Chapter 702
Episode 179. Inescapable Trap (1)
First class butler Petro, Runcandel’s butlers, literati, about 30 Colon natives, and Picon Minche’s contractor, Vin Blanche.
The knights led by Mary successfully infiltrated Hufester and rescued about a hundred survivors.
“… … There was no problem until we confirmed that our allies, who were originally thought to be in my older sister’s territory, had fled to the west of Delki, and infiltrated there again.”
“I was strangely lucky, although chaotic knights and monsters continued to attack me. Before we could explore in earnest, the butlers who remained in the manor informed us of the situation, and Mother… … No, not only Rosa, but also powerful enemies like the knights of the mausoleum did not appear.”
Daytona and Haytona said. The two of them and Jin were sitting in front of the recovery room where Yona and Mary were, making confused faces.
“Even after arriving in Delki, things went smoothly. Prince Laika, a completely unexpected figure, has been keeping the survivors well hidden. However, while taking over the rescue targets, the ship of Cosmos was escaping into the waiting sea. I saw Difus-nim… … .”
Dipus Runcandel.
He who attacked Merry and the knights at the end had a form completely engulfed in chaos. Like Rosa, horns sprouted from his head.
-under. What will become of Brother Difus and his knights now?
-Everyone will be imprisoned in the dungeon. 4 horsemen… … Rosa had been coveting it before. He’s likely to be Rosa’s. by chaos.
The story Mary heard from Lynne Milkano turned out to be true.
“As soon as the second brother appeared, we thought the operation was bound to fail. Just releasing the energy was enough to shake the Cosmos fleet. Even if we all stood up, it seemed like we couldn’t help him.”
As soon as Merry saw Dipus, she approached him like a bewildered person.
-Brother… … Right? Difus brother. It’s me, it’s Mary. don’t you know me
-Sister Mary, you can’t go! stop!
Even when Mary faced Difus, who had changed, she seemed to have no intention of fighting him.
Dipus didn’t even swing his sword at Mary like that.
Rather, he smiled contentedly and waited slowly for Mary to come closer.
-[Yes, Mary. The place you should be is next to me, not Tikan. Come on, let me help you. As always.]
Dipus even greeted Mary while saying that.
But fortunately.
Mary didn’t lose her mind when she saw Difus.
“Your sister immediately recognized that there was no answer to confront your brother head-on, and you showed your wits. If sister hadn’t pretended to collapse at that time, we wouldn’t have been able to come back… … .”
Difus has not forgotten the relationship between himself and Mary in the past.
So in his eyes Mary’s actions seemed reasonable.
In other words, careless.
As soon as Merry got close to Dipus, she calmly unleashed a light-speed thrust, opened the volcano, and entered the battle.
Dipus lost half of his body at the start.
Mary used her swordsmanship more ruthlessly than ever before, and only then did the Tona brothers and the knights realize her intentions and hurriedly prepared to escape.
The battle didn’t last very long.
The spirit of marriage quickly restored Dipus’ body, which had more than half blown away. Intuitively, Mary was sure the moment he fully recovered, there would be no next.
So she fled to the fleet with all her might while Difus was recovering, but she couldn’t help but take a few attacks from Difus just before arriving.
That was why Mary was in the healing room now.
“… … Youngest, I am so worried about my sister.”
I wasn’t talking about the wounds on the body.
mind.
It was definitely acting that Mary used her wit to drive Difus away for a moment, but even that painful heart couldn’t be fake.
‘Was it because of Dipus-hyung that YuRia wasn’t in a good condition? Sister Mary’s things have increased in Tikan, so the Power of Truth may have foreboded such a bad future from him. To Sister Mary… … I don’t know what to say.’
While Jin silently patted his brothers on the shoulders, a crowd of people rose from inside the healing room.
“worry? I’m more worried about you guys who are sitting there getting comforted by Jin, Tona guys.”
“Sister Mary!”
“Sister, are you awake… … !”
The eyes of the Tona brothers who jumped up and looked at Mary were red.
Mary clicked her tongue at the sight.
“I was awake earlier. But I was too tired, so I tried to hug Yona and take a break, but I keep hearing voices. I came out because I think it’s my duty to defeat the two of you if you two do it like idiots.”
“Sorry, sister.”
“But I didn’t cry. Of course, if you hit me, I’ll be sweet.”
