I Wish My Husband Were Dead - Chapter 145



Only Noblemtl

Hello, My Daughter
2024.03.24.

Soon after, a strong wind blew that made her sway. Even the sturdy knights had to walk in a zigzag manner instead of walking in a straight line to move forward.

Nazabut glared at the dark clouds with a frown.

A second loud noise fell from the sky. Only then did the remaining knights start to move in a hurry, perhaps because they were afraid.

“You’re finally here,”

Lottie muttered. He took out another dagger from his bosom and handed it to Cordelia. She sharpened the dagger.

“We have to finish it in one go. We don’t have many chances.”

“Yeah.”

Cordelia’s hair blew wildly in the gusting wind. Instead of straightening it, she took a deep breath.

The third thunder came down with lightning. The light was so intense that she couldn’t open her eyes properly. Naturally, Cordelia also turned her head and closed her eyes. The lightning struck Nazabut right away.

“Aaaah!”

Nazabut screamed. It was a powerful blow that made the unsuspecting rejoice at his death.

The snake that had been binding Nazabut disappeared in an instant as if it had evaporated. Several knights who had not yet completely escaped its sphere of influence were swept away by the lightning and burned black.

However, when the smoke cleared, Nazabut was still standing on his two legs, although staggering. And Rosenblu, or Servette, stood firmly across from him.

Nazabut recognized him and laughed, shrugging his shoulders.

“Dragging that heavy ass all the way here? Am I quite a threat?”

“Well. Sometimes it’s fun to catch bugs.”

“Bugs? Haha. If it’s a bug that the twelfth devil has to come down to catch, then it’s pretty good, right?”

To those who didn’t know, it would seem like Lydia and the Rosenbler siblings were having a conversation, but inside were demons.

“You will receive the sins you have committed.”

“Hahaha. Sin? What sin? I came to this world only because of the contract holder’s call. Just like you did twenty years ago.”

Nazabut already knew that the rift between the worlds was because of Servette.

Servette didn’t change her expression easily despite his provocation. She simply extended her hand as if offering a handshake.

“Go back. This is not your place.”

“Now? It’s too late anyway. Do you know why I haven’t killed Cordelia yet? Even though I knew that if I didn’t fulfill the contract, my insides would rot away?”

Nazabut coughed and looked at Cordelia, who was standing far away. Servette glanced at Cordelia, following his gaze, then quickly stared at Nazabut.

“In that time, kill more humans to gain more power, and with that power, with that power, with that power, this world!”

Nazabut trembled as if he had lost his mind. Servette was not surprised by his words.

“With that power, you’re going to widen the gap between the worlds.”

“… … What. Did you know?”

“It’s stranger not to know when you’re being so blatant.”

“If you knew, it would be easier to talk. I’m going to merge the two separate worlds into one! What do you think? Isn’t it cool to think about? Is there a reason why demons and humans should live separately? For the demons? In the end, it’s to protect humans. Anyway, whatever you do is too late now. Hahaha!”

Nazabut burst into laughter, then knelt down, placed both hands on the ground, and began muttering something incomprehensible.

Soon, a black liquid rose up from the ground. It gradually changed into a human form.

“Go, go and kill more!”

Countless shadows spread out in all directions, centered around Nazabut.

Servette frowned and killed the shadows as they came into view. Then she shouted to Lottie and Cordelia behind her,

“I’m planning to kill myself now.”

“What?”

“If you create so many shadows at once, your body will eventually be unable to handle it and will collapse. Nazabut is planning to explode right now!”

For the first time, Servette’s eyes became anxious. Then, a shadow leaped at Cordelia as if to attack her. But before she could put up a shield, the shadow was cleanly split in half.

“Veluce! When did you come?”

“Just now. The Marquis of Ingrion told me to help you and earn merits.”

“My goodness. You haven’t given up yet?”

Beluce shrugged without answering. At that moment, a welcoming voice was heard from behind her.

“So what should we do now?”

Baron asked, sticking his head out. Servette interrupted.

“We need to speed up the plan, Cordelia.”

“Yes.”

“Can you do it?”

It was already known that Nazabut’s purpose was not simply to kill humans. Therefore, in order to prevent the blurring of the boundaries of the world, which Servette was concerned about, she could not simply kill Nazabut.

