LIGHTNOVELSTORY chapter 143
143 – Finish – 1
Hiding Cordelia behind his back, he desperately squeezed her head that was not working well. I don’t know why she came all the way here again, but since she’s already gone, there’s no point in thinking about it.
Perhaps he noticed that the current situation was unexpected, John burst into a frenzy.
“Ha ha ha ha! I don’t know what the hell is going on, but I’m so grateful that you’re back on your feet.”
I didn’t hesitate to reply, but straightened the sword, which kept slipping from its torn grip. Cordelia’s hand holding her behind my back was shaking. If you were going to be so scared, why the hell did you come back, really. More than anything else, her safety continued to be a concern.
John’s fist flew into my face again. I would have avoided it if it was like the original, but… , Because he had something to protect behind his back, his options were completely blocked. I clenched my teeth and raised my sword. Posture for defense. Originally, it was a bad idea to honestly defend against an opponent’s attack that was superior to one’s strength, but now the situation is the situation.
-Boom!
His fist collided with my sword, and a deafening sound erupted from him. The fact that the option to spill or avoid an attack had disappeared came as a greater burden than I thought. Anyway, it means that I have to take all the attacks with my own body.
Even though I was fully prepared for the shock, blood leaked out from between my tightly pressed lips. Profanity came out inside. Damn it, there are all these crazy drugs. If you eat a lot, it’s a fraud to become stronger as you eat a lot. Huddler barely straightened his knees.
I heard Cordelia’s terrified voice from behind. Her hands tightened a little as she pulled on my clothes.
“Mikhail….”
“If you’re going to be so scared, why the hell did you come here? Don’t worry, just stick to my back. Because I’m still fine.”
Even at a time like this, it seems that a creature called a man can’t help it. The first thing that comes to mind is that you can’t pretend to be weak in front of a woman. I pretended to be as nonchalant as possible, and chose her words to reassure her.
You have to roll your head. It seems that the timing for the effect to wear off is approaching… , Isn’t it possible to bet everything on the passive method of waiting for it to happen?
The victory conditions are much more lenient for us. It was true whether Cordelia was present or not, but the most important thing was the mindset. There is one more reason why I can never lose, so I must be determined.
I tapped my cheek with my left hand. And at that moment, consciousness was blown away.
-f*ck!!!!
“Mikhail!”
“Cool, poetry… foot.”
In the very next moment, fortunately, the sword was still in my hand. Cordelia behind her is also safe. Even though her mind was blown away by her shock, her body seems to have kept its place. She came to her senses right away, but the fact that she lost her consciousness once again came more than expected. Because of her terrible pain, she cursed herself.
Of course, I didn’t lose consciousness because I slapped myself on the cheek. It was because of John’s sudden attack. John burst into admiration at the sight of me coming back to my senses. Of course, rather than being really surprised, it was more of a sarcastic feeling.
“I think I passed out for a moment… , Even in the midst of that, the lady in the back is guarding it. That’s great. I know you have a separate fiancée. Anything between the two of you?”
“Noisy. I don’t know people like you, but there are people who risk their lives just for a friend.”
Of course, I didn’t expect that to be me. All my life, I thought I was extremely realistic and a normal person, but I guess that wasn’t necessarily the case. That’s also true, for realistic and ordinary people, their lives are the most important. Like John smirking badly over there. It won’t be common to risk your life for others like this.
Well, I said this, but to be honest, you can call it a real limit now. I don’t know if I can withstand the next attack. But it’s not a question of whether you can or can’t. It’s a matter of do or don’t. If I don’t do it here, Cordelia will be left alone. Even though he came at the timing like a ghost and disturbed me, but if I don’t take care of it, who will take care of it?
John snorted at my words and pressed his fists together to make a crunching sound. Really, every action until the very end is a friend like a third-rate knave. He shouted.
“You lived only with your mouth until the end. Get lost!”
I shut my mouth and prepared for the shock once more. Give strength to the lower body….
“Huh, what the f*ck.”
