However, it was clear that she was definitely not amused based on her eyes.
“— everyone is like that.”
She mumbled with a slightly hoarse voice.
Seeing her took away our breath, and her voice was strangely loud and clear.
“Everyone wants to get in my way. Even though I’m a Saintess. Even though I am the only Saintess.”
She sauntered towards us while muttering those words.
Her slow walk made it look as if her feet were bound by the shadow underneath her.
Her feet looked heavy as she lifted them, and the shadow also clung heavily to her.
“Hyprocrite Amalda, fake Saintess Lidianne, shameless hussy Eleanor trying to seduce Lufure-sama. Despicable saintesses trying to defy me, the only true Saintess here. All of you, all of you —”
Her narrowed eyes were narrowed further as she whispered as if she was singing.
All of you — that’s what she said, but she was only staring at me.
She trained her eyes on me , and she headed towards me unwaveringly.
The shadow deepened in color the nearer she approached.
The surrounding air quivered, and I could keenly feel on my skin how her mana swirled around her.
‘T-this gal is absolutely dangerous!’
I totally understood why her lackey said that ‘nothing will get through her’.
It would be impossible to talk some sense into her. It might even provoke and agitate her more, and that would be scary.
‘I-in this case…!’
There was only one option left for us.
Her eyes were strange, and she wouldn’t listen.
The best way to deal with a person who could shoot off magic and behaving strangely was —
‘Run away!!’
I clenched my fists, but Rozalie stayed the same.
“All of you are traitors. — All”
She’s still mumbling endlessly.
It seemed that she was still in the middle of speaking, but I wasn’t foolish enough, nor did I have any obligation to listen to the end.
Rather than that, this situation was just like that , wasn’t it.
If you listen till the end, the moment she stopped, she would release her wrath and at the same time attack.
Her mana was also steadily accumulating, so the only thing we could do in this scenario was to hurry and evacuate.
‘Okay!’
I prepared myself, then turned to look at Lidianne.
Based on Rozalie’s words, she was probably targeting Lidianne, too, so let’s run away~ — was what I tried to convey while staring at Lidianne. Well, she was probably the foolishly naive type who would listen till the end of the story, because she just looked quizzically back at me.
At any rate, she was probably thinking something like ‘is it okay to leave Rozalie just like this?’
Indeed, her situation was a bit worrisome, but —
‘I don’t care! Own safety first!’
I didn’t even know how to calm Rozalie.
Right now, the right course of action would be to leave this place, grab some priests and report the situation to them.
I took a step with these thoughts, when —
“— Rozalie! So you were here!!”
It was the other lackey.
When I reflexively turned around, I saw the other cronie beside me shouting ‘Sofie!’ in panic.
So that girl’s name was Sofie, huh — as if, .I don’t care about this new fact.
The problem was she appeared behind Rozalie, so she didn’t see her current state, and the lackey hurriedly rushed towards her.
“I was looking for you! Even if I stop you, you still go somewhere else!….. Hey, let’s go back. Even if it’s about Lufure-sama, you’re still acting too recklessly!”
Sofie didn’t notice the mana wrapping Rozalie, nor did she notice the shadow underneath her, it seemed.
She was gasping for breath as she grabbed Rozalie’s arm.
“The Saintess of the incompetent god was probably just following Lufure-sama and pestering him! Right! That’s why it’s already fine, isn’t it? Let’s just pull her feet, or else splash some water or throw some trash on her, okay? Isn’t enough already!!!”
Sofie desperately pleaded, and Rozalie replied in a low voice.
The penetrating coldness of her voice stopped me in my tracks, just when I was about to ran away.
“So, even you, huh.”
“Eh…?”
Sofie whispered in confusion, apparently oblivious to Rozalie’s expression.
The maelstrom of mana increased, and the shadow underneath her feet spread — and she opened her narrowed eyes widely.
“I —”
The change in the atmosphere’s tension made me unwittingly yell and it pushed me to move my feet — towards the opposite direction of where I was supposed to run to.
I stretched my hand towards Sofie, who stood dumbfounded.
"
"
Lidianne also rushed towards her in a fluster, but — I was faster and closer, distance-wise.
“ — IDIOT!!!! LOOK OUT!!!”
I grabbed Sofie’s arm and forcefully dragged her away.
I managed to separate her from Rozalie, but my strength wasn’t enough to catch her.
Under the weight of us two, I lost my balance, and both of us fell on the spot with a bang.
Right after that —
Countless magical spells burst forth around Rozalie.
