Memories of the past came to mind.
So, a long time ago, when Leverticia was the deputy commander of Baek Eun, going back and forth on the battlefield.
The memories of that time have now become fragments of distant memories.
“It’s unfair.”
Incongruent with how she had just cut through countless enemies with a single knife, she grunted with a rather shrill voice.
“What is unfair?”
“It’s the chief’s secret.”
Rebertisha reached out and pointed to the corpses pierced by the red spears. A window of red shadows. Biggie of the Baltail family.
It was known that among the successive Baltail family heads, the ones who manifested that ability were only a handful.
The destructive power of the spear was stronger than most cannons, and it was faster than arrows flying. Moreover, unlike ordinary spears, it bent at right angles and aimed fiercely at the opponent.
It was an ability that was perfect not only for corpses, but also for poking around areas where cannons and traps were laid.
There is only one condition. wherever there is a shadow.
“Isn’t that a very deceptive ability?” Leverticia pursed her lips.
At that time, the head of the White Knights, Duke Baltail, smirked.
“It’s true that it’s a good ability, but to hear such a thing from a guy whose existence itself is deceptive.”
“Captain. Can’t we just use that spear to get rid of all the rest and get in early? I am hungry.”
“… I ate nine potatoes as a side dish earlier. You look very relaxed, don’t you?”
While biting his tongue, the peacock took out the jerky rolled in his pocket and handed it to her as if tossing it.
“Wow.”
Leverticia smiled softly, put the jerky in her mouth and chewed it.
to the emperor or to the superior. If she could climb it, it was her who climbed it and looked at it.
“Yeah, can’t we just wipe it all out with a spear? I think the manager would be annoyed too.”
“I don’t have the ability to use it that badly. I wouldn’t have used this case too, if they hadn’t done the mean thing they raided private houses.”
“Why?”
“This is a deceptive ability, as you said. It’s very strong and useful, and there are only a limited number of people who can use it. But it is also a dangerous ability.”
The peacock waved his arm lightly.
Then, the spears stuck here and there came back as if absorbed by his shadow.
“… It is an ability developed by humans to deal with dragons. If you don’t use it carefully, you’ll end up being eaten.”
Leverticia frowned as if something was nonsense.
Where in the world would such a strong human be eaten? Biggie isn’t even alive.
He seemed to have penetrated her thoughts, but gave no further explanation. Instead, he added something else.
“If anyone runs a run with this power, it must be stopped.”
***
She thought so.
I’ll never see anyone in my life have this ability except for the captain. It is a skill that is difficult to see once in a lifetime.
But life, too, was unpredictable. “Kai, calm down!”
Leverticia came down the forest road with her arms around him. Kyus was much taller than her and dragged his toes to the floor, but that didn’t matter.
‘What is it that will awaken Biggie now!’ It was really silly timing.
Thanks to that naughty timing, Rebertisha avoided being torn apart by the monster, but it was just as difficult as the situation turned out to be.
Kyus was now half way through.
Beneath his feet, a blood-red shadow swayed like lava.
Her scarlet eyes, which had usually shone like the sun, lost their light and became cloudy, and cold sweat was dripping down.
All he could do was breathe. I felt the pain in my body boiling like lava. It felt like my body would melt.
“Letty….”
He mumbled low in her ear in a hoarse voice. “… On my side, it’s sold.”
“Is this the time for you to ask? Calm down!” “Spirit, … have to set up….”
He spoke nonsense as if his tongue was twisted. Leverticia bit her molars tightly. Again, memories of the past flashed through my head.
‘The biggie is handled with mental power, so once you get used to it, there is little risk of runaway. But when I first awakened, I had a pretty terrible
experience. It feels like my whole body is burning. All cells are rushing to the brain, and the pressure is so strong that the eyeballs are about to be pulled out….’
‘… The beef jerky I just ate seems to have lost its taste, so please stop. leader.’
‘Still, you must not let me lose consciousness until the runaway stops and the shadows are controlled by themselves. At any cost.’
