Chapter 177: The Trap
At that time, Cardinal's voice that traveled through space spoke. "There's a good chance the Administrator is in a non-awakened state right now. If you can get to the top before that guy wakes up, you'll be able to get rid of her without using a short sword."
However, it was still not possible to catch up at that time. Now that she had awakened and was able to defeat the High Priest with the same power as Cardinal, all that was left was the dagger that Yugeo wielded.
Reclaim Alice's memories and return to Lulid Village together. For a long time, this was the only wish for Yogeo. However, he was momentarily bewildered by the words of the High Priest, put on the armor of the Integrator, and raised his sword to Yi Yan and Alice, and Yugeo felt that he was no longer allowed to have this desire.
If anything, there is still a way to atonement for sin. That is, putting life and death aside – not out of personal attachment, but for a greater mission, nothing more. Take the eleven-year-old Alice from her hometown, seal her memories and train her to be a knight.
The preachful promotion of the privileges of the nobility humiliated Tizo and Ronie, who had no guilt. In order to smash this distorted system of domination, all remaining strength and destiny must be exhausted. As long as you can defeat the High Priest, even if you die here, the days you travel from the village to the central capital, and the days you study at the academy are valuable.
Despite this determination, the dagger was swung down, but it was blocked by a purple film, unable to reach the Administrator's skin. On the other hand, the High Priest didn't seem to anticipate Eugeo's actions, and she gasped sharply and threw her upper body back.
The wide silver eyes revealed a glow containing anger. Bearing the gaze, Yugeo folded his left hand over his right, using all the strength he had to press the dagger in.
"Uh......h Oh, oh! "The slender blade of the needle, the barrier that shone strongly, pierced through the moment of Millise. The many sacred words that had created the barrier emitted a pure white glow and exploded, blowing Yugeo and the High Priest backwards.
“……!!” Even though he flew into the air and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye with the momentum of being slapped away by a giant's palm, Yugeo managed to do two things brilliantly at the same time.
First, he regained the chain of the short sword in his right hand, which was almost bounced off, and then, at the moment when his back hit the floor, he grabbed the sheath of the Rose Sword lying horizontally beside him with his left hand. Even if he hugged the heavy love sword, the momentum still did not fade at all, and he rolled on the ground for a while, and his back slammed into the large window in the distance before stopping.
"Gollum............ let out a short moan, but Yugeo desperately looked up at the center of the room. The thin cloth hanging from the high ceiling was blown away, revealing the large round bed. In its depths, there was a figure standing quietly. Obviously, she was supposed to be blown away by the explosion of the barrier, just like Yugeo, but she didn't look injured, just her long hair was slowly undulating. You can also see the light of the triangular prism drawn from Yugeo's body in his left hand.
The purple coat was still unable to withstand the blast, and it seemed to be torn to shreds and vanish, but the Administrator raised his right hand to trim his long silver hair, as if he didn't mind his naked body. Then, as if there was a transparent chair in the air, he sat down gently and lifted his slender feet. It moved silently through the air, stopping about ten meters away from Eugeo, who was lying in the south corner of the hall.
The High Priest sat on an invisible throne and pressed the fingers of his right hand against his chin as he poured his gaze intently into Eugeo. He couldn't move, and he couldn't speak, and then the silver-eyed girl finally showed a faint smile and said.
"I'm still wondering where to hide those props and bring them here...... It's a good thing that the little guy in the library did, that thing. I was able to penetrate through my senses, and I didn't see it for a while, and I became able to make some clever little movements. ”
She chuckled deep in her throat, "It's a pity, though. I'm not just sleeping. Giving that toy a metallic attribute is a loss for a small man. Now, my skin can't be hurt by all metal objects. Whether it's an ogre's brute knife or a tailor's needle. ”
"Whit............" Yugeo groaned as he fell to the ground.
If this is true, then all sword attacks, including the short sword obtained from Cardinal, are all neutralized. It is estimated that the purple film that had blocked the blade of the short sword just now was the defensive technique, but even if he wanted to disarm it with the divine technique, Yugeo couldn't deduce what technique it used, and it was hard to imagine that it could be thought of with his ability.
