BXBX NOVEL Chapter 338
My heart raced.
I stared at the amethyst and hardened.
My reasoning has shouted that it was nonsense.
The number of pioneers is seventy-two.
Having held the record of Storas, I know it clearly. That the devil of the amethyst may not be related to the other 72 devils.
No devil ever had an amethyst as a passage.
It may be something other than a pioneer.
In addition, even if it is related to the devils, if it is a devil under Neliard, I must grant its wish to use its power.
I used up my divine power to fight in the battle.
Summoning what is contained in amethyst without any clear information may be a mistake.
I might not only couldn’t protect my dad but also my brothers and my precious people.
But my instinct shouted that amethyst is my last hope.
‘Even if I summon the devil of amethyst, I need a spot left in etwal to use its ability.’
Someone said as I grabbed my skirt tight.
“Isn’t that death in your etwal?”
It was Pymon.
I was startled and quickly grabbed the amethyst as I infused it with divine power.
But the devil doesn’t appear.
‘There was an error in the etwal by subjugating only Agareth’s powers.’
If Agareth’s influence completely disappeared from the world, death would disappear, but it was impossible to predict when the influence of the forces that have lived for more than a thousand years would disappear.
[I’m still there.]
The voice of the strategist was heard in my head.
‘But then you…’
I have never lifted my devils. Aside from whether it was possible or not, I couldn’t predict what would happen to the devils I had released.
[I will be next to be released after the strategist.]
[Try me, child.]
[Next time will be me, stupid!]
[Next will be me.]
My devils shouted one after another.
The strategist appeared in front of my eyes. His collar fluttered in the wind.
He was the first soul I got my hands on for the first time.
I bit my lips. Then, I picked up a dagger that had fallen on the ground and hit one side of the etwal, which was occupied by his jewel.
Crumble-!
Along with a sharp sound,the jewel cracked.
And the strategist faded.
[It was quite a pleasure to watch your journey.]
“…….”
[I am looking forward to seeing you again.]
He became completely transparent. Then I grabbed the amethyst floating in the air.
A pillar of light rose after that. And…
Nothing appeared.
“What…….”
Why. Why?
It’s actually useless to sacrifice them and summon another one?
Can’t I save my dad?
My whole body was trembling. Tears streamed down my cheeks non-stop.
It was then.
“Leblaine.”
Someone grabbed my shoulder with a familiar voice.
I turned my head blankly to look at him.
“Adrian…?”
He smiled sweetly and bent one knee in front of me.
***
Adrian had never been desperate for anything in his life.
He inherited the devil’s blood and had a strong divine power, easily absorbed whatever he learned, and his appearance was also charming.
The prince was very lucky to have good conditions. However, some felt pity for him as he lost his mother, being checked excessively by Empress Yvonne, and he was not loved by his mother’s family, but it did not hurt Adrian that much.
Even when he never saw his mother, receive the indifference of the imperial family, the poison in his meal, and his grandfather, Marquis Chantele’s experiment.
He never felt bothered by anything. It was because he had been accustomed to the misfortune that had continued since birth.
So he had never been obsessed with anything.
Until he met the child.
“Now, let’s pway.”
“…….”
“Pwease let us be togwether for a long time in the next life.”
“……..”
“Even if we fight and get angry, let us be next to each other in the nwext life.”
“……..”
“If it hurts so much, take action every day so that today’s pain becomes just a trivial topic of a conversation.”
“…….”
“Let this cwild be happy.”
He thought he had never been obsessed with anything until he saw a child who was shaking with poor pronunciation with a lot of dirt on her hands.
He had been broken enough to not have emotions.
Until then, he wasn’t afraid of death.
When he saw that the court lady who tasted his meal collapsed with bloodshot eyes, he thought indifferently, ‘Someday I’m going to die in their hands.’
Because he had never felt warmth, he believed that the misfortune that had stuck to him ever since he was born was so natural that he did not value anything.
In fact, he realized that he was terribly lonely after meeting the child.
