Chapter 83 Petals
Cohen surrounded Cybel with Mangot’s men.
It was an incomprehensible action for him, who had the upper hand in the confrontation just a moment ago.
“Mr. Cohen. Mangot personnel can cross the barrier. “Let’s advance like this.”
Cohen’s subordinate spoke from the side.
Cohen said without taking his eyes off Cybel.
“You have to kill that b*tch first and then do it.”
The subordinate could not understand, but did not ask further. All of Mangot’s personnel who go to this war trust the shepherd.
This was even more so because all the shepherds brought their own subordinates with them.
“That b*tch uses strange tricks.”
Cohen gritted his teeth. The anger of losing one of his beloved swords is great, but first, he must find out why the sword suddenly split in two.
‘Is this what it meant to be loved by fate, which I heard about when I was researching?’
When Cohen first heard the information, he thought it was a metaphor for talent. As is the case with most people called geniuses, a strange epithet was given to the girl named Cybel.
But if it’s not a metaphor, but just what it says.
“I guess I’ve been lucky enough to survive so far.”
Cohen quipped. As before, it was a provocation meant to draw out Cybel’s weakness.
Cybel laughed.
“that’s right.”
Her rapier was raised.
“You might die out of luck here.”
“You insolent b*tch!”
As if on cue, Mangot’s troops attacked Saibel all at once.
Although Cohen’s intention to provoke ended up being a provocation for the soldiers, Cohen watched in silence.
If his blade broke and all the other soldiers behaved strangely, it was not the result of luck. Mangot came to fight against the humans of the empire, and cannot wander around with unknown ghosts.
Hiss!
Mangot’s blades flew in, and Saibel swung her rapier as if trying to block them all.
Reckless, that’s what Cohen thought at the moment.
“Ahh!”
“aaah!”
All the soldiers who were touched by Cybel’s sword screamed and retreated. Some of them even lost their swords.
“What, what have you done!”
“well.”
Saibel’s calm reply. Cohen’s eyes widened at the sight of his men wrapping their hands.
‘Are you really, truly being loved by fate?’
Not being loved by any god, but fate itself standing there to save that woman? Because of that one thing, all of his subordinates are suffering without being able to even touch their swords?
Does that really make sense? How can something like that be allowed?
“… … “No.”
Cohen’s aura swelled. He put aura into one sword.
If it’s just luck, it’s understandable. It is worth seeing that Cybel avoids, blocks, and survives the attack by some strange coincidence. however.
I witnessed an incomprehensible and unconvincing phenomenon right before my eyes, which was not even a coincidence. If he was lucky, at least a comedy would have been produced in which his soldiers all tripped over rocks.
Even if something so absurd happens, you can’t understand it, and you feel pain just by touching the sword?
“That can’t be said.”
Something like that. I can not admit it. It’s not just Mangot. No prosecutor would be able to acknowledge Cybel’s actions now.
What have we devoted our time to? What did you vomit blood and cut your bones to achieve?
“I will kill you.”
Suddenly, Cohen took a step forward.
“Even if fate is really on your side, even if God hates me because of it, and even if I face heavenly punishment, I will kill you.”
At those words, Cybel let out a soft sigh.
“Whether you kill me or not, you will not be punished. Rest assured.”
“shut up!”
Wow!
The blades of Cohen’s Cybel clashed together in the air.
“Ugh!”
At that moment, Cohen grimaced as the pain spread from his hands to his entire body. Indeed, did all of his soldiers scream from this pain? It’s definitely quite a pain.
‘But something like this can’t kill me!’
Cohen gritted his teeth and tried to attack again. Cybel responded calmly and fought. Her elegant defense remained the same.
The soldiers of Mangot watching the fight between the two. There was also confusion on their faces.
‘What on earth was that?’
Unlike Cohen, they did not hear that Cybel was ‘a woman loved by fate.’ Therefore, the phenomenon just now was extremely strange.
Just touching the sword was painful, and some people couldn’t handle the pain and dropped their weapons. This is a fight and nothing happens.
Cohen is furious now. To Cybel, who seems to be taking the easy path in the name of fate.
