I Can’t Run Away From the Girl Who Saved Me - I Can’t Run Away From the Girl Who Saved Me chapter 61

61 – Burning Machine (5)

＊

Balder.

In the past, he was an adventurer.

Most adventurers who travel around the world do not have their activities or names known, except for a very special few due to the nature of their jobs.

In order to become famous as an adventurer, one had to have legendary achievements that could boast of outstanding dance skills, or one had to make a huge fortune by selling rare items collected while traveling around the world.

Not wanting to live as a nobleman’s servant like his parents and older brother, he ran away from his hometown and wandered around, trying his best, but Balder’s skills were not enough to make a name for himself.

But Balder didn’t care much.

If he had outstanding skills, he might have been taken on a journey to subdue the devil and been killed.

Of course, he was not enough to make a name for himself, but Balder had enough skills to make a living.

The experiences I gained as a result of going through hardships and hardships since childhood allowed me to function as a sufficiently skilled adventurer, even though it was not my calling.

Balder himself said, ‘Although he cannot subdue the dragon, he is skilled enough to steal eggs from the dragon’s nest and run away.’ This was an accurate assessment without exaggeration or humility.

When the expedition team led by the warriors advanced towards the Demon King’s castle, Balder secretly chased after them with his companions.

Although he had no desire to fight the Demon King, he did so in order to steal the treasure and eggs of the earth dragon that was said to be in the Lying Tree Forest and run away.

The shallow idea that the previous expedition team would drive out all the dangerous monsters, so if they secretly followed them, they would be able to safely reach the dangerous forest, surprisingly worked out well.

Balder and his companions entered the forest of trees lying down easily enough to hum.

As they entered deeper into the forest in earnest, Balder and his companions began to search the forest, leaving behind the expedition team that was resting for a while and reorganizing their battle lines.

Now, the area where the earth dragon lives is not far away, and since I didn’t fight a single battle to get here, I was confident in my physical strength.

Moreover, the adventurer’s eyes, which had been strengthened by long experience, were able to pinpoint the traces of the earth dragon quite accurately, so there was nothing particularly difficult about it.

That moment when everything was running smoothly.

Balder accidentally encountered the Demon King, who had gone on a scouting mission to check the warrior’s skills.

The heads of Balder’s companions rolled on the ground without even letting out a single scream.

“At that moment, I realized. “You can’t win.”

Balder reminisced about that time with an expression of emotion.

Alice took a deep, cautious breath and gathered her strength, while firing wildly at her Balder, who was absorbed in her own memories.

“Whew, an idiot like you must be like that.”

“…No, humanity.”

“…Sigh”

“Whether we are warriors, heroes, or anyone else, we instinctively realized that we, mere humans, could never defeat this overwhelming being.”

“…Hueup”

“So, I crushed the severed heads of my comrades and bowed to them, and thanks to his mercy, I became the devil’s henchman.”

“Sigh! “I’m proud of it.”

“It’s something to be proud of. Because we can survive while looking down on the human race that will soon be destroyed. But what are you doing from earlier?”

“Huh… So, you murdered Maria’s, your niece’s parents, and your brother and sister-in-law in such a cruel way? For the devil? “You disgusting bastard!”

Alice, who had been quietly breathing and gathering strength, suddenly got angry in an attempt to divert Balder’s consciousness.

Balder laughed at Alice without any suspicion.

I don’t know what she was trying to do, but I could never escape her chains.

A curse using the magic power and evil forbidden knowledge bestowed by the Demon King.

It was a powerful binding technique that consumed the twisted vengeful spirits of eighteen people who had been forged through indescribable, terrible pain.

That never-ending chain does not simply bind her arms, but penetrates into her bones and flesh, tying them tightly together.

In effect, her arm and chain become one.

No matter how much divine power she poured out, she could never break that chain.

Baldeo smiled leisurely and continued speaking.

“You can talk as much as you want. “Anyway, you will soon…”

“I guess there aren’t any newspapers in that stinking idiot neighborhood where the demons live? The devil has already left the night before, so what are you going to do now? “You idiot,”

“…hahahahaha,”

You really have a foul mouth, you arrogant girl.

Balder snarled in a low voice, hiding his comically superficial attitude.

“You may find me disgusting, but I find you so disgusting that I can’t stand it. The devil is dead? To a snotty girl who just graduated from the academy?”

