55 – The Falling City (5)

The moment Asher said that, the three enemies turned towards Asher.

“Did I hear you right?”

“Assel, are you serious?”

Asher tilted his head.

She said that too, but she didn’t quite understand the harsh atmosphere.

Asher said exactly what he felt.

To stop the questioning of Argal.

But the reaction is strange.

Raelina Fran is shocked, and Bessia is in a situation where she can only open her mouth and not be able to speak.

Asher, still unable to understand the feelings of others, tilted his head, not knowing what the situation was.

“You’re right… ?”

Then, Bessia was the first to explode.

“Have you got another one? I left it with Asher to be safe, but did you seduce me in the meantime?!”

“I didn’t do anything to flirt with you… .”

“If that’s not flirting, then what?”

Argal was taken aback by Bessia’s bulldozer-like appearance, but like Asher, Argal did not know the feelings of others.

Because he lived a life slashed by madness, would he know the feelings of love?

I still didn’t know what Asher said was, in effect, a public confession.

Seeing this, Ardel sighed.

“Brother, you may have already eaten.”

“This is a bit embarrassing… .”

Before he could say that he was unfair, Raeli’s arm wrapped around Argal’s neck.

She murmured in a very stern voice.

“Argal?”

“…why?”

“I understand one, and even two understand.”

Raeli was a little embarrassed.

I gave my heart to Argal for the first time, but somehow Argal was making love objects one by one.

Still, Raeli understood.

Either way, it’s up to you to win in the end.

Besides, you can’t help but feel the emotions that come from saving others.

Rather, she didn’t want them to die because Argal didn’t save Bessiana Franc.

But not as much as Asher.

It wasn’t that Asher was saved by Argal, it was just the two of them innocently staying for a while.

And that only lasted a day.

Cuddle up in the meantime?

“But aren’t there three of you?”

“…You seem to have a very big misunderstanding, but I have no idea what you guys are talking about… .”

“I know it’ll be all right if you pretend you didn’t understand!”

sigh-

Raeli chokes Argal.

Fran supports him by his side.

“You are doing great. Raeli! Just knock it out!”

Asher was embarrassed and stopped Raeli.

I came out to help Argal, but the situation got worse.

“That, stop it.”

“Assel, pretending not to be very interested and flirting around, prepare yourself later!”

“Hey!”

Leaving Asher, who was frightened by Raeli’s bluff and bent over, covering her head, Bessia and Fran gathered to show Argal a spicy touch.

“Four people, this must be a bit difficult.”

“I expected that there would be one more, of course, but I am not saying that I will leave it alone if there is another one.”

“It’s right to make sure that this bad habit doesn’t happen again, right?”

Seeing that, Ardel shook his head and approached.

I’m going to clean up one person’s invoice.

I should help my younger brother.

“Just make sure it doesn’t overwhelm your body.”

“No, you have to make sure, if you think you’re going to die, I’ll save you.”

Why is the holy power coming out of the priest’s benevolent hands so bloody… ?

Ardel rarely thought of interfering in other people’s love affairs, but he held back his fear and intervened in the conversation since it was his sister’s business.

“Keuheum, kids, isn’t this what’s important right now? right?”

“Is it important?”

“Is there anything else that’s most important here besides fixing Argal’s habits?”

“That, I’m going to fix this habit later, and I’m really going to die. Hey guys.”

Raeli released the choke from Argal’s neck.

It was because Argal was so unresponsive, but if he was a normal person, he was strangled to such an extent that it wouldn’t be strange if he struggled constantly.

Argal coughed a few times before speaking to stop the angry women.

“sorry.”

“I know you’re sorry.”

“That is fortunate.”

“I’m not sorry in that sense.”

As Argal had listened to the conversation, he had only a little understanding of how they were feeling.

But I wanted to say that he thought it was a real misunderstanding.

Had Asher ever mentioned the word love?

I just wanted to move my heart.

She wanted to prevent Argal’s death.

Can that be called love?

As their eyes were turning fierce again, Argal hurriedly took out a few more words.

“I am sorry for deceiving you. It was impossible to conclude a contract from the beginning, but it was to avoid the immediate situation. Bessia, if you think about it, wasn’t it too overheated at that time?”

“That’s right. If you think about it now, there was no need to stop it that much, and besides, the church is not safe.”

Bethia meekly admitted.

Same with Fran.

“As a wizard, the person who fell under a contract is an idiot. I don’t put my heart into it that much. And… . If I can’t see it, I’m more anxious.”

“I had no intention of leaving Argal behind from the beginning.”

Argal breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, I was forgiven.

But the atmosphere hasn’t really changed.

“Then, can you loosen up a bit… .”

“But Argal, this is this and that is that, right?”

Argal was puzzled.

Obviously they forgave.

The act of lying and coming to Anthony.

However, his eyes were still fierce.

“So, shall we find out how he seduced Asher?”

“Now, wait a minute, that must be a misunderstanding… .”

“Do you think that excuse will work?”

Seeing Argal kidnapped and dragged away like that, Ardel laughed.

“…younger brother, you’ve accumulated a lot of karma while I couldn’t see you.”

It’s four people.

But soon, Ardel’s expression turned serious.

Even if I just picked it up, there were a lot of strange things.

Are you in danger of dying?

But did you take such a risk to come here?

What have you been doing, brother?

He cared about Argal as a precious family member.

**

While almost being dragged by three girls, the savior was found in an unexpected place.

A boy with blue hair like waves.

