I Became the Snow Woman I Made

56 – The dead under the moonlight (2)

The world is a bit far away.

Is it because of overuse or because of an unexpected situation?

Standing in front of my eyes was a dark knight with an infinitely lofty attitude.

I asked.

“Why Chelmsford.”

“A monster hunter never misses a target.”

A gloomy voice came through the helmet.

My mind went a little blank.

“You’ve been following me.”

“If you have to put it that way, yes.”

It was a very dignified attitude.

As I fully grasped the situation, I was more than embarrassed and annoyed.

I wasn’t particularly curious about when and how they were tracked down.

It was just an obsession, an obsession.

“There is no such thing as a bad relationship.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s bad luck.”

Even though I was coldly brainwashed, I didn’t lose a word.

Still, it seemed that persuasion was impossible.

“·······.”

From noble mtl dot com

The hall was stiff, unable to keep up with the untimely development.

Nell bit his lip, and the Knights of Radiance were confused between me and the Dark Knight.

It was embarrassing because the uproar broke out right after the riot ended.

Then Chandrafail took another step this way.

“Quillière.”

“Why?”

As much as I knew the guy’s potential, my saliva dried up from the tension. But for now, I had no choice but to respond.

His next words were somewhat questionable.

“Do you know my life?”

And it was out of the blue.

How can I know?

“I don’t know.”

I haven’t decided how to live in this world. It’s just a guess based on the settings is the limit.

“My first memory was in the middle of an underworld.”

But was that setting the problem?

I had a hunch and my eyes widened slightly.

“Bodies on the floor. Hard blood painted like wallpaper. Children trembling in fear and scoffing scoundrels…”

“·······.”

─The dark knight is born in the lowest place.

One day, when I was making Chandra Pale, it was the first phrase I wrote down.

“······Then the two-headed monster was released from the cage. It changed its target to me, who appeared out of nowhere instead of the children. Until then, I was numb. I was as indifferent as a corpse lying around.”

─Immediately after birth, I face a powerful monster.

There were no major concerns.

I just put it in because I was tempted by the history of killing monsters since I was born.

However, what kind of feeling would it have felt for him, the person involved?

“·······.”

Chandrafale wasn’t excited or fussed.

He was blunt, as if he was just telling the truth, so people listened intently.

“But the moment the monster rushed forward, the moment I felt threatened, I came to life. I instinctively knew what to do.”

─Thrill addiction.

I feel alive in the struggle for my life.

One of the most important identities of the Black Knight.

It was now entangling me beyond him. Chandrapale drew the sword from her waist.

A demonic energy spread throughout his body,

“Monsters cut.”

It spurred the ground and ran.

An attack with unexpected timing.

My mouth opened slightly.

“···!”

That reaction, which was unlikely to show up, proved the extreme astonishment. I don’t have much mana left.

Still, as I was about to respond somehow, a longsword intervened.

“You bastard!”

Targal, commander of the Bright Knights.

He received the ghost sword from the front.

Chae Ae-Aeng—!

A battle of strength and power unfolded.

The black knight, who had pushed forward without hesitation, slipped away.

The movement was very light, and it was as if it was nothing more than a joke.

“Keuugh…!”

However, Targal broke out in a cold sweat and drool. His hands trembled violently in recoil.

Nevertheless, he sternly opened his mouth.

“This must be the rumored saintess. I can’t let her do harm. Please step back.”

My characteristics have already been revealed to the world.

Since the hood was off, it seems that he noticed immediately.

Belatedly, Nell and Lucia also came running.

“Hey, you bastard with a communication disorder! You’ve been doing what you’ve been doing all this time!”

“I don’t know who it is, but stop. Didn’t you just see the dead of the waves?! The saintess must be tired now.”

Fortunately, I guess I haven’t lived a bad life.

I exhaled and looked around at them, then looked back at the black knight.

“The two-headed monster… The twin-headed ogre fell in one blow.”

