Sling.
Antiope’s solo, held high.
The tip of the sharp blade sparkled in the moonlight, shining dazzlingly.
“In the name of Jupiter, you are summarily judged as criminals caught in the act of sin.”
Swish.
The tip of the spear that had been raised high was finally pointed at my head.
Detailed explanation too.
I can’t even read their facial expressions.
Perhaps because of the coldness of her shining blade, I could clearly tell that she was hostile to me.
Because humans are more sensitive to those who want to harm them than you can imagine.
“… .”
Of course, I couldn’t say anything.
Gulp.
The sensation of thick, cold sweat running down my back was vivid. This woman was Hippolyte’s younger sister.
It is certain that he is a warrior as strong as Hippolyta.
A combat weapon that can kill people by firing bullets like a bullet simply by flicking a rock with a finger.
That woman is breathing life into me, intent on killing me.
I didn’t know what would happen if I moved even a single muscle on my own. So I froze in that position with my legs spread and my arms crossed, facing the dead.
Did you say that there are animals that, when they encounter predators, their whole body becomes rigid and they can’t run away? I think it was sheep that did that.
I thought those sheep were idiots, but I was a sheep.
I am a fool.
“Hey, you didn’t move even after listening to me? I guess things are things after all.”
At that moment, Antiope lifted the spear pointed at me back onto her shoulder. The killing intent that had been emitting like a stab just now felt like it had loosened.
“But since you are my sister’s acquaintance, I will give you a choice. Surrender quietly and I will spare you from execution. You can either rot away in the prison city for the rest of your life, or become a knight of Jupiter and devote your life to the holy war. What do you think?”
Are you showing mercy?
“Ha, Hassan-nim-. The Knights of the Temple have really appeared. They are bad, bad guys…!”
Paranoy hid behind me, tensely pulling at my collar. This guy had a hard time seeing the Knights of the Temple in the first place, as if he was going to start a fight.
When Paranoy and I were curled up in a ball, unable to do anything, Luna, who had been lying on the floor, got up from her seat, perhaps catching her breath.
“Did you say Antiope? You’re mistaken. We are not cultists!”
“Luna Noxdotti. Judging from the name Noxdotti, you must be from Ideope. People from Ideope are always a threat. The voodoo you use is actually similar to the witchcraft of the cult.”
“It has nothing to do with being a cultist. It is my job as a witch doctor to properly guide these suffering souls.”
“Yes, that’s why I’m calling you people of interest. You all have the same cult-like ideas.”
“What do you mean by socially oriented thinking?”
“They’re dead, they’re ghosts. They’re just monsters. They’re unpleasant guys that you can’t even talk to. Do you think these horrible-looking guys aren’t monsters?”
Antiope bowed her head as if looking down at the dead man lying beneath her feet.
The dead man who was being stepped on by the guy had been muttering, “I, I’m being stepped on!” all along. It was as if Antiope couldn’t hear him.
Does wearing a mask make a difference in perceiving the appearance and presence of the dead?
“Tch-,” said Antiope, clicking her tongue.
“I hate these kinds of social festivals to begin with. In the name of the Great Emperor Byukryuk, the protector of the kingdom and the earthly representative of Jupiter, these kinds of festivals must end this year.”
The war of nerves between Luna and Antiope was tense, with neither side giving an inch. Perhaps because they felt that the conversation was not working, Luna raised her silence totem high.
“This guy, he must be Hippolyte’s younger brother. Do you know how your sister lost to me?”
He showed off his temper like a person who was very angry, not yielding to Antiope’s majesty, and it seemed that he was very angry at being treated like a cultist.
Luna was proud of being from the Ideopa Islands and having studied voodoo, so it was understandable that she would be angry at being accused of being tied to the evil of necromancy.
“I am Luna, daughter of the great night and superstition! I cannot tolerate any insult to our ideope and voodoo!”
“Then the negotiations are broken off. I am Antiope, the daughter of the warrior god Mars. Since you mentioned my father’s name, I will never spare you.”
Pabat.
In an instant, Antiope, who had been stepping on the backs of the dead, disappeared from sight. Moving faster than the speed of the body’s vision. Sval, I was surprised.
“Kueeek!”
Soon Luna’s screams were loud in the yard.
Slap.
Luna falls to the floor as if she has lost all strength from her body.
Behind Luna’s back, Antiope spoke as if it was nothing, her hand sharp.
“Amazonian-style hand strike-.”
“Ugh, my body, my body has no strength….”
“You haven’t lost your mind, have you? You’re stronger than I thought? I didn’t want to use ink, though.”
Swish.
Antiope turned Luna over so that she could see her belly, which was lying on the floor. Then she raised her index finger and began drawing something on her belly.
Then, black drawings began to appear on Luna’s white, soft belly.
