36 – Red Calamity (4)

Near the inn where Nel left.

I thought about the second character.

“If there is Nell, there must be Chandra Pale…”

The Black Knight and Jinjo.

They were relatively recent characters I played right before making Snow Woman.

Probably they also fell on the continent 11 years ago when I interlocked.

I don’t know how I lived.

It looks like Nell wasn’t going smoothly, but what about Chandra Pale…?

“…What the hell is the progress of the scenario.”

The two probably have nothing to do with each other.

The system message came up after killing the snake god.

Because of that, I lived in hiding and came out to the sound of the red disaster.

I can’t believe that was the character I created.

“If you follow the setting, it will be possible to solve the curse of blood.”

There was nothing difficult about it.

All I had to do was go to the Snow Castle and bring one thing.

But is it the right choice to remove her penalty and leave her free?

The scenario could be twisted at any time by the two people who were not there originally.

The Red Disaster Incident was an example of this.

I struggled.

“I can’t do anything about them…”

No, I don’t even have the ability to do that.

Anyway, I had to make a decision.

While I was thinking about it, a person came out of the inn.

It was Cigna.

“·······.”

Her cheeks were red as if she was swallowing shame.

She looked around, saw this and ran.

“Hey there! Mr. Quilly!”

As soon as I arrived, I expressed my dissatisfaction.

“Why?”

“Why? Why?!”

Cigna with a mischievous expression followed my words and puffed out his cheeks again.

“Why! Why! Do you know what happened to me?!”

“What happened?”

“It was a disgrace! It was a disgrace! I almost suffered a disgrace!”

“I see.”

I was relieved inside.

I’m glad you got out.

Rather than that, I had to think about what to do next.

“If I had an opponent, it would have been better! What did they think when they saw me lying all alone!”

“Let’s go back to the guild for now.”

“If you saw those cold stares… Hey there! Listen to me!”

As long as there is a hint that someone deliberately intervened, it will not be resolved by resolving the curse.

I had to dig up their identities first.

Cigna hurriedly followed my steps without hesitation.

“You’re really cold! You’re so proud. Why don’t you go and live in the Ice Mountains?”

“Hmph,” Cigna pouted.

It was a strangely sharp joke.

I glanced at her neck. There were clear fang marks.

“How’s your neck?”

When I pointed to that part of her and asked, she put her hand on it. An awkward smile rose.

“Ummm… Well, I don’t know what to say about this…”

“Does it hurt?”

“… When I ask if it hurts, it surprisingly doesn’t hurt, but what should I say… Subtle? Strange…?”

He himself was puzzling.

Intense curiosity piqued within.

How do you feel?

Even I, who painstakingly crafted each setting, does not know the sensation of being vampiric.

“If you’re curious, how about taking a bite?”

“I’m not really curious.”

She cut off her curiosity at Cigna’s words of longing for the sun. Since ancient times, curiosity has been known to kill even cats.

The road leading to the guild.

It was time to pass through an empty lot with few people.

“I wasn’t particularly curious… Huh?!”

Cigna, who was mumbling, raised her head and looked back at me urgently.

“Mr. Quilly!”

There was no explanation.

However, since I knew her ability, I judged that she wouldn’t have time to do that.

No matter what, we were in a crisis right now.

“···!”

Having concluded that, I acted.

However, I couldn’t tell from which direction the threat was, let alone the location of the opponent.

Unity is defense.

Kwaaah-!

Ice particles rose like a fountain and wrapped around Cigna.

Simple Barrier… No, magic that can be classified as a barrier.

I was calling it the ‘Ice Wall’.

Fan-!

Simultaneous fireballs came from all directions.

It was a sharp impact, like a rock from a catapult hitting the wall.

“Ah. Wow. aaa!”

Cigna’s nervous voice.

Regardless of its severity, the barrier did not budge. I smiled at the thought that Heaven was on my side.

Fire property.

Compatibility advantage.

“…Amazing.”

When the attack stopped, a bald man jumped out of the shadows. He was wearing a black robe engraved with fireballs.

An unforgettable symbol.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

“The Dark Saints.”

“Oh, do you know?”

The man smiled rottenly.

“You’re still interfering with our work. Are you crazy about wanting to die?”

It was great confidence.

It was worth it.

Looking at the power just now, he was by no means an ordinary believer. Judging by the pattern engraved on the robe, it’s probably the Seven Apostles.

Chaeeng!

“Do you know each other? With him?”

Cigna made a fuss as he pulled out his rapier. It’s a sloppy attitude, but trust has gone.

She is a gold plated adventurer, with considerable power.

“No.”

I shook my head and looked at the man.

There was no need to be afraid of the Seven Apostles or anything.

Because there were two of us, and the relationship was superior.

It went well.

Since the seven apostles are of no use to the white sea, at least one of them should be eliminated.

“You don’t have to know.”

