Became the Escort Knight of the Villain in the Romance Novel

84 – Diminuendo (4)

“…Pretty fast.”

Even in the dark, there was a light that stood out clearly. Seeing that light, Viltein murmured lowly.

If they come here, maybe there will be a problem with the ceremony itself. It was necessary to bring Evan Fried alone.

To use in the ceremony, and to drop the crown prince and Theorad to Evan Fried.

Is there a need to fight together with the three of us? The odds were good enough,

It was Roman’s theory to always fight only to win.

“How would you like to do it?”

At that, Bil Thein nodded his head slightly.

If you ask me what to do, wouldn’t it be possible to make various moves in this situation.

It was dangerous…It was on the verge. Although it didn’t feel that way at all.

Anyway, they don’t know that they are masters.

Even if he knew he was a master, he didn’t know the slightest bit about his realm.

Evan Fried would be the only variable… But didn’t we already prepare a way to make him come alone?

It was a car that was a little surprised that the imperial family found out sooner than expected that he was related to the warlock.

Seeing that the crown prince stepped forward with confidence like this, isn’t he saying that he also has physical evidence?

Now that it’s like this, there aren’t that many that can be placed.

The number that allows the ritual to proceed as it is, and at the same time to obtain the sacrifices that will complete the ritual.

“…Juris must be empty.”

As Biltain murmured, the shadows lined up in front of him began to move.

Does Evan Fried know that his own evil is at stake?

A rather pleasant sentiment, Vilteyn smiled quietly in the dark.

At dawn, the red moon will rise instead of the sun.

Biltein’s eyes quietly closed. He doesn’t have much time left the annihilation of everything. 300 Years of feat.

Theo Rad’s domain was to further highlight his own strengths.

It does not stop at controlling the space covered with blue mana, the black space that is wielded within it.

Wouldn’t it be possible to swing the space, tear it, and go further and leap by using the torn gap?

He seemed to prove that he did not become the leader of the imperial knights for nothing,

Theorard was moving more lightly than ever.

‘The last fight was quite helpful.’

While cutting down a warlock, Theo Rad turned his head and glanced at Evan fighting in the distance.

Dalian, the last time I fought, I thought there was nothing to grow anymore.

I felt a subtle sensation the moment I was cut by him.

He obviously used more mana than Evan, but he was cut first.

Swordsmanship is also swordsmanship, but it must mean that his senses are superior to his own.

Unfortunately, senses are innate, so it was difficult to grow no matter how hard I tried.

That’s why the focus is on refining what you already have.

His own sword was slow. Since childhood, that has been a weakness,

That’s why he put a lot of effort into making the slow sword fast.

However, in the end, I couldn’t reach the master level.

20 Years at an intermediate expert level, if there was something I realized after staying for such a long time.

That slow sword itself was his strong point. Slow. However, it wasn’t slow.

It was paradoxical, but Theorad’s sword was showing it as a reality.

At first glance, it looked like it could be defended sufficiently with a sword, and it seemed like it could be evaded.

However, the person facing each other can’t even think of such a thing.

As the space where the sword passes is distorted, the sword restricts the space itself that can be moved.

It was his own sword that he could not avoid and could not even defend against.

“Whoa!”

Kwajik, Theorad, who stepped on the ground, let out a rough breath.

The stamina consumed each time he swung his sword was beyond imagination.

To put the sharpened senses in a bad way, it was said that they became sensitive.

My body was gradually getting heavier with the sensation of receiving twice as much information as usual.

However, there was a lot of success,

Her heart felt a little relieved when she saw about a hundred warlocks cut down beside her.

When she looked up at the sky, all she saw was a sky with slightly thicker clouds. No, could you call something like that a cloud?

The dark cloud that could not cover the duke’s residence and made it disappear altogether must have been black mist.

Her own sense of being inside her didn’t work. Mana, and frugal swordsmanship. As much as she normally does, she couldn’t do it properly.

“…It’s black mist.”

Evan murmured, and Theorard nodded quietly, catching his breath.

Black Wu, there was probably only one way to break through.

Doesn’t the dragon blood possessed by the knight next to him have the quality of purification?

Maybe… He and his Highness might not be able to go that way.

Theorard looked at Evan with that thought, but Evan had a surprisingly calm expression.

“It cannot be pierced. Completely removing the black radish is something I can’t do unless I’m a dragon.”

Evan shook his head slightly. Black radish, I had memories of erasing Maloric last time.

The black radish that surrounded me, the duke, was of a density that he could not even compare to what he knew.

Perhaps in order to erase that, he had to cover the whole duke’s mansion with his own mana.

