94 – I won’t let a single one live.

The Archbishop’s body slumped on the floor.

I could see small holes in some parts of his body, but they were nothing compared to the huge hole in his heart.

I slowly got up from my seat and checked the archbishop’s body lying on the floor.

I didn’t feel the slightest bit of magic power that I had felt chilling down my spine.

After realizing that he was dead, I immediately turned to Claire.

Then I took out the potion I received from Chloe and fed it into her mouth.

“…… Ugh.”

As soon as the potion came into his mouth, he seemed to have regained consciousness fortunately, and began to drink the potion little by little.

After drinking all the potions, her pale complexion returned a little.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes…. Are you okay.”

Feeling a little dizzy, she stood up from her seat, gently grabbing her head.

Then, while examining her own body condition, she slightly raises her head and looks at my face.

To be precise, I brushed her face and began to examine my entire body.

As her gaze moved from her head to her toes, her gaze distorted for a moment.

“Aren’t you in too bad shape?”

“This is fine.”

I did bleed a little, but this amount was the level of wounds that would occur while sparring with Allin.

While checking each other’s condition, a slightly nervous voice came from behind.

“What are you doing in front of the person who saved your life? Even in front of someone else’s fiancé.”

No matter how much Chloe is said to be the eldest daughter of the duchy, she was not the kind of person to talk to Claire, the candidate for the next emperor.

But Chloe didn’t seem to have any intention of changing her tone at all, and Claire didn’t particularly point out her tone either.

And while Chloe and Claire were looking at each other in silence, Claire spoke first.

“Chloe Krafden… …. I should say thank you for saving me.”

Saying that, Claire moderately brushed the dust off her body.

And nod. She bowed and thanked Chloe.

No matter how much Chloe is a duke’s child, it’s very rare for her to bow her head to her as a child of the imperial family.

To be precise, no one except Claire would be able to bow down to those below her.

Chloe was taken aback by her unexpected greeting, but she quickly hid her expression.

“Thank you so much.”

“Thank you.”

Claire smiled slightly at Chloe’s words and finally straightened her back.

Chloe turned her gaze away from Claire and looked at me.

“Now that we have dealt with the warlock who appears to be the bishop, let’s go outside. Everyone is worried about you and the princess.”

But I couldn’t answer Chloe right away.

Feeling puzzled by my appearance, she approached me.

“Aren’t you going back?”

“It’s not over yet.”

And to my answer, Claire added her own.

“The ancient being will rise again… ….”

You killed the archbishop, the most dangerous and influential of the warlocks, but it’s not over yet.

The bishop and several warlocks are still alive, and they are resurrecting the ancient being with Phila while the archbishop is wasting time.

We must stop them from resurrecting the ancient beings right now.

After confirming that my body had recovered to some extent, I moved to the place where the black magicians had fled a moment ago.

But the blue-haired woman standing in front of me seemed a little different from what I thought.

“Chloe… …. Why are you blocking the road?”

“I came running after hearing the words to rescue you guys. It means I’m not here to fight that dangerous black magician.”

“But if we don’t stop them, we and the whole continent will burn up.”

Chloel, who lives in the north, far from the center, wouldn’t know.

How many died and were injured when the Ancient One was resurrected decades ago.

Of course, I didn’t actually see the scene either, but the situation described at the time made me frown just by imagining it.

And it was no longer a novel, but a reality. For me, the current situation was very urgent.

But I kept my mouth shut once again at Chloe’s question coming back.

“So? You mean you can die to save many people?”

“… ….”

“Rail Now your life is not yours alone. It’s not like I, your fiancée, don’t know that many people value you, don’t you?”

At Chloe’s words, several faces instantly came to mind.

Luna and Lila wish me a safe return from the mansion.

Eris is sweating and making artifacts that will help me.

Iris prays to God in the temple and hopes that I won’t get seriously hurt.

And the images of Fenia, Allin, and Rayman, who were running this way without looking back because I thought I might die, flickered in front of my eyes.

But I couldn’t stop.

It was because if I couldn’t stop him from reviving now, precious people could die.

I didn’t want to see that figure with my own eyes even if I died.

It is said that there is a time when the spirit dies.

“I’m sorry, but I still have to go.”

“… ….”

Chloe looked at me silently.

I tried to avoid her gaze and moved her feet.

I passed in front of Chloe, but she no longer got in my way.

The most dangerous Archbishop in Hideout is dead.

The only people we have to deal with are the bishop and the remaining black magicians.

