84 – Serpia
“…… Kut.”
After Emel’s body was split in half.
The first thing White did was to collapse her body powerlessly.
Puff!
As she knelt down on the frozen ground, artificially chilled, White frowned.
The eyebrows naturally narrowed, the mouth was twisted, and even the pupils were shaking with difficulty.
‘…… If anything, really.’
Muttering something to himself, White gritted his teeth.
…… Could have been beaten
If Orca hadn’t intervened in her timely ways, hadn’t she bought her a bit of time so that she could afford to make at least some preparations.
Perhaps it was she herself who was splitting her body in half instead of Emel.
Although she was able to claim victory as a result, it was an undeniable fact that the situation was so threatening.
‘…… It’s pitiful.’
With one click on her tongue, White brushed her bangs wildly.
As her eyes flashed fiercely once, her eyes naturally turned to Emel.
Precisely, towards the two-pronged ‘what used to be Emel’.
“… ….”
…… In that form, she was not an enemy that could be killed so easily.
It’s none other than Emel.
One of the 12 Demon Kings, the green Demon King Iljindae that possesses the highest level of military power.
At least if I had dealt with him alone, I would have been defeated unless I honestly took out his power.
Or he could have been helped by Ashera, who is far away.
Anyway, those elements naturally made White’s expression distorted.
How should I express it?
Just, just.
He felt very sorry for himself.
I wasn’t actually wrong.
There was no excessive self-help, and it was a conclusion based on an ordinary objective judgment.
That’s why I didn’t like it all the more.
‘If only I had come all the way here alone.’
If only he had come to fight Emel and Louis Vampir alone, rather than with Orca or Ashera.
“… ….”
In an instant, White’s expression crumpled into a look of displeasure.
…… Yes, until Louis Vampir was good.
In the first place, it wasn’t too difficult for Emel to deal with herself with Louis Vampir’s body.
No matter how much he is a great mage in the 9th circle, if he uses a different ability than magic he has honed his whole life.
Even if that training period lasted nearly 10 years, it was inevitable that it would weaken.
But.
…… However, nonetheless.
As long as the green demon king, Emel, took off the mask of Louis Vampir and revealed himself.
It was almost certainly pushed one-sidedly.
Perhaps it was he himself who ended up losing his life and lying in vain.
…… It wasn’t Emel, who was now collapsing in front of her eyes.
He himself.
“…… Under.”
Because it was absurd, White let out a blank laugh.
─I could have died.
Let alone revenge, he couldn’t even win against the demon king he faced for the third time.
…… Of course, there was a good chance that Ashera would have come to the fore if she were to risk dying herself.
Even though she was far away, she must have quickly approached her, blocked Emel’s attack, and even knocked her back.
So, in a real sense, her life wasn’t in danger.
“…… What does that mean?”
The words that escaped from White’s lips soon after were those words.
To kill the demon king in the true sense.
From noble mtl dot com
I had no intention of handling everything alone now.
Nevertheless, nonetheless, White felt that his own strength was lacking.
It’s literally bone-numbing, her sense of helplessness slowly eats away at her whole body.
“…… Whoa.”
Pressing her eyes, White let out a shallow sigh.
…… That said, no matter what she did, she killed another demon lord.
With or without the help of Orca, killing is killing.
‘I’m satisfied with this for now.’
…… Still lacking a lot.
A stronger power, a slightly higher level.
In order to achieve revenge and protection, you will need even more strength than this.
“… ….”
A deep longing began to form in White’s blue eyes.
A moment of silence.
“Okay then.”
Shrugging her shoulders, White turned her around.
To return, there was nothing good about staying here for long anyway.
…… Like that, White calmly calms her mana and tries to move her steps.
“…… Hey.”
“…… ?”
It was then that a small voice of resentment was heard from a little distance away.
A little doubt came to White’s expression, but did she realize something within herself?
“Ah.”
With a short sigh, White turned his head to the side.
“…… ‘A’, you say?”
Her red-haired girl, with large and small wounds all over her body, was trudging her feet.
The destination was none other than White.
Orca, who had approached White before he knew it, glared at White with her eyes mixed with resentment and hatred.
Quaak!
“Oh, wait.”
Towards Orca, who grabbed her by the collar and gritted her teeth, White reached out her hand first and tried to stop her.
“Wait a minute, you need to get hit!”
What flew away were Orca’s eyes full of rage and the blades of her hands.
Tup!
However, how can you just get it right?
Because it wasn’t just a light punch thrown out in anger, it was a sharp hand.
White grabbed Orca’s wrist with a confused expression, and Orca’s expression changed even more sternly.
“Ha, stop it?”
“…… So should I just hit it?”
“You have to be right!”
She chewed her lips roughly as she let out a gurgling sound.
“No, how could that be? Even if it was the best opportunity, don’t you think about me being exposed to the flames?”
“…… Um, great.”
As if there was a sting, White let out a clearing of his throat.
“If I hadn’t managed to block it by surrounding it with my hastily raised energy, I would have been a burnt corpse by now!”
“… ….”
At the enraged words of Orca, White quietly avoided her gaze with a trembling expression.
And of course, such an attitude only made the Orca’s heat spread even more.
“You, really… ….”
The orca gritted its teeth while pretending to cry.
“…… Just wait and see, it won’t go over.”
She puffed out her cheeks and jerked her body around as if she didn’t need the orca.
“…… Hmm.”
And White had no choice but to quietly follow her, dribbling away in her sweat.
He must be too, because he didn’t say much, but he too was aware of his fault.
‘…… No matter how much, it was a little too much for me to be exposed to the flames.’
With a little help from her, she wouldn’t have been so angry.
‘It couldn’t be helped.’
She was not without words even as White.
At that moment, she could have missed her gap, an opportunity she had barely earned if she had given her even a little of her attention.
That’s why she just neglected her, and eventually succeeded in killing her Emel.
As a result, it would be inevitable to incur Orca’s wrath.
‘…… I was quite confident.’
Actually, I did it because I knew roughly that she wouldn’t die.
It would be quite rude to ask Orca to understand him.
That’s why she just kept her mouth shut, and White followed behind Orca, silencing even the sound of her footsteps.
‘Come to think of it, where is Master?’
Even so, what he remembered was about his own teacher.
Obviously, when Emel’s green thorn exposed her gap, I could feel her approaching at close range.
“… ….”
…… For some reason, now I can’t even feel any sense of discomfort, let alone a sign.
‘…… I’ll be fine.’
She feels strangely uneasy, but she believes that nothing will be as big as Asherani.
“Wait, Orca.”
“…… Go away!”
White accelerated her steps to apologize, albeit briefly, to Orca, who was spitting out her curse words.
… ….
…… Meanwhile.
Same time.
In a forest somewhere far away from the village, ‘Veltia’.
Ashera was tilting her head, dyeing her own gold with wonder.
“…… Serpia?”
…… By the sudden appearance of none other than his one and only subordinate.
“… ….”
With her dark black hair fluttering in the wind, Serpia’s dazed eyes once again shone.
Ashera’s eyes narrowed.
I don’t know when it started.
She said Serpia’s eyes seemed to be very cloudy.
“What’s up? You didn’t even give me an order and you suddenly showed up like this.”
…… Thinking so, Ashera cautiously flashed her hazy eyes.
A cool breeze passed through the two of them once, and naturally, a heavy atmosphere began to settle down.
