Chapter 88 - EPISODE 88 – CRAZY COUPLE (1) (1/2)
What color is your blood? – a famous quote of the character Rei from the Japanese series Fist of the North Star. Frequently used when criticizing villains for their evil deeds.
The day of destruction.
It was the last day of Endymion, the capital of the magic kingdom of Magellan, which did not collapse even in a direct confrontation with the mighty Demon Prince of Hell.
Ruuuuumble-!
At first, it was a vibration.
Soon there was a tremendous roar, and the surrounding area – no, the whole underground shook.
Craaack! Craaack!
It was not an ordinary earthquake.
Dozens to hundreds of cracks appeared on the ground. The huge cracks spread, destroying the beautiful and elegant buildings built by the High Elves a long time ago.
Boooom! Craaaash!
Hundreds of buildings collapsed like dominoes.
It did not stop after that, as the reverberation on the ground grew stronger and countless debris began falling down from the ceiling.
Dragon vein.
A great stream of power that flowed in the underground of the wild lands.
A strong and unusual power that was the wild gods’ source of power.
A portion of it began to run out of control.
The dragon vein that the High Elves used as the city’s energy source in the past now exploded after having been stimulated by the Spear of Calamity.
Baaaaang!
Flames shot up through the torn ground.
And then there was a blinding light.
The terrifying power soared to the ceiling and destroyed everything it came across.
It only took a few seconds for all of these to happen.
“Aaaaah!”
“Waaah!”
“Gaaaak!”
The monsters from hell were screaming.
Even Bandaizel struggled in the midst of the fearsome natural disaster, so he couldn’t look back at Jude and Cordelia.
But not for Jude.
He opened his eyes and shouted, grasping Cordelia’s shoulders.
“Hey! You’re crazy!”
They were in an emergency and an extremely dangerous situation, but he couldn’t help but say those words to her.
And Cordelia struck back at such Jude.
“You said that you trusted me!”
“F*ck! Why did I trust you!”
“Ugh! You cursed! That’s too much!”
“You always do it!”
That was it.
They ran out of time to argue.
The ground shook and then collapsed as it began to sink, and the ceiling also fell down.
The rubble that crashed into the ground scattered in all directions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“F*ck.”
Jude cursed again.
It was a serious expression and not an exclamation, but Cordelia didn’t care. Cordelia suddenly hugged him and shouted.
“I trust in you too!”
And she activated the shield.
After using up most of her power to create the Spear of Calamity, she used her remaining power to activate Count Chase’s ring. A translucent blue shield appeared and covered the two.
“Fuuuck.”
Jude swore again and then carried Cordelia.
He carried her with the so-called princess carry and then looked up at the ceiling.
“I trust you.”
Cordelia’s voice sounded small when compared to the roaring sounds around them. But instead of responding to her, Jude immediately jumped up.
It was something that was seriously crazy to do, but if he didn’t, they would die.
“Uooooooh!”
He darted on the collapsing ground.
He grasped the location of the falling debris and computed his route in an instant.
Jude held his breath.
He created a whirlwind and used it to fly up like a gale.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening roars continued.
In the midst of that, Jude continued to yell. He climbed up and up, kicking on the falling debris.
Bang!
The wreckage hit their shield.
They were not injured because of the shield, but it caused Jude to fall down.
But it was only for a moment.
Jude spun around in the air and created a strong wind, and their fall stopped at that moment.
Cordelia hugged Jude’s neck, and supported him with <Fly> magic.
“Let’s goooo!”
Cordelia cried and Jude turned himself around again.
He used the whirlwind to break through the debris.
Baaaaang!
The whirlwind blew away the debris.
The shield pushed away the small rubble.
Just a little further.
He avoided the wreckage.
He avoided the collapsing ceiling…
Booom!
But it was too much.
The falling debris from the ceiling this time was too big.
As if it covered the sky.
However, Jude didn’t give up.
He strengthened his arms that held Cordelia and then shouted.
“Cordelia!”
“OK!”
Jude removed the shield.
Cordelia threw a <Spear of Calamity> into the sky, which she had made by scraping up her remaining energy.
“Spiral!”
The Spear of Calamity rotated and pierced the ceiling like a drill. It didn’t completely destroy the debris, but it succeeded in making a hole.
Jude rushed through that hole.
After he passed through the hole that was 2 meters in diameter, he made another leap by using the large ceiling rubble as a foothold.
“Uooooh!”
“It’s the sky!”
It was as Cordelia said.
The chilly blue sky welcomed Jude and Cordelia.
The sunlight that poured down was so beautiful.
They finally saw the sky.
The soaring Jude looked down at the ground, and unknowingly apologized to countless people.
A huge crater emerged, measuring hundreds of meters in diameter.
Hundreds and thousands of pieces of broken wreckage were messily piled upon the shattered ground.
“Crazy.”
“Ehehe.”
The last one was Cordelia. She had an awkward look as if she was ashamed, but she still stuck out her tongue.
And Jude landed on the ground.
