Chapter: TAOA-150a9a572fd37969313

It was so creepy b7b256955a and horrible, but Asha 8e2aea0448 gritted her teeth and 9ed1a7b56b scoffed at him.
However, instead of ee47b016da getting angry, Gabriel a91a566b3e 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 she 087f847e05 was going to throw up.
“Are you a pervert?”
“I also find it unsettling for me.”
Gabriel licked his lips with 9248577570 his tongue, as if he 7e1069fd24 was savoring something while saying 89f9975239 it 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 309b602913 head, his silver hair f49ad8bbb3 flowed down and covered a41b7f63db his face and the 09f410d7a1 sides of Asha’s face a0f53535d3 like a curtain.
“I’ve thought about how your lips… look delicious. Like sweet honey d00898e04c would flow if a4c33c5076 you pressed them.”
“You’re truly insane.”
“Maybe. Originally, I intended to inject d08fc3ebf3 dark magic through other means, 16a2fffc5c but…”
Asha squirmed, sensing his 1f50865721 intentions, but she was 178bed0462 powerless against Gabriel’s hold.
“Libato would allow this much. I never hoped to come 8babbc9b5e into contact with your lips aa419e334f in such manner, but… it a443887ed2 can’t be helped.”
His smirk showed no 430f35dc64 remorse, contrary to his 2cdc115020 words.
Asha shook her head e04f746b18 in refusal.
But there was no way 6b7317a7d0 to stop the approaching Gabriel.
‘Damn it! Damn it!’
As Asha violently shook 199a534a73 her head, Gabriel’s lips 0c10eb8825 brushed against her cheek, c0242457d7 ear, and jaw.
He seemed to enjoy even 00752fa5f8 that.
“I’ve changed my mind. I won’t kill you. You’ll live at my 58cb9b733f place, away from prying e11dd0a1f0 eyes.”
“Get away from me!”
“Accept me, Asha. Everything will be easier.”
With a smirk, cf0ab8f6ba he suddenly grabbed f1e6b350d7 Asha’s chin roughly, c4ea29653f attempting to kiss 63afa48202 her. Asha tightly sealed her e4100e3fd5 lips, squeezed her eyes 06f95d9a7f shut, struggling to the 40f9dca5f5 end.
But then, at that edc53f24ff moment, Gabriel suddenly fell 202680c81f backward, and a thumping 4cc169fa14 sound was heard.
“Huh?”
The scent that she just 05bf514f03 thought smelled faint seemed to 2a9b4e8309 brush past her nose. Then, a familiar 4aa9b7e0eb voice started spewing 4bdc1d2909 out harsh insults 67410b7a6f as if heard a869bd5024 from a distance.
“This son of a bitch! You dare insult my wife? Did you read 207184d629 the scriptures with a704f47e9c your asshole, you 2e14fca726 damn bastard?”
It was Carlyle.
Unbelievable as it was, it e465cf0fd8 really was him.
“Your Highness…?”
Asha barely managed to get 1e5c1e269b up, but she called out 0be5d8722a to him blankly due to 00b6d25403 the absurdity of the situation. Of course, he was ac332e7c94 too busy beating up 4a41692155 Gabriel to pay any b8c04776bb attention to Asha.
At that moment, 66574b4970 Asha noticed that da453cfb73 Gabriel was wrapping 825a9b6d46 dark magic around ea3ff45e49 his arm, waiting 5e5f8ac228 for an opportunity 1f9ffe96be to counterattack Carlyle.
Whoosh!
“Be careful! He can freely use 56891aa3ae black magic!”
As expected, Carlyle, who d368ca76e5 was pinning Gabriel down d56b46400f and swinging his fists, b94606fd45 rolled backwards.
“Ugh, cough!”
Gabriel, spitting out the blood d8bbb05ade that had gathered in his 229d078a7e mouth, stood 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 ecd190a9cc in disgust at Carlyle’s 1ac97933a0 claim that he was 2b3468145f sent by God.
“Alright, this is even better. I’ll kill you here and 792d065d09 just cut off your head af0d0c965e and throw it outside.”
Gabriel realized that his chance 178c66b38c to appear as a “savior” f0e8e8af10 had already gone down the bed6955852 drain.
Then, he had 7220c7fe1f to go with d6bf57a763 the next best c7fb402a7d option.
However, Carlyle wasn’t easy either. Seeing how he c683050bb6 stood up completely 0b56f3fb45 unaffected even after 7a3a976337 being hit with 1c4b33053e powerful black magic…
“How long have you been itching to use this dirty trick?”
