Chapter 94
The swarthy-skinned leader seems unable to comprehend the situation . He just continues to stare wide-eyed at Alicia . And Alicia is standing there frozen, ax raised, her face becoming grimmer by the second .
A deep rivet cuts between her eyebrows and her expression looks strained, like she’s putting in everything she’s got . Like she’s desperately trying to move . She must be fighting Liz Cather’s magic with every fiber of her being right now, but from head to toe, not even a single muscle gives . Even her voice seems to be sealed .
… . . That’s the saintess for you alright . No one can match her in sheer magical power .
I look towards the door and scream as loud as I can, “Liz Cather! Stop!”
But my words don’t seem to register with her at all . Even if they did, she probably wouldn’t understand what I wanted her to stop doing .
They do seem to strike a chord with the swarthy-skinned leader though . My yell seems to have shaken him from his stupor and allowed him to guess at the current situation .
“Gahahaha! Can’t move, canya!” he mocks, laughing maniacally and showing off his stained, rotting teeth . Reaching into his jacket pocket, he pulls out a small blade .
For the first time since this whole battle started, Alicia’s expression turns impatient .
“Alicia!!”
I realize that yelling won’t solve anything, but I can’t help it . The cry is ripped from my throat as I watch the man approaching Alicia, knife at the ready, a sinister smile creeping onto his face .

Fear stabs through me as I curse my inability to move . No matter how desperately I tell my legs to work, to do something, they don’t budge an inch . And for the first time I realize that they must be broken . I hadn’t had the time to even notice that until now .
I give up on using my legs and reach out with my arms, dragging myself painfully across the floor over to Alicia . When I’m just about to reach her, the swarthy-skinned leader walks leisurely over to me and raises his big, thick, leather boot . With a smirk, he stomps it down as hard as he can on my hand .
“Hck–Gyaaaa!”
There’s a crunch as the bones of my hand are crushed .
“Kyahahahaha!”

I hear insane laughter from above me as he continues to grind his boot down .
I try to raise my head to look but before I do, he lifts his foot just long enough to send a vicious kick to my abdomen . My whole body lifts off the ground with that kick and revolves in the air .
Time once again seems to slow to a crawl . As I spin, I note that the thug is looking at me with a smile that makes my skin crawl . Then Alicia comes into my view . She’s staring hard at me with fear in her eyes .
Rather than worrying about me, you should worry about yourself! I try to convey to her with my gaze when we lock eyes for a split second .

And then a boom shakes through the tiny cabin as my body smashes to the ground . Intense pain shoots through me . It hurts so much that I wouldn’t be surprised if I died right here .
But, more than the pain, I can’t stand the idea of Alicia no longer existing in this world . If this battered body is enough, I’ll gladly trade it away… Take this forsaken life too . Take it all, God! Just don’t let Alicia die .
I won’t ever resent you again . I’ll never again complain about being born in that hellhole nor being forced to live my life in an unreasonable situation . Just, somehow, please save her . I’m begging you! From the bottom of my heart .
Using every last bit of my strength, I drag myself on my hands and knees the rest of the way to Alicia . As I reach her feet, I fall to the floor . I don’t even have the strength to raise my head .
“…… . —!”
There’s a sound, a wet slitch and then a few droplets of a bright red liquid drip onto the ground right in front of me . Ice slithers down my spine and I can feel all the blood draining from my face .
