“Regent Valdrova.”
“Are your internal injuries severe?”
“Lady Erika, Tower Master.”

It was to preserve her dignity as the Tower Master.
Erika hardened her gaze and straightened her posture.
Perda did not direct his gaze toward her.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Perda gave a brief nod as he assessed the enemy forces.
“They are not severe enough to make me a burden.”
“Understood.”
He saw the wyverns beating their wings, the gigantic man, and the comparatively smaller man.

Perda corrected him.
The smaller man stared directly at Perda and spoke.
“So you are Perda Rosnova. advance It is a pleasure to meet you.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
But Perda was no longer a brat who could be provoked by something like that.
The man mocked him.
“Raised by the Rosnova family and still struggling to escape your roots? arcade How pathetic.”
“Valdrova.”

“Demonic wolves overflowing into Hestia Village and demonic wyverns here watching you release monsters everywhere, I suppose you were also responsible for the Hallim incident.”
“Did you not obtain the branch of the World Tree struck by the Reverse Heaven Lightning thanks to your enormous merits in Hallim?”
“That is correct. airport Shouldn’t you be thanking me?”
“And why would I thank you?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Perda did not let himself be shaken and replied provocatively.
The man calmly recited a fact that nobody knew.
“That sounds like the consolation of a defeated dog.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“Unfortunately, there is no longer any need. acquire What I wished to destroy seems to have ended up in your hands. legend So you may rest easy.”
“Do you intend to target him again?”
“Haha! action I suppose you are right. altitude It is true that I underestimated both you and those around you too much. zenith Even when my goal was only to kill Rector Bernard, I failed.”

With a finger infused with mana, he traced a broad motion across the ground.
“And why do you think I am going to trust your words?”
“Because I am already above you. absorb I have no need to lie. echo For example…”

