187 – Divergence (3)
“…But why all of a sudden? And is it even possible in the first place…?”
Lien, who had initially spoken with a very happy expression, began to feel a bit strange as time passed and replied.
To that question, the Lord nodded and spoke.
“If there was more time left than now, it would have been impossible for me as well, but in the current situation, it is possible to extract you relatively quickly. Of course, even this will take about 3 days.”
“…Why?”
“What do you mean why?”
“The reason why you are trying to extract me quickly.”
Lien was not a fool.
Although she tended to be shallow in her thinking for a dragon, her mind basically functioned normally, and she knew what kind of disposition the Dragon Lord in front of her had.
An observer who thought that everything should proceed according to nature.
Lien, who knew the thoughts of the current Dragon Lord and the protector of this continent, Aliones, asked with a face full of questions.
At least Lien, who knew his thoughts, knew that there was no reason for him to do this deliberately.
And to that question, Aliones silently drew up his magic power and began to pour it into this lair.
Wooooong-!!!
Aliones, who looked around the lair once, which began to vibrate with the intense magic power that had suddenly surged in, sat down quietly and began to speak.
“We have plenty of time anyway, so I will tell you slowly, but first, let me tell you the conclusion. There are two reasons.”
“…”
“The first is because there is something that requires your power. And the second is because Lartania is in danger.”
“What the-!”
Lien spoke with a frown.
Her reptilian eyes, which usually did not show much, emitted a fierce glare as she looked at Aliones, but he remained calm and spoke.
“I will say it again. Sit down. And it is meaningless to get angry at me. I came to help you, and it is not my fault that the world is in danger or that Lartania is in danger.”
“…”
Lien frowned at Aliones’ words for a moment, but soon sat down.
As soon as he confirmed that she was seated, he spoke.
“First of all, before I tell you, I would like you to make a promise.”
“What is it?”
“Promise me that you will not rush out after hearing this story.”
“…”
Lien frowned.
However, she had no choice but to nod her head as Aliones kept his mouth shut as if he would never speak unless she made that promise.
And.
“Two days from now. Kim Hyun-woo will die.”
“…What?”
Lien’s eyes widened at the Dragon Lord’s words.
####
That night.
A small multipurpose room on the first floor of Lartania’s castle.
Originally, it was a place where no one used it and was just filled with junk, but now, there were two heroes there.
“Are you ready?”
“It’s all done. Now all we have to do is activate it…!”
The two heroes were Shadra and River.
“But this magic circle. Is it really effective?”
When River asked, looking at the very metaphysical magic circle drawn on the floor of the multipurpose room, Shadra nodded as if it was obvious and spoke.
“Of course it’s effective. The moment this magic circle is activated, a silence spell will be cast on all floors except the top floor. Even those who are under the silence spell will not be aware that they are under the silence spell.”
“…Is that possible?”
“It is possible. We are casting the spell so weakly that we cannot detect it. Um…Strictly speaking, I should say that it makes them dull? In addition to that, a dream spell will be cast on the top floor.”
“…Hypnosis?”
“Hypnosis is meaningless. We just took measures to make ourselves look a little more attractive. It’s better to fight on a slightly better battlefield.”
River nodded at Shadra’s endlessly serious words and spoke.
“That’s true, but won’t we get caught?”“Of course. This multipurpose room is only entered once a month. The magic circle itself was drawn with a special material magic stone that you, River, made to block the light from the magic power.”
Certainly, unlike the general magic circles, the magic circle that Shadara had drawn in the multipurpose room did not emit any light at all, which was supposed to be emitted by the magic circle.
“…So, should we go up now?”
“No? There’s no need to go up. I was worried that we might be caught while going up, so I made it possible to teleport.”

“…Wow, is that possible?”
“It’s impossible for long distances, but it’s possible for short distances like this. We have about 10 minutes left, so let’s prepare slowly.”
Shadara said so and secretly looked at the clothes she was wearing inside her robe.
The clothes she was wearing, which were rumored to be Kim Hyun-woo’s favorite cosplay, seemed vulgar even to her, but she didn’t feel ashamed.
“Wow…”
…River seems to think differently.
Anyway, the two of them were thinking that they would teleport soon.
Creak-!
“?!”
Suddenly, they heard a voice from the door of the multipurpose room and hid their bodies between the shelves where things were piled up, with a surprised expression on their faces.
And.
“Ah, stop- stop-”
“Ha- ha-”
“Stop, ah…”
Soon, Shadara and River opened their mouths wide and looked at each other with a strange sound of breathing as the door of the multipurpose room closed roughly.
That was because they had never expected this situation.
So, the two of them looked at each other with bewildered expressions and talked about what to do with their eyes.
“Damn- let me breathe…”
“S, sorry Roriell…was I too clumsy…”
“No, it’s okay…kiss.”
Soon, they were surprised again by the names of the two men and women.
“I love you. I love you, Roriell…forgive me…I’ve been…dishonest.”
At the same time, they had no choice but to hide their bodies even more at the confession of the strange situation.
“Don’t say that…I felt the same way…I was scared…I couldn’t tell you. I- I love you too.”
The sound of Roriell’s voice, which was tearful, and the sound of their breathing, which began to intensify gradually.
River and Shadara watched the two of them gradually becoming one, with their faces flushed as they heard the sound of clothes falling one by one.
“Hot…!”
River, who came to her senses a little, soon tapped Shadara, who was staring blankly at the sight with her eyes wide open.
“!”
Shadara, who was shocked as if struck by lightning, came to her senses.
Looking at her, River gestured as if to say that they should get out of here first, and Shadara nodded as if she had heard.
Fortunately, the place where they were hiding was close to the door of the multipurpose room, so they could get out of here except for a slightly dangerous section.
“Ah, stop-”
“Ha- ha…”
So, Shadara and River, who were looking at Giral and Roriell, who were lusting after each other with strange noises, began to head towards the door of the multipurpose room without taking their eyes off them.
Soon, Shadara, who had reached a situation where she could quietly leave the multipurpose room by just opening the door after going outside the shelf.
“…Huh?”
She instinctively realized that she had forgotten something.
Why aren’t you moving?!
River, who stopped in her tracks and didn’t move, said with only her lips.
However, even though she read River’s lips, Shadara stopped there and stared blankly at the door of the multipurpose room.
“Gasp-!”
Only then did she realize one fact, and she turned her head quickly to look at the magic circle right behind Roriell and Giral.
‘Oh, no…!’
As Shadara realized what the magic circle was about to do and made a shocked expression, River, who was looking at her with a strange expression, also looked at the magic circle.
“Ah.”
She opened her eyes wide as if she had realized something.
‘I have to stop it, even now…!’
The moment Shadara opened her mouth with that thought.
Boom-!
The magic circle swallowed everyone with a pure white light.And.
“Ugh-!”
Kim Hyun-woo, who woke up from his sleep with a gasp without realizing it due to the heavy feeling he suddenly felt in his stomach while sleeping, looked at the bed in a panic as he got up from his seat with a bewildered expression.
He could see it soon.
“Ah-!”
“Ugh-”
“Ah.”
“Ah…”
Roriel and Giral, who were acting like beasts on his bed.
And next to them, Shadra and River, who were hugging each other and looking at him.
“…?????????”
Kim Hyun-woo looked at them blankly with his brain stopped in a chaotic situation, but soon opened his mouth instinctively, thinking that he should sort out this situation first.
“…Well, first of all, can you stop shaking and stop?”
“Ah…”
“What…!?”
Looking at the two who came to their senses belatedly, Kim Hyun-woo had no choice but to make a brain-dead expression.
