67 – Travel (7)

I can see the sky becoming dark.

Everything that was the ceiling just a moment ago has fallen to the floor.

“···Ha, haha!”

Does it make me feel better? In the background where the temple and the surrounding landscape were drawn in a straight line, Mort was smiling quietly.

‘Stop this?’

On the other hand, I was not able to defeat Mort even though I took the dragon’s blood water and used all my might to launch a space attack, so I was unable to laugh.

It was worth it. Mort, filled with starlight and mana, completely destroyed the two sword strikes that flew through space with incredible swordsmanship.

This was very embarrassing to me, who had thought that this technique would be able to cut down beings like the Seven Deadly Sins in one fell swoop.

‘Yes, I’m glad I found out now.’

A fact I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t encountered Mort.

The beings in the reality I live in are different from the beings in the game.

They are significantly stronger than them. There is no such thing as a pattern.

So, we must abandon all arrogance such as ‘This will be enough.’

“···I’ll go this time.”

As I was lost in thought for a moment, I heard a loud voice.

Looking ahead, Mort was smiling broadly as if he was really enjoying this situation.

“But…”

“···?”

“Can you show me that face?”

As I asked, Mort raised his hand and began to smooth his face, and I looked at his face closely.

You can see raised gray spots on the skin.

Blue hair can be seen here and there among the jet black hair.

The sight is clearly different from what you see on the other side of the monitor, so one conclusion is naturally drawn.

At this point, Mort was not completely possessed by demonic energy.

Once such a conclusion is reached, a question arises.

“Let me ask you just one question.”

“···.”

“Morte, why are you like that?”

This was something that did not appear in the game.

The former warrior who was said to be more just than anyone else,

The fallen hero appeared out of nowhere and threatened the player.

What on earth led to his corruption?

“···.”

I asked politely because I was genuinely curious.

As if my question had triggered a seizure, Mort just frowned and filled his sword with magical energy.

“Then what…”

What can we do? There is no choice but to suppress it.

Thinking like that, I was just about to fool the scales again.

-Kwakwauk!

Dozens of arrows made of fireballs and wind rained down on Mort, and Mort struck them down with his sword.

‘Why is he here again?’

I had to tilt my head as I reflexively looked away.

Light blue hair blowing in the wind,

Pure white skin, jet black eyes.

And an expression of exasperation that I have never seen before.

The woman who poured spirit magic on Mort was none other than Seiji.

“···Face.”

Morte, who was looking away with me, hurriedly covered his face with one hand and whispered quietly to me.

“I remembered.”

Then he swung a sword full of magical energy in the air. A black crack appears along the sword.

When I realized this, I immediately swung my sword and tried to draw a solid white line in the crack.

-Chaaaaa!

The pure white solid line was just drawn in the air, and the black cracks and mortar had suddenly disappeared from sight.

“It’s fast…”

I didn’t expect you to run away so suddenly.

It was disappointing. Since I drank the dragon’s blood water, I should have killed him beforehand or obtained some information that I didn’t know, but I lost it right before my eyes.

“Are you okay?”

As I was quenching my appetite with regret, Seiji came up next to me and asked that question.

“Yes, but…”

After brushing off her regrets and answering her question, I immediately asked her back.

“Why are you here?”

Is it because I am learning emotions?

When Seiji heard my question, his expression was filled with confusion.

****

The banquet hall in the mansion was in chaos.

Goshen raised his demon spirit and was attaching the upper and lower body of Jetty, who had been cut in half.

“Hey, is it because the kids are eating well and growing up well these days? “The standard is higher than I thought.”

“Haha, that’s right.”

Despite having no lower body, Jetty was smiling broadly, unable to hide his happy expression.

“Well, no matter how hard we try, the result will be the same.”

“Yes, there is nothing more enjoyable than tearing open the stomach of a prey with a glimmer of hope.”

As Goshen said this, he recalled the surprising sight the prey showed earlier.

An artifact that dispels all mental magic,

A huge sub-space that accommodates about 20 people,

And even the starlight that instantly cut down Jetty, who was extremely excited.

They were all children with such brilliant talent that I wanted to trample them.

“But it looks like the person you mentioned didn’t go into the cave.”

“It seemed like he went out for a while. Don’t worry. “I will be back soon.”

“Yes, he is the one I’m most looking forward to. Now, shall we go first?”

After confirming that both Jetty’s upper and lower bodies were attached, Goshen stood up and said this.

Feeling with the palm of your hand that your family members are chomping at your appetite.

****

My body is shaking. The thought is frozen and does not rotate.

