The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Traveling to the Past (2)

I rushed forward and managed to catch up with Lea and Adrian.

I hid in the grass and clenched my fists as I tried to summon them.

It's amazing that I didn't go crazy or die even though I didn't have any holy power left.

But I can't help them.

My body is not in its best condition either.

Besides, I have no one here to help and protect me.

What can I do now?

Is there anything I can do?

Am I not just a burden?

I breathed and bit my lips.

'Stupid, since when did I become like this?'

Before I touched the water lizard, I had no holy power. I also have no status, no money, no family. I've been living at the risk of regression. Even when I can't think like an adult when I'm hungry or sick, I still survive.

"I wasn't afraid of anything back then."

I have achieved many things despite all the obstacles back then.

I have nothing, but I always try hard to protect something. Whether it's me or someone else.

"Think, there's gotta be a way."

My head was dizzy, but I calmly looked around and remembered the details on this mountain.

I grabbed Lea's shoulder.

"You……!"

Lea, who was shocked, looked around and lowered her voice.

“I told you to come back. Why did you come all the way here?”

"I have a way to defeat the enemy."

“What do little children know? This young man has helped me. It's dangerous, so go-"

"I'll lure them away."

"There's no way you can do that."

I pointed at myself with a confident expression.

“Look at me, they won't be wary if they meet a young girl like me. So Lea and Adrian.”.

As I whispered my plan, their eyes widened.

***

I grabbed the bloodied cloak and ran in front of the enemy. And once I met the enemy, they were surprised to see me.

The knight who ran towards me said.

"That's a little boy."

"What's he doing at this hour?"

A man in heavy armor who was busy giving orders among the knights approached me. His gaze turned to the robe I was holding.

"What's that?"

"C, clothes."

I feigned fear and stepped back, the heavily armed man grabbed my wrist violently.

"Aah!"

“I know it's clothes. I have eyes. But what I'm asking is who the owner is. It's not yours, is it?”

“…….”

I immediately shed tears. As I cried while hiccuping, someone approached me.

'Oh that's a witch.'

The witch asked in a somewhat friendly voice.

“We don't mean to scare you.you'll be able to go home without much trouble. But whose shirt is this?”

"I, I was told not to say it ......"

The man took the silver coin from his pocket and handed it to me.

"Whose is this?"

'So full. Goody. Now, even if I told them, they would think that I would tell the truth because of the coin.'

“I don't know his name. I was collecting twigs to use as firewood, and a sister asked me to help.”kataku while touching the silver coin.

"Help them?"

“A baby will be born..”.

As soon as I said that, the man in heavy armor and the witch exchanged glances.

“I wonder why these rats are hiding in the mountain while running away, so this gives birth.”

"Speed up. We don't know how long babies born on rough mountains can survive.”

'What do they mean?'

The witch spoke as if she had to save the baby. The heavy armored man nodded his head.

'They want the kid, not Lisette, who they're after?'

Wh why?

If they're going to take hostages, Duchess Dubbede will have had enough. However, they actually killed Lisette and manipulated their memories.

'Maybe their memories were manipulated in order for them to get the child...!'

Upon awakening, I grabbed the robe tightly. The witch asked me.

“We are here to help them.”

“R, really?”

"of course. Can you lead me to where they are? ”

"Yes!"

I nodded and the knights began to follow me.

The heavily armored man had only left three knights here and with that amount, Lea and Adrian could handle them.

I led them and walked for a long time. Still, I did not forget to hear what the heavily armored man and the witch had said.

"Are you sure you've opened the barrier?"

"Yes. Communication tools and moving circles will never be used in the Dubbede region for a while. But now that they've been warned, Theodore Dubblede will soon find out that something has happened to the mansion.”

"It's okay, they're a bunch of cowardly scum."

“Dubblede maids are famous for their persistence.”

"Ugh, another troublesome bunch, and to think that Theodore Dubblede took her as a wife ......."

'Are they talking about Lisette?'

