Chapter 193: Singularity (1/2)

Waking in front of her, the man who could still be considered her master spoke in a soft tone, something that completely contradicts the amount of aura he was currently emitting which was, by all means, way scarier than when he had once lost his cool because of a troll.

Arriving before her, his calm voice echoed in the lab as he spoke to her in a gentle tone. ”I see... They've truly put you through a lot, haven't they? Still, you were able to keep her safe till the very end, even when there was no longer any chance of winning. Your resolve has truly surprised me. So please rest now, you no longer have to worry anymore, I'll take care of everything.”

Although his aura contradicted his current demeanor, for some reason Snow could feel the sincerity in his words as he stared gently at her with a faint smile on his face that didn't seem forced. He seemed he was actually pleased with her. This was something no one else had ever done since she came into existence as one would tend to only look at her with fear, hate, disgust, and apprehension.

Even Rain would only show her an expression of worry as her existence could also be considered dangerous for Liz if she were to ever stay too long.

She could also tell that the raging aura he emitted was not aimed at her but was actively restricting the other two in the room with her.

Was he truly angry on her behalf? She wouldn't know as it was hard for her to understand such things. Her only job up till now was to protect Liz and that was all. She didn't interact with anyone at all and thus, could not understand the emotion she felt right now or why her hatred and anger had been suddenly alleviated just by the words he spoke.

With that, a strange sense of relief washed over her from the depths of her soul, she could no longer hold on to the tight grip she had on her consciousness as her vision slowly became hazy and she passed out on the spot. Her body wobbled slightly as she fell gently into Tyler's arm while her hair slowly changed colors from white to blonde.

Her closed eyes then gently opened as the voice of Liz softly reverberated in his ears in an extremely weak tone.

”Lord Ty... You... you came... for me... is Rain okay.”

”She'll be fine don't worry about it and just get some rest.”

”Is that... so... I'm glad... You know... I didn't want you... to have to go... through... all this... trouble for my sake... but... I was secretly... hoping... you would still... come... I really... I'm a selfish... person... ain't I?.”

”Don't be silly. Why have an ego if one can't be selfish at times like this? You just relax. I'll end this quickly and we'll be on our way.”

With only a faint smile on her face as she lacked the energy to even keep her eyes open for a second longer. She had gently fallen unconscious and Tyler immediately tried his best to heal her. He didn't want any such instance where she would die before he was done here and desperately tried to stabilize her condition.

However, there was only so much he could do as he had no choice but to stop and just hope her will alone was enough to keep her alive. He then gently laid her on the floor as the ice that encased the room was rapidly melting but the ones that had frozen bodies in them had not.

Placing her body gently on the ground, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant as he stood up. His eyes were no longer as gentle as it once was as he stared coldly at the demon hiding in the corner, completely disregarding the specialized Mech golem that had defeated Snow.

”Hey you, pig! You will tell me who were the ones responsible for all this without a shred of a lie. I don't have the patience for torture so I'll just make sure you know the meaning of the word despair in the shortest time possible. Try not to die too quickly.”

Leriol on the other hand was completely dumbfounded. He was sure he had sent more than enough Mech golems after this man. Yet here he was standing in front of them in the same state he had exited the teleportation room with. That in itself was impossible, even for someone like Lady Izabel and Lady Citrus.

They may be able to defeat over 250 Mech Golems by themselves but it was impossible for them to do it in so little time and without taking any damage especially since the Mech golems had high elemental Magic resistance and high processing power with a large amount of power from the Magic crystals.

Those factors alone made them very deadly for most and thus, to be able to face 250 of such opponents and come out unscathed was ludicrous. And yet, someone had appeared before him that could do just that.

'Was this the reason why those two left in a hurry?'

Thinking about that, he instinctively denied his thoughts as there was no way that would be the case. He didn't know how this man had made it this far into the fortress alone but it didn't matter. He would just have to kill him with the aid of Vizer.

Just as he was about to order his execution, a demonic aura the likes of which he had never felt before suddenly gusted out of his body and dominated the entire room as it forced even Vizer to hesitate. A pressure that could even force an artificial life form to pause, Leriol's brain could not compute what the fuck this was.

He didn't have any skills like Magic sense or even offensive skills and spells, thus, he was unable to comprehend the gravity of the situation he was currently in right now as he desperately tried to resist this pressure that had slammed his head on the ground.
