192 It’s Not My Fault The Shot Went Awry (2/2)

”She is still alive…”

What an amazing tenacity.

Epsilon understood the true meaning of master's words ”… my shot went awry.” For master who was beyond perfection, he did miss the target so that Emilia was alive.

Master gathered blue-purple magic in his hand and walked to Emilia.

Master must want to give her the last shot.

Master must have known everything. He knew how Emilia grew up under inhuman experiments, and the deep hatred in her heart…

So master, having the same thought as Epsilon, was going to break the cycle of hatred here.

”Please, wait!”

Epsilon rushed to the front of master.

”By any chance, please give Milia to me! We can cure her!”

Epsilon's voice was shaking. She didn't want to make master unhappy, which the most horrible thing in this world for her.

However, this was the last chance to cure Emilia, just like how master treated Epsilon.

”I understand your feelings, Shadow-sama. However… she is just a victim.”

Epsilon didn't dare to look at master's face, lowering her head in fear.

”Sure.”

Master's voice was unexpectedly gentle.

Then the purple-blue magic was injected into Milia's body and healed her.

”I will leave her in your care.”

”O, okay!”

Master gently touched Epsilon's head, which was so warm that she would never forget the feeling of master's palm for the rest of her life.

Shadow disappeared into the darkness.

”Amazing…”

”Master's magic is formidable…”

Kai and Omega's gaze followed Shadow with their  mouth opened.

”Hurry, take her back to Alexandria!!”

Master helped to cure Emilia, but Epsilon was still worried about the residual effects of the experiment. It would take certain time for Milia to fully recover.

Kai and Omega lifted Emilia, while Epsilon opened a way for them. Finally they disappeared deep into the forest.

After a while, words came from the empty forest.

”It's not my fault the shot went awry.”

Petin.

”Ouch.”

Then the forest fell into silence again.
