35. I told you, I’m strong! (3)

Zumei in front of me was glaring at me with the three eyes on his head, as if he was wary of my sudden change in mood.

The moment I moved my body even slightly, I could see the foreboding of a breath coming from its mouth as if it was about to blow its breath, and its three tails were gathered together and stretched out as if they were about to stab me at any moment.

The sight was so funny that I held the hauteclair in both hands tightly once more and flapped my wings made of flames as I flew towards the thing.

The guy also saw my movements and breathed out his breath from his head, but I pushed away the breath using the [Shield. Atlantes] I had made in advance and approached him.

With a ‘chiik! ‘ sound, the pitch-black breath collided with the shield, and a ‘squeak’ sound was heard along with a cracking sound.

‘This… might be a little dangerous… but! ‘

As the shield of flames made of divine power began to crack due to the guy’s breath, the guy once again let out a strong breath, trying to destroy me.

But there’s one thing he doesn’t know. My shield… will return to its original state if I pour all my divine power into it…!

That was one of the reasons why the guy was defeated. As soon as I reached the guy, cutting his breath in half, I swung my sword at the guy who opened his eyes wide in surprise.

A ‘squeak’ sound is heard along with a ‘crack! ‘ sound as the heads on either side are cut off.

As he swung his left sword from top to bottom again, the guy’s body flinched and he retreated, so he activated Hauteclair’s ability and quickly headed back.

He swung his left sword from left to right, then immediately his right sword from right to left, then again swung his left sword from bottom to top and his right sword from top to bottom.

Repeat it to rapidly feed the guy a series of attacks, moving at high speeds and sending out sword flames in all directions.

As the red flashes move so fast that they appear to rotate around the guy, sword auras flying from all directions simultaneously strike the guy’s body.

As I quickly turned my body forward and slashed vertically, I passed the guy, and the guy who was called the legendary three-headed dragon, cut off the last remaining neck.

It starts to fall as its arms, legs, wings and tail are cut off all at once.

As I watched the guy fall, letting out a heavy breath, I felt a strange sensation in my throat and let out a ‘gulp, gulp’ before seeing a dark red clump of blood on my hand.

My body had grown once, but it had only been a day or two since then, so I felt a slight sense of inadequacy as I felt a strange sensation in my mouth along with the pungent smell of blood, perhaps due to the aftereffects of overdoing it.

The moment I turned around and was about to deal with the wyvern still in the sky, burning the blood on my hands with the holy fire, I felt the energy of Thanatos.

As I quickly lowered my head, Zumei spread her wings and let out a loud cry, as if the wounds I had inflicted had already healed.

The moment you think it looks exactly the same as before, a strange shape begins to appear.

This time, two heads were growing from the severed neck of the guy.

It’s like the saying, if you cut off one tree, two heads will grow…

*****

” You saw that? Charlotte would take her down in no time. ”

Yeonseo confidently told Yujiseong that what she said was right, but his expression was not good.

” Sure, I did knock it down like you said. ”

As he was talking while looking at the falling Zumei from the sky, someone’s voice was suddenly heard around him.

” Did you get it?! ”

At that sound, the person next to him covered the mouth of the person who made the sound.

” This crazy guy! What should I do if you say that!!! ”

” Ugh…ugh!!! ”

When Yeonseo saw that, she hit her forehead and looked up at the sky, and saw Zumei returning to her original form.

But this time, Zumei is growing not three heads, but six heads.

Yeonseo opens her book of magic and shouts at Yujisung in an unexpected situation.

” What should I do…?! ”

” What should I do… I have to stop him from coming here. Everyone, prepare to intercept!!! ”

At his words, everyone standing against the wall begins to use their abilities to intercept the wyverns and Zumei flying towards this place.

The ice spear that flies with Yeonseo’s summons, and the Yujiseong that collects the debris that other people fly and makes it his own to grind them down.

However, despite their efforts, Zumei dodges the attacks with a speed that is hard to believe comes from its massive body, and begins to thrust its head towards them, preparing to breathe out its breath.

At that sight, Yeonseo quickly stops attacking and prepares by creating all the barriers she can with the knowledge she gained from Richie, but…

” Shit…! This isn’t enough!!! ”

Jisung looked around at her scream and opened his mouth to create a shield out of the debris under his control and make a path towards the guy.

