Chapter: TAOA-150aa9b5b86fb88cccb

It was so creepy and 40a33f3f0b horrible, but Asha gritted her a8e5884e68 teeth and scoffed at him.
However, instead of 258d41b0b3 getting angry, Gabriel e8ee32f22f 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 d2a8356285 she was going to 3f509f2e58 throw up.
“Are you a pervert?”
“I also find it unsettling for me.”
Gabriel licked his lips 80116efbc3 with his tongue, as a0c2f38d61 if he was savoring a4a9cbbb2a something while saying it 88c8ca1d5d 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, 4db3b273f7 his silver hair flowed down c413282ecd and covered his face and e177fea908 the sides of Asha’s face 88bad7e8c9 like a curtain.
“I’ve thought about how your lips… look delicious. Like sweet honey would flow ac8780a456 if you pressed them.”
“You’re truly insane.”
“Maybe. Originally, I intended 35b9ab2ee5 to inject dark 39f535583d magic through other ab3af79150 means, but…”
Asha squirmed, sensing 66c0abae1c his intentions, but af6d9cc739 she was powerless 5a59ffcd0b against Gabriel’s hold.
“Libato would allow this much. I never hoped to come 47925b84bd into contact with your lips 1979fea864 in such manner, but… it 9cdf20de31 can’t be helped.”
His smirk showed no remorse, c660aa8dcb contrary to his words.
Asha shook her 3b073ed492 head in refusal.
But there was 3976b1729e no way to ff3da8f2f6 stop the approaching 1f2ab6fecd Gabriel.
‘Damn it! Damn it!’
As Asha violently 62e8ccb6ff shook her head, 64fb873faf Gabriel’s lips brushed 1ef5984522 against her cheek, ee892a1e9f ear, and jaw.
He seemed to enjoy 1c06ea88a3 even that.
“I’ve changed my mind. I won’t kill you. You’ll live at my 92cfaa3e2e place, away from prying 57057dee20 eyes.”
“Get away from me!”
“Accept me, Asha. Everything will be easier.”
With a smirk, he suddenly 7900ea209b grabbed Asha’s chin roughly, attempting 907cb2a57e to kiss her. Asha tightly sealed her fd5d196e9e lips, squeezed her eyes a7277c7e83 shut, struggling to the 6b2cddeaa4 end.
But then, at b329d18b3a that moment, Gabriel f23dce4a8f suddenly fell backward, 76f52a66be and a thumping 1fc0c0d95c sound was heard.
“Huh?”
The scent that she just f563af18e8 thought smelled faint seemed to 066554fafc brush past her nose. Then, a familiar voice 33227ce9d5 started spewing out harsh 32554d6fec insults as if heard f756c926ee from a distance.
“This son of a bitch! You dare insult my wife? Did you read 935bbfabb8 the scriptures with b4edf24fe6 your asshole, you 1261cfcd92 damn bastard?”
It was Carlyle.
Unbelievable as it was, bcfe0c5108 it really was him.
“Your Highness…?”
Asha barely managed to 204f27615e get up, but she 360c9ee9a4 called out to him 64a165e15f blankly due to the 57fed98e4b absurdity of the situation. Of course, he was 2a97769e7a too busy beating up dffbcecdfd Gabriel to pay any 8ba368eb0e attention to Asha.
At that moment, Asha noticed 741c2dcb42 that Gabriel was wrapping dark 20e1acc438 magic around his arm, waiting b77ba6dea1 for an opportunity to counterattack 759a515cbe Carlyle.
Whoosh!
“Be careful! He can freely use 213159eb13 black magic!”
As expected, Carlyle, who 90d3bdb389 was pinning Gabriel down a3ecdde9bd and swinging his fists, 3cdf79ae93 rolled backwards.
“Ugh, cough!”
Gabriel, spitting out the d61be365ae blood that had gathered 6caa84242b in his mouth, stood ea3df8ec3f 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 in f709f35507 disgust at Carlyle’s claim that 5fb45d9118 he was sent by God.
“Alright, this is even better. I’ll kill you here and cd8a8b761e just cut off your head abfc60363b and throw it outside.”
Gabriel realized that his chance 7b83554ba5 to appear as a “savior” dba590e52c had already gone down the fe266d7640 drain.
Then, he had to c47fa63a9a go with the next e1372a51a2 best option.
