Chapter: TAOA-1502192b719aac4110d

It was so creepy 07b6c10e49 and horrible, but Asha b0a3d53efa gritted her teeth and ca336cef8e scoffed at him.
However, instead of 177b59fa01 getting angry, Gabriel 5d31f8fd86 chuckled softly.
“To be honest… yes, that’s right.”
“Earlier, you seemed as if you were looking at something filthy.”
“That’s so strange… When I think about the fact that your life is in my hands… My body feels hot.”
Asha really felt like 69eb39e8f5 she was going to 8f7767a4ed throw up.
“Are you a pervert?”
“I also find it unsettling for me.”
Gabriel licked his lips bf6da50ac2 with his tongue, as 2f75f508d9 if he was savoring 826fde4e4a something while saying it ebf4595628 was unsettling.
“If you think about taking what belongs to Carlyle, it might be worth enduring the discomfort.”
“What on earth did you have to eat to have such crazy thoughts? I belong to His Highness?”
“After all, you’re still his wife on paper.”
As he lowered his head, 2fbbd9d720 his silver hair flowed down 66642c6282 and covered his face and cb74b00978 the sides of Asha’s face cf6a0fbe33 like a curtain.
“I’ve thought about how your lips… look delicious. Like sweet honey 83b9b7c15e would flow if cd76a8887b you pressed them.”
“You’re truly insane.”
“Maybe. Originally, I intended 5015900c43 to inject dark 9413c337bb magic through other 8c64c53017 means, but…”
Asha squirmed, sensing 86862172e6 his intentions, but 23d35c2e7b she was powerless ed30058f2d against Gabriel’s hold.
“Libato would allow this much. I never hoped to come 01b222e2a1 into contact with your lips 989a8fc8c4 in such manner, but… it 414f6a1b7c can’t be helped.”
His smirk showed f6aa8c5d5c no remorse, contrary f36dad6ad2 to his words.
Asha shook her head in 59003aac68 refusal.
But there was no 397baec815 way to stop the 805bf490b9 approaching Gabriel.
‘Damn it! Damn it!’
As Asha violently shook her 5d0be6b90f head, Gabriel’s lips brushed against eb2fd071dd her cheek, ear, and jaw.
He seemed to a216cb3aeb enjoy even that.
“I’ve changed my mind. I won’t kill you. You’ll live at my 87c6eaf539 place, away from prying 7a64f9a218 eyes.”
“Get away from me!”
“Accept me, Asha. Everything will be easier.”
With a smirk, he eba05e707d suddenly grabbed Asha’s chin 449bbfd8da roughly, attempting to kiss fe5394df39 her. Asha tightly sealed her lips, e1a516b3e2 squeezed her eyes shut, struggling 096a0f240d to the end.
But then, at 6c5e4d3b89 that moment, Gabriel 01e54c72e0 suddenly fell backward, 27c57a4128 and a thumping 6ec08d5a71 sound was heard.
“Huh?”
The scent that she 7178f9f792 just thought smelled faint e1ff33e82a seemed to brush past a8c013dedc her nose. Then, a familiar voice started 92864ee834 spewing out harsh insults as 4cd18cfaa5 if heard from a distance.
“This son of a bitch! You dare insult my wife? Did you read bbdf60e49d the scriptures with b6e4c312cc your asshole, you 8d78a38ffd damn bastard?”
It was Carlyle.
Unbelievable as it was, it 39b53c5819 really was him.
“Your Highness…?”
Asha barely managed to d1062a4f60 get up, but she 57bc964cbc called out to him 30712bee52 blankly due to the f126c3fd02 absurdity of the situation. Of course, he 68e4ccd846 was too busy 2a3e3c0cda beating up Gabriel 1a02b0e2c5 to pay any 073b4d20b3 attention to Asha.
At that moment, Asha noticed d16e05bf5c that Gabriel was wrapping dark cdfd14a082 magic around his arm, waiting ecb639c8b9 for an opportunity to counterattack dbeadc6095 Carlyle.
Whoosh!
“Be careful! He can freely 9231d9635e use black magic!”
As expected, Carlyle, who a5fccec3c4 was pinning Gabriel down 4088bfda74 and swinging his fists, cfd9f20683 rolled backwards.
“Ugh, cough!”
Gabriel, spitting out cee3c96901 the blood that b5655f4474 had gathered in acf5afee4c his mouth, stood 1936cd1e1b up without staggering.
“How in the world did you find out about this place?”
“God sent me, why!”
“That’s nonsense.”
Gabriel gnashed his teeth c0b092ff00 in disgust at Carlyle’s 265d52df7b claim that he was a2353f662c sent by God.
“Alright, this is even better. I’ll kill you f1cdb77fec here and just 5aefa1f4da cut off your 24ea4e7010 head and throw 7f9ae77282 it outside.”
