by fnovelpiaA burst of light in Noktar.
The light was so intense that it was visible from outside the castle, giving the illusion that the dawn had arrived.
Leonard squints his eyes in the flooding light. The dark cloud spirit screams, “Keeek!”
The light bombs that spread out in all directions swallow up the black fog surrounding Leonard. The fog disappears, revealing Leonard’s body that had been hidden.
“What?”
Leonard, unable to hide his embarrassment. Arphia swung her bow at the moment when the force applied to her decreased. She cut off Leonard’s arm.
Leonard loses his balance and stumbles. Just as he is about to fall off the roof, he jumps and lands on the other roof. When I check the spirit’s condition, I see that its momentum has weakened.
The light of Arphia was the cause.
‘That light… .’
It was no ordinary light. The clear halo of light was definitely the spirit’s energy. There was no room for doubt.
Wasn’t it that you couldn’t control spirits?
They must have been so mixed up that it was hard to tell their shapes. Leonard couldn’t understand why those troublemakers were suddenly cooperating with Arphia.
Arphia slowly gets up from her seat. A patterned light that cannot be hidden by her clothes leaks out from her back.
A brand and a grace.
A token of one’s oath not to betray faith.
Arphia enjoyed the power of light.
‘This is a spirit.’
Even though it was my first time experiencing this phenomenon, it felt familiar and unfamiliar. Of course, it was natural since it was a spirit I had been carrying since birth. It was no different from moving my arms and legs.
Thanks to that, I was able to figure out how to handle it all.
Arphia holding a short bow. She pulls the bowstring with her right hand.
Squeak.
As the bowstring grows longer, an arrow appears where there was none before. An arrow created with brilliance.
A cynicism appears on Arphia’s lips.
“It’s my turn now. Are you ready to get shot, compatriot?”
“Huh!”
Leonard let out a single sigh and quickly moved his body. That light is dangerous. The dark cloud spirit rang a loud alarm in his mind.
It disappears into the thick fog. The fog floats across the sky and disappears.
Arphia followed Leonard’s movements with her eyes. She shot an arrow at the fog, as if she didn’t need to predict the path.
It blew up.
Wedge!
Before the crack of dawn, the sound of fog bursting was heard. The arrow of light that drew a straight line was not something that could be chased by sound.
As the arrow hit the cloud, the fog disappeared with a bang. In an instant, Leonard fell through the air, naked.
Leonard fell to the ground and rolled on the ground, taking a beating. Red blood flowed down his black skin here and there, along with scratches. It was just a single arrow shot.
‘Is that… really a spirit?’
At best, he had just begun to manipulate the spirits. Even if they had compatibility, that kind of power was unbelievable. It was a power greater than the spirits that the high elves of his hometown manipulated.
As Leonard felt, the spirits of Arphia were different from the spirits of nature. They lived in Arphia’s body and fought against spirits of different natures for hundreds of years.
Children naturally grow up while fighting. The spirits were the same. The spirits that grew up unintentionally were unparalleled in their class.
The god who created the world named the light like this.
『Light Servant』
A higher level of the spirit of light.
Another brilliant light falls over the fallen head of Renard. Arphia aims her arrow of light.
“That’s the punishment for pointing a knife at that guy. I’ll make sure he never does that again.”
Leonard looked at Arphia with trembling eyes, then lowered his head.
I closed my eyes tightly and waited for my fate.
But even after waiting, I didn’t feel like anything had changed. The light hadn’t gone out either. I raised my head cautiously.
“… What is it? Are you feeling some kind of low-level joy while watching someone who is about to die?”
“No way. I don’t have a hobby of harming my own kind.”
Because he cared about us and gave us a chance, he showed mercy.
But that’s only the elf, Lenard. Arphia looks in the direction of the top.
He raises his bow. He shoots at the sky as if protesting against the world that has caused him pain.
He stretched out his bowstring and flicked it lightly. The arrow rose like a retrograde meteor, scattering shards of light around it.
An arrow that stops only after piercing through the clouds. The arrowhead tilts to the side.
Fall down.
‘I’m grateful that you introduced me to that person.’
Kidnapping, imprisoning, and treating me like a mere commodity. I cannot forgive you. You will pay the price for that right here, right now.
A meteor fell.
Disappears between buildings.
Kugu Palace… .
A pillar of pure white light rose up. The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
A pillar of light that gradually becomes thinner and disappears.
The gap created by the arrow swallowed up the night.
Passus… .
A bow that disintegrates into countless pieces that cannot withstand the force.
The wind blows.
The pieces fly away in the wind.
But her braided golden hair flutters.
The night breeze that struck her with her mind wide open was cool. Arphia felt an indescribable sense of liberation.
Arphia turned her head. To see the master who had given her this sense of liberation. To proudly boast that she had repaid his trust.
Karami, holding a glass of wine, had his mouth open. His eyes were unusually wide.
Wasn’t it amazing?
Was I awesome?
Arphia is smiling brightly and making a V sign.
one side.
‘No, fucking hell, my precious things!’