The picture of the arms and stomach connected together looks like a rope or chain binding the body.
“What, what! My body won’t move!”
Luna struggled like a shrimp dragged out of the land, wondering what effect that had. But the only thing that could be heard from Luna’s body was the clanking of chains.
“I feel really tied up!”
“That picture will be a prison that you can never erase for the rest of your life. Those of you from Ideophe, there are many variables, so it is a textbook example to suppress them at the beginning.”
“I, I have a tattoo on my body! Oh my god, it’s horrible! I, I need to get this off!”
“You can’t erase it. You have to live like that for the rest of your life! Just like the sins of being a cult member engraved in your soul can never be erased.”
“Nooooooo!”
Luna’s body was tattooed with a horrible chain drawn on her soft, white stomach.
I too was angry at the attitude of branding me a criminal.
“Oh, you’re so vicious. You want to fight me, Samaritan? If you can’t even use your Aura, I’ve already seen you in the open space!”
Antiope, holding the spear out, quickly accelerated towards me.
Pavavabat.
The leap was made by lying face down on the ground, almost like a shadow crawling on the ground.
It seemed as if it had been momentarily obscured from view because his posture had been lowered so much. In any case, it was clear that there was no time to be amazed.
The spearhead, raised from below in a low posture, rushed towards my chin. I tensed up all the muscles in my body and barely managed to dodge it backwards.
Wheeeeeeeek-!
The tip of the spear just swept across the bridge of my nose and blew my bangs away.
If I had been hit in the chin by something like that, I would have definitely been pierced through the top of my head and would have been skewered. Fortunately, I barely avoided it, but this was clearly an attack intended to kill me.
“Did you avoid it? I tried to send you away without any pain.”
“Oh, shit!”
Now that it’s come to this, there’s no use making excuses or explaining anything. The only thing that remains is a fight to the death. I clenched my teeth and kicked my legs up with all my might.
I was trying to kick the woman who was crouching down in front of me. But just before my foot touched her, she elegantly dodged backwards, showing off her flexibility.
Pavabak!
Because of this, a small puddle was created in the yard.
“Your eyes have gotten better! Are you really trying to beat me!?”
Antiope took up her spear in reverse and crouched low.
Didn’t that tattooed girl say her specialty was throwing spears? If a spear were to be fired like that, I don’t know if I could stop it or not.
It’s dangerous to keep your distance.
Instinctively, I thought of that and rushed towards Antiope with all my might. Then, I grabbed the club I had drawn with both hands and swung it with a strong full swing from right to left.
Kagak-!
It immediately clashed with Antiope’s spear. The spear bent with a loud crack, and Antiope cried out in shock.
“What kind of ignorant power is this! Huh, this is fun!”
“Nuuuuck!”
I screamed and swung my sword at the guy’s spear with all my might. The spear in his hand eventually spun around and landed on the floor with a thud.
“Ugh, my hands are tingling!”
Antiope leapt back, gained some distance, and then slapped her palm. It was a good opportunity for me to knock the weapon out of the guy’s hand.
But in the next scene, I couldn’t help but be very surprised.
“Come.”
Antiope spread her palm in the air. At that moment, she was tense about what the guy was going to do, but the spear that had been stuck in the ground flew into her palm as if it was being retrieved.
“This window is a pretty good epic-level relic in its own right.”
Subal, it seems that the equipment you are equipped with as an elite is also top-notch. It’s a total foul to have a spear that comes back from anywhere.
How can I beat that woman?
I thought of all sorts of ways to take down Antiope, but all of them resulted in me dying with my heart pierced by the tip of his spear.
Otherwise, only the image of me being dragged to the prison city with Luna would be vividly replayed. Luna being dragged to prison. That was something I absolutely could not accept.
But I don’t think I can beat this woman with normal methods. I need to surpass myself.
“Paranoy! Bring me the jar from the first floor! It’s my right arm, so I can do that much!”
“That, that’s what you’re talking about! I understand…!”
So I said to Paranoy, who was just shivering behind me. Paranoy seemed to understand and ran into the cabin.
“What are you trying to do-?”
But Antiope was not one to just sit back and watch.
“Nymph cult. They’ll make good material. It’s not a crime to kill cult nymphs and use them as material!”
Even Antiope aimed the tip of her spear at Paranoi’s back as if she was aiming at him. If this continued, Paranoi would die.
So I ran towards Antiope to rescue Paranoia and complete my plan.
He swings his club in big swings from left to right and right to left, trying to keep the guy from throwing his spear.
“Oh, it really is annoying!”
Then, Antiope, as if she had given up on targeting Paranoi, began thrusting her spears at me here and there.
Swish, swish!
The sharp tip of his spear passed between my hair and my side with just a hair’s breadth of difference, and it really sent a chill down my spine.
I almost fell for the sub.
