TEASER CHAPTER 8 PART 48
It has been a little
over an hour since the [City Isolation Barrier] disappeared.
The battle was finally
over, but Arcazam was in a state of turmoil everywhere, including the
administrative district.
A wall of light
suddenly appeared. The repeated explosions and flashes of light were more than
enough to cause anxiety and fear among all the inhabitants of the academic
city.
While the guards were
scrambling in all four districts of Arcazam. In a corner of the central park,
two figures, a man and a woman, stood side by side, their eyes fixed on the
administrative district where the battle had taken place.
"It’s over, isn’t
it? I never thought he would win..."
Among the two figures,
the woman was Mekria.
The woman was showing
a look of deep surprise while exposing her purple hair and her voluptuous body
wrapped in a dress.
"Of course, for
you, Mekria-chan, that would be completely unexpected. Well, I'm happy for you.
So, did you get what you wanted?"
The other figure. A
man who was known as the Corpse Raven turned his sickly pale face, which
reflected even in the darkness of the night, toward Mekria and held out his
hand as if urging her.
"Yes, it was in
his room."
What Mekria took out
of her pocket was a small bag. Corpse Raven opened the bag, which made a hard
metallic sound, and spread the contents on his palm.
Out of the bag came a
broken piece of jet-black metal.
Corpse Raven smiled as
he looked at the broken pieces, which reflected beautiful ripples on the
surface.
"I see, there is
no doubt about it. This is the blade that killed Tiamat. These fragments
are..."
He picked up the
fragments on his palm, put them back in the bag one by one, and put them into
his pocket with great care.
"Sealing of the
White Dragon King is finished. The rest should be done as planned..."
"Yeah, yeah. Well
then..."
Corpse Raven's figure
seemed to fade away as if melting into the darkness of the night.
Eventually, when the
pale man had completely vanished from the place, Mekria exhaled as if to
release the pent-up emotions in her chest.
"With this, my
long-cherished wish will finally be fulfilled. At last..."
As her breath faded
away in the night breeze, she slowly turned her eyes to look behind her.
She smiled and opened
her mouth to meet a familiar gaze from behind the bushes.
"What can I do
for you, Egrod-sama?"
As if in response to
her call, a man dressed in aristocratic garb emerged from behind a bush.
Egrod Fabran. He is
the head of a large family in the Kingdom of Forsina, which is the master of
Mekria and a political enemy of the Francilt family.
Mekria smiled with a
seductive smile as she put her finger over her mouth.
She is a mature woman,
and her sex appeal is so strong that even women, let alone men, would be
seduced by her.
However, despite
receiving such a seduction, Egrod slowly raised his right hand without changing
his expression at all.
The next moment,
soldiers clad in black armor jumped out from behind Egrod and surrounded her.
They were Egrod's
henchmen, the Knights of the Iron Body.
"Don't move..."
Berdych, the leader of
the Knights, pointed a dull, shiny blade at Mekria.
