Chapter 128
“Damn it, damn it! This makes no sense!”
Yuanna Lucy continued to be attacked by the Magical Beasts because she was drenched in their blood.
The Magical Beast that Prince of Asdal was stepping on had nearly sunk into the Swamp.
Prince of Asdal had abandoned hope of survival. Instead, he drew his Bowstring and shot dead a Magical Beast that leaped from the opposite side, helping her.
If it comes to this, I should at least save her.
Then Yuanna Lucy suddenly changed direction. She immediately lured the Magical Beast toward where Prince of Asdal was sinking.
The Swampland had sparse, eerie Trees scattered throughout, and she grabbed a drooping Tree Branch that extended to the Waterside, hanging from it.
Using the momentum of her suspension as recoil, she kicked the Magical Beast with her feet, utilizing the terrain and surroundings with remarkable skill.
I knew Yuanna Lucy was agile. However, she had only ever used such advantages to flee from Magical Beasts.
So this was the first time I witnessed her leveraging her strengths so effectively.
In an instant, she closed the distance to him and seized his Collar.
“Listen here, Your Highness. Have you ever been hit by anyone in your life?!”
At Yuanna Lucy’s cry, Prince of Asdal’s brow furrowed sharply. What an absurd question to ask at a time like this.
“Is that what you call conversation?”
“Well then, this must be your first experience.”
“What?!”
Prince of Asdal couldn’t ask further. The Orangutan Magical Beast had drawn dangerously close behind Yuanna Lucy.
It trampled over the other Magical Beasts in pursuit and swung its massive fist toward them.
Yuanna Lucy, still gripping Prince of Asdal’s Collar, quickly ducked, and as a result, he took the creature’s fist as a Direct Hit and flew far away.
“Damn it!”
The blow was so forceful that his bones felt broken. This was also the first time in his life he’d cursed so profusely.
He was immediately hurled out of the Swampland and crashed onto the flat Dirt Ground.
He’d escaped the Swampland by being beaten by the Magical Beast.
Had he been struck differently, he might have suffered Instant Death. It was reckless, but ultimately, she had saved his life once again.
Moreover, the real problem wasn’t him—it was her.
Yuanna Lucy continued to lure the Magical Beasts and cross over the stepping stones. It was Extremely Dangerous, so much so that one worried she might be torn apart by them at any moment.
Prince of Asdal lay sprawled on the ground, unable to support his own body, watching Yuanna Lucy approach from a distance with an anxious gaze.
It was so precarious—she was caught by the Orangutan Magical Beast right before reaching solid ground.
“Damn it, be careful!”
She plunged into the Swampland along with the giant Orangutan Magical Beast. Just as she was swimming out with her head above the surface, she was caught again by the Magical Beast submerged below and disappeared completely.
“This… what on earth… this can’t be… this can’t be…”
Prince of Asdal stared blankly at the spot where Yuanna Lucy had vanished, his face wet with shock.
Across the murky, silent surface of the water, Magical Beasts could be seen roaring.
Then suddenly, the water churned violently. Something burst forth from the surface with a splash.
As if struck by something and launched upward, it was hurled right before Prince of Asdal’s eyes.
It was Yuanna Lucy.
Covered in mud, algae, and the blood of Magical Beasts, Yuanna Lucy let out a faint groan and pushed herself up.
“Are you alright!”
At Prince of Asdal’s startled cry, she caught sight of him and broke into a wide smile.
She rummaged through her pocket and pulled out something rectangular. It was small as a finger and looked rigid to the touch.
Prince of Asdal had once seen Margaret Rose Flone place a similar object into her Backpack at the Southern Island Cabin.
Yuanna Lucy wiped away the mud streaming down her face with a careless swipe of her hand, then took a deep breath. When she opened the lid of the rectangular object, flames erupted with a whoosh.
Prince of Asdal flinched in surprise and recoiled.
“Where did you get such a Magical Tool…?”
“I picked it up this morning. As for how to use it, I just remembered an older sister I know taught me how back then.”
An “older sister I know”—the explanation was vague at best. When Margaret Rose Flone had carried a similar object, she clearly hadn’t known what it was…
Madness flickered across Yuanna Lucy’s green eyes. She smiled despite her disheveled appearance.
Her face looked eerie, as if she were half-mad.
“Did you know that Fire catches easily when water mixed with Magical Beast blood is used?”
Yuanna Lucy asked Prince of Asdal. He seemed to recall hearing something similar through his Aide when commanding the Monster Subjugation Corps. But since he couldn’t remember precisely, he furrowed his brow and shook his head.
She rose to her feet. As Prince of Asdal tried to follow her up, Pain wracked his body and he cried out, collapsing back onto the Floor. His bones were definitely broken.
“Just watch.”
Seeing his state, Yuanna Lucy grinned wickedly and hurled the Flame she held toward the Swampland.
Whoosh—
The Swampland was already filled with Magical Beast corpses, so when she threw the fireball into the center, the entire Swamp ignited.
The horde of Magical Beasts that had gathered to devour them caught Fire all at once.
The vast Swampland burned together with the Magical Beast horde. Agonized Roars from the Magical Beasts filled the air.
“Are you watching? Jenas! Wait there! I’m coming soon!”
Yuanna Lucy shouted while watching the Magical Beasts burn and die, then burst into laughter at the top of her voice.
Prince of Asdal had no idea who she was talking to. He stared at Yuanna Lucy with a bewildered expression.
She truly seemed like a mad person. At the very least, she didn’t appear to be thinking rationally.
Watching her, Prince of Asdal came to a realization.
The reason two people with no Survival Ability could survive—it was because she was mad.