However, Carlyle wasn’t easy either. Seeing how he 6b270abde6 stood up completely e273683699 unaffected even after 60ac82c94f being hit with f53542a92a powerful black magic…
“How long have you been itching to use this dirty trick?”
He, possessing divine power, 7eb677c7d3 had a strong resistance 8c2294d18c to black magic.
“But what about this? I also know how cca9c7d106 to do some similar 89e30273cb tricks to you.”
Carlyle drew his 846f862c5c sword from his 435c5c98b2 waist and imbued a026b2f045 it with divine 494c40a324 power.
Gabriel, who hadn’t known e2a0cde997 that Carlyle possessed divine 809be1a4e2 power, doubted his own 7a5d242ce4 eyes as a faint bdf5c45f14 light started to swirl e981755a66 around 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 patience dad2742705 to wait until Gabriel understood 46a2c24780 the situation.
Whoosh!
Carlyle rushed towards da8cebf752 Gabriel at an 3bf06750e9 incredible speed, swinging 4357d02a92 his sword. The sound of cutting through 08ef5785eb the air resonated sharply.
Gabriel barely dodged, but b135c7e59d a strand of his 81434bd4ef hair got cut off.
At that fact, 5657ebc85e Gabriel’s anger exploded.
“You a human who is not even as good as a dog or a pig, dare…!”
A dark aura e627b11cc7 resembling malice rose 7d83ddb174 from his hand 1c141dea9c and flew towards 95948b8e8f Carlyle.
“Where are you going!”
Carlyle swung his 31d94c6840 sword and scattered b5e48f825e the black magic 714dc318ad in mid-air.
Meanwhile, Asha watched Gabriel’s condition 257d20424b and clenched and unclenched her eed3d05ba5 fists.
‘My body strength has almost returned.’
Whether exerting strength 51f3a6e768 while lying down b9c42de8d6 earlier helped, her 5a5bac408e body recovered enough ba19e2d513 to attempt a dccd72dee7 counterattack, although not f0aa2b804f 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 b0dd004fdb for her without divine 7f15a0b502 power or black magic. Even holy water is 824b3e94bb hard to find these 6ef5cf6bab days…
‘Huh? That… .’
As Asha desperately looked 86b91279e1 around for something to a5e2e1a7a2 do, her gaze fell baac8430e1 on Gabriel’s coat.
The neatly unbuttoned 5a468407dc priestly coat revealed b92ed18315 the priestly items 450279f6a4 he carried with 8f9ac5fc6d him neatly arranged. A stole for the shoulders, 42f054b6fb a rosary necklace, a portable e3ab44500b scripture, and… a small holy 94754116dc water bottle.
Asha quickly glanced at Gabriel.
He was so focused ec7a5297b6 on fighting Carlyle that 9f39784413 he wasn’t paying any 01067a62d5 attention to Asha.
‘There’s not much holy water left. Can I use that to 791f38e286 remove the magic circle?’
Although it wasn’t a lot 545778269b of holy water that was 7c9c72a7b0 used to destroy the magic a1f1d00c07 circle in the Pervaz Castle, cc1b64b3fc the black magic circle now 721127e8de floating in the air was f564a1dfae quite different from the one 8ca06348f8 in the Castle. It was much larger and bf9c2148ec even emitting a dark aura.
‘I don’t know if it will work or not, but I have to try.’
She had just learned f991509b85 that Carlyle possessed divine 12e474ace4 power, but she didn’t 531829e446 know how much power 63393e15c1 he had or how 93cb9ff919 much longer he could 2e786c809b hold on.
So she needed to distract 235bd936fd Gabriel at least a little.
Asha crawled slowly on cd42b2071a the ground, face down.
And then, at that moment, 69ab86c14a she made eye contact with 9f4098bc16 Carlyle.
He noticed Asha is 1fc9da75a3 up to something and 36b90fe6bd quickly pushed Gabriel towards 1619020789 Asha with his back 2b2716f1f3 to her
‘In any case, you’re quick to catch on.
Taking advantage of the 528872a85c opportunity created by Carlyle, f755abb706 Asha swiftly crawled towards 701a23993f Gabriel’s coat and quietly 8dca8fd2f6 grabbed the holy water aa9a76b88e bottle lying on top 68626ccefd of it.
At that moment, Gabriel da00e13533 suddenly reached out in 2ac1586d97 that direction.
“What are you doing?”
