Chapter 96: Confession of Steel

Lutga couldn't believe what was happening before him, the maid who had served him for eight years was now clad in heavy ceramic armor, and a pair of flame-spewing steel wings were open in front of him.

There is no doubt that her transformation is no longer to the extent of 'greater strength', but completely transformed into another creature except for her appearance and voice.

Speaking of which, the last time I saw Hilda was two months ago, when she had not yet received a summons from the Emperor. If Hilda were just a maid, she might be considered excellent. But at best, she's just an ordinary woman.

In her memory, Hilda would neither soar high in the sky nor shoot out artillery fire that scorched the ground. The young nobleman could not have imagined that the woman who had been together day and night under the same roof for eight years, and thought that she knew everything about each other, would become so strange at this moment.

"Hilda...... Why the hell is going on, and why are you ......?"

"Lord Lutga, your demonic reaction and biological information have been tracked by me, and there is nowhere to hide within fifty kilometers. It doesn't matter what happened to me right now. Again, please come back to your room with me to recuperate. Otherwise......"

Hilda didn't answer Lutga's question, but raised the muzzle of her right hand and pointed it straight at the opponent's body, "Otherwise, I'll have to pierce your limbs with a cannonball and force you back." ”

"Hey, what you say and what you do is in tatters!"

"Please rest assured, Miss Alize has imprinted a magic array of recovery techniques in my body, and it is not a problem to treat a few 'minor injuries'. ”

The maid said something terrible in her usual soft tone. Rutga swallowed and swept his gaze to the ground where the pit had been dug at his feet, not believing that he would suffer only 'some minor injuries' if he was hit by such an attack.

Rutga understood that Hilda was probably angry, and could clearly feel her quietly burning anger, and subconsciously wanted to apologize, but unfortunately, he had no memory of angering her at all.

- What should I do...... Will I run away with the 'blessing of the Holy Spirit' again? What the hell is going on...... Why do I have to run away from Hilda......

Lutga's heart was in a mess, but Rachi's face flashed in his mind, making him lose the ability to think calmly to deal with the current situation, and the anxiety in his heart continued to escalate, and finally shouted once again recklessly-

"Holy Ghost blessing!"

He gritted his teeth, waiting for the impending prostration and pain, while concentrating all his strength on his legs so that he could run with all his might when the moment of 'Time and Space Freeze' came.

"Huh......?"

However, nothing happened. Rutga's face was dumbfounded, first looking around, then at his hands and feet, and shouted again, "Holy Spirit!!"

But no matter how much he called, he couldn't feel the existence of the greedy and vicious 'Time Spirit' who had signed a contract with him.

It was a feeling he knew, and it was only recently...... That's right, it's exactly the same as a few days ago, when the prostitution parlor in [Aitania] was shrouded in an unknown 'barrier'.

"Please give up, Lutga. ”

Hilda shook her head condescendingly, as if she had read what was in the other's mind, "Before we found you, we visited [Aitania], saved your comrades, and saw the enchantment that made the two knight gentlemen miserable...... A crude enchantment like this can be easily imitated by Miss Alyser once after seeing it, although with my magic power, it is not enough to support it for long...... However, it's more than enough to stun you. ”

"Tsk ......" proud killer weapon was sealed, Lutga was stunned, if you want to say that his combat ability, at best, it is only the level of a superior warrior, to use a Warcraft metaphor, it is B-level.

Besides, now that his fatigue had not fully recovered, and he did not have the weapons at his disposal, there was no chance of escaping from the nose of the maid who was flying in mid-air and wielding dangerous weapons. But as for the situation he was in, Lutga became more and more confused, and couldn't help but ask anxiously, "After all, why are you blocking my way!"

"The reason is simple, IMHO, Lutga, you are too weak. The maid said mercilessly, "With your strength, you can't play any role in front of the demon dragon at all. Even if you go, you won't be able to help the ladies. ”

I'm too weak...... That's right. I couldn't find any excuse to refute it, because not so long ago, I was in danger on top of the mountain.

On the other hand, although he didn't know what had happened during his time away from the city, Lutga knew that his daughters were far stronger than him.

Alice fell from the sky like a golden meteor, and then strangled the monster as if playing a game, and that scene is still fresh in my memory.

Perhaps, as Hilda said, rushing there by herself was just a drag on them.

But......

This intense uneasiness is like the day when she lost her fiancée Flora eight years ago during the turmoil in the imperial capital. At that time, I comforted myself and turned a blind eye to this uneasiness.

Because at that time, Flora was accompanied by many trustworthy companions, but despite this, when she learned the news, she had died inexplicably, and in the end, she didn't even see her body, and the truth of the matter was buried in the abyss.

Rutga regretted this for eight whole years, and he has not let go of it until now. I regret that I didn't follow through on my willfulness back then, if I had been by her side...... Even if there is a limit to what you can do, it is still much better than regretting it for life.

Therefore, there is no reason at all, it may be just an illusion, or it may be willful that has no reason to talk about.