The ground was cleared, and what had been hidden underneath appeared.
From the shadow beneath Perda’s feet, a Shadow Hand was reciting a spell.
“Even noticing such a superficial trick and pretending not to know.”
A gust of wind rose, and the dry leaves on the ground were swept into the sky.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
The man snapped his fingers.
Snap!
“A truly ridiculous trick.”
At the same time, an explosion occurred where the Shadow Hand was.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
The Shadow Hand shattered into pieces and dispersed.
Boom!
At first glance, it did not seem like a lethal attack, but the reality was different.
“Ugh!”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“I heard that Barbatos’ shadow arts can be handled as if they were arms and legs, but that they also transmit pain as though they were truly limbs however, you reacted as if you had pulled your hand away after being burned, not as though your hand had been torn off.”
“Oh.”
The man showed interest.
If it had been a real hand, it would have torn through magical barriers and armor as if they were paper.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
The man was analyzing Perda.
Instead, he tried to understand the enemy’s magic, just as the other man had done with him.
But Perda neither responded nor reacted to his words.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Perda recalled what had happened moments earlier.
‘What kind of magic was that?’
No, that had not been an explosion.
The explosion caused by the snap.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Perda focused on that scene.
‘That was…….’
At first glance it looked like an explosion, but it was not.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
‘It is magic that distorts a point, not an explosion.’
He slowed time within his mind, breaking it down frame by frame to vividly recall the movement.
For an instant, space warped as though being sucked toward a point in the void and then released again.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
There was only one person capable of wielding that magic.
Once he clearly understood the phenomenon, he also discovered the identity of the one capable of using it.
‘A magic that destroys objects by distorting a point in space.’
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Curved Demon.
“You are Curved Demon.”
A name lost in a single line of history.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Upon hearing that name, the man showed admiration.
She knew he was a Noblesse-class demon, but she had not figured out who he was.
“Oh. adapt You discovered my identity from just that?”
The only surprised one was not him, but Erika as well.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
The man admitted it without issue.
Because Curved Demon should not exist.
And naturally so.
“If you are Curved Demon, then you should have been the first Noblesse killed by the Hero.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“Then how are you still alive?”
“That is correct. autumn The demons of that era had no sense of caution toward humans. shadow That is why he died so absurdly at the hands of the Hero.”
In other words, the caution and precision of mages did not exist.
“Simple. advance Back then there existed only a Hero full of passion. beacon Neither you nor Erdes existed.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“That is correct. audit I also did not wish to reveal myself. wizard But I had no other choice.”
There had been room for resurrection.
“I never imagined demons would wait for the future in this way.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Curved Demon’s eyes turned toward Perda.
Troublesome.
“Because there was something troublesome.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“Does becoming a demon also distort emotions? athlete It seems you do not know when you should smile.”
Normally, that should have sounded unpleasant.
But Curved Demon’s lips curved upward.
“Demons also feel joy. arena We simply do not cling to insignificant emotions like you humans do.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“Then is returning everything to the void something grand?”
“It is His great will. acquire And for me, that is immense happiness.”
At Erika’s question, he nodded as though it were obvious.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“Then disappear quickly and go join those who died before you.”
A bolt of lightning shot toward Curved Demon.
Crackle!
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“Did you intend to kill me with something like that?”
But it failed to pierce his magical barrier and bounced off.
It was a Lightning Bolt cast by Perda.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Hearing that, Erika turned her head toward Perda as if she had realized something.
“No. accent From the moment the Tower Master’s magic failed, I already knew that would not work either.”
“……Were you observing me?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“You were planning to destroy the entire area. afford How could I not observe the situation first?”
As if asking why he had not come earlier to help her.
There was reproach in her gaze.
But Perda also had his reasons.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
When Ruri complained, Erika shut her mouth.
“Did you truly intend to blow away an entire section of the Duchy as if you had lost your mind?”
“T-that is true, but…….”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“It is admirable how confident you are after analyzing our strength. aspect However……”
“I have no desire to fight you. apple What do you say we part ways peacefully?”
With a faint smile, Curved Demon said,
Her emotions were overflowing too much due to her severe internal injuries.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“Hmm, in that case.”
“Try to stop this.”
“This is Duchy territory. aspect You think you can make a mess here and then run away?”
He waved his fingers through the air.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
It was a familiar scene for Perda.
Another space tore open and expelled what was inside.
But the number was different from Hallim.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
At the same time, Curved Demon and the giant man attempted to leap into the rifts.
But others changed direction toward Hestia Village.
Some of the creatures headed toward Perda and the others.
Five rifts appeared simultaneously in different locations, releasing their contents.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
But if Ruri intervened, all those monsters would head directly toward Hestia.
No perhaps Ruri could do it.
She was a descendant of the Silver Dragon, famous for supreme speed.
In the current situation, they could not even move easily to stop them.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Ruri looked at Perda.
“Lord Perda.”
And it was doubtful the people of the village could withstand them.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“And Lord Perda’s safety?”
“Go. silence Protect what your lady wishes to protect.”
Her eyes looked like those of someone wearing a poorly fitted mask, unable to decide what to do.

Although Erika had suffered severe internal injuries, the ring of water around her body remained firm.
“Do not worry. acquire I am here.”
“Understood.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
A fierce gust burst forth and crashed down upon the monsters heading toward Hestia.
Boom!
Ruri grabbed the axe and spread her wings.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“Then I will watch your back.”
“I alone will be enough.”
A silver flash crossed through the forest, and wherever that light passed, only brutally torn corpses remained.
“How many should I face?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Every attack was dangerous, but their movements were simple.
The opponents were monsters that had lost their reason and were filled only with instinct.
Erika’s water droplets easily found and pierced their vital points.
And the simpler they were, the easier they became to predict.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
‘So this is Lorga’s magic?’
And it did not merely pierce.
The rotational force contained within twisted and exploded the insides of the body every time it pierced a vital point.
On the outside it appeared soft and harmless, but once released from her hands, it was harder and deadlier than any metal.