The Bishop, the most dangerous of the remaining warlocks, may not have fully healed his wounds yet.

I’m not completely healed either, but if I push myself to the limit, I’ll be able to break through them and prevent their resurrection.

The moment I finished my thoughts and was about to head straight to the place where I felt the magic of the warlocks, I stopped walking at the sound of Chloel’s voice.

“Why is Rail always trying to take all the responsibility?”

“What do you mean… ….”

But my words didn’t go through to the end and I was interrupted by Chloe’s words.

“Rail always tries to do things by himself when he can ask us to help. Or is it because we are not trustworthy?”

“… ….”

I’ve never thought of that before.

It was just because I thought that if I, who knew the future work without their help, stepped forward, I could handle things quickly.

No, on second thought, it could be that I didn’t trust my colleagues like Chloe said.

If I were to explain future information to Fenia or Allin, they would question how I would know such information, but they wouldn’t consider me lying.

If I truly believed in my colleagues, I could have broken into the warlocks’ hideout and dealt with them all before the elves were kidnapped.

“… ….”

I have nothing to say.

But it will still take time for Fenia and Allin to get here.

And after they arrive, it is highly likely that the warlocks have already succeeded in reviving.

As I kept my mouth shut without giving a clear answer, Chloe’s mouth slowly opened.

“Didn’t you think it was already too late for Fenia Archmage Love Aline to arrive and move?”

My feet, which were about to move, came to a halt again at Chloe’s words, which accurately read my thoughts.

However, Chloe’s feet began to move differently from my feet, which stopped in her place, and she approached me next to her, lightly holding my shoulder.

It felt like I wasn’t holding them back, I was pushing them to move their feet.

“But you have someone right next to you to help you right now, right?”

“Uh…… ?”

I looked at her with her blank face at her unexpected words from Chloe.

But she smiled slightly and turned her head towards Claire, who was standing up from her seat, as if her body had recovered before she knew it.

“And the princess over there seems to be helping us too. Right, princess?”

“I always ask for my opinion later.”

“So you’re not going with me?”

“No. If you run away from here alone, you don’t deserve to be emperor.”

“I heard that? Rail.”

I stared blankly at Claire, who had come this way before I knew it, and soon made up my mind.

Let’s trust our colleagues this time.

“Okay. No one should die instead.”

“Of course.”

“I have no intention of dying before becoming emperor.”

I nodded after hearing the two’s satisfactory answers.

I raise my head and feel the magical power of countless black magicians in the blinding hallway.

We could all die if we made a mistake, but we moved to the place where the black magicians were gathered without hesitation.

Taat-

Having hit the bottom, we sprinted at high speed to prevent the resurrection from succeeding.

I ran without thinking about the speed of those following me because I was in a hurry, but fortunately, no one was lagging behind.

Then, the magical energy began to feel closer and closer, and they also hurriedly moved their bodies as if they felt our presence.

“Intruder! Stop them from interfering with the resurrection!”

“Don’t let any of those who interfere with the resurrection live!”

With the shouts of the warlocks, more warlocks than before blocked our way.

But we did not intend to slow down in the slightest.

Damn it-!

And that moment when Chloe once again gathers her magic to clear the way.

Koo-gu-gu-gu-goo!!!!

Hideout, which had not been shaken by the tolerable shock, began to tremble greatly.

And the ceiling, which had not been broken by magic, began to collapse.

“What the hell is going on!”

“Intruder! An intruder has broken in from the ceiling!”

“They broke through the ceiling?!”

The warlocks were at a loss as to what to do, but the ceiling still continued to collapse.

Koo Goo Goong!!

And the ceiling just above where the rails and warlocks were standing collapsed,

Those who broke through the ceiling of the dark mage’s hideout began to appear.

A young girl with white hair that doesn’t match the black magician’s hideout. And a female swordsman with dark bobbed hair standing beside her.

And the figure of a young man holding a sword against the back of a female prosecutor.

All of them were familiar to me.

But.

‘How did you arrive already?’

It hasn’t even been half a day since we arrived at their hideout.

But I tilted my head at the appearance of Fenia, Allin, and Rayman who arrived before I knew it.

As I stared blankly at my colleagues, Fenia, who looked at the warlocks, opened her mouth as she looked at them.

“These bastards dare to kidnap my one and only student? Don’t even think about running away. I won’t let a single person live.”

If it were just an ordinary girl’s words, everyone would have lightly snorted at her, but for those who knew that she was the only great wizard on the continent, it was a declaration that was tantamount to a death sentence.
