90. Who is that bitch?
My stomach is hot.
I felt a hot pain as if I was being supported by the pharynx.
‘If I pull this out, a lot of blood will come out…’
A rapier penetrated the abdomen.
It seems that the intestines are also injured in several places.
In a wound like this, removing the stuck thing is usually a shortcut to death, but that’s a normal story.
‘Are you stabbing me with an aura blade?’
The rapier that pierced my stomach was burning with a blue aura.
The flaming aura is constantly taking damage to wounds and internal organs, so sticking the sword in your stomach does more damage than taking it out.
Because it is the master’s body, it has high resistance and takes minimal damage, but if it were an ordinary person, it would have already died.
The blue aura burning from the rapier seemed to embody her anger.
“…!!”
But apart from the blazing aura, Casey’s hand holding the rapier was shaking like an aspen tree.
Although it was only for a moment right after the stabbing, his expression was visibly agitated.
As if she hadn’t really thought that she would be stabbed.
“Mister, why is this… Right..?”
“Do you mean stabbing?”
“I knew I was going to dodge it like usual…”
The one stabbed has a more absurd expression.
I’ve never been hit by Casey’s attack before, so I’m dumbfounded too.
“What are you doing..!!! What are you doing..!!!”
As soon as Lucia figured out her situation, she ran towards Casey.
Originally, I should have picked up a sword, but unfortunately, this time both Lucia and I came out to play, so we weren’t prepared.
She lunged recklessly at Casey, who raised her fist instead of her sword and held a rapier.
Casey didn’t even look at Lucia.
Casey’s trembling hands restored her composure.
“I have nothing to do with you.”
“Wow… My body… Won’t move?!”
As Casey raised his hand to Lucia, a magic circle unfolded and Lucia’s body floated in the air, then flew backwards and crashed through the wall of an old building.
It is his specialty, the telekinesis magic.
It was noticeable that he was thoroughly targeting only me, and that he adjusted his power.
I took advantage of that gap and pulled her body back.
Then the rapier stuck in his abdomen was pulled out.
-Patter
Bright red blood gushed from the hole and soaked the floor.
I wore expensive clothes at best, and they are torn, stained with blood, and very messy.
In an instant, I pointed out several blood vessels in my body.
“Ugh…”
My face naturally frowns at the pain as if my stomach is twisting.
But the effect was amazing.
There was no more bleeding from the wound that was bleeding like a bag with a hole.
Bleeding was suppressed by forcibly closing the wound.
The pain throbbed, as if my muscles and flesh had been clamped with metal clips, but it was better than death.
“Ah.. Bitter…”
“Have you become very dull to be stabbed by something like this…? I thought you had a very busy life again.”
If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been stabbed.
No, this is just an excuse.
Right now, the stabbing in my stomach made me feel more embarrassed than the pain.
Right now, even when I was recently attacked by the captain, it ended without any damage, but to receive effective damage from Casey, who was one level lower… I was very embarrassed.
I was shaken too much.
Kacey Keppel, the little boy I raised during my Knights Templar, glared at me with cold eyes, holding a rapier with a blazing aura.
Originally, I wasn’t a kid who laughed very well.
‘I would have been more comfortable with the other members…’
I heard from the captain that Casey was after me, but she never imagined we would be reunited here.
My stomach hurts a lot, but it’s not so bad that I can’t move.
Fortunately, Casey didn’t seem to want to keep attacking.
She said with a smile on her face.
“You should have contacted Casey and come. You were surprised.”
“…If it’s a joke, it’s not funny. What’s the point of saying that after being beaten by an opponent under Hansoo? Uncle is also out of date now.”
What came back was a cold response.
It was a reaction like an adolescent daughter hating her father in the midst of it.
“Since he abandoned the Knights and left, I wonder how great he did… Were you playing with a girl?”
“To throw it away means you’ve been away for a while.”
“Don’t lie to me anymore. I will never be fooled by you again…”
Casey bit her lip in anger.
She said it was good to fix her broken lips, but she still does it.
“.. What’s with that woman..?”
“A new friend.”
“Oh… I guess you like big women..”
“Because we’re friends”
Casey seems upset that I left the Order.
But it’s strange.
Obviously I jumped out of the knights.
When I came out, I obviously wrote letters, but one was written to the director and the other was written to Casey.
“I thought it was urgent… You left a letter too.”
“That crap?”
At the mention of her letter, Casey frowned even more.
I can’t remember what I wrote because I wrote it in a hurry, but it’s trash!
“Trash…”
“Aren’t you talking about the burning trash that you quietly listened to and wrote a lie that you would come back after sleeping for 100 nights? I burned it after the 200th night.”
‘That’s how I wrote it back then.’
I remembered when I heard it.
I remembered that I had written that in the letter because I had heard that there was a clue to the leap of growth in the snow country and made a plan to break through the snow country and return within two months.
“It’s been about 3 years, so it’s been over 1000 nights… Any more excuses?”
“That part… I don’t have anything to say. I’m sorry… It’s late.”
I’m really sorry, I had nothing to say.
The snow country, which I tried to break through in two months, was a difficult place to break through without a team even if I knew the strategy, and I blew up three years to create a reliable team.
