by fnovelpia“We will live.”
Hand placed on head… .
No, it was a bony hand placed on Ronica’s head as if it were a phantom beast’s white bones, escaping from its burnt and torn body, as if to reassure her.
Even though Ronica was trembling, she could not take her eyes wide open from the undead Dirus.
Just no words came out.
In fact, Ronica was watching everything. Even at the moment my head was cut, I was feeling everything. For some reason, even though his head was cut off, he did not die.
By contacting the magic core.
That’s why it was so pathetic. The sight of Dirus not giving up until the end.
I didn’t understand again.
Even when he died.
And the nigger died.
This is how I came back to life.
The mental pain was too great.
I thought it would be nice if it was all a dream. It would be nice if it all never happened.
Such thoughts are shameful and pathetic.
Grumble.
Tears flowed.
I can’t say anything and just make eye contact.
“Because I will not die… .”
The voice of an undead cracks.
“Don’t even think about dying.”
A voice so heavy and painful that it hurts.
Okay.
Even the cold, hard feel of stroking my head.
Ronika slowly realized.
The nigger is dead.
The magic core was also broken.
What I wanted to protect so much was broken because of me.
Death cannot be avoided now.
If I die this time, I really die.
The black guy… Dangerous.
However, my body did not move.
Okay.
On the other hand, the black dog whose head was stroked slowly stood up with a clicking sound. Even though I had already surpassed my limit, I persevered and supported my body.
To protect yourself… .
Eventually, the dust clears. The Negro turned around in an infinitely calm mood.
The gods mocked him.
[…] I’m so shocked that I can’t even speak.]
[Wow, I feel bad. Dirty undead bastard. But now I can’t even be resurrected.]
[I’ve seen your tearful shit, but what can I do now? Do you think you can protect your child with a body like that?]
[ha ha ha!! No way! I will bury you both in peace with this body.]
I am so angry.
I hated myself for being so weak that I couldn’t even respond to those words.
Let alone protecting the nigger.
Far from being helpful.
It is becoming such a nuisance.
My pupils are shaking seriously.
The world seems to be shaking.
Then soon.
iced coffee-
Tuk.
As if it were cut off.
I started to feel disconnected from the world.
*
[Can you move? This is so pathetic.]
[Please give me an answer. Although it will be your last will. No, is he already dead? Because you are now undead.]
The taunts of the two guys.
They provoke me so much because of my shabby appearance.
To be exact, it seemed like he wanted to insult me for moving this far.
But there is no reason to waver.
There is something I must protect even if I die.
So it’s probably good. If that taunt gives you time to recover a little mana, you can listen to it a million times more.
Because I don’t have enough strength.
Because I am weak.
Even in this way, the gap must be reduced.
But the problem is… .
I glanced behind me.
“Ah… … .”
When Ronica looked dizzy, I sensed something was wrong. I felt like I had suffered a great mental shock. Maybe it’s a side effect of the magic core’s resurrection.
But I can’t comfort you now.
It must be protected somehow.
Let’s focus again.
To prepare for a day like this, I trained to transcend my limitations.
We must overcome that limit again.
Fortunately, as I turned into a lich, my physical limitations widened significantly. I can’t generate proper power because I don’t have mana, but I thought that if I just dodged the attack and drained it, it would work out somehow.
A wind cloud sword that uses the wind.
Dynamic and instantaneous power zone.
I am personally realizing something in the midst of it all. I need to let go of the attack and use it.
[really… It’s annoying. That humble look that still wants to give it a try.]
[I wonder what will happen if that child dies.]
[There’s nothing to see. I’ll kill you right away!!]
Prisily moves.
The target is Ronica, not me.
[haha! Despair now!!]
When you try to stop it, Gaia quickly approaches and punches you. Dirt rose from the ground and tried to trap me.
Ah, that was wrong.
It might be okay if it’s just one person, but if two people attack at the same time, I can’t protect Ronica.
It would be difficult to avoid an immediate attack.
I just don’t know.
What should I do?
What more should I do?
but.
Even though I felt hopeless and wanted to give up, when I realized that my body was already moving.
fault.
I quickly jumped up and got away from the raised dirt area. As if she had been waiting for that moment, Gaia thrust her fist with terrifying power.
Quaaa-!!!!!
I blocked it with both arms.
I held my breath.
There wasn’t even a moan.
But you must not lose your mind.
This impact literally rotates the drill.
Wow!!!
They rushed towards Priscilla, who was hitting Ronica, and for an instant, they raised their hands like a Taegeuk sign.
use the wind
Take dynamic movements.
Take advantage of the opponent’s power.
[It’s already late!!]
Priscilla’s hands shine like the sun and tries to hit Ronica down.
Even if he was hit by my attack, he seemed determined to kill Ronica. No, in my exhausted state, my attack didn’t seem threatening to begin with.
Is it okay to do something?
Is it impossible to reverse this situation?
Again, a sense of shame comes over me.
