Chapter 90: A beauty that seems to have been specially blessed

I dashed across the ruins.

Every time I stepped on the debris, the scattered ashes floated in the air like a hazy fog.

And.

There, he stood.
Beneath the shadow of the collapsed tower.

A figure wearing a cracked black mask.

I immediately raised my bow.

It was a reflexive action.

It took less than a second to draw the arrow.

Even so, he didn’t flinch.

A huge figure, 3 meters tall.
A dark blue phantom-like figure stood tall on the burnt rubble.

A faint bloody aura flowed from the gaps in the mask.

The one I swore to kill with everything.

The enemy engraved on my being like a scar.

“…You, Noskarr.”

My lips uttered the name first.

Only then did he turn his head.

“Wait a moment.

I’m going to do real-time voice modulation for this guy’s voice.

I don’t want my voice to be mixed in at all.”

• I guess she really hates this character

• It’s the opposite.. She put a lot of effort into the setting, so she wants to introduce him properly

• Yeah… He’s a beloved character

“Pias.

You can say that because you don’t know yet.

But will you please refrain from it in the future?

I really hate Noskarr.”

• O.. Okay…

• It’s really scary how immersed she is..ㅋㅋ

• She truly hates him (he’s a fictional character she created)

I do real-time voice modulation.

Fortunately, there was a suitable style that could give a very similar feeling.

Like an echo spreading from a deep cave, a low, deep resonance.

There was a metallic sound mixed in at the end, and short breaths were heard between words.

I pointed the arrowhead even more firmly.

“Why are you here?”

He slowly spread his arms.

A dark red aura bloomed from his fingertips and slowly crawled over the ashes.

I immediately drew the arrow.

The moment the light-infused arrow touched his figure, a dark blue fog rippled and swallowed the arrow.

He spoke calmly as if nothing had happened.

When he took a step, black cracks spread from under his feet.

“No.”

I also gritted my teeth and stepped forward.

“I’ll kill you.”

He looked at me silently.

And, a low laugh leaked from the gap in the mask.

At that moment, I heard rough breathing from behind.

“Haa, haa…”

It was the reconnaissance team that followed me.

Seeing me confronting Noskarr, they hesitated and took a position behind me.

Noskarr’s figure began to fade as he looked around at the joined group.

“Don’t run away!”

The arrow that flew like a ray of light, this time too, pierced through the scattering black fog in vain.

One of the pale-faced scouts asked.

“…B-Blessed Estellica.

What is that demon just now?”

• ?

• Who?

• Blessedㅋㅋㅋ Estellicaㅋㅋㅋㅋ

• Is she a chuunibyou?ㅎ

“It’s not chuunibyou, it’s a title attached to me.

In the sense that the spirits seem to have chosen and blessed me.

And also…”

It’s a bit embarrassing to explain this myself, but there’s no reason to hide the truth.

“Because of ‘the beauty that the goddess seems to have specially bestowed upon her’, it came to be called naturally among people.”

• That appearance is a blessing from God!

Like this?ㅋㅋㅋ

• Leah, be honest.

When did you start planning the setting

• If you feel the traces of a middle schooler’s practice work, like this..

• I!

Am pretty!!

• Leah is the most beautiful girl in the city, what’s with the oppression??

Normally, I might have felt awkward, but remembering what kind of situation I was explaining, my mind calmed down.

“I answered the scout’s question in a low voice.”

• See how she immediately changes the subject

“Varnok’s 5th Seat, Noskarr.”

He was the demon executive who broke the barrier and invaded the elven forest.

• That happened?

• Then she should show her dislike ㅇㅇ

• That’s a really curious episode?

• Let’s go with that as the next topic

“I’ll think about it.

First, what happened after this…”

After completing the reconnaissance, the group was provided with accommodation and rested at the lord’s castle in Talica, a nearby city.

At that time.

Archbishop Felixius Delcain, who was carrying out a separate mission in the nearby area, joined after hearing that I was staying here.

He only knew that I had carried out a reconnaissance mission in the ruins, and had not yet heard about the confrontation with Noskarr that occurred in the process.

In the garden of the mansion, I was taking a moment to catch my breath.

“Your face is dark, Blessed Estellica.”

