*CRASH!!*
The sudden impact shook the study, causing everyone inside to stagger and fall from the force.
Among them, Moub, who was near the window, took the full brunt of the Queen’s headbutt, and he was sent flying with Sara clutched in his arms.
“…Sara!!”
Thanks to Moub’s body shielding her from the debris that scattered around, Sara seemed unscathed on the surface.
On the other hand, Moub, whose back had directly affected, was heavily wounded, and his back was in a terrible, bloody state.
Both of them had lost consciousness and lay still, not moving an inch.
Marz see this as a chance to rescue Sara, but… due to the previous impact, he was pinned by rubble and couldn’t move his lower body!
He surveyed the room.
The impact had probably knocked his wife, Ima, out, and she was lying on the floor.
“Ah! Lady Ima! Lady Ima!!”
The steward, Sneigen, was unharmed… but he was shaken by Ima’s collapse.
In this state, Sneigen wouldn’t be receptive to Marz’s words.
“Gi, Gi, Gi… Kakkakak!”
A strange sound echoed from the throat of the massive Queen that had thrust its head into the study.
“!!!”
Drawing from the knowledge he gained during his time as an adventurer, Marz instantly realized the danger from that sound.
It was the motion before the [Poison Breath] attack!
“D-Damn it! Move! Moveeee!!”
Marz struggled to free himself from the rubble that confined his lower body. But he couldn’t break free!
The Queen’s gaze was fixed straight on Sara.
This was the worst situation. The target of that breath was his beloved daughter.
“Hey! You monster! Over here! Look this waayyyyy…!!”
Marz yelled loudly, trying to divert the Queen’s attention toward him, but he was utterly ignored.
Not a single one of those three eyes turned towards him.
Those eyes that should gleam red were clouded with white, devoid of any sense of intent.
“Gi… Gigi, Gigya”
The Queen opened its mouth wide toward Sara.
It was a hopeless situation.
And there were only a few seconds left before the breath attack.
“Damn it! Damn it all! Damn it————!!”
Powerless!
Utterly, helplessly… powerless!
Despair…. His daughter was right there, right in front of him, and yet he couldn’t save her!
Marz screamed!
Someone, please help! Someone!
Anyone! Save my daughter!
Please!!
…God!!
At that moment…
A small black figure leaped up the Queen’s neck and jumped into the room through the hole in the wall.
It was the maid apprentice, Emmy!
Jumping and spinning while landing, Emmy stopped in front of the Queen.
Her appearance was a sight of blood, her clothes were tattered, exhaustion and injuries on her body evident.
However, despite her appearance, her deep black eyes carried a fiery determination as she stepped forward.
To protect her friend!
“Shaaaaa!!”
Right after that, the Queen unleashed its [Poison Breath].
Emmy spread her tiny body wide, standing tall like a guardian statue, shielding Sara from the Breath.
In place of Sara, she received the poison.
“Gii, Gi…”
“…*cough*”
Even after enduring the full force of the [Poison Breath], Emmy remained standing.
She was not unharmed.
With every cough, blood would gush from her mouth.
“A… Aah…”
But Emmy clenched her fist.
Despite the poison coursing through her body, and the tormenting pain.
Even in a state where it wouldn’t be strange for her to lose consciousness.
“AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
Emmy poured all her remaining magical power into her fist and struck the Queen’s face with all her might.
The face of the Queen that wasn’t enhanced couldn’t withstand the blow, and it burst apart.
Flesh, blood, bone fragments, and various debris scattered as it exploded. Finally, the Queen’s body ceased all movement.
Thud… Thud…
Outside the mansion, the Queen’s colossal body collapsed with a resounding thud.
The tremors it created caused the mansion to creak and shudder.
At the same time, Emmy too, fell.
*squelch*
With a small sound, she collapsed onto the debris and dust-covered floor of the study.
And then she stopped moving entirely, not even a twitch.
*CRASH!!*
The sudden impact shook the study, causing everyone inside to stagger and fall from the force.