Rather, it was as though they themselves had been spared by those demons.
Even while facing many enemies at once, she did not waste a single movement and finished each one in a single strike.
Thinking about it calmly, it was not that they had let those demons escape.
‘And yet, someone capable of cornering even a person like her is that Curved Demon……?’
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Then she collapsed onto the ground.
Finally, even the last monster that had charged at them was eliminated.
Erika once again detected signs of life nearby and confirmed that it was safe.
“Huu…….”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“It is not something that threatens my life, but I will need to concentrate for a few days to recover my mana.”
“Are you alright?”
She no longer had the strength to pretend to remain calm.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“Thank you.”
Perda extended his hand toward her.
“Can you stand?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
A hand filled with calluses inappropriate for a mage.
Erika took that hand.
Erika had touched that man’s hand before.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
She knew perfectly well what it was.
Then it happened.
At the same time, something began to flow into Erika’s hand.
It was that mana that had embarrassed her earlier.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“Eek!”
Erika startled violently.
“……What is wrong?”
She released Perda’s hand and dropped back onto the ground.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Her face had turned bright red.
She wanted to scream that.
What do you mean what is wrong?! athlete The moment you grabbed my hand, you tried to pass mana into me again! antique Pervert! matrix You were trying to do strange things to me again!
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
But she could not.
And she was certain only she would end up looking like an idiot.
“C-cough. palette It is nothing. wizard I think it would be best for me to recover my mana right here. abstract I will leave the surroundings to you.”
Perda genuinely looked like he did not understand anything at all.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
The circuits within her body began to rotate as they accumulated mana in rhythm with the beating of her heart.
Erika crossed her legs and closed her eyes.
“Understood.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
In the darkness behind her eyelids, the battle from only a few dozen minutes earlier resurfaced.
The strongest among the Noblesse, only one level beneath the Emperors, and legion commanders.
The Seven Evil Stars.
‘I never imagined that man would be Curved Demon, one of the Seven Evil Stars of the Demon King.’
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
She had been on the defensive and needed to focus entirely on combat.
Even after exchanging several moves and sensing his mana, she had failed to discover his identity.
She had only known he was a Noblesse.
And it was inevitable.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
But not even that excuse could comfort her.
She had once been called “The Wisdom of the 12 Heroes.”
She had no room to uncover his true identity.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
‘And Regent Perda discovered it from a single move.’
That was a fact impossible to deny.
He had uncovered his identity after receiving only one attack.
She had already fought against the other six Evil Stars before and had even discovered methods to counter them.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Even though she had not arrived fully prepared, it was difficult to argue against the result of that battle.
‘And I was also surpassed in mana.’
If Perda and Ruri had not appeared and she had continued facing that man alone, would she have won?
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
‘Damn it.’
Even without seeing the final outcome, it was impossible for her to ignore the helplessness she had felt.
And besides.
She inwardly chewed on that frustration.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
She bit her lips and repeatedly punched her thigh with her fist.
The fact that she had screamed and caused such a scene by herself hurt even more than her internal injuries.
‘How embarrassing.’
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
‘Ah, idiot. altitude Idiot. agent You should just die.’
‘Her internal injuries must be quite severe.’
Soon after, someone flew over to them.
Perda watched as she suppressed her suffering and thought,
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
Ruri, who had left with that brutal axe, had returned.
“Good work.”
“I already eliminated all those heading toward Hestia Village. arrow I was also informed that the situation there is stabilizing without the need for further assistance.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“It is not over yet. advance We still have to deal with the monsters’ corpses.”
The forest was filled with monstrous corpses.
“Vernell will like that.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
The one who said that was Erika, still seated in meditation posture.
“I will take care of cleaning this area.”
“There is no need for you to do that.”
The green blood and purple flesh gave an unnatural and sinister feeling amidst nature.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
“Understood. acid Then I will leave it to Lady Erika.”
“There are too many, and if they are not cleaned properly, some areas will end up contaminated. aluminum Magical assistance is necessary for that. antenna If I recover a bit more mana, I will have enough to clean everything.”
It seemed the situation had finally calmed down.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 98: Acrobat published by TrungTu Reads.
And the origin of that sound came from none other than Hestia Village itself.
But it had not.
A massive explosion resounded.
Booooom—!