Because it was something I couldn’t do now, not being a master,

Perhaps they had to find another way to get in. Or that he only enters himself.

How much should he set the odds of entering alone?

I wouldn’t know if I risked my life, but it wasn’t that easy to risk my life in the current situation.

There was Irene waiting for her.

The extermination did not end completely with the subjugation of Roman, and most of all, his own family had many problems.

Evan smiled self-deprecatingly and slowly raised mana.

The remaining mana…Was still enough. His stamina was wide, and there were no wounds on his body.

Warlocks who would have struggled in the past were now nothing more than small puppets.

I thought that I had grown that much, and that if I did well, I would be able to defeat Duke Roman without difficulty.

Top.

The top of the duke’s residence rose like a spire and seemed to pierce the moon.

Are you thinking of stabbing the moon and making it lose its light? The sky, now completely covered in black mist, no longer shone.

I looked at the moonlight dimly leaking through the cracks, and then the surroundings began to glow brightly in the burning white flame.

“Looks like you’ve taken care of everything, but is there only entry left?”

Kaisel frowned at him as he ripped the flesh off his body.

I don’t know what Theo Rad or Evan’s condition is, but she herself is pretty tired right now.

I didn’t want to get in the way, but if it goes like this. I didn’t want to have any negative thoughts.

However, I was resentful of this damn body.

If you overreact here, Sir Theorard will tell you. You shouldn’t be in a hurry any longer.

Unreasonable? No, this wasn’t a stretch. If it’s the emperor of the empire, if it’s the one who was born with Evangelium’s luster.

Isn’t it a right to stick out a sword towards a warlock?

He knew at least that he couldn’t cut Bil Tane himself. However, I wanted to help.

Leaving aside the prince or something else, he wanted to take on the role of supporting the two knights who risked their lives.

A fishy scent seemed to come up from inside. A little… I could still move a little more.

Isn’t it all that he killed dozens of warlocks at most?

Even if it wasn’t as far as Rick with the horse Evan caught, he was able to catch as much as he caught so far.

He let out a sigh and smiled as usual, only then did Theorad’s gaze reach Kaisel.

“Are you okay?”

“Sure, very nice.”

Kaisel laughed lightly, and Theo Rad, who was staring at Kaisel, slowly turned his head.

Evan was unable to take his eyes off the Duke.

Aren’t all the warlocks who came out of the tightly closed gates already knocked out?

The only ones left are the ones left inside. To be honest, I had no idea how to enter.

The white flame that came in contact with the black radish gradually began to fade.

I was able to create a gap for a while, but wouldn’t it be impossible for all three to enter?

I had to completely remove the black radish from the door.

The only thing that caught on was the things that would come out the moment you opened that door.

Even after killing the black magician like this, there was no significant attack from inside the duke’s residence.

Neither Adele Roman nor Duke Roman directly stepped forward.

The ominousness grew. What is the reason for being so quiet?

Evan looked around and took out the brooch he had been keeping in his chest.

Like the sapphire necklace I gave to Irene,

The blue brooch that still shines brightly made me feel at ease.

My appetite was bitter. The uneasiness remained unexplained.

So far it’s been fine, but now it started after entering the duke’s residence.

After that… I don’t know now. Maybe I should bump into it somehow.

What Count Kassim gave me was still with me. He

He thinks it’s his last move, but he might end up using it.

And at that moment, the color of the brooch in Evan’s hand began to disappear.

The brightly colored one lost its color and turned gray, and eventually the completely broken brooch turned into powder and fluttered.

Evan’s face turned white. In an instant, a spark soared, and thoughts quickly spun in Evan’s head.

The reaction was clear that something was wrong with Irene. But why? Location could not be determined.

Mana quickly entwined around her and began to sense her surroundings.

The mana that gradually spread far beyond the surroundings was enough to reach the Duchy of Yuris.

And the darkness reached the end of that mana. Evan’s eyes widened.

“Ha.”

It felt like my heart was sinking because the thing I was so worried about had happened.

It was a reality that I didn’t want to even think about, but I couldn’t deny that it had already happened.

Fortunately, the brooch itself would have protected her from danger.

So far it’s okay. However, wouldn’t it be possible to continue this subjugation that we are currently doing?

“Sir Theorard, to the young lady-“

Took.

Evan opened his mouth to go to Yuris, but

Everyone’s eyes were directed to one place at something that suddenly fell from the sky.

Something that fell from the sky. Evan’s eyes trembled as he looked at something that had fallen from the duke’s mansion, which had not even shown any reaction until now.

