Chapter 212 - As Long As You Have Someone Close To Your Heart!
"Now… I should save you first."
Rosa muttered to herself while pointing her lightning sword at the man clad in an orange suit with fire design. This fire design could be seen outside on the streets and buildings before the invaders barged their way in!
He wore three stars on his suit, so his status was probably the highest in this city! Rosa's goal was to free this man from the ice coffin's clutches, then ask what he knows about the invaders.
Her curiosity was piqued, but the fact that only one got killed by them annoyed Rosa's heart.
She performed a series of lightning slashes on the ice coffin while putting much more force than before, then the man's body began to finally feel some air. A few seconds later, Rosa thoroughly broke the man's prison and freed him!
"Ughh!"
The moment the man's face became free, his nose and ears let out cold blood. He also puked onto the floor before falling into it! It was a disgusting sight, but Rosa threw some cheap stuff to heal him enough to speak!
When the pill hit the cold ground, the man reached for it as if beggar who found some coins on the floor. He hugged the medicine like a lover, then allowed it to roll slowly on his tongue straight into his body!
As the healing properties began to sweep through the man's insides, his body began to tremble! Of course, anyone would be able to tell that he needed time to realize his situation and adapt a little to both coldness and healing medicine.
However, Rosa didn't have time!
The husband told her to be wary about her 'limit', so she ignored the man's poor state and spoke with her noble tone.
"They have attacked you secretly, haven't they? But even if it was a surprise attack, I can't believe The Yuyu Kingdom's forces would lose so badly. So, how did it go?"
The man felt shame upon hearing her words, but he bit his lips then muttered more important matters.
"Save… others… This coldness… might kill citizens…"
"That's right… Still, you can answer me as I save them."
Rosa wasn't that bothered by other residents, but she was still willing to save them! When her sword reached another person prisoned in the ice embrace, Rosa muttered 'The husband chose the wrong person for his trip', then began slashing with overpowered lightning.
She was of course thinking about Xiaoxiao whose flames would already be spread throughout the whole mansion if it were her! It would be also more useful here as Rosa's lightning was developed to be a perfect weapon against one, strong enemy.
It didn't mean she couldn't fight a group of enemies, but it was the perfect weapon against one nonetheless!
"They came out of sudden with their blue flames…"
The man finally began to recite what happened. It was a perfectly normal day and one would expect to see many people clothed differently, not just fire related equipment. This floor was one of many floors that adventurers and others had to go through, so it looked like another casual day.
However, what looked like tribute pay, was something far different! The man suddenly unleashed some kind of treasure to summon the blue flames, then made the huge pillar ascend in the middle of the mansion!
No one was ready for it and its power was just tremendous!
A strength gap was clearly here!
"The whole city is frozen… But I don't see any citizens… Did they get killed? Those… scum!"
"You don't even have medicine on you, so your stuff got stolen."
"..."
Rosa words struck the man. He instantly crawled his way to the desk, then went to the room behind it. It was something akin to treasury for sure! A few seconds later, an ear-piercing scream escaped through the doors!
This annoyed the blonde woman!
"Aren't you too loud? Wasn't it expected?"
She expected it straight from the sight of the whole city swallowed up in the coldness, so Rosa couldn't understand the man's attitude at all. However, he gave her some hints with his whispers!
"My job… My job… Can I keep it? Oh… god… I hope others also got attacked."
"So that's the kind of man you are."
"It's all about my livelihood!"
The man protested while laying on the ground lifelessly. He had a family to feed and just doing some missions would be hard for someone like him! This world was hard to predict and if something bad happened, then his family would be left alone without the family head!
And if someone wanted to beat him just because he has some status in the Yuyu Kingdom, then what would he do? What if someone plotted to use him outside? The man didn't want to give up on his good life in the big mansion where he not only could just work safely for the most of his time, but also show some high attitude that pleased the male's instincts.
"You gotta work hard for an easy life or just get born with it."
Rosa spoke something out of her character which stupefied her too! She looked absentmindedly at the saved adventurer, then threw him to the side.
As the limit was slowly approaching her, Rosa had to move a little faster and stop her chit-chat! Nonetheless, the man's words echoed through her mind.
These words were as such!
"I worked hard enough… but I can do it for another time… If Her Majesty won't be angry and give me a chance, then I will… I will work… damn it… I don't want to just die."
"No one wants to die, but some things are inevitable."
Rosa yet again spoke randomly, her lightning sword shining so much it was blinding!
"That's true…"
The man spoke as if scared by this lightning! However, he kept adding more of his life experiences which were unique on its own!
"But others can help me. I made some friends in other cities! If we all got attacked, then we can beg together! If not, then they can take me and my family to their city! It will be fine until everyone gives up on me!"
"Stop speaking."
"Y-yes! I am sorry? I am sorry…"
