While I was in thought, the perpetrators didn’t let up on their attacks.
But to me, these attacks were nothing.
All of their attacks were repelled by my defensive magic. Realizing that they were getting nowhere, the man said with an irritated tone:
“You won’t be able to take it easy for long.”
“You’re saying that when you can’t even put a scratch on me? It’s only a matter of time before you bastards get caught.”
“Is that so? Then—how about this?”
To my shock, the man laughed loudly and swung his sword at his own companion.
The other man was completely unable to avoid the sudden attack, and his arm flew through the air.
Fresh blood spurted out from the cut limb.
I was speechless at this impossible scene, and stood there against the man’s piercing scream.
“…..Stop…”
“Haa? What?”
“….Stop! Stop it!”
I didn’t care about the man. It was them that I was upset for.

“The info was right, huh? If you don’t want me to chop up these ghastly lot, why don’t you take down your protective spell?”
“—You!”
“Now, now, it’s better if you don’t pull any moves, you know? Next time…. I think I’ll take their leg. How does that sound?”
At the man’s demands, my heart was shaken.
The moment I broke the defensive spell, I would definitely be killed.
However, if we continued like this, these innocent men would be like puppets on a string, their lives played with at will. That—especially that—was something I absolutely could not allow.
They, who had suffered so much. I couldn’t do that to them, I couldn’t abandon them even more—
It was then.
“—This, is why you are weak.”
“You……”
“No matter what happens, I will survive. In this aspect, your will is too weak.”
—Like a streak of wind cutting through the air.
A black bandage fluttered, heralding the sudden appearance of the shadow. Then, he pulled out the sword at his waist and charged towards the men.
“Who are you?!”
“I? You will die anyway, so it’s quite pointless to ask.”
The shadow’s laugh echoed like bells. His attacks, as fluid as fish swimming in water, were silent.
Weapon in hand, the men fought back, but the shadow was not only quicker, but also far outstripped them.
The blood-drinking sword gleamed with a dim light, and just as it was aimed at a man’s neck while he was overwhelmed, I blew the man away.
Prey snatched from right under his claws, the shadow flashed back to my side in an instant, releasing a terrifying killing intent.
Then, he demanded an explanation with an icy tone.
“What are you trying to do?”
“I’m sorry…..But please, stop attacking!”
“Then, you choose to die?”
“No, I’ll figure out a way.”
“Under these circumstances? I’ve taken a look at them, and their brainwashing seems to be very deep. Even when their arm was cut, they didn’t give a single reaction. If you release them against the will of the spellcaster, it would only cause their minds to collapse and they will be crippled.”
“I don’t need you to tell me, I already know that.”
“I see. In that case, what do you plan to do? Make them into dolls with dead hearts, or give their lives an honorable death? These are your two choices.”
Choosing between the options forced onto me was impossible.
Either way, they would die. I couldn’t help them.
I knew how it would end, yet I couldn’t make the choice.
My heart beat along brokenly, shaken by the looming moment of decision.
As I fell silent, the shadow gave up on me and turned around, about to move.
At that moment, the man took a small bottle from his pocket and threw it to the floor, smashing it.
“Hmm, they are a stubborn bunch, aren’t they? Poison like this—”
“No!”
That was not a poisonous potion.
I realized what the liquid in the vial was and quickly covered the shadow’s mouth.
But it was too late.
From the moment it touched the air, the light blue potion dissolved. And those who inhaled the infused air, had their magic sealed.
“Shadow, consider your magic no longer available.”
“…… I see. Is it a magic sealant?”
“Yes.”
The guy used the same potion that I had just made not long ago. And if he knew exactly what it was for, then he must have taken the antidote as well.
It really was them.
With this, it was clear that my birth family was deeply involved in this incident.
That shadow was useful for once, instead of just preaching. And we know for sure now that Lilius’s birth family is involved… can I cout on a showdown with that witch of a sister? Will Lilius be able to help those guys?Thank you for the chapter!!!💖💖💖
I believe he will…? Like, as part of the spirits thingy plot? And the witch… either Lilius kill her or Jill will
CONFIRMED!!!! IT’S DA BICH!!!
