Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 291

Crescentio stared at the collapsed wall with disbelief.

The heavy, thick stone wall had crumbled like an ancient ruin.

A small but stronger-than-anything shadow stood tall—

“Cough, cough! Seriously! What kind of building is this, so shabby!”

—waving her hand and spitting out a curse… no, standard Korean.

“……”

“Aish! [A Korean expression of frustration, similar to ‘darn’ or ‘shoot!’]”

As the thick dust settled, Ruatisha’s face came into view in the hazy sight.

Ruatisha looked at Shuriel, who was staring at her with a bewildered expression, and gave a crooked smile.

“Guess that’s what happens when you build with the money of those pseudo bastards who backstab others.”

“……Ruatisha.”

“Or maybe it’s because the building owner’s personality is so terrible.”

“How did you get here?”

“Why are you asking something so obvious? There’s always someone who flies higher than the one who runs, right?”

“……”

“And you always try to pull some tricks and get beaten by me. It’s just like that today.”

“You’re still arrogant and only know yourself. Is that how your father taught you?”

“Yep.”

Ruatisha nodded confidently.

“My dad said excessive humility is poison, so don’t be shy and admit the truth as it is.”

“Ha!”

“And.”

Ruatisha grinned and pointed at Shuriel with the tip of her sword.

“You’re not someone I need to be humble with.”

“……”

“Courtesy is for people.”

Ruatisha winked, blinking one eye.

It was then.

“Get out of the way!”

With Crescentio’s warning, bright red evil energy burst out from Shuriel in several directions.

Tatt!

Ruatisha, as if expecting it, lightly jumped back and dodged the energy.

But that wasn’t the end.

The evil energy twisted like living tentacles, rushing towards Ruatisha.

All the ends were sharpened to a point, looking as if they would pierce through her delicate skin the moment they touched.

Ruatisha deliberately retreated towards the wall, trying to guide them, but the evil energy flexibly changed direction before hitting the wall.

‘……I thought at least one or two would hit the wall. It’s quite persistent.’

The moment she stepped up to avoid the evil energy, the speed of the following energy slowed down.

Using the difficulty of changing direction in mid-air to attack with a time difference!

It felt as if the bright red evil energy would pierce Ruatisha’s neck, stomach, and thighs.

At that moment.

Ruatisha’s body moved fluidly.

Turning her body in mid-air, she tightly gripped her sword.

Jet-black aura flowed along the blade of the greatsword.

The red evil energy and the jet-black aura collided simultaneously.

Clang!

Bang! Bang! Clang!

Despite being a clash of energies, a roar echoed as if metal was striking metal.

The black aura completely repelled the evil energy and did not subside even after.

No, it burned even stronger than before.

As if to completely cover the red evil energy with darkness.

“……”

Shuriel was somewhat surprised by Ruatisha’s unexpected martial prowess.

She moved much faster and more flexibly than expected.

Movements like someone who had been holding a sword their whole life.

‘And after colliding with the evil energy, the aura didn’t weaken but became stronger!’

Of course, aura cannot purify evil energy.

It was a battle of pure strength, and she still had energy left after offsetting the evil energy.

‘Such overwhelmingly strong power.’

But.

‘Why isn’t she using the power of dispelling evil? That would be more—’

Something caught Shuriel’s narrowing eyes.

Ruatisha, standing far away, was pulling her sword back with all her might.

“……?”

There’s nothing there, so why suddenly?

Bang!

The debris of the stone wall, hit by the broad greatsword, flew towards Shuriel like bullets.

“You brute!”

Shuriel screamed and stepped back.

But again, debris from another stone wall flew towards where she retreated.

Thud!

Ruatisha didn’t even check if the collapsed stone wall hit Shuriel and just threw another one.

Clang! Thud! Thump!

“Crazy! What is this……! Stop it!”

Shuriel was horrified by the Sword Master’s elegant yet brutal swordsmanship.

The evil energy wrapped around the flying stone wall and stopped it in mid-air, but Ruatisha didn’t care.

She didn’t throw it thinking it would be an effective hit in the first place.

The important thing was not to give Shuriel time to think.

‘……The evil energy is much stronger.’

It was completely different from when she faced Muriel before.

Above all, this place was full of evil energy.

It was no different from walking into the enemy’s mouth with her own feet.

Shuriel could devour Ruatisha, who had entered her mouth, at any time.

‘Then—’

Ruatisha gripped her sword tightly.

Jet-black aura crawled up the greatsword, which was as big as her body.

The blade vibrated and the tightly gripped hilt creaked from the highly concentrated power.

If it were a normal sword, it would have broken under that force.

‘I’ll tear that mouth so she can’t chew!’

Kwaaaaaang—!

A deafening explosion echoed.

Jet-black aura surged like a tsunami, covering the space.

With Ruatisha’s swing, the wall collapsed and the evil energy flowing along the wall was shattered.

‘Crazy!’

Shuriel was horrified.

Was this possible?

To suppress that dense evil energy with force!