The current conditions are very different from those of the past, but Lutga can feel an indescribable sense of fate, and he firmly believes that he has to go. If you don't get there soon, there's a good chance you'll never see Raki again, and you'll be able to taste the same remorse you felt eight years ago.

So he ......

"Okay......" Lutga sighed, sat down on the ground weakly, raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, "listen to you, I'll go back and lie down." Hilda...... Come and give me a hand. You're right, now I'm staggering even when I stand up, and I can only pull my hind legs when I go......"

"It's great if you understand, I'll help you back to your room and rest. ”

Hilda quickly landed on the ground and came to Lutga, she leaned down and was about to reach out to support her master, but Lutga, who suddenly got up, grabbed her shoulder first.

"Eh, ......, Lutega, Man?" The strength of grabbing her shoulders was not a big deal, but the sudden act of intimacy from the admiring man was enough to make Hilda lose her mind for a moment, her eyes widened, and her shoulders trembled and she took a small half step back.

"I'm sorry——!"

Rubga apologized, but quickly picked up his other fist and slammed it into Hilda's lower abdomen, one of the few areas that wasn't covered by armor.

He didn't show mercy to his subordinates, and hit the liver with a heavy punch, even if he was a strong man, I am afraid that he would be instantly stunned by this punch.

"You...... What is this for?"

Unfortunately, Hilda was hit with a heavy punch, but her face did not change and she did not ...... Her expression changed because of the punch, but it was not because of the pain of being beaten, but because of a sad and lonely look.

"Lord Lutga, you lied to me...... You are an honest man, my proud master, and you have never told me a lie in eight years......"

As she spoke, Raki grabbed her wrist from her fist, which was attached to her lower abdomen. Lutga hurriedly tried to withdraw his hand, but the brute force between Sylda's slender fingers made it impossible for him to escape.

"Today, you did not hesitate to deceive me for the sake of Miss Laqi...... He even hit me hard. Miss Raghi, is she so important to you?"

"That's right...... That guy is my lover ...... now!"

Young people do not hide, but give answers openly.

"Hmm...... This time, you're not lying. Your expression is the same as when you rescued me in the imperial capital eight years ago......" The maid smiled a familiar gentle smile like the quiet moonlight.

Immediately after the "——!!", Lutga only felt that the air in his lungs was squeezed dry in one breath, and he couldn't even make a scream, and his whole body was knocked out like a boat in a storm.

After a whirlwind of the world, he only felt a sweetness in his chest, a warm current gushing out of his esophagus, and the smell of rust filled his entire mouth.

In the blurred vision, you can see that the trees behind you have been broken by the waist, and the thick trunk is lying next to your hand.

On the front, Hilda stomped on herself step by step, with a complicated expression that she didn't know whether to laugh or be sad. She raised her right hand and pointed the cannon at Rutega's legs, and the muzzle of the cannon glowed brightly.

Boom ——!

"I'm angry...... Because I'm jealous of Miss Rakhi. If I had to compare your love to Lute, I wouldn't lose to anyone in the world. ”

The fierce and deadly sound of cannons was mixed with the maid's soft and sincere confession. Lutga didn't have time to think about the meaning of his words, he instinctively squeezed out the last of his strength, and rolled to his side, barely avoiding the bombardment.

But the maid's attack was not over, and her left hand, in the light, turned into another strange cannon with a beehive-like muzzle, and the cannon spewed out countless flames in a continuous loud sound of "da-".

"I love you dearly, and I have been ...... since the day I was rescued by you I know how shameless it is for a servant to think of his master...... So I endured, and I told myself that as long as I could stay with you like this, I would be happy enough. ”

Hilda will hide in her heart, her deep love pouring out with 400 rounds of steel bullets per minute. The dwarf trees along the roadside were swept away beyond recognition, and the broken branches and sap danced with billowing smoke.

Bruised by the shredded ammunition, Rutga hunched over and desperately searched for cover where he could stop the bullets.

"I thought I could love everything you valued, your daughter, your territory, your people...... Even if one day, if you find the woman you like again, I will serve her as if I were serving you. ”

The missile bay flew into the air, splitting and projecting dense warheads, and the incendiary warheads that rained down turned a piece of plant in front of it into a hell burned like karmic fire.

Unable to find a place to hide in the flames, he could only wave his arms aimlessly, coughing violently as he tried to open the hot smoke while the mucous membranes of his trachea were burned.

"I know that you broke your heart for your deceased fiancée, and the pain in your heart, even after all these years...... No matter what I tried to appease you, it never healed...... But why...... Why is Miss Rathi able to do that?"

The Maid of Steel, like a rampaging beast, swept away the smoke, and she clinged to Lutega's body, knocking him out of the flames and riding dead under her.

"In my words...... Don't...... Can't you?"

It was a one-sided ravage, and in front of the maid, Lutga had no power to fight back, and now he was covered in devastation and pressed to the ground.

Hilda, the victor, did not let out a laugh, she buried her head deeply, hid her eyes with her bangs on her forehead, and her voice sounded like she was about to cry.
