Chapter 182: Sheryl's Betrayal (2)

Marcus managed to block the flying dagger with his arm.

"what!"

Because of the severe pain in his arm, Marcus fell to his knees and cried out.

"It's over Marcus, break that barrier quickly!"

Cheryl pointed the gun at Marcus' head and ordered in a cold tone.

"I, I understand. Don't shoot. Please don't kill me..."

Marcus used his uninjured left hand to raise a dark purple crystal that looked like some kind of magic item.

Then, the crystal began to emit light.

However, the barrier was not lifted, and instead a wave of magical attacks struck into the interior of the barrier.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Because she was worried about Rose inside the barrier, Cheryl's attention was instantly focused on the barrier.

Marcus gave a cunning smile and pulled something out of his pocket.

With a snap, Cheryl felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

"How could you..."

Cheryl pressed her bleeding abdomen and fell to the ground.

Because she had never encountered an enemy who used firearms like herself, she had never taught others how to use firearms or passed on related knowledge.

Cheryl had never expected that Marcus would hide a pistol as a secret weapon.

Marcus stood up from the ground, pulled out the dagger from his right arm, and poured the healing potion on it.

Then, he walked towards Sheryl, who was lying on the ground, with an arrogant smile.

“Hahaha~! Now you know how powerful I am, you little annoying brat!”

Marcus laughed meanly.

"I've always hated you, little brat! You joined the cult later than any of us, but you were appreciated by the Lord God and even stepped on our heads. It's really frustrating!"

While venting his long-accumulated resentment, he stepped hard on Cheryl's injured abdomen.

The pain made Cheryl moan uncontrollably.

Cheryl tried to endure the pain and crushed the object hidden in her teeth.

"You bastard brat, and Marina, that stinky bitch, do you know how much suffering you have caused us? Now you are getting your comeuppance! Ahahaha!"

Marcus kept stepping on Sheryl's body and cursing at her and Marina.

"After I get rid of you, I will go and kill that bitch hiding in Illya and Arya. In this way, I will be the most influential person in the Imperial Central Pastoral District. I will become the new bishop here."

He pointed the gun at Sheryl and declared with a satisfied look on his face.

"So, you go die..."

With a snap, a big hole appeared in Marcus' body.

He seemed to have not figured out the situation yet. He looked down at his body stiffly, and then fell down weakly.

"You're the one who's going to die, you disgusting sissy."

Cheryl sat up, holding her still-aching abdomen, and shot at the few surviving cultists.

After making sure there were no other obstacles, Cheryl took out the space ring from Marcus's body and found a prop that seemed to be able to remove the barrier.

She stood up, holding on to a tree trunk beside her, and walked towards the barrier with some difficulty.

The moment the barrier was lifted, she saw Liliana lying on the ground, and Rose kneeling beside Liliana and sobbing.

(The girl is beyond saving. At least Rosemary must escape.)

Cheryl pointed her gun at Lucius who was slowly approaching the two of them.

Snap, ding-dong. Snap, ding-dong.

The bullet fired from the pistol did not explode, but made a crisp but weak metal collision sound after hitting Lucius's armor.

Lucius slowly turned his body after noticing Sheryl's presence.

He pulled out the broken sword that was stuck in his face and began to move towards Sheryl.

"Who are you? You are also an obstacle... All the obstacles should die. No one can stop me. No one can take Senior Rose away from me."

Lucius said deliriously.

(Tsk, it's totally useless...)

Cheryl pulled out a metal handle from her waist and injected magic power into it.

A light blue blade immediately extended from one end of the metal handle.

Cheryl speculated that there might be some special curse on Lucius's armor that could cause objects that came into contact with it to quickly deteriorate and self-destruct.

Antonio had given her similar magic items in the past.

Since physical weapons cannot cause damage, use magic lightsabers that have no physical entity to attack.

Although Cheryl was not very confident that the magic lightsaber in her hand could cause damage to Lucius.

Because Liliana attacked Lucius' head, his movements seemed a little slow, which was more or less an opportunity for Cheryl.

Even though her abdominal wound had not yet fully healed, Cheryl didn't spend too much effort to approach Lucius and swung her magic lightsaber with all her strength.

The moment the lightsaber was about to touch the armor, it collided with the translucent magic barrier.

Both of them burst out with dazzling magical light.

Cheryl swung her sword with all her strength, but it was easily deflected by the magic barrier.

Lucius, who had a huge scar on his face and looked very horrified, raised the corner of his mouth.

"Tsk, this bastard!"

Cheryl poured more magic power into the lightsaber without giving up, and swung it at Lucius' head again, but the opponent easily blocked it with his arm.

Lucius still had a terrifying look on his face and a disgusting and despicable smile on his face, and was about to swing another fist towards Cheryl's side.

Cheryl hurriedly adjusted the magic lightsaber so that the other end of the handle also ejected a light blue blade of light.

At the same time, she injected as much magic power as possible into the magic shield hanging on her left chest, preparing herself to withstand the next impact.

(Woo!)

Cheryl cried out in her heart.

Lucius's fist was much heavier than she had imagined.

Her magic shield was easily shattered, and the light blade of the magic lightsaber also shattered and scattered, turning into countless blue magic light particles that floated into the air.

Cheryl was hit directly in the side by Lucius, and she flew out.

Because when Cheryl was attacked by Marcus before, she used life-saving drugs.

Even though her spine was broken and her body was twisted unnaturally, she did not die immediately.

(Damn it…)

Seeing Lucius looking at Rose again, Cheryl felt filled with regret.

She had never believed in Antonio in the first place, but she had never expected that he would suddenly betray her and kill Rose at this point in time.

Cheryl knew that she would die soon, and Rose would also be killed.
