I Beca the Maid of the Lout Prince - Chapter 71 [An Altered Future (2)]
The King Serpent.
A large boss monster in the form of a giant cobra.
In front of its overwhelming terror, Ethan was sohow enduring while standing firmly on his two legs.
Still holding his sword, he maintained his tension while making eye contact with the monster in front of him.
His body was already exhausted, the other soldiers had long since collapsed, and his strength and mana were completely drained.
In this situation, Ethan couldn’t even gauge how long he could last alone against this huge monster.
He had already rolled on the ground several tis while narrowly dodging its attacks, so his body was accumulating quite a few injuries to match. [GalaxyTL/Axiomatic]
It wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed with the next attack due to a single careless mistake.
He no longer aid for victory. The only thing Ethan could do was stall for as much ti as possible.
Even though he knew there was no possibility of winning, Ethan stood up firmly on his two legs with his sword instead of sitting on the ground or running away.
The mont he fell, this huge monster would rush into the palace.
No, with this size, it might even break the palace itself.
The mont that happened, everyone else inside the palace would be in danger, and Lilith, who had been dragged to the masquerade ball because of his selfishness, would also be one of them.
For her sake, Ethan couldn’t collapse here.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
In this life-or-death situation, Ethan silently recalled Lilith’s face in his mind.
Her short black hair, round face, and really large breasts…
‘No, no, no…’
…Anyway, he recalled his exclusive maid, who was attractive in every way.
Of course, it wasn’t just Lilith’s beautiful appearance that made Ethan feel that she was special to him.
Her upright personality of not hesitating to sacrifice herself to protect others, her warm heart that always thought deeply and cared for him, and her attitude of not hesitating to give harsh words or shock therapy for his sake.
In many ways, Ethan felt considerable gratitude to her who had been by his side and assisted him for a long ti.
…He had been aware for quite so ti that he had co to harbor feelings for her that he shouldn’t have as an employer.
‘I can’t… haaaa… fall…. here.’
Gripping the hilt of his sword even tighter, Ethan took his stance once again.
He took his stance for the sake of protecting Lilith, who had already beco an irreplaceable person to him.
“ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!”
‘…Here it cos!’
The King Serpent bent its body again and rushed towards him with a loud scream.
Suppressing the instinct to dodge with all his might, Ethan watched its movents until the very end.
Just before it pounced on him, he twisted his body to the right and slightly raised his sword against the King Serpent.
Clang!
“ROOOAR!!!”
“Ugh…!”
The young master of the Blackwood family rolled on the ground once again, along with his sword that had grazed and bounced off the King Serpent’s left fang.
Although he hadn’t trained his swordsmanship for very long, the Blackwood swordsmanship he had learned from his father was certainly effective in many ways. [GalaxyTL/Axiomatic]
In addition, he squeezed out the last of his mana to wield body enhancent magic.
Above all, compared to the killing intent his father sincerely unleashed during practical training, the killing intent of the monster in front of him was barely tolerable, so Ethan was able to swing his sword at the right timing with maximum concentration.
Of course, physical strength was a separate issue, so he couldn’t avoid colliding with the monster and being thrown back as a result.
“Haa, haa, haa…”
The young Blackwood noble let out a tired sigh after rolling on the ground a couple of tis.
The King Serpent wasn’t a lenient opponent to allow him ti to recover.
The boss opened its huge maw again and rushed at Ethan, whose stance had crumbled.
“…!”
There wasn’t even ti to get up. If he did, that giant maw would swallow him whole before he could take a stance.
Hadn’t several of the guards defending the western gate already been swallowed whole by that giant maw?
But he couldn’t take a proper defensive stance with his posture crumbled, so there was only one way left for Ethan to deal with it.
Before long, a sword flew through the air from his hand.
Whoosh!
“ROOOAR!!!”
After throwing the sword in his hand with all his might into the monster’s mouth, he rolled his body once again to dodge the attack.
So might consider it a disgrace for a swordsman to throw away his sword, which was like his lifeline, and run away. However, Ethan’s father, Harold, always taught him one thing as the top priority.
If his life seed to be in danger, whether it was throwing away his sword or rolling on the ground, the most important teaching of his father was to survive first.
Ethan also struggled to the very end to buy as much ti as possible, following those words.
He succeeded in enduring a short ti of a dozen or so seconds more.
Gulp!
“ROOOOOOOOAR!!!”
Soon, the monster scread in pain after mistakenly swallowing Ethan’s sword and injuring the inside of its mouth.
Ethan thought it would be nice if it disappeared like this, startled by the pain, but the King Serpent showed no sign of backing down easily.
The monster spat out the sword in its mouth onto the ground and imdiately rushed towards Ethan, who was rolling on the ground and trying to run away.
It’s as if it held a grudge against him for causing it pain.
“HISSSSSSSSSSSSS!”
‘…Is this……………. the end…………?’
Ethan, who had sohow avoided one more attack by rolling on the ground with his tired body, was eventually blocked by a dead end.
In the first place, he didn’t even have an ounce of strength left in him to wriggle his body any further. [GalaxyTL/Axiomatic]
Naturally, his stamina had also reached its limit after facing the Level 10 boss monster alone for nearly 10 minutes.
If the previous battles were included, it ant he had been swinging his sword for almost an hour without rest.
