The Villain Carries the Holy Sword – Chapter 109.1

Chapter 109.1: On the Day Spring Arrives (4)

Olivia, severely punished for a single joke, opened her eyes wide.

She was sure she had been chasing after Glumiêm through the ‘Deep Forest’ just a moment ago, but in reality, she hadn’t even entered.

“Ugh.”

Moreover, she must have been lying helplessly on the ground, as her nose and mouth were filled with wet soil.

“Long story short, you were hit by Glumiêm’s illusion magic, and we came to rescue you.”

Olivia looked around.

From the unusual elf gasping for breath to Oleciren and her party fighting in the distance.

She opened her eyes wide in an instant.

“Since when could Oleciren fight like that?”

It was a shock.

The Oleciren she knew was a woman who didn’t come out when she had to, and who always smiled faintly like a Gypsum Flower.

However, Oleciren, standing in the middle of the battlefield, showed the dignity of a queen, following Glumiêm.

“Besides, why are her eyes like that?”

Olivia took off her helmet.

Unlike her rich gray hair, her eyes were shining gold.

As gray hair and eyes were the traditional symbol of the Airian royal family, she always wore a mask to hide her face.

To be precise, to hide her different eyes from Oleciren’s gray ones.

“They look alike.”

Cain raised the corners of his mouth.

Olivia immediately frowned and snapped.

“What do you mean they look like Oleciren?”

“They look like Hybolt.”

“…….”

Who else would a daughter resemble if not her father?

Olivia’s mouth closed shut.

As she seemed to have come to her senses, he continued.

“Anyway, we’re going to wake up the expedition, but the old man said they might not come to their senses as soon as they wake up.”

“Yes, even I would have taken a while if it hadn’t been for that last blow.”

For some reason, the elves didn’t scatter and kill the expedition, but only confronted Cain and Oleciren’s group.

It was an attitude of wanting the fruit to ripen before the final harvest rather than for the sake of victory in battle.

Cain found them pathetic.

He had thought those who stood before him were decent hunters, but they weren’t. He stood face to face with arrogant harvesters.

“Oleciren is the rightful successor of ‘Headbreaker.’ Can you take command of the expedition as she orders?”

“If it’s my order, the trained knights will follow it even if they’re dazed, but…….”

Olivia clenched her fists.

The first queen to conquer the ‘Deep Forest’.

The greatest hero who slaughtered the elves.

It was her future within reach. It was something she should have achieved soon.

But not anymore.

The reality was that she was a defeated general who lost the entire expedition to Glumiêm’s magic.

Moreover, she would have to bear the disgrace of being in the same boat as Ross, who was standing with the elves in the distance.

As soon as she woke up from her fantasy, Olivia realized that her dream had truly passed like a dream.

Whoooong━.

A humid and cold wind blew. It brushed against her cheek, and the wind carried a little moisture.

“Are you going to do it or not?”

Cain asked urgently.

As Faye MacGeraghty’s energy stabilized, the momentum of the elves aiming at him sharpened again.

Just before the battle resumed, Cain wanted a definite answer.

Olivia replied curtly.

“What if I say no?”

“I’ll kill you.”

Swish━.

Cain’s Agweska moved.

The pitch-black blade, from which even a drop of blood rolled down, approached Olivia’s neck.

Olivia, who had not expected Cain to go this far, gritted her teeth.

“I’ll do it.”

She grabbed the floor and stood up.

Her golden eyes were filled with resentment, anger, and emptiness.

‘Tsk, a lie.’

Cain sensed it.

Such a lie would not be difficult for a woman who had lost everything in an instant.

Still, if Marquis McLoud and Oleciren spoke to her together, she would do it.

Scoop━.

Cain grabbed her hand.

And after pulling her right next to him, he whispered.

“From now on, I’m going to take you to Oleciren. Endure it.”

Olivia glanced at the elves watching Cain, exuding green killing intent.

“What about these elves?”

“I’ll kill them.”

At the same answer as before, Olivia snorted and said.

“Why is it always ‘I’ll kill them’━?”

No, she couldn’t finish her sentence.

Because Faye MacGeraghty, who had recovered her stamina, raised her hand, and at that moment, a shower of arrows poured down again.

The elves in reality were on a different level from the helpless elves she saw in the illusion.

Olivia closed her eyes at the terrifyingly sharp arrows.

“Run!”

Cain ran, holding her hand as it was.

Olivia was scared of the arrows, but she trusted the warmth she felt in his hand and ran alongside him.

Ting ting ting ting━!

One sword draws one trajectory.

However, Agweska in Cain’s hand drew a dazzling and complex trajectory, as if the clouds in the sky were moving.

It was good that Cain’s ‘Pure White Thunderbolt’ slightly deflected the arrowheads, but since he had to move while protecting Olivia, it was right to strike them down directly.

“Wind━!”

“Water━!”

The pressure of the wind rushed in.

The falling raindrops transformed into sharp awls and fell.

“My, my feet!”

Olivia exclaimed in horror.

The solid ground turned into mud that sank the moment she stepped on it with the power of the earth spirit.

Craaaack━.

Lightning struck Cain’s entire body.

Cain, who had already become strong enough without sacrificing the future, lifted Olivia from the ground with lightning and carried her on his shoulder.

Lightning constantly sparked beneath Cain’s feet, shattering all the tricks the earth spirit was playing.

The spiritualists who kept trying realized that Cain’s lightning was something on a completely different level.

“Don’t even think about it!”

Thud━.

It was Faye MacGeraghty.

She even drank the recovery potion made by refining the dew that collected on the World Tree every morning and rushed in.

Shhhhhhh━!