What number do you use?
A painful moan escaped Kaius’s mouth as Leverticia was mourning inwardly.
If a guy who doesn’t show any signs of pain is suffering this much, he must be suffering tremendously.
‘It’s called fraudulent ability. I canceled what I thought I wanted to learn.’
The process of learning the secret is so painful, I don’t know how the ability has been passed down.
I’d rather hit the back of the neck to make him faint, but I don’t have to lose my mind. Looking at her from the side, her stomach burned even more.
“- Captain!”
As Leverticia was making her way through the forest with Kaius on, she heard a familiar voice in front of her. When I looked up, it was Barton and the knights.
As soon as Barton saw them, he quickly approached them.
“Captain! I’m surprised you’ve been gone since last night – Duke Valtail, why are you like this again? What the hell is this?”
“I have no time to explain! Get it now!”
Leverticia handed Caius on his back to Barton. Barton was bewildered, but accepted Kaiers.
and shouted in surprise.
“Heo Eok, your body is a complete fireball! How come…!”
“Barton, you move the duke with me to the duke’s residence as soon as possible. For the rest, there may still be chaos left in the forest, so patrol them.”
“… All right.”
Barton was very quick-witted.
In particular, he did not ask for an explanation again in such an urgent situation or do stupid things such as vomiting orders.
He immediately mounted Kaius on his horse and followed Leverticia. The two horses ran at full speed towards the Duke of Baltail.
***
Their location was a little far from the outskirts of the capital, so after driving for a few hours, they arrived at the Duke of Baltail.
Until then, Kaius was still struggling with the boiling pain.
Awakening Biggie was not easy in the first place, but there was a reason why it was especially difficult for Kaius.
This is because there was no process of passing on the ability from the former headmaster.
You have to go through the stages of awakening yourself and absorbing your abilities slowly. Kaius went through the whole process at once without any learning from his father, so he was walking this path of pain.
“eww….”
“You need to calm down, Kai. If you’re going to faint, do it after you retrieve the shadows.”
His shadow was still red as blood. It meant it was still out of control. “It’s as easy as saying…ぅ.”
“If you bite this hard, it hurts. Put this in your mouth.”
Leverticia placed a clean, rolled up cloth over his mouth.
However, what he had been biting fell off by itself for a while as the
strength in his jaw drained away. The pain was so severe that it seemed difficult to give strength to the body any longer.
Leverticia turned her head to look at the doctor.
“Any more sedatives? It seems to have lost its effectiveness.”
“No more, no more medication. I have already given enough drugs to pass out under anesthesia for an ordinary person.”
“Then ask for some water. with something cold.” “I will go!”
Jessie, who was restless next to him, abruptly got up.
It would have been better to have someone lower the level, but it seemed difficult to sit still and watch him suffer because of his soft heart.
Not only her, but all the employees, including the butler and the chef, stood outside the room, peering into the door. Everyone seemed anxious.
“Leverticia! Just in case, I brought a new towel!”
Jessie, who had left, hurriedly returned with the maids again in an instant.
Leverticia first took a towel and wiped his forehead. The cold towel quickly became hot.
“Don’t lose your mind until you do it. I didn’t raise you so weak.” “… uh.”
“It’s a biggie that has been passed down from generation to generation. You know that if you run out and die right now, you’ll be cut off, right? Does it make sense that the genealogy is cut off because he is not a monster and his family is empty?”
“….”
“Because it can’t be said, hold on.” “… yes.”
In response to her resolute voice, Kaius answered in a small voice as if crawling.
The users who were watching the two outside whispered.
“Madam has been through a lot of situations like this, so she’s very calm.”
“I think it is rather good. Wouldn’t it be more burdensome to the patient for nothing?”
“It feels a little cold, but it’s definitely more believable that you’re not trembling or crying.”
“… I do not know.”
Barton scratched the back of his head and interrupted the whispers of the users. Then, looking at Leverticia, she muttered in a trembling voice.
“From all I’ve seen, you’re probably the second most trembling in your life.”
