As soon as a dark red sphere falls on the city, Marina stares at it dazed.
It was because I couldnāt even fathom what was going on.
Of course, I could see that something big had happened.
I heard screams coming from everywhere.
āEveryone into the basement! Repeat, everyone to the underground shelter! This is real. This is real, not training. Enter the nearest protected enchanted building. Repeat, enter underground shelters or designated buildings with open protection magic to stand by! ā
āGaaaahhhh!ā Tr a n sla ted by jp m tl .c o ļ½
āGod. God. ā
āWhat are you doing, Marina? Canāt you hear me telling you to stay away? Hurry now.ā
Immediately, I heard the sound coming from my side and came to my mind.
Just now, I started to feel dizzy, realizing that the surrounding landscape that had felt like a dream was still there.
āLeah.ā
My daughter.
Tr a n s l a te d by Jpļ½tl.c o m It reminded me of a daughter who would be left home alone.
āPlease⦠God. Please.ā
I hear a voice calling out to me from behind, but I canāt stop.
I started jumping.
I feel like Iām barely halfway to the end of my chin.
Thanks to the runners to the other side, the agent moves on.
They must all be heading to the shelter or where the protection magic is still being maintained.
āI shouldnāt have left you alone⦠I shouldnāt have left you alone! ā
āMarina!ā
āLet go! Let go! Let go of me!ā
āLetās head to the shelter for now. Leah wouldāve dodged a bullet already. Quicklyā¦ā
āI told you to let go of this. Please, let me go. Please⦠I have to check. We have to make sure itās safe! ā
āDamn itā¦. Wait here. ā
āJames?ā
āIāll be back as soon as I can. Wait here. No, wait in a safe place. ā
āAhā¦. ā Tr ans l a t e d b y ļ½pļ½t l.c o ļ½
You see James rushing to the other side.
Of course, I thought we should move together, but the problem is that the legs donāt move.
The leg that was released, no matter how much I pushed because of the fear, didnāt think to move.
All we can do is pray.
āPlease be safe⦠My dearest Leah and James, please be safe⦠Please, please, please. ā
The waiting time was not that long, but it seemed like it had waited several hours.
Tears poured out of my anxiety, and my jaw and legs trembled.
The sphere that slowly began to reach the city is being sucked into the ground as if it were swallowing everything up.
As hope fades, James embraces Leah from afar.
It was about time I tried to hit him with a big voice.
Kuaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
A dark red sphere collided with the clock tower with an enormous sound.
I feel my ears hurt because of the loud sound.
āItās dangerous! James! Danger!ā
T r a ns l ated by ļ½pm t l .ļ½om No wonder I looked up at the sky for a moment.
As the fragments of the giant tower fall, James falls facedown tightly into Leahās arms.
I canāt even imagine two people walking around in a pile of rubble.
But it was also a scene that was actually happening in front of my eyes after a while.
The scream I tried to scream wonāt come out of my throat.
Itās frozen.
Time seems to have stopped.
āOh, no! ā
I couldnāt look at it with my own eyes.
As I closed my eyes tightly and burst into tears, I started hearing her voice strangely and faintly.
āMom⦠Mom⦠ā
āWell⦠hey. ā
Circumstances you canāt understand no matter what you think.
As you slowly open your eyes, you can see the city is surrounded by a swarm of light.
Fragments falling from the tower were also being pushed further and further out, surrounded by a swarm of light.
Shining light. Tr an sla t e d b y ļ¼Ŗp ļ½ t l .co m
It is a glorious light that cannot be expressed by anything.
Leah carefully tugs at the collar, and James looks up at whatās going on.
āYou helped me. ā
I reached my prayer.
I reached the prayer I gave to God.
āA miracle. A miracle. Thank you, God. Thank you so much, Leah. Leah!ā
āNo. Itās not a miracle, Marina. ā
āYes?ā
āItās not a miracle⦠This isnāt some kind of⦠miracle. ā
Hugging Leah tightly and following Jamesā gaze without me even knowing it.
The only thing I could tell from my eyes was that it was horrible.
ā Sir! Hang in there. Hang in there! Just hold on a little longer!
ā Aaaahhh!!
ā You filthy bastards! Damn it. Damn it! Brother! We have to stay on course for more support! You know you canāt die from overexertion, right? Donāt overdo it. I warned you.If you fall too hard, I wonāt forgive you. I wonāt forgive you!
The scene in front of me was hard to understand.
I couldnāt speak well of the horror.
āJames⦠is that⦠ā
āI donāt know whatās going on, Marina. But⦠I think the people from the Church are fighting the Devil. I think they built a swarm of light around the city. A goddess mirror⦠Iāve heard of it, but I never thought Iād actually see it. ā
āIt looks dangerousā¦. ā
It was the same word.
