Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 249
EP.249 Sore Finger
Shiati raised her head, frowning in pain and displeasure. The wounds sustained from being attacked by Maximilien, the dark magic that shatters her broken fingers, were steadily gnawing away at her.
In contrast, Historia stood straight and upright, looking down at Shiati. Even though Cheonjamsa entangled her and she couldn’t move her arms at all… But Historia was strong. both objectively and subjectively.
“What are you talking about.”
Historia glanced at Shiati’s fingers.
The right arm is prosthetic. Instead of the right hand that was cut off in the past, a solid piece of metal is filling the place. One left arm has a broken and twisted finger attached to it.
Judging by the appearance of her fingers, even that may soon disappear. Maybe… it won’t end with your fingers. Historia narrowed her eyes even more.
“Four fingers. We haven’t even reached the headquarters and there are only two left. The ring and middle fingers are hopeless now.”
“Huh so?”
“Xanthan has two feet. What if you use it all up? Are you going to spend your life next time?”
“There is nothing I can’t write.”
Shiati said he would come. It was sincere.
She was prepared to write the final curse. If confronted by Command and the people who ruined her life, Shiati would risk her own life without hesitation.
That resolution was real… but Historia denied that will at once.
“Take it away.”
“what?”
“It doesn’t work with black magic.”
Shiati, stunned, lifted her upper body. However, apart from her body that is honest with her feelings, her mouth does not immediately refute. This is because Siati herself feels it more than anyone else.
He broke two of his fingers against the disease. It didn’t yield any results. It only took a very small amount of time. Maximilien returned unharmed.
No, if she had only dragged out the disease with her fingers… it would have been an overflowing achievement.
Shiati treats their own lives as nothing if they can kill the enemy. it has been so far
But if you give your life and you can’t achieve anything. If you get your hands on a taboo and still can’t do anything.
“Even if it works, you can’t accomplish anything with two fingers. A gun that has run out of bullets is just a lump of metal. A black magician who lacks sacrifices is more powerless than an ordinary person.”
Shiati protested.
“…So instead of breaking my finger, tell me to just suck my finger? Stop talking nonsense! Then someone will break their arms instead?!”
“I will do it.”
“under?”
“I’m saying I’ll break it. Unlike you, regardless of the xanthan.”
Historia turned around without regret. Historia’s face turned to the princess, her body leaving Shiati alone.
The princess, who was suddenly drawn to the story, blinked her eyes. In front of her, the military general, proud of the military, approached with a sad expression.
“princess. I will formally ask you Instead of Shiati, I will be your gun.”
“yes?”
Shiati opened her eyes in anticipation of what Historia would say next. Historia was trying to deprive her of a reason to fight.
“I will fully cooperate with you and them. I will do my best to make what you want come true. Even if it is against the military.”
It is an unconventional proposal. One of the strongest military powers of the six generals was telling the princess that she would cooperate perfectly. The princess swallowed and asked.
“Of course you have demands, right? What do you want?”
Historia nodded and spoke cruelly decisively.
“Take Shiati out of the fight instead.”
“Historia!”
Historia, ignoring Shiati’s cries, continued her story on her own.
“I said that Shiati is your friend, princess. Then it’s your chance to protect your friends and boost your strength. I wouldn’t refuse if you were even a little calculated.”
“Don’t be presumptuous! Who are you, don’t fall for me!”
“I am the head of the Historia Department of Military Development. The youngest general and one who reached the point. A musketeer who handles a gun freely. It’s nothing compared to a black magician with only two bullets.”
Historia calmly recited her qualifications.
“Also, I have knowledge of Command. I don’t know who the informant you’re going to be contacting… but they probably know the structure of Command Center better than I do.”
Therefore, my strength will be more helpful than you alone. Historia sharply pointed out an inconvenient truth that is obvious but hard to bring out.
The fact that Shiati hesitated for a while was because she couldn’t bear to deny it.
‘If Historia becomes an ally, surely…’
The desire to immerse oneself in a shelter that is safe for a very short time arises. If a much more powerful being helps her than the powerless woman… Wouldn’t she be more efficient and effortless?
The moment my heart was about to weaken, a sense of rebellion reared its head.
If Tyr had made the same suggestion, Shiati would have been delighted and complied.
But the opponent was Historia. She, who once spent time with Shiati, is trying to save her with sympathy.
“I hope you will be a source of strength to the subject you are tied to!”
Historia did not verbally retort. She showed it in action.
“The condition to become a military general is to have learned Gam Qigong.”
wow wow
A creepy sound began to emanate from Historia’s body.
bones to joints. Muscles recede and tendons are pulled. As if someone invisible was roughly pulling on his shoulders, his waist bent and his shirt, which couldn’t keep up with the deformation of his body, swelled up as if it would tear.
But no one is behind her. All of these movements are her own.
Historia continued to speak calmly while twisting her body. As if this is not an obstacle at all.
“You have to learn winding to qualify to become a general. If you can blow air into your bones and muscles, your chances of survival will increase dramatically. The general is the one who leads the corps, so even if the sword breaks through the body and the rock crushes the body, he must survive and take care of them until the end.”