‘Have you waited for more than two years… I deserved to be angry. ‘
It’s normal to be angry because you said you’d be back in 3 months and blew away 3 years without saying anything.
I could have sent a letter in the meantime, but I was too immersed in the process of finding the leap of growth, and there was an unfounded belief that Casey, who was an adult and had a place in the Knights, would do well on his own.
Casey was a smart kid who learned more than one if he told me one.
“And..!! I heard it all from the people of the Snow Country Exploration Team. He said he had already found the elixir of growth in the snowy country!!! I finished all the things I wrote in the letter, but why are you not coming back!!
I… Threw it away, right..!! Uncle finally… !!”
The aura from Casey’s rapier, whose emotions were intensified, burned even more fiercely.
It looked like they were planning to attack again.
“Casey calm down and talk to me.”
“No..!! I don’t want to hear more!!”
The rapier, which started burning fiercely again, approached me.
I definitely said let’s talk.
The one who refused was Casey.
“Then…The only way to do it is to calm down…!!!”
The short dagger I was holding also started to burn with an aura.
You don’t have to go complicated.
Keep him down and calm him down before talking.
I have a hole in my stomach, but I’m still a master.
If you’re not vigilant, it’s no big deal to take down a single Casey with this level of injury.
“Get away from Atlas!!”
At that time, Lucia woke up again, looking dusty.
Still, Casey didn’t even look at Lucia.
Maybe he felt like he wasn’t worth dealing with, but Lucia was different this time.
She looked for her own weapon, perhaps deciding that it would be difficult with her bare hands.
The newly acquired weapon was the so-called pillar of a building.
“Ugh….”
Lucia held on firmly to the pole that was firmly anchored to the ground.
“aaa!!!!”
-Fall in!
The large pillar Lucia was holding onto was dug in the shape of her hand, and her pillar was completely pulled out.
From noble mtl dot com
Construction materials splattered in all directions along with a thick layer of dust from the building where the pillars were pulled out.
Lucia didn’t just ignorantly swing the pole, but grabbed her pole and tried ‘swordsmanship’.
Red flames burned from the log poles that couldn’t contain her aura.
Russell’s proud sword of rock was cast with a thick log pole.
“Uh… Uh uh uh huh??”
-Two kwang!!!
In the alley of the downtown area, there was a roar like a bomb exploding.
————————-
Lucia pulled out her pillars and thanks to her swordsmanship, the downtown area was a mess with dust, and she got out of the crowd safely.
But it’s really an attack that you wield without looking back.
Since I was right in front of Casey, I almost got caught up in it.
“Ah.. Atlas ship.. Ship.. What should I do… “
Lucia ran with me on her back and fell into a panic.
She ran with me bloodied down her belly, her clothes and hands covered in my blood.
She turned pale and her hands trembled as she looked at the blood on her body.
“It’s okay, I won’t die… Some blood was spilled and the intestines tasted good… But this is a wound that heals quickly.”
“It’s such a big deal!!”
“…There’s no hospital nearby… Can you buy me water, two bottles of wound healing potions, and two bundles of bandages from there?”
There may be a hospital somewhere in the downtown area, but I didn’t see anything right away.
It seems to be hiding somewhere between alleys.
I missed the academy, which has a large hospital where limbs can be quickly restored.
“Ah… Ok… If you have that, you’ll be fine..?”
“Yes, the bleeding has almost stopped now.”
It hurts so much because I was forcibly closing it, but I stopped anyway.
I’m used to treating wounds alone.
First aid is possible if you do well alone, but it will be easier if you have the above.
“I’ll be back right away, so make sure you’re safe…”
“That’s because it’s okay.”
Lucia realized right away that that was all she could help, and she ran through the still dusty buildings.
She said to herself when she confirmed that she had gone to the distance where she could no longer be seen.
“Huh… Did you come here because you wanted to talk to me right now?”
“…..”
Casey, hiding in the shadows of the building, appeared without a sound.
It is a stealth technique of such a high level that no matter how panicked you may be, you will not notice even if an expert who was on high alert was right next to you.
I don’t know who taught it, but he taught it really well.
‘Oh, was it me?’
A little while ago, Lucia launched a wide-ranging attack and it fizzled out, but there were still things that hadn’t been resolved.
As before, I tried to pull out the dagger, but Casey’s reaction was completely different from what I expected.
“Ah…That man…”
The condition of Casey who reappeared was strange.
He seemed like a completely different person from the Casey I had just met.
Looking at the bloody wound on his abdomen, he shuddered.
“…Take this…”
Casey looked at my wounds and threw a small paper box from his arms.
It was a wound treatment kit provided by the Knights.
“I’ll be grateful.”
“You can’t avoid something like that… Don’t go anywhere and say you’re an officer of the Imperial Knights. Mister… I really hate it.”
“Don’t tell the Templars, it’s embarrassing.”
“… I’ll tell you everything. I was taken by surprise because I was sluggish..”
Not just shaking her body, but thick tears began to flow from her eyes.
She was definitely Casey, but she seemed like a completely different person from the Casey I had just met.
She seemed desperate to have her mask removed.
Realizing that her tears were streaming down her own face, Casey wiped her tears with the sleeve of her robe and she quickly ran away.
She sighed as she held the leftover wound care kit in her hand.
“Should I say a little late puberty…?”