It was a familiar thing. It was a golden string, with a broken sapphire in the center.

It was hanging around a woman’s neck, and that person.

“…Irene.”

Evan muttered blankly. There was no strength in his voice.

She wondered what she was looking at. Fantasy? Illusion? It would have been better that way.

If this necklace that fell on the floor was what he knew.

From noble mtl dot com

I couldn’t think of what to say.

The flame has died down. She closed her eyes. And even though he rose again, the scenery in front of Evan’s eyes did not change.

Cautiously, Evan knelt down and picked up her necklace.

…It was a familiar necklace.

Her necklace, engraved with Irene’s initials, was in front of her own eyes.

Laughter leaked out. I don’t want to believe in this situation,

I don’t want to believe that those damned warlocks ended up messing with Irene.

Roaringly, the flame that rose from the heart soared toward the sky like wings.

Blood leaked from his chewed lips. Her hand holding her necklace turned white,

The surrounding flames were burning the surroundings more splendidly than ever before.

The scorching heat ate the cold air of dawn. The corpses of the warlocks began to burn in the burning flames.

Perhaps the space itself was covered in flames, and Theorard could sense that even breathing was becoming difficult.

“……Sir Theorard.”

The voice that came out was different. Theorard stopped walking towards Evan.

To be considerate of him, no. He just felt afraid.

It was funny that he, the Master, felt fear from Evan, but the demonic energy flowing from Evan’s eyes was colder than anything else.

The surroundings were covered with sharp, deadly flesh like a well-discarded knife. The burning fire was his anger.

The white flame did not disappear in the black radish. Swallowing the black radish,

After a while, I managed to clear the fog around the door.

Evan looked at the top of the duke’s mansion.

Weakly…I could feel Irene’s mana.

Even though she was shrouded in black mist, her breathing was clearly audible. She is still alive

And it’s at the top of that duke’s mansion. A purple twilight shimmered beneath the shade.

The shadows wriggled like monsters, and their gazes, which swallowed the light, turned to me. Biltain, Duke of Roman.

Evan realized the moment his gaze met that existence. That he is calling himself.

“I think I need to go.”

“It is dangerous. I guess the circumstances, but no matter how-“

“…I’m going. Even if you dry it, if you dry it, I will cut it and pass you by.”

Evan quietly raised his sword. The sword that used to cast pure white light no longer shone.

The light disappeared in the darkness that covered the surroundings, leaving only a white color.

Evan quietly looked at the door of the duke’s mansion where the darkness had lifted. Laughter kept coming out.

He didn’t want to laugh, but he couldn’t believe the situation.

Blood leaked from the corner of his twisted mouth. Blood flowed from his mouth, which had been bruised from chewing hard.

However, what hurt more than that was her chest. My heart ached. Silence flowed over the empty chest.

No sound was heard. The words of Sir Theorard shouting to himself,

I couldn’t hear the words of the prince looking at me…

I didn’t want to hear it. If ever there was a time to risk it all, it was now.

I know that the three of us can’t go in. However, I couldn’t avoid this place.

Go to Irene, even if you are alone.

Evan’s eyes were colder than ever.

Kaisel couldn’t even dare to touch her Evan.

Even though he was an ally, his body was tingling with the murderous blood he exhaled.

Theo Rad was the same, just staring at Evan and keeping his mouth shut.

“…Evan, no matter what!”

“Your Highness. There is no stopping him now.”

Theorard stood against the teeth he served. The thing he most wanted to block was himself,

He couldn’t stop him now. He could have done a lot of damage in front of it if he had blocked it. Furthermore-

“The enemy is not just in there.”

Away, the stone statues surrounding the duke’s residence began to open their eyes quietly.

In the darkness, monsters with yellow eyes opened their eyes, and deafening screams swirled.

Theorad, realizing the name of the gargoyle, gripped his sword again.

“…For now, I have no choice but to trust him.”

The possibility was low. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t imagine catching Bilthein alone.

But he had no choice but to walk. With only a few days left before the Master, if he reaches the Master.

I didn’t even know there was a possibility. Hemolysis was like that.

A being that brings about miracles. Recalling the story in the founding myth, Theorard took a deep breath.

He just stretched out his hand holding his sword forward, hoping for the miracle to happen again.

#

Darkness enveloped the body.

The darkness scratched and left scars, but they were soon covered in golden flames and began to heal slowly.

It didn’t hurt. The empty chest felt no more pain.

Evan threw a blank gaze into the air. It was silent in the hallway, where there was no one, not even a candle. Irene’s face came to mind.