She had changed somehow from the moment Margaret Rose Flone’s party fell into the River.
Then, recently, she had suddenly begun to act as if she’d recovered lost Memories, as if she knew something, spouting incomprehensible words.
He was curious about what had happened, but before asking, he should at least thank her for saving him.
Yet he couldn’t bring himself to speak those words. The overwhelming Pain had left his mind blank.
With broken bones, he couldn’t move his body. Moreover, he’d given up all the Fruit he’d gathered over days to Yuanna Lucy, so he’d eaten almost nothing, and his mind had grown hazy.
He had survived, but perhaps it would have been better to die. Prince of Asdal let out a groan filled with Pain before losing consciousness.
So it was much later that he would hear the ‘truth’ from Yuanna Lucy.
* * *
‘The Margaret Rose Flone you know isn’t Margaret Rose Flone.’
‘It seems like a different soul has entered Margaret Rose Flone’s body.’
When Jenas first said those words, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid wasn’t surprised. He had already suspected as much.
‘The Young Lady really seems to have become a different person.’
‘She is a different person.’
‘I’ve truly become someone else. Just think of it as me being reborn.’
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid suddenly recalled the conversation he’d had with Margaret Rose Flone when he first opened his eyes on This Island.
Damn it.
Enoch muttered a curse laden with self-reproach. Perhaps Margaret Rose Flone had been sending signals from the very beginning.
Asking me to recognize her.
Kaiden’s expression wasn’t particularly shocked either. Though Archbishop Luzef and Diego Bastian Vilterheim seemed to react differently.
‘She must have known it herself.’
‘All of you were deceived.’
Jenas’s words lacked evidence. Yet for those who had come to regard Margaret Rose Flone as a completely different person, his statement was no different than fanning a spark into flame.
Jenas surveyed the confused group with a satisfied expression on his face.
‘That’s what I came to tell you.’
After that, he vanished without a trace.
Enoch watched Jenas disappear, but made no move to pursue him. Finding Margaret Rose Flone took priority.
“Let’s find Margaret first.”
At Enoch’s words, everyone remained silent and dazed. Only Kaiden appeared lost in thought.
Enoch let out a sigh.
“Everyone, snap out of it. The young mage has disappeared.”
Only then did everyone look up at the tree in alarm. Just as Enoch said, the silver-haired beautiful boy who had been in the tree top was now gone without a trace.
“What on earth is happening here?”
Archbishop Luzef gathered his luggage and struggled to hoist the heavy backpack onto his shoulders as he asked Enoch. Kaiden, who had been watching Luzef quietly, snatched the bag from him and slung it effortlessly over his shoulder.
“I think it would be better to discuss this after we find Margaret Rose Flone?”
Kaiden turned to Enoch and spoke.
“Let’s split up and search for Margaret Rose Flone. That bastard might do something else, so our best course of action right now is to find her.”
Enoch’s indifferent gaze, with his arms crossed, fell upon Kaiden’s face. He nodded in agreement with Kaiden’s words, then turned to Diego Bastian Vilterheim.
“Diego Bastian Vilterheim.”
“Your command, Your Highness.”
The moment Enoch finished calling his name, Diego dropped to one knee with precise, disciplined movements.
“You move with the Bishop.”
“Yes? But….”
Diego glanced briefly at Archbishop Luzef. He said nothing, but his gaze was like that of someone looking at an untrustworthy colleague. Archbishop Luzef, quick to pick up on such things, narrowed the space between his eyebrows with displeasure.
“Any objections?”
“None, Your Highness.”
Diego answered Enoch’s question without hesitation. Kaiden, watching this while wearing the backpack, spoke to Enoch.
“Let’s move quickly.”
Enoch discussed with Diego when and where they would meet again, how they would signal each other, and other details before moving with Kaiden.
Once Enoch felt they had put enough distance between themselves and Diego and Archbishop Luzef, he turned to Kaiden.
“You’re thinking the same thing, aren’t you?”
Kaiden ruffled his hair while wearing the backpack and let out a sigh.
“The Bunker is the only place Margaret Rose Flone would go from here.”
“Whatever the truth is, whatever Margaret Rose Flone is doing in the Bunker, we absolutely must find out first.”
At Enoch’s matter-of-fact words, Kaiden sighed and muttered irritably.
“Of course. That way we can protect Margaret Rose Flone from the others.”
For once, Kaiden and Enoch were in agreement. Enoch nodded and concurred with his words.
“Then let’s head to the Bunker.”
“Ah. But the Map is with Margaret Rose Flone.”
At Kaiden’s words, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid walked ahead with an unbothered expression.
“I’ve spent so long on the Battlefield that I’m accustomed to reading Maps. It’s possible for me to memorize it after seeing it once.”
At Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s response, Kaiden finally relaxed.
Thanks to that, they didn’t wander long and found the Entrance to what appeared to be the Bunker in half a day. Though they did search the surrounding area for quite some time since it was hidden between the Bushes.
The problem was that someone had arrived before them.
At first, I didn’t even realize that place was a Door. If the Door hadn’t been slightly ajar, creating a small gap, I might have simply passed by. I only then discovered the Door Handle attached to the Stone Wall.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid and Kaiden exchanged a glance before opening the Door and stepping inside.
The moment the heavy Stone Door opened, Stairs descending directly downward came into view.
All the walls were made of solid Stone Wall. It felt as though this place alone would remain safe no matter what happened outside.
As they descended the Stairs slowly, they encountered an unidentified Man cradling Margaret Rose Flone in his arms.
A Man with Silver Hair and Red Eyes, possessing a striking appearance. Unlike Kaiden with his sharp features, this Man with his languid aura remained composed even upon meeting them.
