Reincarnation Becomes a Girl Due to System
Chapter 163 Lilia (?)
At the exit all went smoothly which surprised them a little.
The three of them did not face a single danger, except for the extremely long passageway, everything seemed as normal as it could be.
It's just that the view along the hallway is not too good at seeing the eyes.
After a while of walking, they finally returned to ground level again, Rion realized that they had arrived at the entrance of the hall where they had first entered part of the castle.
Unlike the first time entering the castle, this time the castle gate was open, and outside the gate was no longer a cold night, but was replaced by a lush forest under the warm spring sun.
It seemed that as long as they were out of this place, they would be able to leave this dangerous castle forever and return to safety.
This also means that they will complete a copy Mission.
Rion and Lena looked at each other a little strangely, "Are we going to finish a copy like this?"
Although Rion still did not know why this witch was the target girl they had to save, but since Lena trusted her, she would not doubt anything.
He just thought, this copy with the highest difficulty does not seem as difficult as he had imagined...
Despite the danger of entering the castle in the beginning, the monsters they encountered afterward did not even include threats at all.
Moreover, the magician he thought was the last boss copy somehow became the target of their rescue.
‘But if the setting is like this, it's not Lilia that they saved earlier... Maybe is the boss of this copy?’
‘Well, maybe it is a problem that Nia and Nao have to face. Now, Lena and I just need to bring the witch out of the castle to finish the copy.’
“Come go.” Lena did not stay any longer, and left the castle with Rion.
Finally, they saw the sun shining again, dispelling some of the gloom the castle had brought, and making the two feel much better.
At the same time, Rion also noticed that the magician on his back was trembling slightly, and it seemed that he was over-excited—
"Ah... we.... we... run away... come on...?"
Rion stopped, "Can you talk?"
Lena also rushed over and said, "Let her down first."
After which, he reached out and touched the witch's head, calming her down a bit by stroking her, "Yes, we escaped, now you're safe."
The magician was about to cry under Lena's gentle touch, struggling to say something, but like her happiness didn't last long
Right after she was about to say a word, a human figure suddenly appeared in front of the forest - it was Lilia.
"Hee..You really saved her."
There was a hint of surprise in his tone, but his expression was still as boring as before.
Rion immediately protected the advance protecting the two of them, raising his full vigilance, "Are you a witch?!"
‘He has left the castle?!’
‘Then, what about the others? Killed?’
Lilia did not deny it, "I already have a name now, my name is Lilia."
"I. is... Lilia..." The witch held in Lena's arm answered with great difficulty.
With the help of Lena's healing potion, her injuries were slightly reduced, and she could barely speak. There are understandable words already a miracle, but they are still a bit vague.
He frantically wanted to say something to the defense, but the more anxious and panicked he was, the more shattered the words he wanted to say.
Lilia directly cut him off, "I wonder why you are still not dead. Didn't you say you wanted to help me at first? Why do you regret that now?"
“What do you mean?!” Rion frowned.
Lilia stared at them for a while, and spoke in a very flat tone—
"She went into my castle, I took her to my bedroom, I told her I was dying, I said she could help me live, and she agreed, she said, and I switched two bodies and let him replace me who's gonna die."
“This is his own promise to help me."
“You swapped bodies with him?” Lena looked at Lilia.
"Yes." Yeah." Lilia nodded.
"Can you change it back?"
"No," Lilia seemed to be wondering why she asked that, "After exchanging bodies, I am no longer a witch, I am Lilia, and she is a magician—she wanted to control the castle and kill me earlier, she said, but this castle always knew that I was the real master, so the castle has helped me to escape as much as possible.”
“Didn't you come here to help me get out of the castle? Your mission is done, and you can go too."
This could also explain the anomalies of the patterns in the previous castle.
"I... Lilia..." The witch had struggled to crawl towards Lilia. If Lena did not hug him tightly, she would advance against Lilia.
Then Rion moved closer to Lilia.
Now that the background of his game was clear, he predicted that he would have to fight this real mage boss next, so he took the first step first, he regarded this person as a powerful last boss and planned to hold him back.
——Then he managed to hold it.
He grabbed Lilia's neck unhindered and lifted her without any resistance at all – and it seemed that his enemy had no reaction at all, which even made Rion himself a little surprised.
Only after he saw Lilia's face flushed red with shortness of breath did he hurriedly lower it, take a few steps back and look at her in surprise.
‘This is a true plot development, right?’
‘Isn't this supposed to be a boss fight?’
‘Why does this girl seem to have no power at all?’
Lilia fell to the ground and coughed for a while before she recovered.
He looked at Rion with a hint of hesitation on his face, "You guys want to kill me? Wh why? Even if you kill me, it is impossible to save that witch... His body is dying.”
“And he himself promised to help me live, I did nothing wrong, why do you want to kill me now?"
Rion's brows stiffened a little more, "He promised to help you live? Aren't you the one who tricked him into exchanging bodies?"
"I didn't lie to her," Lilia said calmly but there was a frustrated tone in her sentence.
"I let him visit my castle, showed him what I looked like, and then told him that he could help me live, and he also said he was willing to help me.”
“I did not lie to him at all, and he now gets my power, gets my castle, this is my gift for him.”
“I have been living here for a very long time, I want to go out and see the outside world, but my body can't do it, but now I can do it.”
At this time, the game suddenly gives the announcement of a new Mission——
[Current mission: Kill the Witch or let her go.]
Lena's expression turned dark.
Now, everything is very clear.
The witch who originally lived in the castle turned into this half-dead appearance for an unknown reason — and she will soon die, so when he saw the girl who accidentally entered the castle, he brought the girl to meet him and ask for help.
The witch really did not cheat on the girl, only she did not tell the girl the price of this request.
Moreover, inside a Mage Castle filled with killing intent, without the help of a Mage, there was no way an ordinary girl could come out alive after entering the castle.
Judging from his current appearance, the character of the witch was also very strange, like a child without experiencing the beauty of the world, although the things he did were extremely hateful, but looking at his current appearance, it was not, it's hard to hate him.
Even though Lilia who entered the castle by accident was also very pitiful, but she could still save him with those 10,000 points.
‘So if you can live, shouldn't that witch not die?’
However, before he could figure out the result, a shot of ice thorns from behind him suddenly pierced Lilia's body in front of him.
Looking at the ice thorns that pierced through his chest, Lilia's lethargic face showed a hint of astonishment.
Maintaining this expression, he slowly fell down.