The soldiers are panicking. To understand the situation that befell him, whether it was fate or something else.
Because at this moment.
The soldiers at Mangot were even more cold-hearted than Cohen, who knew Cybel’s information.
‘This pain, somewhere… … .’
One of the soldiers recalls a memory from the past.
Of course, he has never received anything like heavenly punishment. I haven’t encountered any strange resistance, wondering if it was fate or something.
Still, there was a sense of déjà vu in the pain I felt when Cybel’s blade just touched me.
So he looked back on the memories of many times in the past when he faced swords. Since the pain was caused by the clash of blades, I wondered if any memories would come to mind during such a fight.
“… … uh?”
But what came to his mind was not the memory of the fight.
It had nothing to do with it. He knew the identity of this pain. It wasn’t the first pain I’d felt.
… … But then.
How did that happen in ‘Blade’…? … ?
“Cohen, Mr. Cohen!!”
The soldier shouted.
He would rather have fate intervene,
I realized a more direct and frightening truth.

“Send me to the barrier.”
Cybel said to Frontier.
It was when Frontier was checking the structure of the wall using a three-dimensional map.
“… … what?”
“When deploying personnel, send me to the barrier.”
Frondier blinked for a moment at the sound of a voice that seemed to be filled with determination.
He scratched his head and said:
“Most Constel students will be expected to prepare for security and emergencies within the city.”
“That’s most of it, not everything.”
As Cybel said, not everything. Those with skills comparable to those of the Zodiac, such as Aster and Elodie, head to the barrier.
“… … There is no guarantee that it will happen if I deploy it. “I’m just suggesting this to the meeting.”
“It’s still good.”
Cybel nodded.
Frondier had a troubled look in his eyes that seemed like he wouldn’t back down.
His head tilts and he checks the map again.
“Hmm, let me take a look.”
Cybel read Frondier’s true intentions in his voice.
Frontier does not intend to send Cybel to the wall.
Seup, Saibel took a deep breath and then said what had been on her mind.
“Do you think I’m going to die?”
Frondier’s eyes stopped at that. He looked up again and saw Cybel.
“… … “You can at least worry about your classmates.”
“Or do you think someone else will die because of me?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Frontier’s expression changed.
Cybel was a little frightened by the sudden change in his sharp face and cold voice, but he spoke steadfastly.
“I actually heard it.”
“what?”
“When we went to the dungeon. “When you carried me and headed to the sanctuary.”
“… … !”
Frondier’s eyes widened as if a memory had come to him.
“I don’t believe in God.”
“… … .”
“Because I don’t believe in fate.”
When Frontier spoke to Sanctuary.
For the first time in her life, Cybel felt ‘shame’.
She took for granted the luck and blessings given to her. I also tried to use it. Perhaps in the near future, he may have attempted to put someone in misfortune for his own gain.
But Cybel has changed.
When I was saved by Frontier and heard his answer.
“… … But I still do.”
But regardless of whether Frontier believes in fate or not.
“Listen to the sound of the gears.”
It is an indisputable fact that Cybel is loved by fate.
Click, click, click.
Cybel still lives, receiving the service destined for her.
“Perhaps, Frontier.”
Cybel suddenly became trembling and spoke to Frondier.
“… … “The reason you’re avoiding me.”
“… … !”
Cybel has been wanting to ask this for a long time.
Still, I was so scared of hearing the answer that I kept putting it off and hesitating.
But not anymore.
This war, her resolve to stand, is at an end that cannot be postponed.
“Is it because I rely on fate?”
“… … .”
“You don’t believe in fate, so you don’t believe in me either?”
Sibel felt truly cowardly as she asked that question.
With a trembling voice, an anxious face, and a heart that begged me not to say that.
Do all of that and hope that the other person hears your sincerity.
I can’t control my voice or facial expressions.
so.
“It’s not like that.”
When Frontier denied it, Cybel regretted it.
For her sake, it felt like Frontier was giving an unwanted answer.
I should have asked at least a little more normally. If so, it would naturally reveal Frontier’s inner thoughts.
“The reason I’ve been avoiding you is,”
Meanwhile, Frontier’s words continue.
“Because to me, you were not a wizard or a warrior, but just a girl.”
