Chapter 49: I will protect your smile

"Did they miss our target? They are a bunch of useless!"

Somewhere in the water park, Veronica gritted her teeth, she had ordered a large part of the high-level rats to capture Arthur.

She thought that even with her shadow guards from Arthur, the rats would have no problem and would successfully abduct the boy.

Who would have thought, that the ambush party would be trapped in the shadow dimension by a Legendary grade Artifact and would take too long to break this seal?.

And even more unacceptable that this same group has lost the boy, even their detection devices still could not locate him.

Unfortunately, the spatial and time location artifacts were useless in this barrier, so she could only opt for the heat, movement, and Clairvoyance trackers.

However, Arthur's group had Legendary grade anti-detection devices, so their devices were found to be confused and the rats were sent blindly through the park.

".. !!"

The rats in charge of the mission knelt and began to tremble, this was their mistake and they had no excuses, they underestimated their enemy and completely neglected that Arthur could also fight.

After all, Arthur is a man, and men by nature are skittish, protected by their wives, and fear battles, unfortunately for them, Arthur is different.

"Damn, if you want everything to go well, you have to do it yourself!"

With no other option, Veronica was going to take the child herself, her body lit up and a small cube appeared in her hand, which projected a three-dimensional image of the entire amusement park.

This Cube is a Divine Grade Artifact, [Pirate's Map]

This Artifact was very famous in the past and also one of great value in the search for treasures or people since it scans an area of ​​approximately 1000 Kilometers and transmits a three-dimensional image in real-time.

"I found you ~"

Smiling, Veronica put a hand to her lips, likewise, she saw how a little fox was leading a group of people.

--------------

"Young Master, this path is not the right one, if we want to get out of the barrier we should have turned left, not to enter this tunnel"

"I know CC-1, however, we need to make a little detour ..."

His goal was to get out of the barrier, however according to his calculation and the Compass of Lost Wishes.

He had to enter this tunnel if he wanted the following events to happen according to his prediction.

CC-1 of course did not understand, using tunnels this time was a bad idea, rats are an underground race, being underground means being in their territory and it would be much more difficult to evade them in their territory.

With his compass pointing straight ahead, Arthur raised his hand, stopping the group.

"Young Master?"

Seeing Arthur stop, CC-1 bowed her head, likewise, the group stopped.

"I need my guards ..."

Pointing their finger in a particular direction, the group followed his finger and narrowed their eyes, thus activating their visual spells.

In the darkness of the tunnel and in what looked like a room, Arthur's shadow guards were being tortured and hung with chains.

These guards had been left behind when Arthur escaped into the shadow dimension, unfortunately, they couldn't hold out too long and were overwhelmed by a large number of rats.

"Young Master ..."

CC-1 did not know what to say, for Arthur to return for his guards who sacrificed for their duty, touched her sentimentally, however, she also knew that this was a bad idea, although there were not too many rats watching, it was still not necessary to have a confrontation which could alarm the other rats, putting themselves in danger.

At least from a logical point of view, his guards fulfilled their mission, this was the end for them.

"Don't worry, CC-1, I have a plan ..."

Turning his gaze to Carter, Arthur continued.

"I need his help, Your Highness Carter"

-----------------

"Your Highness, we have reached the limit of the barrier, detected several rats around"

"Look for the exit ..."

"If her Highness Charlotte ..."

Obeying orders, Charlotte's guards quickly activated their spells and searched for a weak spot in the barrier, as well as the weaker rats.

[It will not be easy to get out of this barrier, it was created by a World Artifact unless a World Artifact or a high-level Transcendent makes their move, it will be impossible to escape]

"I know"

Biting her thumb, Charlotte also knew that this would not be easy, however, this was the best solution if she wanted to prevent Arthur from being carried away by the angels, unlike Hatsumi, Charlotte decided to go out and send a message to her mother.

The Royal Family possesses various World Artifacts, they would quickly destroy this barrier.

Unfortunately, Claudia could not leave, otherwise, she would not be so worried.

"Your Highness, we have a problem ..."

"Hm?"

As she thought about her options, one of her guards spoke to her.

"It is her Highness Lilian, she has come ..."

Pointing to the edge of the barrier, Charlotte opened her mouth, there was her older sister with her guards, facing a mini-army of rats.

Lilian was not the same as Charlotte that she would expect and she would seek the best way to break the barrier, she would use absolute power to crush her enemies.

Lilian is the physical description of Dragons arrogance, so regardless of the cost of it, Lilian would bombard rats with her artifacts.

"Big sister ... you"

Charlotte brought a hand to her head, this was bad, the more mana disturbance there was in the area, the more rats would attract, however, this was not of Lilian's concern, for her it did not matter how many rats appeared, she would simply make them fly with her artifacts.

In this sense, Lilian is invincible, her artifacts gave her the protection and attack power that she needed.

"Huh?"

Suddenly in the middle of the fight, Charlotte saw a girl with two fox tails walk across the battlefield, with several fox guards behind her.

(The Protagonist and the villain team-up, this is weird ...)

Sighing, Charlotte didn't know what to think, these two in the light novel were enemies to the death, but right now they were fighting shoulder to shoulder to break through the barrier.