Historia’s arm snaps even more, and the bone briefly shifts out of place. Tuduk. The unbearable button was ripped off. It is a change so drastic that the sturdy clothing packet is broken.
Unlike Historia’s flexible body, the knot didn’t have that kind of flexibility.
“Huh.”
Historia let out a long breath and returned her shoulders to their original position. With nothing to tie, the thread of Cheonjam hangs under her arm. Historia, who didn’t untie the knot but threw it away, looked for a place to put it on and removed the cloth that was rolled up toward her chest.
“so that. Even black magic… isn’t very effective against generals. It’s all about inflicting minor injuries and controlling your actions.”
Historia wanted Cheonjam Temple and threw it at the owner. The regressor who snatched the flying Cheonjamsa clicked his tongue as if he knew that.
“…I expected it, but it’s easier than I thought. It’s pretty tight.”
The princess murmured as she looked at Historia, who had released her restraints alone.
“That must have been solved…”
“Of course. Straitjackets and ropes are meaningless to a 6th level strongman. It takes time to solve it at Cheonjam Temple, and I can respond in the meantime, so I tied it up.”
“I thought that’s what you like…”
“Huh? taste?”
“It’s fortunate… I don’t have that kind of potential… No, isn’t it time to relax yet…” ”
What? What are you talking about?”
Historia, noticing where the princess was directing her gaze, buttoned up her shirt with a slight blush on her face. Anyway, Historia, who freed herself after unraveling Cheonjamsa herself, proposed again.
“princess. The answer to my request?”
The princess straightened her attitude and answered.
“Uh hmm. Mr. Musketeer. Thanks for the suggestion.”
“but?”
Historia glared at the princess with an intimidating gaze at the faint sign of rejection. The princess swallowed her saliva at the terrifying force, but Historia’s aura did not threaten the princess, even if it overpowered her.
“As you said, I am a friend of Siati. I am not in a position to give orders unilaterally.”
“then? You say it doesn’t matter if Shiati dies?”
“No no. I didn’t say that!”
The princess hurriedly shook her head and responded quickly.
“If you want to help Shiati instead of Dae! Instead of cooperating with me, why don’t you stand by Siati and protect her? I have the ability to resist that attack…!”
“That means I hate it. It doesn’t matter if Shiati dies or the hand disappears altogether.”
“I don’t mean that! It’s just that I… Shiati has things more important than life, so I thought that would be better!”
“Okay. After all, Shiati is a horse that you can use as you please. Being afraid of someone not being a princess is the same as in a kingdom.”
The princess shut her mouth. If she really thought that, she wouldn’t have joined the front line, but she just lost her selfie and lacked the will to deny it.
“I do not need! Even if I die, I won’t be helped by something like you!”
Instead, Shiati shouted.
“You don’t see us as human beings until the end! It’s weak because it’s insignificant. I’m sure you won’t do anything! No one else abandoned the children of Hameln. A guy like you who regarded us as useless! It’s like killing them all!”
“Talk loudly. No matter what you say, I will save you on my own.”
“Like when I fell into the Hameln River? under! Are you so good that you only lifted corpses from the water? What did you save there?”
Shiati, who sneered at her, healed old wounds. It was mental black magic. Painful for each other, but more deadly for Historia than for the more worn out Shiati.
“…okay.”
Historia suffered for a moment, but it didn’t show beyond her face. Instead, she calmly turned her head.
“Like back then.”
Being behind the wheel, I sighed inwardly, keeping away from the conversation.
Neither of them are very sociable, but the conversation between the two is terribly idle. I would like to say that because there is sediment, but when you two sharpen your teeth, I get tired of being still.
“now. Everyone calm down. Anyway, it’s a good story on a national level…”
It was just when I was trying to lighten the mood. Historia turned her head away.
“So are you, Huey.”
“uh? me?”
“I get lost when fighting. take shiati Then I will fight for you.”
Historia was unstoppable. I said that with the intention of protecting Shiati and myself. I scratched my chin at the unexpected suggestion.
“Oh there. Leah. I am very grateful.”
It seems that something is seriously misunderstood. Don’t you know when you see me driving now? I’m not a fighter in the first place.
“Can’t I listen to you too?”
“…You want to die on your own like Shiati?”
“no? I have no intention of doing that. After all, I’m not a combatant in the first place. You don’t even go to a dangerous place from the beginning.”
‘…I don’t think so. Pretending to have good tact, but stepping into all the dangerous things.’
Historia looked at me suspiciously, but I had nothing to say. In fact, I was just caught up in each one.
“And you don’t have to worry too much. look.”
I raised my finger and pointed to the sky. After the day’s work, the sun was slowly getting ready to go to sleep. The oblique light gradually weakened and darkness filled the void.
“It’s getting dark.”
It is worthwhile to forcefully pull the automatic wagon and come on time. It is night now. It is a time when dangers often come.
But we have the nobility of the night on our side. Tonight will be a dangerous time only for the military.
