133 – cause
Charlotte carefully embraced the boy who was coughing up black blood as if regurgitating his entire intestines with magic and returned to the palace.
Serena watching the scene fiercely lit up the blue walls. Still, he did nothing more than stare to see if he was aware of the seriousness of the situation.
As soon as the boy arrived at the palace, he was placed in the middle of the room on the top floor, and a magic circle was placed near the boy’s body to block his movement.
Even that wasn’t enough, Charlotte even used defensive magic that twisted the space that had been left only as a theory to surround the entire room. It was a kind of insurance act.
Although I had never experienced using the magic properly due to the contradiction of the magic, it didn’t matter at all in the current situation.
There was no need to activate this level of defensive magic when dealing with small pikes who could buy enough time to recite the long chant needed to use magic.
Conversely, when facing something strong enough to require this level of defensive magic, there was no time to secure enough time to recite the long chant of the spell.
However, for now, it was okay not to consider such contradictions. Because Charlotte wasn’t trying to fight that thing.
The boy’s body was constantly shaking. Black tears flowed down through his half-open eyelids, and black blood gushed out from his mouth.
It was a liquid that looked exactly like the one that flowed through the body of the black blood monster that the boy had been so confident in catching and killing Nao.
Serena was next to the boy who was covered in black blood and then returned. Kneeling on the floor, her gaze fixed on her lord as if nailed to it.
Serena didn’t even move except for a specific movement that was shown for a very short time. If someone I didn’t know saw it, it was clear that they would have misunderstood that time had stopped.
The only time the golden ponytail fluttered was when the severed limbs of the boy were restored to their original state.
It was to cut off the limbs that had been attached to the body again.
The repeated action of cutting off the arms and legs that had finished regenerating, then kneeling down and waiting tirelessly for the severed parts to reattach.
At first, only the legs were cut off, but the boy who had lost his legs tried to go somewhere even by crawling on the ground with his arms, so he had no choice but to cut off his arms as well.
Even at this moment, the boy’s body was wriggling like a fish pulled out of the water, trying to get out of the magic circle.
However, Charlotte was sure the boy was not completely unconscious.
It was a conclusion he made after seeing with his own eyes that it took about 10 seconds for the severed limbs to recover.
Without the intervention of certain external factors or the boy’s strong will, the time it took for the super-regeneration ability to work and the body to restore itself was around 3 seconds.
If I tried to delay recovery as much as possible, that time increased to almost 10 seconds. So, of course, you can’t think of anything other than that you still have a will.
And that was in line with the meaning that the boy was somehow resisting the curse even after he had turned into that kind of person.
‘What on earth is that woman?’
Charlotte groaned inwardly. No matter how you think about it, the boy turned into that kind of person was the girl he met with Charlotte.
Presumably, the word ‘teacher’ acted as a kind of catalyst. Right after hearing that, things started to get weird, and eventually this situation came to a head.
Thanks to that, I couldn’t even hear the answer to what kind of relationship her husband had with that bitch. The boy was in no condition to answer the question at all.
So Charlotte did not take issue with the boy’s attitude.
Of course, right after meeting the boy, his eyes went wide with anger, but now that some time had passed, he was in a state of deep understanding.
At first, I thought he was simply hiding a new girl. That was the reason why Charlotte exploded in anger, and why she cut her throat without hesitation.
This was after I sensed something was wrong. So, the thought that something might have happened came to the fore.
‘However, I did not completely close my eyes, dear. This question will have to be answered someday.’
Of course, I had no intention of going beyond Eoyeongbuyeong. No matter when it was, I was going to question it very clearly. It’s just that the moment of questioning is not now.
Charlotte floated the magic circle in her hand and began to interpret something acting on the boy’s body.
Charlotte also knew a few magics that could be activated through a specific word or a specific thought. It was clear that something that consumed the boy’s body was some kind of magic.
My head was constantly spinning. I scraped together even the slightest clues, and recalled all the knowledge that might have even the slightest relevance.