Yugeo could only desperately clench on to the weapon small enough to hide in his right hand, and looked up at the Adminstrator sitting in the air, while the naked girl also whispered softly, "Poor child. ”
“……”
"Obviously, I have made an agreement with you. If you give everything to me, I will give you the same amount of love. The eternal love and eternal domination that you have been constantly pursuing, is obviously almost there. ”
“…… Always, love ......"
Unconsciously and hoarsely, Eugeo repeated in a hoarse voice, "Forever...... Domination ......"
The High Priest bowed his head as he played with the Worship Module that had just been drawn from Eugeo's forehead with his right hand, "That's right, Eugeo. Just give everything to me, and the desires that torment you will be healed in the blink of an eye. The anxiety and fear you've been carrying will disappear. This is the last chance, Yogeo. Use the sword in your left hand to smash the toy in your right hand. In this way, I will forgive your sins with great love. ”
"......" Yugeo crouched down, looking at the sword of the green rose in his left hand and the bronze dagger in his right hand. Then he looked up to the Administrator again and said, "To love is to dominate and to be dominated. Poor for you, who can only say such things. ”
"......" this time to the High Priest closed his lips. As long as the slender right hand waved, the super-high divine technique would be poured into him, and he would clear his destiny in an instant. Even with this in mind, Yugeo continued his words, "...... Definitely, you are the same. Longing for love, exploring and pursuing it...... But no one has given it to you. ”
As he spoke, he whispered deep in his chest.
- Perhaps, I am a child who can't even get the love of my parents.
- But even if I did, I did love a lot of people.
Grandpa Garita, a previous generation of lumberjacks.
Church nun Azalia.
Trainee nun Serka.
My grandfather told me all sorts of stories.
Taking care of my young sister Slinia.
Grandpa Barno and Grandma Dorisa from Wald Farms.
Twins Terling and Trulu.
Tempered my senior Grugloso.
The housemaster, Mr. Yazrika.
Although it was only a short period of time, the attendant Ti Zhuo showed me a smile every day. Take care of Ronie, who is taking care of her partner.
Also, Yi Yan.
Alice.
"You're wrong, poor man." Eugeo stared at Administrator's eyes filled with a mysterious rainbow-colored light, and said as if he were clenching every word, "Love is not domination. Nor is it something that can only be obtained by asking for collateral and relying on transactions. Rather, it is like watering a flower with water, and it is just a matter of giving it wholeheartedly...... This is true love. ”
Hearing this, the Administrator smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth again. However, it is no longer as sweet as honey.
"It's a pity. I forgave the boy who was a great sinner who disobeyed the Congregational Church and wanted to save your soul, but I didn't expect to be bitten back like this. The silver-haired girl floating in the air, transformed from a human to a god in the blink of an eye, causing Yugeo to hold his breath and look up at her.
There is no change in appearance. However, the almost transparent white skin was covered by a bottomless sense of majesty, which was like a divine aura if I wanted to describe it. It was a harbinger of overwhelming power that conjured up the power of a swordsman or warlock that could tear apart with the flick of a finger.
"Eugeo...... You're not going to have the ...... I need you? Thoughts like that, right? Because I want to turn you into a knight, I won't take your life...... Do you still think so? The girl's meager smile showed no emotion. Yugeo held the dagger in his right hand firmly, unable to endure the majesty that stretched over his entire body.
"Uh-huh...... I don't need a boring kid like you anymore. Drain all the Mandate of Heaven, and the corpse will be transformed into a tiny gem to decorate the chest. If you do this, even if you organize your memories today, you will be able to feel a little bit of it just by looking at that gem. ”
After saying this with a smile in his voice, the Administrator gently shifted his upturned feet in the invisible chair. This is not a threat. Once the decision is made, the High Priest will not hesitate to do so.
Now there is no way to escape, and even if you want to, there is no way back. It also takes too long to start the lifting plate used to move to the lower level. Even if it could find a way to break the glass window behind it, there would only be a void outside it that was hundreds of mels above the ground.
The High Priest was protected by a barrier capable of blocking all metal weapons. But Eugeo had noticed that the barrier wasn't as absolute as she claimed. Just now, when he did his best to plunge the short sword into it, the barrier looked like it had exploded on its own. Although he didn't think that the spell would disappear, if it was the moment after the explosion, wouldn't the short sword be able to touch her body?
