I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 157

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blue blood streamed from the white fur of the demon rabbit.

 

The moment he tried to go help after seeing that sight, sharp thorns and whip-like stems lashed out again.

 

Gerald gritted his teeth and struck down the thorns. The deflected thorns stuck into the ground with thudding sounds.

 

As if they held some grudge against him, the demon flowers’ attacks were fierce and persistent.

 

The demon flowers, with stems as thick as wooden barrels and several meters tall, spread out like a maze.

 

After hesitating briefly, Gerald cut down another flying stem, then weaved between the flowers, moving his feet here and there.

 

The stems chased after him as if alive, then got tangled in the flower stalks and stopped.

 

The demon rabbit also followed him, running around everywhere while shaking off stems.

 

“Marine!”

 

Gerald called out for Marine with all his strength.

 

“Gerald! I’m here!”

 

Her voice could be heard faintly from far away.

 

Gerald ran toward that direction. The demon rabbit ran alongside him.

 

After escaping the Demon Flower Maze, a wide open space like a field appeared.

 

Marine was there. Marine was half-floating in the air with both her legs and arms bound.

 

“Marine!”

 

Gerald quickly threw his sword to cut the stem hanging from her feet.

 

The sword remained floating in the air, moving in the direction Gerald gestured while cutting the stems one by one.

 

Marine looked at the sword with anxious eyes.

 

“If you cut so recklessly, I’ll fall… Kyaa!”

 

Just before Marine fell to the floor, Gerald caught and embraced her body.

 

Perhaps startled, her body was trembling.

 

Gerald gently stroked her back soothingly.

 

“Marine, it’s okay.”

 

Marine wrapped her arms around his neck and breathed through her mouth.

 

“I kept breathing only through my mouth.”

 

“Good job.”

 

As Gerald patted her back and turned around, the demon rabbit suddenly opened its eyes wide.

 

“Grrrrr!”

 

The demon rabbit suddenly rushed at him with a fierce expression.

 

Gerald immediately lifted the sword from the floor, but the demon rabbit pushed him aside with its body and stood where he had been.

 

Thunk.

 

A flower stem that had turned sharp like a spear pierced the demon rabbit’s shoulder and suspended it in the air.

 

Gerald frowned.

 

Damn it. Dozens of stems were moving constantly without rest, so he missed the sound of them approaching.

 

“Grrrrr…”

 

“Bunny Bunny!”

 

When Marine jumped down from his arms and tried to run to the demon rabbit, Gerald grabbed her with his hand.

 

“It’s dangerous.”

 

“It’s going to die like that!”

 

Gerald tried to cut the stem with his sword, but this one was different from the other stems. Even when wrapped with aura, it didn’t cut easily.

 

Bunny Bunny seemed to have lost strength as it blinked drowsily and dropped its head.

 

When Bunny Bunny’s head, which had been floating in the air, dropped down with a thud, a pink heart-shaped spot that had been hidden by its fur was revealed.

 

“…This can’t be.”

 

The spot pierced his eyes sharply.

 

The pink heart shape that was so unique he had often touched it.

 

Bunny Bunny was his pet rabbit.

 

Why hadn’t he noticed earlier? How foolish.

 

He had thought Bunny Bunny’s behavior was simple luck, but Bunny Bunny remembered and helped him.

 

Even though its owner had forgotten.

 

Tears instantly welled up in Marine’s eyes.

 

“Rabbit!”

 

When Marine let out a scream-like sound and tried to move forward, Gerald quickly stopped her.

 

“Marine, it’s dangerous.”

 

“It’s the rabbit I raised. My pet rabbit. And I didn’t even know and was just scared…”

 

Seeing Marine’s desperate face, Gerald made the aura around his sword thicker and sawed through the stem.

 

When the stem was about half cut, another stem pierced through Bunny Bunny’s belly.

 

Blue blood dripped down the stem to the floor drop by drop.

 

“No!”

 

Marine covered her mouth while tears streamed down.

 

The stem threw Bunny Bunny to the floor as if it had done its job.

 

Marine approached the rabbit while swallowing her tears.

 

“Rabbit…”

 

Bunny Bunny, who had its eyes closed, weakly lifted its eyelids.

 

Her crying reflection was visible in its large silver eyes.

 

“I’m sorry, rabbit. Sister didn’t recognize you early enough…”

 

Bunny Bunny slowly blinked as if to say it was okay.

 

Marine tore her shirt with the Three-Section Staff Blade and pressed it against Bunny Bunny’s belly where blood kept seeping out.