But it wasn’t the time to judge whether it was possible or not.

Swaeeeeek—!

The black greatsword was rushing towards Shuriel’s nape.

Clang!

Shuriel’s right hand, stained with blood-red evil energy, blocked the blade.

“……Ugh!”

Even though it was thickly wrapped in evil energy, the impact was so great that her wrist throbbed.

But there was no time to pay attention to that.

The coolly sunken paraiba-colored eyes were filled with intense murderous intent.

Ruatisha’s upper body was pulled back with all her might.

‘It’s coming.’

Shuriel pulled the evil energy scattered around her towards herself.

A blood-red curtain was thickly drawn in front of her, and the wriggling evil energy, like several divided tails, wrapped around her surroundings.

But.

What Ruatisha was aiming for wasn’t Shuriel.

Her body, which had stepped forward fiercely enough to dent the floor, shot forward.

‘……Behind?’

Thud—.

And the wall behind Shuriel flew away.

It was the very wall where Crescentio had been trapped.

She attacked, taking advantage of the gap where the magic had weakened because the evil energy was concentrated on Shuriel.

Crescentio groaned and got up from the collapsed building debris.

“You’re using quite a crude method.”

“You’re so talkative even though I saved you. Ah, don’t shake your wings. You’re making dust fly.”

“……”

Crescentio neatly folded his wings.

Although she was joking, Ruatisha’s gaze was lowered.

‘……The evil energy that wraps around his body remains intact.’

Bright red evil energy was wriggling and pressing down on Crescentio’s entire body.

His pure white wings were twisted and broken.

“Cough……!”

“Unlike demons, evil energy is fatal to celestials when it seeps inside.”

“You think you can do anything to me with this……!”

Crescentio couldn’t finish his sentence.

Blood that had turned crimson flowed down his mouth.

‘Damn it!’

Ruatisha hurriedly reached out towards Crescentio.

A different energy from aura.

The power of dispelling evil, which only Ruatisha could use, emanated from her.

The evil energy that filled Crescentio’s body began to be purified little by little.

Ruatisha gritted her teeth.

“Kugh…….”

She knew it, but purifying this much evil energy was difficult.

Sweat beaded on Ruatisha’s forehead.

Shuriel smiled at the sight.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Ruatisha!!”

At Crescentio’s cry, bright red evil energy soared behind Ruatisha.

Like a viper with its bright red mouth wide open.

Ruatisha couldn’t react immediately because she was using the power of dispelling evil.

It felt as if her small body would be bitten by the blood-red evil energy any moment.

It was then.

“You think such cheap tricks will work, tweet!”

A loud shout echoed in the air.

Wings the size of outstretched fingers!

A plump chest!

The long-tailed tit [a small, fluffy bird] revealed its dignified appearance.

“A spirit……?”

Ruatisha smiled at the surprised Shuriel.

Ruatisha wasn’t following Crescentio around all the time, so how would she know how the two of them made contact and followed them?

‘Of course, it’s thanks to our Hermes-tweet who kept watch.’

Hermes-tweet soared majestically, surveying the surroundings.

The magic circle was completed along the path created by the spirit.

Thud!

The giant magic circle blocked the evil energy as it was.

But only for a moment, cracks began to form in the magic circle with a cracking sound.

But that was enough.

Because Ruatisha’s greatsword began to counter the evil energy as it was.

‘Just a little.’

Ruatisha concentrated.

‘Let’s mix it just a little. Just a little bit of the power of dispelling evil. Within a limit that won’t strain me.’

She could do it.

A mysterious power began to dwell in the jet-black aura, little by little.

It was different from before when she was just pushing it away with force.

The evil energy that had clashed began to be purified little by little.

“Where do you think you’re……!”

Shuriel pulled up the evil energy even stronger.

It was at that moment.

“Ugh?!”

Blood flowed down Shuriel’s nose.

Shuriel, flustered, wiped the tip of her nose.

“This is…….”

Shuriel stopped moving for a moment, looking down at the blood smeared on her palm.

The next moment, when she raised her head.

“It seems like this is the end. The fusion isn’t complete yet, you see.”

Somehow the atmosphere had changed. No, what had changed wasn’t just the atmosphere.

Bright yellow eyes.

Ruatisha immediately recognized whose eyes they were.

Because she had already guessed it.

“Liliel……!”

At Ruatisha’s cry, Shuriel—no, Liliel smiled brightly.

“Long time no see, Lulu.”

“So you were alive.”

“Thanks to you. Did you expect it? You don’t seem very surprised.”

Ruatisha spat on her hand.

And gripped the hilt of her sword tightly.

It felt good to have it stick to her hand so well.

“You came out just in time.”

She had deliberately saved the power of dispelling evil in preparation for an emergency.

If she used the power of dispelling evil, it would be physically and mentally exhausting.

“I was so disappointed when I heard that you were just executed while I was unconscious.”

Ruatisha casually slung her sword behind her shoulder.

“Let’s start by getting hit a bit.”
