episode_0178

Despite the sweat slowly dripping from her palms, Vivian was holding onto the sword handle with strength and was glaring at Hyeryeong, who was glaring at her.

Her eyes clearly did not waver in the slightest, but her intentions were a little different.

‘What on earth is this plan? … ?’

He knew that Carla had been following him for a few days.

However, just as you don’t overreact to a child playing pranks, I just thought it was a case of not being able to change your habits like a noble girl who was out at social gatherings, and being adventurous and doing foolish things in unusual places.

Because in the first place, Vivian did not know who Carla was, what kind of person she was, and what to watch out for in her.

In many ways, Vivian was paying enough attention to dealing with Carla.

At the social club, I met her in a separate room and had a conversation with her, and I also confronted Carla head-on while wearing medium-sized hydraulic armor.

Even though she knew that Carla would be able to figure out who she was if she gave her just a hint, Vivian chose to keep her distance and disturb her through external aspects.

‘If you don’t show any suspicious signs, it will wither away quickly.’

At the same time, Vivian could tell that Karla had no memory of herself, so she couldn’t understand Karla’s strange behavior even more.

‘Why on earth are you interested in me? … ?

There would be no contact for us now…

It’s clear that you don’t even remember what you saw at the social club… ?’

Vivian, who had never dreamed that she would accidentally be caught eating Mari or using Nemea, could not understand at all.

But if it turned out this way, it was inevitable that it would become difficult to control the situation.

In the end, as the consequences of neglecting Carla came back to Hye-ryeong before her eyes, Vivian’s mind became increasingly complicated.

‘The lady’s meal…

Did this bitch bring it… ?

Or is this just a coincidence… ?’

Vivian has only seen Hye-ryeong fight twice.

One time, she was throwing pill bottles here and there while being extremely annoying during a special evaluation, and the other time, it was her dealing with Arachnelian Leah at a social club.

‘poison… Or at least a woman who uses drugs equivalent to that…

However, the accuracy of throwing is quite high, and in some cases, you can even look ahead.’

In his opinion, her skill in throwing things like poison bottles and needles was considered to be of a high enough level.

But what about in close combat?

Even though he was not a very outstanding student at the academy, he was confident that with the help of Enic, he could achieve top-level pull-up skills.

Since they were already at a close distance, Vivian asked Hyeryeong a silent question.

‘You’ve always been throwing things from afar.

Then wouldn’t this be an unfavorable situation?’

Are you confident that you can beat me at this distance?

However, despite this, Hye-ryeong’s appearance without blinking was also like answering that she was confident that she would win, so in the end, the silence continued without being broken.

In the end, it was Vivian who moved first.

This space is a narrow hallway.

Since it was an unfavorable space for her with a sword, she decided that it would be better to attack first to gain the upper hand.

However, Hye-ryeong was not an easy opponent, as she was not carrying a weapon.

“Haaah… !!”

Hyeryeong, who had dodged Vivian’s diagonal sword by tilting her neck back by a narrow margin of a piece of paper, was flexibly leaning forward again as if she was going against the laws of physics.

“Aaaaa!!”

Carla, who was caught between the two women, was pushed by Hye-ryeong and rolled around on the floor, and at the same time, Hye-ryeong suddenly broke the wrist of her hand in the air.

Vivian, who caught it with her excellent visual acuity, was quickly able to determine what her actions were for, having already seen them once.

“Kkeut… … !!”

Just in front of Vivian’s chest, who quickly turned to the side to avoid something invisible, the sound of something passing with a sharp wind sound and hitting the wall was heard.

‘I understand why Leah can’t dance.

I can’t even see it clearly with my eyes.’

If you hadn’t heard the sound of it hitting the wall, you probably wouldn’t have known.

Even the sound of getting stuck would be impossible to imagine that it was a needle thinner than a hair being driven into the wall.

The sight of it swimming in the air and flying so quickly was difficult to judge even with my own visual acuity.

Looking at her action of breaking her hand, I could see that I was lucky except that I avoided it.

But aside from the fire in her eyes that she had avoided it, Hye-ryeong’s reaction was nothing more than lukewarm…

“Did you avoid it? Sounds interesting?

You’re not just a criminal, are you?

People I see for the first time almost always get beat up.”

‘Aiming for the heart…

‘Are you sure you want to do this?’