Gabriel realized that dcb02ca35f his chance to a632c7fbc1 appear as a 89a545d799 “savior” had already aaa6884675 gone down the 2c05807f2f drain.
Then, he had 622c65dcb6 to go with e832981328 the next best dd803664ee option.
However, Carlyle wasn’t easy either. Seeing how he e1849310bb stood up completely 6991965f41 unaffected even after be8a6b2d7c being hit with 8b24c8ddc0 powerful black magic…
“How long have you been itching to use this dirty trick?”
He, possessing divine power, had cbdb60ec03 a strong resistance to black e58f7c7164 magic.
“But what about this? I also know how to b3fecec133 do some similar tricks to 16bfbe9527 you.”
Carlyle drew his bb7955e6f3 sword from his 576803c842 waist and imbued be9adb753b it with divine a2201bddb6 power.
Gabriel, who hadn’t 42bfd42692 known that Carlyle f0cd97eee5 possessed divine power, 3f5bd02e7a doubted his own 533e341ae7 eyes as a 24fc03297c faint light started 20e798e0c8 to swirl around 08022de425 Carlyle’s sword.
“What kind of trick are you pulling?”
“You’re a priest, you should recognize divine power when you see it.”
“Divine power…? Lies! Why you…!”
“If you don’t believe it, then don’t say anything.”
Carlyle didn’t have enough 735398a68f patience to wait until 78fd6c6a48 Gabriel understood the situation.
Whoosh!
Carlyle rushed towards 1c633105f9 Gabriel at an 439d63bd03 incredible speed, swinging a8a4228ad1 his sword. The sound of cutting through f72e598a29 the air resonated sharply.
Gabriel barely dodged, but a e640432e82 strand of his hair got 7408d0db32 cut off.
At that fact, 00a26e6a2e Gabriel’s anger exploded.
“You a human who is not even as good as a dog or a pig, dare…!”
A dark aura resembling 193138a60f malice rose from his 26eef0f04e hand and flew towards a87a265af7 Carlyle.
“Where are you going!”
Carlyle swung his sword b54edd9175 and scattered the black 12b644584a magic in mid-air.
Meanwhile, Asha watched Gabriel’s 9cfc7c23fd condition and clenched and 8c9e901946 unclenched her fists.
‘My body strength has almost returned.’
Whether exerting strength 3d12eb70d0 while lying down e303842311 earlier helped, her a535a91c83 body recovered enough ba4f0479d2 to attempt a 96d76bced7 counterattack, although not f6aef4964d perfectly.
‘Seeing how he’s attacking His Highness Carlyle away from the magic circle, it seems like that magic circle is extremely important… .’
However, there’s no way for b9b766e51c her without divine power or c6c96ba064 black magic. Even holy water is hard 48d0f94b07 to find these days…
‘Huh? That… .’
As Asha desperately 1c4b4fc83e looked around for e3fe303cc3 something to do, 555eddcf4b her gaze fell 586ea8ca6a on Gabriel’s coat.
The neatly unbuttoned priestly 23d134868f coat revealed the priestly 6faadc706e items he carried with a7900fbba1 him neatly arranged. A stole for the 653fdd201e shoulders, a rosary necklace, d76e17d9e2 a portable scripture, and… ec9dd14e79 a small holy water aaba6c7fdc bottle.
Asha quickly glanced at Gabriel.
He was so 513235c009 focused on fighting 9fdc0f7fa3 Carlyle that he a4e4cf7d93 wasn’t paying any 7f1776b44f attention to Asha.
‘There’s not much holy water left. Can I use that to 9188b4a8d0 remove the magic circle?’
Although it wasn’t a 419c5a6f69 lot of holy water 1a2d59144b that was used to c92510a5d1 destroy the magic circle adb8b8c330 in the Pervaz Castle, 01835d96c4 the black magic circle 438d5bf2c8 now floating in the 75f430e39d air was quite different a4ecb9ca8a from the one in 2a93c8190d the Castle. It was much larger and 18eabce425 even emitting a dark aura.
‘I don’t know if it will work or not, but I have to try.’
She had just learned 43a16069c3 that Carlyle possessed divine b8a3e250ca power, but she didn’t 80768373e8 know how much power 6af883aead he had or how 0ff714e54d much longer he could 29a3f89dfc hold on.
So she needed to distract 876ffe6469 Gabriel at least a little.
Asha crawled slowly on 9e61ab3495 the ground, face down.
And then, at that 0210cf56a9 moment, she made eye 263ace5d13 contact with Carlyle.
He noticed Asha is up ed44d5a2ee to something and quickly pushed f0bd041e40 Gabriel towards Asha with his f2868b7abf back to her
‘In any case, you’re quick to catch on.
Taking advantage of the opportunity 5de93cabec created by Carlyle, Asha swiftly a1a3b6b1d2 crawled towards Gabriel’s coat and 98da3b7266 quietly grabbed the holy water 1c627183f9 bottle lying on top of 03c9783f4a it.