He knew that the disappointment he felt was more of the sadness of losing a friend.
That he wanted someone to be by his side… something like that…
“Now we’re fwiends. And fwiend keep their promises. So, see you someday.”
‘I didn’t know until I met you, Leblaine.’
He didn’t want to die until he met her again.
He struggled to live.
He used the Marquis of Chantelle who had become an empty doll and filled the empire with his own people.
He had a goal to continue his life which used to be meaningless.
“I lied. Actually, my name is Leblaine.”
He wanted to protect her after meeting her again.
“Mom……! Mom! No, let me go, Adrian!”
His goal is to end that child’s misfortune.
“Say you don’t want me to go.”
“…….”
“Tell me you didn’t lie to me, you didn’t want me to go away.”
He dreamed of happiness with that child.
What could be more precious than her?
He choked up when he was holding her in his arms, who was a span smaller than him. He wanted to cry.
He just realized
A love that is too great to bear can be painful.
That kid taught him everything.
‘That’s how she became my goal, dream and life at the same time.’
The moment Agareth disappeared, someone asked in his head.
[What is your desire even if it is exchanged for a life?]
He answered without hesitation.
‘The power to protect that child… !’
At that moment, he gained his power.
If she can regress, he will become a time traveler and protect her forever.
He will do that.
So please smile, Leblaine.
***
“I am the 73rd pillar. A being who will grant your wish.”
The moment she heard Adrian’s words, what Storas had said in ancient times came to mind.
“The pioneer who took the place of Hyugat immediately went to sleep.”
When the pioneer, a devil, disappears, another devil is born.
The quality of the divine power flowing from Adrian gradually changed, and eventually it became completely like the quality of the devil.
Then someone came to mind.
A woman with blonde hair who stood by me in ancient times as I was looking for my mother.
She became my mother by using the power of Amy.
The power that guided me in the past so that I can meet my mother.
‘How long have you been wasting time after you awaken your powers?’
From ancient times until now, how many times have you been navigating the maze and protecting me?
If I were to say my wish, then he would…….
Adrian hugged me when I cried like a child.
“But then you, Adrian, you…!”
“Let me protect you.”
Oh, how pitiful, foolish, and lovely you are.
“Tell me, Leblaine.”
“…Give.”
“…….”
“Save my family, save me, Adrian.”
As soon as the tears fell, Adrian’s pillar of light shone brilliantly.
When I opened my eyes again, he wasn’t there.
There was no one in this world who remembered him.
…Even me
***
Leblaine, who was sitting far away, shook her head and raised it.
When she looked around, people who were shaking also looked around with puzzled faces.
“Wha- what?”
“Why all of a sudden…….”
As if their previous memory had been completely erased, they were moved to a different place.
‘Dad almost got hit by Agareth’s fire on my behalf, and…what happened?’
Leblaine hurriedly grabbed Theodore.
“Dad!”
“Father!”
“Father!”
The Dubblede siblings grabbed Theodore, who was lying on the floor.
Fortunately, Theodore was only a little tired.
Leblaine breathed a sigh of relief as Theodore hugged his daughter and shouted.
“Hurry! Support the devils to defeat the pope!”
Leblaine hastily looked at the pope.
Storas, who was facing the Pope, was gradually being pushed back.
Leblaine hurriedly pulled out the bow she was wearing on her back.
She picked up a special arrow that had fallen to the floor and aimed at the pope.
Swish-!
An arrow that flew through the wind pierced the pope’s arm.
“Ugh!”
The pope wrapped his arms around himself and stepped back.
‘What?’
The pope can’t attack us?
He freely uses the devil’s power, and our attack does not work properly on him because of his special condition.
‘No, the attack actually worked. I… but why do I feel this strange feeling?’
“Kid, avoid it!”
Isaac shouted.
Leblaine shook off the magic that flew towards her with divine power.
‘This is not the time.’
For now, dealing with the pope is a priority.
She ran towards the pope.
[So you can smile.]
Without knowing that a familiar voice was heard behind her back.
