Does your foot get chopped by the ax you trusted in? (7) â unedited
âYou said it was okay to give up the authority of the saint, and tried to be that guyâs companion. Even though he killed your brother, you embraced him. Even though he doesnât even pay attention to you because he was wrapped up in some strange girl, Bella, Kayle is everything in your head until the end. Why am I not there!â
Oh, things are getting a little weird. The heavenly deityâs anger seemed to increase as if a heavy weight had been attached to it after healing the saintâs word.
The air has changed. It became difficult to breathe as if it was full of carbon dioxide, and a terrible murderous energy shook my spine without hesitation.
Merson takes me in his arms and strokes my back. I had to hold on to his clothes and make a constant effort to breathe.
âStop. Erina is having a hard time.â
Despite what Merson said, the heavenly deity still refuses to reap these nasty things emanating from him. Iâm sure itâs difficult not only for me, but for the saint as well.
âEl, noâŠâŠ.â
âBella, Iâm sorry. Hold on a little bit. And close your eyes.â
âKyaaak!â
My head rose at the sound of screams above my head. The saint was trapped inside a pale blue sphere with her eyes covered by a cloud of white light.
And at that moment, my body was pushed and rolled on the floor. I wasnât hurt, but in a daze I shook my head and looked for Merson.
âMerson!â
Judging from the glowing silver arrow held in Mersonâs hand, Merson must have prevented it from flying at me.
From where it came out, the heavenly deity drew a string with a strange bow made of light and smoke. The arrow shot out at a speed that my eye couldnât even notice, and it was easily caught in Mersonâs hand.
âAs expected, itâs no use.â
âYou know you canât win by any means, right?â
âYes, I know very well. Because itâs always been like that. But, today will be a little different.â
The bow is drawn. towards me
Like in the movies, I reflexively raised both hands slowly. Iâm unarmed, you cowardly bastard!
âIt was an interesting sight. A woman that Kayle canât help but love. There is no attractive corner anywhere.â
âIf you touch her, I will destroy you.â
âDo you think I would be afraid?â
As soon as he finished speaking, I heard the sound of a string snapping. I closed my eyes tightly in preparation for the pain that was about to come, but so far it has not come. I slowly lifted my eyelids.
âItâs a hit.â
Merson was sitting with his back in front of me. I crawled to my knees and hurriedly looked at Merson.
An arrow pierced his thigh, emitting black light. As Merson holds it in one hand and pulls it out roughly, his blood spurts out.
âMerson, are you okay?!â
âHeâs not okay. If he was a normal demon, he would die instantly, but if it was Kayle, two days would be enough to regenerate. These arrows are different from normal weapons. These arrows can only be made if five high-ranking heavenly deities pour in their holy power for three days and nights. Only five are given out in a hundred years, but I just did three shots, so Iâm going to use the other two right here.â
âWhy are you doing this to Merson?!â
âMerson? Youâre calling him names that arenât even funny. Could it be a nickname?â
âDonât mind us. let us go.â
Merson reached out and stopped me. Then, he stretched out his bloody legs and stood upright in front of the heavenly god.
âNo matter how strong you are, itâs difficult to fight like that. Iâm going to shoot both of my other shots at that girl, and itâs going to be Kayle who gets hit each time.â
âShoot it.â
âMerson, no!â
âStupid bastard.â
The heavenly deity drew his bow without hesitation and the arrow flew towards me. And the arrowhead passed through Mersonâs hand and was narrowly approaching my forehead.
Merson again stood undisturbed with the arrow stuck in his hand.
On the contrary, it is the heavenly deity who faltered. Now that there was only one arrow left, he was nervous.
âShoot it.â
âShut up!â
The bow was pulled But this time the direction was different. Even though he knew that the arrow would be easily caught, he flew it straight at Merson.
And with a very neat motion, Merson caught it. I donât know why he did it, but the important thing is that Merson wasnât hurt.
âWhat a relief.â
âYouâre talking nonsense.â
The relief was short. The surface of the cold blade against my neck felt so vivid.
After turning Mersonâs attention to the arrow, the heavenly deity used that short time to target me. He thrusted a dagger under my chin.
âYouâre a nuisance. Arenât you, woman?â
As Merson tried to move, the heavenly deity grabbed my hair and flung it back, holding the dagger close to my exposed neck.
âI canât believe I shot all five arrows of a heavenly deity just to get rid of one human like this. This is a huge loss.â
âI would have told you. If you touch her, I will destroy you.â
âRight. As of now, with three wings, I will be completely destroyed. I would do anything to sell my life.â
The heavenly deity let go of my head, which he had been gripping so painfully, and now grabs my hand and lifts it up. Then, after forcing me to grip the blunt dagger that had just been touching my neck, he covered it with his hand to prevent me from pulling it out.
âWhat, what are you doing?â
The heavenly deity looked me straight in the eyes and muttered something incomprehensible. At the same time, the dagger held in my hand heated up in an instant, as if it had gone in and out of a furnace. I struggled as if my palms would melt away from the high temperature I felt, but the heavenly god wouldnât let me go.
âLet go! Let me go!â
As I cried out in pain, the heavenly deity that was holding my hand finally let go. And as if it had never happened, the dagger was back to its original, ordinary metal attachment, and even though my palms were tingling and I was about to drop the dagger, I still had it in my hand.