Thus, Servette met with human wizards with Leonard and made a plan to seal Nazabut.

“I will do it. No, I will do it.”

Cordelia nodded resolutely. She held the dagger that Loti had given her tightly.

“Yes. Just do as we practiced before. Don’t worry too much.”

Immediately after making the contract with Servette, he kindly told Cordelia what would happen next and what she had to do.

‘You have to pierce Nazabut’s heart yourself.’

Of course, Leonard was furious when he learned of the plan.

In the end, since Nazabut was trying to harm Cordelia, making the contract was just a facade. The real goal was to seal Nazabut permanently, and he strongly urged Cordelia to do it herself.

“Why should Cordelia do such a dangerous thing? You can do it yourself.”

“She started it, so she should finish it.”

Servette said in a dazed tone. Even though Leonard threatened her with all sorts of threats, she kept her mouth shut.

“The master will be here soon.”

Baron said with a slight smile, perhaps noticing Cordelia’s nervousness.

The hand holding the dagger was sweaty. Just a year ago, she was just Vasquez’s daughter who had married Abrams, so how did she end up saving the world, or rather, having to save it?

“Get ready, Laustonio and I will get Nazabut’s attention.”

“Understood.”

Servette ran to Nazabut with Loti. Even in the midst of this, black shadows continued to appear.

Servette cut them down in one breath and grabbed Nazabut’s long claws with one hand. The poison on the tip of his fingernail stained Servette’s palm black, but he didn’t blink.

“It’s no use. I’ve already prepared everything.”

“Yes. All I can do is delay time.”

Servette snapped his fingernail and threw it on the ground. Nazabut just smirked at the sight of his strangely twisted finger. Servette

closed her eyes. Then she called out to the owner of the body that had been buried under the sea. The man who had been watching the whole situation opened his eyes.

“Lydia.”

“What are you doing?”

“How have you been?”

Rosenblu stumbled and hugged Nazabut tightly. Nazabut snorted and tried to escape, but her strength was running wild because she had already created too many shadows. In other words, it was difficult to completely control Lydia’s mind.

In response to Rosenblu’s voice, one of Nazabut’s eyes turned blue again.

“Lydia, do you remember?

“What do you want me to do now? Let go of this!”

“He said he was taking good care of you and asked me to protect you.”

“Let go! Let go!”

Nazabut, who was struggling, cut Rosenblu’s back with her other hand. The poison on her fingernails quickly turned his back black.

However, Rosenblu’s expression was incredibly calm from beginning to end, as if she didn’t feel any pain.

“I will keep that promise. Definitely.”

Rosenblu’s body glowed white in an instant. The light filled Nazabut’s entire body as if it were contagious.

“Ah, ah!”

He screamed and writhed in pain.

Cordelia, who was watching the scene, felt her heart swell as if it was going to burst. That was the signal that Cordelia had to step forward. She thought of

the sealing magic circle she had practiced dozens of times before coming here.

And she began to draw the magic circle, pouring all her effort and strength into it, one by one. As if they knew what she was preparing, countless shadows of Nazabut rushed toward her.

“Bow down!”

Cordelia hurriedly bent down at Beluche’s words. The sword engraved with peonies cut through the shadows surrounding Cordelia in one stroke. Baron, who had turned into water, protected Cordelia by moving through the shadows. He

couldn’t tolerate even a single mistake. If she failed, the world would collapse. That thought kept coming to his mind, and his hand holding the dagger kept trembling.

Then, someone placed a palm on her back.

“It’s okay.”

“Haa, haa.”

“You can do it.”

Even without looking back, she could tell who the owner was just by the voice. Cordelia suppressed her throbbing heart and looked back.

“You’re my disciple.”

“Master.”

“Do as you practiced. Calm down and concentrate.”

“Yes.”

Just with Leonard by her side, Cordelia felt much more at ease than before. The magic circle was more than halfway complete.

Just a little more. Just a little more.

Cordelia tried to suppress her impatience, but when she saw Nazabut standing up after shaking off Rosenblu’s body, she became anxious again.

Leonard noticed this and stepped forward.

“I’ll stop him, so you complete the magic.”

“Please be careful.”

“Who’s worried about whom?”

Leonard left a light kiss on Cordelia’s forehead and walked towards Nazabut.
