043. Premonition (1)
“Leave the rest to me.”
With those last words, His Majesty’s body suddenly fell limp.
“… … !”
Number 21, who was standing next to him, quickly accepted him. At first glance, the person suddenly lost consciousness and was drooping, showing that he was in a very critical condition.
Aslan, who ran to him one step late and checked his pulse with the habit of an apothecary, soon turned pale.
“The pulse… … !”
The boy’s eyes became dizzy at the unbelievable fact.
“Bart… “Your Majesty’s falcon, the pulse has stopped?”
This isn’t just fainting, it’s death… … .
Aslan’s hands were shaking.
Number 21 also seemed a little embarrassed, but soon reassured the group with a calm voice.
“It’s just that your soul has gone somewhere for a while. “No need to worry.”
“What happened to His Majesty Bart?”
“Didn’t I tell you? This is not the original body. it’s okay.”
This person is usually just a soul and is good at playing with corpses.
With that added, No. 21 roughly adjusted his women’s clothing, then easily wrapped his Majesty’s body around his body and stood up. He nervously shook his head at Aslan’s offer to share the burden.
“Unlike the human body, the homunculus is very light.”
As he said, even while carrying His Majesty Bart, No. 21’s movements did not change much from before. The group again accelerated their steps toward the Guando Junction under his guidance.
However, it was from then on that the problems of the party without His Majesty began to emerge. Soon after, old Max, who was exhausted, began to noticeably slow down his steps.
To make matters worse, the frequency of encounters with search teams wandering down the mountain was increasing. I barely managed to avoid their eyes for a while, but in the end, I was unable to hide myself and was discovered by two search team members.
Number 21 rushed in like the wind and cut one of them’s carotid artery, but the remaining one hesitated, took out his emergency whistle and asked.
Beep-
With a sharp whistle sound, the dagger was plunged into the chest and the bandit fell. However, from now on, the escape would become a race against time. A look of disappointment flashed across the group’s faces.
They quickly tried to leave, but soon realized Old Man Max’s condition and took a deep breath. He was already exhausted and sweating profusely.
“Huh! I am… I can’t run. Now you’re wrong. omg! “Leave me behind.”
No. 21 was conflicted for a moment as he looked alternately at Old Man Max’s and His Majesty’s faces. However, he soon chewed his lips with a determined expression, as if he had decided on something.
“I guess it won’t work. “I will carry you, old man, so let’s leave your majesty here and leave as quickly as possible.”
yes? Aslan shouted in astonishment.
“Then what do you do, Your Majesty? “I will carry your Majesty on my back!”
“So this doesn’t work either. From now on, I will run at full speed to the gateway to Asean. “I can’t carry that burden.”
“but… … .”
“Just being fast is not enough. “We need something to catch their attention.”
The group headed to the flagship. It’s not enough to abandon His Majesty, so now you’re asking us to throw him to the bandits as bait.
“He may be predicting that possibility to some extent. “The fact that he even mentioned that we should throw it away was not just a request.”
I said there was a high probability that it would happen.
“It’s not your body anyway, so it’s not dangerous.”
“But, but even if there is no immediate danger, won’t you eventually come back to this body?”
Aslan wanted to cry.
Why did things turn out like this? Where did it go wrong?
Was it wrong for me to not have known in advance that the bandits were in secret with Carthage, even though I was an insider? Or was it wrong for them to insist on taking old Max with them in an urgent situation?
No, it may have been a mistake to come to this damn slash-and-burn village after struggling to survive in Rohan. Ah, it was all Aslan’s fault.
His Majesty Bart asked if he would regret it. Aslan now knew the answer.
He was now regretting everything he had done.
Meanwhile, No. 21, who had carefully placed His Majesty on a rock next to the road, approached Aslan, who was still crying and not knowing what to do, and grabbed his shoulder tightly.
“Listen carefully.”
He gritted his teeth and spoke to the boy with force.
“The most useless thing in this world is worrying about that person’s safety. Do you understand?”
However, it sounded desperate, as if it were words to strengthen himself rather than to Aslan, and Aslan had no choice but to nod calmly even though his eyes were filled with tears.
No. 21 spoke briefly while carrying old Max, who had a gloomy face, on his back.
“let’s go.”
The group looked back at His Majesty several times, and only then hastened their heavy steps as they saw people rushing from here and there.
* * *
Meanwhile, Nate, who had carelessly thrown away the homunculus, unaware of the speed at which the group was burning, was moving at high speed.
I was quite tired because I used a little too much energy to get out. Still, I felt much more comfortable than being trapped in a doll without an auror, feeling like I was slowly drowning.
As he gradually regained his strength, Nate’s speed also increased. However, even though it was shooting out like light, the sign of the barrier he had created was fading away, making him anxious. How far does this fearless guy plan to go?
[Good luck dad!]
A small bead-like blue light suddenly appeared and circled around Nate at high speed. Herna is always one step ahead.
[Mores killed little Digory’s bug! But I didn’t know that he would suddenly be sucked into an open channel. Sorry!]
[It was something no one expected. It’s not something you should be sorry about.]
And in the eyes of little Digory, you are a little boy, Herna.
[Dad, Your Majesty! The Knights of Saint Marsyas are coming.]
