Chapter 348 – Nightmare Subjugation (5)
The center of the Empire, Carnea.
Lucia looked up at the sky and prayed.
She didn’t even know who she was praying to.
It didn’t matter if she was a goddess or whoever, if this prayer would be heard.
“Please…”
May everyone be safe…
And I hope Eugene is safe…
As I was begging and begging again and again, suppressing my desire to run out at once, someone knocked on the door roughly and shouted.
“Lucia-sama!…The first flare has been fired!”
“…Everyone please wait.”
If the smoke rising from the flare is red, it is a failure, and if it is blue, it is a success.
Lucia is anxiously waiting for the color of the signal flare.
Fushuuyung—! Perong!
Blue smokeHas risen
“Blue!… The subjugation of Adelfade Village is a success!”
Before I could get excited about the news of the first successful subjugation, the next smoke rose.
“Check the blue smoke in the Messianic Plain! Subjugation is a success!”
“We succeeded in subjugating Shiai Forest!”
“Guardian’s Square… The subjugation is a success!”
“Blue smoke!! This is the Martinique coast!”
I thought the Martinique coast could be dangerous, but Lilith did it right.
“…Uh..? Vi…Vivian has returned! The subjugation… Was successful!”
“Is Vivian back?”
From Mines Cliff to Carnea, it’s hardly a distance that can be reached in one day, so how…?
I’ve heard that question for a while, but now is not the time to figure it out.
“Yes! There are no injuries, but I am exhausted from using too much mana!”
“…All right. Let me rest as comfortably as possible for now.”
“Yes!… Ah! The central sewer subjugation is a success!”
Bianca
“The subjugation of the Kalos Swamp is a success!”
White cow
“Hwangseong… The subjugation is a success!!!”
Liana
The news of victory is heard from all over the place.
Even in situations where she should be happy, Lucia can’t be happy.
‘…Who is the master?’
The news of victory continues to be heard, but for some reason, only the news about the Pale Gorge where Eugene is located is not heard until the end.
“…Master.”
Kwak-
Lucia’s blood runs down between her clenched fists in nervousness.
“Uh! Pale Gorge… The signal flare is up!”
“…Ah!”
Finally, Eugene’s signal that he had been waiting for.
Rather than listen to the report, Lucia ran to the window and checked it herself.
Fushuwook─!
From the flare that soared high into the sky…
Pew!
…Red smokeHas risen
“Pale…Pale Gorge…Subjugation failed! Lucia-sama’s orders!!…Lucy──────”
Eugene lost.
Unlike other places, Eugene knew from the start that it was a fight with a slim chance of winning, but…
The sound fades away and the blood in the whole body goes cold.
I know that I have to react quickly, even if it’s just one second.
But her head just can’t turn.
Kwaaaaak─
If we send people to the canyon right now, we might be able to stop the ‘spreading nightmare’.
But what about the owner?
Even if you send reinforcements right away, it will take overnight at the earliest.
In the meantime, what will happen to Eugene?
The more I thought about it, the more desperate the situation, the moment Lucia was about to break her spirit.
“Ahhh…”
“Lu… Lusia-sama!!”
When I looked up at her warm arms and familiar voice, I saw a haggard Vivian hugging me.
“V…Bian…Vivian…I…I…Uh…What should I do…Lord…Master…”
“Lucia-sama…It’s okay!”
Vivian hugged the panicked Lucia tightly.
“…It’s okay…It’s okay…Because…!!!
“B… Vivian.”
“So… Lucia-sama. Wake up. I don’t have time to waste now. I have to go to Eugene.”
I was barely able to come to my senses when I saw Vivian comforting me until the end, even though she looked like she was about to burst into tears at any moment.
Aww—!!
Lucia hit herself hard on the cheek.
She barely came to her senses as the taste of blood filled her mouth.
“…Okay, let’s go, Vivian.”
“Yes… Lucia-sama. This way.”
Vivian covered a distance that would normally take days in just a few hours.
The reason why this was possible was because he repeated the crazy act of flying while using explosive magic as a problowjobnt.
“…I’m sorry.. Right now… My magic power… Is lacking… I’ll take care of the control… Lucia-sama.”
“Yes, I will trust you.”
「Flame ─ Explosion」
Pew-!! Pew-!!
If either of them made a mistake, they could be swept away and seriously injured, but Lucia fired without hesitation.
Pew-!! Pew-!! Pew-!! Pew-!! Pew-!! Pew-!!
After a few hours of magic, they arrived at the canyon.
“Um… Over there!”
“Go down!!”
The place where Eugene fought was not difficult to find.
It was a wide canyon, but the whole area around it was destroyed around one place.
“Yu… Eugene-sama!! Eugene!!!”
“Master!! Where are you in now!!”
At that time, Vivian found something and pulled Lucia’s collar.
“Lu…Lucia-sama…Over there..!!”
“Ah… “
When I traced Vivian’s fingertips, what I saw was…
It was Eugene who had collapsed, covered in blood.
***
Dead.
…Finally, that bastard died.
“…Ha.”
The moment I slit my throat with telekinesis to ensure that I was killed for the last time, I fell down as well.
“…It’s hard…I’m going to die…Really.”
「Causal reversal」The recoil is not a joke, perhaps because there are a lot of things that I brought from my clothes and rings.
To be honest, when I first cut off an arm, I was sure I had won…
No matter how different the knowledge is, in the end, moving is ‘IIt seems that there was a habit of overlapping because of this.
