CH 89

This time, Lia launched a preemptive attack, scattering the red energy.

Kaneff quickly took a defensive stance

CLING CLING CLANG

The chains displayed a characteristic lifelike movement, blocking Lia’s successive attacks.

Countless chains attacked Lia from all sides.

Lia waved her hands to block the chain and slightly widened the distance.

But for a moment, Lia sprinted to the ground and tried to attack again.

The sound of the collision echoed endlessly in the meadow!

If the previous confrontation between Andras and Lia’s was a game of reading the opponent by adjusting the distance from the opponent.

Now, the battle continued without a break in the state of being as close to the opponent as much as possible.

The movement was fast enough to be difficult to follow with the eyes.

“That’s amazing. In particular, I didn’t expect Lia to push the boss to that extent…”

“Neither of them is giving their best. They are probably scaling each other’s power.”

“…Scaling?”

I looked fed up hearing Andras’ words.

If this is a scaling battle, then what the hell will be the full-fledged battle.

TTRING

Kaneff and Lia stopped the clash and stepped back for a moment.

As if to prove Andras’ words, the two looked as calm as if the crazy clash until now was a lie.

” Leader. You’re not going to take out your weapon until the end?”

Kaneff shrugged at Lia’s question.

Perhaps Lia didn’t like his reaction, Lia’s energy grew more and more violent.

“That’s how it comes out, right? Then I have no choice but to force you to take it out…”

There was an explosion of red energy around Lia’s body.

The horns on Lia’s head grew larger and larger, while her scary claws added sharpness.

Lia’s tail, which she used to be embarrassed about, also showed itself out of her skirt.

Watching from afar, I shivered at that moment.

It was because I found a familiar trace of energy from the red energy emitted by Lia.

‘This energy… I’ve felt it somewhere.’

‘Yerin’s Summon… Poison ants… Red chain!’

I found the cause of familiarity, but it became more complicated in my head.

‘Why do I feel that energy from Lia?’

‘Is the reason why she suddenly changed related to this energy?’

After grumbling alone for a while, I asked Andras, who seemed to know something.

“Andras, do you happen to know why Lia changed like that?”

“I don’t know everything about it either. I have only heard of fragments of events in the past.”

“What happened? What’s the strange energy that’s surrounding Lia’s body?”

“It’s… um….”

Andras hesitated to answer with a confused look.

When I didn’t back down easily, he opened his mouth with difficulty.

“Lia’s personal situation is intertwined, so I can’t say even if I want to say. I think it’s right for you to hear from her.”

“Is that so?”

“All I can tell you is, it’s just another side of her.”

“Another side…”

Unfortunately, I couldn’t hear the details.

As he said, I didn’t want to force myself to find out if it was a sensitive story related to personal circumstances.

But somehow, the ominous energy that swirled around her continued to disturb my heart.

Lia’s arms were covered with half red scales.

Both the horns and the tail turned larger than usual, and the vertically torn pupils gave off a vicious atmosphere.

“Creeeeeeeeeeeeee…”

A low-pitched cry of an animal resounded from Lia’s mouth.

Despite her change, Kaneff looked blankly at her without much change in expression.

The only thing that changed was, a blue energy began to flow out of Kaneff’s chains.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Lia rushed to Kaneff, leaving a longer, red afterimage.

It was a straightforward move, but Kaneff’s reaction seemed slow because it was so fast.

The blue colored chain followed Kaneff’s gesture to defend.

BAM BAM BAM

Unlike before, the chain could not completely stop Lia’s attack.

Kaneff fluttered weakly, exposing the gaps little by little.

Kaneff, who had only responded with chains so far, began to move in earnest.

Flap!

The blue chain wound around Kaneff’s both hands and arms like a metal gauntlet.

And Kaneff used it as a weapon to attack and defend.

A more intense red-and-blue clash began!

Now, the movement is so intense that it is hard to be seen with naked eyes.

All I could see was a hazy afterimage.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah”

The battle continued without a break, and a roar of explosives continued.

After a while, the blue energy began to overwhelm the red energy little by little.

Shortly afterwards, Lia bounced far away, allowing Kaneff to attack.

CLANG CLANG

Lia, who rolled on the ground, immediately got up and stared at Kaneff.

Unlike Lia, who was slightly out of breath, Kaneff was still calm.

“Well, it’s annoying!”

Creeesh

Lia’s straggling skirt and part of the top were torn off with her sharp hand.

Lia’s upper thighs got revealed.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

In an instant, ominous energy filled the surroundings, and for a moment, I got goosebumps all over my body.

Instinctively I noticed something was going wrong.

“Uaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

Lia’s usual calm smile was nowhere to be found.

“Papa…”

“….”

“Sister Lia… …is suffering,”

Speranza said in a tearful voice.

“Yes, I can feel it too…”

As Speranza said, Lia was clearly suffering.

I felt a signal as if Lia was asking for help within the ominous aura that covered the meadow.

And at that signal, my heart started beating like a drum.

Crack! Crack!

A bright red energy sparkled around Lia.

Kaneff looked very displeased when he saw it.

“Why don’t we stop now? You know what happens when you cross the line?”

“Hahahahahahahahahah! Look at you leader, acting like you are worried about me.”

Lia tried to attack first again this time, completely ignoring Kanef’s words.

The energy from the attack was so large that it cannot be compared with the previous attacks.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

A roar rang out.

At the same time, a shock wave spreads around the who place.

“ careful.”

“Papa”

“this.”

I hugged Speranza reflexively, and Andras used artifacts to deploy the shield.

Thanks to the shield, the area around the table was not swept away by shock waves.

-Boooooowo woooooooooooo!

-Booooooow woooooowooooo!

An anxious cry of Yakums was heard in the distance.

