Chapter 347 – Nightmare Subjugation (4)
The center of the empire, the underground water.
A girl with bandages on both her hands clenched her fists.
“…Ha. I hate the basement.”
Bianca, who took a long breath, said, ‘Resurrected Fall’Upon encountering it, she recalled her memories of that time.
I just buried it deep, but the truth is I’m still afraid.
Fear of death.
And the fear of losing Eugene.
“Ha…Ha…Ha…Huh…”
Just thinking about her memory makes me feel short of breath and overflowing with tears.
Bianca never wanted to experience that again.
She just wants to marry Eugene, give birth to her 5 sons and 5 daughters, and live happily ever after.
“Therefore…”
For the sake of that future, she turns overflowing fear into murderous intent.
It’s not just fear.
Happiness, sadness, regret, despair, pain, anxiety, jealousy, the emotions you have in your heart right now are refined into pure intent to kill.
But… As much as love, leaving a piece behind.
Splat ─ Splat ─
A “Spreading nightmare” Appears in the underground water here and there, and at the same time, the unpleasant smell of animals passes the tip of the nose.
“…Entire.”
In the middle, sharp fangs shone through Bianca’s twitching lips.
The thing that filled her whole body was the dark flesh of the ‘spreading nightmare’ that tried to separate herself and her Eugene.
“I will kill you.”
Even the ‘spreading nightmare’, where the concept of fear does not exist, stopped breathing for a moment.
…And
Kwaaaaang—!
A ‘mad dog’ with glowing eyes in the dark began to rampage.
***
Southern part of the Empire, swamps.
A dark-haired girl took off her shoes, exposing her bare feet.
“No way, I didn’t know that a girl would say something like this…”
Clap—
The white cow’s foot touched the swamp.
“…It’s a relief to be apart from Mr. Seo.”
The reason Berlioz was wary of Baekso was ‘Strong spirit’ It’s not because it’s dangerous.
In terms of pure martial arts, the white warrior family is at the bottom of the twelve families.
“As far as the West is concerned… I don’t want to show the girl’s side like this.”
The true value of the white snake family, which Berlioz feared and feared, was poison.
Extreme poison of colorless, odorless, tasteless, and intangible
Still, in general, a body with accumulated mana naturally develops resistance to poison…
There is no resistance to the ‘poison of the white snake’ that Baek So-so developed once more.
Chi profit ─
Every time he took a step, his clothes melted one by one, unable to withstand the poison that Baeksoso spewed out.
Basasak—
In addition, from the place where the white cow’s skin wears out, plants become dry in an instant, and the flesh and bones of animals rot.
“If you don’t come out soon, you’ll melt and die, right?”
At the same time as Baek So-so’s words, the ‘spreading nightmare’ that had been dormant under the swamp burst out, unable to bear the pain of rotting alive.
“…Of course.”
Peeing────
It touches the silver thread that spreads like a spider’s web over the swamp, and the flesh is cut into chunks.
“…I won’t let you live just because you come out.”
──Kieeeee
The ‘spreading nightmares’ that survived with only shallow wounds among the silver thread hells scream at Baek So-so…
“…What? Whoops.”
He twisted the corner of his mouth at Baek So-so, whose hair was dyed pure white before he knew it.
At that moment, the ‘spreading nightmares’ realized that something was wrong.
“?
I feel terrible pain as if my nerves are being burned from the cut, and I feel a distorted voice and a shaky vision.
Kyareuk- kyareureuk–
Soon after, Baek So-so approached the ‘spreading nightmare’ whose five senses were completely destroyed and said with a small smile.
“…Only the West can reach the girl.”
***
Center of the empire. Hwangseong.
A place that has always been crowded with a large number of people is now infinitely quiet.
Emperor Reingram is fighting the ‘ancient monsters’ beyond the northern wall, and all the remaining people have evacuated.
“…”
Liana, who had been leaning against the empty throne alone, opened her eyes.
“…Yeah, it’s inconvenient after all. What is it that everyone covets so much?”
In terms of comfort, Eugene’s bed was much more comfortable.
She has tried various postures while sitting on the throne, but it is too hard and large, so even though it is a throne, it is not able to properly perform the role of a chair.
“Hmm… Shall we cut a little and give it to Yujin as a gift?”
If the scholars of the empire had heard of it, she would have been frightened.
Of course, Liana also knows that what people covet is power, not the throne itself.
But to Liana, including that, the throne was just an uncomfortable chair, and the only thing she could truly be comfortable with was by Eugene’s side.
“…Yeah, what do you think about that? Don’t you think it would make a nice present?”
When Liana looked behind her, she was waiting for four ‘spreading nightmares’ that appeared before she knew it.