(Script power is Op)

Likewise, Charlotte felt envy, Ludi's luck was broken, if Lilian's strength is hers, many of her artifacts and the Innate ability that allows her Parallel activation of said artifacts, Ludi's strength is ridiculous. luck of her.

She was not being hurt in any way, at most she was with some scratches or bruises, but that was it, the attacks of the rats were avoiding them by pure chance.

Those fatal attacks were not effective on her, Charlotte now understood why Ludi was able to survive the great war and she was the one who put an end to it.

With this going for her, Lilian and Ludi have brought too many headaches to the elemental rats.

"What do we do, Your Highness Charlotte?"

The guard next to Charlotte asked, right now they needed to act, with Lilian present, her chances of breaking the barrier are greater, however as someone who swore allegiance to Charlotte needed her orders.

"Of course we are going to support my older sister!"

Since Lilian had made her move, there was no need for them to be hidden, when the reinforcement of the rats arrive, they will be in trouble, and she could not let Lilian be defeated, otherwise, Charlotte would be the one who would suffer.

Quickly joining the battlefield, the boundary between the barrier became chaotic, not to underestimate two Dragon Princesses and the Fate of the protagonist.

---------------

"Arthur ... Are you sure it will work?"

"If what Miss Hatsumi says is true, I am her target, so I am the best decoy ..."

Sighing, Arthur brought a hand to his fan as he activated his artifacts hidden among the blades.

Right now his fan and Beta's necklace were his greatest protection, so he wouldn't hesitate to activate them.

"I trust you, Your Highness Carter ..."

Without further hesitation, Arthur and CC-1 walked forward, taking the path to the right, where their guards were imprisoned.

Carter on the other hand trembled and his eyes clouded when he saw Arthur's back move away, he also turned his gaze to Hatsumi.

"You're a woman, but all you do is cry! You should be the decoy and not Arthur!"

Snorting coldly, Carter waited for the signal, likewise, the earth began to shake, Carter did not hesitate and snapped his fingers, his guards quickly began to dig even deeper.

Tears fell from Hatsumi's beautiful eyes, being treated as a burden was the worst, but she is a normal girl in her world, far from violence and the harsh life of society, even in this life she enjoyed even greater privileges Unfortunately there is no free food in the world, people of high status and money faced these risks in their lives, that they can live and count it is the value of the strongest and most intelligent.

[Master]

Even Lupeta did not know what to say, to be brave or not, it is not limited to gender, both men and women must face problems head-on.

Especially in this world where women are the first to go out and protect their husbands.

All it takes is a decision and Lupeta was hopeful that in the future, Hatsumi can make up her mind and fight for her future.

---------------

"Young Master Arthur ... You don't need to expose yourself to danger, please let me be the bait ..."

"That won't work CC-1 ..."

Shaking his head, Arthur the rats are not idiots, they would know for sure that CC-1 is a distraction, plus Arthur needs all the rats to focus their attention on him and thus prevent them from discovering Carter.

"Young Master ..."

CC-1 bit her lip and clenched her fists, since she has served the Van Panthohimes, it is the first time she has seen the courage of a man and being the first to offer himself as bait.

Arthur did not need to expose himself to danger, CC-1 would gladly offer to be the bait, however, he could not oppose Arthur's orders, not since his handsome face turned serious.

This did not like CC-1, she had been for years in the shadow of Arthur who was too used to his smile that was abnormal, Young Master's smile is his light as well as her motivation, seeing him frown and sigh is something that the pride of CC-1 would not tolerate.

Protect Arthur's smile ...

It is reason enough to enter hell and return...

"These elemental rats are not our main enemy, the real enemy is yet to come and we need to be prepared ..."

"If this is Young Master's order, allow this humble guard to live up to his expectations ..."

CC-1 would not hesitate, if his Young Master is willing to step forward for his companions, CC-1 had no right to stop him, Arthur is her reason for existence, for him, CC-1 was trained and cultivated by the Van Panthohime, it was time for CC-1 to respond to all that kindness, fulfilling her duty with his utmost power.

Walking at a steady pace, Arthur and CC-1 reached their destination, likewise, CC-1 activated her magic power, thus deactivating her invisibility, while Arthur ran in the opposite direction ...

"Who?!"

And as she did so the rats in the underground room quickly turned their heads and upon seeing CC-1, her eyes lit up.

However CC-1 did not give them any chance to act, a magic circle appeared at her feet and the shadow expanded.

[Blinking shadow]

CC-1's figure quickly seemed to multiply and her body moving at high speed, easily breaking the speed of sound.

The sword on CC-1 glowed and the nearest elemental rat took the hit.

* Shiiiii

* Bam

Breaking the ground and cracking the ceiling, the elemental rat was knocked out, a single hit was enough to knock it out, likewise, CC-1 did not stop and continued with its continuous attacks.

"Surround her, don't let her escape!"

The leader of the group quickly gave her orders and they drew their weapons, likewise, several elemental rats also activated her magic power and disappeared instantly, chasing CC-1.

* CLANG

The sound of swords clashing and bullets being fired was heard, creating shock waves that shook the tunnel.
