Chapter 41 (2/2)

The hails hit the floor and broke it into pieces, and ments of stones mixed with debris hirled up

The broken stone pieces and ain and was suspended in the Time Delay barrier

Thethe battlefield

The concentration of h to completely obscure our field of vision

And yet, there was no figure of Palug

“……She disappeared? Where did that o?”

“It seeht and heat, so maybe

so o”

“No way Although it’s a lower tier spell, this is the guy who can erase the spell cards on which a cooling spell was placed without even touching them, you know?”

“But, in the barrier where the time is delayed, she shouldn’t be able to escape……Klaus-sama!?”

The body of Klaus, as focused on watching our surroundings, suddenly lurched forward

At the same time, the barrier of Ti the Protective Circle were destroyed at once

I rushed over to him in a panic

He didn’t seem to have any trauma

“Kuh……I see, if it’s the speed of light……”

Following Klaus’ line of sight, I also turned around

A flash of red light crossed my field of vision

Palug who ently

『Correct It is so tiring that I didn’t want to use it if possible

Although I aht

Fro pebbles were the sa

Well, if you completely stopped the time, I supposed they would harm me』

Strength faded from Klaus’ body

I couldn’t support him with my power, and Klaus fell on his knees

“damn it……, if there were no mental interference, I would still……”

“Klaus-sama!!”

Even though he hiuste’s

Klaus who had lost his Protective Circle was exposed directly to strong mental interference

Large drops of sere for on his forehead

While a large a scraped away, it seeic Resist he barely endured it

『Oh ive in to my prince, will feel relieved, you know?』

“Who……will be doing what you want……! I will not lose……I have decided to become Erica’s shi+eld!”

Even though he was riddled ounds and was about to faint, Klaus tried to protect me

Justhis consciousness was already a miracle, so as he able to do his best?

Palug was overlooking Klaus with a smile

I felt that the shoulder of Auguste treht

“……What, you……are you the same as me?”

Unexpectedly Klaus looked away fro and looked around

He was talking towards someone who couldn’t be seen in the empty sky

“Eei, whoever you are, it’s fine……, if you can manipulate my body, do it……”

“Klaus-sama, what—!?”

“It’s fine even if I becoirl without fail……”

『Oh my, you can’t do that』

Palug punched Klaus’ jaith lightly

Klaus couldn’t even raise his voice and his consciousness was robbed

There was some pulse

It seemed that he only fainted

『I’uste to be burdened with such work

But, that was very passionate and lovely

passionate and lovely I have changed my opinion about that boy

—That’s why I will spare him

Please be grateful It’s great to be alive……right? 』

Palug sently at the fallen Klaus

The divine beast which had been living as the Hero’s attendant, perhaps had seen a gliuste but also in Klaus

『Now then, Erica Aurelia

You are different I will not let you go』

The golden lion called me and stared

I took a deep breath and raised my eyes

In just aiested

That sirl who stamped on insects innocently

『My life can no longer be kept as long as it is

Yes……unless I eat your blood, and your soul

There is no other alternative

I have to fulfil uste at all cost』

Step by step, Palug slowly came closer

I retreated several steps back

My instinct raised the danger alarm to the limit

Palug probably could burn us easily if she came at us seriously, now I knehy she didn’t

It was to get an intact sacrifice

Yes, the dedicated offering for God had to be such a thing

(Noooooo!! Notowardeaten alive!!)

What should I do?

What should I do to escape from this crisis?

Auguste didn’t wake up

Tirnanog was hibernating, there was no sign ofyet

Klaus had been knocked down

Both Otou-sa in their roles and didn’t even know about this place

nobody could help me anymore

In the first place, in the face of the overwhel, my warfare was lost

I didn’t give up on my survival, but I couldn’t even find a small chance to win

Against such unreasonable beast, humans just couldn’t win

(—if there is nothing like that, people cannot overcome such beast)

Suddenly, I recalled uste in my mind

Inside hts that were dyed in deep black with despair, there was a shi+ny light of hope

(—this beast was cursed by God, and it seems that it had no choice but to accept it if a riddle match was set up)

No way

There was no doubt, if the fragments of the folklore were all true

Finally found a small hope, I decided to take a risk

“Palug-san! Please listen!”

『Ufufufufu, are you pleading for your life? It’s regretful, but the situation where we could talk with each other has long passed』

Forcibly turning the gear inside my brain that did not turn due to fear and confusion, I recalled one question that was suitable for Palug

“It, it walks on four legs in the , what is it!?”