He was back to being as nonchalant as before.

However, the tip of the sword was pointed at me.

“But you are different.”

“So.”

Unable to bear it, I sneakily opened my mouth.

I couldn’t just go through it like this.

“What can I do?”

“…That’s my first memory. It’s like being born by cutting down a monster.”

“Are you saying that could be your mission?”

“Yes.”

It was intended to be an insult, but the guy nodded calmly.

I clicked my tongue and asked him in detail about his past.

“How did they do it?”

“I killed all the black swordsmen.”

“Children.”

“I let them go.”

I don’t know what choices his carefully crafted personality and temperament led to.

“You just let them go?”

Conversely, it was difficult to guess what the intention of this choice was.

As such, humans are complex creatures.

Was it simple good intentions or did you not have much thought?

You may or may not have known what the life of a homeless tramp would be like in this harsh world.

Of course it wasn’t his fault.

Anyway, I did my duty just by saving you.

“Yes. One followed.”

While doing so, the black knight glanced at Paley.

I finally understood how the two met.

I was Jueok,

“So.”

I asked again.

Chandrapale took another step closer.

“That’s it.”

“That’s it?”

“Born to kill, lived to kill. What more does this chain need?”

“·······.”

Even without seeing his face, it was easy to guess his gaze.

There must be some certainty.

He was explaining now.

About his beliefs and reason for existence.

“Quillière.”

“Why?”

“You think I’m crazy.”

But he got the wrong person to talk to.

If you thought I wouldn’t know about you, you’d be wrong. I pondered over his setting.

He must have lived that way all along.

“No.”

I wouldn’t have listened to what others said.

My answer changed the airflow of Chandra Pale for the first time. Oddly enough, he seemed satisfied.

“As expected, you know. Change is not necessary. Even if it is necessary, it will be after seeing the end of the chain—”

“Stupid. Not crazy.”

Perhaps it was because of the emotions, especially strong vicious words came out. The black knight stood tall, and people looked at me with astonished eyes.

However, I did not regret it.

Since I made it, I tried to understand it as much as possible, but even that had its limits.

Stubbornness isn’t something only you can do.

“Don’t try to hide your stupidity with the excuse that you’re crazy.”

“······I’m stupid.”

“It’s stupid. It’s frustrating.”

The black knight spat out a half-word in anger. I just made up my mind and continued.

“Besides, it’s annoying.”

“You…”

“You have to know how to give up if you feel like it won’t work. Nothing will be solved by yelling at me.”

I intentionally scratched my nerves.

I won’t listen to it anyway.

Also, if I did this, my pride would be hurt and I might quit. Because the logic is that if you keep attacking, you’re stupid.

The black knight was silent for a while, as if choosing what to say, then spat out.

“That’s half true.”

“…Really?”

Oh.

Could it be eaten?

I was looking forward to it for a while, but of course it couldn’t be.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at me.

“So let’s test it to see if it really doesn’t work.”

“… Chit.”

Right after that, he rushed in, aiming his sword.

To be honest, I didn’t even expect it from the beginning.

Since I was marked as his target, I can’t go over well.

Chaeeng—! Chae Ae-Aeng——!

Targal stopped him as he attacked like a raging sword. Although he was quite old, he struggled energetically.

“Kuhh… Damn it!”

By the time he collapsed, I was able to pull out the talisman.

It was absurd to defeat the black knight with the remaining magic power, so I had to borrow the power of a casting.

Even if it’s not the dead, the divine power will work.

“You bastard!”

“Stop it!”

Next was Nell and Lucia’s joint effort.

The divine shield was erected, and bloody winds raged.

For a moment, the dark knight’s sword had a strong demonic spirit.

Wow!

Within a short time, the beginning of the ghost island was developed.

Chandra Pale easily broke through the resistance of many strong people.

It’s literally a mess.

It was a dance that fit perfectly with the title of one-man corps.

Even though he hasn’t grown up properly, he’s an extremely fearful opponent.