He, possessing divine power, 51d1151ab7 had a strong resistance ae42143e19 to black magic.
“But what about this? I also know how 6773afc04c to do some similar 20a6b70555 tricks to you.”
Carlyle drew his sword d194c2fa04 from his waist and 69d55559ec imbued it with divine d25b16f824 power.
Gabriel, who hadn’t known that d0e4a97e82 Carlyle possessed divine power, doubted 87d6385aa3 his own eyes as a d306c86446 faint light started to swirl 9d0aed772e 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 28c59a9eab enough patience to e134025574 wait until Gabriel 5b16297873 understood the situation.
Whoosh!
Carlyle rushed towards 7853d0dd38 Gabriel at an b4cbec36c4 incredible speed, swinging da7f4a0a0b his sword. The sound of cutting through ea3299f0ed the air resonated sharply.
Gabriel barely dodged, 9aa9626cc0 but a strand 65171f34f0 of his hair d8844175a6 got cut off.
At that fact, 8712b7ed4c Gabriel’s anger exploded.
“You a human who is not even as good as a dog or a pig, dare…!”
A dark aura resembling fbf63eeed0 malice rose from his ae99396275 hand and flew towards 9448455cf7 Carlyle.
“Where are you going!”
Carlyle swung his c14122b0e6 sword and scattered 87f09699c4 the black magic 6acffc7201 in mid-air.
Meanwhile, Asha watched Gabriel’s condition afd6ac8dbd and clenched and unclenched her 8dda2bd609 fists.
‘My body strength has almost returned.’
Whether exerting strength while lying 5062f502f4 down earlier helped, her body 14c656cda0 recovered enough to attempt a 91a438f56b counterattack, although not 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 73e70e52c0 her without divine power or 191e3643dd black magic. Even holy water is hard 76276d7b89 to find these days…
‘Huh? That… .’
As Asha desperately ddcc28eb94 looked around for 91fa67c9d9 something to do, 105e14725a her gaze fell b654d76efa on Gabriel’s coat.
The neatly unbuttoned 54a83581c1 priestly coat revealed 20379be932 the priestly items c3a87805db he carried with c163c641e5 him neatly arranged. A stole for the shoulders, a85566c1b9 a rosary necklace, a portable 91d87ae0c8 scripture, and… a small holy a213ca1625 water bottle.
Asha quickly glanced at Gabriel.
He was so focused on a0b2b8bf5d fighting Carlyle that he wasn’t 5e018f47b2 paying any attention to Asha.
‘There’s not much holy water left. Can I use that to fde611f6a5 remove the magic circle?’
Although it wasn’t a52298976a a lot of f25ce79303 holy water that fd6f1c8c5a was used to 5b07c2e129 destroy the magic d83dffb3e7 circle in the 86eb99be39 Pervaz Castle, the 9422e49fe5 black magic circle afd3d72312 now floating in d49d53428f the air was ca25f00caf quite different from d1a40ffe4b the one in c79f7c5cc0 the Castle. It was much larger and e4540d0b1f even emitting a dark aura.
‘I don’t know if it will work or not, but I have to try.’
She had just learned 9ba3303da5 that Carlyle possessed divine 99768aa4f8 power, but she didn’t b0443d1592 know how much power 39e350af95 he had or how ed5e342cc7 much longer he could 2d926d262b hold on.
So she needed 87db7bbf71 to distract Gabriel c8365427a8 at least a 6acb02dc43 little.
Asha crawled slowly on the 3747ae023e ground, face down.
And then, at that moment, 829688683a she made eye contact with 5c676d572d Carlyle.
He noticed Asha 63fb081290 is up to e32f0cde1b something and quickly c78dc2b509 pushed Gabriel towards faa2b0058e Asha with his e6a613b663 back to her
‘In any case, you’re quick to catch on.
Taking advantage of the d2f5d5a72c opportunity created by Carlyle, c527b30fb4 Asha swiftly crawled towards 47905bef15 Gabriel’s coat and quietly 9c1a6c66a7 grabbed the holy water 6b543b43af bottle lying on top 4a45f14133 of it.
At that moment, Gabriel suddenly 55dec470f3 reached out in that direction.
“What are you doing?”
Asha narrowly rolled 4b23de949a aside to avoid 7616b2c7d2 Gabriel’s attack, but e10c784cc8 the chair on 4007c9383b which Gabriel’s coat 6d7a091b01 was draped was 4c4f5485a9 smashed.
