I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 601



54. My great sword is invincible!

A sudden wave of panic surged within me, an instinctive sense of danger compelling me to rise from my previously calm position on the magic circle. I stood up and, with a wave of my hand, began to manipulate the translucent crystal ball hovering before me, addressing the fairy within it!

“Icarus, what’s wrong?!”

This time, the fairy had lost her initial arrogance. Although her words still carried a cold, mechanical tone, she no longer seemed to despise me; instead, she instinctively lifted her head.

“Not found…”

“!”

I certainly knew what Icarus had not found. After all, the dangerous script had once again unfolded before my eyes, detailed enough to reveal the “manner and reason of death” for this self-disciplined fairy.

And I was all too aware that when the content of a death script shifts from vague foreboding to clear, detailed imagery, it is absolutely not a time for celebration. The clearer the script, the harder it is to change the course of events, and…

It was about to arrive!

【Boom】

As if confirming my worst fears, a dull thud echoed, and the ground beneath me trembled, “Creak!”

Zelus immediately grabbed my pant leg with her claws, “An earthquake!?”

If only it were just an earthquake! At this moment, unlike Icarus’s futile search for Ludwig’s “GPS,” I could see my script all too clearly!

【Ludwig and Magnus have found Icarus’s location!】

Icarus’s death script was, after all, looming right before me; the “grim reaper” had arrived!

“Stop searching, Icarus, they… are coming!”

【Crack】

The second tremor came with a strange sound, intensifying further.

Several “wires” around Icarus shook loose, and colorful magical energy flowed directly from them. Just as Icarus jumped down from the magic circle, I finally realized that the sound I had heard earlier was the sound of “cracks” coming from the door in the core area…

The third tremor struck! Accompanied by a sharp and piercing sword cry, a cross-shaped crack suddenly appeared in the center of that high-tech door, which I had thought was as indestructible as a small mountain, and then… something crashed through it!

Despite the grand spectacle, strangely, everything was utterly silent! Even the earlier sword cry seemed to be merely a result of the sound traveling from the ground because we were so close! After this ruin, a figure slowly emerged, dragging a “giant sword” that I was very familiar with.

“Ah… this material is a bit too hard for a whetstone; I hope the blade doesn’t get nicked. Just thinking about the repairs makes me feel so troubled…”

【Ludwig and the Wind Fairy Magnus have appeared!】

【Ludwig has destroyed the fairy Icarus!】

The previously lazy Sword Saint, who could barely cope even with the power of the Moon Fairy that Kephiel had used, had now appeared! No wonder Icarus, despite hiding in a place that could be called a “bomb shelter,” still faced a deadly script!

After all, I had truly experienced the power of this Sword Saint; it was no exaggeration to say that even if one hid in a “solid fortress,” she could dig three feet underground to find them! Destroying this mere door was hardly a challenge!

And the more troublesome matters were yet to come!

Next, a green fairy flew out from Ludwig’s eyes, the Wind Fairy Magnus, who had been taken by Nilu in the Kingdom of Prulith!

“Stop the chatter, Ludwig, and quickly fulfill the master’s orders!”

It seemed she was the “assassin” sent by Nilu this time, and in the next moment, I immediately understood why it was the Wind Fairy Magnus.

Her and Ludwig’s fairy-like demeanor clearly provided them with considerable advantages, but more importantly, it was Magnus’s power…

“A fairy that betrays her master is not worth a second of mercy~”

She raised her hand, and the emerald light wrinkled, gradually enveloping the sky above the core area.

Then, with a wave!

The light poured down, and for a moment, everything around fell into silence!

【The Wind Fairy Magnus has controlled the flow of wind, isolating all sounds from the surroundings!】

So it was the fairy’s power that made the earlier violent noise as gentle as a feather falling to the ground! This ability, combined with Ludwig’s strength, was perfectly suited for “instant-killing fairies” in the heavily guarded Kingdom of Prulith! And this was likely the purpose of the two fairies’ appearance on this mission!

“Ah… so you, this fairy, don’t be in such a hurry. Although it seems troublesome to think about, I still have some things to do regarding this fairy.”

With that, Ludwig looked up at Icarus.

I couldn’t tell if it was just my imagination, but after seeing the two of them with their remarkably similar “white hair” and “long ears” as fairies, I felt that their connection went beyond just the relationship of assassin and target.

“Speaking of which, after all these years, you still only know how to hide in your shell, Icarus. Although for fairies like us, losing one means one less, it’s still the employer’s order. Could you please not resist and let me directly cut off your head to take back?”

This guy talks about destroying fairies as if he’s haggling over vegetables!

Finally snapping out of the panic from the “sudden intrusion,” Icarus immediately pulled out the “wires” from her feet. I believed she definitely had some hidden cards, but just as she was about to reach out to “press something,” a gust of wind suddenly blew around her with a wave of the wind fairy’s hand!

The wind swept her off the high platform, and if I hadn’t caught her immediately, I feared that this fairy, with her seemingly precious “mecha,” would have been badly damaged!

But just holding onto Icarus wasn’t enough; the crisis wasn’t over yet! Icarus’s script clearly stated that she had no strength whatsoever, not to mention I had a little fox, Zelus, beside me. Setting those aside, even if they weren’t a burden, I… I wasn’t in any better shape myself.

My protection at least made Magnus hesitate, and she didn’t continue her attack, instead showing an impatient expression.

“Your Majesty, you should know why we are here. Could you please not get in the way? Otherwise, if you end up missing an arm or a leg, I’ll get scolded when I return.”

Hmph, that’s exactly the result I wanted; otherwise, why would I want to be a human shield?

Ignoring Magnus’s complaints, her appearance as the “assassin” sent by Nilu was only natural. What I cared about even more now… was Ludwig’s presence.

“Ludwig, you…”

Why are you here! That was the question I wanted to ask the most. I had initially come here at the request of the moon fairy, intending to find a way to “resolve” things upon seeing Ludwig. But now it seemed that this fairy sword saint wasn’t just passing through the Kingdom of Pluris; her script had been intertwined with ours from the very beginning, and at this moment, she intended to disrupt Icarus and obstruct Kephir’s script.

Could it be…

“Eh? Of course, I’m here~ because I’ve slightly changed my master and got a new job. After all, I only want to do things I like~ I don’t want to deal with troublesome matters at all.”

Saying this, Ludwig bounced a bit while dragging her oversized sword, then looked at me.

“So I went to find a new employer, since this employer seems to be deeply involved with both of you. And for me, the least troublesome thing right now… is your matters!”

【Ludwig has disrupted Icarus!】

【Ludwig has accidentally injured Oghlid!】

For a moment, a dangerous script descended upon us, not just the threat of Icarus’s death script, but even I found myself unable to avoid being dragged into it!

Because this Ludwig simply didn’t care about my identity, nor did he heed Magnus’s attempts to stop him; he was only interested in being “untroublesome” and “amusing”…

And he just wanted to cause destruction!