“… Chandra Pale.”

He came right in front of me in no time.

I stretched out my talisman with a thin, trembling hand. Since the forehead is impossible, the target is the closest shoulder.

I went ahead with only that one point in mind… But it seems that I was too focused.

He didn’t pay attention to his lower body, so he tripped.

“······!”

With that recoil, I missed Talisman.

An indescribable bewilderment spread from within.

Oh no.

I froze with my hand outstretched.

In that slowed-down world, I saw a scattering talisman and an approaching sword.

“Ah.”

It was too late to avoid it.

I thought this was the end, but luckily even the black knight didn’t seem to consider this variable.

My hand landed on his shoulder as his sword glided past.

That was the moment.

“Huh…!?”

Chandrapale shuddered and let go of the sword.

Kwak-!

The ghost sword that fell on the road gave a sad hum.

An unexpected phenomenon. Dozens of question marks floated on the top of my head.

“…What is it?”

I couldn’t understand at all, so I desperately turned my head to grasp the situation.

Before long, the realization flooded into my brain.

His posture was obviously out of order.

It was like my foot when I sprained, which meant I made a mistake!

“To make such a rudimentary mistake…”

It wasn’t like the dark knight of the world.

But that’s why it was a heaven-sent opportunity.

I pressed his hand on his shoulder even harder.

He did not stop at that and raised all his remaining magic power. The attribute power gathered to the maximum was dropped on Chandra Pale.

“Keep it off…!”

Unheard of and unseen screams flowed.

This was also not like him, but thanks to it, I could see that it was being eaten.

I saw hope.

I squeezed out even the strength I had been sucking on and poured out my resentment over and over again.

A stream of ice shimmered across his armor.

“Keuuu!”

The black knight, whose posture was greatly damaged, was still somehow enduring.

Feeling threatened by him, he released more of his mana. This was my last chance.

Don’t let him get away with it.

With one single thought to crush him, he exploded his strength to the limit.

The black knight who endures with me who oppresses me.

This confrontation continued for some time, and eventually.

“──!”

Chandrapale groaned and collapsed completely. His head dropped.

Even so, I couldn’t let go.

“······Win?”

Maybe it’s acting.

While maintaining the attack as it was, I continued to look at his expression. No matter how I looked at it, I couldn’t feel the will to fight.

In the end, he hesitated and withdrew his hand.

To be honest, I was dubious.

“That black knight.”

Falling down like this?

As I maintained my suspicious gaze, I heard someone’s footsteps.

“… Oh, Holy Lady!”

Looking back, it was Targal.

He looked exhausted, and his features were in full bloom, as if he had witnessed an alien.

“What the hell did you do… Anyway, you’re amazing. You defeated this black knight!”

“·······.”

“Besides, one hand is so leisurely…! I’ve lived a short life, but a shock like today—”

He poured out sincere admiration.

Nell’s and Lucia’s expressions were not much different.

Since they faced the black knight head-on, they must have had a different feeling.

“No big deal.”

After trying to answer, I looked down again.

Chandrapail on her knees.

It’s a great monster, but… It seems that the blow of not being able to ride the proper ‘route’ was great.

It must have been quite unreasonable as he pierced through the resistance of the three people.

“…Besides, the battle of the dead has just ended.”

If he was a one-man army, he would have fought alone without anyone’s help.

Perhaps they fought a fierce battle on the way here. That personality and luck saved me.

“Saint.”

Then Targal spoke in a serious voice.

He was looking at my hair.

“I will serve you in the Great Shrine. From the catastrophe to today’s riot of the dead, no one can deny the saintess’ active activities. Please officially become a saint of the kingdom.”

“…Adults.”

I rolled the word in my mouth.

Finally, this day has come.

I have avoided getting deeply involved with Kyoguk, but it was difficult to do so when it came to this.

I couldn’t help but change my mindset.

