N-A-A Chapter 139 The Fairy Tale Witch
Chapter 139 The Fairy Tale Witch
Ocean of Dimensions
"Hmm!"
In the raging void, dark lightning followed like a shadow, relentlessly striking Arthur's body.
That represents the "annihilation" of the world's will, a power of law powerful enough to obliterate any legendary hero.
Even after leaving that world, the residual power of judgment, caused by the "rejection reaction," continued to wreak havoc on his body.
"That's really... domineering..."
As Arthur plummeted into the void, he coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs. His consciousness began to blur, and his body was on the verge of collapse.
At that critical moment of life and death, the dragon power within his body surged wildly.
The Dragon's Heart sensed its host's impending destruction and forcefully overcame Arthur's will, triggering the highest level of self-protection mechanism.
"Thump!!!"
My heart began to pump with unprecedented ferocity.
In order to resist this concept of annihilation, the furnace core instantly drained all the magic power from Arthur's body.
But this is not enough.
He could feel it in Arthur's gradually blurring pupils.
The magical circuits deep within one's own brain, even the memory blocks that maintain "self-awareness" and "past experiences"...
At this moment, they were all mercilessly ignited by the heart of the furnace and turned into fuel.
Those images of Camelot in the morning light, Morgan's soft humming, Aegon's smiling face, Merry's... even the scene of him pulling the sword from the stone...
All of them... were burned to ashes, bit by bit.
"Everyone... wait for me..."
His mind went completely blank.
Enveloped in a thick shield of dragon power formed from burning memories and magic, his body floated in dimensional space, heading towards an unknown world.
……
Late night in Misaki Town.
A place shrouded in mystery and tranquility.
This sacred land is enveloped by ancient barriers, like a cradle sleeping on the edge of modern civilization.
However, this tranquility, which had lasted for decades, was brutally shattered tonight.
"Boom!"
A meteor streaked with dark lightning and dazzling starlight crashed through the highest barrier in the deep mountains of Misaki Town with an unreasonable force.
It then crashed deep into the dense forest.
……
Inside the Kuonji Western-style building, located on a hill.
Kuonji Yuzu, who had been quietly reading in the living room, closed the heavy book of magic.
A rare look of astonishment and coldness flashed across her face, which was usually as expressionless as a delicate doll.
As the manager of this land, she clearly sensed the abnormality.
The defensive barrier he had set up on the outskirts of the deep mountains, strong enough to withstand the bombardment of a great magic spell, was instantly smashed into powder by some kind of completely unreasonable mass.
"Go and see who it is, and grab him."
His dark eyes held a coldness.
She tossed a strange bell from her sleeve, and the fairytale monster transformed into a huge, twisted black shadow, rushing towards the deep mountains.
She herself donned a black cloak and blended into the night.
The air deep in the mountains is filled with the smell of scorched earth and ozone.
When Yu-ju landed silently on the edge of the huge crater created by the impact, her pupils focused instantly.
The scene before her was completely beyond her common sense as a witch.
In the center of the crater, there were no stones, no aircraft wreckage, only the body of a naked blond man.
There were still traces of flickering black lightning on the man's body.
In the perception of beads.
The lightning emanated a terrifying aura that seemed capable of obliterating the entire world, tearing at the man's skin.
However, a thunderous roar, like a war drum, resounded from within the man's body.
Those fatal wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, ultimately leaving not a single scar.
Not only that, the fairytale monster she had just sent out, known for its ferocity, was now trembling and lying on the edge of the pit.
"What...is this thing?"
Hidden in the shadows, Yuzhu suddenly held her breath.
Because she saw it!
With each breath the man took, a faint, visible light condensed in the air.
That is true ether, which has long since disappeared in modern society!
This is a mythical monster disguised in human skin!
Just as Yuzhu was weighing whether she should flee immediately or try to eliminate him, the man at the bottom of the pit opened his eyes.
Those were a pair of clear, emerald-green eyes, which shone brightly and dazzlingly against the backdrop of the night.
There was no murderous intent, no wariness, and no fear of the unfamiliar environment in those eyes, only a very pure... bewilderment?
"here it is……?"
The man's voice was somewhat hoarse.
He slowly sat up, looked at his naked body, then raised his head and accurately met Youzhu's gaze, who was standing at the edge of the pit and hidden in the darkness.
