Do Flowers Bloom in the Fallen Land? - Chapter 141.2

For a moment, she wondered how the two men were dead at once, but now she couldn’t afford to think about that.

As soon as he let her down, Baron caught her trying to run to the eighth Guardian.

“Be careful, please.”

Desperation was conveyed through the trembling fingertips. She’d normally scold him, saying, “Don’t worry about it,” but Seira was only able to nod at him once. It was because of the heavy burden on her chest.

The fear that she couldn’t bear to spit out seemed to be stuck like a thorn in her throat.

Seira clenched her teeth and fixed her sword because the only way to shake it was to reduce the number of enemies with her own hands.

Louis quickly scanned the situation with his eyes.

‘The debris… must be inside the duchy.’

He could tell by the direction the Guardians were rushing to. This was bad news for Louis, too. Because D-Arc wouldn’t let him inside the castle.

‘I wish I had imprinted on Seira.’

If so, it would’ve recognized him as Seira’s ‘guardian’ and allowed him to pass. Just as Aven can freely enter and exit the duchy without Seira’s permission. But this was a long overdue regret anyway, and all he could do for her now was to support her in time to make sure that the defense team took minimal damage.

‘It seems to be holding up better than I thought…’

He wondered if the defense team, which didn’t include master-level slayers and wizards, could hold the Guardians back, but surprisingly, there were people active here and there.

Thanks to this, the three offensive teams managed to get rid of the Guardians smoothly.

‘The real problem might be somewhere else.’

Louis, who turned his head to confirm Seira’s safety, saw her flying away. Baron Jeff ran to her despite the defensive barrier he was deploying, throwing himself one step ahead of him. He was completely turned against the Guardian he was dealing with.

‘That crazy person…’

Baron’s back would have been a mop by now if the wizard Zion had not dealt with it at a miraculous pace.

It was a coincidence that Louis saw Aven while he was swearing. Aven, who was watching Baron reach for Seira, stamped the Guardian’s neck on the floor and pressed on it. Then, he poked his hand into the left chest, where the core would be.

‘…’

Louis’ spine went cold at the sight.

-Brother… Big brother…

-We can’t eat like that…

His brothers also began to tremble with instinctive fear.

In fact, the moment he saw Aven’s eyes turned red, he noticed a little. The balance that had been narrowly maintained was broken.

The reason why Aven was said to be the only complete work was that the opposing forces was completely balanced within him.

Even a single drop of poison made from giant bone powder could kill an entire village and create a beast’s nest. It was thanks to the power of Viseltium blood that made it possible to keep him sane even after being injected for nearly a year immediately after birth.

Aven would have instinctively refrained from using both the messenger of God and the giant family, despite being able to draw and use the power of both. He probably didn’t want to be caught off guard by Seira.

But all his efforts were in vain, and now Aven seemed to have been eroded by the madness that arose from the giants.

While dealing with Tesser and Isabel, he must’ve been doused with poison, or he must’ve drawn on the power of the giants too much. Or maybe even both.

Louis observed Aven carefully so that he did not notice. Then he realized shortly afterwards.

‘He’s saving his strength as much as he can.’

With just the power he absorbed so far, he could easily defeat a Guardian, but he was doing nothing but punishing those who harmed Seira. He felt that he was watching a few people, keeping pace enough to keep them from thinking it was strange.

Those who looked at Seira frequently or, on the contrary, at her particularly frequently were the targets. The vassals of Calrad and Askan, and themselves, were among them.

‘No way…’

He wanted to deny it, but he had no choice but to recognize it because they were brothers rooted in the same place. The jealousy, anger, and murder in that gaze.

‘The exceptions are… Is it just Baron Jeff?’

After watching closely, Louis noticed that Aven recognized Baron as Seira’s ‘Guardian’.

‘No way… Did that muscle mass imprint on Seira?’

Guardians who put the safety of the ‘king’ are jealous of each other but do not hurt each other.

If he concluded that all other beings are enemies who are greedy with the king,

‘…Bloody hell.’

Not everyone here will survive, human or beast.
