‘What is this… Why is that bastard over there?’
Nsody was clearly in charge of the ground side. This was the basement of a secret base.
Leverticia clenched her teeth so as not to make a sound, approached the room where the voice was heard, and looked inside through the crack in the door.
Inside, some warlocks were arguing with someone. Somebody was, of course, a knight with black hair and a tall stature, Nsody.
“Where are you with such irresponsible words, Confucius!”
“I am here. Isn’t that a plan you made with your father? I am different from my father.”
“Profit, we only believe in that…!”
“Then, from now on, follow my words.”
Nsody was naturally sympathetic to the warlocks. It’s like you’ve known them for a long time.
Leverticia let out a fishy laugh and grabbed her sword.
‘A traitor, no, it looks like he was a traitor from the beginning.’
no wonder. It was for this purpose that I knelt in front of her and even raised respectful words.
Although he was often annoyed, at least as a knight leader, Leverticia was loyal to the imperial family. But why is he hitting the back of his head like this?
She once again checked the guys inside through the crack in the door. A total of three wizards. All were researchers, not battle wizards.
It was more fortunate for her. “Well, then how do we….”
“for a moment.”
Nsody interrupted the whining warlocks. He looked around carefully. “There is someone.”
Saying that, Nsody slowly walked towards the door. After carefully
approaching the slightly open door, he opened it in an instant and thrust in his sword.
However, contrary to his expectations, there was no person behind the door. ‘… Broken auto turret?’
Why is this here—
The moment he was distracted by the unexpected appearance, that very brief moment.
It was only time to blink once. Nsody realized his mistake and hurriedly turned around.
However, the wizards in the room had already fallen to the floor without even screaming.
Leverticia defeated the three wizards with a single attack while Nsody opened the door and looked away for a moment.
She said shaking her hands.
“ruler. Now, give yourself an excuse, Nsody.” “….”
“this. He was caught on the spot, so he probably didn’t even think of an excuse. Can you give me some time?”
Kwajik.
Leverticia said as she slammed her sword into the magic weapons that were lying on the floor and broke them.
Nsody stared at her for a moment, then opened her mouth with a sigh. “… Believe it or not, I tried to stop the warlocks’ plans.”
“uh. It’s hard to believe. I’ve seen all of them have very friendly conversations with them until recently.”
“It was my father who colluded with them, not me.” Nsody added in a rather calm voice.
“Let’s go back and talk about the details. Now there is something more important than that.”
“So you’re not a traitor, you’re a double agent?”
“Yes. I said it from the beginning. There’s a reason you don’t understand. There’s a reason the warlocks risk their lives in this experiment. It had to be stopped.”
Rather, he approached her with a more arrogant face, looked down at her, and whispered lowly.
“I’m actually doing something worth saving more lives than you.”
Leverticia stared at that arrogant face without blinking an eye. Soon, words filled with conviction flowed out of her mouth.
“You knew it was going to be like this from the beginning.” “….”
Nsody, who had been arrogant at her words, finally shut her mouth.
“You were the first to devise Operation Yangdong. I was thinking of distributing the power from the beginning. You know it’s going to be like
this.”
“… Yes, right.”
“Why? If you weren’t betraying me, why did you propose such a tactic? Thanks to that, the damage was greater than expected.”
“If there are a lot of people in the invasion team, it will be difficult for me to secretly connect with them and do double spying. Most of all, if someone finds out that I am dating, it will be annoying as it is now.”
“Aha. I’m bored.”
Leverticia nodded her head. The next moment, a sharp silver blade flew towards the tip of Nsody’s neck.
Chaeeng—
Nsody hurriedly raised her sword and blocked her sword. “ね, you…!”
“When you die, everything doesn’t bother you. just die?”
Leverticia swung her sword in succession. Chang, Chaeeng—
The sound of the blades clashing reverberated throughout the base.
“I don’t think I’m that righteous either. Sometimes we make decisions
emotionally, and sometimes we judge each individual by numbers or troops rather than lives.”
Her eyes flashed at the same time as the tip of the sword.
“But I don’t bother with people’s lives like you, you scumbag.”
“I said it was to save more people. We’re going to have a contest to see
who’s a little cleaner? Yes, in the end, you and I would be the same trash.”
