Chapter 226.

The sea of fire that erupted from the monster’s mouth, burning up the entire palace, approached at an alarming speed. Searing heat was felt on his back, and his skin felt like it was burning. Rightfully so, there was no escape.

Water! Water! Ice magic!

I eagerly looked at the mirror wand I was holding. But it was too late to shout out whatever magic spell came to mind on it.

The huge flames that followed close behind opened their mouths and grabbed us, devouring us before.

“Penelope!”

Callisto pulled me roughly. The same time my nose hit the hard armor. Clang-! The flames swooped down on us.

I closed my eyes and screamed out of breath. But it was strange. There was no immediately felt heat or pain.

I carefully opened my eyes. I saw Callisto, wrapping me as tightly as he could in his cloak, his eyes closed just as tightly as mine had been moments before.

Clang-! Behind him, the flames split in half, spreading to either side of us. It was like the miracle of Moses. What’s going on?

“Why did the flames split in half ……”

In my eyes, which were confusedly looking around, I suddenly saw something glowing and floating in the air.

When the hell was that…!

It was the wilted rose with Winters in my pocket. I just remembered.

In a moment of crisis, only one defense magic will be triggered. There’s the initiation phrase. That’s …… you screaming.

The defense magic Winter had arranged for me shortly after I ran away from home, just in case. Before I could even think of it, it heard my scream and stepped in to activate.

It was an unusual mood to look at the straight stems of the flowers in the face of the ever-spewing flames. The flower that bloomed magnificently as soon as it touched my hand, and then immediately sprinkled with purple petals wilted. Skeptical love, way too indeed.

“Your Highness, open your eyes.”

I also sullenly awakened the Crown Prince who was holding me. Then his eyelids twitched, revealing bright red eyes.

“What, reunited in the underworld already?”

“Unfortunately, it’s not dead yet.”

Hearing my words, the Crown Prince looked around with a trance-like expression. Like the Red Sea, it was overflowing from the feet of the searing flaming teeth, but it didn’t feel hot in the slightest.

“What’s wrong?”

“There.”

At his confused question, I pointed to the flower in the air. Though it looked really slim to withstand the violent flaming bullets, the transparent film that erupted from the rose protected us perfectly.

“That’s the defense magic we were talking about earlier.”

“…… is the defense magic that Winter gave me.” Answering hesitantly, Callisto’s eyes left a deep impression.

“Tsk tsk, and received necklaces …… my gifts every time I threw away the ones I didn’t need, and received a lot more of those from that guy, huh?”

With his voice that seemed dissatisfied, the flames finally died down. The dragon stopped spewing fire like crazy. At the same time, the roses floating in mid-air turned into powder and disappeared.

A storm raging in the palace was dark and disorganized.

“Clang! Clunk!”

Probably spewing fire with still a lot of force, the dragon’s huge body jostled and flew around. Some new black contamination spread everywhere like it had swallowed brilliant golden scales. Oooooo-clunk!

The pillar the flying dragon’s front foot struck snapped like a wooden chopstick and the side of the ceiling collapsed with a loud bang. I frantically looked for Iben in the middle of that chaos.

“Iben!”

At that moment, against that distant, pitch-black background, pink suddenly flashed. Holding the mirror that emitted blue light, Iben quickly slipped through the gap in the collapsed wall.

“Where did that one escape to? Dead girl ……!”

I immediately raised the mirror wand and tried to chase after Iben.

“Gong girl!”

But was stopped by a force that grabbed me.” Danger. Because of that crazy dragon’s big head, the Miyako will completely collapse!”

