Chapter 899
The problem was excessive exhaustion . Agnus’ fatigued body could only react reflexively . Slightly tearful, the expression on his face was distorted . The shaking of his pupils stopped, and his eyes became sharp and threatening . “What are you doing?”
Agnus knew the girl who was lifting him up . It was Euphemina . She was a meritorious retainer of the Overgeared Kingdom, and she had helped with Valhalla’s establishment . Agnus knew the rumor about how she was one of the people that Grid trusted most . Furthermore, wasn’t she aiming for Mumud? So, why was she helping Agnus?
“Acha!”
Duplicator Euphemina’ s strength stat was low enough to be comparable to a magician’s . This was one of the reasons why she rarely duplicated physical attack skills that required the use of a ‘weapon . ’ It was hard for her to support an adult male who weighed more than herself .
“Kuoong . ” Finally, Euphemina sat beside Agnus, who was leaning against a wall, and pulled out a handkerchief . “Why are you looking at me like that? What is it? Do you want to wipe off your sweat as well?”
“Get lost,” Agnus growled out . He wasn’t given the nickname of Mad Dog for nothing . Euphemina nervously put the handkerchief away as he asked again, “What do you want?”
“Are you an idiot? Why do you keep asking? Didn’t I tell you from the beginning? I will help you . ”
“ . . . Hah?” Agnus was dumbfounded . The failure condition of the ‘Mumud’s Desire for Liberation’ quest that popped up whenever Agnus saw Euphemina was for Agnus to be killed by Euphemina . In other words, Euphemina could clear her quest by killing Agnus . Yet she was helping Agnus instead of using this chance to kill him . Why?
“Why aren’t you killing me?”
“Well . . . It won’t be easy . Won’t it be hard to deal you with a mortal wound when you can use Lich Transformation and recover your stamina instantly?”
“You have the power to neutralize that short period of resistance . Tell me honestly . What are you up to?”
Agnus’ only ally had been his dead lover . The other people he had encountered over the years were all enemies . Consequently, it was natural for him to be suspicious of Euphemina, who was one of Grid’s closest people . Euphemina spoke with deliberately wide eyes, “Don’t you have any friends? Why do you keep doubting people’s good intentions? You should just accept it . ”
“Would you be able to if you were me?”
“Of course . You should rejoice at receiving the help of such a beautiful and pure woman . Doubting the goodwill of a beauty? Shouldn’t you be kind to a beauty like me?”
“A kid . . . ”
“Why are you calling me a big girl like me a kid?”
Euphemina was an adult woman in her early 20s . However, she was 150 centimeters tall and had a young appearance that made it believable she was still in middle school . As such, she had a bit of a complex about it and was sensitive to the word ‘kid . ’
“Big girl . . . ?” Agnus started to observe the agitated Euphemina from head to toe . No matter how he looked at her, she was a kid .
Euphemina’s face turned red . “I-I didn’t mean that type of big! It hasn’t grown yet, but I’m still an adult! I’m not a kid!”
“ . . . ” Agnus wondered how he ended up having this conversation with Grid’s friend . The situation was truly laughable . Agnus got up as his stamina had recovered . “Get lost . I'll spare you once,” Agnus spoke in a patronizing rather than thankful manner .
“Did you hear wrong because you weren’t sane before?” Euphemina threw him a temptation that was hard to resist . “Didn’t I tell you? I will help you craft the stone—the Stone of Life . ”
“What?”
“If you free Mumud . . . !?” Euphemina didn’t finish her words didn’t finish though . The spot where she stood was suddenly swept away by an explosion . It was a huge explosion which devastated the 10 houses around the narrow alley . Euphemina’s small body disappeared without a trace .
“ . . . I’ve found you . ”
This was the capital of the Murray Kingdom, Juden . Agnus was identified as the murderer of the accessory maker Catherine and had already defeated several Juden guards . He had to escape from Juden as soon as possible, but he took too long and got caught .
“Capture him!” The magicians had hit Euphemina with magic while the knights flocked around Agnus . Hundreds of soldiers could be seen behind them . The average level of the knights and soldiers was high . It wasn’t a power that a player could go against alone . Of course, this was a story for a normal player .
“Kikik . . . Numbers are useless in front of me . ” Agnus stepped forward, causing the ground to shake and for skeleton soldiers to emerge .
“Eh? Ughh!”
“Stop!”
The approaching soldiers witnessed the skeletons wielding swords and paled . Many of them would’ve been killed without the help of the knights and magicians .
“An evil necromancer!” One of the knights shouted . From the knight’s perspective, Agnus had suddenly invaded the capital and murdered civilians and guards, so he was definitely a bad person . The knight was filled with a deep grudge . Agnus started making undead from the corpses of the soldiers, and the young knights failed to reach him . Surrounded by skeleton soldiers, Agnus seemed like an impregnable fortress . In reality, he was an old fortress .
“Kik! Kikikik!”
Due to the successive chases, Agnus’ resources were at their limit . He was lacking in stamina and mana, which meant that various spells couldn’t be used . His important spells were also cooling down . The skeletons crumbled quickly due to the magicians’ spells . As the number of skeleton soldiers decreased, the Murray Kingdom’s soldiers and knights stabbed Agnus with their spears and swords .
“ . . . Kik!” Pain and fear stimulated Agnus’ frontal lobe . The painful memories of reality disappeared, leading him to feel pleasure . The smile on Agnus’ face widened as he was stabbed by spears and shields . Agnus, who had been nervous and weakened as his reunion with his old lover neared, regained his true nature of a mad dog .
“Keeok!”
“T-This monster . . . Kuaaack!”
“Kahahahat! Hat?”
He believed in the Lich Transformation . Yet while Agnus was breaking into the enemy and killing them, he suddenly collapsed . It was due to the sword that fell from the sky and pierced his shoulder . The long and sharp sword penetrated Agnus’ shoulder and chest .
