Chapter 70: The Witch's Temptation
The small fist enveloped in brilliant light held immense power. Overwhelming momentum. A hit from that would be fatal. Even while not in her true form, Ailee Suarez felt this terror.
Thud-
Thud- Thud-
The face crumpled as that fist made contact. However, no blood splattered. Only the bone-chilling sound and the shockwave resonated in the surroundings. This proved that the boy, currently being beaten up, wasnt Shiron.
It seems this isnt an illusion or a dream
Lucia coldly muttered while looking at her hand. There wasnt a single drop of blood or a bruise on her hand. This suggested that the situation was a dream, but the sensation she just felt, which was of crushing something, argued that this was reality.
Whew
Blowing out a white breath, Lucia shook her hand. The feeling wasnt pleasant. It felt like smashing meat intertwined with bones rather than breaking the flesh-covered bone.
A golem, huh?
Lucia smirked with realization. Her innate talent and experience of numerous battles made her instantly recognize her opponents identity.
You took the blow so well; I thought your head was empty. Youve surprised me.
Listening to the sounds coming from the ground, Lucia looked down. The fallen golem, with its crushed face, emitted a giggling laugh.
Stupid. Too stupid. Do you have a problem with your brain?
What punk.
If the face you hit had been of your little brother, what then?
The golem, made of flesh, made a grotesque face. From time to time, it would chuckle, indicating to Lucia that the golem was attempting to laugh.
Poor thing, a sister who kills her brother, right?
Its okay.
Lucia gave a dismissive laugh.
Shiron is strong. He wouldnt just die or have his face crushed by a few punches.
But you seem to be different. Or are you scared? Given you still havent shown yourself.
Nonsense.
The golem, made of flesh, tremblingly tried to get up with its hands and feet.
From afar, or rather close by,
Beyond the Imeon Geokye (Hidden Boundary), Ailee Suarez tried to control the golem with feigned calmness. But things didnt go as she wished. After dozens of attempts in mere seconds, all turned out to be futile.
What kind of monstrous strength is this? The golems circuits are all messed up.
Ailee was annoyed by the opponents unexpected strength.
She decided not to put much emphasis on controlling the golem.
The golem, with its hollow face, managed to produce a derisive laugh.
Young girl, showing off excessively wont do you any good.
Shut up.
Lucia spat out and quickly scanned the void.
Judging by the fact that youre hiding and not facing me directly, it seems this is the typical tactic of witches who lack any sort of pride.
Where is Shiron?
Lucias question echoed, but there was no answer.
She felt something was off. Despite all the chaos she caused, which shouldve alarmed everyone, none of Hugos knights, who should be on guard, entered the tent.
She mustve pulled some trick, but I cant tell what it is.
In the current scenario, Lucia
Apart from fighting, she had no options. Though she easily subdued the golem, it wasnt the end. She had no idea where Shiron was, nor did she know the nature of the place she was in.
If she had her old comrades
An occasionally irritating magician and a reliable guide, she could have killed this weak witch in the blink of an eye.
But this was 500 years after that time.
Stop nagging.
I barely held back from smacking Latera on the head. I didnt have the time for such trivial conversations, not knowing what the witch outside might do to me.
Just then.
Damn it.
Huh? What?
I was taken aback.
That expletive hadnt come from my mouth but from Lateras sweet lips.
Sulkily-
The girl, who would usually chuckle whenever she saw me, was now gritting her teeth with a frown.
No need to get so angry. Im sorry for interrupting you.
Hero.
Yes?
Seeing someone who usually doesnt get angry become furious made him a little scared, so he instinctively took a step back.
Then, against my will, Latera tripped and fell. From a perfect mounting position, she placed her hand on my chest.
With her fiery eyes, Latera looked down at me.
Youve come seeking protection, havent you?
Yes.
I had stopped by to free myself from the witchs hallucinations or dreams.
Reading my inner thoughts, I felt slightly offended, but what mattered most was not my feelings. I must return to the real world and kill the witch.
I have just the thing for you.
Above Lateras head, a hovering ring shone and wobbled. A sight Id seen before. Its the process of granting protection to the soul.
A moment later, after removing her hand from my chest, Latera slid off me.
Ive removed the Protectors of Rage and Vitality and granted you the Protectors of Indomitability and Vigilance.
After she said that, my vision turned upside down.
Shiron? Are you okay?
His vision cleared. Shiron raised his head to look at the woman in front of him. The face of the armored female knight he had seen earlier in the day was there. The hallucination had faded.
Wow, what a daring outfit.
The woman, whose attire was ambiguous between being dressed and undressed, had her slightly curly hair tied up and draped over one shoulder.
The mature womans figure filled the young boys view.
What does she want?
But that didnt mean Shirons motivation wavered.
Shiron moistened his dry lips.
Lucia. Fancy a kiss after so long?
Huh? What?
The witch was taken aback by Shirons proactive attitude.
Why are you so surprised? We used to kiss each other before every meal, dont you remember?
With a cunning demeanor, Shiron slowly approached the witch.
Oh, right
Trying to hide her slightly flustered expression, the witch scratched her cheek.
Shiron gently grabbed the witchs shoulder and looked into her eyes. Her eyes seemed somewhat expectant. Raising one side of his lips into a smirk, Shiron teased her.
Expecting something, you wench?
What?
Ailee Suarezs eyes widened in a split second.
In the boys hand was a white sword.
Shiron directed his holy sword toward the witchs neck.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
