Escape (2)

Resembling the sound of a beast, it was definitely the cry of a demon beast.

It didn’t take long to realize that it was a sound signaling a crisis of life.

There’s no doubt that there’s no threat behind it…

‘No really… Didn’t you?’

Yuria reflexively let go of Libya’s hand and threw herself forward using wind magic.

The next moment, the sound of the demon’s teeth engaging each other was heard in the place where Yuria was.

Yuria, who had rolled over on the floor, immediately turned around, breathing heavily.

And for a moment I forgot to breathe.

A black beast resembling a leopard, exuding mighty and ferocious energy, stood in front of the water-colored girl.

When and how such a monster appeared, Yuria did not know.

“Don’t avoid it. President.”

The girl spoke in a voice that made her conversation chilly, her eyes glowing darkly in the dark.

The hairs all over her body stood up as if a sharp, cold sword had been draped down her neck.

“…you, that witch.”

how? YuRia, who was about to say the word, couldn’t continue.

It was because demonic beasts of various shapes began to appear around the girl one by one, as if protruding from the darkness.

There were beasts resembling tigers, beasts resembling wolves, and even beasts resembling crocodiles.

Those witches showed open hostility to Yuria, following Libya’s fleshy eyes.

‘At least it’s a wrecking class monster.’

YuRia thought while looking at the demons.

Powerful monsters that can deal with 100 normal soldiers as a group.

To think that such a witch is following that one girl.

YuRia felt her blood run cold.

Horror raised its head, saying that it was here.

“…Kill.”

Libya cast soundproofing magic all over the area, including the resting room.

Then, pointing at Yuria, he coldly commanded.

Only then did Yuria realize.

Why did Leonhardt imprison this girl in the basement?

What did you release and what mistakes did you make?

That girl was able to control the Witchbeast, though she didn’t know how that was possible.

“…something happened somewhere I don’t know!”

Yuria was angry at the fact that something beyond her control had happened at this academy.

She skillfully used her magic on the demons attacking her.

The moment her specialty, flame magic, reached the beast, the leopard-like beast that jumped in first caught fire.

Then, Yuria created several spheres of flame that rotated around her.

The magical beasts approaching YuRia’s body were instantly consumed by the spheres that were fired.

‘This is not enough!’

The first few times may be of use.

However, it was difficult even for Yuria to deal with a disintegrating monster without sufficient preparation.

And it’s not just one, especially if it’s this number.

YuRia, who immediately turned around and tried to run away, turned white from embarrassment.

At the entrance to the resting room, three demons, including a black tiger, were already guarding Yuria from leaving.

“You can’t run away, sir.”

Livia laughed as if she enjoyed seeing Yuria like that.

“Oh, really excited. Also, I might like something like this. It’s good to be loved by seniors… You might also want to win.”

“What is that… you will regret it Do you know what it means to kill me?”

“yes!”

Livia delicately closed her eyes at those words and nodded excitedly.

“I can monopolize the love of seniors!”

what?

For a moment, YuRia felt like she had been hit by a goal.

What do you mean?

If senpai is referring to Leonhard, then that child is…

However, YuRia was not given the time to continue her thoughts.

Embarrassed by Livia’s words, while she let her guard down for a moment, the beast rushed closer to Yuria.

Sharp claws grazed Yuria’s body.

“Kyaaak!”

Barely pulling back to avoid it, Yuria set the beast’s body on fire.

that was the patch

While the magic that was protecting her was weakened due to mental agitation, the magic beasts rushed at YuRia.

Yuria widened her eyes in fear.

The beasts all at once sharpened their claws and opened their mouths dripping with saliva.

He knew what would happen when the sharp tips of those monsters touched him, even without imagining it.

I will be torn to shreds, and I will die that way.

It will probably disappear without a form.

Even so, YuRia tried not to avert her eyes.

YuRia recalled the devastating consequences she faced when she turned a blind eye after abandoning her mother in the fierce political strife of the cold imperial family.

YuRia now knew that she must never avert her eyes under any circumstances.

But is there an answer here?

The moment the monster’s huge mouth approached like an abyss, Yuria had a question.

