Chapter 270

* * *

“What? Why did they all come out? Did I see wrong?”

I was observing the situation with a display magnifying glass when I saw strangely familiar silhouettes and shouted in surprise.

“Kyung! Kyung!”

“Yes! Grand Duchess!”

“Do you see the blonde and ash-gray hair over there?”

The Vice Commander who checked where I pointed with the magnifying glass nodded.

“Yes! I can see them!”

“Are they handsome?”

“Yes! They’re handsome!”

The Vice Commander who answered loudly said.

“Grand Duchess! The Twin Young Masters are also confirmed!”

“Really?”

‘No way, then it really is Benjamin and Klaus?’

Benjamin is one thing, but is Klaus crazy? Why is a kid with a hole in his stomach out on the battlefield?

“If the Summer Continent Prince dies here, it’ll really be troublesome. Kidnap him as politely as possible, no. Arrest, no. Escort him here! Say it’s my order!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

I continued tracking their movements with the magnifying glass, frowning.

And I was able to immediately discover something strange.

‘What is this?’

It was because all four of them were precisely taking down only A-grade Creatures.

‘What’s that about?’

Is it the Male Leads’ genius intuition? How is that possible?

‘Could it be that they can see the Status Window too?’

I moved the magnifying glass to find Ferdinand. But Ferdinand wasn’t only taking down A-grade Creatures.

Though there weren’t any living Creatures left on the path he passed through anyway.

‘What is this? What’s going on?’

I moved the magnifying glass again in confusion. I saw sparkling eyes right in front of me.

“Ah!”

Arms that firmly caught me as I almost fell backward. I dropped the magnifying glass and shouted with blazing eyes.

“Hey!”

“What.”

Klaus, who had approached at some point, was staring down at me.

There were various ways to make someone’s heart burst with frustration.

First, going out to the battlefield in a near-death state and fighting dangerously without saying a word!

“Are you really crazy? Is there a hole somewhere else instead of your stomach? What are you trying to do by going out and fighting with that body?”

“Then should I just lie down? In this situation?”

“There are plenty of Knights besides you, you know?”

“What if the Knights lose?”

“What?”

“What if you die then?”

“Besides the Knights here, Father is here and Grandfather is here too… Hah.”

I felt it was meaningless to argue. Because his face was very pale.

Moreover, he was wearing loose upper clothing, and through it I could glimpse the Bandage tightly wrapped around his abdomen.

“Blood is showing through. Let’s go to a Physician.”

Klaus didn’t even check his wound once despite my words. He just stared at me with those blue eyes that resembled a wolf.

The Benefit he had shown flashed through my mind. Countless pasts followed like beads on a string, but…

“I know you have a lot to say, but let’s go to a Physician first. After we go, we can talk and it won’t be…”

My words that it wouldn’t be too late never made it out of my mouth.

“…!”

“Grand Duchess!”

“Grand Duchess! Your Highness the Prince!”

The moment I thought a shadow was falling over our heads.

“Ha…”

Coriko’s hair, that is, the black tentacles, struck down directly at Klaus.

“…?!”

“Grand Duchess! Your Highness the Prince!”

“Protect the Grand Duchess!”

The Knight Orders rushed over in a crowd and formed a wall. The Knights cut off the tentacles that had pierced Klaus, but they couldn’t do anything about the new hole in his body.

“Call the Physicians!”

“Reorganize into formation number 7!”

Amid the Knights’ noisy shouting, I felt like I was about to panic. Because I couldn’t believe that Klaus had been attacked and collapsed.

‘Coriko couldn’t properly attack the Male Leads.’

That was the result of my continuous observation with the magnifying glass.

But only Klaus was attacked by Coriko.

Was it because he had seen all of the past? Or was it for another reason?

“Tu, Tulia…”

I couldn’t not know the reason. Because Klaus already had a history of being hurt by Coriko.

Because his body’s vitality was already waning…

“Klaus. Hey. Klaus…”

What was most terrible of all.

[System] Warning!

[System] Dangerous situation occurred!

Were the letters glowing bright red before my eyes.

[System] Due to being directly attacked by ‘Coriko’, ‘Klaus Rosevar’s’ Mind Control level increases!

[System] ‘Klaus Rosevar’ begins transforming into a Creature!

[System] Time remaining until ‘Klaus Rosevar’ transforms into a Creature: 5 minutes!

