who broke the mage tower, I have to pray for them to be safe. Deal with this bastard and go get him right away. So hold on tight to me It will be a bit harsh.”

Fire and light swirled in the hands of the two wizards, respectively.

-Kooung! Thud! Cooong!

In the world of Zerpied, the standard of top and bottom was changing rapidly. Even when I was caught up in the explosion just before, the standards of the top and bottom changed quickly, but it was still a few times. The number of changes now exceeds dozens.

This change was even accompanied by a shock. His body spun in the air as he collided with the stone walls of the mage tower, bounced off, and collided again. Even in the middle of it, the Death Knight estimated the approximate distance between the floor and the remaining distance. It seemed that there was still some distance. He waited patiently.

Now.

When the sight grasped the primitive form of the concept of stomach, he reached out his hand. Soon, Partizan emerged from his own shadow that stretched across his stone wall. He grabbed the hilt of his spear and drove it right into the stone wall.

-Keyiik – !

As the sharpness pierced his body, the rocks let out a terrible scream. Unlike the world of the people of the world, they proved that they too could bleed reddish blood. Sparks scattered in all directions illuminated the empty space that was immersed in darkness for a moment.

Even after driving the spear into the rock, it took quite a while for the falling speed to decrease. The Death Knight and his saint stopped when they almost reached the bottom. As I jumped lightly, a thud echoed in all directions. It seemed like a fairly large joint.

The Death Knight looked up once. He had a long, vertical cut in the stone wall of the rock he had created. Zerfied turned his gaze and looked ahead. As expected, it was a fairly large joint. However, the cavity was connected like a road to the front. The length was longer than expected. The surroundings were full of silence.

Zerpied looked at the surrounding situation and confirmed the most important thing. He immediately looked at Ecilia, who was surrounded by a cloak. As I unfolded the cloak, sobs were heard.

“Sigh… ! Nope… ! Uh… !”

Her white face was covered with tears. Her slender body trembled wildly. From the room of Travagos, the lord of the magic tower, the world of the saintess has undergone countless changes. She cradled the leaping escort knight’s arm into hers, and she had to experience, by her standards, almost flying through the air.

In addition to her, her rays, lightning, and flames rushed at her. Of course, they couldn’t penetrate her escort knights, but even with her eyes closed, the screams of the magic and the grotesque sensations she felt even in the slightest made her stand on edge. What’s more, a huge explosion suddenly hits your ears… And the feeling of her spinning herself dozens of times more… ….

I was scared. It was so scary. Suddenly she fears that she will miss this only crutch, the escort driver. So, in the meantime, she closed her eyes tightly and hugged Zer Pied’s arm as hard as she could. Her ears were ringing She still felt herself caught in an explosion, or lightning, or beam.

Her eyes are spinning. Dizzy. The organs are clamoring to get out. It wasn’t until her little body wiggled a few times that she heard a familiar voice.

“… Line… lee… ah… !”

It was familiar, but I couldn’t tell whose voice it was. It was comfortable though. But who was it?

“Esilia-!”

“Heo Eok… ! Omg… ! Haha… !”

The saintess’ body was greatly shaken. She felt suddenly plunged into reality. Her body trembled at the strange feeling. Then, the familiar voice passed her ear.

“Esilia.”

The saintess raised her head, barely wanting to sit still, and looked at the source of her voice.

“Ecilia, are you okay?”

When she saw the blood-red eyes seeping through the cracks of her helmet, she almost collapsed from the tension. She was her escort knight. Tears poured out of her eyes.

“Huh… black… ! Ugh… ! Scared… ! I was scared… ! Fire… Lightning… ! Ugh… ! Knight… Knight… Knight… Article… Whoa… Sir….”

In a daze, the saintess repeated only the word knight. The Death Knight slowly placed her hand on the little body of her saintess.

“It’s okay, Ecilia. For you… No, we have no problem. Everything will be fine.”

Cilia nodded her head hurriedly. The saintess grabbed the arm of her escort knight with her trembling hand. The Death Knight let her saintess weep at will.

–

Zerpied cast a glance at Esilia.

She was sitting on a slightly large stone on the floor, controlling her breath. Her little body rose and fell. She looked better than before, but her saintess expression was still haggard. Because Jer Peed was thinking about whether or not to say what she was thinking, she finally decided that she would.

“Ecilia, are you okay now?”

The saintess looked at him with her slightly dazed expression and nodded helplessly. Still, she seems to have calmed down more than she did before, but I have to say that she’s glad. He quickly glanced around her, then turned his gaze back to the saintess.

Fortunately, the surroundings were still covered in silence. However, the place where they are now is the basement of the Mage Tower. It is definitely the enemy’s base. Don’t know what will happen I couldn’t stay here forever. He also said he hadn’t found Rianer’s bracelet yet. At least Death Knight wanted to take a look around. But if Lady’s condition is like this…….