…I didn’t expect the face of the swordsman to be so happy.

Beside the Sword Saint, I saw a face I knew.

He looked a little younger than before the return.

Anthony’s Mayor.

The one who did not give in to my attack and fought to the death.

He was the most upright in that dark era, so he did not forget his face.

However, he lost the battle with me and became the foundation for transcendence.

“I moved all the knights and troops, and I also asked for help from the capital. Is this enough?”

“I can’t say for sure. Do you have more power to mobilize?”

“I could find out more, but I don’t know if I can be of any more significant help than this.”

The swordsman had a conversation with the mayor, and then his eyes turned to us.

The swordsman who found me made a face that said he knew that.

“I expected you to come.”

“As expected, could you help me?”

The Sword Saint looked at the three women who were tightly wrapped around me and smiled.

“What the hell have you done wrong that they are trying to kill you?”

“…I don’t know either.”

“You don’t know? That’s the worst excuse ever!”

Regardless, the swordsman properly carried out my request.

It’s not the time to be like this, but it’s using the situation.

“Fran, I heard that you blocked the black magic bombardment with your barrier. It could have prevented thousands of casualties, but due to the structure of this situation, as few people as possible should die. I really need your help.”

“Is that so?”

“Protect the citizens entering the castle for a while. Even that alone will have a huge impact on my future work.”

Frank nodded.

If she didn’t stop it, it wouldn’t be strange if a disaster would happen.

Rather than capture me, I made a choice to save countless citizens.

Geomseong did not stop here and moved the hearts of the other girls.

Fundamentally, their heart is to take advantage of being good.

“Vessia, the undead attacks have already begun, and there are many people who came in from outside the castle after being injured. He was seriously injured on the verge of death, so he needs your help.”

“…Where is it?”

“Officer, you guide me.”

“All right!”

The swordsman skillfully moved the bureaucrat who assisted him and made Bessia separate from me.

No matter how impure her attitude may be, she is fundamentally a priest.

He had a duty to save people.

Such a basis cannot be denied.

Bethia hurriedly left to treat the dying.

And the swordsman was worried while looking at Raeli.

“You just follow me.”

“why? Is there anything else I can do?”

“It is your job to protect Argal. Or do you want to risk your life to fight the undead and warlocks?”

The swordsman was clever.

Unlike Fran, a wizard, and Bessia, a priest, in order to save her specialty, she had to go out to the battlefield and risk her life to fight.

The swordsman didn’t bother to create a situation where she could die.

Raeli, who vaguely noticed the swordsman’s intentions, agreed but released me.

The atmosphere of the moment had completely disappeared.

It made me aware of the bigger problem, the bigger risk, so I didn’t care more about the relationship.

“…Let’s postpone it to another time, Argal.”

No, it was just an escape.

I shuddered at Raeli’s bloody whisper.

Even so, it’s definitely helpful. Sword Saint.

“thanks.”

“You don’t have to thank me. You helped me because I needed your strength anyway.”

The swordsman looked up at the sky.

The black magic that had accumulated there was blocking the light of the sun and making the entire city dark.

“An aging priest gave me an analysis of black magic. It’s a terrible black magic that needs no words.”

“I know that too.”

“That is why it is necessary.”

The swordsman moved on.

The gloomy atmosphere in the city was gradually intensifying.

Refugees who come from outside the castle, pack heavy bags, and wander around because there is no place to stay for a while.

The faces of children who can’t smile and are anxious.

All of that seemed to speak to the condition of the city.

“Aww! mom! Dad!”

“I-I’ll take care of that child for a second.”

In the meantime, Raeli found the parents of a child wandering around alone, and separated from us for a while.

The swordsman paused for a moment and continued.

“There is only one thing to believe, that the hero in the capital brings the power of the Golden Knights in time and wipes out the black magicians.”

The swordsman was not optimistic.

The situation was too unstable to believe in such a possibility.

“But what if the royal family stops the Golden Knights?”

“…I’m concerned about that too.”

“Under normal circumstances, the royal family would have moved the executive to slaughter the black pagoda owner. But the executive branch has not made any moves.”

Another force of the royal family besides the Golden Knights.

Their strength was enough to slaughter the rampaging Black Pagoda Master.

But it didn’t.

Based on this, the swordsman guessed that Wanga was standing by or helping the Black Pagoda owner.

“I don’t trust the royal family. I can’t even guarantee that the Golden Knights will come to help in time.”

Worst case scenario.

The city did not have the power to slaughter the warlocks pouring out undead legions, and without reinforcements, it was inevitable that it would collapse helplessly.

“That’s why I need your strength.”

The swordsman looked at me and said.

…he was noticing.

“Your black magic skills.”

The fact that I am not a wizard, but a warlock.

“Since when did you know?”

“I did some research at my hometown. In the first place, unless it was a magic sword, there was no artifact that would allow you to use that level of black magic. I wonder if it was simple black magic, because you were at the level of handling it almost freely.”

“…not really.”

If there’s a reason people other than the Sword Saint have misunderstood so far, it’s because of the stereotype that magic and black magic can’t coexist.

However, the swordsman knew the limits of the artifact through his research, so he was sure that I was a warlock.

On top of that, the fact that my black magic skills are quite good.

“I only ask you one thing.”

Sword Saint pointed his finger at the sky and said.

He showed a fierce determination.

I knew I had to, and that if I didn’t, the city would be wiped off the map.

attitude that shows

“Can you destroy that black magic?”