A small pink orb appeared next and landed gently on Nate’s soul. Kadesh is always one step back.
[The Durand boy is determined to tie up Mores this time. The momentum is so great.]
[If that’s the case, it’s already been said to Francis… By the way, honey. No matter how you look at Sir Durand, he’s not a kid, is he?]
He already has a grandson as tall as you, Kadesh.
Many times, Tyler is also one of the twins who doesn’t care about courtesy to his elders.
[Puppet master, he is still in the capital. I’m going around with that grumpy guy from Rohan.]

[I have no contact with Little Digory, but I told Breman to keep an eye on him just in case.]
Herna and Kadesh followed Nate in circles, as if they were taking a walk.
Among Nate’s children, only two can open the channel. So they shared relatively more information with him compared to other children.
[Sunghwang Dad, we’re done here.]
[Dad, Your Majesty, you must come back safely.]
However, since they were still young children, they could not maintain channeling for long.
Nate caught a glimpse of the twin’s twinkling light as if sending him off at the edge of the planetary system, and then quickly picked up speed and flew toward the outer nebula.
The presence of the barrier has now become extremely faint, reaching a point where it cannot be detected unless one is extremely focused.
As he was crossing the five melodies flowing between nebulae, at some point, something like a round gray sparkling bead followed next to him. The clear and transparent gray color also resembled someone’s eyes.
[your majesty.]
It’s Kornsei.
Nate frowned. It is at times like this that a person you don’t want to see appears.
[You must remain in your seat. Do not be fooled by the tricks of evildoers anymore.]
The thought wave uttered by the leader of Kornsheim had an extremely dry tone. Just hearing it reminded him of that hard face and impersonal voice, and Nate became very uncomfortable.
He sped up even more and let out a short thought.
[go away.]
[…] We must not forget His Majesty’s duty.]
At the same time, gray beads begin to increase one by one around him. The clans attempted to connect at the same time.
[Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty… … .]
[Your Majesty, your Majesty… … .]
Soon dozens of round beads surrounded Nate. They blink their lights at the same time as if their eyes are blinking. Creep clatter.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
Although he doesn’t say anything, he continues to call out to Nate as if he is asking for something. It was still insidious.
[Don’t steal it arbitrarily. Close the channel. It’s Kornsei.]
It’s a disaster. In response to his will, a strong wave centered around his soul swept through the surroundings. The small beads were shocked and stopped blinking all at once.
Even so, it was difficult to maintain composure in the spirit state, unlike when in the main body. No, it would be closer to not being able to control emotional changes. Even now, as he began to feel uncomfortable, an evil force began to spread from his soul.
The small beads looked at Nate for a moment as if they were scared, and then they began to disappear one by one. Now all that remains is the leader of the group that first appeared.
[your majesty. Everything must go as it should. You should no longer hold on to what has already left.]
A halo of light begins to gather in Nate’s right hand, and soon forms the shape of a long stick. His sword is shaped like a nutcracker.
After this there won’t even be a warning. The leader of Kornsim, who clearly understood his intentions, faded away with a small lament.
[Please don’t blindly trust your premonitions… … .]
As soon as he disappeared, Nate was left alone in a distant universe.
I tried to concentrate my senses as much as I could again, but I could no longer sense any sign of the barrier. While wasting time on the Kornsheim group, his son’s soul had already drifted far away.
Anyway, it’s such a needless distraction, it would have been better to just let the Inquisitors wipe it out.
Nate had no choice but to guess the direction of the last sign he sensed and started moving forward.
I was a little anxious, but I still had some faith. If his son called him even once, there was no way Nate would miss that voice.
How much time has passed?
Nate, who was aimlessly walking outside, started to get nervous. Although the sense of time was vague in this place, it still seemed like a long time had passed since she had missed her son’s presence.
[Where on earth are you doing? … .]
I couldn’t understand that child at all. If it gets to this point, shouldn’t you call your father at least once?
Is that child really independent-minded or just mindless?
It was that moment.
-Father, His Majesty Seonghwang… … .
It was a faint, fleeting thought.
Rather than calling him, it was just a momentary thought… … .
That was enough for Nate. He shot out in the direction where the thought wave came from.
It was when he almost reached the border of the dimension that he found his son. Whether or not he knew how scary Ye was, his son was floating in the darkness with a carefree face, holding a crumb of soul in his arms.
Nate felt a tingle in his back that couldn’t exist in his soul.
[But why does the god who looks after this dimension just watch these guys waiting for an opportunity?]
That’s what they say, that insignificant souls do nothing in the cold, as if they could freeze and crumble at any moment. Nate was a little dumbfounded.
This guy always said he had a lot of questions, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of studying.
[That’s because the main god who looks after Delcross is not a personal god, son.]
Even if you had only read Chapter 1 of Introduction to Theology, or at least the introduction, you would not have said that. If you’re so lazy about everything, what on earth do you want to be when you grow up?
Of course, his son also thought that he was a man who didn’t work hard and played around, but Nate never knew that. Well, even if I knew, what would I do? He said that it is the so-called parental privilege to force children to do things that they themselves could not do.
Light enveloped his son, who was looking at him with wide eyes, and he prepared to cast nag.