Asha narrowly rolled aside to 94a3948826 avoid Gabriel’s attack, but the fad1106308 chair on which Gabriel’s coat ea84a1c155 was draped was smashed.
‘You tried to humiliate people like that, yet you insist on using honorifics diligently.’
TL/N: In Korean it’s common c20e5bd6db to use honorifics/formal language to 413a41f83a talk to someone higher in fb7a230d49 rank than you (like a 61a1f91b98 senior or your boss) or 1377119f32 older than you or you f79c57e508 and them are strangers(but that be820cc17e stranger is older than you f492f9071a too)
Asha quickly hid 36b89767a9 under the altar.
Gabriel, sensing danger, tried d0345a552c to find Asha, and 43d100d2c5 Carlyle struggled to prevent 8680e38440 it, leading to a 7a0db5c7c4 chaotic fight.
There wasn’t much time 27e5ddcb7a to catch a breath.
How can I sprinkle 797cc93011 the holy water
from this tiny bottle all c6b281ed3e the way up there?
The holy water 56a93797da bottle that priests 00028407ef always carried was 9c569030d3 small enough to dfa94fa45a hold in one a27252d49b hand.
Perhaps there was only 2459468de0 one opportunity to sprinkle d6167f3b49 holy water, at most 283cf8c981 twice.
‘I need to secure enough space to swing my arm.’
In fact, the best place 8fe4f95e9d was right on the altar.
She needed to 0ff1ef6a5c get to a 1c9fa1ea1f slightly higher place, fae8540711 and since the 01335fc6ed magic circle was 581ac491a6 floating in front 83a463434d of the altar.
Of course, there was a6a0964465 a problem of being be916887d3 vulnerable to Gabriel’s attacks, 8885ff58a6 but Asha, who had bd8c0851b3 always fought in the 489d231cab worst situations, was definitely d3b326db13 not in her right d225b545ca mind.
‘Well, let’s give it a try.’
Crawling around the corner 4ae5f334d6 of the altar to d5695e5a3c get a little further d019ac7131 away from Gabriel, Asha 32944ba652 firmly grasped her leather cac78dcdfb gloves.
If she missed holding ee7fcd7166 the holy water bottle ea4a2ba2d3 before sprinkling the holy f15fff3c30 water, she wouldn’t be 784f8a7934 able to bear the 6c234ec08e embarrassment even if she 22ad533840 died.
Meanwhile, the fight between Gabriel 59bd7ec31f 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 the divine 9e5417bfe0 powered sword against dark magic 8742f664d9 produced an eerie sound unheard 7d00d9638f from anywhere else.
Peeking behind the edge 9a2819bf09 of the altar, Asha fab3c74596 saw that Gabriel’s dark 8b50764c26 magic was definitely dominant.
It seemed like 0c51ec0557 he was constantly deb725a436 receiving mana from d53910245d the dark magic 065aca1671 circle.
Asha removed the cap 9923d7cf58 of the holy water 61e2bf306c bottle, plugged the opening f16802b042 with her thumb, took db547542c6 a deep breath, and 3e7e924788 waited for her chance.
“Cough!”
A faint groan of e2c989c28c Carlyle was heard, seeming 59c6a4cfa8 to be pushed back.
His sword continuously a5487283a6 clashed with dark b8dd071d0b magic, making a 59fcf2f961 booming sound.
It seemed like 6c5410a61e it would break 6ae92d891f any moment.
‘One, two……’
By the time 473eaca5cb Asha was counting 623c3583fa numbers in her 469baa2ef1 head, Gabriel had 40b1b395dd driven Carlyle back befc5c5f0f with a voice 0d026b15bf confident of victory.
“You blasphemer! You who disregard tradition be856032a7 and order, you who 802f631e8a don’t know your place! You’re nothing but…!”
Asha gritted her teeth f2f675f870 as she sensed Gabriel 79f473da56 trying to unleash some db569e561b great power.
‘Three!’
She jumped up on the b8a4da81b6 altar and swung her arm 032eddc2ba wide towards the black magic c6082bb8fc circle.
“Please…!”
She didn’t let 6e7e7acb4b go of the d7a21239f3 holy water bottle.
The holy water that 531d5559eb poured out of the b9decd4d90 narrow mouth of the 4492d7d93c bottle flew straight towards 94d1d674c2 the black magic circle, bb9dbe623e just as Asha had 67e0cc1812 intended.e5e3897235fa61b7
