I Was Summoned To Be Sold as a Son-in-Law - Chapter 60



60 – Vampire

Immediately pull out the dagger and run away while casting Body Strengthening.

At the same time, it creates an ice spear and searches for the target.

In the meantime, I glance at Betty’s condition out of the corner of my eye.

‘Thank God…’

His clothes were tattered, but fortunately he was not bleeding.

I turn my gaze again and discover a person believed to be an enemy ahead.

A man with reddish-brown skin standing 5 meters in front of Betty.

His irises were red as blood.

‘Demons?’

He knows a woman with a similar appearance to him.

That damn strong woman who kidnapped me.

The demons who made such a fuss just because they found one now have two.

‘I wonder what’s going on…’

As the distance from Betty decreased to 5 meters, an intangible energy flew towards me from her.

In an instant, I pushed my body strength to its limit and took a step back.

‘Living…’

She focused her attention on the demon in front of her, but did not allow the unidentified person to approach.

I opened my mouth quickly before the life came flying again.

“Betty, it’s me.”

“Eh…? Tom?”

Betty turned his head and looked at me with his blank eyes.

The time lasted less than two seconds.

-Tick tock.

I thought the world was turned upside down.

I was suddenly being hugged by Betty in a princess hug.

She snatched me at a speed that was invisible to her eyes and was moving away from the demon man.

It’s so fast that the food I ate comes up.

“Wow. Betty wait…”

Her running stopped after she ran into the group she was with.

I passed them by at least 50 meters, but Betty covered that distance in the blink of an eye.

The guards and Calia team looked at us in surprise.

A grown man being hugged like a princess by a woman who is only half his size.

It won’t be a very good thing.

“Hey… Betty, could you please put me down first?”

Betty put me down and said,

“Why did you come here…!”

She spoke in a low voice.

Then he looked at Nancy, the security chief who was nearby.

It wasn’t a particularly scary look, but I felt a subtle hint of anger from Betty.

“Well, princess… That’s not it…”

“Betty, calm down.”

I grabbed her shoulder and pointed in front of her with my finger.

The guy was approaching.

“I guess I’ll have to deal with that guy first.”

As I spoke calmly, the group all drew their weapons.

It was thanks to Betty’s presence that I was able to remain calm.

Anxiety was also present in my heart.

The person who made her clothes like this must have been a very powerful enemy.

“We must retreat first.”

And Betty gave an unexpected answer.

‘That much?’

As soon as Nancy heard those words, she made a quick decision.

“Everyone retreat!”

But as soon as the command was given, the body of the demon male who was leisurely chasing us evaporated.

Yes, there is no way to express it other than evaporation.

His body turned into a dark red mist and spread widely.

The fog instantly surrounded our group.

Everyone in the group who had just started walking had no choice but to stop.

“After a long time, fresh food came to us, so it’s a pity to send it away like this.”

Words are heard from the fog.

Betty tried to protect me with her back.

But since the fog surrounded us on all sides, it was not a very meaningful action.

The party swung their respective weapons into the fog.

But the fog is literally fog.

The weapon just cut through the air without meaning.

‘Physical attacks don’t work?’

Unlike the rest of the group, Betty did not attack with a weapon, but only made moves to protect me.

Before we came, he must have already known that the attack wouldn’t work because of the fight with that guy.

I understood why her clothes were in tatters.

I blew the ice spear I made earlier into the fog.

But that window was meaningless as it only briefly created a hole in the fog.

‘If you implement an ice spear and throw it, does it end up being a physical attack?’

“Kwaaak!”

At that time, I heard the scream of one of the guards.

The fog took the shape of a blade and cut her arm.

Even the cut area became dry, as if it had lost moisture.

An attack that immediately makes you give up your thoughts of trying to break through the increasingly narrowing cylindrical fog with a direct bullet.

‘The moment you touch the fog, you will dry out and die.’

The cylindrical fog now left only a two-meter gap between our group, who were standing in a circle with their backs to each other.

But the fog stopped there.

“Okay then. Let’s have some fun now, shall we?”

As soon as the demon finished speaking in a very calm, gentlemanly tone, countless blades similar to those that cut down the guard earlier rose from the fog.

‘This bastard… He plans to play with us.’

If they were just planning to kill us, they would have just tightened that cylinder all the way to stop us and kill us.