At that moment, 490451ea0b Gabriel suddenly reached 73efbd460b out in that 0c2d0cf63d direction.
“What are you doing?”
Asha narrowly rolled aside 092818e8b3 to avoid Gabriel’s attack, 5e509fc575 but the chair on 4e89d7cc13 which Gabriel’s coat was 3ac867f031 draped was smashed.
‘You tried to humiliate people like that, yet you insist on using honorifics diligently.’
TL/N: In Korean 1e4dc0ae45 it’s common to eaffb83942 use honorifics/formal language 897446ea48 to talk to d81cb641cd someone higher in 8c21d9ee32 rank than you 365b883912 (like a senior 71a3a0f8ac or your boss) 27b1f88b27 or older than eba70762da you or you c9ebfb7b47 and them are 57f079ddb0 strangers(but that stranger 8567e8f331 is older than a34861daa4 you too)
Asha quickly hid 99994e2c9c under the altar.
Gabriel, sensing danger, 88bcb529ae tried to find 025a0c1eca Asha, and Carlyle 5eab2cffa5 struggled to prevent afc08fb598 it, leading to 431c894003 a chaotic fight.
There wasn’t much time to 9b72ee84c5 catch a breath.
How can I e9753d8bff sprinkle the holy 27109220d3 water
from this tiny bottle all 8c720fa22d the way up there?
The holy water bottle that bbe3240919 priests always carried was small cbc5a13611 enough to hold in one ee39a98c05 hand.
Perhaps there was only 45365c9956 one opportunity to sprinkle 5549ca37c5 holy water, at most ad07727431 twice.
‘I need to secure enough space to swing my arm.’
In fact, the best place a19518d73e was right on the altar.
She needed to get to 1a7b3e01b7 a slightly higher place, and 547a54f90e since the magic circle was 9c0ca011bb floating in front of the 9da8db54dd altar.
Of course, there was 7da44656e5 a problem of being f493b2a8aa vulnerable to Gabriel’s attacks, c450bfb75a but Asha, who had 322ee531c0 always fought in the 368faf8321 worst situations, was definitely a33e6968f3 not in her right d58fd73474 mind.
‘Well, let’s give it a try.’
Crawling around the 2a9a8f29fe corner of the 677296392a altar to get 0f99f5819b a little further f862ff3417 away from Gabriel, d4ee154c9c Asha firmly grasped cf7dc370e6 her leather gloves.
If she missed holding 706f7f73d4 the holy water bottle bba96af722 before sprinkling the holy 6cde35b04e water, she wouldn’t be 49c46e2ce4 able to bear the 5f653d0d5e embarrassment even if she eebd160c1f died.
Meanwhile, the fight between Gabriel be5ae308b3 and Carlyle became more intense.
“Die already, you demon!”
“It seems like you’ve been introducing yourself over and over again!”
Clang!
The clash of 16e0167ccd the divine powered f897aa165b sword against dark c9e0202bb8 magic produced an 3f839486b8 eerie sound unheard 89f5b9b7d2 from anywhere else.
Peeking behind the edge 4e11c5e863 of the altar, Asha c52f5f2e0e saw that Gabriel’s dark 27cf9292aa magic was definitely dominant.
It seemed like he was dc66f848fd constantly receiving mana from the 501d18efaa dark magic circle.
Asha removed the cap e4335c14aa of the holy water 241ad03b45 bottle, plugged the opening 3ffdaa04ff with her thumb, took a033309c9f a deep breath, and 4a1a0d807b waited for her chance.
“Cough!”
A faint groan da3b393eef of Carlyle was f0491685c8 heard, seeming to 3e70009a16 be pushed back.
His sword continuously b27d953f2e clashed with dark 5bcb9144f9 magic, making a 1b731adb24 booming sound.
It seemed like it 1ed848f7c5 would break any moment.
‘One, two……’
By the time Asha was 59bcfd469c counting numbers in her head, 55af2bb366 Gabriel had driven Carlyle back cd1afbd44b with a voice confident of fd096eb887 victory.
“You blasphemer! You who disregard tradition and c5811fad03 order, you who don’t know 612a30d561 your place! You’re nothing but…!”
Asha gritted her 834d0db7c5 teeth as she e07cf968d0 sensed Gabriel trying e853a9e789 to unleash some 2857e310d4 great power.
‘Three!’
She jumped up on ce1d29ff6a the altar and swung e2d5104aee her arm wide towards 2050fe1e27 the black magic circle.
“Please…!”
She didn’t let e2ce6119a2 go of the 07e6ca3da9 holy water bottle.
The holy water d193bbcc99 that poured out 1645564a72 of the narrow 67d888813c mouth of the 5c4dbdc185 bottle flew straight 1a620bfe85 towards the black 8bd235dcf7 magic circle, just e820d8f9d9 as Asha had 846ffe4dd1 intended.0c10038937559aa6