Looking straight at it, it created magic in the retina.

‘Winter’s Watch’ broke the man’s balance.

“······What!”

Momentary surprise.

A cold breath rushed in before the unresponsive apostle could straighten his posture.

Saaa-

It must have been embarrassing, but the apostle managed to escape.

The ends of Hana’s robes were frozen.

He shuddered as he felt the rising chill.

“Are humans capable of handling this level of attribute power…?”

There was bewilderment and confusion.

“… That’s impossible!”

I worked my magic nonstop.

I had to push myself before I regained my form.

The swollen snowball rotated and floated up.

A technique I named ‘Snowball’.

Although the power was weak, it was easy to control and was good to use quickly.

Whoa!

The approaching snowballs.

The man hurriedly summoned a fireball to respond. Fire and snow collided in the air and oxidized.

At times like this, I could see why the great men valued a calm response.

“Oops…!”

All the snowballs disappeared, but the apostle, whose counterattack was late, could not block the series attack.

Before he knew it, a cold breath was in front of his nose. He opened his eyes and froze.

“Wow. Wow…!”

Cigna admired the series of events.

She even clapped her hands.

Feeling proud for some reason, I walked proudly and leisurely.

“Let’s listen now.”

The duration of freezing is not long.

I had to get information from it.

The man with only the top of his neck looking blankly at me.

“Why did you attack?”

Apparently he shouted that I interfered with ‘our business’. Did I touch the Dark Saints’ Association without knowing it?

The bald head smiled dejectedly.

“…You are indeed the one who saved the red catastrophe. For what purpose did you help it?”

“The Red Disaster?”

“It was stronger than I imagined, but… I wonder if it’s safe to turn the Church of God and the Dark Saints into enemies at the same time…”

The man muttered like a madman.

Was Nel the cause? It was a very rough life.

It’s a situation that has been stamped by two giant powers.

“It was you.”

I was convinced of his words.

The culprit behind the scheme that gave Nell the nickname of disaster. It was also the work of the Dark Saints.

There was no great purpose in saving Nell.

“Nell is not a disaster.”

Still, I have to say something.

I glared at the lowly evil cadre and spat coldly.

“Don’t bring it on your own. The shadow of an absurd disaster.”

My vision was stained blue, perhaps because of the heightened emotions.

The apostle’s face hardened.

“How dare you…! A black calamity! A true savior will leave you alone—”

“Noisy. Miscellaneous.”

Opening his hand, he activated the ‘Ice Spear’.

In terms of power, it was a skill that was on a different level from other magic. After a considerable amount of mana was consumed, the spear was completed.

“Disappear.”

I was going to shoot it right into the man’s heart.

The moment the apostle, feeling his end, closed his mouth, Cigna shouted.

“…Mr. Quilly! Left!”

“!”

After reflexively turning around, I immediately dodged.

A black whirlpool swept past the spot where I was standing just now.

I frowned and moved my gaze.

A new person has been placed next to the bald man.

A whirlpool painted on a black robe.

Seven Apostles Adain.

“Bringel…”

He swung his hand and unwrapped it.

Bringel, who had regained his complexion, stood next to him triumphantly.

“Welcome, Adain. Good timing.”

“·······.”

I was nervous.

There were two of the Seven Apostles. They’re still strong opponents, but two of them.

I hurried as much as I could to catch my guard, but now it wouldn’t work.

“A woman who interfered with the great work of the Saints’ Association. She’s not an average person, but if you and I join forces—”

“No.”

It is impossible to go alone anymore.

While trying to ask Cigna for help, Ardain shook her head like her machine.

“No. Bringel. We are not the opponents…”

His complexion was swarthy.

From noble mtl dot com

He stared at me with a cold sweat and a pale face.

“When did you come back? God’s apostle! No, maybe…”

He was about to say something, but he shook his head.

Silence fell for a moment. Me, Cigna, and Bringel all blinked.

“What are you talking about?”

“…Come to think of it, I didn’t tell you. There’s no time to explain. Look at that. That calm and weak figure!”

Adaine pointed at me with a trembling hand.

Certainly, on the outside, I was easy-going. My stomach is festering.

Adaine threw up with difficulty, shaking her chest.

“The power is insufficient. We must retreat.”

“What? Hey, retreat! I have to pay back the humiliation I’ve suffered—- billion!”

Adain quickly moved away from the questioning Bringel.

In the meantime, he even showed meticulousness by scattering black mist, as if he was worried that I would come after him.

Fighting-!

The sound of footsteps quickly faded.

It was a desperate speed, as if facing the final boss.

“·······?”

I just tilted my head.

What is it? The day I met Adain surfaced vaguely. Did you get a trauma from that time?

“Quill, Quilly… No, Mr. Quilière…?”

The tone seems to have created a sense of distance.

Cigna smiled vaguely.

“Have I done anything wrong…?”

“·······.”

