Chapter 210.
Acknowledging the sudden small phosphorescence, Winter held his breath. He moved the tip of his cane, from which the exponentially growing mass of light hung, hastily aside.
Clang!
The shot fired with Jane missed the side where Iben was, and the attacking magic was struck by the wall, causing a loud roar and vibration. But thanks to the reinforcement magic that had hung several layers on the building, it didn’t penetrate the wall.” Uh……!”
The office where the magic swept through was instantly reduced to rubble. Amidst the billowing smoke, an unharmed woman and a child wearing a lion mask were revealed.” I’d say I must be weaving pretty tightly.”
Iben giggled. Winter’s face scrunched up in pain.” Lavon!”
The child Winter cherished. But Lavon’s eyes in the slits of the lion’s mask blurred and the focus vanished.
“When the hell did …… that happen!”
“It was supposed to be the day that you, with roan as bait, were supposed to become my true handmaiden …… You think you let the bait go, don’t you?”
She flashed a smile.” Certainly easier to knead a young wizard’s brain than an adult wizard. It only takes a short time to plant the seeds of petty misfortune.”
“…… Ah, in that case, that was also because of what happened in Penelope’s year? But the plans made at the beginning all fell through, so it was useless. Thought it was the discarded cards …… that were lucky.”
Laughing vilely, Iben pointed a finger at Winter.” roan, go and bring me what your master has hidden so tightly.”
“Raan! Buck up!”
Wynter gazed eagerly at the lion mask and shook his head, eagerly memorizing the fainting spell.” Espara ……!”
“You had better not do it, gentle Winter Belldandy.” But before the spell could be recited, the words to stop it returned.
“I’m rummaging around in Raan’s brain before I go to the safe house where I took the baby and Emily.”
“Bah, you ……”
Winter stared at Ebon with shaky eyes. For a brief moment, a myriad of worries swept over him. I didn’t realize the snow demon Ni-Rahn had done it. I checked roan a few times after I returned from Sokrail, but there was no sign of brainwashing influence.” Put the staff down.”
“Be a good boy and carve it for me and the children won’t touch it, Marquis. And I don’t want to hurt the children.” The sculpture or the children’s lives.
Making the answer was easy. The cane that stood erect toward Ibn slowly made its way down. At that moment, Ibn murmured.” Dah-tee-mon.”
With that, the black transparent ajirangs jumped up from the floor.” Whew!”
The dull noise of “Boom” that didn’t have time to tie their limbs to them brought them to their knees on the floor.
“Don’t move. It seems to hurt inside to see the Marquis’ limbs severed.” Iben whispered the dreaded words in a bright voice, humming as he sat on the couch in better shape.
Rahn easily found the secret door hidden in the wall and opened it. The owner of the space was dead in the water, and there was nothing to stop Aey from going without a care in the world.
After a moment, Rahne stepped gingerly out of the wall with an uprooted flower in his hand.
“Too hard.”
Iben, who had handed it to him, let out a brief sigh of appreciation as he grabbed the end of the flower and shook it. The roots of the uprooted purple rose wrapped around it as if trying desperately to hide the shards of mirror it had received from Penelope.
Slumping to the ground and looking up at such an example, Bot gritted his teeth.” Offer me the pink rose. Anyway, human man.”
Looking unfunny with his tongue sticking out Iben ripped off the shards without hesitation. Wood got″. The badly rooted rose quickly faded and withered.
Iben snapped it in front of Winter like garbage. Then put his thumb and forefinger in his mouth and said, “Whew!” Whistling vigorously. How many call “Wah long barn!” Breaking the window, a huge new demonic creature broke in.” Sullen!”
“roan, you take that magic horse to the safe house.”
Pointing at the roughly flapping winged fiend, Iben ordered. Winter’s eyes widened.” A date, isn’t a date the same!” “A date? Haha, expect Leila to have plenty.” “Fuck! Lavon! Stop! Pull ……! Bah!”
Deceived. Looking at roan sitting on the Tomb Raider, barter cried out eagerly. But how much in the immense pain of digging in his joints, he could only groan.” roan, please ……” “Muffled!”
The child-carrying fiend couldn’t wait to fly through the window. Despair and frustration stood draped across his face.
“Why …… why did you do that! You handed over the piece if you wanted it!” Winters twisted face screamed miserably. Sitting on the couch fiddling with the pieces of the mirror she stood up.” It’s just, it’s funny.”
She knelt down and lifted his chin with her fingers to his eyes.” Kind face twisted with guilt.”
