The sight of the tendons on the back of Cedric’s hand appearing as if in slow motion. At the same time, a scene passed through my mind.
‘Celia. The one who spread rumors about you to the Academy… … I just wanted you to be friends with me and not hang out with other people. So don’t abandon me. huh?’
‘why? Cedric. ‘Do you want your friend to be unhappy?’
‘… … That way you won’t leave me. And only then can you see that he has appeared up close.’
‘… … Crazy guy. What is he saying now?’
Since he was wearing the academy uniform, he must have been attending the academy with him in the past.
Memories suddenly came to mind along with the scene that passed by. Cedric has been spreading all the negative rumors about Celia so far, and Celia, who found out about it at her academy, announced to Cedric that she would break off her relationship.
From then on, it seemed like she stayed away from him, stayed in the mansion, and walked the path of farming.
And the reason Cedric did that at that time was because Celia was already Ruben’s guide… … Soon, it was said that she knew that she was Ruben’s mother.
‘How on earth… … ?’
Questions naturally came to mind, but now was not the time to be carefree and reminisce about the past.
I suddenly came to my senses when I felt a sharp touch on the back of my neck. What are you doing, me?
I gave both hands as much strength as I could. Hidden muscles bulged on his iron forearms. And then he easily pushed Cedric’s hand away.
widely!
Cheer up!
The dagger flew off Cedric’s wrist and rolled on the floor.
“Hmm, how did you avoid being manipulated… … ?”
Cedric staggered in a devastated voice. I pushed him away from me.
I glanced at the shadow, but Moroccanil was still quiet.
‘He said he would definitely protect me. ‘What happened?’
Thinking about Moroccanil’s solemn words, it seemed like something had happened. She can’t help it if no one comes to save me. She has no choice but to survive on her own.
I bit my lip and glared at Cedric.
He seemed shocked and dazed for a moment, then suddenly stood up and suddenly shouted.
“Hold this woman!”
The voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the square. I knew without asking who ‘this woman’ Cedric was talking about was.
Those who were kneeling around us began to stagger to their feet like zombies.
‘Isn’t this a bit too much…? … ?’
Even though I have iron arms strong enough to easily blow away a grown man. I have no choice but to fall behind in terms of page count!
“Celia. Come here. “Just be gentle and let me catch you.”
At that time, thin fingers slithered between my arms, like a snake coiling around its prey. It was Miya’s hand.
“I’m sorry, but that might be a bit difficult. “Miya.”
He muttered softly and quickly pulled her hand away. She then started running blindly towards where the exit was. At the same time, everyone who was approaching me started running at once.
“Ugh.”
Thanks to my body’s transcendental strength, I was somehow able to escape them, but at this rate, it was only a matter of time before I was caught.
“how… … when… … .”
When are you going to show up!
I shouted inwardly and jumped up, stepping on the man who was trying to stop me with his whole body. Five men ran after me to catch that day.
Ugh. If this continues, I’ll get caught!
It was too much to deal with five at once.
“damn. You idiot! “Where on earth are you?”
I cried out as if I was screaming as I fell helplessly by the man holding my ankle. He said that Moroccanil was coming with him as an escort, but strangely all he could think of now was Dazar.
And right then.
There was a cracking sound above my head, and then an arm suddenly appeared. Along with a very breathy voice.
“haha… … sorry. late. “Are you okay?”
“Da, Dazar!”
Was this person’s voice this sweet?
The body that was being dragged down by the ankle came to a shaky halt. It was right after Dazar’s hand touched my body. He seemed to have used some kind of divine power.
“Not only is it the fog you mentioned, but there is a barrier spread throughout this space. It took a while to break through. Morokanil probably hasn’t been able to come to his senses ever since he entered this space. “This barrier manipulates the mind.”
“uh… … “Really?”
I never thought there would be a barrier hanging over the entire space. No, but a barrier? What a barrier. Isn’t that something only transcendents can use?
I had a question mark in my eyes, but Dazar completely pulled himself out of the space as if he had no time for this. Then, suddenly, black men fell down.
“Ugh. My lord! What should I do if it suddenly comes out like that! Hey, you bastard. “Why don’t you get out of my way?”
“Ouch. Did you fall because someone wanted to fall on you? damn. What is this? These people’s eyes are rolling? Doesn’t this look like our captain Leon’s eyes?”
“oh! sister! You are here! We’re here, so don’t worry and get a good night’s sleep! Okay, I would sacrifice my life if I could eat just one delicious rice cake!”
“You coward! Sister, me too!”
I knew who it was without even having to check. It’s called Garaetteok Holic Black Mae.
“Is that guy the cult leader?”
At that time, I don’t know when he was summoned, but Dazar, who was on top of a floating sword, kicked the man holding my ankle and made him fall away. Then I glanced at the black hawks. They got down on the floor and were bickering, each claiming that the rice cake was theirs.
“Black Hawk.”
Dazar called to them quietly. Then, surprisingly, the playful mood of the black hawks suddenly changed. They all responded by bowing down towards Dazar.
“Yes, my lord.”
Dazar ordered with an indifferent expression, as if their change was natural.
“Capture that cult leader alive. “Let the rest sleep on their own.”
“Jonmyeong!”
The black hawk responded to the low command by placing its right hand near its heart. Then they all dispersed at the same time, as if they had decided on their own territory in advance. It looked like a black eagle flying quickly.
‘wow… … ‘This is a bit different.’
I’ve always encountered it only when I was crazy about rice cakes. no. Black Hawk was out of his mind from the moment we met. Anyway, this was the first time I had seen something like this since ‘The Day of the Crack’.
Especially when Dazar gives orders.
“Then I have to wake this guy up first.”
“yes?”
Dazar began walking towards me with long strides. Thank you for saving me. Why are you coming so close all of a sudden?
Dazar, who had come so close that he could smell his body, suddenly raised his foot and boom! He hit rock bottom.
I wondered what I was doing on the empty floor, but I soon realized it when I heard Morokanil’s groaning sound.
“Ugh… … .”
Dazar stepped on my shadow, that is, Moroccanil, who was hiding in the shadow.
“Did you sleep well?”
“how… … What is this… … .”
Moroccanil muttered in a panicked voice and slowly separated from the shadows. It’s an amazing sight even when you look at it a second time. Dazar’s forehead must have been where he stepped, and he was holding his forehead.
“I will explain later. It would be best to block this whole place first. Don’t let the guys here escape.”
Dazar kicked Moroccanil’s ass away and took a step toward me. No, if you keep coming closer like that, I think your noses will collide.
“W-what is it?”
“Well. “Let’s hold hands.”
“yes… … ?”
As I wondered what this meant, I saw Dazar’s hand reaching out towards me, I don’t know when. His straight, long fingers were pretty even in this chaotic situation.
“That guy is probably in no condition to be your escort right now. We held hands often, right? “I think so.”
“… … .”
Are you saying that you don’t want to waste time remembering ‘her’ here and now? Or, is he trying to comfort me, who has finally started to tremble?
“Quick, give me your hand.”
Dazar said and waved his hand slightly. I looked down at it and slowly stretched out my hand. It’s something I’ve been catching often lately, but I don’t know why it feels so unfamiliar.
I was just about to take his hand.
“My lord! The leader there… … !”
“Aaaah-!”
Along with a groaning noise that sounded like an animal howling, the sound of Leon shouting was heard. This was followed by an eerie sound.
Phew!
“Cough… … .”
I looked down blankly at the red liquid on the hem of my clothes.