Is it true that being repeatedly punched by Hippolyte is having an effect? I’m honestly surprised that I’m dodging attacks while looking at the tip of that spear.
Or maybe it was my extreme concentration in a crisis situation that caused me to display such superhuman behavior.
“… How dare you?”
However, Antiope growled in anger as her attacks continued to miss.
The tip of her spear accelerates at an incredible speed, eventually grazing my side and leaving a sharp wound.
Push, slap!
My left side stung and I felt like my vision was going black. It was just a slight brush, but why was my body losing strength? Did I hit a vital spot that I didn’t know about?
For a moment, that thought occurred to me, but perhaps because I had suffered a serious injury, my head turned red, and the voices of Luna and Paranoy chattering away gradually faded away and I could no longer hear them.
“Hatsan-!”
“Dirty Temple Knights-! T, are you putting this down-”
Woohoo.
In an instant, the world tilted.
The ground comes closer and touches my face.
I thought so, but it turned out that my body had collapsed. I didn’t even realize that I had fallen to the floor.
I thought it was just a passing graze on my skin, but it seems to be more fatal than I thought.
But strangely enough, I didn’t feel any pain at all.
However, I feel like my body is completely weak, as if the threads in my body have been cut off, and my body feels like a large prison that confines my soul.
In this dire situation, I have no choice but to lie down like this. The only things that move are my lips and tongue.
“Straight up, straight up. Get up, get up… . Get up… .”
So I said it as if I was casting a spell on myself. My legs felt weak, and I could feel the blood draining from my body, draining all the vitality from my body.
I couldn’t stop pushing myself.
Swish.
Just then, I felt my body lift into the air. It wasn’t because I had exerted any strength to get up, but because Antiope had grabbed me by the collar and lifted me up.
Hold on.
Her short skirt touches my left side.
“If you stab me like this, my heart will be pierced and I will die. I will ask you one last time. You can either go to the prison city or become a knight of Jupiter. What do you want?”
“… Get up… Get up and fight…!”
“It’s no use praying to yourself like that. My spear is the spear of exhaustion, Ganrunga. Anyone who gets stabbed by it once will lose all their strength. In particular, those who are heavily influenced by Pluto’s magic won’t be able to keep their momentum.”
Ugh.
The stinging sensation of the tip of the spear piercing my side was vivid.
“How about it? Do you want this to become your karma and be engraved on my lower abdomen? I’ll give you 10 seconds. If you don’t answer in 10 seconds, this spear will eventually pierce your heart.”
“Fuck you…!”
“Ugh, being proud. Well, okay. Bye. Goodbye. It was nice meeting you. I’m really sorry it turned out this way, Samaritan. We could have been good friends.”
Hold on.
She then flexed her arm as if she was going to thrust her spear into my heart, but fortunately the tip of her spear did not dig any further into my side.
“W, what is this…!?”
The reason was that a large number of dead people were attached to her body, holding onto her arms and legs.
Antiope seemed not to notice them approaching her silently behind her.
“Hey, these undead bastards! When did they become like this-!”
They numbered in the dozens and dozens, and they grabbed Antiope’s body and pulled her away from mine.
“Ugh-.”
“Ahhh.”
The sight of so many dead people tangled up here and there, screaming, was so horrifying to me, like a trap, a snare, or a colony.
If you look at it broadly, it looks like a black ball.
“Come with us-.”
“The warmth of the living-.”
Suddenly. Suddenly.
Dozens of palms extend from the black sphere and grab Antiope’s head and arms, dragging her into their crowd.
“What, what kind of power is this-! Huh, huhhh! Huh, huhhh! Huh, let go of this! Let go of thishhhhh-!”
Antiope fell to the ground, crushed by their weight. The guy held on to his spear, driving it into the ground as if trying to resist being dragged.
“Damn it!! You’re calling on this many dead people!? This is ridiculous, ridiculous! I’ve never seen a cult like this!”
“Of course, I’m not a social person.”
“Ugh, ugh, this damn, this damn restraint. If I just activate the tattoo on my back, I can get out without any, any problem-!!!!”
Even though she was strong, she couldn’t resist the hands of the dead who grew from a dozen to several dozen.
Eventually, Antiope misses her spear and is dragged into their midst.
“Why, why doesn’t Grace work…!! Nonsense, nonsense-.”
She seemed about to shout something loudly, but a palm shot out from somewhere and broke her mask, covering her mouth and eyes.
“Euuuuu-!”
Eventually, Antiope was trapped in what could be called a giant ball or rock created by the dead. She seemed to be screaming something inside.
“Ugh, save me-, Jupy-, Mar-, Unnie, Unnie… .”
“Come with us-.”
“He is a new dead man.”
“Give me life, give me warmth-.”
Soon it was buried in the countless screams and could not be heard.