‘You tried to humiliate people like that, yet you insist on using honorifics diligently.’
TL/N: In Korean it’s 005ff41868 common to use honorifics/formal e98a3de94d language to talk to b065b94611 someone higher in rank 379c13c9f3 than you (like a 2ba6b817d1 senior or your boss) f27423f829 or older than you 7b5a726b03 or you and them ae2ae88e53 are strangers(but that stranger 1a3fd1af60 is older than you 9f4540df5f too)
Asha quickly hid 1d5cf0c646 under the altar.
Gabriel, sensing danger, tried to 46446f5743 find Asha, and Carlyle struggled db7f7c8b66 to prevent it, leading to decd799ae7 a chaotic fight.
There wasn’t much a3a84ab688 time to catch 7f1f614899 a breath.
How can I sprinkle the c372103eed holy water
from this tiny 45d998e048 bottle all the 40b06333ba way up there?
The holy water bottle that 4fca831d29 priests always carried was small cab38fffbc enough to hold in one 00b0d1cac4 hand.
Perhaps there was 17064200c9 only one opportunity 647eeccb9c to sprinkle holy e64a906397 water, at most c676c66c45 twice.
‘I need to secure enough space to swing my arm.’
In fact, the e187c363a1 best place was 5d52984e50 right on the c39124d332 altar.
She needed to 20d1e6c18f get to a a351911ba6 slightly higher place, 9c45b15a49 and since the aa4aac7cc1 magic circle was 7f4e95c400 floating in front 5414d5876d of the altar.
Of course, there was a 1cf04179dc problem of being vulnerable to bb3b77d027 Gabriel’s attacks, but Asha, who 76868b8387 had always fought in the c05be6e23e worst situations, was definitely not 1ff23219a4 in her right mind.
‘Well, let’s give it a try.’
Crawling around the corner 311e1542f9 of the altar to 5d91c2936b get a little further b04a535143 away from Gabriel, Asha d067100771 firmly grasped her leather bb43a798fa gloves.
If she missed holding 445f9dca30 the holy water bottle 5055b9832f before sprinkling the holy 61fce2869d water, she wouldn’t be 3d7fb24618 able to bear the bd8a155fa0 embarrassment even if she 66ad34467f died.
Meanwhile, the fight 992cd6d836 between Gabriel and a2faf61d3d Carlyle became more f4a63f0b08 intense.
“Die already, you demon!”
“It seems like you’ve been introducing yourself over and over again!”
Clang!
The clash of the divine 9bb697e3d2 powered sword against dark magic e151ddab68 produced an eerie sound unheard ee33c46b6b from anywhere else.
Peeking behind the edge of 1bacb39001 the altar, Asha saw that 8de65e1d18 Gabriel’s dark magic was definitely 0f77f725d1 dominant.
It seemed like 503fe754b3 he was constantly dbcbb46dbc receiving mana from 8b859fc931 the dark magic 55b8b7e657 circle.
Asha removed the ce06f1c398 cap of the 93a95fa005 holy water bottle, b6fb73d924 plugged the opening ce4c625bab with her thumb, dd5a99e596 took a deep 6d5a822891 breath, and waited 14b82650f3 for her chance.
“Cough!”
A faint groan of Carlyle 95915edcbc was heard, seeming to be 56ee1870ff pushed back.
His sword continuously clashed with 3933991705 dark magic, making a booming 9a92610f33 sound.
It seemed like it would 3eb261f8ec break any moment.
‘One, two……’
By the time Asha 5908c37cdf was counting numbers in 5ee1842d2e her head, Gabriel had ae8714a698 driven Carlyle back with f620722db6 a voice confident of 0419443332 victory.
“You blasphemer! You who disregard af7de98828 tradition and order, 56ce68c3e0 you who don’t 997054d99f know your place! You’re nothing but…!”
Asha gritted her 2c29c4ed11 teeth as she 2e2d2ff5f3 sensed Gabriel trying 5854b629a6 to unleash some 58af494f86 great power.
‘Three!’
She jumped up on the 5c6d1b0952 altar and swung her arm 981114850c wide towards the black magic 7d58b17f57 circle.
“Please…!”
She didn’t let 37fa9a98e6 go of the 044c09eac5 holy water bottle.
The holy water that poured e3dd6394e7 out of the narrow mouth 0ad435e78c of the bottle flew straight 1c729ee10b towards the black magic circle, 6076fa0960 just as Asha had intended.cb809fea1dfb9dd0