“That’s right. I am a saint of the Religion. Let’s go to the Great Temple first. Even the ambassadors will not object.”

From noble mtl dot com

A cluttered street.

The Great War of the Dead is over, but the incident itself is not yet over.

When I think of what I will do in the future, the title of adult is a great advantage.

Now that things have turned out like this, I’ll just have to suck on the sweet water. I nodded my head and said.

“No.”

“…Yes, yes?”

Organize the situation as quickly as possible.

I’m an adult and I’m going to use it until then, let’s jump out.

As long as you’re out of the kingdom, there shouldn’t be a problem with what you’re treated.

I spoke firmly.

“I go myself”

“Ah… Ah! I see. To the Great War…?”

“Just follow me.”

Once you have made up your mind, break through forcefully.

I strode towards the building on the other side.

“Yeep!”

Targal, who shouted vigorously, came up behind me, and Nell and Lucia hurriedly followed.

Targal, the sheep, suddenly said, “I’m sorry.”

“Saintess. What do you want to do with that black knight over there?”

“The Black Knight.”

“Yes. Since I dared to lay my hand on the saintess, I shouldn’t go over it lightly.”

I thought about that for a while.

Even if it’s like an ugly duckling, it’s my second character, so I’ll probably take care of it, but… I was embarrassed right now.

Very much.

“Do it yourself.”

The words that were vomited were infinitely cold.

It might be a bit risky, but he’s a very handsome man, so he’ll take care of it.

Anyway, I got over the hurdle with this.

Artan and Agnatsu made their way through the dead and arrived at the center belatedly.

What they saw was a huge tsunami.

“Great Magic…!”

Artan’s eyes widened.

A power that is different from that of the dead. This, too, must have been the crux of the matter.

I was nervous, but there was no need to step out.

In a different sense, it was a series of shocking scenes.

“…Quillier.”

The appearance of a woman he could not forget even in his dreams.

Her performance, which everyone stared at, was truly phenomenal.

He defeated the dead of the waves alone, and easily defeated the black knight that appeared right after.

It was a surprise. To the extent that words can’t express it all.

Artan made a strange face imbued with her awe, but Agnatsu nodded as if it were natural.

“This is an obvious result.”

Even the words were the same.

However, her wrinkled eyes were trembling slightly.

Artan didn’t have the energy to focus on that contradiction.

“I knew it was strong, but this much…”

I realized what kind of existence she was.

It was the first time she had seen her fight properly, so the shock was not so great.

Her impatience and pressure consumed Artan.

Is it really okay to look at her herself?

She then said she was going to leave for Quilière instead of the ex.

“Ah.”

Artan moved reflexively.

Hill Oz and the Royal Guard naturally followed him.

Don’t miss her.

She didn’t even know what to say when they met, but she acted with that one thought.

However, some white armor blocked his way.

“······!”

Paladin Duwade.

After watching all the scenes, he looked down at Artan with cold eyes.

In fact, he had been waiting for Quilière to step out when he was in danger.

That’s why it was only right when the sword demon invaded, or at least when the dead brought a tidal wave.

However.

“…Unfaithfully.”

She couldn’t because she wanted to witness the power of the goddess. The reason why it’s ‘I couldn’t’ rather than ‘I didn’t’ is because the feeling was so intense.

And it was a choice with no regrets.

There has never been a day as faithful and precious as this.

“Even that sword demon was calmly defeated…”

He was a transcendental strongman who defeated himself as a paladin.

To make him kneel with only his hands that made it infinitely leisurely and lofty.

Isn’t that an insignificant attitude, as if dealing with a troublesome intruder?

It was a word and action befitting an absolute existence.

Dew Wade couldn’t be more satisfied than he had just discovered.

The existence of an armed force trying to chase her.

“Don’t move one step from here.”

He looked around Artan and the Royal Guard and made a solemn declaration.

Perhaps it was just adventurers and travelers who admired the majesty of Quilière.

Still, I couldn’t let those who offended me approach me.