“Good thing. Ecilia, would you like to rest here for a while? I’m leaving a part of me behind, so I’ll just take a quick look around and come back…….”

Escelia shook her head vigorously, horrified as if she had heard that the escort knight would leave her forever. Seeing that, the Death Knight let out a low moan.

“… Got it. Then, will Esilia be able to walk?”

Cilia whimpered and nodded her head. With the help of the escort knight, she slid down from the stone she was sitting on. Then, she frowned and let out a weak scream.

“Ouch!”

The Death Knight looked at the saintess. There were abrasions near her ankles. She was probably wounded by shrapnel as she scraped down a stone wall as a partisan. It was hard to see her bad, but she couldn’t get her to walk, even though she was helpless, she was hurt. Zer Pied turned around behind her and showed his broad back to her saintess.

“Get up.”

“Uh… ….”

“I can’t walk with her scars. Get up.”

There was a moment of silence, then a grumbling sound came from behind him. Before long, the small body of her saintess was placed on the wide back of the Death Knight. Zer Pied carried her saintess on her back and slowly began to advance into the cavity. Ecilia inhaled and exhaled her breath. She buried her own face into her Death Knight’s back.

It was solid. And it was wide. Enough to lean on her own body.

Jer Pied could feel her saintess’s breath becoming more stable as she leaned against her body. Because she became more and more stable with her little body rising and falling. But at the same time, her body was still trembling slightly.

She was proof that the saintess had not yet completely escaped from anxiety. Stepping inside her cavity, the Death Knight wondered what to say so she wouldn’t give her her insecurities. But she couldn’t think of the right words.

She’s like that in the Great Forest, and no matter how much she thinks about it, she doesn’t seem to have this kind of talent herself. Hey, isn’t it the first time escorting someone and escorting a lady? He hoped that what he was saying would have a good effect.

“Anyway, I really envy you.”

Hearing the voice of the escort knight, I felt the saintess raise her head in a rustle. Her long platinum-colored hair tickled the nape of Zerpied’s neck.

“Esilia, you are a priest. How envious it is that even if she is injured, she can treat her right there on the spot. If I had that ability, I would have no wish.”

The saintess sighed and faintly laughed from behind. Jer Pied thought she was glad she had spoken appropriately. However, what the saintess said was contrary to what he expected.

“No. I cannot heal myself.”

“…… You say you can’t?”

It was a word that she had brought out to cheer her up, but it disappeared from Zer Pied’s head in an instant. It was such an embarrassing thing. Her saintess hair moved and tickled him. It seemed to nod her head.

“Not only me… All priests cannot heal themselves.”

“… Why? Are you still a saint? And… Those who heal others can’t heal themselves?”

“Ummm, um…. I don’t know if this is an appropriate explanation. Knight, let’s say I lent you a gold coin. Are there any problems?”

“… No.”

I heard the faint laughter of the saintess. It was a laugh as if she were happy that her sister had gotten her brother right.

“Then… How about I lend some gold coins to Miss Serna or Mr. Voltri? Is there a problem here too?”

“No.”

“Then why am I lending the gold coins to me?”

Death Knight’s mouth did not open as he tried to say something. Impossible. According to Esilia’s words, the gold coins belonged to Esilia in the first place. She cannot lend herself her own. As the Death Knight kept her mouth shut, the saintess spoke in a soft voice.

“That’s right.”

The Death Knight seemed to have hit her head with a hammer made by melting tens of thousands of adamantium. He wondered why he thought it was natural for a priest to heal him.

Come to think of it, has Esilia ever shown herself healing herself? She wasn’t When she healed the elves in the great forest, she fainted, but she did not heal herself. At the time, she thought, she was just mentally exhausted to the point where she couldn’t use her divine powers. She was too complacent.

In case you don’t know, should I give you a rapier and a mangoche? He shook his head inwardly. Ecilia was in a weak state right now. Moreover, she only learned the basics of rapier swordsmanship. If she was given a rapier in this situation, she would most likely injure herself if she had to handle it.

After making his decision, Zerpied took out the mangoshuman that Miss Renemie had given him from the shadow and held it out to Ecilia. While she was looking at it with slightly blank eyes, Celia tilted her head, not knowing why she was giving it to herself now. Zerfied said in a serious voice.

“Take it, Esilia. This is the basement of the Magic Tower. We are still inside the Mage Tower. I don’t know what will happen.”

Cilia shuddered with her body. Her Death Knight’s words contained hints that he might fall away from her. As the saintess’ breathing quickened again, the Death Knight spoke quickly and quietly.

“Esilia, it’s a story that you don’t know. You are not fine now There is nothing wrong with being prepared.”

At his low words, Ecelia nodded her head slightly, and she carefully received the Meng Gauche. She clutched at it. It was then.