” Sorry… If I don’t come back, could you tell me that I’m glad we met… ”

” Yes? Wait a minute! ”

Yeonseo tried to grab him, but she was unable to do so because she was concentrating on blocking the breath that Zumei was releasing.

‘Charlotte… I’m sorry… ‘

The moment I closed my eyes as if I had no choice but to turn away from him as he ran towards Zumei,

” I told you not to move your body on your own! ”

Yeonseo opened her eyes at the sound of her sword hitting the floor with a ‘thud’ and looked there to see her sword, [Kurtana], which had always protected them, stuck there.

As Charlotte creates [Region. Brittany], she begins to push away Zumei’s breath, which was difficult to block with her own barrier, and a girl with red wings appears.

And she seemed dumbfounded at the sight of Yujiseong being held in her hand.

” Sigh, don’t make me worry for nothing… idiot. ”

*****

I quickly moved to block the breath that Zumei was spewing towards Yeonseo and her brother.

It seemed like Yeonseo was holding out to some extent with the barrier she had created, but… she realized that it wasn’t enough and created a protective area with a sword. The moment she pulled out the ‘Kurtana’, the figure of a person was revealed.

As I saw my brother running towards Zumei, who was creating a large shield on his arm and breathing out his breath, I remembered how Hyunseok had been badly injured before… and I felt like I was going to lose someone precious to me again.

I poured out my divine power to the max, not caring what would happen to my body, and ran at a speed I had never been able to achieve before, stabbing my sword into the ground and grabbing my brother who was running towards me, creating a territory.

Zumei, who saw that his breath was being pushed away by that area, quickly turned his body and started flying in the opposite direction.

” Haa, seriously, I told you not to act recklessly! Why aren’t you listening to me! Again… Again… ”

I got angry and grabbed my brother by the collar, then I punched him in the chest and vented my anger on him, and he hugged me.

” I’m sorry. But just now… I had to save the people here even if it meant doing that… ”

” Ugh, we finally met again… I don’t want to part ways like this… ”

” I’m sorry. Really… This won’t happen again. ”

” Really…? ”

” Really? You don’t trust me? ”

As I looked at my brother’s smiling face as if nothing had happened as usual… I…

” I can’t believe it. How can I trust someone who takes money from my wallet while I’m sleeping and eats chicken by himself? ”

” No, when are you talking about… ”

” Wow… you did something so crappy? I’m a little disappointed. ”

” Oww…! You piece of trash…! ”

” Oh, these are real? Okay! Quickly assess the situation and report back! ”

Seeing people who seemed to know my brother quickly grasp the situation while just letting the jokes flow by… I felt like things had changed a little.

My brother, who was hugging me as I looked at him like that, let go of me and opened his mouth after looking in the direction where Zumei had flown.

” You and Yeonseo, let’s go quickly now. We can do something about this place between us now. ”

” Yes? What does that mean? ”

Yeonseo asked why, as if she didn’t understand what her brother was saying.

” Zumei. The guy flew to where Hyunseok is now. He probably plans to come back here with his original group. ”

His words made my heart sink.

I quickly turned my head and looked in the direction the guy was heading… It was definitely in the direction Hyunseok was going.

” What the heck!! That damn guy…! ”

The moment he turned his body and was about to fly away, the wings of flame on his back began to emit feathers and disappear, and he fell to the ground.

It was the result of moving too hard a little while ago. I tried to get up my trembling body, but it wouldn’t come up, so I got impatient and just kept hitting the floor with a ‘thud’, and a hand grabbed my arm.

” You idiot! I told you to tell me if it was hard! ”

” Yeonseo…? ”

” Sigh, really… If you’re just impatient, things won’t work out. Let’s go. I’ll give you a ride. You just focus on recovering. ”

Yeonseo, who had raised me using the summoner, began to create a giant bird.

” Summon. [Albatross] ”

A giant bird that flutters and starts flying in the sky as soon as you give a signal to the summoned being that came out and burned its body.

” Then, be careful on your way back. Don’t worry about this, okay? ”

” Got it! ”

Yeonseo began to control the bird, responding to her brother’s words.

We are chasing Zumei at high speed.

I just hoped that the person in front of him would be safe… and prayed.