She must have misunderstood something.

Things went well.

Anyway, I didn’t do anything wrong.

“It was worth the money.”

I was mostly alone in the battle, but her ears helped a lot.

She sighed and took the lead.

“The Dark Saints…”

Together with disasters, they are the source of all evil.

They were trying to play tricks with a second character like my child.

Pests that must be eliminated for the correct scenario.

Cheack-!

The cold air that spreads when you swing your hand.

The thick black fog lifted and the clear sunlight shone.

City-state Euristia.

The place, which was just a remote city, has achieved remarkable growth in just 10 years.

It was the result of Toho’s talents shining through, but the remnants of the music box and Han Misin were also indispensable.

Toho’s mansion.

In the drawing room, Lassithea Crasse was elegantly dressed.

Even though she was the head of household, she faced the opponent in front of her as an equal.

“·······.”

It wasn’t in her favor.

Surprisingly, this was the consideration of her opponent, not her.

Prince of the Empire, Artan Pricus.

He casually took a sip of the tea.

-No, Your Highness! Your Highness is alone! Knowing what would happen…

– Toho of Euristia is not an idiot. Will you openly attack me?

Guards were waiting near the imperial carriage in front of the mansion.

Vice-captain Hill Oz stopped the conversation, but Artan didn’t listen.

-And considerate comes first.

That was his conviction.

Since I came here to get information, I had to save face first. It was enough to sharpen the blade when the opponent fell out of favor.

“What is the matter with His Highness the Crown Prince?”

Lasithea grinned.

It was a natural smile, but not from the heart.

Artan, who spent a long time in the court, knew.

So he didn’t bother wearing a mask.

“I saw the picture.”

“A painting?”

“It was titled Fallen God.”

Artan recalled what happened a while ago.

He couldn’t hide his astonishment when he saw her work at the World Exhibition.

A woman whose eyes resemble black snakes.

······Quillière.

The salvation and desire of my childhood was there.

“The Fallen God…”

The prince quietly watched the reciting Lasitea.

In the meantime, he also investigated the mysterious woman all the time, but there was no result.

Because of this, I forgot the customs and hurriedly ran to the clue I had barely met.

“It’s the same title as my work.”

Meanwhile, Lasitea finished understanding his words.

There is no way that the crown prince himself would travel this far unless it was an extraordinary event.

If she focused on the fallen god, there is only one reason.

It was enough content to rush forward.

It went well.

Because I don’t have to go to meet you here.

I was at a loss as to how to make an appointment with the crown prince.

“Did you like the work?”

The silence of the music box enveloped the room.

It was returned after the exhibition was over.

Artan threw it straight at her joke.

“You saw her her.”

“Yes. For now.”

Looking back, it was a bit strange situation.

It was like we had the same thoughts after seeing each other’s work.

A clue about a woman.

The key was who knew more.

The prince asked back at Lasithea’s affirmation.

“Is the snake in the picture… From ten years ago?”

“I didn’t know that His Highness the Crown Prince would even know. It’s just as he said.”

The snake god who took control of Euristia and his subjugation.

The details were rumored, but the outline was famous.

A beautiful woman wearing a snake god has eradicated it······.

“Is that her?”

“Yes?”

“The person who killed the snake god.”

It was just a check.

Lasithea nodded without hesitation.

She thought that this conversation would do her good.

The fact that the crown prince, who must have seen her work later than she did, had already visited her, which in itself was proof of her impatience.

There was heat in Artan’s eyes.

He leaned out a little and pryed at me.

“Do you know who she is?”

“… Huh?”

“If you don’t know, other trivial things are fine. For example…”

But the questions were strange.

Isn’t it that she doesn’t have a sense of her?

In response, Lasitéa realized that her own amount of information was superior.

“Ah . . . Yes. Her Snake God corpse was conceded by her. She stayed in the city for less than a week.”

I was disappointed and a little happy at the same time.

Isn’t that also the goodwill that a higher-dimensional being gave to himself?

“…?”

Thinking so, I suddenly felt the prince’s behavior strange.

He doesn’t know her identity.

I can’t get a feel for it.

Far from the premise of an absolute existence, they had only found one clue in ten years.

If that’s the case, how could the crown prince of the empire be so obsessed? It wasn’t just an interest.

Just like…

“Foot.”

Lasithea laughed.

It was a different smile than before.

She tried to persevere, but failed.

“Why are you laughing?”

Artan frowned as if he had read the atmosphere. Rash Thea, who had been shaking her long shoulders, finally calmed down.

“Ah… I’m sorry. Please understand.”

She even shed her tears.

That was a bad attitude. She knew her too well.

However, it was too funny.

I wiped my tears and put on the brightest smile in recent years.

“Your Highness, the Crown Prince, doesn’t know anything about him.”

How can I not laugh?

With such a foolish man in front of me.

To dare to worship a god with a human body…