I think I’ve been f*cked. It wasn’t even thought through, it was just a conclusion that came out right away. Legs come loose in this situation. Even if I thought about it, I did abuse my body a little, no, I did a lot, but why is it now? The fist flew slowly towards me. As if I wanted to imprint that image on my retinas forever, his fists were so sluggish. The hairs and wrinkles on his knuckles were clearly visible.
People say they can see the life they’ve lived before they die, but since I don’t remember anything, I wonder if I’m showing them something like this. It’s not that I’m resigned. I am afraid of dying, and I am worried about the people who will be left behind. But, what can I do here now? There is no strength in the legs anymore. Would I be able to live by rolling on the floor unsightly? No, it will probably be worse. It is a specification to be stepped on by that giant.
It’s a short moment that could be called an instant, but it felt like an eternity to me. As I was thinking about all sorts of things, a familiar red head came into my eyes. It’s a beautiful, vivid red color that looks like it’s on fire. It’s Cordelia. She would block me.
Cordelia turned her head towards me, her eyes tightly closed. Squeezing out all her tears and mucus. A shrill scream leaked from her mouth. If you’re going to be scared like that, why the hell are you doing that in front of me? No, before that, why the hell did I come here again? I knew why. She, too, is a human like me. She might risk her life for her friends.
A scream came out of her mouth as well. No, rather than screaming, I wonder if it is closer to screaming.
“Hee, hee hee!”
“Cordeliaaa!”
After the screaming stopped and even that small reverberation was completely buried in the stillness, nothing happened. If I had to choose what happened, it would be a miracle. John’s fists stopped, and he clicked his tongue in disapproval of the unexpected situation. Cordelia slumped into her seat, as if her legs were undone.
I hurried over to her. Fortunately, my leg was able to move normally as if it had recovered to some extent.
“Are you okay?!”
“Uh, uh….”
She nodded her head, dazed, with her dazed expression on her face. I wanted to check her condition a little more, but the situation wasn’t very good right now. She hid her behind her cage and confronted John again. He was making a strange expression. I don’t know why he didn’t attack Cordelia, but it’s natural for him to make use of this opportunity. I opened my mouth slowly.
“Has there been any change of heart?”
Maybe because she bit Ha Doi hard, a sweet smell came out of her mouth. John opened those little eyes even smaller without saying anything at my question. Let’s think. Why the hell did he stop punching? Is there any reason why he shouldn’t have killed Cordelia?
At that moment, a flash of light passed through my head. Maybe that bastard is still thinking about the situation after the medicinal effects are all over? If you think about it that way, you can roughly understand why he didn’t attack Cordelia.
She must be thinking that if she kills me and subdues Cordelia and gives it to Wilhelm, then she will be able to maintain her current position even after she becomes a complete wreck. I think there was a saying that it was okay for me to dispose of it as I wanted, but it would be burdensome to dispose of Cordelia as I wish. I don’t think I’d be that stupid….
“You can’t believe it, are you still thinking of living after seeing your body?”
“Has anyone taken several of these pills at once before me?”
“Yeah, I guess not.”
“Then we don’t know yet.”
“Crazy man. People die with just one hole in their heart. There is no need to experiment, wondering if there will be something different if you make several holes.”
I laughed. He is a really great human being with only one obsession with life. That’s why you’ve come all the way to that spot. Unfortunately, that life may only have a few minutes left.
John kept his mouth shut, but instead raised his fist.
“Stop!”
“This little b*tch!”
Then I stood up and stopped her fists in front of Cordelia, who stood in my way again.
As soon as she became convinced that John couldn’t really attack her, Cordelia began to use herself as a shield more aggressively.
And how good it would have been if it had stopped there. Cordelia, who soon became more energetic, pushed her body toward him and fired her wild provocation.
“Try it! Hit it!”
“Profit, you crazy b*tch!”
From the beginning, it was a tightrope walk. If she falls, there is no next, and the line she stands in is thin. But, if you make a fuss like that… , Of course, the line was cut in an instant.
John let out several excited animal-like breaths before bursting into laughter.
“hahahaha!”
“What, what! Why are you laughing!”
“I changed my mind. There was no word telling you to bring me alive anyway, and His Highness probably didn’t like you very much either.”
His fist cut through the air, and this time he didn’t stop.
