93 – But you know what?
Again. Again.
The cheerful sound of shoes resounded incongruously with the dark mage’s hideout, which was soaked in blood.
Then the sound of the shoe started to get closer and closer and came towards me.
“Are you okay with the injury?”
“…… Huh. Thanks to. But how did you know?”
It’s very dangerous to talk about miscellaneous things when you haven’t completely defeated the Archbishop yet.
But Chloe didn’t seem to care much about that, and the Archbishop also couldn’t move his body.
It was because he was already injured and had consumed a lot of mana, so he couldn’t defeat Chloe, who was in the best condition.
Chloe raised her left hand without answering my question.
And in her delicate hand was a jewel with a blue sapphire.
“I put some of my magic into the rail ring. Is it possible that something like this could happen?”
“It seems that the news of my disappearance has already reached the North.”
“To be precise, the news of the sleeping princess over there came first, rather than you.”
Chloe’s eyes turned to the fallen Claire.
Then he takes out two small bottles from his bosom and hands them to me.
“Drink one bottle, feed the princess over there and rest for a bit.”
“Are you going to deal with it alone?”
“Why? Are you planning to fight with that body? Rather, it only interferes, so just watching will help.”
“No.”
I immediately drank the potion Chloe gave me.
As the potion passes through your neck, the lack of mana begins to fill up little by little.
And not only the mana, but also the wounds began to heal little by little.
“Certainly, if I help you as you are now, I might be able to hold you back.”
But no matter how much that archbishop was wounded and spent a lot of mana, I would shake her head if she asked if I could defeat her safely.
The man is already exhausted, but his opponent is the archbishop, who is the most skilled among warlocks.
What’s more, if you touch his magic even once, it’s dangerous because your body will melt.
That’s why I didn’t stand beside Chloe, I stood behind her.
“But as long as I support you so you don’t get hurt, I’ll be fine.”
“…… After. At times like this, I hope you understand my feelings.”
Chloe sighed deeply and looked at me.
But the corner of her mouth was raised as if I knew it would come out like this.
“Rail. But you know what?”
“What?”
“Are you aware that the tone has changed?”
“… ….”
For a moment, I shut my mouth.
If you think about it, he used a light tone for most of the others, but he always used a noble tone for the princess and Chloe.
There was no need to be embarrassed by the way she spoke, but she was the only person in this world who suspected that I was someone other than Rail, so I had no choice but to be careful.
I was a little distracted from the battle with the archbishop, so I made a mistake.
As she was thinking about how to explain herself to her, she burst out laughing.
“Well, this isn’t the first time you’ve changed your tone, right? On the contrary, I was dissatisfied that he didn’t speak kind words to me, but how about continuing with that tone this time?”
“…… Okay.”
“Good.”
Nodding her head in satisfaction, she turned her gaze to the archbishop in front of her.
He melted Chloe’s ice magic and was preparing for her next attack.
“Then, shall we continue hunting for warlocks?”
Chloe raised her mana at the same time as he said that.
Damn it-!
Then, an ice spear began to form on her hand, expelling cold air.
A dangerous magic that freezes her entire body if she is hit by the ice spear even a little bit.
It was her freezing magic that I had seen before, but compared to that time, the size of the ice spear was twice as large.
However, the higher the magic power, the higher the casting speed.
And the Archbishop couldn’t just watch Chloe, who couldn’t move while casting the spell.
The image of the man who completed the magic first disappeared from his eyes.
Thump!
The teleport magic appeared right in front of Chloe, who had not finished casting yet.
Spine-chilling black magic rose from his hand, and his menacing fist shot at Chloe.
‘Come on, run away!’
When anyone in their sane mind sees a dangerous attack that could kill them, it’s normal for anyone to avoid it by rolling back or rolling on the floor.
And her man, anticipating that Chloe would avoid it, prepared the magic to use right away.
But for some reason, Chloel didn’t stop casting his magic, and didn’t step behind him or stomp on the floor to dodge his attack.
On the contrary, she even showed the composure to smile slightly with her ridiculous face.
“If you want to die, I will do as you wish!”
