Chapter 221 – Alice the Queen of Thorns 3 (2/2)

Reina opened her eyes wide as he restored Ophelia.

“Oh, how is that kind of magic possible…”

“For right now, cover your bodies.”

The two elves were naked.

As the girls blushed and covered themselves up with both hands, Woohyuk walked towards Alice.

“Fuck, you guys endure like cockroaches!”

She was still fighting with his party members.

However, with Woohyuk’s introduction, the stage gradually ended.

Chwa-Ahhhhhh!

Verserios breathed out black flames and tore Alice’s left wing.

Infuriated by this, Alice tried to counterattack, but Sieg and Bailey dug in from the side and restricted her movement.

Then,

Chwa-Ahhhhhh!

Brynhildr swung her Valkyrie spear and tore Alice’s right wing.

“Get away! I don’t want to die!”

As if she felt a sense of crisis, Alice desperately swung her sword.

At the same time, a crimson lightning strikes from the sky struck down again and again.

Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwang!

She tried to separate herself from her enemies with lightning magic.

However, Woohyuk absorbed the lightning magic with the Nocturne of the Crescent Moon.

“It’s over now, Alice.”

Woohyuk grabbed Alice’s neck with a cold voice.

He then proceeded to crush her neck with a grip strong enough to pulverize rock into dust.

Crack.

No matter if she was the Queen of Thorns, her vertebrae had been snapped, so she couldn’t move.

Alice sobbed as she collapsed lifelessly onto the floor,

Pu-Wook!

Verserios breathed black flames and pierced her heart.

“Keuk!”

Alice vomited black blood and soon stopped breathing.

Roan sighed as he saw the scene.

“Phew… finally, that prickly bitch is finally dead.”

“Remain vigilant. Don’t let your guard down.”

Woohyuk shook his head and pointed towards Alice’s fallen body.

Then, her hollow heart began to regenerate with red energy.

Startled, Maria asked Woohyuk while covering her mouth,

“She doesn’t die even if you pierce her heart… Then how do you kill her?”

“Well. I’ll have to figure something out.”

Alice couldn’t be as domineering again as before, as long as he stopped her from fully regenerating her body.

Woohyuk plunged Verserios into her heart and spoke,

“If possible, Alice will be sent to Aris to use as research material. It will be of great help in nurturing chimeras and undead in the future.”

“Uh… that’s gross. To experiment with living beings like that…” Helena said as she frowned and looked down at Alice’s lifeless body.

Brynhildr also complained,

“Wouldn’t it be better to burn such an uncomfortable being? We don’t know when or how she may resurrect again…”

“Huh? You guys aren’t talking about me, right? I just arrived. What a surprise,” Hong Yuri, who had just entered the entrance, said as she stared at the party members happily.

She had taken care of the Kazak so that the party could enter the palace.

Woohyuk shook his head on behalf of his party.

“Don’t worry. You haven’t gone this crazy yet, so we don’t have to do this to you now.”

“Humph…” Hong Yuri turned her head with a frown.

When the battle was settled, Woohyuk and his party had a conversation with Ophelia after releasing all the Elves in the palace.

“Thank you so much for saving me earlier, Rhine King. How can I ever repay this grace…”

“As I said earlier, I’ll be taking Reina and Allen. Of course, I’d like to maintain a friendly relationship with you and the Elven people in the future.”

“Huh?! Why are you taking me? Allen is human, so I can understand…” Reina screamed out in fright and took a few steps back.

However, Ophelia nodded as a sign of consent.

“It doesn’t matter. Since you favor this child, you shall have her. The same goes for Allen.”

“Oh-Ophelia…”

Reina couldn’t refute anymore and bowed her head.

Helena, who saw Reina’s defeated appearance, looked displeased.

“Reina seems to want to comfortably eat apples in the forest. Of course, she also eats lemon jelly well.”

“… Are you worried that your snacks will be taken, Helena?” Woohyuk asked as he looked at Helena with a dumbfounded expression.

Then Ophelia, who was listening to the conversation, burst into laughter.

“Oh… what the hell is Lemon Jelly? Are we fighting each other for that?”

“Have you never had one, Ophelia?”

“I have never given any thought about snacks in the first place, King of Rhine. For a long time, our Elves have lived on the things that grow in the forests and fields.”

Ophelia repeated what Reina had said long ago.

Woohyuk took out a container of lemon jelly from his pouch.

“Huh?! Didn’t you say you only had one container left?”

“If I said I had more then you wouldn’t stop asking me for them, Witch of Annihilation.”

Woohyuk pushed Helena out of the way and put a lemon jelly into Ophelia’s hand.

Ophelia thought about it for a while, went along with this comical farce, and put the lemon jelly in her mouth.

“…!”

“It tastes pretty good, no?”

“… I’ve lived so long without knowing that there was such food. As an Elf Queen, I feel such deep sorrow.”

Ophelia shed tears as if she was moved.

Reina turned scarlet red in embarrassment when she saw this and screamed out,

“Why, why are you crying, Ophelia…”

“You’ve been a good girl to endure through these difficult times, Reina. This world gave me all kinds of pain and sorrow, but it also brought joy, like this lemon jelly.”

Ophelia continued to concentrate on and praise the lemon jelly.

Reina, who had lost her words, turned her head towards Woohyuk.

“You needed to take responsibility. Ophelia has turned strange.”

“If it’s not enough, I’ll send a messenger and send you more later, Ophelia.”
