Chapter 192 Isn’t Talia the Great Love Poet?
The rainstorm in Ikerita was getting heavier.
Even the Cat Boss Restaurant hadn't had any customers push the door in for a while.
The wooden house seemed extremely peaceful. The hanging chandeliers emitted a soft glow. The warm yellow light was reflected on the retro wooden stairs, completely blocking the storm outside.
Most of the customers in the restaurant were enjoying their meals leisurely, glancing at the rain outside the window from time to time.
“…”
Phoenix looked at the clock between sips of coffee.
If the target does not appear after another hour, he will hypnotize himself again, temporarily give up the task and look for the next opportunity.
Last night, after Lanqi sent the Duchess here, he went back and forth twice and then they separated.
Now Lanci is fighting with Adams in the shadow world in Ikerit Academy and cannot get away for a while.
Frey and the student union president entertained the academic visiting team heading to the Knight Academy.
The two biggest variables were gone, and the Duke's daughter had no idea that danger was approaching her.
This is a good opportunity to kill the Duke's daughter without any risk of failure.
Although the three of them were difficult to deal with together, after returning to the real world, they were too casual and careless in their Ikerite life.
The only one who was a little wary was Ranch, who gave his ace summon [The Great Love Poet] to Hyperion to accompany her.
According to intelligence, this summoned creature has a very high level of self-awareness and intelligence, and can communicate with Ranchi telepathically. Once the summoned creature encounters any danger, Ranchi will be able to sense it immediately.
Earlier in [Purgatory Corridor Academy], the reason why Lilette, who was under the command of the Decayed Bishop, failed was because she accidentally killed the poet of great love in the end, causing Lanqi in the principal's office to notice the situation and rush to rescue Hyperion.
But this time, such good luck will not happen again.
No one can save Hyperion.
Suddenly, cheerful laughter came from the handrail of the attic on the second floor.
Phoenix, who was sitting on the first floor, raised his head slightly, his eyes passing through the exquisite pavilion structure of the restaurant and falling on the stairs.
I saw a girl wearing a slim-fitting Ikerite Academy uniform chatting with someone she was traveling with.
Silver hair, amber eyes, tall, elegant and dignified, she is the Duchess of Hyperion.
Next to her, there was another gray-haired woman with a cold expression. Although her disguise and acting skills were excellent, there was no doubt that she was Lanqi's trump card summon [Great Love Poet].
The aura on his body was very weak, no different from that of a first-level civilian.
As the two chatted, their pace going downstairs naturally slowed down.
"Ms. Tata, why didn't you wake me up?"
Hyperion seemed a little guilty. She had never slept so deeply before and slept for more than ten hours before waking up.
"I see you are sleeping soundly."
Talia simply said, her heels tapping lightly on the wooden treads of the stairs with each step, making a slight echo.
"Then you don't have to lie next to me and keep looking at me..."
When they reached the platform in the middle, Hyperion looked out the window at the rainy scenery and muttered a little embarrassedly.
Although the first moment she opened her eyes she saw Tata's beautiful face and her golden eyes, which made Hyperion feel at ease, she was no longer a child, and the feeling of being taken care of by her mother while sleeping made her feel ashamed.
"I'm afraid you'll be afraid alone."
Talia's expression didn't change.
"Too……"
It was because Tata had been sleeping next to her that she was able to sleep more peacefully than ever before.
Hyperion didn't say anything else and instead asked Tata what he was going to eat later.
If she didn't say anything, Tata might continue to stay with her like this tonight.
Although it was a bit cunning to ask for excessive care from Tata, who had agreed to protect her in a temporary contract, this was Hyperion's rare little thought.
The two walked down the spiral staircase, the sound of their conversation accompanying them, until they reached the first floor and their figures merged into the aisle of the restaurant.
"When the rain stops, let's go to Ikerit College. Lanqi might be fighting against the ace of Alolan College right now."
Hyperion looked at the clock above the counter and suggested to Talia.
“What’s so good about it?”
Talia answered automatically.
But after thinking about it, for some reason she was also a little curious about what Lanqi was doing now.
"But if you want to see it, let's go together."
Talia said instead.
"Haha, let's go arrest Lanky for his inappropriate moment."
Hyperion's laughter was relaxed and natural, while Talia, who was standing beside her, looked ahead calmly as they walked towards the counter together to order.
Neither of them noticed at all—
The figure of Phoenix sitting at the dining table that he was about to pass in the aisle.
“…”
Phoenix slowly raised the coffee cup in his hand to his lips, which was slightly cold.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
finally.
The moment Hyperion and Talia walked by.
Phoenix sat quietly in his seat, with an imperceptible sneer on his lips.
Under the table, a magic card emitting a brilliant pink glow appeared in his other hand.
As the lightning broke through the darkness outside the window, it instantly illuminated the faces of everyone in the house as if it were daytime.
Boom! The background music that was floating softly in the air in the restaurant was also briefly covered by the rolling thunder outside the window.
And at the same time.
No one noticed that the music in the thunder had changed its tune.
The customers in the aisles and on the seats suddenly stopped all activities they were doing. Their faces were emotionless, their expressions were stiff, and their eyes were empty.
They suddenly stood up in unison, turned around, stomped their feet, and all looked at Hyperion! Not only that thunder, Phoenix also took action.
He held the dagger tightly in his right hand, and before Hyperion could even turn around, he had already thrown it out with all his strength, enough to split the fourth-level Hyperion in half! While Hyperion was stunned, a clear section of the floor in the distance had been cut.
When the crack in the floor passed by Hyperion, it seemed to be blocked by a stronger force and disappeared completely.
The reason why Hyperion didn't seem to be injured was because she had a life-saving card.
This attack also killed the poet of great love, and she, who was only at the first level, disappeared in an instant.
Miss Duke, you can't escape today!
Phoenix's cold expression no longer concealed his murderous intent, and he stood up and approached Hyperion.
The civilians in the restaurant also rushed towards Hyperion with knives and forks like mechanical puppets, as if in a death attack.
Even now.
Lanci discovered the danger on Hyperion's side.
There was no time to arrive at the scene!
This battle will be over soon.
Next, Hyperion will engage in a life-and-death battle with Phoenix, who controls the civilians in the restaurant, from which there is no escape.
He would do whatever it takes to kill Hyperion as quickly as possible, or take her with him.
However.
A strange feeling lingered in Phoenix's heart, and a chill surged from his spine and spread throughout his body in an instant.
A pair of golden pupils stared at him, making him unable to move.
It seemed that he was the one who had truly turned into a puppet at this moment.
Someone seemed to be looking down on him.
Those were a pair of terrifying eyes that made him shiver all over.
The entire space in the restaurant seemed to have become pitch black, with only the pair of devil-like golden eyes being exceptionally clear, making him look particularly small.
