‘Are you sure there was a bullet in the head?’

Yoru’s lips trembled at the incomprehensible phenomenon.

“……I live and live and get shot at everything.”

The revolver slipped from Minette’s hand.

‘…is it a monster?’

Minette could hear her heart pounding in her ears, felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen, and could barely stand because of her numb knees.

“…Uh, how.”

Yoru took a step back while staring at Shiron.

Perhaps because of the bullets, the opponent had more gaps than before, but Yoru was unable to swing his sword.

Because I witnessed such an absurd scene, I developed a feeling of ‘fear’.

“How are you alive?”

gun. A self-defense item supplied to the emperor’s dogs in recent years. Yoru knew well what its power was.

Because I’ve been hit a few times. I also saw someone kill someone with a gun, so I knew how powerful a weapon a gun was.

Although the force of the person holding the gun was insignificant, the lead bullet itself that came out of the gun’s muzzle had enough power to pierce Yoru’s self-defense weapons and tear his skin.

A force that would have pierced flesh if it were not for self-defense.

So, if you hit a vital area, including the head, it was natural that a cool air hole would be created, as if pierced by an iron skewer.

The speed is so fast that even Yoru cannot avoid it after being fired.

Fortunately, after learning of the danger, he swung his sword and killed the enemy before he could pull the trigger.

“Your head was pierced! I saw it get stuck in my neck too…? It’s clearly stuck in the solar plexus too?”

“Is that thing on your shoulder a decoration?”

Siron took a deep breath and said.

“There’s no way a weak person’s self-defense equipment would work on me.”

“…”

“I could have avoided it, but I didn’t.”

He says it without even bothering his eyes.

“Dodging a pebble thrown by a child will only hurt your prestige. For me, it’s barely… that much.”

“I see…”

“Yes, this is… the difference in level between you and me.”

Siron gritted his teeth and calmed his expression.

‘…I’m going to feel sore.’

I felt like I was going to pass out at any moment because of the pain that felt like a centipede was crawling on my skin or like nails were being driven into every corner of my body.

However, Siron acted as if nothing had happened.

I’ve thought a lot about ‘storage’ abilities and done a lot of experiments.

I tried hitting a dagger against my thigh, and I also tried throwing a sword in the air and catching it with my palm.

‘It didn’t hurt at the time.’

As expected, the bullet did no damage at all. Siron recognized the residue floating inside the body and was certain that it was a bullet.

But, for some reason, the pain remained the same. Surely it didn’t hurt every time you put it away? To think so, I had a memory of safely catching the dagger thrown by Latera.

‘What on earth is it? Did the enemy throw something else?’

[Well, I don’t know? The bullet was clearly sucked inside…]

Latera was very embarrassed because she knew how much pain Siron was going through.

[Would you like to give me blessings that will ease your pain?]

‘No, I can bear it.’

Siron blew away all the thoughts that came to the corner of his head. If it is discovered that their attack was effective, all efforts will be in vain.

The end of the underpass, the sound of metal clashing against metal was getting closer. Lucia must be fighting a battle.

Seeing that it wasn’t over yet, Siron guessed that the opponents must be quite numerous or strong.

“You are weaker than me. It was proven just now.”

Siron gritted his teeth and suppressed the dizziness and continued acting.

“So, you barbarian, be my slave.”

“Do you… think I will accept that offer?”

Siron sneered at Yoru, who did not hide his disgusted gaze.

“Aren’t you here to save your colleagues? If I refuse, my colleague will die.”

“Princess! Don’t listen to what the author says!”

Minette shouted with a shocked face.

“I will commit suicide because I will become a burden to the princess!”

“No, no!”

Yoru looked back in surprise. There was Minette, pointing a dagger at my neck with a determined look on her face.

“You can’t leave it like that.”

Siron manipulated mana to create an ice pick. The sharply sharpened awl flew out and lodged itself in my two delicate shoulders.

with a splash-

The dagger fell from Minette’s hand.

“What are you doing!”

Yoru shouted and ran towards Minette. Running with her back to the enemy was a risky move, but she had already given up.

The opponent is a monster that can’t be helped, and Minette as well as herself are greatly injured.

In the meantime, as if something is blocking her, her colleagues are not joining her, so no matter how strong her heart is, it is bound to weaken.

“Blood, I lost a lot of blood…”

Yoru’s voice, holding Minette, was mixed with crying.

“…Wasn’t this kid being taken hostage? Then it’s natural to die, right?!”

“It is a wound that will not die.”

Siron laughed and spit out a lead bullet.

“There’s no way you would kill a precious hostage, right?”

Yoru looked at the man with an evil smile and lowered his head.

“…Are you sure you will spare my life if I become your slave?”

“Of course. I don’t lie.”

“No, if you become a slave, it’s really as much as I killed you…”

Papdeuk-

Yoru was so humiliated that he could not finish speaking. Siron shrugged his shoulders, feeling satisfied that he had almost gotten over it.

“That’s a lie. Am I crazy enough to mix myself with barbarians?”

“You just said you won’t lie!”

“…Be reasonably flexible. You’re starting to get annoyed.”