"Who are you?"
Faced with the humanoid creature's question, Yuzhu did not back down. She maintained her witch's pride and coldness, looking down at him condescendingly:
"Shouldn't a madman who smashes down someone's door and forcibly breaks in give his name before questioning the homeowner?"
The man paused for a moment.
He rubbed his forehead, trying to remember something, but no memory remained in his mind.
No, it seems that something has been left behind.
A man, relying on some kind of bodily instinct, naturally bends one leg.
In a posture that, though naked, was strangely devoid of any lewdness and instead brimming with classical artistic beauty, it concealed a certain vital part of the body.
Then, he gave the girl in black at the edge of the pit an apologetic smile:
"So... this mess was caused by me? Beautiful lady, although I would love to answer your question, I can't seem to remember anything..."
I will compensate for the damage caused here; however, it seems rather impolite of me to speak to you in my current manner.
Yuzhu's usually expressionless face suddenly twitched violently at the corner of her eye, and she slightly shifted her gaze away.
A strange man, exuding divine pressure and having withstood unknown lightning, spoke in an ancient and elegant aristocratic tone...
Were we seriously discussing "etiquette"?
Is this the time to discuss this kind of thing?
"This monster's brain must have been damaged during the fall."
After a brief silence, Yuzhu's rationality quickly prevailed.
Is it genuine amnesia or is it feigned?
But given his abilities, there's no need for him to pretend...
Moreover, this mythical monster radiating true ether must never be left out indiscriminately!
If we let him wander around outside freely...
The Holy Church and the Magic Association will definitely swarm in like sharks smelling blood, completely turning Misaki Town upside down.
Her peaceful life will definitely be over by then!
Moreover, as a pure witch, facing a suddenly appearing "divine specimen"...
The greed and thirst for exploration ingrained in her body made her utterly unable to resist this fatal temptation.
"Even the name was smashed? Fine."
Yuzhu spoke coldly:
"You destroyed the most precious magical barrier in my mountains and forests. Since you have forgotten who you are and have nothing, then you shall make amends with yourself."
She raised her hand, and magic emanated from her fingertips.
A shadowy mass around him was instantly solidified into a large, jet-black cloak by the "weaving of fairy tales," which fell beside the man.
"Put it on."
Yu-joo watched as the man neatly draped the cloak over his shoulders, concealing his almost perfect physique.
Then, she boldly walked down the edge of the pit and stopped just a step away from Arthur.
"Verbal promises are meaningless to magicians."
Yuzhu extended her fair fingers and fearlessly pressed them onto the back of Arthur's right hand.
"If you are truly willing to compensate, then accept this mark. From today onwards, you are the servant and property of the Kuonji Mansion."
In exchange, I will provide you with shelter and daily necessities; if you dare disobey... I will turn you into nourishment in a fairy tale.
The man looked at the indifferent-looking girl in front of him, and his intuition told him... there was nothing to worry about?
Therefore, faced with this extremely unreasonable, even exploitative, declaration of enslavement, the man nodded seriously.
Those clear eyes were filled with a sense of responsibility that seemed only natural.
He obediently released the resistance of the magical circuits within his body, allowing Yuju to do as she pleased:
"Of course, since I have damaged your things, I will serve you until this debt is paid off."
Accompanied by a faint blue light, a complex circle of "Fairy Tale Contract" markings, resembling black thorns, was deeply imprinted on the back of Arthur's hand.
The contract was signed.
However, Yuzhu's complexion did not relax; instead, it became even paler.
As the spellcaster, she could clearly sense it.
The moment this "master-slave contract" was connected to the man's body, it was like trying to tie a sleeping dragon with a fragile spider silk.
The contract was established and took effect not because of how skillful her magic was.
Simply because of this "dragon," he was willing to be led astray by this spider's web...
If the other party harbors even the slightest thought of resistance, the contract will be instantly shattered by that terrifying torrent of magic.
"What kind of monster did I just pick up?"
Yuzhu calmly withdrew her slightly trembling fingers and hid them in her wide sleeves.
"Keep up."
She turned around, said no more, and walked straight toward the Western-style mansion outside the deep mountains.
Behind her, the man draped in a black shadow cloak and who had lost his memory meekly followed the witch's back.
