Quang!

Whirling!

Squeak!

Boom, boom, boom!

Explosions everywhere.

Every time the princess snapped her fingers, the ground beneath her feet exploded.

The flowers and trees that filled the greenhouse were no longer there. Even though it was frozen, cut, and burned, the fenced greenhouse remained strong.

‘shit……!’

Sasha was scared and moved her body.

‘What is this?!’

If you just snap your fingers, it explodes, and if you swing your hand, magic is created according to the trajectory.

I was able to see it because Sasha was paying attention to Marian’s hand gestures. As she clenched and unclenched her fist, something condensed.

Soon, a sphere of compressed air flew out.

‘Wind magic?’

Sasha barely turned around. The skirt that touched slightly was rounded. It wasn’t even cut, but as if it had been ground into chunks. The small sphere continued to move forward, grinding down everything that stood in its way. It finally exploded, tearing everything around it.

“Crazy!”

Sasha didn’t even have time to catch her breath. Magic of terrible power continues to fly. The sphere that I thought I had completely avoided fused with fire and became an even more powerful magic.

Even if you swing your hand, it explodes, and if you stomp your foot, it explodes.

This is a wizard?

I knew because there was a wizard in the organization. It usually takes 15 seconds to a few minutes to chant a spell. I know that depending on the wizard’s level, they can stock as many magic spells as there are fingers, but the number of magic spells that have already flown is more than dozens.

A white sphere flies out again.

‘Cut!’

Sasha took a stance. The pitch-black knife became even blacker, and the pitch-black aura grew longer and longer, approaching 1 meter. She thought of her older brother who was a sword master.

‘Let’s cut that thing down and dig in!’

It was the moment when the aura and the sphere, which seemed capable of cutting through anything, collided.

Wow! The sound of metal grinding at high speed and a clank.

“Aaagh!”

Sasha’s wrist was strangely twisted.

“Ugh.”

Sasha let go of the dagger and rolled on the floor.

‘How can magic…!’

It was when I barely stood up. A huge ice spear flew at Sasha.

“Ugh…!”

Blood splattered. I feel a tingling pain in my legs. Sasha, who narrowly avoided it, fired a spell. The magic used by Sasha was blocked by Marian’s barrier as if it were a breeze.

The inside of the greenhouse looked as if there was a war going on. It was difficult to move as it was dug up here and there as if a meteorite had fallen. The only place that was ok was the place where the princess was. Even the flowers and trees that have not changed at all since the beginning.

“Hmm……”

Marian, who stopped attacking for a moment, let out a small noise and tilted her head to the left.

Sasha focused on her hands and feet and wondered how to dig in.

‘Okay, if it doesn’t hit you, that’s it.’

[It’s dangerous.]

A young man’s voice.

It was a grimoire that had been quiet so far.

‘what?’

[You can never win.]

It was something that even Sasha had felt intuitively, but those words made her heart sink.

‘Way?’

[There is a way to escape.]

‘What are you talking about! That’s right, you’re a human!’

[Didn’t I tell you that among humans, there are not many people who can be your opponent, and that’s not a human, but a high elf?]

‘What do you mean, the princess is definitely human!’

[…hmm. Look at the energy. I don’t know. Anyway, one thing is certain: you can’t win.]

“Did you enjoy dancing?”

Immediately after Marianne said that, she smiled.

“Ahhhh!”

Sasha screamed.

“Gagging.”

Red blood was spitting out from the mouth.

Sasha slowly looked down at her chest. A stone pillar the size of my forearm pierced my abdomen.

“Kuu, uh, how…”

I couldn’t see anything. No, the princess’s hands and feet continued to move, and while she listened to the grimoire’s voice, she did not take her gaze off for even a moment. The princess still is.

[It is space magic.]

“What…?”

[It’s a combination of two types of magic, you can’t avoid it with your eyes.]

What is that? It’s a foul.

What about fingers in the first place?

“Ahhhh!”

Sasha knelt down. Sharp ice pierced my feet. Painful, cold and numb.

“Ah. That look. Why does the magic go out even though I don’t move my hands? Is that it?”

Marian grinned.

“I told you, right? Did you enjoy dancing? My hand gestures are like a conductor directing your dance. You are a doll that moves according to my will.”

“Well, what is that…”

“Don’t you understand even if I tell you this? Yes, to put it simply for you, I played with it.”

Sasha’s complexion turned pale when she saw Marian’s happy expression.

I finally understood.

Could a lion be afraid of a trap set by a mouse?

From the beginning, this was not a fight or a duel.

From then on, it was one-sided violence.

“Wow. I’m glad you’re pretty strong. I was worried that it would break quickly, but it was a useless worry.”

Sasha, completely devastated, crawled on the floor.

“Aaaagh!”

A small whirlwind approaches Sasha’s hand. The hands are torn apart with an eerie sound.

“Help me, help me!”

[It’s impossible. Even if you hand over your entire soul, for now. A gap is needed.]

‘What are you doing when you’re so confident?’

[This is also my mistake, so I will help you.]

“Aaaagh!”

