135 – Intruder (4)

restless smile. calm voice. classy atmosphere.

And the sticky flesh that wasn’t completely covered even with those peaceful parts.

Even in the face of a sense of intimidation that would not be strange if a normal person would faint right away, the movement of the warrior party was flowing like water.

”okay·····. It seems that the savior was not here, but where Beta went… If so, my role is not to honor him, but simply to earn time… Ha, how could God be so cruel…”

Before the woman’s sad sigh was over, Apis quickly drew her bow and aimed at the target.

In addition to the appearance of a woman who perfectly matched the impression of the assassin I heard from the hero the other day.

It was because he judged that she was a formidable enemy who had to be eliminated as soon as possible from the momentum of a woman who easily surpassed the number of monsters.

”Fire. come.”

A combination of spirit magic and arrows that are not used indoors or anywhere out of concern for surrounding damage.

That meant that in Apis’ eyes, the woman’s existence was so bloated.

”Oh, you’re a quick-tempered person. I tried to kill you once, but dwelling on the past is bad behavior. Now, why don’t you introduce yourself first? My name is Alpha. no·····. Liza! okay! Liza! My name that he personally took back! existence! That’s rai—!”

”Search.”

Quagga River!

An arrow of red flame that flew with courage swallowed the woman’s body in an instant.

It was so powerful that even a trace of the target being alive, let alone a corpse, would not remain.

However, in the eyes of the members heading to the epicenter of the binge drinking, no feeling of relief could be found.

”apis! Please step back!”

”Awesome!”

As the hero’s command sounded, several chains came out through the explosion.

Right next to Apis, who narrowly avoided the sudden attack, the warrior with a drawn sword darted away.

Cheng Kang!

The chilling tones of metal colliding echoed across the hallway.

Before long, an expression akin to fear welled up on the faces of everyone present except the woman.

”What!”

”Koo, cool! After, hehehe!”

The reason the hero inadvertently let out his shocking words was not because the sword he wielded was helplessly stopped by the chain pulled out by the woman.

It was because the woman, who had been hit by Apis’ arrow and had a huge hole in her body, was looking at the hero with a benevolent smile like an adult watching a child’s mischief.

An action that stemmed from the calculation that if the chain removed from the body was used to block Apis’ arrow, it would not be able to completely block the next hero’s offensive.

It was undoubtedly the work of a madman.

”You’re crazy…”

It was no wonder that Dauna had accidentally said such a thing.

”Koo, cool! Oh, I know. With my insignificant life, kuh kuh hmm! It’s only about tying your feet for about 10 minutes at most. But I don’t care at all. This is the fate I chose for myself. mission given to him. our savior! If it’s to save Priest Reiges from the cultists! If only to enshrine that holy body by our side! I am here to gladly offer my sinful soul to God!”

The warrior sensed something from the woman’s words and actions, as if she were reciting prayers even while she was coughing up blood from her mouth.

A frontal breakthrough, not an untimely assassination. A defensive stance that is in stark contrast to the maddened aggression of the previous day.

Moreover, from a while ago, to the name of someone who constantly put it on his lips.

”Stop, no way…!”

Their purpose!

◈◈◈

”It was my purpose from the beginning. Is this what you mean…”

”That’s right!”

To a question I asked without expecting an answer, such a cool answer came back, which made me even more perplexed.

Due to the aftermath of carelessly putting myself into a job where it is easy to encounter eccentric people, I have met countless eccentrics.

The conversation with this woman, who said her name as ‘Beta’, seemed like her mental strength was wearing away every time she spoke, and it was like hell.

”At first, I did it recklessly because I wanted to know what kind of reaction the saintess and her followers would react to if I killed the heroine, who was a close friend of the saintess! Because I came here The dragon and the saint aren’t as close as we thought? Rather, they growled at each other! Still, I was worried that I would kill someone in order while I was here, so I used my hand. Isn’t that something you’re slowly saving? hahahahaha! I am! This is why people shouldn’t do things without a plan! Because nothing happens! is not it?”

