My Husband Is Definitely a Paladin — Chapter 32

TH-THAT... BY ANY CHANCE...

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT THING?

WH-WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT...?

E-EVERY- ONE!

HEAD FOR THE RIGHT PATH WHERE SIR MICHAEL WENT!!!!!

RIGHT NOW!!!!

THE MONSTER SAW REINA...!!!

NO!!!!!!

YOU TWO, RUN, QUICKLY!!!

HURRY!!!

IRENNE!!

NO!!!!!!

AH,

IT'S A SENSATION I'VE FELT ONCE BEFORE.

I'M GOING TO DIE SOON...

I WANTED TO LIVE A LONG LIFE THIS TIME.

MY BODY MOVED ON ITS OWN...

BUT STRANGELY, I DON'T FEEL ANY REGRET.

PERHAPS IT'S BECAUSE IN THIS LIFE,

I HAD A FRIEND WHO THREW HERSELF INTO DANGER FOR ME WITHOUT HESITATION...

THOUGH IT WAS ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME,

THERE WAS DELICIOUS FOOD, SOFT CLOTHES, AND A WARM ROOM.

THE TEA TIMES THE THREE OF US SHARED WERE ALWAYS WONDERFUL.

AND...

AND MORE THAN ANYTHING...

BECAUSE YOU WERE THERE, I.

SIR MICHAEL...?

YOU RETURNED SAFELY! SIR MICHA...

WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!!!

WHY... HOW COULD YOU...

WHY ON EARTH...?

KNOWING YOU COULD DIE...

...I APOLOGIZE FOR STARTLING YOU.

JUST FOR A MOMENT...

PLEASE STAY STILL LIKE THIS.

JUST FOR A MOMENT...

A GROTESQUE MONSTER UNLIKE ANY- THING EVER WITNESSED OR RECORDED.

IF A DEMON HAD A PHYSICAL FORM, IT SURELY WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE THAT.

WHY WOULD A MAN CAPABLE OF ENDING SUCH A CREATURE'S LIFE IN A SINGLE BREATH...

BE TREMBLING SO VULNERABLY

AS HE HOLDS ME IN HIS ARMS...?

SIR MICHAEL!

YOU CAME TO SAVE ME!!!

TO DEFEAT "THAT THING" THAT MY ENTIRE EXPEDITION COULDN'T EVEN TOUCH, ALL BY HIMSELF WITH A SINGLE STRIKE!

SIR MICHAEL, AS A SMALL TOKEN OF MY GRATITUDE-

I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM!

LET ME PERFORM A PURIFICATION FOR YOU...

I WANT THIS MAN!!!!

BECAUSE OF YOU, IRENNE...

YOU...

...PARDON? S-SIR MICHAEL?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, BECAUSE OF ME...?

LADY IRENNE? WHY IS SIR MICHAEL BEHAVING THIS WAY SUDDENLY?

COULD IT BE AN AFTEREFFECT FROM KILLING THAT MONSTER EARLIER...?

TH-THE CEILING!

THE WHOLE DUNGEON IS SHAKING! DON'T TELL ME...!

COLLAPSE!!!

THE DUNGEON IS COLLAPSING!!!

EVERYONE, RUN STRAIGHT TO THE RIGHT!!!!!

IF WE DON'T GET OUT RIGHT NOW, WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT BACK ALIVE!!!

DAMN IT!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THIS DISTORTION DUNGEON?!!!!

SH*T!!! DAMN IT ALL!!!

IF YOU'VE GOT THE BREATH TO CURSE, RUN FASTER!!!!

PANT, PANT!!!!

IT'S THE EXIT!!!!

THE SPOT SIR MICHAEL SCOUTED WAS INDEED THE EXIT!!!!

LADY IRENNE, WHERE IS SIR MICHAEL?!

HE SAID HE'D COVER OUR REAR IN CASE THE MONSTERS PURSUED US, AND THEN HE VANISHED!

THE TWO OF US WILL BE THE LAST TO LEAVE, SO YOU TWO GO FIRST!!

DAMN IT, THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD! YOU MUST MAKE IT OUT SAFE!!

REINA!!! HOLD ON TIGHT!!!!!

SIR MICHAEL?!

WHERE ARE YOU?!!!

SIR MICHAEL?!

IRENNE!!!!!

SIR MICHAEL!!!

IRENNE, HURRY AND GET TO THE EXIT!!

YES! SIR MICHAEL, YOU COME TOO, HURRY...

SIR MICHAEL!!!

IRENNE, DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME-

JUST GET OUT FIRST!!!