At that moment. The dragon flying on its back suddenly spread its wings. Shortly afterward a fierce wind blew.
“Whew!”
As Callisto grabbed me, there was a loud roar and the dragon broke through the ceiling and flew away. The building that was barely holding up began to collapse like a sand castle.
“Crazy…!”
“Let’s get out of here first!”
The Crown Prince and I panicked and ran away. Luckily, opening the door of the still good Sun Palace, we rolled in from the outside, and at the same time, the pillars behind us collapsed, blocking the entrance. What a frighteningly close call.
“Oh ……”
The Crown Prince and I are pale and face to face, gasping for air. How tense, the hand he grabbed cold and sweaty.
“…… It really seems like I go through everything with you. Doesn’t it?” Suddenly Callisto lets out a laugh and waves his hand. Making fun of the tone, I stuck out my mouth and asked in a raw voice.
“So, you don’t like it?”
“How could I. Life’s gotten really interesting.”
He fake-talked back. That’s when the breathing slowly calmed and the outside came into view. Clang-! Under the Sun Palace, in the vast Emperor’s Garden, the bloody battle between the Imperial Army and the rebels was in full swing.
Shoo. Suddenly, a pitch-black shadow swept over from up there. Even the soldiers in the middle of the battle, causing the soldiers to stop swinging their swords, the figure was huge.
Roar! Flying in the sky, the golden dragon roared. That ominous look, as if it was measuring when it would come down again, I hurriedly checked around the palace.
“Where is Ibn ……”
“Over there.”
Even in the dim sunlight, Callisto could find pink hair. Ibn walked calmly in the middle of a murderous warren of knives and guns going off. It was over by the spires a little farther from the Sun Palace.
“Come on!”
Callisto and I immediately descended the stairs.
“Be careful, male daughter.”
“Die, Crown Prince!”
He held onto me with one hand and easily fought off a few rebels who recognized him and pounced on him, fighting their way through. It wasn’t just the rebels who recognized him.
“Your Highness? You’re alive! Your Highness, please bless His Royal Highness!”
One of the knights fighting with a sword wielded looked on in disbelief the moment he approached.
“Cough!”
The knight right in front suddenly collapsed with a spray of blood.
Behind him.
“…… Master.”
The man holding a bloody sword appeared.
“What, that guy.”
The man standing in front of us stopped the crown prince in his tracks.
“…… Ikris.”
He silently wiped the blood on his cheek with the hand holding the sword, then stared at me. Eyes as empty as the first time we met at the slave auction house. A waxen, inorganic expression, he spoke.
“I ran like a madman to the Queen’s Court.”
“Because I was worried that a sudden attack would be dangerous, I wanted my master to leave the palace. ……”
“Because it’s dangerous, so please stay safely in the Queen’s Palace …… No, take my word for it, so hard?”
The dark guy’s eyes surveyed me fondly, fixing on a certain place. It was the hand held with the Crown Prince.
“…… If you stay …… I’ll do it, I’ll kill Ibn and take the Duke …… or the Empire … …”
Muttering like he was talking to himself Ikris’ expressionless face began to distort little by little.
“But why did you grab that little guy’s hand again.”
“What is that guy talking about?” Callisto muttered in annoyance.
“Your Highness.”
I pointed my Mirror Magic Wand at him, blocking his way to cut down Ikris immediately.
“I thought our story was all over.”
“…… Master.”
“Last chance. Get out of the way, there’s no time for this with you.” My cold words and gray eyes wavered weakly.
“Is he with that man?” He gritted his teeth in a very small voice.

At the same time, there was a flash overhead. As if looking for me, the dragon languidly circled the sky, howling.
“No way.”
There’s no time to deal with Ikris. Without realizing it, I looked at nearly half of my blackened body with troubled eyes and suddenly shouted.
“SUN THE PRIROOM!”
Clang! Suddenly, a bolt from the blue. It won’t be struck by lightning and die. The first time I attacked Rilla Believer, I just fainted and didn’t die. Please, just pass out.
Unable to bear to look back at Ikris, who was struck by lightning, he panicked and led Callisto.
“Let’s go, your highness!”
But I wasn’t expecting that.
“…… I told you, Penelope.”
The hero of the game was hit directly by the lightning and was also intact in appearance. Ikris spoke in the strange mold of his body smoking.
“I’ll kill that bird, and your shell.” A short while later, he grabbed a knife and ran over.
