Shuher was only surprised that Evenel mentioned cooperation.
“I will attack with a gun to draw attention while lowering the altitude. Then Your Majesty will finish it off.”
“Are you commanding me now?”
“Call it a desperate plea.”
Despite his words, his expression was not desperate at all, but Shuher willingly agreed. He wanted to see her skills up close.
‘Let’s begin then.’
Evenel first aimed at Raphiru’s wing without hesitation and pulled the trigger. It was felt strongly with that one shot.
“It’s completely different.”
Despite the heavy power, there was almost no recoil, and it stuck to her hand as if she had used it for a long time.
‘It must be special since it’s the Emperor’s thing.’
Evenel accurately hit Raphiru’s left wing, but it was only momentarily unbalanced as it was more robust than ordinary steel, and it was flying calmly.
And as planned, the monster began to attack her intensively.
Evenel didn’t stop firing, even as it rapidly approached with a threatening noise. She hit it accurately in the order of the right wing and the body while narrowly avoiding the wingtips.
‘Amazing.’
In contrast, Shuher, who seemed to be leisurely watching the situation, knew for sure that he was not mistaken. Her skill was beyond that of a knight who had been trained for a long time.
And it was clear to his eyes.
The pleasure and confidence hidden behind those eyes, pulling the trigger without faltering.
Raphiru, wounded by Evenel’s calm attack, was flying lower and lower. But the more it did so, the more resistant it became.
‘My body is too heavy.’
He could clearly feel that his senses were dull compared to the body he had trained for national representation. And it was utterly exhausting because he had already faced the monster once.
He had come a long way without rest, and what kind of bolt from the blue was this?
The dress had long lost its original elegance as she had been rolling on the ground. It was torn not only at the hem but also at the sleeves, making it doubtful if it was a dress at all.
“Will you continue to stand still?”
More than anything else, Evenel was furious as she looked at Shuher, who was doing nothing but watching the situation. Someone is struggling like this.
Suddenly she pulled the trigger when cornered, but there were no bullets.
‘Of all times.’
Even as she ejected the empty shell and reloaded a new bullet, the monster was rapidly approaching Evenel.
And as she aimed the muzzle straight at it, Shuher stepped in front of her and swung the sword he had been holding.
“Kkiek!”
With that one movement, Raphiru was pushed far away.
She had escaped the dangerous situation with his help, but a rather curt voice came from Evenel’s mouth.
“I wish you had helped me sooner.”
“I thought it was the right timing.”
Even as they exchanged jokes, Raphiru was approaching him, screeching as if its ears were being torn. But Shuher didn’t seem to think of avoiding it.
“Now……”
The moment Evenel was about to say that he should avoid it, an unknown energy began to flow from his sword.
‘What is that?’
It was clearly visible to her eyes, even though it was intangible. Soon, a black sword aura enveloped the entire sword.
Eventually, Evenel realized what it was.
‘The power to counter the monsters given to the Calies Empire.’
It was clear that this was the source of that power. Although she couldn’t know exactly what it was, the fear conveyed to her skin made her involuntarily step back.
If she made a mistake, she felt that she would be cut in an instant by that intangible power.
Shuher, holding a sword wrapped in the sword aura, as soon as the monster came within range, cut it in one stroke at the exact spot Evenel had pointed out.
The body that even withstood bullets was miserably cut in two by that power.
“Incredible…….”
The bright white light emanating from the core completely disappeared, and at the same time, the black energy enveloping Shuher’s sword also diminished.
Evenel stared at the blood dripping from her sword, then collapsed to the ground in shock, feeling the reality at last.
Where she was, what situation she was in, and whether this ability was an opportunity or a misfortune.
‘I’ve really come to this absurd world.’
She had no choice but to admit that the story was unfolding regardless of her will. The butterfly effect caused by her choice to survive.
“Ha ha ha ha.”
Laughter was all that came out, for it was unbelievable. Someone might think she was crazy.
Shuher, having sheathed his sword, approached Evenel, who was lost in thought. His words were harsh.
“Have you gone mad?”
“Isn’t it strange not to go mad in this situation? I’ve overcome the risk of death twice in one day.”
The hand that had been holding the gun began to tremble as she relaxed her grip. She didn’t feel anything anymore. Who knew what would happen once they opened that door and went out.
Then, a hand was extended in front of her.
Following the scarred hand, she met eyes with Shuher, who snapped his fingers as she stared blankly.
Take my hand and stand up.