“I’m proud of you, pathetic bastards. Jin is your younger brother. I understand that his strength or ability is lower than that of his younger brother. But even if you have a mental head, you have to work hard to look like the hyungs. How long will you just lean on Jin? It means to have a little bit of a strong corner.”
After a round of shots at the Tona brothers, Merry met Jin’s eyes.
“You don’t make that shit-chewed face either. When the boss shows signs of worry, the people under him are bound to feel more frustrated.”
“Yes, sister. I will listen.”
“It’s not that I couldn’t save people, and it’s not that my brother Difus did that… … It sounds like a mess, but it’s not at all unexpected.”
Anyone who knows the relationship between Dipus and Mary will know.
The fact that Mary was overdoing herself and pretending to be okay.
Jean had a lot of respect for Mary.
That he would never show his weak side again, and that he would never lose his cool even if the day came when he faced Diphus that had been engulfed in chaos.
Since coming to Tikan, she has kept her word.
Giving clumsy consolation to such Mary was rather an insult.
“So what we have to worry about now is the safety of the remaining survivors and the intentions of Brother Difus.”
“Sister, if it’s Difus-niisama’s intention… … ?”
“No matter how you think about it, Brother Dipus let us go on purpose. Cosmos’ ships are amazing, but if my brother had made up his mind and pursued her, she would have been able to catch them.”
“Huh, sister. Then, Difus-nim-nim regained his senses for a while.”
“Is that it? Haytona. In the first place, such assumptions should be ruled out altogether. My brother is no longer the person we used to know. You have crossed the river of no return.”
It is no different that Mary rules out even the slightest hope for Difus.
She was sure that the moment she put her hopes on Dipus, Rosa would definitely use it in some way.
Or, the corrupted Dipus himself uses it.

The best choice she could make for Difus was to end Rosa and the Garden of Swords as soon as possible.
Even if he had to cut Difus in the process.
“Anyway, I kept thinking about why my brother let us go, even while lying down. Somehow… … Despair, I have a feeling it might be because of that.”
During Mary’s absence, Valeria wrote down the information her colleagues found out in a notebook and left it in her healing room, and Mary looked through it all.
“The reason why Rosa uses Joshua is also a situation that is presumed to create despair? Maybe it’s the same with Diphus’ brother. Instead, my brother’s side is different from Joshua’s… … It’s not that you fall into despair yourself, but your role is to maximize the despair of others.”
“Brother Difus decided that letting go once and then capturing it again would be more effective in creating despair than annihilating his sister and the rescue targets in Delki. Are you saying this?”
“Yes, because failure is always greater after success. Or maybe he wasn’t satisfied with the despair he got from killing us in Delki. As I said just now, my older brother did not temporarily find reason in the chaos because of me. It’s not even that he sent us away just on a whim. There must be a reason, and it must be related to the completion of Rosa.”
Only time and despair complete Rosa.
Jin thought that Mary’s hunch was correct.
“In that case, Difus-nim will lure us in again.”
When a hunter releases his prey, it is usually when he is trying to lure out a larger game by baiting him.
“Yeah, I guess. Prepare well, or we should strike first… … It’s hard to judge. There are too many options for my brother to choose from, and it would be too risky to act first.”
“First of all, we will deliver information about Difus to Kingelo and Zipple. Orgal is currently looking for Joshua, so I think we need to check Difus’s location along the way.”
Difus was the same as Joshua.
Unless somehow found and completely eliminated, Rosa will continue to build despair through them.
Unlike Joshua, however, Difus’s death will inevitably lead to Jean and Mary’s despair.
Even so, Mary thinks getting rid of Dipus is the only thing for him, but Jin wanted to find another way.
‘Maybe Rosa wants us to kill Brother Dipus. Besides, my older brother has a body transformation, so it is impossible to treat him with the current purifier.’
The best is to subdue Dipus and then seal it away until a means of purification can be found. As if Runtia had been left in subspace.
The moment he thought that far, Jin saw Casimir and Jet approaching from the other side.
Casimir had just come to see Jin after receiving a report from Jet.
“Sir Casimir.”
“Gongja Jin, I just got a bad call from Zipple.”
“Did you really mention the termination of the temporary alliance?”
“No, rather, I requested support as a temporary ally. The Lutero Magic Federation was attacked, and the attacker… … He said he was Lord Difus.”
Jin, Mary, and Tona brothers reflexively gnashed their teeth.
Difus had already started moving.