“What are you asking me to do for falling behind? “Sylvia was originally a monster.”

“Really… I’m so arrogant and cocky that I have nothing to say.”

“That’s it.”

Alice rudely interrupted Balder.

“…?”

“I don’t know if you are trying to revive the Demon King, or if the Demon King is not dead and is hiding somewhere, but it doesn’t matter what happens now, and I don’t care.”

“What,”

At that moment, along with a huge roar that echoed throughout the basement, a flash of light so large that it penetrated the basement and brightened up the entire town in the middle of the night burst out from Alice.

Balder covered his eyes and groaned.

“Where are you tricking me!”

Balder gritted his teeth and waved his hand, scattering darkness before his eyes.

Alice was seen blurry in a chaotic field of vision where light and darkness were all mixed together.

Alice burst out, pulling at her tattered arms and tearing them off.

Her chains wrapped around her lower shoulders fluttered in the air, and her body, losing both her arms, fell to the floor, losing its balance.

And almost at the same time, Alice’s body shot towards her Balder.

As Alice approached Balder, her horrifying voice came out through her angry teeth.

“Because you will be caught by me here.”

＊

In the dark light where you couldn’t see an inch ahead, only the sound of a crashing sound rang out for a long time.

It was the sound of Balder and Alice fighting.

After a while, as the sound slowly subsided and the light that filled the basement faded, two people were seen standing a little distance apart.

Balder was standing unsteadily with a gaping hole from the middle of her stomach all the way to her chest, and Alice was standing in perfect condition, even her lost arm having grown out.

Balder spoke while breathing heavily.

“Crazy… b*tch,”

The chains penetrate deep into the bones.

Alice exploded her divine power into both of her arms, but it wasn’t her attack aimed at her chains.

He cut off his own arm.

She clearly saw the bones and tendons hanging from her tattered arms from the explosion being forcibly pulled apart.

Her mental power and tenacity were terrifying, but what was truly scary was what happened next.

It was a scene where her arms sprouted in an instant.

Balder clearly saw the white mist slowly rising from Alice’s severed shoulder and then turning into her arm, which disappeared in an instant.

“…What kind of divine power is that? “There are no undead…”

Alice spoke bluntly, as if nothing had happened to her insult.

“Seeing as how your body doesn’t die even though it’s at that size, I guess you’re not human either, right?”

“Ha, already…”

“Actually, I’m not curious.”

Alice flew up in an instant and kicked her Balder in the head.

The impact felt as if her entire head was torn off, causing her to fly off her feet and crash against the wall next to the basement with a loud crash.

Alice pulled the knife out of the abdomen of the man who was lying on the floor.

Judging by the man’s groaning sounds, it seemed like he was still alive.

Alice brushed the blood off her sword and walked towards her Balder, she said.

“I’m tired of hearing your sh*tty voice.”

“Pfft,”

“All I want is for you to stay alive and urinate while I rip off every inch of your flesh. “Don’t scream, I don’t want to hear it.”

“Ha, monster…”

“You call me a monster,”

Alice said, pointing her sword at Balder’s neck.

“Among my classmates, there were people who were even more monsters than me. “Maria and Sylvia.”

“…”

“You know? “One is your nephew, and the other is a warrior with the devil’s hat whom you like so much.”

“…This b*tch,”

“I don’t want to hear your voice. “You idiot, don’t you understand?”

“Kahak!”

Alice stabbed the sword right into the center of Balder’s neck.

Even though black blood, clearly different from human blood, was flowing out from the blade of the sword, Balder did not die.

She said with a satisfied smile.

“Very good.”

Balder let out a rough breath, flinched, and suddenly chewed his tongue.

“What are you doing?”

Tuk,

The tongue, broken in two, fell to the floor.

At that moment, Balder’s body disappeared without form.

The blood stains and the pieces of his body that fell like fragments disappeared as if they had never existed in the first place.

“…What?”

Alice was embarrassed and put away her sword.

The black blood stains that would have been on the sword had also disappeared.

All that remained was Balder’s tongue, which was slowly shriveling on the ground.

Unidentified letters were scribbled in bright red on the tongue.

It seemed to be a special type of transmission magic, as nothing special was caught in the barrier that had been spread around the mansion.

Alice hit the basement wall and screamed.