Nevertheless, I exerted as much strength as I could. If it’s not threatening, be more threatening.
Wind and accelerated forces.
The two hands, spread like Taegeuk (Taegeuk), were brought together as if rotating in the center, and the force was gathered in one place and amplified.
The realization of a new martial art comes to me. Until now, I had only thought about my own strength. Fighting means clashing, and you have to be able to use that power and the situation itself.
However, there is no time to get drunk on enlightenment.
You have to use all your strength to kill him.
Wind Cloud Sword + Yeolyul Fist.
Pungyul Pavilion.
Wind wave.
Gather the wind and currents in one place like the horns of a spiral, then spin vertically and strike down with one foot.
Phew!!!-
[Sigh!… .]
Priscilla, feeling uncomfortable, quickly turned her attack towards me.
Wow!!
Kwaaa!!!
The sun bursts with light.
At the same time I pushed him away, I was also thrown away.
Whiik!!
I quickly turned my body around. The force causing it to bounce away must be minimized. We have to somehow reach back and protect Ronica.
However, one more fact was overlooked.
[You humble thing. Don’t you know that no matter how hard you try, nothing will change!!]
Gaia was already behind Ronica.
She held an earth spear as sharp as an icicle in both hands and tried to strike Ronika down.
[ha ha ha!! Feel so good. Just kill it!!]
This time Priscilla came towards me, as if to prevent me from getting closer.
iced coffee.
It doesn’t come to mind.
A policy that must be followed.
My hair turns white.
The pupils are enlarged. Gaia’s attack pierced Ronica’s head –
Sigh!!
[Huh!?]
Suddenly, a black energy passed by.
The spear of the earth was cut down.
What was the blow just now? While Gaia was confused, someone passed by.
[What… Who are you!!]
Of course there is no answer.
The armored knight who suddenly appeared did not respond, but ran away with Ronica in tow, his eyes burning red.
It looks like he won’t fight.
It seems like he knows his situation.
Rauf. He appeared as if by a miracle and fled the battlefield carrying his daughter.
ah.
There was some hope.
If only I could send my disciple alive… .
If only I could.
[dare!! Where are you coming from and interfering with me!!!!]
Gaia became enraged, turning over all the surrounding soil and sending out huge boulders.
Lauf’s skills won’t last long.
I have to stop it.
[Don’t be distracted!!]
Quagwagwang!!!!
“Pfft!!… .”
Cracks in bones.
I was running towards Priscilla.
When the light touched Priscilla’s fist, a powerful explosion occurred. However, he ignored the impact and jumped by adding rotation to the momentum of the explosion.
Gaia must be stopped.
To save my disciple.
[How dare you continue to ignore me!!]
Priscilla tries to interfere again.
Let’s focus. Let’s stay focused. You shouldn’t miss anything. Everything on the battlefield must be captured.
Shoo!!
A fist approaching slowly.
I can see the trajectory. I can even feel the movement that will be linked to the next movement.
Although it is empty… It is drawn.
My wish to avoid anything.
Swish.
Whiik!!
[her?]
avoided.
He leaped again with one foot and passed by.
Tadadat!!
[You guy!!]
The enraged guy sends out several sun spheres. Rather, it went well. At the moment of the explosion, I turned around and took a defensive stance.
Kwagwagwagwang!!
Powerful shock.
Quickly.
Cracks in bones.
A crack also appeared on my forehead.
Okay.
If I can protect my disciple with this, I can do anything.
Shuuuk!!
Another rotation was added to match the timing of the explosion. They quickly rushed towards Gaia.
Then he looked at Rauf’s situation.
Whilick~
Sigh!!
Shoo!!
Kakak!!
Rauf was soon caught up by Gaia and engaged in a battle. He must have been prepared to die from the beginning, but he received Gaia’s fist even though he was pushed back.
But there must be no further delay.
His posture is already breaking down.
Rauf’s skills are still far behind. I can’t avoid that attack.
I have to take my time.
Once again, we gathered our strength into one point.
Wind around you.
The driving force of the explosion.
All to the center of rotation.
Pungyul Pavilion.
Shoot!!!-
Wow!!
[Ugh!!… .]
It hit the guy’s side. The guy was pushed back by the sudden surprise attack.
“Go!! Get out of here right now. Lauf!!!!”
“… … Just wait a moment.”
A brief moment.
Rauf said that and turned around again.
Fortunately, he followed my wishes. The guy took care of his daughter first and then started running away again.
[You should stop dying!!!]
Wow!!
Bye!
A tremendous shock hits you.
Before I knew it, Gaia’s fist, which had counterattacked, landed squarely. Bone fragments crumble and fly away.
Unlike Priscilla, she is a physical force herself.
Rather, the danger to me is Gaia.
It feels like the world is shaking. Nevertheless, my eyes were focused on one place. This time, Priscilla was seen chasing Rauf.
ha… .
