Chapter 85 – Little Water Drop

“Cough!”

“Oh my…. I don’t know anything else, but I will acknowledge your courage. Even if it’s just for the sake of cruelty.”

The man twisted his sword and pulled it out. The sensation of bones and muscles being crushed and crushed near the shoulder area, along with the sharp sound of something tough breaking, pierce the eardrums. A dull pain exploded in his chest and stomach, and my body floated away and rolled around on the dirt floor.

“……… Cough!”

A numb and tingling sensation preceded the pain. It is only after spitting out the blood stuck in my throat that I can breathe.

“Ah… Eugene… ? ………………………… Why, why… Knife… blood… Blood… Pina… this… “

Undine, who has not yet grasped the situation, approaches with her blank eyes.

The blood welled up from her shoulder where her blade passed, soaking her white dress in a mess.

“Go back, go.”

“Hmm… Ugh…… What should I do… I have to stop the bleeding… Because of me, because of me… Sorry… this… “

“Quick!”

The sound of footsteps. Jet black shadows stretch with long shadows. The sharp sword blade cuts through the air. Over Undine’s shoulder. The sword shines.

It is too late to cast magic. Even if I inject raw magical power, it only tickles at my level.

No. Can not be done. I can’t stop this. I wanted to move my body, but I had no strength at all. I bite my lip and find a way. The moment the sword fell seemed like an eternity, and even though I was possessed by the urge to close my eyes, I desperately searched for a way out.

The exact moment when the blade fell helplessly onto Undine’s bedside.

“Get out!!!!!!!!!”

A familiar voice.

Seven rays of flash cover him and reflect scatteredly. In that brief moment, the man changed the trajectory of the holy sword and struck away the beam of light.

Someone is blocking Undine’s path. Dazzling golden light pours down.

Her aunt, noticing the commotion, ran out of her cabin and blocked our way. Five demons are already unfolding around her simultaneously.

The aunt began to shout fiercely at the man with an expression she had never seen before.

“You! “What are you doing?!”

“Oh my, I never thought the princess would still be here….”

“Shut up and answer! Do you even know where this is? The Fifth Holy Sword! “Get back now!”

But the man cast a hinting glance toward the cabin.

“Why are you so angry? If you came here to see the inside, shouldn’t you cooperate with me instead? “As the princess of the empire.”

“The princess… ?”

“Oh my, isn’t this the princess I know? Huh, who would dare think that the imperial family of the empire would hang out with blood relatives?”

“You knew I was here… And yet you did this?!”

“……… Well.”

“Answer me right away! Are you really… You… “Are you saying you did it?”

“Yes, I killed him. “Do I need an explanation?”

“……… ….”

“I heard that she was a blood relative who reached the top of the Magic Tower, but I guess she couldn’t use her magic while pregnant, so I was able to kill her easily. It was also stupid. If you had attacked me, even if it meant killing the unborn child, you would have had a chance of winning. “After living in the snowy plains and crawling into the empire, I guess my judgment became slower.”

“………… Shut up.”

“I thought it would be a little more violent… “I was looking forward to it because they said I could fight against strong blood relatives, but it’s a shame.”

“… Shut up. Shut up shut up!!!! Do not be ridiculous! And yet he is a hero… ?! Do you know what you’re doing?! Even if you kill someone, you think the five-star sword you are holding will recognize you?! “Close that mouth before it rips!”

“People? Kill someone? Who? I? Ha ha ha ha ha… ! Rather, I would like to ask. “Did I kill someone?”

“What…… “

“What I harmed was a ‘blood relative’ who infiltrated the empire. And the little kids rolling around over there are also larvae of blood relatives who have inherited the blood of blood relatives. Blood relatives are bugs. Perhaps even more unhelpful trash. As a warrior, you have to deal with the trash growing in the snowy fields. “What’s the problem?”

He stared at us with cold eyes and continued speaking.