“Holy sh*t!”

I missed it.

She was caught off guard like an asshole.

She tried her wits, but at the last moment, right before her eyes, she lost it.

Of course, I had never heard of this type of magic, so I had no way to be careful, but I should have expected that there would be a means of escape.

Thanks to the horrific scale of the unidentified magic circle and the sacrifice of the entire village, people thought that the damn chain was the last move he had prepared, which was a defeat.

“…Balder, you bastard.”

From No ble mt L dot c om

Alice gasped, clutching her heart, which was pounding like it was about to burst.

“Calm down, let’s calm down… How the f*ck, how can you do it right in front of my eyes…!”

It showed no signs of calming down.

Alice caught her breath, trying to organize her thoughts with her heated head.

“First of all, Balder is not my opponent. If we meet, we can definitely subdue it. Knowing that is a great harvest. “No matter how evil pagan magic is, I can handle it well.”

My heated head never cooled down.

The blood vessels on her forehead and around her neck squirmed, rising and falling repeatedly.

Alice mumbled, scratching her neck and forehead frantically.

“eeeggggg! f*ck, no. No, no, no, more, different thoughts. Others … Yeah, the f*cking cubs don’t die, so if you hold it, you can tear it all your life. Even if you take out all the teeth of the pigs at the pig farm, make a saw, and slowly cut off the pigs’ teeth and poke her eyes out, she won’t die. Yes, f*ck yes! Think about it. Okay, okay, wow…”

I try my best to imagine something pleasant, but the deep regret and sorrow that is spread all over my skin doesn’t go away.

Alice said, smacking her head.

“And, and… Yes, we can’t save the boat because all the villagers are dead. I have to go back to the Vatican. We need to put off going to the border and tell them this. Perhaps the disaster the Pope spoke of is related to the devil…!”

And… And… Wait.

“The devil?”

Alice’s mind went cold.

“Maria… Sylvia…”

Maybe…

It was a terrible thought, but one doubt crossed her mind.

“…No way… It’s not like you couldn’t kill the Demon King…?”

Then, Maria… Was killed.

Alice shook her head.

Suddenly her blood spurted.

A cold, subsiding anger, different from the boiling hot anger just a moment ago, was about to settle heavily in Alice’s stomach.

“Don’t think of that, think of something else. Something different, a different idea.”

It was then.

“Please save me…”

A thin, almost dying voice was heard.

Alice turned around at the sound of that voice.

“…Please help me… Save me…”

The man Alice stabbed was still breathing.

To be honest, he was extremely annoying, but Alice couldn’t ignore him.

Although Balder created the situation, in the end, it was Alice herself who stabbed the man, and because ‘A gift for Lady Alice’ was written on the man’s chest.

If a body like this was found abandoned, it could have raised unnecessary suspicion in the future, so it was impossible to just leave it there.

Alice slowly sighed and approached the man.

“Please, don’t kill me…”

“I’m sorry about earlier… But at least you survived…”

“I don’t know anything… Everything, Balder… Balder’s staff told me to…”

“…What?”

The man was drooling and gibbering.

“Balder… Went… And made me… King…”

“…What the f*ck,”

Because she was so distracted by the terrible sight and the battle filled with rage, she didn’t notice it, but the man had a face that Alice knew.

Veron Thiorid.

The third prince of this kingdom.

He was the mastermind behind the assailants who attacked various areas, including the Goldfield Estate, and was suspected of being behind Balder.

“Ha, you mean a gift…?”

They used up a lot of the royal family of a country and then threw it away because they no longer needed it.

Alice was almost amazed at Balder’s shamelessness.

Of course, it could be seen as a gift.

Alice said, roughly lifting the man up.

“Tell me everything you know. “If you want to die a little more comfortably.”

“Balder… Everything, Balder…!”

“Not here,”

Alice glared at him with creepy eyes.

Since he cooperated with Balder, no matter how royal he was, he would definitely be put into his pig farm.

The prince nodded, trembling.

In the end, it was Balder, not this human, who was behind it.

Balder mentioned the Demon King.

It seemed certain that he would bring disaster to this world.

Alice felt herself laughing.

“Ha…”

The Pope’s words and Balder’s disgusting voice echo in Alice’s head at the same time.

Revenge and representation.

It was the moment when her two goals merged into one.

“I will definitely kill you.”