• Here it comes, my laugh triggerㅋㅋ

• It’s not completely cringey.. But thinking of it as Leah, it’s hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋ

• Guys, it might be something she made recently, be careful

• ??? : Wow, I made the title so cool.. The Pias will like it, right?

• Oh no

• Now that I see it, it seems to fit well?

When I looked up, Felixius, dressed in a holy white robe, was looking at me from the entrance of the garden.

“…Did it show?”

The Archbishop smiled lightly and approached me.

“You’re not usually very expressive.

But I can see it.

Not on your face, but the shadow cast on your heart.”

“I can’t fool the eyes of the Archbishop.

Can you pretend you didn’t see it?

It’s not an elf-like appearance.”

“I’ve met countless people over the years, but there was no one without sadness.

Whether elf or human, it’s just different how they endure it.”

• Does this mean that all five heroes have appeared at least once?

• She’s an MZ Leah, so the description of the elderly is a bit lackingㅋㅋ

• It’s just a voice optimized for fairy tales…

• Grandma~ Read me a fairy tale!

• GrandLeah

• W-Will I become a grandmother if I don’t play Ori?

• Uh oh

• Ori fans’ surprise protest

Did he see my agitation not as anger but as sadness?

I felt like I would weaken if I continued to talk, so I hurriedly brought up the main point.

“In the reconnaissance… I witnessed Noskarr.”

“Varnok’s 5th Seat… I see.

So that’s why you…”

He sent a look that said he understood everything, but I averted my gaze.

I didn’t want sympathy or comfort.

Right now, I just wanted to say what was necessary.

“I don’t know the reason.

In the city destroyed by Alduras, he just appeared and disappeared.

He didn’t even seem to have any intention of fighting for now.”

Silence fell for a moment.

Felixius looked at the roses in the garden and quietly opened his mouth.

“Sometimes evil shakes us just by existing.

His purpose may have been just his existence itself.”

Was it really just an appearance to cause confusion?

But with the next words, I grasped his intention to want me to think so and shake it off quickly.

“Alduras is a great evil.

A continental disaster that all great people must face with one mind and one heart.

But for now, I will wait for the shadow that touched your heart to pass.

After that, again.

Will you walk with me?”

“I’ve caused you concern, Archbishop.

Don’t worry.

I also know what the priority is.”

Felixius shook his head lightly and smiled softly.

“You have never caused me concern.

It’s just that, I don’t want you to carry the burden alone.”

He paused for a moment, and added in a low, gentle voice.

“I will entrust the whereabouts of Noskarr to the Knights of Holy Light.

As long as his traces remain, the divine power will illuminate the path to find that shadow.”

The Archbishop’s calm voice was calming the ripples in my heart.

I bowed my head slightly.

“Thank you, Archbishop.”

• He looks old, but he uses polite speech to Leah?

• It’s just that he originally has a slow voice or something

“It’s true that he’s old.

The age difference between us… At this time, I was 18, so it was the time when he was 76.”

• What do you mean ‘he’, Leah, that’s rude!

• It seemed like a conversation between equal heroes… Suddenly the feeling changed

• It’s a principal counseling a high school student…

• How did you read my expression?

<< You can’t not see thisㅋㅋㅋ

“I’m a little relaxed now, but back then, how thorough was I?

Because he had extraordinary insight, I always felt like he could see through my heart.”

• Ahem, I told you not to say ‘he’, Leah

• It’s funny that the Confucian Pias are pointing out the (tone/way of speaking)ㅋㅋㅋ

• You don’t need that much insight with that much age difference…

• It’s a template that only she doesn’t know

• Wait, if you think about it, this is also acting, right?

She made the Archbishop character herself too

• No red pill spreading ㄴㄴㄴ

• It’s just amazing… The way she immerses the listeners until she points it out separately

• It’s a template that the Pias are swayed by the stage Leah set up

“As the reconnaissance team, including me, returned, the Alliance had no choice but to officially acknowledge the existence of Alduras.

Accordingly, a change in the front line itself was inevitable.

If the situation was previously a confrontation between the widely spread Allied forces and the Demon Lord’s army, the demons suddenly adopted a strategy of breaking through one place.

Now, wherever Alduras appears, that place becomes the core battlefield of the war.”
