Chapter 176 - Phoenix's Daughter (3)

[We are getting closerI' a little bit]

“Hoo-ooh”

“As expected, she's still alive”

As they got closer to Glacia, the words spoke by the party her than the tiuys getting nervous at the thought of fighting the for's forces?You don't have to worry too much about theis directly involved in thisIf he is personally here, there's no way Etna would be able to run away like she is doing right now”

“Ooh oohThe thought of that wo our party makes me very nervous······!”

“Is that really the probleuys are worried about!?”

Maetel's words sounded like a joke, but at the same time, it didn't sound like a jokeAt her words, everyone just nodded their headsIt seeht at allArtpe wondered if there had been a flaw in their training programHe seriously mulled over that question, but of course, there was no answer forthco

“As expected, I should have killed her as soon as I met her”

“You should consider yourself fortunate that she didn't kill you, you dork”

He wondered what Etna was thinking right now as she resided in Glacia?Artpe thought about itDid the loyalty she had towards the current De's offer?He didn't think that was the caseShe probably didn't want to fight, so she was on the run Still, it wasn't entirely positive news for Artpe

'She doesn't want to fight for the Deht on the side of humanity?That is an entirely different question'

She didn't like a fight where blood was shedDespite knowing this about her, could he really ask her to fight the Demon race?She was born into the Deht sound worse to herWhat if she becoht?What if she joined the previous De so idiotic happened…

“There is no way she would have ill feelings towards Artpe, so you are being worried for nothing”

“The probability of that wo the Deuys knohat I'lanced at Petra, as still looking into his ArtifactArtpe had no idea what Petra was feeling, but he continued to h all of this

“That is my party's opinion”

[Etna is a Deation]

“Then why is she on the run?If she wants to full her duty and obligation to theDe's faction”

[That······ It is because she is loyal to the current Deinal bullshi+t Artpe had heard up until now It seeHe pivoted to another argument

[We'll find out once we ask for her opinionThat is the reason why I made a contract with you]

“The answer is already available to you”

Artpe had no idea what Petra expected from Etna, but in the end, Petra will never have what he desiredArtpe let out a bitter laughterPetra snorted

Soon, the Steel horse containing the party arrived at the ice continent of GlaciaIt still looked like an endless snow-cover field, but when Artpe looked at it through his Read All Creation ability, he realized Glacia wasn't the sa to the ice continent, so he mumbled to himself

“It's ruined”

“Is that wo”

Regina spoke instead of Artpe

“The north is nor the Winter Queen slept in the northHer presence made the north colder”

“However, she handed her Record over to you”

“The continent is reverting to its original stateThis ht be the reason why Etna remains alive”

If the coldness from the Winter Queen had beenwithin GlaciaHowever, the Winter Queen's Record was given to ReginaFortunately, Etna was able to hold out thanks to the loss of the Winter Queen's presence

Everything would turn out fine unless the entire continent melted away

Artpe nodded his head as he activated his Read All Creation ability to its fullest extentIt wasn't just about Etna's locationThe force of the previous De the the with Silpennon?”

“Yes, I'm about done with that”

“I don't like it”

Maetel always see in her heart towards SilpennonArtpe stared at her as he suddenly asked her a question

“Do you have so you want to ask me?”

“You said you will tell htI'll wait for that time”

“Is that so?”

“Yes”

'In truth, aren't you like Silpennon?Do you already know about everything?'

He wanted to throw those questions towards her, but he didn't have the courage to follow throughIther endless kindness

“What about me, Artpe-nim?”

“This doesn't involve you”

“You are too much!?”

In his past life, Artpe had no history with VadinetThis hy he felt untroubled when he looked at herThis was the same reason why he felt comfortable around SiennaIt was also why he soht have a vague idea he was doing this

[We don't have the ti to reactto hop around in placeArtpe had been soothing her when Petra clicked his tongueHe spoke towards ArtpeAs a response, Artpe increased the speed of the Steel Horse, and he replied towards Petra

“Didn't we already anticipate y, and we are all roupOf course, the other side will detect us”

[That is e should hurry upAt the very least, we have to hear her answer before she dies]

“······hBy observing his actions, he wondered if Petra was acting this way based solely on a sense of responsibility towards the Demon raceOr was it comradeshi+p?Was it based on his love towards Etna?Maybe, it was an insight he discerned long tio

However, Petra's face re froh to get an answer from herWe have to save her”

[Her life force is so faintShe is as weak as she could beShe is a Demon, so I wonder whatit]

Petra mocked ArtpeIt sounded as if Petra wanted Etna to dieThat was the vibe he was giving offIt seemed all Demons were psychopathsArtpe had been one of those Dehts

The Artifact was gradually reacting more fiercelyIt was as Petra had saidEtna wasn't in her nor to move, and it was clear that she was alive