I thought it would work in the beginning, but I quickly analyzed my pattern and later avoided it by nearly 80%.
“I wish I had taken more time to do this…”
What’s wrong—
My head is spinning and my vision is blurry.
If I relax even a little, I’m going to lose consciousness right away, but I still have to do what I have to do.
Squeezing the last remaining strength, I took out a signal flare from my waistband and fired it up.
Shuuu-! Pew-!
A signal flare that went up high and exploded smoked red smoke.
“Now… Get some… Sleep…”
The moment I close my eyes unable to bear the fatigue after finishing my work…
‘…Red…Smoke…?’
I realized later that I shot the wrong shot.
I had to shoot the blue one, but I was so tired that I shot whatever I could get my hands on.
‘Ah… I have to… Shoot again… But…’
I knew it, but I didn’t think that my eyelids would ever open once they were closed.
‘…I don’t know.’
It’s not a serious condition that needs support right now… But it’s true that you need help.
Let’s go to sleep and think
I fell asleep thinking that and woke up…
“.
“… Huh … Huh … I’m alive …”
On either side, Vivian and Lucia were hugging me and crying profusely.
“…Lucia?…Vivian?”
“Huuuuufuuuuu”
“Heuuuuu”
“Sorry…”
It was only after seeing their crying faces that I realized what I had done belatedly.
‘…A madman.’
It was natural.
Even if it were me, if Lucia had fired a red flare, I would have come flying in such a surprise… But I was so exhausted that I guess what happened to her hair.
“…I was wrong.”
“Khhhhh”
“Huhhhhh…”
After patting the two for a while, I fired the flare again.
Pushuwook—! Whew—!
Blue smoke rose properly under the rising sun.
***
“Pup…”
Back at Carnea, Bianca, her eyes red, slams her head into her chest.
“이..개새끼야…씨발새끼…흐윽…내…내가..어…어…얼마나…끄흑…흑…”
“…Huh…Huh…Sensei…No…I’m glad you’re safe…”
“I’m sorry… I was very surprised.”
Let’s calm down all the people who are crying because of me and then sit down.
“…Eugene has a knack for surprising people, right?”
Liana sneaked up beside her and leaned her head against her.
“I don’t think Liana was really surprised when she said that.”
Liana, who looks almost the same as she normally does.
It’s just that her clothes were torn a bit because she had fought four knights, and her face looked tired.
“Um… That’s right. Well, if Eugene really died, she wanted me to die too… She shouldn’t be too surprised.”
“…”
I shook my head at the sight of Riana making such a fearful statement so calmly.
“… Even if it’s because of Liana, she should live a long time.”
“Yeah… You must live longer than me. If she dies even a day early, she will chase after her and punish her ♪”
“Look at me one day…”
“No~♪ Eugene should die at least one minute later than me.”
After talking with Liana for a while, Lucia came over and handed over the documents.
“Master. This is the result of the subjugation.”
0 dead, 0 injured.
Perfect and neat results.
If you read the back chapter further, there are quite a few injured, but they have already been fully recovered through the support of Lilith and Parthenon.
“…Perfect, but there has been no contact from the ‘wall’ yet, right?”
“Yes. Not yet. If you are concerned, shall we postpone the banquet?”
“…No, let’s start as planned.”
Although they won a landslide victory, the students waged a war.
You may not realize it now because you are drunk with victory, but once you realize it, fear will surely arise.
It’s not all over yet.
By any chance, it was also important to wash away fear with a banquet in case the students fight again.
“…Hmm. Eugene. When is the banquet held?”
“Because the victory banquet was being prepared before departure… I’m thinking of holding it tomorrow if possible…”
Although the ‘spreading nightmare’ and the war unfolded, everyday life continued, except for the places that unexpectedly directly became battlefields.
It was possible because he hadn’t thought about defeat from the start.
Isn’t it natural
If he loses anyway, the empire will be destroyed, but he made all plans with the idea that he would definitely win.
“Hmm… Tomorrow? Then, I’m sorry, but I’ll be out of it♬”
“…Falling out? Why?”
I was surprised by Liana’s words and asked back.
In this war, Liana is the undisputed protagonist.
If it wasn’t for Riana, it’s unclear how much she would have sacrificed to stop the four knights.
“Hmm… I’m a bit tired from fighting hard… And tomorrow is the release date of a new product from Hermes, so I’ll go buy it♬”
“…Also. Luxury. Can’t we just buy it quickly?”
I know that Riana likes luxury items, but she had a desire to be with me on a day like this.
“Um… I don’t think so! I have to go to Sermes in the morning and to Chanel in the evening, but I don’t have time!”
“…Tsk, it’s a victory banquet, do I have to go? You can just tell the employees to buy it for you.”
Bianca also secretly brought her words out, as if she wanted to celebrate with them.
“No, it’s meaningful to choose it yourself♪ And if you miss it this time, you never know when you’ll get it. …Honestly, I don’t know if I’m alone with Eugene, but this is more important than playing house with you guys♪”
“…What, playing house? Shit, even if you talk…”
To be honest, I was a bit saddened by the word play house, but first I had to stop Bianca from getting hot.
“…Calm down, Bianca.”
“No! Why do you stop me What should I say to him!! People pay attention to what they say, but they answer in that way!!”
“Ah… I made you angry~ I have to run away!”
I said to Liana’s back as she playfully waved her hand and left.
“Then, be careful. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Pop ─
At those words, Liana stopped her steps for a moment and looked behind her, smiling slightly.
“…Ahahaha♬ Don’t wait. It will be late.”