“…… You’re crazy.”
“Maybe.”
Eben nodded easily at the words Winter spat out shakily.
She’d survived the brutal massacre of her kind on her own. And, might as well have died then, holding her breath through it all. And then, finally, returning to the past before completing her revenge.
“It was also fun to see the slaughter of the remaining wizards with your hands in a state of insanity ……”
“Watching helplessly the destruction of that world you risked your life to protect and looking down at your crazed face seems like fun too.”
“You’re going to regret this.”
Wynter stared at her with creepy eyes and spat it out like he was chewing it up. It was a strange look that she hadn’t seen in the past. She suddenly felt like she didn’t know.
Was all of this really about revenge against her own kind? Or was it hatred for the humans who no longer loved her.
“Take a good look at how my dear Penelope died at my hands, Marquis.”
“Then that is the end of it.”
Patting the hand that lifted his chin, he took the shard and prepared to rise from his seat.
All of a sudden, the wilted petals spreading randomly around them stalked a small fire.
“What? ……”
Iben looked at it blankly for a split second.
Clang!
An explosion occurred. At the same time, Iben bounced backwards as if he was thrown out.
Coop!
The building collapsed instantly. Bear flames and ashes were all that remained ……
It’s so tragic that the original form can’t even be found.
But it was also quiet around the huge explosion. It was as if there was no explosion outside, no sound of explosions, and no one to see or hear.
For a while there was silence all around, except for the sound of sparks shooting out. But then, at one point, with a “rumbling” noise, the remains of the collapsed building moved.
Clang!
Parts of the piled-up wreckage flew roughly to the other side.
“Ho, ho ………”
Crawling out from between the drilled holes was the gruesome skull of a woman with one side of her face melted.
“Shit, Winter Belldandy!”
Hobbling along, Iben slowly groped for his body. Not only was it tattered and torn, but the chunks of flesh with exposed bone in between were burning black. It was a horrifying mouthful of humanity that simply could not survive.
In the chaos of his body, Iben, who had diverted his eyes, blinked and scanned his surroundings carefully. The two servants who had eaten the two servants felt colorless and were doing their best to revive their reserves of power. Immediately tearing and killing didn’t hurt either, but first it had to be eaten.
“Ha, ha …… spare your life!”
But there was no Seeker in sight, and the grim human met eyes. The face was familiar. It was a sorcerer employed by the Duke.
“Ha! Fox-like old man, sticking it to the rat-boys!”
Because it was so easy to shake off the coachman, she didn’t expect another trail to be attached. As if hiding outside the building and waiting for her, the sorcerer trembled in fear. Perhaps rightfully so.
It wasn’t enough that the building Miss Moxie went into suddenly collapsed, but despite the huge explosion that was invisible to the ordinary eye, she survived the ugly rubble and came towards me.
“Come, wizard.”
The horrible skull woman slowly walked out of the building. What was left of the half-zoomed, lovely pink hair was curled with flowers.
“Ha, ha!”
Wizard shook his head and took a few steps back. But didn’t actually dare even move. Iben turned the power of regenerating his body to brainwashing.
“Oh God ……”
People always looked for God when death was fast approaching. Iben thought that one was ridiculous. Where was God in an empire near at hand?
“From now on, I am your god.”
Dark red melted lips arced coldly from the oily man’s eyes.
***
It was close to midnight when they reached the Duke’s house. Luckily, probably from pulling the empty magical vehicle around the cockroaches outside the capital city and then getting him back on time, all the lights in the mansion were out. Reaching a fair distance from the front door, she slowly killed her feet and headed for the porch. Just past the garden.
“You’re late.”
Suddenly she felt movement in front of her.
“Um, who ……?”
Panicked, Ibenna stopped in her tracks and asked in alarm. The man standing in the shadows in front of the entranceway slowly walked out. The moonlight revealed his face.
“Duke?”
Eben gasped, calling out Duke Eckhardt. Suddenly, he jerked his hand up. Like a signal not to come any closer, Ebon’s eyes widened and he cocked his head. But it was an illusion. The Higgs boson slanted. The Duke held up his hand as the terrible man slowly revealed his body in the garden and began to approach.
One, two lights began to come on. There was no time to get out of the way, and the knights wrapped around the place were armed with swords.
“, What’s all this …… about?”
Looking around, Ibn turned his face to the Duke in horror. Not only the Duke, but Derrick, who stood next to him, and even Leonard were staring at themselves with icy eyes.
Her eyes bobbed weakly.