I kept keeping my eyes open, but the truth was that I couldn’t see anything.

Not to mention, this time he couldn’t even save his own life.

If so, it might be more comfortable to close your eyes before you die.

squeak.

However, because Yuria kept her eyes open, she was able to discover the salvation that came to her.

The heads of the ten demon beasts were cut off at once, spewing black blood.

Slightly curly black hair fluttered in front of YuRia’s eyes.

The dazzling gold eyes locked between the long eyelashes inadvertently caught Yuria in her field of vision and then passed by.

“Your Highness, did you call me by any chance?”

Leonhardt spoke to Yuria.

It was a nonchalant voice, but Yuria’s tension was relieved by that voice.

“…Leonhard.”

“yes. It sounds like you’re calling, I’m here.”

Leonhardt said that and swung an old longsword that was stained with the swords of the Witchbeasts surrounding Libya and wiped off the blood.

YuRia looked at the boy’s back and squeezed the necklace the boy gave her.

Not wanting the boy to see the tears welling up, Yuria quickly rubbed her eyes and wiped them away.

One day when I was 10 years old. The boy who kissed the back of his hand recalled his oath.

YuRia’s heart swelled.

But the boy’s eyes were already looking elsewhere.

YuRia’s eyes, which had been shining like the sun, cooled down like cold ice and stared at Libya.

“It’s time to go back to being a good kid.”

The boy quietly declared.

“Libya.”

.

.

.

To be honest, this was a bit of a prick on my conscience.

I wanted to test whether Livia was really a good kid.

Maybe it’s okay to liberate Libya a little faster.

It’s not that I bully Libya because I want to bully it, and I’m obsessed with it because I want to obsess it.

Faster is better if you can.

And there were some groundwork for that test.

I set the setting so that the restraints that were controlling Libya would be released naturally the moment I left the room.

After that, it was necessary to entice me to attack the object I hated for absurd reasons, such as Libya being with me or being a trivial threat to me.

I’m sorry, but I used YuRia.

It was a fact that I already knew that Yuria was following me.

I deliberately gave YuRia time to go into the basement and waited outside.

If Libya attacked YuRia, the sound could leak out, so with the soundproofing magic cast.

If Libya didn’t attack Yuria, I was thinking of acknowledging her as a good child.

And I sincerely hoped that would happen.

My wish was not very useful.

Libya didn’t notice the soundproofing magic I had spread beforehand, and the moment I opened the soundproofing magic, I did it just in case.

And as expected, Libya summoned a demon with the purpose of killing Yuria.

In the end, I had no choice but to intervene like this.

The reason why she didn’t come forward until the last moment was because she wanted Yuria to quietly cover this up later.

At the moment of crisis, at least the words will work.

‘It’s too calculated.’

I self-evaluated myself.

Even so, I made the best possible excuse for my own distortion, saying that it was for everyone’s sake.

Because that made me feel better.

Poorly and lovingly, Libya was already trembling all over.

“Stop, senior.”

I walked slowly towards Libya.

The moment Libya hesitated and stepped back, I was already in front of Libya.

[Iljin Grenade]

[A sword sealed by the wind god Markeld with his powers.

The owner is aided by all winds, from gentle breezes to maddening gusts.

This means that the owner has become a person who can obtain speed beyond initial speed.

In a time when everything except yourself seems slow, the owner will be reborn as the strongest being.]

Since the current level of the seeker is 5, I was able to unlock the 5 strongest weapons.

Currently, I was using one of them.

This strongest weapon is a light sword right before the highest grade, so it can only be used for about 30 seconds, but that was enough for this weapon.

I slowly cut myself so that the beasts could not move in the time when everything seemed slow because I myself had become too fast.

I didn’t kill him because I had one intention, just enough to render him incapacitated.

Then he approached cautiously and stood in front of Libya.

“Libya.”

When I called, Livia was startled and widened her eyes.

I smiled deeply while looking at Livia, and gently placed my hand on her quivering cheek.

I was so terrified that Libya scattered only thin breathing toward my wrist.