First of all, the black blood that her husband vomited out had almost exactly the same composition as the blood of the black monsters he had dealt with so far.
It must have been because of Charlotte and Serena who happened to be next to him.
However, the two bloods did not match perfectly, and exactly what is different has yet to be identified. It took more time to do that.
‘We cannot rule out the possibility that the bitch who dared to call my father a teacher created a black-blooded monster.’
The fog lifted little by little. The knot in Charlotte’s head was slowly untied. It felt like opening my eyes.
made up a scenario.
In the past, long before Charlotte was even born, there was an incident between the boy and the bitch, and black magic and black blood monsters were born due to that incident.
The boy, of course, knew the background of the black blooded monster’s birth, so he was extremely wary of them and asked to kill all those in sight, and he himself tried to forget the girl.
However, since the damn bitch reappeared in the world, the magic on the boy’s body was activated again due to a certain opportunity, and it reached the current situation.
It was a scenario with no particular flaws, but it was a scenario that was hard to fully affirm.
The evidence was too weak. Except for one thing, that there was some sort of relationship between her husband and the damn bitch, it was all Charlotte’s speculation.
If the Royal Magicians had succeeded in making such an inference, Charlotte would have judged that it was not even worth verifying and killed her by blowing her head off on the spot.
I put that aside in a corner of my head and thought of another scenario.
Exactly, I was trying to remember.
It was almost the same time that the pair of sapphires, which reflected the blue sea, stared at the door of the room, and the blood-soaked ruby sensed the incongruity of the detection magic.
“Looks like there’s one more.”
“It’s that year.”
voices overlapped.
“I’ve noticed this too, so don’t make a loud noise and stay shut, Commander of the 1st Royal Knights. This is an order from your lord of four years.”
“You are the one who quietly sits in a corner. Don’t disturb me unnecessarily.”
Serena stood up with those words. Before doing so, she did not forget to faithfully dismember her lord, who was about to finish recovering and crawl somewhere.
Charlotte’s eyes narrowed in anger.
As far as the sense of incongruity felt now, there was nothing wrong with Serena’s words. From the moment the bitch approaching the room burst into the room, what Charlotte could do was extremely limited.
Of course, apart from that, the bubbling inside couldn’t be helped. My teeth were chipped.
The defensive magic spread throughout the palace disappeared at once. Right after that, Quaang! The entire palace shook with a tremendous roar of the castle gates exploding.
Serena created a wind shear in her right hand. I couldn’t put on mana, but fortunately it didn’t seem like I couldn’t manifest the wind shear itself.
The booming sound of blows got closer and closer. Serena grabbed the wind shear, which was completely transparent without mana, with both hands.
A voice came through the door.
“This lamb dares to go before God.”
Suddenly, the door made of adamantium was crumpled and twisted like a piece of paper. The hinge holding the door was about to be ripped off.
A fist pierced through the adamantium that was well over 10 cm in length. It was a monstrosity that did not match at all with his thin appearance.
The fist slipped away for a moment, then slender fingers grabbed the edge. Then he began to widen the gap by tearing apart the adamantium with force.
A pair of yellow eyes shone through the widening gap. As always with Charlotte and Serena, her amber eyes were full of life.
The hole in the door got bigger and bigger until it was big enough for one person to get in and out. The fact that it was made of adamantium became meaningless.
A woman in a nun’s uniform stepped into the room.
Her brown hair, down to her chest, fluttered around her underbust. The ripe peach skin was slightly reddened.
With each step, the large breasts, which would be far short of being simply described as large, swayed enchantingly, drawing a form that was art itself.
It was a simple black nun’s uniform without any decorations, but rather, it made her ignorant-sized breast stand out even more.
The waist of the nun’s garb was cut deep just above the pelvis, and underneath was a white garter belt that half covered her thighs.
Between the garter belt and the nun’s uniform, her thighs, a color similar to her face, could be clearly seen.
From that small mouth, a bit of hate spewed out.
“What have you done to my god?”
It was Christine.
