The Baby Runs the Romance Fantasy with Cash – Episode 186

☆ Chapter 186 ☆

* * *

Clang!

Clang, clang, clang!

Each time the massive greatsword struck, a dull explosion echoed.

‘Damn it!’

Muriel recoiled in horror.

‘Shouldn’t a sword make a slicing sound when it strikes?’

How strong did one have to be to cause explosions?

The tea house resembled a war zone.

Not just the furniture, but the pillars and ceiling were being smashed to pieces by Ruatisha’s greatsword.

“Hmm……”

Pausing her attack, Ruatisha let out a small hum and angled her sword to the side.

‘Hmph, I’ve seen that attack enough times to know what it is.’

Even though she was being pushed back by that brute force, there was no way she would be unilaterally defeated by a child.

Muriel predicted Ruatisha’s sword path and lunged toward an opening.

Crimson aura gathered in her hand.

Such a large strike was bound to leave an opening after the swing.

‘If I aim for that gap— Ugh!’

Whoosh—!

A table suddenly flew toward her, and Muriel twisted her body in alarm.

The small storm created by the sword’s wind pressure had launched the table.

‘Crazy……!’

Who would have thought she could create a whirlwind with sword wind and aura flow to throw a table?

She barely managed to avoid the trap, but the sudden movement strained her muscles.

And Ruatisha didn’t miss that fleeting moment.

As if she had predicted it all.

“Who.”

Clang!

“Is running.”

Clang!

“Away from who?”

Claaaaang!

Muriel, struck by the greatsword enveloped in dark aura, flew in a straight line.

“Keuh……!”

The red blood spurting from her mouth painted a trajectory.

Thud! Bang! Clatter!

Muriel crashed into a display case, collapsing along with the debris.

“Now do you get it? Who was supposed to run away.”

Ruatisha casually slung the massive greatsword over her shoulder and looked down at the shattered remains.

The debris where Muriel was buried remained motionless.

Ruatisha’s gaze flickered to the side.

– Ability 〈Ugh, I Just Wanted to Live Quietly?〉 Remaining time: 00:09:28

‘Ten minutes left.’

That was the time she could use the Sword Master’s power.

‘It’s tight. But—’

She would definitely finish her off within that time.

Her paraiba-blue eyes sank coldly.

If she had known she would be fighting Muriel today, she would have drawn other abilities, but unfortunately, this battle was unplanned.

Still, what could be considered fortunate was that the power and nature of her aura were different from those of the female lead in 〈The Princess Hides Her Power〉.

‘Our female lead definitely used a refined and beautiful swordsmanship, not this barbaric one.’

Remembering the female lead wielding a slender rapier and creating golden flames, Ruatisha felt a bit dissatisfied.

How great would it be if she could also create golden flowers and fight 멋있게 [meositge – stylishly or coolly in Korean] ?

However, Ruatisha’s surroundings were a complete mess, as if a yaksha [a fierce, demonic being in Hindu and Buddhist mythology] had swept through.

She didn’t know why there was such a difference.

‘But for some reason, this suits me well.’

She didn’t really want to admit it.

It was then.

Kugugugung!

The broken debris stirred, then scattered in all directions like a shotgun blast.

It was a fleeting moment.

Sharp shards of glass threatened to tear the child’s delicate skin, and pointed wooden pillars seemed ready to pierce her small body.

But.

“Is that all you’ve got?”

Kwaang!

A foot too small to belong to a sword demon stomped down.

But the effect was tremendous.

The floor caved in, and shockwaves surged.

Using the force of her step, Ruatisha leaped forward.

But even in the air, there were flying fragments.

Although the trajectory of the fragments wavered due to the shockwave’s immense force, there was a limit.

A shard of glass narrowly grazed Ruatisha’s cheek beneath her eye, leaving a long cut.

But Ruatisha didn’t close her eyes.

From the start, her target wasn’t the fragments flying toward her.

Ruatisha gripped the greatsword tightly.

The blade, heavily infused with aura, vibrated intensely. The hilt creaked and groaned.

There was no need to be flashy.

There was no need to use fancy techniques.

‘If you’re strong, you don’t need to use your head!’

If you swing with tremendous power and speed, you can take down anything!

Bang!

A sound too dull to be called a sword strike echoed.

After beating down Muriel, Ruatisha kicked off the wall without landing.

She stuck to the flying Muriel and slammed her into the ground.

Kugugugung! Crack!

The marble floor shattered, unable to withstand the force.

Thud, Ruatisha pressed the blade against Muriel’s neck.

Gurgling, bloody foam bubbled between Muriel’s lips.

‘Just a human bitch……!’

Her insides were already a mess, and her left arm was broken so many times that she had no feeling in it.

Muriel contorted her face and looked up at Ruatisha.

But there was no sign of triumph or relief on the child’s face.

Ruatisha opened her mouth with a blank expression.

“Do you regret it?”

“What?”

“Do you regret anything?”

“……”

“If you don’t, I’ll make you regret it. No, even if you do, I’ll make you regret it even more.”

Ruatisha twisted the sword and stabbed Muriel in the stomach.

“Keuheok!”

“Don’t act tough. You won’t die from this.”

Ruatisha pulled out the sword and stabbed it into another spot this time.

“Heoeok……!”

Even as her body was pierced, Muriel realized.

The two places she had been stabbed were—.

“Opheli, A, I……zel.”

Ruatisha paused at the fragmented name.

“Ha, haha, ha…….”

