Symphony for the Insect Princess

"Not so good……"

"What's wrong?"

"She was obviously a good child when she was in the City Lord's Mansion."

"Are you saying there's a hidden reason why she suddenly became like this?"

"I guess so?"

"Anyway, someone go check on her. We don't even know if she's dead or alive."

"You go ahead."

"Go quickly."

"That's not fair, let's play rock-paper-scissors."

"Alright."

““Rock-Paper-Scissors!””

"you lose."

"The person who suggested the rock-paper-scissors game actually lost."

"It doesn't count! Best of three!"

““Rock-Paper-Scissors!””

"Three losses in a row."

“………………I’ll just go for it.”

Sedroon put away his flaming sword and approached cautiously. He first circled around Qiumila, then slowly walked to her side, kicked her twice with his toes, and then turned her over.

"..."

What comes into view is a very innocent and cute sleeping face, but the blood from the nose is a real spoiler.

"……I see."

Sedroon lifted up Qimila's left arm and pointed at a conspicuous bloody hole at the wrist.

"It seems something pierced her left wrist earlier, causing her to lose a lot of blood. An ordinary person would have gone into shock or even died long ago, but the execution magic strengthened her body, so she didn't collapse until now."

"...Wouldn't that be bad? If we leave her like this, she'll die soon, right?"

"Nonsense, of course I have to kill her, or else I'll be torn into pieces by her?"

"But don't you think she's weird? Like she's being controlled by something."

"Tsk...Okay, okay, let's treat her for now, but we have to tie her up tightly first."

"Come to think of it, you two, haven't you noticed yet?" Asia suddenly interrupted.

“What’s wrong again?”

"It's better to act quickly. After all this delay, the insect swarm is... almost here."

"Insect Tide!?"

Chapter 85 Ghost Father

Back to a while ago——

City Lord's Mansion, top floor, near the City Lord's room...

“Cough… cough… tsk!”

Saenris shook his head to drive away the hazy feeling of dizziness. Even though he was furious, there was still a little fear in his heart.

Some of the drug Luna had given him during the kiss, as well as the poison released during the explosion, had indeed entered Saenris's body, but he didn't pay much attention to it. A great war spirit's physical strength was at the peak of human strength, making it difficult for poison to take effect. Even if it did, they could use their powerful magic to directly exorcise the poison and their powerful recovery ability to heal their bodies.

But this toxicity was completely beyond his expectations. Even though he had suppressed it with magic power, waves of dizziness continued to hit his brain, distracting him.

Bang! ! ! ! !

——But it is still very easy to dodge such an attack.

There was an explosion behind him and the strong wind blew his clothes, but he didn't care at all.

His attention was completely focused on the girl in front of him.

"Elsa..."

The voice was trembling, like the voice of a loser betrayed by the whole world, filled with unspeakable sorrow and madness.

“…Why…why do this!?”

Aisia, holding an Uzi (modified) in one hand and a flashbang (modified) in the other, looked at him coldly and asked, "Where is Nairis?"

"Why...why...why...I have poured all my love into you...what on earth has made you unhappy...what on earth have I done wrong..."

"Don't talk nonsense, my Lord 'Father', where is Naerys?"

"Nairis...Nairis...that maid? She's just a dispensable piece of trash. Why do you care so much about her?"

"Dispensable garbage" - the moment she heard this, Asia frowned suddenly, and her finger on the trigger was about to pull it, but she held back.

"Never mind that maid... Tell me, Aisha... What went wrong... Why did you do this to me? Are you going to kill me? You want to kill me? Just for a mere maid!?"

"There are many reasons to kill someone, serious, ridiculous, all sorts of reasons. Sometimes, there's even no reason at all... But, there's really no need for me to kill you. Ultimately, I don't care whether you're alive or dead."

"... Too lazy to care?"

Saenris' eyes widened.

Only then did he realize.

Aisia did not regard him as "special".

She just wanted to find out from him the whereabouts of the person she was looking for.

In other words, to her, I am no different from a passerby who asks for directions, so she said "I don't care whether I'm alive or dead", because as long as I can honestly reveal the information, it will be fine.

The moment he realized it, a nameless anger rose in his heart.

But Aisia's next words put out the fire.

"By the way, you just asked, 'What did I do wrong?' Right? I can tell you..."

Asia narrowed her eyes.

"Everything went wrong from the day my mother, or your wife, died."

"——!?"

"The Sage of All Skills has always had a bad reputation. Even though you were so heartbroken, you begged him, who happened to be stopping by Kasolu, to use the wisdom and skills of a top-level alchemist to break the taboo and use the cells of your deceased wife as a medium to create a human body—"

"shut up!!!"

Saenris roared and rushed forward, showing the speed of the great war spirit. His eagle-claw-like hand instantly grabbed Aisia's collar!

But Aisia still smiled sarcastically and spoke slowly.

"Just now... you were the one asking me what I did wrong... but didn't I tell you? You were wrong from the start... Human transmutation has always been considered taboo by most schools of thought, and whether alchemically created 'people' can even be called 'people' is also controversial... 'Father,' who has no blood relationship with me, do you really think you can recreate your wife this way? Do you really think the dead can be resurrected? Do you really think I can replace her?"

"you…………"

"Well, after all that beating around the bush, putting aside the bitterness and hatred of losing your wife, you—"

Asia's smile grew wider.

"He's just a bastard dad who wants to have sex with his own daughter, right?"

"------"

That moment.

There seemed to be a sound of something breaking in Saenris's head.

At the same time, Asia threw the flash grenade in her hand at his face.

Paji——

----------------

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, guards were running around.

Just now, a big commotion broke out in the City Lord's Mansion. A large number of guards were killed. Wherever the murderer went, there was blood and incomplete bodies. Even the door of the dungeon was blown open.

But since the murderer left no one alive and the barrier had been secretly destroyed long ago, no one knows who did it until now.

The most important thing is that at this critical moment, the guard captain Flynn disappeared, Saenris was also missing, and the lady and the eldest daughter who should have been protected first could not be contacted. All the team members were in a state of disarray.

Among the chaotic crowd, two guards walked against the flow towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Hey! Mal, Polo! What are you fishing for?"

A team leader noticed it and immediately stopped the two men. The two men turned around with slightly stiff movements and saluted.

"Report to Captain Simon, we are guarding the gate in the name of Captain Jack."

"Same as above."

"Guarding the gate? There are already two teams stationed there."

"But that's what he asked for."

"What... then you guys—huh?"

The team leader was suddenly stunned. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the two of them again, but didn't see anything strange.

"What's the matter, Captain Simon?"

"No...I...I feel strange..."

At that moment, it seemed as if I saw tiny tentacles swishing through their eyeballs? Was it dazzlement?

But look at these two people...

Mal and Polo are still very young and usually the most energetic, but now their expressions are a bit dull, and their eyes are lifeless. It seems a bit...

boom! ! ! ! ! ! !

At this moment, a sudden loud noise from behind attracted everyone's attention. The loud noises came one after another, from above to below, getting closer and closer.

“——Here it comes!!!”

Someone shouted, and everyone dove for cover. Those who were slower were swept away by the powerful gust of wind, their fate unknown! At that moment, the first-floor ceiling collapsed, and a torrent of rubble, carrying two figures with it, fell from the upper floor. The speed was so great that everyone could only see two blurry shadows falling from above, then immediately smashing through the ground to the lower level!

----------------

boom! ! !

Smashed through the top floor.

boom! ! !

Sixth floor.

boom! ! !

Fifth floor.

boom! boom! boom! boom! ! !

Fourth floor, third floor, second floor, first floor.

boom! ! !

Next is the underground storage room.