The words spoken by the man who took off her bast mask and approached me continued to echo in her head.

-“Rose, I really missed you.”

Zetty, a man with dark blue hair, approached him with a sinister smile.

He was a nightmare from my past that I could never forget.

Thump, thump. While a loud noise was coming from the white stone pile, someone spoke to me.

“Are you okay?”

When I turned my head, I saw Fran sitting against the wall with blood all over her body, looking at me.

“Your friend said so. “I think I can last an hour.”

Fran said, looking towards the entrance of the cave where a pile of white stones was piled up.

“Hey, Rose.”

This time a clear voice calls me. When I turn my head, I see Daisy looking very tired, perhaps because she is maintaining a large-scale subspace magic.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but can’t you think about how we feel when we look at you? “If you’re going to keep behaving like that, why don’t you just go into sub-space?”

“I am…”

“Camel said that. If anything happens, you will be the biggest help. But do you know what you look like now? “What did you learn to use swordsmanship for?”

“···.”

“When I saw that pile of rocks, it couldn’t last even 10 more minutes.”

Daisy said that, stood up and dusted off her clothes.

“Not even 10 minutes. “It will be soon.”

Fran seemed to have the same opinion as Daisy, and before he knew it, he was standing up and pulling out his sword.

On the other hand.

What on earth am I doing now?

Daisy’s words keep ringing in my head.

Where did you learn to use the sword? Of course…

-“Next time, I will protect you.”

I suddenly remember the words I said directly to Carmel, who was sleeping in the log cabin.

Then I came to my senses, and my frozen thoughts began to rotate.

My trembling body calms down, and my hand touches the handle of the sword.

-Quaaang!

A loud roar is heard as the white stone pile collapses.

What you see beyond that are the maids and butlers whose pupils are out of focus, and Jetty, the former head butler of Count Goshen and Viscount Darmian.

Daisy begins to draw a magic circle in the air.

Fran begins to rush forward, holding a sword filled with starlight.

I saw that.

From Noble mtl dot com

-Grumbling.

I catch my breath, pull out my sword, and swing it.

Just as Camel taught me.

****

“Sage.”

“Yes…”

Is it because he missed the man who killed his mother?

Or is it because I asked with a straight face?

Seiji, who said he was secretly following me because he was worried, responded with a sullen expression.

‘I think so, too.’

Sage is Caroline’s daughter.

Mort killed Caroline.

I commanded Sage to live with her emotions.

So it was natural.

When Seiji saw Mort’s face, he became angry and attacked Mort.

Of course, it was still a pity that I lost Mort right in front of my eyes.

‘Well, today is not the only opportunity.’

I decided to just move on and spoke to Seiji while looking at the back of the mansion, where I could feel the demonic energy desperately.

“We’ll talk more later.”

“You will be scolded more…”

“Let’s go first.”

“···Yes.”

****

You can see the butler and maids lying dead on the floor.

Fran is seen bleeding and fighting with the bizarre maw connected to the palm of Count Goshen.

Daisy looks tired and is pouring magic at the zombies that are running towards her.

And.

I see the devil’s face holding my neck with his right hand and lifting me up.

“Ke, keek!”

I want to say something, but my voice doesn’t come out.

My airway is blocked by the cold and harsh grip, and I just burst out coughing.

“Rose, you probably don’t know. “She has grown into such a mature woman, and it makes me so proud to be able to teach her something as an adult.”

Jetti’s eyes, smiling sinisterly, scan my body. It feels like bugs are crawling around.

Anger is rising, but this damned body, completely subdued, does not move a single finger.

“Goshen.”

“Huh?”

“Can I start first?”

“Yes, do it first. “I’ll be there soon too.”

When Jetty asked politely, the Count, who was not breaking a sweat, smiled and answered.

-Quang!

As Fran is thrown against the wall, a loud roar echoes through the cave.

“Uh huh, I guess you don’t have time to worry about anything else.”

In the meantime, a creepy voice is heard.

I feel a cold touch through my shirt. Jetty’s left hand is fiddling with the shirt I’m wearing.

-Jiik!

The shirt is torn. With a patter, the button falls to the floor, and I feel a chill on my inner skin exposed to the cold air.

“Heh, heh!”

Zetty’s left hand comes up, smiling disgustingly, and tries to touch my underwear.

As my vision becomes increasingly blurred, my voice stops coming out, and tears begin to form in my eyes.

It was then.

-Chaaaaa!

With the sound of something breaking apart.

“Hey.”

A welcome voice was heard.

“Let go of that hand.”