 

“It’s okay, it’ll be okay.”

 

Marine bit her lips while trying to comfort Bunny Bunny.

 

How exactly should she treat a demon beast?

 

While her mind went blank, a loud sound rang out from the side.

 

Bang. Bang.

 

Marine turned her head toward the sound. Gerald was blocking the relentless attacks of the stems.

 

Marine bit her lips while watching that scene with trembling eyes.

 

What exactly should she do?

 

“Marine! We need to get out of here quickly.”

 

“But the rabbit…”

 

“I’m sorry, Marine. There’s no choice.”

 

Gerald, who had approached Marine, helped her stand up.

 

Marine looked down at Bunny Bunny.

 

“Grrrrr.”

 

Bunny Bunny blinked as if telling them to hurry and go.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

The demon flowers suddenly turned their heads to one side. The pouring attacks of stems also stopped.

 

Marine and Gerald looked with tense faces at one spot that was gradually becoming brighter.

 

A beautiful flower with petals shining in rainbow colors glided toward them while emitting beams of light.

 

Gerald gritted his teeth so hard his jaw muscles bulged. His cold gaze was fixed on the rainbow-colored demon flower.

 

“Marine.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“That flower is the boss of this place. I had my suspicions until I saw that thing.”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“It seems like it brought you here to get revenge on me.”

 

“What?”

 

She asked with her eyes as if to say what kind of nonsense that was.

 

Gerald glanced at the demon beast rabbit beside her.

 

He didn’t know how Marine’s rabbit had become a demon beast, but the demon beast rabbit clearly remembered and helped her.

 

If he hadn’t witnessed that scene, an assumption he wouldn’t have thought of took root in his mind.

 

That another demon flower had set a trap here for revenge against the demon flower that had blinded his eyes.

 

“Marine.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Close your eyes when I signal you.”

 

“Why?”

 

Marine looked at him with a worried expression.

 

Kind-hearted as she was, she would be terribly sad if she had to leave that rabbit behind. Moreover, hadn’t the demon beast rabbit even saved her?

 

He couldn’t take both Marine and the injured rabbit out of this place.

 

So he had to do what he could do best.

 

If he killed that leader flower, the nearby demon flowers would also die like last time.

 

“Marine, use your bracelet and stay next to the rabbit.”

 

“It’ll be okay, right?”

 

Marine looked up at him with worried eyes.

 

He could do anything to protect her.

 

Gerald gazed at her with warm eyes and made a vow.

 

“Don’t worry. I’m a Vines.”

 

Those were words more trustworthy than anything else.

 

“Marine, close your eyes when I tell you to.”

 

“I understand. Be careful.”

 

Gerald smiled to reassure Marine and turned around.

 

His face turned cold as he walked toward the splendid demon flower.

 

The splendid demon flower stood motionless as if it had been waiting for him.

 

Gerald drew out the strongest energy he could muster and wrapped his sword with aura.

 

The leader demon flower before his eyes was larger and more splendid than the previous leader demon flower.

 

As the colorful petals spread wide open, transparent seed-like things were densely embedded in the center, and green stamens flickered like snakes.

 

Gerald stood before the demon flower with his eyes completely closed to avoid losing his sight again.

 

The demon flower shot a petal at him.

 

Sharp energy flew toward him and he tried to strike it down immediately, but it was too strong. Unable to withstand the power of the petal, he was pushed straight back.

 

Whoosh whoosh. With fierce sounds, knife-like thorns flew at him this time.

 

As the leader demon flower began its attack, the other demon flowers that had been quiet also simultaneously poured attacks on him.

 

Meanwhile, Marine took out her three-section staff and created a barrier, then stood as if guarding the fallen Bunny Bunny.

 

Flower stems approached quickly as if trying to attack her and Bunny Bunny.

 

Thud. The flower stem blocked by the barrier bounced off to the side.

 

Marine opened her eyes wide and looked at the transparent barrier. To think it could even block such strong-looking flower stems.

 

Marine felt like she would bow down if Zeromian were right in front of her.

 

When she looked back at Bunny Bunny, it was breathing heavily with its eyes barely open. Fortunately, it was still holding on well.

 

Marine watched Gerald fighting in the distance and wondered what she could do.

 

“Grrrr…”

 

Bunny Bunny behind her let out a pained groan.

 

It would hurt less if it could just fall asleep.

 

At that moment, the notebook came to mind.

 

Though she wasn’t certain, if she had really put Bunny Bunny to sleep before, wouldn’t the sleep inducing effect work on other demon beasts too?
