“What are you talking about?” Although Byeok had been talking to herself, so one?” A wo a simple navy blue dress with her hair neatly combed back quietly approached her and sat down

A cup was offered to her, and Byeok accepted it with a smile “Why are you awake at such a late hour?” She lifted the hot stea cup

“Just,” Eshnunna wrapped her hands around the cup and said, “I finished , but couldn’t fall asleep”

“H pretty hard lately” Byeok lifted the teacup to her lanced sideways as if she suddenly reht after training?”

“Ms Byeok, I don’t”

“What do youall the way in my room”

“…” Eshnunna closed her mouth, and Byeok chuckled like a jokester

“I’ the future ice witch up at night?”

“Isn’t it probably the sa about at this dawn, Ms Byeok?”

Byeok sh she didn’t confirm or deny Eshnunna’s assumption, her silence was already an answer

“I’m used to it now It’s not the first time I couldn’t sleep because I orried,” Eshnunna said calmly, “From the very first time I met him in the forest, it’s always been like that Whenever so serious happens, he always steps forward, and there were ti and cahtly dazed as she caressed the teacup “I wonder why it’s like that Most heroes don’t act like him Why does he always…”

Byeok was about to say so, but closed her ulped down her words with the tea After a short silence, she said with a subtle scent of tea lingering in her mouth, “Don’t worry too much He’s at least not dead”

“Would he co’ and ‘cos Byeok became silent at Eshnunna’s question

“…I don’t know,” Byeok answered after a short silence “Whether he’ll cohtly frowned at her strange response According to her words, Byeok wasto co to live Why did she think this?

“I would be lying if I said I wasn’t worried I’m the one who tied up his powers after all” Byeok let out the breath she had been holding and shrugged

Eshnunna doubted her ears Chi-Woo’s poere restricted? She asked, “Why? Why did you do that?”

“Because I had to”

Eshnunna was quick-witted and clever After hearing Byeok’s suddenly firht on that Byeok had no intention to explain in detail At the sauess what Byeok meant by ‘only one’ earlier on “If he lifts one seal, would he be able to release the things binding hiave her an iht be able to freely use an arh Eshnunna knew she should not ask further, she couldn’t help herself

“…” Byeok didn’t say anything, but sihtly cooled down teacup and stared at the endless night sky

“Then would he be able to take off all his restraints and use his body freely?” When Eshnunna asked onea reply, Eshnunna was taken aback by Byeok’s following actions

Byeok widened her eyes, and her expression changed into one of shock “Uh… Why…” She gaped with a treht sky—or to beto es

The center of the Hala Forest becah it was crazy to dismiss a battle with their lives on the line as simply a disturbance from the expedition member’s perspective, it really was no ht have been a fierce battle for the expedition members, but it was just a noisy commotion that needed to quiet down in the queen’s perspective As proof, the queen hadn’t le step since the battle started

“Are you going to do more?” she looked around and asked

None of the expedition ood condition Most had one knee on the ground or were sprawled on the ground One of theht in a tree branch It was the sa into the depth of his power, he was extreic and heavy While lying down and groaning, he clenched his teeth

Chi-Woo kneould be difficult to fight another king candidate given his experience facing the Sun King Thus, he lifted the first stage of the ban on his abilities, and inal power came back to his returned with his Core of Balance as the center An enory that he couldn’t feel before flowed through his body He had thought this ined that she would be this strong

Of course, he had thought it wouldn’t be easy since she’d absorbed the king candidate who earned Ismile’s information, but he couldn’t even touch the tip of her toe Their opponent went easy on theth, and she was basically playing around It was an overwhel defeat

There was only one way left He still had his last resort, but Chi-Woo hesitated Since they were about to face death, he needed to utilize all possible methods, but hesitation and doubt messed up his decision because…

“It’s not over yet…” At that ht” Although his face was haggard, he didn’t lose the sharpness in his eyes Eot up while stus were no different from Chi-Woo’s; it was especially so for Ru Amuh Ru Amuh had always followed Chi-Woo, but it was the first time he had felt so useless He personally experienced how Ru Hianathe Narsha Hara situation, the fight wasn’t over yet Ru Aht to keep his pro to walk by Chi-Woo’s side He had really not wasted a single day, and it was now time to show the results of his hard effort Ru Aently He stayed unood while

The queen tilted her head at an indescribably strange feeling “Huh?” She slowly looked around and blinked quickly “…Wind?”

Flutter The wind shook the leaves If she wasn’tall towards one place Winds from all directions swirled around Ru A inside While this process endlessly continued, the queen’s eyes were filled with deep curiosity because at some point, she felt Ru Amuh’s body become one with the wind She wasn’t ! Startled, the queen turned around and inadvertently raised her hand to swipe her neck She found her hands stained with fluid She also felt a thin line at the tip of her finger When she looked back, she couldn’t see Ru Aain, and part of the laurel crown on her head was cut off As she looked around in a hurry, surprise filled her face for the first ti around her and turning into a gale The biting wind ca she needed to pay attention to

Crack! A sudden sound of thunder and a flash of light with countless sparks shot towards her Even in the ed to deflect all the attacks Then the lightning rod that was being bent like a whip multiplied into then Emmanuel stretched out his arm as hard as he could

“Ah?”

The two rods turned into four, then eight, then 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and htly shook as she saw streaks of lightning continuously double and shoot towards her By that tirown into a storm, and the Hala Forest ept by the fierce storhting rods shot towards her in a spectacular sight Then a windstorm attacked her like a fierce tidal wave, and the queen hurriedly spread her wings of branches to protect herself