When she first heard Eugene explain, she said that most of her enemies were low-to-intermediate levels.
However, just as sometimes there are exceptions like Liana among humans, there were exceptions in ‘Spreading Nightmare’ as well.
The exception was the four knights standing in front of Liana.
A knight in white armor and with a bow.
A knight in red armor and with a sword.
A knight in black armor and with a scale.
Finally, a knight with blue armor and a scythe.
Beings that are too out of the norm to be simply evaluated as ‘exceptions’.
“Ahahahaha…! Sorry! Sorry! Come to think of it, I said I was dumb…!”
Riana looked at them and smiled, narrowing her eyes.
‘…Is this more dangerous than I thought?’
My skin was tingling with the murderous spirits emitted by the knights.
How long has it been since you felt that you were in danger?
With her pounding heart, Liana licked her red lips.
Liana doesn’t have anything hidden like everyone else, nor does she retain the strength of her prime.
But…
Liana is Liana Lumenhark.
「Break ─ break ─ collapse」
The four knights evade Liana’s surprise attack, but the light that stretched out in her straight line follows Liana’s fingertips and suddenly changes direction.
Shuwook—!
Even in an unpredictable situation where the light was bent, the four knights reacted organically and cut off the light.
“Wow… That’s amazing ♪”
─Quaang!
The bouncing light smashed the chandelier on the ceiling, and shards of glass flew sparkling.
“…But as expected.”
「Spread ─ O light」
Light diffusely reflected through the shards of glass causes everything in the imperial family to disintegrate except for the throne where Liana sits.
Piyong—! Piyung─!!
Even in the midst of the bombardment of light pouring down like crazy, the four knights silently knocked out or avoided.
However, I did not intend to deal with all four of them with this from the beginning.
…Only one.
Orbit, which aimed only at the black knight from the beginning.
Like a frog in boiling water, she pointed her finger at the black knight, who had been unknowingly induced into a corner, and Liana whispered to her.
「Break ─ collapse」
Piyung─!
The black knight whose heart was pierced by the light fired from Liana’s fingertips instantly turned into dust and scattered.
“Huh! Just as planned! When I listened to the explanation, everything else should not fit in the end, but the scale was a little annoying… Come on! Then…”
Said Liana, her red eyes shining, raising her body from her throne.
“If I don’t wake up, it will end in an instant?”
***
“Haha…”
I let out a heavy breath and used my sword as a staff to support her body.
The guy who had been observing me without blinking an eye, sitting on her knees, until I removed the last ‘spreading nightmare’ except himself.
Kerr-
I swing my sword at the guy who came up to me like a joke, but I dodge it too easily.
「Slash ─ wind ─ blade」
The same goes for magic.
The moment I lick my lips, he moves as if he already knows what to use.
──Kyakyakyakyakyakyakyakyakyakyakyakyakyakyakya!
After repeating this over and over again, he laughed out loud, probably convinced that he was a stronger creature than me.
‘That’s not wrong…’
Excluding that guy, the number and quality of ‘spreading nightmares’ from this place were considerable.
Even though I knew this was going to happen, I couldn’t spare it and poured everything I had and could.
[Telekinesis]
Lastly, I surprise you with telekinesis that can now be used like limbs, but…
—Kekek…Kekekekekekekekekekeep!!
Again, this is too easy to avoid.
The guy used the computational power shared by the ‘Spreading Nightmare’ only to analyze me.
As a result, the final weapon for Eugene Calliope was born, which even I knew all the habits that I didn’t know.
“…Under.”
When I thought about it, I burst out laughing without even realizing it.
──Kurururrrr
It was okay for him to laugh, but his laugh stopped suddenly and growled like a threat.
“Yeah… I can’t beat you.”
Isn’t it natural
How can I beat a guy who knows all my weaknesses?
“…I mean.”
“Shadow”
Chew—!
When he stretched out his right hand, he grasped the sword of ‘Resurrected Corruption’ protruding from the shadows, and the ring on his left hand shimmered.
── Curry?
Seeing a technique he has never used before, he steps back to analyze it.
It was natural.
Because it is his characteristic that he does not move until he is sure of his victory.
“Thank you. Give it time to transform… Then finally.”
『Casual Reversal』
I steal Vivian’s magic and draw out the maximum power I can.
Aaaaa!
Become mine, the knowledge that is not mine is trying to devour me… But I use the ‘spiritual god’ to bring the initiative of the body to me.
“Ruler…”
After all the preparations, I took a slow step…
Chow-!
Accelerating in an instant, he cut off his right arm.
“…It’s the start of phase 2.”