‘Why did this happen…’

The time we laughed and chatted together while eating delicious food until a while ago felt like a lie.

‘This isn’t what I wanted.’

I couldn’t see this fight anymore.

“Andras! we have to stop the fight!”

“ Sihyeon No! If you step in now, everyone will be in danger.”

“What do we do then? This is going to be a disaster!”

“We have no choice but to trust Mr. Kaneff.”

“…”

I looked at the place where the two were fighting fiercely.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

The devastating shock forced Kaneff to step back.

The situation where Lia was overwhelmed until a while ago was completely reversed.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Only the instinct to destroy the opponent remained in Lia.

Despite the incessant attacks, Kaneff remained calm.

The way he looked at her became colder.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

Blue chains radiated a brilliant light like stars in the night sky.

“Ugh…?!”

Lian instinctively felt something and stepped back for a moment.

But she couldn’t escape the blue chains that came her way.

Whoo!

CLING CLANG

Each chain resonated at the same time, and began to produce translucent, huge chains everywhere.

The chains simultaneously struck at Lia.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

Translucent chains burst in an instant with a powerful burst of energy from Lia.

The smashed chain returned to its original state for a while, but quickly turned back into a big chain and started pressing Lia.

Lia resisted desperately, but eventually failed to shake off the persistent chain attack.

CLING CLING

“Ugh!”

A chain fastened like a snake around Lia’s right ankle.

Starting with the right ankle, the legs and arms were also restrained by chains.

Kaneff waved his hand slightly and Lia was dragged in front of him completely bound.

“The joke is over. Don’t get in trouble for nothing, go away on your own.”

“Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

Even with Kaneff’s calm words, Lia only screamed and twisted her body.

With a slight frown on his brow, Kaneff once again waved slightly.

The translucent chain pressed hard against Lia and tightened her whole body.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

Lia’s fiery eyes calmed down a bit.

“Are you coming to your senses now?”

“Hahahahaha… as expected of the Black Hawk. I can’t believe I’m being overpowered in vain…”

“Don’t be noisy, don’t bother me, go back and return the usual Lia.”

“If I don’t want to go back…? Are you going to kill me, too? Like you killed my brother?”

Sorrow, resentment, and anger crept through the sarcastic questions.

Kaneff replied calmly, still with an expressionless face.

“Of course. If you cross the line, I’ll kill you any time. Even now”

“…….”

“I’ve done the ranking battle you wanted. Hurry up, last warning.”

Lia broke into a small laugh.

“Hahahah…Sorry to disappoint you leader… What should I do? I have no intention of going back.”

“I can’t help it, I have no choice but to use a rough method…”

Once again, the translucent chains tightened.

There was only one way – to faint with pain.

“Uggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

Lia spat out in terrible pain.

” Leader……..Until when can you hold back… do you think miraculously a Hero would appear and save us ?”

“………….”

“You know… You know, right? In the end, there is no one who can stop it… ”

“………….”

Kaneff gave no answer for the first time.

His eyes dimmed with emotion.

There was a sense of futility in it.

At that time, a voice was heard.

“Boss, what are you doing?”

I ran to Kaneff, shouting.

“ What are you doing? Are you going to kill Lia?”

“I told you to watch the fight from over there, why are you here?”

“What are you saying now? Do you expect me to stay still see this ?”

“Haaaaa….”

Kaneff sighed with a look of great annoyance.

“This is the only way to restore Lia to her original self.”

“Is the way, torture her like this? There must be another way.”

“What do you know…”

“I don’t think this is the right way, do you think it is?”

“….”

Our eyes were intertwined in the air.

After a tense snowball fight, Kaneff sighed again as if he had given up.

“Well, do as you please.”

“That’s easier than I thought?”

“That’s because you won’t give up at times like this! I’m tired of fighting with your stubbornness!”

‘Am I that stubborn….!!’

I scratched my head with an uncomfortable expression.

“So? What are you going to do?”

“I’d like to talk with her for a moment.”

“You have something in mind, don’t you?”

“Yes!”

I thought of something but I wasn’t sure of it.

Seeing Lia’s painful appearance, I felt like I had to do something instinctively.

“Go on, don’t take too much time.”

Kaneff stepped aside and opened the way.

After a small nod, I approached Lia held by chain.

There was a deep red energy around her.

It was strong enough to sting my skin.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“What the… was it you?”

Fortunately, she recognized me.

“If you don’t mind, can I call you Sis?”

“….what?”

“It’s confusing if I call you Lia. I thought I’d call you something else.”

“Hahahah, do you admit that I exist even after seeing this?”

“I don’t know what to say. No matter what you look like, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re a member of the farm family.”

To my serious answer, Sis looked at me blankly for a moment.

She burst into a small laugh.

It wasn’t a sneer, it was a real pure smile.

“Pfft! You’re a real softie. I never expected a guy like you would be under the leader…

“Well, what can I do with my natural personality, Sis?”

“Yes, my dimwit Brother! What are we going to do now?”

Sis asked me with an interesting look.

“Can’t you step back quietly?”

“I don’t want to go in smoothly, even if it’s my brother’s request. I’ve decided not to disappear like I’m being kicked out.”

“Hmm…”

“What are you going to do? Are you going to force me to faint like the leader?”

“I can’t do that. I don’t want such violence in my fun picnic.”

I got a little closer to her.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

I slowly reached out to Sis’ face.

SHUDDER

Sis shivered slightly as my hand approached.

Her wobbly eyes gleamed.

I waited silently, without forcing myself to move my hand.

I calmly looked at her eyes and waited for the vigilance against me to disappear.

Sis’ eyes closed softly.

When the silent permission was given, I moved my hand again.

My hand touched her soft cheek.

I felt a strange feeling with the warmth of my palm.

And after a while,