It seemed like a close call to everyone.
A big man wielding a shield and a sword, surrounded by many demons.
He does his best to protect those behind him, rather than take his comfort.
A long time ago, the enormous number that filled the surrounding area had already become full of blood, even though the monsters of the big and small versions rushed from all sides were slashed with shields or cut with swords.
I donāt understand how to move in that state, so I donāt need another expression.
As the monsters that are closing in on the perimeter grow so much that they canāt help it, they stop the attack with their bodies.
He chews at his arm and leans down on his leg, without worrying about his inner self, and shows no mercy for his desperate companions.
ā Hang in there. Just a little bit. This time⦠this time, be sure. This time, I will take you unharmed. Nothing like that will ever happen!
ā Aaaaahhhh!!
ā Iām not gonna let you finish like last time. I wonāt be so helpless! Iām not gonna stand there staring at you like that! You filthy bastards! I canāt lay a finger on my brother. Bastards⦠Bastards! This way. This way!
We donāt know whatās going on.
However, you may also know that tears filled with the eyes of a big young man are not caused by pain.
I thought that was anxiety.
Visit lightnovelreader[.]com for extra chapters.
I feel anxious that I might lose someone precious to him.
Andā¦
Anxiety for those who are in more pain than themselves.
Literally.
The visible wound looked like there were many large young men with shields, but the black-haired woman next to him also did not look normal.
I donāt know why, but Iām limping one leg and sending magic towards the approaching people with twisted hands.
It looks dangerous from the looks of it.
I donāt think I can even walk properly.
My whole body feels like itās been eaten by a demon.
Even when the skin is torn apart, it seems as if the air bubbles are bursting.
ā Huff, huff. Hah⦠Letās hold on a little longer. Almost there. Almost there. Hang in there a little longer. Donāt fall down yet. Conch, you can do this. Donāt fall down. Donāt fall down. We can still do a little more.
Of course, we donāt know what kind of power they use.
But it would be strange not to know that the woman who speaks to herself is already at her limit.
You can see it from the outside.
As if she was going to collapse right away, she was doing everything she could to protect the people inside.
ā Sir, sir!
ā Everythingās fine.
I can also see those who are desperately surrounded by them in order to keep them in check.
A man and a woman.
The two held hands tightly together and reached for the sky.
Anyone would know.
Anyone would notice the fact that they are blocking the black sphere that is falling into this city.
The two of them were shining all over the city, just like the glowing lights that surrounded the city.
ā Aaaah!!
A woman who keeps the shield of light in her mouth and nose, vomiting blood.
ā Aaaahhh!!
Likewise, the man who holds the breasts and shoots the light together.
A leg that looks fine on the outside, but trembles after it.
And a big man with a shield told me how serious their situation is.
If you die like this, I will never forgive you! If the two of you go first⦠Hiic⦠I will never forgive you! Iām going to die with you!
ā Aaaaahhhh!!
ā If itās hard, you can give up⦠Nobodyās with you⦠Ugh. I wonāt blame you. No oneās going to blame you. Iāve already done enough. Ugh⦠Iāve done enough already.
A woman who continues to vomit blood but does her best to keep the magic alive can also be seen.
ā Donāt die⦠Please, please⦠Please⦠God, God. God, Buddha. Goddess Benigore, please. Help me and my sister. Please⦠If you donāt mind, ugh⦠Please donāt take my good brother and sister with you. Please⦠People who have lived like this all their lives. Please donāt take her for this! It would be unfair for you to die like this. I feel so unfair!!
ā Aaaaahhhh!!
ā Iād rather die instead. Take me instead. Iād rather⦠take me if youāre going to take me. Ughā¦
ā Aaaaahhhh!!
The light does not fade.
Although the big boy says itās okay to give up now, the light that fills the city does not think it will go away.
'stomach, is it dangerous? James, are they dangerous? ā
āYou could die. ā
āYes?ā
āNo⦠Itās been a long time since I crossed the line. They must be pulling all the magic out of their bodies and using it. Iām a lesser mercenary whoās never caught a Goblin before⦠but I know that much. Itās not the kind of magic that humans can express. Maybe⦠even protect this city. Those two who conjured this magic⦠will die. ā
āTh-thatās why⦠ā
āI donāt know. People like me donāt understand people like that for the rest of their lives. ā
I donāt know the situation, but for some reason, tears burst out.
It was because I could understand the heart of the big man who was shouting constantly.
āPleaseā¦. ā
As I looked at her, I began to see her holding hands.
You tug at the collar and look up to join yourself.
Itās like weāre praying.
It was natural for him to shut his eyes and put his hands together, quietly facing the sky.
āI hope you are safeā¦ā Please donāt let those noble people lose their lives unfairly⦠ā