The heavily armored man continued to grumble.

“I should have killed him as soon as I found him. Who knows ****** the breakout will be Duchess? Damn, wasting such a God-ordered life. A girl who deserves to die-”

"Take your mouth."

As the witch coldly warned him, the heavily armed man coughed in vain as if he was embarrassed.

“Not like that...but why did they come all the way to a dark place like this?”

“Are we on the right track?”

“Y, yes..”

"The girls won't have time to go so far into the mountains ..."

As the heavily armored man muttered, the magician also looked around.

“Son, you said you were looking for firewood in the mountains?”

"Yes." Yeah."

The witch glanced at my hand.

“But now that I see it, the boy's hand is not rough. Like the son of a noble family who never suffered. Why did he take firewood?”

He gritted his teeth and added.

"We're too careless."

"What do you mean?"

When the heavily armored man asked, the witch spoke in a low voice.

“It looks like we are careless because they are children. It's bait.”

'I'm caught!'

When I retreated, the man shouted with a very angry expression.

"How dare this fucking rat fool me ?!"

“K, you're right..”

As I clenched my hand tightly,

Bzzt

Ground vibrates.

Soon something big fell off the cliff.

Our eyes were fixed on something falling off a cliff at once. Everyone froze as if time had stopped for a few seconds.

Bzzt!!

With a terrifying cry the soldiers shouted.

“Arghh!! It's monster!”

I looked towards the heavily armored man and the panicked witch.

"Look, we came to the right place."

A trap was set up by me, Lea, and Adrian for you.

“This damn girl...!”

"Avoid that, Sir Benedict!"

As the flying monster opened its beak, countless sharp teeth were revealed. And in an instant, it bit the shoulder of the heavily armored man.

“Arghh!!”

As he shouted, the knights were even more panicked.

'This is Zachary's tactic!'

Zachary's nefarious tactics that give him victory in virtual battles. The tactics he used to defeat Shuheil. Looking at the topography of this mountain, I realized that there was a nest of monster birds here.

'The monster will be near where the haro flowers are blooming.'

That's why there's a monster on Mount Redgus behind Dubbede's mansion.

They need a witch to kill monsters. There was a witch now, but it was impossible for him to kill her.

This was because, just like in virtual battles, the formation of the knights completely collapsed, thus not giving enough time for the magician to cast.

Even the commander was confused so it was impossible.

The witch shouted.

"Running away!"

'Yes. Run, you!'

They said that there was a barrier made by the witch in this area. This is a barrier that disables the use of communication tools and moving circles.

It's the best time to break it when they're freaking out so my dad can come here.

'Am I not great?'

I smiled as I watched the knights escape in confusion.

'Oh, I also have to run away!'

I quickly threw the robe at the monster bird. The monster bird reacted to the smell of blood, snatched away his robe and bit him.

I ran in a hurry.

'I'll run the fastest. I know this place very well.'

Those enemies would not know where to go, so they would continue to be chased.

That time,

"Aah!"

The heavily armored man came from behind.

Even as she was dying from the bite on her shoulder, she ran towards me.

'This blood...!'

The man in heavy armor slumped down, and the gaze of the monster bird turned towards me.

The six eyeballs in his head were staring at me.

The flying monster bird ran towards me, and I closed my eyes tightly.

'Dad!'

But it's weird.

It doesn't hurt no matter how much time passes. As I slowly opened my eyes, a slender back stood in front of me.

"It's okay."

Not likely. I stiffened and saw the person wrapped around me.

"Are you okay?"

“…….”

"Son."

“…..Lisette.”

My face turned pale as he smiled slowly.

I look around.

Lea killed the monster bird with a huge spear.

Cecilia helps Lea.

Adrian conquers the monster wings with divine power. And I saw Reina hugging the blanket on the cliff.

'He ...... .'

The youngest child has been born. Lisette looked at me and wrapped her hands around my cheeks.

"……Son.".Son."
