109. “Because I will protect you.” (Review edited)

109.

-Huh ㅇㅇㅇㅇ – !

A ball of fire that seemed to consume the entire space raced through the air. The heat was so blazing that the haze danced madly, as if the flying trajectory was melting.

[Br] … !!

The fireball, which seemed to stop only after burning itself, suddenly twisted its trajectory and crashed into one of the brightly shining golden colonnades. Acrid smoke rose from the place where the trajectory was rapidly reversed and the place where the fireball was embedded. Through the smoke, Partizan’s blue blade appeared.

Zerpied Lim Sedbaigal gritted his teeth as if he was grinding his teeth, glaring at the ball of fire preparing to fly again. The reason why it was described as preparing was because the fireball was being created in the hands of a man, Bazarak. Zerpied looked at it for a moment, then glanced at the place where the fireball was buried.

There was not a single scratch on the golden pillar. Aside from the scratches, there was not even a slight trace of the outer surface melting. Zerfied was now able to draw conclusions.

‘As expected, this is an imaginary space created by Leternia.’

I don’t know exactly how far it was, but I thought most of this space was composed of virtual images of Leternia. At that time, the imaginary Bazarak threw a fireball from his hand made of flame.

-Huh uh uh uh…… !

Once again, it sped through the air, spewing haze as if a fireball was melting space. At that moment, the ball of fire that soared upward stopped running. Zerfied, who blinked at the scene for a few seconds in a sensitive situation, swears inwardly and turned his back.

-Whoaaah – !

The fireball split into hundreds of pieces and rained down on the floor. Feeling the fire pouring down on the cloak, Zerfied bit his teeth tightly. He didn’t feel any pain because he wasn’t already alive, but a grotesque sensation flowed through him, perhaps because he belonged to the same chaotic realm of the undead and demons.

At least in a sense that could never be said to be good, the Death Knight glanced down at her and saw Esilia in his arms. The saintess of her innocence was completely buried in him and her body trembled.

“…… Ecilia, are you okay?”

The saintess of innocence did not say anything. She just sobbed, rubbing her body against her face.

‘…… Damn it.’

Death Knight bit his lip. If he was alive, his blood would come out. He had been doing something strange since before. No matter how shocking it was that he hid the truth, he couldn’t show such a violent reaction.

Looking at Celia’s condition now, it was as if she had seen the world perish in front of her eyes. It’s to the point where it looks like she’s trying to make her faint herself by closing her eyes tightly. Deities that move alive and use the power of God. A physically folded space, Ecilia who closes her eyes tightly and has seizures.

Putting all of this together, it was clear that Leternia had done something. Zer Pied glared at Leternia, who was looking down at him from the top of her steps, her eyelight dripping from her eyes like blood. But she didn’t last long. It was because Bazarak flicked his blazing tongue again, preparing to throw scattering fireballs.

This time, Bazarak threw as many as five fireballs at the same time.

-Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr … !

“Keuuugh…… !”

With his back being hit by a rain of flames pouring down like a heavy rain, it was hard for Zerpied to hide his desire to take out his kite shield. Because of the pouring rain of flames, I couldn’t even dream of approaching the statue of Bazarak. With a kite shield, it would be easier to counterattack while blocking attacks.

Thinking of that, Zerpied glanced at Ecilia. To pull out and use her kite shield, she had to put Esilia down in a safe place. Because he didn’t have three arms. However, she couldn’t put it down because the saintess was trembling like this. If she made a mistake and the saintess got caught up in a battle, it would be a big deal for her.

In that case, the only way left was to approach Leternia directly and unleash some of this effect on Esilia. To do so, they had to defeat the statues of gods occupying the stairway. And in order to defeat the first gateway, Bazarak, a kite shield was needed.

…… The problem is back to square one. It was a real contradiction.

To approach Leternia, you need a kite shield. However, the kite shield could not be used until Ecilia was doing this. In order to unravel Ecilia’s condition, you must approach and neutralize Leternia. And you need a kite shield to fight Bazaarak, the first gatekeeper to stop it…….

In this unavoidable situation, the Death Knight swallowed his saliva and roared his lady’s name violently.

“Ecilia ─── !”

Celia blinked her eyes once at the innocence of the saintess at the distant sound. She suddenly heard a voice questioning the behavior of looking elsewhere.

“Why?”

“Ah…… , I think I just heard something.”

“It must be the sound of the wind, don’t pay too much attention to it.”

Eccilia nodded slowly at the answer in her voice. The saintess turned her head again and looked at the owner of her voice. Leternia looked at her saintess and smiled softly.

“Where were you doing that?”

“The story of Zerfied’s beating heart.”

As if Celia understood, she nodded her head slowly. Leternia placed her hand on her saintess’ shoulder, again pointing at her point with her index finger.

-Hooooo…… !

I grabbed the platinum hair of the saintess of sharp winds of Ethelbeyer and made her feel proud again and again. That is to say, she is the saintess of Escelia that she sees before her eyes, that is, her self. Leternia looked at it with interest.

“Is that what you looked like when you first met Zerpied?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes… ….”

“I see, when did you sign the contract?”

“After meeting the knight at Mount Ethel Bayer, she signed a contract in the cave… ….”

“Will you show me?”

Cilia nodded her head. She slowly walked towards herself in front of her eyes. The closer she got to herself, the more she saw herself about to awaken her Death Knight, who was sleeping in a vertical burrow before her eyes. As the saintess stretched her feet out into the scene, her figure was broken.

Fragments fell in abundance. At the sudden situation, Eccilia only blinked her eyes, but she didn’t take any action. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Leternia, who was standing next to her own. Leternia smiled softly.

“Don’t worry. Child.”

Leternia carefully stroked her saintess’ long platinum chestnut. At the laughter of the woman next to her, the saintess of innocence smiled slightly without realizing it.

-Churrure…… !

At the sudden sound, Ecelia turned her head in a daze. The fragments of the broken scene were being put back together one by one. The scene that was set in that way was the cave of Mount Ethelbeyer. It was the scene where she and her knight made a contract. Ecilia raised her head again and looked at her woman. The woman was still smiling softly. The saintess raised the corner of her mouth a little louder at that smile.

As she said, there was no need to worry.

“I want to see over there.”

At her woman’s end, Ecilia looked where she was pointing. In the cave, she had a contract with the saint herself and Zer Pied.

“Do you remember, kid?”

Cilia nodded her head slowly.

“ …… I, Jerpied Lim Sedvaigal, express my feelings,

I will become Saint Ecilia’s escort knight, and I will ensure her safety first,

I swear by the frozen heart, the bloody banner, and the death knight’s law. ”

Esilia blinked slowly. The day she and Death Knight signed a contract. She couldn’t forget

“Yes… …. My escort driver…. To ensure her safety…….”

“I did. By the way, kid.”

The woman’s soft voice fell over the saintess’s head. At the same time, her long arms embraced her saintess. The saintess, who had taken the form of being hugged by a woman, blinked her eyes and heard the voice flowing over her head.

“What if the premise of the contract is wrong?”