Siron crumpled his face.

Even after removing the lead bullet, the burning pain throughout my body did not go away, so pretending to be relaxed became increasingly difficult.

“But enslavement is real. And I will heal that girl with all the pores. I promise this not on my honor but on the honor of His Majesty the Emperor…”

“Princess!”

Minette struggled to speak.

“…Princess, don’t listen to what the author says.”

“Shipal. Would you like to taste more of the awl?”

“Princess…!”

Minette shouted with a pale face. Although I was dizzy from losing so much blood, I could clearly feel the vibrations of the ground.

These numbers and force are Silea’s compatriots. Minette firmly believed that even if she died, her compatriots would rescue the princess.

“Tsk.”

Siron clicked his tongue and his consciousness scattered in all directions.

Those places are not in the direction where Lucia is. The wall that Siron broke through. back. stomach. There were many signs of hostile people.

-hey! Where are you!

The fortunate thing was the presence of Lucia, who was coming, smashing the stone wall to pieces.

“Hey! It’s okay…”

Before Lucia finished speaking.

Kugugugung-

The ground began to shake violently.

Lucia didn’t cause it. Especially not the earthquake caused by Siron. Anyone in their right mind would not exert excessive force in such a narrow tunnel.

A patter of dust fell, and the ceiling of the underpass collapsed because it could not withstand the vibration.

Lucia, seeing Siron staggering, kicked the ground even harder.

At the same time, he blocked all the numerous sword strikes fired from above.

She didn’t pay attention to Yoru who was between Shiron and her. What was important to her now was Siron’s well-being, not the execution of the barbarian, and thanks to this, Lucia was able to safely reach Siron’s location.

Siron, supported by Lucia, generated mana and kicked up the dust.

A lot of people holding swords.

At first glance, people dressed in black clothes that gave off the scent of barbarians were surrounding the yoru as if they were guarding it.

“Princess, are you okay?”

“…Soi. Minette, not me.”

Yoru spoke to the woman who supported him. The leader of the Chusaldae. Soi turned her eyes down and looked at Minette.

‘I can’t believe I was becoming a burden that I couldn’t devote my whole self to the subject of ganja.’

The crime of not being able to protect the princess, but rather putting her in trouble. He didn’t commit suicide and is still breathing shamelessly.

If Yoru wasn’t watching, or at least if the enemy wasn’t in front of him, he would have ordered him to commit suicide right away.

“Ugh. They came in droves.”

Siron pushed away Lucia’s support and continued his provocation. His physical condition was on the verge of collapse, but Siron wanted to be recognized as a monster that could not be defeated by Yoru, so he gritted his teeth and strengthened his legs.

“You bastards who do not know the grace of the empire. It looks like everyone wants to die together.”

Instead of raising the holy sword, Siron raised his finger forward. The magic did not work well due to the pain that felt like a centipede crawling under his skin, but Siron gathered his wits and created a blazing lightning.

“What kind of safety is talking carelessly?”

Soyi glared at Shiron with a face full of anger.

That damn man messed up the princess. After recognizing that fact, her mind was buried in anger and it was difficult to make rational decisions.

chin-

“Stop.”

Yoru grabbed Soi’s shoulder and stopped her. Her eyes moved from Shiron to the red-haired girl.

“If this continues, everyone will die.”

“…Okay.”

“Take hold of whatever you have. What do you want to know? Were you scared?”

Siron spat at the enemy who tried to turn his back. Not only Soi but also the entire Chusaldae’s blood rushed to the tips of their heads. Dozens of deadly energies came together and shot towards Siron, and Siron’s dizziness became worse.

“You bastard!”

“…If you cross the line, you will be killed.”

Lucia stood in front of them as if guarding Siron. The provocation is being carried out vigorously, but the current theory is a mess. Look, I don’t know what kind of attack hit me, but the lightning on my fingertips was trembling slightly.

‘I should have come sooner.’

Although she felt regret for a moment, Lucia had no choice. There were too many enemies on the way here, and the opponent had no choice but to dig out the entire wall by collapsing the underpass several times.

The standoff continued for a while, but in the end, it was Yoru who retreated.

Yoru stopped the Chussal team again and turned around.

“Are you trying to run away?”

“…Yes, running away.”

Yoru spoke calmly in a weak voice. Now is the time to step away. Yoru knew very well that he would gain nothing if he continued to fight like this.

So, with the support of the Chusaldae, I gave up my regrets.

“But next time, I will never run away. Siron Prien, become stronger…”

“I am Kylie.”

Shocking words.

Yoru’s wide-open eyes met Shiron’s.

“What?”

“Poetics?”

Lucia looked at Siron with a blank expression. Siron, with his gaze fixed on Yoru, continued to sarcastically speak without losing his composure.

“Didn’t you hear? Let me say it again, I’m Kylie.”

“…”

Yoru didn’t know what to do with the repeated confessions.

All I can do is confirm the name of the benefactor who once saved my life from an unknown cliff, and the identity of the person I have always kept in my heart. So, I just gritted my teeth and pushed my legs forward as if they were going to break.