“I’m too precious to be called ‘you or me’. At least I didn’t hit the dead in the back.”
The two were vigilant while maintaining a certain distance as if to catch their breath.
Gradually, Nsody’s expression began to harden at her words.
“You sound funny. okay. I told you everything. Then what will change?” His expression contorted.
“You think you are a great person. But look. In the end, you didn’t do
anything either. If I had told you in advance, they would have been killed and injured. I’d rather have my plan of sacrificing half of it be right!”
Nsody rushed towards her, her eyes gleaming like someone twisted somewhere. It was a swordsman with no calmness unlike usual.
“Ensody. you….”
Leverticia swung back the sword and kicked her tongue at him. “He was a pathetic and weaker child than I thought.”
“Don’t talk like you’re any better!”
Nsody’s sword came crashing down non-stop. The sword filled with emotions was mixed with some kind of anger.
“Your guy is really disgusting. Reckless in everything. Every time the worst happens, everyone around you suffers. In the end, you even killed your
superiors, why-!” “….”
“Why can’t it be so unbreakable!”
The anger was not directed at Leverticia. It was a feeling for myself. Nsody swung his sword strongly and cut it horizontally.
Due to the sword, the experimental equipment in the room was broken and collapsed at once.
Leverticia took a few steps away from Ensody and watched him explode in anticipation.
He was showing the dark bottom in front of her.
It’s worse than getting down on your knees and giving you respect.
“Obviously you weren’t like this a few years ago. I thought you were like me.”
Leverticia nodded her head.
“right. So did I. Like you, I thought everything was useless. It was a decided result anyway, and I denied all other possibilities.”
She also had a reason to particularly dislike Nsody. His appearance reminded me of her as a child.
The self at the time when I was pessimistic about everything and believed in no one.
“Then why did it suddenly change?” “….”
“no. That was a pointless question. It’s all because of him. dead man.” “Don’t be rude.”
“under.”
At Leverticia’s gentle warning, Nsody smirked. However, Leverticia felt that the smile was somehow more of a sense of disappointment than
annoyance or anger.
It feels like I’m already giving up everything and pouring it out.
Leverticia felt a strange sense of alienation in the gap. “… you are true.”
She carefully spoke my guess.
“Aren’t you envious of that person?”
Andy didn’t answer that. However, I could read the answer from his bloodshot eyes.
Just as envy and jealousy are different emotions, hating someone you envied was also a common emotion.
Leverticia folded her arms and tilted her head slightly.
“It doesn’t matter what you think or who you envy. What’s important is the situation you’ve created right now. When I get back, I will reveal everything and punish you.”
“Anyway.”
“And I have to tell you the truth about the relationship between the Duke of Everett and the Warlock.”
“do whatever you want.”
Even though it was a story where my family might be blown away, Nsody’s answer was blunt. I just put my hands together and held out my hands to make it easier for Leverticia to catch them.
It was then that Leverticia was skeptical and tried to handcuff his arms.
“Harm!”
“Ugh!”
Standing bluntly, he suddenly pushed her away. Instead of panicking, Leverticia quickly bowed down.
It felt like something big was coming. Nsody muttered with a visibly bewildered face.
“Damn, this damn father…!”
“What is this, Nsody? What the hell is going on?”
“I don’t have time to explain right now. Get here ASAP-” Kwagwagwang—
Before Nsody could finish speaking, the earth’s axis shook and the base’s
ceiling collapsed. And within a few seconds, the base began to explode with roars from various places in succession.
No matter how much they had posthuman abilities, it was impossible to escape from the crumbling underground at once.
He embraced her as if protecting her before the ceiling completely collapsed.
“What are you doing! you now…!” “Be quiet and lie down.”
Leverticia frowned. He tried to shake him off, but before that, a heavy shock had pressed her down.
It wasn’t just pain in the rubble. An unknown wave-like force struck them.
Leverticia swallowed her breath as she saw Nsody’s eyes just before her vision went dark.
His eyes, which had just resigned before, changed.
It was an eye full of yearning that was never to be found in him, who was usually cynical. It was a look of desperate hope.
“mental… Dress up, dog. You’re not the kind of guy who dies every now and then.”
The emotion in his cracked voice was something she knew well too. longing for someone.
‘Maybe it wasn’t that person you were envious of…!’ The last thought broke my consciousness.