The archbishop thought it would be better to kill Chloe as it is, and was about to hit her face with his black magical fist.
Hwieeiik-!
His fist struck the air with the sound of cutting through the wind.
‘Did he run away after all?’
The archbishop thought that Chloe’s face a moment ago was just a provocation.
But thanks to him, he thought it would be a benefit since the casting of the magic, which was considered dangerous to him, was cut off.
However.
Damn it!
In the hands of Chloe, who had fled quite a bit from the man’s attack, the casting was still in progress.
And as if to prove it, an ice spear that was bigger than before was held in her hand.
“Dae, what the heck?”
But he belatedly realized why she was able to avoid her casting without stopping, which required her high concentration.
Rail suddenly appeared where Chloe had been standing a while ago and swung her dagger at her man at breakneck speed.
Kang!
Quickly, she raised her hand to block the rail dagger that was flying at her face.
It is said that he ate a potion, but his speed was much slower than before because he used too much stamina, but the archbishop also consumed a lot of stamina and mana.
If you drag out time, you will be killed by Chloe’s attack.
If that happens, the resurrection that we have been preparing for decades to resurrect the ancient being may fail.
At that moment, a good plan came to his mind.
‘If this guy is in danger of dying, that woman will also stop casting and try to save her.’
The Archbishop’s gaze turned from Chloe to Rail, thinking that he would take care of Rail first rather than killing the dangerous Chloe.
And that moment when he swung at the rail holding only one dagger.
He hesitated.
Is it because I saw the magical power of the rail that made the hideout tremble?
His movements stopped for a moment at the blue magic that rose from Rail’s left hand.
Then he stopped his attacking hand and instinctively turned back.
Taang-!
At the moment, with the sound of air bursting, a blue bullet was fired from Rail’s hand toward the face of the fleeing man.
But unfortunately, not the man’s face, the bullet punctured his ear.
“Heuk!”
A moan escaped from the man’s mouth, perhaps in pain.
The archbishop broke into a cold sweat at the fact that if that bullet had been fired right in front of him, he would rather die.
However, Rail’s attack didn’t end there, and he jumped at the fleeing archbishop.
“This bastard!!”
He screamed in anger at the loss of one of his ears.
And as if he thought that rails that do not cast magic were not that dangerous, his attack was fired at the rails once again.
However, the moment the archbishop blinked, the image of the rail standing right in front of him disappeared.
No. To be precise, something bright red covered both eyes, so I couldn’t see at all.
And the familiar scent felt in his nose.
“Blood?”
Then he realized that the blood flowing from his ears had been covered by Rail using telekinesis magic to cover his eyes.
“Did you think you could evade an attack with just such a trick!”
But even without opening his eyes, the archbishop, who could determine the location of the opponent by the magic he felt around him, swung his arm at the magic of the rail he felt from behind.
And then, a heavy fist hit Rail’s abdomen.
Kooung!
The archbishop was blown away by his fist and the rails were driven into the wall.
“Cool!”
And dark red blood gushed out of his mouth.
No matter how much defensive magic was used, getting hit by a man’s attack at close range was quite damaging.
After roughly wiping the blood from his eyes with his hand, the man laughed as he looked at the rail stuck in the wall.
But his laughter didn’t last long.
It was because his lips were up happily even though he was pinned against the wall and bleeding from his mouth.
And then, the smiling Reil’s mouth opened slowly.
“Done. You’re a freak.”
The words that came out of the loser’s mouth weren’t threatening at all, but the fact that he still had one opponent left chilled the Archbishop’s back.
His gaze quickly turned to Chloe on the other side.
There was a huge ice spear of Chloe after casting.
“Mi, crazy!”
If you get hit by that magic, you really die.
In fear of death, the Archbishop’s body quickly heads to the place where Chloe came in a moment ago.
But he couldn’t even run away.
“Kneel.”
The archbishop, who was quickly running away, was brought to his knees by Rail’s chant, which had risen before he knew it.
“Oh no… ….”
Then, along with his dejected voice, Chloe’s ice spear was launched at a speed close to the speed of sound, and the man could not escape the attack, and the ice spear was stuck in his heart and fell to the floor.
