126.

‘Did that bastard Caspian really know?’

Lillian inwardly mocked the one who had sent her to this place.

You wanted me to resent and hate the Villain.

‘Not knowing that he’s deceiving you. So I’ll show you.’

This man who didn’t even know he was hurting with words, and her former powerless self.

‘Maybe it would have been like that.’

To hate the Villain even when returning to the original timeline.

But as long as Lillian came with her memories and abilities intact…!

‘This bastard’s plan is a failure!’

And the moment Caspian tried to reach out to Lillian.

“You should look this way.”

“…!”

White snow swirled from behind Caspian’s back.

The Villain wielded his ability without making a sound.

Caspian also drew his sword and gritted his teeth.

“Ha. Damn petty thief…!”

“Why? Taking this woman away?”

The Villain sneered as if he really was a villain.

Though he hid Lillian behind his back, Lillian felt like she could see his entire expression.

“Whose priestess is Lillian supposed to be?”

The sword imbued with the power of annihilation clashed with Caspian’s sword.

Each time the blades collided, there was an explosive sound so loud it was hard to believe it came from metal.

He was deflecting while nullifying the annihilation ability.

‘That damn persistent bastard!’

Brainwashing and such abilities too.

Having received all those blessings yet acting like this, he was annoying in a different way from Kail.

The Shadows who had been hiding and watching the situation grabbed Lillian.

“We’ll escort you outside. Hold on tight!”

Lillian’s heart sank.

This was the first time seeing Sir Jeanne from this timeline up close.

It wasn’t just Sir Jeanne.

“Sir, the escape route is this way!”

Marguerite also existed in this world.

All the people she had deliberately avoided finding for fear of growing attached were still here.

From outside came the thunderous sound of the Shadows confronting the heretics who were trying to attack from the rear.

And also that spine-chilling sound that all ability users hated.

Screeeech…!

Giant spider monsters were swarming in.

Even Lillian, who had faced monsters at Silverin Temple, got goosebumps.

‘I already hate things with many legs as it is.’

Lillian quickly looked around to see how the others were doing.

Just then, Sir Elias was about to give orders.

“Everyone prepare your positions! All personnel engage the monsters-!”

“No! Sir, please wait a moment!”

“…!”

“Everyone don’t let your guard down!”

Everyone hesitated at Lillian’s shout.

Lillian was shouting while being carried on Jeanne’s back.

“The source where the monsters are coming from! We need to find that!”

Just cutting them down one by one and using abilities would only drain their stamina!

They still had to face Kail and Iris, so she couldn’t let their strength be wasted carelessly.

‘The heretics have the ability to summon monsters.’

Summoning them from too far away would be inefficient.

‘Then somewhere right around here…!’

Lillian looked around urgently and asked.

“Everyone! Are there any low hills around here?”

“…!”

“Somewhere out of your sight-.”

Elias’s suspicious expression gradually changed.

‘He understands right away without me saying more!’

Things she had learned long ago when she alone took charge of organizing Ramio’s Knight Order journals came to mind.

Weapons that can annihilate enemies aren’t just swords and abilities.

Hiding behind hills and releasing small beasts that spread plague is also an ancient strategy…

Still, she worried about what to do if they didn’t believe her.

Here, Lillian was a burden, an existence abandoned even by the hostile Tillard Family.

Even if she seemed to be on good terms with the Crown Prince recently.

What was lost by being hostile to the Tillard Family wouldn’t come back.

But still…

“…Divide into groups and depart! The search location is the Western Hills!”

Lillian pressed her forehead against Sir Jeanne’s back and thought.

Perhaps. She…

Would have ended up with these people no matter what kind of life she lived.

* * *

The search team went to block where the monsters were coming from.

While the Villain held back Caspian.

Lillian was taking refuge in the nearby forest with Marguerite, with Jeanne’s help.

Even if they tried to use Caspian to return to the original timeline, it was impossible while he was rampaging.

“Our Highness is-.”

“Our Highness will be fine. Apply the medicine first.”

After receiving ointment from Jeanne and applying it, Lillian also turned to Marguerite.

“Marguerite, you apply this too.”

“…? Did you know my name?”

“Of course.”

Even though it looks like this, my face was your welfare.

Marguerite coughed primly.

“I, I see. Since you’re the Tillard young lady, I naturally thought you wouldn’t know.”

“I’ve never not known even once.”

“Is… is that so?”

“Yeah. Will you take the ointment first?”

“Ahem! No, I’m fine…”

“Marguerite-?”

Marguerite collapsed without even finishing her words.

She had been attacked from behind.

Lillian half-rose from where she was sitting.

The escorts who had followed were gradually falling down.

“Marguerite-. Ah!”

In the blink of an eye, Lillian was caught in mid-air. She struggled, but her right leg hung heavily.

A pitch-black spider monster began choking Lillian’s neck with one leg.

“Urgh!”

Lillian reflexively struggled.

In the process, the sharp needle on the demon beast’s front paw pierced Lillian’s forearm.

‘…! My control power won’t come out?’

Is it because of this spider demon beast’s poison?

“It would have been wiser to just kill you when you were young.”

“Ugh….”

“I guess showing mercy causes this kind of trouble, Priestess.”

“…!”

The situation was already suffocating, but his appearance before her eyes made it even harder to breathe.

Caspian was also on the handsome side, but the body parts touched by ‘annihilation’ were….

‘Did he barely escape from the Villain?’

This Caspian harbored only more blatant malice.

“He’ll arrive soon, right? Die at that moment, Priestess. Right before Tarandia’s eyes.”

“…Heh.”

But Lillian laughed.

Caspian made a bewildered expression at Lillian’s mockery.

“What a funny coward.”

“…You don’t seem to know what situation this is?”

“What don’t I know, what could I not know.”

It’s true.

Lillian had figured this bastard out now.

“Because directly killing a ‘Controller’ causes trouble…! Using others’ hands makes you a coward.”

His face became increasingly distorted with cruelty.

This side must also have had their nerves sharpened considerably due to the long war.

‘He’s become impatient thinking it’s the final moment.’

And the more impatient he becomes, the better provocations work.

So come closer.

“There’s a reason the Revenants were cast out. Even the Creator God must have thought making these things was a waste of time!”

“Priestess, I see you’re speaking recklessly just because you have a mouth-.”

Yes, this far!

The moment he couldn’t contain his anger and reached his hand toward Lillian’s face.

“…!”

Caspian’s face twisted with shock and belated realization.

‘You remembered too, didn’t you?’

The first law the Creator God established for Controllers.

What happens when an Ability User makes ‘contact’ against a Controller’s will!

And at that moment.

Lightning truly struck from a clear sky.

…Perniers, this terrifying Empire.
