Blue smiled and whispered softly.
“It’s already too late.”
The pistol, which had fallen on the floor, rose spontaneously and grabbed it in his hand.
He reloaded at high speed and then aimed at Barton.
Taang!
Gunshots echoed through the night sky.
The sound was so loud that it instantly suffocated the ears of those present.
“Barton!”
Leverticia exclaimed as if screaming.
Barton could not completely dodge the bullet at close range, and was struck in the shoulder.
Leverticia ran straight to Barton.
“Barton! Are you okay?”
“Ugh. after… it’s okay. It’s just a little scratch.”
“However-”
The bullet of annihilation was annihilation just by passing it.
Leverticia quickly checked Barton’s condition. Fortunately, it was a normal bullet that hit his shoulder.
“Are you very surprised?”
Blue looked at her like that and burst into laughter.
“Unfortunately, bullets of annihilation are not so numerous and difficult to make. I can’t waste it on a guy like that.”
“Ugh, everyone, grab that bastard!”
Barton grabbed the bloody shoulders and gave orders to the knights. Blue shook her head and turned back.
“Because I’m not that easy-going.”
When he lightly tapped his finger, the magic turrets hidden in various places in the surrounding shacks all at once began to bombard them.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo—
The midnight bombardment began.
Fortunately, this is an old town with few people, so there was little damage to civilians.
“Hide yourself, everyone!”
Barton gave instructions to the knights. The knights quickly hid themselves, but the view was completely blocked by the dust from the shelling.
‘I’m sorry. There was a story I wanted to hear more about.’
It was as Blue licked his tongue as he tried to get out of the streets raining dust and gunfire.
bump
Light and sharp footsteps could be heard from behind.
At the sound of the blade that made the nape shiver, Blue quickly took out a dagger for self-defense and took a defensive stance.
Kaang!
Unsurprisingly, as soon as he defended himself, the sharp sword of Leverticia came straight at him. If his senses had been a little dull, he would have already been stabbed in the stomach.
‘Did you follow this?’
Blue made a rather surprised face for the first time.
After breaking through the numerous turret attacks, he accurately pinpointed his location in the midst of being blinded by darkness and dust.
Her pink eyes that met in the dust shone as if penetrating him. The goosebumps almost rose.
“You too… fun. The desire to do research keeps rising.”
“What a terrible thing to say.”
Rebertisha’s sword quickly changed trajectory and attacked Blue. Blue, too, was able to slash her sword gracefully, but it was impossible to fight her on an equal footing in such an open space.
Gradually, small wounds began to form on his body.
“It’s really great. Is this the only way to grow with your own talents without any drugs or experiments? Haha, that’s ridiculous.”
“I’m not crazy either. Why are you so good at wielding a sword for a wizard theme?”
Although it was not as good as her ability, she was one of the most talented people I’ve ever met. Blue, who had her sword cut right up to her shoulder, smiled broadly and stepped back.
“It’s fun to play with you, but I think I’ll have to do it this far.” “Do you think you can decide that?”
“yes. sure.”
Blue grinned and pointed her hand behind her.
“There is nothing in this world that doesn’t go my way.”
thud. thud.
At that moment, the ground shook and the shadow of a huge monster appeared everywhere.
“Aww!”
“Ok! Sah, save me!”
At the same time, screams of people could be heard everywhere. Leverticia bit her teeth tightly.
Although the old town is sparsely populated, there are still small streets inhabited by the surrounding area. The people living there were mostly unprotected, weak and poor people.
“The knights are caught in the bombardment, and you are the only one who can help people, right? Come on, let’s go. I’m willing to let go without firing a gun.”
“… asshole.”
“So, even if it’s your nickname.”
Leverticia glared at him, grinding his teeth, and then turned away when a fire erupted in the direction of the nearby orphanage.
Blue murmured behind her as she was about to leave.
“Well, don’t worry too much. Your parents unfortunately turned down the deal with us.”
“you….”
“That’s what I was curious about. Right?”
He raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“They refused to hold hands with us until the very end. stubbornly.”
“Of course. There’s no way my parents could work with heinous criminals like you.”
“But.”
He whispered to her in a cold voice he had never seen before. “That’s why he’s dead. they are.”

“shit. Why are you so late?”
Kaius looked out restlessly.
He was forced to concentrate on treating his injuries in the room for the time being due to Leverticia’s strong insistence.
It was like that today.
After the chaos of Kaius’ secret awakening was over, they wondered who could use Rudel to trap Leverticia.
Of course they were warlocks, but I thought there must be someone else who told them to use Rudel.
They both came to the same conclusion not long after.
A person who treats her like a thorn in her eyes, but at the same time knows her weaknesses well.
There was only Patrick.
His suspicions were soon confirmed, even when he heard testimony that he had been drinking in a rush last night.
“So, I was well aware of the story of stealing Patrick’s son and catching the warlock who made a deal with him.”
“Pui?”
The black man who was holding him tilted his head.
Kaius reached out and patted the black man, expressing his displeasure.
“Why are you going to catch them by yourself in such a dangerous way? do you have me I can even cover you from a distance.”
“Poo? pu ah….”
“Hey, that’s crazy. The monsters came from the old town, right? Aren’t you supposed to go right now? That child certainly wouldn’t save any of my body…!”
“Puwu! Awesome!” “ah.”
Kaius noticed that the bird was clapping like a doll, and let go of it.
“Beep!”
The black eagle groaned and groaned, then went to his bed alone, curled up and fell asleep.
‘That disgraceful child.’
Originally, pets were supposed to eat well, sleep well, and wrap well, but these days, eating and sleeping almost all day seemed a bit disrespectful.
Even more, because Rebertisha looks cute all day long.
“Aren’t you worried about your master?”
“Phihik.”
… It must have been a sleep talk, but somehow I felt like I was being ridiculed.
It was when Kaius, who was still restless after that, grabbed his gun and slammed the door open.
“Letty?”
In front of the door, Leverticia, wearing a bulky cloak, stood hesitantly. Kaiers took her cloak, stepping aside so that she could enter the room. Leverticia walked in with a little dazed gait.
“Why were you wearing this?”
“… Because people can’t find out. I stand up and fight.”
Newspapers published an article stating that both were fatally wounded and the duke was unable to go out. So it was a cloak he wore to hide his identity.
‘There must be a better cloak.’
I didn’t really like him, but I don’t think now was the time to ask that.
“Are you okay?”
“….”
“Where are you hurt?”
Kaius asked again, but she looked blankly in front of her.
Kaiers slowly lifted his hand and placed it on her shoulder. Leverticia, who had been acting like a crazy person, suddenly turned her head to look at him.
“My parents died, it wasn’t an accident.” “….”
When she said that, her face had a very strange expression on her face. It’s a strange expression, but it’s not the first time I’ve seen it.
A long time ago when he gave her a handkerchief. It was the expression he had made when he saw the embroidery on the handkerchief.
“It’s because of the warlocks.”
At the sound of her voice, which flowed out of nowhere, Kaius bit his teeth firmly.
There was no anger or sadness in those words. It was just emptiness. But somehow the emptiness seemed to convey her feelings better.
We didn’t talk much about Leverticia’s past, but I knew that she loved my parents and cared for her family.
“… Kai, do you still remember your parents? Do you still have revenge towards them?”
“I….”
“Oh, I asked something.”
Leverticia reached out and touched the area near his neck.
The red pendant she had given her ten years ago was still shining, hanging from his neck.
Leverticia let out a small laugh.
“thank god. We are both enemies.”
