112. Sanctuary (7)

“It appeared!”

Rkultu’s eye that emerged splitting the sky in half illuminated the entire capital and more.

The intense yellow light stole away all colors and dyed the entire white temple in its own hue.

Everyone inside the temple knelt down, filled with awe at the overwhelming presence.

Only Ohen was running around.

His distant white pupils were also dyed the same color as Rkultu.

“The wedding has begun! Come now, answer quickly and kiss!”

Ignoring Ohen who was jumping around happily like a child, Yosua still only looked at Ryuie.

“You don’t need to answer me anymore, Ryuie.”

Yosua bent his waist and picked up a bow and arrow that had been lying on the floor without him realizing it until then.

“What are you doing.”

“Struggling?”

Yosua smiled gently. When he pulled the bowstring, the stiff wood bent greatly and curved backward.

“You know arrows have a much longer range than guns, right?”

“Don’t be foolish. It’s like shooting the sun.”

Ryuie wanted to sneer, but Yosua was in a more deranged state than expected.

“Yes, I love you too.”

“What are you saying?!”

Whoosh!

Instead of an answer, the bowstring snapped.

But the arrow that was clearly aimed at the sky suddenly bent sideways and flew toward her.

‘Magic?’

Magic doesn’t work inside the temple.

But Yosua was still outside the door.

As soon as Ryuie’s feet left the ground, she shouted at Yosua who was still outside the door.

“Come inside!”

Ohen’s eyes narrowed as he caught the flying arrow with his tentacle in one swift motion.

“Huh?”

“If you kill him, I’ll kill you!”

Ryuie shouted, unclear about who she was yelling at.

“Are you planning to lure me out, Crown Prince?”

Yosua, who had nocked the next arrow on the string, smiled broadly.

“Rkultu has no interest in humans, but is that the same for other gods?”

Yosua shot another arrow. This time too, the arrow bent on its own and flew.

Precisely toward Ryuie.

“!”

Ryuie’s body reacted and she jumped to dodge the arrow. A human body couldn’t match that speed, but a god’s tentacles could catch up.

Ryuie stood frozen with her mouth agape, unsure which hurt her pride more – the arrow flying toward her or the god blocking the attack for her.

Ohen was equally flustered.

“You just said you loved Ryuie until now.”

“Yes.”

“The wedding has even started. If Rkultu appeared, you must be truly sincere?”

“That’s right.”

Yosua shrugged his shoulders in a way that looked almost refreshing.

“There’s no lie in my heart.”

“If I hadn’t blocked it just now, Ryuie would have really died.”

“Yes.”

Yosua answered calmly, then this time aimed his bow straight at Ryuie instead of the sky.

“Please keep up the good work from now on.”

“Yosuaaa!”

Enraged Ryuie completely changed direction and began charging toward Yosua.

Her hand flashed and the gun she had used to kill Glem appeared.

“So that’s the blessing placed on the ducal house’s ring.”

“That’s right!”

“As expected, you already had plenty of opportunities to kill me in the Republic.”

Yosua deliberately stood with his chest spread open in front of the gun barrel. Despite her excited voice, Ryuie pulled the hammer with calm eyes and hands.

Even though she was charging with a weapon, Yosua looked delighted.

“And yet you threw away those opportunities. Did you spare me because you loved me?”

“By whose hand did you die?!”

“It’s because you loved me.”

Yosua genuinely chuckled.

“What should I do. I’m so happy.”

Bang!

Ryuie, who had truly lost her mind, pulled the trigger and fired a bullet.

“Ahhh!”

Instead of Yosua’s scream, Ryuie’s irritated shout burst out.

Ironically, the magic that had changed the arrow’s direction was working exactly the same way near Yosua.

When the bullet that should have hit its mark only destroyed an innocent temple pillar, Ryuie stomped her feet furiously.

“Stop making those disgusting sounds! Are you crazy? Have you lost it? Are you out of your mind?!”