I ran my thumb over Libya’s thin, quivering lower lip, and brought my lips to her ear to whisper.

“why? don’t you do more? What were you trying to do before, why don’t you try it?”

Livia closed her eyes tightly.

Transparent tears flowed down her flawless white skin from her swollen red eyes.

“…Well, I was wrong. senior.”

I slowly put a smile on my lips.

“why? Are the magic beasts not listening?”

At my question, Libya slowly moved her head, expressing weak agreement.

The monsters around Libya have long since lost the thought of attacking me.

The injured Witchbeasts whimpered and clung to me as if pleading.

It was the first time Libya had witnessed that the art of composition, which she had devoted her entire life to, had now completely collapsed on me.

Complete helplessness.

What I was trying to do was to instill in Libya the conviction that no matter what you do, you can’t escape.

“…Good, senpai.”

Libya collapsed as if she had lost strength in her legs.

I stared coldly at Libya, who was looking up at me with tears streaming down her face.

Livia must have interpreted that gaze and started rubbing her hands together, trembling even more than before.

“Stop, senior. really. I was really wrong. black… Whoa… I wonder how I’ve been for a while. that’s this… ”

Libya frantically rubbed her hands together, tears pouring out of her eyes incessantly to the extent that her azure eyes were barely visible.

“Oops, I was wrong. senior. I’m sorry. please forgive me.”

Libya approached me from a kneeling position, dragging her knees.

“senior. I’ll be a really good kid. I’ll be real. I won’t do that again. I will listen to what you say very carefully.”

I slowly reached for Livia’s small round head, which looked up at me right at my feet and begged desperately.

When I touched her, Libya stopped pleading and sighed, forgetting even to breathe.

“Libya.”

I gently wrapped my arms around Livia’s shoulders.

Livia gasped, reaching out and placing her hands on my arms.

I couldn’t bear to hang on to it, so I couldn’t even put a weight on it, and it was pitiful and cute to see it trembling with only my hands on it.

“yes. senior.”

“I gave you a chance, but you lost it.”

“yes. Oh, I know. I was wrong.”

“How can I compensate for that? do you want to get out Or will you be punished?”

I asked her

Livia widened her eyes.

You probably thought your heart stopped.

Every time I made a mistake, my father told me over and over again that she was saying something similar.

The mistake was mainly that Libya did not kill people out of pity.

“… I… Is… ”

And whenever that happened, Libya was given three options.

He had to choose between killing his own mother, taking the life of an assassination target, or being set free.

Libya eventually chose to complete its mission.

I couldn’t kill my mother. However, it was impossible to choose liberation over mother.

Between those heartless choices, that was the only thing Libya could do.

Twisted affection is born that way.

Weak Libya.

You must not have been such a child.

“friend… punishment… ”

Libya squeezed her hand on my forearm until it turned white.

Exhaling heavily, I could see him trying to squeeze out an option.

I felt so sorry for her fighting between despair and trauma, but I waited in silence.

Libya must decide.

Will you run away from me, or will you be a good child and stay in my arms.

“punishment… I’ll get it. I will be punished. senior. Senior, please do as you wish.”

I smiled lightly at Libya.

“okay. You answered well.”

I said as I hugged Libya.

Then, holding her gently, he slipped his hands under her thighs and lifted them up.

Livia was trembling in my arms like a baby.

“majesty. I’ll come down for a while.”

YuRia, who had been watching the scene blankly, came to her senses and nodded.

In the first place, there was nothing I could do about it.

I went down to the good boy’s room again with Livia.

I felt very sorry for Libya, who trembled quietly like a young animal in front of a beast, but I decided to endure the pain in my heart.

“Libya.”

I said as I sat Libya on the iron chair.

“yes. senior. Now, I was wrong.”

Livia nodded frantically with a meaningless apology.

I kissed her like a feather under her teary eyes and whispered.

“I want you to know that I value Libya.”

Livia widened her eyes at my words.

like shocked. And after a while, Livia smiled bitterly.

“Me too. senior.”

Libya’s words were almost like crying, but I fully understood them.

clap.

I put the handcuffs and shackles on Libya again, which had fallen off for a while.