“Rather, I would like to ask Neferna, the hero of the Second Holy Sword, directly. Did you think you could hide the fact that you had an affair with a blood relative in a mountainous area like this? It’s disgusting. “It would be better to have s*x with an animal.”

“Right now… That said… “

“Also, there is no reason for the Holy Sword to be angry at me. Because I killed my blood relative. The meaning of the holy sword is the meaning of the goddess.”

My aunt barely managed to control her trembling voice and opened her mouth.

“Whose order is this?” … Say it right. Where did you hear that Neferna was married and that the other person was a blood relative? “You wouldn’t have done this on your own.”

“Oh my. “I thought I lost interest in politics because I was busy chasing after warriors in the snowy fields, but it seems like I’m living my life with my head turned.”

“I am among my brothers. Who is this! Answer me now! Or I will kill you!”

“Kill me…” . That’s difficult. No matter how much I am, it is difficult to easily gain the upper hand against the Iron-Blooded Princess who has been rolling around in the snowy fields for several years. It’s a pity that I couldn’t kill those larvae, but I guess I’ll have to call it a day. “Be scared, be scared~”

“Stand there! “I think I’ll miss you if you run away!”

“You foolish princess. “Look behind you.”

Only then did my aunt look back to where Undine and I were.

Undine was pressing down on my shoulder, crying her tears. She may have tried to stop the bleeding, but she was too weak to do anything.

“The blood… Blood… Don’t stop… What should I do… “

“Eugene! “It’s an undine!”

“……… ….”

“Are you okay, Eugene? Can you hear my aunt? Wake!”

The aunt immediately casts her magic. Spirit magic, fire healing.

Even as her flesh grew and her gum wounds filled in, she was busy muttering to herself with a nervous expression.

“What should I do…?” What do we do… Calm down, Charles. Calm down. Hwangseong is not allowed. I don’t know where Neferna is either. First of all, yes. To the DC family…. Yes, you have to go there. “Let’s go to the Disizu family.”

Her face immediately distorted as she cast teleportation.

“Damn it! “There is a lock on the space-time coordinates around the DC family mansion!”

“Well, well, I know that! Dad told me to do this…… “

Undine wiped away her tears and began to draw a mark on her floor. The aunt glanced at her drink with a nervous look on her face and clicked her tongue briefly.

“… It looks like there is a password on the coordinates themselves. It won’t work. There is not enough time to interpret. Undine. Can you cast teleport yourself and go with Eugene?”

“Two… Two people have never tried teleporting… “

Undine muttered in a dejected voice, as if she was not confident.

I held my aunt’s wrist and asked.

“…… Mom is.”

“……… ….”

“Mom. “Is it in there?”

“Eugene.”

The answer was enough as I had nowhere to go. It was a moment when I became convinced of something I had hoped would happen. Yes, indeed. It felt like something important had been cut off inside me. The area around my stomach and chest feels stuffy, and my stomach hurts to the point where I want to vomit at any moment. My mind became dizzy and the pain that felt like it was burning just moments ago was forgotten. My head was so cold that it was difficult to breathe.

If my mother were here now, what would she have done? I gritted my teeth and pulled it out.

“Auntie, run away…” “You have to hit it.”

“What?”

“I can hear people around me. “There are people.”

I feel an unfamiliar presence among the bushes. The sound of leaves and wind scattering is strangely different. As I looked back, I saw something rustling and shaking.

“Eugene, Undine. “Can you stand?”

My aunt looked at me with a nervous expression as I stumbled. She spoke in a whisper so that those around her could not hear.

“My aunt will take care of it. In the meantime, can you climb up to that peak? Don’t turn your head. I’ll get caught. Aunt behind her shoulder. Second from the right. Sorry. You can’t use teleportation without coordinates. “You have to go up there yourself.”

“I can go. “What about your aunt?”

Enter it into your head mechanically. There was no time to think.

“Aunt, I will go to that peak to find someone who can help me after beating those bastards. Just hold on for a few days. Sorry. I’m really sorry. I’ll be right back. Promise.”