Karami screamed.
***
Arphia returned as the Duke of the Night. Leonard too.
Leonard was speechless at the sight of his comrades’ bodies strewn everywhere. He flinched when he met the eyes of the old man who had caused this tragedy. Leonard knew who he was.
“Shadow Duke Victor… .”
“I thought there was someone who knew the old man.”
“There’s no assassin who doesn’t know you. I thought you died with the guild that day, but you were hiding in a place like this?”
“I don’t want to go around killing people for money anymore. More like that.”
“Ugh?”
Victor’s mood, which had been mixed with regret, changed. It was difficult to look straight into his eyes, which seemed ready to rip out his heart at any moment.
Leonard took up his stance, drawing his dagger with a movement almost instinctive. However, the hand holding the dagger was shaking, and he was not in a state to fight.
“Respect for the elderly.”
Respect your elders? What does that mean?
That means the old man is attacking!
Yes, go ahead and attack. Even if it means dying, I will protect the pride of the elves.
Bam!
“Evil!”
Victor’s hand created an afterimage, and lightning struck the crown of his head. Leonard sat down, covering his head.
“Where the hell are you pulling out a sword at an adult? These elves don’t know how to respect elders.”
Even though he was dumbfounded, Leonard said what he wanted to say.
“Ha, but I’m older than you… Eek.”
Victor’s fist rises upward. Leonard’s will to fight disappears like dust.
As expected, there is nothing better than a fight to educate people. Leonard had definitely instilled manners in him with one punch. He touched the swollen bump with a sad expression.
While they were sorting out the order, the other side was in a friendly mood. Arphia was telling Karami about her impressions of the spirits.
“You know how when I yell at them they can’t move? When I tell them to cheer up they get sucked in and then they brighten up… !”
“Is that so?”
I don’t understand what you’re saying at all.
Like a parent listening to a story about a daughter who had just returned from a picnic, Karami listened with a slight smile.
Even smiling could be considered a miracle, because the inner feelings turned to dust along with the upper body, disappearing without a trace.
“Anyway, those insignificant things are causing trouble for the elves. From now on, I’ll make them work as much as I’ve tormented them.”
Arpia is so arrogant and ignorant.
The spirits lightly trample on the cries of ‘Hiyaak!’ in disapproval.
“It’s noisy.”
Karami observed the atmosphere of the castle. It was strange that an earthquake occurred in the middle of the night and a pillar of light fell, and yet he was sleeping soundly.
“I think it would be better to go now.”
“Are you leaving?”
“Because the top one was completely destroyed. They’ll probably know to some extent that Arpia and I are involved with them, so they’ll come and question us. They might even frame us for crimes we didn’t commit.”
“Doesn’t it matter? After all, neither you nor I are clean people, and if we’re here, you won’t be able to do anything stupid.”
Karami tilted his head as if to ask what that meant.
“Is it clean?”
“What?”
“I’ve done nothing but good things. Where can you find a slave trader as good as me?”
“No… .”
“Honestly, putting me and the Master on the same level is a bit…? Haha.”
Karami draws a line like a knife. Victor was about to argue back saying, ‘You forcibly enslaved Arphia who had fallen!’, but Arphia’s gaze at Karami was not ordinary.
Honey drips from the fairy’s eyes.
It seemed that the person in question, Arphia, would not be able to receive help. Victor gave up. There was no one in the world he could trust. He had to work hard to raise Emily.
Victor procured a horse from the innkeeper with whom he was acquainted. Karami and Arphia climbed aboard.
Arphia seemed to hesitate for a moment, then wrapped her arms around Karami’s waist. Karami tried to ignore the warm sensation on her back.
“Take care. You can come back anytime. You have to do something about that personality. If you meet a strange guy, you’ll die without even being able to scream.”
“Haha, this is the basic qualification of a slave trader. I will stop by again when I have the chance. Oh, and Master.”
“Huh?”
“Go to the top basement. It’s for alcohol and child support.”
top.
underground.
It wasn’t hard to figure out what he meant by combining the two words. Victor nodded.
“Master, goodbye~ I’ll be back soon, so you have to stay alive until then?”
Arphia waves her hand. As the horse moves forward, Karami snaps her fingers.
[Lily Liberation Complete]
50pt will be awarded.
[Lara Liberation Complete]
70pt will be awarded.
As Karami and Arphia moved away, Leonard also slowly got up.
“I, I’ll go now. Then… .”
“What are you talking about? You should stay here.”
“What? Why me.”
“What? Why me?”
“… Why me.”
Victor ran his fingers over the blood-stained surroundings.
“I need to clean it.”
***
A horse running across the plains of night.
Arphia hugged Karami tightly, making excuses that she might fall.
“Where are we going now?”
Arphia asked for the destination.
Actually, it doesn’t matter where you go.
When I first came out of the forest, I had a hard time even breathing, but not anymore. I think I could survive in a desert without a single tree if I had my master.
But Karami thought quite the opposite.
“I’m going to Daesurim.”
If up until now it was one great step, this time it is the last step.