‘…I should have learned the sword a little earlier.’
If he had been a little stronger, he might have been able to sohow block this monster with his own power.
Perhaps he wouldn’t have had to see his fellow soldiers collapsing and being swallowed.
If only he hadn’t wasted ti during his immature days, the situation would have been much better than now.
Just as he was about to quietly let his tired body rest, hoping that at least the others had safely evacuated.
“…Ethan!!!”
A longing voice reached his ears.
“…….Li….lith…?”
When he opened his eyes, thinking it might be her, the huge mouth of the King Serpent was approaching him.
Thinking it was indeed an auditory hallucination, he was about to give up and close his eyes again, when a strong impact sound struck his ears from close range.
Bam!
“…?!”
The mouth of the King Serpent that had just co to swallow him disappeared sowhere, and instead, what appeared before his eyes was sothing presud to be soone’s calf.
Ethan quietly recalled in his mind that it couldn’t be Lilith’s calf, but suddenly, two large objects approached in front of his eyes.
Seeing those unmistakable objects, he montarily felt his soul leaving his body.
“Ethan, are you okay?!”
“…”
“Oh my god, what injuries…! Don’t tell you were fighting the King Serpent alone until now?!”
“…”
At Lilith’s voice sincerely worrying about him, Ethan couldn’t bring himself to answer and only silently nodded.
It also played a part that his body was so exhausted that he couldn’t even give a short answer.
Even though he was facing Lilith, who was worrying about him as soon as they reunited, he was too ashad that his instincts had chased her breasts before her face.
In the midst of going back and forth between life and death, in the end, his gaze was drawn to his exclusive maid’s breasts.
The mont he felt that fact to be so embarrassing, he simply closed his eyes and silently apologized in his heart.
As soon as Seraphine and I arrived at the western gate, the first thing we naturally spotted was the King Serpent, presud to be the boss monster.
The huge monster, which was almost 30-40 ters in length, was obviously noticeable as soon as we opened the western gate of the palace and went out.
It was rushing towards soone with its mouth wide open.
“Ethan!!!”
As soon as I saw him lying on the ground in a miserable state where the monster’s mouth was heading, his na naturally flew out of my mouth.
To think that it really was Ethan who had been defending the western gate line of defense…
I had sowhat expected it after hearing that Agnes had gone to the eastern gate, but even so, I couldn’t help but feel my emotions rise when I actually faced him.
No matter how much of a relationship between a noble and an exclusive maid we had, he was soone I had been with the closest for several years. [GalaxyTL/Axiomatic]
Although my feelings towards him were close to indifference, even so, when you spend ti together, you naturally develop so affection.
At the very least, I didn’t want to see soone I had known for a long ti dying right in front of my eyes.
Seeing Ethan about to be pounced on by the monster at any mont, my heart naturally beca anxious.
Before I knew it, my mouth was urgently calling out to Seraphine, who was running while carrying .
“Princess!”
“Yes, I know!”
Answering and putting down on the ground at the sa ti, Seraphine ran towards the King Serpent.
The princess, with her golden hair shimring in the moonlight, leaped and struck the monster’s head from the upper right.
She sent the side of the King Serpent’s head, which was about to pounce on Ethan at any mont, flying to its left with a flashy kick.
Bam!
“ROOOOOOOOAR!!!”
The monster, unable to close its wide-open maw, tilted its body to the side along with its head.
Fortunately, the Moonlight Shadow Princess’ surprise attack was effective against the King Serpent, and we succeeded in sohow saving Ethan’s life before he was in danger.
I ran to Ethan soon after to check his condition first.
“Ethan, are you okay?!”
“…”
With his appearance, looking dazed as if his soul had left his body, he was unable to even make eye contact with .
Just how fierce of a battle did he fight? He didn’t just have one or two torn and bruised marks on his body.
If this was the extent of what was visible on the outside, how severe were the injuries he suffered underneath this thick suit?
As soon as I imagined the injuries that seed obvious without even checking, my mouth was spilling out worried words towards Ethan on its own.
“Oh my god, these injuries…! Don’t tell you were fighting the King Serpent alone until now?!”
“…”
Instead of answering, Ethan closed his eyes and quietly nodded his head.
Seeing that he didn’t even have the strength to utter words, just how grueling of a fight did he go through?
Just defending this front line up to this point, it was fair to say that Ethan had already done everything he could.
If it had been Agnes instead of Ethan in this position…
‘She definitely wouldn’t have lasted until now.’
It wasn’t about comparing who was stronger between Ethan and Agnes. Agnes’ magic attacks required a long casting ti, so she wouldn’t put up a good fight against the King Serpent.
Still, one thing was certain.
Ethan had put his all into fighting the King Serpent until the very end, buying ti for Seraphine to arrive at the western gate with .
So, it was my turn to reward Ethan for enduring until now. [GalaxyTL/Axiomatic]
“Rest, Ethan.”
“…”
“The princess and I will take care of the rest.”
“…What?”
I sohow let him know that the ti he had bought was never in vain.
The King Serpent reorganized its head that had flown off and rushed towards Seraphine and .
Princess Seraphine made eye contact with once and nodded.
Even without saying it, the plan was as good as decided. The Seraphine who had seen the future would match anyway.
It was ti to make the guy who had put our family’s kid in this state pay the price.
