223. Can’t die without my permission
“The moment the activation of the spell is detected, this child will die. Did you understand?”
“·······.”
A chilly, frozen atmosphere.
In the midst of that, the first lady and the butler knelt one by one and nodded slowly.
Yulia was standing upright with her hair being grabbed by the assailant.
But her slender legs couldn’t stand the ground, and Yulia continued to writhe in her pain.
‘Where the hell…’
The lady looked at him and bit her lip.
It took only about 20 seconds for the barrier to break and close.
According to the guards, no intruders crossed the wall during that time.
Then how on earth did it suddenly appear from above the sky?
However, how they got there is no longer so important.
From now on, how to rescue Yulia was a more important issue.
“It’s good that the girl on the boat over there doesn’t do anything stupid! Hands up!”
“Kuh…”
Erica, who was secretly trying to touch her barrier spell, flinched and trembled at her scream and raised her hand.
To the extent that you can notice even the slightest change in the technique.
The trick of secretly preparing magic behind the scenes didn’t seem to work.
Does that mean that hand-to-hand combat will work?
Even though I had no idea of that black man’s fighting ability, it was obvious that he would be much stronger than the maids and butlers gathered here in the garden.
To make matters worse, all the guards are out of the barrier, saying they are wary of intrusion from the outside.
I couldn’t get help from the outside unless I opened the barrier arbitrarily.
‘Schlus. I need Schluss.’
Erica struggled to find her way without losing her composure.
If she had enough magic power, she would have tried her best to rescue Yulia, but she had just poured all her magic power into the barrier, so she had almost no magic power left.
So, only Schluss Heinkel was the only one who had the ability to overcome this situation within the barrier.
‘Come out. Quickly…’
However, there was no sign of him coming out of the cave that Schluss entered for a long time.
An hour has already passed.
Perhaps Schluss could not take his hand off his crystal ball and became a crippled person.
Then he must go in and take him out now.
Erica watched her carefully with that thought.
She thought maybe she could slip quietly into the water, dive and swim into the cave.
“Because it’s not my hobby to hurt children either. If you calmly hand over Schluss Heinkel, I’ll guarantee everyone’s safety. First of all, where is Schluss Heinkel?”
“·······.”
The lady slowly raised her hand and pointed towards her cave.
“Did you spread something out and sleep? What are you doing down there?”
“He’s probably unconscious by now.”
“Consciousness? Why?”
“That’s none of your business.”
“hahahahaha! That’s right! It doesn’t matter why! I just need Schluse’s head!”
As the dialogue with her lady continued, Erica slowly took off her cumbersome outerwear.
Before I knew it, Erica was in a state where she was wearing only the thin clothes inside her.
Careful to make as little noise as possible, Erica plunged into the water, starting with her legs.
“Ah, lady…”
“Shh. I’m not looking this way, so it’s okay.”
Then she submerged and began to head toward the cave without hesitation.
She couldn’t even create a spell to supply oxygen.
If you do, you’ll be caught right away.
‘Ugh······ Breath······.’
I wanted to go up to the surface several times in the middle, but I barely endured it.
There were a couple of times when I accidentally drank water.
Even as she felt her breath choke and water fill her mouth, Erica continued her way through the water, determined to save her little brother’s life.
“Puhaaah…!”
Into the cave we finally reached.
Erika stuck her head out and exhaled, hoping that she wouldn’t be heard here.
When she reached the shore, she climbed up and several times she regurgitated the water she had swallowed.
Erica, exhausted in an instant, staggered toward her back room.
“What are you doing…”
A Schluss would be fine.
It is said that if you hold it for more than an hour, you will go crazy, but since Schluss is not an ordinary person, it should be fine.
I’m sure he’s sitting quietly and waiting in the back, completely unaware of the situation.
Erica thought so and she hurriedly pushed on the door.
“Kuuu…”
“Huh?”
The sight unfolding from the back was something Erika had never expected.
Schlus was trembling as if in pain.
Her eyes were shaking in the air, unfocused.
“Hey! Schluss! Wake up!”
She was startled and Erica ran over and slapped Schluse on the cheek, but she didn’t respond at all.
I got scared and looked to the side, sure enough, Schluse’s right hand was holding the crystal ball tightly.
I tried to remove her finger, but it was no use.
Schlus was already becoming a disabled person.
“Take that off! You’re crazy after doing this…!”
“Ugh…”
Erica then began hugging Schluse around the waist and pulling him behind her.
But even lifting the heavy man’s body was not an easy task for Erica.
“uuu! Take it off!”
Pouring all of her remaining magical energy into her inner circuit, Erica pulled Schluse with all her might.
Then, at some point, with a sudden sensation, Schluss was pulled back.
“Oh?!”
“Heo-eok······.”
With a thud, Erica rolled onto her back and managed to get herself up.
Her magical exhaustion came and she could not stand up.
Perhaps she was already too late.
Maybe Schluss can’t come to his senses like this.
Even if she came to her senses, the anxiety that she might have already gone mad had come over her.
“Erika?”
Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.
Schluss looked back and recognized her face.
Erica let out a sigh of relief, but she was short of breath for a moment and couldn’t get her words out right away.
“It’s almost 2 hours… But it’s not coming out, what are you doing, you fool…”
Unfortunately, the first words that came out were words of resentment. She
She said she would go crazy if she put her hand on her crystal ball for more than an hour. She
She told me time and time again to be careful.
Still, Schluss ignored the warning and held the crystal ball.
I just couldn’t understand what the hell was in his past that made him prepare for the risk of becoming a ruined man.