5 minutes.

The incredibly short time took my breath away.

I immediately used Mother’s keepsake, used the divine artifact called Word Command to scribble messily in the air.

-givemetheanswertoanythingwhileimaskingnicely

[System] The Sacred Tree’s Purification Power is activated!

(☆Tip: Purification becomes possible with your soul!)

(☆Tip: Substitutes for the soul include flesh and fresh blood!)

My eyes snapped wide open.

“Everyone turn around! Never look this way!”

I gritted my teeth and shouted.

“And don’t let anyone in! If they try to enter, kick them out!”

“…Yes, my lady!”

The knights hurriedly turned around. It happened in an instant.

“Klaus! Bite!”

I frantically opened Klaus’s mouth and thrust my arm into it. My worry about what to do if he didn’t bite was unfounded.

‘Argh!’

Because Klaus bit down on my arm without any hesitation.

The pain of another’s fangs piercing into my flesh, an agony I’d never experienced before, made my spine shiver for just a moment.

“Klaus, you….”

I couldn’t finish my words. Klaus’s pupils, which had sometimes narrowed like a wolf’s but were still the eyes of a rational human. His clean whites were turning pitch black.

“….”

So this is how one becomes a Creature.

How one becomes such a monster.

Never to return again….

The time granted to Klaus was diminishing far too quickly.

“Bite more. Bite harder, I said. Suck the blood dry.”

I gritted my teeth and shouted quietly. But Klaus’s pace of taking in blood was sluggish. I could soon understand why.

His eyes, now turned black, seemed to be already half-enslaved to Coriko.

Though I felt like bursting into tears at any moment, I gritted my teeth and shouted.

“Klaus!”

Everything before my eyes seemed to turn red.

“I’m going to get rid of Coriko! Kill her! Burn her at the stake and tear her corpse to shreds to use as fertilizer for the Sacred Tree Becrux!”

If a Creature’s ego was growing within Klaus, he would react more strongly to words insulting Coriko.

“…Urgh!”

My prediction was correct. I had to grit my teeth against pain that felt like my forearm would be severed.

Klaus’s pupils were rippling with black. That unfamiliar gaze filled with hatred toward me.

However, at the same time.

I could feel that Klaus was truly doing his best to fight against the Creature’s ego stirring within him.

His jaw strength was beyond imagination, and if he had completely lost his self-awareness, I would have already become one-armed.

“Tulia!”

“Your Highness Klaus!”

Familiar voices could be heard beyond the human wall formed by the knights, but I had no time to respond.

“The Grand Duchess has given orders!”

“You cannot enter!”

The knights were no amateurs. Though there were numerous powerful figures here, I currently held the highest command authority over them.

In truth, even if someone had deliberately broken through this knight barrier, I probably wouldn’t have had the strength to protest.

It hurt too much. The sensation of sharp teeth piercing and boring in was more chilling and terrifyingly painful than I had imagined.

“Get rid of Coriko? Get rid of her? Get rid of her…?”

I muttered those words like a half-mad person to provoke Klaus.

Cold sweat beaded on my forehead and I felt like I might shed tears if I moved even slightly.

I had no mental capacity to check the mind control level. I wasn’t strong enough to remain calm while experiencing the pain of having my arm severed while still alive.

Just when I thought I might really lose consciousness from this.

“….”

I felt the sharp fangs that had been deeply embedded in my forearm withdraw with a swift sensation.

Klaus slowly raised his head. Just as I gasped and exhaled.

“Urgh…!”

The scream I had desperately held back burst out.

Because razor-sharp claws like those of a beast dug into my forearm that was on the verge of breaking.

“…Klaus.”

The black rippling mist tried to invade beyond the whites into even the pupils.

I tried to check Klaus’s mind control level even now, but perhaps because he wasn’t yet a Creature, no numbers appeared.

However, if there was one faint hope. It was that my blood, the blood that had stained his hands completely red, wasn’t falling to the ground.

Was it being absorbed into him through his claws, through his blood vessels?

“Tulia Frazier.”

At that growling voice like a beast, I nearly burst into tears.

Clear evidence that his will as a human remained.

“Yes. Klaus. Tell me. Why. Get rid of Coriko? Hm? Get rid of her?”

My voice was already full of tears.

“If you don’t like it, hurry and suck the blood. Absorb it. Don’t become a Creature….”