“Help? Was there anyone who could help you? ah. okay. collaborator? who is this? Tell me?”

Marian approached, speaking softly. The sight of her bending her knees in front of Sasha looked like a child harassing a bug.

“Ugh, Lord, die!”

Sasha waved her hand. The black force that formed on her fingers pierced Marian.

“Aaaagh!”

The one who screamed was Sasha. The barrier did not budge, but rather Sasha’s fingers were twisted and her forearm was split vertically. As if the attack was reflected.

“I’m glad you haven’t given up yet.”

Marian smiled. Don’t give up, keep struggling. Don’t lose hope, so it’s more fun to step on it, right?

Her eyes said so.

“Ahh, go away! Don’t come!”

“Do you understand now? The moment you saw me, you had to run away.”

Marian’s eyes sparkled as she watched Sasha crawling away. Her eyes were already looking at Sasha’s regenerating right arm. It’s not Sasha’s magic. It comes from Sasha, but it’s something different.

‘what? ‘Is this your first time feeling like this?’

“What are you hiding?”

Marian narrowed her eyes.

‘Help me! ‘Why aren’t you saying anything!’

“I want you to help me!”

“Hmm… Who are you talking to?”

“Hehehehe.”

Marian trampled Sasha with the sharp heel of her shoe. Sasha suffered with bloodshot eyes as the heel of her shoe went right into the back of her hand, which was starting to regenerate.

“Not answering? Are you still not right?”

Knock, knock, knock. Marian kicked Sasha recklessly.

“Of course, beating it directly relieves stress.”

“Pfft. This… motherless whore…”

“What?”

Marian laughed as if it were absurd.

“Really? I have a father, but you don’t have a mother or father, right?”

“Cluck.”

Sasha was kicked in the stomach and nauseated.

“They call people like you poisonous.”

Marian was truly dumbfounded. I never imagined that an orphan would be called a motherless bitch.

“Yes. Let’s die now.”

That was when Marian said so.

“… Princess?”

Abigail, who entered the greenhouse, put her hands together as if she was surprised.

[Do not kill, aim for the neck and heart.]

Sasha heard the voice and jumped out like a bullet. It immediately pierced Abigail’s neck and chest and started running without looking back.

“You… !”

For a moment, Marian hesitated. Will you save Abigail or pursue Sasha?

It was the moment when the decision was made.

A pitch-black sphere attacked Marianne like a flower with its mouth wide open. Although the attack contained a powerful curse, it did no harm to her. However, we succeeded in creating a momentary gap.

“Mea!”

Marian shouted, supporting Abigail.

Pure white light. Sasha’s body seemed to be crushed by Mea’s rush and disappeared at the same time.

“Maa.”

Mea rubbed her face against Marian’s leg as if she was sorry for missing it.

“It’s okay, Mea.”

Marian looked at the spot where Sasha had disappeared with a vain expression.

A puddle made of blood. I got a kick out of it at the end. Normally he would die, but if you look at his regenerative power.

I missed it.

I missed catching everything.

Even when I think about it now, dozens of ways come to mind that I will never miss. Still, I missed it.

conceit. revenge. Uncool judgment. And a childish complaint about not wanting to show that side of myself to my family.

“Cluck, cluck… W, here…”

Perhaps thanks to the quick treatment, Abigail opened her eyes right away and looked around.

But crucially…

no.

no.

It’s something I decided to do.

“Why did you come…”

Still, my voice was surprisingly cold. It was a tone of blame.

“I… that… that…”

Abigail groped her neck and chest. Anyone who saw him had an expression of fear.

“It’s okay, just tell me.”

I lightly patted her back. It’s not her fault. Who would want to have their neck and chest pierced? It’s Sasha’s fault. This person is a victim.

“I heard a voice. I have to come, otherwise the princess is in danger… .”

“Ha… .”

“I’m sorry.”

Abigail bowed her head.

*

“Ugh, huh, ugh…”

With a grunt and a groan, bright red blood pours out. Blood is foaming at the mouth, and blood is also pooling at the waist where the lower half of the body is missing.

[Luckily it worked out well.]

“Si… Huh… Ugh.”

Whoosh. A sound of air coming out of Sasha’s mouth.

‘Fuck. Relief? ‘It’s going well?!’

[I will focus on recovery.]

An old man’s voice.

“…Are you kidding me? ”

Sasha, who was about to argue with the voice that had changed again, took a vain breath.

slowly.

Very slowly. The missing lower body is regenerated.

“Aaaah!

Sasha closed her eyes and gasped.

‘Why does this hurt so much!’

For the first time in my life, I felt a terrible pain that felt like every cell was being torn apart.

[It is because it is an energy that is opposite to demonic energy.]

“Ahhhh!”

Sasha lost consciousness and woke up several times. My body is shaking like crazy.

If it weren’t for the hastily placed barrier, someone would have heard the screams and approached.

“It hurts, it hurts, just a little, rest…”

[That can’t be possible.]

“Aaaah!”

Sasha randomly picked up the flowers and grass around her.

I’d rather die.

It was painful enough to think that way.