If you use that attack, everyone except Betty will die without being able to resist.

‘Is this because they are demons?’

Still, the guess that she would survive strangely calmed my heart.

Soon, its attack began.

-Chang! Visor!

Fortunately, even his attacks were not unblockable.

The fog in the shape of a sword had hardness and could be used for defense with a weapon.

As soon as I confirmed the fact, I took out the Wolf Magic Stone, held it in my hand, and cast a spell.

“Shield”

All the magic power of the magic stone was consumed and dozens of shields were struck in all directions of our group.

-Chang! Visor!

But there were too many of those fog swords, and their speed was beyond my imagination.

‘Where did such a monster come from…?’

My shields are all shattered in less than 5 seconds, and now the fog sword attacks our defenseless group.

Betty stood firmly in front of me and easily blocked all the attacks,

Although it looked difficult, Team Calia and Nancy barely managed to block it.

But ordinary guards could not do that.

“aaah!!”

“Ahh!”

They were unable to block even half of the fog sword’s attacks, and suffered countless stab wounds to their bodies.

‘Damn…What should I do…’

If we continue like this, it is only a matter of time before we are left helpless.

At that time,

“Hwatan!”

Witch Lishari fired a spell.

The fog hit by the small fireball crackled and burned, temporarily creating a hole.

It is clearly a different reaction than when cut with a knife.

‘Is there any damage?’

“Tom! It’s fire magic!”

Rishari shouted at me.

For a moment, Betty’s fierce gaze turned to Richari, but I tried to ignore it and focus.

Fireball is still an unstable magic to me. Moreover, since it is an explosive, wide-range spell, your colleagues will get involved.

Instead, I created a fire bomb similar to the one used by Rishari.

I poured all the remaining magic into the dagger and made the fire bullet as wide as possible.

“When I give the signal, everyone jump into the hole!”

Throws a fire bomb slightly larger than a human body into a wall of fog.

“Ugh…”

The demons of the fog let out a small moan.

The wall burned down, creating a temporary hole through which people could pass.

“Now!”

When I shouted, my companions escaped through the hole.

I saw everyone leaving and tried to go out, but just before I could go out, the hole in the fog was filled again.

Of course, Betty, who was waiting by my side until the end, was also there.

Just like that, only the two of us remained inside the wall of fog.

“Tom!”

Richari calls me from outside.

“Princess!”

Manager Nancy calling Betty from outside.

I thought it went well.

I came up with an attack method that I could use if it was just me and Betty.

“Retreat! Go to Viln and ask for reinforcements!”

I shouted without hesitation.

“But!”

Nancy hesitates.

It would be natural. Two high-ranking nobles he must protect.

That also means abandoning the two most important people in the kingdom.

I shout in a deliberately stern voice.

“Go quickly! You’re just a hindrance!”

It’s not something I would say as a fake sorcerer without even the slightest amount of magical power, but considering what was going to happen in the future, that cry was somewhat true.

“Ugh…”

Nancy, unable to say anything but drooling between her teeth, soon walked away with her companions.

The rest of the party didn’t say anything, but they all probably agreed.

If you look at pure magical power, the heroes and sorcerers are among the top 10 on the continent.

They are fully aware that they are actually a hindrance.

So I stepped down.

Of course, I am a fake, and I have less magical power than most commoners.

But with Betty, it’s a different story.

Once they were far enough away, I walked up to Betty and gave her a back hug.

Close your body so that it touches as much area as possible.

“Excuse me for a moment…”

Even though I was being rude without even saying a word, Betty actually leaned back against him.

And without saying anything, Betty entrusts all her magical powers to me.

A wave of magic like a tsunami that I haven’t felt in a long time.

I don’t know how this is possible, but I work hard to control Betty’s magical power.

“hehehehe, anyway, my original goal was only you. Those people wouldn’t suit me as a gourmet.”

The demons of the fog tightened the cylinder of the fog as they quenched their appetite.

“I will eat well.”

The demon bows to the upcoming banquet in a sinister voice.

At the same time, I finished preparing the magic.

“Don’t be a damn thing.”

I wrapped Betty and my body tightly with as many shields as possible and summoned a fire ball along with it.

“What?”

-Quaaang!!

Before he even opened his mouth, a fireball about 5 meters in diameter exploded right above him.