I remembered the face of a woman crying to come back to me, hugging me and wishing me goodbye.

Alive. That much was certain. And it was up there.

And that means humiliating yourself… Or maybe you’re needed in their plans.

Perhaps he was offering himself as a sacrifice.

Lofena, Sir Chris? Countless people passed through Evan’s mind.

What does escort mean? In the end, he was the one who couldn’t protect this precious thing. Also, I regret it so much.

If only she hadn’t participated in the subjugation as she said, if only she hadn’t come out like this with a lame excuse that it was for Irene’s sake.

“Damn it.”

It was meaningless self-help. Wasn’t it like this in the end?

She said her job was to rectify the reality that had become like this, and ultimately save Irene.

Her eyes were closed. You could smell the scent of blood in the cool breeze. Useless thoughts came to mind.

Still, Irene was fine. I could tell because she was connected to Irene.

Although she couldn’t see it herself, she could tell that Irene wasn’t hurt.

…It was because of himself. That fact hasn’t changed.

Isn’t that why she should correct herself?

Like her brother, she had no intention of losing everyone like that.

This time it was different. It had to be different this time. Evan’s eyes, which had lost their vitality, lit up again.

She grabbed her sword. Holding her sword, she recalled her oath.

Flame, burning flames began to cover the surroundings.

The space stained with shadows gradually began to regain its shape.

At the collapsed stairs, inside the duke’s mansion where countless people died and became corpses, there was a man.

A man sitting alone in a spacious living room where no one will come.

It was a familiar mana, so Evan was able to recall the name immediately.

“Adele.”

Irene’s fiancé…Evan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Not anymore.

One thing was certain, he would be against him.

The purple eyes I saw the first time I saw them shimmered in the air.

And the power I felt from him. Evan swallowed quietly.

Adele’s power was stronger than expected. Perhaps, time could have stalled here.

While I was thinking about that, I heard a thin voice in my ear.

“Isn’t that Sir Evan…Oh my God, I didn’t recognize such an honored guest first.”

“……”

Adele Roman is no longer the same as she used to be.

His cheekbones were exposed against his pale skin.

Is this the reason why he did not appear in public?

As Evan looked at him quietly, Adele giggled and laughed as she bent over him.

His few strands of hair fluttered. The noble knight he had seen at the hunting festival was no longer there.

Evan realized that, and slowly began to erase his hesitation.

Adele laughed for a long time. Maybe to the point where you stop breathing while laughing.

Adele spits something black out of her mouth with a croak, then raises the long sword at her waist and shouts proudly.

His slender arms fluttered in the air. Can he call him human?

No, he was a monster. His skinny, twisted body was bizarrely twisted,

He could no longer find the brilliance in his eyes.

“Huh… isn’t that funny? I, Roman’s next sword! That’s what it is! Sir Evan, didn’t you teach me how to use a sword? But…Why are you standing here like that?”

“Shut up.”

Evan muttered quietly. He had no intention of making a long conversation.

The important thing right now was Irene, and I couldn’t waste time with Adele Roman.

Evan’s eyes narrowed as he muttered like a madman.

How to get past here quickly. When the following thoughts come to mind,

Evan smiled lightly and carefully placed his hand near my heart.

What Count Kassim gave you was a crystal purified from a fruit said to have been inhabited by the light spirit before.

A kind of stimulant that can only be used by those with hemolysis.

Count Kasim, who handed it to himself, added his words with a worried expression.

-It’s okay to use it in moderation. But… If you use that power for too long, you can really die. The spirit’s power isn’t something I can use very much.

He replied, “Don’t worry about it.”

I thought that if there was a situation to use it, it would definitely be worth fighting for.

Evan grabbed the small crystal and put his hand to his heart.

Did you say that the pain you felt before, a reaction occurs when the mana and the light spirit combine?

A flash was added to the blazing flame. Under the bright light,

She began to flutter a gorgeous white flame that could be compared to him.

Her hair flew over her with sparks.

The light wrapped around the body, and the white flame. While spitting out blood in pain as if my heart was being torn apart,

Evan moved in front of her, sword in hand. I felt annoyed at the existence of Adele Roman, who was muttering something.

He was in a hurry. He couldn’t waste his time in a place like this.

Even risking his life, he wanted to save Irene.

With a roar, Evan’s hand that had been gripping his chest fell off. Golden eyes turned to Adele.

“Get out of the way.”

Quietly, Evan raised his sword and pointed his hand at Adele’s neck.

“Promises must be kept.”

That promise to be the first to go to your side, wherever you are.

Evan never spat it out in vain.