“Your denial is even cuter.”

“Ha, I’m really going to go insane!”

Ryuie hurled curses.

It was hard to believe such violent words and sounds could be poured out between two people who supposedly loved each other.

Everyone inside the temple turned pale and lost all color from their faces upon seeing the bullets being fired repeatedly.

“Has His Highness the Crown Prince gone mad?”

“I’m scared… so scared…”

“Mommy…”

It was a scene bewildering enough to confuse anyone watching and listening.

Every time Ryuie jumped around in anger, Yosua’s happiness seemed to grow stronger.

As if it were all proof of love.

Of course, to others, it all looked like a scene that raised suspicions of mental illness.

“Did he go mad from not being loved for ten years?”

“If that’s how affection is expressed, people would never be able to have children.”

“Wedding ceremonies don’t normally proceed like this, do they?”

“Priest, are you sure this is really His Highness the Crown Prince’s instruction?”

“…We’d like to believe so too.”

Having used up all three bullets, Ryuie cursed again and flipped the gun upside down.

Reloading would take time, and during that time, Yosua nocked another arrow to his bowstring.

Ryuie fixed the gun with her foot and raised her head. Looking straight at the arrow flying toward the center of her forehead, she saw the black tentacle approaching just before impact and erupted in anger again.

“Drive him into the temple!”

“What?”

“The Temple of Rkultu! That bastard keeps making my bullets miss with magic!”

Wherever the mage was hidden, once inside the temple, the power of magic would be much weaker.

Of course, so would the power of other gods.

Ohen pointed out.

“Entering the Temple of Rkultu won’t weaken my power…”

“Ah! I get it! Handle it yourself! Who told you to get weaker? All I ordered was to shove that bastard into the temple!”

Ohen rolled his eyes with displeasure for the first time, then moved with large strides using his tentacles and charged at Yosua.

“Eek.”

Yosua made a rather cute sound considering the crisis and moved to the side.

“Sorry, but I didn’t come alone either.”

The soldiers who had come to the temple with Yosua stood up with very reluctant expressions.

“Fire!”

Arrows flew like rain toward Ryuie and Ohen.

“This will truly be a grand wedding ceremony.”

Ohen’s body seemed to compress in half, then hundreds of tentacles burst out from his flattened form and began blocking all the arrows.

Whether her god was struggling or not, Ryuie was focused entirely on loading all her bullets.

Click.

Lifting the gun loaded with three bullets again, Ryuie’s eyes flashed.

‘Where did he go?’

Ryuie’s eyes wandered in confusion as she scanned the surroundings.

Yosua’s figure had disappeared again.

‘I wasn’t supposed to give him the invisibility magic tool.’

She had let her guard down since it was the first moment meeting the revived Yosua.

She still couldn’t understand why his body felt colder when he had a soul than when he didn’t.

‘It’s because of Glem.’

It was because of her lover whose body temperature had been too hot.

Whether she felt Yosua lacked such passion, or because of thoughts of betrayal.

She hadn’t planned to blow Glem’s head off with a gun.

‘Maybe you went crazy then too?’

If Yosua wanted to feed her head a bullet in the same way, she couldn’t stop him.

But doing it after such a heartfelt love confession was incomprehensible.

Ryuie hadn’t confessed.

‘Besides, I didn’t even prepare a wedding!’

Of course, interpreting that as love was Yosua’s freedom.

It was almost unfair.

Normally, it would be more natural and normal for a human to come to hate Ryuie.

If he still said he loved Ryuie even after things had reached this point, then Yosua would really seem like nothing more than a puppet moving according to a god’s will, not a human.

She hadn’t expected the revived Yosua to feel even more unfamiliar.

‘You’re not the Yosua I knew. You’re not Glem either! What the hell are you?’

But on the other hand, his absurd recklessness somehow reminded her alternately of Yosua and Glem, making Ryuie’s heart strangely flutter.