We have to stop it. We have to keep squeezing out the power we don’t even know where it comes from. I feel my whole body collapsing, but I can’t stop.
Because there are things I have to protect.
I can never send it.
He moved towards Priscilla again.
[under? Are you ignoring me?]
Then Gaia attacks again.
this time… How do I stop it?
Fortunately, the trajectory is visible again.
Don’t stop your legs.
Move.
Move more.
Take your time somehow.
Even if your body is crushed, keep moving.
To protect.

… Ronica’s eyes are blurry.
I opened my eyes, but couldn’t see anything. I just felt dizzy.
By the time I contacted and fought the black man, my body had already reached its limit. I was forcing myself to keep my body strong so that I wouldn’t be surprised if I died right now.
Lonica could not transcend the limits of her limitations like the Negro.
Mentally too.
Even physically.
It exceeded everything young Ronika could tolerate.
After being revived by the power of the magic core, her body regained some strength, but despite this, Ronica was unable to move her body.
Because it’s already on the verge of destruction.
“Daughter… Just hold on a little longer.”
however… .
What is this texture?
He barely realized that someone was holding him and running.
It felt strange.
Not a nigger.
But it’s familiar.
Maybe it felt warm.
“Now… I will not avoid you.”
A voice full of regret.
Why does it sound so sad? Just hearing it brings tears to my eyes. Because of this, a ray of sanity that had been running away somewhere came back.
But I don’t have the energy to check.
The eyes become increasingly blurry.
The world turns black.
A sinking feeling.
Gotta help the nigger.
The nigger hasn’t given up yet.
What is he doing so pitifully?
I have to get up again somehow.
But what should I do?
… I fall into the abyss of thoughts.
Will my weak self really be able to help? Isn’t it just a hindrance like now?
They say we could always be together, but that wasn’t the case now. In the end, when it reached its limit, it was such a hindrance.
I feel resentful.
Still, I can’t do anything.
I’m so angry that tears come out again.
If you cry like that… .
Knock knock.
It felt like something was touching him.
It seems like it’s wiping away tears.
It feels like I’m stroking my head.
It felt like I was being hugged tightly.
When you realize it, it is a black space. Numerous children were surrounding him.
‘… who… nine?… … .’
‘Do not give up.’
A child mutters like that.
At that moment, a memory came to mind.
It was the memory of a child whose organs were removed and experimented on in Caesar’s laboratory.
‘You…’ .’
When did it stick together?
It suddenly occurred to me.
When I first encountered Priscilla in the basement of the Magic Tower, these children streamed in.
Not only that, there was also a soul behind him who had almost been sacrificed by Gaia. All of them were only looking at themselves.
Just to help yourself.
‘We’ll help.’
ah… .
Those words brought me back to my senses a little.
Why was I dragging my feet helplessly? Even at this moment, the black man is fighting with his life on fire to protect himself.
You can’t be shabby.
It takes strength.
strong power.
We need the strength to stand up confidently in the face of this unreasonable violence.
The moment I made up my mind, my senses came back.
It can’t go on like this.
Something has to be done.
‘… Help me.’
asked the children.
I wanted to help in some way.
Then the children smiled and walked away.
Slurp.
It sinks deep into the black space.
I suppressed my anger.
I regained my calm mind.
In that state, he swam into the deep.
I realized it instinctively. That there is something down here that the children lead us to.
It went on without stopping.
It went down endlessly.
We entered a black space where there was nothing.
Then a new voice is heard again.
[…] … Daughter.]
It was a warm voice filled with similar emotions to what I heard outside.
I could see why.
It was confusing, but I understood it very clearly.
The one who took on the form of the lord of the castle.
The one who makes sad eye contact.
Forgotten memories began to emerge.
“… … … mom… .”
The family I thought I lost. That it was always with you.
But there was no time for a reunion.
Because there is no time to think deeply.
Because there are things that must be kept.
Ronica immediately cried out desperately.
“Please help!!”
[…] … … .]
On that.
Seongju made a sadder face.
It’s as if he doesn’t want to listen to that request.
But couldn’t I just keep ignoring it? Seongju suppressed his emotions and answered slowly.
[It’s still early. If I do something wrong, I will lose you. but… Still, would you take it?]
“That’s better!! Rather than a nigger dying… .”
[…] then… … Be prepared.]
There was no proper conversation between mother and daughter.
Because the situation was that desperate.
and… .
Whoops-
A chilling sensation spread from the abyss along with a crack in the space.
The sealed soul crack is crushed.
The soul that was sleeping.
A talent that could not be awakened.
Sigh!-
The powerful and countless souls that past castle lords had collected to gain power began to well up inside Ronica.
but.
Tiring!!
◎︎ Exceeds the limit of the Soul Master.
◎︎ The sealed soul is out of control.
◎︎ An out-of-control soul devours the body.
A power that cannot be controlled by anyone other than the current lord of the castle.
Or get eaten.
Or hold on.
Now it has become irreversible.
