The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire - Chapter 202
202 – Final Battle (1)
At that time, man-eating vines and plants were sprouting from the ground and eating people. Hans quickly made a decision in his head. If you step back further, there will be no answer.
Hans is the only option in this chaotic situation. That was to turn back time. The golden light that flowed from Hans’ hand immediately swept everything around.
Eventually, time goes back again. Not the time when the vines ate the soldiers. Long before that. Those who returned to normal did not understand what was going on.
Looking at the soldiers and knights who had returned safely, Hans shouted at them to run away with all their might. Only then did they recall the memory of being eaten. Those who become contemplative and run away.
On the contrary, Hans was rushing towards the castle. If you retreat here, there will be no answer. His troops pull back and infiltrate with a small number of elites. Hans thought that was the most efficient.
But Hans was not the only one who made that judgment. Before I knew it, the members who followed him and the head of Banjo, Revil, were next to Hans. Revil said with a helpless smile.
“Is that the phenomenon you just caused?”
“It’s similar.”
“That’s surprising. I really thought you were dead.”
The vine’s attack was so fast and powerful that even Revil, the leader of the banjo, could not react. Of course, it is not at a level that ordinary soldiers or knights can respond to. There are only more victims.
Did he notice the soldiers retreating? Vines began to rise much faster than before. However, thanks to preparations made in advance, the damage was much less than before.
At least there were no casualties. Instead, mostly vines started coming towards Hans and his group. But this time, the members, including Revil, responded quickly.
It was just a surprise attack earlier. If you know in advance, you can respond to some extent. However, if you keep dealing with them without end, you will eventually be pushed aside.
At least I arrived at the castle before I collapsed from exhaustion. The vines no longer followed. As if afraid of something. There was a feeling that they never came close to the royal palace.
“Are you relieved that you’ve come this far?”
“No, you can’t let down your guard.”
“This is the den of demons.”
Although I’m not using those vines myself. Her queen is here now, taking it under her own influence. What is she doing alone in the almost completely collapsed royal palace?
“Reville, do you remember anything?”
“Unfortunately, there is none. I just know that it has that much power.”
“Is that why the demons tore them all down?”
From noble mtl dot come
“Yes, and the end is something I must come to terms with.”
Revil spoke firmly. From the days of Kohlhege until now, Revil has acted only for Her Majesty. And it’s still the same now. That’s what gives the Queen her rest.
“But I can’t see any monsters.”
“There might be a few true birds.”
“Could this have all been a bait?”
Among the true ancestors, very few people were still alive. This is because they retreated immediately after Zaiha died. Thanks to this, there were only monsters and a few blood ancestors, so I was able to push them away so easily.
But what if it’s all a trap? What if this is actually what the queen was aiming for? Hans swallowed dryly. Even if that’s true, it can’t be helped. There is no choice but to move forward… … .
“Hans, there’s something ahead.”
“Lua? Can you feel something in front of you?”
“Yes. I can feel it. Something sinister.”
Lua, who until now had not been able to properly approach Hans due to the members’ control, took advantage of the opportunity and hugged Hans. Of course, the members turned on their eyes and glared at Lua.
Because of the situation right now, I couldn’t say anything. Hans emphasized to the members that protecting their own safety was the top priority. Because he himself has time stopped.
However, the members thought that the leader was worried about them. It was a subtle illusion again. That didn’t last very long. Hans said, raising his hand.
“Stop, there’s something ahead.”
There was something strewn about in the hallway of the palace. At first Hans thought it was a person. However, when I got closer and checked, it was not a person, but a piece of human remains.
A palace with pieces of remains lying around. It was a palace because I liked it. In reality, it was no different from a tomb. Meanwhile, Cluna, who was personally examining the pieces of remains, clicked his tongue and said,
“These are remains that are at least hundreds of years old.”
“It’s been that long?”
“Yes, that’s all I could evaluate. It could have been much older remains.”
“This is Your Majesty’s wife. There is a bracelet around her arm.”
In the direction Revil pointed to, there was a really rusty bracelet. It had weathered over time to the point where its original form was unrecognizable. Nevertheless, Revil was able to recognize it as soon as he saw it.
“Did he know someone?”
“He is the husband whom Her Majesty the Queen truly loved.”
“Your husband? Then you are the king?”
“On the surface, yes.”
Many things came with being the king’s companion. And although he is not a wise man to solve them all. He was the one who always had her queen’s back.
Her Majesty the Queen was somehow able to grit her teeth and hold on, at least while her husband was alive. However, immediately after confirming my husband’s death. Your Majesty has become a completely different person.
As proof of this, isn’t even the body of her husband lying around carelessly? Revil sighed and collected his remains. After he was completely divided, he could not enter the royal castle.
There was no time to even collect his husband’s remains. Of course, it is true that I was jealous and hated him during his lifetime. Now I just feel sad. After collecting all of his remains, Revil quietly opened his mouth.
“I hope you find peace there.”
* * *
I saw many other remains as well. Strangely, there was no sign of life. It’s as if there really is no one here except Hans and the others. It was almost creepy.
And finally they arrived at the center of the royal castle. Torn curtains, collapsed pillars, and even a cracked ceiling. The place could never be called normal, it was a place close to ruins.
She was sitting on a throne in the center of the ruins. Gray hair so long it almost covered the floor. Even the red eye light flowing through the gap. It looked more like a ghost than a person.
“How have you been? Your Majesty.”
“Yes, Revil. Looks like you betrayed me and made new friends.”
“Would you mind? It’s all for your own good.”
A terrible, boiling voice struck my ears. Most of the members had contemplative faces. But Hans was focused on her actions. At that time, the queen shouted.
“Are you talking about killing me along with those friends?”
The queen was furious now. She feels that her former loyalist, who once followed her, has betrayed her. But Revil did not betray. He is still a loyal subject. Including right now.
“That’s right.”
There are many types of loyal subjects. If only there were loyal followers who believed in it and followed it steadily. On the other hand, there are also loyalists who speak frankly to change what is wrong. Revil is a loyalist who belongs to the latter group.
Now the queen is going down the wrong path. Revil said bluntly that she shouldn’t do that, but what came back was that she was treated like a slave. Nevertheless, Revil did not give up his loyalty until the end.
“Ending your life is my duty as a loyal subject.”
By ending the life of the queen who had gone down the wrong path, she will no longer be dishonored here. That was Revil’s choice of loyalty. Hans quietly went out in front of Revil.
“Do you have much to say to each other, Queen?”
“you are……?!”
“Do you know me?”
“…No, I guess it’s an illusion. Well, there’s no way you’re alive.”
Hans tilted his head. Was there someone similar to you who lived during the queen’s time? Or is it something else? But he had no time to resolve his doubts. Rua, who was behind, shouted.
“Dangerous!!!”
As soon as Lua’s voice fell, Hans took a step back. At the same time, black vines sprouted from the ground and tore apart the area where Hans was. Hans opened his mouth.
“I see. Is this why the vines outside didn’t approach?”
“Of course. These guys are very precious.”
“……no way.”
Revil looked astonished, as if he had realized something. I could feel her Queen’s face lighting up with joy. Actually, Hans didn’t notice. The queen said it all out loud.
“Say hello. These are your superiors, colleagues, and subordinates whom you betrayed.”
Black vines. They were much tougher and more powerful than the vines outside her, and ironically, they were a part of her made up of true ancestors who followed her until the end.
That is, in other words.
She made both monsters and demons a part of herself.
