(EP-268.2) Song #5

268 – Cicada’s Song #5

“Lady Lioness, you’re trying to drag Sir Theo away like a criminal!? I don’t know what happened between you two, but isn’t this too much!?”

When I lifted my head, I saw Mirna Draco, holding a sword and a staff in each hand. Thanks to her, the fog in my mind cleared up.

“Lady Mirna...!”

“Sir Theo, are you alright? See, I told you I had a bad feeling.”

Mirna faced Elga, while men groaned on the ground. Looking at them, I could roughly guess what happened while I was losing consciousness.

“Mirna-nim, you granted my favor...!”

As I had asked Mirna the previous day, she had been watching my conversation with Elga from a distance.

“What’s this, Mirna, you!? Don’t interfere! This is the only way!”

Elga, furious, pulled out the rod that had been pinned in her hair like a hairpin, extending it lengthwise.

Juuuuk.

It transformed into a massive battle axe, the Halberd Crusher, exuding unbound ferocity all around.

“Get lost!”

Elga raised the enormous axe, as big as her body, and swung it down at Mirna without a moment’s hesitation.

Swaaaak-!

A crushing blow. Mirna’s eyes widened in surprise at the terrifying power.

“Are you serious, Lady Lioness!?”

She quickly retreated, putting distance between herself and Elga.

Tokaaang-!

Elga’s axe struck the ground, creating a deep crater in the shop floor. It was as if a small meteor had fallen.

━R, run!

━We need to get out of here!

At the sight of this, all patrons watching the sudden commotion panicked to death. Loud screams and the frantic footsteps of people trying to escape mixed together, creating chaos.

“Sir Theo, I’ll handle this, get out of here quick!”

Mirna shouted through the cloud of dust.

━Over there! Chase him!

Currently, the power of the Lioness family was no less than that of a king.

Their influence stretched all over Angmar, from the surface to the underground and even to the sky. Their banners of valor could be seen everywhere.

Because of that, I had to run through the alleyways nonstop. It felt like I had been running for over ten minutes already, yet the soldiers pursuing me showed no signs of fatigue.

No matter how many I subdued, they kept coming in endless waves. Engaging them in a war of attrition like this wouldn’t end well. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

I had to go somewhere they couldn’t follow me...!

━Got him!

Suddenly, someone grabbed my heel. Running at full speed, I stumbled forward.

Kudangtang-!

Falling into the unpaved, muddy road, my face scraped against the ground, and mud filled my mouth. But I didn’t have time to worry about that. I quickly chanted a spell.

—Paimon!

━Euack!

━He’s running away again! Surround him! Don’t let him get away!

━Stop him from reaching the palace! Deploy troops!

Did they notice that I was heading towards the palace? The Lioness soldiers were indeed skilled.

I continued to run frantically to avoid the soldiers stationed at various checkpoints, formations, and the quickly erected barricades.

My chest felt like it was about to explode, and the taste of iron filled my mouth, but I couldn’t afford to stop, not even for a second. Despite everything, my ears were acutely aware of the shouts from the soldiers behind me.

━Corner him! Lavenders Street ends soon!

Just as I thought.

They were trying to trap me in a dead-end and capture me. No wonder they were herding me from alley to alley. Was this how a cornered squirrel felt like?

However, what they failed to realize was that I was not just a mere rodent. If anything, I would be closer to a bat.

A winged beast, as a matter of fact.

“Come!”