His whole body was buried in the ice that rose from all directions, and he had to fight her words and get information out of it now, when neither fighting nor escaping was feasible.

However, it was difficult to make a rational decision because of the disgust that boiled like lava in the stomach.

”What’s so funny…”

”Oh sorry! Did I just say too much? Is it because it’s cold? But if I melt the ice, they’ll run away right away, so I can’t let them go… ah! yes! I’ll cover you with a blanket!”

”What’s so funny about playing with people’s lives…!”

”····· Uhhh ♪ You can make a face like that! Good! I like this more than the usual sloppy impression!”

Unlike me, who gets more angry the longer the conversation goes on, she seemed to be at a loss as she was enjoying the current situation.

blah blah blah

Every time I tossed and turned with all my might, the rupture I heard seemed to clearly represent my sorrowful thoughts.

”I don’t know what the world is like. Even when all the plans I had prepared in advance came to a halt, I was so upset that I felt like going crazy. It’s because of that failure that I learned that there are people like you.”

someone like you

Words that normally wouldn’t mean much.

It was rubbish that should have been dismissed as mere nonsense, but there was one fact that I can guess now.

No way, what the nun said…

”What are you doing! The important thing is that we were able to meet like this through a series of coincidences! hahahaha ♪ Is this the fateful encounter you’ve only heard about?”

How long did her exaggerated self-talk, reminiscent of a comedian performing a one-person play, last?

Before long, she gently brought her own lips to my ear.

”I’ll tell you directly. Did you say Rage’s Rowville? Won’t you join us?”

The melody was indescribably cool and melancholy, to the extent that it felt like the heat of the heated body had cooled down in an instant.

The coldness of the ice covering my entire body was to the point of being laughable.

”Ah, of course you’re not asking with your bare mouth? If you stick by our side, I’ll make anything you ask for!”

Tapping my thigh protruding from the ice with her slender index and middle fingers like a piano player, she continued talking.

”If there’s a woman you want, tell me anytime! I won’t tell you to pick only one person like a jjomsaeng. Whether you become a famous aristocrat or a noble princess, I will make you an obedient doll that only listens to you and makes it impossible to live without you. how is it? Isn’t it a proposition that can only appeal to men?’

Immediately after feeling a vague sense of deja vu, an underlying disgust surged up a beat later.

When I received a proposal similar to this one from Sister, although it was only for a fleeting moment, I was disturbed.

But what about now?

anything. I didn’t feel anything.

The anger that burned my body just a moment ago. Fear towards the strong that cannot be matched.

In the place where all such trivial thoughts had died away, there was only a sense of alienation, as if I was facing a creature completely different from mine.

”I will refuse.”

”Ahahahaha! I knew you would say that! I mean sometimes! A foolish person like you who kicks away the good fortune that rolls in! Oh, do you have a partner who has already promised a future? oh! Now that I look at it, I even have a ring on my hand! Kyaak ♪ Romantic guy~!”

She glanced at the ring in my hand and twisted her body around, making a fuss.

Maybe this is the first time I’ve thought of hitting a woman.

That was around the time I was struggling with the violent impulses that hindered my forward thinking for a long time.

”Then it doesn’t matter. I have no choice but to force them to join us.”

”Awesome!”

Hiding my expression in the shade, she grabbed my head with both hands without hesitation.

I reflexively tried to struggle, but my limbs were bound and the only resistance I could do now was to open my eyes and stare at her.

”I’ve longed for it since long ago! Stealing someone else’s man who owns it! Ahahahaha ♪”

”····· Big!”

It was around the time when I was unable to stir up even the slightest distress or struggle against the invasion of the ice that had climbed up my neck and reached my lips before I knew it.

”brother.”

A fierce flash of light rose from my grasp. Mysterious echoes echoed so well-known and familiar that I wondered if they had resonated directly in my head.