“… … huh?”
Cybel asked back at the sound that was momentarily unintelligible.
Even though Frontier said this, he was quite sincere.
The reason why Frontier avoids Cybel is clear.
Because Cybel is a villain.
Sybel, who was loved by fate and spread her wings with outstanding talent, one day betrayed the empire and ran away.
Many players were angry towards Cybel, and the same was true for Frontier at one point.
However, the current Frontier has memories of being with Cybel.
‘I had similar concerns during my school trip.’
When I worked as a lifeguard as a volunteer, Frontier thought about Cybel.
It would also be important for Cybel not to become a villain.
When that time comes, will we be able to believe that Cybel has changed?
‘I knew then.’
When that worry crossed his mind, Frondier realized one thing.
The fact that he was worried about whether he could trust Cybel meant that he was already aware of the changes in Cybel.
‘Sibel was a character who was loved by fate so much that she grew up without any hardships.’
Because they grew up without obstacles, they stumble and fall even on small rocks.
That is why Cybel ultimately betrays the player.
If we were just going to play the numbers game, Cybel’s abilities would be better than anyone else’s.
… … Because that’s not how it works.
Frontier finally understood it.
“I’m just worried about you.”
Once you take away the attached formulas like fateful love, villain, betrayal, etc.
Cybel is just a young girl.
A child who does not have the opportunity to grow up through hardship, adversity, and trials is always pushed by the hand of the empire to the most dangerous place.
So Cybel ran away. So he became a villain.
‘I can’t say things like that anymore.’
In the dungeon, he was stabbed by a Slav, in the hut, he was surrounded by Indus bastards and shot arrows at Frondier, and in Tavern, he and Aten built a wall of ice so that his eyes turned red.
When Cybel was with Frontier, she always went through all sorts of hardships.
“… … Cybel. “Do you remember what I said?”
I remember it all.
Knowing that Cybel is not a girl who relies on fate.
Frontier said:
“Fate lies beneath your feet.”
Frontier sent Cybel to the barrier.
Just like when I once trusted Cybel.
Just like before, when we didn’t know that Cybel was a villain.

“Cohen!! Avoid!”
Cohen suddenly heard the voice of a flying soldier.
What kind of nonsense are you talking about avoiding? Now, I am slowly getting used to the pain I feel every time I hit the blade.
He is superior in swordsmanship, so in just a few moves he will be able to slit that b*tch’s head.
But the next cry.
“It’s lightning!”
I couldn’t just ignore those words.
“That woman! “I’m using lightning!”
“… … what?”
The corner of Cohen’s eye twitched. What did you say just now? Lightning?
Why does that sound suddenly come out? Aren’t we fighting with swords now?
How can something like lightning jump out in the middle of it?
“I got caught.”
But Saibel tilted her head and said that.
“It’s a fateful love, so it’s really fun.”
Muttering strange words.
Cybel’s eyes sank again. A strangely low gaze.
Even when she cut Cohen’s sword in two, Cybel had that look in her eyes.
──You know what, Elodie?
When I found out that you were Frontier’s childhood friend, I was jealous.
While I was ignoring Frondier as a sloth, you would have been talking to him.
When you achieved the three-element combination, I was actually really jealous.
I noticed that Frontier wasn’t worried about you.
You can confidently stand next to Frontier.
I can’t even imagine something like that.
Because I can only do what I imagine.

Hwareuk-
The rapier fell down.
Without any metaphor, it burned red.
Cohen just watched the scene speechless.
An indescribable fear swept over me, and I stood there in a daze, unable to make any movement.
A sword clad in aura. Flames bloomed on the sword.
The explanation is really simple.
It’s really simple, I just did ‘Auror’ and ‘Magic’ at the same time.
“… … “It’s a lie.”
Cohen was seeing a sight that would never be seen again in human history.
“Something like that shouldn’t exist.”
Whether he heard those words or not, Cybel spoke while holding a flaming sword.
“I don’t believe in fate.”
It’s something Frontier said, and it’s a line that changed her beliefs for a long time.
Now, her beliefs are a little different from Frontier’s.
“Give me that sh*t.”