A position where, if hit correctly, one would have died instantly.

Vivian’s eyes became sharper as she realized that Hye-ryeong was really planning to kill her.

“I am the best, the woman of the Tangmun.

Is this the best work created by Chaoxing’s peak sect?

So, I won’t let anything stand in my way.”

However, despite Vivian’s reaction, Hye-ryeong was instead flashing a rotten smile and sticking out her chest.

“But, if you kneel before me and beg for your life…

Maybe you should consider the part about killing it nicely?”

Her arrogance as she used borrowed power to commit evil, and her appearance filled with pride for something that was not hers.

The sight seemed to remind her of her past self, so a small smile appeared on Vivian’s lips as she let out a laugh without realizing it.

‘I wonder if I was like that back then… … ?

okay… It doesn’t seem to have changed now, but… ‘

What kind of expression will Hye-ryeong make if she is abandoned by her family?

Was that expression really the expression of the helpless, unhappy girl who had been abandoned by everything she had, crying on the flower bed in the middle of the dark night?

“The term ‘family puppet’ is unnecessarily grandiose, isn’t it?

I must be very proud that it is a part that can be replaced at any time.”

Because he himself was just a replaced part.

Because she had already learned through experience that she, who had struggled all her life to become a proud daughter for Grenot, had been treated only as a means for revival, not as a precious daughter.

To Vivian, Hyeryeong’s appearance was nothing more than a ridiculous sight, as if she was wrinkling in front of a chrysalis.

However, to Hye-ryeong, who had no way of knowing the inside story, Vivian’s smile had no choice but to be taken as having a different meaning.

“You don’t seem to have any intention of dying gracefully. Then die.”

The sound of the wind blowing along with the movement of her wrist, which was hanging down limply, bending.

Although Vivian thought that Hye-ryeong believed in her family and was campaigning, that was not necessarily the case.

The skills to throw out memorization, which was almost a high-end product, and the ability to read the battle situation as it was flowing were unique to her.

Vivian, who clenched her teeth and observed Hye-ryeong’s wrist to predict the projection path of the needle thrown, was dodging the needle with the maximum speed and movement she could, even in an unfamiliar fight.

And although he was blocking the needle by somehow covering the dangerous area with the side of his sword, the fight with Hye-ryeong was not as simple as he imagined.

Hye-ryeong, who can easily spread the barrage with a bundle of needles, and an evasive maneuver in the not-so-wide hallway of the building.

As if she knew that she was far superior, Hyeryeong seemed to waste time by making only very simple attacks that Vivian could block.

The sight of Hye-ryeong escaping like a loach, as if laughing at herself, when she barely stretched out her sword once, running away from the needle, was causing stress in itself.

I was sure that I was faster in terms of both speed and visual acuity, but despite this, Vivian was fighting at a disadvantage as she entered the battle with a clear sense of control.

“I made a loud noise, but I didn’t feel it as much as I thought?

This too is nerfed… Hmm… !! Why don’t you try blocking it?”

“Intake… Sigh… Ugh… !!”

Vivian was doing the best she could in evasive maneuvers, as if pushed to her limit, with her breath rising to the tip of her chin every time she twisted her body over and over again to avoid an attack.

‘really… It’s not normal… …

If it comes out like this…

I can’t help it… !!’

Seeing Vivian falling backwards while avoiding Hyeryeong’s needle, Hyeryeong smiled brightly and began to provoke Vivian.

“Are you trying to run away?

Actually, there is at least a 100% chance of survival that way.”

“Dangmun… … okay…

I mean, it’s the party money tax… … ”

However, when Vivian, who seemed to have no sign of running away, gently turned her body to the side, Hye-ryeong, who had a suspicious feeling in her eyes, immediately looked round.

As if the scales of her skin were turning over, the blue dress Vivian was wearing discolored to black and melted into her skin, leaving behind only a black film that stuck to her body.

In a sense, it was no different from exposing one’s own naked body, but what was more surprising was that from that moment, Vivian began to attack him mindlessly.

“Uh… Ah… !!”

Seeing Vivian’s fighting style suddenly change, Hye-ryeong throws needles again, but instead, Vivian comes back with just the right amount of damage.

‘He came in after being hit by that…’ ?

I haven’t gone crazy… ?’

However, the thin needles that flew out of Hye-ryeong’s hands ended up flying off rather than getting stuck in Vivian’s body.