Muriel laughed with blood-soaked lips. Each time she laughed, blood gushed from her pierced stomach, but she didn’t seem to care.

“That bitch’s death…… hue, was quite heartbreaking, huh? This is quite a good deal, isn’t it?”

Muriel’s eyes gleamed strangely.

“Even she was like this, but what if your precious family members— Keuheok!”

The sword, enveloped in dark aura, pierced Muriel’s chest.

“Eu, heu, eua, aaaaaaack!”

Tormented by the pain of burning bones, Muriel involuntarily reached out to Ruatisha.

Normally, it wouldn’t have been this painful.

‘Th, this is…… an evil-destroying energy……?’

It was a very faint energy, but it was definitely there.

‘Damn it, not now…….’

She couldn’t resist it now, weakened as she was.

Muriel gritted her teeth, and crimson energy gathered in her right hand.

It was a desperate, final struggle.

But Ruatisha didn’t care whether that crimson energy stabbed her or not, and remained motionless with the sword plunged in.

In the midst of her blue rage, she felt a very faint power flowing through her entire body.

A power different from aura.

And she instinctively felt that this power was gradually and surely destroying Muriel, who wouldn’t die even when stabbed with a sword.

– Ability 〈Ugh, I Just Wanted to Live Quietly?〉 Remaining time: 00:01:13

Only a little over a minute left.

‘Even if I’m hit, I won’t let go until the end.’

Just like Lady Aizel had done.

Just as she hadn’t let go even as she died, she would do the same.

Muriel’s right hand, now looking like a blood clot due to the gathered energy, shot up.

Kwaang!

Muriel’s right hand struck its target.

But it wasn’t Ruatisha.

‘The floor?’

Ruatisha frowned, expecting an attack on herself.

She had thought it was her last resort, but she suddenly struck the floor?

At that moment.

From the floor Muriel had struck, crimson energy writhed chaotically and spread in all directions.

“……!”

A familiar yet unfamiliar sight.

It was like the red lines that had bound Sidrian’s body when he was under a curse.

But it was a much larger, thicker, more powerful, and more evil energy than before.

The writhing red lines climbed the floor and walls, expanding their domain.

“Keok, keulleok……!”

Muriel smiled, covered in blood.

“How is it? I never thought I’d have to use this, but I prepared it anyway.”

The quest text she had seen earlier flashed through Ruatisha’s mind.

A nasty evil energy is vibrating throughout this building!

It seems like someone has done some preliminary work.

‘Could it be?’

“Ha, haha. Don’t worry too much. You won’t die.”

Muriel said in a fading voice.

“You’ll probably want to die, though.”

A huge, blood-colored hole began to form in the air.

“I’m curious. When your family, whom you cherish so much, search for you and wander in despair for the rest of their lives, eventually tiring and dying.”

“You…….”

“What kind of expression will you make?”

Muriel vomited blood and chuckled.

“I won’t be able to see it, but that person…….”

Ruatisha ignored Muriel’s words and fired aura at the blood-colored hole.

She didn’t know exactly what it was, but she knew she couldn’t leave it alone.

But the aura didn’t even hit the hole and was absorbed straight into it.

“……?!”

“It’s useless. You can’t stop it.”

At that moment.

The perfectly formed circle suddenly swelled up.

As if opening its jaws.

And it swallowed Ruatisha whole.

“No!”

A sorrowful cry was heard from somewhere.

Ruatisha turned around.

But she couldn’t see anything.

Only a bright red space existed.

“Keuheok!”

Ruatisha suddenly vomited blood.

‘What is it?’

She hadn’t been attacked at all.

Yet, strength was draining from her entire body.

Ruatisha gripped her sword again.

But.

– Ability 〈Ugh, I Just Wanted to Live Quietly?〉 Remaining time: 00:00:01

– Ability 〈Ugh, I Just Wanted to Live Quietly?〉 Remaining time: 00:00:00

She couldn’t lift the greatsword that had been so light.

Ruatisha stared blankly at the notification window.

‘It’s over……?’

* * *

Sidrian ran out, biting his lip.

Before his eyes, Ruatisha’s figure was swallowed by the blood-red sphere and disappeared.

Crackle—!

An ice pillar shot up and pierced the sphere, but it was useless.

The sphere didn’t seem to be affected at all and remained motionless.

As if it had absorbed the ice pillar as it was.

“Too late.”

Muriel opened her mouth, sprawled on the floor.

“Long time no see.”

Sidrian didn’t answer. Instead, pure white ice flowers began to bloom all over Muriel’s body.

“Tell me.”

Muriel smiled, foaming with blood.

“Okay. Since it will make you more painful.”

She began to explain, as if delighted.

“Soon, Ruatisha Paeraton will fall into another world. Wherever that world is, it’s a place you can never reach.”

“…….”

“She’ll be torn apart by monsters that attack her relentlessly in a foreign world from which she can never return, and die alone…… Heok!”

Purple veins began to appear on Muriel’s neck and jaw at Sidrian’s touch.

Sidrian left the gagging Muriel and threw himself at the remaining blood-red sphere.

But.

Koo-eung!

Sidrian was violently thrown back from the sphere and crashed into the wall.

“Don’t, ha, worry. The gate only swallows one person. You won’t be going to that hellish world.”

She laughed, looking at his despairing purple eyes. As if she couldn’t be happier.

“Now that the transfer is complete, the gate will close. But at least you’ll have her last 모습 [moseup – appearance or figure in Korean] to remember, right?”