“No. Don’t worry. “With magic, I can survive in just a few days.”

***

Run.

The explosion magic and smoke magic that my aunt fired were her first signals. She just ran, holding Undine’s hand, hidden among the heavy drinking and smoke.

Slippery rocks and frost-covered weeds. The dirt floor was slowly freezing, and even if you fell and got scratched, your skin would often get scratched. It was fortunate that he was able to protect his body temperature in the extreme cold with basic magic, but the problem lay elsewhere.

Someone is chasing us. That too, very close. With hostility.

What happened to my aunt? I start to worry.

“Ha… ha…… “

I felt that my physical strength had reached its limit. The trauma to her shoulder had been healed with magic, but the phantom pain was still creeping up the back of her neck.

If she were alone, she might be able to hold her breath and hold on. She learned from her father how to survive to some extent on magical power alone, without water or food. But there was Undine by my side.

“Undine.”

“Huh? Where… it hurts? It’s hard?”

“No. That magic from earlier. Teleporting to your house. “Can you try it now?”

Surprised, Undine opened his eyes wide. She was quick to notice and closed her eyes tightly.

“I won’t go alone!”

“I don’t watch it alone. I will go with you too. “I want to live, too.”

“But… I am… I can’t…. Yet. Study less… Two people can’t stand together…. Ugh… If I had known this would happen, I would have studied according to my mom and dad… “

“…… Don’t cry. You are doing well enough. That’s great too. You’re younger than me. I still can’t use space-time magic. You’ll do much better than me. Now and later…. Now, calm down and let’s cast it.”

“I, I can’t do it…” “

“I will help you. You just need to modify the technique a little while casting. You can just cast as you normally would. “Focus, Undine.”

“Really?” Undine asked with tearful eyes, “Yes, really.” He reassured me. Only then did Undine swallow her tears, sniffle her nose, and begin to draw the margin.

“Okay. Good job.”

“Well, it’s the same as when I go alone… ? “

“No. It looks like it, but I can change the technique a little along the way.”

“Eugene… I hear footsteps behind me. “Looks like he’s coming towards us.”

“I know. Don’t mind. We’re going to run away. Just think about magic. Slowly. Complete the casting and pour in the magic.”

“That’s enough.”

“……… ….”

“Eugene… ?”

“I’m sorry.”

“…… Uh?”

“This was the only way.”

“Wait a minute… Uh, this… How do you stop it? Sis, I hate it… lie! Am I going this alone? No! Liar! Liar! They said they would go together! No! Eugene… no… This isn’t it. Quickly… “

“Tell your mom and dad that they must never come. The imperial family was involved. A barrier has already been set up across the mountain range to detect blood relatives. It will hit here too soon. Since I’m mixed race, I can endure it for a while, but when pure blood relatives come, things get worse. “If I tell you that you should never come, you will understand.”

“… No! No! No! Don’t do it! Please! Ah ah ah ah ah! Behind! Behind! Look behind you! Dangerous!”

If I could have gone along with changing the magic technique a bit, my aunt, who is now a genius in magic, would have already tried it.

I’m sorry I fooled Undine, but this was really the only way.

I bit my lip hard as I left the undine scattering into foam.

“Seup…… “

I pull out the old iron sword tied to my waist. I was already feeling the signs. The moment he turned around, he took a low stance and disturbed the opponent’s balance. As long as the sword slips, victory is won.

“Huh… Oh my… !”

I had the illusion that my fingertips were connected to the sword body. The sensation of piercing a person’s throat is vividly conveyed. When I pulled out the sword, the blood welling up through my carotid artery sprayed out in all directions.

“Ha… ha… “

I slipped, leaned my back against the tree, and wiped off the cold sweat.

There was no time to get lost in the obvious sentiments of killing someone. He covered the corpse with his cold eyes and then looked away.

To the peak. I have to go there.