“Ugh… !! What is that… !! Nonsense… !!

It’s a Seolbong needle that can pierce even high-quality leather armor… !!”

Hyeryeong’s expression began to harden as she faced an unexpected situation.

With her face covered with her arms, Hye-ryeong dodged Vivian’s sword as she charged at her by a mere margin of a piece of paper, but in the end, she was caught up by Vivian’s speed, which completely eliminated all obstacles.

Hye-ryeong was able to gain the upper hand because she made Vivian avoid the needle and restricted her actions.

In this state where the needle did not work at all, there was a difference in pure physical ability, so it was inevitable that the person would be vulnerable.

In an instant, the good compatibility turned into a reverse compatibility, and Vivian, who had been clenching her teeth, finally began to open her lips as Hye-ryeong appeared to be making her last struggle, even throwing needles in a pile.

“Jeilse is Dangmun?

But at your house… … ”

The sword, which was thrust forward with all its might, was aimed at Hye-ryeong, who had now reached the end of her attempts to evade it.

“There is no such thing… … !?”

“Ah… … !!”

In fact, the game is already over.

However, Vivian, who was rushing toward Hyeryeong, had no intention of forgiving her this time.

Anyway, if we keep Hye-ryeong alive like this, she will attack us in a different way, just like her old self.

Even though there were witnesses, they quickly buried her like this and tried to portray it as a tragedy that often happens in the back alleys.

At the very brief moment when the sword was about to be sucked into Hyeryeong’s chest, Vivian’s movements stopped momentarily as she saw Hyeryeong throwing something in front of her with her eyes closed out of fear.

‘Crazy bitch… … !!’

A dark colored liquid fluttering inside a round glass bottle, like a potion, flying towards me.

It was a glass bottle containing a liquid presumed to be poison mixed with strong acid, as even the marble floor, which was used to keep Leah in check in the social hall, was bubbling and melting.

If you throw it from this distance and it breaks, even you yourself will be in trouble.

‘Throwing something like this here… !!’

It may have meant that Hye-ryeong was also in a hurry, but Vivian couldn’t help but feel more urgent as Hye-ryeong suddenly threw that dangerous object at her.

The very moment when she was so close that she couldn’t even think of avoiding it, and desperately tried to retrieve the sword and block it somehow, but the moment passed by.

– Clink

In the end, unable to stop it, the glass bottle exploded in Vivian’s abdomen with a shattering sound, and all she could do was instinctively cover her face with her arms.

“Aaaa!!”

A scream echoes throughout the hallway.

And when Hye-ryeong saw the bottle breaking, she was frantically checking to see if poison had been spilled on her.

However, Hye-ryeong was relieved to see that there was only a little bit of stain on the hem of the clothes that had been dragged on the floor and that there was no problem with her body, so she tore off the hem and this time began to check the condition of the person who had been poisoned.

Vivian, who was literally in a state where it was as if a bottle of poison had exploded in her stomach and was covered in it, stood quietly in that same position, covering her face.

The poison trickled down her stomach, sides, thighs and calves.

Moreover, the arm covering his face must have been sprayed with poison, and water droplets formed there and tried to fall off due to gravity.

As soon as her arm began to slowly go down as if she had lost strength, Hye-ryeong began to laugh at Vivian with a helpless sneer.

“Aha… Ha ha ha ha ha… !! It’s over for you now… !!

Now all my limbs and body are melting… !!

I have to get off… … ?”

However, Vivian, who was also panting as if she was surprised and her chest was rising and falling, only had a look of cold surprise written on her face.

There seemed to be no abnormality in the body, which was completely surrounded by a black membrane.

“Ah… float… It’s hot…

city… no… Ahhh… !!

Aaaa!!”

Rather, a tearing scream coming from somewhere else began to be heard next to the two people who were maintaining silence.

Just like that, the two women’s heads were turning towards the girl they had forgotten about because of their fight.

“Ah… miss… … !!”

“Carla… !!”

She tried to hold her burning shoulder with her hand, but pulled her hand away when she felt the hot sensation in her hand.

In the end, I didn’t know what to do with the pain that spread not only to my shoulders but also to my palms.

The two women’s minds were turning white as they heard the terrible screams of the little girl, writhing on the cold floor and moaning in pain.