After all, Schluss has always been like this.
He always seems to be planning and preparing in detail, but he never cared about his own safety.
His heart sank more than once as he watched it, but he did not speak directly to Schluss.
I thought that would be the way Schluss did and just passed it on.
But now that didn’t work out.
I should have just skipped it this time, but he felt sad as tears kept flowing down.
“Schluss······. Save Yulia······. Please······.”
“What?”
But for now, there is something that needs to be prioritized.
Despite my shame, there was something I had to ask Schluss for.
Erica held back all her emotions and squeezed Schluse’s hand.
When she heard that, Schluse’s expression gradually distorted.
***
“It’s supposed to be a dead person… So unless you forcefully pull it out, does that mean Schluss Heinkel will never wake up?”
“·······.”
In silence, the lady nodded her head.
She said everything.
Everything including that Schluss is in that cave and is completely helpless right now.
Now, it was as easy as twisting the wrist of a child for the assailant to break in and slit Schlust’s head.
“Let him go now!”
“No. I’ll hold on to Schluss Heinkel until I get the hang of it. You there! Quickly prepare a boat. Ride to the cave… Huh?”
At that time, the assailant’s eyes turned toward the lakeside.
There was nothing to be there.
From noble mtl dot com.
On the lake, on a boat on the calm water, one girl had disappeared.
“Hey! Where’s the b*tch who was there just now?!”
“That, what is that-“
“Don’t pretend! What are you doing! If you do nonsense, this child will die! You must know!”
“·······!”
The excited assailant thrust her dagger into Yulia’s throat.
The tip of the sword pressed down on Yulia’s beautiful neck and cut her.
A drop of crimson blood ran down the tip of the sword and stained the dagger.
Watching her, the lady just bit her lips in response to her helplessness that she couldn’t do anything.
‘Erika. I don’t know what they’re up to, but please do it quickly…’
It was an immediate situation.
It wouldn’t be strange if the assailant felt betrayed and hurt people right away.
The moment the first lady prayed earnestly in her heart-
Faang······!
A strong wind blew from behind with a bang sound.
When she looked back in surprise, the water surface of the lake shook greatly, leaving traces of something that seemed to have gone through it.
And the moment she turned her head, she could see a large man standing right next to her.
A man with a long sword on her right waist.
Schluss Heinkel was standing by the lady before she knew it.
“That’s Schluss Heinkel! Such a f*cking thing! How dare you fool me!”
“Free him, fanatic.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Schluss Heinkel! Stop right there! Come any further and this child will die!”
“·······.”
The assailant panicked and panicked, but he soon realized that the situation wasn’t too bad.
Schlus Heinkel looked ruthless and cold-hearted on the outside, but stopped at once threatened.
It must mean that this child’s life is precious to Schluss Heinkel.
Grateful for his good fortune in catching his hostage, the man grinned.
“Schlus Heinkel! Would you like to make a deal?”
“Deal?”
“Yes! Why don’t you trade your life and this child’s life!”
“·······.”
Schlus’ expression didn’t change at all.
But he must be agitated inwardly.
The assailant waited for Schluse’s response without losing his smile.
“Not even worth talking to.”
“Ha! You’re not going to let this child die!”
When Schluss drew his sword, the assailant was startled and kicked him backwards.
Schlus Heinkel is obviously fast.
But at this distance, he should be able to decapitate this child before his blade rushes in.
I’m sure Schluss Heinkel doesn’t know that either.
It was as if he was declaring that he would give up the child’s life.
As she looked up at Schluse, a look of despair fell on her face.
“Yulia. Do you trust me?”
“·······.”
Schlus speaks quietly and whispers.
The child’s head moved slowly.
I don’t mind being hurt by the blade on my neck.
Seeing that, Schluss Heinkel exhaled and raised his sword.
“I believe in your trust.”
“What the hell is that…”
Squeak!
At that moment, Schluss’ empty eyes came right in front of the assailant’s nose.
He didn’t come running fast.
It wasn’t even that it came out aiming for the blink of an eye.
Schluss Heinkel, who was just in the distance, ‘appeared’ in front of me in an instant.
“Quaaagh!”
The assailant realized belatedly that both of his arms had been cut off.
The moment he came to his senses, both of his legs were cut off before he knew it, and the assailant fell to the ground.
‘Teleportation······!’
There was no other way to explain it.
That was definitely a teleportation spell.
It was obvious just by looking at the location where Schluss was just now, the child sitting down beside the lady.
However, there was no time to question how Schluss used the teleportation spell.
I had to either kill Schluss Heinkel right away or kill myself.
“Let’s die together…!”
When his internal circuitry was maxed out, blood gushed out of the assailant’s mouth.
The self-destruct technique inside his body was overheating in an instant, burning his whole body.
Looking down at it, I could see Schluse’s face colored with bewilderment.
If you leave this alone, everyone in the garden will die.
However, to stop this, you must break the heart.
There was no way to capture the assailant alive either way.
At least it seemed so.
“Where are you going to run away, you poor bastard?”
“Kuh?!”
Schluss pierced the assailant’s chest with his bare hands, thrusting his fingers between his ribs.
His hand dug in and grabbed my heart.
At that moment, the assailant noticed that the flow of magical power flowing from inside was becoming heterogeneous.
All of the internal circuits fell into the hands of Schluss and were not listening to him.
“You cannot die without my permission.”
“·······!”
I met Schluse’s emotionless gaze.
I thought that the feeling of fear had been completely castrated since I was involved in religion.
However, for the first time in his life, he was faced with infinitely pure fear, and his body trembled.
